489: Dark beasts! A level where survival is impossible!

"Hmm? Are these the obstacles set up by those idle fellows through their rewards, just to force out my ultimate strength?"

Su Lie frowned slightly.

He did not feel any Fear facing 9,999 gai monsters.

Nor did he have any worries about the map's environment.

In his opinion, suppressing his movement speed by 90 percent...

...he still had at least 100 billion Speed attribute points available.

Suppressing his unarmed damage by 50 percent...

...meant he still had 4 trillion unarmed damage.

If this was combined with the 100 times unarmed damage multiplier of the Vajra Cannon Fist or the Dark Requiem.

That single strike would deal at least 400 trillion damage.

As for everything else, he did not care.

The only thing that concerned him was the monsters!

However.

If the monsters were all like those in the first stage.

Even if they carried a 1 trillion shield.

Su Lie would not be afraid.

"Hmph! They want to use the Savage Beast Positioning to make the beasts constantly attack me, preventing me from resting, keeping me in a state of depletion, and giving me an extremely low food supply drop rate. Are they trying to wear me down until I die?"

Su Lie snorted coldly, seeing the goal of the reward givers through these 12 Suppression rules.

However.

He was not afraid.

He possessed infinite stamina.

As long as the numerical savage beasts in the arena were not excessively overpowered.

No matter how many came.

He could destroy them all.

Most importantly.

The arena rules compensated Su Lie with the chance to use the Holy Light Rebirth Skill once every hour.

In that case.

He could use a reckless damage-for-damage Fighting style.

Coupled with the temporary recovery privilege of restoring 0.0001 percent of his total Spirit and Life attributes every second.

This meant Su Lie could gain 1 million Spirit and Life recovery points per second.

With such a buff.

He could cast Dark Requiem indefinitely!

"Next, I really look forward to seeing your expressions of great disappointment!"

Su Lie smiled slightly.

Just as he had mentally prepared himself to enter the arena.

A panel emerged from the light screen in front of him.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, you have gained the privilege to bet on yourself!]

[Current Stakes: The odds for you surviving and clearing the second stage are 1:99.99 million; the odds for you failing the second stage are 1:1;]

[Would you like to place a bet?]

[Note: You can only bet on yourself losing or winning!]

[Note: If you die, even if your bet is successful, your wagering funds will be entirely owned by the event organizer.]

[Note: You can only use Mist Points to place a bet!]

"What the hell! Isn't this clearly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? Event organizer, be a decent human being!"

Su Lie muttered, immediately converting all his guild contribution points into Mist Points: "All in! I bet I win!"

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, your bet was successful!]

[You bet on yourself winning. Wager: 22 zi 2,442 gai 6,688 jing 2,452 zhao 4,000 hundred million. Odds: 1:99.99 million. If you successfully clear this stage, the event organizer will award you 22 gou 2,420 rang 4,245 zi 5,764 gai 2,000 jing;]

Su Lie looked at the feedback in front of him, the corner of his mouth curving slightly upward.

He suddenly wanted to thank the beings who had set up obstacles for him.

If it weren't for them, his odds wouldn't have become so high.

If he won this round.

He would be free from worry about food and clothing... Meanwhile.

Qing Feng, who was outside the arena, looked at the 12 Suppression rules displayed on the big screen concerning Su Lie's reward-based handicaps, and her body involuntarily trembled.

"Damn! You guys are too ruthless!"

Qing Feng said to Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert beside her.

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert laughed: "We never expected a mere human to cause such a huge disturbance! You only have yourself to blame!"

"You knew that Love would target the outstanding talents you favored! Yet you insisted on promoting him with great fanfare! That was very foolish!"

He felt some contempt for Qing Feng.

He always felt that Qing Feng's thought process was different from that of normal people.

Qing Feng snorted coldly and glared at Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert: "What the hell do you know! Promotion is more effective than silence! Otherwise, Su Lie would have long ago been noticed by some old monster and openly captured to be used as food!"

"You are overthinking it! He and Kronos of the Giant Temple are good friends. I heard that Kronos is launching an operation called Cognitive Purification within the Giant Temple, which is causing a massive headache over there!"

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert meaningfully looked toward the location of Wayne, God of Chaos, in the Giant Temple: "Therefore, God King Gaia arranged for Wayne and numerous forces under the Giant Temple to eliminate this little fox among your humans!"

"They are desperately eager to see your little pawn die in the arena!"

"Isn't that hilarious!"

"I am truly curious! What kind of ideology did Su Lie instill in Kronos to make this Crown Prince betray the nobles!"

While saying this.

He looked in another direction.

Qing Feng's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. She turned her head and asked Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert: "What... what is your goal?"

"Guess!"

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert winked at Qing Feng.

"What the hell! Trash!"

Qing Feng raised her middle finger. Looking at Su Lie's odds on the big screen, she immediately poured all her Mist Points into the bet.

"Holy crap! You... you... you... 1,000 zheng Mist Points! You actually bet on Su Lie winning? How can this be?"

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert stared solemnly at Qing Feng; he suddenly felt a little panicked.

However.

When he saw that only 2 people had bet on Su Lie winning, while the remaining 109.2 billion spectators had bet on Su Lie losing.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, in such a situation.

The hundreds of billions of experts present could not be fools.

But the moment he thought of Qing Feng's bet, he lost control of himself.

"Holy crap! Su Lie is guaranteed to lose, yet Qing Feng bet on him winning. This doesn't align with Qing Feng's interests based on my understanding of her!"

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert pondered gravely: "This is clearly a losing battle! No matter how powerful Su Lie is, he only has a few hundred billion attribute points at most!"

"Under this Suppression, he must first break the monster's shield before he can damage the numerical savage beasts!"

"Facing an endless horde of savage beasts, can he remain calm? Can he fight without panicking at all?"

"No! Even I couldn't fight in this environment!"

"Even if he manages to keep Fighting, he will eventually be exhausted and die in this battle!"

"Then!"

"Given such an obvious losing situation!"

"What is she trying to do?"

Thinking of this.

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert looked at Qing Feng, his eyes full of confusion.

Qing Feng saw the look Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert gave her. She shrugged and said flatly: "Although I did harm this kid! I still have to make some sort of gesture regarding his death! These points are useless to me anyway, so consider it funeral expenses for the child!"

"F*ck!"

Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert cursed loudly: "Why didn't you give them to me!"

"Can you f*cking replace Su Lie and enter the second stage?"

Qing Feng's words instantly rendered Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert speechless.

Reap of the Xuntian Clan, standing nearby, no longer dared to speak. He secretly took out his funds and bet on Su Lie winning: "The words of big shots always contain hidden meanings! I've missed several opportunities and been treated like an idiot, so one more time won't hurt!"

"If Su Lie wins, I will turn into a local tyrant!"

"But no matter how I calculate, I can't figure out how Su Lie can win!"

"Damn!"

Although he felt extremely uneasy, he believed that Qing Feng's bet must have a deeper meaning.

On the other side.

Wayne, God of Chaos, of the Giant Temple, looked at the bets related to Su Lie on the big screen, as well as the twelve fully funded Suppression rewards, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Haha! That kid Su Lie is definitely finished!"

"This mission is easier than I imagined!"

"Thanks to Lord Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert suppressing Qing Feng! Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to make such an open move! And I certainly wouldn't dare to contact other races to crush Su Lie!"

Just thinking about Su Lie dying in this second stage.

He couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Before long.

The horn of the arena sounded.

The Sheep Clan host flew into the air above the big screen and passionately announced: "Everyone! The second phase of the first-stage arena—the Savage Beast Survival Phase—has officially begun!"

"A total of 10.35 million contestants have entered the second phase. Among these first-stage contestants, only Su Lie, who is on the popularity rankings, must enter a separate trial world due to the restrictions of the reward Suppression rules!"

"All other contestants will survive in the same world!"

His words drew the attention of all the spectators present.

Some spectators began to cheer enthusiastically.

The Sheep Clan host smiled and said: "I know everyone is particularly concerned about the situation of the first-stage human contestant Su Lie! To allow everyone to watch more directly, the event organizer has decided to broadcast Su Lie's entire match on the big screen!"

"At the same time, all shops in the Virtual Street will begin broadcasting live!"

"The racial buildings and shops of every race in the Virtual Street can watch this match for free, and they can also give rewards to their favorite contestants!"

"Of course, the obstruction reward channel and the incentive reward channel have been closed! The rewards given by spectators inside and outside the arena will serve as prize money for the popular contestants!"

"Currently, Su Lie's prize pool has reached 100 jian Mist Points! (That is 100 trillion trillion!)"

"Of course, all these points are from the obstruction rewards!"

"This is also the first contestant in the history of the Virtual Street Fighting Competition to enjoy a match with such maximum obstruction rules!"

"...Currently, Su Lie's betting odds have reached the maximum, and there are now only 3 people betting on Su Lie winning!"

As the host prattled on.

The time quickly arrived for the start of the second phase.

Following the end of the countdown.

Su Lie appeared on the screen once more.

Qing Feng suddenly looked up.

She saw.

Su Lie was standing on a boundless wasteland.

The wasteland had no obstacles whatsoever.

About 10 seconds later.

A dense swarm of numerical savage beasts flashed into existence 1,000 meters away from Su Lie.

With crimson eyes, they charged madly toward Su Lie.

This rolling horde of beasts, like a massive wave, possessed an immense momentum.

The scene was like one person Fighting against an entire ocean.

"Overestimating himself!"

At this moment, various life forms around were shaking their heads and discussing.

"Su Lie of the Human Race is definitely dead!"

"That's right! These savage beasts all carry an energy shield of 500 billion points! Su Lie might not even be able to break the shield!"

"I never thought this contestant who created a miracle would be so short-lived!"

"Haha! It's good that he dies! It saves the Human Race from producing another powerful expert!"

"Indeed! This guy was too strong! In the first stage, he could easily instantly kill savage beasts, but the savage beasts in this second stage are 100 times stronger than the first stage's, plus the boost given by the Suppression rules to the savage beasts. I think Su Lie using a Skill would be pointless!"

...And at this moment.

Su Lie saw the relevant information about the savage beasts.

[Numerical Savage Beast: Health: 10 trillion; Damage: 100 trillion;]

This made Su Lie slightly relieved: "This means I must use a Skill every time to kill a monster!"

He whispered softly, having already adopted a defensive stance.

Since the Savage Beast Positioning rules were in effect.

He only needed to stand his ground and kill the enemies.

There was no need for large-scale movement.

Boom!

The roaring sounds from the surroundings grew closer and closer.

As the bizarre savage beasts, each condensed from masses of black weapons, approached Su Lie, they suddenly opened their mouths and released beams of black particle light.

Su Lie raised an eyebrow: "Holy crap!"

He tapped his toes and immediately moved to the side.

He either jumped, crawled, or rolled and scrambled.

He finally managed to dodge all the incoming particle light beams.

Fortunately.

Only the savage beasts in the very front row launched this attack; the beasts in the back rows merely followed those ahead, charging wildly.

When they arrived near Su Lie.

"Vajra Cannon Fist!"

Su Lie stepped forward and swung his fist directly.

As he continuously cast Vajra Cannon Fist, bombarding the numerical savage beasts that were attacking him simultaneously.

He saw.

The shields on the savage beasts instantly extinguished.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

One savage beast after another was exploded by Su Lie.

The violent Skill instantly cleared a wide area for Su Lie.

However.

The surrounding savage beasts were still charging forward recklessly.

Su Lie could only respond by continuously spinning and punching.

Yet even so.

He still sustained injuries.

A savage beast pierced Su Lie's waist and abdomen with its horn.

Fresh blood was gushing from the arm-thick wound.

Buzz!

Su Lie decisively used the Holy Light Rebirth, which was available once per hour.

His injuries were instantly healed.

Coupled with the rule-based privilege of restoring Spirit and Life every second.

Su Lie's lost Health points were rapidly replenished.

"Since Vajra Cannon Fist cannot protect me completely while being surrounded! Then I will try the newly acquired Dark Requiem!"

Su Lie immediately changed his strategy.

The reason he used Vajra Cannon Fist first was that this Skill had no consumption cost.

However, every strike of Dark Requiem required the consumption of 1 million Spirit points.

He wanted to minimize his resource depletion.

While he was thinking.

The savage beasts charging from the surroundings drew closer and closer to Su Lie, and just as Su Lie was about to be torn apart by the 'forest of horns' formed by the beasts' antlers.

A sudden tornado swirled up!

This caused the spectators at the event to narrow their pupils.

Qing Feng suddenly stood up: "Holy crap! How is this possible?"
