Chapter 913: Increased Cruelty (Request Monthly Tickets)

"Geniuses of all races!"

As the final match of the third round ended, the green-robed Tree Elder floating in the sky spoke again:

"The third round of the Ten Thousand Races Arena has concluded. Congratulations to the 355 contestants who have advanced."

"You have successfully qualified for the fourth round."

"Each contestant will receive a reward of one Abyss Point."

"The rules for the fourth round have undergone a slight change."

"If you kill your opponent in battle, you will earn an additional Abyss Point."

At these words, everyone's expressions shifted slightly, though most had already known this rule.

Yet when the Tree Elder stated it aloud, they could not help but react.

A genius from one race spoke up:

"This is encouraging everyone to kill their opponents—cruelty has escalated another level."

The Demon Overseer of the Prison Race grinned savagely:

"This rule is perfect—too bad it only appeared in the fourth round."

"Otherwise, I would have already gained several more Abyss Points."

"This rule should have been introduced long ago."

The geniuses of the peak races all wore expressions of excitement.

Lin Qi felt the same—gaining an extra Abyss Point meant far greater rewards.

Now he could kill other races' geniuses, weaken their races' strength, and earn an additional Abyss Point.

It was tailor-made for him.

He hoped that in every subsequent round, he would be matched against geniuses from the five peak races.

After all, the number of geniuses among the five peak races remained very large.

Moreover, Lin Qi sensed that the Tree Elder's matching system was not entirely random.

It could even be described as deliberate.

It deliberately paired humans with geniuses from the five races, forcing them to slaughter each other.

Ensuring only one side survived each match, reducing the number of geniuses across all races.

Or perhaps the Abyss Realm's true mastermind was tacitly approved by the supreme beings of all races.

But this suited his own intentions.

He intended to eliminate more of the five races' geniuses.

He currently had only six Abyss Points—far too few. He wanted more.

The Tree Elder in the sky continued:

"With 335 geniuses remaining, not all can be matched."

"One genius will be randomly selected to receive a bye."

"But no Abyss Point reward will be granted."

"Let us see who this lucky one is?"

As he spoke, he condensed a pink lotus in his hand, which slowly unfurled, revealing a name.

【God Race · Xuan Ge】

He then announced:

"Congratulations to Xuan Ge of the God Race for receiving a bye into the next round."

"I declare the fourth round of the Ten Thousand Races Arena officially begun!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ge of the God Race's expression darkened.

He immediately complained: "What shitty luck. I just lost two Abyss Points—I'd rather not have this bye."

"It's the modern age—this rule should be revised."

But his complaints were useless; the other geniuses were already engulfed by green whirlpools.

They were teleported away once more.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi and the others of the Human Race exhaled in relief.

Among all the races, Xuan Ge of the God Race was by far the strongest.

If he had been matched against a human genius, another human would almost certainly have perished.

Now that Xuan Ge had received a bye, even if he faced other geniuses, the risk of death would be reduced.

Lin Qi had already prepared to kill another genius.

The scene remained the same: a palace hall, over a hundred kilometers wide, several kilometers high.

"Shiiii! Shiiii!"

Lin Qi's figure instantly materialized.

His gaze locked onto his opponent.

Opposite him appeared a woman with six silver eyes, clad in pink-and-white battle armor, standing atop a crimson flying shuttle.

Around her body hovered six crimson war swords, each two meters long.

The Tree Elder on the ceiling projected a large screen.

【Ten Thousand Races Arena: Lin Qi (Human Race) vs. Mofei (Huisuo Race)】

【Multiracial Arena: Lin Qi (Human) vs. Mufei (Huisuo Clan)】

Mofei, with her six silver pupils, narrowed her eyes upon seeing Lin Qi.

"Why was I matched against Lin Qi of the Human Race? Terrible luck."

She silently cursed, and fear began to spread within her.

She knew her race, along with the other four, had targeted the Human Race.

The two sides were now locked in mortal enmity—with no room for reconciliation.

Her expression grew grim. Surrendering outright was impossible.

She was, after all, among the top five geniuses of the Huisuo Race.

She had to fight—she had her pride.

Lin Qi's expression was icy: "When you were matched against me, your life entered its final countdown."

Lin Qi said coldly, "By the time you're matched against me, your life is already in countdown."

"Savor your last moments—you are certain to die."

Mofei sneered: "You're overconfident."

"Your previous opponents were too weak—that's why you have this illusion."

As the two exchanged words, the Tree Elder on the ceiling announced:

"Battle begins!"

"Shiiii! Shiiii! Shiiii!"

Mofei struck first. A crimson domain erupted from her body, rapidly expanding outward.

The surrounding temperature surged dramatically.

Simultaneously, the six flying swords split into thousands of blades, wrapped in searing flames, piercing through space.

Like countless sparks hurtling toward him.

One sword split into hundreds of blades, circling her body.

To prevent Lin Qi's teleportation—if he suddenly appeared beside her, the blades would instantly attack.

Watching the incoming blades, Lin Qi's body shimmered with purple-gold patterns.

His dominant domain erupted instantly, suppressing all incoming blades, slowing them drastically.

The trajectory of every crimson blade became clear in his vision.

In response, he swung his Golden Thunder Spear in a circle before him.

Facing the attack, he swung the Golden Thunder Spear in a circle before him.

In an instant, tens of thousands of purple-gold spiral spear Gang formed.

"Shiiii! Shiiii! Shiiii!"

Under Lin Qi's control, they all shot forth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two sides clashed like missiles colliding—spear Gang against flying blades.

Under Lin Qi's command, each spear Gang condensed sharp, dominant power and the spatial law of tearing space.

Under Lin Qi's control, each spear aura condensed sharp, domineering power and the spatial law's ability to tear through space.

The collision was violent.

Against the spear Gang, the crimson blades were instantly blasted backward—their mental force, laws, and domains utterly unable to resist.

They were hurled back a great distance.

Lin Qi smiled.

In raw force, his spear Gang was still stronger.

Even though Mofei's mental blades were physical, it made no difference.

Mofei's face grew grim. In this first exchange, the gap between them was already clear.

Murphy's expression turned grave; even in this first exchange, the gap between them was plain to see.

"Sssshhh!!!"

In an instant, over a thousand flying swords converged, forming a two-meter-long great sword, its surface etched with crimson-silver law runes.

It carried even greater law force.

Simultaneously, it tore through space.

The flying swords shot toward Lin Qi at high speed, unleashing deafening sonic booms and stirring up Cengceng ripples.

Seeing this, Lin Qi smiled.

He swung the Jin Ting Great Spear, instantly splitting into a thousand illusions.

"Ssssh!"

His true body vanished from the spot—Mo Fei failed to notice.

Faced with the sky-full of illusions, Mo Fei hesitated for an instant, then commanded the flying swords to pierce indiscriminately.

At the same time, she suddenly sensed someone appearing behind her.

In her perception, Lin Qi's figure had already materialized behind her.

"Lin Qi used teleportation."

A smile touched her lips—she was nothing like Isabella; she had already prepared for this.
