Free Web NovelChapter 108: Top Ten
"The arena master of Arena No. 2 looks like an easy target. Should we take her on?"
As the only female arena master, she naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
Soon, a Berserker jumped directly onto Arena No. 2 and challenged Red Bean Cake.
Red Bean Cake calmly summoned over a dozen little spirits.
They weren’t the human-like elves with pointed ears, but monsters similar to slimes.
However, these spirits were of different colors due to their varying attributes.
Furthermore, these spirits were all floating in mid-air.
The fire spirit was the first to launch an attack.
A fist-sized fireball flew toward the Berserker.
The small fireball, which looked wobbly and weak, exploded immediately upon hitting the player.
Following closely behind, various attacks directly surrounded the Berserker.
The Berserker lasted less than a minute; without even a chance to fight back, his health bar was emptied, and he was sent directly to the respawn point below the stage.
There was no death penalty for dying on the arena stage.
Seeing Red Bean Cake’s performance on Arena No. 2, Lucien’s eyes lit up.
Red Bean Cake’s strength was quite impressive.
Just her summoned spirits were enough to make the challenger flee in panic.
She hadn’t even needed to personally make a move.
Once an opponent left the stage, the skills the arena master had used would have their cooldowns reset.
Lucien looked at the other arenas. frёeωebɳovel.com
Similarly, the other arenas were currently in the heat of battle.
Only Lucien’s side felt a bit boring.
These guys didn’t even spare a glance at his side, let alone come to challenge him.
At this moment, the nine City Lords stood high in the sky, observing the performance of the players.
The City Lord of Qingzhou looked at Lucien’s leisurely manner and the lack of challengers, and his mouth twitched.
"That Falling into the Human World from your Wing Province is certainly taking it easy. While people are fighting for their lives on other stages, he’s fine; nobody is even challenging him."
Hearing the City Lord of Qingzhou’s words, the City Lord of Yizhou smiled and said, "The gap in strength between that kid and the other Chosen Ones is too wide."
At this time, the City Lord of Xuzhou said enviously, "Sigh, who would have thought that of the ten seedlings who were supposed to have such great talent, only one would survive?"
However, at this moment, the Liangzhou City Lord, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up: "That boy is a bit strange. It seems his temperament has been influenced by something."
Hearing the Liangzhou City Lord’s words, everyone first glanced at him, then collectively used their respective Scouting Techniques to look at Lucien.
But when they saw the information on Lucien, they all fell silent.
Only the City Lord of Yizhou gave a bitter smile and said, "Sigh, that little fellow took the divine dragon egg from within the Xuanming Pagoda."
The crowd suddenly understood; they also knew something about that egg in the Xuanming Pagoda.
No wonder when they looked just now, they felt he was very strange, as if his personal fortune was shrouded in a familiar black mist.
So it was because of that egg; no wonder!
That thing can hatch a Divine Dragon, but why was it able to stay in the Xuanming Pagoda for so long without anyone taking the dragon egg away?
Wasn’t it because everyone knew that whoever touched that egg would be tainted by great karma?
If they took the dragon egg, their Luck might even drop to a negative value.
It would be dangerous then; once Luck becomes negative, one becomes incredibly unlucky.
Nothing they do would succeed.
In more serious cases, there would even be a threat to their life.
This was why a Divine-grade existence could remain in the Xuanming Pagoda for so long.
At this moment, the Liangzhou City Lord suddenly shook his head and said, "No, he is shrouded in bad Luck, yet there is a trace of golden light on him. Although weak, that bad Luck cannot get close to him."
"In other words, that bad Luck doesn’t seem to have affected his fortune; it’s just that because he’s carried the dragon egg for a long time, his personality has been slightly influenced by it."
The City Lord of Yizhou also fell silent.
Actually, when Lucien took the dragon egg, he had subconsciously sentenced the boy to death.
No one could remain unaffected by that egg.
It was just that the boy had been so active all these days that he had simply forgotten about it.
Now that the Liangzhou City Lord mentioned it, it seemed that was indeed the case; the boy really didn’t seem to have suffered any ill effects.
"Could it be that his Luck has already exceeded a hundred points?"
But after thinking about it, the City Lord of Yizhou shook his head again.
For someone of their strength, it wasn’t actually too difficult to have Luck exceed a hundred points.
Although equipment that increases Luck is very rare, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Almost every one of them had a set of equipment specifically collected to increase Luck. freewebnσvel.cøm
However, those were painstakingly collected over countless years and with immense effort.
They would only wear them on the rare occasions they needed to open treasure chests.
"He must have some other secret! But this is better. Since his Luck hasn’t been affected and only his temperament has been slightly influenced, we can suggest to the Emperor to find a specific piece of equipment for him so his temperament is no longer affected."
Everyone nodded at the City Lord of Yizhou’s suggestion.
Among the Chosen Ones in Jiuzhou, only this one with good talent was left; they couldn’t let him grow crooked because his temperament was affected.
Their Jiuzhou Empire never had any intention of suppressing geniuses; they only feared that geniuses wouldn’t grow up.
Soon, two hours passed, and the top ten had been selected.
The order of the top ten had barely changed.
The top eight were the same top eight from the first round in the Trial Tower.
Only the ninth and tenth places failed to defend their arenas due to insufficient strength.
Seeing that the top ten results were out, the Liangzhou City Lord spoke to the gathered players: "The contestants eliminated in this round can each go to the City Lord’s Mansion to receive a piece of level 30-40 gold equipment as a reward."
"The remaining ten Chosen Ones will draw lots tomorrow at noon to decide the matchups."
