Monster Paradise

Lin Huang calculated the possible scores, following the point system.

Winning ten battles would mean 10 x 2 = 20 points.

Winning 20 battles would mean (20 + 10) x 2 = 60 points.

Winning 30 battles would mean (60 + 10) x 2 = 140 points.

…

With his calculation of the double points, he would have to win 90 consecutive battles to accumulate more than 10,000 points. A single draw would not be allowed as it would stop the double points and he would have to start all over again.

The mode of battle was chosen randomly and the more winning streaks he got, the more points he accumulated. It also meant opponents were more powerful as time went on. Towards the end, the winning streak would be a lot harder to keep.

After looking at the rules for one last time and making sure that he did not miss anything, Lin Huang proceeded to press the challenge button.

”Player Sword Genius has successfully applied to the challenge. According to your level, which is silver-level rank-3. You will be sent to the sixth floor”

Within seconds, Lin Huang was sent to the sixth floor of the arena. There were fewer people on this floor but it was still crowded.

”Player Sword Genius, you currently have zero points. Please wait while the system randomly matches you to your opponent… Opponent found!”

”Players can choose not to reveal their real face with a mask challenge. You can also choose to battle without a mask. Please make your selection now!”

Lin Huang thought about it and decided not to reveal his own face. ”Mask battle then.”

”Player is being sent to ring No.188 of the arena, on the sixth floor.”

Not long after being sent to the sixth floor, Lin Huang was matched with an opponent and sent to the ring. As he entered, a silver mask was attached to his face. The mask was a perfect fit leaving just enough space to move, with no discomfort at all. All the others could see was his pair of eyes.

Looking around, Lin Huang noticed he was alone, with no audience around the ring either.

He had arrived earlier than his opponent. Two to three seconds later, a topless hunk appeared.

Golden numbers appeared on top of the ring and the countdown started: 10, 9, 8…

”Nickname: Sword Genius”

”Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3”

”Battle Count: 0”

”Accumulated Points: 0”

”Winning Percentage: 0%”

Looking at Lin Huang’s score, the hunk laughed.

”It seems like I’m a lucky guy today, encountered a rookie in my first battle of the day.”

Hearing what the hunk said, Lin Huang then looked at the score of his opponent.

”Nickname: Overlord Golden Gun”

”Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3”

”Battle Count: 251”

”Accumulated Points: -19”

”Winning Percentage: 46%”

Lin Huang was surprised when he saw the person’s score, which was negative. He then recalled that it would happen when one lost a battle, especially when the person lost more than they won.

”Overlord Golden Gun, is he using a gun?” Lin Huang raised his eyebrow. Once the countdown ended, Lin Huang plunged towards the hunk. No matter the person was using a weapon gun or a spear, Lin Huang figured things would not go wrong as long as he got closer to him.

Seeing Lin Huang plunging towards him, the hunk grinned.

”Ah, another kid who fell into my trap. The Overlord Golden Gun isn’t a real gun, nor a spear, but the ‘gun’ in my pants! What I’m expecting is close-quarter combat!”

Lin Huang had no idea what the hunk had in mind. Even if he did, he would not mind at all, the hunk’s winning percentage was only 46%, which showed that his ability was just mediocre at best. All he wanted to do, was to kill him as soon as possible and obtain the points.

The rings on the fourth to sixth floors of the Hunter Area were 20 meters wide. It seemed spacious but for the people of silver-level, it only took two to three steps to walk 20 meters away. Using Spectral Snowsteps, Lin Huang appeared in front of the hunk like a ghost. Although Lin Huang was fast, the hunk still managed to see him. Noticing that he was coming, the hunk punched towards Lin Huang’s shadow with his muscular arm.

”I have been waiting for this!” Lin Huang smirked.

Looking at the trajectory of the hunk’s fist, Lin Huang moved slightly and avoided the hunk’s seemingly deadly hit. He then got closer to the hunk and fully unleashed his level-8 Army Attack Tactics. The 96 circles of Life Power worked like a drill on the hunk’s tummy.

”Bang!” An intense burst was created, even Lin Huang was shocked and retreated.

While he retreated, he noticed there was a hole the size of a bowl in the hunk’s tummy. Through the hole, he could see the seats that were empty behind him. The now dead hunk fell to the ground. His ‘dead body’ fading into pieces, the blood that was spilled on Lin Huang’s hands and body as well as on the ring disappeared too.

Lin Huang remained shocked, he did not expect his punch to be that terrifying. Although the hunk was not wearing any armor, he was still a silver-level but Lin Huang had killed him in one hit.

”The combination of Army Attack Tactics and Fatal Tactics was that powerful?” Lin Huang thought it was unbelievable.

”Congratulations, you have won the battle!”

”You managed to kill your opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!”

Hearing the notification, Lin Huang looked at his personal score.

”Nickname: Sword Genius”

”Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3”

”Battle Count: 1”

”Accumulated Points: 2”

”Winning Percentage: 100%”

”If I managed to kill my opponent for 10 consecutive battles in one hit, I would not only get 20 points, but 40 points!” The first battle gave Lin Huang confidence. It was normal that he was given weaker opponent in the beginning as he did not have any points yet, which made getting a winning streak easier. He started to aim higher, which was to kill his opponents in one hit.

”I shall try my best to kill all of them in one hit then.” Lin Huang decided.

”Would you like to continue to battle?” A notification box popped up before Lin Huang.

”Yes!” Lin Huang selected immediately.

”The system is matching you with an opponent please wait… Matching has been completed!”

Soon, an opponent was sent across the ring. It was a tall lady in revealing attire. She wore black stilettos that were 30 centimeters high with black stockings pulled up to her thighs. She wore black leather panties and above that was a black leather corset which covered most of her breasts, leaving her cleavage just showing with her back, shoulders and arms revealed. She wore a black metal mask, not supplied with the system, she brought that mask along with her.

Holding a black whip in her hand, she looked at Lin Huang in a snobbish manner. Lin Huang then looked at the score.

”Nickname: Master Queen”

”Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3”

”Battle Count: 27”

”Accumulated Points: 19”

”Winning Percentage: 85%”

”This girl has a high winning percentage… She must be powerful. She’s using a whip which is good for long-distance attacks, I’ll need to get closer to her.” Lin Huang was analyzing the girl from far. The lady was calm after looking at Lin Huang’s score. Just when the countdown ended, when Lin Huang was making his move, the lady had her whip out.

”Surrender, kid. As long as you surrender, I’m sure to give you…. something good…” There was a charm in her voice.

”Mind skills?” Lin Huang squinted his eyes and figured the lady was using some mind skills. However, as Lin Huang possessed Kaleidoscope , he was immune to the skill and he was not affected at all. Using Cloud Steps , he managed to avoid the lady’s whip easily while approaching her at a lightning speed.

”As long as you say ‘I surrender’, I will be sure to love you…” The lady’s voice was echoing in Lin Huang’s ears.

”You sure you want to do this?” Lin Huang’s eyes became swirly as he used Kaleidoscope …

”Will you really love me?” The young man was always just across from the lady wherever he was.

”Of course, I love such boys like you…” The lady grinned, ”Come, listen to me, say ‘I surrender.”

”I…” Just when the young man started to speak, the lady felt an intense danger was coming towards her. She planned to escape but the young man’s voice came into her ear.

”Your sweet dream should end now.”

The lady felt an immense pain in her tummy. She looked, there was a hole that was size of a bowl through her tummy. She held her head up, the young man in the silver mask was stood three meters away from her, while looking at her without an expression. Soon, the lady’s body was breaking down and the blood on the ring disappeared.

Lin Huang stood where he was and smirked, ”I didn’t know I could use other abilities here. It seems like I could use all monster skills in the battles, including sword skills and combat skills.”

”Congratulations, you have won the battle!”

”You managed to kill your opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!”

”Would you like to continue to battle?”

”Yes!” Lin Huang selected immediately.

”The system is matching an opponent for you… Matching has been completed!”

Lin Huang’s third opponent was then sent to the ring…
