Chapter 545 - 362: Hundred Battles Secret Order

Chapter 545: Chapter 362: Hundred Battles Secret Order

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Yi had spent seven days on Gale Cliff in the Hundred Battle Mountain. During that time, he’d achieved a four-battle winning streak, though he had fought a total of twenty-six battles.

He had won all twenty-six of those battles. Twenty of them were Battle Banner challenges, and of those twenty, sixteen offered no system rewards. Wang Yi fought them purely out of interest.

Besides, wherever there are people, there is conflict, and where there’s conflict, there are grudges. Wang Yi had tried his best to keep a low profile, even hiding his true level to avoid provoking other Players, but some clueless Players always came looking for a fight.

Thus, six of those twenty-six battles were not Battle Banner challenges, but direct conflicts with other Players, all of which he won.

Notably, as a Celestial Covering Chessmaster, Wang Yi had conducted all six of these fights against other Players within his Battle Banner Realm.

He discovered that the Battle Banner Realm could not capture the souls of Players on the Hundred Battle Mountain. The Players he killed didn’t turn into Chess Souls. Instead, their battle records were wiped clean, they were sent back to Windless Cliff, and they lost one level. They still couldn’t leave the Hundred Battle Mountain.

Meanwhile, the three Initial Chess Pieces the system had gifted Wang Yi had been automatically unsealed.

Those three chess pieces were Beicang War God Li Xuanjun, Cold Pool Master Zhong Wuya, and Ancient Sacrificial Priest Jiang Wanggong.

To Wang Yi’s pleasant surprise, they had also been resurrected in the Burial Ground on White Bone Mountain in his territory. They kept their classes and skills, but their levels had been reset.

Now, only a single Chess Soul remained in Wang Yi’s Battle Banner Realm: Luo Feng, the Grand Inspector of the Miracle Divine Country and Master of the Yellow Robe.

His level was too high for Wang Yi to use Refinement on him and turn him into a chess piece. Now, he was just a lonely ghost, all alone in the Battle Banner Realm. Whenever Wang Yi fought using the realm, Luo Feng could only act as a spectator and boo from the sidelines.

’As a Celestial Covering Chessmaster, I’m completely out of chess pieces to use. The moment a game begins, I have to step onto the board myself. It’s not so bad, really. It’s just a shame I can’t obtain any Chess Souls on this Hundred Battle Mountain...’

Wang Yi lamented silently. As agreed, he was now heading to the station at Windbreak Cliff!

Windbreak Cliff was the region beyond Gale Mountain. After completing the requisite battles on Gale Mountain, one could proceed to Windbreak Cliff.

A moment later, Wang Yi entered the station. His gaze swept the room, but he didn’t see Mingyu Divine Lord or Emperor Tathagata. His eyes quickly landed on a Player dressed in black.

He recognized the man. It was none other than the Black Tooth Sword Saint, Lu Wuming!

Lu Wuming had clashed with Wang Yi before and had been easily defeated. His seventy-nine-battle winning streak had been erased, he’d been sent back to Windless Cliff, and he’d even dropped three levels.

Wang Yi knew that for Lu Wuming to be here, he must have fought his way back up.

The Black Tooth Sword Saint was drinking, looking rather listless. He sensed Wang Yi’s gaze, turned to look, and immediately froze.

"It’s you! The guy with a hundred billion Star Yuan... You... why’d you change your name? Weren’t you called Tongtian? Why change it to Sun Wukong!"

Lu Wuming shot to his feet, his gaze turning fiery.

Wang Yi was slightly surprised. He had not only forged a new identity but was also wearing a monkey-face mask. He hadn’t expected Lu Wuming to recognize him through all that.

He remained outwardly calm, composedly sitting down at a tea table. He first interfaced with the system to produce three cups of tea, then turned to Lu Wuming. "My friend, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else."

"I’m not mistaken!" Lu Wuming said firmly. "I’m very good at remembering people. It’s you. I have no idea how I lost our last fight. Do you dare to go another round?"

Wang Yi shook his head. "There’s no point in fighting. Let’s just forget about it, shall we?"

But Lu Wuming refused. He stuck his neck out and said, "Forget it? It took me two and a half years to build that seventy-nine-battle winning streak you broke! A hundred billion Star Yuan went up in smoke! How can we just forget it that easily? Come on, let’s fight again, and this time, let’s see what you’ve really got!"

Wang Yi frowned. ’Has this guy been on the Hundred Battle Mountain so long his brain’s gone haywire?’ he thought. ’Isn’t this just a death wish?’

"As I said, this fight is pointless. It’s a waste of time and energy, and there’s no reward. So forgive me, but I can’t be bothered to lift a finger."

"Pointless? Then I’ll make it have a point!"

As he spoke, Lu Wuming took out a large seal. "This is a Hundred Battles Treasure," he continued. "It can be used to create a battle contract. Add a wager to the contract, and the fight will have a point!"

"A Hundred Battles Treasure?"

Wang Yi’s interest was piqued. He had opened a lot of blind boxes recently, depositing many items into his Chaos Warehouse and occasionally taking out the Mysterious Newspaper to check for updates.

He seemed to recall having a Hundred Battles Treasure in his own Chaos Warehouse. He figured Jelena or one of the others must have deposited it, though he had never checked its detailed properties.

"Here’s the deal: we bet Star Yuan. If you lose, you pay me a million Star Yuan. If I lose, I’ll give you a top-secret piece of intel worth a million Star Yuan. What do you say?"

Lu Wuming held the Hundred Battles Treasure in his palm, looking as if he had already won.

"Top-secret intel worth a million Star Yuan?" Wang Yi said with a smile. "How exactly do you calculate that value?"

"Never you mind how. Just know that it’s absolutely reliable. Come on, let’s fight! Don’t be a coward!"

"Fine. As you wish!"

Wang Yi thought, ’Mingyu Divine Lord and Emperor Tathagata haven’t arrived yet anyway. I might as well humor Lu Wuming. It’s not like it’ll take long. The whole thing will be over in a hundred-thousandth of a second.’

Lu Wuming was overjoyed and quickly used the Hundred Battles Treasure.

Soon, his Hundred Battles Treasure transformed into a small Battle Banner. Lu Wuming placed it right in the middle of the station and declared, "The contract is made. Let’s fight!"
