Chapter 317: Chopped up and fed to the dogs!
It was noon when I logged on!
“Shua!”
At 11:45, I appeared in the middle of Ba Huang City, and immediately received a notification:
System Notification: The 【Rise of the Heroes】 Tournament will start in 15 minutes. You have already registered. Do you want to enter the tournament area?
After accepting, my body was transported away by magic into an illusionary space. At the same time, a message appeared: Player [Yue Qing Qian] invites you to join waiting room 27719. Do you wish to accept?
After accepting again, I entered into Qing Qian’s room. The maximum number of people that could be inside was 20!
The Yue twins stood nearby as Matcha, Wolf, and the others each came in. Qing Qian then gave me the power to invite and smiled, “Brother Xiao Yao, bring the two beauties Cang Tong and Cang Yue here. If you don’t, they’ll probably beat you offline later.”
I wordlessly invited them. With a “Shua Shua”, two rays of light appeared and the two beauties entered the room. The 20 people limit was reached already. Most of the players were the core members of [Zhan Long]; actually, Wan Er and Dong Cheng counted as one of us as well. Even Q-Sword couldn’t do anything about it; this was the advantage in being intimate closely to someone.
……
“It’s going to start soon. This is so exciting. This is [Destiny]’s first large scale tournament event…” Qing Qian made a fist and nervously laughed.
I glanced at her, “Don’t be nervous. Listen to me. Just use [Sneak] + [Ambush] continuously and use [God’s Dance] to avoid the attacks. Then use [Gouge] and [Twin Blade Harmony]. With your strength, you’ll probably reach the the top 64 easily…..”
Wan Er held her Emperor Tier dagger in hand and her umbrella on her back. Her leather armor was tightly wrapped around her body, revealing her 34D breasts and curves. She looked at the countdown and laughed, “Heh. We don’t even know who our first opponent is, nor what kind of tactics we should use to win. Aren’t you being a bit ridiculous…..”
I squinted at her and said, “You’re the one panicking……”
Old K lifted his battle axe and joked, “Beautiful Wan Er, if you meet our Xiao Yao in the first round, would you show no mercy and send him home?”
Wan Er smiled, “No way! How can I let my Brother Xiao Yao lose in one round? If I meet him, I’ll forfeit. But… if I somehow meet you in the first round, I won’t be showing any mercy and slaughter you. It’ll feel good, you know. With your defense, my [Twin Blade Harmony] and my dagger’s armor penetration ability, I will definitely deal more than 3000 damage to you……”
Old K shuddered and walked back a few steps, “Li Xiao Yao, control your miss better…”
I blinked, “You even said she was my miss, how am I supposed to control her…?!”
Dong Cheng laughed, “Okay now, all of you are just teasing our Wan Er…”
Dancing Forest nonchalantly said, “It was obviously the miss here bullying the weak and teasing our number one Berserker Old K…”
“Is Old K weak?” Wang Jian stared at him.
Li Mu nodded, and looked at Old K, then back at Wan Er, and said, “Don’t judge how strong he is based on his [Whirlwind Blade] and [Savage Jump Slash]. Compared to Cang Tong, he wouldn’t even have the chance to be scared. In front of Cang Tong, he is incomparably weak.”
Wang Jian: “………”
……
After a few minutes, the countdown finished. “Ding” the screen in front of us started to show the battle information——
Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Lv 71 Dragon City Night Watch] vs Dawn of Heroes [Lv 66 Gold Swordsman]
Cang Tong [Lv 70 Gold Assassin] vs Xuan Xiao Yu [Lv 63 Gold Swordsman]
Cang Yue [Lv 70 Gold Mage] vs Run Fast Bunnies [Lv 57 Silver Mage] .
Yue Qing Qian [Lv 69 Gold Assassin] vs Alluring Snow [Lv 65 Gold Mage]
Little Wolf [Lv 67 Gold Assassin] VS Running Snail [Lv 61 Gold Berserker]
Strawberry Matcha [Lv 65 Phantom Knight] vs Liquor [Lv 67 Gold Knight] ……
Looking at the screen, I took a deep breath and said, “Aside from Matcha, none of us should have any problems. Matcha’s opponent is at a higher level and is an expert from Jiu Li City…..”
Wan Er looked at the screen and said, “Matcha, be careful. Since this is the qualification round, the system is using the Best of One rule, so you can’t lose a single round. If you win, you move on. If you lose, you’re eliminated. That Knight should also have high defense, but if you use [Phantom Ray Slash] in a battle of endurance, you’ll win. If you use [Holy Shield] and [Phantom Holy Shield] to double your defense, he won’t be able to break through.”
Matcha nodded, “Mhm, I got it!”
One Second Hero looked at the screen and laughed, “To be honest, Guild Master has the most luck. To think that you will be meeting Dawn of Heroes in the first round, someone you already know: [Wrath of the Heroes]’s captain, Tang Xue’s old acquaintance….”
Thousand Sun Over Snowy Lands said lightly, “I don’t know him. One Second… you’ve said enough….”
One Second Hero’s face turned green, “One Second… Don’t call me One Second….”
Yue Qing Qian smiled, “Brother Xiao Yao, will you show mercy?”
I thought about it and said, “I’ll finish him in One Second…..”
One Second Hero completely collapsed, “Can you guys not say “One Second” any more? I’ll treat you guys to a feast later. We can even go to Golden Leopards……”
Everyone laughed.
……
The system notice started to count down. I held my breath. Everyone was extra nervous, especially since the Rise of the Heroes Tournament was [Destiny]’s first tournament; moreover, it was a Best of One tournament. We couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
“Shua!”
The battlefield was a 100×100 arena with green tiles on the ground. There were four poles at each corner of the arena. There were also three flags with pictures on them: a battle axe, a short sword and a wolf’s head. Each representing their respective city: Ba Huang City, Fan Shu City and Jiu Li City.
At the same time I entered the arena, I received a system notice.
“Ding!”
