to concede defeat witnessing this
several players with lower strength
values voluntarily withdrew but a
handful of determined Souls stepped up
only to meet failure as well Lu Jan
hastily approached warmed up and
attempted to lift the axe for the first
time but it remained immovable
undeterred he tried again this time time
using all his might and managed to
loosen the axe slightly though he could
not lift it entirely reluctantly he too
had to give up gon G curious about Lu
Jan's strength value used a skill card
to check discovering it to be a
staggering 70 points what on Earth had
he consumed a grow so strong glancing at
her own attributes Gian noted her base
strength value of 32 which with the
gloves double enhancement totaled 64 far
from sufficient to lift the sky
openening axe based on Lu Gan s
performance it appeared one would need
at least 80 strength points to succeed
point one by one others stepped up to
try all meeting the same fate of failure
Gian quietly positioned herself behind
tenang Yen took out a strength potion
and drank it in one gulp her base
strength temporarily Rose to 42 totaling
84 with the enhancement the effects of
the temporary strength potion would last
only 10 minutes so Gian G hurried to the
front and approached the sky opening axe
gripping the axe firmly with her right
hand she took a deep breath and
struggled to lift it off the post thanks
to Lu Jan having already loosened it she
faced minimal resistance the mere fact
that she could Elevate the axe Drew
gasps of astonishment from the crowd lug
Chuan stared at her in disbelief how
could this be possible G on G inhaled
deeply once more and lifted the sky
opening axe triumphantly heo her
surprise the axe felt remarkably lighter
now no longer the cumbersome weight it
had been before The Spectators remained
in shock while the master Craftsman
approached with a smile applauding her
remarkable who would have thought a
woman could possess such formidable
strength truly astonishing I declare the
victor of this round to be number 008 G
on G exhaled in relief at last she had
won a around and not just any round but
one presided over by the master
Craftsman bringing her closer to her
dream of acquiring a weapon Lu Gan
gritting his teeth glared at Moran and
demanded who exactly is she Le Moran
trembled replying I have no idea I
thought she was merely a lucky woman
before Gian G could Revel in her Victory
the sky openening axe was collected back
and she realized her hopes of being
gifted it were misplaced even if it had
been bestowed upon her the effects of
the strength potion would eventually
wear off exposing her weakness the Elder
returned to address the crowd stating
next we shall proceed to the final
segment luck this is the simplest round
of all after he finished speaking a
woman in a white gown approached
carrying a platter containing a bamboo
tube filled with numerous sticks each
inscribed with a player's number finally
a segment I can participate in my luck
seems to be holding don't be naive how
many here are truly unlucky those with
poor Fortune wound and te have made it
this far others chimed in after the
elders introduction number 009s brow
suddenly furrowed for reasons unknown
next the mountain God shall draw the
lucky participant the Elder presented
the platter to the mountain God who
however did not immediately select a
stick merely observing the crowd's
reactions excitement anxiety and calm
acceptance were etched on the faces of
those present gon G produced a lucky
coin and decisively used it surely in
the face of absolute strength luck could
also be manipulated moments later the
mountain God selected a stick and handed
it to the Elder the winner of this round
is number 0 07 Gian G felt a twinge of
annoyance against the backdrop of
