Chapter 20 - The Thunderous Versus the Fitness Exercise (1/2)
Area eleven, Arena eleven never really received much attention, but today it was far more lively than usual.
It wasn’t easy to become famous in this global battle network. The player base was over ten billion, so there were all sorts of odd fights and all kinds of spectacular fights. It wasn’t that attention-drawing for a Shaolin Arhat Fist user to win two fights.
People would rather watch the fights of top rankers and other high level experts over a fighter of the Shaolin Arhat Fist and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. Fierce scenes such as those weren’t things that could happen in two-star fights.
The main reason that this fight drew a lot of attention was because it was likely interesting. It was being carried out in the free area. The audience was made up of people who liked free things, as well as….
“Glowing Child? So, even you came.”
“One Sword, aren’t you here as well?” The one who spoke was none other than Glowing Child of the Wind, the expert who had sent Qin Fen a message after seeing the video on the forums.
Though some two-star experts in real life didn’t care for the rankings on the battle network, it was still an extremely difficult task to be able to enter the top hundred powerful two-stars in this global competition.(You’re reading Novel “The Favored Son of Heaven”on novelhall.com)
“Oh right, congrats.” Glowing Child of the Wind, a warrior donned in gold, had his eyebrows shoot up, “You snatched this month’s War God.”
War God. This was a title on the Sky Martial Battle Network. Every month, a fighting arena was set up on each and every level. People had infinite lives here to engage in fights of mutual slaughter. There was a time limit of three hours. Each kill granted one an elimination point. Each death lost one an elimination point. Whoever had the most elimination points when time ran out would become the War God.
The system would then issue special lighting effects upon the winner—A body bound in lightning and thunder! At the same time, those who became this round’s War God would receive considerable rewards.
Of course, taking part in the War God competition wasn’t free. There was a ten dollar admission fee. For the sake of the title and the accompanying rewards, many people would choose to enter the competition. First place got the title War God, while second place got the title War Saint. It was a labyrinth of an arena, filled with chaotic warfare where people didn’t necessary fight one-on-one. It really was a crazy battlefield where one could meet famous experts. And those famous experts would often find themselves surrounded and besieged by many. Therefore, there was always uncertainty as to who would obtain the title of War God.
“Luck. It was just luck,” One Sword Shocks the Gods said modestly, but he was unable to conceal the delight on his face. He had seized the title War God in such chaotic circumstances. It really wasn’t easy.
Glowing Child of the Wind smiled gently, no longer spiraling down the topic of War God. Instead, he watched Qin Fen within the arena with great interest. “I really want to exchange blows with him.”
“Global War Encore isn’t a weakling,” One Sword Shocks the Gods’s confidence was much greater than normal after seizing the title of War God. “Don’t look at how his battle record doesn’t rank him in the top one hundred. His strength is much stronger than those trash in the top one hundred who just grinded out the numbers. I fought him before. It was a narrow victory.”
Qin Fen didn’t have the time to observer the situation with the audience. He locked his complete attention onto Global War Encore’s body. His body exuded a cold and sharp sword aura the moment he appeared, and the two thunderous swords revolved up and down around his body in a nimble dance. He was completely different from the people Qin Fen faced before. He was completely different from Regal Propria.
“Activating the anti-cheat device…. Both parties, please get ready….”
The anti-cheat device specifically suppressed one’s strength for competition. It was a special item that activated when one suddenly exceeded the level of strength set for the fight, especially during critical moments of battle.
“Fight!”
The announcer’s voice rang out, declaring the start of the fight, and Global War Encore instantly flew back in retreat. His two thunderous swords were truly akin to lightning beneath the night sky. They revolved and spun around his body at high speeds, covering his entire body tightly. He feared a sudden attack from Qin Fen.
