Multiverse Skill System

Page 485

"Next stop: the virtual battlefield. Let's see where my skill level stands in this Multiverse United High School, so I can formulate my next plan."

The virtual battlefield is divided into single-player mode and multiplayer mode. In single-player mode, you can hone your combat skills or develop your abilities by yourself. In multiplayer mode, everyone in the school is present and can compete. Single-player competitions are further divided into one-on-one, multiplayer free-for-all, and team competitions.

The virtuality of the virtual battlefield is almost 100%. The injuries and deaths experienced inside are very realistic. If you can forget that you are in a virtual battlefield, honing your skills inside is no different from the outside world, which is why it is so popular.

If it weren't for the fact that the virtual battlefield couldn't provide a realistic experience, the people from the academy probably wouldn't even want to explore the secret realm.

"New user detected. Initiating character creation scan."

He felt an immense consciousness scan his entire body, not even sparing his chaotic form, and even discovering his personal world. However, Yi Shuihan managed to use the power of his personal world to prevent the scan from being completed.

Yi Shuihan could sense that if this consciousness wanted to, its personal world would also be subject to scanning, but after encountering resistance, this massive consciousness did not continue.

"Please select whether to name it. If you do not name it, the default name will be your own name."

"Naming is too easy."

"Naming successful. Welcome to the virtual world, Taiyi."

As the scenery changed, Yi Shuihan realized that the scene before him was actually the main gate of the Multiverse United University.

"Could it be that the virtual world is exactly the same as the Multiverse United University?"

Next, Yi Shuihan's question was answered, and it really was true. The only difference was that there were many secret realms here, which were repetitive and could be entered at any time. In addition, battles could be fought on the arena at any time.

"Requesting entry into the training ground!"

A person suddenly appeared next to Yi Shuihan. Why do I say "spontaneously"? Because it's very similar to the character spawning event in the game; a person appears all at once.

The person who appeared was clearly a veteran; he shouted something and then vanished in a flash of white light.

After staring at the spot where the person had disappeared for a few seconds, Yi Shuihan uttered the same words.

"Requesting entry into the training ground!"

Then Yi Shuihan's figure also disappeared from the spot.

"This is... so familiar!"

How could it not be familiar! The scene before me was just like the void I had seen on the first floor of the Tower of Babel.

"Please set the content; just imagine it!"

Having figured out how to operate, Yi Shuihan began to imagine. Whatever Yi Shuihan thought of would immediately appear in front of him, and after a short while, a qualified training ground would appear.

"Interesting! Let me have some fun!"

He began a solo performance, engaging in various battles in the training grounds.

After a few days,

"I didn't expect so much time to have passed. If I hadn't been reminded, I probably would have continued."

Knowing that he had been fighting for several days, Yi Shuihan's expression became somewhat strange. This could be considered as being addicted to the game. This kind of game was supported and promoted by the Multiverse Union of Universities, since schools would like their students to cultivate so diligently!

"Let's try a battle next!"

After pondering for a while, Yi Shuihan figured out how to start the battle.

Team battles were out of the question, and Yi Shuihan hadn't joined any teams. The only options were individual battles or free-for-alls, and Yi Shuihan ultimately chose individual battles, one-on-one.

"Matching has begun, please wait..."

The matchmaking process was very quick, almost completed in a second, and Yi Shuihan was then teleported to a large arena where he met his opponent.

"0 wins, 0 losses, 0% win rate, a newbie with no rank? Is this a setup for me to stomp on noobs?!"

In front of Yi Shuihan was a virtual faceplate with his name, battle record, and other information written on it, with the three zeros standing out prominently.

"Raging Wings, record 9283 wins and 9999 losses, win rate 48%, rank: Iron".

After scanning his opponent's information, Yi Shuihan understood his opponent's strength. He was probably just an average student at school, since his win rate was less than 50%.

Yi Shuihan knew about the ranks here. After playing a thousand games, the ranks would be determined by win rate. Those with a win rate below 50% would be Iron, those between 50% and 60% would be Bronze, those between 60% and 70% would be Silver, those between 70% and 80% would be Gold, those between 80% and 90% would be King, those between 90% and 95% would be Emperor, and those above 95% would be King.

Reaching the corresponding rank will change the information panel, specifically in terms of visual appeal. For example, the lowest rank, Black Special, has a black iron border, Silver has a silver border, Gold has a gold border, King has a tricolor border and a crown in front of the name, Emperor has a five-color border and two crowns in front of the name, and King has a seven-color border and three crowns in front of the name.

In short, the higher the rank, the more eye-catching the information display box becomes, and it is said that there are certain privileges involved.

"Ragewing relinquishes the right to choose the battle scene. Please select the battle scene."

The news rang out directly in the arena. Yi Shuihan was stunned when he heard it. He looked over and saw a very provocative smile. His opponent seemed to have already decided to win.

Chapter 1242, Ghostly Killing

"In that case, let's use this arena."

As Yi Shuihan said this, the battle scene was selected. Nothing changed on the scene except for a battle countdown.

"What a pity! I gave you a chance to fight back a few more times, but you gave up. That takes away some of the fun for me!"

The man with the name "Wings of Rage" said with a regretful expression.

Yi Shuihan remained silent, not out of fear or cowardice, but because he felt that actions speak louder than words.

"Tch, what a boring reaction."

Not getting the desired effect, Berserker Wings also lost interest in continuing the conversation with Yi Shuihan. His expression gradually became serious as the countdown progressed, even though he knew he shouldn't be distracted in battle, based on experience gained from nearly 20,000 battles.

The moment the countdown reached zero, Yi Shuihan moved, his body transforming into a phantom as he appeared before the Wings of Berserk, and then slashed down with his lightning sword.

"So fast!"

The Wrathful Wings only had time to utter such thoughts before it watched helplessly as it was cleaved in two.

"Victory is too easy."

The congratulatory sound echoed in the space. At the same time, Yi Shuihan's information panel reappeared in front of him. His wins changed from 0 to 1, and his win rate changed from 0 to 100%.

Having recovered from his injuries, Berserker Wings stared at the composed Yi Shuihan with a grim expression, but dared not utter another word of provocation. After what had just happened, he knew this newcomer was not someone he could afford to offend. Against someone stronger than himself, especially someone far stronger, maintaining outward humility was the most sensible course of action.

Yi Shuihan glanced at Berserker Wings indifferently, which immediately put Berserker Wings under great pressure. Just as he was about to say something to ease the tension, Yi Shuihan's figure had already disappeared from the spot. Yi Shuihan had no intention of continuing to play with Berserker Wings and had already started the next match.

"Too easy? Now there's another powerful name I need to remember."

With a complex sigh, the figure of the Wrathful Wings gradually disappeared.

The second battle was against a fairly ordinary opponent, and Yi Shuihan defeated him in one move. Then came the third, the fourth...

"You've got a 100-win, 0-loss record? Let me, the 100% win rate terminator, end your winning streak!"

10 seconds later.

"Victory is too easy."

"..."

"Kid, you'll never beat me. I'm a Bronze, not some Iron."

"Victory is too easy."

With victory after victory, Yi Shuihan finally reached the 384th match. He had already won 383 matches before that, each one a clean and decisive victory. Only in a few matches did he manage to get a few extra moves because his opponents' defenses were a bit too strong.

If this trend continues, Yi Shuihan might be able to obtain the Emperor rank after playing 1000 matches. At that time, his name will probably spread throughout the entire virtual battlefield. It should be noted that there are currently only a few hundred people in the entire virtual battlefield who have reached the Emperor rank.

The total number of people in the entire virtual battlefield exceeds ten million. This place gathers geniuses from all the heavens and myriad worlds. The worlds of all the heavens and myriad worlds are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, so it is not surprising that ten million people gather here, after all, some new life is added every ten thousand years.

The students at the Multiverse United University span tens of millions of grades, because the greatest possibility of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm was only possible tens of millions of years ago. Theoretically, the probability of breaking through again after tens of millions of years is zero. This also applies to special life forms.

Only a few hundred out of millions of people possess the Emperor rank, which shows how prestigious it is. Once you become an Emperor, you are basically a star student of the All-Worlds United University and a seed-level figure to break through to the Chaos Emperor rank. In the past, most Chaos Emperors emerged from the Emperor rank.

"Oh? Finally, someone stronger has arrived."

The opponent in the 384th match was completely different from the previous opponents, because this was a Gold-level player. Only those with a win rate of over 70% are considered Gold-level players, and the opponent in front of him had a win rate of 79%, close to 80%. The aura emanating from the opponent was different from that of the previous opponents, filled with a chilling presence.

You can tell from their demeanor that after seeing Yi Shuihan's information, the other party's eyes first showed surprise, and then they immediately entered a fighting state, showing no intention of chatting. This shows that they really regard Yi Shuihan as a formidable opponent.

The opponent's name was Hasakario, and his race was definitely not human. He had a distinctive mark on his face and was wielding an exaggerated greatsword. You could tell at a glance that he was not someone to mess with.

At the start of the battle, Hasakario displayed his strength as a Gold Saint, charging forward at a speed even faster than Yi Shuihan.

Ghost Combo is an attack skill used by Hasakario. As long as the first hit hits the opponent, he can launch a continuous combo. Each hit is faster and more powerful than the last. If the opponent does not break the combo, Ghost Combo will continue to grow stronger until it is enough to kill the opponent. Of course, for Hasakario, his maximum combo count is 3,000.

When the 3000th kill is dealt, Hasakario's attack power will rise to the level of the sixth floor of the Tower of Babel.

Hasakario used to reach the King rank with his high kill streak, and was even just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster. However, because of his great fame, he was targeted. Those who fought him either let him finish his kill streak or simply used their strongest move at the beginning of the battle to decide the outcome. This is how Hasakario's rank became Gold.

Yi Shuihan was clearly unaware of Hasakario's true strength, so he did not use the correct methods of combat. Instead, he kept parrying Hasakario's Ghost Combo, trying to find an opening.

Three minutes later, Hasakario's Ghost kill streak had reached 2000 kills, which was the limit of the fifth level, and Yi Shuihan was finding it difficult to keep up.

"We miscalculated. We should have forced a halt to his progress from the beginning. Now we can only continue to tough it out. He probably won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

Thinking this to himself, Yi Shuihan wasn't too disappointed. He still had the Chaotic Body as his trump card, which allowed him to withstand even the attacks from the sixth level of the Tower of Babel, and even the seventh level for a while.

Chapter 1243, The Ranking Tournament Ends

In the blink of an eye, he reached 2800 kills. At this point, Hasakario himself was starting to feel the strain. The discomfort in his body made him want to stop. He hadn't felt anything like this in a long time. His previous enemies would never have forced him to use so many kills.

Even Hasakario has to admit Yi Shuihan's strength now; he has stepped into the realm of the King. Most Gold players can't even last past 2000 kills, and after 2500 kills, they should focus on reaching the King level.

Both in terms of attack speed and power, after 2800 kills, Hasakario reached an incredibly high level, enough to make even a normal True Saint tremble.

"It should be almost done, right?"

While fending off Hasakario's relentless attacks, Yi Shuihan felt somewhat uncertain. The main problem was that Hasakario's gaze was too unwavering, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. Even Yi Shuihan began to doubt his own judgment. What if the opponent could really keep going indefinitely?

Yi Shuihan has already made use of the Chaos Body; if he didn't have the Chaos Body, he would have been covered in wounds long ago.

"At this rate of increase, if he can achieve a five-thousand-kill streak, I might be doomed. It would be better to rely on my Chaos Body to launch a strong counterattack."

When this thought came to mind, Hasakario had already reached 2999 kills and was entering the final 3000 kills. His attack power had completely reached the level of the 6th floor of the Tower of Babel. Yi Shuihan could hardly see the opponent's moves and was directly hit.

Hasakario had stopped and was panting heavily. After using up his 3000-kill streak, his physical strength was almost completely exhausted. He was only able to stand up because of sheer willpower.

Although physically exhausted, Hasakario felt great inside. He hadn't been able to fully unleash his potential in a long time, and at this moment, he believed he should have won. Victory could make one forget about fatigue.

"Huh? What's going on! There's no victory notification sound."

Suddenly, Hasakali's heart skipped a beat as he noticed something amiss. He looked up in the direction of Yi Shuihan and was dumbfounded. Yi Shuihan was there quietly watching him, unharmed except for a sword mark on his clothes.

"I surrender."

With a wry smile, Hasakario chose to concede defeat. Even going all out could only produce this much effect; the difference in strength was already very obvious.

With his opponent readily admitting defeat, Yi Shuihan felt it was inappropriate to continue. He was slightly frustrated, as he had been on the defensive from beginning to end and was just about to launch an attack when his opponent conceded.

Hasakalio gave Yi Shuihan a deep look before disappearing from the arena.

After a moment of silence, Yi Shuihan readjusted his mindset and continued his fight.

As the 385th battle began, the strength of the opponents increased, and they gradually became able to exchange blows with Yi Shuihan. It became very difficult for Yi Shuihan to win with absolute strength as before.

Fighting against geniuses from all races across the myriad realms will also benefit Yi Shuihan in integrating into the myriad realms, allowing him to witness more cultivation systems, more bizarre skills, and more combat styles.

In every battle, Yi Shuihan would make new discoveries and see new things, which was what kept him fighting. Even later on, he didn't care much about winning or losing.

Later, Yi Shuihan also realized that the victory obtained by relying on the Chaos Body was meaningless. So when fighting against an opponent, if he realized that the opponent was really stronger than him without the Chaos Body, he would naturally admit defeat. Of course, if he didn't like the opponent, he would still use the Chaos Body to crush him.

After a full month of fighting without sleep, Yi Shuihan finally finished a thousand placement matches and was placed in the King rank with a win rate of 88%. He encountered more than a hundred opponents with strength from the 6th level of the Tower of Babel, and even a few monsters from the 7th level. Among these opponents were Kings and Emperors, while the few from the 7th level were all Emperors.

Facing those seven levels of the Tower of Babel, even if Yi Shuihan used his Chaotic Body, he could only hold out a little longer at most, and in the end he would still be judged to have lost the match. After all, in a virtual battlefield, defense is not as good as offense.

With its tricolor border and crown, Yi Shuihan would definitely attract a lot of attention if he walked out with special effects on. He was already considered a master in the Multiverse United University.

There are only a few hundred Emperors in this Myriad Realms Alliance High School, while there are tens of thousands of Sovereigns and hundreds of thousands of Kings. If we rank them up, Yi Shuihan could rank in the top million without using the Chaos Body, and if he used the Chaos Body, he should have no problem ranking in the top thousand. With the power of the world, he would definitely be qualified to challenge for the top ten. As for his exact ranking in the top ten, that remains unknown.

From the battles on the virtual battlefield, Yi Shuihan had already realized that all those at the Emperor level had already met at least one of the conditions for advancing to the Chaos Emperor level. Without his personal world, Yi Shuihan had only barely reached the Emperor level.

The sheer number of experts and geniuses beyond Yi Shuihan's expectations made him feel both pressured and incredibly excited.

"Brother Han, you're finally back."

When Yi Shuihan dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, he saw Ba Tianhun running over with a few unfamiliar guys who looked like his underlings. It was clear that Ba Tianhun was still full of vigor and high spirits.

"I forgot this guy was here."

While he was considering whether it was too late to turn around and leave, Ba Tianhun had already appeared completely in front of him.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Yi Shuihan, the vice leader of our Batian Gang. Apart from me, he will be the highest-ranking member in the gang from now on. Do you all understand?"

"understood."

"Okay, call him Brother Han."

"Brother Han!" "Brother Han!" "..."

"I haven't agreed to join the Overlord Gang yet, have I?" Looking at the group of people who resembled gangsters, Yi Shuihan didn't know what to say. He could only nod numbly and walk towards his room, intending to avoid seeing them and getting annoyed.
