"Leave that female mage to me!" Xu Yang said in a low voice while holding the Purgatory Sword.
High Fighting Spirits said, "There are two female mages, which one do you want?"
"The one with big breasts!"
"You mean Murong Mingyue?"
"Get lost, she's a priest!"
Below the stage, Murong Mingyue gritted her teeth. "These bastards, after the match is over, we'll send them to the slaughterhouse!"
… …
The moment the match began, Gui Guzi activated Charge with his spear and locked onto the enemy party leader. His steps were steady, and he swung his spear the moment he charged out. His movements were very smooth, like flowing water.
Thud thud thud!
The arrows of a few archers created sparks on the Spirit-grade shield, Titan Barrier, but they didn't deal much damage to Gui Guzi. After all, Gui Guzi's Defense of over 2,000 points was already a heaven-defying existence. Moreover, a conservative estimate of his HP was close to 15,000 points. No party would want to see such an undead knight. Book fans also loved to read: "The Undead Knight".
The enemy female mage was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "You idiots! Don't attack Gui Guzi, you can't kill him! Kill High Fighting Spirits and Hot Sun first!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late. The moment the battle began, Gui Guzi charged straight in. With a thrust of his spear, he used Aurora Thrust to shatter the shields of two mages and split the enemy formation in half. Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits, and the others also activated Charge. Under the swift and decisive assault of the Gordian knot, the enemy's strategy was rendered useless.
The battle ended in just three minutes. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed defeated their opponent and gained 1 point.
The second round didn't change much. Gui Guzi was the main attacker, and his Aurora Thrust forced the enemy to defend. Moreover, his Attack was pretty good, and the enemy was either an archer or a mage. They couldn't ignore Gui Guzi's attacks at all, and they were in so much pain that they wished they were dead.
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed defeated their opponent and advanced to the top 16!
… …
"Hahaha, Gui Guzi is still very impressive!"
I smiled and reached for my cup, only to discover that a small, snow-white hand had grabbed mine as well. I turned around and saw a girl wearing a jacket. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was the same type as Beiming Xue. She smiled at me and said, "Hello, Lu Chen. I'm the guild leader of Soul Battle Robes, Song of Cloud and Water. May I ask if you're interested in joining Soul Battle Robes?
We will provide you with a very generous treatment … "
It's this girl again!
I picked up Lin Yixin's cup and took a sip. "Aiya, your black tea is so bitter. I can't believe you can still drink it."
Lin Yixin smiled. "You have to be good at experiencing the bitterness and sweetness of life. Other readers, just read it normally."
Song of Cloud and Water stared at me with wide eyes. "Fuck, how dare you … ignore me again …"
Hmph, the one I'm ignoring is you!
It was at this moment four players appeared behind Song of Cloud and Water and said, "Guild leader, it's our turn. What are you waiting for?"
Song of Cloud and Water looked at the match-ups on the big screen — [Group G] Soul Battle Robes VS Warsky Alliance, Mad Dragon VS Hegemon Palace. [Group H] Dirge of War VS Snow Moon Baidicheng VS Legend...
The girl's lips parted slightly as she sighed. "It's too bad we ran into Warsky Alliance in the first round. Otherwise, we might have a chance against Snow Moon …"
A Soul Battle Robes member smiled sheepishly. "Things are different now. Both Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes are no longer king-level guilds. I don't think Snow Moon can beat their next opponent …"
Song of Cloud and Water turned around. "Why do you say that?"
"Do you know who the guild leader of Snow Moon is?
It's Southern Barbarian Berserker, a super noob. Their opponent is Dirge of War, one of the top ten guilds of Vanished God City. It would be a miracle if they could beat them … "
"Sigh …"
… …
Soul Battle Robes went up the stage, and their opponent was none other than Warsky Alliance. In real life, Warsky was a handsome young man with a bag in hand and a vague smile on his face. Behind him were Farewell Song, Laughing At The Heavens, October Rain, and a priest called Rain Ripple. It was a standard super team, and three of them were CGL Hall of Famers!
Clearly, Soul Battle Robes was no match for their opponent. Song of Cloud and Water knew this, so she didn't put up much of a fight. Under Warsky's command, they quickly defeated Soul Battle Robes and eliminated them in two rounds!
After the contestants left the stage, Song of Cloud and Water left the stage unhappily. Surprisingly, Warsky and a couple of Warsky Alliance members walked toward us.
"Heh, hello everyone!" Warsky smiled.
I rose to my feet and gave him a friendly handshake. "Hello, Warsky!"
"Lu Chen!"
Warsky shook my hand and said with a smile, "This is the Little Heavenly King, Falling Dust. You can pick up and let go of things at will. No matter how badly we kill each other in the game, it won't affect us being friends in real life, right?"
I nodded and smiled. "Of course. After all these years, the only thing I can't pick up and let go of is chopsticks!"
"Hahaha, not bad!"
Warsky looked at me approvingly before saying, "I don't need to introduce the people behind me, do I?
This is Farewell Song, Laughing At The Heavens, October Rain, and Rain Ripple. You've probably met them in the game before. "
I nodded. "I've heard a lot about you …"
Farewell Song chuckled and gave me a thumbs-up. "Lu Chen, your skill during the battle at Fire Desert is top-notch. In the entire China server, only legendary experts like Frivolous Scholar and Lin Fan are capable of recreating that kind of skill …"
I shook my head and smiled. "It's nothing. I had the class and equipment advantage, or I wouldn't have been able to 1vN."
"Hahaha!"
Warsky unceremoniously grabbed the seat next to us and sat down. After that, he started talking and laughing with Purple Marquis, Xu Yang, and the others. I had to admit that Warsky was a charismatic person, and it was the reason Warsky Alliance was able to rise to prominence overnight in the China server. We fought each other to the death online, but we became good friends offline. Most people didn't have this kind of breadth of mind.
… …
I played with my phone in silence. It was true that Warsky was a very friendly person in the offline world, but in the game, we were destined to fight to the death. Moreover, the battle for supremacy in Sky City was likely to get even more intense. After all, there were only a few territories in the game, but there were tens of thousands of people vying for them!
It was at this moment a girl in a purple dress suddenly moved a chair from the side and sat down in front of me. She looked at me and smiled. "Lu Chen!"
Fuck, October Rain!
I shuddered. Beside me, Lin Yixin and He Yi stole me a mocking look. Instead of helping me out, they looked like they were going to watch a good show!
"Do you need something?" I asked.
October Rain smiled. "Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you. What, am I not welcome?"
"Of course you are …" I murmured. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Something not suitable for children?" October Rain giggled.
"..." I didn't say anything.
October Rain burst into a giggle before replying, "Never mind, I was just teasing you. Look, the guild leaders of Snowy Cathaya, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and the most influential superpowers of Sky City are all here. Why don't we lay our cards on the table and discuss the future of Sky City?"
Lin Yixin's interest was piqued. "Oh?
What do you want to talk about, Beauty Chen? "(October Rain's real name was Chen Yu, and her name was recorded in the CGL Hall of Fame.)
October Rain looked at Lin Yixin and giggled. "Ohh, so this is the legendary Wind Fantasy? You're as beautiful as I thought. Your skin is so smooth, your face is so round, your eyes are so charming, and even your breasts are so round and perky. Hmm, do you do the UPP Breast Enlargement Exercises often? Otherwise, how could your body be so much better than a model's …"
Lin Yixin's face turned red. "I … I've never done any UPP Breast Enlargement Exercises before. Let's talk about the future of Sky City instead of going off topic …"
October Rain giggled. "Alright, alright. Look at my memory. Let's talk about Sky City!"
October Rain's expression turned serious, and she looked like a completely different person. "The next phase of Sky City's development will be the war between the guilds of China. According to my estimates, Sky City will spawn five or so guild residences in the next two to three months, and five super guilds will be born in Sky City. These super guilds will be the main force of the Nation Wars, and they will be the ones to decide the outcome of the war!"
"That's why …" October Rain smiled, but her beautiful eyes were filled with ridicule. "The war between Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya, Warsky Alliance, Gods of Destruction, Hegemon Palace, Mad Dragon, and Flower Room will be the king of the sky no matter who wins. Of course, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya, and Warsky Alliance will have their own guild residences no matter who wins. This means that we will be the main force of the Nation Wars."
October Rain dipped her finger into her tea and drew a large map of Sky City on the table. Then, she smiled and said, "The China server is located in the middle of the continent, and it is surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides. Fortunately, the three main cities are connected to each other, so we won't be surrounded by enemies on all sides. Sky City is under the greatest threat because we're right next to the main city of Vietnam. I heard that it's a pretty big city, and Vietnam's government spent a lot of money to recruit almost a hundred thousand gaming talents from all over the world before the server even started. They're planning to fight an online war, so we're facing a lot of pressure."
Lin Yixin looked at October Rain with a smile. "What do you want?"
October Rain looked a bit embarrassed. "I'm just saying, no matter what happens … er, er …"
I put down my cup and smiled. "It doesn't matter what happens between our three guilds, we must work together to fight against the enemy once the Nation Wars begin!"
October Rain immediately looked at me with stars in her eyes. "As expected of the man I fell for. You got it right away …"
Lin Yixin and He Yi said in unison, "Fuck …"
