Chapter 531: Twenty-Four Consecutive Wins, A Grand Opening of Loser Gift Packs |
"Kunlun, you..." Yiyun was stunned, then glared at Wang Kun and snapped angrily, "Why did you provoke him!?"
Wang Kun's face also darkened. "I came here to give you advice—who knew he'd be that stupid!?"
"Advice? Since when are you so kind-hearted?" Yiyun's expression turned sour.
To outsiders, Vast Sky Building seemed incredibly united, but internally, there were conflicts—they just didn't fight to the death over them.
Wang Kun took a light breath and said, "I know you have extensive channels and can even contact the Black Market Merchant. So I wanted to commission you to buy something for me."
"What?" Yiyun asked.
"An invitation to Mad King Building!" Wang Kun spat out those six words. Before anyone could ask further, he continued, "I'm going to Mad King Building—the resources there are truly top-tier!"
The faces of the surrounding Vast Sky Building players all turned sour.
Vast Sky Building was a top-tier third-level dormitory building, with few but elite players and resources that were absolutely first-rate.
A veteran from a third-level dormitory building going to join a zero-level one—just thinking about it felt absurd.
But at the same time, some people's minds began to stir.
Moving into Mad King Building now was basically like snagging initial shares...
Generally, the richer a dormitory building's resources, the more dangerous it was. But Mad King Building's survival rate seemed decent—high-quality to the point of being unrivaled.
This was practically a god-level dormitory building sitting above the best of the best!
...
"Damn it, I was just shooting my mouth off, and now it's really sent me up here! I only bet a single Rare piece of equipment!"
"And my combat power is only 500—I barely meet the threshold!"
"He definitely targeted me because I'm a Vast Sky Building player, thinking my combat ability is decent!"
"What a battle-crazed lunatic!"
In the Vast Sky Building lounge, Kunlun's face was twisted with bitterness.
Despite looking imposing, he had always been someone who followed his heart. When faced with wealth, he indulged; when faced with poverty, he shifted; when faced with power, he bowed; when faced with hardship, he refused to suffer...
Without further hesitation, he stripped off all his equipment, swapped out his Legendary outfit, and changed into a simple shirt.
That way, even if he lost, he'd only drop one or two skills at most.
...
Twenty-three matches of absolute domination, and no one was willing to challenge him anymore. Xu Lang was about to wrap things up when he noticed a Vast Sky Building player suddenly pop up.
He immediately accepted!
Watching Kunlun emerge from the exit, Xu Lang tilted his head.
Were Vast Sky Building players this poorly equipped?
Kunlun was wearing a short shirt and jeans that clearly didn't match his status. Though there was a flicker of battle intent on his face, it was scarce—like he was just going through the motions.
The Eye of Providence in the Coliseum instantly locked onto Kunlun, its crimson beam shattering his mind!
With Xu Lang's off-the-charts stats, the Mind-Shattering Demon Eyes skill had become even more powerful than before.
Crack~
Kunlun heard a shattering sound, as if a crack had appeared in his soul.
Then, a blurry afterimage flashed before him—Kunlun could barely track Xu Lang's movement trajectory!
The Proud Child·Eternal Night King was a piece of clothing with immense practical combat value.
"Hah!"
Kunlun let out a fierce roar as a giant purple dragon head materialized behind him, temporarily suppressing all abnormal status effects.
Boom!
Kunlun sank downward, the ground collapsing beneath him.
The terrain was warped, but Xu Lang's charging speed didn't slow in the slightest.
At the critical moment, Kunlun chose a general direction and threw a straight punch from his waist!
Instantly, wind and thunder erupted, and the purple dragon head shot through the air, turning the fan-shaped ground ahead into dust!
"He's in the sky!"
Kunlun looked up, staring at the dark silhouette in the heavens, his pupils contracting violently.
Though he knew he had almost no chance of winning, once the real fight began, those wavering thoughts were instantly swept into the trash heap.
Now, he stood on high alert, fists sinking into his waist, as two more purple dragon heads appeared behind him.
"Tyrant's Grip!"
Xu Lang suddenly reached out, and a tyrant phantom emerged behind him.
The tyrant spread its palm alongside him, then clenched its fist!
A massive, illusory hand dozens of meters wide materialized around Kunlun, a powerful suction erupting from its palm before the five fingers snapped shut!
Rumble—!!!
Even the elements seemed crushed into molecules at that moment, the explosion roaring throughout the Coliseum!
This was the first time Xu Lang had unleashed the active effect of the Purgatory Armor Set on a human target, and the lethality was incredibly satisfying.
When the dust settled, Kunlun lay collapsed on the ground, drenched in blood.
If he'd had his equipment, he probably wouldn't have ended up so miserable.
Xu Lang descended from the sky, the Purgatory's Master trembling lightly.
"What exactly is inside Mad King Building..." Kunlun wobbled, trying to stand, his eyes meeting Xu Lang's!
The intelligence Vast Sky Building had gathered from Mad King Building players was ultimately just surface-level.
In truth, even the Mad King Building players didn't know why Xu Lang was so strong.
Everyone assumed Xu Lang had obtained some crucial item that let him develop so quickly.
Only Xu Lang knew that his strength came entirely from himself.
"You'll find out when you get there." Xu Lang drew his blade and sheathed it in one swift motion, a crimson sword qi streaking through the air and cleaving through Kunlun's chest.
This guy's physique was pretty tough—he wasn't cut in half, but his internal organs were shattered, and he died moments later.
It was always a regret of Xu Lang's that his sword qi didn't add a Bleeding effect.
To maximize damage, he still had to land a hit up close.
[Iron Blood Coliseum Broadcast—]
[Winner: Xu Lang of Mad King Building. Combat power +13 points!]
Xu Lang felt there was still some time left, but after scanning all the spectators—none of whom stepped forward—he left the Coliseum.
Twenty-four consecutive wins. Xu Lang's final combat power was 5269 points.
If he wanted a qualitative leap in combat power, he'd have to PK the top ten players on the combat power leaderboard. If his power was already in a league of its own, then... he'd probably have to give others time to grow.
...
Xu Lang didn't tally the spoils in the lounge. Instead, he regrouped with Cao Yaxuan and the others, and they left the arena together.
Watching Xu Lang and his group depart, many eyes blazed with battle intent.
There was still so much about Xu Lang that hadn't been uncovered.
That final move he used to crush Kunlun—he'd never shown it before!
To truly defeat Xu Lang wasn't something that could be done overnight. They still needed time to consolidate.
...
Back at Demon King Castle, Xu Lang pulled out all twenty-four loser gift packs.
Rip, rip, rip—he tore through the boxes at a furious pace, and they yielded quite a haul of good stuff.
"I knew that Kunlun guy was a martial arts-style player—give me this Purple Dragon Fist energy!" Han Zhixiu grabbed a skill scroll, her eyes brimming with excitement.
Unbelievably, it was actually a Level 30 Uncommon skill!
For Mad King Building, that was absolutely over-the-top!
"Take it." Xu Lang nodded.
Everyone picked and chose a few items, and Xu Lang stuffed the remaining loot into the storage room, keeping only two things for himself.
