King of Assassins-Chapter 872 - 626: Tension_4

The opponent realized something was wrong, but couldn't make any effective response in that moment.

Gao Xuan's arm shield delivered three consecutive strikes, all hitting the opponent's face armor. The impact force from the electromagnetic shield smashed the opponent's helmet to pieces. The person instantly turned into light and disappeared.

Gao Xuan gestured a "five" with his hand toward the outside of the arena.

Yuan Youyuan, who was watching, looked at the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor on Gao Xuan in surprise. He had only had this thing for three days, and he had already refined the seed rune of the Holy Armor and could maneuver it with ease?

Yuan Youyuan was truly astonished; the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor was the strongest armor at the Seventh Grade Level.

Normally, it would take at least one or two months to barely control armor of this grade. To master its use proficiently would require at least one or two years.

Because the runes of the Holy Armor were extremely complex, to operate the armor smoothly required fully mastering the rune seed. This involved the level of the Divine Soul and was exceptionally refined and complex.

Gao Xuan had mastered the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor in just three days and wielded it so skillfully and smoothly.

His application of the electromagnetic shield was even more exquisite.

Yuan Youyuan couldn't help but want to sigh; as a genius, she actually didn't acknowledge anyone else in her heart.

She got close to Gao Xuan not because she thought he was particularly strong, but because of her premonition about the future.

Yuan Youyuan originally thought she was definitely not inferior to Gao Xuan. The real difference between her and Gao Xuan was age. After all, Gao Xuan was nearly ten years older than her.

But now seeing this, Gao Xuan's talent was truly astonishing. Compared to Gao Xuan, she seemed to fall short by a lot, which left her somewhat dejected.

No wonder Gao Xuan boasted; with the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor in his hands and wielding it so exquisitely, he really might achieve ten consecutive victories.

Yuan Youyuan glanced at the points, having achieved five successive victories, and her points had increased from a thousand to over six thousand three hundred.

Unfortunately, she bet on ten consecutive victories. She had to wait for Gao Xuan to achieve ten consecutive victories before she could claim her points.

According to the arena's competition system, achieving ten consecutive victories would result in points doubling twice. If Gao Xuan really managed ten consecutive victories, wouldn't she earn thirty or forty thousand points?

With this thought, Yuan Youyuan felt both nervous and excited.

Thirty or forty thousand points could even exchange for a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Artifact, including some special resources.

She was indeed valued by her family, but, with so many family members, as a girl, she ultimately faced many limitations regarding resources.

She had a Sixth-Grade Spiritual Artifact, which was left by her father and was her most important artifact. But due to her cultivation level, she could only barely manage it.

If she could obtain the Moon Spirit Pearl to refine her Divine Soul and artifacts, her level would be entirely different.

Several tens of thousands of points were enough to exchange for three Moon Spirit Pearls, more than sufficient for her needs.

Yuan Youyuan placed the bet earlier merely to show her respect for Gao Xuan. After all, a thousand points couldn't achieve much.

Now, however, things were different; with the hope of victory, Yuan Youyuan became worried and restless.

According to the arena's competition system, the more consecutive victories Gao Xuan obtained, the stronger his opponents would become.

Fortunately, Gao Xuan was very formidable, and the Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Holy Armor was indeed powerful.

Especially in Gao Xuan's hands, he manipulated the electromagnetic shield with great flair.

Successive four opponents had all been swiftly defeated by Gao Xuan.

Meanwhile, the number of spectators was steadily increasing.

As the host of the room she created, Yuan Youyuan could see the exact number of spectators in the room.

By the time Gao Xuan achieved nine consecutive victories, the number of spectators had surpassed five thousand.

This was an exceptionally impressive number of spectators for the arena.

Most people came to the arena to hone their martial skills and cultivation; generally, no one had time to watch others fight.

After all, in cyberspace, the power consumed is Divine Soul Power, and a person's online time is limited. Normal people would use every available moment to deal with their own matters.

Only a select few important battles would draw an audience. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Gao Xuan, too, was achieving consecutive victories, and his rank in the arena was rising rapidly. On top of that, the opponents beaten by Gao Xuan would also bring others to watch his battles.

Thus, more and more people gathered.

These spectators were also very interested, wanting to see if Gao Xuan could achieve ten consecutive victories.

It's not hard to win ten matches, but achieving ten consecutive victories is difficult. The matchmaking rules of the arena focus on balance. They won't let someone suffer consecutive defeats, nor will they allow consecutive victories.

Among the over five thousand spectators present, none had achieved the accomplishment of ten consecutive victories. Precisely because of this, they were particularly interested in it.

After Gao Xuan achieved nine consecutive victories, the opponent for the tenth match was bound to be extremely formidable.

Standing in the arena, Gao Xuan could also see that there were many more spectators in the stands below. But through the translucent light screen, he couldn't clearly see how many there were.

After the nine consecutive victories, the system remained silent for quite a while.

Gao Xuan waited almost ten minutes before a figure appeared on the arena.

As the swirling light and shadow condensed, the true appearance of the person on the other side was revealed.

The earthy yellow battle armor appeared extremely heavy, and the face behind the transparent face armor also appeared quite square, though the features were somewhat blurred.

Gao Xuan had never seen this person before, but many of the spectators recognized him.

"Zhong Mountain!"

"It's Zhong Mountain, the thirty-sixth on the terrestrial rankings!"

"With Zhong Mountain here, this kid's sure to lose..."

"The system's ruthless, directly matching him with a high-ranking expert from the power rankings..."

The spectators discussed among themselves, surprised or gloating as the case might be.

The arena's power rankings are divided into celestial and terrestrial rankings.

The celestial rankings are the unified rankings for all experts in cyberspace, while the terrestrial rankings are actually divided into several regions. Golden Core Cultivators do not enter the terrestrial rankings.

Rank thirty-six on the terrestrial rankings might not sound high, but in this region's terrestrial rankings, there are a billion rankings in total.

In other words, at least a billion people participated in the points rankings within this region's terrestrial rankings.

For Zhong Mountain to rank thirty-sixth means he is already a top-tier expert.

Seeing Zhong Mountain appear, the spectators all thought Gao Xuan stood no chance. Because Gao Xuan's Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor focused on transformations and his techniques were exquisite, but all these variations would be restrained by Zhong Mountain.

To defeat Zhong Mountain, one could only rely on sheer strength.

The numerous spectators had sharp eyes and had long seen that Gao Xuan's true cultivation level wasn't particularly strong.

Faced with a super-strong opponent like Zhong Mountain, he had almost no chance of winning.

Yuan Youyuan also recognized Zhong Mountain; he was someone who liked to score points in the arena frequently. Her ranking was too low, so she hadn't faced him, but she had watched several of his matches and knew this person possessed immensely heavy and powerful strength, leaving no room for luck.

She glanced at her points, currently standing at twenty-seven thousand, and according to the competition system, if Gao Xuan won another match, her points would double.

Yuan Youyuan's hands were sweating from anxiety; she knew the odds were slim, but she couldn't help but silently pray: "You must win; whether I'll feast or starve depends on you..."
