This novel, with 2.7 million characters, has concluded on this site, and updates were stable. (Ratings have just come out and are still rising.)
The simulator does not suppress combat power, ...
Through continuous competition and contests, the final winner can receive a prize that is dozens of times more valuable than the ticket price.
The reward for this arena champion is the same Holy Grail War invitation that Bai Yi received before.
There are various ways to obtain this batch of invitations, but only this one can be obtained through pure combat.
At the heart of the arena, one person stands, and one person lies down.
"Ugh..."
The legendary hero, Liu Jie, the Yazi Emperor, lay on the ground. His black dragon body, due to its own destruction, was returning to human form, while his body continued to disappear.
"Such a powerful sword, such incredible speed..."
He stared at his opponent, dressed in white, expressionless, the sword in his hand, though slightly chipped, still gleaming like new.
An epic-level hero, the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
"You lost, I won, so the qualification is mine, it's that simple."
As the final victor in the arena, he holds the golden invitation that appeared out of nowhere and prepares to return to the real world.
Liu Jie's body completely disintegrated, and his consciousness returned to the spirit foundation of the soul contract of the heroic spirit.
"Did we still lose?"
"Yes, the gap is still too big, and all the money we worked so hard to save for the tickets was wasted."
Both were defeated Heroic Spirits, both were losers, but he was amplified more by the power of legend.
Before I died, when I was still rational, the gap between us wasn't as big as I imagined..."
When Liu Jie summarized the reasons for his failure, the most important one was the numerical gap between him and the Heroic Spirit.
The stats of a Heroic Spirit depend on three aspects: their strength in life, their influence on the world in life, and their influence after death.
In most cases, a Heroic Spirit will be stronger than when they were alive, but the degree of strength varies.
Liu Jie was merely the last emperor, defeated by Ye Li. In history books, he is simply recorded as a defeated general under the Taizu Emperor.
It has limited legendary status and exists only as a stepping stone for Ye Li.
The Master of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was different. Even though he was defeated by Bai Xiaosheng, he did complete the integration of the sword path.
The Dao of the Master of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion has enabled countless sword cultivators in later generations to accelerate their growth, and countless people owe him a debt of gratitude.
Furthermore, the original manuscript of the Master of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion often appears in Bai Xiaosheng's stories.
So, one is epic, and the other is legendary.
The difference in basic numerical values is already significant, but at this point, there is still a chance to win.
The level of a Heroic Spirit is not an absolute factor in battle. Even a fortune teller would lose if he didn't prepare in advance and faced Liu Jie head-on.
Mechanics, Noble Phantasms, and whether the player is skilled in combat are all very important.
Let's compare the situations of both sides:
Liu Jie: Because of his cause of death, his battles against swordsmen and Order faction heroes will become difficult.
Master of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion: When facing evil faction heroes, one will be affected to a certain extent.
In other words, in terms of restraint, Liu Jie was the one being restrained, which was quite awkward.
"What a pity, this was the most generous arena reward ever, and also my best chance..."
He wants to participate in the Holy Grail War. If he can achieve a good ranking in the battle against other Heroic Spirits, he will have the opportunity to fulfill one of his wishes.
Liu Jie wanted to put an end to the lingering resentment and curses of his hometown, so that the curses against his descendants would cease.
After all, he and his Heroic Spirits had tried many methods to break the curse on their bloodline, but all had failed.
The resentment of those who were killed by the Liu family's thousand-year plan and merged into the dragon vein has not completely disappeared, even though Ye Li ushered in a prosperous era and so much time has passed.
The descendants of the Liu family, because of the sins committed by their ancestors, are no different from being punished by heaven. Everything goes wrong for them, but they will never completely lose their bloodline.
"Don't be afraid, we still have other opportunities. Changing the divine punishment is very difficult, but we still have time."
His spirit persuaded him in this way, and this was Liu Jie's wish.
So, what is the wish of the Master of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion?
