Chapter 859: Chapter 509: None of You Have Dueled Me, So How Do You Know You Can’t Beat Me? (Part 2)

The contestants he chose for the game are all of similar strength, so he figured this man named Shen Sui in front of him was probably about the same level.

As long as the opponents are on the same level, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

He, Li Zichuan, known as a Demonic Cultivator in the Immortal Realm, has been labeled as invincible within his level since his debut.

During the first round, he deliberately concealed his strength, wanting to see what the mastermind behind this game had in mind.

However, Li Zichuan now somewhat regretted it. ƒreewebɳovel.com

If he had known that there would be a forced duel rule later on, he would have killed more people before the puppet remembered the rule.

But truly powerful individuals have ways to maintain their strength under any rules.

Li Zichuan silently recited an incantation in his heart.

A wisp of black energy accompanied the incantation, swirling in his palm.

The puppet had already proven that Extraordinary powers could indeed be used in this game’s duels.

Since it could manipulate the cards, there was no reason he couldn’t do the same.

In fact, Li Zichuan was capable of much more than that.

Just as he was pondering how to apply his powers to the duel, the puppet slowly walked back onto the stage.

Its joints still creaked as if they were worn out, making an unpleasant squeaking noise with every step.

Even without any powerful aura enveloping it, when the puppet appeared, everyone’s expressions subtly changed.

Clearly, the second round of this death game was about to begin with the puppet’s appearance.

The puppet walked to the center of the stage and began to slowly explain the rules for the second round of this dueling game.

Unlike everyone’s expectation of determining victory by drawing lots.

Although the second round is indeed about determining the victor, there was no drawing of lots.

Before the final random assignment of opponents, players have the right to choose their opponents.

If the first round had proceeded normally, this rule would have had a psychological game aspect.

After all, according to a normal tournament schedule, those entering the second round would be those who defeated the puppet in the competition.

Since they have dueled, their dueling style and strength would have been exposed.

With this information, contestants could quickly choose opponents they could duel based on their style and strength.

Of course, such a choice is mutual; before random assignment, players have the right to refuse each other’s invitations.

However, the first round of this dueling game did not proceed normally at all.

Except for Shen Sui, the second-round contestants hadn’t dueled at all.

Of course, they weren’t skilled in Life Card Duel to begin with.

So, after the puppet finished announcing the rules, many people froze.

Everyone watched the surrounding Extraordinary beings warily.

Choosing a dueling opponent must be done cautiously.

Because in this duel, people could truly die.

After the puppet finished the rules, it merely stood there counting down.

Once it finished reciting the countdown, it would enter the random assignment phase.

Then, whatever kind of character they encountered in the duel would depend entirely on their luck.

If it truly was equality among beings, it would actually be fine.

But unfortunately, among this group, there was a Shen Sui.

If they drew Shen Sui, wouldn’t that just be a guaranteed death?

It was unknown if others would accept it, but Li Zichuan certainly could not accept that.

His many years of experience struggling in the Immortal Realm told him that unless fully prepared to fight a powerful enemy, one must avoid its edge.

In Li Zichuan’s dictionary, there was only absolute.

Either absolutely win or avoid fighting.

He would not accept anything with a possible outcome.

His mind began to race rapidly.

Before mastering the cheating techniques in the duel to defeat Shen Sui, he absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to appear on Shen Sui’s opponent list, not even by random choice.

So, to the astonishment of many, Li Zichuan boldly struck out, delivering a fatal blow to someone in the crowd.

This was an opponent he had already chosen.

In the free-for-all of the first round, although everyone was evenly matched, there were always slight differences in strength.

In such a free-for-all, these slight differences in strength were magnified greatly.

The target Li Zichuan chose to attack was one of the weaker Extraordinary beings.

In the chaos of the first round, this guy desperately tried to preserve himself but was still affected by the battlefield and seriously injured.

Although he managed to enter the second round by a stroke of luck, his injuries had blurred his consciousness.

Li Zichuan’s combat experience was clearly a cut above the rest.

He knew that delivering a fatal blow would trigger the forced duel rule.

Although his ultimate goal was to trigger this rule, before that, he had to apply a DEBUFF to the opponent he chose.

Before delivering the deadly blow, Li Zichuan cast a curse on the unfortunate guy.

Then, his killing move landed.

Sure enough, at that moment, Li Zichuan felt a powerful force, forcibly saving the opponent’s life from his grasp.

Immediately after, the forced duel began.

In front of both of them, the dueling field appeared.

The Dueling Device’s glow was particularly bright on the dim stage.

Invitation?

In Li Zichuan’s dictionary, the word invitation never existed.

Since the other party had the right to refuse his duel invitation, Li Zichuan naturally thought of making it impossible for them to refuse.

Although he was exceedingly gifted, mastering the techniques of cheating in a duel still required some time; at least before the next round, Li Zichuan absolutely did not wish to meet Shen Sui, that harbinger of death.

The forced duel rule rendered Li Zichuan’s chosen opponent without the right to refuse his duel invitation.

Because the result of refusal would be being killed directly by Li Zichuan.

Everyone was taken aback by Li Zichuan’s move.

They never expected that it could be done this way.

But upon second thought, if done this way, it seemed possible to actually avoid Shen Sui’s ploy.

So, under Shen Sui’s speechless gaze, the second-round free-for-all among the Extraordinary beings began.

Did none of you ever think about winning against me, even just a bit?

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to avoid dueling me?

I thought I already held back and made fewer moves in my first round, so I shouldn’t have shown too high a dueling standard, right?

Shen Sui even saw someone simply self-harming to make the opponent push them to the brink of death, triggering a forced duel.

No, a forced duel isn’t part of the main competition, right?

Even if the duel ends, you can’t avoid having a duel in the main event, can you?

So what’s the point of doing this?

When only one unfortunate guy was left in front of Shen Sui, he roughly understood what these guys were thinking.

As long as Shen Sui was ushered into the next round, then even with random assignment in the next stage, they wouldn’t have to worry about drawing Shen Sui, that harbinger of doom.

"...." These guys, couldn’t they apply such brilliant thinking to the duel?

Doing this leaves me with no enjoyment or experience in dueling, doesn’t it!

Shen Sui was very annoyed.

He glanced at the remaining unfortunate guy and casually quipped, "Why don’t you just end yourself?"

Shen Sui’s opponent looked extremely grim.

But after all, as an Extraordinary from another world, though not top-notch in strength, he was of average strong caliber.

Though he feared death, the pride an Extraordinary should have was still there.

He silently activated the Dueling Device.

"Not bad, at least you’re daring enough to duel me." Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly wanting to have some fun, but after an entire duel game, there wasn’t even a decent duel, probably to be laughed at by Freymia.

However, this duel needed some easing up.

He finally understood why some people would end up staying in lower ranks after smurfing.

Damn, without staying in the lower ranks, there’s no gaming experience at all, is there?
