Fire
The blade of the giant ax suddenly caught fire, this was the effect of Grong, the Crusher's skill.
Flaming Slash (Active) (Level 5) - Enchants the weapon with fire property and dramatically increases its slash and destruction power. The higher the points in the intelligence attribute, the greater the firepower.
The fire on the ax blade was not very large or bright, this shows that Grong, the Crusher, does not have many points in the intelligence attribute. Despite this, the skill is quite powerful.
Liu Yang put one leg behind and the other in front, his fist was tightly closed. He will do the same thing as before.
"Impact" He spoke slowly.
The steel glove shone. The glow was slowly increasing, Liu Yang wanted to boost his skill to cause as much damage as possible.
"Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Grong, the Crusher, came close to Liu Yang and shouted.
Slash!!!!!
The ax went down towards Liu Yang's head to cut his body in half.
Because of the distance, the reduction effects were not activated.
Stomp !!!!
Crack !!!!! Booooooom !!!!!!
Before the flaming ax hit his body, Liu Yang stepped heavily on the ground and dodged the attack. He needs to get close to his opponent to attack.
The stone blocks on the floor were destroyed because of the impact of the ax.
Stomp !!!!
Liu Yang hit the ground hard again and his body shot like an arrow towards Grong, the Crusher. His fist is already tightened and glowing.
In less than a second, he appeared before his opponent. The title's effects were activated and Grong, the Crusher, lost ten percent of his attributes.
"Stone Skin!!!" Grong, the Crusher, screamed quickly. He understands that his opponent fights using his fists, so he needs to protect his body and prevent damage.
The skill was activated quickly.
A light covered his body and made his skin and flesh much harder. The body of Grong the Crusher, appeared to be made of steel after using the ability.
"Ahh !!!" Liu Yang did not care about his opponent and attacked with all his strength towards the belly.
Pang !!!!!!! Boooooom !!!!!!
The Impact skill caused a huge explosion, much bigger than the explosion in the previous round. Before, Liu Yang didn't have time to boost the skill, but this time, he did it.
"Argg !!!!!!!!" Grong, the Crusher, could only scream and be hurled backward at great speed before falling heavily to the ground. Its large and heavy body caused a great noise.
Shuoooo !!!!!!!!! Boooooooom !!!
But Liu Yang was not unhurt. In the arena, his face and chest were covered in blood. The explosion caused some injuries to him, but it was not heavy.
The power of the Impact skill at level 5 when boosted is very strong. If the user is always close to the target reached without any kind of protection, he may be injured.
Fortunately, Liu Yang had over one hundred points added to his vitality and is at level 200. This greatly increased his body's stamina.
When the Impact skill is leveled to 10, he doesn't even know how powerful it is if the skill was fully boosted.
After winning the fight, Liu Yang left the arena and went somewhere to rest. Two other participants went up afterward.
Grong, the Crusher, was dragged by two members of the judging team somewhere outside.
The second round of fights in the elimination stage was over in a few minutes.
That was long enough for Liu Yang to rest and heal his wounds.
"The second round is over. In five minutes, the third round will begin !! But before that, we are going to draw a lucky person who will not need to fight. As there are a total of 587 participants remaining, an odd number, one of you needs to stay out of the stage and automatically advance to the next round" Grum, the Impartial Judge, announced.
Everyone was expecting to be the lucky one. Not fighting for one round and advancing to the next round automatically was something everyone wants.
Tap…
Grum, the Impartial Judge snapped his finger and a number appeared in the projection.
2134
"Participant number 2134 is automatically in the next step. The others will continue to compete" He continued.
Everyone was envious and jealous of the number 2134. Because he managed to advance to the next stage without doing anything.
Only people in the same group with him know who number 2134 is.
Five minutes later…
"The third round of the elimination stage will begin. The chosen participants can go up in the arena "
The total number of participants remaining was 587, but as one has already advanced automatically, the number of participants who will fight is 586, that is, in total there will be 293 fights to see who will go to the next stage.
Many of the participants who lost the previous fights were killed, only a small number are still alive after the defeat.
The two hundred chosen participants went up to the arena.
Unlike the first two rounds, the third was more leveled and had more fighting time.
Because the weakest participants have already been eliminated and the only ones left are the 200 level ones with above-average equipment.
Many of them were slaves sent by the nobles to participate in the fighting competition with some decent equipment while a small part is rich and powerful nobles or people who want to earn some kind of wealth.
Fights were going on slowly, many died trying to win while others gave up to stay alive. Slaves did not have a chance to give up because they will be punished with death if they do so. So, they fought to the death.
The survivors were severely injured because of deadly and dangerous fights.
Liu Yang was called in the third fight. His opponent was a chained man of the human race mixed with a white elf named Hewies, it was not necessary to think much that he was a slave.
Unlike the previous two fights, his current opponent was someone with magical abilities. But none of them affect the mind, so the fight was quite smooth.
One punch was enough again, but Hewies' body exploded like a balloon. Blood and entrails flew everywhere when the Impact skill hit his fragile body.
As someone who uses magical abilities, Hewies emphasized his points in the attribute intelligence and agility, vitality was secondary. Thus, his body was not very strong to withstand the power of the explosion.
But the victory had a great cost to pay, Liu Yang had perforations in several parts of his body caused by the fire swords that Hewies invoked. He had a hard time hitting Hewies because of his agility, but the lack of points in the vitality attribute made him very tired after casting various spells and running through the arena.
The scene was not very shocking for the other competitors, as it was normal for this to happen in a fight between a person who focuses on attribute points in strength and vitality and a person who focuses on attribute points in intelligence and agility.
"The fourth fight stage will start in ten minutes"
