Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

He glanced at himself suspiciously, then looked at the prompt again.

No, where did I get this?

I got first place in Tier 4, really?

Okay, even if he's not a true fourth-tier top ten chief, it's just an assessment of overall combat strength.

However, the Hall of Light's overall combat strength assessment is frighteningly accurate. Apart from some abnormally high estimates that are inaccurate, most of them are quite accurate.

For example, he himself can fight back and forth with opponents whose combat strength is similar to his own, sometimes winning and sometimes losing.

This kind of intense, evenly matched battle made him extremely fond of spending time in the arena.

He felt that he was improving here, and that he was growing rapidly in every battle!

But now...

What is this? Fried fish?

But isn't blasting fish just a way for those who can't catch fish to vent their anger on those weaker than themselves?

[Countdown complete, battle about to begin]

The light screen in front of Li Xia gradually disappeared, and he slowly walked out, without even taking his weapons.

He had already made up his mind to take a full combo of damage first.

Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to test how resilient our avatar is. With this experience, we can better plan our tactics based on our avatar in future battles.

Li Xia looked around the area; it was alright, not too big.

It must be a small river valley, covered in lush green grass, with a clear little lake in the middle. High mountain walls surround the area, and the sky above is exceptionally blue. Several unidentified birds perch on the treetops, preening their feathers with their beaks while curiously watching the scene.

In short, it's a terrain with no special features, but it doesn't offer any additional benefits to any party.

In the arena, the map you are randomly assigned to each time has a significant impact on the outcome of the match.

For example, a water mage might be randomly assigned to a water-filled area, a fire mage to the Lava Trial Grounds, and an extremely tanky warrior with damage reflection and DoT auras might be randomly assigned to the Octagon...

The opposite side is—

Li Xia's gaze fell on the opponent's gleaming claw blades. Hmm, melee...

That's good. If possible, it would be best to try all the different magic types, such as fire magic, water magic, lightning magic, earth magic, ice magic, archers, gunners, and swordsmen.

Li Xia walked slowly forward, his mind racing with thoughts. After walking for a while, he suddenly realized, "Why hasn't the other side attacked yet?"

Looking up, I saw that the claw-wielding warrior had already run more than a hundred meters away, crouching down as if on high alert.

Li Xia: ?

No, why is he hiding?

He beckoned to him, signaling him to come over quickly, but he didn't expect that this action would once again stir up a huge wave in the heart of the claw knife warrior.

Is this a provocation?

No...no! This is humiliating me!

A surge of intense anger and humiliation slowly rose in the heart of the claw-wielding warrior.

His eyes were slightly red as he stared at Li Xia. He straightened up, his teammate, with whom he had shared life and death, was watching him from the stands.

Do we really have to show them such an embarrassing side of ourselves?

Could it be that all the life-and-death struggles we've shared, all the battles we've fought together in the halls of power, were just a lie?

Does facing the number one team mean we have to be cowardly and act like mice?

Do I lack the courage to draw my sword against the strong?

Stand up! Stand up!

Even if you come in first, you must make your voice heard and not let your fear defeat you!

Just like facing the Rear Admiral in One Piece, enduring the fear and leaving him with scars, just like the perilous kill of the Special Jonin in Naruto.

Let the top player on the other side see your backbone!

Cheer up! Don't embarrass yourself!

"what!!!"

He roared, his eyes seemingly burning with flames, and flames actually ignited on his two claw blades. His teammates in the stands, who had been puzzled by his previous 'cowardice towards the lizard,' instantly became excited.

They stood up, pumping their fists wildly, encouraging their teammates with shouts and actions:

"Skaarl! Show them what you're made of!"

"Use your claws to slice through every enemy that stands in your way!"

"Completely insane!"

"Charge! Blazing Blades! Source of terror! Our sharpest weapon! Our most piercing blade!"

Li Xia, meanwhile, watched the claw-wielding warrior opposite him, though he didn't know what was burning, he had a feeling that the warrior was on fire.

He nodded with satisfaction. In short... just don't keep thinking about running.

Unexpectedly, this action was once again seen as a provocation by Skaarl, but Skaarl, having regained his 'heart of the strong', did not back down at all.

Instead, he used this 'mockery' as fuel to move forward.

He crossed his claws in an 'X' shape in front of his chest, then suddenly flung them outwards, causing the flames to burn even more intensely.

Skaar lowered his body and slammed his feet into the ground, kicking up thick dust.

Its claws dragged across the ground, leaving three burning scratch marks on the hard surface.

Even the ground was left with burning footprints from his running, as he rushed over with a thunderous roar.

It looks unbeatable!

Chapter 4 The Arena Apostle Who Broke His Defenses

The 100-meter distance was quickly closed in just a few seconds thanks to Skaar's all-out sprint.

Meanwhile, the teammates in the stands became increasingly excited as they got closer.

This is Skaarl's ultimate move. He once cleaved through the Armament Haki of a Marine Rear Admiral in One Piece at the third level, leaving behind a dashing silhouette.

"That's it! Cut off his head!"

"Charge! Skaarl!"

Skaar seemed to sense his companion's encouragement. He opened his mouth and roared, and the flames on his body intensified, even forming a fiery lion that enveloped him.

"Roar!"

The lion opened its mouth and let out a non-existent roar, and Skaar charged forward with a deadly attack that was a condensation of his essence, energy, and spirit.

He leaped high into the air, looked at Li Xia who remained 'unmoved', twisted his claws, and left a bright slash mark in mid-air!

Skaar's eyes shone with boundless confidence. No matter why you didn't dodge, but... facing my earth-shattering blow, even if you are ranked number one overall, you will be severely injured!

The outcome is decided!

"Super Special Move: Berserker Sky-Splitting Slash!"

A tremendous roar, accompanied by flames, and several flashes of cold light struck Li Xia's chest heavily.

"Break apart—"

As Skaar roared, he felt a tremendous force rebounding from his claws. This force flowed into his arms, and his entire body trembled violently.

"Boom!"

The flames on Skaar's entire body were directly shattered by this force, and the originally magnificent fire lion turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

He looked at the spot where his claw blade had struck, and a layer of exquisitely beautiful, glass-like armor was faintly emerging. A faint golden light flowed and shimmered on the armor plates, making it more like a work of art than armor.

Only the piece of armor that he had struck had been partially revealed; the rest remained empty.

Sgar: ?

Li Xia: ......

He looked down at the God-Enemy Armor that had automatically appeared, and at Skaarl, whose avatar had lost a quarter of its health due to the armor's recoil.

It was unusual for it to carry a hint of apology:

"Sorry, I forgot about the armor."

Li Xia patted his chest, and the layer of glass armor that shimmered with an extremely beautiful light disappeared directly into his body.

"It's all right now. Would you like to try again?"

Looking at the concern on the person opposite him, Skaar felt his whole body trembling with anger. What was this all about?

My ultimate move has an attack strength of 14, and so far I have never encountered a situation where it failed to break through the opponent's defense.

He looked at the young face opposite him, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Yes, the opponent must have gotten a powerful defensive item to show off in the arena.

That must be it...

Skaar slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with the ruthlessness of a lone wolf.

I admit, you're very strong, and your equipment is unimaginable, but you shouldn't have...

Skaar raised his claws, leaving gleaming claw marks in mid-air, and slashed towards Li Xia's neck.

In front of my purple-grade ultimate weapon with an attack power of 11, almost 12... you're just putting on airs!

"bite!!"

The claw knife stopped at his neck with a crisp metallic clang. The blade of the claw knife gleamed coldly, and you could feel its sharpness just by looking at it.

But no matter what, it couldn't cut into the neck that seemed to glow faintly.

The relatives and friends in the stands were petrified, still standing and waving their fists, staring at the scene below with their mouths open.

Skaar:...

Li Xia: ....

"impossible!"

With bloodshot eyes, Skar frantically brandished his weapon, the clanging sounds filling the entire valley.

The cold light flashed, almost forming a dense net that enveloped Li Xia completely, sparks flying everywhere.

Suddenly, all the cold light disappeared, and Li Xia was directly teleported to the preparation room.

[Executioner, the enemy has withdrawn from the battle.]

You have won this match.

Li Xia remained silent for a while, then poured himself a glass of water. He never expected that there would be a fourth-tier apostle whose defenses were not breached.

It's one thing that the God-Enemy Armor with a defense level of 15 can't be broken, but even after removing the armor, it still can't break through the defense.

this.....

I recalled the arena when I first entered the fourth tier, although most of the apostles were taken away before they could even touch me.

But some people still got hurt, like the one who was also frying fish.

After drinking three cups of water, Li Xia pondered for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

It must be because the claw-wielding warrior was too weak; the other apostles might not be so bad.

So he put down his water glass and firmly pressed the continue button again.

This time, he wants to try his luck with the mage!

..............

"Boss, over here, over here—"

In a coffee shop, the three little ones sat in a booth by the window. Li Xia casually ordered a drink and sat down, still deep in thought.
