Chapter 230-3: Born A Warrior, Battle, Hell Yeah! (3) |
He had watched the Lunar Eclipse race’s recent Monster World Special Briefing.
After understanding the situation of the Green Wood race, he realized that the Giant Brute race’s racial welfare easter egg was being gradually activated in the game, at least in his case.
The night wind brushed his face, bringing a trace of coolness.
Phase Kill’s gaze pierced the city lights and saw farther away.
The aftertaste of battle still echoed within him, but his thoughts had already drifted to another world.
He turned to the game pod and pressed the start button.
In reality he had already ascended to the new-generation pinnacle of the Bloodslaughter City Fighting League, but the journey in the other world had only just begun.
Before long, Phase Kill’s figure appeared in the Colorful Mist Coast space.
He summoned the forum interface. The photo album on his personal homepage recorded his campaigns in Monster World.
There were many player messages on his personal homepage asking for information.
After replying to a few familiar players, Phase Kill opened his friends’ chat group.
[Battle Unceasing (394 players online)]
Flame Fist: (video clip) This move from my arena opponent is too savage. It made me shut down on the spot. Any big brothers in the group come crack it. I want to improve again.
Shadow Blade: I have been studying the synergistic effect of vitality flow and muscle power output recently. I found that if you compress Vital Qi into the fist edge at the instant of punching, the burst power can be increased quite a bit, but such sudden compression of Vital Qi also puts a load on the body. If the body is not strong enough, you will take health loss unless you have extremely strong control.
Berserker @Shadow Blade: Consider Brain Overclocking. It brings you an extreme control experience. (mischievous.jpg)
Shadow Blade: Do not mention Brain Overclocking. That thing is pure trash used by sissies. Vital Qi is number one under heaven. In this life I have no fate with Brain Overclocking.
One Punch Requiem: What kind of crooked thing is Brain Overclocking. That inherited soul has always been bottom tier in my eyes. If not for cultivating combat techniques, I would not even want to embed Qi Eater. The only strongest inherited souls in my eyes are Gargoyle and Unyielding. Sanctifying the flesh is the true path. Spellcasters are all heretics.
Kill Kill Kill Kill: Brothers, has anyone studied techniques for predictive counterattacks. I recently encountered a speed-type monster during exploration. Normal blocks are simply too late, so I can only rely on prediction.
Phase Kill: The technique of prediction is to observe the opponent’s opening motions, such as slight shoulder movement or a shift in center of gravity. Same for monsters. Before launching an attack, the muscles will inevitably change in advance. I generally react 0.3 seconds before the opponent attacks.
Muscle Hunk: 0.3 seconds. No wonder you are the group’s record boards big shot. Your reactions are fierce. I generally only realize the opponent has probably launched an attack when the fist hits my face and the target of the strike is my face. (Explorer awkward head scratch.jpg)
Kill Kill Kill Kill: I just tank it. Anyway I have thick health. (Dirt Poor with a bruised and swollen face.jpg)

The group chat content made Phase Kill burst into hearty laughter.
Everyone in the group were battle enthusiasts who exchanged and studied combat experience there every day.
These brothers could be called model workers of the player legion.
Every day they waited like clockwork at the edge of the Colorful Mist Coast for the aircraft, hoping to board the Ancient God Arena and clash with strong enemies.
Besides the group he was in, many other arena enthusiasts had formed their own discussion groups.
The scale of this community grew gradually with the increase in the number of players.
Their livestream rooms were also very popular. Besides players sent to the little black room, many guests came to watch.
After glancing at the time, Phase Kill used the teleportation array to arrive in the Emperor’s Mound Mountain Range region.
The bustle of the Colorful Mist Coast is along the beach, with few players at the spatial node, while the bustle of Emperor’s Mound Village is inside the space.
This is also the only spatial node with functional buildings, regarded by players as the main city among the five spatial nodes.
Arriving at Emperor’s Mound Village, Phase Kill summoned the map and headed straight for the Weapon Forging Room.
His stock of sacrificial power had now reached 27,000, enough to craft a basic weapon.
As a fighter, in terms of weapon shape he preferred gauntlets that better suited his combat style.
For weapon resonance traits, he referred to weapon templates posted by forum research-party players.
He chose Dragonblood Gold as the primary material, with Gale Particles and Armor Breaking Particles as the inlaid enchantment particles. A level 2 weapon with 16 slots could combine into the weapon resonance trait ‘Wind Pressure.’
The effect slightly increases attack speed and attack damage, and also enhances the effect of Gale Particles.
Spending 26,000 to complete the weapon, Phase Kill walked out of the Weapon Forging Room with a silver pair of fingerless gauntlets on his left and right hands.
He summoned the shop interface, restocked his potions, then glanced at the time.
He decisively summoned the vehicle ‘hoverboard’ and went to the Emperor’s Mound Village teleport point.
Five minutes later, Phase Kill’s figure appeared at the beach of the Colorful Mist Coast.
Dawn was breaking, and a large crowd had already gathered along the shore.
Seeing Phase Kill arrive, players of all races greeted him.
One Human player came up at this moment and teased.
“Brother Phase, when are you getting promoted to Champion Fighter.”
“There will surely be a chance in this lifetime, perhaps even to surpass the Ancient Gods.” Phase Kill answered with extreme seriousness.
“Brother Phase Kill, I watched last night’s match. Congrats on taking the championship. Remember to post guide videos frequently these days. We are counting on your guides to improve our skills.” A Night Demon player shouted loudly.
“Okay.” Phase Kill smiled and nodded.
As they chatted, the red sun gradually rose at the horizon.
When the shuttle marker appeared on the map, all the players turned their eyes to the far edge of the sea, their moods growing excited.
“The shuttle is coming. I wonder which lucky warriors will embark on the path of glory today. Let’s wait and see. If you get picked, remember to start your stream.” Someone in the crowd shouted.
As they waited, a craft appeared at the horizon and flew toward the Colorful Mist Coast at extreme speed.
“Vital Qi, on.”
Boom.
A player suddenly activated the Vital Qi inherited soul, his body shrouded in a crimson airflow.
The other players activated Vital Qi one after another.
This process was like flexing muscles, wanting the shuttle’s operator to see their strength and thereby increase their chances of being chosen.
Other races avoided the Ancient God Arena shuttle like the plague, but players flocked to it.
With players’ current strength, going meant guaranteed profit.
Phase Kill also activated the Vital Qi trait at this time. Crimson ripples spread beneath his feet like a blooming crimson flower.
Power surged within him like a volcano. The thin martial robe on his body billowed from the crimson airflow, revealing explosive muscle lines.
Before long, the craft hovered above the Colorful Mist Coast, suspended over the beach.
Several traction cables gleaming with metallic light shot from the bottom of the craft like spirit serpents and precisely coiled around several players.
One of the traction cables wound around Phase Kill, who had also activated Vital Qi. The crimson Vital Qi collided with the cable’s energy field, sparking tiny flashes.
Phase Kill did not resist, letting the cable wrap his abdomen and yank him sharply toward the craft’s underside.
“Hahaha, I got it. Stream is live. Brothers, watch me streak wins and get ready to grab sacrificial-power red packets in the group.”
“Ascending. It is finally my turn. I feel great.”
“Battle, hell yeah, the Heavenly Ladder campaign begins.”
The chosen players laughed aloud in midair. Looking down at the disappointed faces below, they laughed even louder.
After the chosen players were taken away, the arena flight zone flickered and vanished from above the Colorful Mist Coast.
The remaining players cursed under their breath, then dispersed.

Two hours later.
Having arrived at the Ancient God Arena, Phase Kill was teleported to the duel ring on the first layer of the Heavenly Ladder: the Giant Serpent Ring.
The ring on this layer was shaped like a coiled giant serpent. Its head reared high, and its body circled the ring once. The center was a vast circular dueling ground.
At this moment, a spatial spirit pattern surfaced on the ground not far in front of him, and a figure appeared.
The opponent who arrived had a slender build, wore garments made of beast hide, had dark purple skin, narrow sharp eyes, and blue pupils like two cold flames, exuding a chilling murderous intent.
Yet Phase Kill still saw a trace of fear at the bottom of the opponent’s eyes.
This fear was clearly of the Ancient God Arena, not of him.
He scanned with Analysis, and information surfaced in his mind.
[Black Rider (Dusk Rider race)]
Hunt Level: 39.
Target Introduction: A warrior of the Dusk Rider force that descended on the Death Sea region, possessing fairly comprehensive combat techniques.

After reading the analysis, Phase Kill’s body sank slightly like a beast gathering to pounce.
All his muscles tensed in an instant, every fiber excited for the imminent battle.
His gaze locked on the Black Rider not far away, his eyes as sharp as blades.
“Barely enough to warm up.”
Phase Kill muttered, the desire for battle in his eyes fully ignited.
