Chapter 12562

This rule, once introduced, essentially leveled the playing field against each other's weaknesses.

Of course, the gap will not disappear completely.

Top-level experts remain top-level experts and will still have their own advantages, but at least the suspense has been increased.

And this suspense is definitely not small!

It was a complete free-for-all, and apart from the Killing Saint himself, no one could pose a real threat to Lin Yi.

Looking at the current rules, one wrong move could mean being eliminated at any time.

At this moment, the others also realized what was going on and immediately launched probing attacks.

As expected, the result completely verified Lin Yi's prediction.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

An unprecedented mega-battle was about to begin.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of people had been eliminated.

This is only the initial exploratory stage, and it is far from reaching a truly heated stage.

Lin Yi did not act rashly.

While dodging attacks from all directions, they silently observed.

There are several key issues that need to be clarified.

How are attack counts calculated for the track?

For example, if the same move causes secondary damage or subsequent aftershocks, will it remove one layer of protection or two layers of protection?
In addition, under this mechanism, will the evasion effect brought by divine equipment still be effective?

Does the Drunken Arhat still have any effect?

Any one of these points directly affects his combat strength in this chaotic battle, including the final outcome.

Everything must be made clear.

Suddenly, a voice rang out throughout the entire venue.

"If you all want to have the last laugh, you should work together to get rid of the final boss first. Otherwise, if this guy leaves you in the endgame, no one can gain any advantage."

The person who spoke was none other than Mei Zhixue.

As the focus of public opinion, this second disciple of the Supreme Emperor has recently made quite a splash.

However, according to normal logic, even if this person was protected by the Supreme Emperor and wouldn't die instantly after being hit by Shen Mo's cursed killing array, he should still be hiding obediently.

How dare they still show off so ostentatiously?

Little did he know that, given the established order passed down through the lineage of the Supreme Emperor, if Mei Zhixue were to back down, she would truly be close to death.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a moment.

Some people couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't they say that the Ultimate Emperor and the End Monster had teamed up? Why are they fighting each other first?"

"Naive fool, big shots are always scheming and deceitful, how can they be so simple-minded?"

"Exactly, it's all too common for us to openly team up, but secretly stab each other in the back!"

However, some people commented meaningfully, "Are you still doing that silly analysis? Is it possible that the two companies are deliberately putting on a show?"

"Stop pretending to be profound. Are you trying to put on an act for me?"

"Driven by self-interest, each serving their own master, are you addicted to conspiracy theories?"

Immediately, a lot of people refuted this.

What they didn't know was that Mei Zhixue's actions, besides seeking personal gain, actually had this other intention.

Although Shen Mo suffered a considerable loss due to the public opinion incident he orchestrated, he actually achieved his goal in terms of the overall situation.

To deal with the Five Saints of the aristocratic families led by Emperor Saint, it is imperative for the Supreme Emperor lineage and the End Society to join forces. The previous cooperation was just a trial run; the real action will follow.

The more this is the case, the more we must act as if we are irreconcilable enemies in situations like the one right now.

Whether others believe it or not, it at least serves as a smokescreen.

Mei Zhixue's reminder immediately drew everyone's attention to Lin Yi.

To be precise, the focus was on the final boss.

It's not that Mei Zhixue really has a lot of influence, but as he said, if someone of the level of the Ending Monster is really left in the endgame, given the huge difference in their levels, others really have no chance to pick up the scraps from him.

Even though the gap in hard power has been almost completely eliminated due to the track rules.

However, in terms of soft power, the difference remains enormous.

The rules of the track at best only give them the possibility of using sheer numbers; if they get into a one-on-one situation, they might as well give up and go to sleep.

Under Lin Yi's covert manipulation, the old monster's speed was instantly maximized.

His positioning was incredibly tricky.

They managed to evade attacks from all sides!

"Divine speed? Is divine speed really that fast?"

Everyone's eyelids twitched violently.

In the eyes of most people, there is only one level of speed, but little do they know that there is a second level and a third level.

At this moment, the second-gear speed activated by the old monster was a terrifying speed that was absolutely unattainable for them.

To get even a tiny bit of it, you have to rely entirely on luck.

Otherwise, given their offensive capabilities, not only would they have no chance of even getting close to finishing off the old monster, but even ranged attacks like Dharma Explosion wouldn't be able to achieve the most basic lock-on, let alone anything else.

The final boss darted around the arena, occasionally throwing out a Black Star Blast with his backhand.

It's worth mentioning that although Black Star Blast is a ranged attack, it is not a one-time use projectile in the conventional sense, but rather has multiple stages of damage.

Anyone who even slightly touches the edge will immediately have three layers of protection removed.

Three layers of protection may not seem like much at first glance.

But each person only has ten layers of protection in total.

This means that if you get hit by four Black Star explosions, you're guaranteed to be eliminated.

Under Lin Yi's on-the-spot modifications, the overall destructive power of the Black Star Blast remained unchanged, but its average range continued to expand.

After several iterations, the area expanded more than tenfold!
Crucially, it possesses an absolute speed advantage, making it ideal for executing kite tactics in situations like this, especially when combined with Black Star Blast.

Then a strange scene appeared.

A large group of people frantically tried to surround and intercept the old monster, but without exception, they were all left behind. As soon as the number of people behind them increased, they were immediately hit with a Black Star Explosion.

Then continue to use lightning speed to widen the distance.

Once the buildup is complete, unleash another Black Star Explosion on the pursuing crowd.

And so on and on.

If people in the secular world saw this scene, they would definitely find it extremely familiar.

This is clearly the most common monster-luring and clearing technique in games!
So they're treating everyone like monsters in a game?

That's not all; while flying the kite, the old monster would also deliberately wander into crowded areas from time to time.

In this way, it is inevitable that people will accidentally hurt each other.

Of course, it may not necessarily be an accidental injury.

The final boss controlled by Lin Yi was a thorn in their side, but weren't they also thorns in each other's side? They wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of the situation to eliminate a few more; they'd be more than happy to do so. (End of Chapter)
