Whether its height, appearance, or actions, the Fengxi before Li Yi was pretty similar to the Fengxi who killed the newbies in Newbie Village. However, whether the Fengxi in front was actually the Fengxi he knew was something that had yet to be determined, and even Li Yi himself was thrown into confusion by their similarities. Regardless, there was one thing that he could confirm, and that was the Explosive Thief in front of him was definitely Fengxi!

The name on top of the Thief was not hidden, and it clearly stated the word, ‘Fengxi’.

“I’m going to enter Stealth Mode now. Then, I’ll approach you from the left. Once I’ve used Scrape, Garrotte, and Tendon Tear… I’ll end you with my finishing skill.”

After he calmly stated his plan, Fengxi entered Stealth.

Pale Blue Elegance coldly snorted and took a few steps back. She was focusing on hearing Fengxi’s steps.

Though Stealth could erase one’s physical body, they would still make sounds when they moved.

Ssshh…Ssshhh…

“Ka-Boom!”

The moment Pale Blue Elegance heard a shuffling sound, she activated Giant Magic Rock’s Self-Destruct.

A mushroom cloud billowed, and the explosion covered an area of 30 square yards.

‘He’s not dead?’

No damage numbers appeared from within the explosion, causing Pale Blue Elegance to grunt in surprise. She hastily stepped back and summoned Scarab King.

“Chichi…Chichi…”

Scarab King flapped its wings and cautiously scanned its surroundings. Despite its poor vision, any prey that entered within 10 yards of it would not escape its perception, invisible or otherwise.

Once Scarab King was successfully summoned, Pale Blue Elegance was confident that with Scarab King’s protection, the enemy’s Stealth would become useless.

Psh!

A glint of a blade appeared from behind Pale Blue Elegance. It had indeed appeared from the left, and the skill employed was really Scrape…

Scrape!

Psh!

[−12634]

Just as Pale Blue Elegance was staggering forward from the pain, a hand gripped her from behind and a shortsword plunged into her. Garrotte!

Psh—

[−15321]

Pale Blue Elegance went limp. However, Fengxi’s assault was not over. The twin daggers made a cross and unleashed a 5 Star Ultimate Finishing Blow at her…

Crash!

Pale Blue Elegance collapsed onto the ground, and Fengxi’s figure came into view.

“Chichi…”

Scarab King who was just dumbly standing there emitted two shrill cries before being forcefully dispelled due to its owner’s death.

Though Fengxi was within ten yards of Scarab King, it did not rush ahead like it usually did. Instead, it stood like an idiot and did nothing as its owner was mercilessly slaughtered…

Fengxi massacred Pale Blue Elegance with a swift chain of skills, but even so, he did not say anything. Instead, he just gently shook his head, turned around with his back faced to her, and stared into the sky in a daze.

‘This b*stard’s an arrogant c*nt.’

Li Yi thought back to his conversation with Chen Yang, and he instantly agreed.

“How was that possible? Fine, dodging Magic Rock’s explosion could be due to your skill, but why didn’t my pet detect you when you approached me? My Scarab King has a perception sense of 99 points, so how did you…”

Pale Blue Elegance had lost, but she was unsatisfied because she could not figure out the reason for her loss.

Fengxi quietly answered, “I told you that you’ve already lost. That’s the reason you lost.”

‘He really is arrogant…’

“Tell me why…”

Woosh—

Before Pale Blue Elegance had even finished her sentence, Fengxi had already teleported away.

“Crap, now my ranking’s going to drop…” Pale Blue Elegance groaned listlessly as she lay on the floor.

Once again, Li Yi opened up the ranking board, clicked the Explosive Thief at fourth place, and selected Battle-view.

System Notification: [The player has turned off Battle-view Mode. If you wish to spectate, please contact the player.]

“Goddammit! How dare he prevent anyone from watching.” Li Yi was slightly annoyed.

“You still do not get it, huh? You have killed me now but it’s the end but a beginning. If I were to stand up now, the person who’s dead is you and this is not the end but the beginning. You’ll be killed by me the 191st time, the 192nd time, the 193rd time, the 194th time, the 195th time…”

Li Yi thought back to the words that the Fengxi from Newbie Village spoke to him.

‘My god, could the words from that punk be coming true?’

Li Yi could no longer hold back. He exited Battle-view, ran out to register himself, and participated in ‘Random Battle’.

Since he was already one of the seeds for the finals, he would not gain any points even if he participated now. As such, it did not matter whether he won or lost, and simply put, he was only there to duel.

Since his opponents were randomly selected, Li Yi filtered it by having the system pair him against players with over 20,000 points.

Once the setting was done, Li Yi clicked confirm. His plan was simple. Since there were only ten players with over 20,000 points currently, he had a high likelihood of encountering Fengxi by using Random Battle.

‘I have no idea whether his words were true or not, but if I don’t try, I’ll never find the answer!’

Woosh—

A white flash filled his vision, and Li Yi was transported into an arena. In front of him was an Archer, Fang Jie.

“Boss…” Fang Jie was stunned. Since he was actually older than Li Yi, he never referred to Li Yi as master, and as such, he only referred to him as boss.

“I was bored, so I came here to play. Let’s start the battle. Don’t worry, your points would not be affected even if you win or lose.”

“Oh okay…”

“Thud!”

Fang Jie fired an arrow at Li Yi, and Li Yi returned fire after dodging it by rolling away.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The two Archers exchanged shots at one another. Despite that, they did not summon their pets, as if they had a prior agreement. In Li Yi’s case, it was because he did not want to take advantage of Fang Jie; and in Fang Jie’s case, it was because Assassination Archers did not gain much from using pets.

After firing at one another for almost a minute, Li Yi collapsed onto the ground…

“Boss, w-w-what’s the meaning of this?” Fang Jie’s victory was odd.

“You’ve won, and I’ve lost. What’s there to speak of? Continue to accumulate points, don’t let anyone surpass you.”

Li YI released his corpse and teleported away.

“I’m able to defeat Boss?” Fang Jie stood rooted to the spot. He was finding it hard to believe.

In the battle against Fang Jie, Li Yi was not serious to begin with. He did not use his Orange Quality Bow, and while exchanging shots, Li Yi did not even activate any skills. It was only natural for him to lose.

Despite that, Li Yi did not go easy on Fang Jie. It was just that Fang Jie’s luck was too unbelievable, and three of his arrows had landed critical hits successively, taking Li Yi down immediately.

The white flash receded, and Li Yi encountered Pale Blue Elegance…

The moment Pale Blue Elegance spotted Li Yi, she teased, “Haha, Lil Master, why are you here?”

Irritated by the comments, Li Yi responded, “Who’re you calling little? We’re both the same age for God’s sake!”

“This is a respectful term, so why are you…”

“C’mon c’mon c’mon, hurry up, I have matters to attend to.”

Before Pale Blue Elegance had even finished, Li Yi struck pre-emptively.

“Thud!”

Clang!

[−12]

Pale Blue Elegance hid behind Giant Magic Rock and activated Soul Staff Technique.

Thud! Thud!

[−2]

[−3]

In contrast to the battle against Fang Jie, Li Yi fought with his true ability when fighting Pale Blue Elegance. He did not just use his Orange Quality Bow; he had also unleashed all his might in his initial strikes.

“Blazing Fields!”

ROAR~

A fiery phoenix emerged from the Orange Quality Bow and smashed into Giant Magic Rock…

Giant Magic Rock began to burn, and Pale Blue Elegance had caught the flames as well. She was covered with Inextinguishable Flames from head to toe, and she continuously lost HP.

“Overlord Arrow!”

With an unstoppable force, Overlord Arrow hurtled towards Pale Blue Elegance. It was extremely fast, and even Giant Magic Rock’s rapid rolling was unable to intercept it in time.

“Phantom Footprints!”

Pale Blue Elegance was able to enter Invincibility in time, nulling Overlord Arrow’s effect.

“Beep Beep Beep Beep…”

The Brainwashing Helm on Li Yi’s head started to flicker, and white ray shot out, striking Giant Magic Rock’s body.

Ding!

[Brainwash successful!]

“Self-Destruct!”

The moment Pale Blue Elegance’s ‘Invincibility’ ended, Li Yi commanded Giant Magic Rock to explode.

A mushroom cloud billowed, blowing Pale Blue Elegance into smithereens and ending her life with a single blow.

“Lil Master, you really don’t know how to hold back. I hate you…” Pale Blue Elegance angrily messaged Li Yi.

Li Yi checked the time, and noticed that he was five seconds slower than Fengxi’s timing…

The reason he hastily disposed of Pale Blue Elegance was to compare that arrogant Fengxi to himself.

Li Yi continued to battle randomly, but he did not encounter Fengxi. Instead, he met Defiantly Tyrannical.

“I’m not going to fight you!”

Defiantly Tyrannical angrily spat and forfeited. He teleported away shortly after.

Exasperated, Li Yi continued onwards, and with a white flash, he met up with Defiantly Tyrannical again.

“Don’t imitate Old Green! I’m not going to face you!”

Li Yi was starting to feel annoyed. He only wanted to compete against Fengxi, and facing anyone else did not interest him one bit.

After waiting a whole five minutes, he selected ‘Teleport’, but to his surprise, the enemy he faced was Defiantly Tyrannical yet again.

Angered, Defiantly Tyrannical bellowed, “What the heck do you intend to do? You already know that I’m not going to fight you, but why are you still clamping onto me?”

“You think I want this to happen? I’m using teleporting randomly, so how would I know why I keep meeting you?”

This time, Li Yi voluntarily forfeited before Defiantly Tyrannical had even gotten a chance to do so. He then teleported away.

Teleport. Forfeit. Teleport. Forfeit…

After being tormented for an hour and encountering nine out of ten of the possible players, Li Yi had yet to meet Fengxi. He was extremely frustrated now. His luck had really gone against him, the more he wanted something, the less likely it would come to him. On the other hand, the more he dreaded something, the more likely it would come to him…

That was what he thought until he checked the ranking boards. What he saw left him speechless. Out of the current top ten players, there was no longer the Explosive Thief class…

‘That Fengxi had dropped from the board…’

“F*ck this.”

Li Yi viciously cursed. He adjusted his settings, bringing his filter from players with more than 20,000 points to players with above 15,000 points.

‘Though my chances of encountering Fengxi were slimmer now, it should be better than previously… But, if I think about it, how did he drop out from the top ten that quickly?’

A white flash greeted his eyes, and Li Yi now encountered a cute, sexy Archer chick who was wearing a short leather skirt, exposed her tummy, wore a seductive bra which revealed her bosoms…

This sexy and cute Archer chick had an extremely adorable pink bear beside her leg. It was her pet, Mutated Lil Lazy Bear.

Li Yi recognized her. She played as a Pet Archer and her name was Defiant Xiaoxiao.

Those who knew her name were few and far between but if anyone were to mention her brother, nearly everyone in the Invincible Continent knew him. Her brother who was related by blood was none other than Tyrannical Dynasty’s Guild Master, Defiantly Tyrannical…
