Chapter 664: First Match at the Immortal League
--
A few weeks passed, and before long, Cedric was once again promoted in the arena.
He still maintained his perfect win streak, but this wasn’t so rare that he got something out of it.
Now, he’s participating in the Immortal League, meaning that his opponents were all Immortal Level experts from all over the Heavenly Star Chaos Realm. Also, this was the pinnacle rank of what one could achieve in the Virtual Arena.
There is no more demotion or promotion at this stage. It’s just fights as much as one desires. The win ratio of participants also doesn’t matter too much aside from gambling.
Reaching this stage, Cedric slowed down. Unlike at the lower ranks that he essentially speedran, he was more inclined to pause and observe the matches here.
With the Heavenly Star’s Millennial Tournament coming up, he viewed everybody here as his potential competitor. Watching their matches was a way of gathering intelligence ahead of time, especially because he planned on joining the upcoming tournament a few months in the future.
Moreover, Cedric still has a lot to learn. Immortal Level fights aren’t something that people could witness regularly. In fact, it takes a special kind of privilege for members of the virtual arena to watch Immortal Level matches, one that is not accessible to common folk.
Obviously, as a Scarlet VIP of the Golden Bangle Bank, Cedric already has this privilege from the start, but he limited himself to prevent spoilers. It wasn’t until he reached this level that he allowed himself to watch these high-level matches.
Now that he’s here, Cedric took his time. He wasn’t picky either; no matter how trashy one’s win ratio was, he’d still watch it at his leisure to see if he could learn something useful.
And this turned out to be a good idea, because by doing this, Cedric learned a few neat tricks and lessons that elevated his overall combat efficiency by 10%.
Don’t look down on that 10%; at the Immortal Level, that is already considered as a sharp increase in his power, which he essentially got for free.
