7 and 9 entered the arena, signed the contract. The wind blew wildly around.
9 smiled, calmly:
"Come on buddy, I'll let you go first."
7 was silent, murderous intent rising. He thought: 9 can't die, but he can get injured and hibernate... then what should we do?
Suddenly, 9 exploded in power! Green energy surged, but he remained calm:
"Well, let's see..."
7 used the energy, continuing to explode in power. In no time, he received a series of powerful effects:
100% Critical
100% Evasion
Infinite Luck
Speed ??+100%
Strength +100%
And a series of other effects!
In the audience, a few people were stunned. 2 gasped:
"Fuck… this guy is a hacker?!"
6 smirked:
"Oh, this guy is interesting."
The fight began
As soon as a series of powerful effects appeared, 7 rushed over. 9 just stood there watching.
BOOM!
7's punch completely crushed 9!
Looking at the scene before his eyes, 7 was stunned:
"Just like that...? No, it can't be!"
But then, 9's body gradually recovered as if nothing had happened.
7 shouted:
"Why?!"
9 smiled:
"Ah, I forgot... this is my special skill—instant resurrection. But it can only be used once a week. And now it's my turn."
Saying that, 9 rushed over, throwing a series of punches. 7 thought he wouldn't be injured, but at that moment, he clearly felt the force of the attack. 7 was shocked and quickly blocked.
"How… how is that possible?! My evasion rate is clearly 100%!"
9 laughed coldly:
"Um, sorry for not mentioning it in advance, 7."
7 stared at 9's hands. They were fractional gloves.
9 said softly:
"To be more precise… The numerator is the current area, the dividing line is the gate, and the denominator is your soul. I can't attack your body, thanks to the lucky effects, but your soul can."
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Up on the stage, 6 frowned and looked at 9 uncomfortably. He said to 1:
"Hey, 1, you are the primeval being, you understand birth the best. Why is it that 9 and I are not much different, but I feel like he is more cunning than me? And yet I am the death?"
1 chuckled:
"No matter what you are, the soul still decides everything. The body does not decide fate.
For example, you, 6, if you die, your soul will be lost, but another soul will take your place in your body within the next 5-10 years.
As for 9, it is his soul that decides his nature. And it is also the way he attacks 7 with the fractional glove—causing mental damage instead of physical damage."
6 heard this and was confused:
"What... what? You sound so crazy. Well, just watch the match!"
7, after receiving a series of punches from 9, laughed out loud:
"Muhahaha! You are indeed very smart... or rather, very cunning!"
9 raised his eyebrows:
"What do you mean?"
9 rushed forward, but 7 quickly counterattacked:
"If I can't fight directly... then...!"
Immediately, 7 summoned a series of clover leaves, flying in the sky like meteors with great destructive power!
9 immediately set up his defense.
He began to chant—the Ancient Tree was activated, creating a giant ancient tree.
9 laughed:
"It is the Immortal Tree."
He crushed a fraction, planting it on the tree.
"Now, it can attack both the body and the soul. Quickly destroy 7, Immortal Tree!"
The battle continued to be intense! Could 7 withstand 9's absolute power?
9 laughed dangerously, looking towards the Immortal Tree, commanding:
"Now, it can attack both the body and the soul. Quickly destroy 7, Immortal Tree!"
Immediately, the Immortal Tree rose up, creating a series of strange grass branches, growing long and fast as if they had their own will.
On the stands, 5 (Five Elements) was sipping his coffee, suddenly spitting out, surprised:
"Oh... when did I teach him the Wood element?!"
Back at the arena, 7 saw each blade of grass rushing towards him, immediately summoning Lucky Meteor Shower. But unfortunately, these blades of grass were like zombies—cutting and then growing back.
Not letting the match drag on, 9 continued to chant, summoning a strange rain that covered the entire arena. Under that rain, the Immortal Tree became stronger and stronger.
5 on the stands was still stunned:
"What the hell! This guy also knows Water element moves? That's Apocalypse Rain!"
At this moment, 7 was almost desperate. A series of blades of grass rushed towards him, completely attacking his soul, leaving him exhausted.
9 stood on the Immortal Tree, looking down:
"What, buddy? Should we end the match?"
But 7 just smiled. He pulled out the Plus Sign, recovering all his stamina, then exploded with power, receiving an additional luck buff.
All of 7's energy exploded to the maximum!
He pulled out the Lucky Blade from the Minus Sign, and light flashed. At the same time, 7's speed skyrocketed: +99999%!
A series of extremely powerful slashes cut across the arena, so fast that the grass didn't have time to recover.
As soon as he reached the tree, 7 rushed forward like a ferocious beast, slashing from the roots, trunk, top, and tip—leaving the Immortal Tree unable to regenerate.
9 kept a smile on his face, observing everything.
7 roared:
"Well, 9, you're very lucky, but…"
Suddenly—the Immortal Tree exploded!
The power exploded violently, causing 9 to suffer extremely heavy damage—both physically and mentally.
Both of them fell from above—BOOMMMMMMMMM!
7 and 9 were both motionless.
Suddenly, 9 stood up, intending to use the Plus Sign to recover.
But… SWISH!
A blade suddenly pierced straight through him—7 used all his remaining strength, throwing the final throw!
Both of them collapsed.
The Arena Contract was activated.
7 and 9 revived, lying in the waiting room.
9 looked at 7, smiling faintly:
"You're very lucky. I didn't expect the match to end in a draw."
7 also smiled, replying:
"Of course. Because I'm 7!"
