Old K patted Wolf’s shoulders, “It’ll be group D’s turn soon. Little Wolf, you still haven’t been eliminated yet. Good luck. Don’t let our Guild Master be the only [Zhan Long] member to enter the top 8.”
Song Han laughed. “There’s still Miss Cang Tong and Dong Cheng. Don’t worry… My opponent is The Seventh Tang, a Feng Shui Master. His skills are too complicated. It’s too hard to fight with this matchup.”
Dong Cheng Yue said, “My next opponent is Fang Ge Que, also in the top 8. But… If you look at it, I’m pretty content already. Experts like Bai Li Ruofeng were all eliminated in the top 32. I have to thank the heavens that a little Mage like me was able to enter the top 8.”
I glared at her and said, “Don’t be too modest, you still have half a month right? You and Wan Er can join [Zhan Long] and become our future number one Mage. You have to earn that name though, and I’m not asking that you be too strong, just you should be in the top 3 Mages on the Chinese Servers right?”
Dong Cheng smiled. “I’ll try… Brother Guild Master… Smooches”
I smirked, “Smooches my ass, Just watch the matches carefully……”
Lin Wan Er calmly looked at the stage. She was already so familiar with me and Dong Cheng’s teasing that she could easily ignore us.
……
There was no suspense in the second round either. Ye Lai’s violent fighting style was not something Wang Ze Cheng could defend against. In just under 12 seconds the fight was over. This time, as before, Ye Lai ferociously attacked multiple rounds and Wang Ze Cheng not only didn’t have the chance to cast [Cleansing Wind], he didn’t even have the chance to drink a potion! He could only sit and wait for his death.
2:0 Ye Lai defeated his opponent and successfully entered the top 8.
……
“Shua!”
After being sent out of the arena, Wang Ze Cheng held his spear and sat down in a foul mood. He looked at Ye Lai and said, “Hmph. [Judgment]. I’ll remember this……”
Ye Lai lifted his axe and smirked, “What? You wanna go again? Come on. I’ll welcome anything. [Judgment] is usually peaceful in Jiu Li City but if you wanna come, I’ll destroy your guild. You still wanna come? Or should I bring my people to Ba Huang City.”
Wang Ze Cheng was shaken up quite a bit. After finding out that Ye Lai was a bit too serious, he immediately shut his mouth. [Hero’s Mound: First Division] already has [Zhan Long], [Blood Contract] and [Misty Palace] to deal with already. If they add on [Judgment], they wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore. Not even Q-Sword would be able to protect them. Wang Ze Cheng was a smart person. He knew when to stop and wouldn’t do anything stupid.
……
D Group, First Match, Yue Wei Liang vs Drunken Spear
As I expected, Drunken Spear’s strength far surpassed our data. If Wang Ze Cheng was the strongest defensive Knight, then Drunken Spear would be the strongest offensive Knight. With his extraordinary skills with the spear, he easily defeated Wei Lian 2:0, preventing another one of our guild members from entering the top 8.
The second match, Wolf Totem vs The Seventh Tang
Wolf held his dagger and with a look of awe said, “If I can enter the top 8, I’ll treat everyone to a meal next week…”
Old K hurriedly said, “Good luck!”
The result… The Seventh Tang’s [Hexagram Strike] succeeded twice and his skills had far surpassed Wolf’s imagination. By using [Shrink], Wolf’s [Sneak] and [Absolute Step] were both neutralized. The most important factor was his [Pentashield]. Within the first few seconds it was clear that Wolf couldn’t beat him. He lost twice due to Tang’s consecutive strikes.
0:2 Wolf was eliminated. The Seventh Tang, the real dark horse, entered the top 8.
On the screen, the top and bottom half of the top 8 match ups appeared.
Top half:
Xiao Yao Zi Zai vs Q-Sword
Fang Ge Que vs Cang Yue
Bottom half:
Cang Tong vs Ye Lai
Drunken Spear vs The Seventh Tang
……
General Wang Jian looked at the board, then at me and said, “The first match, Brother Xiao Yao will go against the strongest mechanical player Q-Sword. Do you have anything to say?
I took a deep breath. “It’s time I show my real skills……”
Wan Er looked at me indifferently, “You have real skills?”
I butted in and said, “Miss, I’m going to a life and death match. How about you don’t attack me and give me a confidence boost…”
Wan Er couldn’t help but laugh and walked up to me with her beautiful face. She lifted her fist and lightly punched my chest, “Good Luck. if you beat Q-Sword, you’ll be in the top 4!”
“Yeah!”
Right then, I was sent to the arena.
“Shua!”
After entering, Q-Sword stood in front of me with his sword and smiled, “Li Xiao Yao, I didn’t think that we would meet like this. I really didn’t see this coming…”
I smiled as well, “Guild Master Q-Sword, did you think I couldn’t get into the top 8?”
Q-Sword was a honest person. “Actually, I didn’t think that you could beat, Bai Li Ruofeng, Mu Xuan, and Yan Zhao Warrior, all those experts. But, entering the top 8 proves your strength. You are a worthy opponent.”
“Then let’s have a good fight!”
I lifted my hands and unsheathed my Emperor Qin’s Sword. I lifted my left fist and a hexagram appeared, summoning Flaming Tiger God, who appeared next to me with a roar.
……
Q-Sword didn’t underestimate me and immediately called out his Frost Beast as he waited for the battle to start.
