A Hundred Wins-It Was Time
As the notification sound echoed above the arena, the massive Cosmic Universe Seal that had merged into one was gently lifted by an invisible hand, detaching from its state of being Frost Jade Crystal Mirror, and then transforming into nine independent illusory marks that entered Lin Yi's body one by one.
The pale white light that enveloped the arena slowly dissipated, and the energy fluctuations of the Frost Jade Crystal Mirror receded like the tide, returning to the sky above the center of the ring.
On the ring, Ekahos's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he said nothing, simply lowered his head, and turned to walk to the other side of the ring.
As he reached the edge of the ring, he couldn't help but glance back at Lin Yi, then took a deep breath and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the players' tunnel.
Lin Yi didn't look at the loser; in his view, this victory was well-deserved.
Therefore, he simply turned around silently and walked towards the arena exit amidst the increasingly noisy background noise from the spectators.
"Did you see that?!"
In the middle section of the spectator stands, the tall, thin cultivator who had excitedly stood up earlier suddenly slapped his companion on the shoulder, exclaiming, "What did I tell you?! The Welfare Bureau! Purely a Welfare Bureau!"
Beside him, the hoarse voice that had said "what if" earlier fell silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, "Damn it, it really is..." He shook his head, his tone tinged with regret, "I should have known better than to hesitate earlier. I missed out on 1.2, and now even 1.09 is gone."
"You didn't get to eat it, but I did!"
The tall, thin cultivator smugly opened his betting record, which prominently displayed a bet amount. "Although I entered at 1.09, I still made a small profit, hehe."
"You've smoothed things over, but I'm still at a loss," the rough voice said gruffly.
Although he also bet on Lin Yi, he hesitated for a few moments beforehand, resulting in the odds dropping to 1.09, limiting his potential profit to the limit.
He looked at the slowly updating pre-match information for Lin Yi's next match on the screen, his eyes burning with fervor.
"Next game, I'll definitely get my hands on the next one as soon as it's released!"
He slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of the chair. "This is the Nine Seal Cosmos Art, Nine Seals!!! With Lin Yi's strength, he'll be a complete stomp for at least the next few dozen matches. I'm putting it this way: he won't encounter a worthy opponent until he's on a 100-game winning streak!"
"Hey, Sixth Brother? Stop cultivating and log on! It's the Welfare Bureau! Yes, the Welfare Bureau for those at the True Source Realm Perfection! Go search for that guy named Lin Yi. It's okay if you missed the last one, the next one hasn't started yet! I even staked out my savings to remind you, isn't that kind of me? Okay, okay, you're treating tonight."
In a separate stand on the upper level of the spectator stands, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a magnificent robe was repeatedly urging the person opposite him through a communication talisman.
As soon as a few people stepped into the lowest level of the spectator stands, they heard the screen above their heads still replaying the exciting replay of the previous match.
Lin Yi's nine seals were recorded from multiple angles by the Sub-body of the Frost Jade Crystal Mirror. The light screens provided detailed annotations of the energy trajectory and specific seal structure released when the nine seals were combined. Each key movement was accompanied by slow motion, and the fluctuations of each energy node were clearly outlined with different colored light patterns.
Nine seals! There are actually nine seals?!
The elderly man at the head of the group stared at the replay on the screen, his eyes revealing extremely complex emotions.
He had also practiced this technique and dreamed of one day being able to unleash all nine seals simultaneously and become invincible among his peers.
But reality is cruel. He spent a lot of time and energy, but in the end he only managed to condense four Cosmic Universe Seal. After that, he could not make any further progress and had to switch to other cultivation methods.
Now, seeing someone practice this skill to perfection, a mix of shock, envy, and even a touch of bitterness welled up in his heart, leaving him speechless for a moment.
In one corner of the spectator stands, a group of bettors who had previously placed their bets on Ekahos were staring speechlessly at the arena.
The betting rules in the Ring Arena are very flexible. Betting can be done before the match starts, and once the match begins, until the very last moment before the winner is determined, spectators can continue to bet at any time as long as the Frost Jade Crystal Mirror has not given a result. The odds will also fluctuate continuously according to the real-time flow of betting amounts.
This Dynamic odds mechanism is precisely the greatest appeal of the Ring Arena.
It makes every match full of variables and strategic maneuvering, and seasoned practitioners with a keen sense of opportunity can glean a wealth of information from subtle changes in the odds curve.
Especially in the final moments before the fight begins and in the first few breaths of the fight, the fluctuations in odds during these two phases often reveal some unknown undercurrents.
For example, at what point in time did the backing of a certain opponent invest a certain amount of money? Is the performance of a player on a winning streak unusual today? Is the odds curve fluctuating less than usual for the same period? Or even, for example, do the handshakes between two seemingly equal competitors before they go on stage hint at something?
Some people specifically bet on a reversal when the odds are high.
In the previous match, when Ekahos made some tough remarks, his odds dropped slightly for a moment, while Lin Yi's odds rose slightly.
Therefore, the cultivators with a strong gambling instinct speculated that perhaps Ekahos really had some hidden trump card, and placed their bets on him.
This action caused a slight fluctuation in the odds.
This, in turn, attracted the attention of some practitioners.
When they see someone betting against them, they immediately think that they might not have deciphered the information hidden in the odds curve, so they follow suit, triggering another chain reaction of betting against them.
As a result, not long after they placed their bets, Lin Yi decisively won the game.
"Clown!!"
A short, sharp-looking bettor suddenly slammed his wine glass to the ground, scattering wine mixed with fragments of the screen that were jolted and bounced around.
He angrily waved his arms, his face contorted with rage from losing money, turning bright red. "You clown!! You spouted tough talk and got taken down in one move, what else could you be but a clown?"
But despite the criticism, and despite the loss...
This is, after all, Ring Arena where everyone has their own set of strategic logic. When they win, they feel like they've made a brilliant plan; when they lose, they feel like the whole arena is sabotaging them. But after all the complaining, life goes on, and the betting continues.
"Next game!"
After finishing his rant, the short, wiry man slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and stood up. "Next game, I'm betting everything on Lin Yi! Not just betting, but betting the full amount! If I bet on him a few more times, I'll eventually make back what I lost because of that clown!"
"That's right!" The tall, thin guy next to him also clenched his fist. "We have to go all out! With his Nine Seals Perfected strength right here, who in the last hundred wins streak can beat him?"
"That's right! Before the 100-win streak, it's all free wins; every second you're late means you'll earn less!"
at the same time.
The top-floor VIP box area of Ring Arena.
"Truly, nine seals."
Wen Xu sighed, "The news we received earlier said that Lin Baichang's cultivation speed in the Nine Seal Cosmos Art was also extremely fast, so we thought he must have already reached the eighth or even ninth seal perfection. Now it seems that it is indeed the ninth seal."
Maika, standing to the side, held a glass of Amber liquor. His gaze fell on the repeated playback of the Nine Seals Suppression scene on the screen. After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded.
"For an ordinary cultivator to reach the peak of the True Source Realm in less than three thousand Epoch is already considered an extraordinary talent. Lin Baichang even managed to master a top-tier cultivation technique along the way..." He paused, took a small sip of his wine, and continued, "Truly terrifying. Sixth Brother, I'm sure many forces will take notice of him in the upcoming competitions."
"I told you not to call me Sixth Brother..." Wen Xu muttered speechlessly, then agreed, "Indeed, Nine Seals, able to fight across ranks... it's hard not to attract attention."
They were all well aware of just how deep the waters were in this arena.
The Ring Arena has never been just a place for practitioners to hone their skills and compete.
It is true that it is the core industry of the He Family, but it is also a key focus of attention for various forces in Silent Giant City.
Every day, in every match, every suddenly emerging genius is immediately spotted by the spies planted by each family in the stands, and then compiled into detailed intelligence reports and sent back to their respective intelligence centers.
Analysis of strength, mentorship, background, personality traits, fighting style, and weaknesses; some intelligence reports even include several subjective evaluations described by informants themselves, such as "This person acts decisively and is cold-blooded; we can try to win him over," or "This person has a solid foundation but lacks combat experience; he seems to have been raised in a greenhouse."
Lin Yi's display of the perfect Nine Seals True Source Realm on the arena has undoubtedly caught the attention of spies from various major forces.
In fact, Wen Xu's guess was completely correct.
At this moment, throughout the Ring Arena, spies from different families and factions are relaying messages through their respective channels.
In an inconspicuous corner of the East District stands, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face quietly activated a dark rune inside his sleeve. The edge of the rune, which fit seamlessly against the inside of his wrist, flashed with an almost invisible dark light, and then, within a few breaths, transmitted a piece of information back to the family's intelligence center in the eastern wing of Silent Giant City.
On the west side of the stands, a slightly plump woman was smiling and discussing the betting situation of the match with her companion. The two slapped their thighs and laughed heartily, behaving no differently from other ordinary bettors.
But in the instant she flicked her wrist, she had already sent out a detailed intelligence report containing multi-angle video recordings.
Similar scenes were playing out simultaneously in various corners of the Ring Arena.
In another private room at the highest point of the arena, several high-ranking members of the He Family were sitting around a round table discussing the arena's revenue for the month.
A steward dressed in a black robe pushed open the door and walked quickly to one of the middle-aged men, leaning down to whisper a few words in his ear.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then whispered a few words to the manager, who responded and quickly turned to leave.
On the other side.
Lin Yi had already left the arena area. When his figure appeared at the end of the passageway, the staff member who was at the mid-stage of the True Source Realm quickly came to greet him, his face full of smiles.
Congratulations on your first victory!
He had clearly seen the scene of Lin Yi unleashing all nine seals on the arena just now.
Do you wish to continue to the next match?
"Continue."
"Okay, your matching request has been submitted."
The staff member quickly made a few moves on the screen in his hand, then smiled and said, "Matchmaking will be very fast when you're on a low winning streak. Why don't you go back to the lounge and rest for a bit? We'll let you know when you're matched."
"Alright."
The staff quickly stepped aside to make way, and Lin Yi walked back along the corridor to the lounge where he had come from. He then sat down in front of the chair against the wall and took out the competition talisman and held it in his palm.
The pale blue halo on the surface of the talisman is flashing slowly at a fixed frequency, indicating that the matching is in progress.
Lin Yi looked at the flickering light on the talisman, but his heart remained unmoved.
He has already reached the pinnacle of the True Source Realm.
After the nine seals were combined into one, his combat power was no longer sufficient to be measured by the label of "True Source Realm Perfection".
A moment later, the talisman in his hand suddenly lit up.
Lin Yi checked the odds and found that his odds were only 1.05.
1.005.
The number was lower than he had expected.
The odds system in the Ring Arena is never very friendly to winning streaks; the more dominant the winning streak, the lower the return on betting on them to win.
1.005 means that for every 10,000 Eternal Cosmos Crystal invested, you can earn 50 Eternal Cosmos Crystal if you win.
Fifty Eternal Cosmos Crystal.
Compared to the odds of 1.09 in the first match, it's less than a fraction of that.
However, Lin Yi quickly came to terms with it.
The arena is not a charity. When a player's skill level is significantly higher than that of their opponents at the same level, the odds will naturally be reduced to a point where it's almost impossible to make any money.
Even though the price is low, you should still buy it if you need to.
He bought another 50,000 Eternal Cosmos Crystal and won by himself.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the outer stands of the Ring Arena was completely different from that of his first match.
When Lin Yi's match information for the second duel appeared on the various viewing screens, almost the entire arena's attention was drawn to it.
Not only the veteran viewers of the True Source Realm matches, but also many high-level cultivators who originally only frequented the War Zone of the Eternal Source Realm matches turned their attention to the light screen.
1.005!
In the middle of the spectator stands, the tall, thin cultivator who had just made a fortune in the first bonus match slammed his hand on the armrest and stood up. "I've seen low win counts in matches below ten, but I've never seen this low!"
"So, are you still going to buy it or not?" his companion teased.
"Buy! Why not buy! Every little bit helps. I'll buy 100,000 worth first, at least I can earn some pocket money. If you're going to buy, hurry up, I reckon it'll only be 1.005, and it'll probably drop in price soon!"
He quickly swiped his hand across the betting terminal in front of him, and just as he finished confirming, when he looked up again, Lin Yi's odds on the screen had jumped up once more.
1.0047.
"Damn, that dropped way too fast."
On another stand, a True Source Realm cultivator clad in dark red armor sat among his companions, holding a jug of wine, drinking and reminiscing.
"What kind of nonsense is this? When I used to fight on stage, I felt incredibly strong if I got odds below 1.3. But Lin Yi, on the other hand, is offering 1.005, and he's still worried about not being able to bet on it."
"It's normal to not be able to get it," a female cultivator with a scar on her face said calmly. "Buy while you can, the odds for Lin Yi will probably be below 1.001 in the future."
The flow of people inside the casino was visibly shifting towards the War Zone for the True Source Realm matches.
Inside one of the private rooms sat several veteran cultivators at the mid-stage of the Eternal Source Realm.
"Nine Seals Perfected, the cultivation technique personally created by the Emperor. Invincible below the Eternal Source Realm. It's been many years since I've seen a new face who has mastered the Nine Seal Cosmos Art to perfection. It's said that he's a guest of the Wen Family."
"I just had someone check around, and they said they came from Mist Sea City, and they're wearing the rank of centurion in the Imperial Army."
"Tsk, the Imperial Army is indeed still the number one power."
"Look, Lin Yi is coming!"
The moment Lin Yi stepped into the arena, the atmosphere of the entire Ring Arena was invigorated.
On the huge virtual screen above the arena, the odds were dropping at an extremely rapid pace—1.0041.
The fluctuations of 1.0038 and 1.0031 each signified a large influx of funds into Lin Yi's winning pool.
When Lin Yi stood in the center of the arena, he looked up at the light screen above his head.
1.0029.
Lin Yi shook his head speechlessly, then looked away and gazed at the other side.
His opponent, Ryan Varian, was also a True Source Realm Perfection cultivator, nearly two heads taller than him, with extremely broad shoulders and arms as thick as two stone pillars.
But unlike Ekahos's calm yet provocative demeanor in the previous match, Ryan appeared very cautious from the moment he stepped into the ring.
Soon, the countdown reached zero.
"Start!"
The moment the notification sound echoed through the arena, Lin Yi moved.
This time, he didn't use the Nine Seals to suppress it, but instead used a different method of attack.
He slightly raised his right arm, his five fingers outstretched in the air in front of him, and nine Cosmic Universe Seal in his Soul Origin lit up simultaneously.
The Gold Seal was the first to burst forth, followed by the four seals of wood, water, fire, and earth, which layered around the body, their five-colored light spreading outwards like an inverted rainbow waterfall.
Then come the seals of life and death, followed by the seals of time and space.
The light from the nine Cosmic Universe Seal intertwined behind him to form a huge, perfectly round disc.
Without pausing, the nine seals merged instantly under the control of his divine sense, transforming into a thin arc of energy light, as fine as a hair, yet so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
The moment the arc of light detached from his palm, the entire arena dimmed for a split second, as if all the light had been absorbed by that tiny arc of light and then burst forth in an even more violent manner.
Renn's pupils contracted sharply.
That was a stronger strike than the one against Ekahos earlier. It lacked the overwhelming, suffocating feeling of the Nine Seals Suppression, but it was more refined, more precise, and more impossible to dodge.
He only felt a flash of light in front of him, and then he found himself enveloped in the pale white protective light of the Frost Jade Crystal Mirror.
Above the arena, the virtual screen once again displayed the words: "Lin Yi, victorious!"
In the second match, Lin Yi still only used one move from beginning to end.
He withdrew his right hand, and the nine illusory seals transformed into nine streams of light that entered his body. Then he nodded slightly to his opponent, who was still somewhat stunned not far away, and turned around, walking towards the exit of the arena amidst the increasingly boisterous cheers from the stands.
As soon as Lin Yi entered the passageway, he noticed two people standing in the very center of the passageway.
One of them was the staff member who had just registered him for the competition.
The other was a middle-aged man he had never seen before.
The man was wearing a long black robe with no decorations except for the He Family crest of a long sword with a ring embroidered on the collar.
Lin Yi couldn't see through his cultivation level.
Lin Yi knew that this was a Eternal Source Realm.
Upon seeing Lin Yi emerge from around the corner of the passageway, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, smiling, and said, "I am He Hongcan, the person in charge of the True Source Realm competition for the He Family."
"I heard that a distinguished guest from the Wen Family family has come to register for a duel here. As the manager, I naturally cannot be impolite. Please forgive us for any shortcomings in our hospitality since your arrival."
Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly.
The other party spoke casually, but how could he not understand the deeper meaning behind it?
The He Family must have started an investigation into him immediately after his first match.
However, Lin Yi was not averse to this.
As the operators of the Ring Arena, it was perfectly normal and prudent for the He Family to conduct a basic information check on the contestant who suddenly appeared on the stage at the Nine-Seal Perfected True Source Realm.
Since the other party brought it up so openly, it actually made them seem more frank.
His purpose in coming here was to let all forces know of Lin Yi's existence, paving the way for his future travels through the Silent Cosmos Domain as a member of the Constant Guard.
Since the He Family is a "rule-abiding" force in the Silent Left Giant City, it wouldn't be a bad idea to forge a good relationship with them.
"Manager He, you're too kind." Lin Yi smiled slightly and said frankly, "I'm just here to practice and broaden my horizons."
He Hongcan laughed heartily upon hearing this, stroking his goatee. "You're too modest. My He Family has been running this Ring Arena for so many years, and countless cultivators at the True Source Realm have come and gone, with countless individuals emerging victorious. But to have mastered the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> seems like a distant memory."
His tone softened slightly as he continued, "Our He Family runs this arena, and we welcome talented prodigies like yourself. However, with your ability to unleash all nine seals, ordinary True Source Realm cultivators pose no challenge to you... Therefore, I've had them upgrade your rest room to a 100-win-level rest room."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Manager He, you're very kind."
He Hongcan then chatted casually for a few more minutes before turning to the staff member and instructing, "You will be in charge of all subsequent logistical matters. Make sure everything is handled perfectly."
The staff member immediately bowed and agreed.
He Hongcan then turned back to Lin Yi, bowed slightly, and then slowly walked away along the other side of the passageway.
In the passageway, Lin Yi stood still, watching He Hongcan's figure disappear at the end of the passageway.
I thought he was going to try and persuade me to join the deathmatch.
He muttered something to himself.
Before coming to the arena, he had already heard from Wen Xu and Maika about the He Family's usual tactic of encouraging fighters with consecutive wins to switch to deathmatches. He even rehearsed a few lines of refusal in his mind.
As a result, from the moment He Hongcan appeared until he left, he didn't mention the fight to the death at all. Instead, he was as gentle as an old neighbor who had come to offer his concern.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yi roughly understood the reason.
The He Family dared not take that risk.
In He Hongcan's eyes, the fact that the sixth young master, the fourth young lady of the Wen Family, and even Maika accompanied Lin Yi to the arena and collectively bet on his match was a very obvious signal.
Clearly, the relationship between Lin Yi and the Wen Family is not as simple as that of ordinary guests.
Behind the Wen Family is Wen Xiao.
What if something really happens? How am I supposed to explain this to Wen Xiao?
Once Lin Yi understood this, he didn't bother to think about it anymore.
He turned to the staff member beside him who was still somewhat dazed, and smiled, "Please show me the way."
"Yes, yes, the Yum! lounge is this way!" The staff member's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took a few steps forward, stepping aside to say, "It's not far from here, I'll take you there right away!"
Lin Yi said no more and followed the staff member along the corridor toward the Yum! Lounge.
The difference between Yum! Lounge and regular lounges was even greater than Lin Yi had anticipated.
If a regular lounge is like a simple and comfortable single room for quiet contemplation, then the Yum! Lounge is like a small, independent training courtyard.
The staff led Lin Yi to the entrance and gently affixed their authority seal to the identification area on the side of the door. The heavy door, cast entirely from dark gold crystal, slid open silently to both sides.
Lin Yi looked around the room and was very satisfied with the layout.
He walked to the light blue cultivation platform in the center, sat down cross-legged, took out the competition talisman, and examined it. The light blue halo on the talisman's surface was slowly flashing, and a line of small text appeared next to it. "Matching in progress." At the same time, he also saw the change in his winning streak.
Winning streak: 2 games.
A moment later, the rune flashed, and a new match notification popped up.
Lin Yi glanced down.
Opponent: Hikzar Fenyuan. Winning streak: 3 matches. Estimated start time: Shortly. Odds:
1.0033:1.8967"
Lin Yi glanced at the odds, but this time he didn't even flinch.
However, he noticed that the betting limit had increased from 100,000 to 500,000.
However, this has little to do with him.
He casually bought another 50,000 Eternal Cosmos Crystal to win for himself, then put away the talisman, got up and walked towards the door of the lounge.
The following matches followed almost the same procedure.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi had already fought more than ten matches.
Every battle follows a similar pattern: step onto the stage, the countdown resets to zero, unleash the Nine Seals, and finish off the opponent.
As Lin Yi stepped off the stage for the last time, he stood in the passageway and glanced down at the prominent number on the competition token.
Winning streak: 17 games.
By this point in the game, the matching speed had already slowed down significantly.
Lin Yi didn't want to waste any more time here, so after the seventeenth match, he said "Let's continue matching" and then planned to leave.
When the staff led him to the inner plaza of the Ring Arena, Wen Xu and his companions were already waiting there.
The inner plaza is a specially designated area for VIPs in the private rooms to leave directly. Several floating shuttles of different sizes are moored at the edge of the plaza. Some of them are clearly custom-made, with the emblems of the well-known families of Silent Giant City engraved on their hulls.
Wen Xu stood beside his deep blue crystal cluster airship, and when he saw Lin Yi in the distance, he smiled and came to greet him, followed by Maika and Wen Qianqing.
"I made a small profit today thanks to Lin Baichang's East Wind."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and nodded, then stepped aside to let him pass. "Let's go, let's get on the boat first and then talk."
The group boarded Wen Xu's levitation shuttle, and the dark blue hull turned slightly, quickly leaving the huge circular building behind.
"Lin Baichang," Wen Xu said with a broad smile inside the floating shuttle, "At your current pace, you won't encounter any decent opponents for at least the next few dozen matches. Those old hands who have been hanging around the Ring Arena for years are probably already calling their friends to come and support you."
Lin Yi habitually replied modestly, "Sixth Young Master Wen, you flatter me. It was merely due to the advantage of my cultivation technique. Without the Nine Seal Cosmos Art, I wouldn't have been able to win so easily."
"That's not how it works," Maika interjected. "The technique is indeed a top-tier combat method created by the Emperor, but mastering it is your skill. How many Universal Epoch have been allocated to the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> in the Imperial Army Merit Exchange System? Countless True Source Realm can exchange for this technique, but how many can actually master all nine seals?"
Lin Yi didn't delve deeper into the topic, but simply smiled and said, "If everyone is interested, I'll let you know in advance when there's a competition next time."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xu's smile widened even further.
After flying smoothly for a while in the airspace above the Silent Giant City, the air shuttle slowly landed on the docking platform of the Wen Family's main crystal cluster.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone went their separate ways.
When we returned to the East Garden Annex, the simulated natural light in the courtyard had dimmed to its darkest level, leaving only the serene halo cast by the pale blue bead atop the artificial hill, enveloping the water plants and silvery-white fish in a thin veil of soft light.
Lin Yi walked through the courtyard and went directly down to the training room on the first basement floor. He then sat cross-legged on the light blue training platform in the center, letting the scenes of the battles that day replay in his mind countless times.
He was summarizing.
I will summarize the subtle differences in the use of the Nine Seals in each of today's matches, summarize the reaction patterns of different opponents when facing the suppression of the Nine Seals, and summarize my own sense of proportion in the timing of my attacks and the switching of seal techniques.
Although the combined power of the Nine Seals is overwhelming for opponents of the same level, these opponents have different backgrounds, techniques, and fighting styles, and therefore their approaches to dealing with the Nine Seals also vary.
These subtle differences may be insignificant in battles at the True Source Realm level, but they will be extremely valuable accumulations when facing veteran Eternal Source Realm Eternal Source Realm cultivation in the future.
The days that followed were extremely regular.
Lin Yi spent most of his time in the cultivation room of the East Garden Annex.
In his spare time, he would review the combat experience he gained in the Ring Arena, and verify the insights he accumulated from fighting against cultivators of the same level with his understanding of the Chaos Law.
Although his comprehension of the Chaos Law is still slow, each battle with a different cultivator brings him a subtle but profound understanding of Chaos Law.
Whenever a match is successfully matched, Wen Xu and Maika will be there.
After the winning streak, the matchmaking speed slowed down significantly, and the arena had to spend more time matching players with similar win counts to Lin Yi.
But for Lin Yi, the outcome made no fundamental difference.
It's not entirely true that there's no problem. With Lin Yi's consistent performance, the veterans in the Ring Arena have completely turned Lin Yi's matches into a regular investment product, and every time Lin Yi plays, a very stable wave of follow-up betting occurs.
Although there is a limit to the number of bets placed per person, its stability is undeniable.
Lin Yi finally achieved his 100th consecutive victory.
The Ring Arena had done a great deal of pre-match publicity, and the match was held on the largest main arena in the Ring Arena. The data of the two contestants and the prediction of their match were displayed on the screen, and the stands were packed.
But Lin Yi ended the battle in less than ten breaths.
Then came the 130-game winning streak, the 150-game winning streak...
As his winning streak continued, Lin Yi began to find it increasingly difficult to defeat his opponents with an instant, overwhelming style.
Those veteran powerhouses who also have a winning streak of over a hundred games either cultivated some extremely rare top-level technique, possessed some powerful bloodline secret technique, or had undergone countless trials on the brink of life and death. In short, they are all beings who can hold their own against those in the Eternal Source Realm, and none of them are easy to deal with.
But that's about it; it's just a matter of using a few more tricks.
And so, Lin Yi achieved a winning streak of 195 games.
The opponent Lin Yi was matched with in the Ring Arena was a prodigy who was equally renowned in the Silent Left Giant City.
A direct descendant of the Constant Source Realm family cultivates a technique created by a Path Source Realm expert, called "Burning Abyss True Canon." When he unleashes his full power, he can briefly contend with the Eternal Source Realm.
However, they were still no match for him.
After the battle ended, the defeated scion of a noble family stared at Lin Yi and said unwillingly, "It wasn't that I lost to you, it was that I lost to the Nine Seal Cosmos Art!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the spectator stands.
Many people were whispering, some were shaking their heads and scoffing, and occasionally you could hear someone saying things like "can't accept defeat."
Lin Yi withdrew the Cosmic Universe Seal runes around him that had not yet completely subsided, looked at his opponent who had spoken out of anger, and then smiled.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with this overgrown child who had grown up in a greenhouse, so he simply turned and walked silently toward the exit of the arena.
In his eyes, losing is losing, and winning is winning. Talking about cultivation techniques is just an excuse for being stubborn even after death.
If you're so capable, go and learn the Nine Seals yourself; Lin Yi will never stop you.
For the next period of time, Lin Yi's cultivation level remained stuck at the peak of the True Source Realm, but his combat experience and his use of the Nine Seals became increasingly adept.
His comprehension of the Chaos Law continued to progress slowly, but his mindset was already quite stable. In any case, with those gifts as a safety net, breaking through to the Eternal Source Realm before the Constant Guard assessment shouldn't be a problem.
In the competition, he wins every match. Although the matchmaking is getting slower and slower, as long as there is a match, his winning streak will continue steadily.
Nearly three hundred Epoch passed quietly in this regular life.
Lin Yi has won 272 consecutive games.
His opponent in this match was on par with the previous Fen Yuan prodigy, which was a bit tricky, but he still decisively secured his 272nd consecutive victory.
After the match, he returned to the locker room and checked the amount in his account.
The accumulated appearance fees over three hundred Epoch, the extra appearance fees for consecutive wins, the money won from betting, the bonus for a hundred consecutive wins, plus the original funds, have all unknowingly reached 500,000 Eternal Judgment Crystal.
To be honest, before the match, Lin Yi himself never thought he could win so many games so smoothly.
It has to be said, the Emperor is truly amazing, and the Nine Seal Cosmos Art is incredibly powerful; his training was definitely worthwhile.
Now, he not only doesn't need to use his military merits, but he also doesn't need to sell the gifts he received. He can earn enough money to buy True Source Soul Crystal on his own.
"It's time."
Lin Yi thought to himself.
