Chapter 372: No Proper Recognition For One’s Talent
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“Fck fck f*ck!”
The moment Qing Ming saw his teammates die, he had a nervous breakdown. He couldn’t believe he helped this fella take down his men again.
He was still able to convince himself that it wasn’t his fault for the first time when he used [Charge]. However, how did his extremely accurate [Tornado Slash] backfire too?
At this point in time, Wang Yu’s reduced speed effect had finally disappeared. In a split second, he appeared right in front of Qing Ming with his long pole pointed at him, “Do you still want to fight?”
Wang Yu was definitely capable enough to finish Qing Ming off right now. However, he chose not to do so. This was because Wang Yu knew that they were professional experts. Professional experts like them definitely had exceedingly strong willpower. If they were to be defeated so mysteriously, they would certainly not back down until they found the reason why they were defeated. In that case, the Blueberry Squad’s challenge list would never be cleared. Wang Yu would have accomplished a worthless deed.
Therefore, defeating them wouldn’t be the solution to deal with them. The ultimate goal would be to hit them so hard that they fear you.
In a few exchanges, Qing Ming was evidently slightly fearful of Wang Yu.
He didn’t even have to figure out how Mid-Day and co. were defeated so quickly. Even Qing Ming and the three others held the initiative to attack and control Wang Yu. Even so, they were still beaten so thoroughly. This was exemplified by how Wang Yu made use of Qing Ming’s ‘help’ twice to kill the other three members. Qing Ming was still unable to wrap his head around how outrageous the recent events had been.
A person would usually fear the unknown the most. Against such a peculiar opponent, even Qing Ming wouldn’t be able to say he was not afraid.
“You win!” Qing Ming shook his head helplessly. He opened up the situation tab and exited the PVP map.
“What? Even the Husband and Wife Squad lost?”
Looking at how the Blueberry Squad took down Sanguine Vanguard and Husband and Wife Squad in succession, all the other teams in the challenge list couldn’t stay seated anymore.
There was only one thought in everyone’s head: Wasn’t that bunch incredibly weak earlier on? How did they suddenly become so strong?
“Could it be that they recruited an expert?” One of them was slightly more realistic but was fought back verbally.
“Rubbish! It’s okay if you don’t know whose sockpuppets the members of the Blueberry Squad are. However, don’t you know about the Sanguine Vanguard? How good can another top expert be? Given the standards of those scrubs, even ten extra experts wouldn’t do them any good!”
“Now this is strange…”
All the squads were equally as confused as each other.
At the same time, the battle report of the Husband and Wife Squad was sent to Imperial Dragon’s Secret.
“Tsk! These grinders really did win. No wonder Sanguine Warflag didn’t dare to stay for long.” Looking at the battle report sent by Qing Ming, Imperial Dragon Secret was surprised.
Imperial Dragon Carefree shook his head, “I did tell you that Sanguine Warflag, that old fella, wouldn’t lose so easily. Where is the recording? Give me a copy of it.”
“I’ve already sent it over!” Imperial Dragon Secret sent it over as he played his copy of the recording.
The recording was very simple. To save storage, Qing Ming only recording the fights. The additional and unnecessary details were not recorded. The total duration of all the fights combined was not even two minutes long.
After looking at this short recording, there was only one expression on the faces of both Imperial Dragon Carefree and Imperial Dragon Secret. Shock.
From the first scene where Wang Yu blocked Hoeing Millet’s ambush, cold sweats were dripping down Imperial Dragon Secret’s face.
As an Assassin himself, Imperial Dragon Secret knew how great the advantage of being an Assassin was. He also knew how important and significant [Stealth] was to an Assassin.
However, Wang Yu was actually able to block an ambush in [Stealth] mode. Wang Yu was even able to disarm Hoeing Millet in that same instant. How quick must this fella’s strikes and reaction be to achieve such results?
The second scene was where Wang Yu went up against Hoeing Millet and the other four.
The first was Mid-Day. Even though he was a Priest and didn’t have any advantage compared to the other combat jobs, Wang Yu’s performance left both Imperial Dragon Secret and Carefree speechless. They couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw how Wang Yu leaped and vaulted over walls.
The next one was Wang Yu against the encirclement of four people. Imperial Dragon Carefree didn’t think much about how Wang Yu deflected the arrows and avoided the magic skills because he was an exceptional expert himself. However, even he considered himself inferior to Wang Yu when he saw what Wang Yu did. He saw how Wang Yu played down two very strong close combat jobs personnels in almost an instant.
Without mentioning the fact that Wang Yu was a Pugilist, even a Warrior like Imperial Dragon Carefree couldn’t do what he did. Facing the [Charge] of a Guardian, even Imperial Dragon Carefree had no choice but dodge or retreat first.
After witnessing Wang Yu in action, Imperial Dragon Carefree was stupefied. “Just how strong are this fella’s attacks?”
The last scene was against Qing Ming and the three others.
They saw how Wang Yu clearly had his speed reduced. They also saw Wang Yu made use of a Guardian’s [Charge] to kill their Wizard. Next, it was Wang Yu making use of the Weapons Master’s [Tornado Slash] to kill the Magician and Archer. These odd scenes confused even the two experts.
“How did he do this?” Imperial Dragon Secret racked his own brain but was still unable to figure out a reasonable explanation.
Imperial Dragon Carefree shouted, “Slow it down! Take a look at his legs and weapon!”
After slowing down the recording, Imperial Dragon Secret was even more astonished as he noticed the clues when Wang Yu was sent flying twice.
“This fella is indeed a talent!” Imperial Dragon Secret was a very strong minded person. He rarely acknowledged another person’s strength openly. However, he had praise Wang Yu after looking at the recordings.
“Yes indeed…” Imperial Dragon Carefree shook his head as he added on, “Precise manipulation, incredibly strong attacks, exceedingly fast reaction… This is indeed a scary man.”
“Are you scared?”
“10% scared but also 10% excited. If such expert fights in this season, he will definitely be a formidable opponent for us.” Imperial Dragon Carefree replied.
“That is a certainty. But what about the remaining 80%?” A curious Imperial Dragon Secret asked.
“Regret. Don’t you think that such an expert wouldn’t be getting proper recognition for his talent since he is stuck with a bunch of rubbish?” Imperial Dragon Carefree sighed.
In this competition, the rest of them were merely passer-bys. Looking at the previous competitions of this squad, it was easy to guess that the rest of them were merely playing for fun.
In other words, this competition was simply a one versus ten competition for Wang Yu alone.
Wasn’t it such a waste that such a top expert was playing for a squad whose name was also incomparably moronic?
“En… So how are we going to rope him over? I believe Boss will support this decision too.” Imperial Dragon Secret answered.
Imperial Dragon Carefree replied in an awkward tone, “If my memory serves me well, this fella should be from the Quan Zhen Sect right?”
“So what about the Quan Zhen Sect?”
“Those maniacs are no good to deal with. Why will they give away an expert like Iron Bull so easily?” Imperial Dragon Carefree said.
“You don’t have to worry about this.” Imperial Dragon Secret chuckled before continuing, “As long as the price is right, there isn’t a corner of a wall that we cannot excavate. Moreover, I don’t think the Blueberry Squad is from the Quan Zhen Sect right? If he could join other squads, this shows that the Quan Zhen Sect has yet to form a squad on their own. I doubt we will need to do much work to deal with such ordinary gamers.”
Imperial Dragon Carefree listened to the suggestion in glee, “That makes sense! Okay, let’s hurry up and act. We mustn’t let other squads get ahead of us, especially the Sanguine Alliance.”
Imperial Dragon Secret replied, “I know that!”
