Chapter 705: Space Fight, Preliminary Round
Chapter 705: Space Fight, Preliminary Round
After Lu Li finished his poker game, he waved to Ah Huo, who had completed his transformation into a True Dragon. “Ah Huo, let’s go. I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”
"Meow!"
Ah Huo shouted excitedly. For some reason, after completely absorbing the fairy tale dragon, it had clearly reached the next stage of the Nine Transformations of a True Dragon, but it still spoke in that strange accent.
After it returned to Lu Li's pet space, Lu Li was teleported away by white light.
[Location successful, transmission started...]
[Target: Space Brawl Outpost]
[Transmitting...]
After a while, the feeling of weightlessness gradually disappeared. What confused Lu Li was that this time the space did not directly teleport him to the Fairy Tail world, but first came to a "outpost"
His vision was clear, and he saw that he was on a platform in the void. There were more than a dozen explorers around him, and he heard the prompt sound of the end space in his ears.
[The Pioneers have arrived at the outpost, and the basic rules of this space brawl are read out to them:]
1. Based on the principle of peaceful and friendly exchanges, an additional layer of death-proof barrier will be added to each participant in this space brawl.
Being protected by the Death-Free Barrier provides absolute immunity to one fatal attack and teleports the contestant to a safe area.
If a participant chooses to continue participating in subsequent events after the death-free barrier disappears, the organizer of this competition will not be responsible for any death caused.
2. In this competition, players who are eliminated in the preliminary stage will no longer be teleported into the Fairy Tail competition world. They will be immediately sent back to their original space and given corresponding penalties.
3. In this competition, players who are defeated after the preliminary stage can choose to stay and watch the game. When the overall winner of the competition is decided, they will be forcibly sent back to their original space.
4. In addition to the rewards in the self-space, the champion of this competition can continue to stay in the competition world and complete the strategy of the competition world. Based on the strategy results, the self-space will give generous rewards.
5. During non-competition periods, all players are strictly prohibited from fighting privately and are not allowed to leave the designated competition waiting area.
6. Due to the wide range of contestants, in order to ensure a certain degree of fairness, in combat type competitions, the competition rules constructed by Lingxu Temple will take effect, and the comprehensive attributes of the middle range of both sides will be taken as the basic combat attributes of the two.
7. Lingxu Palace is responsible for arbitrating this spatial brawl, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the nine major spaces and Lingxu Palace.
Lu Li glanced at the basic rules of this competition and found that he had guessed correctly. At least in a head-on combat competition, their basic attributes could not directly crush the fifth-level explorers.
But space also shows that this is only relatively fair, but in reality it is still not very fair.
After all, the combat expertise of a sixth-level explorer is generally stronger than that of a fifth-level explorer, and the bloodlines, skills and other powers they possess are also greater than those of a fifth-level explorer.
This rule only gave those talented fifth-level explorers a chance to challenge higher-level opponents.
The death-proof barrier added to the players in the space brawl can be seen as a kind of life guarantee. If you have it, you can give it a try.
If you are broken, you can still continue to fight, but if you die, you are really dead.
Lu Li didn't know if there were such rules in previous space brawls, but he felt that this rule was to protect the talent resources of the major spaces. Apparently, some spaces were not optimistic about their own players, but were reluctant to surrender directly in such a major event, so they added these rules.
With the death-free barrier, those less powerful explorers can escape unscathed even if they lose, which means that everyone has the right to participate once.
But regarding the champion's privileges and rewards, Lu Li felt that the organizer was a bit stingy. Since they had already won, why not just give the world to others? Why would the champion have to work so hard?
It seems that the Arcane Dimension is reluctant to hand over this enhanced Fairy Tail world.
But unfortunately, as far as Lu Li knew, the arcane space was probably unable to protect this world. As the host, their strongest person was probably the wandering wizard, a group friend that Lu Li knew.
And in the group’s odds, almost no one bet on him.
[Dear Pioneer 008, please check the qualifying rules:]
1. The preliminaries are divided into two regions. In each region, each space has 2 contestants, a total of 18 people. Four teams of four people will qualify for the preliminaries, and the remaining two players will be eliminated.
2. In order to allow each player to play freely, contestants in the same space are not forced to form a team. Players can choose their teammates on their own.
3. In order to increase the fun of this competition, Lingxu Temple has randomly assigned initial entries to each player. Everyone has an exclusive entry. Depending on the effect of the entry, different bonuses can be obtained when forming a team.
4. In the outpost, players can challenge other players or teams, but only one-on-one, two-on-two, or three-on-three. The majority cannot bully the minority.
In a one-on-one battle, the winner can form his own team, and the loser will become the captain's pendant.
In subsequent competitions, when points are obtained, the captain will receive 70% of the profits and the pendants will receive 10% of the profits respectively.
Through battles, you can capture teammates from other teams. After winning the battle, the captain can choose a player he or she has been eyeing to join his or her team.
5. After the players have formed a team of four, they will advance together. The last two remaining will be eliminated and sent back immediately.
6. The initial identity camp of this world will be determined based on the order of qualifying. Please strive to be the first to qualify.
Lu Li glanced through the rules of the preliminaries and found them very interesting. It was easy to tell from the rules that this preliminaries was about forming teams, but there didn't seem to be any sense of team battles.
Because it is clearly stated in the rules that the loser is just a treasure of the captain, it can be seen that when Lingxu Palace and the Nine Spaces formulated the rules, they believed that among this group of contestants, there would be several players with absolutely leading strength.
This special entry rule is quite interesting.
Lu Li checked his initial entry, which was called "Song of War". The team with this entry would receive a 15% independent damage bonus when entering the Fairy Tail arena world.
This entry looked quite powerful on its own, after all it was a free buff, but when Lu Li looked up, he saw that due to the nature of the preliminaries, everyone had their own entry above their heads and everyone could see it.
Lu Li took a quick glance and knew that his entry belonged to the "combat power" category, and it was not very strong. He also saw an entry that could increase the team's overall independent damage by 20%.
This entry seems to have nothing to do with a person's combat power. It is just randomly assigned and is some kind of lottery for everyone to collect.
If you can construct perfect entries when forming a team, the four of you combined may be able to increase your damage by 50 to 60 percent when you enter the world, which would be really abnormal.
The setting of the nine spaces, on the one hand, enhances the fun, but also forces the explorers to use their brains to form teams, otherwise they will easily suffer losses. At the same time, this rule also gives explorers with slightly weaker strength the opportunity to win.
Lu Li has already seen two explorers with the same combat power entry, heading to a special space arena to fight, in order to determine who is the main force and who is the pendant.
"Brother Prisoner, it looks like we've been assigned to the same division."
A familiar female voice sounded in Lu Li's ears, and a petite figure walked up to Lu Li. She was wearing a black cloak and a black bandage on her face, looking a little weird.
Her voice is quite soft and sweet, and it would be much better if it weren't for the fact that her tone was so flat and cold.
"I didn't expect there are divisions. I wanted to see the strength of the Valkyrie first." Lu Li said. He glanced around and didn't find any players who looked outrageous at first glance. The Valkyrie should not be in this division.
"Want to form a team?"
Black Lily asked, half of her intention was to curry favor with someone powerful, but more importantly, she also wanted to test how strong Lu Li was now.
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at Black Lily's exclusive entry, which was called 'Harmony Brings Wealth'.
The effect of this entry is that after entering the official competition, all rewards obtained in each round of competition will be increased by 30%.
After Lu Li read the effects of the entries, his eyes lit up. He was still unclear about the subsequent competition rules and rewards, but since this was an activity of the Nine Spaces, they would not be so stingy. If he could increase all of them, wouldn't he make a fortune?
"Then let's try it in the ring."
He knew that Black Lily was not coming to admit defeat directly, but wanted to fight him.
With curiosity and fighting spirit in her eyes, Black Lily walked down the ring with Lu Li.
Five seconds later, Black Lily looked at the finger at her throat and said, "I lost. I didn't expect the gap to get bigger."
When she first met Lu Li in the One Piece world, their strength was not much different, but after several worlds, Lu Li had reached the seventh level of strength, while she had just entered the sixth level.
Even though they had the same attributes in the ring, she was still instantly killed by Lu Li.
Moreover, Lu Li defeated her in seconds with ease, without taking it seriously at all. He was able to control his moves freely and stopped at the critical moment without breaking her protective barrier.
"It's okay. Once we win the space brawl, we'll get a lot of power. Are you worried that we won't be able to strengthen ourselves after we return?"
Lu Li said with a smile that he was very satisfied with Black Lily's exclusive entry. It would be better to say that he was not prepared to snatch teammates with combat power entries.
He scanned the entire venue. It had only been a short while, but there were already many two-person teams and even three-person teams formed.
Lu Li had just walked down the stage with Black Lily when a team came towards them.
Because everyone needs to choose entries in this qualifying round, everyone has nicknames and entries above their heads, just like in a game, which is a straightforward way to show themselves.
"Imprisoner, huh? Your combat entry is pretty good. Join us."
The leading man spoke.
From the information above his head, it can be seen that he is the 'Three-eyed God' from the divine space. He also has an entry for a 15% damage increase. I guess he wants to complete the combat power team.
"You won't get far if you team up with her. I'm afraid it will be difficult to qualify. You have to be able to win if you have economic terms."
Another person from the Fairyland Space, 'The Dao Is Boundless' said.
When Black Lily heard the two people talking like this, her eyebrows were slightly frowned. It is true that everyone's attributes will become the same when they are on the ring, but during the non-competition period, as long as they are not in the arena, everyone's attributes will be what they are.
So she could see that these two people were explorers in the late sixth stage, much stronger than her original strength.
"Don't bother with that. I just like economic terms."
Lu Li said with a smile, and he didn't mean to say more to the two of them. He was too lazy to compete with them because he looked down upon the entries of both of them.
You can't lose on purpose, but you have to choose someone after you win. This is the rule of the game.
"What's the point of economic terms? Winning is the most important thing."
Daofa Wubian wanted to explain himself and wanted to directly challenge Lu Li and his group, but was stopped by Daofa Wubian.
The Three-Eyed God looked at Lu Li's back with a serious look, and shook his head at his teammates, "Don't mess with him. I just used my reconnaissance skill to check, and I saw a row of question marks."
"What!?"
Dao Fa Wu Bian was a little surprised, "Your comprehensive attribute is over 140 points? Even the Heavenly Eye on your forehead can't see through it?"
After they formed a team, they naturally quickly gained an initial understanding of each other's basic strength. In addition, the gods in the divine space were famous for their sky eye detection ability. Even if there was a big gap in the basics, they could still see through the details of many people.
With the strength of the Three-Eyed God, he should be able to see through anyone within the sixth level, but when he looked at the Prisoner Demon, he found a bunch of question marks. This was outrageous, indicating that the other party might have already reached the seventh level.
Although all the fighters in this competition are of the same attribute when fighting in the ring, no one would think that a person with the same attribute who has broken through to the seventh level field would be a weakling when the competition restricts fifth and sixth level explorers from joining.
"I finally understand why the space has to add the rule of death-proof protection. This competition..."
The Three-Eyed God looked at Lu Li's back with a serious expression, "...There is a monster."
"What should I do?"
Dao Fa Wu Bian frowned and said, "You can't give up, right? There are rewards for getting a higher ranking."
"Of course not. Let's continue with our previous thinking. As long as we can form a four-man combat power entry team, I don't think we will be weaker than anyone else."
The Three-Eyed God said, "Now that we already have a 30% independent damage increase, if we find two more damage increase or damage reduction items with the same value, I don't believe these monsters can still defeat the gods."
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, a laugh came from the side, which made the Three-Eyed God frown.
"Friend of Origin, what do you mean?"
The Three-Eyed God frowned and asked. He found that the other party was alone, and he couldn't challenge him directly. After all, the preliminary rules required one-on-one or two-on-two.
"No, I don't mean to offend you, I just think you two are oversimplifying things."
The contestant from the origin space was a man in a Taoist robe named "Ji Guan Suan Jin". He looked a little fat, with a big belly and a smiling face.
"Isn't it? Maximizing the combat power is the best way for us to defeat monsters."
The Three-Eyed God is dissatisfied with the attitude of "scheming to the fullest", and at the same time wants to pry more information from the other party.
