The second match began, and it ended exactly as the first match had. Brother Windcloud Nine was once again sent flying by Pale Blue Elegance.
In the first matchup of the Annual Championship, Brother Windcloud Nine had been eliminated!
After that, it was time for the match between Shoot Until Daybreak and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
“Territory Release!”
The battle began, and both combatants released their Territories at the same time. The gold-colored Territory and the purple-colored Territory clashed and then stacked on top of each other.
Shoot Until Daybreak could release a Territory too, and his Territory was just like Li Yi’s.
It was also a gold-colored Chrono Territory!
In one’s Chrono Territory, the user could slow down their opponent’s time and hasten their own time. Depending on the strength of the Territory Power, the degree of the changes would also be adjusted accordingly.
The Territory Tyrant Sword King the Fifth released was purple in color. This was not the faux Territory that came with the Sovereign Equipment Set, but a Territory he had learned himself. Not long ago, he had also been fortunate enough to obtain a Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll, after which he learned a Territory of his own.
The purple Territory was known as the Killing Territory. When the user stood within it, their weapons would shine dazzlingly upon gathering enough Killing Aura. If they attacked their opponent then, they would have a drastically increased Critical Hit rate.
The Chrono Territory specialized in control, whereas the Killing Territory aimed to kill at one go!
“Bzz! Bzz!”
The battle began, and the Purple Quality Sword in Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s hand began to shine brightly. That meant that he had successfully filled it with Killing Aura.
“Charge!”
“Swoosh—”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth turned into a flash and he charged at Shoot Until Daybreak.
“Swoosh—”
Shoot Until Daybreak reacted very quickly as well. Before Tyrant Sword King the Fifth crashed into him, he dodged with Teleport.
“Ghost Arrow!”
“Bang!”
Shoot Until Daybreak drew his bow and a Critical Hit damage figure appeared above Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head.
[−35787]
The bow in Shoot Until Daybreak’s was none other than Yuria’s weapon. The skill he had used was also Yuria’s unique skill, Ghost Arrow.
He just had to draw the bow and the arrow would definitely hit its mark. This was the fastest of all the Archer’s skills.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Shoot Until Daybreak continued to draw his bow, shooting three arrows in an instant. Every single one found its target.
Just then, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s hit recovery ended, and he raised his Purple Quality Sword up high, slashing at the air in the direction of Shoot Until Daybreak, who was 20 yards away.
A blinding white light shot out of the Purple Quality Sword, aimed straight at Shoot Until Daybreak.
The Killing Territory’s Killing Aura could be added to a weapon, but it could also be shot at a faraway target as a ranged attack.
“Killing Light!”
“Pfft!”
Shooting the Killing Light required raising one’s weapon up high, but when the attack was launched, it moved extremely quickly. Shoot Until Daybreak saw the ball of light coming at him and wanted to Teleport away, but he was still too slow. The Killing Light hit him head-on, and a red damage figure of [−135662] appeared above his head. That one blow was enough to lay him flat.
It was a knockout!
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had won!
When Li Yi saw this from the stands, he could not help but shake his head slightly.
He remembered how in the past life, Shoot Until Daybreak had been invincible for a while after learning the Chrono Territory. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had challenged him several times, but never once did Tyrant Sword King the Fifth win.
The next match began, and Shoot Until Daybreak did not even last as long as he did the first time. He could not even dodge Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Charge and was killed with one slash. The whole match lasted all of three seconds…
Following closely behind Brother Windcloud Nine, Shoot Until Daybreak was eliminated humiliatingly.
The third match was Li Yi versus the Phoenix Archer, Drifting Snow.
It was true that Drifting Snow had improved over the past few months.
The punk was always inordinately lucky. He had used the Infusion Scrolls to reinforce his equipment to 3,677 points. This was also how he managed to defeat every opponent in his way and make it into the grand finals.
“Others may fear you, but I don’t. Die, Dark Wing!”
Before the battle even began, Drifting Snow was already pointing at Li Yi with an expression of utmost contempt.
Although his equipment was not something from the Demon God Series, he still managed to get a full Commander’s Set. While it could not compare to Li Yi’s Hall of Fame Set, 3,677 Holy Points was still more than enough for him to stake his place in the competition.
He activated his Territory, Absolute Invincibility, and the white light that covered the surface of his body was a whole half-meter thick. This showed how much his Territory Power had increased. In the past, his protective white light was barely an inch thick.
As long as the protective white light did not disappear, Drifting Snow would stay absolutely invincible. It was precisely thanks to his high Holy Points tally that he dared to talk smack to Li Yi.
Li Yi only smiled in the face of Drifting Snow’s taunts. Wielding his Orange Quality Bow, Li Yi quietly awaited the beginning of the battle.
When Drifting Snow saw that Li Yi was ignoring him, the former waved his hand and summoned his newest pet.
“Aooh aooh—”
There were two hoots from Drifting Snow’s feet, but there was nothing to be seen anywhere around him.
Li Yi’s eyes narrowed.
He knew what pet Drifting Snow had just summoned.
It was the strongest snow ape mutation, the Invisible Snow Ape.
The creature was a primate, one that the naked eye would never be able to see. It had very high ATK but extremely low DEF. Its SPD was shockingly high, making it one of the best pets a Pet Archer could take with them.
Unlike the pets Li Yi had, which were failing to keep up with the meta, the Invisible Snow Ape did not have a maximum level limit. Theoretically, it could be used forever.
“F*ck, an invisible pet?”
“The f*ck, how did he catch it?”
“No way, we really can’t see it?”
The spectators were stunned.
Drifting Snow reveled in the attention. When he heard the gasps from the audience, he could not help but snigger.
“Aooh aooh— Ooh ooh—”
The invisible ape kept hooting. That was its weakness— it could be easily located based on its voice alone.
“This time, I’m going to kill you, and you won’t even know how I did it!”
Five seconds before the match began, Drifting Snow boasted to Li Yi confidently.
The match began, and Li Yi released his Chrono Territory. Drifting Snow could not release his Territory; all he could do was nullify the enemy’s Territory with his own Territory Skill, Absolute Invincibility.
“Stinger Arrow!”
Li Yi raised his hand and shot an arrow at Drifting Snow, who was enveloped in white light.
“Smack!”
The white light around Drifting Snow’s body vanished, and he lay dead on the ground.
It was an instant kill!
“What the f*ck? What the f*ck?” Drifting Snow lay on the floor, still confused.
Li Yi’s arrow hushed up the entire audience.
“Although he lost to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, Dark Wing is still the continent’s Number One Arrow God!”
“That’s just bad*ss. He killed someone with Absolute Invincibility with one shot! Who else but him could do that?”
The results of the match were announced, and Drifting Snow resurrected, standing up. He glared at Li Yi but did not say anything for the longest time.
Finally, Drifting Snow roared, “I have motherf*cking Absolute Invincibility, so how did you hurt me?
“He’s cheating!”
Everyone ignored him, and the officials simply disregarded his false accusation. How could he shamelessly claim that his opponent had cheated just because he lost?
The audience whispered excitedly.
Drifting Snow flew into a rage. “If you don’t give me an explanation, I won’t fight the second round!”
Still everybody ignored him.
“F*ck!”
Drifting Snow flipped Li Yi off, turned around, and jumped off the stage. He had forfeited the match…
Those few seconds were enough for him to know that he was no match for that monster. He did not even know why he had died, so even if he did attempt the next round, it would most likely end the same way. Rather than stay and be humiliated, he would rather end it on his own terms, so he gave up the fight.
“F*****ck~~…”
The whispers among the audience lasted for more than another minute before the ruckus finally began to subside. The way these players saw it, Drifting Snow had embarrassed himself by throwing the match. He would have been better off continuing the battle.
Li Yi left the stage as well. The truth behind his one-shotting Drifting Snow was very simple; he just used the Chrono Territory to hasten the speed at which Absolute Invincibility was running out. With his current level and ATK, it was not surprising at all that he could kill Drifting Snow with one shot.
Drifting Snow’s 3,677 Holy Points did look impressive, but that was relative. Compared to everyone else, he was strong, but compared to Li Yi, he was trash.
Even if Li Yi took off all his equipment and went at him bare-handed, he still had a Rank 3 Territory. That was equal to about 3,000 Holy Points. In that case, was it not a piece of cake to one-shot Drifting Snow, considering that Li Yi was also wearing his Hall of Fame Set and wielding his Orange Quality Bow?
A mere ten minutes later, another pair of contestants took the stage.
It was The Cat that Sings versus Dark God Empyrean South.
“I admit defeat!”
Before the battle even began, Empyrean South had already raised his hand high above his head, readily admitting defeat.
“What the f*ck…”
“The heck is that?”
“F*cker, how could he admit defeat before even fighting?”
The crowd erupted into curses.
Dark God Empyrean South did not look bothered, however, merely giving Sister Cat a friendly smile before he turned around and left the stage.
“F*ck, guess you know what you’re facing.” On the other hand, The Cat that Sings did not pull any punches.
The match ended, and next up were Night Moon and Jiggly.
Compared to the previous few matches, the battles between players this time around ended much faster. In the past, one match could take five to ten minutes, but things were different now. Matches ended in two, three minutes tops, whereas the faster ones were decided in several dozen seconds.
This could be attributed to the advent of Territory Power. It was all thanks to that element that the players saw a huge boost in their Attributes and ATK, greatly reducing the entire process of a battle.
With Territories, unless the two players were of the same Territory rank, all control skills and Abnormal Statuses simply did not work. It would then all come down to pure brute force, so it was no wonder the matches ended quickly.
Once the twelve contestants all completed their first matches, the ones who qualified were announced.
From the Invincible Continent camp, Pale Blue Elegance, Unending Unmatched, Li Yi, and The Cat that Sings all advanced. That was all four of the continent’s contestants.
On the other hand, all of the Ninth Continent’s contestants were wiped out.
As for the Fluttering Snow Continent, only Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Jiggly made it through.
According to the rules of the Championship Finals, it was highly likely that players would encounter opponents from opposing camps in the first round. It was much rarer for players from the same camp to face off against each other. From the second round onward, however, the draw would be completely random, and there would be no more dividing friend from foe.
For the next matchups, Li Yi was to go against The Cat that Sings, Unending Unmatched against Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, and Pale Blue Elegance against Jiggly.
For the first match of the second round, Li Yi went against The Cat that Sings.
“F*ck, how’d I bump into you, you sunnuvab*tch?” The Cat that Sings cocked her head as she looked at Li Yi, swearing her head off.
“If you swear at me again, do you believe me when I say I’ll strip you naked, right here and now?”
“F*ck, I don’t believe you!”
The Cat that Sings vanished using Stealth, and her voice spoke from thin air, “Don’t you dare go easy on me. If you go easy on me like you did with that retard Empyrean South, I’ll f*ck you to death.”
