"Once again, let's welcome the two hundred and forty participants of the final ranking match with the warmest applause. In the near future, they will become students of some famous universities. Then, they will take part in the player's test and sacrifice their lives and hearts for the future of mankind!"
The host, Clown, used an exaggerated tone to make the opening remarks. Coupled with the solemn and stirring background music, Li Xiang felt as if he was willing to risk everything for the sake of mankind.
They would enjoy the most wonderful cheers and admiration, but at the same time, they would be faced with the same pressure and challenges in the future.
The opponents in the pillars of light stood solemnly. The best participants from the seven continents had gathered there. There were people of all races.
However, it was possible to tell their backgrounds from their appearances and statures.
The people from the Subcontinent, the Sea-Land, and the Frigid Continents had the characteristics of all races. They looked the most average. The Europeans had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a stunning appearance. Both men and women were the most eye-catching. The Southerners were located in the coldest places, so they were very concerned about keeping warm and protecting their skin. Most of the non-European Continents were black. They were generally tall and athletic. They were the group with the best physical fitness. The Northerners, under the rule of the King of Shield, had adopted a new training method. Men were considered to be strong and strong, while women were considered to be beautiful. It was a classic combination of "beauty and beast."
It was the first time that Li Xiang had seen so many people from other continents. The participants from other continents were also looking at each other curiously. After all, it was difficult to travel from one continent to another. Most people in the world lived their entire lives in their own cities or the numbered cities around them.
There was a faint sense of hostility between the Europeans and the Subcontinent.
The hostility started when the King of White banished the King of Dong Ling from the Subcontinent. As time passed and the King of Dong Ling's rule over the Continent became deeply rooted, the hostility became more and more difficult to resolve.
The Dong Ling family also strictly forbade their members from marrying people from the Subcontinent. It was an ironclad rule.
After Clown's earth-shattering "Begin", the two hundred and forty pillars of light shot into the sky, signaling the start of the final ranking match.
Li Xiang's Origin Substance clone would perfectly recreate his original body. Originally, he had been worried that the Calamity Heart in his body would be exposed. Only later did he realize that this was just a replication technique that wouldn't reveal their secrets.
In addition to the player's physical attributes, weapons and equipment would also be perfectly replicated.
After all, in the eyes of high-level Mage players, everything they had at this stage was nothing more than a child's toy.
The countless spatial gates in the sky lit up one by one. Li Xiang's right chest suddenly burned, and then a number appeared.
【36】
This was the official estimated ranking.
After countless numbers appeared, a giant hand condensed from gray clouds and airflow suddenly appeared in the deep space above the spatial gate.
That hand was like a part of a giant creature curled up at the end of the sky. With a gentle wave, it stirred up the clouds and the sky. Even the spectators below could feel the terrifying hurricane!
"I wonder which sorcerer is performing [God's Miracle]. It's so magnificent!"
A young girl's voice came from a pillar of light beside Li Xiang.
Mage players could only perform [God's Miracle] when they were above Level 5. At that time, they were like gods to normal people.
Li Xiang looked up. The closer he got, the more he could feel the pressure from the outside to the inside. It went straight to the depths of his soul.
After the giant hand waved, it collapsed, and the results of the draw were announced above each spatial gate.
The spatial gate that was chosen suddenly lit up. Two numbers appeared at the top, indicating the two contestants.
At the same time, in the spectator stands below, each seat was provided with a customizable screen. As long as they paid, they could choose to watch a certain match. It was the same for the other live streams.
If they didn't choose, it would be played randomly.
Next to the screen was a list for them to choose from.
Ming Xu chose Li Xiang's name without hesitation.
Crystal-like steam suddenly shot out, separating each of their seats. The screen in front of them quickly filled their vision. It was extremely clear, and there were even moving sound effects.
36 VS 199
When he saw that Li Xiang's opponent was one of the last contestants, Wang Haisheng, who was sitting in City 1026's headquarters, let out a sigh of relief. If Li Xiang's luck was too bad and he met an extremely difficult opponent in the first round and was eliminated, then all their investments over the past few days would have been for naught.
No matter how much sense of belonging the city's residents had, they wouldn't pay for a contestant who was eliminated in the first round, unless he could make it to the next revival round.
Li Xiang, who was inside the pillar of light, felt a terrifying suction force. His Origin Substance clone couldn't help but enter the spatial gate.
When his body landed, what entered his eyes was a desolate plain. The top of the plain was densely covered with towering stone pillars of different lengths and thicknesses. Upon closer inspection, some of them looked like stone pillars, while others looked like pagodas in temples.
A scarlet full moon hung in the sky. A light breeze blew, and the weather was pleasant.
His ears were filled with the sound of the wind. Li Xiang walked lightly on the ground. He did not know where the other party landed. Then, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard he stepped, even if his footprints sank, he could not hear any movement.
The stone pillars were in a messy formation, but they were always able to block some of his vision.
This was practically the perfect environment for an assassination.
He took off the Specter on his back. In a place like this, it was difficult for the shotgun's power to be fully displayed. As long as his opponent dodged through the densely packed stone pillars, he would be able to easily evade the Specter's attack.
Li Xiang had indeed learned assassination techniques under Yu Yi's guidance, but that was only for outsiders. Against a true assassin like Ming Xu, his technique was very embarrassing.
Li Xiang's advantage was definitely his Machinery Proficiency, which was reflected in the use of firearms and weapons. It just so happened that he was at a disadvantage in this environment.
"So that's how it is. In order to eliminate the unfairness of some random matches, there are restrictions in other aspects." Li Xiang's lips curled up slightly. This was even more interesting.
He also didn't like the kind of match where it was a one-sided and one-sided game.
There were no footsteps, no sound at all. The whistling of the wind was enough to fill his ears.
Li Xiang slowly closed his eyes. He didn't instantiate the Five Senses Magic Circuit, and it was difficult for him to track his opponent with just his awakened state.
Whoosh!
A faint sound of wind brushed past his ears.
A shadow flashed past.
Li Xiang suddenly became extremely alert. He lowered his body, and almost at the same time, the black dagger flew past his cheek, leaving a shallow bloodstain on his face.
It was fast!
He looked back at the black dagger, and in an instant, it disappeared from the gap between the stone pillars.
This instantaneous burst of speed was faster than his mental reaction speed.
This was also one of his few weaknesses. Compared to opponents of the same level, his mental reaction speed wasn't fast enough!
"Even this can be matched. Looks like I can't be careless." Li Xiang was even more alert. If he didn't pay attention to this, he might fail miserably.
In the blink of an eye, the opponent launched a dozen or so probing attacks, each one more piercing than the last. Everyone watching felt their hearts stop, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"Is this the strength of the trial-takers? It's hard to imagine that this is a group of prospective university students. " As a Level-3 Magician, Wang Haisheng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the screen. At the same age, he was just someone who had barely passed the ultimate trial.
It was no wonder that the strong players in the same batch were now the best players. At this stage, the gap between them was immeasurable.
And on the path of cultivation, the further one progressed, the bigger and more obvious the gap would be.
Ming Xu, who was staring at the screen, paid more attention to the opponent. Perhaps only a master assassin like her could figure out where the opponent was hiding in an instant.
She reached out her slender fingers and swiped the screen. Soon, she found the graceful girl who was wrapped in a tight black suit at the top of a stone pillar.
She had beautiful long black hair that wasn't tied up with a headband. It fluttered in the wind and extended from her bra. The mask only covered her mouth. She was wearing a pair of lightweight black shorts that hugged her hips perfectly. Then, she wore knee-high socks and snow-white thighs.
Her feet were bare, and she wore a cloak of feather. Her eyes were cold, and she was holding a short dagger called "kunai."
This was a very old faction called the Ninjas. They were passed down from Section 2 of the Subcontinent. As Dong Ling's family moved, many branches of the Ninjas moved to the European continent. At the moment, the Ninjas were a very famous assassin group.
Back on the Blue Planet, the Ninjas played the role of intelligence agents, spies, and sex workers. Ming Xu, who was from the European continent, knew this very well.
"Boom!"
The screen suddenly trembled.
A loud noise was heard as the camera moved toward where the Ninja was hiding.
Li Xiang, who was on the ground, casually threw a shot. He had guessed where the Ninja was hiding based on his intuition.
Many people were shocked by his insight.
The ninja girl in the sky was stunned as well. She had chosen the best ambush point to observe Li Xiang's reaction. She wanted to test him so that she could kill him in one shot. She did not expect that he would find her hiding place. She was like a blind cat that caught a dead mouse.
The stone pillar at the top was unable to withstand the attack of the Ghoul. The Ninja was so scared that she turned into a puff of black smoke and jumped away.
What a joke!
Did this guy carry heavy weapons with him?
She had indeed carefully studied every single participant, especially number thirty-six Li Xiang, who was her archenemy that she had to kill.
However, she did not expect that the Phantom Ghost in the information was different from what she remembered. This Phantom Ghost had obviously been violently modified. She saw that it could actually leave a mark on the solid black stone pillar when it was waved around. If it were to land on her body …
Smoke curled up.
Ninjas were very good at hiding their tracks. This advantage had been passed down to this day.
Unfortunately, her opponent was Li Xiang, who was very familiar with ancient history.
In his previous life, he had lived in the world of tarot cards. What kind of monsters had he not seen before?
This kind of illusion technique would have been child's play in his previous life.
"It seems like your inheritance isn't complete, Ninja." Li Xiang walked through the smoke and suddenly threw a shot.
There was a muffled groan in the darkness.
She hadn't been hit by the Ghoul, but the gun had smashed into her chest. The pain immediately confirmed her previous thoughts. What would happen if the gun landed on her body …
Her body flew backward and scraped against the ground for a long time before stopping.
Her Ninja uniform, which was originally meant for Agility, had many holes in it, revealing her Origin Substance underwear.
Whistles could be heard in the bar.
Fire Phoenix propped up her chin with one hand and swirled her wine glass with the other. This guy still didn't know how to treat women well. The customers in the bar all cheered and waved their flags, wishing that they could dive into the screen of light to observe the Ninja's graceful figure.
"What's all this noise about?" Fire Phoenix scolded lazily.
The entire bar fell silent.
She smiled in satisfaction and continued to watch the battle on the screen of light.
Once the assassin was caught, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.
