Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1414 The Competition Begins
"This is..."
Zhao Yueru looked at the Ice-Fire Rage, enveloped in a red and white aura, and was instantly deeply attracted.
As a fragment of a Legendary item, just taking out the Ice-Fire Rage was enough for ordinary players to feel uncomfortable due to the pressure it emitted. The surrounding mana involuntarily flowed towards the Ice-Fire Rage, instantly making it the center of the entire private room.
It wasn't just Zhao Yueru who noticed it; Bai Qingxue and the others also noticed the extraordinary nature of the Ice-Fire Rage.
"Could it be..." Bai Qingxue had a familiar feeling looking at the Ice-Fire Rage, and suddenly thought of a possibility, but then shook her head, feeling that this was unlikely.
However, after Zhao Yueru took the Ice-Fire Rage and clicked to view its attributes, she was completely stunned.
"How is this possible! This is a Legendary... grade... item fragment!" Zhao Yueru couldn't believe it was real.
Just one Epic item could cost the major guilds countless manpower and resources. First-rate guilds could get seven or eight, which was already very good, and even super forces could only obtain a very limited number.
But so far, no super force had been reported to have obtained a Legendary item fragment. For first-rate guilds, it was just a fantasy.
But Shi Feng had actually taken out a Legendary item fragment staff...
She was starting to wonder if Shi Feng really didn't have a backer behind him.
"You must keep this staff a secret, or you should know how serious the consequences will be if it gets out," Shi Feng quietly reminded.
Although he had taken out the Ice-Fire Rage, not just any player could view it. Only the player who obtained it could see the attributes. So, apart from Zhao Yueru, who obtained the Ice-Fire Rage and knew it was a Legendary item fragment, none of the players present knew, including Bai Qingxue. However, Bai Qingxue had already obtained a Legendary item fragment, so she could probably guess some things. But for other players, it would at most seem like a top-quality Epic weapon.
After all, Legendary item fragments were too rare. Even the Shadow Guild in his previous life had never obtained one, let alone now.
"Mm." Zhao Yueru nodded heavily. She didn't expect Shi Feng to be willing to let her use the priceless Ice-Fire Rage. Naturally, she wouldn't reveal the guild's secret.
"Alright, before you go on stage, just equip these Omnipotent Magic Outfits. As for how far you can fight, it's up to you," Shi Feng then took out ten Omnipotent Magic Outfits. Each Omnipotent Magic Outfit could be used for four hours, one hour more than the Titan Magic Outfit. Two Omnipotent Magic Outfits would be enough to last until the end of the Gale Competition.
In the Gale Competition PK, everything was allowed except for items like magic scrolls, Frost Grenades, and burst-type potions.
...
The large venue in the Black Dragon Empire's underground arena, which could accommodate 100,000 people, was now filled with players. The scene was even more grand and lively than the Dark Arena competition. Unlike the Dark Arena, the Gale Competition didn't have such high restrictions. Any second-rate guild in the empire could come to watch, and famous players and adventurer teams in the Black Dragon Empire would also be invited. Filling the largest venue in the underground arena was very easy.
"There are so many players participating in this competition!"
"Tell me about it. Last time it was just a competition within the Black Dragon Empire. I heard that many newcomers from major super forces have come to participate this time. In addition, well-known experts from surrounding kingdoms have also come. So, the number of formal competition slots is twice as many as before, with a total of 6,400 people able to participate in the formal competition. Many of the players who could squeeze into the top 100 last time will probably be knocked down."
"Hahaha, this time our Beast Adventurer Team's leader and vice-leader will definitely squeeze into the top 200 on the overall list. Then our Beast Adventurer Team will definitely be able to be among the top 30 adventurer teams in the Black Dragon Empire!"
"Top 200? Your Beast Adventurer Team was only ranked 40th last time. It would be good if someone could squeeze into the top 500. I heard that the FFF Adventurer Team's goal seems to be for two people to squeeze into the top 100. After all, the newcomers from super forces are very scary every year, not to mention that hundreds of top and well-known adventurer teams from the surrounding kingdoms have members participating."
"That's right, don't forget that it's not just a competition between adventurer teams, but also the major guilds of the Black Dragon Empire. Their foundation is much stronger than adventurer teams. Any of the top experts in second-rate guilds can make the major well-known adventurer teams drink their regrets, let alone first-rate guilds. Only those top adventurer teams can probably compete. Otherwise, large adventurer teams like FFF wouldn't set their goals so low."
The crowd in the stands was discussing the Gale Competition, and they were all excited.
Such a competition could only be seen once a month, and it could be said to be the highest-level competition that ordinary players could see. Just being able to watch it live on the field was already the dream of many players in the Black Dragon Empire.
However, the most enviable were the thirty VIP boxes. In these thirty VIP boxes, they could watch the situation on the ten competition stages at the closest distance, as if they were standing next to them. The feeling was completely different from being in the stands.
However, the number of VIP box slots was limited. In addition to the super forces, only first-rate guilds, second-rate guilds, and the five top adventurer teams of the Black Dragon Empire could enjoy them. Other forces could only envy them from the sidelines.
Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Yuan Tiexin, the host of Tianji Pavilion, also appeared on the central main stage, immediately causing a burst of cheers.
"Welcome everyone to watch the once-a-month Gale Competition of the Black Dragon Empire. Because of the large number of people participating in the competition this time, there have also been some changes in the competition slots and rules. First of all, there are a total of 6,400 formal competition players this time. They will be randomly assigned to ten stages. After that, each contestant will have thirty matches against randomly selected opponents by the system. Each win will earn one point. Finally, the top 100 players with the most points will be selected from each stage."
"Then they will enter the main stage competition. The guilds and adventurer teams whose comprehensive strength ranks among the top three will receive an invitation to our Tianji Pavilion's internal auction. I won't waste everyone's time. The competition starts now!"
As Yuan Tiexin announced the official start of the Gale Competition, everyone in the venue boiled again. At the same time, the participating contestants also felt a lot of pressure. They didn't expect the preliminary round to directly eliminate 5,400 people, leaving only 1,000 people for the ranking competition.
It should be known that these 6,400 people were not ordinary players, but all experts. However, so many were eliminated at once, which was much more brutal than the previous 3,200 people.
After Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, the system also began to randomly group the 6,400 players into groups of 640 people. Only 100 people could participate in the final ranking competition. Then, the comprehensive ranking of the major guilds and adventurer teams would be determined based on the results of the ranking competition.
"Hahaha, it seems the Zero Wing Guild is really lucky. All five of them were assigned to two death groups. In this case, let alone the top ten guilds in the Black Dragon Empire, even the top fifty will probably be difficult," Chi Huo Hu looked at the grouping list made by the system, glanced at the VIP box upstairs, and couldn't help but sneer.
