Interception from Above the 600th Floor
[Second update delivered! I'll start catching up on updates after dinner~~]
Gu Ding resumed his martial arts training in Robert's territory.
This time, he no longer focused on imitating the punch and finger techniques, or even on the specific fist and finger techniques. Instead, he recalled the feeling of that finger strike and began to try different angles and attack methods.
In Robert's field, time passed day by day.
In the War God Arena, Liliath and her companions soon faced new challenges.
Although Bigge was very strong, someone still dared to challenge him. His opponent was a swordsman from the 602nd floor.
Bigge stood on the ring like an unshakeable mountain, towering above the world, inspiring awe in all who beheld him. When his opponent stepped onto the stage, he checked his stats.
[Name: Buleim]
[Cultivation Level: Demigod]
[God of War Points: 6018]
Arena Tier: 602
Number of battles: 6361
Win rate: 77%
This data is actually quite alarming. The opponent's number of battles and battle points are roughly the same, which means that one has a very high win rate and the other must have had a winning streak.
At this moment, many people were also checking Bigge's data; his God of War points far exceeded the number of battles he had fought.
[Name: Bigge]
[Cultivation Level: Demigod]
[God of War Points: 5086]
Arena Tier: 509
Number of battles: 73
Win rate: 100%
This set of data is undoubtedly incredible, but apart from Gu Ding, almost everyone else in the Gu Ding Team has the same data, with only slight differences in their cultivation levels.
Buleim knew his chances of winning were slim. He chose to take the initiative, without thinking about the outcome; he simply wanted to witness Bigge's swordsmanship firsthand and improve his own skills.
Standing opposite Bigge, he took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of his sword. He had watched Bigge's previous matches and knew that Bigge always waited for his opponent to make the first move. Therefore, he didn't attack immediately but instead chose to gather his strength. As soon as his hand was on the hilt, his aura began to rise, and it became sharp, giving the impression of a razor-sharp blade.
The aura was steadily rising, second by second, but Bigge didn't stop it. He simply watched his opponent quietly, waiting patiently, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Because he realized that this guy Buleim Brem was indeed a very talented swordsman.
Watching the two face off, the surrounding audience grew somewhat expectant. Although neither had made a move, many discerning viewers could tell that Bigge's opponent this time was actually quite strong.
The moment his momentum reached its peak, Buleim moved. With lightning speed, he drew his sword, and a blade of light suddenly shone, as if breaking through the limitations of space, directly striking Bigge's chest.
Only then did Bigge finally move, his movements appearing extremely slow. He reached for his waist, grasped the hilt of his sword, and then slightly drew the longsword, revealing less than a tenth of its full length. A cold glint flashed before everyone's eyes. In the next instant, a crack appeared above the forehead of Buleim, who stood opposite him.
"Your Sword Drawing Technique is not bad, but the prelude is too long. You need more real combat experience to hone it," Bigge gave his advice, then turned and walked off the stage.
Only then did everyone realize that Buleim's attack had vanished without a trace, and the crack on Buleim's forehead began to spread rapidly downwards, extending all the way to his groin. Then, a white light burst forth from the crack, and he was instantly torn in two by that white light, completely turning into data and disappearing from the arena.
This scene chilled the hearts of countless witnesses. They knew that if Bigge's blade were used in real life, it would have ripped a person in two from head to toe. Bigge's blade was designed solely for killing.
Buleim appeared below the ring, his mind somewhat dazed, repeatedly replaying Bigge's slash in his head. The brilliance of that slash was deeply etched into his mind; although he didn't quite understand it now, he knew that one day he would.
Liliath also encountered a challenger, who, like Liliath, was also a woman. The woman was dressed in a unisex suit, had short hair, and wore a top hat.
Even so, the other person's figure was still very well displayed; her long legs and sizable breasts caught Liliath's eye a few more times. Although the other person's chest was well covered by her shirt, Liliath could easily tell that it was definitely not small. This made her unable to resist checking the other person's measurements:
[Name: Sinica]
[Cultivation Level: Demigod]
[God of War Points: 6085]
Arena Tier: 609
Number of battles: 516
Win rate: 98%
Seeing the opponent's stats, Liliath couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Not only did the opponent play very few matches, but they also had an extremely high win rate.
Upon seeing the woman's appearance, the crowd immediately began to murmur among themselves.
"It's Sinica! The powerhouse with a seventy-game winning streak three months ago!" Her identity was quickly recognized.
"It's a real shame for Sinica. Their Eighty Consecutive Wins was ended by a strong player with a floor of over eight hundred." Many people have also watched Sinica's previous matches.
"She is an illusionist, which has obvious advantages, but equally obvious disadvantages. Because she is so focused on studying illusions, her martial arts training has almost come to a standstill. When she encounters an opponent with a powerful soul, her defeat becomes inevitable."
"I just wonder whose illusion magic is stronger between these two women." Some people are also looking forward to this battle.
Sinica looked at Liliath opposite her and realized that the other was actually younger than she had expected. Instead of attacking immediately, she said something that Liliath found baffling, "We're both illusionists, and I don't want you to lose to someone else."
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing?" Liliath has never had a good impression of women with large breasts, and even if the woman is dressed tightly, it doesn't change the fact that she has large breasts.
"Defeat me!" A wave of invisible energy suddenly flashed in Sinica's eyes, and before Liliath could react, it entered her eyes.
For a fleeting moment, Liliath felt a slight dizziness, but it quickly subsided. She knew it was Soul Impact from the other party, trying to pull her into their illusion. But given the strength of Liliath's soul, how could she possibly be pulled into an illusion?
After her attack failed, Sinica looked at Liliath in astonishment. She had not expected that the strength of her opponent's soul would far exceed her imagination. Her soul attack was like a few drops of water splashed on a calm lake, unable to shake the opponent's soul at all.
In the next instant, Sinica saw Liliath's eyes suddenly turn gold, and then her consciousness was pulled into another space.
This was a desolate space. As soon as Sinica found her footing, she looked around and noticed a cave not far away, emanating an unsettling aura. She cautiously glanced at the cave entrance, because as a fellow illusionist, she guessed that Liliath's attack must have originated from there.
Sure enough, a rustling sound came from the cave entrance a moment later. Then, a nearly four-meter-long insect-like beast poked its head out of the cave and let out a shriek upon seeing Sinica.
"This is an insect beast..." A look of horror flashed in Sinica's eyes. The insect beast was made so realistically that Liliath must have encountered it before.
From within the cave, countless insect-like beasts surged forth, flying towards his location. Sinica's mental energy erupted, transforming into countless mental cones that scurried and annihilated them as they fled.
But her escape lasted less than three minutes before she succumbed to utter despair. She saw an overwhelming swarm of insectoid creatures, numbering in the millions—a veritable Insect Tide. The ferocious insect beasts surged towards Sinica like a tidal wave, tearing her to shreds in an instant.
Sinica's consciousness returned to her body, which was still trembling uncontrollably. The Insect Tide was truly terrifying. She could hardly imagine what the person who could create such an illusion had gone through.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, "That illusion, was it something you experienced?"
Liliath nodded; her illusion was indeed created based on her previous experience in the Oul Ruins.
"You're really strong," Sinica looked down at Liliath, frankly admitting that she was not as good as Liliath, "You can at least reach the 800th floor or higher."
"You can get a pass to the Universe Sea after going through 800 floors?" Liliath vaguely remembered that the Sea Emperor had mentioned such a rule.
"Yes." Sinica nodded.
"If I can get the direct pass, it should be much easier for Gu Ding. Fortunately, this time I won't be a burden." Liliath said in a low voice, as if talking to herself, but many people heard her words clearly.
Many people only then realized that Liliath was the weakest member of the Gu Ding Team.
"I lost!" Sinica didn't argue any further, decisively conceding defeat and turning to walk off the ring.
Liliath also stepped off the ring and pressed the challenge button again.
At this moment, Elsa's pairing had just been completed, and she was teleported to an arena... (To be continued...)
