Chapter 582: Qin Ruo’s Actual Profession

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After they had returned into the game, the Angel Faction’s players were still immersed in killing the Demon Faction’s players. However, there were already many players who had started discussing the Grand Tournament and some of them had even started preparations.

The strongest ten thousand.

The official website had announced the list of the top ten thousand players. Such an announcement was recognition to the players and at the same time, it also showed the Angel and Demon Faction’s players’ rankings.

For sure, passionate players would have not missed out such a precious opportunity to gloat their prowess!

By excluding the first and second phase, they still had four more days to prepare. As long as they progressed to the fifth phase, every player there had the opportunity to be in the top ten-thousand list. Even if they could not achieve that, they could still enjoy the Grand Tournament on its own.

After all, such a competition was rare and did not happen all the time!

“...”

“This competition has so many rewards... There are even ten Demigod equipment listed as part of the reward...”

“Hey guys, how many in our league do you think can get into the top ten?”

“Not again... The competition hasn’t even started, and you are all fired up already.”

There were people who treated this competition passionately, but there were also people who treated it coldly as well.

“Two people! League Master and Fatale! They both can get into the top ten list for sure!”

“Yeah! That’s a given for our League Master. Big boss Fatale is also invincible in solo PvP...”

“Damn you, brother Rock won’t let you get away from this if he knows you had forgotten about him... No matter what, brother Rock can cast Teleportation, summon six Level 52 One-eyed Orc, and Gravity Field. You think he can’t get into the top ten?”

Members in Fallen Angels were chatting in the League’s channel.

They were discussing the competition and predicting how many people from Fallen Angels could get into the top hundred or even top ten.

They just started the conversation, when someone had already rooted for Black Rock, thinking that Black Rock must surely get into the competition’s top ten list by default.

“Not really...”

“Gravity Field is effective against normal players, but to use against Champions, it may be useless.”

Clan members in Fallen Angels had different opinions regarding Black Rock. They would not rate Black Rock positively just the sole reason that he was their comrade in the clan.

“That ‘s right, Demon Faction has many Champions. However, Angel Faction has many strong people too... Majestic Hero, Netherclaw, Fatale, Scarlet Bauhinia, Snowmelt, Black God... Our Clan Leader is strong too...” The person who said this was The Executors’ clan member.

“But they have not fought before...”

There was someone who thought otherwise. The Gravity Field held a big advantage in sealing enemies’ aerial ability and it was very helpful in gaining airspace superiority. After all, Sin City had also fallen in such a way.

Such statements had made a random person in the crowd feeling humored and annoyed.

Subjugator gloated and pushed Black Rock over. “Not bad kid, you got into the top ten so fast.”

“Cut it out... Such flattery is uncalled-for.”

Black Rock was annoyed and rolled his eyes at Subjugator. He was actually feeling depressed deep down inside.

Being overly flattered was not a good thing for him as the pressure on him to achieve was too high. In addition, he knew clearly that most of his power relied on Galbis’ Despair set. In fact, he only held the lowly rank of Field Commander, which was just about the same as Subjugator. It was still far away for him to become a Champion.

However, the Galbis Despair set granted him advantages that ordinary players did not have, especially the Gravity Field. Countless players had fear and respect of the Gravity Field and due to this reverence, countless members in the Fallen Angels had high expectations on him.

Nevertheless, his power was only equivalent to people like Dark Dragon. It was ridiculous for him to be able to get into the top ten of the Grand Tournament...

“To be frank.”

After closing the League’s channel, Black Rock suddenly had a change in his tone. He looked at Subjugator and Judge, then spoke worryingly, “Honestly... Do you all think our Clan Leaders would have the opportunity to take down the...” Just before he finished, he raised up his index finger and looked for the two peoples’ advice.

Both the Subjugator and the Judge looked at each other, both shaking their heads at the same time.

“I thought I was the only one who had such worries.”

Black Rock put his finger down and sighed helplessly. “Geez, the Mythic are too silly. Why did they choose to organize the Grand Tournament at this moment?”

The Judge had a dull, placid expression on his face and one wouldn’t have known what he was thinking.

The Subjugator was similar to Black Rock, upset and worried. They were dissatisfied with the competition’s inconvenient timing...

They had just crushed the Demon Faction and wiped off their previous humiliation, and the Fallen Angels could have utilized this time to develop themselves further and maintain their position as the first ranked clan in the Angel Faction.

Who knew that a competition with millions of Honor Points as rewards would suddenly materialize out of nowhere. Besides, many Champions from Demon Faction had declared in the official forum that they would crush the Angel Faction ruthlessly in the competition. Those Champions included Savior, Sinistress, Zeus, the others and themselves.

Although Winter Demon Qin Ruo’s name had gotten more famous over time, luck was very important to win the competition’s phases four and five. Moreover, Qin Ruo’s power...

By being randomly paired, Qin Ruo might be faced with an opponent’s Champion. It was hard to say who would win if that was so.

Additionally!

Some Champions from Demon Faction had immeasurable power, the best ones were even stronger than Majestic Hero and Netherclaw...

In a solo PvP, Qin Ruo did not know if he could beat them.

If Qin Ruo had to fight the Savior or Sinistress, he would surely have a low success rate! Especially for Savior, that magic of his was much stronger than Majestic Hero’s Black Hole!

“...”

Just when Black Rock, Subjugator, and Judge started to worry for Qin Ruo, Qin Ruo himself had already gone into the Underworld, bringing together Xin Yu, who was very excited as it was her first time entering the Underworld.

After equipping her Legendary equipment, Bandit Xin Yu commanded her clone to rally a group of Tier 6 Skeleton Specters. She and another two clones followed behind and focused their powers on a Skeleton Specter.

A Skeletal Specter was confused by the clones. Since the Skeleton Specter was chasing the clone, it could not cause any threat to Xin Yu’s original body and hence, it was defeated easily by her.

For every Skeleton Specter she defeated, she became even more excited to choose her next target. Xin Yu was obviously enjoying such killing moments.

“You are very good to Xin Yu.”

Qin Ruo and Pretty were looking at Xin Yu from not far away. Pretty cooed with emotion when she saw Xin Yu utilizing Clones, Ambush, Stealth and other abilities to kill the Skeletal Specter without the pet’s help.

Qin Ruo stunned for a second. He looked at her and smiled.

“She was so good to me as well...”

“I know... Xin Yu told me she had given you a temporary place to live. So, you are now paying back her right?” Pretty’s statement seemed to have double meanings.

Qin Ruo smiled gently. “...If this can be considered paying back as a form of appreciation...” He stopped his talk and slightly nodded his head, then continued, “Xin Yu will come back before long. Speaking of which, you have my gratitude during these times. If not because of you, Xin Yu must have been lonely there.”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Just say it.”

Qin Ruo replied without turning back his head.

“Please allow Xin Yu to continue to stay at the Ascendant Sabre Clan. I do not wish to be estranged from her...”

Pretty looked at Qin Ruo with begging eyes.

“I thought you would have asked me to take good care of Xin Yu in the future.” Qin Ruo seemed to mock himself and rubbed his nose while looking at Pretty. Pretty smiled and said, “For this, I believe you will do it very well even without my asking.” Qin Ruo currently held a high position in his League, but still he did not forget to accompany Xin Yu. From Pretty’s perspective, this was considered to be very good.

“Don’t worry, I won’t force Xin Yu to be separated from you, despite the fact that I don’t really like your purposeful ‘kindness’ to Xin Yu. After all, I don’t like to force people, and Xin Yu is an adult. She knows how to choose.”

Qin Ruo’s statement seemed to imply another thing.

“...”

Pretty looked at Qin Ruo with a shocking and confusing look.

“What purpose can I have with Xin Yu? I think you are the one with purpose. You suddenly asked Xin Yu to forgo her pet and face a group of Tier 6 Skeletal Specters alone. Why did you do that?”

Obviously, Pretty did not want to pester Qin Ruo with the previous topic.

Qin Ruo did not care much. He looked at Xin Yu who was fighting happily nearby and smirked.

“Xin Yu partnered with Galbis was indeed able to cover her inability to complete certain tasks. Even if she had met a strong Tier 5, Xin Yu can still fight. But this is not enough... The Grand Tournament will progress under the radar. To prevent cheating, the system setting does not allow the players to know their opponent before the competition...”

“Huh?”

Pretty spoke with a surprising tone: “You decided to have Xin Yu take part in the Grand Tournament? I mean, you wanted to let her fight for the top ten thousand?”

“Of course.”

Qin Ruo nodded his head with a ‘why not’ expression.

“This...”

Pretty’s expressions suddenly became interesting.

“This is impossible, Xin Yu was just in the game not long ago. Even if she had a full set Legendary... she cannot win with her lack of combat experience...”

“Oh, this is why I let Xin Yu start her training here. She cannot rely too much on Galbis, for that is her killer move. If she uses that in a critical moment, she can bring out a result higher than that of Lizard Bandit. I will accompany Xin Yu in the Underworld for these few days and teach her some tactics to handle high-tier players. And you?”

“Why you don’t want to grind to the next level for these few days?”

Pretty looked at Qin Ruo and asked.

Qin Ruo shook his head. “I am Level 54 right now. Even if I wanted to grind without going offline and resting, three days are only enough for me to increase one level. So small an increase in attributes doesn’t help much.”

As he spoke, he stopped for a while and then continued, “During these few days, I must concentrate on studying Water Element’s high-tier Elementalism technique. After all... Elementalism was my actual profession and the forte to my superiority.”
