Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate-Chapter 63 - Chance to Challenge the Winner’s Group
Chapter 63: Chance to Challenge the Winner’s Group
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Since Lin An only needed to accept one challenge, and there were too many cultivators who wanted to fight him, the judges couldn’t settle on an opponent, so they let him choose his own challenger.
Lin An naturally pointed at Li Kuang.
“Dog thief! Do you dare to sign a life-and-death contract with me? In the upcoming battle, only the winner will walk out alive! If you dare, then come up, and I’ll accept your challenge. If you don’t, then get lost. I’ll pick someone else to be my challenger.”
The crowd stared at Lin An and Li Kuang with a stupefied look. Under the surprised gazes, some disciples even thought that Lin An was an idiot, and they chattered wildly.
“Is this kid crazy? He’s only at the initial level of the golden core stage, and he actually wants to have a life and death duel with a cultivator at the peak level of the golden core stage?”
Originally, the tournament’s judges protected the participants from losing their lives. However, since Lin An had issued a life and death challenge, the judges couldn’t interfere in the pending battle.
“Ai, didn’t you hear the news? I heard that the purple-clothed disciple killed his junior brother and sister, so that could be why he issued the challenge. But he’s still too young. Even if the purple-clothed disciple’s companions don’t make a move, he absolutely can’t win against him. He’s just blinded by hatred.”
“What? That’s what this is about? This kid is too lonely, but I like it. Kid, you have to survive!”
“Come on!”
After learning about Li Kuang’s deeds, most of the cultivators cheered for Lin An. They related to his cause, and they felt a sense of sadness.
Li Kuang had naturally made the same assumption as the rest of the cultivators.
He thought that Lin An was blinded by hatred, and he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. Lin Kuang hadn’t expected that he would have a second opportunity to enter the Dragon God Illusionary Realm.
He immediately jumped onto the stage and said to the old referee, “Promise me that we will fight to the death, and only the winner will walk out alive. I hope that you won’t stop me later.”
Lin Kuang then turned to Lin An and mocked him cruelly, “As expected, those who do good deeds will always receive good karma. Your friends ruined my junior sister’s clothes, and I crippled them and tied them to a tree so that wild beasts would feast on them. To my junior sister, I did a good deed for a just cause, and it appears that I’ve received some good karma. Therefore, the next good thing I will do is to send you to reunite with your junior brother and sister! The opportunity in the Dragon God Illusionary Realm will be the karma for my good deed!”
After Li Kuang finished speaking, he ran towards Lin An and punched him in the face.
His fist generated a powerful gust of wind which showed the strength of the punch.
However, Lin An quickly activated the Eastern Emperor Bell and the morality demon sealing technique and then used the dark flame transformation to counter the attack.
His flaming palm caught Li Kuang’s fist, but the surging energy flowed down Lin An’s face and penetrated his protective golden light.
Despite the slight breach in his defensive treasures, Lin An steadily held on to Lin Kuang’s fist, and it seemed that the first exchange between the two rivals had turned into a draw.
Li Kuang had originally thought that his fierce punch would knock Lin An to the ground, and he hadn’t expected him to hold on to his fist.
He was a little surprised for a moment, but he didn’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, he immediately activated the purple sun technique that he had cultivated.
When he sensed the change in the power on Li Kuang’s fist, Lin An hurriedly retreated.
Even though the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ was a cultivation technique that grew stronger with each battle, Lin An didn’t want to end the battle so quickly.
He had planned to cautiously fight Li Kuang for a while, and he would only use his trump card once he had the confidence that he was on the verge of victory.
However, Li Kuang was a skilled opponent. After he activated the purple sun technique, it covered his body in a layer of purple light.
Suddenly, he pushed out his palm, and the vast purple light shot toward Lin An.
When he saw the impending attack, Lin An quickly drew out the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword and poured his mana into it.
As soon as the sword was covered in a layer of golden light, Lin An pointed it towards his opponent, and a three-meter-long golden light zapped out and collided with the purple light.
In an instant, an exploding ball of dazzling light blew up in the air.
Li Kuang’s attack failed, but he immediately shot another ray of purple light towards Lin An.
To Lin Kuang’s surprise, Lin An quickly activated the golden light and blocked the strike, but he did not fight back.
He only defended the continuous strikes, and in just over ten minutes, the two opponents had exchanged over ten rounds, and the arena continuously lit up because of the ferocious attacks.
Lin An was sweating profusely from blocking Li Kuang’s attack, but he observed that his opponent’s breathing was only slightly irregular.
The stark contrast in stamina between the two rivals exhibited the difference between an initial stage and a peak stage golden core level cultivator.
However, after a few minutes, Lin An felt that the power in his body had already increased by two levels, and he was confident that he could launch several attacks.
The success rate system’s virtual screen immediately lit up and reminded Lin An about the Hurricane Sword technique.
[The probability of using the Hurricane Sword style to cause twice the damage is 90%.]
After reading the success rate system’s notification, Lin An felt that using the Hurricane Sword technique wouldn’t be effective.
The strike would not cause much of a stir to a peak stage golden core cultivator, so Lin An gave up on using the move.
“Black and white ashen flames!”
The black-and-white ashen flames also had the power of a peak aurous core stage cultivator. However, they barely tore through Li Kuang’s purple light seal.
When he saw this, Lin An raised his sword and rushed towards Li Kuang.
He scanned the success rate system for a clue on any advantage that would increase the power of the Hurricane Sword technique.
After looking around, Lin An realized that the space in front of Li Kuang had the highest success rate probability to implement the Hurricane Sword style.
However, Li Kuang seemed determined not to leave his original spot. He just stood there and attacked Lin An with the purple glow.
“Hey, dog thief, if you have the guts, come and fight me. Why are you just standing there? Don’t tell me you think you’re very handsome?
No way! Does such a big and burly man think that he is good-looking? That’s really quite disgusting.
Or are you doing a ridiculous pose to impress your beautiful junior sister? That’s really quite pitiful.”
Since he had observed that Lin Kuang’s defensive skills were top-notch, Lin An had decided to antagonize him hoping he would take a few steps forward.
To his delight, Li Kuang fell for the trap. Everyone could see that he liked the flirtatious junior sister.
Lin Kuang had thought that he had hidden his feelings, but now that Lin An had exposed them, he instantly became angry and embarrassed.
In an instant, he stomped his feet and charged at Lin An. As he rushed towards him, he stretched out his hands with the intention of tearing Lin An’s mouth apart.
Following Lin An’s insults, Li Kuang hadn’t dared to turn his head.
He felt as if everyone was looking at him with a mocking gaze that said, “Look! That gorilla actually likes his peerless and beautiful junior sister! He really doesn’t know his place at all!”.
“Black and white ashen flames, dark flame transformation!”
Taking advantage of his opponent’s unstable battle spirit, Lin An immediately used his strongest combination skill.
The black and white ashen flames were now at the peak of the golden core stage, and the dark flame transformation technique could compress and amplify the flames’ power before they exploded.
Additionally, the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ suddenly altered Lin An’s physique. He immediately felt that his physical ability was similar to that of an intermediate level golden core stage cultivator.
As he charged towards Lin Quang, Lin An realized that the ‘Scripture of No Beginning’ had also made him more courageous in battle.
