Chapter 34

Gu Ding's nerves were taut as he waited patiently for his opponent to attack.

His opponent this time was indeed a troublesome guy. The arena was no more than four or five hundred square meters and had no cover. However, his opponent had disappeared without a trace, without any warning, and without leaving any suspicious traces.

If he had Neptune's help, he could easily find his opponent's location. However, he felt that the battle in the arena was his own battle, and it would not be fair to ask for help.

At this moment, he had no idea where his opponent was standing in the arena. The only thing he could do was to wait. When his opponent attacked, it was time for him to counterattack.

However, professional assassins were patient. Before their opponent revealed an opening, they could lie low for a few hours and wait. However, in this arena, he could not wait that long.

If he didn't attack for a long time, the system would judge it as a draw. Invisible Gentleness knew that. If he did not attack first, his opponent would not be able to attack him. If this situation lasted for more than half an hour, the system would deem it a draw.

He waited patiently for about ten minutes but did not find an opportunity to attack. Although the young man in front of him was thin and weak, he was as hard as a fortress to deal with. He knew that if he acted rashly, his opponent would retaliate crazily. However, he also knew that his opponent's momentum was as steady as a mountain. Even if he waited for another twenty minutes, his opponent would not show any opening. With no other choice, he finally made his move!

The cold gleam of the dagger flashed in the air and pierced Gu Ding's throat in an instant. The extremely fast killing blow suddenly met with an obstacle.

Gu Ding's hand grabbed the blade of the dagger. Although the tip of the dagger had pierced Gu Ding's throat, it was less than half a centimeter deep before it was stopped by Gu Ding's palm. Gu Ding's palm was in a state of collapse, but he did not care at all.

"You lost!" Gu Ding grinned. His other hand, which had been accumulating power for a long time, punched his opponent's waist.

In the next moment, Invisible Gentleness's entire body shattered into pieces and reformed outside the arena.

Many of the onlookers did not clearly see what happened in the blink of an eye. They chose to slow down the scene just now so they could clearly see what had happened.

"What terrifying reflexes!" Many cultivators could not help but sigh. Most of them believed that in that situation just now, their throats would have been pierced by the dagger and they would have been killed on the spot.

"His fist force is terrifying!" Some of the martial arts practitioners exclaimed. Gu Ding's punch had left a hole in his opponent's body. If it was in the real world, although it would not be able to achieve such an effect, the attack power was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand.

"Your reflexes are quite good for a newbie." In the surveillance room, the short-haired woman nodded in satisfaction.

"Young Miss, do you still want to arrange more opponents for him?" asked a tall man in a black suit.

"There's no need for that. I already have a rough understanding of his body technique. His gene level isn't high now, and his current performance is almost the limit. There's no need to test him anymore. "The short-haired woman shook her head, turned around, and walked out the door." Let him compete normally. "

"Okay, Missy. Do you want to record his next match?"

"If there's something worth watching, then record it. As for the rest, there's no need." The short-haired woman stopped and nodded.

Without the arena's backstage arrangements, the challenges Gu Ding received with his current ranking of around 5000 finally became normal. Basically, they were all from people ranked lower than him.

There were two ranking rules in the arena. One was the points ranking, and the other was the substitution ranking.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people basically took the path of the points ranking. Due to the large difference in points, the system would not randomly arrange people to compete with each other.

The substitution ranking, on the other hand, was to take the initiative to challenge a player with a higher ranking. Once the opponent won, they would obtain the opponent's ranking, and the opponent's ranking would drop by one. However, almost every time a player with a higher ranking went into the ring, they would find a suitable opponent in advance and leave after the match, not giving others a chance to challenge them.

For example, Gu Ding's previous matches were said to be random by the system, but in fact, someone backstage deliberately arranged for him to fight against high-level players. This situation was very rare, but it also allowed Gu Ding's ranking to rise to around 5000 through the substitution method.

On the other hand, Gu Ding kept standing in the ring to accept challenges, which gave other lower-ranked players a chance to challenge him. Seeing that Gu Ding's points were not high, many players who did not see Gu Ding compete thought that Gu Ding was a pushover who was only ranked high because of good luck, so they all pressed the challenge button.

In less than two minutes, Gu Ding received more than thirty challenges, and the number was still increasing.

"Is this a system malfunction?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows.

"Your ranking is too high, and your points are low, so many people think that you climbed up because of good luck, and want to step on you. Moreover, you chose to accept challenges openly. Naturally, many people want to try their luck to see if they can kill you and replace your ranking. "Neptune's explanation made Gu Ding understand what was going on. "For you, this is a good opportunity to accumulate points. Once a challenge is issued, it can't be withdrawn unless the challenged party rejects the challenge. In other words, even if you show terrifying strength, those who have already pressed the challenge button can't withdraw the challenge. They can only give you points. "

In the time it took to talk, the number of challenges had skyrocketed to more than fifty. Gu Ding grinned. "Not bad."

"Let me help you filter your opponents. The highest ranked guy who has challenged you so far is around 6100. I don't think these people are a challenge for you." Neptune was a little bored.

"Then it's him. It's not good to have too many challengers, it's a waste of my cultivation time." Gu Ding was happy that someone took the initiative to give him points. After all, one point was equivalent to a hundred Star Credits. If he won sixty battles in a row, his winning streak would accumulate to 1830 points, which was also a considerable amount of wealth. However, if he kept wasting time on these people, his Ultimate Arts progress would be limited. Only by encountering a true powerhouse would he be able to quickly improve himself in battle.

"You want to use this guy to establish your dominance, right?" Neptune guessed what Gu Ding was thinking.

"If I don't do that, there will be endless challengers later." Gu Ding smirked. "It's him!"

A moment later, a fat man appeared in the ring. He looked young, in his early twenties, and was not tall. When he saw Gu Ding, he smiled. "Oh, it's a kid."

Gu Ding felt a little helpless about the other party's reaction. Even though he had grown taller and his body had become stronger after cultivating Ultimate Arts, he still looked a little small among his peers.

"Kid, it looks like your luck is about to run out. I'll try to go easy on you," the fat man said as he pounced on Gu Ding. He wanted to end the fight quickly.

Gu Ding smiled bitterly and stood where he was. When the other party closed in on him, Gu Ding immediately used the first form of Steel Fist Level 5 and punched hard on the other party's fat belly …
