At this point, Rudy loathed the very thought of the Golden Continent warriors.
However, Rudy suddenly thought of something amid their conversation. He thus turned and looked at Fane in confusion, "That warrior from Chaos Continent said that attribute attacks aren't pure attacks. Even if you're strong, your attribute attack might not be."
Fane nodded and explained, "That is the case, yes. That's because your actual strength is determined by the technique you mastered and the control of your technique, but a high-grade technique doesn't mean it uses a lot of your attributes."
Rudy could understand only about half of that. He frowned and asked, "So you're saying that even if the level of the technique is high, it doesn't mean that the technique uses a lot of a given attribute. Some techniques are lower in rank but use a lot more attributes. The warriors that use those techniques might even be able to release attribute attacks that are stronger than higher-grade techniques."
Fane nodded; that was exactly what he meant. Attribute gambles could incite a gambler's heart even more due to how unpredictable they were. Some people were incredibly strong in actual combat, but since their techniques did not use a lot of attributes, they might end up losing to others inferior to them.
The other gambles more or less put the onus on a person's true skills, but an attribute gamble was different.
Rudy said somewhat excitedly, "Then, I can try too, yes?"
Fane did not want to burst Rudy's excitement, but reality was cruel.
Fane said helplessly, "Even though there's some uncertainty, high-grade techniques usually use a lot of attributes. After all, more of the element would usually cause the technique to be even stronger."
Rudy's excitement was dampened in an instant. "So…it's still a game for the strong in the end. It's just that the uncertainty exists between the strong, right?"
This time, Rudy's understanding was spot on. Fane nodded and said, "You're right; the uncertainty exists between the strong. If two people face off, their skills need to be similar for the weaker one to have a chance."
Rudy sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say. All he could do was lament the fact that the world belonged to the strong. The weaklings were better off not participating.
Fane patted Rudy's shoulder. "Alright, don't think about it anymore. Let's go to the eastern area to understand the situation first."
Rudy followed after Fane, arriving at the eastern area where most of the warriors were gathered. The center was taken up by the warriors from the Golden Continent while the other areas were a mix of the three worlds.
With the Golden Continent around, the warriors from the other three worlds became much friendlier with each other as though in unity. After all, the Golden Continent belittled them all.
The two of them had just stopped when they saw another argument flare up.
