177: The second strange creature (2/3)

"These stats? Awesome..."

Regarding Shadow's initial talent, Li Si's thousands of words were hard to express, eventually condensed into "awesome".

Meanwhile, the chat channel of Everlasting had already exploded.

"Shadow God! ▄█▔▉●"

"Shadow God! ▄█▔▉●"

"Impressive!"

"Insane!"

"Hundredfold damage! Permanent attribute increase! It's simply heaven-defying!"

"Is this Shadow God's initial talent? ▄█▔▉●"

"..."

Closing the guild chat channel, Li Si looked toward Area 66, scrutinizing every player...

Endless Corpse Hand... All Heavens Know-It-All... Wu Zui...

Of course, at this same moment, the other players were also scrutinizing Li Si.

"Is this Crazy God?"

"He's very tall, has a straight posture, and a very good temperament."

"He doesn't seem very old."

Various thoughts rose in the minds of Wu Zui and the others.

However, a few seconds later, everyone's gaze unanimously converged on A Smile is Enough.

To say A Smile is Enough was lucky, he was possessed by a Ghost Accomplice.

To say A Smile is Enough was unlucky, he entered the Martial Arts Tournament Global Finals and even became the runner-up in the individual competition.

Therefore, everyone was quite interested in A Smile is Enough.

...

Golden light bloomed and leaped in his eyes as the Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking fell upon A Smile is Enough, and Li Si's heart skipped a beat.

Is this A Smile is Enough a lucky fellow?

Or did he step in dog shit when he left home this morning?

He was actually possessed by an eerie creature again.

Or rather, in reality, had he been possessed by two types of eerie creatures all along?

ID: A Smile is Enough (Jie · Lurking)

Level: Level 39 (Level 99) *The attributes in brackets are the real ones.*

HP: 34,585 (20 Billion)

Attack: ...

Talents: [Initial Talent] [Heavenly Punishment Instant Kill] [Wrath of Lightning]...

Skills: ...

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking ①: Jie, a formless and substanceless eerie creature with a long life, ageless and immortal. Escaped from the Fallen Land and possessed the player A Smile is Enough, planning to wipe out players from all countries in the team competition.

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking ②: Insidious, patient, dormant, longing for great achievements.

Divine Pupil of Illusion Breaking ③: Fears light-attribute attacks, fears fire-attribute attacks, fears lightning-attribute attacks.

"..."

Li Si was speechless with surprise.

He felt that A Smile is Enough's fate was truly ill-fated, and wondered exactly where A Smile is Enough had gone to be noticed by two eerie creatures and possessed by both at the same time.

"Everyone, how should we handle the team championship?" All Heavens Know-It-All withdrew his gaze from A Smile is Enough, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"I'll smash their dog heads with my magic wand!" Meng Tainai said, rolling up her sleeves.

A little boy just over 1.6 meters tall, with muscles bulging high on his arms; he looked like a violent person at first glance.

"I can kill 99% of the foreigners with damage reflection just by standing still." Wu Zui said indifferently, arms crossed.

"There's no need to plan, just do as you please."

"As the top ten of the war zone, our Xia Country has a population of 1.5 billion. More than 90% of the other war zones don't even have a population as large as Mountain City. In terms of quality, they aren't even fit to carry our shoes."

"Well said! The Bangzi War Zone has a population of only tens of millions; how powerful can the players they produce be?"

"The only one that makes me wary is the Tian Zhu War Zone."

"The overall strength of the experts in the Tian Zhu War Zone is decent."

"..."

Iced Explosion and the others chatted idly...

At this time, a private message from All Heavens Know-It-All arrived as expected.

"Crazy God, there's another eerie thing inside A Smile is Enough."

"I already know. You don't need to worry about it; I'll deal with it myself." Li Si checked the projection of the Barren Arrow in his backpack.

Absolute hit! Absolute kill! So what if it's a Jie? One-hit kill!

Moreover, at this time, he was no longer the person he was in the Novice Village. He didn't need to borrow Wang Shidao's divine power and could hold his own.

"Thank you, Crazy God, for protecting Xia Country. ▄█▔▉●"

"No need for thanks. We are all people of Xia Country. I also have parents and relatives."

Li Si was not a loner; on the contrary, he had many relatives. His grandparents and maternal grandparents, all relatives within three generations, were still alive and well.

"I still have to thank you! The high-level officials of Xia Country have already prepared a thank-you gift, which will be delivered in a few days. Crazy God, please don't decline."

"Don't worry, I won't decline."

Time passed, and the preparation time for the team finals ended.

[Beep!]

[Prompt: The team competition is about to begin.]

[Prompt: The team competition will follow a battle royale format. The final rankings will be determined based on the order of elimination.]

[Prompt: If the Xia Country War Zone wins the team championship, the Xia Country War Zone will unlock the double championship achievement, and all Xia Country players will receive generous rewards.]

[Prompt: Countdown 30... 29... 28...]

"Darn it! That damned Xia Country!"

"xi ba! We absolutely cannot let Xia Country take the team championship!!"

"Baka! Why am I feeling panicked?"

"Hahaha! Because you're afraid of Xia Country's rise, you're afraid of Xia Country's reckoning."

"Exactly! Once the national war begins, East Island Country will be the first to bear the brunt!"

"Baka! Xia Country cannot take the team championship!"

"Hurry up and cooperate! All war zones cooperate to eliminate Xia Country!"

"..."

As the team competition was about to begin, global players grew tense once again.

The most nervous were, of course, the people of East Island and Goryeo, fearing a settling of scores later.

"Rumble..."

The Bianhuang Arena vibrated as the 230 areas merged into one.

Then a barrier rose, enveloping the entire arena.

[Beep!]

[Prompt: The First Martial Arts Tournament Under Heaven — Team Finals officially begins.]

[Prompt: The First Martial Arts Tournament Under Heaven — Team Finals officially begins.]

[Prompt: The First Martial Arts Tournament Under Heaven — Team Finals officially begins.]

The system prompts refreshed hundreds of times in an instant.

In the Bianhuang Arena, the war zones of Goryeo, East Island, Freedom, Tian Zhu... England, and others gathered and reached a consensus.

They were extremely tacit. Even without speaking, they knew each other's intentions: eliminate the Great Xia Country first.

More than a hundred players closed in on Li Si and the others.

"Holy crap! When gods fight, it's the mortals who suffer!"

"Look quickly, how fast those small war zones are running!"

"How powerful can players from weak war zones with populations of less than ten million be? They aren't even as powerful as the experts from our main cities."

"These people really have no shame!"

"Heh, the winner takes all! In the past, eight nations entered Xia; today, seventeen war zones unite. They're out to destroy Xia Country!"

"west eight! Destroy Xia Country's prestige!"

"..."

At this moment, the live broadcast room for the finals was in an uproar.

Facing the alliance of seventeen war zones, Li Si was unconcerned, Endless Corpse Hand remained motionless, and Meng Tainai had already rolled up her sleeves...

However, at this blood-pumping moment,

A Smile is Enough suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Wahahaha..."

"An achievement for the ages!"

"Shall belong to me, Alma!"

A terrifying aura was born within A Smile is Enough's body.

"Boom—"

A cyan light and shadow flew out of A Smile is Enough's body, condensing into a ghostly figure in mid-air the next instant.

[Jie — Alma] (Legendary Monarch)

Level: 99

HP: 20 Billion

Attack: 350,000

Talents: ...

Skills: ...

...

"Level 99 Legendary Monarch?"

The contestants in the Bianhuang Arena widened their eyes.

"What's going on? Why did a Monarch appear?"

"Despicable Xia Country people actually cooperating with NPCs!"

"west eight!"

"The Xia Country people are going to make a move on us!"

"..."

At this moment, the contestants' hearts were pounding. What a Great Xia Country, to actually be so malicious.

...
