The incident Dark Moon Squad was just an isolated event. Other than Deathly Dark Moon not being able to check his emotions, the rest of the players were simply unaffected by it.

After the first day of competition ended, the thirty teams took to the stage.

Seeing their old comrades and opponents filled with vigor and energy, the players went back to the hotels in high spirits, preparing themselves well for the next day of competition

Although the competition had a new format, there was still a heavy emphasis on personal strength. Since everyone was a professional expert after all, there was a need to do a detailed analysis on each potential opponent.

On the way back, as they saw the other teams adopting a proactive attitude to the battles ahead, the players from Quan Zhen Sect also felt some anxiety creeping in.

Frost Blade was the most affected by the change in atmosphere. He stealthily sneaked back in a circle and asked, “Fearless, take a look at all the professional experts around us. Are you sure we are still going out to play tonight?”

“Why not?” Fearless questioned.

“Research on our opponents…” Frost Blade replied weakly.

“F*ck!” Fearless spatted, “The greatest level of skill in battle strategy is the ability to adapt to any situation. Once we set a fixed battle plan for ourselves, all strategies will become static!”

“What is your point?” Frost Blade furrowed his face tensely.

“There is a bar nearby and I heard that there are quite a few pretty ladies over there. Who is going?”

“Count me in.”

“Count me in.”

…

The whole bunch of them were distracted and were more interested in picking up chicks instead.

“What a bunch of trash…” Wang Yu shook his head in disgust watching these hooligans.

At this moment, Kyushu Squad entered the hall as their leader Boundless Ocean carried a little stick in his hand. He was giving some battle instructions to some of his squad players.

“Heavenly Fire Squad has no special qualities this time around but their expert Samadhi Fire has extraordinary fire skills. It is best we pay careful attention to him.”

“Half of the players from Red Dream Squad are ladies. We should not be too heavy-handed when facing them. If we meet Red Green Harmony, just beat him to death!”

“Why?” The rest of them replied curiously.

Boundless Ocean continued, “What is one man doing in a whole squad filled with ladies?”

“That’s true!” They nodded their hands. Even if they did not beat him up, someone else would do the job.

With regards to Sky Dragon Squad.” Boundless Ocean said in a measured tone, “I did not expect Tranquility Yields Transcendence and Thunderlord Block to be lured over by them. If we face them, we have to be on high alert, even more so when facing God of War. If it’s just him alone, we don’t have much to worry about.”

This was indeed the top guild nationwide. He did not even pay more attention to the God of War.

Sacred Mountain who was silent all along suddenly spoke, “Boss, according to what you said, there is no need to worry about anything. Why not just claim that we can get first place instead? What is the point of the meeting?”

“First place? Hehe!” Boundless Ocean continued with a light chuckle, “Facing these old-time opponents is simple. The opponent that we have to be most wary about is that team.”

Boundless Ocean gestured towards the Squad that was at the corner of the room.

As their eyes turned in the direction that he pointed, to everyone’s chagrin, it was towards Team A Murder of Crows.

“Pfft!!”

The players burst into laughter, “Boss, are you serious about this? What is so scary about those guys? They are just the champions of the amateur tournament.”

“Exactly!” Sacred Mountain also continued, “They are a squad with deceit and treachery. You can’t possibly think we will fall for those cheap tricks.”

“Why is that not possible!” Boundless Ocean pointed specifically at the image of Fearless and said, “I am sure that everyone here has heard of Fearless.”

“Yes, we know, he is the guild leader of Quan Zhen Sect. The previous guild leader was…”

As soon as he finished, Sacred Mountain thought about the times he spent in Termination Manor.

“That’s right!” Boundless Ocean continued, “This Fearless has an extremely pernicious influence. Although he has a bad reputation, he is a genius at strategy. No matter whether it is a small-scale team battle or a large-scale city siege, he has not lost a single battle. I have heard rumours that it was under his command that Twilight City could repel the city siege.

“Aren’t you exaggerating a bit…” The players had disbelief over their faces. How could such a player be an amateur?

Boundless Ocean continued, “For any doubters, you can go and take a look at their past battles, you can see how they use strategy to overwhelm any type of opponent. You can even ask Sacred Mountain for his experiences back in the day with Termination Manor.”

“Hmm….” Sacred Mountain was speechless and his face was stuck in a strange expression.

“There is still one more player!” Boundless Ocean moved his staff to Ming Du, “Quan Zhen Sect’s top mage Ming Du. He is a character that is full of arrogance. Half of Quan Zhen Sect’s notorious reputation probably stems from him.”

“Is he the Dragon Knight Li Zhi Chang?”

“Not the same guy. The other guy is White Emperor Blade. He is a sworn enemy of Ming Du.”

“So this is the case!”

Boundless Ocean continued pointing to the next player, “This is Spring Halo! Although his in-game name is dumb, you guys have seen first hand how lethal his skills are.”

“Yes, yes! Isn’t he the scariest player from the Quan Zhen Sect?” the crowd inquired.

Spring Halo did not only have the most broken skill but he also had a very wretched appearance. He had definitely left a deep impression on the other players with the way he toyed with an expert like Purity.

“Scariest? How laughable!” Boundless Ocean scoffed coldly. He plucked Wang Yu’s photo down from the way and turned one round to show everyone his picture. In a solemn tone, he cautioned, “Everyone better get this straight, this man is the most frightening existence in the Quan Zhen Sect.”

“Haha, isn’t that the acrobatic Pugilist? Is he better than Spring Halo?” The players were unconvinced.

In the game, real-life martial arts expertise did not equate to real-life skills.

“You guys will know what I mean when you guys meet him in battle.”

With a heavy heart, Boundless Ocean pasted Wang Yu’s back on the wall, “These four of them are the main players from Quan Zhen Sect. You guys have to be extra cautious against them. As the strongest squad, we cannot falter in front of these amateur players or our reputation will go down the drain. Do you all understand?”

“F*ck…”

The players all nodded silently in unison.
