Chapter 1159: Not Coming Out Even When Dead

“I’m certain, Master,” Xu Gang nodded seriously.

Xu Fan observed the Five Colors Peak for a while longer but couldn’t find anything unusual about it either.

Then, the Wheel of Three Thousand Paths appeared behind Xu Fan, and it began to spin. Eventually, the section representing the Path of Fate started to glow slowly.

The power of fate transformed into strands of light, seeming to blend into Xu Gang’s karma.

Before long, the light returned back into the wheel.

Xu Fan stroked his chin, feeling puzzled.

“This doesn’t make sense; at my level, I should be able to sense even the schemes laid out by a sage.”

Thinking this, Xu Fan looked at Xu Gang and said, “The possibility of awakening that phrase may stem from your turbulent state of mind. Master cannot yet tell if this is an opportunity or something else.”

“Let’s wait and observe for a while. When that fluctuation strengthens, or if it guides you to certain places, I’ll follow along and take a look,” Xu Fan added.

“Thank you for your concern, Master,” Xu Gang replied.

“It’s nothing; just remember one thing: always protect yourself. The road ahead is still long,” Xu Fan said gently.

Xu Gang nodded.

“Since you’re here, stay and watch the Battle Royale live stream with me before leaving. Is your state of mind fluctuating because of this?” Xu Fan chuckled.

A light curtain appeared before the two, showing the final battle of the Battle Royale.

Watching Wang Xuanxin seemingly go against the entire world on the screen, Xu Gang felt for the first time that some events are destined.

“Did you see your junior brother challenge the data avatar from your Great Ascension stage?” Xu Fan asked while watching the live stream.

“I did,” Xu Gang nodded.

“Let’s suppose you control your Great Ascension data avatar with your current level. What would happen?”

Xu Gang fell into deep thought.

“I need to find time to try it out. In this world, time moves forward, and so do people.”

“Just like now, your junior brother is fighting with all his might against all the disciples in the final circle.”

“But do you know? According to Grape’s analysis, your junior brother will win this match.”

“But if in the next match it’s still these same disciples, your junior brother will have no chance of winning,” Xu Fan pointed at the light curtain and said.

“Disciple, I understand,” Xu Gang said, feeling somewhat silent.

At this moment, the light curtain showed that only about a hundred people remained in the final circle.

One group continued to hide in the circle, while another group joined forces to attack Wang Xuanxin, leaving only her to face them.

“For those hiding like Old Sixes, whether we can win this battle all depends on you. Come out, or in the future Battle Royales, I will target you!” Xiang Yun’s voice echoed throughout the final circle.

But the Old Sixes hidden in the final circle did not respond or come out.

“Don’t waste your effort; they won’t come out.”

“Today, we’ve fought to this point, and certainly, one side must fall, while they are the ones who will benefit the most.”

At this point, Wang Xuanxin appeared somewhat disheveled, and the celestial tool, the Five Spirit Pearls, was a little damaged.

The golden form law protecting Wang Xuanxin wasn’t as bright as it used to be. The disciples surrounding her were also feeling the strain, but they knew they couldn’t afford to slack off. Suddenly, Wang Xuanxin’s golden form law grabbed the celestial tool, the Five Spirit Pearls, and crushed it, absorbing its celestial essence.

"It’s time to end this," Wang Xuanxin declared. Her thousand-foot golden form reached up to the sky and yanked down hard. A storm made of the five elements descended from above, engulfing everyone attacking her. The Five-Element Great Storm began to spin and shrink, eliminating anyone caught in it. In the end, only Wang Xuanxin remained within the storm.

Exhausted, Wang Xuanxin stumbled across the ruins and slumped against a giant rock. She waited, hoping that Old Six would finally make a move. But after a long wait and some rest, none of the Old Six hiding in the final circle showed themselves.

"Come out," Wang Xuanxin called out to the air. "I’m in no condition to fight. Any minor divine ability from you would finish me off." But there was no response.

She checked the number of people left in the final circle and saw there were 13, including herself. As the final moments approached, the circle began to shrink rapidly. Wang Xuanxin wondered if the Old Six would finally reveal themselves. But as the circle continued to shrink, the number of remaining people dwindled.

"Are they really not coming out, even when it’s life or death?" Wang Xuanxin exclaimed, baffled by their behavior.

By now, the final circle was only ten miles across, with just three people left. "We’re down to this. Can one of you come out and talk?" Wang Xuanxin pleaded. Still, no one responded.

"Fine, I admit it. I was faking earlier. I still have enough strength to take on both of you. If you come out first, I’ll help you get second place. You know there’s a difference between second and third place rewards," Wang Xuanxin said, trying to bait them.

The eliminated disciples watching the live stream laughed. "If they came out now, they wouldn’t be called Old Six," Li Lei Hu said. He had mixed feelings about these Old Sixes who refused to show themselves. "It’s not like we’re asking for your lives. What’s the harm in coming out for one last fight?"

The final circle kept shrinking. When Wang Xuanxin saw how few people were left, her eyes narrowed. "There are only two of us left in the entire final circle. Won’t you come out and talk? I really want to know what you’re thinking," she said.

From the live stream’s perspective, one of the Old Sixes was hiding less than ten feet behind Wang Xuanxin. His expression was blank, and he stayed perfectly still, ignoring everything Wang Xuanxin said. No matter how much she prodded, he didn’t respond.

Finally, out of options, Wang Xuanxin used the last of her strength to attack the area around her indiscriminately. Even when her attacks hit Old Six, there was no reaction.

Then, a light column, half a foot in diameter, appeared in the final circle of the Battle Royale. Standing inside it would mean victory. But even after the light column appeared, Old Six didn’t show up.

With a sigh, Wang Xuanxin stepped into the light column and reluctantly claimed first place. When she exited the battle royale world, she saw Xiong Li.

"Junior Master, you were amazing!" Xiong Li said, giving her a thumbs up.

"Too kind," Wang Xuanxin replied.
