Chapter 121: Auction Preparation!
After parting ways with Li Jue, Wen Yu turned and entered his "residence."
He began to summarize his recent dungeon trip.
"As expected, the problem I was worried about has occurred. Although my damage output is no longer a major issue, my shield is, more or less, insufficient when facing an immortal-rank boss."
"It's Time to settle down and grind some rabbits."
Furthermore, Wen Yu had roughly deduced the attributes of [Akailer].
"Level 100 immortal-rank boss, total HP of 6 million. It summons a Void Rift every Time it loses 20% of its HP. It has Dark Beam and a Dark Magic Array."
"I don't know if it has any other skills."
"I also have no idea what's going on with the [Emblem] above its head."
"As for its defense, after my defense-ignoring reduction, it's 30,000."
"Its attack power is likely 100,000, and with a smaller probability, 200,000."
"It's truly terrifying."
Sighing, Wen Yu looked at his experience points. After finishing today's dungeons, plus the 2.4 million provided by Akailer.
At this moment, Wen Yu's level had reached 58 (764,295 / 8,112,000).
Wen Yu was already quite satisfied with the current leveling experience. He could gain one or two levels every day.
He took the [Narcissus Ring] out of his backpack and checked it again.
Wen Yu pondered for a long Time, then slowly shook his head.
"I won't materialize it yet; I'll hoard the equipment materialization cards as well."
Firstly, because Wen Yu was already sufficiently exaggerated in reality, he didn't need this to enhance himself for the Time being.
Secondly, now that he knew about the existence of equipment potential cards, Wen Yu felt that materializing it directly without adding potential would be a loss no matter how he thought about it.
And adding potential wasn't something that could be completed overnight.
——————
Removing his helmet, the Time had reached 7:15.
"I missed half of the National News Broadcast~"
However, the National News Broadcast these past few days hadn't been interesting at all.
The topics regarding After Tomorrow were basically all interviews.
After watching for a while, Wen Yu lost interest.
After eating, he didn't log back into the game immediately.
He hadn't gone out for a stroll in a long Time, and tonight Wen Yu wanted to go out and walk around.
He would treat it as a post-meal walk.
He took a taxi back to the residential complex where his previous rental apartment was located.
It wasn't even 8 PM yet, but many shops were already closed. He didn't know if they would ever open again.
There were also far fewer pedestrians on the street than before.
Most of them were older people out for a walk.
It was really rare to see young people anymore.
Wen Yu felt that the country needed to introduce relevant policies to regulate this.
Otherwise, if things continued like this, Huaxia's real economy might completely collapse.
It might even eventually lead to a situation where the people have nothing to eat.
However, Wen Yu didn't know exactly what policies should be introduced.
——————
"Ding!~"
"Region Announcement: The second round of the Huaxia Region fun event will begin in 30 minutes! Please, the 1000 qualified players, be prepared!"
Time flew by until 8:30 in the morning. The system prompt had already sounded, and at this moment, Wen Yu was chatting enthusiastically with Chen Ping, the City Lord of Glory City.
Wen Yu planned to hold the auction after this fun event concluded.
As for the location, Wen Yu had come to ask Chen Ping if it could be held in the City Lord's Mansion of Glory City.
Chen Ping naturally had no objections to this; after all, he was an Enforcer who had gone out from Glory City.
Giving the green light for this was absolutely no problem.
Last night, after Wen Yu wandered home, he logged back on and grinded rabbits for over 3 hours. During this Time, friends kept messaging him to ask what kind of super divine artifact he was preparing for the final auction!
Yes, this was how Li Jue was promoting it on the forum.
"Battling the immortal-rank boss with [Time]! The terrifying [Akailer]! Super divine artifact auction!"
Wen Yu also went to watch the video Li Jue posted, and this Time it was released for free.
It is worth mentioning that even underground, Li Jue's screen recording still clearly captured both Wen Yu and the boss.
Of course, the video came to an abrupt end after Li Jue died and returned to the city.
Everyone saw the boss's terrifying Void Rift, which left the players with endless imagination.
OP: After watching the video, you should understand the value of [Akailer]. We dropped a super divine artifact that we had never imagined! I dare not enjoy it alone, so I have decided to auction it off after the current fun event ends! The location is undecided. Interested friends, please consult [Time] or the in-game/forum ID [I Can Fly]!
1st Floor: I didn't really feel the value of Akailer, but I did feel the value of Time. How did he just burst 1.2 million HP off an immortal-rank boss like that?
2nd Floor (OP): According to Time himself, he narrowly escaped death several Times while battling [Akailer], but I'm very sorry, I died too early. I wasn't able to record this exciting scene for everyone.
...
Regaining his focus, Wen Yu prepared to continue preparing for the fun event.
"Ding!~"
"The second round is now starting! 1000 into 100!"
"The first match of the second round will begin in 30 seconds!"
"Note: After the match begins, you will be automatically teleported into the combat zone!"
"Note: The match duration is 10 minutes. If a winner cannot be decided within 10 minutes, the side with the better status wins."
"Note: There is no penalty for death during combat."
"Please be prepared!"
...
"Phew, it still won't end today, huh? 1000 to 100, are we playing three matches?"
Having reached the top 1000 duels, except for the unlucky Dynasty members previously eliminated by Wen Yu, these were truly the current national top 1000.
Wen Yu braced himself with full focus!
"Ding!~"
"You have entered the combat space. Entering this space defaults to resetting all skill cooldowns!"
Wen Yu also sized up his opponent, only to discover that the opponent's ID prefix was actually Wind and Cloud.
[Wind and Cloud - Wanderer in the Clouds]
"I didn't expect that even after fighting so miserably against War God, there are still people from Wind and Cloud who could rush into the top 1000 in such a short Time," Wen Yu thought to himself.
In Wen Yu's opinion, those two guilds should have had no one left to fight at this moment.
However, after recalling carefully, Wen Yu remembered who the other person was.
The Vice Guild Leader of Wind and Cloud, whom he had seen in the attendee list for the [First Huaxia Discussion Meeting]. At the meeting, it was him who had argued with the Vice Guild Leader of War God.
He carefully examined the opponent's equipment: "I didn't expect that even after fighting so miserably, he still managed to get a Hidden Class."
Just as he was about to say hello, Wanderer in the Clouds on the other side spoke first.
"Big Shot Time, I've long admired you."
"Likewise, Vice Guild Leader of Wind and Cloud."
"Big Shot, can we add each other as friends after the fight? We also want to participate in the auction you're hosting."
Wen Yu naturally nodded. Adding a friend who wanted to send him money was no problem. Besides, Wind and Cloud was a large guild, and they would inevitably have contact in the future.
After communicating, the two stopped talking. Wanderer in the Clouds clearly didn't intend to just give up like this. He set up his formation, prepared to fight a match against Wen Yu!
Knowing full well there are tigers on the mountain! Going towards the tiger mountain anyway!
***
Chapter 122: Top 100 of the Martial Arts Tournament!
Wen Yu wasn't in a rush, just watching.
Since Wanderer in the Clouds was preparing to attack, it wouldn't hurt to see the strength of his skills.
Activating Magic Shield, Wen Yu just stood there.
Wanderer in the Clouds clearly saw through Wen Yu's intent.
"I must show my own momentum!"
Draw the bow! Shoot!
The arrow shot straight toward Wen Yu, and just as it was about to reach him, a phoenix cry suddenly rang out!
The arrow then transformed into a giant firebird, charging straight at Wen Yu, before turning into an ocean of flames that engulfed everything within a 50-meter radius around him.
The damage wasn't high, depleting over 2,000 HP per second on Wen Yu's shield. It lasted for 10 seconds before the flames extinguished.
"This should be his Hidden Class's unique Second Class Transfer AoE skill. The damage isn't bad."
Wanderer in the Clouds continued by activating his unique Second Class Transfer buff skill, [Eagle Eye].
An eye-like mark, resembling an eagle's, flickered above Wanderer in the Clouds' head.
Then, focusing his mind, he drew his bow to the limit once again.
"Concentrated Strike!"
Light traveled from the bow to the arrow, and then a brilliant golden light erupted!
Charging complete, he shot an arrow toward Wen Yu.
Dodging was impossible—or rather, he wouldn't dodge; how else would he test the strength?
The contact between the golden arrow and the Magic Shield didn't produce any surprises.
A damage value of -21592 floated above Wen Yu's head.
"Not good enough. Your ace skill only dealt 20,000-plus damage to me."
"Do you want to change your class?"
"...?"
Today's second round of duels successfully determined the Top 100.
However, it took a full four matches.
Of the four opponents Wen Yu encountered, only Wanderer in the Clouds had a Hidden Class; the others were ordinary classes.
None of them had a particularly strong Talent that could deplete much of Wen Yu's HP.
It is worth mentioning that all four were guild players.
Wen Yu let them all show what they could do.
And then... he put in a plug for his business.
The event ended, and just as he was preparing to continue grinding dungeons, a system prompt interrupted Wen Yu's steps.
"Ding!~"
"Region Announcement: The third round of the Huaxia Region fun event will begin in 30 minutes! Please, the 100 qualified players, be prepared!"
"Spectator access is now temporarily enabled; you may choose to watch the duels of players you are interested in!"
...There's actually spectator access now...
Wen Yu felt that when he fought later, he might be watched by hundreds of millions of people...
Since the event wasn't over yet, Wen Yu couldn't be bothered to go dungeon grinding in the meantime.
Human King City! I'm back, dammit!
"Ding!~"
"Now starting the third round: Top 100 Round-Robin, 100 to 10!"
"The first match of the third round will begin in 30 seconds!"
"Note: Top 100 Round-Robin! Every player completes 10 matches! The top 10 will advance to the Regional Top 10!"
"Note: After this competition ends, the Regional Combat Power Top 100 Ranking will be enabled!"
Wen Yu, who was busy grinding monsters, looked up. A new leaderboard was about to be released.
And starting from the Top 100, it was a round-robin tournament.
...The Top 100 tournament finally started to feel somewhat interesting to Wen Yu.
From Time to Time, players would provide Wen Yu with surprises. In the seventh match of the Top 100, Wen Yu saw something interesting.
"Clone!"
The opposing player shouted, and four "players" similar to the original body instantly split off from him.
The equipment on the clones was exactly the same as the original body.
Seeing the opponent's ID, Wen Yu understood.
"It seems this is the person listed as having an A-rank Talent on the Sharp Blade Talent list."
With such a Talent, he was naturally one of the key cultivation targets of Sharp Blade.
He naturally received a Hidden Class as well, a warrior Hidden Class.
And the strength wasn't low; he could attack Wen Yu from a very far distance.
The original body swung his blade three Times in succession, and three wind blades flew toward Wen Yu.
What surprised Wen Yu was that the wind blades weren't the final form of the skill; halfway through flight, they seemed to gather all the wind energy in the space.
Three tornadoes formed in front of Wen Yu and rushed toward him at an even faster speed!
The clones didn't use the same skill simultaneously; two clones used ranged attacks along with the original body, while the other two approached Wen Yu at extreme speed.
The damage dealt to the Magic Shield was indeed impressive.
This wasn't one of Wen Yu's potential clients; he didn't need to change his class.
Wen Yu shook his head and took the enemy out with a single Chain Lightning.
...In the eighth match, the opponent was Ghost Show White Book. Wen Yu knew that Ghost Show White Book's class strength wasn't high.
Without knowing what his Talent was, Wen Yu guessed that he likely wouldn't make it into the Top 10.
"But this is a potential client of mine."
As for Ghost Show White Book, he had run dungeons with Wen Yu twice, so he understood Wen Yu's strength.
"Luck really isn't on my side; first I ran into the Female War God, and then I ran into you, Time."
"It's a round-robin, and the result is that I keep playing against the strong ones? I suppose that's my fate." After saying this, he prepared to forfeit.
"Don't rush! Good brother!"
"?"
"Do you want to change your class? Let me tell you, Hidden Classes can be changed again."
"As long as you have a Hidden Class scroll in your hand, if you're not satisfied, you can change it again. Amazing, right?"
"I have extra scrolls on hand; come attend the auction later!"
"Get Doomsday to buy one for you! Restore your manly vigor!"
"..."
Ghost Show White Book conceded; it was unclear whether he had taken Wen Yu's words to heart.
...In the ninth match, a Sharp Blade player once again chose to concede directly.
In his words, he had to concede; if he didn't, his gold coins would be completely looted by Wen Yu!
"What was your name again? Demon Pact, right?"
The Demon Pact Talent allows one to use money to offset damage, but this class has a drawback.
That is, when taking damage, it's not that if I have a certain amount of max HP, that's the maximum amount of money you can make me lose.
Rather, it's based on how much money I have for deductions, and your maximum output is how much money you can deplete.
If there isn't enough money, the gold coins go to 0, and the person dies.
The Sharp Blade assassin player currently only had over 10,000 HP, but he had a lot of gold coins on him.
If Wen Yu hit him once, he wouldn't just lose over 10,000 gold; it was possible his gold would be completely wiped out in one go.
After understanding the situation, Sharp Blade had already deprioritized the Demon Pact Talent.
However, they couldn't be bothered to update the Talent leaderboard.
"..." Wen Yu felt that not changing it was fine; this Talent was still strong, it was just that his own output was simply too high.
Other players trying to hit 1 million gold would have been killed in retaliation long ago.
"Thinking quite highly of yourself; if it could only deal 10,000 damage, you would have become an S-rank Talent long ago."
"If you gave this Talent to Akailer, he would be willing to trade a black magician job change scroll with you for it."
"6 million HP; if I had to hit him 600 Times, I would have been killed and deformed by him long ago."
In the final match of the Top 100 tournament, Wen Yu encountered an unexpected opponent once again.
Wen Yu looked at the opponent, and the opponent looked at Wen Yu.
"Heh, it's you."
"What a coincidence."
"Don't you dare concede, I've been wanting to hammer you for a long Time."
"..."
***
Chapter 123: Wen Yu VS Li Jue
"..."
"Didn't you just hammer me a couple of days ago after fighting the Pegasus?"
"That doesn't count."
"Why doesn't it count..."
Li Jue was truly speechless. He had been comfortably coasting along, and currently, relying on [Trace Amount], he managed to drag every fight out to the full 10 minutes.
He was practically a master of draws.
Although he didn't dare to hope for the top 10, improving his ranking a little wasn't a problem.
He could also secure a decent ranking on the upcoming Top 100 list.
He had been having fun, but now he couldn't enjoy it anymore.
"How many people have contacted you wanting to participate in our auction?" Wen Yu asked.
"Quite a few. All the major guilds have sent me messages saying they want to participate, and some strong solo players have also expressed interest."
"I've already talked to the Lord of Glory City, and the auction will be held at the City Lord's Mansion," Wen Yu continued. "There will definitely be too many people to fit, so once the event is over later, put together a list for me, and I'll go bring them in."
"Only guild leaders and vice-leaders can participate. As for solo players, we'll check their strength. The number of allowed participants definitely won't be high."
"Let's set the auction time for 3:00 PM tomorrow sharp. At this rate, the event should be over by tomorrow at the latest."
Wen Yu wasn't just saying this for Li Jue to hear; it was also for the countless people watching his match.
Li Jue nodded.
"Come on, fight me head-on! Let me see what you, Li, are capable of."
"If your strength isn't up to par, I'll change your class for you!"
"..."
This was the first time Wen Yu had seen Li Jue's combat style, and he had to admit it was indeed quite troublesome.
The stealth alone was already something ordinary players couldn't see through.
Once he turned into [Trace Amount], he was even harder to find, as the target was in an unselectable state.
If you released a large-area skill, Li Jue could even tunnel underground.
Li Jue also displayed his strength, activating [Trace Amount] to circle behind Wen Yu. When the time was right, he would deactivate [Trace Amount] to strike Wen Yu, then immediately re-enter [Trace Amount].
-6294 (Critical Hit)!
"Almost all of your skills enhance stealth, with significant improvements to duration and cooldown reduction."
However, Wen Yu also knew that Li Jue's Talent was very poor. He had heard him mention once before that it increased the effect of one of the skills of the Assassin Second Class Transfer class [Raider] by 200%.
Wen Yu had forgotten which skill it was, but after changing classes to [Trace Amount Assassin], the Talent was effectively completely useless.
However, Wen Yu felt that changing to [Trace Amount Assassin] was still more reliable than changing to a normal class just for the boost to that one skill.
And this class was truly suitable for Li Jue.
Li Jue also demonstrated tunneling in front of Wen Yu.
Back at the [Temple of Time], his attention had been too focused, so he hadn't noticed Li Jue.
Now he saw that even when underground, Wen Yu could still see Li Jue's position.
"This should also count as manipulating space, right?"
...
Wen Yu and Li Jue naturally dragged the time out almost to the limit; it was good to let Li Jue farm some more points off Wen Yu.
When the time was about to run out, Li Jue chose to concede.
Wen Yu shook his head: "This class is quite strong; Li Jue doesn't need to change classes."
He had lost a potential customer, Li!
Oh, you're a shareholder, then that's fine.
——————
"Ding!~"
"Region Announcement: The fourth round of the Huaxia Region fun event will start tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM! Please prepare, players who have advanced to the top 10!"
Wen Yu naturally advanced to the top 10 with a perfect record, though he didn't know who else was still in.
However, he guessed it was just those few on the leaderboard.
During the Top 100 tournament, Wen Yu was PKing while also farming monsters in Human King City.
His experience had now reached level 58 (6,285,922 / 8,112,000).
"Let's run dungeons. If everything goes as expected, I should be able to reach level 60 today."
It took three hours to clear all the dungeons.
Finally, another level 60 set accessory dropped for Wen Yu.
[Judgment Bracelet] (Epic)
Level: 60
Magic Attack +800
Intelligence +200
Agility +200
Luck +5
Set Effect (1/5): None
Class Requirement: Mage
"As expected, it's no different from what I guessed: 200 Intelligence and 200 Agility."
Wen Yu was gradually getting the hang of it; for accessory sets, it completely depended on whether the set effect was good or not.
The bonuses didn't make much of a difference to him anymore.
And he would likely continue using the Wind and Cloud five-piece set for a long time. Wen Yu didn't think the three-piece Judgment set would be more reliable than the defense ignore provided by the Wind and Cloud five-piece set.
After today's dungeons, Wen Yu's level finally reached 60 (961,922 / 8,512,000).
"OK, nothing to do today, just farming rabbits~"
——————
The next morning, Wen Yu got up very early, ate breakfast in a hurry, and logged on.
He glanced at his Intelligence attribute, which had reached 245,192 + 1,100 + 22,111.
"It's definitely enough for today's top 10 tournament, but as my level increases, the bosses I encounter are getting stronger and stronger. My shield value is definitely still not enough."
After logging off last night, Wen Yu had been thinking about what kind of 10-man team ordinary players would need to defeat someone with the attributes of [Akailer].
And how exactly were they supposed to dodge that spatial rift?
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
"Ding!~"
"Region Announcement: The fourth round of the Huaxia Region fun event will start in 30 minutes! Please prepare, the 10 players who have advanced."
"In 20 minutes, all players will be teleported into the arena in advance!"
...
"They aren't even giving me time to farm monsters today."
Complaining, Wen Yu took out his [equipment potential attachment card].
He had originally planned to save them for later, but since he couldn't do anything in these 20 minutes, he might as well attach some potentials to kill time.
Wen Yu targeted his [space hat].
Potential:
Agility +6 Agility +12 All Attributes +10
For Wen Yu, it could be said that these three stats offered no improvement.
He used three [equipment potential elimination card]s in one go to wipe out all the potentials.
"fujian roasted mouse! You must give me some good stats!"
[space hat]
Potential:
Movement Speed +10% Strength +3 Physical Attack +60
"..."
Continue!
[space hat]
Potential:
Agility +6 Intelligence +3 Physical Attack +100
"..."
"What kind of trash is this? Is it really this hard?"
"So, when I managed to roll 6% Intelligence on the space robe in one go, that was just extremely lucky, right?"
Two attempts directly cost Wen Yu 1.8 million gold coins.
"Truly terrifying. I've actually experienced what it means to spend money like water."
But he definitely couldn't stop.
He still had plenty of gold coins, and if he ran out, he would have more after the auction ended.
"Continue!"
***
Chapter 124: The Top 10 Tournament Begins!
[space hat]
Potential:
Critical Damage +3% Constitution +3 Intelligence +6
"Yo! Who would have thought this entry would include a Critical Damage attribute?"
"Does that mean there's also Critical Rate?"
Wen Yu pondered this carefully.
"I'm about to hit max Critical Rate."
"So, between Critical Damage boost and a flat Intelligence bonus, which one is actually more useful to me?"
"It should still be the flat Intelligence attribute bonus, right? After all, Magic Shield doesn't care about your Critical Damage."
Although he had figured it out, Wen Yu didn't plan on replacing the Critical Damage just yet.
After the emergency with his Magic Shield, Wen Yu wasn't planning to worry about Constitution for the Time being.
His mana was now over 20,000, which was more than enough for now, so there was no need to boost it in the short term.
...
Just like that, Wen Yu kept adding and removing potential.
Stuck at the 20-minute mark, he finally managed to roll a relatively decent result for the [space hat]'s potential.
[space hat]
Potential:
Critical Damage +3% Intelligence +3% Intelligence +12
To Wen Yu's surprise, even though the gear's Intelligence didn't reach the level of the space robe, the system still upgraded the hat's potential grade to A!
"In other words, according to the system's definition, Critical Damage is more important than the Intelligence attribute."
"But that's probably just for ordinary players, right?"
The system didn't understand Wen Yu's situation; if one had a few thousand Intelligence, maybe Critical Damage would be better.
But what if one had tens of millions of Intelligence?...
——————
A flash of white light, and Wen Yu vanished from the spot.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the battle space.
Wen Yu finally had Time to take a look at who the other nine people were.
[Dynasty - Emperor]
[Fantasy - Doomsday]
[Still Not Calling Mom]
[Sharp Blade - Wang Bin]
[Sharp Blade - Qi Yue]
[Dragon Lord]
[Dynasty - Morning Star]
[Hidden Kill - Asura is Here]
[Gathering Righteousness - Righteous Brother]
"Are the Warrior Hidden Classes really that strong?"
Wen Yu couldn't help but be surprised. Gathering Righteousness - Righteous Brother, Dynasty - Morning Star, Dragon Lord, and Ye Qian.
In the top 10, there were actually four Warriors.
Besides them, there were two Archers, Sharp Blade - Wang Bin and Dynasty - Emperor.
Two Assassins, Hidden Kill - Asura is Here and Sharp Blade - Qi Yue.
The rest were naturally Wen Yu and Fantasy - Doomsday.
The top 10 list was more or less what Wen Yu had expected.
"Brother Rong actually didn't make it into the top 10. I wonder who he ran into in here..."
"Snake Granny didn't make it either. Does that terrifying immunity to instant death not work here?"
"Morning Star actually got in..."
"Looks like this clown really does have his own unique strengths!"
...
Wen Yu was sizing them up, and everyone else was sizing each other up as well.
Among them, the person being watched the most intensely was Dynasty - Emperor.
Most of the people here had worked with Wen Yu before, and no one was unaware of the logic that one cannot defeat overwhelming power.
Even for those who hadn't worked with him, the video of [Akailer] was enough to extinguish any thoughts others might have had about competing for the top spot.
Wen Yu felt that his runner-up position might not be safe...
"Ding! ~"
"The fourth round is now starting: Top 10 Round-Robin, 10 into 3!"
"This round will use a random method to draw the combatants!"
"There will be 5 matches in this round!"
As the system prompt ended, the matchup list for the first round appeared before Wen Yu and the others!
[Still Not Calling Mom] — [Sharp Blade - Qi Yue]
[Time] — [Gathering Righteousness - Righteous Brother]
[Dynasty - Emperor] — [Dynasty - Morning Star]
[Sharp Blade - Wang Bin] — [Hidden Kill - Asura is Here]
[Dragon Lord] — [Fantasy - Doomsday]
The matches would proceed from top to bottom. While one match was taking place, the other four groups of contestants would watch from below the arena.
"This is interesting. We get a Dynasty civil war in the first round. I wonder if Morning Star is going to fight it out with Emperor."
But what Wen Yu was looking forward to the most was actually the first group—the duel between the two girls!
"Good stuff! I love to see it!"
At this moment, the two had already been teleported to the center of the arena.
After nodding to each other, the match officially began.
Qi Yue immediately entered stealth mode!
As the situation on the battlefield changed, Wen Yu began to see some of Qi Yue's methods.
She was truly a "Warrior" in the real sense.
Relying on her own operation, she was trading blows evenly with Ye Qian.
Qi Yue's Curse Assassin class seemed to imbue all of her attacks with "toxicity."
The bleeding status above Ye Qian's head never stopped.
Fortunately, Ye Qian's resistance was also very strong; Qi Yue's poison wasn't enough to kill Ye Qian.
Wen Yu was watching with great interest.
"Big boss, what do you think? Who do you think will win?"
Hearing the voice, Wen Yu turned his head to look.
Chen Cheng, his opponent for the next match, was walking up to Wen Yu with his hands behind his head.
"..." This guy was weirdly relaxed; there wasn't a hint of nervousness.
"It should still be Ye Qian who wins, assuming Qi Yue doesn't have any other powerful trump cards."
Both people on the field were melee classes, and they were indeed trading blows back and forth.
However, the ultimate winner was still Ye Qian.
In the face of stats, operation could only be called a nice bonus. It still couldn't determine the final outcome.
"I wonder if Qi Yue was still holding back; she didn't even force out Ye Qian's Super Armor..."
There wasn't much to say about the match between Wen Yu and Chen Cheng.
Before going on stage, Chen Cheng had told Wen Yu that he wanted to drag the fight out.
He wanted to use more skills; the number of viewers was massive, and if he performed well, he might be able to attract quite a few people to join the guild in the future.
Wen Yu naturally had no objections; he didn't need that kind of popularity himself.
He casually threw two Magic Missiles, both of which Chen Cheng dodged; the power of the Magic Swordsman was displayed vividly in Chen Cheng's hands.
All sorts of dazzling colors and extremely flashy skills hit his Magic Shield, dealing decent damage.
Feeling that enough Time had passed, Wen Yu took him out with a single Chain Lightning.
...
The Dynasty "civil war" between Emperor and Morning Star had the same effect. It was as if neither of these two matches were about deciding the winner, but purely about showing off skills to prepare for recruiting people into the guild...
However, watching them show off, Wen Yu caught on to a few things.
Morning Star's class resistance was very high, even higher than Ye Qian's War God.
He relied on being both tanky and capable of dealing damage to get into the top 10.
Wen Yu felt that if he truly got serious, he should be quite powerful as well.
...
What really shocked Wen Yu was that in the fourth match, Asura actually hammered Wang Bin!
Asura's class really gave Wen Yu a surprise: Flying Rogue.
This was actually a ranged Assassin class.
After completing the gear quest post-class advancement, the class's special gear was a set of throwing stars!
The stars had patterns a bit like snowflakes, and their ice-blue appearance hid immense lethality.
Six-Shot Star, Boomerang Star, Giant Strength Star.
And whether it was a class trait or some Talent bonus, Asura actually landed all critical hits!
Wang Bin eventually fell to Asura's ultimate move.
It was a throwing star larger than a regular car, surrounded by the power of wind and fire.
At an extremely high speed! It slammed fiercely into Wang Bin!
"Sharp Blade is in big trouble, Brother Rong. There probably won't be any Sharp Blade members in the top three."
Wen Yu also officially paid attention to Asura for the first Time.
"This guy is a wild horse..."
