Chapter 170: Only a little up
Rewind the time to two hours ago.
While Emperor Prindon was still anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Holy Fire Sect's envoy in his royal box, Lin Xiao also took Camilla and Sifner to a luxurious private room that had been temporarily converted into a private box due to Donald's hasty departure.
Camilla's appearance has been disguised by Lin Xiao with magic.
No one can recognize this well-behaved and lovely "girl" unless he gives him permission, and she is the terrifying witch who is famous in the Boon Empire.
Although Siffner and Camilla had been chatting all the time and looked very happy, Lin Xiao had a gloomy face.
For no other reason, Gollum's proud progress has almost stopped rising since the "beast show" the day before yesterday.
In the Colosseum, in addition to large-scale events such as "Colosseum Shows", there are regular "one-man duel" performances every day.
"Solo duel" is not as grand as the "Beast Show", but it is also a very attractive activity for the aristocracy who want to seek excitement.
In a single-player duel, betting is even more simple and crude.
Whoever wins and who loses, buy and leave.
After the draw in the arena, the nobility of the winning bet will split the prize pool proportionally.
Unlike Sifner, who is keen on betting, Lin Xiao doesn't like this kind of opportunistic behavior very much, especially after winning billions of gold coins before, and he is not interested in making many nobles crazy betting.
"Why doesn't it go up?"
Gollum, who won frequently in solo duels, said that he could barely increase his proud progress by a few hundred or even a few thousand points at the beginning, but later, the progress bar that was close to full did not move at all.
"Wow! In the middle of the night, I won the bet again! ”
Because of an agreement in advance, Lin Xiao could only divide thirty percent of the billions of gold coins won on the night of the beast fight show to the goddess Sifna.
In order to prevent the goddess from squandering the more than one billion gold coins that were astronomical to her, Lin Xiao used the "slave contract" to force Sifner to hand over most of the funds in his hands to Donald, who was about to move his family to the Demon Guide Country.
According to Donald, he will use the huge amount of money to set up a venture capital fund and build a professional team to run it.
All the gold coins earned by the fund are owned by Sifner, except for 10% as management funds.
Of course, the goddess can't figure out something as complicated as venture capital and capital operation.
All she can see is that her huge sum of more than one billion is less than 100 million.
This naturally made her boss unhappy.
The stupid goddess didn't know that Lin Xiao's seemingly random move had already made her a big step forward on the road to being the richest man in the world.
"Heh, this woman's luck is not bad."
Sifner's luck has been good indeed.
It can be seen from the effect of the lucky gem given to her by Camilla during the Magister's promotion ceremony that she is in the stage of life of "bitter end".
Sifner, who has been betting on the winner one after another, has almost doubled the gold in his hand.
"Hessen, go and bring me three sets of the most delicious and expensive dim sum you have here!"
Lin Xiao really couldn't get used to this goddess who was scared as soon as she had money.
However, he is more concerned about whether Gollum can accumulate a Pride progress bar in the next duel.
Currently, the Orc's Pride progress is 1952390/2000000.
As long as he accumulates less than 50,000 Pride points, his character trait can evolve into a "God-given trait".
Lin Xiao was already ready to observe the formation process of the god-given traits, and was waiting for Gollum to evolve.
As the saying goes, "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed".
Lin Xiao, whose patience was constantly draining, pinned all his hopes on the next duel of the half-orcs.
Participants in "solo duels" are not limited to the slaves of the arena.
If a strong man is willing, after signing a life and death contract, he can also go to war and win a huge prize after winning.
Slaves are usually not too high in combat, and the arena does this to increase the spectacle of the duel.
At first, Lin Xiao thought that Gollum's pride was not rising because his opponent was too weak.
But later, because Gollum's performance was too eye-catching, many strong men of the Boon Empire also participated in the duel with him.
An elite paladin at level 50, an elite demon warlock at level 55, and even two otherworldly heroes also challenged Gollum.
The strength of these people is strong, and it is not easy for Gollum to win.
Lin Xiao deliberately let him only use the equipment issued by the arena to participate in the duel, also to increase the difficulty of his battle, so that he could have more sense of honor after victory.
However, it backfired, and the progress of the pride of the orcs was so unstoppable, so that the omnipotent Demon God of the Destruction of the World had no choice.
"His next opponent is the 'King of Fighters' in the arena, which can be called the strongest existence in the arena, and he is also a half-orc, maybe he will be able to increase his progress after winning this duel......
According to legend, the "King of Fights" has been in the arena for twenty years.
He had participated in countless life-and-death battles, and both his combat experience and combat skills were far beyond those of the brave men of the other world who were mostly incompetent before crossing over.
Lin Xiao cast his gaze on the ring in the arena.
Sure enough, the aura of the half-orc samurai, known as the "Douwang", is very strong.
This gray-haired half-orc is completely different from Gollum the "stunned blue".
As soon as "Douwang" came on the field, it gave people a feeling of chills down their spines.
His eyes were very sharp, like the long knife in his hand, piercing people's hearts.
There are many strong people who have made a special trip from other countries to the Colosseum Arena to sign a contract of life and death, just to challenge this half-orc warrior whose level is only 60.
But none of them could win.
It is said that there was once a battlefield fighter who had reached level 90 and was hired by a good man with a lot of money to try to end the undefeated record of "Douwang".
However, the outcome of the battle between the two, who were 30 levels apart, was beyond everyone's expectations.
Battlefield Fighter is an advanced class of warriors who are very good at heads-up.
is such a duel specialized profession, but he was beaten by the "King of Fighting" and had no power to fight back, and finally could only kneel and beg for mercy.
It can be seen that the enemy in front of Gollum is strong.
"I've seen you fight, and you're very talented in combat."
"Douwang" looked at Gollum, who had no fear of himself, and raised the long knife in his hand quite gracefully.
"I'll let you make three moves, let's fight!"
"What? Do you want to make me three moves? Why? ”
Gollum said this, but the body had already begun to act.
He held a huge two-handed axe, and without saying a word, he launched a "reckless charge" against the "Douwang".
Reckless Charge is a skill that can quickly close the distance between the enemy and us, but it has a low hit rate.
"Dou Wang" saw that Gollum had used such a skill as soon as he came, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Samurai", like "Berserker", is also an advanced class for warriors.
Unlike berserkers, who tend to be more powerful, samurai focus more on the perfect combination of agility and strength.
For samurai who are good at "parrying counterattacks", it is really easy to avoid the "reckless charge" with a low hit rate.
Observing the trajectory of Gollum rushing towards him, the figure of "Douwang" was only slightly sideways, allowing himself to avoid the opponent's attack range.
"Haha! Hit! ”
Just when the "Douwang" thought that he would be able to dodge Gollum's attack, the berserker, who rushed forward like a cannonball, suddenly changed the trajectory of the charge.
"You, how did you do that?"
Reckless Charge would have only allowed the caster to charge straight forward.
This skill is very common, and can be learned through the system's skill tree as long as the warrior class reaches level 20.
It's such a very common skill, but it's played with different tricks by Gollum.
Seeing that his attack could not hit his opponent, he swung his great axe in the opposite direction.
The axe is heavy, and the reaction force generated by Gollum's full swing is also enormous.
It was this reaction that changed the direction in which he was headed.
Between the lightning and flint, Gollum twisted his body in the air and smashed the giant axe at the "Dou King" who thought he had escaped his attack.
I have to say that the reaction speed of "Douwang" is also extremely fast.
If it were someone else, I would not have had time to react to Gollum's sudden turn.
With a heavy golden roar, the "Dou King" used the long knife in his hand to block Gollum's attack.
"It's so heavy! How strong are you? ”
"Parrying" is a class stunt for the samurai class.
As long as it is launched at the right time, the samurai is immune to all physical attacks with the "parry" skill.
Of course, this kind of powerful professional stunt cannot cope with the attack of multiple people at the same time, and the requirements for the timing of the launch are also very demanding.
If the timing of the parry is not properly controlled, the samurai will fall into a temporary state of stiffness called "parry imbalance".
This is undoubtedly fatal in a duel.
The reason why "Douwang" is "Douwang" is precisely because of his extremely accurate control of parrying skills.
Immunity to all physical damage in heads-up is the fundamental reason why Fighting King is always invincible.
Seeing that his attack had no effect after hitting, Gollum's interest was even higher.
"Reckless madness!"
"Bloodthirsty rage!"
Berserker's two major enhancement perks are used at the same time, plus the pride attribute bonus of the fourth stage, only level 42 Gollum is already on par with the powerhouse that has surpassed the first level cap in terms of strength alone.
Another axe was pulled out.
In the face of the thunderous blow, "Douwang" had to use a parry stunt again.
This time, although he still blocked the berserker's attack with his parry, the arm of the "Fighting King" felt a burst of soreness.
Gollum's power is just too strong.
What's even more terrifying is that his attacks are like a raging storm, constantly smashing the "Dou King".
"You, can you change your position?"
The desperately parrying "King of Fights" was speechless.
Gollum's attack is unskillful.
It was to slam the axe at his head.
Gollum didn't even change his posture, and from a distance, it looked very much like he was chopping wood.
In this way, it was slammed for nearly two minutes.
Although "Douwang" has always been able to parry and fend off Gollum's attacks, the durability of the long knife in his hand is not sustainable.
"Bell!"
With the sound of the long knife shattering, the "Dou King" was finally defeated.
"You won."
"Boy, you have a bright future, and as a member of the Orcs, you should use the axe in your hand to gain more power for our race."
"Looks like it's time for me to get out of here, go back to my tribe......"
"Dou Wang" glanced approvingly at Gollum, who was full of smirk, threw away the broken knife in his hand, and left the scene in a cheer.
He's clearly a man with a story.
Of course, Lin Xiao didn't have the heart to understand his story.
At this moment, the eyes of the Demon God of the Destruction of the World were full of shock.
For no other reason, after defeating the "King of Fighting" who was undefeated in the arena, Gollum's proud progress actually only increased a little.
That's right, it's only up 1 point.
"This ......"
"Do you have to ask me to capture that main god named Augustine and let him hack him to death, so that this guy can evolve?"
Lin Xiao, who has always been calm, is not so calm at this time.
