Kalandor hoped to see Bu Shen step on Gaia, and even more, he wished that Bu Shen could kick Gaia out of the top ten. However, such thoughts remained only in his mind as fantasies.
He was well aware of Gaia's strength. Although Bu Shen was powerful, the chances of defeating Gaia were only about thirty percent. Thus, in the end, Kalandor set aside some unrealistic ideas and turned to advise Bu Shen instead.
Despite his deep-seated hatred buried for over a decade, and his desire to see Gaia suffer a miserable defeat in this Peak Showdown, Kalandor found himself hesitating. He did not want to drag Bu Shen into an unjust situation because of his own issues; that was not the way of friendship and went against his true intentions.
"The time has come. The Peak Showdown ranking challenge begins. All challengers, please come to the stage," Elena's melodious voice echoed from afar. Bu Shen took a breath, no longer thinking about the matter of the Taiyuan Spear. He patted Kalandor on the shoulder and turned towards his designated eighth Arena. His words drifted back to Kalandor on the wind.
"This battle is inevitable. I must prove myself; first, I will secure my place."
"Prove myself." Watching Bu Shen's resolute figure, Kalandor felt a growing sense of confusion. He realized that he had never truly understood Bu Shen.
This person, roughly the same age as him, came from a background far inferior yet managed to stay ahead of him;
This person, when weak and retreating, was still called a coward by others yet remained cheerful;
This person dared to kill princes and confront Habea III, showing a fierce side; yet this person also coveted his few boxes of Black Lotus Elixir, revealing a more despicable side;
In the end, this person was so resolute, knowing full well the dangers ahead but still charging forward solely to prove himself.
"What kind of person is he?" Looking at Bu Shen standing with his sword in the Arena, Kalandor shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When Bu Shen returned to the Arena, he was fully equipped with the Destruction Set. Clad in purple-black scaled armor, with black hair swirling and icy eyes, he exuded an aura of coldness that pressured everyone around him. Each contestant noticed the extraordinary nature of his Amplification Equipment, their gazes flickering with deeper apprehension.
The Fourth Prince Claire displayed a hint of fear and intense anger in his eyes as he looked at Bu Shen, filled with malice.
This Destroyer Set was evidently one of the highly renowned pieces of equipment treasured by the Duchy Royal Family. Otherwise, Claire would not have reacted so strongly upon seeing Bu Shen in this purple-black scaled armor.
Upon returning to the Arena, Bu Shen entered his personal attribute panel while pondering. The ranking Qualification Challenge was about to begin, and he needed to clearly understand the attributes increased by wearing the Destruction Set. Only then could he better control his own power.
"Character: Vampire: Vampire Faction: Dark
Strength: 58 (7+1) Agility: 6 (7+6) Constitution: 60 (+7) Spirit: 16 Energy: 11/16
Occupation: None Faith: None Level: Level Experience Points: 0/8000 Physical Condition: Normal 100%
Racial Gift (Active): Level 1 Baron Bloodline: Transformation effect: All attributes increase by twenty percent; triggers Bloodthirsty Fangs, entering the Bloodthirsty State. This state consumes 5 energy points and lasts for two minutes. Cooldown time: 10 minutes."
Upon seeing this, despite having anticipated it in his heart and sensing the immense explosive power coursing through his muscles, Bu couldn't help but feel a buzzing in his head, his eyes slightly dazed.
After the moment of daze came endless joy. Bu tightly clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying strength contained within this punch. He was certain that with this punch alone, he could easily take down ten of those like Harrison.
The basic attributes granted by the Destruction Set had directly doubled Bu's strength. Originally, he had an advantage due to the powerful basic attributes provided by his Vampire Physique. However, this advantage was merely on par with others who wore Excellence Level equipment, unable to form a crushing superiority in attributes.
But at this moment, with the Destruction Set on him, his strong basic attribute advantage resurfaced. With his current basic attributes, he could rival some Intermediate Level 4 warriors fully equipped in Excellent gear, and his actual combat power had increased significantly.
Just as Bu was immersed in joy, a voice suddenly came from not far beside him, startling him awake.
"Qualification Challenge: Each of you ten participants has only one chance to challenge. Each person will earn points based on their ranking. The tenth-ranked participant carries ten points, the ninth carries twenty points, and so on. The participants ranked in the Final Four each have seventy points.
Higher-ranked participants cannot challenge those ranked lower. This time, the challenge will be initiated by the participant ranked last. If they do not select a challenger within ten seconds, they will forfeit their only chance to challenge. Points will be retained but can only choose to passively defend.
The loser of a challenge will not only drop to last place but will also lose all their points, which will be added to the victorious defender's total.
Final rankings will be determined by the total amount of points earned. If anyone has the same total points, an additional match will be arranged to determine their ranking.
Specific challenge matters will be handled by each Arena's Judge. Participants must adhere to the Judge's decisions and may not make arbitrary comments."
Bu looked over in surprise to see Elena with a serious expression as she articulated the rules of the Qualification Challenge. Then she waved her hand and commanded, "Now, the Qualification Challenge begins! The tenth-ranked Hammer must quickly decide on a challenger and commence the ranking challenge."
As soon as she finished speaking, all eyes in the audience turned toward a plump contestant standing in the Tenth Arena, waiting for his response.
Bu also directed his gaze toward Hammer, the overweight youth. Although he was fat, standing in the arena gave him an imposing yet shrewd aura. However, his strength seemed merely Low-Level and had not yet reached Quasi-Mid-Level. If Bu hadn't seen him with his own eyes now, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention before.
It was evident that someone who silently secured a spot among the top ten would not be easy to deal with; he had just been too deeply hidden and low-key for Bu to notice.
An unexpected event occurred as ten seconds passed swiftly; Hammer remained silent and did not utter a word, seemingly intending to forfeit his only chance at a challenge and remain content with his current position.
The audience in the arena erupted into boos. Although some members of Hammer's family appeared displeased, they did not react aggressively; it was clear they had coordinated beforehand and were satisfied with maintaining this tenth position.
Elena's expression remained calm; she showed no reaction to Hammer's behavior and instead moved on to announce the name of the ninth-ranked contestant.
This contestant displayed signs of struggle as his gaze flickered between the seventh Arena's participant but just as he was about to make up his mind to issue a challenge, ten seconds had elapsed. With a cold snort from Elena, she directly skipped over him and fixed her gaze on Bu, blinking her eyes as she said, "Brent, it's your turn. Who do you want to challenge with your one chance?"
With Elena's question posed, all eyes in the audience once again focused on Bu—there was heat, curiosity, and deep anticipation in their gazes.
Not only the audience present, but even the ten contestants on the Arena turned their gazes toward Bu. Except for a few, some of the lower-ranked participants, such as Fourth Prince Claire and Arand from the seventh Arena, as well as Loret, who was among the Final Four, were all extremely nervous, fearing that Bu's challenge would be directed at them.
When misfortune strikes, even drinking cold water can lead to choking. For Loret at this moment, he undoubtedly felt like one of the most unfortunate. Just when he was worried about what might come, Bu looked at him with a smile that seemed both inviting and mocking, causing his heart to skip a beat and his face to stiffen.
"I should first take back what belongs to me; as for what comes next..." Bu Qing smiled, his gaze landing on Loret before casting a disdainful glance at Gaia. He then turned to Elena and said, "Now, I intend to challenge Loret."
As soon as Bu finished speaking, although Loret had somewhat anticipated this, he still felt darkness clouding his vision and inwardly lamented his fate. Feeling Bu's provocative gaze, Gaia's expression darkened as he stared coldly at Bu, sneering inwardly.
In the arena, both Claire and Arand breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed fortunate that Bu did not choose them as targets. At this critical moment in the rankings, even though Claire harbored deep resentment toward Bu, he did not want to gamble with his future.
He assessed that his chances of winning against Bu would not exceed twenty percent, and even that was only if he used all his means. He simply wanted to conserve his strength and firmly hold onto his fifth position, seeking no merit but hoping to avoid mistakes.
As for challenging upward, he initially aimed to target Loret since Loret was relatively weaker but carried seventy points due to being in the Final Four. Defeating him would mean a significant leap in rank. However, now that this target had been snatched away by Bu, he decided not to dwell on it any longer.
"The challenge is valid; proceed to the stage for the duel." Elena cast a meaningful glance at Bu. The intensity in her gaze made Bu's face flush with heat. Without hesitation, he leaped into action and swiftly moved from the eighth Arena to the Arena where Loret was located.
The battle was about to begin!
