"So what are you saying?"

This time, the member of the Youlu Association did not answer; his figure suddenly dissipated.

A new figure appeared at this moment.

The ninth round of the game began.

Eight small doors emerged on the desktop, towering mountains rose from the surface, and white mist turned into clouds floating above.

This round was a war game.

Each round, you could select a random level of troops from one door, different troop types countered each other.

The strength of different troops was also affected by the terrain and randomly changing weather.

There were three ways to win.

1. Crush the opponent's main city.

2. If no winner is decided after 200 rounds, the side with more Life Value of the main city wins. If the Life Value is the same, compare the comprehensive levels of remaining troops.

3. Find the God's cheating method.

This round of the game increased in complexity.

There was too much to compute: weather, troops, terrain, troop arrangement, resource control, and more.

After reading the rules description, Song Hao's mind only had two words: cheat.

After trying 15 rounds, Song Hao lost three resource points, and his main city was forcibly docked by one point of Life Value due to stealth burst troops.

At this point, the initiative was in the hands of the Youlu Council member; as long as a defensive strategy was adopted, dragging to 200 rounds could win.

Facing the inevitable defeat, he could only seek Brother Guide's help.

"Brother Guide, I'll leave it to you then."

But this time, Guidance did not answer with a cheating scheme.

"Brother Guide?" Song Hao asked again.

[The opponent had modified this round's game rules before the start, and this time it did not use any hidden cheating tricks.]

Upon hearing this, the smile on Song Hao's face froze.

The laughter in the live broadcast room was even more apparent.

It was clear the Youlu Council member had realized that while cheating methods significantly increased their chances of winning, each failure in the game against Song Hao was due to the cheating methods being discovered, hence changing the strategy.

They decided to engage Song Hao in a duel with real skill and luck.

This meant that the only way Song Hao could win this round of the game was by defeating the opponent with his own strength.

"Damn, you're actually not cheating?!"

After discovering the truth, Song Hao stood up suddenly, pointing at the Youlu Council member with an angry expression.

"You have 129 seconds of thinking time left; if time ends and you haven't acted, you will be seen as giving up this round's movement."

Song Hao heard this and was devastated.

The opponent actually played the game without cheating, deciding to crush him with skill, which was too much.

Not engaging the technology was simply disgraceful!

Originally planning to easily take down this game round, now with the opponent not engaging, he couldn't do it either.

At this point, Song Hao could only choose to tackle the game head-on.

Besides technology, each round also contained substantial randomness.

He still had a chance to win through luck.

Ten minutes later, Song Hao looked at the surging army of troops advancing towards the main city with a dejected expression.

Faced with the fierce offensive, the main city's Life Value numbers plummeted visibly, eventually falling to zero.

At this moment, the member of the Youlu Association sitting opposite him also revealed his true form, nodding to him:

"We will be taking charge of your clan soul."

This sentence, as heard by Song Hao and the players in the live broadcast room, could be translated to: Next, I'm going to annihilate your entire clan.

With these words, a ray of Liu Guang suddenly struck from above, hitting Song Hao's chest.

Without even feeling pain, Song Hao turned into a black mist and dissipated.

Meanwhile, a clan imprint surfaced before the member of the Youlu Association.

It was circular in shape, bordered by a circle of intricate silver lines, and in the center, a scarlet fire burned.

After flipping through the clan imprint in hand, the duel scene collapsed with a roar, and the member of the Youlu Council looked up at the spatial vortex above.

Beside him, dozens of ghostly blue figures also emerged.

These figures then simultaneously transformed into streams of light, flying towards the spatial vortex.

However, during the transit through the space tunnel, the member of the Youlu Association suddenly sensed something amiss.

A strong energy fluctuation emerged at the other end of the space, so strong it left them incredulous.

Boom!

A scarlet flame flashed through the tunnel.

In an instant, the senses of dozens of Youlu Council members became muddled, and their minds conjured illusions.

A majestic and blurry figure appeared, its body towering beyond imagination, seemingly bridging the heavens and the earth. Every inch of its skin exuded endless majesty, a Primordial Power that could cause all things in the world to willingly submit, its eyes like two suspended blazing suns, seemingly perceiving the rules of the world's operation. Just one glance plunged the Youlu Council members into inescapable terror.

The fear brewing in their hearts bubbled over, like boiling water trying to burst free from bodily shackles.

At this moment, they suddenly realized they had made a mistake, that the entity backing the cheating guy was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

But just as their consciousness was about to be devoured by fear, the space tunnel ahead suddenly split into two paths, diverting them, and the illusion in their minds dissipated along with it.

Before escaping the shadow of death, the members of the Youlu Council had a flood of information appear in their minds.

The members in the first space channel received the following information:

[Welcome to the Death Arena, the Ultimate Trial of Strength. In this Domain created by the Ancient God, you will face powerful opponents from all over the world and even other worlds. Every victory will bring you substantial rewards, while failure means paying with your Life.]

With the voice of Guidance ringing in the minds of the Youlu Council members, the Ancient God Arena and the Jile Palace welcomed a new group of guests.
