Elsa Overwhelms Her Opponent
[Second update delivered, third update won't be until midnight, so please don't wait...]
To be honest, Liliath's victory was something neither Gu Ding the others had anticipated. Their opponent was simply too strong, practically on par with Gu Ding.
But Liliath controlled the battle from the very beginning. Even though her opponent interrupted the battle twice with transformation and God Descent Art, she still managed to maintain control until the end and won the match.
When she returned to Gu Ding's camp, Gu Ding and the others gave her a thumbs up.
"Wow, that Karrot is really strong." Elsa rarely praised someone like this. In the Gu Ding Team, the only person she had ever praised like this Bigge. Even Gu Ding had never received such praise.
"Without that four-star soul artifact amplifying the power of the Purgatory Fire, I would definitely have lost," Elsa said frankly. "I originally thought that someone with such a powerful physical body wouldn't have a very strong soul. But when I attacked his soul with the Purgatory Fire, I discovered that his soul strength was also very strong, almost comparable to that of One-Star Mid-rank God. If I had encountered him in the Oul Ruins, my Purgatory Fire would at most have only been able to damage him, not kill him."
"Karrot is indeed very strong. If I were to encounter an opponent like him, it would likely be a prolonged melee. In that case, he would definitely have a chance to transform, or even use God Descent Art. In that situation, I might not be able to win." Gu Ding also analyzed what would happen if he encountered an opponent like Karrot, but the outcome was unknown.
"Captain, now that you've grasped the Martial Dao Intent, your chances of winning are quite high. My usual strategy against this type of opponent is to finish them off immediately, giving them no chance to transform, and even less chance to complete that God Descent Art," Bigge offered his strategy. His strategy was indeed the most effective, and he had the ability to execute it. After all, after his first transformation, Karrot's strength was only that of One-Star Mid-rank God; for Bigge, a single strike was enough to kill him.
"This match is making my hands itch. I'm going up on stage. Bigge, you're still the last one." Elsa looked eager to try, and before Bigge could respond, she brought up the War Page and pressed the challenge button.
A moment later, she was teleported to the arena.
Name: Elsa
[Gene Level: Tier 13]
[God of War Points: 5098]
Arena Tier: 510
[Number of battles: 79]
Win rate: 100%
The moment she stepped onto the stage, her powerful aura was as domineering as a mighty demonic beast, instantly suppressing the entire arena. Back in the Oul Ruins, her strength had already reached the level of Mid-rank God. After these days of accumulation, even without much deliberate cultivation, her strength had still increased. Now, both her physical body and soul strength had surpassed the level of Two-Star Mid-rank God.
Her aura is powerful; it can be felt even through a video.
A powerful figure above the 1000th floor, after seeing her on stage in the video, couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this little girl really human? Her genetic level is only thirteenth rank. Yet her aura is so terrifyingly powerful."
Those watching the battle felt it even more intensely. The powerful ones could naturally recognize that Elsa's aura was at the level of Mid-rank God. As for those who were not strong enough, they all felt the immense pressure emanating from Elsa, like a mountain, and through this feeling, they could vaguely sense how terrifying Elsa was.
Elsa is different from Liliath and Dokter who appeared before her; she's the type who exudes strength the moment she steps onto the field. In layman's terms, she's the kind of powerful figure whose aura is overwhelming.
Many people also want to know: What kind of opponent will the system assign Elsa?
When Liliath was initially assigned to Karrot, many people had doubts. However, they eventually put aside their doubts and were surprised that the system had made such an assignment. Therefore, now that Elsa has taken the stage, many are filled with anticipation.
Soon, another figure appeared on the arena.
Among the onlookers, someone recognized the man immediately and exclaimed, "It's the Red Crystal Devil Chrisdo!"
At this moment, Elsa was also carefully observing the other party.
He was a tall, slender man, but his skin was strange, completely unlike human flesh and blood; it was more like a crystal, and its color was reddish. Under the light, it even reflected light faintly.
Elsa also noticed his data.
[Name: Christoph]
[Cultivation Level: Demigod]
[God of War Points: 9987]
Arena Tier: 999
Number of battles: 1867
Win rate: 99%
Title: Never Defeated
That title also piqued the curiosity of Gu Ding and the others. "What does the title mean?"
"It can only be obtained by meeting certain conditions in the War God Arena," Sea Emperor explained. "The title of Never Defeated can only be obtained by not losing a single match in 1000 consecutive games. Moreover, if you lose even one match after that, the title will be stripped. Liliath and the others currently have a title— Eighty Consecutive Wins. You can check it out."
Liliath also checked her own information and, sure enough, a new title, "Eighty Consecutive Wins Streak," had appeared under her win rate.
"This Christoph was originally a pure human. But when he entered the Demigod Realm, he didn't choose to directly convert into energy. Instead, he chose to absorb the Red Crystal Giant Devil's Magic Core he obtained from a ruin, completely transforming his body's energy into the Red Crystal Giant Demon's energy, turning himself into a half-human, half- Red Crystal Giant Demon monster, hence the name Crimson Crystal Demon. However, this transformation also granted him the astonishing defensive power of the Red Crystal Giant Demon. This is why he has never lost in so many matches. Below the 1000th floor, no one can break through his defenses, so the worst outcome for him is a draw." The Sea Emperor immediately retrieved the opponent's information.
"How strong is his defense?" Gu Ding couldn't help but ask.
"At least above Three-Star Mid-rank God, so Elsa has indeed encountered a rather troublesome opponent this time. Although the opponent's attack power cannot cause any damage to Elsa, their defense is quite formidable. Apart from Bigge, the rest of you will have some trouble dealing with them." Sea Emperor also felt that this opponent was rather difficult to deal with.
"It is indeed a bit troublesome," Gu Ding nodded. If he had encountered such an opponent before entering the Oul Ruins, he might have been at a loss.
On the arena, Christoph spoke first. "Your team has been getting a lot of exposure lately. I heard you're Viking Clan and have incredible physical strength. I'm also very confident in my own physical abilities, so let's have a contest to see who has the stronger physique."
"How do you want to compete?" Elsa, who was never one to admit defeat, became interested in hearing this.
"It's simple, no weapons needed, just fists and feet." A cunning glint flashed in Christoph's eyes.
The onlookers heard this, and many secretly cursed Christoph being shameless.
"Sure!" To everyone's surprise, Elsa agreed immediately, without hesitation.
Some people who didn't like the Gu Ding Team felt that Elsa shouldn't have agreed to their proposal. They reasoned that the other party was from the 999th floor, and their strength was certainly not weak. Even if they didn't know the other party's background, they shouldn't have easily agreed to a request that benefited them.
The battle began quickly. Christoph grinned maliciously and charged towards Elsa. Relying on his physical strength, he was much faster than half of the demigods, appearing in front of Elsa in the blink of an eye.
But before he could even make a move, Elsa stepped forward, closing in on him and delivering a punch to his chest. The impact sent Christoph flying like a cannonball, crashing into the arena's protective shield. The shield, strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from Mid-rank God, trembled violently, nearly shattering.
While Christoph's speed might seem fast to many, it was, to Elsa, practically as slow as a snail. It's important to understand that Elsa's physical body and soul strength had reached the level of Two-Star Mid-rank God. In fact, aside from her cultivation level, she was practically indistinguishable from Two-Star Mid-rank God. She possessed the speed of a mid- Mid-rank God. Christoph Christoph, whose speed relied solely on his physical strength, Christopher's soul strength remained at the Demigod Realm, limiting his consciousness's processing speed. Therefore, his speed was completely incomparable to Elsa's.
After landing a successful blow, Elsa had no intention of letting her opponent go. She flashed in front of her opponent and unleashed a barrage of heavy punches, giving her opponent no chance to catch her breath.
Christoph was somewhat frustrated. He hadn't expected to be completely overwhelmed from the start, even though he hadn't suffered any real damage. The opponent's attack speed was simply too terrifying; he had no way to react defensively, let alone find an opportunity to counterattack.
The onlookers stared in disbelief at the scene before them. They hadn't expected that Christoph would be completely powerless against her, being relentlessly beaten like a human punching bag. Christoph was, after all, a powerful figure from the 999th floor, and while he had a fair number of draws, his win rate was still over 99%. For such a powerful figure to be utterly defeated by Elsa was something no one had anticipated.
"Elsa is so strong!" Liliath couldn't help but exclaim.
"That guy named Christoph, though powerless to resist, doesn't seem to be seriously injured," Gu Ding pointed out the key issue. To win, simply having an advantage isn't enough; in the final moments of a winning streak, you must kill your opponent to secure victory. On the ring, Christoph, despite being constantly attacked, showed no signs of weakening.

This Mid-Autumn Festival became my "day of financial ruin." After the landlord came over this afternoon to fix the wiring, the first thing he said to me was, "I'm just passing by today, can you settle your rent from last month?" Damn, I shouldn't have called him. Even worse, today is not only the rent payment due date, but also the final credit card payment due date. Looking at the only two hundred-yuan bills left in my wallet, I'm incredibly unhappy... (To be continued...)
