As Zhao Yueru walked down from the stage, the spectating players instinctively opened up a path for her. After all, the Flame Witch's fame was no joke.
Previously, because the members of the Dark Guild had provoked her, she had killed them twice. Even the Dark Guild, Corpse Man's Soul, had suffered significant damage.
In the past, these experts would at most treat them as a joke. Now, even if they wanted to look at Zhao Yueru, they had to muster up their courage. If they were careless and made this young miss unhappy, they might be instantly killed when they walked out of the city.
"The Flame Witch is too amazing! She can probably compete for the top ten spots now. "
"Top ten? More like top five! The combination of a Lord ranked monster and a large-scale destruction spell is practically invincible in PvP. I'm afraid that only a few people can get close to the Flame Witch so quickly at the start of the match. The others will most likely be blasted to smithereens. "
"It's a pity that the Frost Queen lost in this competition. If she hadn't encountered the Flame Witch, she might've made it into the top 15. Now, however, she can't even make it into the top 50 …"
"With the Flame Witch, Ling YI Society can probably rank among the top five Guilds."
…
Everyone couldn't help but discuss Zhao Yueru enthusiastically. They were all curious to see what rank Zhao Yueru would be able to reach in this ranking competition. As for Yi Luofei, who had already been defeated, everyone could only sigh.
"Damn it! How is this possible?! " Crimson Fox glared at Zhao Yueru as she left the stage. "The Ling YI Society is really sinister. They've been hiding a trump card like Zhao Yueru all this time!"
"Guild Leader, what should we do now?" Lonely Castle, who stood beside Crimson Fox, grew anxious.
In the ranking competition, the higher a player's ranking was, the more points they would receive.
Players ranked between 1000 and 501 would be rewarded with 5 points. However, players ranked between 500 and 249 would be rewarded with 10 points.
After reaching the third round, players would receive 20 points. After reaching the fourth round, players would receive 50 points. Now that Zhao Yueru had reached the fifth round, she would receive 100 points.
Although the two experts Nine Dragons Emperor had hired had also made it to the fifth round, Nine Dragons Emperor had said that they'd be lucky to reach the top 16 in the seventh round. Moreover, the seventh round only awarded 300 points per player. If Zhao Yueru made it to the top five, she'd earn 600 points. Even if she only made it to the top four, she'd earn 600 points. If she got lucky and made it to the finals, she'd earn 1,000 points. That was more than Crimson Castle's total points …
"Hand them the Epic items Nine Dragons Emperor lent us. Make sure they reach the seventh round. As for the Ling YI Society's members, we can't guarantee that they'll reach the ninth round. If they encounter those melee experts on their way to the seventh round, they'll lose. If they encounter the FFF adventurer team's commander, Yan Tianxing, the Ling YI Society's journey will end here," Crimson Fox said as he turned to look at the FFF adventurer team's commander, Yan Tianxing.
The FFF adventurer team had always been one of the Black Dragon Empire's top adventurer teams because of Yan Tianxing. Meanwhile, Yan Tianxing was a peak expert who had been famous in the virtual gaming world for many years. He even ranked second on the Black Dragon Empire's Assassin Ranking List.
Even Hell Prison, who had tried to assassinate Yi Luofei, had only ranked fourth on the Assassin Ranking List.
Hell Prison had single-handedly rendered the various large Guilds helpless. Meanwhile, Yan Tianxing was even stronger than Hell Prison. Hence, the various large Guilds in the Black Dragon Empire feared the FFF adventurer team. Otherwise, an adventurer team with only a few thousand members would be dreaming if it thought it could stand on equal footing with the various large Guilds.
"I understand." The Shield Warrior, Lonely Castle, agreed with Shi Feng's words. Although Zhao Yueru had a chance of reaching the top five, that was only a possibility. If she encountered an expert that countered her midway through the competition, she might not even make it past the seventh round.
Although Crimson Fox's reasoning was sound, reality was cruel. After one round of competition after another, Zhao Yueru steamrolled her way through the fifth and sixth rounds, reaching the quarterfinals of the eighth round. Now, she was only one step away from reaching the top four in the ranking competition.
In contrast, Crimson Castle's progress was halted after the seventh round, with a total of 630 points.
With this result, Crimson Castle could easily rank among the top ten in the Guild. However, Crimson Fox couldn't bring himself to be happy. If Zhao Yueru won another match, Crimson Castle would lose all hope of obtaining Hidden Fog Town.
Without Hidden Fog Town, Crimson Castle's threat to the Ling YI Society would plummet. Nine Dragons Emperor wouldn't put Crimson Castle in an important position. Without Nine Dragons Emperor's support, Crimson Castle could only dream of becoming a first-rate Guild. After all, Crimson Castle had originally been a weak second-rate Guild. It had only received Nine Dragons Emperor's support because it posed a threat to the Ling YI Society.
Please don't let her pass! Crimson Fox inwardly prayed as he stared at the screen above the main stage.
After each round of the ranking competition, the order of the matches would be rearranged.
Crimson Fox's heart clenched as he looked at the player IDs flashing on the system screen.
When the battle order for the quarterfinals was decided, Crimson Fox couldn't contain his excitement.
"Wonderful! The heavens have not forsaken Crimson Castle! " When Crimson Fox saw that the first match was between Zhao Yueru and Yan Tianxing, he couldn't help but laugh.
As long as Crimson Castle won this bet, first-rate Guilds would start recruiting him.
First-rate Guilds! Countless Guilds dreamed of such a position.
"The Flame Witch is in danger. Yan Tianxing is the second-ranked Assassin on the Ranking List. He's known for his speed. She won't have an easy time using large-scale destruction Spells this time."
"Even if the Flame Witch can't defeat Yan Tianxing, she'll still lose honorably. After all, she has a class advantage."
"However, that doesn't necessarily mean that Yan Tianxing will win, right? After all, it's not easy to get close to him while he's triple-casting. If he's not careful, he'll die instantly. The Flame Witch's damage is no laughing matter. Previously, even a Shield Warrior with full HP activated Shield Wall was killed instantly, let alone an Assassin with low HP."
When the crowd saw Zhao Yueru and the skinny Yan Tianxing walk onto the stage, they cheered loudly.
As the countdown ticked down, Yan Tianxing turned to the Ling YI Society's VIP room and said loudly, "President Hei Yan, I've heard that your Guild is preparing to auction off the Adventurer's House in Stone Forest Town. If I win this match, would you be willing to give one of the Adventurer's Houses to the FFF adventurer team? Of course, if I lose, I'll pay 10,000 Magic Crystals and a treasure map to the Dragon's Graveyard! "
As soon as Yan Tianxing finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone was stupefied.
Their first reaction was to wonder what was going on.
Shouldn't Yan Tianxing be avenging Yi Luofei? Shouldn't he be bragging about defeating Zhao Yueru?
Yet, as one of the Black Dragon Empire's top adventurer teams, Yan Tianxing, the FFF's commander, had actually announced that he was preparing to garrison Stone Forest Town …
