Chapter 478

In the virtual world, there were less than one hundred and fifty people who had more than 50 million points. Moreover, the 50 million point limit meant that many people could not challenge a second time after losing once.

In less than two hours, Gu Ding and Futu had challenged almost half of the people who had enough points.

There were less than twenty powerhouses who did not participate in the challenge. Half of them were truly powerful people who ranked in the top ten on the point leaderboard, and the other half saw Gu Ding and Futu killing their opponents in seconds and felt that there was no need to challenge them because they would be killed in seconds no matter what.

Seeing that no one was challenging them, Gu Ding and Futu had to lower the point limit to 30 million. Many people who had challenged Gu Ding found Futu. Even though their points had been halved, they still had more than 25 million points, and many of them had more than 30 million points. Naturally, they were not willing to let go of this opportunity. Similarly, many of the people who had challenged Futu had enough points to challenge Gu Ding.

More than two hours passed, and the challengers took turns to change opponents. They were abused again, but they did not feel annoyed. Instead, they were very happy. Some people even found Lilliath and the others to continue challenging them because Lilliath had set a challenge threshold of 10 million points.

Their behavior led to a strange phenomenon on the point leaderboard.

Gu Ding and Futu were far ahead. Gu Ding was far ahead with 2.8 billion points, and Futu, who was in second place, was close behind with 2 billion points. After Futu, there was a gap in points. Lilliath surpassed Dockett and became third on the point leaderboard, but she only had more than 900 million points, less than one billion. Dockett, Elsa, and Phaser were close behind. In tenth place was Shakya's senior, Naro, who also had more than 500 million points.

However, after tenth place, there was another gap in points. The eleventh place only had more than 60 million points, and this guy was originally ranked outside the top hundred. However, as many people in front of him challenged Gu Ding and Futu, the points fell directly to less than 30 million, and his 60 million points became a high point. In addition to him, there were eight people with more than 50 million points. Starting from nineteenth place, there was another gap, and the points became less than 30 million. The original 30 million points could only be ranked in the top two hundred.

Just as Gu Ding and Futu were about to lower the challenge limit, Phaser took a step forward. He finally exited his Challenge Field and walked in Gu Ding's direction.

Everyone, including Fu Tu, looked at Phaser.

Phaser had also set up a challenge battlefield, but the limit he set was the same as Liliath's, which was 10 million points. Many people challenged him as well. Now, he had accumulated more than 800 million points and was ranked seventh on the leaderboard.

"Let's carry out our agreement right here." Phaser walked up to Gu Ding and stopped less than ten meters away from him.

"Are you not going to wait for the real world challenge?" Gu Ding asked with a grin. Of course, he knew that the promise Phaser was referring to was the promise to join his pirate crew.

"Previously, I didn't expect to meet you again in the virtual world. Because I don't have time to go to the War God Arena, I invited you to fight in the real world. Since they had met this time, they might as well fight here. On the other hand, we can fight to our heart's content in the virtual world because we don't have to worry about accidentally killing our opponents. "Phaser's words were clearly filled with confidence.

"In other words, it's for real this time?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. He and Phaser had met in the virtual world before and had sparred once. Neither of them had used their full strength, and the battle had ended in a draw.

"That's right, it's for real." Phaser looked very serious.

Although the crowd around them did not know what happened, many of the top powerhouses who had lost to Gu Ding also wanted to know how strong Phaser was. A few people also knew that Phaser had lost to Gu Ding in the War God Arena, and at that time, the difference in strength between the two was not big. However, they knew nothing about the agreement between Phaser and Gu Ding.

Other than Phaser and the people in Gu Ding's crew, Gu Ding only revealed it to Karlot.

Seeing that Phaser had challenged Gu Ding, Karlot walked out and shrugged helplessly at Phaser. "I didn't expect you to beat me to it. In that case, I'll challenge Fu Tu."

Having said that, he walked toward Fu Tu.

Karlot had more points than Phaser, more than 900 million points, second only to Liliath and Dockett, and ranked fifth on the leaderboard.

This battle was also one that many people were looking forward to.

Phaser only glanced at Karlot before looking away. He held the hilt of his sword with one hand and slowly unsheathed his black longsword. Before he even made his move, the longsword was already humming in the air.

Phaser's pale blue eyes also turned crimson, and soon his eyes were dyed blood red. His hair also began to quickly turn white from the roots like frost spreading. The hair tie also broke automatically, and his waist-length white hair moved without any wind. His green robe also strangely faded to plain white.

Seeing this change, many of the onlookers could not close their mouths for a long time. For most of them, it was the first time they had seen such a change in Phaser. However, seeing this scene, even a fool knew that Phaser was not going to hold back.

Gu Ding and the others had naturally seen Phaser in this state because Phaser had used this move in the War God Arena.

Gu Ding was also a little surprised. He had thought that Phaser would first attack to test his strength, but he did not expect Phaser to complete his transformation right away. It was obvious that he did not intend to waste time testing his strength. Previously in the War God Arena, Phaser had used this move at the last moment.

The corner of Phaser's mouth raised slightly, but he did not attack immediately. Instead, he said, "After losing to you last time, not only did I obtain a more powerful Sword Soul, but my swordsmanship has also stepped into the Lesser Mastery of Telepathy. My strength is not the same as it was half a year ago."

"It just so happens that I'm not the same person who just stepped into the Cosmic Sea half a year ago." Gu Ding did not hold back at all. Shura Armageddon was fully activated, and a powerful aura emerged from his body.

The terrifying aura that emanated from Gu Ding's body shocked many of the onlookers because Gu Ding's aura gave off a terrifying murderous aura. It felt like a cold-blooded Grim Reaper had descended on earth.

Even Fu Tu, who was facing Karlot's challenge, looked in Gu Ding's direction with a slight frown. It seemed that he did not like Gu Ding's aura.

Opposite Gu Ding, Phaser slowly raised the sword in her right hand and pointed the tip at Gu Ding.

Gu Ding suddenly felt as if something had locked onto him. The next moment, he saw the tip of Phaser's sword tremble slightly, and a black ripple with a terrifying power spread out in all directions.

He immediately retreated, and the black ripple silently cut through the volcanoes, boulders, and icebergs in the area. Almost in an instant, everything was cut in half as if it had been cut by a sharp knife. Even the terrifying thunderbolts and strong winds that connected the heavens and the earth were forcefully severed by this ripple before dissipating in the void.

The terrifying might of this attack caused all the spectators to be shocked to the extreme. It must be known that the astral winds and lightning were nightmares that many people present could not avoid. Now that they were cut in half so easily, many people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Phaser's strength has increased to such an extent after transforming!"

"That attack is way too terrifying. It's practically capable of cutting through anything."

"Looks like the guys in the top ten of the Demigod Monster Leaderboard are all monsters."

As he retreated, Gu Ding clenched his fingers into a fist and punched through the air. A fist force exploded like a cannon that could destroy the world, and a pillar of black light surged out like a tide, instantly colliding with the ripple.

Then, the ripple shattered, and the black light automatically dissolved.

Just as everyone was wondering who had the upper hand in this attack, Phaser suddenly moved. His body was like a phantom, and he thrust out his black longsword. The longsword left a thin crack in the void, which meant that space was being torn apart.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, leaped up again as soon as his feet touched the ground, but this time, he did not retreat. Instead, he charged toward Phaser. His right fist was surrounded by a black mist, and it rippled with a terrifying aura.

After a while, only a "boom" sound could be heard as the two's attacks collided in a frenzy.

Gu Ding's fist directly hit the tip of Phaser's sword. Two different types of black energy surged out wildly, constantly annihilating each other. A strange balance was formed between the two of them, forming a black energy sphere.

As for the two figures, they were only able to hold on for a moment before they quickly retreated. The energy sphere lost its energy source and support and instantly exploded. The terrifying energy shockwave rippled out, turning the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers into ruins.

Many of the powerhouses watching were a little embarrassed.

No one had expected Phaser to be so strong that he was able to fight Gu Ding head-on without being at a disadvantage.

However, this was within Gu Ding's expectations. Phaser and Lilliath were powerhouses of the same level, and Gu Ding would occasionally spar with Lilliath and the others, so he was very familiar with the strength of powerhouses of their level. He also knew that even if it was him, it would be difficult to suppress his opponent if he did not bring out some trump cards.

After this exchange, Phaser was sure that Gu Ding's progress was much greater than he had imagined. This was because in the past six months, his progress had reached a level that surprised him. On the other hand, Gu Ding did not fall behind at all. He even vaguely felt that Gu Ding seemed to be holding back and had not used his full strength.

"Let me see just how strong you really are!" Phaser flicked her wrist, and the black longsword shot out with even greater speed and sharpness.

On the other side, the battle between Karlot and Futu had begun …
