Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bandit Sun, the vice guild master of the Xilong Guild, stretched out his hand and grabbed onto Tianyu.
“Calm down!”
Bandit Sun reminded him.
One must know that they had come here with a purpose.
They wanted to accumulate points on the competition grounds and exchange these points for rewards in order to strengthen their guild.
If they caused trouble right at the beginning, they could be disqualified from the competition.
“What trash, I won’t fight with them.”
Tianyu stepped back and said disdainfully.
The players felt anger rising up in themselves with just that single sentence.
“This bastard, he’s trash when he talks and is still trash when he doesn’t.”
“I must kill him!”
“…”
However, there were also some players who kept their wits about them.
If they really had to fight to the death, they would wait until they entered the professional competition arena.
Soon, a darkness gradually spread over Night City.
It was already dusk.
The players looked up and saw a pale yellow light covering their surroundings..
“I didn’t expect the sun to set so soon!”
“But we’re still okay now!”
“What if another monster invades when midnight comes!”
“This is the most nerve-wracking moment!”
“I’d like to ask why Maise the God hasn’t arrived!”
“Hurry up and come out!”
“Quick, look at the center of the competition venue! There’s a platform above it.”
“Maise the God is there!”
As the players were talking, their gazes narrowed onto one person.
Some more attentive players noticed a high platform in the sky above the arena.
The platform seemed to be floating in the air, and it looked as though it was supported by the clouds.
However, that was not the main point. The main point was that there were a few rather aggressive-looking thrones on the platform.
“Maise the God!”
“Soft Snow!”
“Black Dragon Princess!”
“The Dragon-Descent Witch!
“The Thousand-year-old Green Snake!”
The players glanced at the people on the thrones and realized that they recognized them all.
Most of their gazes were fixed on one.
That was Maise the God!
He was the reason why this professional competition could be organized.
“Maise the God! We’re your fans!”
The players’ shouts rang out from below.
Moreover, such voices were heard from every corner.
The people of the Grand Sea and Xilong Guilds looked over and found that Maise the God had quite a number of fans.
Vice guild master Tianyu secretly clenched his fists.
He thought that he was of decent ability. But why didn’t he have this many admirers?
At this moment, Singer Qiqi, Pine Tree, Wildflower, and the other elite members of the Xilong Guild looked over with solemn expressions.
“If there’s a chance to challenge Maise the God, I’ll definitely be the first to sign up!”
Singer Qiqi said with a firm tone.
“I’ll go with you!”
Pine Tree and Wildflower continued.
While they were chatting, Jiang Bai slowly stood up from the throne above.
He looked down at the players below.
This time, the professional competition was held for the world of Sword and Magic to select members for the Hidden Dragon Guild..
Therefore, Jiang Bai needed to have the air of a superior.
With the title and blessing of Dragon Slayer, Jiang Bai only needed to glance down from the throne. Instantly, all the players felt an unprecedented sense of power. They felt as though he were pressing down on them like a huge mountain. This made them lower their heads and bend down.
“Maise the God!”
“He’s standing up!”
“His every move makes people’s scalps tingle!”
The players below were extremely surprised.
Then, they heard a deep voice.
“The professional competition!”
“These are the only rules!”
“First: Only players who have not joined any guild can participate!”
1
“Second: You can admit defeat!”
“Third: This competition is divided into team and individual sections!”
“Fourth: In addition to gaining points, the player in first place will receive further rewards. They will be able to join the Hidden Dragon Guild!”
“Fifth: Besides the player in first place, the top five players can join the Hidden Dragon Guild as trainee members!”
“Sixth: If players on both sides of the competition agree, players can choose to increase the difficulty of the competition!”
“Seventh: Winners stay and losers retreat. This is how we will determine the final winner.”
There were a total of seven rules.
The players fell into deep thought after they heard these rules.
A team competition?
They could admit defeat?
Obviously, the strong were respected in this competition. You had to be strong to make it to the end.
However, the players also had some doubts. For example, would their points be void if they lost?
Also, would the winner be able to obtain all the points of the loser?
The rules weren’t clear.
However, the players were not rushing. They thought that these scenarios would be tested when they went off to the competition.
Right now, what they cared about most was the time the first competition would start!
At the next second, an announcement by the world of Sword and Magic rang out.
[Ding! Maise the God has officially opened the registration channel. The previous registration was only preliminary. Only successful registration now allows you to join the professional competition!]
[Reminder: Only those gathered in Night City can register! There are no restrictions, and both players and non-playing characters can choose to register and participate!]
[Current number of participants: 0]
[Registration time is limited to ten minutes]
“Damn it!”
“Ten minutes!”
“Let’s register quickly!”
The players went into a flurry of activity at once.
Just a moment ago, the bridge closed, meaning that the first registration channel was gone.
Right at the next second, a new interface appeared, and the second registration started.
It was clear that registration had to be successful this time before one could enter the professional competition.
However, the players were also shocked that even non-playing characters could register.
This was simply too much.
There were some powerful characters among the non-playing ones, and they were on much higher levels than the players.
If these non-playing characters registered, the players knew that they not be a match for these characters.
However, the players were not too worried. In the professional competition, levels were not the ultimate decider. Such competitions were usually separated by levels. Otherwise, it would automatically balance the strength of the participants.
Very quickly, more than ten thousand people signed up.
[Current number of registrants: 10,0011 (including ten non-playing characters)]
In a short while, most players in Night City chose to register.
Vce guild masters Tianyu and Bandit Sun struggled for a long time before they finally made a decision.
“I’ll quit the Guild!”
“Let’s participate in the professional competition first!”
Although Tianyu and Bandit Sun felt sorry for the contribution points that they did not spend, they knew they could not let the huge amount of rewards from the professional competition pass them by.
However, when they signed up, they only saw a display.
[Congratulations to players Tianyu and Bandit Sun for signing up successfully!]
[A reminder that players who have just quit their guilds to join the competition will not receive any points or rewards. They will only be able to get into the top ten!]
Tianyu and Bandit Sun never thought that this would be the result of them joining the competition!
Two panels popped up in front of them.
Their eyes were fixed on the second panel.
“There’s no points reward!!!”
“They’re taking us for a ride!!!”
