When the victor's name appeared above the battlefield, silence fell over the battlefield. Everyone stared at the floating words, unable to react for a long time.
"What?! Ling Yi won, just like that?! "
Everyone was confused as they watched the battle unfold.
Although the Shifeng had killed Starlink's peak experts, the Shifeng and the others weren't faring as well. After such a long battle, their Stamina and Concentration had been depleted. They'd most likely run out of Stamina and Concentration after a while.
Moreover, Ling Yi's 300-man vanguard team had less than 100 players remaining. Among them, only 60 were Refinement Realm experts. On the other hand, although Starlink's Sword Demon had died, it still had over 200 Refinement Realm experts. Ling Yi still had an overwhelming advantage over Starlink.
Most importantly, Starlink's main force had already crushed Ling Yi. Even if Ling Yi had a massive advantage in terms of peak combatants, it wouldn't be easy for Starlink to reverse the situation.
Yet, Starlink had admitted defeat, and Ling Yi had won …
"Starlink admitted defeat just like that?" Linglong Xue stared in astonishment at Lu Xingluo, who had emerged from the battlefield. This outcome had exceeded her expectations.
Starlink was the Dark Night Empire's overlord. It was also a Guild that had developed on both the eastern and western continents. It had recruited countless experts, yet it had admitted defeat …
"Hahaha! I told you that the outcome wasn't certain! Now, Ling Yi has won!" Unyielding Heart laughed when he saw Exquisite Blood.
"Don't celebrate too early. Starlink might have lost, but the fact that it admitted defeat so quickly likely means that it's trying to hide its strength," Exquisite Blood said, pursing her lips. "If Starlink is willing to hold back and not go all out in such an important competition, it's easy to imagine what Starlink's future plans are."
"However, Ling Yi still won," Unyielding Heart said, chuckling. Chuckling, Unyielding Heart said, "Every player in the Dark Night Empire is paying attention to this competition. If Ling Yi wins this competition, the powers that have no confidence in Ling Yi will turn to her side."
Although he didn't know what had happened, in the end, Zero Wing had won this 10,000-man battle.
Starting today, the Dark Night Empire would enter a new era. Starlink would no longer be the only superpower in the empire. Instead, the empire would enter an era where two superpowers would compete with each other. This was especially true for the Dark Night Empire's hesitant powers.
The Dark Night Empire was massive. On the surface, the three superpowers controlled the empire, with Starlink taking the lead. However, at the end of the day, they only controlled a few of the empire's core regions. There were far too many smaller cities in the empire's periphery.
In addition, a large number of corporations and corporations had begun to invest in God's Domain. As a result, many up-and-coming powers had begun to rise in the Dark Night Empire. These powers continued to recruit Guilds and adventurer teams to develop in the empire's periphery. They also had the financial support of corporations and corporations. These powers were just as strong as first-rate Guilds. Some were even stronger.
Although these powers were powerful, they weren't willing to submit completely to Starlink. However, they also didn't dare oppose the superpower. As a result, they had always been in an awkward position. Now that Ling Yi had defeated Starlink, these powers understood that they now had an opponent capable of contending with Starlink in the Dark Night Empire. They would definitely join Ling Yi's side and contend with Starlink as an equal in the empire.
Blood Crystal didn't say anything in response. She then turned to look at Shi Feng, who had just been teleported out of the battlefield.
"It seems I'll have to report the situation to the old commander." As Exquisite Blood looked at the Shifeng, who looked like the Grim Reaper, a plan formed in her mind.
Unyielding Heart was right.
A victory was a victory. From today onward, the Dark Night Empire would gain a new powerhouse, and this powerhouse was Ling Yi.
Meanwhile, inside one of the Divine Colosseum's VIP rooms, Happy Art stared at the results of the match in astonishment.
"Guild Leader, Ling Yi … won," Happy Art said, a little dazed.
Although she had always praised Ling Yi, she had never thought that Ling Yi could defeat Starlink in a 10,000-man battle. After all, the difference between the two was simply too massive.
"I saw it." Melancholy chuckled when he saw the dazed expression on Happy Art's face. "Ling Yi really surprised me. With such strength, we'll have a much better chance of securing the fortress. Thank you for your recommendation and report. I'll leave the matter of connecting Ling Yi to the fortress in the future. Also, tell Hei Yan that the taller trees in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Ling Yi's rapid growth will tempt even Super Guilds."
Melancholy didn't particularly care about Ling Yi's other experts, but the combat power Ling Yi's vanguard team had displayed was truly astonishing. He, more or less, understood why the Shifeng had been so confident.
Starlink's growth speed was simply too frightening. Starlink had been an unknown Guild that had risen to prominence in a small kingdom, yet it had grown to the point where it could contend with Starlink in such a short time. Moreover, Starlink had nurtured so many powerful experts. There had to be a massive secret behind the Guild's growth, and even Shi Feng was tempted to try and obtain it.
"I understand." Happy Art nodded.
While everyone in the Divine Colosseum discussed the competition's outcome, Shifeng, who had just left the battlefield, found the situation strange.
He had planned to have Ling Yi's team enter the forest and engage Starlink in a forest battle. Not only would the forest battle weaken their advantage in numbers, but it would also give them time to recover their Stamina and Concentration. They could then rely on their advantage in levels and Attributes to whittle down Starlink.
However, he hadn't expected Lu Xingluo to give up so quickly. Lu Xingluo hadn't even put up a fight. It was truly strange.
"Forget it. Forget it. We've already won," Shifeng said, shaking his head. He didn't intend to dwell on this matter.
The prestige they gained from winning this competition was the most important. Ling Yi had tried to establish a foothold in the Dark Night Empire, but he hadn't been able to do so, not even with the help of Stone Forest City. Starlink was simply too powerful.
Now that Starlink's reputation in the Dark Night Empire had plummeted due to this battle, Zero Wing's reputation in the empire would reach its peak. Once the war was over, Zero Wing could start frantically recruiting talents from the empire.
If a Guild wanted to become a true superpower, it needed a large number of talents and experts.
Although Ling Yi had already surpassed first-rate Guilds in this regard, he was still a far cry from the various superpowers. This was evident from this battle. If the number of Refinement Realm experts Ling Yi possessed was already so large, the gap between the various superpowers and Starlink's was even greater.
If the Guild wanted more Refinement Realm experts, it needed to recruit a large number of talents and experts. The Starmoon Kingdom alone wasn't enough.
Most importantly, Ling Yi had already revealed too much of his strength in this competition. He would definitely attract the interest and ambitions of many superpowers. He needed to increase Ling Yi's strength as soon as possible.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng shifted his gaze to the 10,000 Ancient Gold he had won from Lu Xingluo.
That was 10,000 Ancient Gold he was talking about!
Even Lu Xingluo wouldn't have an easy time obtaining so many Ancient Gold coins. If not for the fact that he had set the price before the competition, Lu Xingluo would've most likely broken the contract. After all, it was simply too difficult to earn Ancient Gold coins. Most experts only earned Ancient Copper coins, and very few earned Ancient Silver coins. Only superpowers had the means to earn Ancient Gold coins.
It's about time I made a trip to Dragonheart Island, Shifeng thought, smiling faintly.
Originally, he had planned to wait until he had participated in Thirteen Thrones' fortress exploration. Now that he had so much Ancient Gold, he could take part in the exploration of Dragonheart Island.
