Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 202 As expected of the faction with the lowest combat quality.
Matchmaking complete, both players have entered the arena.

[Venue for this event: Snow Mountain No. 67]

Before her eyes was a vast expanse of snow and wind, and Chu Danqing's protective shield quickly shielded her from the cold.

The magic allowed him to quickly recover from his discomfort.

Da Bao stood to the side, staring intently at the wind and snow.

A figure rushed through the wind and snow, dragging a Guan Dao (a type of halberd).

"Leap Slash!" the man roared as he leaped into the air, a blue light emanating from his body.

He leaped about five meters high and slashed down at Chu Danqing.

However, Da Bao was faster. The blood rage surrounding him, combined with Chu Danqing's perception attribute passive skill, Monarch's Disdain, exuded a terrifying pressure.

A powerful pressure quickly enveloped the apostle, and fear appeared in his eyes.

Even the jumping strike started to go astray.

Clearly, he failed to gauge Da Bao's imposing aura and fell into a state of fear.

Upon landing, Da Bao's claws had already pierced his neck, killing him instantly.

[Victory, you gain: 10 competitive points, ranking rise to: 9741036584rd]

Then the scene changed, and Chu Danqing returned to the arena's matchmaking lobby.

"No, is it really that casual?" Chu Danqing looked at his ranking, which had gone from eleven digits to ten digits.

"As expected, this is the faction with the lowest individual combat strength."

Chu Danqing has made his position clear.

Even though he had just been promoted from the reserve level to the first rank, he was at least of above-average strength in the first rank.

This only includes Da Bao and Da Bai, not counting Guo Ming, Xiong Zhigang, and other summoned creatures.

It's not the kind of situation where a powerful being from the lower realm ascends to the immortal realm and becomes worse than a stray dog ​​on the roadside in the immortal realm.

"Let's play one more round." Chu Danqing started matching again.

Start matching with opponents

Matchmaking complete. Entering the arena.

Matchmaking complete, both players have entered the arena.

[Venue for this event: Colosseum No. 136]

The environment was much better this time, and Chu Danqing also met her opponent.

He was a handsome young man with a hint of arrogance in his expression.

"Summoning type?" The other party showed a hint of disdain when he saw Da Bao next to Chu Danqing.

But as he was speaking, Da Bao didn't care about anything else and took action first.

With the combined power of tearing claws and kingly contempt, the opponent's disdain quickly transformed into fear.

His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Chu Danqing felt helpless, wondering what kind of combat quality these people possessed.

He thought he had met a top apostle who had just been promoted like him, but he was defeated again after just one encounter.

You don't even need to look to know what will happen next.

Da Bao twisted his head off on the spot.

[Victory, you gain: 10 competitive points, ranking rise to: 741036584rd]

"Xiao Chu, where does his arrogance and bravado come from?"

After coming out, Da Bao was also confused.

With his perceptive abilities, he realized that the other party truly looked down on him and Chu Danqing.

It seems that he believes he is a natural counter to summoners.

"Perhaps they're skilled at decapitation strikes," Chu Danqing said.

The Summoning system only has one weakness: the Apostle himself. As for being poor? That's the Apostle's problem, not the Summoning system's.

The other party must have killed summoning apostles before, perhaps more than once, to have such a contemptuous attitude.

Come to think of it, many people believe that summoners are nothing but a bunch of useless people who rely on external things.

However, when they use the equipment, they don't realize that they are also using external objects.

"The initial progress was indeed quite fast," Chu Danqing muttered.

At the current pace, I estimate that we'll break into the top 10,000 in just a few games.

This is normal; with a high overall score, the ranking will naturally improve quickly.

Once you reach the top 10,000, you probably won't see any more progress where you jump forward by one digit at a time.

"Swipe it."

Chu Danqing continued with the matchmaking process.

[Victory! Achieve a three-game winning streak! You have won!]

【victory.】

【.】

Chu Danqing was already numb; he felt he had been too awful.

It's like a max-level character going to a fish pond to stomp on noobs; basically, all the opponents I've encountered so far have been easy kills.

Upon meeting Da Bao, they were immediately gripped by his imposing presence and were overcome with fear.

Those who can stand are already the best; the vast majority are driven to the brink of madness by fear.

Most of them are kills at the door, and the entire battle usually lasts only about ten seconds from start to finish.

Unless the distance is too far or there are environmental factors, the matchmaking time is sometimes longer than the battle time.

However, as his ranking continued to improve, Chu Danqing also noticed that the combat strength and fighting quality of his opponents were increasing.

[Victory! Achieve a 21-game winning streak. You gain: 10 competitive points, and your ranking rises to: 36584th]

"I can't keep stomping on weaker opponents. I need to take a break, or I'll develop an arrogant mentality." Chu Danqing rubbed his temples, feeling that if he continued playing, he would develop an arrogant mentality.

"Adjust your mindset, take a rest, and come back tomorrow."

Chu Danqing looked at the bored Da Bao, and he was bored too. Every time it was a one-hit kill, and he didn't get any training at all.

Instead, it diminishes vigilance and caution.

If you don't want your winning streak to end, it's best to adjust your mindset before trying again. "Let's go check out the Arena Shop." Chu Danqing currently has 210 Arena Points, which might be enough to exchange for something.

Amusement Park Points are unusable, but Arena Points can still be used.

[Omitted]

"Holy crap, basic skill crystals are so expensive?" Chu Danqing's expression was one of utter disbelief.

It takes 1 competitive points to exchange for one item.

The arena shop has more than just these items; there are many more low-point items below, but they are ignored because they are useless to Chu Danqing.

He then glanced at the skill points but ignored them.

This thing isn't very cost-effective; it's far inferior to the upcoming Arena Glory Potion.

Drinking it will directly improve your attributes.

Although there is a limit, it is only an individual limit, not a shared limit for everyone.

this is a good news.

"Let's use the last Excellent-grade True Spirit Equipment Evolution Scroll on the True Spirit Weapon awarded as the third prize."

Furthermore, competitive points are not so easy to obtain.

He only gets 10 competitive points for winning a game, but he needs 65,000 points to get four sets of competitive glory potions and evolution scrolls.

You'd need to win 6,500 games.

However, at the current pace, he won't need 6,500 matches to reach the top spot.

Ultimately, it still comes down to rankings and the points awarded for dungeon reviews and feedback.

"Thirty-six thousand is still too few. I'll try to get into the top one thousand during the break," Chu Danqing muttered.

There's still time ahead, so there's no rush. The key is to balance work and rest.

Otherwise, what if you focus all your energy on the arena and neglect the trials?

The trial is the key.

He also discovered a drawback that could be considered an advantage of the arena.

Because death in the arena is not true death, and prolonged battles can gradually diminish one's awe of death.

Subconsciously, I felt that I wouldn't really die anyway.

If you continue with this mindset when undergoing trials, you will lose your caution.

This is the same principle as being born in hardship and dying in comfort.

Aside from his desperate attempts during the first two trials, Chu Danqing remained remarkably stable in the subsequent trials.

But he knew he absolutely could not let his guard down.

Otherwise, his death would not be far off.

Every time you slack off, it means you're stuck in the same place. The enemy's strength and the difficulty of the trial won't stand still and wait for you.

He advocates a balance between work and rest, but he doesn't think that just because he feels powerful enough, he can take his time.

"I wonder how many competitive points I'll get for losing a game."

"However, judging from the current situation, even with the unlimited exchange of basic-level skill crystals and Tier 1 skill points, it is extremely difficult for most apostles to exchange for them."

Even if I save up enough, I'll probably only be able to exchange it for one.

"The seven exchange items are generally unaffordable for most apostles." Chu Danqing could tell the level of most apostles from these twenty-one consecutive victories.

Chu Danqing only gets 10 competition points for each win, and even less for each loss.

If we assume he has a minimum of 1 point, then switching to another character would require playing at least 10,000 matches.

This is something a normal person simply cannot achieve through liver function.

It seems that the competitive points awarded for victory are intended as an incentive, while the real bulk of the rewards come from the competitive points earned through ranked matches after returning from the trial.

It depends on the individual. Chu Danqing doesn't have this worry. As long as he's dedicated enough, he can get what he wants.

If I can't even get first place in the Tier 1 Arena, wouldn't I be letting down all the resources I've spent?

What he can do, others can indeed do as well.

Similarly, if others can do it, he might be able to do it too.

"Let's go back." Chu Danqing looked at Da Bao, who was yawning, and led him back.

"So weak, Xiao Chu. If you want to fight, fight someone stronger." Da Bao's IQ is only that of a five-year-old, but that doesn't mean he can't use his brain.

He just couldn't muster any interest in constantly crushing weaker opponents.

He needs strong enough opponents and intense battles to help him improve his strength.

Da Bao doesn't like fighting and killing, but he can't grow stronger without fighting and killing.

How can I protect Chu Danqing and Da Bai if I don't grow stronger?

"Let's come again tomorrow morning. I reckon we'll have to increase the intensity then," Chu Danqing reassured Da Bao.

He wasn't lying; how could the first tier be full of weak apostles?
