The Top 10,000
The next day
Above a magnificent Sky Arena, the Lord of the Elements unleashed a barrage of elemental attacks, forcing a group of Light Element Mecha below to scramble for cover.
Today is the second day of the selection competition. The system will select the top 10,000 in the Individual Competition and Team Competition.
Old Wang didn't know how other attribute Mecha were selected; he only knew that the Light Element Intelligence- type attack Mecha system had provided 10,000 arenas.
Player can then choose to defend a ring or attack it.
If you remain the champion before time runs out, you will automatically advance to the next round.
Each person has one choice opportunity and three attack opportunities. If someone chooses the same arena during the selection process, they will engage in a free-for-all to determine the champion.
In the arena, it's always a one-on-one challenge.
Old Wang naturally chose Arena 666, which is the Sky Arena beneath his feet.
But perhaps the number was too auspicious, because more than 300 people chose the same arena as him.
The rules for arena battles are the same as those for the Arena; all skills of Rare and above are on cooldown upon activation.
However, this doesn't affect Old Wang right now. He not only has a high Cooldown Reduction, but also a huge number of Fine-Grade skills.
The Molten Gold Shop never stopped buying skills, and he gradually acquired over a hundred skills from there.
Although there are no more Perfect skills, Old Wang feels that the Rare and Fine-Grade skills are more than enough.
What he lacks now are support skills and various functional skills, which he has already asked Chen Hong from the Molten Gold to help him find.
But I digress. Let's get back to the Sky Arena!
When Old Wang was teleported in, he was a little confused when he saw more than 300 people, but he quickly recovered.
It's a minor incident, don't panic!
However, others were basically in despair when they saw it, but human fighting spirit is limitless, especially since it's just a game, what's there to be afraid of?
During the countdown, people initially felt a sense of despair when they saw him, but then someone shouted, "They're all Rare Mecha, why are we afraid of him!" This ignited everyone's fighting spirit.
Once the countdown ended, the selection competition turned into a challenge where more than 300 people tried to defeat this boss.
It's important to know that Light Element Mecha are extremely difficult to deal with. They are effective against Dark Element mechs but not against any other attributes, and they even have a suppressive effect on other attributes.
In particular, most Light Element Mecha possess a very strong Control Skill: silence.
Old Wang's biggest fear is silence, so this battle is not very friendly to Old Wang.
Fortunately, their Mage Mech all needed time to cast spells, but Old Wang didn't. His burst of power dealt with the opponents around him, and he successfully took off.
Currently, the sky is Old Wang's domain. He has never seen anyone else who can rival him in the sky, nor on the ground...
After Old Wang took off, the scene at the beginning unfolded, with endless elemental attacks erupting from his hands, pressing down on the Mecha below so they couldn't lift their heads.
They had to dodge constantly, otherwise, if they were hit by Old Wang's skill, they would basically be killed instantly.
And there's more bad news for them: Old Wang's ultimate skill is about to cool down.
Skills like Photon Ray only have a cooldown time of a few tens of seconds. Once the cooldown is over, the people below will have an even harder time.
But just as his skills were about to improve, someone in the crowd suddenly said:
"It is my honor to be able to fight this hanged man with you all today, but he is too strong, so someone must make a sacrifice to restrain him."
I have a special skill, but I need to get twenty steps away from him. Once I get there, I'm 100% confident I can control him.
I hope everyone can cover me. I'm doomed after I use this skill, so I just hope you can take down this bastard.
"Brother! I'll cover you, don't worry about it!"
"Go with peace of mind, we'll make him pay with his life!"
For some reason, the emotions of everyone on the field suddenly became somewhat tragic, leaving Old Wang stunned.
"Brother, do you guys have to make such a big deal out of a game? Why are you acting like it's a matter of life and death?"
Just as Old Wang was complaining, the person who shouted at him rushed towards him, with four Mecha with barriers in front of him.
Old Wang, seeing these people, also felt a surge of amusement; he wanted to see just how far they could push him.
However, he didn't want the person to get too close, so with a slight raise of his hand, a bolt of lightning shot towards them.
But just as the lightning skill was unleashed, a Mecha in the distance flashed in front of the lightning, then embraced it and turned into charred remains.
Just before his elimination, he shouted "Go for it!" which made the atmosphere increasingly tragic.
If this were a movie, then Old Wang would be the ultimate villain, and the heroes who sacrificed themselves to fight him would be the ones to defeat him.
One hero falls, another rises in his place; their spirit deeply "moved" Old Wang, causing Old Wang to slightly increase the force of his strike.
You're insane!
However, because Old Wang intentionally let them win, and because they were indeed very "hard-working," he still managed to get within 20 steps of Old Wang.
"Come with me, Sealing Radiance!"
The man, piloting his gold and white Mecha, approached within twenty paces of Old Wang and roared.
Then, he vanished from the spot, his entire body radiating golden light, while two illusory golden Chain floated around Old Wang.
"Everyone, attack together! My friend's skill can seal all of the enemy's magic skills and double the damage they take from Light Element skills."
Now is the best time to kill him; if we don't act now, it will be too late!
Old Wang was checking his status when he heard the person shout. He realized it was true; what an amazing skill!
However, he remained calm and drew his Dragon-Rising Jian, looking at the remaining 30-odd Mecha that were charging towards him.
After stretching his wrists and neck, he rotated the round tube at the Block point of the Dragon-Rising Jian, turning it into a flamboyant, glowing crimson-gold color before charging towards them.
These special effects are just that—special effects. They have no other effect besides making you look cool.
Although Old Wang's magic skills were sealed, he still possessed a large number of physical skills.
He just didn't use these skills normally, and although he wasn't very proficient with them, they were more than enough to deal with them.
He moved like a tiger among sheep, weaving and dodging among the Mecha, who were utterly powerless against him.
"This doesn't make sense based on the script! We've already gone through so much tragedy, shouldn't his skills be sealed, and then we've finally managed to defeat him? How come this is..."
"Why does it still have melee physical attack capabilities? What kind of Mecha is this?"
"Damn, the damage to him was only a few dozen points to begin with, what's the point of doubling it?"
What is this?
Amidst groans and cries, Old Wang escorted everyone out of the Instance Dungeon one by one. The other spectators outside the factory, witnessing this scene, laughed so hard their back teeth bulged out.
These people are hilarious! Did they go to school to study comedy?
The comedy ended after Old Wang killed the last person; the system purified Old Wang's state, and the Chain on his body remained broken.
After killing these people, Old Wang didn't see any more challengers until he advanced to the next level.
Everyone tacitly avoided Arena 666, because they knew there was an invincible demon king inside.
Meanwhile, many people reported to the Game Company that Old Wang's Mecha should not have been classified as Light Element Mecha at all, as it was unfair that he occupied an attribute slot.
They demanded compensation from the Game Company, but the Game Company completely ignored them.
These whistleblowers could not possibly be the 10001st person whose spot was taken by Old Wang; they are simply after some personal gain.
After the Individual Competition ended, since the team selection competition was about to begin, Old Wang didn't go to kill a sheep.
He arrived at the base and helped Lin Qimeng and the others count the top 10,000 players in the guild's Individual Competition.
These are the elite seeds of their guild, and they must have a certain level of understanding of them.
It would be incredibly foolish to allow talent to be lost due to neglect, and such a Future would not last long.
"Our guild has so many ruthless people! Over a thousand of them made it into the top ten thousand in the Individual Competition!" Sister Hua exclaimed after everyone finished tallying the results.
"After all, we are the number one guild!" Lin Qimeng.
