Chapter 1227 The Barbarian King
Wang Wei sat comfortably in a chair with a list in his hands, which contained the resources he could exchange in this Battle Pagoda. As someone with 5000 victories, he's entitled to 5000 Battle Points and an additional 5000 points for a perfect winning streak.
'Most of the resources are not rare. However, the fact he could get his hands on them in this place, and possibly on a large scale, is proof of the Barbarian King's ability,' Wang Wei commented.
'However, a few things are eye-raising.' He saw Heaven Wills on the list as exchangeable resources. 'Could this place also give birth to Heaven Wills?' He immediately denied this. If this were true, the top lineages would do everything they could to conquer this place.
'Maybe he has deep connections, including with the pavilions,' Wang Wei summarized. His eyes shifted to what genuinely caught his attention on the list. "What is the effect of the Battle Temple?" He was curious since this was the priciest thing on the list, requiring Battle Points per hour to access.
"I'm sorry, sir, but only people on the fourth floor are privy to this information," replied a well-mannered woman with blue hair, a white robe, and a reassuring smile.
"That's fine. Anyway, let's get this over with."
"It's good to be confident," the receptionist replied with a businesslike smile. After reviewing footage of your battles, we've granted you the title [Domineering Fist]."
'Cliche, and a little bit cringe, but that's fine since it's not that important in the grand scheme of things,' Wang Wei thought.
'No reaction?' thought the receptionist. "Do you want to climb immediately or rest in the housing area?"
"I have some people with me, so let's rest first."
"As you wish."
After passing the ninth floor, the pagoda became lively. It's been a while since someone had reached the tenth floor, meaning the Barbarian King hadn't displayed his might in a while. So, this battle suddenly became grandiose. Everyone in the pagoda and outside gathered to experience this major event. People bet on who was going to win, and of course, the majority favored the Barbarian King. The official gambling hall of the pagoda focused on specific bets, for example, how long will Wang Wei last. Or whether he'll be able to injure the Barbarian King in the slightest.
Wang Wei floated in the air with his arms crossed, ignoring all the whispers outside. He was interested in an opponent like the Barbarian King, and luckily, he did not have to wait long. A space crack appeared in front of him to spew a towering, muscular man.
The Barbarian King was 3.5 meters, making him a small giant compared to Wang Wei's 1.95 meters. His braided hair made his face fierce but with a hint of suaveness. The Barbarian King wore a simple black robe but did not put on the top, leaving his upper torso bare, showing his intimidating physique. His muscles were so defined that it could be said his muscles had muscles.
Above him, a win-lose ratio of 2349 to 0 manifested. This ratio might appear small, but considering the high requirements for the ninth floor, it was actually impressive that so many people finally received the opportunity to face him.
"Hmm? A Barbarian with a Giant Race bloodline?" Wang Wei commented. "What a strange combination. This battle might be interesting." As soon as he laid eyes on this person, he knew he was a worthy adversary. The Barbarian King was a peak Indestructible Empyrean that achieved [Limit Indestructibility].
'His Body-Will Fusion is already in the Advanced Stage, one step from perfection,' Wang Wei thought, and his eyes immediately shone. 'This man is an unparalleled genius.'
"Interesting indeed," The Barbarian King spoke, his voice deep but also reassuring. "I thought this would just be a match to display my power after so long. But you might be a truly worthy opponent."
"I'm honored," Wang Wei said without any signs of respect whatsoever. He released his aura, and the Barbarian King grinned, showing his rows of white teeth before also doing the same. Their aura clash twisted the void, and the crowd watching went wild. The battle countdown ended, and Wang Wei rushed forward.
Boom!
His body flew backward, crashing through a few mountains. He had to use his superb control of force to reduce the attack's effect and stop himself from continuing. He looked at the right side of his body, and it was gone. It calmly regenerated as he sighed.
'As expected,' he sighed. The Barbarian King had reached the peak of 10 Heavens while he was still in the third. Additionally, this monster had the bloodline of the Giant Race while being a barbarian — meaning strength was his strong suit.
The Barbarian King laughed as he appeared before Wang Wei. "You have it! The madness of truly talented body refiners who wish to test the limit of their bodies against anything and anyone. It's been a while since I met another kin."
