[Upper Realm]

"Huh? Roysterman was actually ranked as a lower-level race?"

"Hahaha! Doesn't this mean that Roysterman's strength is the same as that of a lower-level race?"

In the audience, an angel was holding her belly, laughing so hard she was almost crying.

On the empty stands, a creature carrying a giant axe looked down at the battlefield: "This should be Roysterman's first ranked match, right?"

"Entering the Void Realm requires proof of Diamond-level combat power; otherwise, he wouldn't need to fight in the arena."

"How interesting. I never expected that they would be ranked as a lower-ranking race."

The spectators in the stands were all Roysterman's teammates.

They had originally planned to explore the ancient battlefield called the Realm of Nothingness together, but upon arriving at the entrance, they discovered that Roysterman did not meet the requirements for entry.

To qualify, one must have at least a Diamond-level Arena aptitude, but Roysterman's Arena aptitude is only Platinum.

Left with no other choice, it had to fight in the arena.

The top race starts at Platinum I level, and only needs to win one game to reach Diamond rank.

And its first match happened to be the one featuring the fearless warriors.

"Humans, and third place at that. It's really quite remarkable that this lower-ranked race could reach the Diamond aptitude qualifying round."

"Haha, Roysterman won't lose, will he?" The angel floated in mid-air, clutching his stomach and still laughing.

It seems that the fact that Roysterman was ranked as a lower race really tickled her funny bone, and she can't stop laughing now.

"Lian, how long are you going to keep laughing?" asked the angel, a muscular creature with a dog's head and a human body, carrying a giant axe on its back.

"But, but it's really funny! A lower-class race, that's a lower-class race! Hahaha! Doesn't that make Roysterman seem like he's on the same level as a lower-class race? Hahaha!"

"There's nothing funny about it. The fact that he's ranked as high as Roysterman means that's how high his rank is supposed to be. However... Roysterman's strength is far more than just Platinum. People from lower races should be the most outstanding talents from those races. It's just a pity that he's bitten off more than he can chew this time."

Lian: "Hey, Anu, how about this, let's bet on how many seconds it will take for Lloydman to win?"

Anu: "Heh, can angels gamble too?"

Lian: "What's wrong with that? I bet that guy called Fearless Warrior can only last 10 seconds against Roysterman at most."

Anu: "15 seconds."

"Huh? You think highly of him?"

"His grip on the sword was very formal. He was not weak, so he could at least hold out for 15 seconds in Roysterman's hands."

“But his will doesn’t seem very strong,” Lian said with a grin.

What you see is only the surface.

The angel chuckled and said, "Alright, then whoever is closer wins. The wager will be the distribution ratio in the Void Realm. I want 20% of your spoils."

“Then I’ll do the same,” Anu replied.

As for the other two teammates in the audience, they remained silent. One was shaped like a jellyfish, and the other was extremely tall, towering into the sky. Even looking up, one could not see its full size.

Fortunately, this is a virtual audience seating area, and the audience members are merely projections of their forms; no matter how large they are, they will not affect the viewing experience.

In the arena—

[Countdown: 10...9...8...]

The brave and fearless saw the opponent's health bar.

The opponent's health is over 300 million, which means its constitution value is at least 2 million.

Currently, his strength value is only 1.6 million.

"However, it only has 300 million HP, one sword is enough."

[Countdown 3...]

Bang!

-------------------------------------

Lu Cang has arrived in the wilderness of Gaotian City. After the battle in the Forbidden Zone of Light, Lu Cang and his companions have reached level 76.

Killing the level 110 Silio provides a lot of experience points, enough to level up 6 levels in one go.

After closing the chat window, Lu Cang looked at the black mist not far away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"A superior race."

"Perfect timing, it's a good opportunity to hone my fearless spirit."

It's human nature to get carried away when you win too much. Nowadays, the fearless mentality of brave people isn't very mature, and they are prone to making the same mental mistakes that everyone makes.

Lu Cang not only focused on improving their strength, but also on cultivating their character.

In the illusory world, without a sufficiently good mindset, it's easy to capsize unexpectedly.

Rather, everything is important in the fantasy world. No aspect can be lacking in quality, otherwise it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the situation.

Lu Cang can move much faster when he acts alone than when the team acts together.

Lu Cang took advantage of Wujie's profession and selected the [Riding Master] skill, which provided an additional boost to the mount's original speed, making the Golden Crimson Flame Horse much faster.

In just over ten minutes, we traversed nearly two thousand kilometers and arrived at a patch of black soil.

This land appears gloomy and eerie.

The ground was littered with bones and corpses, a broken sword was stuck in the ground, and a dark green aura swirled around it.

Sensing Lu Cang's arrival, one after another white skeletal hand emerged from the black soil. Grim white bones and ugly corpses crawled up from the earth, but Lu Cang was too lazy to deal with these corpses. Instead, he spurred his horse straight into the depths of the black soil.

Land of the Black Death

This area belongs to the undead race.

-------------------------------------

【arena】

The moment the countdown ended, the fearless warrior drew his sword.

This strike is the most wide-ranging [Closed Forbidden Circle Slash].

However, the moment the fearless warrior swung his sword, he instantly sensed something was wrong! He quickly changed the Closed Circle Slash into a normal attack, simultaneously activating his momentum to accelerate, instantly moving 50 meters!

boom!

There was absolutely no warning of an attack.

Where the fearless warrior had just stood, a hollow pit with a radius of about three meters appeared.

But before the brave warriors could regroup and launch another offensive...

Whoosh!

In the next instant, the fearless warrior found that his position had changed.

It was originally only about 100 meters away from the enemy.

Now he was more than a kilometer away from the enemy, and throughout this process, the brave and fearless man didn't even blink.

Forced displacement?

Spatial capabilities!

The brave and fearless immediately thought of these things, but at the same time, their intuition also gave them a strong warning.

The fearless warrior seemed to see three different thin lines cutting him from three different directions.

This scenario will soon take place in the near future!

Bang!

The brave and fearless warrior was originally prepared to continue the attack, but after sensing the threat, he immediately slashed diagonally and quickly dodged the attack with a sliding step!

"Huh?"

"Does this kid have such sharp intuition?"

"He managed to dodge Roysterman's attacks twice, and it seems he relied entirely on instinct." The angel's eyes lit up slightly, showing great interest.

“However, he is a warrior, and the gap between him and Roysterman has widened,” Anu said in a deep voice.

The fearless warrior dodged two attacks in a row, and cold sweat was already pouring down his back. This feeling was just like when he faced that Void race in the Trial of Pride.

Troublesome, extremely troublesome.

No, it was even more oppressive than the sense of oppression felt against the Void race during the trials.

The fearless warrior suddenly remembered something Bai Lu had mentioned during their conversation...

When Bai Lu killed the Spider Clan, she had already mentioned the superior races to Lu Cang. At that time, when Bai Lu asked Lu Cang if he could win, Lu Cang's answer was: "I can't win."

Bai Lu had also mentioned this answer to herself, but at the time it was just casual conversation, and the fearless brave didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, suddenly remembering this incident, a cold sweat breaks out on my back, despite my fearless courage.

The boss said it was an enemy they couldn't beat.

Damn, it was only then that the fearless warrior realized just how terrifying the so-called superior races really were.

Buzz!

In another instant, although the fearless warrior did not see it, he seemed to feel hundreds of threads appear around him at the same time, tightly wrapping him up like a spider web.

"However, the boss said I have a chance to win."

The fearless warrior tightened his grip slightly, unleashing a black and red slash!

[The End - Draw the Sword and Slash]

Whoosh!

Ding!

The fearless warrior could feel a resistance, and at the same time, he felt that many invisible threads had been severed by his slash!

You can kill him!

In the next instant, the fearless warrior accelerated with a sliding step, approaching the enemy at top speed.

Faced with this solution, Roysterman, who was hanging upside down in mid-air, simply turned around.

Buzz!

The brave discover that the distance between themselves and it has not become closer, but rather much farther.

Based on my intuition, I estimate the distance is now over three kilometers.

Depend on?

Are all superior races like this?

The other side doesn't even have a racial ranking yet.

"If I had known, I would have asked the old man to teach me the dual swords first." Swish! The fearless warrior retreated quickly, and where he had just stood, another empty space appeared.

The brave man, fearless, dodged another attack thanks to his intuition.

This intuition had saved him countless times, and even the fearless warrior himself found it incredible.

After dodging the attack, the fearless warrior immediately slashed his sword upwards!

This attack, however, caused the fearless warrior to falter.

Bang!

【Spatial Compression (5-Star): Compresses space and crashes down, dealing 50x mental damage to an area and blocking spatial movement within that area】

The brave are fearless, striving upwards to the very end, drawing their swords to fight against their adversaries!

Bang bang bang bang!

After unleashing four consecutive slashes, the word "immunity" appeared on the body of the fearless warrior.

Damn, it can't be neutralized. The immunity will be broken in as little as three seconds, and the other party will be in a state of shock.

The battle with Lu Cang taught the fearless warrior one thing: even if one can be immune or intimidated, it doesn't mean one is omnipotent. If the enemy is determined, there will always be a way to counter it.

The serious mode, on the other hand, is the trump card, and once it's played, victory must be guaranteed.

It must never be used casually.

When the audience saw the immunity buff appear on the brave warrior, their pupils contracted in surprise.

How can a human be immune?

A golden light shone in the angel's eyes: "It is pride. This man is the owner of pride."

"Hey, this is really interesting. No wonder Roysterman is ranked alongside him. It seems I'm going to lose this bet." The angel chuckled lightly, while the dog-headed creature beside her remained silent.

Whoosh!

In another instant, the fearless warrior was moved again, this time even further away from the enemy.

"Hiss... The boss said we need to use our brains in battle, use our brains."

"No...it shouldn't be forced displacement."

“I am arrogant and indifferent, and cannot be forcibly moved… If he has the ability to manipulate space, what else can be swapped?”

Whoosh! Invisible spatial lines cut towards the fearless warrior from all directions.

But this time, the brave and fearless completely ignored the attack and charged towards the enemy. If they didn't get closer to the enemy, they would only get further and further away from them. They absolutely couldn't waste the opportunity to intimidate the enemy.

A guess arose in the heart of the fearless warrior: this enemy was directly dividing space and exchanging it.

As the brave warrior charged forward fearlessly, he also glanced out of the corner of his eye at the area where he had just been switched places.

really……

The grass distribution in the two locations is different, and there are obvious breaks in the grass; in one area, the grass has even been swapped.

Its ability to swap positions is probably to directly cut the space between two cubes and then swap their positions.

It's like swapping the positions of two identical blocks when building with blocks; it's the same principle as changing the position of the entire space.

And as something within that space, it was naturally exchanged as well.

This operation is essentially a spatial operation and is therefore unaffected by [Arrogance and Indifference].

"Keep thinking during battle," the fearless warrior repeated Lu Cang's teachings in his heart.

"Use your brain in battle."

"Think about it, if you were the boss, what kind of judgment would you make..."

"The boss said... First, assume you are the enemy. Based on the intelligence you have, if you assume you are the enemy, you can deduce new intelligence."

boom!

The fearless warrior once again relied on his instincts to sidestep and dodge a [Space Cannon].

Although the fearless warrior was still immune, he sensed that if he were hit by this attack, he would be forcibly knocked back, thus taking another step further away from getting close to the enemy.

The brave and fearless sprint at top speed, ignoring ordinary attacks and completely disregarding the blows that land on them.

At the same time, the mindset of a fearless hero continues to circulate.

"If I had that ability, I would definitely launch an attack at the same time as the enemy is in the position that has been switched, so that the enemy would have no way to avoid it."

"The fact that it doesn't do that precisely shows that it can't attack while it's shifting positions."

"The fact that it didn't switch positions continuously means that this ability must have a cooldown period. Based on the frequency with which I was switched multiple times, the cooldown period should be around 3 seconds."

"It keeps moving me to a farther place each time, which means it can't move me to a very far space at once. So, the distance between the spaces is one to two kilometers."

"Before I was swapped, it had a brief opening in its attack, which means that its space swap must have a pre-cast animation."

The brave and fearless mind races with thoughts!

This was the first time he had thought about so many things during a battle.

The more the brave man thinks, the clearer the enemy in front of him becomes, as if he is deconstructing the layers of texture on its body.

The previously unknown superior race no longer seemed so frightening.

Just then, the fearless warrior saw that its third leg on the left trembled slightly.

And at that very moment.

The brave warrior came to an abrupt stop!

Whoosh!

In the next instant, in the space in front of the fearless warrior, the trunk of a tree was switched, and within a kilometer or so behind the fearless warrior, there was a tree missing its lower half of its trunk.

The brave warrior swallowed hard, but soon sprinted at an even faster speed!

The fearless warrior managed a strained smile: "Sorry, I think I've... caught him."
