There were very few Super Guilds in the virtual gaming world.
As one of the Super Guilds, King's Return's annual recruitment competition was a major event in the virtual gaming world.
Not to mention, the launch of God's Domain would make such a grand event even more popular.
However, to accommodate so many players, the Guild's Residence was far from enough. Hence, King's Return had come up with a solution, and that was to use the Divine Colosseum to conduct the preliminary selection.
Unlike White River City, the Divine Colosseum in the imperial capital's Divine Colosseum towered above Light City. However, the Divine Colosseum seemed to exist in a completely different world from Light City.
"The requirements for the selection this time are so high. They actually require players to reach the Trial Tower's sixth floor. I only managed to reach the fifth floor in my previous trial. I wonder if I can clear the fifth floor this time?"
"I know, right? Aren't these requirements a little too high? In the city I came from, the strongest player had only reached the sixth floor. The sixth floor is the real threshold. They're not giving us a chance at all!"
When the players who arrived at the Divine Colosseum saw King's Return's requirements, they began to complain.
The Trial Tower in the Divine Colosseum did not care about a player's level or equipment. Instead, it only cared about a player's combat standards. However, the most ridiculous part about the Trial Tower was the fact that players needed Magic Crystals to participate.
Magic Crystals had always been a rare commodity throughout God's Domain. It was extremely difficult for ordinary players to obtain one. Even expert players only had a few. Normally, these players would save on their Magic Crystals. Now, however, they had to spend one to test their Magic Crystals. If they failed to join King's Return in the end, they would suffer a huge loss.
However, just as everyone was discussing, their gazes suddenly shifted to a young man who had walked into the hall. Everyone looked at this young man with gazes of awe and envy.
This young man was none other than Hell Fiend, the host of King's Return's recruitment competition this time. He was also the adjudicator for King's Return. He was a first-rate expert in King's Return. He was also the target of their efforts.
Under everyone's gazes, Hell Fiend explained the rules to all the participants. He then entered a VIP room on the second floor and quietly observed the selection.
"Hell Fiend, there are plenty of experts participating in this year's competition. As the host of this competition, you should find an opportunity to rope in a few newcomers with potential. They might even become useful helpers for you." Praying Lotus, who watched from the second floor, noticed that quite a few experts had come to participate in the qualifier. Some of them had even reached Level 38. This was a difficult feat for independent players.
There were many factions within a Super Guild. Hence, the Super Guild's upper echelons paid special attention to the recruitment every year. Among them, it was extremely difficult to obtain the position of a Super Guild's host. Hell Fiend had only become the host after various transactions.
As Hell Fiend's host, he had the right to rope in players he favored during the competition. In fact, he could even select some newcomers with great potential after the competition ended. After a period of special training, these newcomers would quickly become experts of King's Return. They might even become the core members of King's Return. Hell Fiend had to choose these newcomers carefully.
"Don't worry. I've already investigated some of the powerful experts participating in this audition. I definitely won't let anyone else have half a potential newbie." Hell Fiend chuckled. Confidently, he continued, "If those old fellows find out that there are so many potential newcomers, they'll definitely regret this transaction."
Even before King's Return's selection officially began, Hell Fiend had sent his subordinates to investigate the list of participating experts.
Hence, he had a very clear understanding of the experts participating in this selection.
Among them, eight people had caught his attention.
Whether it was in terms of age or current strength, these eight people all had an S rank evaluation on the list.
In previous selections, it would be impressive if three or five S rank experts appeared. Now, however, there were a total of eight. Thinking of this, Hell Fiend felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. To become the host of this selection, he had paid a hefty price. He had even given up his spot on the stone tablet.
Now, however, he could obtain eight S rank newcomers in one go. This was the equivalent of hosting two selections. This was a huge profit.
What was an S rank evaluation?
It was an evaluation of an individual with a high chance of becoming a first-rate expert in the Guild in the future.
Praying Lotus had obtained an S rank evaluation in the past. Now, she had already become one of the leading figures of King's Return's younger generation.
Those old fellows can just wait. Sooner or later, King's Return will become mine. When Hell Fiend thought about how he had not only ruined Sinned Heart's transaction today, but also how the abyssal monsters had affected the Starmoon Kingdom, he was indescribably happy.
He was indeed helpless against the Ling YI Society. However, dealing with those abyssal monsters was a piece of cake.
He knew that wherever those abyssal monsters passed, not even a blade of grass would grow. Let alone White River City, even the Starmoon Kingdom's capital city would be conquered by abyssal monsters. The Lands that the Guild had gone to great lengths to purchase would also go up in smoke.
However, Hell Fiend had no intention of letting Ling Yi off so easily.
To prevent Sinned Heart from obtaining those Coins, he had even used his most precious ancient book. If he allowed the Ling YI Society to be destroyed so easily, how could he quench the rage in his heart?
He still wanted to get rid of Hei Yan and all of the Ling YI Society's upper echelons, thoroughly removing Ling Yi's name from the game.
Previously, he had been somewhat afraid of Hei Yan. However, now that he had unlocked the ancient book and obtained the power to do so, he was fully confident that he could kill Hei Yan.
Just as Hell Fiend was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly received a message that caused his expression to darken.
"Has the Ling YI Society lost its mind?!" Hell Fiend's eyes glowed with a bloody light. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to devour every member of Ling Yi alive.
"Why are you so angry? What happened?" Praying Lotus asked quietly.
"That Ling YI Society actually bought those five useless plots of Land! Now that Sinned Heart has gathered all the money, I will not let that damned Hei Yan get away with it!" Hell Fiend's sinister voice caused the temperature in the room to plummet.
"How can that be?! Snow Field City has already been occupied by abyssal monsters. The Lands there are worthless! Are all of Ling Yi's upper echelons idiots?! " Praying Lotus was shocked. She knew that Sinned Heart needed a lot of Coins. Ling Yi had spent so much money just to buy five useless plots of Land. Only a madman would do something like that.
"That damned Hei Yan! He actually dared to ruin my plans! I will let him know right now that meddling in other people's business will cost him his life!" Hell Fiend immediately stood up and said sternly, "Praying Lotus, let's leave now. I want everyone in Starmoon Kingdom to know that the Sword King Hei Yan's legendary life will come to an end today!"
"But what about the selection competition?" Praying Lotus hurriedly asked as she watched the selection begin.
"I've already notified Ordinary Stranger. When the time comes, Ordinary Stranger will represent me in selecting the experts." Hell Fiend did not wish to waste any more time. Immediately, he left the second-floor room and headed to Holy Light City's Teleportation Hall.
However, as soon as Hell Fiend stepped out of the room and into the dark corridor, several pitch-black chains emerged from the ground and bound him. The chains' speed was so fast that Hell Fiend panicked. He could not react to the situation in time.
