Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating
Chapter 107: Defending the Arena
Lucien had only been in this Trial Space for a minute.
A level 30 Goblin, holding a staff, appeared before him.
As soon as the monster emerged, its data was displayed in front of him.
It was just a level 30 ordinary monster.
He directly summoned his army of summons.
Eighteen teleportation arrays manifested, and nine Five Elements Zombies and nine Five Elements Spirit Beasts appeared before him.
They pounced toward the Goblin Mage.
That poor Goblin Mage didn’t even have time to react before being torn to pieces by the eighteen summons.
However, there was no notification of gaining experience; it seemed killing monsters here didn’t grant any.
Next came two Goblin Mages, but it was the same story.
The two Goblin Mages were torn to pieces.
Lucien also gained three points.
Next were four, then five, then six, and when it reached the ninth...
Lucien still didn’t have to act personally; the summons tore the Goblin Mages to shreds.
Soon, a level 31 monster appeared from the teleportation array.
But none of this posed even the slightest difficulty for Lucien.
After all, they were just ordinary monsters, not some Boss.
How could they be worth his personal intervention? Even against monsters over level 40, his summons could easily tear them to pieces.
Watching Lucien looking so relaxed—he even looked like he wanted to grab a small stool and sit down to eat snacks—
The others weren’t having such an easy time. Many players were stuck on the first level 30 monster.
After all, many people hadn’t even reached level 30 yet.
Furthermore, many were in support classes, and their personal combat power wasn’t high.
Actually, this Martial Arts Tournament was quite unfair, as there were too many support classes.
Their combat power wasn’t strong to begin with; how were they supposed to fight monsters alone?
Soon, everyone was eliminated one by one.
By this time, Lucien had already finished the level 40 monsters.
Just as he was looking forward to the next round, a flash of white light occurred, and Lucien returned to the square from earlier.
He heard the voice of the City Lord of Yizhou echoing in everyone’s ears.
"The first round of the elimination tournament has ended."
"Of the 800 million people who participated in this tournament, 100 remain."
"Five Chosen Ones from Wing Province City have entered the top 100."
"The results of the top 100 Chosen Ones will now be announced."
As soon as the words fell, a voice sounded in Lucien’s ear.
"Ding, you have achieved first place in this Martial Arts Tournament. Do you wish to announce your name?"
Lucien didn’t think much about it and directly chose to announce it.
In any case, the Nine Great Guilds were already a thing of the past.
Soon, the rankings appeared before all the participants’ eyes.
"1st Place: Falling into the Human World (Wing Province), 2475 Points"
"2nd Place: Red Bean Cake (Qing Province), 1900 Points"
"3rd Place: I Have 28 Centimeters (Wing Province), 1850 Points"
"4th Place: XXX (Xu Province), 1880 Points"
Lucien’s 2475 points were prominently ranked first, but second place wasn’t bad either, with nearly two thousand points.
Of course, from the points alone, the difference between the two didn’t seem too large.
However, this was because everyone was teleported out before the higher-level monsters could appear.
Looking at Falling into the Human World in first place, no one felt any resentment.
This was the only player who could go head-to-head with the Nine Great Guilds, and in the end, he was perfectly fine while the Nine Great Guilds were gone.
No matter how unwilling they were, they had to admit that Falling into the Human World’s strength was already far in the lead.
Although he hadn’t appeared on the level rankings yet, that was only a matter of time.
As for second place, many people were unconvinced.
"I have an SS-rank talent at least, why is this Red Bean Cake stronger than me?"
"Is there a mistake? I fought up to level 35 monsters and still didn’t make the list."
"You don’t know until you see it, I’m shocked there are so many high-level players."
Though many players were disgruntled, what could they do?
This wasn’t a place where the minority followed the majority; strength was everything.
Just then, the City Lord of Yizhou’s voice rang out once more.
"This round has concluded. Starting tomorrow, the Arena Matches will begin."
"The top ten contestants can each choose an arena to defend."
"A Chosen One who successfully stays in the arena for two hours will be considered to have defended it successfully."
After resting for a day, Lucien arrived at the square again at noon the next day.
By this time, the Trial Tower had already disappeared.
Ten arenas were placed on the massive square.
Each arena could simulate different scenarios.
Each arena was a full 50,000 square meters, shrinking every ten minutes.
This was to prevent some ’camper’ arena masters with special stealth talents.
They would go into stealth immediately upon entering the stage and stay that way until they successfully defended the arena.
From these details, it seemed the Jiuzhou Empire had likely held many Martial Arts Tournaments before.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be set up this way, leaving absolutely no room for people to exploit bugs.
Because Lucien was in first place, he was the first to choose from the ten arenas.
Lucien didn’t hesitate and directly chose the first one, the most ordinary arena.
Underfoot was granite, and the surroundings were completely open. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Seeing that Lucien had already chosen the first one, the others also quickly chose the arenas they needed.
Soon, the ten arenas were all assigned.
The rest depended on who would come to challenge the arena masters.
Lucien took out a lounge chair and directly summoned his eighteen summons.
He leisurely drank a beverage from his backpack.
That relaxed appearance didn’t look like he was there to defend an arena, but rather like he was on vacation.
Lucien’s behavior directly enraged the other top 100 players.
Those selected as the top 100 out of hundreds of millions of people—
They were certainly the favorites of heaven, and every single one of them was proud and arrogant.
"I can’t take it anymore, I want to give him a beating."
"I can’t stand it either. So what if he has a few more summons? I don’t believe that as a level 39 Archmage, I can’t beat him."
"Who is this guy? Why is he so arrogant, not putting us in his eyes at all?"
"He’s Falling into the Human World. You want to go up and try?"
Upon hearing that the first arena master was Falling into the Human World, the player who was just about to go up and test him immediately stopped and looked toward the other arenas.
The players in the audience naturally saw Lucien’s appearance as well.
"This person is the Great God Luo Renjian? He’s so handsome!"
"Holy crap? Handsome my ass! He wears a mask on his head every day, how can you see if he looks good or not!"
"Exactly, he’s wearing a mask and you can still see? Please."
Though Lucien was relaxed, he was also observing the other arena masters.
What surprised Lucien most was that the second arena master was actually a big-breasted girl.
She was the only female player defending an arena.
And she was quite good-looking. Lucien used Insight Skill to take a look.
Name: Red Bean Cake

Class: Spirit Summoner
HP: 6000

She had many skills, even quite a few more than Lucien.
