Chapter 211: Striving for First Place
[Start calculating the rewards for this world battle for the pioneers...]

[The pioneer mission has been completed, rewards: 1 Gold Pioneer Medal, 1 Gold War Medal]

[The Pioneer has been promoted to level 21. 】

Lu Li was completely confused as he listened to the series of reports.

Why did the divine space surrender before the fight even started?
He had heard that if one killed an explorer from the enemy camp during the World War, the chance of finding a Dead Man's Chest would be three times higher than usual.

Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly felt that he had suffered a great loss.

The divine space surrendered without a fight, causing him to suffer huge losses for nothing. Lu Li felt a little indignant.

However, Lu Li soon calmed down. After all, he didn't contribute much, but he could get some rewards, which was quite comfortable.

Especially since his Pioneer Mark level has been broken through, it means that his remaining 7 points of free attributes can be put to good use.

So Lu Li went straight to the physical strengthening hall to carry out a new round of strengthening on himself.

He chose Strength +4 and Agility +3 to make himself a little more balanced.

Now his attributes have been greatly improved, and his overall combat power has undergone a drastic change, but along the way, Lu Li also discovered some problems.

One is that he found that his attributes, which he had been able to improve rapidly through basic training in the past, had slowed down after reaching the third level, and he no longer had the speed of improving comprehensive attributes in a few weeks.

Lu Li speculated that this was because the increase in attribute points in the End Space was exponential growth, not a fixed addition, so the later the stage, the higher the value of each attribute point improvement. So although his cultivation speed did not slow down, the improvement in attribute points did slow down.

In addition, he also doubted whether there was still room for improvement in his limiter-removing talent. After all, it was marked in the End Space that the talent rating was from E- to SSS+, and his own talent was only S-level.

Lu Li had a vague feeling that once he reached the fourth level, the help this talent could bring to him would not be so obvious, so he wanted to find a way to improve his talent.

He had read various basic common sense in the End Space before. Regarding talent, it can be improved through tasks, but he currently has no means to trigger the talent promotion task.

And each explorer is not limited to one talent. Theoretically, each explorer can have two talents, provided that the conditions for awakening are met.

After Lu Li completed the enhancement, he headed straight for the Level 3 Arena, wanting to familiarize himself with his new abilities, while also trying to see if he could reach the peak of Level 3 and regain the title he deserved.

Because he has been promoted to the third level, his previous unparalleled title in the second-level arena has become invalid, and his attributes have dropped a little, which makes him very uncomfortable. He hopes to improve back as soon as possible.

…………

[Pioneer 008, your current ranking is 73918, and you have been matched with an opponent of equal strength. ]

Following the prompt sound of the End Space, Lu Li was pulled into the venue constructed in the arena.

Amidst the towering tall buildings, Lu Li and a level three explorer stood on the street, looking at each other.

The explorer on the opposite side seemed to be a warrior-type enhancer, holding a sledgehammer. After seeing Lu Li, he immediately used the reconnaissance skill. This is the habit of people who play in the arena.

He had just been promoted to the third rank and wanted to come to the arena to compete in the rankings and practice combat skills.

Theoretically speaking, everyone has just reached the third level and is ranked at the bottom of the arena. Since everyone has just been promoted, their strengths won’t differ greatly, which is perfect for them to get along with each other.

But when he used his reconnaissance skills to look at the man in black standing opposite him, he was stunned because he saw a row of question marks.

Lu Li frowned as he looked at his opponent. He felt that he was too weak. He thought, is this what is called an “equally matched opponent”?
The warrior explorer held a sledgehammer in his hand, thinking that the opponent must have some anti-reconnaissance skills. He couldn't possibly run into a weirdo who had reached the peak of level three and had never played in the arena, right?

He mustered up his courage and charged forward with a battle cry, intending to break through from the front and test the strength of the man in black.

But the next moment, he saw the man narrow his eyes slightly, and an invisible dark red aura expanded. In an instant, he felt that his soul was suppressed and crushed by a powerful force, and then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already back in the lounge. "This is outrageous. What the hell happened!?"

He used the replay function in the arena to check the damage he had suffered in the battle report, wanting to see how he died.

[You are suppressed by the Conqueror's Haki, and the judgment begins. ]

[Your spiritual attribute is 24 points, and the opponent's spiritual attribute is 65 points. The difference in spiritual attributes is more than 40 points...]

[Judgment passed, you are scared to death. 】

The warrior explorer was sitting in the lounge, completely stunned. "Fuck, is this possible? I was scared to death in the arena?"

He thought it was outrageous. As a warrior-type explorer in an adventure group, he naturally complemented his teammates. His points were mainly added to strength and physique, and his agility was slightly lower. As for mental attributes, he basically didn't add any points.

But he also has relatively good combat skills. When he encounters a magic enemy, he will try his best to avoid the opponent's spells. Moreover, his position in the team is not that he is responsible for resisting spells. He only needs to find opportunities to output in close combat.

Unexpectedly, after encountering the Conqueror's Haki, he had no chance to resist at all and was frightened to death.

It would be so embarrassing to tell others about it, so he decided to keep the news of his defeat secret.

But he was also very confused in his heart. It was strange enough that the opponent had Conqueror's Haki, and his mental attribute was so high. Could it be that he was really a weirdo who had never played in the arena before?

On the other side, Lu Li continued to match. As expected, ranking from low to high was a very boring task.

Most of the beginner explorers were average, not as good as those he had seen on Sky Island. You have to know that those third-level explorers at least had the courage and planning to go to Sky Island, and they were considered the elite who had just entered the third level. The mortality rate of explorers in the End Space was not low, but there were also some who followed the adventure group and slowly made it to the third level. These explorers often did not perform well in the arena. Without the cooperation of teammates, their ability to fight alone was extremely poor.

After seeing this, Lu Li was too lazy to draw his sword. He just released his domineering aura in an instant. Those with weak spirits would either faint or die, and those with strong spirits would also be shocked. Then he moved like thunder and electrocuted the target into charcoal.

At this time, Lu Li began to understand why Enel's physical skills were average. He could only say that if one could kill enemies with lightning, people would slowly become lazy, especially if they always played low-end games, this dependence would become stronger.

After playing dozens of games in the arena, Lu Li began to have a concrete understanding of the power of his current lightning.

It can only be said that thunder is really a natural nemesis of carbon-based creatures. Even a tank with extremely high magic resistance will be electrocuted and convulse all over if hit by Lu Li's casual thunder. As long as he further increases the power of thunder, the opponent will be electrocuted to death within a few seconds.

For an ordinary opponent, any bolt of lightning could cause his heart to stop beating temporarily and put him into shock, which basically meant death.

So it’s no wonder that Shenquan didn’t kill Eneel in advance. It would be really difficult for him to do so. If the sneak attack failed, even if Shenquan had all kinds of tricks, it would be difficult for him to survive in Eneel’s hands.

With an attack like lightning, your life is basically over once you get hit.

The battle continued until the third day, when Lu Li began to encounter explorers in the late third stage. Among them was a magic tank with extremely high mental power. His mental attribute was as high as 66 points, and his magic resistance was also not to be underestimated.

But even with an opponent of this level, Lu Li's consecutive thunder strikes were too much for the opponent to withstand.

As long as you are hit, you will be at least paralyzed. Once paralyzed, it will be impossible to avoid the subsequent thunder.

Even though his magic resistance was very high and he would not be killed by the lightning, Lu Li's sword arrived at the moment he was stiff, bypassing his shield and splitting him in half with one blow.

After experiencing actual combat, Lu Li felt that the ability of lightning was a very rare ability among low-level explorers.

If the Divine Space could grasp its current situation, their surrender would be understandable. After all, no matter how many people there are in the Divine Space, they are nothing more than second-level explorers.

With his domineering aura, he knocked down a large group of people, and then thunder spread out, and it was a one-sided massacre.

Lu Li felt that in a conventional world where physical combat was relied upon, Thunder was an extremely powerful ability. Even in a derivative world like Bleach or Naruto, the power of Thunder should not be underestimated.

All in all, the Thunder God Fruit is worth it. He doesn't need to worry about the upper limit in the late stage for the time being. Anyway, he has the Chaos Spirit Seed. With this fruit, his combat power at this stage is directly maximized.

In this way, Lu Li fought in the arena for seven consecutive days while adapting to his new attributes and abilities.

[Pioneer 008, you have achieved 318 consecutive wins and are currently ranked 3rd. Do you want to continue matching? ]

"continue."

Lu Li said that the last game was his first one of the day. He had a good rest last night and adjusted his spirit in order to rush directly to the top of the list.

Since he reached the top 100, the explorers he met were basically level 3 masters with full attributes, but he was still on a winning streak.

Lu Li currently has too many states that can be stacked. If he goes all out, he will not be suppressed much by these explorer attributes, and his abilities have obvious advantages even among third-level explorers.

[Start matching... Matching is successful, your opponent is the first in the current third-level arena. ]

Lu Li perked up after hearing that. Since he reached the top ten, the opponents he met were very interesting. They were definitely not just targets with attributes, but each of them was very capable.

So how strong will the first place in the third level be?

As the white light flashed, Lu Li landed in a maple forest. Through the flying leaves, he could see his opponent clearly.

It was a bit unexpected because he ran into someone he knew.

"It's you. Shouldn't you be at the second level..."

Mandragora spoke in a hoarse voice with some doubt in her pupils. She received the challenge message in the space and came to defend the challenge in person when she was interested. She didn't expect to see Lu Li.

"I just got promoted in the last world."

Lu Li explained casually, his hand on the hilt of the Demon Prisoner at his waist, and a maple leaf fell on his shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. I still have a use for the title. I'll get you out."

Mandala had no intention of talking more. The moment she finished speaking, her figure completely disappeared along with the falling red maple leaves.

When Lu Li saw this scene, he became alert. He had used his Observation Haki to the extreme, but he still couldn't catch Mandragora's breath.

The Hidden Darkness Fruit? No, this should be some kind of ability she already has.

Lu Li's mouth curled up. Isn't this also an opponent worthy of his full efforts to defeat?

The blue-green lightning on his body flickered and transformed into countless tiny electric currents that extended to all directions of the entire space, trying to capture Mandragora's movements with the electric currents.

The opponent is an assassin-type explorer, and he is the first among the three levels. His offensive power is definitely strong enough. If he seizes the opportunity, even Lu Li cannot guarantee that he will not be killed in one blow.

So he was prepared to go all out right from the start.
