The moment the competition officially began, every
The auction arena was supposed to feature a fierce battle between the various factions, but now all of them were united against
As if it had all been planned in advance.
"How can this be happening?" Qin Yin muttered, staring at the magic water mirror where the experts from every faction moved in unison. Despair filled her eyes.
If the opposition were mainly those few superpowers, it would have been manageable. The auction arena had five battlefields, each independent, with players distributed randomly. The superpowers only had so many people — a thousand at most — and once spread across five battlefields, their numbers dwindled further. Finding and targeting
Moreover, winning or losing the auction arena was not about killing. It was about seizing energy crystal orbs that fell from the sky within a limited time. The faction that collected the most crystal orbs would win the Auction House.
As long as
But now… that hope was gone.
In terms of raw numbers per faction, none of the participating groups could match any single superpower. However, there were simply too many of them — the combined total of all participating factions dwarfed the total manpower of the superpowers by three or four times over. If they all moved together, finding
"I said it long ago," the half-elf man remarked calmly from the sidelines. "The great superpowers of the Divine Realm are nothing like what you imagined. And
The superpowers' influence over the various guilds was, in truth, even more formidable than their own combat strength.
Every faction understood that latching onto a superpower meant instant ascension. That was exactly why they had been consumed with envy and jealousy when they learned
Now that the major superpowers hated
While the half-elf was speaking, Tian Jing on the fourth battlefield led over a dozen experts from various factions in a charge toward a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a Six-Winged emblem.
The scene was broadcast on the arena's massive water mirror for all to see.
"Hold on — isn't that beauty Yue Wange, the former vice-captain of the Fire Cloud Fox Adventuring Team?" An expert from the
"Yue Wange? I heard she used to be quite strong — just shy of the top hundred Summoners in the
"Well, Yue Wange's luck is truly terrible. She got dropped right into the thick of it from the start and now faces this many experts attacking at once. She'll probably be the first one eliminated." A level-63 male Ranger sighed, gazing at Yue Wange's beautiful features.
"It's not just bad luck — it's the worst luck imaginable," a level-64 Guardian Knight beside him shot the Ranger a glance and said slowly. "Setting aside Tian Jing himself — one of Sin Domain's newly appointed Top Ten — the man and woman flanking him alone are no small matter. That cold, aloof woman is Kuang Yan of Sage's Reincarnation, one of their rising geniuses. Apparently she's already ranked second among Sage's Reincarnation's assassins. If not for an insufficient record, she'd have made the
"That honest-looking man in the silver-gray armor is just as formidable. He's one of the Blood Bath Family's four great Berserkers — Di Hou — and a hidden class: a Boiling Blood Warrior. The lower his health, the greater his combat power. Two experts from the
"Just those two together would be enough to make any top-tier expert think twice, let alone every other faction's experts piling on. Even a top-tier expert would have to back down."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
Such combat power — even a top-tier expert from a superpower would think twice before engaging, let alone someone like Yue Wange, who didn't even rank among the
