My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 267: Fifth Round Deathmatch Duel

The next day.

Lu Bai arrived at school on time as usual, clocked in, and then went to the training hall to warm up.

Even though today was indeed the time for a deathmatch duel, no one would feel any doubt about it.

After all, the assessment department’s work only gets slightly busy near the end of the term; it’s always this idle on normal days.

After breaking a sweat in the training hall, Lu Bai left the venue and headed toward Desheng Tower.

……

Beep~

After registering his identification on the LCD input screen at the entrance of Desheng Tower, Lu Bai originally planned to select the same room he used last time, but unfortunately, that room was already occupied.

He had no choice but to walk around the corridor and randomly pick an empty room to enter.

It was worth mentioning that no matter which room it was, as long as there were no special requirements, the interior decorations were all extremely luxurious, with chairs and various displays all exuding the flavor of money.

He sat down on the sofa, and it didn’t take long for a sweet female voice to ring out in the room again.

“Hello, Team Leader Lu. I haven’t received your reservation. Are you here for a deathmatch duel?”

Lu Bai glanced around but couldn’t find the location of the speaker, so he simply spoke directly.

“Then make a reservation now.”

A moment later.

“Team Leader Lu, your reservation is complete. I am Qu Yawen from the internal affairs department. I will be serving you this time. You can make any requests to me at any time.

There are thirty-six minutes until your deathmatch duel begins. I hope you can relax and maintain a good state…”

During this female voice’s speech, the speakers hidden in the room began playing gentle piano music in surround sound.

Without exaggeration, if there were any music-related requests, as long as notified in advance, they would even find professional performers to play live for the death fighter.

However, Lu Bai didn’t care much about this aspect; it didn’t matter if he listened or not.

He closed his eyes and lay back on the sofa, no longer speaking, quietly waiting for the time to arrive.

Time passed minute by minute, and the moment it arrived, an emotionless mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.

【Ding!】

【Fifth round deathmatch duel begins.】

【Teleportation starting!】

……

【Deathmatch Arena Number: 92****6327】

【Username: Clever Malphite】

【Main Title Equipped: Pure Smile (Four Stars)】

【Secondary Titles Equipped: Frenzied Slaughter (Four Stars), Ultimate Murderer (Four Stars)】

【Talent: 125.6】

【Current Points: 0】

【Current Rank: 200/200】

【Abilities: ?, Flash Time, Ink Black, Spirit Time House】

【Attention! First round ability pool has opened. Selection available.】

After opening his eyes, Lu Bai didn’t check the first round ability pool. Instead, following habit, he first hid his two secondary titles to avoid scaring others away with his killing intent.

Looking around, he quickly realized he was in a rental room.

The room was fairly tidy, but the air was filled with a mix of musty smell and laundry detergent scent, which inexplicably felt a bit pungent.

A set of dark blue sportswear was placed neatly on the bedside.

He glanced at the entrance hall; there was only a pair of shoes.

A string of keys hung on the entrance hall wall, and from the cheap oval button on the keyring, it seemed to be for an electric scooter.

This time, the randomized identity was a loner?

Lu Bai nodded thoughtfully; that was fine too.

Confirming he was currently in a safe environment, he then turned his attention back to the system interface to select from the first round ability pool.

The deathmatch system had no delay; the moment he clicked to select, three semi-transparent data panels immediately appeared in front of his retinas.

【Sign-in System (Color): Every week in the deathmatch arena, you can sign in once. Completing the sign-in will grant a reward, with the highest being gold level items or abilities.】

【Maoshan Daoism (Color): Upon acquiring this ability, the death fighter can perform Maoshan Daoist magic, capable of exorcising ghosts, subduing demons, performing supernatural salvation on spirits, as well as healing illnesses, exorcism, fortune-telling, and geomancy.】

【Holy Lord Dragon Transformation (Color): Bathed in dragon blood, gain part of the Holy Lord’s power, transforming into a half-dragon person with dark green skin, dragon scales covering the body, three zhang tall, able to breathe fire from the mouth, shoot lightning from the eyes, swift as a rabbit, floating like a chicken, invisible like a snake, strong as an ox. Note: This dragon transformation is irreversible.】

Uh…

Lu Bai instinctively ruled out the last 【Holy Lord Dragon Transformation】; mainly, he couldn’t accept the irreversible aspect.

Whether it was strong or not was just a matter of versions, but whether it was handsome or not was for life.

Moreover, turning into a nearly ten-meter half-dragon person was indeed inconvenient in many situations.

As for that 【Sign-in System】.

For series abilities like this, Lu Bai had paid special attention before.

In the deathmatch system’s ability library, things like armory and sign-in system could appear in the white, silver, gold, and color level ability pools.

Compared to the stability of the armory, no matter the level, sign-in systems generally received low evaluations from most death fighters.

It was really because the luck factor of the sign-in system was too strong.

If luck was good and gold level rewards were drawn for several weeks in a row, the strength would indeed surpass a single color ability.

But the problem was, the probability was too slim.

Moreover, sign-ins required time, and no death fighter could guarantee how long a deathmatch duel would last.

If it ended in one or two weeks, picking a sign-in system would be a huge loss.

After eliminating them one by one like this, Lu Bai found that the only option left seemed to be that 【Maoshan Daoism】.

Although the ability description didn’t seem very powerful, it had the advantage of being balanced.

“Select.”

The moment he obtained Maoshan Daoism, a large amount of incantations and spells’ memories flooded into Lu Bai’s mind.

Pinching fingers and reciting incantations became like muscle memory; with a thought, he could form the appropriate hand seals.

He sat in place and familiarized himself with them one by one, but to his disappointment, these Daoist magics indeed didn’t have many powerful effects as described in the ability.

The only relatively fierce one was Supreme Lord Lao’s “Urgent as the law,” but it wasn’t anything world-destroying.

However,

Whatever.

Better to borrow other death fighters’ abilities to use.

After finishing with the abilities, Lu Bai got up and searched the room, finding an old mobile phone and a pile of warranty documents including an electric bicycle driving license.

He opened the phone and checked social platforms and apps related to daily life: “The identity I randomized is a young high school dropout, parents deceased, eighteen years old, now doing food delivery work to barely make ends meet.”

Lu Bai’s eyelid twitched involuntarily.

This identity was again an early school dropout in flexible employment; he felt like his randomized identity templates were about to become fixed.
