"Good! Next, I will announce the top eight contestants. They are Dark Emperor, Chaotic Wings, Silent Smoke, Wind V Wind, God of War, Thunderstorm, Ice, and Yearning Lemon. Please take your time to rest and replenish your potions. The top four will be held in the afternoon!”The host said loudly on the central stage.
The few of us sat down listlessly. Broken Thorn really left, saying that he wanted to find the ideal in his heart and become stronger. Without this good companion, our mood was naturally not good. Our hatred was directed at one person-the Dark Emperor. I'll definitely make him regret what happened today. I'll definitely…
Square carefully analyzed the skill that the Dark Emperor had given him and felt that it should be the same as mine. Although he was a special class, that skill should be a skill that came with an equipment, just like how my Divine Ring could absorb and release a skill after accumulating it to a certain extent. It definitely couldn't be used repeatedly. Who knew when it would be used again? It could very well be the Sealed Gauntlet that had suddenly risen up on the Equipment Rankings. Right now, my Tathagata Set was ranked first, while the Forest Feather, which was ranked second, had suddenly been overtaken by a Celestial Artifact Sealed Gauntlet. It seemed that the gauntlet had undergone some changes recently. Relying on equipment, this made us feel a little more at ease. Who would have known that I still had a Celestial Artifact in my hands?
Without Broken Thorn, our interest in the team competition was also great, and we stopped outside of the top eight. A friend left just like that. I don't know if I'll be able to see him again in the future, so only War God and I are left to compete. I looked at the tall stage in the middle and walked up with determination.
"Good! It was now Silent Smoke VS Wind V Wind, and the match began!”The moment the host announced the start, I activated my energy shield and placed a sea of fire in front of me. I entered a battle state that was neither sad nor happy.
Wind V, Wind and Ice were both at the same level. They were both ranked first at Level 49. He's 6 levels higher than me, but my stats aren't any less than a level 49 player's, or perhaps even more. Hearing the Ice Snow Alliance's shouts and seeing Wind V's red battle aura charging into the sea of fire, I decided to choose a defensive strategy.
My Dexterity was 20, and with the bonus from my equipment, it was now 25. My speed was much higher than an average Mage. Unless it was a Dexterity Mage, they would not be able to keep up with my speed. Wind V Wind, a Level 49 Warrior, did not seem to have high Dexterity. I kept releasing Sea of Fire and Fireballs, indirectly creating Earth Wall and Water Freeze…
Wind V was already green with anger. Although he had powerful combat power, he couldn't use it. However, that 3,000 HP was still a headache for me. With a loud roar, he chose Berserk, the most powerful skill of this Warrior. He also released a Tier 4 Ice Bear and a Tier 5 Swift Wolf.
After going berserk, his speed had obviously increased. With the pets on both sides, he actually surrounded me. The crowd below the stage was shouting his name crazily. It seemed that the number one expert might really be him.
However, I still haven't taken out the killer seal. Do you have a pet? Even though Square had already told Warsong and I to choose our Pet Eggs before the match, we were both proud people. Other people would look at us with envy, but why would we want Tier 4 or 5 pets, especially with me, a monster fighting expert, as our backer?
"Red Dragon Soul!" I shouted, and in the sea of fire in front of me, a big guy with a height of more than 6 meters appeared. Its entire body was emitting a red light. It was a shrunken red Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"Wow! What is that? A pet?" The people below were discussing animatedly. Ever since I made that huge pit on the tournament stage, I already had quite a number of 'fans'. According to them, I could often do some impossible and inexplicable things, making me not know whether to laugh or cry.
"What is this?" Wind V Wind looked at the big guy in front of him and asked gloomily.
"This is the soul of a red dragon. It's not a pet, but it can also fight for its master. It's a summon in my Tathagata set, right?”I replied.
"It's the function of your Tathagata set again. I remember that the shockwave-like skill in the last game was also said to be from the Tathagata set, right? It seems that this Celestial Artifact set is simply invincible!”As he spoke, his eyes flashed with greed.
F * ck! No way, even Wind V is interested in me. It seems that it's true that disaster comes from the mouth. However, I can't say that it was because I have a divine artifact last time, right? If that happened, the people who wanted to kill me would probably line up all the way to the moon.
I ignored the wind and waved my Red Dragon to charge over. I followed behind and relied on the Red Dragon's remaining power to successfully break out of the encirclement. The Red Dragon was also of the fire attribute like me. That Tier 4 Ice Bear died in just a short while. The remaining Swift Wolves were more troublesome. They were so fast that the Red Dragon couldn't catch up to them.
Hehe! If I couldn't catch up to him, then so be it. The red dragon finally turned its gaze to Wind V and began to fight with the Berserk Warrior. I, on the other hand, faced off against the wolf pet. This was the best situation. After all, if a mage fought a Berserk Warrior in a limited space, there was absolutely no chance of victory.
I also engaged in close combat with this wolf. The main reason was that its speed was too fast. Even if I ran, it would be in vain. Fortunately, the energy shield of my Swift Sky Fire could withstand 7 or 8 of its attacks. As I dodged left and right, the fireball fiercely hit a place. However, its HP was also dropping a lot. Damn it, after using all my strength and red and blue, I finally crippled one of its legs. Although the speed of this Swift Wolf's three legs was about the same as mine, it could still recover. The rest were naturally beaten up by me while running.
I stole a glance at Wind V. Wind. The number one player at Level 49 was indeed powerful. His battle axe danced like the wind, and a small white round shield on his left arm blocked most of the attacks from the Red Dragon's claws. This must be the famous Celestial Equipment Crystal Shield. It could even attract lightning from time to time. It was indeed very powerful.
After expending quite a bit of red and blue, I finally ended the Swift Wolf's life with an unwilling howl. The only one left was Wind V Wind. I didn't expect my red dragon to be so powerful. Although it wasn't a pet, it was very powerful. It had been fighting with Wind V Wind for so long without losing any strength.
I cast a Sea of Fire and slowly burned Wind V Wind. Then, I hid far away and started to attack with fireballs. I was no longer a threat. This was awesome. Who said that being the first in level meant that I was invincible? In my eyes, it was just like fighting a monster BOSS!
Despicable, shameless! The voices below 'quietly' entered my ears. It's good that he can win. Do you want me, a mage, to fight with him? I can't be bothered with you guys. I'll continue with my strategy.
Wind seemed to have gone mad, but unfortunately, he couldn't break through the Red Dragon's defense. His Berserk state had passed, and he had used up all his potions. Finally, he lasted for another ten minutes before he collapsed. "Wow! Victory!" I ignored those who scoffed at me and wanted to acknowledge me as their big brother. I only looked at the place where the broken thorn fell and left resolutely. Dark Emperor, just you wait! I will definitely make you pay the price.
As soon as I went down, the Exquisite Fish pulled me away with an excited look on its face. When we reached a place with fewer people, I saw clearly that there was only ribbonfish in front of me. Ye Zi and Yi Jian Mei were standing together excitedly.
"What are you doing! You know that I don't like to show off my victory, so you dragged me here to celebrate!”I said happily.
"That's right! That's right! You're great, tsk!" Plum Blossom said.
"So it's not to congratulate me for entering the top four. Then why did you call me here?”I looked around. This was a relatively poor place in the Holy City. There were small houses all around. I really didn't know how they found this place.
"En! Big brother, it's like this. I, Sister Ribbonfish, have received a hidden mission! If we can succeed, our Ruyan Restaurant will get an amazing chef! You must help me, big brother!”Ye Zi's sweet voice immediately rang in my ear. This little fellow immediately leaned into my arms.
"Hmm? What do you mean by 'Little Stay'?" I was in a mess.
"En! It's like this. In view of your good ranking this time, and no matter what the result is, your reputation is too resounding, so we'll change the name of our restaurant to this. How about it? Your name! Still not satisfied?" the Exquisite Fish explained.
"Tsk! " That restaurant…" I stopped halfway. I didn't expect to get any money back when I invested in that place. I didn't have any hope with these people managing it. It's not as good as the money I earned from buying some precious herbs for my senior brother Li Tianyi.
"What, what, what? Wasn't that a restaurant? Although the situation was a little worse now!”As the Exquisite Fish spoke, its voice became softer and softer. Up until now, not to mention the quality of the food, not many people had come. At the thought of this, the four girls lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"However, if you help us complete this mission and invite that master, our restaurant will definitely become popular!”The Exquisite Fish said firmly.
It turned out that they had been watching the competition in the Holy City. However, the Exquisite Fish and Ribbonfish who had participated in the competition had been eliminated early on. They were not in the mood to watch the competition and just wandered around the Holy City. After all, with their current strength, it would be very difficult to come here without those guards on the road.
The four of them wandered around the Holy City. Soon, the obedient Leaf discovered a fragrance. The four of them found a small bungalow. An old man was cooking something beside a pot, emitting waves of meat fragrance, which made people drool. The four of them couldn't move at all. They even asked for the Linglong Fish.
Seeing the old man nod in agreement, the four of them didn't know what the word 'polite' meant anymore. As he ate, he chatted with the old man. That old man's surname was Tong, and he was actually the chief chef in charge of the emperor's food in the capital. He had been framed by a villain, and that was why he had fallen to this state. The four of them felt that this was the most delicious meal they had ever had since they were born. Seeing how miserable he was now, they wanted to invite the old man to be the chef of their restaurant. However, the old man had one condition, and that was to obtain the Hundred Taste Bead.
"Hmm? What was a hundred flavor bead? What's the use of it?" I finally understood what these four girls meant.
"Let's go in and talk! "The Exquisite Fish pulled me into a small house at the side. It turned out that I had already planned this out. This place is that Uncle Tong's house. Although the old man's clothes were tattered and he was so skinny that he didn't have much meat left, his eyes were still surprisingly spirited and he was also sizing me up.
"Not bad, you are very strong, especially in the fire element. I can feel that you are different from others. I was framed by someone and actually have no sense of smell now. I can only recover by finding the Eastern Sea's Hundred Taste Bead. Now, I can only rely on my senses to cook. If you can help me find it, then my old bones will belong to your Ruyan!”The old man finished speaking in one breath and then looked at me.
"This, I also want to help you get it back, but it seems that the attributes in the sea will be reduced, uncle, especially my fire attribute, which is even more opposite to water!”
"It's fine! I have two Water Repellent Pills here that can create a space of ten meters in the water! However, it can only be used once!"
"Alright then! I accept this mission!" I took two white pills and said firmly. The four little girls beside him also heaved a sigh of relief, as if they would win if they accepted it.
"No one in our sect is allowed to know!”The Exquisite Fish said viciously before I left.
"Why? I have two potions. When the time comes, I'll bring in the God of War or Warsong. The chances of winning will be higher!”
"Anyway, it won't work. If our mission is known by others, won't our restaurant be exposed? We already lost badly in this martial arts competition. If they know that there's a restaurant that only loses and doesn't earn, won't we laugh ourselves to death?”The Exquisite Fish warned again and again.
" I asked the four women why they didn't leave. How could they leave after eating? It's a pity that I only ate a piece of bone. But now that I think about it, my tongue is salivating. It's really amazing. If I could invite this old man, the restaurant wouldn't lose money. That's 50% of my shares, although I've never been there before."
The four women can't wait for me to leave, hehe! Although it was delicious, it wasn't money. I left the house and quickly reached the Royal Medicine Hall at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
"Is Master here? Master!" I shouted before I entered.
"Who's making a fuss!" Shopkeeper Li appeared at the door, waving a fan. "Ya! Isn't this Junior Brother Silent? Didn't you go to the competition today? Why did you have the time to come here? Could it be that there are some good medicinal herbs?"
"Hehe! Senior Brother, is Master here? Although there are no good medicinal herbs this time, there are good medicines!”I took out a Water Repellent Pill from my storage space.
"What kind of medicine is this, Junior Brother? I've been a doctor for so many years, but I haven't seen it before!”Manager Li, Li Tianyi, asked in confusion.
"Eh? Is this a Water Repellent Pill?" A soft cry came from behind. Master Huang took the pill from behind and gently placed it by his nose to smell it.
"That's right! Master, the person who gave it to me said that this is the Water Repellent Pill! You're really…I really admire you…"
"Good, good, good! Don't be so talkative, kid. It looks like you haven't been practicing your medical skills recently! "Tell me, what do you want?" The master interrupted me. Seeing the old man's face, I really didn't dare to speak casually.
"Well, I want Master to see if he can come up with a prescription for this medicine. It's also a way to contribute to the vast number of people who want to go into the sea!”
"That's right! Master! This is a great thing!" Li Tianyi had worked with me for so many times, so he immediately agreed.
"Good! Wait for me here!" After saying that, Medicine Master Huang walked towards his own pharmacy.
"Um, um, Master, you'd better not spoil this medicine! I still need your disciple!" I told him about it, but I didn't know if he heard me.
After a few minutes, Huang Yaoshi came out and handed me a piece of paper."This medicine can be considered a miraculous medicine. It requires a total of 21 medicinal herbs, but five of them are very rare. I've written down a few replacement herbs on the prescription, as well as the proportion and heat.”After saying that, he handed the Water Repellent Pill to me. It was actually intact, without a scratch.
Li Tianyi stroked his beard and looked at Fang Zi excitedly.""Junior Brother! Hehe! This time, we're going to be rich again!"
"Hehe! Senior Brother, let's have a good cooperation!" I also smiled proudly.
Back at the martial arts competition arena, it was War God and Thunderbolt Wind fighting. These two were the leaders of a gang, and the battle was extremely intense. It seemed that the victor could not be determined for a while. I sat comfortably on the chair. Thinking about it, I also had a medicine I found in the royal medicine shop. According to the rules, I would get 30% of the profit. Who wouldn't want to go to the bottom of the sea in the future? This Water Repellent Pill would definitely be in short supply. I'm rich! Drinking a drink that cost 1 gold coin, the more I thought about it, the more I felt happy.
"Hey! Why are you drooling in broad daylight! Could it be that there's a beautiful woman nearby?" A familiar laugh rang out beside me.
"Aren't you a beauty? I can even find it in such an inconspicuous place. I really have to hand it to you!”I gave Violet an idiotic smile.
"Tsk! Who's looking for you! Can't I just be a coincidence?!" Then, she whispered to herself," You look like a pig. Who's a beauty!”
"Oh! That was a coincidence! By the way, it's a pity that you didn't go to the martial arts competition since you're so powerful!”
"Tsk! They were fighting all day long. They hadn't had enough of fighting monsters, and they were still fighting each other on the stage. What was so fun about it? There's no fun strolling around!”Zi Luolan glanced at me and said.
The victor had already been decided on the stage. War God's Dragon Snake was truly unstoppable. War God had obtained victory and entered the top four. The other two who had entered were the number one expert Ice and the Dark Emperor.
As I watched the host announce his name, my eyes were calm. Anger won't solve the problem. Broken Thorn, I will avenge you. (Unfortunately, not only did I fail to take revenge, but I also lived in darkness for a long time.）
"Are you interested in going to the bottom of the sea with me? I've accepted a mission and I'll go after the martial arts tournament!”I told Zi Luolan.
"Ah? What, me? Good! Alright! Do you like me and want to court me?”Zi Luolan said excitedly.
"Puff!" I spat out all the drink in my mouth. This girl, how dare she say anything! Were all the women in the game so easy to talk to?
"Look at you, so careless!" Zi Luolan patted me on the back as she held my arm. No way! I'm going to have a nosebleed. Ye 'zi is a little girl, but Zi Luolan is different. Although she looks like a doll, she has a figure and a touch.(Her chest is tightly pressed against my arm.)
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd opposite them. Three women walked over side by side, surrounded by a group of people behind them. It was a huge commotion! These three women walked to my side and stopped. Could it be that there are beauties gathering today? I was still thinking excitedly, but when I saw who it was, I was immediately stunned.
The three of them were Yearning Lemon, Square, and Night Rain Xiaoxiao. At this moment, all three of them were looking at me with different expressions. Yearning Lemon was smiling. I had only met her a few times. Ge Zi nodded and looked at me. I couldn't tell that he was actually quite skilled despite his usual honesty. Night Rain Xiaoxiao looked at me indifferently. There was no expression on her face, but what about her heart?
Zi Luolan looked at Night Rain, but for some reason, he felt awkward and angry. He said to the three people," Three of the four talented women came at once. Hubby! You're so prestigious!"
Ge Zi looked at me in shock, then seemed to understand. When Night Rain Xiaoxiao heard this, her body trembled for a moment before returning to normal.
This scene became very comical. I let Zi Luolan's arm lean against my armpit, my whole body numb. The four women surrounded me, and then countless players surrounded them. This was also a spectacle. Countless rumors and gossip immediately spread throughout the sky the next day. What four women fighting for a husband? The story of three talented women that had to be told. How many women did a successful man have behind him? Such articles were flying all over the forum.
"Let's go! Let's go back and talk!" Square could tell that the atmosphere wasn't right, so he quickly pulled the two of them away. The surrounding players immediately chased after them, while others scattered. Looking at Violet, who was laughing so hard, I couldn't help but feel sad. How did I know such a girl?
