126: It’s not over yet, keep challenging!

However, Li An was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world at this moment.

After killing the blood-robed man, Li An first inquired with the Paradise about how much time he had left. After learning that only half a day had passed, he immediately chose to continue the challenge.

“Ding! Match successful.”

“Tip: As your winning streak has reached 401 consecutive victories, each subsequent successful challenge will directly match you with a higher-ranked Contractor.”

“This rule is quite good.”

Listening to the prompt in his ear, Li An’s gaze swept across the translucent screen in front of him, and he smiled faintly.

The next second, the scene around him suddenly changed. Unlike before, this time, as a challenger within the top 10,000, the battle scene was determined by the challenged party.

Without a doubt, the opponent would certainly choose a battle scene that could maximize his strength, giving him an advantageous position from the start.

Li An did not feel any resentment about this; being able to defeat the opponent under his advantageous conditions was undoubtedly something that excited him even more.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of flowing water reached Li An’s ears. Li An suddenly found himself in a small stream with water flowing through it, and opposite him stood an alien with entirely azure skin.

“Human?”

The moment Li An saw the alien, the alien also saw his opponent for this round. But when he saw Li An, the alien’s expression froze. Although there were humans in the top 10,000, their numbers were not large, and any human who could enter the top 10,000 was at least ranked within the top 3,000. Seeing a human at the very end of the top 10,000 surprised him.

“Are you Pangu?”

The next second, the alien directly asked.

Actually, this was easy to guess. The name “Pangu” was currently spreading like wildfire in the outside world. As for humans, those in the top 10,000 were at least ranked within the top 3,000, and he knew almost all of them. The appearance of a stranger he had never seen before in the top 10,000 couldn’t help but make him connect the dots.

“Mm.”

Although he was a bit surprised why the other party recognized him, Li An still nodded, which could be considered a greeting.

He wasn't here to make enemies, so since the other party was so polite, he naturally wouldn't act aloof.

“It really is you!!!”

Seeing Li An admit it, the alien’s expression suddenly changed drastically. Although his ranking was higher than Li An’s, who in the outside world didn’t know that this monster had entered the top 10,000 with a continuous winning streak?

No one knew how many consecutive victories this monster had achieved. Even the opponents who had fought against Li An had no idea of the true extent of Li An’s strength.

But there was one thing that opponents who had fought Li An all agreed on: Li An was a monster.

A true monster!

There was no fancy footwork in battles with Li An, only one punch. With Li An’s single punch, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

This information also came from Contractors in the Paradise who had encountered Li An. After the top 10,000, the number of Contractors in the Paradise was as numerous as cattle. Some lucky ones, after encountering Li An, were directly sent back to the womb with one punch.

When their main bodies woke up again, recalling the second before their consciousness plunged into darkness, they were surprised to find that they only remembered a fist constantly enlarging before their eyes, and then they lost consciousness.

“I surrender!”

“I surrender!!!”

At this moment, after learning that the human in front of him was Pangu, the alien immediately shouted loudly towards the void in front of him.

And as the opponent voluntarily surrendered, Li An immediately heard the Paradise’s prompt.

“Ding! Due to your opponent’s voluntary surrender, your ranking has risen to 9752.”

At this moment, although Li An was somewhat puzzled as to why the other party would voluntarily choose to surrender, he still chose to continue the challenge without hesitation.

Li An naturally had a competitive spirit. Now that he had understood the path he wanted to take, he also wanted to see how strong he would become by following this path and how far he could go in this challenge.

“Ding! Match successful.”

The next second, the prompt of a successful match immediately sounded in Li An’s ear. At the same time, as the prompt faded, the surrounding battle scene changed once again.

However, what Li An didn’t expect was that this time, there were bursts of clamorous noise from all around. When he focused his gaze on his surroundings, he suddenly found himself in a huge arena, filled with spectators.

“Hey, a human actually showed up.”

“Who is this person?”

“Facing Power King, who cares who he is, he’s going to lose anyway.”

“Sigh, it’s just a pity I bet too little this time.”

At this moment, continuous conversations reached Li An’s ears. He chose not to speak, but simply stood still, quietly listening to the conversations around him.

But Li An’s actions actually made him discover something: the battle scenes within the Tower of Babel could be broadcast live. And this live broadcast was being done by the opponent he was about to face.

As the challenged party, the permissions granted by the Paradise were extremely generous. The challenged party could even sell the live broadcast of the current battle to earn income, and also receive an additional commission from the bets placed during the live broadcast.

However, it is worth noting that because these actions were the challenged party’s autonomous behavior, the challenger was actually unaware of all this. To motivate the challenger, the only advantage the Paradise gave the challenger was that if he won the current battle, the challenger would directly receive the income that originally belonged to the challenged party.

And the defeated party, who was originally the challenged, would bear the cost of the live broadcast alone.

Therefore, unless one had absolute confidence in one’s own strength, the average challenged party would not dare to host such a live broadcast. After all, income and risk coexist. Once the challenger came from behind, the defeated challenged party would at least have to work as a laborer for the Paradise for several world progressions to make up for the losses of this live broadcast.

“Human?”

“Who are you?!!!”

At this moment, just as Li An was focused on listening to the conversations around him, a low, buzzing sound suddenly reached his ears. This immediately snapped Li An back to attention. He realized that the owner of this voice was not far from him, and was even… in the same arena as him.

“Are you my opponent?”

Li An, turning his direction, immediately saw the opponent he was about to face this time. It was a small Giant Race, at least three meters tall, covered in bulging muscles, giving off an immense sense of power.

Power King!

Giant Race Warrior!
