The fellas from Quan Zhen Sect loved competing with each other as they had always regarded Wang Yu as their target. Seeing that the three of them couldn’t take down an opponent which Wang Yu killed in an instant, Crotch Lord and Boson almost burst out in tears.
Why must he do this? Why can’t he hold back a little…
Hades was the last surviving player of Kingdom of Hell. When he was killed by Wang Yu with that kick, the system announced: Team A Murder Of Crows wins.
Kingdom of Hell was once again unable to advance past the top eight.
However, the players from Kingdom of Hell were pretty optimistic. This loss did not make God of Death’s Left Hand regret his decision of kicking Sword of Thunderbolt out of the squad.
After all, God of Death’s Left Hand experienced the true strength of his opponents so he conceded defeat sincerely.
In the face of absolute greatness, tactics could merely delay the inevitable. With Wang Yu and Evil Rampage around, the opponents were bound to lose. Even if Sword of Thunderbolt was on the arena to instruct or deploy his tactics, the outcome would remain the same. At the very most, they might be able to kill two more players from Quan Zhen Sect.
Since the outcome of defeat was inevitable, they might as well lose in a way in which they felt good. This way, they wouldn’t compromise the original style of Kingdom of Hell.
This was also the main reason why the Quan Zhen Sect idolised Kingdom of Hell.
If a man didn’t have his own style, he would merely be an ordinary person.
…
Back to the main point.
After advancing into top four successfully, Team A Murder Of Crows had changed their outlook in the eyes of every other competitor. In fact, they even managed to attract some fans.
The moment Wang Yu and co. left the gaming cabin, they were surrounded by a large crowd of people holding microphones and cameras. They surged forward to ask them about everything.
E-gaming in this present day and age was already comparable to the Olympics. Gaming stars were equally as popular as national athletes as well as entertainers in the entertainment industry.
To be able to advance into the semi-finals was proof of absolute strength and abilities. Naturally, reporters would swarm towards Team A Murder Of Crows, who made it into the top four despite having the odds against them from the very beginning of the competition.
Wang Yu was not one who enjoyed being stared at by so many people. However, it was clear that the rest of the Quan Zhen Sect enjoyed being admired.
The bunch of them were basically stroking their hair coquettishly in front of the cameras.
In fact, Vainglory even almost got into a fight with Ming Du over the camera… They were, indeed, a bunch of amateurs who never had such attention in their lives before.
The wretched Spring Halo even commented, “Sometimes, I think about becoming a reporter too. I’ve heard that some people are willing to do anything just so that they can become famous.”
Fearless responded faintly, “I’m afraid you won’t make it!”
“Why not?” Spring Halo asked.
Fearless smiled, “To be a reporter, you have to be able to run fast. Look at your old and thick legs…”
Spring Halo, “…”
This bunch of reporters were also unique in their own ways. They didn’t even ask anything about the games as they started the whole interview with questions about their personal lives.
For example, they asked Yang Nuo how old she was and if Ling Longmeng was married. These questions about their private lives were still considered mild but they went overboard when they asked what kind of relationship Wang Yu had with Mu Zixian and when they were going to bear children.
Although Wang Yu had a good temper, one could tell that he was getting irritated by these personal questions. Fortunately, Wang Yu was quick-witted as he pulled Vainglory over, “Do you want all the reporters to follow you? Give you more attention?”
Vainglory looked at Wang Yu with starry eyes, “I do! I do! Uncle Bull, you’re the best!”
“You sure?” Wang Yu pointed at Vainglory as he shouted, “Everyone, make way! He just shat in his pants.”
“Whoosh!”
Once all the reporters heard Wang Yu’s words, all of them turned to look at Vainglory.
“F*ck… I didn’t…”
Vainglory was drowned by the crowd of reporters as Wang Yu and co. slipped away.
…
Once the break time was over, the competition resumed. Vainglory was left crying in the corner by himself as the teams were chosen for the second round of the quarterfinals.
Kyushu Squad VS Great Desolate Squad.
“OH!”
Everyone gasped in astonishment when they saw the two teams that were about to fight it out.
Fearless couldn’t help but exclaim, “Fate is really a piece of fine art.”
Kyushu Squad was born from the previous number one guild in the world, Termination Manor. Five years ago when Termination Manor collapsed, their leader, Boundless Ocean, took the backbone of their guild to make a comeback. They managed to clinch the professional tournament championship for four years in a row, two times world champion and had attained plenty of glory and honour for China in the gaming circle. They were extraordinarily strong and was undoubtedly the king in the ring of professionals.
Great Desolate Squad was slightly complicated as they had a deeper relationship with Kyushu Squad. This was because this bunch of fellas were also top experts from Termination Manor back in the days. While they proved their loyalties by following Boundless Ocean, they were abandoned to the reserve squad…
Therefore, the leader of Great Desolate Squad, Black Sky Yellow Earth brought a bunch of players soured by the loss of hopes out to form a sect of their own.
Over the years, the Great Desolate Squad had always occupied the number two position and was famously known to be second forever.
However, the ultimate goal of these players was to surpass the Kyushu Squad. Naturally, they were extremely strong too, which was why they were one of the few opponents that all the squads would be afraid to meet.
If the reserved players of the Kyushu Squad could make it so big in the tournament, one could imagine just how strong the Kyushu Squad was. Similarly, one could imagine just how extraordinary Termination Manor was in their prime.
Looking at how weak Hidden Lurker was and the crazy number of hero characters in Termination Manor, they were bound to collapse even without the Quan Zhen Sect’s disturbance.
Who would have thought that these two terrifying teams would meet so early in the quarterfinals? However, this was indeed a piece of fantastic news for all the other squads.
Great Desolate Squad clenched their fists as they looked at Kyushu Squad emotionally.
…
It didn’t take long for the cameras to display the two teams out on the arena.
The match between these two teams had officially begun.
World’s number one vs world’s number two. This was basically equivalent to a proper finale, a fierce battle between giants.
In the first solo match, Great Desolate Squad had the choice to choose the map.
Black Sky Yellow Earth glanced faintly at Kyushu Squad before clicking on ‘give up’…
Everyone grew excited by this move.
This was the epitome of arrogance!
The map was a key factor that could influence the outcome of a match and Black Sky Yellow Earth actually gave up the choice of map in the first match. The self-confidence he exuded by doing so was clearly to loathe at Kyushu Squad.
However, everyone understood why Black Sky Yellow Earth felt this way. The grievances of being pulled in just to be a reserve were simply overwhelming.
Of course, Fearless revealed a disdainful expression when he saw what Black Sky Yellow Earth did. “Black Sky Yellow Earth is truly childish! To think that he will do something as amusing as this.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” everyone asked.
This was clearly an act of hatred and despise.
Fearless answered, “This fella is merely playing psychological games with his opponents. This is only the solo match so giving up on the choice of map is not really going to make a difference. If he is truly that capable, I will want to see him give up the choice for the team battle.”
Indeed, the fighting scenes of solo matches were usually fixed to be the arena. Black Sky Yellow Earth’s little tricks of arrogance were merely to perturb the opponent and also leave a deep impression on the spectators.
