The Battle in The Preliminaries

The tornado was like a meat grinder. It only made one round in the pile of monsters, and all the creatures that it touched were instantly killed, turning them into light spots before dissipating.

The Lightning Mage next to him was not to be outdone. He waved his hand and summoned a 50 to 60-meter-long purple-blue lightning python. It rushed into the pile of monsters and exploded into a terrifying ball of lightning waves that destroyed all the monsters around it!

Then, the two sides looked at each other and seemed to realize that the other party would not be easy to deal with. So they turned around to deal with other players.

Ling Yi shifted his gaze and used his [Eye of Truth] to scan the monsters present. He realized that they were all level 30.

[Name: Hell Soldier (LV30)]

[Type: Ordinary Monster]

[Attributes: strength 180, mana 60, agility 120, endurance 60, physique 60]

[Skill:…]

[Current Status: 100%]

“What a piece of trash…” Ling Yi said bluntly.

He didn’t know how long it had been since he last saw a monster with two digits of attributes.

Seeing that a bunch of players were still proud of being able to kill those monsters, his frown deepened.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

“Yo, little brother, you’re still in the mood to look left and right on the battlefield?”

Ling Yi turned his head and saw a tall and thin man. He was wearing a light blue robe and his face looked quite slim.

When he looked over, the latter returned his gaze with a glare, and a green light flashed in his eyes.

[You are immune to Agof’s [Eye of Silence].]

Then, the man named Agof laughed and charged at him.

Ling Yi didn’t even move. He just watched as his wind killed the man.

“…”

In fact, it was not only Agof. Some of the players who saw him standing there as if nothing had happened also began to attack him, but they were all killed by him with his wind.

‘This is clearly a survival tournament. Why aren’t they using their strength to kill the monster, but to fight other players instead?’

Ling Yi didn’t quite understand their actions.

However, he didn’t think so much at the moment. He just waved his hand and summoned the strong wind between heaven and earth to blow from east to west.

Whoosh—!

Whether they were on the ground or in the air, whether it was a monster or a player, all units that could be damaged were instantly killed!

“That wind is strange! Quickly run!”

Some players had noticed the strange wind’s danger, but their speed could not outrun the encompassing wind.

One by one, they were caught up, and before they could even scream, their bodies disappeared into thin air as if they were wiped out.

Many of them didn’t even know how they died.

“Eh? Why did I suddenly come back?”

They would have thought that the pre-match had ended early if it wasn’t for the notification in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, all the players within tens of kilometers of Ling Yi, regardless of whether they were level 90 or 99, normal or invincible, were killed in an instant!

Of course.

It would have taken time for his winds to attack from one end of his perception range to the other. But he only needed to create gales in the entire perception range to attack all enemies within the area at the same time.

His current perception range was 1,374 kilometers!

However…

Even if he had more than 10,000 physical strength, it was difficult for him to create a wind that covered more than 1,000 kilometers at the same time — the consumption of creating elements was far more than using Skills.

As such, his wind element attacks were actually spread out layer by layer from the inside.

“Aish. Too weak.”

As Ling Yi flew towards the west, he crossed his arms and shook his head. ‘I was planning to use a few Starfalls to finish them off, but now that I can kill them in seconds, it’s a waste to use the Skill.’

His flying speed wasn’t that fast, only a little over 100 kilometers per second.

However, even at this speed, he should be able to circle the red planet in a few minutes.

…..

At the same time, right beside the red planet, on a dirt-yellow planet…

The level 89 Nangong Li had just wiped out a group of players who had gathered to kill her because she was too powerful. She stood on the huge rock and looked around. Seeing that no one dared to come close, she heaved a sigh of relief.

‘It’s a good thing that Ling Yi helped me increase my abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to last up to this moment.’

Thinking of this, she raised her head again and looked at the red planet on the other side of the blue sky.

“He’s probably using his undefeatable Skills right now, hehe,”

After a short battle, Nangong Li now had a basic understanding of the players from other worlds.

Their average strength was indeed much stronger than Earth’s players, but not by much. At the end of the day, the level 89 players in the outside world were just like them, still in the midst of development.

Meanwhile, the players in the 90s were obviously not much stronger.

‘If they met that man…’

Shaking her head, Nangong Li collected her thoughts and swept her red eyes across the battlefield.

She didn’t shiver with the others. Instead, she turned into a Golden Phoenix and flew above the clouds.

She wanted to find other Earth players to protect. As long as more players from her realm could last until the end, the more points they would gain!

Two minutes later.

In a vast valley that was sandwiched between two mountain ranges, Nangong Li saw the Green Dragon emissary, Guan Yue, who was being pushed back by other strong cultivators.

She was stunned at the sight of her friend but quickly shook herself out to swoop down and help.

Whoosh!

The middle-aged man with a pair of bull horns, who was about 2.5 meters tall, was holding a big machete and speeding up the pursuit under the influence of the Skill [Fanatical Attack]. Under the influence of the passive Skill [Danger Perception], he quickly sensed the incoming danger.

He didn’t stay a second longer and quickly retreated to avoid the Golden Phoenix’s attack.

*Sizle*

The flames that fell to the ground spread in all directions, burning the land. The shocking heat wave made the horned man frown slightly.

“An expert has arrived.”

He looked at the golden-haired red-eyed woman who had walked out of the flames, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his orange-yellow round eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally said, “There’s no benefit in wasting energy on a strong person.”

With that, the horned man turned around and flew away.

After he left, Gaun Yue heaved a long sigh of relief.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and revealed a relaxed smile at Nangong Li, who was walking towards her, “It’s a good thing you’re here, or I’d have to leave the stage first.”

“Didn’t you just reach the invincible level a few days ago? Is that guy also one?” Nangong Li asked.

“Yes. Not only is he at the invincible level, but he’s also very powerful… He’s almost as strong as Sun Tian.”

“No wonder,”

Nangong Li nodded and chuckled, “I’ve seen quite a few players from different races along the way. The Wolfman, the Miniman, Foxman, and now I’ve even seen the Tauren race.”

“I didn’t expect God’s Path to actually consider these people as humans.”

“It’s a good thing that they’re not that much stronger than us.” Guan Ye smiled.

“Yup,”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they flew toward the other side of the mountain range. In the air, Guan Yue couldn’t help but sigh as she thought about what had happened a few minutes ago.

Nangong Li saw that her best friend was a little worried and immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Guan Ye shook her head. “It’s just that after I enter the invincible stage, I’m not as threatening as you. I feel a little helpless.”

“Oh… Uh… That guy might have left because he didn’t want to face two enemies at the same time. It’s probably not because I’m stronger than you.”

“He already said you’re an expert, so he retreated because of your strength.”

“Mm…”

Nangong Li quickly used her brain to think, and her eyes immediately lit up. “The reason why I’m so strong now is large that I’m riding on Ling Yi’s coattails. You’re different. You’ve achieved this through your own growth and hard work. You should be proud of that.”

Her words worked, and Guan Yue’s low mood was lifted.
