Pula hurriedly opened the email.
The moment he clearly saw the name of his opponent in the hundredth life-and-death battle, he froze in place.
Thunder Emperor!
His opponent for the decisive hundredth battle… was actually the Thunder Emperor!
The Thunder Emperor—who had already achieved 995 consecutive victories!
Seeing that name was like having a bucket of icy water poured over his head.
"Who's the opponent?"
Seeing Pula's stiff expression, Nolanshan let out a cold snort.
"It's the Thunder Emperor… Jiang Yan," Pula said with a bitter smile.
"Thunder Emperor?"
"How could it be him? Didn't his life-and-death battle just yesterday list him as Stellar Rank Eight?"
Both the current patriarch, Yuke Nuo Lanshan, and the old patriarch exclaimed in shock.
They had personally watched Jiang Yan's match in the Virtual Universe the day before.
At that time, the Giant Axe Arena had publicly announced him as Stellar Rank Eight.
How could he have broken through to Stellar Rank Nine overnight?
"That just means he's only just broken through," Nolanshan said indifferently.
"He's a freshly advanced Stellar Rank Nine. Are you seriously afraid you're not his match?"
Pula's reaction deeply disappointed him.
Fear before the battle—
That was a warrior's greatest taboo.
At that moment, Nolanshan couldn't help but doubt how Pula's previous ninety-nine consecutive victories had even been achieved.
The Giant Axe Arena hosted true life-and-death battles.
Lives were the price.
Judging by Pula's current state, Nolanshan had lost all confidence that he could defeat Jiang Yan.
Someone who already harbored fear of his opponent—how could he possibly win?
A dream.
"Teacher, I—"
Seeing the disappointment in Nolanshan's eyes, Pula panicked.
"That's enough," Nolanshan interrupted coldly.
"Whether you're a mule or a horse—we'll know after the battle."
"When the life-and-death match begins, I will personally watch the livestream."
"Pula," he said solemnly, patting him on the shoulder,
"you are the pride of the younger generation of the Nuo Lanshan family, and my most valued disciple. I hope you do not disappoint me."
With that, Nolanshan turned and left the room.
"Teacher! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Pula shouted at his retreating back.
After returning to his cultivation chamber, Nolanshan logged into the Virtual Universe and opened the list of life-and-death battles from the past seven days, sent by the Giant Axe Arena.
He was instantly stunned.
The most-watched battle was between Domain Lords—
which was understandable, as Domain Lord-level life-and-death matches were extremely rare.
But the second most-watched battle—
Was the one just confirmed: Thunder Emperor vs. Pula.
And this had only been announced moments ago!
"How many people have already booked the livestream… one point six five million?!"
Nolanshan swallowed hard.
Was this really the Giant Axe Arena he remembered?
Since when did a mere star-level fighter command this kind of attention?
In an extremely short time, over one million people had paid to subscribe to Jiang Yan's upcoming life-and-death battle.
Anyone who had previously subscribed to Jiang Yan's matches was automatically notified and enrolled.
Using his authority as a Giant Axe Warrior, Nolanshan reviewed Jiang Yan's full combat record.
After a long silence, his brows knitted together.
"Luck is also a form of strength… This child has built unstoppable momentum."
"For Pula to defeat him—extremely difficult."
From the records alone, Jiang Yan's victories all looked narrowly won.
There was no obvious sign of deliberate concealment.
And yet—
Something felt wrong.
It reminded Nolanshan of himself when he had achieved 999 consecutive victories.
No matter who the opponent was, he had possessed absolute confidence—
the unshakable belief that he would win.
By the final matches, he had been unstoppable, crushing opponents of equal strength with ease.
"Baicaro," Nolanshan suddenly said,
"prepare immediately. We're going somewhere—quietly."
Without hesitation, he summoned his Universe-level disciple, boarded a spacecraft, and headed straight toward the galaxy's wormhole coordinates.
"Hmph," Nolanshan sneered.
"A mere star-level brat dares threaten the Nuo Lanshan family?"
"He's courting death."
On Jiang Yan's side.
After receiving the email from the Giant Axe Arena, he burst out laughing.
He had only tried his luck—
Who would have thought he'd actually be matched against Pula?
The Nuo Lanshan family truly seemed destined to fall into his hands.
It was likely that everyone in the Nuo Lanshan family was already panicking.
Even the battleground—
Still Prison Star.
As the life-and-death battle drew near—
Within the Virtual Universe, on Island 08921, the specially opened Giant Axe Arena plane—
Every seat in the arena was filled.
Every private box was occupied.
"Ladies and gentlemen from all universe nations!"
Before the battle began, the host's booming voice echoed throughout the arena.
"Allow me to once again introduce the combatants!"
"Thunder Emperor! Warrior! A super-genius with 995 consecutive victories!
Today, he has just broken through to Stellar Rank Nine, his realm not yet fully stabilized—yet he still dares to challenge an opponent in a life-and-death battle! Domain Level Two!"
"Pula · Nuo Lanshan! Warrior! Rising super-genius!
He has been at Stellar Rank Nine for many years, his realm fully stable, and has also mastered Second-Level Domain!
Ninety-nine consecutive victories—every opponent crushed without exception!"
"Who is stronger, who is weaker—make your own judgment!"
"The betting window is now open—time is limited!"
"Pula · Nuo Lanshan wins at odds of 1:7.65!"
"The Thunder Emperor wins at odds of 1:1.81!"
"Five minutes remaining! Please complete your bets!"
The thunderous voice reverberated through the arena.
Inside one of the private boxes, the group from Earth gathered.
"This Giant Axe Arena is really something," Thor laughed.
"They deliberately raise the Third Brother's odds and emphasize that he just broke through and has an unstable realm."
"This kind of leek-harvesting marketing tactic is on par with those so-called 'entrepreneurs' from before Earth's Great Nirvana."
Hong nodded in agreement.
Countless viewers would be misled into betting on Pula—
But they wouldn't fall for it.
They bet only on Jiang Yan.
Janet and the others had already placed ten mixed yuan units on Jiang Yan without hesitation.
At this point, in the Dry Witch Universe Nation, they were all standard rich ladies.
"Betting is now closed!"
"The life-and-death battle is about to begin!"
As the announcement ended, projections appeared in the center of the arena.
Prison Star.
"Begin."
High above the planet, the supervisor in golden battle armor spoke calmly.
"Thunder Emperor!"
Pula shouted coldly, murderous intent blazing in his eyes.
"Today, I will avenge Ronnie with my own hands and settle all old and new debts!"
Yet as he stared at Jiang Yan's utterly calm expression—
An unexplainable fear quietly rose in his heart.
A fear he himself had not yet realized.
