Chapter 602: Launching the First Strong Attack

No one knew that one hour before the coliseum officially started, when the betting window closed, Yi Chen, one of the contestants, had already begun to take action.

The Shadow King activated his hiding state and led Yi Chen to Daniel’s hiding place.

Unlike most other participants who stayed in the palace complex provided by the coliseum, Daniel, a local genius of Stag Star, had his own palace on Stag Star.

At this moment, he was inside his palace, within a defensive barrier.

Inside this defensive barrier were not only Daniel but also twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

These twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were all around level 200, with one reaching level 210.

Two of the twelve Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters were local strong fighters from Stag Star.

The remaining ten were powerful beings who enjoyed betting at the coliseum and had specifically come to Stag Star to watch the duel.

They had varying degrees of connections and friendships among them.

They gathered because the two local strong fighters saw that the odds for Daniel winning were very good, with a high total amount, and decided to place a heavy bet.

They understood Daniel’s strength very well and knew that in this life-and-death duel, Daniel would undoubtedly win.

Of course, coliseum battles did not guarantee absolute victory, and there were occasional upsets.

To increase their success rate, they began contacting strong fighters with whom they had met or had some acquaintance while watching the duel at the coliseum, inviting them to join in betting on Daniel.

The amount bet would not affect the outcome between the two fighters.

However, with over ten strong fighters placing heavy bets on Daniel’s victory, it could influence the outcome.

As they placed these heavy bets, the more than ten strong fighters were willing to offer Daniel some treasures and immortal materials he could use to ensure his success.

At that moment, the twelve strong beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe gathered in Daniel’s palace, teaching him how to use those treasures and explaining the functions and effects of various immortal materials.

“What a pleasant surprise!”

From the Video Clip transmitted to him by the Shadow King through his Perception Ability, Yi Chen discovered there were not only Daniel but also twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Yi Chen felt delighted.

The previous two fighters had completely wasted his time.

In just one or two minutes, he had drained their total luck completely.

No matter how powerful Daniel’s luck was, limited by his realm, the total amount wouldn’t be very high, at most just a decent grade of luck.

He could also drain it completely in one or two minutes.

With twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe present, after draining Daniel’s luck, he certainly wouldn’t need to rush back and could continue to extract more.

Unfortunately, his Luck Technique could not extract luck from multiple targets at once.

He could only take as much luck as he could get.

Yi Chen wasted no time and immediately locked onto Daniel with his Luck Technique.

Although he might not drain much luck from Daniel, this guy was his opponent in the third Death Duel, so he had to prioritize draining him first.

As the Luck Technique activated, green luck flowed into his Qi Sea like a tide.

As he expected, although Daniel was the local genius of Stag Star, it took him just over a minute to have his luck completely drained.

Yi Chen immediately shifted his focus to testing the Luck grade of the other twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

He did this because time was running short, and he needed to prioritize those with higher grades.

It turned out that the stronger the strength realm, the higher the luck grade was likely to be.

Among the twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, only two had achieved blue Luck.

One of them was the only two hundred and ten level strong fighter.

Yi Chen quickly locked onto this two hundred and ten level strong fighter and fully activated his Luck Technique.

A torrent of blue Luck surged into his Qi Sea.

Time passed minute by minute.

With about twenty minutes left before the match began, Daniel officially headed to the coliseum after mastering how to use all the treasures and understanding the effects of various immortal materials.

The twelve powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe also made their way to the coliseum stands.

What they didn’t know was that the Shadow King was still with Yi Chen, closely following the two hundred and ten level strong fighter and continuously draining his luck.

It was not until there were only four to five minutes left until the match began that Yi Chen paused his Luck Technique.

As before, he first used his teleportation ability to instantly enter the palace arranged for him at the coliseum.

Then he flew out of the palace’s defensive barriers and raced towards the competition grounds.

Just in the nick of time, he stepped onto the stage.

“He’s here, just as expected!”

“Just like before, he shows up at the last minute. This guy really is the height of arrogance.”

“This is it! With Daniel’s strength, even a quick kill wouldn’t be surprising.”

“I hope nothing goes wrong this time; I placed a heavy bet on Daniel winning!”

“Didn’t you say that under no circumstances should you go all in?”

“I had no choice! With nearly a hundred percent chance of winning and the odds at one to one point zero three, plus I lost my last two bets, I just couldn’t resist!”

As Yi Chen suddenly appeared, the noise created by over a hundred million spectators skyrocketed.

The majority of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe audience watched with great anticipation.

They all hoped that as soon as the match began, Daniel would be able to eliminate Yi Chen in an instant.

Based on their calculations, Daniel indeed had the strength to defeat Yi Chen quickly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the defensive barriers around the stage suddenly activated.

Below the stage, the referee shouted loudly.

The match officially began.

Thunderous cheers erupted throughout the stands.

“Kill him, take him down in an instant!”

“Daniel, let him know the cost of his recklessness!”

“Exactly! How dare a mere level 150 challenge a genius of level 152? Show him just how strong a level 152 genius truly is!”

“Don’t just kill him in an instant; wound him heavily and play with him slowly!”

The frenzied shouts rang endlessly.

On the stage, Daniel did not disappoint the audience.

At the moment the referee announced the start of the match, he didn’t waste a single word.

Giant branches rapidly spread out.

Countless leaves shot towards Yi Chen like a dense swarm of darts.

These leaves were not only numerous but also emitted a silvery gray light.

Their powerful aura clearly indicated they were enhanced by some treasures to increase their strength.

Clang, clang, clang…

The speeding leaves flew at astonishing speed.

However, Yi Chen was equally quick.

His immortal sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it in rapid succession, continuously slicing through the dense leaves and dodging those that slipped through.

In the blink of an eye, he rendered Daniel’s attack completely ineffective.

Both Daniel and the nearby spectators were somewhat surprised by Yi Chen.

This guy, despite taking an extraordinary pill yesterday, still showed no sign of the effects wearing off even after more than a day?

That extraordinary pill was truly remarkable.

The reason they thought this was because Yi Chen’s displayed attack, speed, and reaction had all doubled compared to yesterday.

It was precisely with this doubled enhancement in attributes that he was able to evade Daniel’s attack entirely.

Otherwise, with Yi Chen’s original strength, he would have undoubtedly suffered a heavy injury just from this round of leaf attacks.
