It's over, it's all over!
[How could Jiang Yan be so ungrateful? He not only ate their messenger bird, but also provoked them.]
He's a sinner to the entire star system! He could have earned a lot of points.
Sigh, young people are so arrogant and ignorant; they get a little opportunity and become overconfident...
I've lost all motivation to pick up trash; it's really affecting my monthly salary of 2500.
[...]
Countless comments flooded the screen, and even previously optimistic ordinary people started cursing.
Just because...
"I choose to avoid war."
In the trial space, a lord from Starfield 079 spoke with a humiliated expression.
He wouldn't mind fighting to the death if there was even the slightest chance of winning, but in a situation where defeat was certain.
We have to consider reality; at least avoiding war will allow us to retain some points.
Lord Blackbreath wins, gaining 15 points.
"Tch, coward."
Hei Chi smiled dismissively and returned to the island.
"Damn it, they've only been developing for a year longer than us, why are they so arrogant?"
"Exactly, if you're so capable, go and challenge Boss Jiang."
The lords of Starfield 079 protested.
"continue."
On the other side, Black Rock said calmly, gesturing for the next person to step forward and challenge.
"You, the one who shouted the loudest, come out here."
The lord of Starfield 063 arrogantly beckoned and issued a challenge: "If you have the guts, accept; if not, shut your mouth and send over your points."
The challenged lord's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists tightly.
He gritted his teeth and said only when the countdown to the end of all realms was almost over:
"I choose to avoid war."
Lord Blackvine wins, gaining 15 points.
"Turns out he's a coward too."
A burst of laughter erupted from Starfield 063.
The 079 star system fell silent.
In this situation, saying anything more will only bring shame upon oneself.
"Next."
"Avoid war."
...
The scores on the leaderboard kept fluctuating, and soon after more than 200 people challenged, the 063 star region's score was overtaken, while the 079 star region was at the bottom.
"Alright, that's all. The rest is up to you."
Hei Yan felt somewhat comforted looking at the points leaderboard.
As the first challenger, he chose opponents with 30 points each, which, combined with his own points, basically secured his first place.
Although they lost the reward for the first round, they won the championship without using any of their trump cards, so it's a respectable achievement.
[The challenge in Star Sector 063 has ended, and the challenge time for Star Sector 066 has commenced.]
With the prompts from all realms, the people on the other island showed expressions of excitement.
"Choose the 30-point and 29-point challenges freely."
"The leader of Starfield 066 said helplessly."
Since the opponent is determined to play the coward, we can only pick the ones with the higher scores.
"Avoid war."
"A lord from Starfield 079 said blankly."
Although it was expected, the reality still shattered the Dao hearts of these geniuses from their respective civilizations.
"Tch, boring. What a bunch of cowards, even more cowardly than goblins."
Soon, with the fight avoided, the challenge involving more than two hundred people came to an end.
The real-world spectator channels were filled with curses; such a humiliating defeat was simply unacceptable.
Meanwhile, high-ranking officials in some civilizations have already begun to make urgent arrangements for countermeasures.
At this rate, the erosion level will increase by at least 1.5 points, which would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster.
Meanwhile, the challenge progress has reached the third star sector, 064.
Arlando squinted at the points rankings on the horizon.
At this point, the 30 and 29 points had been basically eliminated by the first two parties, and the three parties had signed a non-aggression pact.
To win, you must prevent your opponent from avoiding battle and ensure they gain all the points.
Thinking of this, he silently transmitted his thoughts to several powerful lords.
A lord who had passed the Hero-level test nodded in understanding and stepped forward.
His gaze swept around for a moment before settling on the Ninth Prince, Luo Chen.
"Hey kid, I heard you're a prince from the 079 Star Region's suzerain state. You can't be hiding from the fight like those cowards, can you? There are countless people watching outside."
Upon hearing this, the people from the other two star regions frowned slightly, as this behavior somewhat violated the unspoken rules.
However, since they are now allies, it's not really appropriate to say anything.
Luo Chen's expression suddenly darkened.
The other party is right. Everyone else can avoid fighting, but he, as a member of the Starry Sky Royal Family, cannot. Even if he dies, he must die standing.
He turned to look at Jiang Yan and asked seriously, "Sis... Boss Jiang, can we win?"
Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback, then slowly nodded: "We can win."
"Then I'm relieved."
Luo Chen let out a long sigh and said calmly, "I accept."
Two beams of light descended from the sky, transferring both sides to the central arena.
This is the first time it has been used since the second stage began.
An invisible light curtain separated the two sides.
On one side were nearly 5,000 silver-level stone statue imps and dozens of gold-level first-tier stone statue giants.
On the other side were thousands of golden fifth to tenth-tier Windwing Mantises.
They are both top-tier members of the upper-class clans, but there is a huge difference in their ranks.
A moment later, the light screen disappeared.
Both of them began casting support spells.
Lord Skill: War Speed-Up
Lord Skill: Unyielding Spirit
Lord Skill: Unbreakable...
"kill!"
With the support of auxiliary skills, both armies launched an attack simultaneously.
Within the arena, which is only three kilometers in diameter, tactics and strategies are meaningless; only bloodshed matters!
The Golden Tier 10 Windwing Mantises were clearly faster, dodging the Stone Giant's heavy punches and unleashing a barrage of wind blades.
This ranged attack, condensed from wind elements, was originally countered by the thick-skinned stone giants, but due to the level disadvantage, it still caused enormous damage. Almost instantly, half of the giants' bodies were blown away.
At this moment, the stone statue imps also arrived at the battlefield. They shot out beams of petrifying light from afar, but the agile flying mantises dodged them.
Only a few unlucky ones were petrified and fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.
Taking advantage of the Stone Statue Imps' skill cooldown, these Windwing Mantises quickly rushed into the Stone Statue Imps' formation and launched a close-quarters battle.
The sharp scythes easily tore through the opponent's body, while the stone statue imps' claws, being a whole level lower, were unable to pose a fatal threat and were knocked down like raindrops.
This was a one-sided massacre.
"Is this all the prince of the suzerain state of Starfield 079 is capable of? He's no good." The lord of Starfield 064 mocked from afar.
Watching the two sides locked in a fierce battle, Luo Chen expressionlessly sheathed his longsword, replaced it with a black staff, and began chanting a spell.
An invisible ripple linked him to the remaining thousands of stone statues and lesser demons.
Curse spell - Fatal Link.
The effect is to cause linked targets to suffer the same damage as the primary target for a short period of time, up to a maximum of 1000 targets.
It is usually used to deal with groups of enemies, but this time, he chose to release himself and his clan as the targets.
The Lord of Starfield 064 was startled: "Curse Mage? Aren't you a Spellsword Master?!"
"Idiot, everyone has a secret weapon when they're out and about."
Luo Chen smiled dismissively and waved his staff to unleash a spell once more.
Curse spell - Increased damage.
Release your goals, yourself.
This is a spell that increases the damage taken by the target. The smaller the number of people affected, the greater the increase, up to a maximum of ten times.
"You're insane! Come back!"
The lord of Starfield 064 finally understood what the other party was going to do and hurriedly called for his kin to retreat.
"It's too late, let's die together."
Luo Chen's expression turned crazed as he unhesitatingly ignited the source of magic power within his body.
boom!
