In the individual rounds, Lu Li had defeated five of the Imperial Secret Service's players by himself. In the group rounds, he didn't even need to substitute in. Ruling Sword had eliminated the Imperial Secret Service and eliminated this ambitious guild from the top 50.
At the end of the year, Ruling Sword finally broke through all obstacles and entered the top 16.
There wasn't much suspense in this year's top 16. There weren't any dark horses like in the Shadow Cup.
On the point rankings, The Capital of Glory was at the top. Their players were relatively strong and they hadn't encountered any strong teams. Although they had lost to Seventh Heaven, they still had a high number of points that other guilds couldn't match.
In second place was Ruling Sword.
Ruling Sword had arranged for Kitty Likes Meat, Fei Houzi, and even Sakura Memories to fight in the individual rounds. As a result, they lost a lot of points.
However, at the same time, they also defeated Seventh Heaven and Wings of Dawn in the group matches. They were the only team to win all the group matches in the first season of the league.
In third place was Wings of Dawn. They had defeated The Capital of Glory, but lost to Ruling Sword.
In fourth place was Seventh Heaven. They had also lost to Ruling Sword, as well as Peerless City. At that time, Lucky Southern Persian hadn't learned Infinite Polymorph yet. The two teams fought fiercely, and it was one of the most iconic scenes of the tournament.
In fifth place was naturally Peerless City and in sixth place was Blood Red War Flag.
Drizzle Court had fought against Peerless City, Wings of Dawn and Blood Red War Flag in a row. After three tough battles, they were in seventh place.
Below them were Gale Legion, Azure Guard, Majin Temple, Lan Yu, Purple Lunar Paradise, Stellar Union, Grand Hegemony, Eternal Kingdom, Brotherhood and Gods of Dusk.
Points didn't determine the final rankings, let alone the championship and runner-up.
Overall, the top 16 was still dominated by the major guilds. They had a strong foundation and most of them had extra financial support, so they wouldn't fall anytime soon.
However, it wasn't like there weren't any surprises.
The first surprise was the Gangnam Royals and Peacetime Dynasty. These two veteran guilds didn't make it to the next round and were both excluded from the top 16.
Currently, in any competition in the gaming circle, most people paid attention to the top 100. This was the ticket for the club guilds.
Meanwhile, the top 16 was another milestone. Only those who made it into the top 16 qualified to be a super-large Guild. Over time, the top 16 became the publicly acknowledged hall of glory in the gaming circle.
These two guilds had been going downhill.
However, no one expected them to drop out of the top 16, especially the Gangnam Royals. On the guild leaderboard last year, they were second only to the Capital of Glory. Now, they had dropped to 20th place. The financial group behind them probably wanted to hire assassins to kill them.
Instead, it was Lan Yu and Grand Hegemony.
Grand Hegemony was the guild that Drinking Alone, Northern Tang Dream, and Northern Tang Kitty were in when Lu Li first entered the game. The guild leader, Emperor Hegemony, had great ambitions but little talent, so the guild was never very popular. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

After the Shadow Cup, they received a large financial group's investment. It was said that they paid a huge price.
Although Emperor Hegemony was still the guild leader, they had lost almost all of their authority. The new club manager took over most of the management. He used scientific methods to set up the guild system, increased the incentive system, and also spent a lot of money to poach a group of non-core players from other clubs. He hired what could be considered the best coach in the industry.
After such a bold and decisive reorganization, he actually managed to do it.
A guild that wasn't in the top 50 on the guild leaderboards suddenly jumped into the top 16. Many people started to pay attention to the management of their guilds and clubs. Some financial groups started to enter the game, using various methods to arrange for their own people, and hiring professional managers to manage the guild.
There were pros and cons to this. After all, professional managers didn't understand the game as much as these veteran players and retired professional players.
The other guild that made it onto the leaderboards was Lan Yu, who was ranked even higher than Emperor Hegemony.
This winter, Lan Yu went from 33rd place to 11th place, almost entering the top 10. They became a dark horse that was even more of a dream team than Grand Hegemony.
The players from Grand Hegemony were actually all familiar faces. They had all been poached from the other big guilds.
On the other hand, Lan Yu's lineup was completely new. The seven players were all new faces. When they stood on the stage for the first time, they collectively trembled. It was unknown whether it was nervousness or excitement, or both. The female Priest, Almond Jelly, even cried as she competed.
This guild was established thanks to the financial support of Drizzle Court. Even if it wasn't considered a branch of Drizzle Court, it wasn't much different.
The purpose of Drizzle Court's financial support was to nurture their own players. They had established a training base in this guild's city. Every year, they would select a few young players to receive various kinds of training. When they were ready, they would be sent onto the stage.
If they performed well, they would be sent to the main guild of Drizzle Court. If they didn't perform well, they would either stay or be sent to other branches.
This time, there were exactly seven people who graduated from the training.
They collectively requested to form a team to compete on the stage. Perhaps Water Fairy thought it was interesting, so she approved their request. Thus, Lan Yu's team appeared in front of the world with a brand new lineup.
These seven rookies stumbled along the way and actually charged into the top 16.
The moment the top 16 results came out, the headquarters finally decided to retain their lineup and not allow Lan Yu to become a talent reserve for Drizzle Court. Hard work always paid off. They had obtained the independent status of Peerless City.
Some media reports said that although the Lan Yu guild had a history of two to three years, and the club had been established for more than a year, the real Lan Yu was born this winter.
Lu Li calmly observed all this, not panicking at all as he did his own things.
Most of the time was spent on leveling up. A small portion of the time was spent on the arena. The rest of the time was spent on Forging and Engineering. For Forging, he had all kinds of materials and blueprints. With an exquisite Forging Hammer in hand, there was no doubt that he had reached the Expert level.
Engineering was a bumpy journey. If it wasn't for blueprints, then it was for materials.
However, after a long period of accumulation, he finally reached the Expert level. He was finally able to create Goblin Jumper Cables and Perfect Arcanite Rifles.
Goblin Jumper Cables!
Blueprint: Goblin Jumper Cables
Recipe: Engineering
Requirement: Expert Engineering (260)
Use: Teaches you how to create Goblin Jumper Cables.
Goblin Jumper Cables: The Jumper Cables can sometimes revive a dead ally. It cannot be used in battle.
The Goblin Jumper Cables required Expert Engineering Level 260, which was slightly higher than the Expert Engineering Level 250 for the Perfect Arcanite Rifles. As such, Lu Li borrowed money to buy some materials and planned to first create five Perfect Arcanite Rifles.
Even if he took away the one promised to Water Fairy, he would still be left with four.
He would use one for himself, sell one to Moonlight at cost price, and sell the remaining three to the members of the guild. It was just enough to earn back the materials for himself and Water Fairy.
