Chapter 904: God Wars Qualification Board

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The maximum duration of the Open Colosseum was only an hour. As such, those who could not kill the monsters fast enough would not encounter the final boss.

The moment the skeletal dragon appeared; Dolly resurrected with a golden glow emanating from her. It was at this point that Li Yi’s combat prowess had peaked.

The bloodthirsty skeletal dragon was no match for Li Yi, and the swarm of bats that blanketed the sky had also been cleared along with the giant ants down below!

The only reason Li Yi had gone through all the trouble of obtaining the God’s Glow buff was to slay the final boss. After all, had his objective been to clear the stage, why would he need to trouble himself?

Once the skeletal dragon died, a few legendary creatures took the stage, such as the Iron-armored Rhino, the Lava Violent Bear, and various other Level 200 bosses. They were not giving Li Yi any breathing room.

Despite that, the pressure that Li Yi had felt was much lower than before.

The legendary pet, Dolly, had already been enhanced several times now, and as such, her normal attacks could now deal close to a hundred million damage, which was way more than Li Yi’s. All it took was few shots to finish off any monster that appeared before her.

While Dolly was clearing the monsters, she would also spin around every now and then in an attempt to copy Li Yi’s Shoot at Random. Despite that, the only fruits of her labor were the little stars that appeared on top of her head.

On the other hand, Li Yi had also gotten some much-needed rest while Dolly was clearing the monsters. He had retracted his Territory Barrier and had sat on the ground to recover faster.

Whenever one’s character maintained a sitting posture while having no monsters in their vicinity, their recovery speed would be doubled. Since Li Yi had expended over half of his Territory Power in the earlier battles, he decided to use the breathing room provided by Dolly to recover.

Li Yi did not even need to move a finger as Dolly had mopped up the monsters with blazing speed. She would more often than not, finish off the monsters just as they had spawned.

After resting for a dozen or so minutes, the monsters had grown even stronger. There were no longer any monsterlings that spawned, without exception, they were all boss-level monsters. Each of them had purple names, and aside from those who could use Divine Power, each of them could be considered as the strongest boss in the current version of the game.

Li Yi re-entered combat and cleaned up the remaining monsters alongside Dolly. However, that all changed when a white orb of light crashed down from the sky. When that happened, Li Yi slowly tugged back his bow and unleashed a Chrono Stinger Arrow.

Two heavy blows were dealt onto the white orb of light as Li Yi’s Water Clone had also unleashed a Chrono Stinger Arrow of its own. Following the two hits from Li Yi and his clone, Dolly unleashed a Chain Arrow Skill and Overkill Arrow of her own.

Countless damage counters erupted from the white orb of light, and the combined attack of both master and pet instantly killed the orb.

The white orb of light was actually the final boss of the Open Colosseum, but the orb form was not its actual body. Its actual body was an Orc-ish figure that was composed of light particles, but without even waiting for it to complete its transformation, Li Yi had already finished it off.

“Tap! Tap! Tap!”

“Tap! Tap! Tap!”

[41 Minutes 57 Seconds, Stage Cleared!]

Li Yi was then forcefully transported out of the colosseum, and a new stage clear record had appeared!

[Congratulations! You have cleared the Open Colosseum and have obtained 119 points as your reward!]

[You are currently ranked at first place in Point Rankings!]

[Congratulations! You have entered the God Wars Qualification Board!]

[You have obtained 76555441 EXP points as your reward!]

[Your pet, Dolly, has leveled up!]

[Your pet, Dolly, has leveled up!]

A chain of reward notifications rang out, filling Li Yi with great delight as his trip to Sky Island was not for naught. Besides that. there was also the achievement of defeating the Open Colosseum’s final boss in his first try to take pride in.

Back in his past life, the fastest clear time for the Open Colosseum was 28 minutes and 21 seconds, and the record had belonged to Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. However, back then, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was armed with quite a few new pieces of equipment along with a complete set of god-tiered buffs.

In regard to the calculation of the points, players who managed to defeat the final boss would be awarded 100 points. Additionally, players would also obtain 1 point for every minute that remained after they had cleared the stage. Due to this, Li Yi, who had cleared the stage with 19 minutes to spare, had also been rewarded with an additional 19 points.

In the case where players were unable to defeat the final boss, their score would be decided by the number of monsters that they had killed. The minimum points awarded would be 1 point, and the maximum would not exceed 50. Jiaojiao’s Open Colosseum clear was one such case, and she had only obtained 21 points, which was vastly different from Li Yi’s 119 points.

The moment players had obtained 100 points, they would immediately be listed in the God Wars Qualification Board. To the average player who was unable to defeat the Open Colosseum’s final boss, they would require a few more days’ worth of effort in order to be listed in the God Wars Qualification Board.

Li Yi’s name had been listed in the God Wars Qualification Board as he had obtained 100 points, which was different from the names that were listed due to the bug. As such, anyone who checked the God Wars Qualification Board now would see Li Yi’s name listed there.

“F*ck, it’s the god damned b*stard again!”

“F*ck me! Is there still any reason for us to attempt this challenge?”

“That son of a b*tch! Don’t tell me he’s going to be the first to reach godhood!”

“I have nothing else to comment!”

“I only managed to last 3 minutes before dying, so, how on earth did he do it?”

A mob of angry players was once again swearing at Li Yi in the World Channel.

Though the number of angry players was by no means low, it was to be expected as many players envied Li Yi’s position.

Despite that, Li Yi only chuckled at the players cursing him in the World Channel. He was already way past the senseless scolding of others, as he knew that he would get nothing done if he had actually taken the time to respond to their jeers.

When Li Yi opened up the God Wars Qualification Board, he saw his name firmly rooted in the first place, and below him, the nine other rankings were all empty.

No one else but Li Yi had managed to get into the list.

The God Wars Qualification Board was different from the God Wars Rankings and since the God Wars had yet to begin, the only list that existed now was the Qualification Board.

“Woosh!”

While Li Yi was eyeing the Qualification Board, another name had appeared within it.

[Code Name: The Mountain, has managed to clear the Open Colosseum with a timing of 58 minutes and 51 seconds.]

‘Code Name: The Mountain?’

Li Yi was dumbfounded.

Just like the World Level Rankings, players could choose to remain anonymous in the God Wars Qualification Board, and back in Li Yi’s past life, The Mountain had opted to stay anonymous. As such, not many had known his true name.

In contrast to his past life, however, he had chosen to reveal himself in this life. The Mountain was truly called The Mountain, with the only difference being the ‘Code Name:’ prefix.

“Wow, that’s fast, he has an Ancient Equipment Set plus an Orange Quality Quarterstaff. He probably has a god-tiered buff from a scroll as well. Not bad.”

Li Yi expressed his astonishment.

Had Li Yi not obtained a god-tiered buff, he would probably only be a few minutes faster than The Mountain.

It was to be expected though, as the players’ levels were currently capped at Level 200. Furthermore, as strong as the Hall of Fame Set was, there was plenty other equipment that performed similarly, like the Ancient Equipment Set that The Mountain was using, which was second only to the Hall of Fame Set.

Furthermore, as a Summoner who possessed an Orange Quality Staff, an Epic-level Summon Beast, and the super-powerful Territory Skill, Natural Emulation, it was only natural for The Mountain to clear the Colosseum that quickly.

“Woosh! Woosh!”

The amusement did not end there, however, as in a blink of an eye, another six names appeared in the God Wars Qualification Board.

[Third Place, anonymous. Class: Spellmaster, Open Colosseum Clear Time: 58 minutes 57 second(s).]

[Fourth Place, anonymous. Class: Martial Artist, Open Colosseum Clear Time: 59 minutes 01 second(s).]

[Fifth Place, anonymous. Class: Thief, Open Colosseum Clear Time: 59 minutes 32 second(s).]

[Sixth Place, Amber Sword Heart. Class: Armored Warrior, Open Colosseum Clear Time: 59 minutes 33 second(s).]

[Seventh Place, Brother Windcloud Nine. Class: God-chastised Paladin. Open Colosseum Clear Time: 59 minutes 51 second(s).]

‘Spellmaster?’

Li Yi was stunned yet again.

The Spellmaster class was a Superior Class of the Wizards, and it was only obtainable by advancing one’s class after clearing all 100 floors of the Tower of Remorse.

‘Who’s this freak that managed to beat the Tower of Remorse?’

Li Yi’s shock was uncontainable.

Aside from the Spellmaster, Li Yi could more or less identify the players who had remained anonymous.

“Heh, Amber Sword Heart’s doing it again. I guess his title as the Number One Main Tank in my past life wasn’t a farce.”

“Hmm, a God-chastised Paladin, eh. It seems that Brother Nine has successfully switched classes…”

Li Yi mumbled a few sentences to himself before waving his hand and vanishing into thin air. The next second, he appeared in front of the Tower of Remorse’s entrance.

The successful transition into a Spellmaster was just too shocking of a revelation for Li Yi. He had originally planned to complete the Tower of Remorse after clearing the Open Colosseum as it had just reset after his previous quest there. However, he had never expected the achievement to be robbed by someone else.

“Who’s this freak-*ss Wizard? To think that he managed to ascend to Spellmaster.”

Even though Li Yi had scrambled through his memories, and had come up with countless names, he was still unable to accurately determine the Spellmaster’s identity.

“Brother Nine, gather your people! We’re going to run the tower!”

“Alright, I’ll be there in a jiffy!”

Ten minutes later, Brother Nine and his men had appeared in front of the Tower of Remorse’s entrance.

At present, Li Yi’s Territory Power had already reached Rank 15, which was more than enough to single-handedly clear the Tower of Remorse. However, Li Yi was not thinking for himself, and it was more of his friends instead.

‘If I can clear it alone, I can clear it with friends as well!’

Jiaojiao, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, and the others had arrived. A party was established, and it was filled almost instantly.

Li Yi swept his gaze across the party, and asked, “Wait, where’s Qian’er? Why isn’t she here?”

The Cat that Sings shook her head. “I don’t know, maybe she has her period or something.”

Li Yi was so mad that he almost strangled her. “I’m not asking you!”

Jiaojiao shrugged. “No clue, she’s not with me.”

Li Yi checked his friends list and noticed that Qian’er was online and that she was currently on Mount Pantheon.

Li Yi sent a message over to her. “Yo, Tits Mc-gee, it’s time to clear the tower.”

“I have a quest to do. You guys can do it without me.”

Qian’er was not going to come.

“That Summoner over there, you don’t need to leave the party anymore. Our numbers are just right.”

Li Yi shouted into the Party Channel. In order to reserve a spot for Qian’er, Li Yi was tempted to kick the Summoner a while ago.

Brother Windcloud Nine pointed ahead. “Off to the tower, we go!

By following Li Yi’s guidance, Brother Windcloud Nine had successfully converted into a God-chastised Paladin!

Presently, Brother Windcloud Nine was wearing black armor and carrying a big red cross on his back. All of his previous equipment was now unequippable as God-chastised Paladins could only equip exclusive items that belonged to them.

Despite that, the equipment that he was currently wearing was by no means an entry-level equipment set. All of his equipment had been bought at an exorbitant price from Emperor Lan, and after stacking tons of Reinforcement Stones on them, their stats now far surpassed that of his original equipment, which in turn had enabled him to clear the Open Colosseum.

“Please stay back for a moment, just leave the first wave to me.”

The moment they entered the Tower of Remorse, Brother Windcloud Nine brought out his crimson cross and slowly trudged towards a group of skeletal monsters.

“Wrathful Bloody Cross Strike!”

Brother Windcloud Nine then leaped with all his might, suddenly expanding the crimson cross in his hand, and slamming it violently into the ground.

“Boom! Bam! Wham! Crash!”

With that, the 180 skeletal monsterlings beneath him had perished.

It was a one-hit kill!
