Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

"Grandpa Xiong is here! Die, you little thief!"

The Bear Demon was shouting its own catchphrase.

Of course, this was its line; it only ever repeated this one phrase.

When Mingyu Divine Lord saw this Bear Demon Warrior, she realized Wang Yi’s jungling had yielded a reward.

Wang Yi received a system notification that the Bear Demon barracks was complete. ’Interesting,’ he thought. But he didn’t waste any time and soon discovered a giant rat.

This giant rat was the size of an elephant, with blood-red eyes and extremely high alertness. The moment Wang Yi spotted it, it spotted him too.

The giant rat was bold. Its tail, like a long whip, cracked through the air as it charged toward Wang Yi.

Wang Yi pointed a finger at it. Before it could get close, the Qiankun Universe Blade shot out from between his brows. A Starlight River surged forward for a thousand meters, instantly killing the giant rat!

The giant rat also dropped an item: a Guard Golem.

[Guard Golem: A special item. Upon use, a Level 150 giant rat statue guard will appear in your camp. This guard will automatically activate and engage in combat when enemies approach. If you collect all twelve Golems of the Twelve Zodiacs, the Golem level will increase by 50. Note: If this item is not used, it will disappear immediately upon leaving the team battle space.]

"Another Level 150 guard!"

Wang Yi used the [Guard Golem] on the spot, and another Golem Guard appeared in the valley camp.

After that, Wang Yi successively encountered a giant tiger, a giant snake, a giant ox, and more, obtaining a statue guard from each one he killed.

About an hour later, Wang Yi had collected nearly all the Twelve Zodiacs statue guards, with only the Zodiac Dragon’s statue guard remaining.

Riding a cloud, he continued onward. Before long, by a deep pool of water, Wang Yi discovered a coiled Divine Dragon, its level as high as 300!

However, this Giant Dragon was already in combat; a five-person squad was fighting it.

It was clearly an enemy squad, and among them were two "acquaintances"—none other than Qian Weiwei and Zhou Fangyi, who had asked Emperor Tathagata to team up in the teahouse. Right now, however, the two were acting as cheerleaders, shouting encouragement from the back instead of joining the fight.

The main fighter was a Level 320 Berserker named Lu Bo. He was quite fierce and seemed to be intentionally showing off for Qian Weiwei and Zhou Fangyi.

Additionally, a Level 280 Player was acting as a scout, keeping watch on the perimeter.

Wang Yi arrived riding on a cloud and didn’t hide his presence. The moment he spotted the five of them, the Player acting as the scout also spotted him.

"Oh no, their jungler showed up!"

"Damn it, is he trying to steal our kill?"

"Get ready to fight?"

"How many of them?"

"Looks like just one!"

"What’s his level? His gear?"

"Only Level 200, and he’s wearing a set of Battlefield Soldier Armor. Looks like cheap junk!"

"Hey, isn’t that the guy who wanted to carry us?"

"Haha, what a coincidence! To think our opponent is him!"

"Lu Bo, kill him!"

The five-person squad fell into brief disarray, then actually gave up on fighting the Divine Dragon and charged toward Wang Yi instead.

"Courting death!"

Wang Yi didn’t back down. With a soft shout, he flipped his palm, and a Five-Colored Mountain rapidly materialized in the sky.

The Five-Colored Mountain descended swiftly. With a deafening BOOM that shook the earth, it flattened the five people, a large swath of surrounding trees, the Giant Dragon, and the pool behind it. The very ground trembled.

With another wave of his sleeve, Wang Yi made the Five-Colored Mountain disappear. The Divine Dragon was killed, dropping a [Golem Guard]. Four of the five Players died, but Qian Weiwei was still alive. She wore a suit of armor that radiated a Seven-Colored light; it was clearly the reason she had survived.

"How... how is this possible? You team-wiped us in a single hit! Aren’t you a noob? You’re only Level 200, how can you have a skill like that?"

Qian Weiwei’s face was a mask of disbelief. She then cried out, "Spare me, sir! I’ll follow you from now on, what do you say?"

Wang Yi glanced at Qian Weiwei. "Foolish. Instead of running, you’re trying to switch sides?"

With that said, Wang Yi prepared to kill Qian Weiwei, but she hastily shouted again, "Sir, wait! Don’t you like Chaos Blind Boxes? I have some here! I’ll give them all to you, just don’t kill me..."

"Too late! On the battlefield, we fight to the death!"

Wang Yi had no intention of showing mercy. He pointed a finger, and the Qiankun Universe Blade appeared, transforming into a Starlight River that instantly engulfed Qian Weiwei.

Her armor was powerful, though, allowing her to hold on inside the Starlight River for a full two minutes before she finally vanished in a flash of light.

Upon her death, she even dropped an item: a Seven-Color Blind Box.

’She dropped a blind box. How interesting!’

Wang Yi stepped forward and picked up the Seven-Color Blind Box, along with the Zodiac Dragon’s Golem Guard. With that, he had finally collected the complete set of Twelve Zodiacs Golem Guards.

Back in the valley camp, the twelve zodiac statues lined up at the front flashed with light, and all of them were upgraded to Level 200.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the team battle space, on a patch of high ground, Lu Bo, Qian Weiwei, and Zhou Fangyi stood blankly beneath a hundred-meter-tall Battle Banner.

According to the team battle rules, as long as the Battle Banner stood, the match wasn’t decided. If a Player died, they would resurrect near their Battle Banner, but they would drop one level with each resurrection.

"Just now... what just happened? Did that noob just insta-kill us?"

Zhou Fangyi still didn’t seem to have processed what had happened.

Lu Bo said, "What noob? That guy’s skills are insane. He’s definitely an expert hiding his level. He’s playing weak to crush his opponents!"

After speaking, the Berserker actually walked over to the Battle Banner, took out a large axe, and started hacking away at it. THWACK! THWACK!

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"Why are you attacking our own Battle Banner?"

"Stop! If the Battle Banner falls, we lose! Our record will be wiped! We just got a five-win streak, for crying out loud!"

"What are you waiting for? The opponent is too strong. He can wipe us out in one move. If we don’t leave now, you want to wait for him to kill us a few more times? Let’s just get this over with, everyone!"

"Hmph, you suck! If I’d known you were this bad, I never would’ve let you carry!"

"Yeah, you made us lose our entire record..."

As the five Players squabbled, Lu Bo’s attack on their own Battle Banner didn’t stop. A moment later, the Battle Banner tilted and fell with a ground-shaking BOOM. Subsequently, Lu Bo and the other four vanished in a flash of light.

Once their Battle Banner fell, their fight was over. Although there were still two other teams in the team battle space, this match no longer concerned them.

Three li away, there were other camps—two of them, right next to each other.

Inside these camps, 10 Players were huddled together, not daring to venture out.

This was because Emperor Tathagata was blockading them from outside their camps.

Of the 10 of them, seven had already been killed once.

They were furious about the actions of Lu Bo’s five-man team.

"Well, I’ll be damned. Did they get wiped out, or did they just run away?"

"And here I was hoping those five would come and save us!"

"It’s over. The enemy is too strong. One guy is taking on all ten of us, and we don’t even dare to step outside our camp. How are we supposed to play this?"

"Let’s just surrender. If we keep playing, we’re just going to get killed again..."

After a brief discussion, the ten Players gathered around their respective Battle Banners and began unleashing their firepower on them.

A moment later, just as Wang Yi was about to open the Seven-Color Blind Box that Qian Weiwei had dropped, he suddenly received a system notification: "DING! All enemy Battle Banners have fallen. The battle is over. Congratulations on your victory. Win streak +1. Reward: one Hundred Battle Treasure Chest, 3,000 Star Yuan!"

As soon as the system notification ended, a wave of Teleportation Power swept over him. The scenery before Wang Yi blurred, and in an instant, he had returned to the plaza at Da Feng Cliff.

Emperor Tathagata and Mingyu Divine Lord were teleported back at the same time.

Emperor Tathagata shook his head and said, "That’s it? The opponents were way too weak. I barely got to kill anyone! That win was too easy, no thrill at all!"

Mingyu Divine Lord, however, walked toward a Battle Banner and said, "Let’s continue. We need to build up our win streak and get up the mountain as soon as possible."

She touched a Battle Banner, and it immediately began to glow with a Five-Colored light.

Wang Yi quickly received another system notification: "DING! Team battle triggered. Your next team battle will be a Legion War. As a Chaos Lord, you may mobilize your domain’s army and are granted special command privileges. Your opponent is the Tiger Dominator Legion, long lost to the river of history!"

"Huh? A legion war is next? I can mobilize my army?" A thought struck Wang Yi. ’My army... can I deploy the Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors?’
