“Guys!” Lan Mo received a message, and his face turned grim when he read it. Then, he gathered people like Xue Daolv and Ye Songtao to his side.

“I just received a message that those big families have cut off all the spiritual artifacts and mineral resources sales channels of our Wuwei Daoist Alliance!”

“This is outrageous!” Ye Songtao’s face turned livid.

“They can only bully us! They don’t dare to smash this shop!” Xue Daolv also looked furious.

“Alliance Master Lan, what do you think that we should do?”

“In my opinion,” Lan Mo said, “We can stall them and keep this situation undercover for a while.”

“Then…”

“What else can we do?” Lan Mo said, “We’ve placed our bets. If we submit to them now, they will think that we are weak and are afraid of them. Do you think they will be good to us?”

“It is better if we work together and take the risk!”

Ye Songtao and Xue Daolv could do nothing but smile bitterly at each other.

They wondered how they got themselves in a situation where they got cliffs on both sides.

What else could they do?

…

“The druid got close to his opponent with teleport as soon as he entered the battlefield!” Xiao Yulv stood up from the couch. “Castellan An teleported away at the same moment that the druid took out the staff! He did it almost simultaneously!”

All the people stared at the screen. With his high cultivation strength, An Huwei wasn’t slow in these plays!

“Bu Che followed him with several teleports, but Castellan An teleported away almost always at the same time!” Xiao Yulv exclaimed, “He solved it! After the slaughter of sorcerers and sorceresses, Castellan An seemed to have found a way to solve the problem!”

“Castellan An seemed to have added several items that can enhance his speed of casting spiritual spells. He broke the teleport staff strategy with his powerful reflexes!”

All the people froze at An Huwei’s plays on the big screens.

“He is, after all, a grandmaster!”

“He can achieve such a feat…”

“You can’t catch old birds with chaff!” Returning to the shop, people like Lan Mo and Ye Songtao each bought a box of spicy sticks and yelled between bites.

“Bu Che will soon use up his teleports! Still, he gained no progress!” With his eyes glued to the screen, Xiao Yulv suddenly yelled in excitement, “Oh! Cloak of Shadows! This time, Castellan An can’t see Bu Che’s movements and thus can’t teleport simultaneously!”

“Wow! This spicy stick is an ultimate delicacy in the world!” While listening to Xiao Yulv’s loud commentaries, Lan Mo and the others chewed and savored the spicy sticks and watched the match. “It’s surprising that people can battle like this in the virtual world!”

“Yeah!” Jun Yangzi picked up a spicy stick. “It’s much more fun than the Cultivation Realm Conference.”

“The teleport is interrupted again!” Xiao Yulv slapped his thigh. “The sorcerer is at a disadvantage!”

Soon, An Huwei’s HP was emptied!

“So soon!?”

“Who are the competitors in the next match?”

“I want to watch more!”

“Senior Nalan versus Fu Jianghe, the second biggest dark horse!” Xiao Yulv looked at the screen. “Em? Where are they? One is missing.”

[Nalan Hongwu won the match due to the withdrawal of his opponent!] A notice appeared on the screen.

“F*ck!”

“What happened?!”

“Because he knew that he would lose?”

Fortunately, it was only a small interruption and didn’t affect the process of the competition.

No skills were prohibited in this competition because Fang Qi found that it was not necessary.

Each class had its powerful aspects and its limits, and Fang Qi never thought to change this fact. After all, people could use these spiritual spells and combat techniques in the real world. Could these players restrict and limit their enemies from using certain skills?

Of course not!

Since the competition was based on the real world, it wasn’t necessary to restrict skills.

“The next match! Lan Yan versus Song Qingfeng!”

Both excelled in close-range combats, and everything was more physical. Besides, it was a fierce battle since they were fighters on the same level in the real world. Song Qingfeng was proficient with the saber, dagger, and close-range combat skill, mastering all types of close-range combat. On the other hand, Lan Yan’s paladin activated the Holy Shield and wasn’t afraid of close-range combat!

On the big screen, people saw flashes of sword and saber!

The assassin in the black leather armor moved swiftly like a ghost while the paladin’s light shield blocked the attacks without a miss!

“Brother Xiao, what do you think?”

“I don’t know!” Xiao Yulv’s face turned dark.

“Song Qingfeng is the winner!”

“The next match! Wang Tai versus Li Haoran!”

Fatty Wang was obviously bolder in this match. While using Dim Vision to lower his opponent’s sight and senses, he used Decrepify and endless bone spirits steadily. Soon, he gained the upper hand!

Li Haoran saw silent bone spirits swarming up from all directions in the darkness, and he was forced to teleport. When he came back and was about to cast spells, all kinds of curses swarmed up to him again!

It was the second time that people witnessed the great power of this class. The powerful tracking ability of the bone spirits didn’t need necromancer’s aiming, so they didn’t need to worry even if their vision was restricted.

Even though not as mobile as sorcerers and sorceress who had teleport, the necromancers still could cause great trouble for their opponents with all kinds of curses that had long casting ranges.

With more confidence in himself, people saw Wang Tai winning the match without more trouble.

“It’s the shop owner’s scheme!” Nalan Mingxue commented while eating spicy sticks on the couch.

The Diablo competition and Counter Strike competition were held on alternative days. On the second day, the big forces showed their great power and smart strategy in the Counter Strike competition. However, the Royal Team didn’t make the top 8, nor did the Blue Flame Team which had been defeated by the two powerful teams from Lingyun Academy in the beginning!

In the end, the top four were the two teams from Lingyun Academy, the Liuyun Team led by Su Tianji, and the team of independent warriors including Liang Shi.

Although Song Qingfeng’s assassin barely defeated Lan Yan’s paladin, he was no match for Nalan Hongwu’s paladin!

Without a teleport staff, Wang Tai found that it was difficult to handle Bu Che’s strategy of teleport and siege. Despite the great power of the necromancer, this class wasn’t invincible. In a PVP against a druid on the same level, the necromancer’s lack of a teleport skill put Wang Tai at an disadvantage.

The druid summoned the wolves, grizzlies, and vines, and they sieged his opponent against the curses. The result was obvious.

In the end, Nalan Hongwu took the first place as everyone expected, but they were astonished to see that Bu Che and Wang Tai had taken the second and the third places respectively!

Song Qingfeng could do nothing but smile bitterly. After all, curses were indeed powerful in close-range combat. Besides, Wang Tai was a warrior instead of an ordinary person or a dummy. When he tossed out the Iron Maiden, it immediately turned Song Qingfeng’s assassin, who mained martial arts skills, useless.

On the other side, the Counter Strike team competition also came to an end.

The Lingyun Team led by Nalan Mingue took the first place with dominant strength. To people’s surprise, the previous second place, Lingyun Team 2, was defeated by Shanshi Team led by Liang Shi in the semifinals and got only the fourth place.

As for Liuyun Team, due to Su Tianji’s great individual strength and the gradual growth of her teammates, they finally took the second place.

The three-week competition finally ended!

“Boss! Where are the prizes?!” Jiang Xiaoyue looked around, more eager than the champions. “We haven’t handed out the prizes yet!”
