Chapter 534 - Venomous Flies
The entrance to the Arena in every major city of the Heavenly Domain suddenly became bustling with noise. After the surrounding players found out about the news, all of them ran to the Arena to watch the compet.i.tion.
Every week, pro players provided matches for everyone to watch every week. But what about these guild experts? Even though they were closer to normal players, very few had really seen them play in PvP. Now that the news came out, some people went to cheer for their guild seniors. Some went to see what the noise was all about. Some took the opportunity to make bets. All sorts of people came to the Arena towards a single room. The room quickly filled up with people.
The eight guilds intentionally waited for the spectators to come. Seeing that there were enough people, they began the compet.i.tion. They had thrown dice beforehand to determine the order and knew the results. The first match would be between Misty Castle and Herb Garden. The experts of the two sides were already standing on stage.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiu borrowed Chen Guo’s computer to watch. He wasn’t interested in the fights. From time to time he would glance at her screen, while typing to Wei Chen: “What if it comes to Blue Brook Guild? Will you be under pressure?”
“Nonsense. Of course. Don’t you see I’m part of Blue Brook Guild? If I get kicked out of the guild, it’ll be a huge loss for me. You should know the benefits of being in a big guild.” Wei Chen replied.
“You really are shameless.” Ye Xiu disdained.
“This is called compet.i.tive integrity. If you see Excellent Era, would you go easy because of your memories with them?” Wei Chen said.
“That depends on who I meet.” Ye Xiu said.
“Tch.” Wei Chen didn’t believe him.
Afterwards, Ye Xiu continued to glance at the matches from time to time, but most of his attention was traveling around Poison Fang Swamp. He had to avoid the eight guilds, but he also didn’t want to stray too far from the boss.
Poison Fang Swamp was very quiet today. The eight guilds were afraid of outsiders interfering, so while waiting for the results of the compet.i.tion, they didn’t reveal the boss’s whereabouts. The Heavenly Domain was huge. Trying to find it through pure luck wasn’t very logical. As for the other guilds, even if they got the information, when they saw the att.i.tudes of the eight guilds, they knew that trying to join now was already too late. It wouldn’t be good to provoke them.
In the Arena, the eight guilds didn’t play according to all of the pro scene’s rules. If they did, it would take way too long and they didn’t have such time to waste. As a result, they only played team compet.i.tions to determine the winner with the same rules as the pro scene. Five versus five with one subst.i.tute each.
Because the compet.i.tion had been quickly devised and set in motion, the map was chosen randomly, so neither side would have any tactical advantage. After fighting back and forth several times, Misty Castle finally couldn’t hold on any longer and Herb Garden won the first match.
Even though MIsty Castle was somewhat disappointed, they weren’t suffering. If they had fought for the boss the normal way, their chances of taking the boss was very small, so it wasn’t hard accepting their defeat.
“Misty Castle lost.” Ye Xiu told Wei Chen.
“I don’t think we should act yet. Wait a moment. We can still do a bit more preparing. Wait for an unexpected result. That would be the perfect time to act.” Wei Chen was extremely dirty.
“Wait for my next message.” Ye Xiu didn’t say anything more.
Next was Blue Brook Guild versus Tyrannical Ambition. Tyrannical Ambition lost. Jiang You was the first to propose the plan. Even though the plan had already gone this far, everyone was still a bit hesitant. Seeing how quickly Tyrannical Ambition had been eliminated, they began believing Jiang You didn’t have any ulterior motives.
Jiang You laughed and expressed the acknowledgement of their defeat.
Excellent Dynasty versus Blossom Valley. Excellent Dynasty won.
Samsara versus Void Walk. Samsara won.
Four guilds were eliminated. None of them were too surprising. The four matches ended relatively quickly. Even so, an hour had already pa.s.sed. Wei Chen worked busily making preparations during that hour. The next round of matches between these four guilds began. Enough people had come as witnesses for their matches, so they decided to hurry with the matches and played both at once.
Samsara versus Herb Garden.
Excellent Dynasty versus Blue Brook Guild.
The first matched ended with Samsara beating Herb Garden, which was certainly a surprise. When the results came out, the spectators immediately dispersed and went to watch the other match. Chen Guo also went along. The other match quickly ended too. This time, Blue Brook Guild lost.
