A Crazy Winning Streak in the Decisive Battle Space Draws Attention!
"Master, that Planetary Level kid you told me to watch sold some treasures at five different shops again today, including two Tier 3 Telekinetic Weapons. He's back at the hotel now."
At a castle estate in Qiu Long City.
A Kaluo Race slave who looked similar to an Earth Human, but stood nearly three meters tall and had a pair of blade arms, knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully to a handsome middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man tapped his knuckles lightly against the armrest of his chair. "Good. Keep watching him. The moment he shows any intention of leaving Qiu Long City, report to me through the Virtual Universe."
"This is an anonymous helmet. You know my Virtual Universe ID."
The Kaluo Race slave cradled the newly acquired anonymous Virtual Universe helmet, a flash of wild delight in his eyes. "As you command, Master!"
After the Kaluo Race slave left, a flash of greed crossed the handsome middle-aged man's face in the estate's spacious hall.
Where had a mere Planetary Level youngster gotten so many treasures?
He must have been lucky enough to obtain an expert's inheritance!
The treasures he had sold might even be only a small part of that inheritance.
Such a stroke of fortune should rightfully belong to me, Kun Ka!
If I kill that lucky Planetary Level kid and seize his fortune, then add it to what I've accumulated over all these years...
Perhaps I'll have a chance to break through to the Domain Lord Level before my hundred-thousand-year lifespan runs out and become a great existence like the master of Qiu Long Star.
"Heh, there's no hurry. Private fighting is forbidden in Qiu Long City. That's the rule set by that lord."
"That lucky kid can stay in the city forever if he has the nerve. As long as he dares to leave, it'll be my chance to strike!"
The silent hall gradually darkened, leaving only a pair of eyes glinting with an inscrutable light.
Similar scenes were playing out in many other places.
Li Jing, a mere Planetary Level youngster, had displayed enough wealth to make even Universe Level experts green with envy. It was no different from a child carrying gold through a crowded marketplace.
And he had no powerful protector at his side. The only things that gave anyone even slight pause were the two Crystal Flow Guards.
But before the enormous wealth he had revealed, what did a mere pair of Crystal Flow Guards amount to?
Meanwhile, Li Jing returned to the hotel and headed straight for the front desk.
"Extend my room for another month!"
"Certainly, sir!"
The receptionist was a girl from the Night Wing Race, a branch of the Winged Humans. She had a pretty face and a graceful figure.
As she operated the system to extend Li Jing's stay, she sighed inwardly.
Before long, she would probably hear that this guest had disappeared.
Many people had recently been watching the hotel, and the fact that their target was the young guest before her was no secret among the hotel staff.
Out of a professional duty to protect the guests' safety, she had once reported the matter to the manager, only to receive a pointed warning from him.
She knew that those who had set their sights on Li Jing were probably no ordinary Star Pirates, but prominent figures in Qiu Long City.
Afraid of bringing trouble down on herself, the Night Wing Race receptionist dared not interfere further. Still, she could not help feeling sympathetic again, and spoke with a hint of meaning. "Sir, your room extension is complete. The hotel welcomes you to stay as long as you like!"
"All right!"
Li Jing gave the Night Wing Race receptionist a slightly surprised look.
Given his current situation, what she meant could not have been clearer.
He had not expected anyone to show him this insignificant kindness at a time like this.
Shaking his head, Li Jing thought no more of it. His most pressing task now was to display his talent in the Virtual Universe.
Back in his room, Li Jing had the two Crystal Flow Guards and the Cloud-Touching Vine, which had already evolved to Star Level Nine, stand guard nearby.
He left only a sliver of consciousness in his body and logged into the Virtual Universe.
Inside a residence in the Blue Star Bay residential complex on the Ganwu Continent, Li Jing's figure appeared out of thin air.
The nationality he had registered earlier was not the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, but the Ganwu Universe Country.
Thus, he appeared in the Virtual Universe directly on the Ganwu Continent, rather than on Black Dragon Mountain Island like Luo Feng and the others.
Blue Star Bay was an average-priced residential complex on the Ganwu Continent. The first time Li Jing logged into the Virtual Universe, he had spent some money to buy a property there.
That way, he would not have to appear at random on the street every time he logged into the Virtual Universe.
"Xiao Ka, teleport me to the Killing Field's Decisive Battle Space," Li Jing said to a miniature capybara lying on his shoulder.
This was the Intelligent Life he had previously drawn, which possessed the same database as Babata.
Following his own preferences, he had ordered it to take the form of a capybara.
"As you command, Master!" Xiao Ka patted its round belly, looking adorably clumsy.
Li Jing was soon teleported to the Killing Field's Decisive Battle Space. The battle setting was configured as the cosmic void according to his preference, and he casually picked a codename for himself.
[Codename: Luck Emperor, Planetary Level Nine Spirit Reader/warrior, wins: 0, losses: 0, star rating: 0 stars]
"Xiao Ka, send challenges to opponents rated below three stars for me."
Li Jing knew that when Luo Feng and the others first used the Decisive Battle Space, they had rashly challenged high-star opponents and been ignored, so he targeted only opponents rated below three stars.
He planned to challenge the higher-star opponents once he had built up a winning streak. By then, the chances of being rejected would be much lower.
Once he had made a name for himself, those high-star opponents might even challenge him of their own accord.
His wins and star rating would then inevitably rise at a rapid pace, allowing him to draw the attention of those important figures.
The Virtual Universe's Killing Field had people specifically in charge of managing it. Whenever a genius appeared, they would immediately make contact and try to recruit them.
By then, Li Jing would have status and backing. Those on Qiu Long Star who had set their sights on him were Universe Level at most and would be powerless against him.
Even Qiu Long Star's true master, that mysterious Domain Lord, would have to treat him with courtesy.
"Master, 3,587 challenges have been sent. Only 121 have responded to your challenge, and all of them are one-star opponents. Should I continue sending challenges?"
"No!"
Li Jing shook his head. In the Duel Space, newcomers with a zero-star rating really had no rights.
He had deliberately chosen opponents rated below three stars, yet those who responded were still few and far between, and every one of them had a one-star rating.
Still, 121 people willing to accept his challenge were enough. Once he put together a winning streak, he would presumably be able to challenge those higher-star opponents.
"Kid, so you're the one calling yourself Luck Emperor? A newcomer who hasn't fought a single decisive battle dares call himself an emperor? Have a taste of Grandpa Blood Blade's saber!"
Soon, the first opponent to accept Li Jing's challenge appeared in the cosmic void of the battle setting.
He stood about three meters tall, with bulging muscles and a massive Blood-colored Battle Saber in his hand. Its tip pointed diagonally toward Li Jing, and his eyes were full of contempt.
He was among the strongest of the one-star fighters and would soon rise to a two-star rating. Few at his star level dared challenge him.
He had not expected a rookie with zero wins to come knocking, oblivious to the danger. The kid would make perfect fodder for his promotion to two stars.
"Too noisy."
Li Jing spoke indifferently and merely shot him a glare. Soul Seal, second level: Ten Hearts Realm, Ten Thousand Sword Soul Seal!
The burly man named Blood Blade felt his vision go black, and he was sent out of the Decisive Battle Space.
The burly man's face was pale after leaving the Decisive Battle Space. Although all damage there was virtual, the sensation of having his soul annihilated still left him shaken.
"Whose monstrous genius is this? Why was he only let out now?"
"He wiped him out with just a glare. How terrifying must his strength be?"
Meanwhile, Li Jing had no inclination to bother with this nameless bystander who had gone offline as soon as they met. He repeatedly glared at his opponents, annihilating their souls.
50 consecutive wins!
100 consecutive wins!
121 consecutive wins!
At that point, the terrifying winning streak prompted the Duel Space to automatically push his information to those high-star opponents.
"Luck Emperor, Planetary Level Nine, specializes in Soul Annihilation? I'll use you to test the secret technique I just learned!"
A young man with a deathly pale face and a bewitching appearance looked at the notification from the Decisive Battle Space and smiled wildly. "Honglian, challenge this Luck Emperor for me!"
"Yes, Master!"
