Chapter 812: Fight
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The contents of the CD shocked Li Yi to the core.
The main actor of the film inside was Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, and the main actress was none other than Qian’er’s stepmother, Lin Wenyu’s wife, Liu Yun!
The CD was recorded two years ago, and it contained footage of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth forcing himself onto Liu Yun.
Qian’er wailed, “He’s threatening me! He says that if I don’t what he tells me to do, he’ll publicize the contents and ruin my stepmother’s reputation.”
Watching the contents of the CD, Li Yi swore, “That b*stard!”
He had already meant to deal Tyrant Sword King the Fifth one final blow, but upon watching the entire video, Li Yi was more determined than ever to finish him off.
Such a b*stard deserved nothing less than a painful death!
Li Yi took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked Qian’er, “What did he ask you to do?”
Qian’er was furious and humiliated. “He told me to go to his house today.”
“That motherf*cker!” Li Yi turned around and walked out of his room. “You can stay out of this, I’ll deal with him!”
This time, Li Yi was well and truly pissed off.
He stood in the living room and started making calls.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had gone too far and was pushing the lowest of his limits. If Li Yi did not take actions to whip him into shape now, how could he still call himself a man?
Li Yi had barely just hung up when his phone rang again, and a glance at the caller ID showed that the incoming call was from Tyrant Sword King the Fifth of all people.
“Dark Wing, you saw the CD too, right? Hehe, I know perfectly well that Qian’er won’t blindly obey me. Sigh, I know her too well.”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s sigh only put a cold smile on Li Yi’s face.
Just then, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth changed the topic. “The Annual Arena Championship is almost upon us, and I want you to join. Do you have the balls to?”
Li Yu laughed icily. “But of course.”
“Hehe, then let’s make a wager. If you win, I swear I’ll never harass Qian’er again, but if you lose, please leave Qian’er and give her to me. Do you have the balls to accept these terms?”
“Of course!” Li Yi did not even hesitate. After agreeing, however, he said, “Qian’er belongs to me now, so of course she’s mine to wager. But what about you? What do you have to offer?”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was silent for a moment before he said, “If you win, I’ll destroy the original copy of that CD.”
Li Yi laughed coldly. “That has nothing to do with me!”
It was true, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could use Liu Yun’s tape to threaten Qian’er, but that did not work on Li Yi. After all, Li Yi had never met Liu Yun, be it in the past life or the present. She was a complete stranger to him.
Besides, if Li Yi acted worried now, would he not be admitting his weakness to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth?
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth said, “Then you set your conditions!”
“If you lose, you just have to kneel and apologize to me.”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth howled excitedly, “Hahahaha, sure thing! Then I’ll see you at the Championship Finals. Here’s to hoping you don’t get eliminated before that, because that counts as a loss too!”
“Same to you!”
Li Yi continued to smile coldly as he hung up.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could not even make an offer, which showed that the CD was the last of his assets. Now that he knew all of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s secrets, Li Yi no longer had anything to worry about.
“Looks like I gotta delay some of my plans.”
Li Yi mumbled to himself as he made yet another call.
...
The King of Pantheon’s Annual Arena Championship took place every year, and becoming champion would earn one a unique title as well a huge monetary reward.
In order to participate in the Annual Arena Championship, players must first win the title of seasonal champion in their respective countries. There were four slots for each country, which meant that there was a total of twelve contestants from the three countries.
If it were not for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s challenge, Li Yi would not even be bothered to participate in this year’s Championship.
Unending Unmatched, Pale Blue Elegance, Fang Jie, Jiaojiao, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Qian’er, Flower Underpants, and Nirvana Inaction were the Iron Alliance elites who had joined the Championship this time around, and now Unending Unmatched, Pale Blue Elegance, and The Cat that Sings had all won the Seasonal Championship once each. They were only missing the last contender.
If Li Yi joined now, Flower Underpants and the others would probably rage quit.
However, he had no choice now. It was time to settle matters with Tyrant Sword King the Fifth once and for all.
Li Yi signed up for the Seasonal Championship, and with his abilities, he made it to the top of the score rankings within a day.
By the time the Seasonal Championship actually began, his opponent, Flower Underpants threw in the towel without a fight. That was how Li Yi obtained the right to participate in the Annual Championship without breaking a sweat.
As for the Fluttering Snow Continent, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was the champion of the first season, so he did not have to fight again for the right to join the finals. The other three contestants, however, came as a bit of a surprise to Li Yi.
The other three players from the Fluttering Snow Continent who earned the right to participate in the finals were the God of Massacre with a Thousand Faces, Jiggly; the Dark God, Empyrean South; and the Phoenix Archer, Drifting Snow.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not participate, and Amber Sword Heart had somehow been disqualified...
On the other hand, the four contestants from the Ninth Continent who qualified were much less surprising to Li Yi. They were all familiar faces who had qualified in the past life as well: Brother Windcloud Nine, Shoot Until Daybreak, Night Moon, and God-Killing Gale.
On the 11th of November, another Annual Arena Championship officially began.
The Arena had been expanded endlessly, but it was still packed full with spectators. The red system notifications spammed the screens. Anyone who attended stood a chance to receive a Gift Box from Heaven, which was why some players arrived three hours early just to book seats.
“Come, come, place your bets! This is a good chance to make big bucks, you don’t wanna miss out...”
The many dealers shouted at the tops of their voices. They were always most active around tournaments.
Of the twelve contestants, the one with the highest odds was none other than Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Li Yi was only in second place after him.
Although Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had gone bankrupt, this had not affected his skills in the game. His Sovereign Equipment Set, a current Holy Point tally of 1,500, and a tool that increased his Territory Rank by 2, the Limit Break Stone, meant that he stood in the center of attention.
Unlike previous years, the prizes for this year’s Arena Champion were even more lucrative than before. The cash prize alone was worth over 30 million.
This could be attributed to King of Pantheon’s continued popularity. Since they were making a killing, of course they would use a portion of the profits to instigate the players even further, drawing even more people even deeper into the game.
In the past life, Li Yi remembered that the final prize for this year’s grand champion was only 8 million. It was a far cry from the sum offered in this life.
30 million was but a pittance to Li Yi. Even the title of Annual Grand Champion did not rouse his interest.
He could give up the throne of King, and he could even make someone else the Emperor, because there was only one title he was interested in. He wanted to become the ultimate existence in King of Pantheon, the Ruler of God!
What was the point of playing a game if not to stand at the very pinnacle?
He was going to go big or go home!
That had always been Li Yi’s motto, and it had not changed since his past life!
Amidst the players’ thunderous applause, the first match began.
It was Brother Windcloud Nine versus Pale Blue Elegance!
Although the two of them were actually on rather good terms, this was still the arena and not the battlefield. In other words, everyone could do battle with each other to their hearts’ content without having to worry about anything else.
As soon as she took to the stage, Pale Blue Elegance summoned the strongest summon she currently had — the Dragon of Windstorms.
The Dragon of Windstorms had more than 300 million HP and was even larger than Onyxia, and its slightest exhalation resulted in a cyclone. Just like in the past life, Pale Blue Elegance had succeeded this time as well, using her outstanding determination to sign a contract with the Dragon of Windstorms once again.
“Roaar—”
The Dragon of Windstorms threw its head back and roared. Pale Blue Elegance stood behind it, such that her opponent could not even see her.
If they wanted to kill her, they would have to kill her pet dragon first!
The Dragon of Windstorms was by nature different from Onyxia. Onyxia was a pet, so there was only so much she could do. On the other hand, the Dragon of Windstorms was a pet, so it could use 120% of its true power.
Before the battle began, the Dragon of Windstorms kept stomping its foot, as though asserting its authority. The whole arena shook with every stomp.
Brother Windcloud Nine walked onto the stage as well, dressed in the same Impartial Guardian Emperor Equipment Set, armed with Blazing Judgment and the Glory Shield.
“Impartial Decree!”
The match officially began, and Brother Windcloud Nine made the first move. He released Impartial Decree, the skill that came with the Impartial Guardian Emperor Equipment Set, and it enveloped the entire arena.
Pale Blue Elegance and the Dragon of Windstorms were both surrounded by it.
Impartial Decree halved all of one’s Attributes.
At the same time, that number was not always constant. It changed according to both parties’ equipment, level, Holy Points, and Territory Level.
Standing within range of Impartial Decree meant that the Dragon of Windstorms lost 100 million HP and only had 200 million left. At the same time, Pale Blue Elegance also suffered a reduction in her Attributes.
“Impartial Hand— Retribution!”
Brother Windcloud Nine stretched out one hand, and with a wave, a golden palm descended from the sky, landing exactly on Pale Blue Elegance’s head.
This was the Impartial Guardian Emperor Equipment Set’s third Hidden Attribute.
“Pfft!”
The golden Impartial Hand grabbed Pale Blue Elegance’s face, blocking her line of sight and rapidly weakening her Attributes at the same time.
“Roaar—”
The Dragon of Windstorms spat out a maelstrom and attacked Brother Windcloud Nine.
Several dozen blue tornadoes crashed toward Brother Windcloud Nine in rows and columns, the range of the attack covering half of the arena.
“Holy Shield Spell!
“Holy Blessing!”
Brother Windcloud Nine’s SPD was not high, so it would be very difficult for him to outrun the tornadoes. In that case, he chose to tank them head-on.
He activated the Holy Shield Spell to reduce the damage taken, but to his surprise, as he was withstanding the tornado attack, Pale Blue Elegance suddenly dashed forth and began to spin a long staff in her hands. With a sweep, she hit his waist.
“Bang!”
Brother Windcloud Nine flew off the stage like a kite with a snapped string...
It was an instant kill!
Pale Blue Elegance had won!
Everything on stage had happened too quickly, such that the audience beneath the stage could not even react in time.
“What happened?”
“Hmm? What just happened?”
“Brother Nine used the Holy Shield Spell, so he should be invincible. How did Pale Blue Elegance send him flying?”
The audience was in utter shock.
