For Lin Moyu, it made no difference whether his opponent was a peak 3rd tier Transcendent God or even a 4th tier Transcendent God—they would all be killed instantly.
Against opponents of the same cultivation realm, Lin Moyu had never feared anyone. Every battle ended in an effortless one-shot.
Even enemies one or two tiers above him fared no better.
[First match: victory.]
[The second match will begin in three minutes. Please wait.]
[Current accumulated reward: 100 points.]
The first match awarded 100 points, exactly the same as a regular match mission.
How many points would the second match be worth?
Since the next opponent would be stronger, the reward should logically increase as well.
A hint of anticipation appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes. Perhaps today would prove to be exceptionally profitable.
Soon, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Lin Moyu paused in surprise, "Why are you...?"
His opponent was still Zhuang Bi.
The person hadn't changed, but his cultivation had.
This time, he had reached the 4th tier Transcendent God realm.
A smug grin spread across Zhuang Bi's face, "So what if it's me? You only won because I underestimated you. Let's see how you survive after I crush you this time."
Lin Moyu let out a sigh, "Fine."
He could already predict exactly how this battle would end.
At the same time, he grew curious.
The Human Emperor Arena didn't seem to select opponents who were actually completing missions.
Thinking about it, that made perfect sense.
If two mission participants were matched against each other, one of them would inevitably receive only ten points, which clearly wasn't the system's intended purpose.
The human race's goal was raising talents, not nurturing internal competition.
Competition was important, but not at this stage.
These cultivators had only just reached the Transcendent God realm.
They weren't even qualified to serve as cannon fodder on the true battlefield.
Their priority was growth, not eliminating one another.
As the countdown reached zero, dazzling light burst from Zhuang Bi's body.
He charged forward at even greater speed than before.
Five-colored light converged around him, forming a complete suit of armor.
Lin Moyu tapped the air with his finger twice.
Fused law art: Time Curse.
Star-grade law art: Undead Gaze.
A crimson glow engulfed the arena, and a gigantic Undead Eye materialized overhead.
Zhuang Bi let out a muffled groan.
His lightning-fast charge came to an abrupt halt before he was violently thrown to the ground.
A chilling wind swept across the arena as the Undead Eye locked firmly onto him.
The next instant, his figure disappeared from the arena.
The Human Emperor Network had judged him dead once again.
[Second match: victory.]
[The third match will begin in three minutes. Please wait.]
[Current accumulated reward: 300 points.]
Seeing the notification, Lin Moyu smiled faintly.
"So it increased by 200 points."
"One hundred for the first match, two hundred for the second... I wonder whether the third victory will be worth three hundred or four hundred points."
"If it's four hundred, raising my authority will become much faster." A trace of excitement flashed across his eyes.
His ability to fight above his cultivation realm wasn't limited to just two tiers.
If things continued like this, today's gains would be enormous.
As the arena's sole spectator, Ren Qiang was once again left speechless.
"That was far too easy..."
He already knew Lin Moyu possessed the ability to fight beyond his realm.
After all, he had effortlessly annihilated the Shadowgnats.
But he had never imagined Lin Moyu would be this powerful.
"This was a cross-realm battle. A 3rd tier Transcendent God defeated a 4th tier Transcendent God without taking a single step. He merely pointed with his finger, and the fight was over."
Having witnessed the entire exchange firsthand, Ren Qiang found Lin Moyu increasingly unfathomable.
Suppressing his astonishment, he focused on the arena once more.
Moments later, the next opponent appeared.
It was Zhuang Bi again.
This time, the aura surrounding him belonged to the 5th tier Transcendent God realm.
Lin Moyu studied him quietly, "My guess was right. He's been suppressing his cultivation realm all along."
"Even so, his law mastery was far superior to that of someone at the same realm."
"If he fought ordinary cultivators, few opponents could defeat him unless they also possessed the ability to fight above their realm."
"No wonder he was so arrogant, talking about crushing newcomers."
"To someone who has long since reached the Transcendent God realm, newly advanced Transcendent Gods really do look like rookies."
"Unfortunately for him… he happened to run into me."
Lin Moyu had already pieced together most of the situation.
Zhuang Bi returned once more, his expression filled with anger and embarrassment, "Brat, I won't lose this time. Prepare to die!"
Lin Moyu gave a soft sigh, "We'll see."
The third match began.
Zhuang Bi let out a furious roar, and brilliant light erupted from his entire body.
The armor was similar to the one he had used before, but this time, it was clearly more powerful.
Zhuang Bi shouted, "Starting from the 5th tier Transcendent God realm, my five-colored armor gains soul defense! Your attacks can no longer harm me!"
Lin Moyu remained silent. He simply pointed with his finger.
Star-grade law art: Bone Prison!
Four-star law art linkage: Bone Spear, Bone Fangs, Bone Prison, and Bone Armor!
Lin Moyu controlled the law arts with precision, casting Bone Armor on himself while directing the other three toward Zhuang Bi.
White bones instantly materialized around Zhuang Bi, forming a prison that sealed him in.
With Lin Moyu's 3rd tier Transcendent God realm strength, locking down a 5th tier Transcendent God using Bone Prison posed no difficulty at all.
Zhuang Bi's body froze instantly. He was completely paralyzed, unable to move even a finger.
The next moment, Bone Fangs and Bone Spear erupted simultaneously.
A devastating barrage tore into him.
Brilliant white light flashed as the five-colored armor shattered with a thunderous crash.
Zhuang Bi's body was battered nearly to pieces.
Ren Qiang watched in stunned silence as countless holes of varying sizes appeared across Zhuang Bi's body, transforming him into a human honeycomb in an instant.
Zhuang Bi's eyes widened in disbelief.
The overwhelming pain from his shattered body was agonizing.
The Human Emperor Network did not merely reproduce visual sensations; it simulated every physical sense as well.
Within the Human Emperor Network, the experience was virtually indistinguishable from reality.
Yet even such a devastating attack was still unable to kill Zhuang Bi.
Brilliant light erupted from his body once more as his aura surged upward.
The white bones imprisoning him began to crack, large fissures spreading rapidly across Bone Prison.
Seeing that Zhuang Bi was about to break free, Lin Moyu calmly tapped the air with his finger several times.
Bone Prison instantly reinforced itself.
The next moment, Zhuang Bi's body was torn apart amid a burst of white light.
Ren Qiang muttered, "Too strong... He didn't even take a single step."
For three consecutive matches, Lin Moyu had not moved an inch.
And in every match, Zhuang Bi had been killed in the most humiliating manner possible.
The third match had at least been slightly better for him.
He had managed to struggle and retaliate somewhat, unlike the first two matches, where he had been killed instantly.
[Third match: victory.]
[The fourth match will begin in three minutes. Please wait.]
[Current accumulated reward: 700 points.]
Seeing the notification, Lin Moyu clenched his fist, a flash of excitement crossing his eyes.
"400 points. Excellent."
"Does that mean the next match will reward me with 800 points?"
"If it continues like this, three more victories will be enough to upgrade my authority to level 3."
If his prediction was correct, the next three matches would reward him with 800, 1,600, and 3,200 points respectively.
Including the points he had already earned, that would bring his total to 6,300 points.
That would be more than enough to raise his authority to level 3.
With level 3 authority, he would gain access to a much larger area of activity and far more missions.
However, if the progression continued according to this pattern, by then his opponent would likely be an 8th tier Transcendent God.
That would not be an easy opponent to deal with.
"I'll only know once I fight!" Battle intent surged in Lin Moyu's eyes.
