173: Competition system, Thunder Comes (1/3)

All Heavens Game Live Streaming System.

Players frantically poured into the live stream room named "Global Finals."

"Swish—"

The vast and boundless Bianhuang Arena came into view.

"Holy cow, awesome!"

"Is this the Global Finals venue?"

"It's so cool."

"East Island Country, victory!"

"Korea, victory!"

......

Bullet comments flew across the live stream, with players cheering for their respective War Zones.

"Where are the players?"

"Why haven't they appeared yet?"

Many players were getting impatient.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...."

At this moment, a figure appeared in the camera, enveloped in blazing lightning.

"This person is Lightning Eye from the Mao Xiong War Zone. He controls lightning and paralysis," knowledgeable players frantically sent bullet comments.

"Boom!"

The Bianhuang Arena trembled as a bald, burly man descended from the sky with a loud crash.

"This is the Great Brahma from the Tian Zhu War Zone! His physical body is unparalleled, and his fists can shatter mountains!" Someone recognized the bald man.

"Swish, swish, swish...."

Then, figures began to appear, each radiating a brilliant aura, like sharp, peerless weapons, standing on the Bianhuang Arena.

"Hero King from the England War Zone!"

"Alifa from the Germany-Italy War Zone."

"Black Dragon from the Goryeo War Zone!"

"Light of Heaven from the Free War Zone."

"Haha! They're all here, they're all here!"

"This will be a peak competition!"

......

Li Si appeared silently in a corner of the Bianhuang Arena.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations on arriving at a special area: Bianhuang Arena.]

[Hint: The First Martial Arts Tournament Under Heaven - Global Finals will be held here throughout.]

Li Si's appearance didn't attract anyone's attention.

Because he had hidden his ID and changed into a different outfit.

No longer all black, but entirely gray.

"Where is Ghost Accomplice?"

This was the question Li Si cared about most.

As for the players in the Global Finals, their threat to him was almost negligible.

[Ding!]

[Global Finals - Individual Tournament officially begins.]

[Total participants: 2300.]

[Matching groups will begin soon. The grouping mode is 'same War Zone exclusion.' This means players from the same War Zone will not be placed in the same group.]

These hint messages popped up in front of all players.

Including the audience watching the live stream, everyone could see them.

"Good!"

"This mechanism is good!"

Global players all approved of this grouping mode.

At least there wouldn't be internal conflict.

[Ding!]

[Hint: Each group has 10 players, totaling 230 groups.]

"Clap, clap, clap...."

Dark spatial rifts rose on the Bianhuang Arena, separating the massive arena into 230 distinct areas.

Each area was marked with its corresponding number above it.

[Ding!]

[Hint: You have been assigned to Group 144.]

Including Li Si, 10 players were teleported into one area.

In an area the size of several football fields, 10 players looked at each other from a distance, their eyes filled with wariness.

Li Si's eyes also held wariness.

However, he wasn't wary of the opponents in Area 144, but of the Ghost Accomplice hidden within the Bianhuang Arena.

Ever since he arrived, he hadn't stopped searching, but he still hadn't found any trace of Ghost Accomplice.

[Ding!]

[The group stage mode is elimination.]

[Only two players can advance from each group.]

As this system hint popped up, the players in Area 144 began to move.

The mage from the xi ba! War Zone was the first to act.

"Boom—"

Blazing flames swept through, engulfing the entire area.

"Flame Art!"

"Dragon Slayer!"

An assassin reacted too slowly and was instantly killed by the flames. But the next second, a green light rose, and he revived on the spot.

Li Si looked at the assassin, checking his talents.

Among five or six talents, he found a permanent talent called 'Death Revival': Revive immediately after death, one-hour cooldown, death count can be stacked, maximum ten stacks, currently nine stacks remaining.

Revival ability!

And he could revive ten times!

Li Si was filled with envy; this was a talent he desired and had long yearned for.

The surging flames swept past his body.

But they failed to cause him any damage.

-0!

Li Si's health bar didn't even appear.

"This... he..."

This sent shivers down the spines of the other nine players.

"Such high defense!"

At this moment, the other nine players in Area 144 exchanged knowing glances, then reached a consensus, their killing intent directed at Li Si.

"Seeking death!"

Li Si raised his hand and shot an arrow, striking the assassin through the air from hundreds of meters away.

"Desolate Arrow - No Edge!"

The massive elemental arrow accurately hit the assassin.

-3,661,212! Critical Hit

-22,451,086! Skill - Life Scourge

Damage numbers popped up, instantly killing the assassin.

"Hiss.... Such high damage!!"

The eight players' eyes widened instantly. Such terrifying damage? Was this person really a player? Are you sure he isn't a disguised Monarch NPC?

"20 million true damage?"

The assassin trembled after reviving, not daring to look directly at Li Si.

"Don't provoke me! Otherwise, you'll die."

Li Si rose with the wind, soaring into the sky's clouds, overlooking the Bianhuang battlefield.

This situation immediately caught the attention of the audience.

"Holy cow? It seems something's happening in Area 144?"

As such bullet comments floated out, players quickly switched their cameras to Area 144, seeing the nine players on the ground and Li Si in the sky.

"xi ba! What's going on?"

"Can he fly? Could he be Crazy God? His build is similar, and his aura matches."

"It's not necessarily Crazy God; many big shots can fly at this stage."

"What is he doing?"

"Looking out from afar, he's observing the whole situation!!"

......

The nine players on the ground were fighting fiercely, a veritable deathmatch.

"Holy crap? Awesome!"

"The other players in Area 144 seem to not dare provoke him."

"They've already tacitly agreed that the one in the sky will definitely advance."

"They're competing for the other advancement spot."

"Area 144 is a hell-level difficulty!"

At this moment, more and more players were attracted to Area 144.

Tiannan Province, Bincheng.

"His dad! Look! Is the player in the sky in Area 144 Little Si? He looks so much like him!" Zhang Xian shouted excitedly.

"His build is very similar, but it probably isn't; the probability is too low. There are billions of All Heavens Game players, and many players have a similar build to Little Si," Li Da Hai said, shaking his head.

"I'll call and ask," Zhang Xian raised her hand to pick up her phone.

"Don't call. If he is Little Si, calling will disturb him. If he isn't Little Si, there's no need to call. So, no matter what, don't call."

"But my intuition tells me he is Little Si."

"Even so, don't call. Do you want to disturb him?"

"Okay, okay."

......

Bianhuang Arena, Area 144.

Li Si's eyes lit up, and his lips curled into a slight smile.

"Hehe, Ghost Accomplice, I found you."

In Area 199, a mage player floated in mid-air, with an ID above his head.

[Ghost Accomplice - Xia Country War Zone]

"Xia Country boy, if you have the guts, come down!"

"xi ba! Weak Xia Country people!"

"Baka!"

"FUCK!"

The other nine players were extremely hostile towards Ghost Accomplice.

More precisely, they were extremely hostile towards Xia Country.

Because all nine of them, without exception, came from hostile War Zones such as Korea, Freedom, East Island, and England.

"Hehehe! Since you sincerely call for me, I shall bestow upon you a magnificent death," Ghost Accomplice laughed wildly, raising his hand towards the sky.

"Lightning come!!"
