Chapter 532: Chapter 330: Are You Looking for Me?

At the same time.

The entire spectator space for World No. 13, the Giantwood World, fell into an eerie silence.

Then, like a long-suppressed volcano finally erupting...

The area holding the spectators from the Lain Empire was instantly drowned in a deafening wave of cheers and shouts!

"AHHHH!!! Li Wen! It’s Li Wen! I knew he could do it!!!" someone shouted, leaping to their feet in excitement.

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?! An instant kill! Four Saint Realm experts! And one of them was a top-1000 master! Li Wen wiped them out as if he were slicing through vegetables!!"

Someone incoherently grabbed the person next to them and yelled.

"Hahaha! In your face! So satisfying! Absolutely satisfying! Where are all those Tyrone dogs who were mocking Li Wen for hiding, saying he was at the bottom of the rankings? Come on out! How’s that for a slap in the face?!"

"The strength of an internal member of the Source Net is beyond what you clueless frogs in a well could ever imagine! Long live Lain! Li Wen is invincible!"

On the virtual viewing platform, the spectators from the Tyrone Empire who had been wildly mocking Li Wen were now collectively speechless.

They stared at the figure on the screen, standing with his blade in hand, looking like a god or a demon.

As they watched Li Wen’s name rocket up the leaderboard, their faces turned deathly pale and their eyes went dull, as if their very souls had been ripped out.

One of them muttered, "Impossible... This is impossible... How could he instantly kill Carlos? He was a top-1000 expert..." His words echoed the thoughts of countless others.

Li Wen’s name, like the most dazzling star,

suddenly blazed to life on the leaderboards of World No. 13 and the entire Alka District tournament.

In an instant, he became the absolute focus of billions of eyes!

But back in the Giantwood World, Li Wen acted as if he had just done something trivial, slowly sheathing his long blade.

His divine sense, far from retracting, expanded once more, its coverage even vaster than before.

"The warm-up is over," he murmured, then took a step and vanished from the screen.

The real hunt—the hunt of the strong—had only just begun!

...

The automated broadcast feed dimmed as Li Wen’s figure disappeared.

It melted back into the countless unwatched corners of the Giantwood World.

The slaughter in World No. 13 continued.

...

The area of World No. 13 wasn’t particularly vast.

It was only a tenth of the size of Blue Star.

For beings at the Saint Realm, let alone the Star Lord Level, circling the entire world at full speed wouldn’t take much time at all.

And right now, Li Wen was pushing his speed to the absolute limit.

His divine sense spread out like an invisible net, covering a vast area along his path.

His goal was crystal clear: the rankings.

He made no distinction between empire, gender, or strength.

Anyone who appeared within the range of his divine sense was just another number for his scorebook.

This pure, efficient slaughter pushed his score to over eighty-five million in just three days.

His rank also skyrocketed to third place in World No. 13.

[Contestant: Li Wen]

[Score: 85,468,751]

[Rank: 3]

The Lain Empire’s spectator space had long since been in an uproar.

Every time the automated broadcast system caught a fleeting glimpse of Li Wen,

even if it was just a blurry silhouette or the flash of a blade from an instant kill, it would trigger a deafening explosion of cheers and applause.

To them, Li Wen wasn’t just the pride of the empire; he was the banner upon which they pinned their faith.

Every time he climbed the ranks, the people of Lain stood a little taller.

In the spectator area of the Tyrone Empire, however, this fervor provoked a completely different and more complex set of emotions.

Shock, apprehension, jealousy, and a trace of suppressed resentment.

These feelings grew even more delicate as Li Wen’s rank continued to climb, closing in on their empire’s pride—Sheng Mos, ranked second.

...

At that moment, Li Wen stood atop the tallest building in a ruined city, looking down at the sprawling rubble and wreckage below.

He glanced at his score and rank, his brow furrowing slightly.

’Third... I wonder where that puts me in the overall rankings for all one thousand worlds,’ he muttered to himself.

The rules limited his view to his current world’s rankings and his total score.

He had no way of knowing his specific position among the thousand worlds of the Alka District.

’But... it doesn’t matter. If I keep killing, my rank will naturally rise. After three days of observation, it seems each world has only one strongest contender. In this World No. 13, is the strongest that Nash, or Sheng Mos?’

With a flicker of his will, the real-time leaderboard for World No. 13 appeared before him:

[Rank 1: Nash (Kasa Empire); Score: 94,524,854]

[Rank 2: Sheng Mos (Tyrone Empire); Score: 92,542,648]

[Rank 3: Li Wen (Source Net Internal*, Lain Empire); Score: 85,468,751]

...

’A shame I haven’t run into either of them yet.’ A sharp glint flashed in Li Wen’s eyes as he closed the leaderboard.

His figure seemed to melt into the shadows, vanishing from the top of the skyscraper in an instant, leaving only a rush of air disturbed by his high-speed movement.

...

Almost at the exact moment Li Wen disappeared, several thousand kilometers away in the direction he was headed, there was a canyon overgrown with massive, twisted vines.

The air seemed to freeze, thick with killing intent.

Sheng Mos, tall and broad with a menacing, dark red flame tattoo on his forehead, stood proudly atop a massive boulder.

He casually rested a dark gold scimitar on his shoulder, its edge glinting with a cold, sinister light.

His gaze, filled with undisguised aggression and a hint of mockery, was locked onto a somewhat disheveled figure below.

It was a man of average build, holding a thick-backed broadsword.

The man’s name was Harun, ranked 15th in World No. 13, and his strength was not to be underestimated.
