Chapter 376: The Judges

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After one day.

The top 20 for the Final Tournament were selected, and the Guild of Light’s first tournament had officially begun!

In the center of the City of Light, it was the City of Light Central Auction House. Anyone would be surprised to see what was on the third floor. In this small auction house, there was a Colosseum! Dozens of statue displays were placed in a fan-shape, and there was no end to it. The weather was constantly changing, and the sight was truly magnificent!

If players were to look closely, they could see about 30 Space Mages hiding in the clouds, casting their spells that created this area.

It was hard to find even one Space Mage, and there were more than 30 now!

Thus, the Guild of Light indeed treated this tournament seriously! Tyrese had come the day before and asked to rent the third story of the auction house as it was a very well-known place. To show the Guild of Light’s power, they had decided to use Space Mages to expand the place and teleport the entire region.

Lin Jie had agreed without hesitation. Although it was just a tournament and the Space Mages would leave after that, some power of the Space Magic would remain here. It could at least expand the entire area twice! If other events were held there in the future, it was possible for the place to have an area comparable to the city itself!

It would be a city within the city!

There would be millions of spectators for the tournament, and their seats were random. They could receive EXP, coins, materials or gift bags, and other stuff every half an hour. The EXP was more than farming mobs, which attracted many players there! Not to mention the exciting competition.

“Woah! I can’t wait! My idol Skyscraper from the City of Sea King is in the tournament too! He’ll be the champion!”

“What a joke. Guess you didn’t know that there are three players from the City of Elves. They are the top three Druids in the game!”

The crowd was chattering away. There were many different races, representing individual Cities.

A player in the corner snored and said, “So what if you have one or three guys here? Let me tell you something interesting. There are 14 guys from the City of Light!”

“What?”

“14?! Jesus! Are you serious?”

“It is not that surprising at all.” Another guy from the City of Sea King spoke up. “Ever since the City of Light killed the Demon Dragon, there have been many more players here. The Sky Provisions Shop here sells rare potions and buys low-grade equipment to help the newbies here. Almost everyone here got help from the shop. There is even this Auction House in the city that has many rare items. City of Light is the focus of many players, so most pros came from here too.”

Another player smiled and said, “Sure, there are many people here in the City of Light, so the larger number of pros here is no surprise. But, out of these 14, 10 of them are from Brotherhood.”

“Brotherhood? 10? What? I know Codename Lone Wolf is strong, but the rest?” The fellow from the City of Sea King was shocked.

“Hmph, and here I thought you were well-informed. Brotherhood’s Savage Blade was formed by Lone Wolf himself. Everyone there is a top-notch player. Skyscraper, you better not let your guard down if you want to be the champion.”

“Thanks, bro.” That fellow was a pro from the City of Sea King, Skyscraper. He was a member of Neptune. Neptune had many strong players and abundant resources. Skyscraper was aiming to become the champion of the tournament.

Just as everyone was chatting, a graceful figure walked up the stage.

The lady was very beautiful, with a pair of cat ears matching her catsuit. Other than the translucent underwear she was wearing, she was barely covered in any clothing.

“Wowwww!”

“What a beauty from the City of Light!”

“Not bad!”

Most guys were fired up, and some even started to whistle.

That girl was the reporter that had a bad day the previous day, An Xiaoran. Although she had been badly insulted online by people sent by Lin Jie, An Xiaoran had composed herself and decided to show up with the most revealing clothes she had.

‘Any star will need hype.’ An Xiaoran believed that if she grabbed hold of this opportunity, she could possibly climb over Junior Mo and become the top journalist.

‘Hmph, these men are just horny. They can’t control it. Lone Wolf, since you exposed my photos and my old stories, I’m going to start a war openly with you! You can do whatever you like in the City of Light, and there are many haters too. As long as I show hostility towards you and those people favor me, I’ll not be alone.’ An Xiaoran was secretly brewing a plan in her head.

She lifted her hips and said in a cute voice, “Dear players, welcome to the first tournament of the Guild of Light. I am An Xiaoran, your emcee for today!

“We will draw lots for the matches. You lose, you out! Now, let’s invite our participants!

“Top in Light-Point Ranking, Skyscraper, Elemental Sword Artist from the City of Sea King!”

A teleportation circle appeared, and an Elemental Sword Artist with blue armor walked out. He was holding a huge Ice Sword. Just like Baili Changcheng, he specialized in the Ice Element too.

“The next three in Light-Point Ranking, they are Druids from the City of Elves, Beauty King, Gentleman, and Handsome Me!”

Accompanied by the laughter from the crowd, the Druids appeared. All of them were Level 33. Druids were powerful but very hard to level up. Level 33 was really impressive for a Druid. Those three were a Beast Druid, Healer Druid, and Arcane Druid, respectively.

As for their looks, one of them had thick lips, one had big ears, and one had an ugly nose. None of them fitted their character name.

An Xiaoran laughed and gave them an encouraging look. Upon seeing that the beauty was looking at them, the three quickly sent friend requests…

An Xiaoran accepted them all and announced, “Next, the Water-Splitting Assassin Ninth Master! He is a Hidden Job player.”

“Hehehe, hi, guys.” Ninth Master appeared on the stage, and he looked very, very obscene.

“Snail with House, a mercenary from the City of Light!”

A short, tiny Bandit appeared. His height only reached the knee of Ninth Master. His face was covered in a mask, with eyes full of lust.

Other than him, there were Baizhan Yusheng, Demon Robe from the Three Alliances, and a mysterious player who hid his name with the help of an item. He was none other than Baili Xuanyuan.

At last, it was the time for the 10 Brotherhood members.

Qiu Yuan, Baili Changcheng, Domestic Fat Cattle, Star Kill, Lost Camel, Red Dust, Innocent Killer, Dejected Night, Netherblue, and Wantless.

After the fight with Ninth Master, Qiu Yuan had encountered 7 Bandits. She had been filled with anger and killed all of them, thus making her way to the finals.

After announcing all the members, An Xiaoran spoke again, “These are the last 10 members from Brotherhood. Sadly, the so-called pro in the City of Light, Codename Lone Wolf, did not manage to enter the finals for some reason.”

“She doesn’t seem to like Brotherhood at all.”

“Her name is An Xiaoran, Junior Mo’s competitor. Junior Mo is with Lone Wolf, and always getting insider information. It will be hard for An Xiaoran to surpass him.”

“An Xiaoran has some influence here. Maybe we can get her work for us.”

“Hold on. She’s just a reporter, it doesn’t matter if she has the big rack, we need to see what she lacks. If she’s good, we will make our move.”

There were all kinds of discussions among the crowd.

An Xiaoran smiled. She believed that her attitude had intrigued many powerful people. She said in a lovely voice, “Now, let’s invite the judges for the finals! Corporal Mohamed of the City of Light, Commander Tyrese, and… Viscount? Codename Lone Wolf?”

Seeing the last name, An Xiaoran was shocked.

Codename Lone Wolf, was the judge?

A player as a judge? What?

The crowd heard the name, and an uproar erupted! So far, only NPCs were the judges. Now a player was among them? What happened?

Swoosh!

Each renowned NPC appeared in the judges’ seats with a bright light shining upon them. In the last seat, Codename Lone Wolf appeared! Under his Lone Wolf Helmet was a heavy armor with glittering design.

“He is Lone Wolf!”

“His armor seemed evolved?”

“Experts like him all have a few pieces of Dark Gold Fragments. It is not strange that his equipment has evolved.”

Lin Jie stood up and looked down on the awkward An Xiaoran.

“An Xiaoran, thanks for your effort. We are good now, go take a rest. We don’t want you to get too tired,” he said.

Everyone was shocked.

He was chasing the emcee down the stage!?
