Doomsday Roulette

Ye Zhongming's bloodline was still activating, but he did not have as impressive an entrance ceremony as the Hawkins couple. What he had was, as usual, an unyielding fearlessness.

The two sides tacitly rushed towards the nearest small island, where they could better unleash their full combat power. Ye Zhongming believed the same; although his side had the sea king mark, it was still impossible to fully unleash their strength. Since today would ultimately be a fight to the death, everyone should do their best.

Upon reaching the island, the Hawkins couple frowned slightly, as the opponents clearly did not intend to separate but instead formed a rather tight formation.

What were they doing?

At their level, being nine-star, even without the familiar equipment boosting their skills, their power was significantly reduced. However, in a real fight, the impact would still be substantial. If they all crowded together, they would inevitably be greatly affected.

Could it be that these guys had learned some team enhancement techniques?

Hawkins recalled that there were indeed similar products for sale in the official store, but even the top-ranked individual couldn’t afford them, so Ye Zhongming and his group couldn't possibly have obtained them.

So what was the formation for? To show unity?

They naturally didn’t know that Ye Zhongming's side was going to utilize the combined water chain.

Ye Zhongming admitted that if the Hawkins couple fought separately, their strength might be slightly lower than his, but the difference was absolutely minimal—extremely tiny.

This was not hard to understand.

Yes, he was a reborn individual, but he only had the advantage of a six-star prophet from before. As for others, their fortunes, or what could be called their 'golden fingers', still existed and were likely not worse than his. He was already very satisfied to have reached the peak of nine-star in just under seven years.

In fact, Ye Zhongming felt that when it came to individual combat power, he should be the strongest on Earth.

In his past life, he had been merely a six-star evolver for ten years. Being able to become the strongest on the planet in such a short time after rebirth was quite an achievement. Expecting others to be weak enough to be easily defeated would be excessive.

That would be overestimating himself and underestimating everyone else.

Just like the Hawkins couple, although Ye Zhongming didn’t know them well, he had learned that they belonged to a force called Treasure Island. During his rest, he had sent Jie Kui to gather some information. This force was neither large nor small; it was not similar to the Su Clan of Lena Planet but rather an alliance formed by several medium-sized forces, regarded as a big clan among the All Races of the Universe, though its internal structure was somewhat complex.

The Hawkins couple seemed to be the key figures they were nurturing.

Undoubtedly, when combined, their strength would surpass Ye Zhongming.

However, with the combined water chain defense, Ye Zhongming was confident he could take them on.

He would face off against the Hawkins couple, while the others would confront Wade and Yaka.

Ye Zhongming knew both of these opponents as well; their strength was slightly inferior to that of the Hawkins couple, but not by much, similar to the slight difference between the Hawkins couple and himself.

Individually speaking, neither Jie Kui nor Husky could match them. Shikangbu and Yangtua were even a bit weaker. However, with Qiuqiu’s help and the assistance of the combined water chain, the two could still have a chance against one.

In Ye Zhongming’s view, the key to breaking the deadlock in this small-scale life-and-death team battle did not lie with him, but rather with the remaining individuals.

Shikangbu had previously been knocked out cold by a spinning fish head. He had received treatment for external and internal injuries, and though he had regained consciousness and his external injuries had fully healed thanks to the water treatment, he still needed time to recover internally. He was now able to fight, but his combat power was estimated to be only one-third of his peak condition.
