Chapter 709 Death Arena Rules

Da Chun asked, "What is it, two leaders?"

King Golden Horn said in a deep voice, "I know you are a team of heroes, but we have also heard about this Isaac. If he can join your team, then we should be even more qualified!"

Oh, is that so?

Silver Horn King said, "When we saw you, we felt a sense of familiarity with you. We think you can join our gang!"

Holy crap? Me, a short guy from the Earth element, joining the Divine Bull Gang? But I was originally an elder priest from the Mad Bull Gang after it merged with the Boasting Gang, so how could I possibly join?

Da Chun tentatively asked, "Then you're inviting me to join?"

The two gang leaders were overjoyed: "That was truly exhilarating!"

—System notification: Golden Horn King, leader of the Divine Bull Gang, invites you to join the Divine Bull Gang. Do you agree?

agree!

System notification: Congratulations! You have joined the level 80 Divine Ox Gang, and have received the gang bonus of +80% to all attributes and the gang skill "Master-level Divine Ox Skill".

Divine Ox Skill: Increases the chance of knocking back, knocking down, and stunning by 80%. Ignores some defense, ignores super armor, and performs piercing strikes.

—System notification: Your guild skill "Master Craftsman" is incredibly powerful, and both "Master Craftsman" and "Master Bull Guild" skills are incredibly powerful. The effects of "Master Craftsman" overlap and cannot be boosted by lower-level skills. Would you like to share the "Master Craftsman" guild skill within the guild?
……

The gang channel erupted in cheers!
You actually joined?!

Holy crap, the Divine Bull Gang and the Black Flag Order both boost all attributes! The Black Flag Order adds 105% at level 105, while the Divine Bull Gang adds 80% to all attributes at level 80. In comparison, my Dios Merchant Guild and the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild don't add any attributes at all, and the Mad Bull Gang only adds attack power, nothing else. So—

Da Chun immediately recalled what Fafner had said: the Black Flag Order was a merchant guild from the Great Expansion period, possessing immense authority, almost like a state within a state. However, because it went bankrupt early, it was overlooked, thus preserving the Black Flag Order's attributes. As for the other merchant guilds, they were all dismantled after the situation stabilized.

In other words, only the original guilds and clans will receive the full attribute bonus; those that have been split up or have branch offices or recommendation letters will not!

Looking at the attributes of this Divine Ox Skill, it's simple, brutal, and even ignores super armor, which is incredibly powerful! However, the 80% chance is actually relative. After all, if the opponent has 80% resistance to stun and 80% resilience, it will be negated. In this battlefield full of experts, it probably wouldn't stand out that much, which is why they specifically sought me out.

Finally, is the Divine Craftsman level shared? So this supposedly incredibly powerful guild only has Master level members at this point?

Da Chun suddenly fell into deep thought!
How did I achieve this God-level craftsmanship? It was because the Minotaur, the Minotaur master, formed a secret cult and contacted the Mad Bull Gang and the Boasting Gang to conduct research. Then I asked the Earth Mother and the mathematician Gauss to calculate a new rune for the spirit of nature, "Ebony Wilvein..." and broke through in one fell swoop!
As it turns out, after traveling through a thousand years, it was actually me who went back and taught them!

So, the logic of this time travel is the chicken-and-egg problem, a cause-and-effect cycle, a closed loop, right?

Da Chun was both amused and exasperated, and shared it!
The next moment, the cheering gang fell silent!

Da Chun observed the reactions of Golden Horn and Silver Horn. The two bulls went from initial joy to stunned silence, then to shock, then to trembling all over, and finally, those two mountain-like figures knelt—no, prostrated themselves before him! The accompanying bull-headed beasts also trembled with ecstasy and fell to their knees!
—System notification: You have been appointed as the Grand Elder and Priest of the Divine Ox Gang! You have gained permissions related to the gang's divine attributes.

The entire gang shouted in unison, "Elder! From this day forward, you are our elder!!"

Oh~~ I'm being an elder priest again!
Speaking of which, in these cult-like gangs, isn't the power of the priest above that of the gang leader? Then let's not be so formal.

Da Chun got down to business: "Please rise, both leaders. I know our guild is very brave, but my mission this time is to find the opposing God Realm and fight a small-scale team battle, which is equivalent to a one-on-one duel. The outcome of the whole battle will be decided by the one-on-one duel. Everyone should understand this rule?"

The two gang leaders instantly snapped to attention: "Got it! One-on-one duels are a tradition of our Minotaur clan!"

Da Chun said, "So, I know you want to fight, but the number of troops must be absolutely elite."

The two gang leaders said, "No need to trouble the other brothers, Elder, take the two of us!" Da Chun reminded them, "Alright! But you must follow orders. For example, this Isaac, you may have opinions about him, but I admire his prophetic abilities. If he says he's going to run away, we'll definitely run away without hesitation!"

Isaac was deeply moved: "President..."

The two gang leaders hesitated for a moment: "No problem! With the gang leader's awesome skills, it'll be hard for us to die even if we want to. We'll cover for them!"

Da Chun readily agreed to their request: "Alright, then you'll be responsible for covering the rear! Whether this battle can bring back the thousand-year glory of the Minotaur clan depends on whether you can hold the line!"

The two gang leaders, their muscles bulging, declared: "Don't worry, Elder!"

Just then, the other members of the Chamber of Commerce finally saw the message on the channel and came to gather.

"Let's go, Dragon God Temple!"

Eager to show off, Isaac eagerly led the way: "Guild Leader, I know the way well!"

Perhaps at Maria's call, the Winged Serpent Queen and her son also descended from the sky and joined the group.

Then the entire team gathered at the Dragon God Temple.

Da Chun finally saw the legendary Dragon God, but it turned out to be just a phantom?
Huh? It's said he's an illusion because his physical body was destroyed in that battle, so even after returning to the time before the great war a thousand years ago, he's still an illusion. So, this is a god? The timeline remains unchanged...

Dragon God was pleased: "Warrior, I appreciate your suggestion of small-scale team battles, and the other side has also agreed. However, they have proposed a best-of-five format according to the Death Arena rules! Is that alright?"

Huh? Arena? Not open-world PvP?

Da Chun asked for confirmation: "What is a Death Arena?"

The Dragon God solemnly said, "In the previous matches, all members who died on both sides were resurrected and rematched. However, in the decisive match, both sides must go all out, so the losers will not be resurrected, but all the winners will be resurrected and the winners will take all the spoils!"

大春心头一颤：“就是说，双方打出个0:2或1:2或2:2以后，就来到决胜局了，败者就不复活了？”

"That's right. But the cooldowns of some ultimate abilities won't be reset when you revive, so you have to be careful how you use them."

Holy crap! I'm a player, will I be resurrected? And I have no idea what special abilities my team members have!

Da Chun then asked, "Wouldn't the other side send out a dozen or so top-tier players to crush us?"

The Dragon God said, "No, the arena rules match the strength of both sides. While it may not be perfectly precise, there won't be a crushing defeat. In short, don't show any mercy to your opponent, because they are warriors who died a thousand years ago. If there are no problems, let's set off!"

The entire team was in high spirits: "No problem!"

Holy crap, you guys are way more confident than me!
To break free from this plot twist, Da Chun had no choice but to give it his all: "Let's go!"

With a flap of its wings, the scene of Great Spring changed, and it appeared in a beautiful landscape of green trees, grass, and clear lake water, but the void above its head remained.

—System notification: Your team has entered the Void Eden Arena, which possesses regular world attributes, divine attributes, and void attributes.

—System notification: Arena matchmaking has begun. Please wait to prepare.
