"Don't be in such a hurry to admit defeat!"
Lu Li felt the pressure as well. He had thought that the Slayer's Ghost Cut would only attract attention. Little did he expect that the outside would be in an uproar.
He had underestimated the disturbance he caused at the Sea of Storms. He did not expect that he would become the center of attention. Even the warriors on the List of Warriors who were fighting were paying attention.
Lu Li thought of something and said, "Lady Mu, buy me some time. I will build a plaza of Divine Runes down there, which will help me in the upcoming fights!"
Lady Mu swung her wand angrily. She generated rays of starlight to attack Lu Li. "Why should I help you? We don't know each other." She replied angrily.
"Alright, my First Miss!"
Lu Li begged for mercy. "I owe you one. Next time, I will try my best to help you."
"That's more like it!"
Lady Mu waved her wand with satisfaction. "Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
"Tie me up with vines!"
Lu Li sent a message. Once again, Lady Mu bound Lu Li with her vines. This time, Lu Li did not break free. Instead, he said to Blood Fairy, "Blood Fairy, build a dojo of apotheosis down there."
Lu Li did not want to expose too many of his trump cards. If he could build a plaza of Apotheosis on the floating platform, he would have an easier time in the upcoming fights. He could easily make it to the top 100.
Blood Fairy snuck out from Lu Li's body and snuck under the platform. After a while, she said, "Master, there are runes on the platform. I can make some slight changes and we can build a plaza of Apotheosis. Give me the time for one incense stick to burn."
"Okay!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. "Try not to change the runes on the platform. I am fighting in a arena. People will say that I am breaking the rules."
"Okay!"
Blood Fairy began to build while Lu Li began to twist.
In this way, people would think that he was trying to break the vines, which would not arouse suspicion.
"Wood Fairy!"
Lady Mu pretended to attack as well. She released more energy of wood that pierced into the vines in the form of green blurs. However, those attacks were weak and could not penetrate Lu Li's defense.
"What?
Didn't the Hellish Slayer break the vines in an instant?
Why are you trapped again? "
"The Hell Slaughter God doesn't seem to be anything special. The Mu Clan's Goddess Genius Ranking is ranked in the 60s, yet she can actually trap him?"
"Could it be that he's not the Grim Reaper from Hell?
Otherwise, how could he be so weak? "
"He seems to be someone from the Heavenly Devil Island. Rumor has it that the Hell Killing God entered the Heavenly Devil Island.
Moreover, that killer move of his is unique, no one can imitate it. "
Many people outside were paying attention to Lu Li. Seeing that Lu Li was trapped by Lady Mu so easily and he hadn't broken free after the time for half an incense stick to burn, it was inevitable that people would have doubts.
There were runes on the platforms in the air. When warriors went in, the shield would be activated. People on the outside could not use psychic power to check. Therefore, not even the Axe Demon knew what Lu Li was doing.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Blood Fairy said, "Master, everything is ready. Should we activate it?"
"No need, wait for my orders!"
Lu Li said and then said to Lady Mu, "Okay, Lady Mu, it's done!"
Bang!
Lu Li shook his arm to knock away the vines. He flew over, pretending to punch at Lady Mu's head. Lady Mu glared at Lu Li but did not step back.
Lu Li's fist stopped in front of Lady Mu's face. Lady Mu's hair was blown up. She shouted in a deep voice, "I give up!"
"What ~"
Another uproar came from outside. Just a moment ago, Lu Li was trapped and now he dashed out.
Lady Mu felt her reaction was too slow. She didn't try to dodge and gave up so easily.
"Buzzing!"
The runes glowed and sent Lady Mu out. Lu Li stood where he was and looked at the mountain. Many people were pointing at him and those on the list would look at him from time to time.
"I must win in a row. I must get one hundred points as soon as possible and enter the semi-finals!"
Lu Li thought to himself. He took out the mountain and began to release Worms of the Void.
He had just released hundreds of Worms of the Void when a warrior flew up from the mountain. Here came the next challenger.
"Peak of the second tribulation?"
Lu Li sensed and was relieved. If he could win in a row, he could get two points. If he could fight against dozens of warriors of the second tribulation, he could enter the semi-finals right away.
That warrior looked awful. He complained about his bad luck. Lu Li had just defeated a warrior of the third tribulation, a warrior on the list.
Lu Li didn't even have to use the Apotheosis Dojo to deal with someone at the peak of the second tribulation. He just dashed over.
That warrior took out his weapon and was about to attack. However, Lu Li was so fast that the warrior didn't even have time to react. He was smashed away by Lu Li.
"Boom!"
That warrior was smashed into the shield. Blood oozed out from his mouth. He crawled up, cupped his fists to Lu Li and said, "Thank you for showing mercy. I admit defeat!"
Soon, that warrior was teleported out. Lu Li took a look and realized that someone must be controlling the runes. It must be the more than a dozen patriarchs that were guarding here. This warrior was not teleported out on his own.
After a while, another warrior came. This time, he was at the initial stage of the second tribulation. He was nervous and he felt sweat on his forehead.
When he came up, he didn't even prepare for a fight. He just stared at Lu Li nervously.
Lu Li squinted his eyes and looked at him. After a while, Lu Li realized that he was not going to make a move. Lu Li quickly walked over without using the Happy Steps.
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat!"
That warrior's legs trembled in fear. Then, he stepped back and shouted in terror.
Lu Li stopped and was speechless. Was he that scary?
He didn't kill or maim his opponent just now.
That warrior was teleported out. Lu Li looked around at the platforms in the air. After a while, he felt relieved.
Many powerful warriors on the list had occupied a stone platform in the air and they were all winning. Lu Li wouldn't fight against them for now.
Yun Kaiyue, Tang Ning and Mengyun were not far away from him. They were also winning.
Qin Zhan had won four in a row on another stone platform. Lady Qiong was also winning.
"Feng Yima is good!"
Lu Li saw that Feng Yima had been standing on the stone platform. Feng Yima was on the stone platform before Lu Li did. He must have fought several times already.
Lady Yi and Gan Lin were also on the stone platforms. Clearly, they were winning.
There were more than 10,000 warriors in this tournament. Most of them were warriors of the second tribulation. It was reasonable for warriors of the third tribulation to win in a row, unless they were unlucky enough to run into a powerful warrior of the third tribulation.
Just like when Lu Li fought against Lady Mu. If Lu Li was not as powerful as Lady Mu, then he wouldn't be able to win in a row. He would have to challenge again and it would be slower for him to accumulate points.
This was a reasonable strategy. It was a test of both fighting abilities and luck. Sometimes, luck was important as well. Luck was also a part of one's power.
"Whoosh!"
Clearly, Lu Li's luck was not very good. A figure flew up as fast as a rainbow. A girl with elegant and cold temperament landed in front of Lu Li.
"A talented disciple of a hidden family!"
Lu Li's expressions grew solemn. Qin Zhan told him about this girl. She was definitely more powerful than Qin Zhan.
She wasn't on the list, but she should be as powerful as the top 20 on the list.
