Chapter 1573: It's Not A Battle Royal 2

Tang Shaoyang figures turned into four as he rushed toward them. Each of them had the manifestation of the white tiger as well. As he moved toward the eight, each of them left afterimages as they rushed toward the eight. It looked like there were a lot of Tang Shaoyang.

The female elf who had good eyes tried to spot which the real one was. But she quickly found it was just impossible. It was the exact same copy, as if the other three were actually, "I can't spot the real one, or maybe all of them are real!" She warned her team.

"Okay, you can call me a coward, but I will not fight him!" The man who suggested running from Tang Shaoyang made up his mind, "I will find another way to acquire the Administrator Class!" After saying that, the man surrendered. It was followed by the female elf and his other two who were at the same party with him. The four surrendered before they tried to fight Tang Shaoyang.

"We will fight!" The leader of the second party raised his voice. He put himself forward and used transformation. The scales covered his whole, his eyes turned yellow, and his aura got stronger as well. Then he formed a green barrier around his team members.

His team members were also transformed. As the barrier formed around them, they were ready to launch their counterattack.

Tang Shaoyang's target was this party from the start. His right hand was covered in the dark gold heavenly energy. The energy swirled around on his entire right arm. Then he used the Heavenly Crushing Strike on the leader of the party. And of course, he applied Energy Domination Energy. As his fist was an inch away from the green barrier, the barrier was dispersed.

The party expected a big impact from the clash against the barrier. However, they were not expecting the barrier would crumble before the fist touched the barrier. There was no impact as the barrier looked like it was destroyed from the inside. Of course, the one who shocked me the most was the person who set up the barrier.

Four of them froze on the spot, and Tang Shaoyang's fist hit the chest of the party leader. His fist went through his chest to the back. Then he followed with his left hand, Heavenly Shattering Palm.

Splat!

The party leader's head shattered and died in the second attack. The three snapped out of the shock and tried to get away from Tang Shaoyang. What happened to them was too fast, and they were still shocked by how their party member died. Because of that, they forgot what the female elf told them earlier, there were four presences behind them.

Karoen, Orlean, and Maldros took one each, catching them from behind. They caught them defenseless and killed them in a split second. It was not a fight, but a hunt. That was the reason why Tang Shaoyang told them to split up. This was a hunt, the same thing as the first stage, but the target was not Calamity.

Tang Shaoyang checked his points after storing the bodies in his inventory. He got 905 points for killing six people and four surrenders. Unfortunately, there was no ranking list to see who was on the top. He was curious if he was on the top or if there was someone else above him.

He shrugged and motioned to his spirits to keep moving, "Let's continue the hunt, guys!"

Just as they were about to move, a notification rang in his head.

[The barrier will shrink in one minute! Stay inside the barrier or you will be disqualified from the trial!]

After the notification, a map appeared in front of him. The map showed his location. He was the red dot, and there was a big circle, but the circle was quite far from him. He was close to the center of the circle. Unfortunately, the map did not show the others' whereabouts. That would be helpful if he could see where the others were.

"If the battleground shrinks, then will we all end up in one small area? Should I just wait here?"

Eventually, the others would have to move to the center of the map. They would come to him as the barrier shrunk. There was no need for him to look for them, so letting them come to him might be a good idea.

[No! We need to end this trial quicker for Ophelius and Ophelia!] Avyn immediately protested.

Tang Shaoyang did not know how fast the barrier shrunk, but the battle royal might last more than one day if he waited for the barrier. It was maybe because a few hours might be too fast to conclude this long trial.

"Alright, let's continue the hunt then."

As he moved up, he warned his spirits not to cross out of the barrier if they ever saw the massive barrier. He did not know if his spirits were outside the barrier would count as him on the outside barrier as well. He would not take the chance or even try it. That was why he warned them before Doombringer did something stupid like chasing people to the outside barrier.

The trial continued and his points steadily increased. Most of the points came from Doombringer's team. He barely found participants from his side of the area.

At first, he took it slow, then he started to run around after not finding anyone for a long time. With his Chaos Eyes, he could not miss the others. At first, he found one or two parties in one hour. As he continued to look for more of them, he could not find them, at all. He tried to use the map that only appeared once in one hour, trying to venture to the area where he had not gone yet. But it was futile, after nine hours, he could not find a single soul. Not even a monster or calamity, nothing.

It was awfully suspicious, and as he suspected, the circle shrunk slowly. After ten hours, the area in the circle was still big. Fortunately, Doombringer managed to find the other participants from the other side.

"This is so suspicious. How is it possible that I can't find anyone?"

It was so frustrating. He had been moving around for ten hours, but he only fought three parties. The first party, and two more after. Those three parties were the only parties he fought. Even until he finally found the barrier, right at the edge of the battleground, he could not find anyone.

It was as if the other participants knew his exact location and had been avoiding the range of his Chaos Eyes as well. He had no choice but to return to the center of the map.

On the way to the center of the map, he heard the unexpected in his head.

[Your spirit, Muri the Helion Cyclop was killed!]

[Your spirit, Suri the Helion Cyclop was killed!]

[Your spirit, Zuri the Elemental Cyclop was killed!]

[Your spirit, Nuri the Elemental Cyclop was killed!]
