Chapter 563 Final Round!
Liam lifted the sword and casually slashed it at the tree nearby. In a single hit, the tree was easily sliced into two halves.
"Let me take a look at the stats." He stopped swinging the sword and opened the status screen.

"This is a huge improvement compared to before." Liam was satisfied. He ran his fingers on the sharp edge of the sword. The new active skill could be very powerful if he used it properly.
But… though the attributes b.u.mp was good and the new skill was first cla.s.s, there was still something that was bothering him.
The weapon was a bit uncomfortable in his hands. It was not fully submitting to him.
Liam gazed at the sword for a moment before a cold look flashed past his eyes. It was not perfect, but the power he wielded right now was more than enough to handle the PVP tower tournament.
He looked forward to the rematch between himself and the thief. He wanted to see if he could break that guy"s technique this time around.
As if channeling the feeling in his heart, the sword also lightly thrummed.
"So you are not completely rejecting me, huh?" He sheathed the sword with a smile and placed the stone tablet back into the inventory slot.
He then waved at Luna, the duo walking out of the alchemy training room. They entered the elevator and headed straight for the tournament floor.
It was time for the last showdown.
The elevator dinged open right onto the tournament floor, and this time there was barely any crowd. There were only ten players on the whole floor.
Mia nodded at Liam, and Derek as well did the same, the two of them looking like ice cubes. Neither showed any signs of nervousness about the fight.
Heh. Liam grinned and walked over. The three of them sat in the corner of the auditorium. Opposite them, four other players huddled together.
"They should be the ones with the drake mounts. I bet they are not too pleased with us." Liam mumbled as he sat down.
Luna had single-handedly caused one of their teammates to get kicked out. So one didn"t have to guess that they would want some revenge.
"We lost two. They lost one. We should be the ones who are not pleased." Mia chimed in. She even looked slightly annoyed, which was rare for her.
In truth, no one was pleased with such a round because it caused a lot of commotion and did not really measure the player"s talent.
Rather it measured their luck and who had a better mount. However, luck was also a talent, and Liam knew this well. He did not reply anything and continued to look at the other players on the floor.
Apart from the seven of them, there were also three other mysterious players. No one knew what guild or kingdom these guys belonged to. The information on them was completely non-existent.
These were the main three players Liam had his eyes on as well.
As the whole group eyed each other in silence, trying to measure up their opponents and gauge their level, the fourth and the last round was finally announced.
Both inside the tower and outside the tower, everyone watching and waiting for this immediately perked up.
However, the next second, everyone gasped in shock. This announcement gave an even greater shock than any of the previous rounds.
Immediately, an uproar spread across the gathered players outside the tower. Dying inside the game was a huge deal at the moment, so obviously, many players were not pleased with this announcement.
But the next second, as realization dawned on them, they were secretly pleased. They were not partic.i.p.ating. It was only those ten top players!
Many loved the fact that these insanely overpowered and lucky players had to die at least one if not many times. Finally, there was justice in this world!
Misery loves company, so many smiling faces in the crowd could be seen. Only the faces inside the tournament were not as happy.
Liam also had a cold expression on his face. This single announcement just raised the bar for this tournament high, not because of the possibility of death but because now he could potentially drop something if he dies.
This was the real hidden message in this announcement.
And just like him, Mia as well realized this subtext. "Liam, what about that stone tablet? If you want, I can tap out and take some of your valuables to store them for you temporarily."
"No," Liam shook his head. "I doubt that is possible."
"Hmmm. I don"t think so." Mia mumbled while simultaneously pulling up a trade window when she noticed that the window was grayed out. So no one would be able to trade anything.
"If worse comes to worst, we can always concede?" She suggested, but Liam once again shook his head. "If I am not wrong, even that shouldn"t be possible."
