Cough cough, about that, would you believe me if I said I overslept and just woke up a while ago … …

Champion City was indeed the largest city in the Eastern Continent. This human city was at least five to six times the size of Red Lake City. Not only that, the businesses here had reached unprecedented heights, and the NPCs in the city were generally very happy. In addition, there were at least a hundred guilds of various sizes that had chosen this city as their base, making the city even more prosperous than before.
Standing outside the teleportation point, Clear Moon sniffled and said to Jelly beside him, "This, this is my first time in Champion City."
Fruit Jelly nodded. Looking at the city with more people than ants, she was dumbfounded. "Me, me, me too …"
"Why don't you come over? The teleportation fee isn't expensive. You're just like a country bumpkin entering the city." Golden Man was a frequent visitor to Champion City, but the sea of people today gave him a headache, "Oh my god, there are so many people here. We'll probably be separated before we find the NPC to sign up for the event."
"Everyone says that this place is big and crowded. I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back." Clear Moon sniffled again. He was still in awe of Champion City's majestic city and the large number of players, "If only our Red Lake City could be as prosperous as this."
Ever since Up Everyday was established and named Red Lake City as their guardian city, all members of the guild had bound Red Lake City to themselves. There were also many who joined Red Lake City and became Red Lake City's citizens. Although doing daily quests was a good source of income, when they saw such a bustling city, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
Just as the group stood at the entrance of the city, contemplating how to enter the city, Bai Mo sent a message in the guild channel, "I've already squeezed into the city to sign up. Don't leave the city walls in case I can't find you later!"
Of course, Ye Ci also squeezed into the city with Bai Mo. She had high Agility and good balance, making her the best candidate to display her strengths in such a crowd. She even arrived at the registration NPC earlier than Bai Mo. There were a total of 5 NPCs in charge of registration in Champion City. They were located in the North, South, East, West and Central Districts. However, no matter which district they were in, they were surrounded by crowds of people.
The Dragon Dance Competition was a competition that focused on teamwork. One of the rules of the competition was that solo players were not allowed to sign up. If they wanted to sign up for the competition, they had to have between 5 and 100 people. This registration requirement had been announced on the official website before the New Year, so many solo players had already found a team.
Meanwhile, the players surrounding the registration NPCs were basically all team leaders. Just the number of team leaders alone was innumerable. It was obvious that there were countless players wandering around the city and staying in various residences.
As the Guild Leader, Bai Mo quickly registered his party name Up Everyday with the NPC. Then, a confirmation box appeared in front of each team member: [The Dragon Dance Competition Emcee invites you to enter the competition venue. Do you agree?]
This confirmation box would only appear once. If they did not click 'Reject', they would not be able to enter the competition venue and would be deemed as having forfeited the competition. Hence, Bai Mo shouted in the guild channel, "Look carefully before you click 'Confirm'. It's' Confirm '. Click' Confirm '!"
After a few flashes of white light, everyone was teleported into a special competition venue. It was an open flat ground with soft green grass growing on it. It stretched as far as the eye could see. Around the large flat ground, there was a flagpole every 20 meters. On the flagpole were the names of the teams that had signed up. Those standing below the flags were the members of the teams. On the side of the flag, there was a huge dragon dance prop.
Every team's Dragon was different. For example, Ye Ci's Dragon was green with golden patterns on it. The pair of bright eyes on the dragon's head looked very lifelike.
In this event, all the players who had signed up were divided into three groups. Those with less than 20 people were called the Light Weight, those with 21 to 60 people were called the Medium Weight, and those with 61 to 100 people were called the Heavy Weight. Each group would compete in a different venue. Of course, the final prizes would be different.
As the Heavy Weight Champion of this event was very generous, not only would they receive a Level 5 Guild Encampment, but every member would also receive an Epic Unique Title. Hence, Ye Ci and the others had mobilized their entire guild. There were a total of 72 people, which was enough for them to be in the Heavy Weight Champion.
Everyone's positions were also determined. Bai Mo and Let Go Of That Girl had the highest Strength, so Bai Mo carried the dragon's head, while Let Go Of That Girl carried the middle of the dragon's body. These two positions were very important. In order for the dragon to move forward normally, they had to arrange two key people there. Ye Ci was arranged to be on the dragon's tail. As she had high Agility and high speed, she was able to see and listen to her surroundings. Her main role was to observe the entire venue.
When most of the players had entered, the entire venue was suddenly filled with people. It was very lively. At this moment, a few alarms sounded in the venue. Then, countless colorful spheres appeared on the grass. These were the important items for all four competitions — the "Pearls".
The first competition was very simple. Everyone would fight for the "Pearls" on the grass. The top ten teams with the most Pearls would advance to the next round. In this competition, you could use any method as long as you did not leave the dragon's side and snatch the Pearls. Of course, in this event's venue, weapons and skills were not allowed.
A few more alarms sounded, indicating that all the players were ready to attack. All the teams carried their dragons and prepared to attack. With a single order, over a hundred Chinese dragons of various colors and patterns charged towards the 'pearl' in the middle of the huge field.
In fact, the dragon dance was no longer just a Chinese tradition. Many foreigners also liked this Eastern tradition very much and would often watch it. However, it was one thing to see it, but it was another to want to dance it. This event was actually similar to a two-player, three-legged game played by primary school students. It required one to maintain the same rhythm and pace in order to move forward as fast as possible.
However, it was easier said than done to maintain the same rhythm and pace for hundreds of people. It was just the beginning, and many dragons were already lying on the ground with either their bodies or their heads and tails on the ground. It was a chaotic scene.
For a moment, laughter, noise, and clamor filled the entire venue. Although everyone wanted to get the final reward, because it was the New Year, everyone was still immersed in the joyous atmosphere. The fall and the laughter made the entire New Year's atmosphere even more intense.
The teams Up Everyday were prepared because the rules stipulated that if both hands let go of the pole supporting the dragon's body at the same time, it would be considered forfeit. Therefore, no matter what happened, no one dared to let go of the pole with both hands. At the beginning, they fell many times.
"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry. Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Werewolves, slow down your steps and coordinate with the Gnomes, Dwarves, and Undead. Listen to the slogan!" Bai Mo was also pulled down a few times. He laughed and shouted in the guild channel, "Being in such a hurry might not be good for you! It's not worth it if one or two people fall! "
The members of Upwards Ho! decided to just stand there and line up. They listened to Bai Mo's slogan "One, two, one, two" for a while. After familiarizing themselves with the rhythm, they began to march towards the pearl.
Ye Ci looked at a green colored ball in front of her to the left. She was about to move in that direction to grab the ball when she saw the person in front of her throw something and catch the ball!
"Pea Cake, what are you holding?"
"The Cat Claw I gave you. I thought you couldn't use it. I didn't expect you to not only not use weapons, but also items." He turned around and played with the Cat Claw in his hand.
So that's how it is.
Ye Ci took out the Cat Claw from her inventory and tested it. She quickly familiarized herself with its strength and distance. Ye Ci was a ranged class, so she was very accurate at such a long distance. In a short while, she had caught more than ten colored balls.
"Pea Cake, do you have any more Cat Claw?" Bai Mo couldn't help but shout when he saw the last two players were having a good time catching the balls. It would be great if everyone had one.
"I only brought eleven. Together with the one Gongzi has, there are twelve in total."
"Trade them to the Hunter, Magician, and Ranger in the guild. Those who have the Cat Claw, just keep up with the pace and think of a way to catch the balls in the distance!" The dragon stopped at Bai Mo's command, and by the time it moved again, Upwards Ho!'s dragon had already transformed into a stealthy Spiderman.
Wherever they went, there was not a single colored ball within the range of the Cat Claw!
Soon, the other guilds discovered this secret. They didn't know what Dragon Up Everyday was holding in his hand. They thought it was some kind of hemp rope and began to do the same. Indeed, it was effective. The speed at which they caught the balls was much faster than before.
"Bam!" Suddenly, a dragon head slammed into Bai Mo's head, making him dizzy. "What's going on? Is this a collision?"
"F * ck! Blade of Steel, how shameless can you be? Why did you slam into our dragon head? " Ideal Height 1.7m was standing right behind Bai Mo. She immediately recognized the identity of the opponent's Dragon the moment he was hit. When she recalled Ye Ci leaving the guild, she guessed that the opponent was taking revenge, "Do you want a fight?"
"There are accidents on the highway. What's wrong with slamming into a Dragon?" Peacock Blue replied. She stuck out her round chest and snorted at Ideal Height 1.7m. She looked down on Ideal Height 1.7m's height.
"What? You're giving me face!" Let Go Of That Girl was not going to let anyone find trouble with Ideal Height 1.7m. He immediately raised his Dragon and rushed forward, kicking one of the players.
The kick was heavy enough that Steel-Blooded Battle Spear's Dragon body, which was initially walking well, immediately fell to the ground. At that moment, the members of both Steel-Blooded Battle Spear raised their poles and began kicking each other.
"Attention, Team Up Everyday and Team Blade of Steel. If you don't separate, you will be disqualified from the competition!" While the two Dragons were having fun kicking each other, a familiar voice rang in the air above the arena …
