Was that shameless? Not in the slightest!

The Dwarfs' height was commonly known as their fourth Innate Ability. It was precisely because they were too small that it made them too difficult to find. In a battle, their opponents were the ones who suffered.

Of course, height was neither an absolute advantage nor an absolute disadvantage. Li Yi used the Dwarf's height to leap over his head in the rain and mist, making it so that he could not react in time. If it were a player from any other race, he would not be able to achieve that with the height of his jumps.

He had 2,200 Battlefield Points now. A translucent virtual ranking board appeared before Li Yi. Now that his points had met the mark, he had entered the rankings!

The Arena Point Rankings did not reveal the players' names, only their classes, and their current positions. This was to prevent players from cheating when away from the arena by using other methods to attack the higher-ranked players.

[276,543rd place, Class: Archer.] This was Li Yi's current rank.

[Do you want to continue to battle?]

When he received the system notification, Li Yi chose [No] and did not continue to fight.

Sure, consecutive victories would award extra points, but if he ignored everything else and just continued challenging others, the enemies he faced later would only grow stronger and stronger. According to his experience from the past life, after defeating Hagath, he would only be able to go through one more match before he would be forced to stop. Otherwise, there was at least a 90% chance that he would encounter the Battlefield Pulverizer, Bonecrusher Sark.

No matter what level the player was, Bonecrusher Sark would always be 20 levels higher than the player. It was true that Li Yi had more than decent equipment, but if he went up against Bonecrusher Sark, his victory would be far from assured.

If he took a break now and joined the queue again later, he would be able to avoid Bonecrusher Sark.

The positions on the virtual ranking board kept changing. Li Yi's rank would rise and fall abruptly because some players would lose and have their points deducted, while others would win and continue to climb the ranks.

There was a flash of white light before his eyes. Li Yi was teleported out of the Mirror Arena and returned to Blade Peak.

Whenever a player battled, they would be taken to the Mirror map. This was to prevent other players from interfering. Only the annual grand finals would be held at the arena of the Blade Peak map.

When a player was not battling in the arena, they could choose [Select] or [Random Browse] to watch other players' battles and kill time.

"Random Browse!"

Li Yi made his choice. There was another flash of white light and he was sent into the Mirror map. His body disappeared temporarily, and his point of view became the third person POV. He could choose whatever viewing angle he liked. In the air, from the ground, following the character—the only thing was that his location was fixed.


As fate would have it, the first battle Li Yi saw in his [Random Browse] was Unending Unmatched's battle with another player.

"Block! Shield Strike! Double Retaliation! Double Retaliation! Double Retaliation!"

Unending Unmatched used a combo of skills and immediately took down his opponent. The effects of the Blood Lord Equipment Set were truly terrifying.

"Select Follow!" Li Yi used a Gold Coin, choosing to follow Unending Unmatched and watch his battles.

He was the second of the top 10 main tanks in the past life, and he was also one of the very few God-tier players. Only his battles could pique Li Yi's interest.

The location changed, and a new player appeared before Unending Unmatched. It was an Earth Vagabond dressed in white armor and wielding two swords.

Li Yi gave the person a glance and realized that he knew him. It was another familiar face—War God Clan's chief main tank, Out of Print.

This was going to be good. Li Yi was overjoyed.

An Earth Vagabond main tank was a lot more fragile than a Warrior or Paladin main tank, for very simple reasons. Earth Vagabonds could not equip shields or use Block to reduce damage. However, Earth Vagabonds were not completely useless, either. They also had a specialty, the Level 40 skill, Deflect. Its effect was to use the player's sword to deflect the enemy's attack and reduce the damage taken.

Deflect was even more skill-intensive than Block. The capability of an Earth Vagabond main tank depended wholly on how well they could use this move. It just so happened that Out of Print was the best at using Deflect.

Unending Unmatched was skilled at using Block, while Out of Print excelled at Deflect. A battle between the two of them would surely be exceptionally fascinating.

The two of them crossed swords. Unending Unmatched did not use Charge to dash forward. Instead, he ran up to Out of Print with his own two legs and began a battle of skills.

Out of Print swung down his twin swords, and Unending Unmatched raised his shield to Block. Unending Unmatched slashed down with his sword, and Out of Print crossed his twin swords, Deflecting Unending Unmatched's sword.

The battle between the two main tanks relied completely on skill. It all depended on who could use their damage reduction skills with better timing, or who could find the opponent's opening in order to launch a fierce attack.

"Earth's Judgment!"

After the two of them exchanged several dozen moves and had both lost half of their HP. Out of Print finally lost his patience. As he raised his twin swords high above his head, a yellow aura surrounded his blades, and he used the Earth Vagabond's ultimate guard break skill, Earth's Judgment.

The skill's channeling time was one second. It ignored the target's DEF and could not be blocked. There was a 10% Crit Rate. If the hit landed, the target would be rendered Dizzy for 5 seconds. That was the power of Earth's Judgment.

Before Out of Print could complete his Earth's Judgment. Unending Unmatched pushed his shield forward and interrupted the skill. "Shield Strike!" Out of Print was sent sprawling. Unending Unmatched charged forward and swung his shield, using Double Retaliation.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two hits of Double Retaliation made contact and Out of Print laid flat on the floor in defeat. Just then, Unending Unmatched's HP recovered, returning to more than 50%.

'Too impatient.'

Li Yi sighed slightly.

In terms of overall ability, Out of Print was not that much weaker than Unending Unmatched. If he had not been so impatient and had slowly grinded it out instead, it would be much harder to decide the victor.

Out of Print was down. Unending Unmatched chose to continue, and another opponent appeared before him.

Slinging a greataxe across his shoulder, wearing a blue Wizard's robe, with a contemptuous look on his ugly mug and a bright red name above his head, it was—Scumbag Wang!

"F*ck, why is it you again!" The moment Scumbag Wang saw Unending Unmatched, he was instantly stupefied. He had already bumped into Unending Unmatched five times before this, and the results… went without saying.

"Why don't you give me this match for once?" Scumbag Wang weighed the greataxe in his hand and gave Unending Unmatched a smile.

"Give up now or start fighting. Cut the crap," said Unending Unmatched mildly.

Scumbag Wang suddenly pointed at a spot behind Unending Unmatched and screamed, "Your ma's here to pull the WiFi plug on you!"

Taking advantage of Unending Unmatched's second of confusion, Scumbag Wang used Charge to dash forth. The greataxe in his hand flipped and flew. He cut and slashed madly, all the while yelling, "Acting cool, my *ass! Acting cool, my f*cking *ss…"

Unending Unmatched lost 400HP to him before he recovered. The former hurriedly used Block and then brought the fight back to his own terms. After two or three slashes, Scumbag Wang was already stumbling. His HP had been reduced by half, and he was just about to hit the ground.

"Stop!" Scumbag Wang leaped backward and waved his hand at Unending Unmatched.

"If you want to fight, make it snappy! This is my first time meeting someone like you!" Unending Unmatched flew into a rage.

"Hehe, whoever beats me is my grandson. If you wanna be my grandson, be my guest and beat me up," yelled Scumbag Wang at Unending Unmatched as he threw the greataxe over his shoulder.

"F*ck you!" Unending Unmatched was so angry that his face turned green.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! I can't beat you, so I'll make you gag to death! That way you'll never forget mwah. Ptooey! Ptooey! Haaak-ptoeey!"

It was not over yet. When Scumbag Wang saw that he would never be able to defeat Unending Unmatched, he actually started to play dirty, literally. He just kept spitting at Unending Unmatched, such that the latter was almost angry enough to throttle him to death.

"If you beat me, you're my grandkid, grandkid, grandkid! Ptooey ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

Unending Unmatched was so furious that his entire body shook. Finally, he stomped his foot and chose to surrender the match, leaving the area…

"Consider it my bad fortune that I encountered a piece of scum like you!" Before he was sent away, Unending Unmatched gave him those words.

Li Yi was stunned, his jaw falling open. If someone could be this scummy, could it… Could it also f*cking be a type of true power?

[Your next opponent is—Bonecrusher Sark!]

The shout pulled Li Yi back to his senses. The moment he saw the opponent before Unending Unmatched, he shook his head.

Unending Unmatched admitted defeat over a few of Scumbag Wang's words, and then he drew Bonecrusher Sark as his next opponent. No matter how strong he was, he was going to bow out here, huh?

Unending Unmatched collected his thoughts and proceeded to run at Bonecrusher Sark, neither too quickly nor too slowly.

"Accept the judgment of death! I am the orcs' number one warrior, Bonecrusher Sark!"

Sark howled and rushed up to Unending Unmatched, swinging the greataxe in his hand fiercely.

"Block!"

Unending Unmatched reacted quickly and brought up his shield. There was an extremely loud "clang!", and [−3,000] in damage appeared above Unending Unmatched's head. Sark stomped one foot onto the ground and the shockwaves spread from beneath his foot. They hit Unending Unmatched instantly and made him Dizzy.

"Sweep!"

The greataxe swept past like a hurricane. Unending Unmatched was utterly defenseless. Upon taking a spectacular [−30,000] in damage, he was instantly killed.

"Weak human, how could you defeat the powerful orc?" Bonecrusher Sark shook his head contemptuously and walked away, carrying his greataxe.

Two consecutive losses meant that he lost 200 Battlefield Points. Unending Unmatched's rank immediately fell beneath the 10,000 mark.

Li Yi did not continue watching. Instead, he left Browse mode and went to register for battle.

Bonecrusher Sark had just left the battle. If he joined the Arena now, the chances of encountering him were much lower. Besides, as long as Li Yi did not encounter that orc NPC, everything else was basically no problem to him.

Li Yi only waited for 3 minutes before he was sent into the Mirror. An Archer stood before him. It was Xiao Changfeng again.

"Superstar, what a coincidence." Xiao Changfeng forced a smile at Li Yi. His smile was not pleasant at all because he knew perfectly well that he was no match for Li Yi.

Li Yi had no affection for him whatsoever, so he ignored him completely and began his attack.

"No need for that, I admit defeat." Xiao Changfeng waved at Li Yi and surrendered, leaving the arena.

Now that he was already in the Mirror map, the system was much faster in arranging an opponent for him. As soon as Xiao Changfeng left, another opponent appeared before Li Yi.

"F*ck, Guild Master! Why's it you?" Before Li Yi could say anything, the opponent before him began to rant.

It was a male Dark Elf Thief. This was yet another familiar face, Little Drunk Cat's number one intelligence officer, Shen Lang.

"Aye, I just managed to get 2,000 points, too. If I lose this time, I'll have to go back to mucking around the Newbie section." Shen Lang was extremely frustrated.

Li Yi chuckled and chose [Admit Defeat] directly, giving Shen Lang the win.

"What are you doing, Guild Master? I'm not asking you to give the match. I'm just here to mess around, I never thought of placing high in the rankings. Sigh, you…" Shen Lang sent Li Yi a voice message.

"It doesn't really matter, I'm already out anyway."

"Sigh, this is…" Shen Lang still felt bad.

"Oh, yeah, there's a favor I want to ask of you. Help me investigate someone."

"Guild Master, don't talk about favors with me! If it weren't for you, I'd still be running from Yang Xingchen and his sunnavabitches, even now. Just tell me if anything's bothering you, and as long as I can help, I'll put my all into it!"

"Investigate a woman called Wind-on-Snow for me. I want to know every last detail about this person!"
