Chapter 940 Divine Thunder Spell
As long as they were in the World Rankings, everyone from the first place to the hundredth could not avoid getting challenged by other players.
Li Yi was now second place in the World Rankings, so he would be challenged by players within the next 20 places. He had to accept one challenge at the least and ten at the most.
Unending Unmatched was in thirteenth place, which was why he received a Bounty Contract on Li Yi.
The system would not issue Bounty Contracts on players who are not online. Once a Contract was issued, if the player who received it did not complete the hunt, their ranking would drop as a result of their failure.
Now, for example, Unending Unmatched had found Li Yi. If they did not battle, Unending Unmatched’s rank would drop. Before this, Unending Unmatched did not even know who his target was.
“It’s alright, come at me!”
“Bzzt!”
Unending Unmatched waved the Shieldsword in his hand and nodded at Li Yi before rushing at him with his sword.
During the Bounty Hunt event period, players would not drop any equipment or EXP when they died. At the most, they would only lose a tad of Equipment Durability.
“Territory Release!”
“Whoosh—”
The golden light barrier expanded in all directions with Li Yi at the center.
“Territory Lock!”
Unending Unmatched did not panic. His body glowed with a red light, and he strode into the Chrono Territory.
Territory Lock allowed him to unleash all of his Territory Power at once, forming a shield around his body that nullified Territory Power. The difference in one’s Territory Power affected the duration of the shield.
Territory Lock was a rare skill that Unending Unmatched had earned unexpectedly at the Death God’s Wheel in the Tower of Remorse.
The pale red glow enveloped his body. Ignoring the effects of the Chrono Territory altogether, Unending Unmatched leaped up high and slashed downward.
“Teleport!”
Li Yi teleported several dozen meters away, dodging Unending Unmatched’s downward slash. He then countered with Meteor Arrows.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
The Meteor Arrows were extraordinarily fast, and although Unending Unmatched tried to block the arrows with his Shieldsword as soon as he landed, he was still hit by several arrows.
[−56879]
[−67789]
[−1223454]
[−1334577]
The occasional Critical Hit resulted in his damage multiplying. Unending Unmatched used all of his Territory Power to activate the Lock, and although he managed to nullify the effects of the Chrono Territory, his Absolute Defense Territory Skill was also rendered useless.
“Charge!”
Unending Unmatched barked furiously, and his body changed into a flash, rushing at Li Yi.
“Teleport!”
Li Yi appeared behind Unending Unmatched.
“Dazzling Light!”
White light lit up under Unending Unmatched’s feet, and he used his fastest acceleration skill, Dazzling Light, to continue charging at Li Yi.
Before officially engaging Li Yi in battle, Unending Unmatched had made all the necessary preparations. He had even forgone his equipment set and put on all of his speed-enhancing equipment, all so Li Yi could not shake him off once the battle began.
When melee fighters fought ranged classes, they would be outclassed as soon as the ranged fighter created a distance between them.
In order to approach Li Yi, Unending Unmatched gave up on his high-attribute equipment set and only wore loose pieces of special skill equipment.
Unending Unmatched instantly pounced at Li Yi, slashing horizontally with his Shieldsword. With another whoosh, Li Yi teleported away once more.
“Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap...”
Unending Unmatched kicked up a dust storm as he gave chase.
“Teleport!
“Teleport!”
“Poison Ivy Trap!”
Li Yi teleported twice and then set up a Superior Poison Ivy Trap.
Unending Unmatched assumed that he would keep using Teleport to escape, but to his surprise, Li Yi set up a trap instead. By the time he caught up, the trap also began to take effect. There was no stopping it; he walked right into that trap.
“Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!”
Li Yi used his Meteor Arrows, and the shots rained down on Unending Unmatched, taking more than a million HP from him. After that, Li Yi instantly settled into his stance and activated his True Overlord Arrow before Unending Unmatched could break free from the poison ivy.
The stronger the move, the longer it took to use. The True Overlord Arrow was no exception. While it was OP, it still required him to take the right stance when he was activating it. It was nowhere near as quick as the Meteor Arrows.
By the time the True Overlord Arrow was unleashed, Unending Unmatched could no longer avoid it completely, so he could only hold his Shieldsword in front of him and try to tank it head-on.
He was forced one step back, and the Flaming Phoenix vanished. A red damage figure of [−256723] appeared above Unending Unmatched’s head.
Ever since the battle began, Li Yi had yet to take even a bit of damage, whereas Unending Unmatched was left with two-thirds of his health.
Unending Unmatched smiled bitterly, gesturing at Li Yi. “That’s enough...”
He simply admitted defeat.
Li Yi kept away his Orange Quality Bow with a chuckle.
The battle was over and Unending Unmatched had admitted defeat, so his World Ranking dropped automatically.
Zhang Yan waved her small hand. “I knew you would win, Master.”
Sister Windcloud Nine looked at Unending Unmatched and said, “Unmatched is really powerful too. There was no way I’d be able to beat him.”
“Poof!”
Unending Unmatched’s face flushed red in an instant.
Sister Windcloud Nine had good intentions, and she just wanted to dispel the awkwardness. Unfortunately, she used herself as an example, so how could Unending Unmatched not redden at that?
Unending Unmatched smiled wryly at Li Yi. “I’ll keep accepting quests, so here’s to hoping I don’t get you as my target again.”
Li Yi laughed heartily. “Who can say?”
Unending Unmatched left, but Li Yi continued to stand there, his head lowered as he was lost in thought.
“Is something the matter, Master?” Zhang Yan asked.
“It’s nothing.”
Li Yi shook his head and with a twitch of his body, he pulled the Chrono Territory back into him.
“Beast Soul’s Possession — Violent Bear!”
“Pfft!”
Li Yi transformed into a Violent Bear King.
“Dismiss!”
“Pfft!”
Li Yi changed right back.
Zhang Yan was even more curious now. “Master, what are you doing?”
Sister Windcloud Nine replied, “He’s transforming.”
Zhang Yan glared at her.
Li Yi ignored them and just gave them a wave, beckoning them to come closer.
“Beast Soul’s Possession — Lightning Leopard!”
“Pfft!”
A leopard covered in flickering lightning appeared, its electorate powerful that the four girls’ hair stood on end even though they were more than thirty meters away.
Zhang Yan gasped. “What... happened?”
Sister Windcloud Nine said straight-facedly, “The leopard is emitting electricity, that’s what’s happening.”
“Of course I know that the leopard is emitting electricity. My question is, what happened?”
“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!”
Just as the girls were debating it over, the Lightning Leopard threw its head back and roared into the sky. More than ten bolts of lightning, each as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky, landing nearby.
“Dismiss!”
“Pfft!”
Li Yi turned back to usual and looked at the effects of the lightning on his surroundings, falling speechless...
He finally understood why the Death God said he had a demigod’s body.
It turned out the power of that Thunder God’s Heart had been absorbed by the Lightning Leopard in Beast Soul’s Possession mode...
When he was fighting Unending Unmatched earlier, Li Yi had intended to use Beast Soul’s Possession to become the Lightning Leopard, but for some reason, his transformation had failed.
When he deactivated his Territory Power and tried again, his Beast’s Soul Possession immediately took effect.
Li Yi did not know why this was so either, but he could be sure of one thing. When he transformed into the Lightning Leopard, he could indeed use the Ancient Thunder God’s power.
“Lightning Leopard, come out!”
Li Yi waved his hand and summoned the Lightning Leopard. He wanted to check if the leopard had also obtained the Ancient Thunder God’s strength.
“Emit electricity!”
“Roar—”
“Thunder, rain down!”
“Roar—”
“F*ck!”
“Roar—”
After a few attempts, Li Yi gave up. The Lightning Leopard was no different than before. It seemed that he could only use the Ancient Thunder God’s power when he was using Beast’s Soul Possession and he himself had become the leopard.
“You have free rein to do as you please for the rest of the day. Dismissed!”
Now that he had discovered the secret behind Beast’s Soul Possession, Li Yi was no longer in the mood to train the four girls.
“Bye, Teacher~”
The four girls made sure to drag out that last syllable as they saw Li Yi off cheerfully.
Li Yi teleported to the Tower of Remorse and was about to go in when he heard a cheery system notification jingle by his ear.
“You have a challenger. Please prepare yourself.”
Li Yi turned around to look and saw a Thief dressed in black appearing in midair.
Here was another Bounty Contract.
“Beast’s Soul Possession — Lightning Leopard!”
Li Yi hurriedly transformed into a Lightning Leopard before the Thief in black could see him. He then threw his head back and summoned the lightning.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Hundreds of bolts of lightning rained down at once. The Thief in black’s body had barely appeared when he was struck by a bolt of lightning.
That meant numbness, a ton of damage, and the feeling of being electrocuted...
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Several seconds later, the Thief in black collapsed to the ground, dead.
“F*ck me, who’s this BAMF?”
The Thief in black swore as he lay on the ground.
When the thunder dissipated, Li Yi had long since reached the Void Dimension.
The Death God appeared.
“Lady Death God, I’ve discovered how to use the Ancient Thunder God. However, could you kindly tell me why I can only use Divine Power when I transform into a Lightning Leopard?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then can you tell me if I can use Beast’s Soul Possession to absorb other God’s Hearts with my other pets?”
“I don’t know.”
Li Yi had rushed over here excitedly, but unfortunately, the Death God did not answer any of his questions at all.
“Human, you used a God’s Heart to increase your power, but with that, you can only be a demigod at most. If you wish to become a god, do whatever you can to complete the tasks the Evil God assigned to you!”
The Death God vanished, leaving behind those last words.
‘Well, f*ck, that was a total waste of time...’
Li Yi was utterly frustrated.
Using Teleport, Li Yi left the Tower of Remorse and headed for the Savage Continent.
He ran to the swamp and caught a Six-armed Red Macaque nearby.
The Six-armed Red Macaque was a blue-named monster between Levels 190—200. It was probably because of its many arms, but when it fought players and scratched them with all six arms, it dealt substantial damage.
A famous Archer player once said that if the Six-armed Red Macaque was purple quality, it would be worth even more than a Legendary Pet.
The Six-armed Red Macaque was not popular among players, simply because its Attributes were too low.
“Ook ook ook ook ook...”
The Six-armed Red Macaque followed behind Li Yi, threading through the swamp. It was significantly larger than even Li Yi, its master.
He had the pet now, so he just had to level it up. It was much easier to level pets than players, so Li Yi spent only three hours to level the Six-armed Red Macaque to Level 125.
A Level 125 Blue Quality Macaque had merely 20,000 max HP, and that was barely anything.
However, Li Yi did not care at all. He continued to level the macaque excitedly.
Two days later, Li Yi had successfully leveled his macaque to Level 200!
