Chapter 1421 - Dragon's Graveyard
As Zhao Yueru descended from the stage, the waiting participants instinctively stepped aside, opening a path for her.
They had heard that she had killed a Dark Player twice after some Dark Guild had provoked her, dealing a heavy blow to the Guild.
While experts like themselves had assumed that had been a joke, they'd have to rein in their courage to stop trembling if Zhao Yueru even glanced their way. They had to be careful around her. Should they accidentally annoy the woman, they might die the moment they left the city.
…
"The Flame Witch is too awesome! She might even secure one of the top ten spots!"
"Top ten? More like top five! The combination of that Lord ranked monster and the large-scale destruction Spell is invincible in a duel! Only a handful of participants may be able to close in on the Flame Witch before she activates the combination attack. Aside from those few, she can likely blast everyone to smithereens."
"The Frost Empress was pretty unlucky this time. If she hadn't come across the Flame Witch, she might've ranked among the top 15, yet now she won't even stand among the top 50…"
"With the Flame Witch on Zero Wing's side, Zero Wing should get a spot among the top five Guild rankings."
Unlike the participants below the stage, the audience in the stands fell into a heated discussion about Zhao Yueru. They were all curious to see what the woman's rank would be in this competition. As for Yi Luofei, who had been defeated, they couldn't help but lament for her misfortune.
…
"Damn it! Why did things end up like this?!" Crimson Fox cursed as he watched Zhao Yueru step down from the main stage. "To think they've hidden a trump card like Zhao Yueru all this time! Zero Wing is quite cunning!"
"Guild Leader, what should we do now?" Lonely Castle, the Shield Warrior beside Crimson Fox, asked anxiously.
The higher one ranked in the competition, the more points they would receive. Moreover, the point scale was steep.
Players that ranked between 1,000th and 501st would receive 5 points. Players' points would double if they ranked between 500th and 249th, increasing to 10 points.
Meanwhile, players that made it to the third round would be awarded 20 points, 50 points if they reached the fourth round and 100 points for the fifth round.
Although both experts Nine Dragons Emperor had sent to assist Crimson Castle had made it to the fifth round, Nine Dragons Emperor had stated that the two players would be lucky to make it into the top 16, the seventh round. Reaching the seventh round only awarded 300 points, yet if Zhao Yueru ranked among the top four players, she would receive 600 points. Her points alone were more than the total those two experts could earn. If Zhao Yueru were lucky and made it into the finals, she would be awarded 1,000 points. She could earn more points than Crimson Castle's five representatives together…
"For now, hand the Epic items Nine Dragons Emperor loaned us to those two experts. Our priority is to ensure that both reach the seventh round. As for Zero Wing, it is still unknown whether or not Zhao Yueru makes it to the semi-finals. If she encounters one of those few melee experts, she could lose. If she faces Yan Tianxing, her success will immediately come to a halt," Crimson Fox said as he glanced at Yan Tianxing, FFF's commander.
