BXBX NOVEL Chapter 701 - Friend, Are You Happy?
Chapter 701: Friend, Are You Happy?
There were still around two minutes before the tournament began.
Jiang Feng stayed in the room alone and read the tournament’s rules on the screen.
The rules were very simple. One was not allowed to use pills or medicine that recovered health during the tournament. All other skills were allowed.
In order to stop players who joined the tournament from dying during the tournament, one could surrender during the battle. All they needed to do was to surrender or acknowledge their loss, and both contestants would be immediately removed from the tournament grounds.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Honorable player Jiang Feng, please enter the gateway and attend your first round. If you do not enter within 1 minute, it will be seen as you giving up. Good luck!
As soon as he had finished reading the rules, the system’s voice entered Jiang Feng’s ears.
‘Huh? It’s my turn so soon?’ Jiang Feng was slightly stunned as he walked toward the gateway.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of light, and when his eyes recovered from it, he was standing on a floating platform. The platform was not very big, only about 500 squares wide.
He looked out of the platform. It was the infinite space. There were even some space rocks floating around the platform.
That meant that the battle was taking place in endless space. It was indeed quite wonderful.
Whoosh!
At this time, a man walked out of a gateway 30 meters away.
The man’s neck had scales and his muscles were swelled up. Just from his appearance, he looked like someone quite powerful.
Jiesentan: Black Realm Five Stars
Combat Ratings: 3,341
While his realm was much higher than Jiang Feng, his combat rating was much lower than Jiang Feng’s.
In this tournament, it was not in the rules that only those in the same realm would be allowed to fight each other. As long as one had signed up, they would then meet up with other fighters.
It would be considered normal if a player at Black Realm One Star were to encounter Sus, who was at the top of the Tianji Leaderboard.
Not to mention that these were the qualifying rounds. It was here to remove all the weaklings. Only by reaching the finals would they be fighting those who were truly powerful.
“Hm? I didn’t expect that you would have such a high combat rating.” Jiesentan observed his surroundings and also began to check Jiang Feng’s stats. When he first saw Jiang Feng’s realm, he was quite happy. But when he saw Jiang Feng’s combat rating, his expression turned sour.
Realm represented one’s growth and combat experience. Only by fighting would they gain evaluation. The system would then judge a player’s realm based on their Inner Chi and combat rating, and assist the player in increasing their realms.
While combat rating represented their overall power, Jiang Feng was somewhat confused. If combat rating was their overall power, why would eating pills increase their overall power?
He had always been quite confused with this combat rating.
That being said, his overall combat power was indeed very strong.
Even when facing Jiesentan, who was four stars higher than he is, he was not afraid of him. Instead, his eyes were filled with confidence.
“You are not weak either. Now, take out your weapon.” Jiang Feng smiled faintly as he opened his palm and the Chengying Sword appeared in his hand.
He did not take out the Feihe Sword or the Blazing Divine Fist, as they would be too evident.
Many people knew about the Feihe Sword and the Blazing Divine Fist, and what happened here would be shown on the screen within the rooms. While not everyone would watch his game, he still wanted to be careful.
Especially when they could simply check the basic stats of those in the tournament, if a large group of elites knew that he had so many treasures on him, they would no doubt look for him like mad.
If everyone were to issue a quest to look for him at the God-Slayer Palace or Nameless Tavern, he would be living in fear every single day after that.
As for those people that he had met at the Ruins of the Godlike, they would not spread the news about him having a lot of treasures on him. All they would do was to secretly find him, and then assassinate him so that they could enjoy the spoils by themselves.
No one would be foolish enough to let everyone know that Jiang Feng had treasures and make others compete for that, and they would not get anything in the end.
Jiesentan narrowed his eyes when he saw Jiang Feng take out the Chengying Sword.
While he could not check the Chenying Sword’s stats, he could sense the power that the Chengying Sword contained. He knew that this had to be a Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure.
“A Pre-Creation Spiritual Treasure?” He asked Jiang Feng for confirmation.
“Sort of, yes,” Jiang Feng said.
“Alright. I give up!” Jiesentan nodded and then chose to surrender.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt. Due to the opponent surrendering, you have won the battle. Please wait in your room in preparation for the next round!
‘What happened?”
There was a flash in his eyes and he reappeared in the room. He was not sure what had happened.
He did not expect Jiesentan to immediately surrender without a fight. What a coward.
“Maybe he also came into the game using his real body.” Only that could explain why Jiesentan would surrender like that.
Dying in the tournament would not incur any penalties for the players that had entered the game through a terminal. That was why those players would try their best even if they knew that they could die.
For players that were like Jiesentan who were very careful, if it was not because of his weak character, then that must mean that he had entered the game using his real body.
While they could immediately give up and surrender during the battle, they were also afraid that they could get killed before their opponents could react. If they were indeed killed, they would have died in vain.
Once he reappeared in his room, he noticed that all the screens that were previously blank were bright. The players that were all in combat were shown.
“Hm? Moye!” When he was observing the screens, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Moye, who almost killed him at the Ruins of the Godlike.
He looked at Moye’s stats and noticed that he had become even stronger.
Originally, he was only at Earth Realm Two Stars. He had already reached Earth Realm Three Stars. His combat rating had also grown from 4,702 to 4,982. It seemed like he had gained a lot of benefits from the Ruins of the Godlike.
His opponent was a Black Realm Seven Stars player, but he was immediately killed in one move. One could only imagine how powerful he was.
However, due to the gap between Moye and his opponent, it all ended before he could see anything. Jiang Feng was quite disappointed by that.
Once Moye’s broadcast had disappeared, he began to look for anything interesting.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Please enter the gateway. Your second round will begin soon.
At this time, the system’s voice rang, announcing that Jiang Feng’s second round would begin soon.
“That’s fast. It seems that they want to choose the top ten within the first day!” He mused and entered the gateway.
It was the same battleground, but he had a new opponent.
His opponent this time was a minotaur wearing a nose ring. He was quite powerful too. Black Realm Six Stars with an almost maxed-out combat rating.
He was very aggressive and kept on roaring with a pair of hand axes in his hands.
Looking at the fierce minotaur, Jiang Feng asked him with a faint smile, “Friend, are you happy?”
‘What the...’
When the minotaur heard what Jiang Feng said, he was slightly stunned. He had only wanted to demoralize his enemy using his forceful impression, what the hell did that have to do with being happy?
“Hello, my friend. I am a Consoler, if you aren’t happy, please tell me. Maybe I can help you resolve your misery so that you won’t be so aggressive all the time!” Jiang Feng said to the minotaur with a friendly smile and in an even friendlier tone.
“Are you crazy? Are we going to fight or not?” Because of how Jiang Feng reacted, the minotaur’s impression was instantly weakened and he could not boost it up again.
