Ding!
A familiar chime of The Way of the Extraordinary sounded in his ear, followed by the introduction of the dungeon. "The Way of the Extraordinary map is loading. You will enter The Way of the Extraordinary in 30 seconds. The instance you are entering is 'Life and Death Arena,' number 3371." "Difficulty Level: Unknown" "Type: Multiplayer (Non-Death)"
"Main Quest: Defeat your enemies fair and square on the arena, engage in friendly sparring, and stop at the point of injury." "Note: Non-The Way of the Extraordinary items are not allowed." "The Way of the Extraordinary No. 3371 Description: This instance is exclusive to the 'White Tiger Soldiers' gang and has been攻略."
Zhang Yuanqing reached out, grabbed "Deceased No. 1's" shoulder, and counted down. When he reached thirty, the scenery of the room warped like water. The next second, he saw the azure sky. He saw an arena resembling an ancient coliseum, and all around and opposite him, a dense crowd of people. He didn't recognize any of the official members around him.
It seemed he had been randomly assigned to this location.
In an instant, he felt like he was in a bustling stadium, surrounded by enthusiastic spectators. The only difference was that this arena was built of stone, ancient and worn, like an ancient coliseum. The audience didn't hold LED panel and glow sticks. Moreover, it was very quiet. Although there were many people, everyone tacitly remained silent, watching the armored swordsman in the square below.
That was a tall and sturdy man with a face like jade, sporting a short beard, embodying handsomeness, masculinity, and maturity. He wore a sword at his waist and stood proudly in the arena.
Is this the host? Very unique. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him a few times, inexplicably feeling respect for the armored swordsman, like a raw recruit meeting a general, feeling cautious and prudent. He immediately recognized the man's profession — Scout!
As for his level, Saint or Ruler, he couldn't tell.
At that moment, the armored swordsman opened his palm, and a white light shone, revealing an old sheepskin scroll. He gently tossed the scroll, and with a rustling sound, the sheepskin scroll unfurled in the air and then stopped.
Zhang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes, trying to see the sheepskin scroll clearly, but it was covered in a pure white holy light, making it impossible to see the contents. The armored swordsman's voice echoed through the square. "Everyone, repeat after me..."
"I swear, I will never reveal the details seen in the arena to anyone, in any way." His voice was powerful and commanding, containing an irresistible authority. Zhang Yuanqing's heart trembled, and involuntarily, uncontrollably, he recited, "I swear, I will never reveal the details seen in the arena to anyone, in any way." He knew this was the ability of a high-level Scout, making people unconsciously obey.
Countless people spoke the same sentence simultaneously, and the countless voices converged, like a rolling torrent, extremely spectacular. The armored swordsman continued, "I swear, I will never reveal the appearance of anyone seen in the arena to anyone, in any way." The crowd: "I swear, I will never reveal the appearance of anyone seen in the arena to anyone, in any way."
The sheepskin scroll in the air "hummed" and trembled, and a ripple of pure white holy light spread out, and in the dark, it seemed that rules were established. Anyone who violated the oath would be severely punished. The armored swordsman nodded in satisfaction, opened his palm again, and the sheepskin scroll rolled itself up, falling lightly back into his hand.
That item just now seems to be a profession item from a foreign country called "Knight." The ability to sign contracts is too obvious... The details that cannot be revealed probably refer to details like item attributes... The appearance is also prohibited from being spread, the authorities have considered it very carefully….
As Zhang Yuanqing pondered, the armored swordsman's voice sounded again.
"The opening ceremony is over. In twenty minutes, the daily match list will be randomly generated. Each person has one chance to withdraw halfway each day. Recite the words on the sign in my hand to do so." Zhang Yuanqing squinted and saw that the armored swordsman was holding up a wooden sign, on which the words "Return" were engraved.
"Return."
A rough-looking man next to Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously recited the words on the wooden sign after seeing them clearly. The next second, he disappeared on the spot. This fool is a Fire Controller, right? Zhang Yuanqing gaped, impulsive, reckless, habitually acting on instinct without thinking… He's probably a Fire Controller. The armored swordsman continued, "Those who leave halfway will not be able to enter the arena again that day."
This… Zhang Yuanqing sympathized with that brother for a second. After speaking, the armored swordsman walked toward a position in the first row.
At this time, the silent "arena" was filled with a cacophony of sounds. Some people waved and greeted acquaintances, some shouted friends' names, and everyone frequently changed positions, rushing toward close friends and lovers. Oh, it's free time now, and we can change positions? Zhang Yuanqing immediately stood up and looked around.
Finally, on his left, in a rather distant place, he saw Guan Ya.
Although there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the arena, the figure and appearance of the seasoned driver were still so outstanding, easily standing out from the crowd. Guan Ya was currently waving in a certain direction with a bright smile, her radiant expression showing her inner joy.
Who is she greeting? Zhang Yuanqing followed her gaze and saw a mature woman wearing a black T-shirt and light blue tight jeans, with smoky makeup, silver earrings, and bright, striking features. It's the Queen! He breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately got up and moved closer to the seasoned driver. "Sister Guan Ya!"
"Oh, I was just looking for you and saw the Queen first." Guan Ya's eyes lit up when she saw him, revealing a happy expression.
At this moment, the Queen, who had been waving for a long time but had no intention of coming over, had a bright expression in her eyes. She left her companions and trotted over. Guan Ya said, "I waved for a long time. Although the Queen responded to me enthusiastically, I could tell from her micro-expressions that she didn't want to come over, didn't want to leave her companions, and thought that as long as she showed enough enthusiasm and happiness when greeting me, she could get away with it. But as soon as you came, she came running over."
What are you trying to express by saying this? Are you trying to express the fake friendship between you women? Zhang Yuanqing muttered silently. "Hey, Yuan Shi, long time no see!" The Queen stopped and stood prettily, smiling brightly.
《Heavenly Apocalypse》
"Oh, my Queen, you're getting more and more beautiful after not seeing you for so many days. If you continue to be this beautiful, I won't be able to resist pursuing you." Zhang Yuanqing offered sincere praise. At the same time, he felt a little relieved. He was most afraid of the Queen shouting "Yuanshi Tianzun."
Then the people around would be watching.
There are too many homophones of "Yuanshi," making it difficult to directly associate it with Yuanshi Tianzun. The Queen smiled sweetly and sat down next to Zhang Yuanqing generously. "Who was that person in armor just now?" Zhang Yuanqing turned his head to look at Guan Ya on his left.
The seasoned driver's gaze was fixed on the distance, her profile as beautiful as a fairy, but also as cold as ice, as if she hadn't heard him. Why is she giving me the cold shoulder for no reason... Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.
The Queen on the right "thoughtfully" opened her mouth and said, "That's an elder from your Songhai branch, Wu, I think. He hosted the arena match last year as well." She looked down at the first row and said, "The people sitting in the first row are all elders. However, I only know Elder Hongying and Elder Sun from the Taiyi Sect, Elder Fusheng and Elder Shuiyi from the Freelance Province, and Dog Elder from Songhai. I know that host elder, but I don't know his The Way of the Extraordinary ID."
As a grass-roots cadre, the number of elders she knew was limited.
Zhang Yuanqing leaned over to take a look. There were at least twelve elders sitting in the first row, an exaggerated number. Moreover, this was only a portion of them. Such a scene where so many important figures gathered only happened once a year, which was indeed exciting.
"Are the five leaders here?" Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously.
The Queen shook her head and said, "The five leaders are rarely seen. Not to mention us The Way of the Extraordinary stage members, many deacons have never seen them." Zhang Yuanqing was a little disappointed, but he also thought it was reasonable.
Just as they were talking, another pleasant voice came over. "Brother Yuanshi," a crisp voice mixed with a delicate tone. Zhang Yuanqing didn't even need to turn his head to know who it was.
Xie Lingxi's outfit today was very homely and pure, white canvas shoes, light-colored narrow jeans, a white T-shirt, and tech-savvy headphones covering her fluffy hair. "You're here too?" Zhang Yuanqing waved with a smile.
Xie Lingxi didn't come over immediately. Her bright eyes rolled, and she looked at the bright and elegant Queen and said嬌滴滴, "Hello, sister. Can I sit next to Brother Yuanshi?"
Her gentle and pure posture made people want to take care of her subconsciously.
The Queen hesitated for a moment, lifted her butt, and moved out silently. Xie Lingxi happily said, "Thank you, sister." She squeezed her little butt in between the two of them, intimately hugging Zhang Yuanqing's arm. The Queen was a little disappointed, and Guan Ya was even colder.
"Brother Yuanshi, I came by freeloading on my dad's invitation. Only a few high-status people from non-official families can participate in this kind of grand occasion. My dad is going into a dungeon soon, so it's cheaper for me." "Brother Yuanshi, come to my house for crabs in the fall. My Xie family rarely invites outsiders to our crab feast, but my dad specifically asked you to come."
Xie Lingxi chattered non-stop.
The Queen on the side was shocked and scrutinized the high school-looking girl. This is a member of the Xie family? Speaking of which, she's also from the Freelance Province.
"Little sister, which branch of the Xie family are you from?" the Queen couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, my dad is the head of the Xie family." Xie Lingxi maintained her innocent and naive persona. The Xie family's direct line… The Queen was taken aback.
The Xie family's young lady is so worshipful and obsessed with Yuanshi Tianzun? She lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent. People from non-official The Way of the Extraordinary families will also come… Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred, and he asked, "Girl, take a look. Did the Zhu family head's sister come? You know, Chi Yuean's ex-wife."
Xie Lingxi said "Oh" and immediately stood up, looking around, carefully scanning the "vast sea" of people. After a long time, she "Ya" with excitement: "That one, that one, it's her."
Zhang Yuanqing followed the direction she was pointing and squinted his eyes, trying hard to see. It had been too long, and he couldn't tell who she was referring to at all.
Well, since that woman was once trained by the Demon Lord, she must be very beautiful. We can question the Demon Lord's character, but we can't question his taste. Zhang Yuanqing relied on his feeling and found a target in that sea of people. That was a voluptuous woman in a white dress. She was too far away to see her features clearly, but the charming and dignified aura gave people a very different feeling.
Find a chance to test her? See what her reaction is to Bronze Sparrow Tower and Chi Yuean? Or just recognize her face, get familiar with her first, and stay put for now? After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yuanqing decided to choose the latter. Dealing with the Zhu family's young lady wasn't urgent. He had to wait until he was promoted to Saint.
He moved his gaze away without showing any expression.
At this time, there was still plenty of time left in the twenty minutes, and the random matching had not yet begun. However, most people had already found their companions, and the scene of running around was calming down. Only a few people were still wandering around. Zhang Yuanqing heard two women not far behind him talking in suppressed excitement. "That, that's Young Master Qian, Fu Qingyang, the one in the white suit. He's so handsome!"
"And Young Master Hua. I heard that Young Master Hua is a very gentle person, understanding and the most knowledgeable about women's hearts. Every woman dreams of dating him." "Huh? I heard that he's a playboy who changes girlfriends very frequently."
"What do you know? True beauty is never about eternity, but about having possessed it." Similar whispers were happening everywhere. It was human nature to look for star-level figures.
Small host, there are more chapters behind this one, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following will be more exciting!
"That red-haired one is Jiang Ju, right? Oh no, I made eye contact with him. I feel like he wants to beat me up." "Hey, there's also a red-haired little girl next to him. Is that Jiang Jingwei?"
"Haha, Land Lord is still so energetic, old but strong." "Where's the Ghost King of Fengdu? Point him out to me." "Nong, the one behind Elder Hongying."
"So that's him. He's not very handsome, but his aura is so strong. I noticed him just now. There are so many people on the Taiyi Sect's side, but he's the only one who makes people unconsciously pay attention to him." "Then the one next to him is Yin Ji? Why is she wearing a mask? I want to see how beautiful the Demon Lord's lover is."
"Don't mention the Demon Lord. Are you courting death?"
"Is that effeminate man in ancient costume the Sound Idiot? He's quite handsome, but I like more masculine ones." "Ah, do you like Fire Controller? Effeminate men are good. They hit my spot."
"Zhao Chenghuang is there. I saw Zhao Chenghuang. He's handsome and aloof. Will I be rejected if I ask him for an autograph?"
"Zhao Chenghuang has a noble aura. Although most level 3 Night Wanderers have a similar aura, his is particularly strong." "It's a pity that I'm afraid of ghosts, otherwise I would definitely pursue him."
"Sun Miaomiao is too good-looking. I like girls with round faces. They're very sweet and cute." "She's not only beautiful but also so talented. Unattainable, damn it!"
"That's Qing Songzi, that's Guo Hezu, that's Tianxia Guihuo… Where is Yuanshi Tianzun? I can't find him." "Yuanshi Tianzun is a newbie. Not many people have seen him. I want to see what it's like to clear two S-level The Way of the Extraordinary people."
As a legendary figure, although he is not ranked high on the top 20 list, there are many people looking for Yuanshi Tianzun.
In less than three months since becoming a The Way of the Extraordinary member, he has been promoted to level 3. Since his debut, he has cleared S-level and high-difficulty A-level instances consecutively, and killed the infamous Li Xianzong. Under many auras, the rank of 11th place cannot suppress the curiosity of the members of each branch about Yuanshi Tianzun.
It's a pity that this person debuted too short. Even many official The Way of the Extraordinary members in Songhai have not seen him. Zhang Yuanqing was also watching the star-level players, focusing on the Taiyi Sect's side.
The Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect are easy to find. They are sitting behind Elder Sun and Elder Hongying, wearing black dresses and black clothes, which are easy to recognize. The people he mainly focused on were Sun Miaomiao, Yin Ji, and Zhao Chenghuang.
The distance was a bit far, and he couldn't see the target's features clearly. He only vaguely saw that Sun Miaomiao had a round face and was a very outstanding beauty. Yin Ya was wearing a veil and wearing layers of black dresses. He couldn't see her figure and features, but the shape of her gave people a feeling that was very charming. Zhao Chenghuang's facial features were already good. He folded his arms and sat still, vaguely revealing an arrogance and self-confidence that despised everything.
At this time, a gentle and sweet voice interrupted Zhang Yuanqing's gaze. "You're here too." The woman said.
Zhang Yuanqing turned his head and saw a blonde woman with blue eyes next to him at some point. She could not be described as beautiful, but should be described with derogatory words such as "temptress", "femme fatale", and "seductress". Normal beauties are pleasing to the eye and make people feel love, but Annie makes people want to strip her clothes off and enter her forcefully.
The three women around Zhang Yuanqing frowned and instinctively showed hostility.
Especially the little green tea, who felt the all-round crushing from the other party. The seductive smile, the shameful chest, and the round buttocks were all a dimensional blow. Xie Lingxi couldn't help but hug her Brother Yuanshi's arm tightly.
She hasn't grown up yet, she's just a weak and helpless girl who only loves her brother. "Miss Annie," Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile, "Did you also receive an invitation from the Five Elements Alliance?"
Annie nodded with a smile, her voice soft and beautiful: "I came with Mr. Bill, and happened to see you, so I came over to say hello loudly. I forgot to ask your The Way of the Extraordinary ID, and I didn't know what to call you just now."
Speaking of which, she didn't even know Zhang Yuanqing's real name, only knew that his mother was called Chen Shu.
Zhang Yuanqing followed her gaze and saw Bill Tarantino, who had deep features and mature male charm. The foreign businessman nodded to him.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded in response, retracted his gaze, and said to Annie with a smile, "I'm just a small person, nothing to mention." Annie didn't say much when she heard this, smiled lightly, and turned to leave.
Zhang Yuanqing once again turned his gaze to the gathering place of the Taiyi Sect disciples. He suddenly heard Guan Ya's voice: "Jiang Jingwei, that dead girl, is coming over." What? He was shocked and hurriedly looked over. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Jingwei jumping around over there, running towards him and Guan Ya with a happy face. Seeing Zhang Yuanqing discover her, Jiang Jingwei waved vigorously and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yuanshi Tianzun, over here, I'm over here!"
Yuanshi Tianzun Annie, who had just taken two steps, suddenly stopped. The official The Way of the Extraordinary members around Yuanshi Tianzun all looked over in unison with extremely neat movements.
