Chapter 295: Chapter 159: Surrender! The God-Hunting Group’s New Member! (Part 2)

But the current situation is that, after Ye Mingqiu activated Tyrant Form, he seemed to have an extremely high abnormal status resistance, directly becoming immune to his poison.

Damn it!

Let’s try to buy some time and see if I can outlast his state. If he becomes weak after the state ends, I might have a real chance of winning.

...

"Hah!!"

The War Tyrant let out a deep, thunderous growl. The Blood Spear danced in his hand, its afterimages transforming into a raging, blood-colored storm. Each sweep and thrust carried a terrifying force as if it could tear through space, accompanied by a continuous thunderous sound as it sliced through the air.

Relying on his clever movement and superior agility traits, Qing Yu maneuvered deftly through the gaps of destruction, dodging each attack and looking for openings to launch a precise attack at vital points.

But the effect was unsatisfactory. The War Tyrant’s life force was too robust; Qing Yu could barely inflict any substantial damage, merely causing superficial scratches.

’Should I use that move?’

After another dodge, Qing Yu felt the breath of death brush past his cheek, glanced up at the sky of the arena, and silently pondered.

Besides Time Acceleration, he had other aces up his sleeve, but the question was, while wielding a Dark Gold Level dagger, could he successfully kill the Tyrant? If not, revealing his trump card would be disadvantageous.

Sigh! If he could, he wouldn’t want to launch a big attack after the opponent entered Tyrant Form.

But the issue was, the Divine Monarch had been observing this Tyrant Form for more than ten minutes and showed no signs of retreat or weakness. In fact, the accuracy and precision of his combat seemed to be improving!

He was getting stronger!

Who the hell could withstand this!

More importantly, this high-intensity, high-precision battle also took a tremendous toll on his energy. He could still hold on for a while, but after some time, he might not be able to react, facing inevitable death sooner or later.

Sigh!

Anyway, I’ve already shown my hand. Actively conceding won’t make me look bad; after all, this is just a placement match, not the final ladder ranking.

No need, no need.

Rather than stubbornly continuing the fight and getting instantly killed by this monster due to a misstep, it was better to admit defeat gracefully, allowing for a dignified exit.

Thinking this, Qing Yu quickly distanced himself from the War Tyrant and said, "I concede."

The War Tyrant paused his actions, not immediately believing Qing Yu, but waiting for confirmation from the Spirit Realm. Without the Spirit Realm’s confirmation, he wouldn’t trust his opponent’s surrender; this was a quality expected of a Spiritualist.

[Tip: Qing Yu has conceded]

[Battle Victory]

[Your ranking has risen to 18th in the Celestial Ladder]

"...."

The battle ended, and the War Tyrant returned to his original human form. Ye Mingqiu silently watched Qing Yu, an unusual light flickering in his eyes.

Although Qing Yu had conceded, Ye Mingqiu didn’t consider his victory complete. Qing Yu’s gaze clearly indicated he had more cards to play, which he didn’t use because it wasn’t worth it for a placement match, so he chose to concede.

’I didn’t hit him even once.’

Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

Suddenly, a wave of negativity spread through his heart. Facing a Level 9 Legendary Spiritualist, he felt like a beast being toyed with, unable to land a single effective blow, getting slashed countless times instead, nearly dying at the start.

I’m still too weak; my agility stats are too low. If my agility were a bit higher, would the outcome be somewhat different?

Sigh!

[Tip: Your Long Weapon Specialization Level has increased to Level 6]

[Tip: You have attained enlightenment in Short Weapon Specialty]

After the battle, as Ye Mingqiu reviewed the fight in his mind, the Spirit Realm’s upgrade notification sounded. The recent battle furthered his understanding of the Battle Spear and also gave him a basic grasp of the dagger’s attack mode, mastering a new specialty.

He returned to the arena’s spectators’ seats, crossing his hands in front of him, continuing to review and summarize the various experiences gained during the battle, attempting to deduce more combat techniques and areas for optimization.

Only by constantly reflecting, reviewing, and learning can the growth rate of combat specialty levels accelerate.

....

On the other hand

Ge Wu approached Qing Yu and then said, "Qing Yu, your loss wasn’t in vain."

"Oh? You have inside information."

Qing Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ye Mingqiu, at Level 4, already possessed such extraordinary combat power, with tremendous life and defense, not to mention abnormally strong combat instinct, seemingly growing stronger as he fought, and his Tyrant Form was overpowered, which was not typical for a regular Spiritualist.

Thus, he personally believed there must be some unknown secret behind the Divine Monarch.

"100,000 Spiritual Points."

"Agreed."

"Transfer it immediately."

"Alright."

Qing Yu agreed quite readily, a reflection of both his financial confidence and his trust in his own ability and influence. He personally believed that anyone foolish enough to offend him for the mere 100k Spiritual Points shouldn’t be stepping onto this top stage of the Celestial Ladder Arena.

[Tip: Received 100k Spiritual Points transfer]

With the Spiritual Points received, a smile slowly appeared on Ge Wu’s face, as he said, "Actually, the Divine Monarch’s true level wasn’t originally Level 4."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"He got entangled with cursed equipment and, after paying a huge price, fulfilled a condition of symbiosis, where level might have been one of the conditions. So, although he appears to be Level 4 on the surface, he can’t be regarded as an ordinary Spiritualist," Ge Wu explained.

"Cursed equipment? What type?"
