Chapter 247: Chapter 221: Little Wu’s Battle of Settings!

In the depths of the mist.

Nina floated in midair, her indifferent gaze directed toward the Void.

"How is the situation?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The Elf King and Barbaric General you planted, along with dozens of others, have established nine major factions in the city. Now, most professionals have ’coincidentally’ found them and are gradually shifting into a mode of mutual slaughter," Nina said.

"How many professionals are there?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"736, and the number is still decreasing," Nina said.

"Let them kill each other. If they come to their senses and stop the killing, we’ll make our next move," Wu Xiaode said.

"I assume they won’t stop. In my perception, they are slaughtering each other in large numbers, with only a very few individuals leveling up alone in the wilderness."

"Then we’ll wait, and it’s a good time for us to rest."

Wu Xiaode stretched lazily and sat down on the ground to rest.

After a while.

"Only 165 left," Nina said.

"Inform the Elf King and the others that they can now be summoned by professionals — as long as they pay a certain amount of Soul Power or its equivalent, they can help in the killing of other professionals," Wu Xiaode said.

"Informed," Nina said.

Another while passed.

"Only 38 left — wait, there seems to be a change!"

"What’s happening?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Nina’s eyes flashed with panic as she quickly said,

"The remaining 38 have stopped fighting each other — the Divine Beast of Law that was chasing me has remotely controlled these people and is rapidly leveling them up."

"Do these people still have money?" Wu Xiaode asked, concerned.

"They’re drained," Nina said.

"That’s fine," Wu Xiaode sighed in relief, "let them level up, and we’ll calmly prepare for the fighting tournament."

Nina looked worried and said in a low voice, "Now, the one controlling these people is that Divine Beast of Law, what do we do?"

Before she finished speaking, a fluctuation suddenly came from the Void.

The Book of the Dead immediately opened, revealing rows of ice crystal words:

"The current world’s laws have been remotely altered."

"Additions to the world settings are as follows:"

"The champion of the fighting tournament will battle the hidden Divine Beast of Law in this world, to fight for life and death."

Wu Xiaode glanced over, his expression unchanged.

But Nina clutched Wu Xiaode’s arm and said with a trembling voice, "This is bad, the opponent has expended a significant amount of power to change my world settings."

"What have they changed it to?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"The champion has to fight me for life and death!" Nina said.

Ding!

A sound suddenly rang out in the Void:

"The remaining 38 have all advanced to Level 35."

"The fighting tournament is about to begin!"

In a flurry, Nina said, "What do we do? The opponent has made a move, is there still a way out for me and Nina?"

"Haven’t we already prepared our setting?" Wu Xiaode said.

"But I’m not confident..."

"Leave it to me, let me go over now."

"Alright, go!" Nina exclaimed.

Wu Xiaode’s figure flashed, and he disappeared from the mist.

He appeared on a wide arena.

The arena was already surrounded by professionals, including the Elf King and a few others.

Wu Xiaode, clad in full Battle Armor and wearing a mask engulfed in a bit of mist, his voice becoming rugged:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the grand fighting tournament of the worlds is about to begin!"

"Please freely form into teams of three and register for the preliminary round!"

As the voice died down.

The archer known as Garcia stepped forward, his voice cold, "I was wondering how it survived until now, turns out it had helpers."

As he spoke, the other professionals around him echoed with the same words.

It seemed as if something was secretly controlling these people!

—It was that Law Divine Beast!

Wu Xiaode declared:

"Now, please freely form into three-member teams; the preliminary will start immediately."

Garcia stared at him coldly, "Mortal, meddling in the battle between Laws, your end will be extremely miserable."

"There are three minutes left, folks, those without teams will be eliminated directly," Wu Xiaode announced with a smile, paying no heed to the threats.

Garcia’s eyebrows twitched.

Why is this mortal so arrogant?

Doesn’t he know that he’s about to die?

Garcia declared gravely:

"Change settings—turn the whole field into a melee, victory goes to the last one standing!"

Waves of intense fluctuations spread out in the Void.

The Book of the Dead appeared with corresponding explanations—

The settings indeed had been changed!

Nina’s panicked voice rang in Wu Xiaode’s ears:

"It’s changed the world’s settings again!"

"Why keep changing settings, can it modify the world without limit?" Wu Xiaode frowned and said.

"Not exactly, for a mature world, changing settings arbitrarily consumes a great deal of power—it’s also very taxing for it!" Nina said.

"Good..." Wu Xiaode muttered through clenched teeth.

He raised his hand and announced: "The preliminaries begin!"

The professionals immediately split into two groups.

One team gathered around Garcia, the other around the Elf King.

For a moment, both sides held their breath.

The battle was about to erupt!

Garcia looked at the Elf King shrouded in Battle Armor and a mask, finding the wisps of mist emanating from him extremely annoying.

The mist concealed the Elf King’s face, preventing him from discerning his identity!

Everyone on the opposite side was dressed like that!

Garcia then looked at Wu Xiaode, who stood aside with his arms folded.

"Go ahead."

Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

The Elf King immediately roared, "Go, brothers, take revenge for ourselves!"

The professionals holding various weapons charged toward Garcia’s team.

The two sides clashed fiercely in no time.

The fight was extremely intense.

Standing behind the crowd, Garcia took one quick glance then burst into laughter.

Wu Xiaode also started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Garcia’s face changed as he barked.

"Fighting is a joyous thing, isn’t it? I’m a fight enthusiast; I enjoy such scenes."

"Too bad, I only need one look to tell that your people are just a rabble, whereas I can control everyone at the same time. Our coordination will wipe out your team within three minutes," Garcia said.

Having said that, he grabbed his longbow, drew an arrow, placed it on the string, and pulled back with force—

Twang!

The bowstring suddenly snapped.

An electronic voice emanated from the bowstring.

"Congratulations!"

"You have triggered a hidden achievement: ’Too much tension will cause a break.’"

"Any Level 35 High-level Weapon stands a chance to win this honor!"

Garcia’s face changed, and he hurriedly looked around at the others.

The others also hastily picked up the knives, guns, sticks, clubs, spears... in their hands.

Level 35 was the pinnacle of Professional Weapons.

——To become the strongest professional, everyone had got themselves a Level 35 weapon!

On the opposing side——

The professionals led by the Elf King were all wielding Level 36 weapons!

Higher level, plus no risk of breaking!

How could they possibly fight like this!

Garcia reacted swiftly, immediately shouting, "Game levels are nullified, everyone will compete in this fighting contest using their own true strength!"

In the Void, waves of tremors that shook all directions rapidly spread throughout the entire arena.

"It’s changed the settings again." Nina whispered.

"That strong?" Wu Xiaode smiled and said.

"It has lived for countless years, while I was only born not long ago, I’m no match for it..." Nina said reluctantly.

"It’s okay."

Wu Xiaode loudly declared, "Alright, everyone please pay attention, we will now fight using our own true strength——begin!"

"Very good, it should have been like this from the start, we couldn’t ask for more!" the Elf King said solemnly.

He was still holding the weapon from the game, but his aura had completely changed.

Beside him, all the professionals concurrently emitted mighty waves of Soul Power that vibrated heaven and earth.

As for the other side——

Garcia looked around him.

He saw that the professionals beside him showed no sign of activity.

After a moment’s thought, he finally realized.

Damn it!

Everyone’s Soul Power had been drained by that game!

To attain VIP level and acquire various high-level equipment and skills, the people he controlled no longer had any surplus Soul Power to engage in a real battle.

——They might as well have fought as they had just done!

Garcia took a deep breath, suppressing the tumultuous emotions within him.

Calm down.

He was a Law Divine Beast, possessed of the power to set worlds,—how could he be defeated by such a trivial setback?

Setting...

Altering the existing world’s settings was an extremely draining act; he had already done it several times in succession.

He could not afford any more depletion, otherwise, it would become problematic to retrieve weapons from the Sin Prison.

——The last setting change must make a difference!

"The fight is changed to a one-on-one mode!"

It bellowed loudly.

The Void shook.

The professionals who had already made a move were surprised to find that all their attacks had dissipated into nothingness.

The setting had changed again!

"Only one-on-one combat, huh..."

Wu Xiaode’s gaze shifted as his thoughts raced.

From the opposite side, Garcia stepped forward and declared loudly, "Everyone, transfer your Life Force to me, let me fight!"

"As you command!"

His subordinates responded in unison.

They were seen kneeling in a circle around him, beginning to chant a complex spell.

In a while.

Every one of them turned into skeletal remains.

Only Garcia, standing in the center, began to emit a tremendous aura.

He spoke in a deep tone,

"Mortals, to engage in personal combat with me is your eternal honor."

As he was speaking, Wu Xiaode stepped forward and announced,

"Alright, please have the other contestant step forward, we shall now begin the one-on-one challenge!"

The Elf King immediately came forward, standing on the stage.

The rest withdrew.

Garcia looked at the Elf King wrapped in thick Battle Armor and then turned to Wu Xiaode.

"You... what’s your situation? Why are you still standing on the platform?"

He hesitated and asked.

"Oh, you mean me?" Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

"Yes," Garcia said, staring at him, "The setting was for one-on-one, so why are you still on the stage?"

"I’m the designated referee for this contest, didn’t you know?" Wu Xiaode said amiably.

Garcia was stunned.

Referee?

Indeed, from the beginning, this person had been announcing the competition rules.

He really was the referee.

But——

If he was the referee——

Wu Xiaode then raised his hand high and shouted, "I declare, the competition begins!"

He lowered his hand in a swift motion.

The competition officially started!

The Elf King immediately gave a bow to the referee, and then to Garcia.

Garcia was motionless for a moment.

The next instant——

Wu Xiaode immediately exclaimed, "The competition is over!"

"What? Why is it over? The fight didn’t even start!" Garcia said.

Wu Xiaode pointed at him and said, "You lack manners, you didn’t bow to the referee and your opponent, which violates the spirit of competitive sports, I declare you disqualified from the competition!"

Disqualification from the competition.

That meant losing.

And losing meant erasure.

Damn it——

"Wait! This doesn’t count, the world setting must be changed! There are no referees in this competition!"

Garcia shouted.

Followed by its bellow, waves of distortion once again spread throughout the Void.

"Swoosh," Wu Xiaode vanished from the platform.

Garcia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a battle fraught with extreme peril.

He had been so close to being disqualified and then erased on the spot!

At this moment.

He had forgotten about fetching the weapons from the Sin Prison.

——The battle at hand was proving too difficult to deal with!
