Hu Die Lan

Chapter 144 The First Round Ends

Chapter 132 Perfect

One, two, three, four, five, six… Gu Fei counted the people chasing him. There were six players in total. But there were still eleven left to deal with Xi Yao Wu. This made Gu Fei very dissatisfied. Did these guys think he was far inferior to that little girl?

This really couldn't be blamed on others. Ask yourself, who would care about a mage without mana?

The six pursuers were fearless and charged forward with great momentum. When they were still five meters away from Gu Fei, one of them suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

The remaining five were shocked. When did they launch an attack without noticing it at all? Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Fei. The kid hadn't even moved!

The five couldn't help but stop and look down. They saw the guy who had fallen was now lying on his back, quite startled, shouting, "Am I dead? Am I already dead?"

The five of them were speechless. They could see a banana peel stuck to the sole of the guy's foot.

"How could you be so careless!" Gu Fei sighed.

The five ignored the guy on the ground and shouted as they charged forward. They had already witnessed Gu Fei's strength as a mage. Now that he had no mana, this was a golden opportunity.

"Speed!" The five urged each other. A warrior rushed to within two meters of Gu Fei in the blink of an eye, roared, and charged headfirst.

Gu Fei dodged to the side and swung the Baptism of Fire in his hand, accurately hitting the opponent's neck.

The warrior didn't hit anything with his charge. He just felt a chill on the back of his neck. As he turned his head, he saw Gu Fei's blade slice across his neck, scaring him out of his wits. The charge skill hadn't even ended yet. The warrior continued to run the remaining two meters, thinking: It's over. When I stop, my head will fall off.

But when he stood firm, his head was still there. The warrior looked at his health and saw that it hadn't decreased much. He immediately realized: How much damage could a mere mage do?

Thinking this, he immediately perked up and charged back with his giant sword. The other four had also arrived and attacked Gu Fei with their weapons. Behind them, the one who had been tripped by the banana peel was getting up from the ground.

But Gu Fei really didn't care about just these few people. He spun his blade and engaged them, chopping, stabbing, thrusting, entangling, slicing... every move was accurate.

The more they fought, the more shocked they became. Gu Fei's movements were like ghosts in their eyes. Whether it was a normal attack or a skill attack, they couldn't hit him. But the attacks he made in return, no one could dodge or block. Although the damage was very low, they would be worn down to death sooner or later. Moreover, the blade had a magic attack. Sometimes it suddenly burst into flames, and it hurt quite a bit to be burned.

The regretted not calling a priest to come along. They thought they could easily take down a mage without mana, but now...

"Ah!" A scream. Someone had fallen in the flames.

The remaining five were even more panicked. They were all injured. Without a priest to heal them, they might be burned to death by that guy's fire magic at any time.

"Priest, get a priest here!" The five suddenly turned around and ran. They couldn't even bother to stop Gu Fei from recovering his mana. It was most important to preserve the sparks of the revolution.

But this turn immediately stunned them again. The situation of the group that hadn't chased after them was even worse.

Xi Yao Wu's Swift Steps style of fighting was even more ghostly than Gu Fei looked. Her figure moved through the crowd like a harvester, reaping lives. They could at least use some skills on Gu Fei. The people over there couldn't keep up with Xi Yao Wu's speed at all, and their skills often injured their own people. Eleven people. In this short period of time, Xi Yao Wu had already taken out five.

The five had completely lost their direction. Xi Yao Wu in front, Gu Fei behind. They finally realized: These two guys are peerless experts, one in a million. In front of these two, they had no chance of winning at all.

At this time, two against eleven, Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu had actually won an overwhelming advantage. The eleven had no fighting spirit at all and only resisted symbolically. The two also stepped up their pace of reaping lives, and quickly eliminated ten people. The last warrior, with his greatsword in front of him, trembled and kept retreating.

Being killed was not terrible. There was no penalty for dying in a competition. What was terrible was the overwhelming strength of the opponent. Two people had wiped out a team of 45. Fear was brought about by this difference in strength.

"Who exactly are you?" the warrior asked dazedly.

Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu looked at each other: "Where should we start?"

"Don't bother, I'll do it myself!" The warrior slashed his greatsword across his neck, actually trying to commit suicide. This was his last bit of backbone.

"Don't!" Xi Yao Wu shouted.

Gu Fei and the warrior were stunned.

Then they saw Xi Yao Wu flash behind the warrior and kill him with a backstab.

"You're points!" Xi Yao Wu murmured, watching the warrior disappear in a flash of white light.

The battle was over. The system quickly calculated the results of the battle. Since none of the Rebirth Violet Crystal members died, and all of the Peerless Under Heaven guild members were wiped out, they got a "perfect" rating. In terms of member contribution, Gu Fei killed 32 enemies and got 32 points. Xi Yao Wu killed 13 and got 13 points. The other girls all got 0 points. Gu Fei was selected as the MVP of the match because of his highest score and was given an additional 10 points.

"What are points for?" Gu Fei asked Xi Yao Wu. He didn't notice such system prompts during the mercenary battle, probably because there were too few people, making the calculation fast and simple.

Xi Yao Wu said, "I don't know yet, but since there's this statistic, I believe it should be linked to rewards!"

As the two spoke, a white light flashed, the system finished clearing, and the winning side was teleported back to the square outside the guild building.

The other 48 girls were now beside the two, with confusion written on their faces.

"You two took care of all 45 people?" Everyone stared at Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu in the crowd. Although they didn't see the battle, they saw the final statistics announced by the system. All 45 of the opponents died at the hands of Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu.

"Depressing!" Xi Yao Wu shouted, "All the points were snatched by him." Xi Yao Wu glared at Gu Fei with a face full of resentment.

Gu Fei shrugged. About 20 points of his score came from that Thousand Layered Flame Tree. If he hadn't been forced to, he wouldn't have wanted to use a group damage skill! He didn't think it was much fun to get those 20 points at once. What he saw was that 20 opponents who he could have fought one by one had disappeared like that. Thinking of this, Gu Fei felt sad.

In a burst of laughter, someone suggested going to celebrate.

The only place that could be considered a place of entertainment in the game was the tavern, but no tavern's business was so deserted that it could accommodate 50 guests at once. The Rebirth Violet Crystal group searched for several in a row, but none had enough space for 50 people. But they attracted a lot of attention along the way.

So many girls parading together was of course a very eye-catching thing. And the only man in such a group of girls was definitely an even more eye-catching existence.

After realizing this, Gu Fei walked with his head lower and lower, bending his waist more and more, trying to hide himself in the crowd. When passing by a certain safe zone, he suddenly shouted "UFO!"

This kind of trick couldn't fool anyone originally. But Gu Fei, who had been silent all along, suddenly shouted, startling the girls. Gu Fei didn't say hello to anyone, quickly ran into the safe zone, and logged off.

The first day of the competition passed just like that. Overall, there were no surprises. Guilds and mercenary groups such as Zenith Four Seas and Black Hand Mercenary Group, which were more popular and considered to be championship favorites, easily passed the first round.

As for those mid-tier guilds and mercenary groups, no one paid attention to them in the first place. Even if something happened to them, outsiders wouldn't know. And the story that happened between the Rebirth Violet Crystal and the Peerless Under Heaven, such bottom-tier guilds, would easily be submerged.

The Peerless Under Heaven guild was insignificant. No one paid attention to what they said even if they used the guild's name. Moreover, 45 of their own people were wiped out by 2 opponents. Only a fool would treat this as an honor and brag about it. As for the Rebirth Violet Crystal, this feat was done by Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu. Neither of them bragged, so how could others be so ignorant as to promote it?

The next day, the officials announced the second round matchups early in the morning, so that the guilds and mercenary groups could formulate corresponding tactics and strategies based on their opponents.

To the great regret of the majority of players, the probability event of directly drawing the number one guild Zenith Four Seas to the number two guild Toast to the Moon didn't happen. Everyone was hoping that this scene would happen sooner rather than later. No matter who won or lost, they could get rid of a strong enemy anyway.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as people wished. These big guilds ended up drawing small guilds that they considered to be weak. Many players began to condemn the officials for manipulating the system in the dark, deliberately avoiding strong matchups from happening too early.

However, this kind of statement was inevitably too extreme. Proportionally speaking, there were only a few top guilds, while there were a large number of small and medium-sized guilds. Hitting a big guild was a low-probability event. Those small guilds that were drawn to fight against the big guilds had reason to suspect that the officials were trying to plot against them, drawing a strong enemy to eliminate them early to prevent their existence from causing trouble for the game company, if their skin was thick enough.

Real experts wouldn't add these unwarranted troubles to themselves. They would just face the difficulties head-on.

"Mu Yun Mercenary Group, Level 4, 73 members, the number 6 mercenary group in Cloudend City, the leader is Yun Zhong Mu Di, the number 7 expert on the Warrior Experience Leaderboard. We've hit the jackpot." You Ge announced the second round opponent of the Young Master Elite Group to the other five.

I'm not in good spirits today. This chapter took a long, long time to write, and I didn't make it to 12 o'clock... everyone, take a look.
