I remember during the last battle, he seemed to have a slow and lazy personality.
The God of Giants Kampas didn't think much of it and pressed his handprint. One million energy crystals were nothing to him; he'd just treat it as a game.
"What if neither of them becomes number one?" the God of Giants Kampas asked, looking at the Undying Body was holding the contract and laughing incessantly.
"Then even if our bet is void, neither of us has to lose money."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Leo, completely unaware that he had been used as a wager in the game, was still slowly walking in the shadows, searching for other opponents.
Whether it was because the world was too big or the contestants were too good at hiding, Leo didn't encounter a single person.
He had been suppressing the urge to take action for a year, yet he couldn't find a single opponent.
That makes sense when you think about it. Even if it's just a miniature world, throwing in over 40,000 gladiators is like throwing in only 40,000 fish in an ocean. It's really difficult for them to meet.
If you're unlucky, it wouldn't be surprising if you didn't encounter it for decades!
Just as Leo was struggling to find an opponent, a voice suddenly came from the sky. The cold voice belonged to the host of this gladiatorial match Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard.
"Based on the performance in the competition, two additional rules are now being added temporarily,"
"The first rule is: the competition venue will be reduced by 50% every ten days. When the competition area is reduced, contestants who do not enter the competition venue will be automatically eliminated. The change of competition venue will be announced on the fifth day."
The second rule states that each contestant must eliminate at least one person every ten days, otherwise they will be directly eliminated.
"Is it because some players are all playing defensively that the Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard are using this method to force you to take action?" Yaoyao said with a smile after hearing the two rules.
Leo nodded. Given their abilities, if they were truly determined to hide, they would be almost impossible to detect.
If everyone did this, there would be no point in holding the competition, because there would be no end in sight.
Now, in addition to time limits on the number of eliminations, the competition area will also be reduced, which will greatly shorten the competition time.
He likes it!
Leo looked up at the sky. After he finished reciting the two rules with the Sword of Nirvana, he seemed to notice that something had changed in the world.
He couldn't see the change clearly; he only sensed it intuitively, but he didn't know what the change was.
It's like someone with severe myopia trying to see the scenery through frosted glass—they can't see anything clearly no matter how hard they try.
The improvement in strength only made Leo feel the change, but because his strength was too low, he didn't know what the change was.
"Has something changed?" Leo murmured, puzzled.
"Never mind any changes for now, the important thing is to find an opponent to eliminate first. If you don't meet anyone to be eliminated in ten days, you'll be really wronged," Yaoyao urged Leo.
Leo stepped out of the shadows, slightly releasing the concealment ability of the Godslaying Wizard Robe, allowing his aura to emanate a little.
If you can't find an opponent, then let your opponent come to you!
As expected, this approach worked. On the third day, Leo sensed energy fluctuations beneath his feet.
Although this opponent tried his best to hide himself, Leo still noticed a slight change.
Of course, this energy fluctuation is a sign that something is about to happen!
"Boom"
The moment Leo realized it, the ground beneath his feet seemed to suddenly erupt like a whale with its mouth wide open, devouring everything in its path, including Leo, and swallowing everything within a radius of several dozen meters around him.
This is certainly not a whale; whales cannot swim by treating the earth's crust as an ocean.
This is a Earth Lung Worm that lives underground and specializes in devouring large creatures on the surface.
The Earth Lung Worm is thick and long, like a giant python. Its hard head shell can better push through the soil layers, and its tough body can ignore the pressure of deep strata. Judging from its aura and body, this Earth Lung Worm is also a level three life form.
A short, ugly creature with a large head sat atop the Earth Lung Worm's head, its entire body hidden beneath the Earth Lung Worm's carapace. Its aura was almost perfectly integrated with the Earth Lung Worm's.
When he saw Leo being swallowed whole by his pet without any resistance, a smug smile spread across his face.
Being able to personally defeat a wizard, especially in front of so many World Lord and Stigmata Wizard, is enough to make him famous, even if he doesn't win first place!
He was originally a genius from a small world, who had achieved the greatest accomplishments in all time within his own world. He was the proudest being in the entire world, and even reached the level of being personally received by the gods, a truly glorious honor.
He thought he was the strongest, but he learned from the gods about the vastness of the universe and that somewhere in the universe, there lived a group of terrifying wizards, beings that even the gods themselves trembled over.
In his own world, he had no rivals; apart from the gods, he was the strongest. He originally thought that slaying gods was his only path in the future. Now, having learned about the universe and about more and more powerful beings, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to test himself and see if those beings, even those gods like him, were truly that strong.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity came so quickly. He was contacted by an unimaginable being who asked him if he wanted to compete with countless geniuses from across the universe.
No one could know how excited he was when he received the news. He couldn't wait to accept it; this was the perfect opportunity for him to make a name for himself in the universe.
He wants to show the entire universe who the real genius is!
Everything here was beyond his imagination—a world as a prize, and a world as a competition arena.
He felt like he had returned to the way he was when he first came out of the mountains and entered the big city; everything was new and exciting to him.
But the more this happens, the more it inspires his fighting spirit and his indomitable fighting spirit.
The surprise came so quickly; on the third day, his adorable Earth Lung Worm devoured a wizard—the kind of wizard his god had described as extremely terrifying.
I used to think wizards were incredibly powerful, but once swallowed by Earth Lung Worm, even the hardest Kara Metal would be corroded.
It turns out the powerful one wasn't the wizard, but rather his god was too weak, so much so that even such a creature was afraid of him!
But just as he was about to urge the Earth Lung Worm to continue burrowing underground to find its next opponent, the Earth Lung Worm was unable to burrow underground and instead kept rolling around on the surface.
No matter how he tried to urge it on, the Earth Lung Worm kept thrashing about, even emitting a whimpering sound of intense pain.
This was something that had never happened before; in his world, the Earth Lung Worm was virtually invincible!
Just as he was at a loss and had not yet found the cause of the Earth Lung Worm's pain, a pair of slender hands, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, easily tore open the Earth Lung Worm's Earth Lung Worm in the middle. The so-called tough skin was not much stronger than a layer of parchment.
As a large gash was torn open in the Earth Lung Worm's body, a figure slowly emerged—it was the wizard who had just been swallowed by the Earth Lung Worm!
There was no acid on his body. He was back in the same place as when he was swallowed, and his feet were even standing in the same spot!
With a large gash torn in its body, the Earth Lung Worm Earth Lung Worm on the ground in agony. But the pain only fueled its ferocity. It bent over, opened its mouth wide, revealing the sharp fangs that were usually hidden beneath its flesh, and charged at Leo, wanting to tear the wizard who had ripped its body apart.
"Boom"
Just as the Earth Lung Worm was about to approach the wizard, it was as if struck by an unimaginably violent attack. A terrifying sonic boom cloud appeared, and its slender, python-like body flew hundreds of meters away, smashing through countless trees.
When the Earth Lung Worm's body stopped moving, a groove a meter deep was visible on its scalp, as if it had been pierced by an iron rod.
The helmet, which was supposed to be unbreakable, was cracked with countless fissures, as if it would shatter completely at the slightest touch!
As for the genius from the small world, he was still trying to save his Earth Lung Worm when Leo's figure appeared behind him.
A large hand opened and placed it directly on the genius's head.
"Boom"
The Flash Thunderbolt and struck; before the genius could react, he vanished—he was eliminated.
It was far too weak; it couldn't even withstand a casual strike from Leo, and it could even be said that it couldn't keep up with Leo's movements!
"Hey, its owner's been eliminated, but this Earth Lung Worm is still around!"
Leo turned to leave, wanting to find his next opponent, but Yaoyao Leo called out to him, pointing to the Earth Lung Worm still rolling on the ground in the distance and exclaiming.
Leo looked back and saw that the Earth Lung Worm was still there, not disappearing along with its owner after being discarded.
"This is a great opportunity, we can't let it slip by!" Yaoyao shouted excitedly.
Leo appeared on the lower half of the Earth Lung Worm with a single step, and through the wound he had just torn open, he sliced it in two with a vertical palm. A flash of sword energy cleaved the seventy-meter-long Earth Lung Worm in two.
Ignoring the excruciating pain of the Earth Lung Worm, Leo threw the severed lower body into the Shadow Space.
Creatures that live underground possess incredibly strong vitality.
The Earth Lung Worm, now missing half its body, suddenly weakened, but its wounds healed rapidly.
If no one continues to kill him, he only needs a little time to fully heal his wounds and his lower body will grow back in no time.
