Chapter 623 - A Difficult To Handle Champion!
Without further ado, he pressed on the second button and watched the wheel spin yet again.
Ting Ting Ting!
"Stop!"
The wheel slowed down its speed for a few seconds until it was brought to a halt, leaving its needle placed on a green-colored board.

Felix looked to his right and was met with the game's details.

Good luck to all participants.//
'Interesting gamemode.' Felix rubbed his chin as he recalled a similar VR Game that was pretty popular in his previous life.
The concept was almost the same. The only difference would be a real death for the players in the SG games and rewards within the chests weren't virtual and useless.
'Since they didn't ban vision abilities, it will be difficult to kill other players with the explosions.'
Felix understood that all of the players in this game would have an ability related to enhancing their senses.
It was impossible for players to reach this rank without having a sensory ability or innate trait.
Because of this assumption, he knew that the game would limit the distance of sensory abilities greatly.
'Whatever, as long as they don't completely ban them.'
Felix's Truth Vision was a great asset to him and he planned on fully taking advantage of it.
'Let's see who I will be dealing with.'
Felix waved the game's hologram to the side and clicked on the participants' list.

"Oho? A member of the Dragonlus Race." Jörmungandr smiled, "They must be Aspidochelone's champions."
"Great, it just had to be them." Felix rolled his eyes after recalling the weird and annoying antics of this unique race.
He clicked on their name and their profile emerged before him.
He glanced at their profile picture and was met with a giant emerald-colored turtle with four scally limbs and two long necks, emerging from its shell.
One neck was connected with a spiky black dragon head and the other was connected with a small emerald turtle head with snappers.
Felix's eyelids couldn't help but twitch after seeing the Dragonhead biting the neck of the turtle head.
He seemed pissed while the other looked like he was laughing his ass off.
"As expected, these race personalities are always the same, one is easily irritated and the other is overly talkative." Felix commented as he closed the profile picture, "Truly, the worst genetic match in the history of the universe."
Felix wasn't the only one who thought so.
The Dragonlus reputation throughout the universe wasn't to be admired in the slightest.
Instead, they were the butt joke of every conversation if their name was ever brought out.
It was to be expected, when every time they were caught in a video, they appear to be biting each other's necks fiercely.
Felix was actually weirded out by the fact that the Earth Primogenitor Aspidochelone picked them as his champion.
After all, they were known for having the worst cooperation due to their opposite personalities, making them unable to conclude a single fight without ending up biting each other.
"Since they have so many wins, it only meant that they are different from the others."
Felix didn't dare to understimate them even though they appeared like a joke in their profile picture.
He knew that they were a hybrid mix from the Proud Dragon Race and The Heavenly Turtle Race.
Both of those races were in the top ten strongest races in the universe and the leaders of the SGA.
So, it was only natural that a hybrid race from them would result in the creation of strong lifeforms capable of having the strongest assets of both races!
If it wasn't for the fact that the personalities of both races were inherited, the Dragonlus would have annexed a race in the top ten and replaced them!
"Maybe they are cool with each other and the profile picture is just a way to lower our guards?"
Felix scrolled down on their profile and clicked on the previous recording of their games and highlights.
He picked the most viewed one on the network and started watching it.
When the video was over, Felix could only draw a deep cold breath at what he had just witnessed.
An absolute massacre of 3 players in a platinum game!
What's worse, those five players didn't leave even a scratch on them!
"Those motherf*ckers ain't playing around." Felix's expression turned serious as he began binge-watching their other highlights.
When he was done, he was left with a sense of crisis drawing upon him.
'I can't defeat them with their abnormal defenses. Even my strongest attack won't be able to penetrate their skin.' Felix cringed, 'Their shell is already tough enough to put everyone in despair, yet their skin is actually made out of Dragon's scales. This is literally the perfect defensive combination.'
What's worse, Felix knew that their poison and shock tolerance wasn't a joke.
So, if he wanted to poison them, he needed to increase the potency so high up, it would drain him out of his energy almost immediately.
'Their only weakness is speed.' Felix thought, 'But, they have it somewhat covered by filling the entire area into a muddy field. This makes it impossible to move fast on it for their enemies. Meanwhile, they can slide on it extremely fast with their shell.'
Felix tapped his finger on the table as he kept analyzing the videos, 'As for their offense, the Dragonhead is capable of breathing out the hottest fire in the universe...Dragon's Flames.'
"So, they inherited limited earth element manipulation and one fixed fire ability from the Dragon Race?" Asna questioned in intrigue.
"It seems like it from their videos." Felix nodded his head.
He knew that the Dragonlus Race wasn't born with two limited elemental manipulations, Fire and Earth, even though they were mixed from two superior races.
Instead, they inherited either one of the manipulations and some abilities of the other race.
It all depends on the purity of the bloodlines. If it was shitty, they might not even inherit even a single limited manipulation but just a few abilities!
For WowefxNero to have this amazing combination of strong offense, invisible defense, and speed, they could be said to have an extremely pure bloodline compared to their brothers.
"This game is truly not going to be easy to clutch." Felix noted as he closed off all the holograms.
"Are you wavering?" Lady Sphinx asked, "Should we not bet heavily on this game?"
"What are you talking about?" Felix cracked his knuckles with a faint smirk, "I just said it's going to be difficult, not impossible."
"That's what I like to hear." Thor grinned, "This is my introduction game, you better make me proud before those old fogies!"
"Alright, enough pressuring him." Jörmungandr clapped his hand and said, "Leave him to study his opponents in peace.. We have a meeting with Aspidochelone in a few minutes."
