Chapter 12564

Not to mention the others, even Lin Yi suddenly perked up.

However, none of those who have been marked at this moment are ordinary people, especially under the special rules of the track arrival. Even with Lin Yi's strength, he wouldn't dare say that he can easily mow down the grass.

To collect any of the markers, one must go through a series of intrigues and meticulous calculations.

Besides, while you're thinking about someone, they're also thinking about you.

At this moment, everyone finally noticed something was wrong.

"Wait, why wasn't the final boss marked?"

There was an uproar both inside and outside the venue.

The track's performance has made it very clear that anyone with outstanding ability will inevitably be marked.

But the only thing missing is the final boss.

This is someone who is recognized as being on par with the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families!

To say that the track defaults to Killing Saint being stronger than him is understandable, after all, Killing Saint's Ten Thousand Dragons Burning the Heavens move was indeed abnormal.

But to say that anyone else can surpass the Final Monster, or that the Final Monster doesn't even rank in the top 50, is obviously impossible.

"what's the situation?"

The Saint of Slaughter's eyes also held a probing look.

His participation today was partly due to the track rewards; the opportunity to directly earn top-tier gear was truly rare.

But on the other hand, he also came with a mission.

He wanted to personally weigh the old monster's strength!

Looking at the five saints of the aristocratic families, apart from the Emperor Saint, he is the one with the biggest conflict with the Ending Society and the most irreconcilable mortal enemy.

Everyone else could shake hands and make peace with Terminator, but he couldn't.

In any case, he has to do his best to dampen the old monster's momentum today!

But the current scene was truly perplexing to him.

"Could it be that he used some method to evade the track's monitoring?"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Killing Saint felt a chill run down his spine.

No one in Tianjun knows the true nature of the racetrack better than the Five Saints of their aristocratic family. If someone could actually achieve this, anyone would be terrified.

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

The initial surge of energy from the Ten Thousand Dragons Burning the Heavens vanished instantly.

Little did he know that the "final monster" he was looking at was not human at all, and from the track's perspective, there was no need to mark him.

At this moment, it wasn't just Killing Saint who was suspicious; those big shots hiding behind the scenes who were silently watching this scene were also filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Lin Yi chuckled inwardly.

He never imagined that his fellow countrymen's actions in the secular world would create another smokescreen for him.

Faced with these shrewd individuals, relying solely on a single illusion might work in the short term, but it will inevitably be exposed if the timeframe is extended even slightly.

Just like he was wearing two different aliases today.

For ordinary people, this is already irrefutable proof that the End Emperor and the End Monster are the same person, and has been completely overturned.

But in the eyes of those people, it will be brought up again sooner or later.

Now, however, another strange phenomenon has suddenly emerged. These people may still have doubts about this, but one thing is certain: they will be even more uncertain.

In a battle between masters, this uncertainty alone can influence or even determine the balance of victory.

"Since the final boss has no markings, does that mean no one will be willing to take him down?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

Since only collecting markers can increase rewards, those without markers lose their most important value in their eyes.

This is a natural thing.

"You're overthinking it!"

Some scoffed: "Just because the final boss doesn't have any marks now doesn't mean he won't have any in the future. Do you believe that in a little while, he'll have more marks than everyone else?"

The others suddenly realized, "That makes sense."

After all, the track doesn't stipulate that only the fifty people who are marked can collect the markers.

As long as you remain in the arena at this moment, regardless of whether you have been marked or not, at least in theory, you still have a chance to have the last laugh.

As for how to collect markers, someone immediately demonstrated it.

After a roar of resentment, a top second-generation member of a powerful family was eliminated, and his mark was transferred to the head of the Killing Saint.

Seeing this, the thoughts of everyone present immediately became active again.

Judging from this situation, once the marked person is eliminated, their mark will transfer to the person who finishes them off.

In other words, no matter what happens, there will always be fifty markers on the field.

Once everyone else is eliminated, the last remaining winner will collect all fifty tokens and receive the final upgrade reward.

In terms of the final result, whether or not these fifty track markers are present has no substantial impact.

The existence of these markers will inevitably alter the subsequent process.

The most obvious change is the strategy adopted by everyone.

The more marks accumulate on one's head, the more dazzling they become, and the more likely one is to become a target of public criticism.

This is much more direct than Mei Zhixue's shout at the beginning!

To put it simply, the mark is the hate value.

The more marks you have, the higher your hate level.

Conversely, those without track markings above their heads, such as the seemingly invincible "final boss," have gained an advantage.

"Why have these people suddenly become so cautious?"

Some people don't understand it.

Not only challengers with track markings above their heads, but also those without, have all started to adopt a turtle-up strategy.

Since the final reward won't change anyway, instead of collecting markers and attracting fire right from the start, it's better to be a sneaky, lurking camper.

For most people in the room, saving face wasn't important; getting the reward was.

At this moment, Mei Zhixue suddenly spoke up: "If those who haven't been marked want to reap the benefits, then let's clear them out first, and then we'll have an internal showdown."

No one answered.

However, the next actions of everyone clearly showed a tacit understanding.

Including Killing Saint, almost all the combatants marked on the track were now targeting the unmarked challengers.

This put immense pressure on everyone.

With nearly ten players outnumbering one, these unmarked players held an overwhelming advantage.

The problem is that the gap in individual strength is too large.

The fifty or so people who were marked, apart from the final boss in their eyes, were the strongest group of fighters in the entire arena.

Once they reach an agreement, even if the rest of the group works together, they will have little chance of winning.

Moreover, they were leaderless and had no possibility of working together.

The situation quickly became one-sided.

In just a short time, nearly a hundred more people were eliminated.

Lin Yi mingled among them, keeping a low profile and showing no intention of standing out.

Even the final boss wearing the demon mask primarily relies on dodging.
