Fearless and the rest never liked such competition. Indeed, this was just a waste of time.
One match’s time limit was 40 minutes and one competition had 5 rounds, each round had 11 matches.
Even for fast teams, they still needed almost an hour to decide the results. For slow teams, if they came across shameless people like Ming Du, one match could take tens of minutes.
Just one round of preliminaries and Quan Zhen Sect had been at the arena for more than ten hours since 8am… It this was not supported by large guilds, no one would waste time on it.
After leaving the PVP Arena, Wang Yu logged off. By then, it was already 8 to 9pm.
Mu Zixian was cooking in the kitchen. Wang Yu had nothing better to do so he went on the forum.
Since he became a professional player, Wang Yu only had two forms of entertainment – go online to play the game and go offline to check the forum… He was more and more like a normal player.
By then, the forum was already flooded with the results of the preliminary round. Both the general and main city forums were full of posts about the preliminary round.
On the first day of the preliminary round, the 15 regions in the entire server had quite a few dark horse teams which managed to catch everyone’s attention.
Of course, they were local teams so there was not many with outstanding abilities. Most of them were popularised because they grounded but there were still strong teams.
In the 15th region, there was a team called “Absolute Power” which impressed Wang Yu.
Amongst these dark horse teams, Quan Zhen Sect’s, A Murder Of Crows, was also included, especially the video of Spring Halo using the wind to identify the location of his three opponents, it was streamed to the 2nd place.
On top of the video of Spring Halo was a line of caption, “The real Pugilist.”
This caption was not attractive but Wang Yu could not stop himself from clicking in.
Firstly, the word ‘Pugilist’ attracted Wang Yu, and secondly, Wang Yu wanted to see who could push Spring Halo to the second place.
Wang Yu clicked in to see the team’s information and he was stunned.
In the video, it was a local team from the 2nd region called “Peerless Pugilist” who did not show their individual players’ detailed information. They only showed their levels and jobs. Their players, on average, were slightly above level 40 which was slightly behind other teams at the moment.
What Wang Yu found unbelievable was that everyone in the team was a Pugilist.
Damn it, this game calls for a balance. They could not be short of a single job. Furthermore, at the moment, Pugilists could not exhibit their advantage. An entire team of Pugilists, were they seeking death?
Watching till then, Wang Yu could not help but turn on the battle video.
This team of all level 40 Pugilists could be at the top so they definitely had their strengths.
Indeed, once he turned on the video, he saw a very familiar body. That player’s moves were extremely strong and had shockingly accurate judgement. He was even a little handsome.
“Hmm? Isn’t this that something Yun?” Just then, Mu Zixian brought the food into the room and said upon seeing the player in the video.
“Yes, it is Nian Liuyun… This lad disappeared for so long, so he had formed his own team.” Wang Yu said as he stood up to receive the plates from Mu Zixian while staring at Nian Liuyun in the video.
“Si…” Mu Zixian saw how Nian Liuyun threw his opponents around scarily. She took a deep breath in and said, “He is so good!”
Mu Zixian’s skills might not be good but after being in Quan Zhen Sect for so long, she had a keen eye. She never saw a Pugilist with such good judgement. Even Wang Yu did not throw his opponents all around.
“Yes!” Wang Yu said, “This guy’s job is Grasping Fighter so all his skills are grabbing related and have a ridiculously high judgement. Also, this guy is also a martial arts expert so it is expected to have such operations.”
“Wow, you can defeat him, right?” Mu Zixian asked with surprise. In real life, Mu Zixian had no qualms but it was different in the game. Nian Liuyun’s job was purely for PVP so he had an advantage over every other job.
Wang Yu said, “Him alone is no problem. I am most worried about the other people in his team.”
“Other people?” Mu Zixian was puzzled, “Who? Even better than him?”
“Better or not, I’m not sure, but definitely clingy!” As he spoke, Wang Yu pointed at a female Pugilist outside the arena and asked, “Do you know her?”
“Erm…” Mu Zixian looked at her closely and suddenly widened her eyes and said, “Isn’t that Li Yujie?”
Mu Zixian still had a very vivid memory of this mighty girl.
“It’s her!” Wang Yu said, “Nian Liuyun’s real name is Li Yunnian and this lady is his elder sister. Don’t judge her by her bad character. Her martial arts skills in the younger generation is one of the best.”
“So impressive? How about you?” Mu Zixian asked after hearing Wang Yu’s comment on this lady.
Wang Yu said, “I’m different from her. My comparison is the older generation of experts…”
“Are you self-praising yourself?” Mu Zixian rolled her eyes.
Wang Yu insisted, “You can’t deny it is a fact.”
Mu Zixian, “…”
“These few lads on the side are also descendants of the well-known families with good martial arts, comparable to Little Yang,” Wang Yu said as he pointed at a few others.
Mu Zixian looked at where Wang Yu pointed and amongst them, saw two other familiar faces. These two idiots were those two who wanted to take on Old Tong one-on-one.
“You mean that all the players in this team practice martial arts?” Mu Zixian was shocked to see how Peerless Pugilist had such a luxurious line-up.
As the person closest to Wang Yu, Mu Zixian knew how useful martial arts was to online games. Not mentioning anyone else, just by Yang Nuo who was an Archer, had no problems with short distance combat against a few others.
Initially, it was shocking that Quan Zhen Sect had two of such people but who knew that this team had a dozen, with every single one of them of Yang Nuo’s standard. How insane…
“Yes…” Wang Yu said, “No wonder all of them are Pugilists. If we meet them in the professional tournament, we will have a hard time…”
If it was one-on-one, Wang Yu had absolute confidence that he could defeat any one of them, even if a few of them came together, Wang Yu did not fear. However, the problem was that in Quan Zhen Sect, only Yang Nuo could match up to them.
In the professional tournament, it is a point accumulation system. Other than the team battle, one person could not control the other two battles.
Furthermore, 1v1 and King of the Hill battles took 30 points. If they were unlucky, they could lose 28 out of 30 points… Obviously, it was dangerous to meet such an opponent.
