411: An unexpected way to win

Chen Du arrived early at the competition venue corresponding to Arena (Arena) No. 115. He was the first to arrive; only the Warden and he were there.

Today was the third match of the Top 1000 phase, 25 advancing to 12. Excluding one player who got a bye, 12 matches were starting simultaneously.

Although they were starting simultaneously, the audience's attention was mostly focused on Chen Du's venue.

Whether it was the Shushu Civilization from the Gloomy Land or the Huangtian Civilization from the Severed Ancient Territory, just the beginning was more captivating than other matches, not to mention Shi Fan also held the title of the Prophets Student's strongest.

This confrontation was destined to attract attention.

“Hmm?”

“Why isn’t he here yet?”

A slight commotion arose from the audience.

The other 11 matches on Arena (Arena) No. 115 had already begun, but Chen Du's opponent, the much-anticipated Shi Fan, had yet to appear.

This couldn't help but make people wonder. The Prophets Students were always disciplined, and there was no such thing as them playing the big shot and appearing last.

Furthermore, there was also a kill ban here, so there was no possibility of a contestant being assassinated.

It was precisely based on these two facts that everyone was puzzled.

After a while, an alien from the Huangtian Civilization rushed onto the Arena (Arena).

However, this person was not Shi Fan.

“Cough cough...”

After a moment, the Warden turned around and looked at Chen Du:

“Contestant Shi Fan had a sudden Breakthrough. He had suppressed it for a long time, but ultimately couldn't suppress this Life Strength. He is now a Sky Soaring Warrior, and according to the rules, he cannot participate in subsequent matches.”

“Therefore, congratulations, Contestant Wu La, for successfully advancing to the Top 12 of Arena (Arena) No. 115!”

Chen Du, hearing this, was stunned, just like the audience.

Chen Du never expected that he would win in such a way.

He had seen Shi Fan's Life Strength Rank yesterday; it was Rank 19.8. As a Prophets Student, and the strongest one at that, his other two conditions must have been met.

Therefore, the moment his Life Strength Rank increased to Rank 19.9, he would complete the three conditions for advancing to a Sky Soaring Warrior.

One: Rank 19.9 Life Strength.

Two: Rank 15 Mental Energy.

Three: First-Order Limit Martial Skill.

When all three are met simultaneously, one will directly advance to a Rank 20 Sky Soaring Warrior.

Apart from the first, Chen Du had achieved the other two conditions long ago, but this did not mean these three conditions were simple; it was just that Chen Du was a Genius.

Any one of these three was not simple; those who could achieve them were considered Geniuses.

However, there were also differences among Geniuses; some achieved it easily, while others struggled. This made a world of difference for their future potential.

Although Chen Du was not familiar with Shi Fan, the latter was definitely among the former, meaning those who achieved it easily.

“Damn it!”

“This is so dramatic! I was looking forward to a great battle!”

“Although this Wu La is not as good as Shi Fan, he also possesses the strength of a Top 10 contender. I had high hopes yesterday, but today it turned out to be a big disappointment.”

“Yes, I wanted to enjoy their earth-shattering battle today, but I ended up seeing nothing.”

Sounds like these flowed like wind through the audience.

At this moment, probably the only person truly happy was Chen Du!

Although the 5% chance of the bodhi relic had not appeared, making Chen Du feel a bit unlucky, was the opponent's sudden promotion not also a kind of luck?

Among the remaining contestants, although there were also strong ones, through yesterday's observation, Chen Du was confident that those people could not defeat him.

The moment the Warden announced his victory, Chen Du knew that his spot in the Top 100 was secure!

Just like that, Chen Du quickly left the Arena (Arena). As the direct winner, he was one of the fastest contestants to finish his match today, if not the fastest.

The reason he left quickly was that Chen Du wanted to watch the matches of the other four Prophets Students.

After all, Chen Du was aiming for the Top Three, and whether he could or not, he had to try his best to compete for it.

The intervals between the Arena (Arenas) were not very far, even a bit close.

Previously, after his own match, Chen Du would also observe other contestants, but by then, the Prophets Students' matches had already ended.

But this time was different; this match ended too early, practically a few seconds after it started.

One must know that the later the match, the stronger the opponent. Even if you are stronger, winning takes time, and everyone needs to consider subsequent battles, so it's impossible to use any Move that harms the enemy a thousand while hurting oneself eight hundred.

In other words, the winner wouldn't win that quickly.

After Chen Du left, he immediately found a staff member. Fortunately, contestant information was not protected.

Because many alien races from various Civilizations came specifically to watch a certain alien or person, staff members would provide information about that contestant like a tour guide.

Of course, this information was limited to the opponent's Arena (Arena) and number.

There were a total of five Prophets Students. The one currently known as the strongest from the Severed Ancient Territory: Huangtian Civilization, Arena (Arena) No. 115, No. 1 Shi Fan, had already eliminated himself.

There were four remaining. According to the information provided by the staff, Chen Du learned that the other four were respectively:

Taiji Bahuang Territory: Liangyi Civilization, Arena (Arena) No. 106, No. 22.

Looking-Through Territory: Charon Civilization, Arena (Arena) No. 108, No. 15.

Ashen Land: Rule Breaking Civilization, Arena (Arena) No. 111, No. 5.

Glacier Territory: Ice vine Civilization, Arena (Arena) No. 113, No. 7.

The rankings of the Prophets Students were all extremely high, which meant they finished their matches in very short times in the first round.

The differences between these numbers were very small. For these four rankings, the relationship between position and time was related to the opponent, and not much to one's own strength.

For example, was Taiji Bahuang Territory, Liangyi Civilization, No. 22, necessarily weaker than Ashen Land, Rule Breaking Civilization, No. 5?

Clearly, there was no basis for that.

After obtaining the locations, Chen Du immediately headed to Arena (Arena) No. 113, planning to watch the match of Glacier Territory, Ice vine Civilization, No. 7.

Although he inwardly preferred to watch the match of Taiji Bahuang Territory, Liangyi Civilization, No. 22, there was nothing he could do. Arena (Arena) No. 113 was the closest to Arena (Arena) No. 115.

No. 106 was the furthest. If No. 22 finished his match on the way there, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

With this thought, Chen Du quickly went to Arena (Arena) No. 113.

Upon arriving at the scene, Chen Du, with his purpose in mind, quickly found the venue for No. 7 VS No. 118.

He saw a two-meter-tall, four-legged unicorn with sections of yellow horn on its head and the appearance of a white horse, fighting an alien about 1.5 meters tall, with two legs and two arms, resembling a withered tree.

The unicorn was clearly at a disadvantage, acquiring a new wound, either deep or shallow, every ten seconds or so.

“Is this the Ice vine Civilization?”

“Indeed formidable.”

Chen Du's eyes were bright as he watched the two fiercely battling on the field, evaluating them from the bottom of his heart.

“Cough cough...”

At this moment, a member of another Civilization, also in the audience, standing beside Chen Du, lightly coughed and said.

“Just arrived, brother? You've got it wrong; that unicorn is the Ice vine Civilization!”
