Chapter 558: It’s Over
🕑 Added 2024-11-09 11:46:46 +0000 UTC"Teammate Lin Qian has used a designated item: Boiling Blood, increasing Emperor Lin’s physical strength by tenfold, effective only in the Joy Arena for half an hour."
"Teammate Lin Qian has used a designated item: Fighting Spirit, increasing Emperor Lin’s attack power by tenfold, effective only in the Joy Arena for half an hour."
"Teammate Lin Qian has used a designated item: Heightened Focus, increasing Emperor Lin’s soul strength by tenfold, effective only in the Joy Arena for half an hour."
"Teammate Lin Qian has used a designated item: Dashing Appearance, ensuring Emperor Lin’s clothing and hairstyle remain pristine, effective only in the Joy Arena for half an hour."
…
As the last ethereal voice echoed, Emperor Lin turned his head, looking at his son in confusion.
He couldn’t fathom what was happening. Thanks to his son, he felt as though he had been elevated to a nearly divine state in this strange place.
Emperor Lin even believed that, in his current condition, he could easily handle all ten of the Yun family’s Transcendence Realm experts alone.
However, the rules of the Joy Arena required one-on-one duels. As a result, this situation would turn into a one-sided massacre.
"It seems that as long as Qian’er crushes one of those crystals, my strength will undergo some strange enhancement, even that odd ‘dashing appearance’ one," Emperor Lin thought with a wry smile.
He could already feel the effects of the Dashing Appearance item. No matter how much he moved or how violently he attacked, his hair and robes remained perfectly neat, kept in place by an invisible force, making him look incredibly elegant.
If any players from Lin Qian’s previous life were here, they would surely shout, "Heaven help us, it’s Summer Shadows throwing money around again!"
In Lin Qian’s previous life, the Joy Arena was an interactive feature in a game, allowing players to pull others into this space for one-on-one battles.
The designated items could only be purchased with real money through the in-game store or occasionally obtained from loot boxes for warriors or battle pets.
Back then, Lin Qian had been thoroughly engrossed in this mode. With the enormous inheritance he had received, he didn’t need to think twice about anything and would max out his spending on loot boxes, reaching the system’s limits.
In the fantasy game economy, Lin Qian's player name, Summer Shadows, had consistently ranked at the top of the spending leaderboard.
For example, the Unlimited Power item alone cost 100 Huaxia currency.
As the halftime break ended, the barrier between Emperor Lin and Yun Yi disappeared.
"Thunderous River of Fury!"
The moment the barrier vanished, Emperor Lin’s Thunder Night Sword surged forward, releasing a torrent of thunderous soul power that roared toward Yun Yi like a river.
In an instant, Yun Yi, holding his giant shield, was engulfed by the torrent of soul power. He struggled to hold his shield steady, trying to resist the overwhelming force.
But with Emperor Lin’s attack power now significantly enhanced, Yun Yi was forced to take several steps back, and the shield in his hands began to tremble.
"Thunderous River of Fury!"
"Thunderous River of Fury!"
"Thunderous River of Fury!!!"
Emperor Lin relentlessly unleashed the same soul skill over and over again. The powerful thunderous spear strikes continuously battered Yun Yi’s shield.
Watching this scene from the platform, Lin Qian couldn’t help but praise, "As expected of my father. He immediately figured out the best way to use the Unlimited Power item in combat."
With his soul power no longer depleting, Emperor Lin didn’t need to worry about conserving energy. He could repeatedly use his soul skills without any hesitation.
On the metallic road, Emperor Lin was doing exactly that, repeatedly thrusting his spear forward, launching an endless barrage of attacks at Yun Yi.
The soul power assault on Yun Yi’s shield never ceased.
Yun Yi’s usual battle strategy had always been to defend, patiently wearing down his opponents’ soul power before striking back and killing them.
But he had never been in such a frustrating situation. His opponent’s soul power simply wasn’t being consumed. When he had heard the ethereal voice earlier, Yun Yi had already realized how dire his situation was.
Now, he was experiencing the terrifying force of these endless attacks firsthand.
In the game from Lin Qian’s past life, when a wealthy player used the Unlimited Power item, the only way to counter it was for the opposing player to use the same item. Otherwise, there was no effective way to respond.
If you lost, you lost—it only meant your character died once.
But in this world, there was no such thing as a second chance after death.
Boom!
With one final blast of soul power, Yun Yi’s figure was completely obliterated, leaving no trace behind.
Emperor Lin twirled his spear before resting it on his back, calmly looking ahead.
Yun Yi had fallen just like that, without even a chance to fight back.
Could he have fought back? With Emperor Lin restored to full health, his speed, soul power defense, physique, and attack strength all multiplied tenfold, and his soul power no longer depleting—it was as if an unstoppable force had descended upon Yun Yi.
An enemy like this shouldn’t have existed, yet here he was.
The red light circle reappeared, but none of the Yun family members dared step forward, not even the Yun family elders.
Thirty breaths later, the Joy Arena forcibly dragged another Yun family member into the fight—a powerful Awakening Realm expert rather than one of the elders.
Once again, the battle ended without suspense.
Coincidentally, every Yun family member forcibly pulled into the arena afterward was at the Awakening Realm, and none of the Yun family elders were selected.
"Emperor Lin has won ten consecutive victories. He must rest for half an hour before continuing to fight." At that moment, the ethereal voice echoed once more, and Emperor Lin was pulled back to the blue platform where Lin Qian stood.
A lucky break!
Seeing this, the Yun family members on their platform couldn’t hide their delight.
With Emperor Lin’s terrifying enhancements now on a time limit, there was finally a chance they could win.
"It’s a good thing we didn’t go out there, or we would’ve been slaughtered for nothing," one of the Yun family elders breathed a sigh of relief.
Shing!
Just then, Lin Qian waved his hand, and suddenly, hundreds of designated Joy Arena items appeared in front of him, their total value in his past life amounting to around 3,000 to 4,000 Huaxia currency.
"When Father goes back into the fight, which ones should I use next?" Lin Qian muttered, frowning as he pondered over the hundreds of crystals before him.
On the Yun family platform, several Yun family members fainted at the sight of the vast array of crystals.
Led by Yun Menghai, the remaining Yun family elders turned as pale as death, their eyes filled with despair.
It’s over!
