171: Chapter 168 5V5 Final Settlement

Five days.

Yang Hang was stunned for two seconds.

He felt that, at most, only about a day and a half had passed.

He didn't expect that five days had actually passed.

The Divided Soul actually hadn't woken him up.

The first thing he thought of wasn't the heated Faction Sequence Battle victory or the crisis in the Individual Sequence Contest inside the Fate Platform.

Instead, he remembered that if five days had passed all at once, wouldn't that mean he hadn't opened his treasure chests for all these days?

Wasn't this a big deal? Why hadn't the Divided Soul taken the initiative to wake him up?

But the second this thought appeared, the reason already surfaced in his mind.

Even if five days had passed and his treasure chests hadn't been fished or opened, for Yang Hang...

As long as he wanted to, the fact that he had opened the desired treasure chests at noon every day for the past few days could become reality.

Therefore, the issue of treasure chest fishing was not deemed important in the eyes of the Divided Soul.

It did not meet the criteria to wake Yang Hang.

Yang Hang understood. He pulled up the Individual Sequence Contest leaderboard and his gaze fell on the first line.

— — Five days ago.

The 18th day of the Magic Sea Calendar, evening.

When Yang Hang's consciousness sank into the microscopic energy world of the training room, the strand of Divided Soul left in the Karmic Void Realm took over everything.

The Divided Soul was not an independent consciousness. To explain it concretely:

Yang Hang's spiritual body was like a ball covered in prickles.

The main Divine Sense was the ball itself, and the Divided Soul was the prickles.

The prickles grew from the ball, were connected to the ball, and were a part of the ball.

It was equivalent to limbs to a torso, or fingers to a palm.

Yang Hang just liked to actively blur the neural sensing architecture from his central brain to this "prickle," so it wouldn't interfere with his main body's deep thinking.

So from the outside, the Divided Soul and the Clone each performed their duties, operating like two independent individuals.

One kept an eye on the Fate Platform. The other continued to participate in the Faction Sequence Battle as Yang Hang's "Little Luck Technique" identity.

The daily management of the Fate Platform, the maintenance of the Karmic Trading Realm, the public opinion monitoring of the Symphony Realm, the data collection progress of Alola — the Divided Soul handled it all in an orderly manner.

Yang Hang's Clone, in the identity of "Little Luck Technique," continued to coordinate in the 5v5 Faction Sequence Battle with the members of the Wall of Despair and Lucky Squad.

With the Eye of the Greedy Wolf in hand, the "luck" of Little Luck Technique combined with the critical hit properties of the Gold Tier weapon, the Clone fought exceptionally well.

The only thing that didn't move — was the number of wins in the Individual Sequence Contest.

1500.

It remained completely motionless.

On the 18th day, Yang Hang's ranking was still first.

On the 19th day, however, it slid to over 1000th place.

On the morning of the 20th day, it slid directly out of the top 10,000.

Occasionally, someone in the Symphony Realm would mention it.

"Did Fate Master's individual battle ranking drop again?"

"Normal, normal, it was the same last time. It kept dropping and then suddenly skyrocketed by over 800 wins in one night."

"Right, we have experience now. Fate Master just has this style — either he doesn't fight, or when he does, he goes all out in one go."

"Stay calm, stay calm, the Faction Sequence Battle is the main event."

Having the experience from the last time when he stayed at 662 wins and then skyrocketed to 1500 in one night, the Yanhuang Survivors had an surprisingly stable mindset this time. No one panicked, no one was anxious.

On the other hand, among the Survivors of other civilizations, some were very concerned about these leaderboard changes. Hans Weber was the most excited one among them.

On the noon of the 19th day, after finishing his 1721st individual battle, he pulled up the leaderboard.

[Rank 1: Hans Weber (Teuton), Wins: 1701]

[Rank 1387: Yang Hang (Yanhuang), Wins: 1500]

He stared at the "1500" number that hadn't changed for three days, and a trace of ecstasy flashed in his blue-gray eyes.

As expected. Fate Master Yang Hang's old habit had flared up again.

After rushing, he had run out of steam — not because he couldn't fight anymore, but because he didn't want to.

"Still 1500 wins, I've surpassed him by over 200 wins, hahahaha." Hans said in a low voice, the arc of his mouth growing wider. "Next, I will widen the gap even more, exert force, exert force!!"

He clicked the match button.

Lightning arcs crackled at his fingertips.

Time quickly arrived at the 20th day of the Magic Sea Calendar.

Noon.

One hour left until the settlement of the first round of the 5v5 Faction Sequence Battle.

The discussion craze on the entire Fate Platform was no longer on the individual battle leaderboard. Everyone's eyes were locked on the real-time win leaderboard of the Faction Sequence Battle.

[Faction Sequence Battle · 5v5 · Real-time Win Leaderboard (Settlement Countdown: 01:00:00)]

[Rank 1: Yanhuang · Wall of Despair, Wins: 792]

[Rank 2: Yanhuang · Lucky Squad, Wins: 781]

[Rank 3: Fog City · Red Dragon Knights, Wins: 643]

[Rank 4: Stars and Stripes · Freedom Falcon, Wins: 642]

[Rank 5: Teuton · Iron Cross, Wins: 639]

The two Yanhuang teams hung high at the top of the list, leaving the third place behind by nearly 150 wins.

150 wins.

One hour.

Calculated by the match interval and single-match duration, even if the Iron Cross squad won every match from now on, it would be impossible to catch up.

It's secure.

The Symphony Realm was instantly drowned in the cheers of the Yanhuang Survivors.

"It's secure, it's secure, it's secure!!! A gap of 150 wins, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't catch up!"

"Wall of Despair! Light of the Yanhuang Civilization!!!"

"Lucky Squad are monsters too! 781 wins! Two teams sweeping the champion and runner-up spots!"

"Old Man Zheng is awesome! Chairman Shen is awesome! Zhang Haotian is awesome! Little Luck Technique is awesome!"

"Grandpa Guan Tiezhu is TQL! That Rock Armor standing in front, the video of the five people on the opposite side hacking for a minute without dropping a single drop of life ring blood, I watched it eight times!"

At the same time, the truly fierce battle was happening between third and fourth place.

Fog City · Red Dragon Knights — 643 wins.

Stars and Stripes · Freedom Falcon — 642 wins.

A difference of one win.

The foreign civilization channel of the Symphony Realm was equally boisterous.

[Tom Baker (Fog City): Red Dragon Knights, go! One win! Only one win away! Hold it for me!]

[David Reeves (Stars and Stripes): Freedom Falcon, charge! What's a one-win gap! Three minutes per match, there's still 60 minutes left!]

In the next hour, the performance of the two teams began a crazy seesaw battle.

643 vs 642.

647 vs 647.

651 vs 652.

653 vs 653.

Every time the numbers jumped, the Symphony Realm erupted in cheers or wails. The Yanhuang Survivors happily held snacks bought from the food god shrine, sitting in the comment section watching the show.

"Hahahaha, Fog City and Stars and Stripes are fighting!"

"Brilliant, brilliant! This is the charm of competition!"

"I declare: This is the most brilliant hour since the beginning of the Magic Sea Calendar."

"Don't rush, I'm going to the food god shrine to buy some melon seeds."

Exactly 12:00 noon.

Settlement.

The leaderboard locked.
