Chapter 487: Capture The Prey!

“There are already a lot of zeroes.” Wang Ye looked at the Cosmic Stairway Board.
There were still three days left until the end of the third stage. Out of the 880,000 participants, nearly 100,000 had already been eliminated.
The reason for o points was simple. Those people had taken a gamble.
For example, the current 300,000th place had 146897 points.
Taking it as 150,000 points, contestants with less than 75000 points had to bet everything to advance.
Those were his target prey.
The main reason why they had no choice but to go all in was because they did not have enough tickets.
Either they had only one left of the three free tickets or added with the ten tickets they exchanged for, they only had one match left out of the thirteen matches.
This required a long period of attention.
Wang Ye had been paying attention to his potential prey since three days ago.
Calculating the rise and fall of their points, he could roughly calculate the number of matches they had undergone in the arena.
It wasn’t difficult to find those who were about to all in their points.
After all, the base number was huge.
There were contestants who were fighting for their lives at every moment.
Moreover, these participants were usually the weaker ones among the 880,000 people, which was why they were forced into a desperate situation.
He waited patiently, sifting through his prey like an experienced hunter.
The first battle was crucial.
Wang Ye didn’t choose the participants who used the free tickets because it was still early and they might still have HP.
However, someone who had used up all thirteen tickets must be a desperate gambler.
If he added the points that were doubled, the other party would be the best prey!
Wang Ye looked at Narson, who was originally ranked 764912 and was at the bottom. His points went from 38766 to 77532. The other party had used 12 of his 13 tickets, so Wang Ye decisively matched him.
They didn’t need to recover before entering the arena. As long as they entered, they would be at their peak during the battle.
Narson, who had just won a match and was full of morale, would most likely choose to pursue the victory and fight again.
[Bet: 77532.]
[Matchmaking…]
Wang Ye looked at his remaining 175699 points.
Not bad, his family background was solid.
Even if he didn’t have enough experience the first time and encountered a big shot, he could still rank within 300,000. He wouldn’t be crippled and fall into a passive situation.
That being said, he was still very confident.
The main bet now was when Narson would start matching.
The number of points he bet was not a problem.
Moreover, it was often difficult to have the exact same points when making a large bet.
The greater the difference, the longer the matching time would be. There would be a lot of buffer time.
After some time.
[Match successful.]
[This match’s opponent: Xishang Eternal Nation’s Narson.]
[Opponent’s current ranking: 698120.]
[Opponent’s battle record: 5 wins and 7 losses.]
[Points bet: 77532.]
[The match begins!]
The scene in front of him changed.
Wang Ye appeared in the starry sky, and the fatigue on his body instantly disappeared.
He had completely recovered from the consumption in the challenge space. His fighting spirit was boiling, and his bloodline was surging.
The prey he had been waiting for had finally appeared.
Narson, who was holding a giant hammer, was covered in flames.
With the momentum of a desperate situation, his fierce tiger-like eyes shone brightly as he attacked Wang Ye with a roar.
Boom!
Taishi Star Network.
Hundreds of millions of cosmic humans cheered for Wang Ye.
Everyone was ecstatic to see him trounce Narson.
Of his three matches in the arena, the first was victory!
“Beautiful! Take down the opponent! Wang Ye’s luck isn’t bad. His opponent isn’t strong this time.”
“What? This isn’t luck! Look carefully at the points that Wang Ye bet. It’s exactly the same as Narson’s remaining points. He planned before he acted, just to catch Narson!”
“Really? Is Wang Ye so cunni… No, scheming? How could he be sure Narson was also looking for a match?”
“He might have been paying attention to Narson’s movements. When Narson had one last match, he caught him!”
“I’ve told you that Wang Ye is very smart. He thinks further than any of you. You’ll know when you watch the next battle!”
In the personal lounge.
[Points: 330763]
[HP: 3]
[Rank: 36247]
Wang Ye looked at the increase in his points and smiled knowingly.
The gain of 77532 points was even more than the points he had obtained from challenge space N0.12.
Just as he had expected, Narson was very ordinary among the remaining 880,000 participants.
The method was feasible!
Wang Ye quickly began to search for his second prey.
He had paid enough attention.
It was like a fisherman casting a wide net, looking for a small fish with the highest success rate to attack.
There were still many participants, so there was a lot of room for choice.
He waited patiently.
Then, he locked onto a prey once again!
Wei’er Rinny of the Xuanxu Eternal Nation.
Unlike Narson, she originally had 148632 points, but she lost in the tenth battle.
She had 100,000 points remaining, dropping from 290,000 to 550,000.
She had suffered a tragic defeat but she was smarter than Narson.
At the very least, she knew that 148632 points were definitely not enough to advance past the third stage.
Her current ranking was nothing. She needed at least 200,000 points to be safe.
Therefore, in her last two matches, she chose to match two consecutively.
If she could win the 12th match, she would have more than 200,000 points and would not need to fight in the last match.
However, if she lost the 12th battle, she still had one more chance to fight!
“I’ll grant you your wish.” Wang Ye pressed “match”.
In an instant.
[Match successful.]
[This match’s opponent: Eternal Cloud Nation, Amoth.]
[Opponent’s current ranking: 35281.]
[Opponent’s battle record: 1 win 0 loss.]
[Points bet: 100000]
[The match begins!]
Wang Ye was speechless.
The chance variable in matching was indeed very high.
When he reappeared in the starry sky, Wang Ye quickly entered battle mode.
If he didn’t get the match he wanted, then he would fight.
Let’s see who’s tougher!
He also wanted to see what kind of strength a talent ranked 35281 had.
His top-rank stage 2 internal world was instantly released, going against the opponent’s advanced-rank stage 3 internal world.
The Tricolored Violet Seal was activated, and a vast amount of life force bloomed. The life force of the white flowers was shocking.
Amoth’s internal world turned into a sharp awl and stabbed at him.
Bang!
As soon as the battle started, both sides confronted each other head-on.
“There’s actually such a strong competitor from the cosmic nations?” Amoth was a little surprised.
To think his internal world attack was unable to gain the upper hand.
However, the toughness of his high-grade supreme treasure made his internal world incomparably solid, and he was able to hold his opponent off.
But suddenly, a golden arrow shot over. Combined with Time Twinkle, it instantly landed.
Peng! The originally stable internal world shook violently, and even his psyche fluctuated continuously. Amoth’s expression changed instantly.
A centaur-like cosmic beast galloped across the sky. Halos descended, and a time domain quickly enveloped him.
“Not good.” Amoth was shocked.
How could an ordinary cosmic nation’s contestant be so strong?
Fast!
Wang Ye’s attacks came like a storm.
He didn’t need to hold back when fighting in the arena like he did in the challenge space.
After all, the consumption of the four beast totem poles could be recovered in the next match, including the Great Ape Bloodburn Spell, which had the greatest side effect.
Go all out!
Thanks to the two battles with the Dark race Undying Lifeforms in the challenge space, Wang Ye knew exactly how to make use of his advantage.
He utilized his two fortes, his internal world and time attainment, to control the rhythm of the battle.
His current powerful supreme treasures were focused on these two fortes as well.
Coupled with his third forte, his super-strong close combat ability, his attack power could be unleashed to the extreme through the combination of Hellfire Devil Blade.
Before Amoth could even start to get into shape, he was already suppressed.
“God Ye is mighty! Too fierce!”
“I was scared to death. I thought he was going to be defeated after matching with such a strong opponent. I didn’t expect Wang Ye to be so awesome!”
“That’s right. Wang Ye fought challenge spaces No.11 and N0.12 consecutively and defeated the Dark race’s Undying Lifeforms. This is the Supernova Prodigy Tournament. No one can go far just by luck!”
“Go! Brother Ye! The eternal nations aren’t anything special!”
Sabers clashed, and lightning flashed in all directions.
Wang Ye and Amoth engaged in close combat.
The cosmic secrets of supreme treasures and indestructible artifacts intertwined.
Stage 8 and Stage 9 dark power collided. The white origin of thunder and the blue origin of lightning attacked one after another.
The Hellfire Devil Blade became more and more valiant as it fought, and the Reincarnation Slash Saber Technique was extremely domineering.
Wang Ye’s unity-phase saber intent reached its peak under the eruption of stage 9 Thunder Fusion Technique.
Chi! The Hellfire Devil Blade shattered Amoth’s supreme treasure armor.
At the same time, Amoth’s broadsword shattered Wang Ye’s Whitewheel Oblivion Armor, and white lightning struck the former.
The Hellfire Devil Blade was filled with endless killing intent, gradually suppressing Amoth’s attacks and gaining the upper hand.
The deathly energy of the hellfire devoured Amoth’s body.
The Time Cage that was filled with the blue origin of lightning made it even harder for Amoth to escape.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was a satisfying battle.
In the end, Wang Ye won with a slight advantage.
Amoth was very strong. Fighting him had been even more difficult than fighting in the challenge spaces.
His strength was hard to predict, and he had quite a number of supreme treasures to assist him.
If Wang Ye hadn’t taken advantage of the fact that the other party hadn’t gained a firm foothold to grasp the absolute upper hand from the start, the outcome would have been hard to predict.
Even so, his injuries were not light and he had consumed a lot of energy.
Fortunately, this was the arena, and he could instantly recover after every battle.
“The opponent matched this time is very close to me in ranking.” Wang Ye reviewed the battle. “If it’s not a coincidence, it means that the ranking might also affect the matching mechanism other than the points. Also, 100,000 points is too broad.”
Wang Ye learned from his experience.
The other competitors would usually choose to place their bets in whole numbers like 50000 or 100000 points.
That was why he had missed his target just now.
He could only say that the result was not bad.
This battle of evenly matched opponents was very satisfying.
“There’s still a long time. I can afford to be more cautious.” Wang Ye searched for his next target, carefully selecting them.
This time, he spent more time doing his homework.
The result was pretty good.
He defeated a contestant who was on the verge of desperation once again and pocketed 88,000 points.
“I got 2 out of 3. There’s no problem with the strategy.” Wang Ye opened his personal information.
[Points: 518215]
[HP: 3]
[Rank: 8351]
He had once again entered the top 10000, and after three consecutive victories, his points had doubled!
Wang Ye decisively spent 1 HP to exchange for 10 tickets and started a new round of hunting.
With just 500,000 points, he was naturally not satisfied.
Before the end of the third stage, he had to catch up and get a million points!
