Qi Xu retorted with dissatisfaction, but Ball 666 could no longer hold back, roaring out with its excited and resonant voice! The voice was so infectious that Qi Xu almost wanted to draw his twin blades and charge off the stage right then and there!
Our own ball is truly awesome!
[I am the chief ball in charge of this cross-region arena competition. You shut up! Regarding your rule violation this time, a fine is mandatory!]
[No shortage of money here, fine away! I'll even pay six times the fine upfront, because our Zone 666 is going to win six more times! Hahaha, Charge, Boss Whirlwind! Charge, 'Watch Me Slice You'! Charge, Little Song! Charge, War Wolves! Charge, charge, charge! Hahaha!]
Ball 666 had completely thrown caution to the wind. Since you're targeting me, looking down on me, and ignoring me no matter what, then I won't give a damn about you either! I'll focus on following my Boss Whirlwind. What do I have to fear from you?
The two balls started arguing right there on the spot, leaving everyone stunned. Qi Xu spoke up directly:
"After every 1v1 duel ends, the transparent barrier must be removed immediately. Otherwise, I will unite all 10,000 players from our entire zone to file a joint in-game report against you!"
The scene descended into chaos for a moment. Even the broadcast voices from the two balls' light screens turned into a string of electronic static. The match was paused for nearly 20 minutes before resuming.
The voice had returned to its cold, emotionless state, but Qi Xu and the others were already deeply moved. Their own ball was still fiercely loyal.
[The competition will now continue. Please welcome from Hua Country's Major Zone 01, Sub-Zone 03, 'Mountains and Rivers Flow' versus from Major Zone 88, Sub-Zone 666, 'Watch Me Slice You'.]
"Did you hear what I just proposed? Will you respond?"
[Acknowledged. After a duel concludes, the arena's transparent barrier will be automatically deactivated.]
As soon as the two stepped onto the stage, Qi Xu couldn't help but frown. Two ability users from the opposing side hadn't fought yet. The best outcome would be for him to face one and Dongfang Yuan to face the other.
What a shame... Dongfang Yuan's current opponent didn't seem very strong.
Dongfang Yuan took the initiative to attack. In the first clash, her purple longsword sliced the opponent's weapon clean in two. She then pressed her advantage, strike after strike, forcing the opponent back relentlessly until they reached the edge of the arena with nowhere left to retreat.
A clean, decisive thrust pierced his chest. She twisted and withdrew the blade—not a single superfluous movement, unlike the earlier player from Zone 03 who had maliciously attacked a corpse long after the person was dead.
She simply watched calmly as he died, her face completely unreadable. Only after fully collecting the opponent's supplies did Dongfang Yuan's expression suddenly crack.
Oh my god! Did I just kill the top-ranked player? Why does he have so many supplies? Even though she was no longer on the poverty line, Dongfang Yuan was still so shocked her eyes seemed to grow three sizes right then and there...
[Congratulations to player 'Watch Me Slice You' from Hua Country's Major Zone 88, Sub-Zone 666 for achieving victory.]
[Awesome! Freaking awesome! Sister Slice You is the best! You are...@#... Zone 03 are all a bunch of @#$_&...]
Ball 666's praise was cut off by censorship again after just the beginning, but Dongfang Yuan fully felt the ball's sincerity.
She immediately spoke up, "Our ball is awesome too! Way better than the trash who's about to speak next."
The ball preparing to announce the next match's participants was utterly speechless. The people under Invincible Black Whirlwind's command were really as disgusting as he was... Well, at least three of them just died, so it wasn't a complete loss...
Seeing Invincible Black Whirlwind's heartbroken wailing was somewhat satisfying. It's just a pity that the player who just went on stage didn't die.
Every zone has its strong players. That girl was lucky just now—it was mainly because that fool from Zone 03 was too stupid, and that girl is good at psychological warfare.
That's why he unfortunately lost. This match... well, there's no helping it. The raw strength disparity was just too clear.
But the score is still 3:2. There's a great hope of winning. The ball calculated internally. After a long while, feeling that everyone had forgotten what Dongfang Yuan said, it continued the broadcast...
But the moment it opened its 'mouth', everyone from Zone 666 burst into uproarious laughter. Even Zone 03 couldn't help but snicker a couple of times. The ball instantly flew into a rage and roared.
It must have whispered something to Zone 03, because the entire group's expressions changed, becoming panicked to the point of trembling.
The next to take the stage was Song Peifeng. His victory was slightly more difficult, but only "slightly" and "a bit more".
From the moment the two engaged, the outcome was already decided.
[Triple Kill! Little Song is awe@#_$#]
This time, the ball was censored even faster, but Song Peifeng visibly relaxed. Not being praised was fine too; otherwise, he always felt strangely embarrassed.
Then his heart also started pounding wildly—he had obtained so many supplies, especially upgrade cards... He had never seen so many upgrade cards in his life!
Next was War Wolf 004. His opponent was an ability user, but without any extra skills, just a significant enhancement in strength.
War Wolf 004 immediately adopted his Eighth Sister's tactics: first kite and lead you around, wait until your stamina and endurance are almost depleted, then I'll fight you.
This way, even if you have a strength advantage, it won't overpower me by too much.
This fighting style just looks a bit more cautious, not appearing overwhelmingly powerful, but winning is all that matters.
Dragging it out for nearly three hours back and forth, War Wolf 004 finally found the opportunity he was waiting for and launched a fierce counterattack, cleanly taking the opponent's life.
The sudden turn of events left everyone in Zone 03 stunned. Good grief, they thought he was a coward who couldn't fight, but they got played again...
Everyone in Zone 666 really has a sneaky veteran soul attached to them; not a single normal person!
[QUADRA KILL!] The ball shouted passionately, delivering the full emotional support, though it was censored a bit too quickly, preventing its prepared praise speech from getting out.
But it didn't matter. It would save it. Once back in their home zone, it must praise everyone individually for thousands of words. They were really bringing glory! Deliberate targeting and scheming are utterly useless!
Next was War Wolf 008. He didn't encounter an ability user. Qi Xu breathed a sigh of relief. The remaining ability user, whether encountered by himself or War Wolf 009, would be a more secure match-up.
War Wolf 008 still needed time. Having been hunted for so long, his development was still restricted.
The opponent's strength was average, and War Wolf 008 also played it safe. Like War Wolf 004, he prioritized ensuring his own safety before engaging in combat.
If Dongfang Yuan and Little Song were the aggressive faction, then 004 and 008 were the textbook conservative faction.
[PENTA KILL! Haha!]
The ball was muted every single time, yet each time it became overexcited and howled with passion, never tiring of it.
