Swallowed Star Chapter 958: Win! Win! Win!

The silver-gray, snake-shaped monster slowly arose from the desert. With its triangular head high, it stared coldly at Luo Feng from afar and squeaked in a voice millions of times jarring than scraping glass.

"Blade River Emperor!" it hissed. "How many glory points do you have? Do you dare to bet with me?" Like a shockwave, the voice stirred up vast quantities of sand.

"You should feel honored to be my first opponent in the World of Glory," Luo Feng said, smiling amid the swirling sand.

The silver-gray, snake-shaped creature glowered at Luo Feng. "Your first one? Haha! A pleasure for me, indeed. Three glory points. Do you dare?"

"I will choose one glory point to fight each of my rivals," said Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was daring, but he wasn't stupid. Judging by his fight against Cha Man Emperor, he estimated that he could become one of the best among the third stage inheritors with his beast god conception and mighty willpower. However, if he wagered high stakes and lost all of his glory points right at the beginning, he wouldn't be able to battle with other rivals.

After all, he had accepted over 620,000 battles; betting one glory point for each battle was surely enough.

"One point? Ha! What I want is to win and acquire all your glory points so that the inheritors of other races can't battle against you," said the snake complacently. "By then, all of Bauhinia Island will know that Blade River Emperor was defeated by me, King Serkaphinse."

Luo Feng chuckled. "Cut the nonsense. You're just my warm-up. Let's fight."

"Damn!"

With a jarring squeak, a stream of formidable current surged toward the sky, making the whole desert tremble.

"Very good," commented Luo Feng.

Boom!

With his eyes lit up, Luo Feng also augmented his breathing sharply and burned his undying godly body. Meanwhile, as his scaled wings fluttered, he turned into a beam of light and flew upward. As he flung his left hand fiercely, 600 golden beads flew across the sky. Simulated within the battle world of the World of Glory, the 600 golden beads were made from common materials that pinnacle-emperor-level spirit readers used for forging weapons.

As the beast god roared and King Serkaphinse screeched, the battle began.

Only seconds later, after a few dozen moves, the godly body of King Serkaphinse was annihilated.

"No…!" King Serkaphinse wailed.

Its cold, snake-like eyes were fraught with fury. It refused to recognize that it had lost to a sector lord, especially under the conditions that they both fought in godly bodies. And then, its figure blurred until it vanished. Obviously, it had been kicked out of the battle world. Luo Feng had moved on to his second battle.

During the interval between the two battles, Luo Feng looked at his black book. Indeed, one glory point had been added.

"Four glory points," he said. "The first rival that I chose just now ranked medium on the list of third-stage inheritors. Well, its strength was weaker than that of Cha Man Emperor."

Without being pushed to his limit, Luo Feng had defeated his opponent.

He still stood in the desert. Looking at his second rival in the distance, Luo Feng grinned. "Here comes another one to give me their glory points."

*******

The battles continued.

The open-air square of the World of Glory had turned into a state of commotion. At the moment, at least 100 million heirs, including Seven Blade Emperor, were connected to the World of Glory, for they had received word that Blade River Emperor had commenced taking on his challengers nonstop.

"What?" one onlooker said to a defeated challenger. "You lost to that Blade River Emperor? A sector lord? He has no treasures to turn to in the battle world, and you still lost?"

"Haha! So useless to lose!" another added. "I hope Blade River Emperor doesn't lose all his glory points too soon. Watch me when it is my turn to fight him."

In the beginning, the three great beings who lost one after another became objects of ridicule within their respective factions. Although the rest of the heirs sneered, they also put their guards up because they knew the strengths of their partners.

Since the open-air square was large enough for nearly 100 million inheritors to gather there—forming smaller groups of hundreds of or thousands of heirs—the news that three heirs had lost consecutively spread quickly within their factions. But Luo Feng was fighting very quickly. Because his godly body fully recovered after each fight, he didn't need to rest at all.

Before long, he had fought 1,000 battles in succession!

After about eleven hours, Luo Feng paused his fighting and decided to take a break.

It took me about eleven hours to fight 1,000 battles, thought Luo Feng. Well, the actual time consumed by each battle averaged less than 10 seconds. It was the launch of every fight in the battle world and the conversations with my rivals that wasted so much time.

Usually, Luo Feng didn't bother to speak too much except for some trash talk such as, "Give me your glory points!" or, "Die!" or, "Don't keep me waiting!"

******

Bauhinia Island. In front of Luo Feng's mansion.

"Blade River," said a voice from outside.

"Blade River!" said another.

After 1,000 battles, Luo Feng had left World of Glory temporally. He was about to rest when he heard his name called twice. He knew the voices belonged to Thousand Rain Emperor and Cha Man Emperor.

As Luo Feng took a step, he disappeared from the attic and arrived at the gate to his mansion, opening the door in person. It was Cha Man Emperor, Thousand Rain Emperor, and another human heir standing outside the door.

"Seven Blade Emperor?" Luo Feng said in shock.

Dumbfounded, Luo Feng looked at this great being of the human race who had come to visit him. He had met Seven Blade Emperor in the Star Tower before.

For the first time, the Seven Blade Emperor attentively observed Blade River Emperor, the mysterious fighter who had stunned the universe. At first glance, Blade River Emperor was very common. But if anyone paid attention to Blade River Emperor's eyes, they would have felt the formidable strength harbored in his heart. The strength was the confidence brought by mighty willpower, indicating that Luo Feng was extremely self-assured. After Sky Wolf had revealed his identity, Luo Feng had felt relieved, and he had stopped hiding. Instead, he had become more fearless, ready to confront any obstacle.

True gold feared no fire! And a blade became sharper after refining!

"Seven Blade Emperor, we meet a second time," Luo Feng said, with a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Blade River Emperor, "Seven Blade Emperor said with a smile. "I didn't notice you last time because I only cared about the Sealed Star. Now, here I am to meet the legendary Blade River Emperor. I wonder if my visit is welcomed."

"Of course." Luo Feng smiled and moved aside. "Please come in, my three guests."

"Haha! I told you that Blade River Emperor is a very amiable friend," said Thousand Rain Emperor with a smile.

Cha Man Emperor, meanwhile, kept his cool.

Soon, the four of them entered the mansion together and arrived at the reception hall, where the garden style was that of Jiang Nan, China, Luo Feng's hometown. There were only old-fashioned wooden armchairs and a tea table in the reception hall. Luo Feng sat in the center. Though Seven Blade Emperor, Thousand Rain Emperor and Cha Man Emperor were confused about the layout, they noticed the three chairs alongside the table and sat down casually.

"Blade River," said Cha Man Emperor. "How many battles have you accepted?"

"I have accepted every challenge issued to me," said Luo Feng.

Seven Blade Emperor and Thousand Rain Emperor were slightly startled.

"How many is that?" asked Thousand Rain Emperor. "Moments after you entered the open-air square of the World of Glory, you had received tens of thousands of challenges. The number must have climbed up afterward. Besides, by consulting other factions, the great beings of various races in the World of Glory have estimated that you must have accepted over 100,000 battles. It's hard to count the accurate number because there are too many camps, but the number should be clear in a few days."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "That's right. I didn't receive too many challenges when I was new to World of Glory, but the number snowballed later. In total, I have accepted over 620,000 challenges. Considering that there are over 90 million third-stage inheritors, the fact that less than 1 percent challenged me isn't surprising."

"6—620…?" Cha Man Emperor stammered in astonishment. "620,000?"

Thousand Rain Emperor's jaw dropped.

Even Seven Blade Emperor was speechless for an instant. The number was horrifying. Everyone knew Cha Man Emperor had been here a long time, and he had accepted less than 1,000 challenges in all. When it came to fighting, the human race had to be extremely careful, because humans had already made plenty of enemies among the other races in the universe.

"You can kill emperors at the limit level as a sector lord," Cha Man Emperor sighed, shaking his head. "You are so famous that it is believed that you are to be an unforgettable peerless talent. That is why those confident heirs of other races, no matter how cautious they are, want to fight you. Since the base number of total inheritors is over 90 million, it is to be expected that over 620,000 of them challenged you."

"We are here to congratulate you on your 989 victories during your 1,000 battles today," Thousand Rain Emperor said, laughing.

"Congratulations," said Cha Man Emperor.

"Earning over 900 glory points in one day," sighed the Seven Blade Emperor. "That's sufficient to exchange for nine inheritance opportunities. How I envy you. And this is only the first day of your battles."

Luo Feng grinned but said to himself, "I still lost 11 times."

Although his strength was at the peak, it didn't mean that he was the best of the third-stage inheritors! Among the 1,000 rivals Luo Feng had selected on his first day, there were stronger and weaker ones, but one should have known the different fighting styles or secret techniques that could restrain them. Usually, it was the great beings with confidence who would challenge Luo Feng, and almost every great being on the top level on Bauhinia Island had invited Luo Feng to fight. And Luo Feng had accepted every challenge.

Luo Feng's heart was filled with pride. "I don't care about losing a few glory points," he said. "After combating against so many heirs of other races, the losses are worthwhile."

******

The second day, Luo Feng continued fighting.

By reading their black books, the heirs of other races could see Luo Feng's battle records. On the ranking list of third-stage heirs, the numbers of wins and losses were clearly listed.

That day, Luo Feng fought another 1,000 battles. He did so again on the third day. 1,000 battles every day. Then Luo Feng would take a break after fighting and continue likewise the next day!

He kept fighting in this way, and thanks to his extremely high winning rates, Luo Feng's glory points skyrocketed, stunning numerous heirs of other races. Soon, it had been proven that Blade River Emperor was one of the best of all 90 million third-stage inheritors. As a result, many heirs who had wished to humiliate Blade River Emperor started to deeply regret their decision to challenge him. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't withdraw now that Luo Feng had accepted their challenges. Even if someone chose not to fight, one glory point would be deduced automatically.
