Chapter 637: Territory Power

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Disorient icon appeared above Li Yi’s head, but before Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Charge hit recovery even ended, he could already move.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Ghost Crab, and in another second, he had transformed into a Violent Bear, activating Charge.

“Bam! Bam!”

The Disorient icon appeared above Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s head instead.

Li Yi took one step back and aimed his Orange Colored Bow. “Powered-up Arrow!”

“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst...”

Unlike his usual Powered-up Arrow, the way Li Yi drew the bow this time was quite different. He drew it again and again about a dozen times, but he never once released the shot.

Just as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s Disorient status was wearing off, the Ghost Crab reached him in time and caught him in its claws.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had guessed right. The gold-colored Hunt Target Li Yi left above his head was indeed out of the ordinary. If he had not used Dark Devour to remove it, the same unexpected result from the last match would probably have been recreated.

This time, however...

“Brrr—”

Li Yi’s unusual Powered-up Arrow left his bow before Tyrant Sword King the Fifth could move...

[−378653]

The brilliant red damage figures appeared, and Tyrant Sword King the Fifth crashed to the ground.

It was another one hit kill!

Knockout!

Li Yi pulled back his bow with a smile. The players in the stands were stunned, and none of them could believe their own eyes...

Two consecutive one hit kills... What equipment could he be wearing to make him so strong?

The Virtual Screen allowed them to see the participants’ equipment information any time they wanted, so they could clearly see that aside from the Orange Quality Bow and the Wind Sword, there was nothing else special about Li Yi’s equipment.

“That’s impossible. How could he deal so much damage with such equipment?”

“No way!”

“F*ck, I call hacks!”

“Instant kill? Well, f*ck me, I wanna learn!”

“I get it, I get it, no wonder he sold off all his equipment. He’s hacking!”

They could not believe what they were seeing, and they could not come up with a reasonable explanation either, so the spectators lost their minds and attributed Li Yi’s high damage numbers to hacking.

However, hacking had vanished from the game at least ten years ago. Besides, which idiot would try to hack during an all-access tournament, in front of tens of millions of players?

Li Yi was no idiot, and neither did he hack. This was all within the normal confines of the game.

“No wonder you sold your equipment. You completely ignore Abnormal Statues, so you’re never disoriented or stunned. Your damage is ridiculous, so all that legendary equipment doesn’t make a difference to you at all...” Others were confused, but Jiaojiao understood.

Li Yi just smiled slightly without offering an explanation.

The reason he dared to sell his equipment was just as Jiaojiao said. In truth, he could have killed his opponent just like this over the previous few matches too, but in order to hide his true abilities, he simply pretended to struggle.

Brother Simon sighed. “So I guess I’ve become the bridesmaid this time, huh?”

Brother Simon was feeling very dejected because he had been preparing for this tournament for a long time, but in the end, he could not even make it into the finals.

His wife, Lil Jinlian, hurriedly comforted him. “Don’t be upset, darling, you’re much better than him.”

Those around them happened to hear that line and immediately misunderstood, their minds rolling into the gutter...

...

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth stood up and stared at Li Yi, unblinkingly.

There was another match lined up, this one to determine who came in second and who was third.

The emcee took the stage and announced that Li Yi had won the title of Brawl King.

“I object!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth barked loudly.

He did not even know he lost, and it frustrated him to no end. How could he possibly let Li Yu win just like that?

“I request an official explanation. How did he deal so much damage?”

“Give us an official explanation!”

“Give us an official explanation!”

The players in the crowd rallied behind Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s demand.

According to the values displayed on the player’s Equipment Panel, they could calculate the strongest and weakest possible attacks. No matter how they calculated using Li Yi’s panel, there was no way he could deal so much damage.

It was a complete and utter mystery, so how could anyone recognize such a result?

There was no way they would!

It was not just Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, more than 80% of the players present refused to acknowledge that result.

Aside from Li Yi’s friends, who would take this at face value?

“We vehemently request an official explanation!”

Jiaojiao waved her little fist and joined the rally, such that Li Yi had to roll his eyes at her. That feisty little traitor.

The truth was many people were not jealous, they were confused. All of them believed in Li Yi’s skill, but if they could not get a proper explanation, the matter would continue to haunt them.

As the players continued to rally, the Virtual Screen began to glow.

“Territories!”

The large, sparkling word appeared on the screen, followed by a demonstration clip.

It would be hard to convince the others without a clear explanation. The Pantheon officials had no choice but to take this step so they could explain how Li Yi became so overpowered.

It was all due to Territory Power!

Stronger than all other powers, second only to Divine Power — that was what they called Territories.

When Territory Power was activated, the player character would automatically resist 100% of Abnormal Statuses and achieve 100% hit recovery. At the same time, all of their attributes would temporarily increase to different extents according to their different classes.

This was the reason Li Yi could brush off Retribution Windstorm and ignore the Disorient effect that came with Charge He had already mastered this Territory Power, so all Abnormal Statuses and combo hits had no effect on him.

As for how he could kill Tyrant Sword King the Fifth with one shot, there was a very simple explanation for that too. Anything lower than a god was nothing in the face of Territory Power. It dealt additional damage to regular players, and besides, Li Yi had also mastered a mysterious Territory Skill.

As the name suggested, for players of the King of Pantheon game, their final goal was not to claim the throne or begin an empire. It was to become the king of the gods!

What was the main difference between gods and mortals?

It was their overwhelming difference in power!

A god could destroy a city with one wave of their hand, but could a mortal do that?

Of course not.

In King of Pantheon, before players learned how to use Territory Power, it was practically impossible for them to take on one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand opponents at once.

The reason for that was simple enough. Every player had status skills, and many of those skills guaranteed a status effect!

Take Li Yi for instance. He could set a record by taking on a hundred opponents all by himself mostly because he activated God Mode. This temporarily increased his Abnormality Resistance, allowing him to be immune to most of the status-inducing skills. Otherwise, if a bunch of people threw status skills at him all at once, how could he possibly evade them all?

Just like last time, during that accident outside the Soul Gate, the entire party fell prey to Lil Jinlian’s Sheep Herd Spell, and even someone as powerful as Li Yi could not escape it.

King of Pantheon had been running for two years now, and the only reason no one had been able to take on a thousand opponents at once was because Territory Power had yet to make an appearance.

Every player present was shocked. What on earth was Territory Power?

“Territory Power is not exclusive, every player has the right to earn it. As of right now, there are seven players who have mastered this Territory Power!”

The Virtual Screen explained what Territory Power was, and it even announced how many players could currently use it. This time, even Li Yi was stunned.

‘Seven?

‘So many...’

“That’s not fair, how come he can learn Territory Power but we can’t?”

“We demand an official explanation!”

“Explain!”

The players rioted again, this time not over Li Yi, but for their own personal gain. This time, however, the Pantheon officials did not deign to explain, and the Virtual Screen returned to its previous display.

The emcee took the stage, hurrying Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Ah Ye to begin the second and third place battle.

This time, Ah Ye raised his hand and announced that he was forfeiting. Next, they announced the results.

“In first place, Dark Wing. Your reward is the title of Brawl King and an Ancient Scroll!”

“In second place, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Your reward is the title of Brawl King and a Sacramental Stone Fragment!”

“In third place, Dreams After Dark (Ah Ye). Your reward is the title of Brawl King and a Sacramental Stone Fragment!”

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

Li Yi’s mailbox rang a few times, indicating that he had received the prizes.

A random ticket to the Seven Secret Places, a Legendary Treasure Chest, and an Ancient Scroll. Those were Li Yi’s total earnings, with the addition of the one and only title of Brawl King, of course.

Just then, the players began to murmur and leave the arena, one after the other.

The emcee cleared their throat. “Would the winners of the Team Preliminaries, Team Invincible Continent, please come onto the stage.”

“The tournament isn’t over yet?”

“Wha, there’s more?”

“Are there any more Gift Boxes from Heaven?”

“Yep, yep, look at the system. There will be a few more winners.”

The players began to grow excited again. They had been in low spirits earlier, but they did not expect there to be another match.

Li Yi, Jiaojiao, Unrivaled Unmatched, and Jiggly entered the Arena, one after the other.

“Sorry, but you’re disqualified.”

The emcee’s words were directed at Jiggly (Fake Fengxi).

Jiggly grew antsy. “C’mon, I just changed my name. Tell me in advance, I can change it back whenever I like.”

The emcee was very polite. “Randomly changing your name is forbidden in any official competition.”

“That’s cold, you’re too cold.”

Jiggly sighed softly and left the stage, dejected.

“Cat, give me a hug. Comfort me.”

Jiggly opened his arms at The Cat that Sings, but she shut him up with one sentence.

“Hug your own *ss!”

Jiaojiao poked Li Yi. “Lil Yi’zi, who was that just now?”

“Fengxi.”

Jiaojiao’s eyes widened. “What? But isn’t he... a Thief? How’d he become a Warrior?”

Li Yi chuckled. “As long as he wants to, he can take on... the appearance of any class.”

He had long since figured out the Fake Fengxi’s true identity. Only one person could change his name and equipment at will, and that was the renowned God of Massacre with a Thousand Faces from his previous life, Jiggly.

Of the Three Great Thieves, the Heroine of Justice, Bloody Rose, had retired from Pantheon; Hostile Mutilation with his infinite Stealth bug had fallen; and so the only one who remained was the God of Massacre with a Thousand Faces, Jiggly.

There was one thing Li Yi could not be sure of, however — was Jiggly his real name?

“Team Invincible Continent, Dark Wing, Invincible Jiaojiao, Unending Unmatched, you have earned the right to challenge the Pantheon Ruins!”

Just then, the emcee announced their reward for winning the Team Preliminaries.

They could challenge the Pantheon Ruins!

Li Yi immediately gave a jolt!
