"Hello, welcome to battle shop. What do you wish to buy?" The shop manager named Flora asked him politely. 

Wil replied, "Show me the list of available items."

Flora then took out a book and handed it to him.

As soon as Wil touched it, a holographic screen that contains a list of items and their prices appeared before his eyes.

Equipment:

Level 50-200, Random Gold grade equipment box – 25 battle coins

Level 50-200, Gold grade equipment box class – 50 battle coins

Level 100-200, Chosen gold grade equipment box – 150 battle coins

Chosen gold grade equipment box user's level – 250 battle coins

Level 50-200, Random Epic grade equipment box – 1000 battle coins

Level 50-200, Epic grade equipment class – 2000 battle coins

Level 100-200 Chosen Epic grade equipment box – 5000 battle coins

Growth type Random Epic grade equipment box level 300 max - 10000 battle coins

Growth type Random Legendary grade equipment level 200 max – 25000 battle coins

Growth type Legendary grade equipment class level 200 max – 50000 battle coins

Growth type Chosen Legendary grade equipment class level 200 max – 100000 battle coins

"Hmm, I have around 50K battle coins. So, all I can afford two random legendary-grade types of equipment or one class-oriented equipment?

Well, legendary-grade equipment is indeed a game-changer in the upcoming rounds.

But, the first one is just a gamble. I may not get what I need in the end and both of them can turn out useless.

So, the most viable option here is the class-oriented which may not guarantee what kind of equip but definitely guarantees a suitable one for me.

Who knows, maybe I might even get a Bow from the box. With the remaining points, I can buy a pet slot as I planned.

But, if I reach rank number 1, then, it'll become worthless in the end because I can't sell it. How about checking the remaining list in the resources and special section. Then, we can compare whether it's worth or not."

After thinking for a long time, Wil chose two pet slots, 5 mana recovery scrolls, a random peak grade skill book, and finally, one limit-break stone, which is something that lets any equipment increase its enhanced limit by 5 with a 100% chance.

At 5:30 p.m. EST, the system sent a world-wide notification again.

*Ding. World Battle Tournament Round-128 will start in 30 minutes. All participants must enter the portal and get ready before their match starts.

Even though the matches are already decided, the order in which the matches are completely random. So, participants have no choice but to enter the portal and wait for their turn in the white space.

*Ding. The first match is between group-16's Format and group-113's Reviewer.

As all the battle arenas are filled with an audience, the first match began to play in all the big screens.

Meanwhile, the betting system is also opened in which the audience can bet on their favorites. 

As for how the betting system works, first, the system will rate after comparing their stats. In other words, the system will predict who will win the match.

After every match, there will be a 5-minute gap and between this period, the audience can check the rates and bet before the match starts. Once the match is over, the system will send the money to their inventory according to the rates. 

In the battle arena of East Ocean city, every audience who was on Time Traveler's side bet on him to not only support him but also they believed he would win easily.

Even the players belong to the guilds of Resistance bet on Time Traveler after they saw the system rating that shows Time Traveler is 1:1.2 while his opponent, Funky Kid has 1:3.

Those who hope for the miracles bet on his opponent to get rich.

Looking at the betting rate, Aster spent all of his 520 gold and placed the bet on Wil. 

After 12 matches, Wil finally got the notification from the system.

*Ding. Your match is going to start in 20 seconds. Get ready.

20 seconds later, Wil stood before his opponent, an elf race Knight.

As soon as the match started, Wil raised his bow and conjured an ice arrow before shooting at him.

Instead of dodging, Funky Kid raised his shield and used the complete block skill.

A glow appeared on the shield for a second before disappearing.

Just like the skill name, the shield indeed completed blocked the damage of Ice arrow. But, what he didn't expect that the freezing effect was activated upon the contact between the ice arrow and the shield, and before he reacted, Funky Kid was frozen in thin Ice on the spot.

Once the opponent was frozen, Wil shot a fire arrow and then, a normal arrow to finish him off.

*Ding. You won the match and advance to the top 64. You receive 1000 battle coins as a reward.

While the audience is screaming in the excitement in some stadiums and surprised in others, meanwhile, a few people from different guilds were taking notes about the Ice arrow to pass it to their higher-ups that are currently waiting in white space.

It's not just them. Even Aster is sending the info of the winner of other battles so that he can prepare for it when he meets them in the next round or maybe in the future.

Meanwhile, Philip clapped along with everyone else with a smile as he saw thousands of people are cheering his son's name.

10 hours later;

*Ding. World Battle Tournament Round-64 is going to start in 30 minutes. Random matching is going to start.

"I wonder who will be my opponent, this time," as Wil curiously looked at the screen before him, the screen loaded for an entire minute before displaying the result.

*Ding. You are paired with "One".

"F*** where's my luck gone?" Wil's face turned dark as soon as he saw the name of his opponent.
