Chapter 546 - 362: Hundred Battles Secret Order (2)

Chapter 546: Chapter 362: Hundred Battles Secret Order (2)

Wang Yi looked at the Battle Banner. As expected, it had Attribute Information, and the rewards for victory and defeat matched what Lu Wuming had said.

The so-called top secret was actually a scroll called the [Hundred Battles Secret Order]. If Wang Yi accepted the challenge, he would first have to wager one million Star Yuan. The Secret Order Scroll would also be wagered, and in the end, both the Star Yuan and the Scroll would go to the victor.

"Then let’s fight!"

Wang Yi reached out and touched the Battle Banner. He quickly received a system notification that one million Star Yuan had been temporarily deducted. At the same time, the scenery before him blurred, and he entered a Battle Realm.

This Battle Realm was completely empty. Lu Wuming stood opposite Wang Yi. He immediately slapped his forehead, and his body was instantly coated in a layer of gold, as if he had become a golden man.

"I was careless last time and was inexplicably defeated by you. This time, I’ve used the Golden Body Spell right from the start! My golden body is indestructible! With an invincible defense, I’m already in an unbeatable position. Let’s see what you can do now!"

Lu Wuming laughed, looking as if his cunning plan had succeeded.

’Golden Body Spell? Is that what you’re relying on?’

Wang Yi, however, was unconcerned. He took out his Cyan Blade Sword and said, "Come on, make your move!"

"Watch my Sword Skill!"

Lu Wuming didn’t delay. He produced two pitch-black daggers, holding them in a reverse grip. His body flickered, moving like a streak of light, and he instantly appeared in front of Wang Yi.

He raised the two daggers high, like the sharp fangs of a Giant Beast glinting with a cold light, about to bite down and devour Wang Yi!

But before the daggers could strike Wang Yi, there was a loud CLANG. Lu Wuming was sent flying backward like a cannonball, even faster than his forward charge.

The layer of golden light around his body instantly dispersed, shattered.

"Huh?" Lu Wuming was horrified. "My Golden Body Spell was broken? How is that possible? What did you do?"

Wang Yi was also slightly surprised. He had just used Thunder Slash, a sword strike completed in a hundred-thousandth of a second. He was wielding the Cyan Blade Sword, which was forged from Eternal Immortal Gold and weighed 121,500 jin, yet it had only managed to break Lu Wuming’s Golden Body Spell without causing any further damage.

"Your Golden Body Spell is quite impressive, but unfortunately for you, you picked the wrong opponent!"

Not wanting to waste any more time, Wang Yi deployed another technique. He flipped his right hand, and a small, five-colored mountain three zhang tall materialized in mid-air. It pulsed with the complete Power of the Five Elements, its might astonishing.

Lu Wuming’s eyes shot wide open, and a chill ran down his spine.

’This is bad! I can’t withstand that mountain. I definitely can’t take it head-on. What do I do? Dodge?’

Lu Wuming was a veteran of countless battles. His thoughts raced. He had no time to ponder how his opponent had broken the Golden Body Spell. His body flickered and he moved at his top speed—not away, but closer to Wang Yi.

Even now, his mind was still set on close-quarters combat.

This was a combat instinct and style forged through long-term fighting. He believed that retreating wasn’t necessarily safe; only by getting in close for an assassination could he hope to survive this perilous situation.

His class was Black Tooth Sword Saint, and his understanding of it was to thrust at close range, deciding life and death in an instant, within inches!

That was why he used two daggers instead of a Longsword!

Unfortunately for him, he was facing a monster when it came to stats.

Wang Yi stood motionless. He had cultivated the Mountain and River Body Refining, was protected by Dragon Qi Body Protection, and was an Ice Soul True Monarch. His Physique was so formidable that Lu Wuming’s two small daggers couldn’t possibly harm him.

Faced with Lu Wuming’s fierce close-range assault, Wang Yi didn’t bother with counters or parries. He took a large step forward as clouds appeared beneath his feet. He stepped into the void, riding the clouds upward, and shouted, "Om Mani Padme Hum!"

The Six-Character Mantra, the Demon Suppression Spell!

Lu Wuming suddenly felt the space around him freeze, trapping him within it, unable to move.

’It’s over. I’m a dead man!’

A sudden realization dawned on Lu Wuming, but he had no time for further thoughts as his vision was swiftly engulfed by darkness.

The small, five-colored mountain had landed!

BOOM! Lu Wuming was crushed completely, dying a gruesome death on the spot.

"Ding! Your opponent has been defeated. The battle is over. The battle contract has been fulfilled, and your deposit has been returned. Congratulations, you have obtained the [Hundred Battles Secret Order]."

Wang Yi heard the system notification as he was teleported back to the Windbreak Cliff station. One million Star Yuan were automatically returned to his Chaos Realm, and the [Hundred Battles Secret Order] appeared before him, which he took with a raised hand.

As for Lu Wuming, a loss in a contract battle was still a loss. His battle record was wiped clean again, and he was no longer at the station, having been forcibly sent back to Windless Cliff.

’This guy... what a good person. Utterly selfless and dedicated to helping others...’

A smile spread across Wang Yi’s face as he opened the Scroll in his hand, curious to see what top-secret information was worth one million Star Yuan.

The [Hundred Battles Secret Order] was not a functional item, just an ordinary Scroll filled with a large amount of text.

According to the text, Hundred Battle Mountain was originally part of the Fourth Ark. To be specific, it was a Trial Ground within the Fourth Ark that broke away due to an unknown cataclysm, becoming a special Secret Realm.

At the peak of Hundred Battle Mountain stood a Soul Altar. Upon reaching it, this [Hundred Battles Secret Order] Scroll would be activated. Using it at that time would briefly open the Soul Altar, allowing one to obtain a Secret Treasure from within.

This was likely why Lu Wuming had said the Scroll was worth a million Star Yuan.

Additionally, the Secret Order Scroll also mentioned the Sealing Sacred Domain.

The Sealing Sacred Domain was also famous in the starry sky of the third dimension. For a Royal Court to ascend to a Divine Country and rise to the Fifth Dimension, not only did it need to clear Hundred Battle Mountain, but it also had to perform a grand sealing ceremony in the Sealing Sacred Domain.

And according to the description in the secret order, the Sealing Sacred Domain was also a part of the Fourth Ark—its core control room!

The secret order recorded that if the three parts were to reunite, the Fourth Ark would regain its functionality. However, reuniting them would require triggering a large-scale public quest. The order didn’t describe how to trigger that quest, stating that it likely required someone with a strong affinity to fate.

’The Fourth Ark, Hundred Battle Mountain, and the Sealing Sacred Domain were originally one whole! If the three reunite, the Fourth Ark will regain its functions... What kind of functions would those be?’

Wang Yi couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. He had been to the Fourth Ark and seen its magnificence with his own eyes. It contained countless stars; calling it a galaxy would be no exaggeration. He truly couldn’t fathom what functions such a majestic ark could possess.

’Forget it. I can’t get my hopes up for that large-scale public quest. Idle daydreaming is useless. I should just take this Secret Order Scroll to the Soul Altar at the summit. Getting a Secret Treasure wouldn’t be bad at all!’

Wang Yi carefully put away the Secret Order Scroll. Then, with a thought, he flipped his palm, and a Great Seal appeared on it.

This was the [Hundred Battles Treasure] he had taken from his Chaos Warehouse.

’So it really is a Hundred Battles Secret Treasure. With this, if I run into any more provocative Players, I can initiate a contract before we fight. It’ll be a good way to get some spoils of war!’

Wang Yi mused to himself as he put away the [Hundred Battles Treasure]. He took a sip of tea and waited quietly for Mingyu Divine Lord and Emperor Tathagata to appear.

Of course, he didn’t just wait idly. He soon took out some Chaos Blind Boxes to open for fun and occasionally chatted with some friendly-looking Players, gathering information about Windbreak Cliff.

All in all, Wang Yi looked quite content.

Meanwhile, back on Windless Cliff, Lu Wuming, his battle record wiped clean once again, was feeling miserable.

"Dammit, I lost again? Why do I feel like such an idiot pig? Was that just me shooting myself in the foot?"

Lu Wuming slapped himself across the face, but he quickly got up, pulled himself together, and started fighting again.

On Hundred Battle Mountain, there was never a shortage of Players starting over from the beginning.

There was no other way. To leave, they had no choice but to start over!

In truth, many Players regretted coming to Hundred Battle Mountain, and Lu Wuming was one of them. Before he met Wang Yi, everything had been smooth sailing for him. But after meeting Wang Yi, he had been killed twice in two encounters. He thought to himself that he really shouldn’t have provoked that guy.

Back at the Windbreak Cliff station, Wang Yi waited for the better part of half a day, opening over two thousand Chaos Blind Boxes before he finally saw Mingyu Divine Lord.

"My tea has gone cold. What took you so long?" Wang Yi rose to greet her. "And that rascal Emperor Tathagata isn’t even here yet!"

Mingyu Divine Lord said, "He won’t be able to come for a while."

"Oh? What happened?"

"He was beaten and sent back to Windless Cliff!"
