On the morning of November 9th, the results of the third round of Battle of the Four Worlds were released, and the top 32 of Tournament for the Best S2 had been decided.
After this round, there were three things worth mentioning.
First of all, among the remaining 32 teams, only Underworld Frontline and Trash Alliance were not operated by a studio. Considering that the four main members of Loser Alliance were all professional players, Underworld Frontline was the only non-professional team left in the competition.
Secondly, in this round, all the teams from Zombie Blade had been eliminated. Although the number of teams they sent out was the largest among all the large Studios, in the top 32 … they didn't even occupy a single spot.
Thirdly, on the morning after the third round of the semi-finals ended, Dream Inc. suddenly announced a surprising piece of news on their official website.
Before this announcement was released, most of the people who followed the competition, including Feng Bujue, believed that the finals of Tournament for the Best S2 would start after the two teams were eliminated from the semi-finals. However, this speculation … was completely overturned by Dream Company.
Based on the official announcement, the second round of Tournament for the Best S2, Battle of the Four Worlds, would end after the top four were decided. The final match, [Twilight of the Gods], would be a free-for-all between the four teams.
Once this news was released, it created a ripple effect. The strategy of the various gaming studios was instantly disrupted. Originally, they needed to win four more rounds to advance to the final round, but now they only needed to win three more rounds. The various uncertainties in the finals also multiplied. Therefore, a series of collection, calculation, deduction, and adjustment work … appeared out of thin air.
Of course, for Feng Bujue and Hong Hu, this sudden change did not bring much pressure. This was because they did not have the support of a gaming studio. In other words … there was not much room for adjustment. No matter how different the competition format was from their expectations, the only thing they could do was to make adjustments before the competition.
…
On November 10th, at 8 am, the fourth round of the semi-finals was announced.
Of the sixteen matches in this round, there were four matches, and they could be considered the highlight of the competition.
First match, Underworld Frontline VS Team Two of Gods.
The reason why this match had become the focus of attention was simple. Everything related to the Underworld Frontline had become the focus of attention.
Due to their low-key performance in the preliminaries, Brother Jue and the others' explosive performance in the semi-finals was particularly dazzling. In each of the three semi-finals, they had completely crushed their opponents. Such an achievement was enough to make them publicly recognized as the number one dark horse.
In addition, the Underworld Frontline's strength, character, appearance, and so on had also won them quite a bit of popularity. Even though this popularity was mixed with many cultists and Feng Bujue's worshippers …

The second match was between Warring States Team One and Constellation Team One.
The reason these two teams were the focus of attention was mainly because the information about them was very valuable.
As mentioned before, Sengoku Studio was a foreign studio that joined the game after S1. The local players and studios weren't very familiar with their situation. Other than the fact that the main members were all Japanese players, the only thing that could be confirmed at this stage was that … [Sengoku Team 1] had easily advanced with a perfect record. They were very strong.
And their opponent, Constellation Team One, was needless to say … Even if the normal players did not watch the matches of the Munitions Factory, the various studios would. Perhaps the current main player in their team would become your main player in the future.
Furthermore, Flying Pegasus, the champion of S1, was also in the team. Regarding the 'mysterious prize' that he had received in S1, there were still many rumors. Even though Brother Jue and a few others knew that the prize that he had received could not be used in the game, that was not made public.
Therefore, many of the investigators from the studios were still wary of the prize that Brother Jue had received in the previous competition, and they paid close attention to his every move. It was as if it would be abnormal if Brother Jue did not take out one or two items like nuclear bombs or use a skill like Vitality Bomb.

Next up was the third match, Hyotei VS Order Team One.
Regardless of whether you believe it or not, in the eyes of the outside world, Hyotei was a strong team that had the potential to defeat Order Team One. In terms of results, both teams had advanced to the next round with a perfect record, and in the semi-finals, they did not give it their all.
Even though most people thought that Order Team One had a higher chance of winning, they did not think that Hyotei had no chance. But for those who watched the live broadcast of the two teams, they felt that the match would be a stalemate. At least it would not be a one-sided situation.

Finally, it was the fourth match, Red Sakura Team One VS Order Team Two.
In a sense, all of Red Sakura Team One's matches were focused battles. Xu Huai Shang's personal popularity did not need to be mentioned. Even her three teammates were extremely skilled female players. Naturally, such a team would not lack spectators at every match.
In this round, they met Order Team Two, which was undoubtedly a strong opponent.
Out of all the pro teams that had entered the semi-finals, only Order and Brahman were considered to have the strength to win the championship. This … was the strength of the "best in the industry." Regardless of whether Red Sakura admitted it or not, there was not much of a difference between Order Team Two and Order Team One. At the very least, they were on the same level.
Therefore, this match could very well be Xu Huai Shang's curtain call in S2 …
…
November 10th, 11: 55 pm, Underworld Frontline meeting room.
"Okay, the deployment for this match … You all understand it right?" Feng Bujue sat at the head of the table, munching on potato chips as he spoke to his teammates with a lazy expression.
In the last twenty minutes, he had already explained all the important points to pay attention to in the upcoming match. There was only one reason for him to do so — he had decided to be a substitute for this match.
"I understand …" Miss An was the first to respond, "But … This is already the fourth round of the semi-finals, is it really okay for me to participate?"
"Don't worry, I have my reasons for doing so." Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "Even though your mastery level is slightly out of line with your character level, you are still very strong. There is no need to underestimate yourself." He shrugged, "Furthermore … it was not easy for you to get away from the mess with Zombie Blade, shouldn't you take the time to vent?"
"Then, I should thank you for that." An Yueqin narrowed her eyes, "But, you still haven't told us … How did you deal with that …" She paused, "To be honest … you did do something illegal, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue replied in a calm tone.
"Huh?" An Yueqin was shocked, "You actually admitted it …"
"So be it," Feng Bujue replied, "Even if I don't admit it, you all think the same, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Tan immediately nodded in agreement.
Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling remained silent and did not comment.
In the eyes of Spiritual Ability users like them, the authority of the "law" was limited. In fact, even people like "Jiang Daode" viewed the law from a different perspective than the average person, let alone people like them who possessed supernatural powers.
As for people like Feng Bujue … before he met Woody, he was already a bit of a sociopath. Now, he was obviously in an even more unscrupulous state.
"Then, isn't that enough?" Feng Bujue said.
"What do you mean by that?" An Yueqin looked at Brother Jue with concern. "I don't want the author I'm responsible for to be detained during the company's promotion."
"Don't worry about that," Brother Jue said. "I won't be arrested."
"Where does your confidence come from?" An Yueqin asked.
"Go home and ask your great-grandfather," Feng Bujue replied casually with his hands behind his head.
"Hey! I'm worried about you. What's with that attitude of yours? "An Yueqin said angrily.
"I'm serious." Brother Jue replied, "You can go home and ask your great-grandfather … Professor An Si, the founder of Sirui Group … He will explain to you … why I'm so confident."
