So many people's luck is only enough for 10 draws? It doesn't seem reasonable, but that's the truth. They're not the main characters, and their luck is nowhere near that of Luffy and his crew. 10 draws have already exceeded Yi Shuihan's expectations.
Furthermore, the luck from the first mission, "King of Luck," hasn't arrived yet. If it does, the luck will likely be substantial. In that case, not only will the silver lottery be enough, but Yi Shuihan even speculates that a high-probability gold lottery would be achievable.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan was extremely impressed with his own decision. He had exchanged such a small amount of dragon blood for so much luck. This deal was really well done. If it weren't for the fact that the highest luck a person could trade was only 4%, he would have wanted to hold several more competitions like this.
"I really want to try my luck a few times." Looking at all this luck, Yi Shuihan's heart was itching again.
Forcibly suppressing the urge to participate in the lottery, Yi Shuihan still wanted to see if any surprises would occur if he had enough luck.
Chapter 204, Visitors from Outer Space
The competition continued the next day.
"It seems that the cultivation points were well spent! Without this arena, this competition would probably go on forever." Seeing two contestants of similar strength fighting for a long time under 10 times the gravity, Yi Shuihan was very satisfied with the arena he had built with 1000 cultivation points.
1000 cultivation points isn't a small amount; it's enough to buy a bronze skill. But exchanging 1000 points for this arena is definitely worth it, since if these participants were to actually fight, it would be impossible to avoid damaging dozens of islands.
Furthermore, in terms of time, it saves a lot of time. The arena can not only be used for the original competition, but also for cultivation due to its simulated environment function. You can freely choose a suitable cultivation environment, making it an excellent cultivation sanctuary.
Without further ado, the second day of battles was still incredibly exciting, and the top 11 were successfully determined.
On the third day, the third round took place, and this time the redhead was given a bye.
"Today is the third day of the tournament, and also the third round. Those who remain are undoubtedly the strongest. The matches will only get more intense from here on out. Let's welcome the first pair of contestants, Garp and Rayleigh."
After the first match was announced, there was a brief silence in the arena, followed by cheers. Clearly, they were extremely excited about the battle between Garp and Rayleigh.
One is Garp, who has pursued the Roger Pirates many times, is known as a Marine hero, and has always been a pillar of the Marines' spirit. The other is Rayleigh, the famous right-hand man of the Pirate King Roger. The two have clashed countless times before, and their confrontation here now feels like destiny.
"Garp should win, right? He was chasing Roger back then."
"Bullshit! Hades isn't called that for nothing. If they really fought, it's hard to say who would win!"
"I think either way is possible."
"..."
On the arena, Garp and Rayleigh stared at each other silently, completely ignoring the surrounding chatter.
"Do you want to admit defeat? I'm afraid we won't be able to stop once the fight starts!" Rayleigh suddenly said.
Garp was taken aback, then roared, "You're the one who should admit defeat! Who was it that used to run away whenever they saw me? What? You've gotten bolder now? Believe me or not, I can beat you into a dog with one hand."
"You're the old dog, how come you're still alive after all these years?"
"I won't die even if you die."
The two suddenly started yelling at each other like shrewish women on the street, showing no signs of being strong at all, which surprised the audience.
"Ahem, if you two don't start now, I'm going to declare you both forfeited!" Yi Shuihan couldn't stand it anymore, because the two of them had actually started insulting each other's families.
The two stopped shouting at each other, exchanged a glance, and then, without prior arrangement, chose the same arena: a ship on the high seas.
Neither of them are Devil Fruit users, but they have both reached extremely high levels in the realm of Haki. In addition, Garp's physical skills and Rayleigh's swordsmanship are comparable, so their battle is like two masters demonstrating their own way.
Garp's iron fists were like a raging storm, relentless and unstoppable, with movements that shifted effortlessly, as easily as eating and breathing; Rayleigh's swordsmanship was as magical as a textbook, effortlessly employing various techniques and completely forging his own path, leaving a lasting impression.
The aftershocks of their battle were not significant because they both controlled their power with extreme precision, preventing any leakage. Therefore, it did not appear to be a grand spectacle. However, in the eyes of true masters, such a battle represents the pinnacle of skill.
Both Garp and Rayleigh consumed dragon blood, so their strength was at its peak, or even at a higher level.
During the battle, Garp unleashed a special ability that can only be developed when one has mastered Haki to its fullest extent. His special ability is extremely violent, putting him in a state of intense passion. In this state, as long as his stamina is not exhausted, his strength will continue to increase, and his speed will also increase.
An opponent whose strength increases every moment is probably something most people would rather not encounter.
Rayleigh, of course, would not be defeated so easily. He also activated his special ability, weakening the enemy. Quite coincidentally, the effect was completely opposite to Garp's, continuously weakening the enemy's strength as the battle progressed.
However, Garp was ultimately superior. His rate of increase in strength was much slower than his rate of decrease, and with this disparity, he finally won.
"I can't even beat you, you old bastard! I'm so heartbroken." Rayleigh put on a heartbroken expression.
Garp curled his lip and said, "What are you pretending for? It's not like you've ever fought one before."
The battle continued, and the third round also came to a successful conclusion. The final six were finally determined: Garp, Whitebeard, Shanks, Kaido, Kent, and Canaan.
Sengoku was defeated by Whitebeard, and Big Mom was defeated by Kaido. In the battle between Kaido and Big Mom, Kaido's victory was not easy.
The six contestants, each possessing one of the four emperors' abilities, truly showcased the extraordinary nature of the four emperors.
Kent goes without saying; he wins inexplicably every time thanks to his special ability, but the one thing that can't be denied is that he's really strong.
Canaan was not famous before, but she has become famous now, not only because of her strong strength, but also because she is a woman, although she is only of average appearance and a bit older.
The fourth day of the competition arrived amidst everyone's anticipation. While everyone's attention was focused on the competition, a tremendous change was quietly taking place in other parts of the world.
Red Earth Continent
A group of people, completely covered from head to toe, disembarked from a spaceship made entirely of steel. You read that right, a spaceship, a spaceship.
"Welcome to our distinguished envoys." The orderly voices rang out, and anyone who saw this scene would be utterly terrified. The people of Zhejiang who were being so respectful were all Celestial Dragons. When did the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, become so obsequious to others?
Chapter 205, I am the wind, I am the electricity
The sound of "clicks" rang out continuously, and the face of the person who was wrapped up tightly was suddenly revealed. It was a face that was almost like a human's.
"Is the matter of dragon blood all true?" The person who spoke was the one standing at the very front of these people and the first to show his face. As he spoke, his back writhed and a bunch of jet-black wings stretched out. The wings were very long, only slightly shorter than his height.
If Yi Shuihan were to see these people, he might mistake them for the legendary fallen angels, given their striking resemblance to their appearance.
In reality, these people are lunar people living on the moon, who have been remotely controlling the World Government and are above the Five Elders.
Generally, they only appear when the World Government is about to be destroyed, but this time is different. The appearance of dragon blood brought them to the earth.
There were 50 people in their group this time, but each of them was incredibly strong. To put it another way, they were all level 9 Black Iron experts. These people could easily sweep across the world.
Upon hearing the question, a Celestial Dragon with a rather stern appearance stepped forward, bowed, and handed over a document.
"Yi Shuihan? He really is a lucky guy. But the Myriad Realms Temple, could this Myriad Realms be..." The voice that followed was barely audible.
"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling? It's like someone's watching me!" Yi Shuihan, who was watching the game with great interest, suddenly frowned.
Yi Shuihan took this sudden feeling seriously immediately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anything that could threaten him now. He had a system that allowed him to leave this world at any time, and even if all the world's strongest people were combined, they might not be able to kill him!
"I shouldn't be arrogant; it would be best to take a look." The cautious Yi Shuihan closed his eyes, and images of various places around the world began to appear in his mind.
The ability to observe and mark—this god-level skill—has long been spread to every corner of the world by Yi Shuihan as he has traveled the world over the years.
"Naval Headquarters, no abnormalities reported."
"No abnormalities reported in the East China Sea."
"No abnormalities in the South China Sea."
"No abnormalities reported in the Western Sea."
"No abnormalities reported in Beihai."
"Sky Island..."
After repeatedly filtering through the images, the scene finally settled on a hidden corner of the Red Earth Continent, where Yi Shuihan saw the fallen angels with black wings.
"Found it! What is this? A fallen angel? And a spaceship? Why are these guys dressed like spacesuits?"
Yi Shuihan's first thought was whether he had seen it wrong, but he was sure he could see the mark correctly, and he quickly confirmed that what he saw was definitely real.
But where did these fallen angels come from? Spaceships—did they come from outer space?
Even fallen angels, who are so high and mighty, need spacesuits? It gives me a weird, insipid feeling.
"Huh? That's... my data." Through the God's-eye view of observing the mark, Yi Shuihan clearly saw the data containing all his information, as well as the dragon blood information marked with emphasis. He immediately realized, "They're after me? Their goal is the dragon blood?"
Knowing the reason for his premonition, Yi Shuihan temporarily shifted his attention away from the screen, so he didn't hear the last person's words; otherwise, he would have paid even more attention to the matter.
Fifty Black Iron 9-stars were a force to be reckoned with, even for Yi Shuihan. Although he was confident that these people combined couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't stop them from getting bogged down and dealing with others, like Robin.
After thinking for a moment, Yi Shuihan decided to strike first; being passively attacked was not his style.
At this moment, the battle on the arena was fierce, and no one noticed Yi Shuihan's change. In just a moment, what remained in place was no longer Yi Shuihan himself, but a clone with only one-tenth of his strength. His true self had already gone to those fallen angels.
"As expected, they've come looking for me." From the observation markers, Yi Shuihan could clearly tell the movements of the fallen angels. He had only been away from Arena Island for a short time when he discovered that they were already heading towards Arena Island at an astonishing speed. They would probably arrive in just two hours.
Knowing the other party's intentions, Yi Shuihan remained calm. After flying for half an hour, he found a deserted island and quietly waited for these people to come to him.
Two hours later,
"Here it comes!" Yi Shuihan suddenly flew into the sky.
"Who are you?" Mifelin, the leader of the fallen angels, looked at Yi Shuihan who appeared in front of her in surprise, and for a moment she did not realize that this was the person she was looking for.
"Didn't you come looking for me? How come you don't recognize me now that I'm standing right in front of you?" Yi Shuihan was also a little puzzled.
Miflin was taken aback, and after looking at Yi Shuihan carefully for a moment, she exclaimed in surprise, "You are Yi Shuihan?"
"Yes, that's me."
"How did you hear about us?"
"Well..."
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to show off and say something about knowing five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future, Mi Feilin suddenly made her move.
"What is this?" Yi Shuihan felt as if he was being squeezed by space, and for a moment he couldn't move.
"Take him down." Miflin remained in a peculiar posture, as if she couldn't move, and gave the order.
Upon seeing this, Yi Shuihan understood that he must have been rendered immobile by Mi Feilin's ability, and that he couldn't move while using this ability, otherwise it would be ineffective.
"You think you can take me down so easily? You're being too naive." With just a burst of power, Yi Shuihan instantly broke free of his restraints.
With a punch and a kick, Yi Shuihan sent the fallen angel who was trying to grab him flying, and then rushed towards Mifelin.
A great battle ensued.
The battle between 1 against 50, a total of 51 Black Iron 9-star powerhouses, was truly earth-shattering. Because of their battle, the islands below were directly destroyed by the aftershocks, and giant waves rose on the sea, as if it were the end of the world.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong, but you alone are no match for us."
"Not always!"
A melodious song echoed in the void; it was Yi Shuihan using his personal background music.
"A peaceful summer day, with countless stars dotting the sky..."
"Uh, wrong one, it's this one."
"I am the wind, I am the electricity, I am the eternal myth..."
The song "Superstar" doubles Yi Shuihan's speed and attack power.
Chapter 206, The Will to Part
As the melodious song played, the first fallen angel fell, followed by the second, the third...
To Miflin's horrified gaze, she punched a fallen angel, creating a gaping hole in its stomach, sending the angel plummeting downwards.
The vast ocean churned up a small wave, and then fell silent.
"Impossible! How could you be so strong? You're clearly at the same cultivation level!"
Mifelin was clearly intimidated by Yi Shuihan's fighting prowess, but her words also caught Yi Shuihan's attention.
The phrase "the same realm" carries a lot of information, since there's no such thing as a realm in the world of One Piece. If the realm that Miflin is talking about is the same as what Yi Shuihan understands, then Miflin and the others must have some extraordinary backgrounds.
"What's impossible? Isn't it normal for a genius to fight opponents of higher levels?" Yi Shuihan finished off another fallen angel, bringing the total number of fallen angels killed by him to more than half.
"Even a genius, in this world where one can only unleash the power of Black Iron 9 at most, could not possibly deal with so many Black Iron 9s at the same time. Even if you are from the Temple of Myriad Realms, it is impossible!"
The Temple of Myriad Realms? What the hell? This time, it was Yi Shuihan's turn to be completely baffled. However, the fact that the other party actually mentioned the term "Black Iron 9-Star" made him certain that the power behind the other party was probably very strong. Knowing the realm division of the myriad realms meant that they undoubtedly knew about other worlds. Yi Shuihan even guessed that there might be even stronger beings behind them, such as those who surpassed Black Iron.
Moreover, could the Temple of Myriad Realms truly exist in all the myriad realms?
“How about we call it quits and make peace? We can drop the matter of the Dragon Blood and won’t bother you anymore,” Miflin suddenly said.
"Give up? I killed so many of you, and you're just going to let it go so easily?" Yi Shuihan didn't believe there was such a good thing, thinking that the other party was trying to lull him into a false sense of security so that he could go back and get reinforcements.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan had already decided to wipe out all these people first, quickly arrange things in this world, and then retreat. He didn't want to face the pursuit of beings of bronze level or even stronger.
Although this world can only unleash the power of a peak 9th-star Black Iron, there are always exceptions. When a person becomes so powerful that even this world cannot restrain them, the rules of this world become nothing but a joke.
"Why not? Haven't you realized yet that they are all soulless?" Miflin smiled slightly.
"what?"
Mifelin's words made Yi Shuihan suspicious. He carefully examined the other fallen angels and found something was wrong. The eyes of these fallen angels were exactly the same, without any emotional fluctuation. Except for their faces, they seemed to be carved from the same mold.
This reminded Yi Shuihan of the angel-making pool mentioned in the story, which could be used to mass-produce angels.
"If that's the case, I have no problem with it. How do you want to reconcile?" Since he wasn't the one who suffered a loss, Yi Shuihan didn't mind ending it like this. Of course, he was also determined to leave quickly and wouldn't believe everything the other party said.
