…………

[Please select competitive mode]

After reading all the annotations one by one, Xu Yue had a general understanding of the arena. This place is similar to the trial ground. Even if he loses, he will not really die.

But compared to the rigid mechanical dolls in the trial field, the contractor opponents with different styles in the arena are much more flexible.

In terms of improving your combat skills against enemies and adapting to various fighting styles, the arena is undoubtedly more suitable.

If you can fight all the way to the top in the arena, you will probably experience all types of enemies. This is a very valuable experience. Even if you are not for the top ten unique rewards, the battle itself is the best reward.

"Competitive mode individual battle."

[Beep..., started to check whether the hunter participated in the competition. After the check, the hunter has never participated in any form of competition. 】

[Beginning to assign rankings to hunters, currently ranked 53764 (second-level ranking). (This ranking has nothing to do with the hunter’s strength. It is the number of times the hunter has participated in competitions and the victory or defeat.)]

[Hunters are asked to actively participate in the arena. The top 10 in the arena will be given special rewards. 】

…………

[The hunter has chosen to participate in the competitive mode, individual battle, and will be transferred to the rest cabin in three seconds]

Three seconds flew by. After a blink of an eye, Xu Yue had appeared in a rest cabin. The interior space was quite spacious. In addition to regular seats, there were even beds for rest in the corner. , and the most eye-catching thing is the huge display screen that takes up most of the wall.

His ranking information was displayed on the screen, as well as some of the contractors near his ranking, and there was even a prompt indicating whether the other party was in an enemy state.

On top of these information icons, there are ten extremely conspicuous portraits. These ten are the top ten in the second-level arena.

Although there are definitely many hidden strong men in the second level who are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, but on the surface, they are the top combat power among all the second level contractors. The status established by the victory in each competition is affected by all the contractors. recognition.

[Matching opponents for Hunters... Matching completed. 】

[Since this is the first battle, the hunter is asked to choose the appearance decoration. 】

The beep disappeared, and a large number of character appearances, or camouflage skins, appeared instead.

Just like Xiyue, the first employee Xu Yue met when he first entered the park, she always showed her appearance as Xinglai Diva Seraphine. Many places in the park provide this kind of skin-disguising service.

Either to hide the specific identity in reality, or to meet certain professional needs. In short, this service is well received in Paradise City, and the arena is also one of the most popular places for this service.

For the purpose of hiding their fighting methods, or some kind of imagination-expanding purpose, most contractors will choose some kind of props or skins to disguise their identities before participating in the competition, so as to avoid the fight between the two parties in the derived world. The opponent will be able to gain insight into all attack methods first.

Xu Yue briefly browsed through the catalog of camouflage skins and found that the number and types of them were overwhelming, ranging from simple appearance adjustments to numerous characters in film and television animations, and even funny creatures such as Big Gray Wolf and Spongebob Squarepants. Inside.

However, the rarer the camouflage skin, the higher the price. After understanding the general information about the appearance decoration, he thought for a moment and directly chose to refuse.

This kind of disguise may still be useful in the middle and lower levels of the ranking, but after reaching the top level, let alone the top ten, as long as you successfully advance to the top 100, your specific information will be completely revealed soon.

The appearance can be changed, but the aura, methods, equipment, fighting habits, etc. are difficult to disguise in fierce battles. As long as the arena is on top, the various intelligence organizations in the park, as well as war reporters like Yi Ling, can We will work together to expose your identity and image as quickly as possible.

Don't talk about hiding your appearance at that time. Even if you adopt Makabaka's funny appearance, it will be useless. Since it will be exposed sooner or later, he is too lazy to spend time choosing a disguise.

[The hunter has rejected the appearance decoration and started teleporting. 】

Fortunately, the short-distance teleportation within the park did not result in a sap in the back of the head. Xu Yue only felt his eyes blurred until his vision was restored.

The environment he is in has turned into a circular venue similar to the Colosseum. Outside the venue is a transparent protective shield to block attacks. Above it, there are layers of circular ladder seats neatly arranged. There were about a thousand spectators scattered in the seats.

Noises and cheers continued to come from above, and in a daze, he seemed to have returned to the octagonal arena located underground.

In addition to providing a fighting venue for contractors, the arena also has a paid viewing mode as a key feature, and there is even a betting service for gambling. The park spares no effort in recovering funds.

"Huh ~ familiar scene."

Listening to the commotion coming from above, Xu Yue took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. The originally peaceful aura around him also changed with the excitement of his mentality. Invisible evil spirits overflowed from his body, soaking the surroundings in a cold atmosphere. .

Opposite the arena, the opponent matched by the park was a female archer wearing leather armor. She was petite and less than 1.6 meters tall, but she was holding a large composite bow that was almost the same height as her. The unique multiple mechanical structure made the entire The bow body exudes the ultimate industrial beauty.

"Gudong~"

"This momentum seems a little bad..."

Although he couldn't really see the black evil energy emanating from his opponent, just by looking directly at him, the archer could feel a cold and violent aura coming.

There was an unconscious sound of swallowing in the throat, and the archer took half a step back slightly, feeling the urge to turn around and run away now.

‘No one can die in the arena. You can’t run. You can’t run away, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. ’

‘And how can I be ranked among the big guys in this ranking? Don’t be afraid! It must be a bluff, maybe some kind of fear spell, come on! ’

After forcibly comforting herself in her heart, the shrinkage in the female archer's eyes was instantly replaced by determination. The majestic evil aura that Xu Yue was attacking along the way was certainly terrifying, but it was still a bit short of defeating the enemy without fighting. mean.

The first-level survival trial has eliminated most of the weak-minded contractors. At the second-level level, there are weak hands, but cowards are extremely rare.

[Three, two, one, the battle begins]

The moment the prompt sounded, the female archer quickly pulled out a metal arrow from the space and put it on the string to draw the bow. With the rapid rotation of the pulleys on both sides of the compound bow, while her body jumped back, the arrow on the bow arm It also turned into a beam of black shadow and shot out.

"call out!"

The scream of arrows piercing the air filled the air. The archer jumped back and landed, her eyes fixed on the opponent's position. No matter whether the opponent was bluffing or real, she had to be the first to attack, otherwise she would be oppressed by this momentum. She will only become more timid.

On the other side, as a scream came from his ears, Xu Yue's eyebrows felt a sharp pain, and his eyes turned away. Due to the precise judgment of the archery master LV.2, he quickly locked onto the specific direction of the arrow. Drop point.

A cold light bloomed before his eyes, but then stopped suddenly. Just when the black shadow shooting in mid-air was about to hit its target, a big silver hand suddenly appeared and accurately grasped it.

The sudden change from extremely fast to extremely quiet caused the hurricane that was originally trapped to spread outwards in an instant, blowing the broken hair on his forehead and falling backwards.

The high-pitched scream in his ears disappeared, but instead there was a crisp beeping sound. Xu Yue looked along the source of the sound, and saw that the arrowhead of the metal arrow in his hand was flashing red light, which represented danger.

Before he had time to react, a red light burst out in the center of his field of vision.

"boom!!"

There was a violent roar on the spot, and the rising black smoke and red flames mixed and rolled, immediately encompassing Xu Yue.

There were bursts of excited cheers in the auditorium outside the stadium, and the eyes of the female archer in the stadium also lit up, and then three arrows were shot out almost at the same time, shooting in three directions at a speed far exceeding the speed of the previous explosive arrow. They all attacked and went away in the smoke.

In fact, what she expected from the arrow just now was that it would be grasped by the opponent. The tactics learned from Yu Hawkeye were surprisingly useful in this arena.

Unfortunately, Xu Yue was not easily blown away by the explosion caused by the arrow. Apart from being quite powerful, this explosive arrow did not have much effect. It perfectly embodied what it means to have smoke but no damage.

Just as the shooting arrow was about to penetrate the smoke, the big silver hand suddenly appeared again, piercing the smoke from the inside with its fingertips, and then swung it violently.

The sound of metal shattering like "click" and "click" sounded one after another. The three arrows were directly shattered by the big hand into fragments and debris scattered all over the sky. The tough arrow body made of metal seemed to have turned into broken pieces at this moment. Fragile as wood.

The roaring hurricane that was set off by the waving of the arms dispersed the fragments of the arrows, and also swept away the surrounding smoke and flames, revealing a silver figure standing majestically inside the smoke holding a golden and red long bow.

Withdrawing his forward arm, Xu Yue quickly stringed the bow. As the bow string was gradually pulled apart, a golden arrow automatically formed on the bow arm.

Opposite Xu Yue, when the three arrows were wiped out with one swing, the female archer secretly screamed, and when the light arrow tip completely locked it, a sense of horror of death was instantly felt. heart.

'Hell, he's a better archer than me! ’

Just being locked, this extremely certain thought came to her mind, but even if she was destined to lose, she couldn't lose too ugly.

As soon as she thought about it, the bowstring in her hand that had been stretched to full strength rebounded instantly, the arrow shot through the air, and she quickly jumped to the side. At the same time, the small shield generator hanging on her waist shimmered. A translucent energy shield quickly appeared on the surface of the body.

She didn't expect the hastily fired arrow to kill her opponent, but as long as she could contain him for a moment, she would still have a chance to fight back.

Looking up, from the perspective of the female archer, she saw a golden light flashing in the distance, and then accurately colliding with the metal arrow that had just been shot in mid-air. Without any obstruction, the metal arrow was completely shot out. It was cut open in the middle, neatly divided into two halves, and fell powerlessly.

Seeing this situation, she couldn't fight with each other, and could only wander around and procrastinate. The thought immediately occupied all her thoughts. The thought had not subsided. In her somewhat frightened sight, the golden light that split the metal arrow into two did not follow the instructions. It continued on its normal trajectory, but instead drew a smooth arc in the air, and then headed straight for itself.

The fatal locking feeling of impending death once again enveloped her whole body. Under the intense stimulation, the female archer's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needle tips. She wanted to dodge, but with the terrifying speed of the golden light, by the time she reacted, the light arrow was already close. forward.

The tip of the bright light arrow connected with the energy shield on the body, and ripples appeared on the surface of the shield. Dense golden and red lines were also cracked on the body of the light arrow, and the explosive energy wrapped inside was surging out. .

"boom!!!"

It seemed to be a reenactment of the previous scene, but the movement generated by this explosion was greater than before. A ball of boiling golden-red flames exploded on the spot, and billowing heat waves surged outward.

And behind the flames, a wolf figure flew out upside down. The energy shield on the body had long since disappeared. There were black burn marks all over the body. Dark blood spurted out of the mouth uncontrollably. There are dots of scarlet sprinkled along the way.

"I vote..."

"call out!"

Before the figure landed, the female archer struggled to shout surrender, but before the word 'surrender' could be uttered in time, she was interrupted by a subtle sound breaking through the air. The golden light quickly enlarged in her pupils, followed by endless darkness. Covering all perspectives.

In the field, the light arrow penetrated directly into the head of the flying figure. With an explosion, the whole head was immediately disintegrated into countless blood sprays, and then directly vaporized under the burning flames.

Below, the mutilated headless corpse fell heavily to the ground, turning into little fluorescent lights and scattering, which also marked the rapid end of this competition.

“Niubi!!”

"The archery skills crush him, he's a complete beating."

"I'll continue to buy you to win in the next game, you're a bow player!"

…………

Excited roars and shouts came from the audience outside the venue like a tide. From their perspective, the battle ended extremely quickly. Xu Yue only fired two arrows in the whole process. One arrow blasted the shield and the other hit the head. .

Although the process was short, the effect was exciting enough, especially the last scene where the head was shot. The impact was extremely strong, making the contractors and employees in the audience feel excited, especially those who bought Xu Yue to win. The guy was even more excited.

In the field, Xu Yue didn't feel much about the cheers around him. After raising his eyes and scanning around, his figure disappeared directly. When the competition ended, he was teleported directly back to the rest cabin.

[The personal battle is over, victory! 】

[The hunter ranking has been improved, from 53764 to 53487 (second level). 】

…………

In the rest cabin, Xu Yue's figure emerged. The first thing he did after teleporting back was to look sideways at the ranking displayed on the screen. A competitive victory made his ranking rise by nearly 300 places.

Although the efficiency seems to be pretty good, considering his ranking of over 50,000, this promotion speed is a bit too slow. If he keeps promoting at this speed, he will have to go through at least hundreds of competitive battles to reach the top ten.

If he wants to quickly improve his ranking, the best way is to win in a row, especially after winning more than ten times in a row, it will be a flying jump. With his current strength of over 50 points in all four attributes, the existence of these same rankings Can't create the slightest threat.

The only benefit may be that it allows him to see the various strange combat power systems of the contractors. From "X-Men" to "Mysterious Island", counting the four mission worlds he has experienced, although the contractors he has fought against are not There were only a few, but most of them were crushed by his army.

Either the Knight Legion of Dragon Valley or the black ant frenzy of the Mysterious Island, the iron hooves passed by and the corpses were shattered.

There are very few experiences of catching and fighting alone, but now he can make up for this regret. He has more than three days left in the paradise, and he has enough time to spend in this arena.

Pursing his dry lips, Xu Yuegang was about to continue matching his opponents when a paradise prompt suddenly sounded.

[Received a message from the opponent in this match, check it yes/no]

After being stunned for a moment, he chose to click on it to check.

"Boss! Please give me some advice, please be my apprentice, you can pay me, I can warm your bed!"

Recalling the opponent whose head she shot with an arrow not long ago, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the archer. Although the opponent's strength was average, his heart was quite strong, and he didn't seem to have much. There is no moral integrity at all.

After thinking about it, he ignored the other party's request to become a disciple. Instead, he sent the address of the furnace and forging shop, along with a message:

"This company has good arrows."

He wasn't very interested in paying to warm the bed, but he was still willing to win business. After sending the message, he didn't delay any more and continued to match.

Ten seconds later, the match was successful and he disappeared from the rest cabin again.
