Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 826 - 488: Causal Loop Gun_2

Chapter 826 -488: Causal Loop Gun_2

“I’m afraid even if I told anyone, the City Lord wouldn’t believe me,” Logan thought to himself.

So, Logan simply chose not to mention it and glanced into the small porcelain bottle, where he found, to his surprise, an ample three elixirs of the same kind.

“With this elixir, your spiritual energy can be replenished from depletion multiple times—I’m confident that with this, taking first place is within our grasp!”

Unlike the excited City Lord, Logan’s mind was occupied with pondering Nineteen’s intentions.

He wanted me to concede first place to Snow Wood, making it seem like someone purposefully sent by Snow Wood had orchestrated this.

But knowing Snow Wood as I do, he would never stoop to such petty tactics to obtain the Saint Emperor Legacy.

However… it’s true what they say, ‘You can know someone’s face but not their heart.’

Logan shook his head, casting all those sundry thoughts from his mind.

“Never mind, the competition is about to begin in just four hours—I should focus on recovering,” he concluded.

Hearing Logan’s words, the City Lord decided not to disturb him further and handed over several tens of millions of Spirit Stones stored in a Space Storage Bag to Logan.

“Good luck this afternoon. I’m going to bet on you taking first place!”

Logan’s heart stirred, and he stopped the City Lord who was about to leave, feeling somewhat guilty.

“City Lord, both opponents I’ll face later are far from ordinary. My body hasn’t fully recovered, and even with these three elixirs, I can only contend with one of them at a time. I feel that no matter which one I face, I can only deal with one of them. Maybe you should bet on me for second place instead…”

Logan’s words lacked conviction, especially after his previous vow that he would most certainly take first place, and now he was backing down.

As expected, the City Lord instantly sensed something was off with Logan.

Connecting it to the incidents that happened earlier at the doorway, his keen intuition led him to a possible conclusion.

“You’re not planning to hand over first place to someone else, are you? Don’t forget how difficult it’s been to get to this point. To give up first place because of a few words and a bribe… That’s the Saint Emperor Legacy we’re talking about!”

The City Lord’s words carried the weight of disappointment in someone who had not met his expectations.

Logan coughed awkwardly, looking somewhat uneasy.

Truth be told, he hadn’t intended to give up first place; he had simply taken a moment to realistically evaluate his strength.

If, in the previous match, Snow Wood won first place by making someone severely wounded surrender, and Luke Skyward took second with overwhelming strength, it meant neither of them had yet encountered a situation they couldn’t handle, and he still didn’t know what their last resorts could be.

Under these circumstances, having already revealed his hand and strength was extremely disadvantageous.

After hearing Logan’s explanation, the City Lord sighed.

Looking at it rationally, he knew that Logan could at best take second place. Despite his personal wishes for Logan to win first place, it seemed Logan had already made other plans and decisions.

“No matter what, I just hope you don’t regret your decision,” the City Lord said.

Logan nodded firmly, knowing that if he couldn’t seize this opportunity, he could always attempt what Nineteen had mentioned.

Only then, Nineteen would benefit, and he would have to address him as Master.

Soon it was afternoon, and having rested sufficiently, Logan took the porcelain bottle Nineteen had given him and headed to the battlefield, where today’s rules were only just announced.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon is the final round. Our rule is—each of the three contestants will take a position on one side of the stage. With the exception of cheating, any method is permissible, be it open confrontation or secret schemes, alliances or betrayals; the only requirement is to win the match, and all magical treasures are permitted.”

Clearly, the organizers still favored certain outcomes, hoping for a winner between Logan and Snow Wood.

If the Demon Race was to gain the inheritance, it would surely displease the cultivation world as a whole.

Yet there was nothing they could do to prevent the Demon Cultivators from participating in the competition, so they had manipulated the rules instead.

As expected, upon hearing the competition rules, Luke Skyward’s expression darkened. He gave the host a displeased look, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Logan actually thought this was a good rule, after all, it gave his side a bit of an advantage. If it were a series of one-on-one fights, a person having to fight twice, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

The three of them quickly took their places, each heading to their respective sides.

Luke Skyward’s face had been sour all along, mainly due to his anger toward this rule.

Without even having to think about it, he knew that Snow Wood and Logan would definitely join forces to target him, which was equivalent to him having two enemies at the same time, likely to be the first to be defeated.

Indeed, before the start of the match, with just a look, Snow Wood and Logan had already set their target. As soon as the start signal sounded, they both unleashed their killer moves.

Logan quickly drew an array on the ground using blood as ink.

Snow Wood, on the other hand, had two groups of fresh red flames pulsing in her hands.

Logan’s array was the Demon-Lock Formation, and Snow Wood’s flames were the Subdue Demon Flame. It was clear that they planned to eliminate Luke Skyward first.

The Demon-Lock Formation moved toward Luke Skyward. Luke Skyward shuddered and then wore a dark purple Demon Armor. Horns also grew out of his head, and he went all out, with Demonic Qi shooting into the sky.

All the cultivators in the audience showed expressions of disgust.

For them, although Demon Cultivators were also cultivators, they were still perceived as deviants following the Demon Path.

However, it had been agreed upon early in preliminaries like these, that both Demon Cultivators and regular cultivators had the right to participate. Otherwise, it was feared that those cultivators who practiced the Demon Path would turn the Cultivation world upside down, something many cultivators didn’t want to see. They would rather maintain superficial peace.

Down in the audience, the Sect Leader of the Sky Demon Sect clenched his fists tightly, as if flames of rage were about to erupt from his eyes.

The organizers really had no sense of propriety, actually forcing their hand with such rules.

In an unseen corner, the fists of the Sky Demon Sect’s Sect Leader were tightly clenched.

Protected by the Demon Armor, the Extinguish Demon Flame didn’t cause Luke Skyward much harm. However, being a Formation Master, the array laid down by Logan trapped Luke Skyward so that he could barely move.

“I’ll restrict his movements. Don’t worry. But if your attack doesn’t work, let me do it,” Logan said.

Logan instantly burned twenty million Spirit Stones, obtaining twenty times the amplified strength, a force far beyond what ordinary people could endure.

This strike was even more potent than when he faced Huo Yun’E before, so much so that even the heavens and earth seemed to change color.

Even Snow Wood couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

Just an afternoon’s rest, and was Logan’s Spiritual Power already fully replenished as before?

Or was it that he had intentionally held back some strength in his previous fight with Huo Yun’E, just to catch his opponents off guard in the finals?

Snow Wood became inwardly vigilant. She had thought that she had grasped Logan’s limits before, but now it seemed it was just the tip of the iceberg.

If Logan knew Snow Wood’s current thoughts, he would certainly laugh, for after burning these twenty million Spirit Stones, he was left with only a few tens of millions, almost down to the last ditch.

Although Nineteen had given him Elixirs to replenish Spiritual Power, it still wasn’t certain whether he could hold out against Snow Wood at her peak.

Logan threw a punch, and the trapped Luke Skyward couldn’t dodge, forced to take the hit head-on.

Fortunately, they had been given a chance to rest and recuperate before, and the Sect Leader of the Sky Demon Sect had also quietly given Luke Skyward a number of treasures to bolster his confidence in the upcoming matches.

The treasures showed their worth at this moment.

However, Logan’s punch destroyed an entire defensive Divine Artifact.

This scene was something everyone had just witnessed that morning. Back then, they thought Huo Yun’E’s Divine Artifact was easily shattered because he was exhausted, but now it was clear that Logan was capable of smashing a defensive Divine Artifact with a single punch, proving his true strength and ensuring that no one would underestimate him again.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, I bet on Snow Wood as the first place just now, now put all my fortune on Logan for first place! I can see this kid really has the strength!”

“Raise the stakes, I underestimated the kid before!”
