Gu Ding Team's Complete Victory
Chapter 3 delivered, one bonus chapter added, more bonus chapters tomorrow~
To avoid being paired up in the same arena, the Gu Ding Team has always adopted the method of having one person complete the pairing and enter the arena before the second person presses the challenge button.
Elsa pressed the challenge button only after Liliath stepped onto the stage. Liliath's illusion made her opponent feel as if a long time had passed on a conscious level, but in reality, it only lasted a few seconds. Her match had just ended when Elsa's pairing was completed, and she was teleported to the arena.
On the arena, opposite Elsa stood an arrogant young man. He was fairly handsome, but his haughty expression immediately lowered his overall impression. A longsword hung at his waist, clearly indicating he was a Sword Cultivator.
"It's actually Zoe, the swordsmanship genius! Elsa from the Gu Ding Team is really unlucky." The young man's identity was quickly recognized.
"Yes, Zoe used to only linger around the 500th floor, but ever since he obtained a sword technique from the Ancient Civilization Ruins a little over a month ago, he's won thirty consecutive matches with that move. No one can withstand a single blow from him. Also, the longsword Zoe wields is a two-star divine artifact, which he also obtained from the Ancient Civilization Ruins last month. Just looking at the weapon, he already has the advantage. No matter how strong Elsa's physical body is, she can't possibly escape injury from an attack by a two-star divine artifact." Someone else pointed out Zoe's recent changes.
Elsa also clicked on the other party's information to take a look.
Name: Zoe
[Cultivation Level: Demigod]
[God of War Points: 6069]
Arena Tier: 607
[Number of battles: 883]
Win rate: 87%
Judging from this data, the opponent is quite strong. Normally, a player above level 600 has a win rate of around 75%, with very few exceeding 80%. Furthermore, the opponent hasn't had many battles, indicating they must have had winning streaks.
Zoe was clearly a bit tipsy from his recent string of victories. He looked at Elsa with disdain, "I've heard you have a very strong physique, so I want to test my sword against you. At the same time, I want to prove to the world that my swordsmanship is invincible."
"I don't think you can do it, because you're too weak." Elsa shook her head. She had always been a straightforward girl. When she first met Gu Ding, she had also told him to his face that Gu Ding weak, but at that time Gu Ding's strength was indeed not very good.
To many onlookers, things were starting to get interesting, given Zoe's notorious arrogance over the past month. His winning streak had even been blocked by more than 750 players, yet that didn't stop him from continuing, which only fueled his arrogance.
Elsa, during her seventy-game winning streak, had never uttered a word. Many had initially assumed she was a virtuous and well-mannered lady. However, her sudden outburst, stating that her opponents were too weak, clearly revealed her to be a madwoman.
This battle between two madmen has generated considerable anticipation. The War God Arena is a place that reveres strength; if you have the strength, you have the right to be arrogant.
The two on the stage were both exemplars of formidable strength. Elsa from the Gu Ding Team had achieved a seventy-game winning streak with instant kills, climbing to over 500 in the arena in just one day. She was undoubtedly among the strongest.
Zoe, on the other hand, had achieved a winning streak of thirty matches in the past month, including victories against two powerhouses above level 750. She soared from over 500 levels in the arena to over 600. Since emerging from that ruin, she had undergone a complete transformation. No one doubted that she had firmly entered the ranks of the strong.
Elsa's words, "You're too weak," completely irritated Zoe. Her month-long winning streak had led countless people to proclaim themselves geniuses, and this damned little girl dared to call them weak!
"Fine. Very well! I'll kill you with a single sword strike today, and show you just how ignorant you are!" Zoe laughed in fury, placing one hand on the Sword Sheath and flicking the hilt with her thumb. A sword's cry rang out, and the longsword, like a clear spring, gushed forth, hovering in mid-air.
Zoe then gripped the hilt of her sword with her left hand, the tip pointing directly at Elsa. The sword's energy extended slightly outwards, tearing through the air in countless tiny whirlwinds. Just then, she lightly touched the ground with her feet, her entire body flashing across the arena like a bolt of lightning.
Elsa remained motionless until the tip of the sword was about to touch her throat, at which point she suddenly dodged to the side, and almost simultaneously kicked the other man in the side.
Zoe's figure suddenly flew off at an angle, like a kite with a broken string.
"Your move relies on overwhelming your opponent with speed. But if your opponent is much faster than you, this move will have countless weaknesses," Elsa pointed out the flaw in her opponent's move.
This turn of events was completely unexpected by everyone. They had assumed Zoe had a better chance of winning because many people had seen her sword strike before and there was no way to counter it.
Zoe struggled to his feet, looking at Elsa in disbelief. He truly hadn't expected to lose, and to lose so utterly. The spot on his side where Elsa had kicked him was already cracking, and a strange shock suddenly erupted from within him, tearing open the external wound. Before he could say anything more, his body exploded into data fragments and vanished from the ring.
"Elsa from the Gu Ding Team is actually this powerful?!" Many people found it unbelievable.
Elsa was teleported out of the ring, while on the other side, Dokter's match had already begun.
His opponent was a woman. She had long, icy blue hair, snow-white skin, and a somewhat cold expression. Her white dress further enhanced her aura of purity and inviolability.
Dokter has always been a cautious person, and he knows that in terms of strength, he is currently the weakest member of the Gu Ding Team. Therefore, he doesn't want to hold everyone back, so he immediately checked the opponent's stats upon seeing them.
[Name: Lyle]
[Cultivation Level: Demigod]
[God of War Points: 5688]
Arena Tier: 569
[Number of battles: 117]
Win rate: 99%
This data is truly alarming, and even Dokter frowned upon seeing it.
"It's Lyle?! My goddess has actually appeared." Many people recognized the woman in the white dress immediately.
"This match is already decided. If Gu Ding Team were to face Bigge or Gu Ding himself, it might be a bit more interesting. But that Dokter, based on previous information, should be the weakest member of Gu Ding Team. Meeting Lyle is just bad luck for him." Some people even gave their predictions before the match even started.
"Lyle was incredibly strong. She started out with a 70-game winning streak, and that streak continued until the 79th game. She only lost in the 80th game when she encountered a challenge from a player above level 900. After that loss, she won another 40-plus games. In a total of over 110 games, she only lost once." Many people knew a lot about Lyle's past, and they all felt a sense of regret.
"Logia-type Devil Fruit users are already very strong, let alone Lyle's Water Element mutant physique with its powerful Ice Element abilities. She has no weaknesses in offense or defense; unless her opponent is significantly stronger, they simply won't be a match for her." In this match, almost no one in the audience outside the ring was watching Dokter.
On the arena, Lyle didn't immediately make a move. Instead, she said, "After your team appeared, the person I really wanted to challenge the most was your captain Gu Ding. But he hasn't shown up since yesterday's match, and he didn't win three consecutive matches. So I had to change my target. The reason I'm targeting you isn't because you're the weakest member of Gu Ding Team. It's because I've never encountered an opponent like you before. Fighting you will greatly benefit my combat skills."
"I don't know what it's like above the 1000th floor, but I'm pretty sure of one thing: Gu Ding, Bigge, and Elsa should be invincible below the 1000th floor." Dokter had a very high opinion of Gu Ding and the others. In fact, anyone who had seen Gu Ding and his companions slaughtering the insect beasts in the Oul Ruins would probably have the same thought.
"It seems you have a very high opinion of your captain." Lyle raised an eyebrow. She didn't believe what the other person said could come true, because she knew all too well just how strong those above the 900th floor were. The ones she had encountered before were only those below the 910th floor.
The other party didn't believe him, Dokter didn't intend to waste any more words explaining. "I will win this match because I can't hold everyone back before I get the pass to the Universe Sea. So, I'm sorry."
Dokter launched his first attack, knowing his opponent was strong. From his sleeve, a throwing knife was launched by telekinesis, aimed straight for his opponent's throat.
Seeing the trajectory of the throwing knife, a hint of appreciation flashed in Lyle's eyes. She waved her hand, and an ice wall instantly condensed in the air, blocking Dokter's throwing knife attack.
With a "ding," the throwing knife struck the ice wall, paused for only a moment, then tore through the ice wall's defenses, piercing through and directly penetrating Lyle's shoulder.
Everyone who saw this was stunned; even Lyle was completely unprepared.
Pulled by the psychic threads, the throwing knife that had already struck Lyle suddenly twisted into a U-shaped arc, piercing through Lyle cervical spine from behind before anyone could react, and exiting through her neck.
Moments later, Lyle's body completely disintegrated and she was teleported outside the arena.
The scene fell silent. All the spectators were stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing, yet it had actually happened before their eyes.
Even Dokter hadn't expected to win so easily. That last attack had pushed his psychic power to its limit. His soul strength was already extremely close to that of Low-rank God with seven-star Combat Strength, nearly a hundred times that of an ordinary Five-Star Low-rank God. The power of a psychic attack unleashed with such soul strength was naturally not to be underestimated.
Although Lyle lost due to carelessness, even if she were to unleash her full power, her defense wouldn't be enough to withstand Dokter's throwing knife attacks. The final outcome would still be the same, only Dokter would have a harder time winning.
Dokter, who won the match, was quickly teleported off the ring, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Many people only realized at this point that Gu Ding Team had only consisted of four people that day; Gu Ding, the captain, hadn't appeared at all. This left many wondering what Gu Ding had been up to. (To be continued...)
