Chapter 438: First trick of Competition Death Wheel
When the other factions saw Cloud Peak members being teleported to the space battlefield, they started to make a move.
Their understanding of the wheel was naturally different from Ye Zhongming's. They saw that many Cloud Peak members still hadn’t entered, so they were relaxed and guessed that these people didn’t need to fight. Thus, they also had thoughts for some protected people not to make their choices at the wheel.
But these people waited a while before the wheel notified them that all level-four and above lifeforms were forced to fight. These made the Soul Merchant and Glory Army heads furious.
Weren’t Lu Yi, Liu Zhengong, and Le Dayuan four-star? Why don’t they have to fight? We had to?
But the wheel wouldn’t explain to them that the person who activated the wheel had pardon names. Facing the choice of fighting or being wiped out, there was only one choice.
“Choose white; it is the simplest. Whoever has useless equipment, hand it to them!”
The people that these factions didn’t want to join in were support jobs. For example, the person who had the skill to teleport the few five-stars evolved up the walls, some jobs that added buffs. These people didn’t have strong solo strength but were very effective if they supported strong fighters. Each one of them was a huge fortune.
Although these factions wouldn’t let these people get all the resources like Cloud Peak did with Park Xiuying, they were respected and nurtured.
If anything happened to these people, the losses would be huge.
Just think about what Cloud Peak would be like without Park Xiuying; one could imagine those losses.
For their safety, the factions told them to select the lowest difficulty. They also gave them many pieces of equipment to help them.
They didn’t know that a noose was tied around their necks if they chose the lowest difficulty in the first stage. When the time was right, it would be tightened.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming naturally selected the red difficulty, even if he was only a ‘four-star’ evolved.
Ye Zhognming was calm on the surface, but a stone in his heart was finally released.
That was because the wheel couldn’t see the strength that he got from the secret techniques!
This meant that he was right in taking this path. He was still far from breaking free from the wheel, but he did have some ability to go against the wheel.
Even if the final path was the same, being played and having the freedom of choice was different.
A black armored human-shaped lifeform holding a giant sword appeared in the arena.
Ye Zhongming looked at it and noticed that it was an undead lifeform.
It was wrapped in thick armor, so he didn’t initially recognize it.
A red light was exposed and charged when it saw Ye Zhongming.
It was three meters tall and had enormous armor and a thick sword the size of a dining table. It put a huge pressure. Moreover, Ye Zhongming saw a red bone color exposed at the side of its helmet.
Monsters that had this bone color were level-six. Little Tiger also previously faced a level-six monster, so it seemed like they weren’t too lucky.
Ye Zhongming saw many of his subordinates choose the red difficulty and faced opponents a level or 1.5 levels above them. After using the potion, they were the same level or half a level higher. Some were two levels higher, but it was rare.
This wheel was very random.
But this level-six wasn’t much of a threat to Ye Zhongming unless it was a strong race like the dragon race. If not, there was nothing they could do to him.
The wheel meant that humans had to challenge mutated lifeforms a level or several levels higher than them so that they could get to the next level. When they got to the next level, their strength would be slightly stronger than those of the same level. Even ordinary evolved were like that, much less people like Ye Zhongming.
He made several rounds around this red-bone warrior to avoid his attacks. Although he nearly injured him when Ye Zhongming fought back, the undead could not resist.
Ye Zhongming didn’t even have a weapon. He used the Scorching Flame Technique and his fists to punch the thick armor. He took a longer time, but he smashed it into pieces of metal. Even the bones were shattered inside.
He wiped his sweat, and his understanding of this secret technique reached a new level.
He won. The moment he teleported out, a reward floated beside him. He grabbed it and reappeared on the platform.
He lowered his head and saw that the reward was a skill scroll. He opened it and closed it again helplessly.
It wasn’t that the reward was bad; it was just useless to him.
“Basic Quick Thurst: Consume mental energy to complete a short dash and deal damage.”
Without Blood Stepping Boots, this ability was decent. But be it quickness or kick, the effects were better than this. So Ye Zhongming thought about it and passed it to Xia Bai.
Her Darkness Spectre job complemented this skill.
He kept the scroll and saw that most people were out. They were all delighted. After all, even if this was the first stage, as they chose a high difficulty, the rewards were quite good too. Moreover, they didn’t use the rewards and waited for Ye Zhongming to distribute them.
Each person’s rewards might not suit themselves, so distributing was better.
When the final battle was over, the light barrier disappeared. Many people sighed after they tabulated the numbers.
Even if they were prepared, accidents might happen. Everyone got white equipment and evolution potions, but over a dozen still failed to come out. They failed their challenge.
But most people survived and were rewarded. While they were sad that their allies were dead, the Cloud Peak warriors were more confident. They would select the yellow difficulty for the next stage and confidently pass it.
She had been very busy, and all the injured soldiers were treated. Only then did she start her fight.
But to her, she rarely fought by herself. She also didn’t have the potions and was a five-star evolved. So she wasn’t very confident.
“You have one more piece of silver equipment, and your mental energy increased greatly; what are you afraid of? Attack!” The influencer was like that; she was afraid of nothing, and her motivational speeches were so direct.
To make Park Xiuying safer, Ye Zhongming gave her an exquisite silver flower crown. Along with her silver staff, apart from Ye Zhongming, she had the best equipment.
“You can have the gun.” Ye Zhongming couldn’t let anything happen to her, so he gave her his crystal energy gun.
But surprisingly, she looked at it for half a day and didn’t accept it.
“Let me do it myself!”
Before others could stop her, she entered the battle space.
The battle stunned everyone, and some of them burst out laughing!
Her battle method was too… Direct!
