The Final Match

In the past, I relied too heavily on my Innate Secret Technique, neglecting my combat techniques and using my domain in an incredibly crude manner. Coming to this Killing Field was the right choice; it's just a pity I didn't think of it sooner.

Previously, Sett only felt that as long as he could beat his opponent, that was enough, so he would start duels directly in the Duel Space.

Although he quickly reached a nine-star rating, he had overlooked the true wonders of the Killing Field.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Sett and his "self" clashed once again.

The sound of their fists colliding echoed throughout the Killing Space. Although Sett was on the back foot, he had already been trading blows for quite some time.

"Haha, so that's how a domain can be used!" Sett shouted aloud.

Sett restrained the majority of the power within his golden Domain of Metal and his Domain of Space, coordinating them with his fists to unleash them simultaneously, thereby achieving much greater punching power.

Rumble—Sett's fist, combined with his domains and the added force of Pummel, struck his "self" like a massive cannonball fired from a barrel.

"My current force exertion technique has reached 15 times! Die!" Sett roared.

As a Planetary Level nine, being able to reach a 15-fold force exertion technique was truly terrifying.

One must know that in the original story, Luo Feng spent 30 years cultivating in Chaos City and reached the Universe Level nine, yet his power amplification was only around 30 times, which meant his force exertion technique was also around 30 times.

Although there was a difference of half the power amplification, the gap in their actual strength was two major levels.

Furthermore, Sett had only been cultivating for three or four years; to reach this stage, one could say his comprehension was excellent.

Under the enhancement of Pummel, Sett's power amplification reached 30 times—truly terrifying.

"Die!" Sett bellowed, his fists raining down in an endless barrage until his "self" could no longer defend and was forced into a frantic retreat.

Finally, after a long duel, Sett killed his "self" with a single punch and secured the victory.

"Phew, finally won." Sett sighed. Two consecutive days of high-intensity dueling had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Even though this was the Virtual Universe, it still drained his spirit.

The reason Sett improved so rapidly was, firstly, the massive amount of experience gained from over two thousand duels, nearly a thousand of which were life-and-death battles.

On top of that, Sett finally understood how to utilize his domains, rather than just using them as a simple auxiliary tool like before.

Now, Sett used his domains as if they were weapons, which brought a massive boost to his strength.

Finally, by utilizing his Innate Secret Technique and his fists properly instead of just throwing them around randomly, his efficiency had skyrocketed.

"Phew, although I haven't grasped that sliver of law, my strength is much greater than it was two days ago. Becoming a Giant Axe Warrior, or even a Golden Giant Axe Warrior, is now as easy as reaching into my pocket." Sett exited the Virtual Universe, using the final day to properly adjust his mindset.

A life-and-death duel is decided in an instant; it requires not only strength but also confidence and the right mindset.

Strength is the foundation, the most important hard requirement.

Confidence is the enhancement to one's soft power; when you are confident, you can strike bravely and seize the initiative.

Those who lack confidence are exhausted by defense, their attacks become sluggish, and they are more prone to revealing openings.

Finally, one's mindset on the scene is also crucial; only with a good mindset can one unleash one hundred percent of their strength.

Today, the Giant Axe Arena on Julingsheng Planet was already packed, and ticket prices had been scalped to several times their original value.

Yet, tickets were still hard to come by, even though this venue could hold over ten million people.

Because today was the day a Golden Giant Axe Warrior would be born, and both combatants possessed extraordinary strength.

One of them had grasped a sliver of law, while the other possessed not only a Domain of Metal but also a Domain of Space.

With the enhancement of two major domains, plus the fact that he had achieved nine hundred and ninety-nine victories using only his fists, his strength could be imagined.

"I think both of these people have surpassed the strength of an ordinary Giant Axe Warrior, perhaps even reaching the level of a Golden Giant Axe Warrior."

"A Golden Giant Axe Warrior? I think there's still a gap."

"Yeah, becoming a Golden Giant Axe Warrior is too difficult. Only one in a thousand Giant Axe Warriors achieves that title."

"Mhm, it requires not just strength, but luck too. I heard the Giant Axe Arena puts a thousand Giant Axe Warriors together, and only the one who survives at the end earns the title of Golden Giant Axe Warrior."

With some time left before the match began and the duelists yet to appear, the audience members gathered in small groups, chatting and sharing their opinions with both friends and strangers alike.

The massive arena was bustling with excitement.

"Hey guys, who do you think is stronger, Juenian or The Boss?"

"I think Juenian is stronger. His sword is too fast; no opponent has lasted more than two strikes against him."

"Yeah, I also think Juenian is stronger. His Deadly Two Swords technique is just too powerful."

"That's right, and he has that sliver of law comprehension. Tsk tsk, to be able to grasp a law at the Planetary Level is truly impressive."

"Pfft, I think The Boss is stronger. This guy has superior force exertion techniques, dual domains, and that terrifying fist technique. Juenian is no match for The Boss; just wait until he gets beaten to death in two punches."

"Exactly, exactly! The Boss is my hero; that fist of his is beyond incredible."

"No matter how strong his fist is, can it be stronger than a sword?"

The audience was divided, some supporting Juenian and others supporting The Boss.

Both had high popularity, and their distinct combat styles were very captivating, naturally drawing the support and affection of the spectators.

"Look, it's starting! The Giant Axe Arena has opened the betting pools. Hurry up and place your bets; I'm betting on The Boss."

"I'm betting on The Boss too."

Now, let us welcome The Boss to the stage!

As the booming voice echoed throughout the entire arena, Sett, who had been waiting for a long time, walked quickly into the arena.

The massive holographic projection in the center of the arena was playing a promotional video for Sett.

"The Boss! The Boss!"

Following The Boss's entrance, the audience erupted into thunderous cheers. Regardless of whether they supported him or not, the atmosphere was certainly electric.

Sett smiled and waved to the crowd. He loved this feeling; having thousands of gazes focused on him didn't make him nervous at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed it immensely, as if he were born for dueling.

The promotional video lasted nearly ten minutes, featuring not only the highlights of Sett's previous duels but also an introduction to who he was.

As the promotional video ended, the booming voice rang out once again: "Next, let us welcome Juenian to the stage!"

"Juenian! Juenian!"

"Juenian, I love you!"

Juenian, with a lean build and a long sword strapped to his back, walked into the Duel Space with cold eyes and stood opposite Sett.

Likewise, the holographic projection in the center of the arena began introducing Juenian.

"Do the two of you have anything to say before the match?" After Juenian's introduction video finished, the loud voice asked.

"Thank you all for your support all this time. This time, I will not let everyone's expectations down; I will achieve victory and become a Giant Axe Warrior!" Sett said with a smile.

His voice naturally echoed throughout the arena, and the audience supporting Sett erupted into massive cheers, rooting for him.

The lean-bodied Juenian also spoke: "I am going to prove who the most powerful warrior here truly is!" His raspy voice sounded full of confidence.

And rightly so; his strength was formidable, so it was only natural for him to be confident.

In an instant, the tension on the stage became palpable. Both men were filled with soaring fighting spirit, waiting only for the command from the Giant Axe Arena to begin the battle.

"You're quite confident, not even drawing your weapon," Juenian said in his raspy voice.

"I've always been confident, but I've also never used weapons." Sett paused, raised his fist, and said, "To me, my fists are the most powerful weapons."

"Then you'd better be careful in a moment. My sword is very fast; don't let me accidentally slice your hands off," Juenian remarked.

Taunting the enemy was Juenian's tactic. Some opponents with poor mental fortitude would become anxious after a bit of pre-match taunting.

And once they became anxious, they would strike recklessly, revealing openings that allowed Juenian to finish them off with a single sword strike.

Although this tactic wasn't honorable, for the sake of victory, what did honor matter? Staying alive was the most honorable thing of all.

Of course, this level of taunting meant nothing to Sett. Furthermore, only the strength one truly possesses is what matters most.

"You should be careful too. My fists don't have eyes either. Don't let me punch you to death; that would be no fun at all," Sett retorted with his own taunt.

"Hmph!" Juenian let out a cold snort and said nothing more, waiting for the duel to begin.

Taunting was just taunting; after all, this wasn't a contest of who had the sharper tongue. Both men were only one match away from achieving the honor of becoming a Giant Axe Warrior.

Naturally, they were both extremely cautious, whether it was spending a significant amount of time studying their opponent before the match or trying to find openings while standing in the duel arena now.
