Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2414 Come on, let's play again, play with me a little longer!

The midday sun poured down like a furnace.

The city, a battleground in a summer climate zone, was baked by the sweltering heat.

A group of thirteen people were walking slowly along the winding stone-paved street.

The carved windows of the oak houses on both sides cast interlaced shadows under the blazing sun.

The seemingly ancient medieval European city landscape.

It blends surreal technological elements with a mysterious magical feel.

On the left, in the shop window, there are wands with various magic crystals inlaid on the top, or short wands made of different materials.

On the right side were various weapons, each gleaming with a cold light and marked with basic information: swords, clubs, axes, hooks, and forks—you name it.

The group continued forward into the heart of the city.

Although it was daytime.

The taverns along the street were already bustling with people.

The aroma of drinks and food mingled with hearty laughter, overflowing from the store.

The strange mist emanating from the potion shop intertwines with the unique atmosphere of the marketplace.

【boom----】

Then a huge explosion came from afar, but no one paid any attention.

A young man wearing a satin cloak and with a magic wand hanging at his waist was still intently looking at the virtual screen on the back of his right hand, looking somewhat worried.

"Elder Gerhard, what are those things they're wearing on their wrists?"

The water dragon in the group asked curiously, seeing that everyone here had that thing.

They were the Martial Arts Association group who had just arrived in Duel City.

Led by Gerhard, who was familiar with the area, followed by Bangu, Shuilong, and Shuihu.

And after obtaining the first merit point, exchange it for 'Zero Magic Life-Extending Serum' as soon as possible.

He extended his lifespan by a hundred years, successfully returning to his prime. He was a martial arts master who served as a protector for various sects, including Kanzaki Kotetsu and Raimon Goten.

After all, for people in their sixties and seventies, nothing is more important than lifespan.

They have already registered at the Adventurers' Guild headquarters to participate in the 'Top 100 Competition'.

However, the preliminary selection will not begin until June.

So, following the suggestion of the guild leader, I came to check out this Duel City.

Please register the duelist's identity while you're at it.

"That's called the Duelist Bracelet. It can check your own ranking, battle record, duel time and location, or the ranking of others, whether the information is hidden."

"It also has normal network connectivity, communication, alert, and distress call functions."

"It's a smart device specifically designed for duelists. After you register your identity in the office lobby, it will be issued to you as long as you pay 1,000 Berries."

As he spoke, Elder Gerhard rolled up his right sleeve, revealing his duelist's bracelet.

He then pulled out the nameplate from his pocket, a smug smile on his face:

"Look, I'm at Platinum rank now. If I didn't have so much time to come here, I probably would have reached Emerald by now!"

He activated his bracelet and brought up the 'Ranking Leaderboard'.

Bang, Suiryu, and the others immediately noticed that Cyrus was listed first, with his rank information also displayed.

Radiant Jade II, 56 points.

"It's Mr. Cyrus! But why don't I see the name of the Green Pepper Association President?"

Bang glanced at the top ten below and noticed that there were no green peppers.

Elder Gerhard said as he walked, "Because many top experts, including the president, did not come."

"I don't know what they're thinking, maybe they're just not interested."

"But don't be disappointed, there are plenty of strong individuals below the rank of general here."

"Whether they are warriors, swordsmen, ninjas, magicians, Devil Fruit users, or psychics."

"Anyone who enjoys fighting will basically come here."

The twelve people behind him nodded in agreement. They had indeed seen a lot of people along the way, and their attire and auras were quite diverse.

From time to time, mages riding brooms or ninjas leaping between rooftops would fly overhead.

There are also many strange-looking alien races that are generally regarded as monsters in the hero world.

Orcs, elves, dwarves, merfolk, winged people, and so on.

It's too much.

The sheer number of people in this Duel City is probably second only to Stargate City.

However, the average combat strength per person is definitely higher than the latter.

"It's the dueling arena again. No wonder I can hear the sounds of battle everywhere."

Shuihu watched with great interest as the hammer and sword clashed repeatedly in the arena.

A dwarf strongman and a bear fur tribe youth, their flames and electricity violently intertwined.

"This city has a total of one hundred small dueling arenas, a central large dueling arena that can usually be divided into fifty smaller arenas, forty ground dueling arenas scattered throughout the city, and ten aerial dueling arenas."

Elder Gerhard pointed to the ten small floating islands overhead.

"Nevertheless, duelists who book the venue each day have to wait for a while."

"Generally speaking, duels are divided into two types: waiting for artificial intelligence to match you with an opponent of the same skill level, or challenging and arranging a duel yourself."

"Specific information will be sent through this bracelet."

Bang laughed after hearing this, "That sounds like a great place. It looks like the next two months won't be boring."

"Of course, in our starfish world, anything can happen, but we'll never be boring!"

Elder Gerhard proudly raised his chin, but in his heart he was also filled with emotion.

As a starfish person, he knew very well.

All the changes we see today have occurred in just ten short years.

The starfish of ten years ago and the starfish of today are like two completely different worlds.

"Hahahaha~"

"Come on, let's keep fighting!"

"Please stay and play with me a little longer!"

"Thunder Magic: Swift Thunder Collapse!"

"This is so much fun!"

The thirteen men passed by the second dueling arena.

Then they heard a young boy's laughter coming from inside.

However, due to the large number of onlookers, the situation inside the venue could not be seen.

They could only turn their gaze away and continue walking towards the city center.

at the same time.

Lak, who had only recently arrived in the starfish world from the Black Grass World, was using 'Thunder Magic: Thor's Boots'.

It transformed into streaks of blue-white lightning that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

They ran wildly around in an area that was 100 meters long and 50 meters wide.

His opponent was a beautiful female vampire with silver hair.

Judging from her use of the 'Crimson Pool' to escape into it and avoid the bombardment of dozens of lightning orbs,

He is clearly a vampire of the baron rank.

However, everyone present could see that she wouldn't last long.

The gap in strength is too large.

really.

When the female vampire reappeared, she was instantly struck by a bolt of lightning.

He was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the light screen at the edge of the arena.

He coughed up blood and collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Is this all there is to vampires?"

"So weak, not satisfying at all!"

Lak looked at his opponent, who lay dead in front of him, unable to fight any longer, with a displeased expression and complained.

[Duelist Lak Portia has emerged victorious. Congratulations! You have risen to Unyielding Silver V with 7 points.]

Lark's gaze was immediately drawn to the bracelet: "Have I reached Silver? Hopefully, the opponents at this rank will be stronger."

"How could that be? Didn't we say that before?"

Magna, exuding a hoodlum vibe and wearing sunglasses, strolled over with a nonchalant air.

"With our strength, we'll probably have to reach the Gold or Platinum rank before we encounter any troublesome opponents!"

He then looked at the female vampire who had begun receiving treatment from the medical ninja and retorted:
"You really don't hold back, do you? You hit so hard."

Lark grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "But she's still alive."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sky suddenly plunged into darkness, followed by a burst of colorful light.

This scene caused all the duelists in the city to stop what they were doing and stare in astonishment at the pillar of light that was gradually taking shape in the distance.

what happened? !
