Even with his Dark Gold equipment, Wastrel’s Strength Judgment was unable to protect him from Lin Jie, whose equipment and blood lineage were all above his.

Lin Jie used Dragon Armor Removal and instantly tore the leather armor on Wastrel into bits and pieces, exposing more than half of his body.

If one had sharp eyes, they would be able to notice that Wastrel’s body was like a skeleton—it was simply like he had put over a layer of skin over his ribs. Of course, if it was the audience who had used the system AI to adjust one’s line of sight, then currently, it would definitely be the close-up of Wastrel’s body. It was difficult not to see it clearly.

“F*ck! Lone Wolf, I’ll XX your whole family! You wait and see!” roared Wastrel, and he disappeared after the skill’s effect.

Wastrel was the son of the merchant Dafu in the real world. He had been born with a special constitution, so he was unreasonably thin and weak. Also, he had been spoiled and pampered since childhood, and he was lustful. Thus he indulged in dissipation and women. He had indulged himself in wine and sensuality excessively, sp his health had been wasted away long ago.

However, with such a special constitution, who knew how many nutrient serums he had drunk, but to no avail as there were no effects at all. Normally, it was taboo for him to have his body looked down upon by others.

After entering the game, he had spent a fortune, so he was rather well-known in the game—his level and equipment were all much better than normal players. In addition, he was quite good-looking, so he had brought quite a number of women into bed. However, even if he did it in the game with women, he had still kept such a secret, and no one knew about it.

Unfortunately for him, Lin Jie’s skill had torn off his leather armor and revealed that “astonishing” body.

Wastrel loved to use the spectator seats’ system AI line of sight previously to look at the battles of female players. That was because when players received high damage, powerful crowd-controlled, knocked away, or floated in the air, and so on, the system Ai line of sight would normally zoom in to give the player an extreme close-up. Therefore, once the target was a female player, Wastrel would enjoy the close-ups of female players, who were in all poses.

Wastrel, who had such a hobby and habit, would naturally know that, currently, most of the people were looking at his close-up, so he was instantly filled with humiliation. That being the case, he admitted defeat and exited the battle.

—’You have beat your opponent, congratulations on receiving 1 [Best Of The Best Finals’ Gift Bag].

There was no suspense in winning this battle, and it also showed Savage Blade’s overwhelming power once again. Of course, excluding a certain Summoner who had been instakilled at the start of the battle. Zheng Ziliang felt ashamed as he said, “This time I’ve lost all face, to be directly instakilled.”

“Their equipment could be compared to ours, and they were all Assassin Hunters, it’s normal for you to be instakilled,” comforted Baili Changcheng. “It’s a pity. That team should have the strength to reach the top five.”

“They deserve it!” said Lin Jie calmly.

Everyone could not help but snicker—he was still jealous!

“Jie, calm down, your skill revealed that pitiful guy’s original self. Most likely, all those girls that wanted to have a one-night stand decided to withdraw. His situation tragic enough,” said Zheng Ziliang with a smile.

Charming Smile looked at the team with an expression, which implied she had understood everything, but she kept quiet. As a woman, how could she not know the situation now?

‘Looks like that girl named Bu Yi is quite important to Lone Wolf. If I can ride Lone Wolf’s coattail, I’ll be able to earn heaps and heaps of money!’ Charming Smile suddenly thought about money. ‘Also, it looks like Lone Wolf is still quite the innocent guy, and that girl named Bu Yi doesn’t seem to take the initiative either. Maybe if I take the initiative now, there’ll be a chance for me?’

Naturally, Lin Jie did not know what Charming Smile was thinking, but he turned his attention back towards the battling grounds.

The next battle was the Kingdom of Glory against a team called Heaven’s Wrath.

Heaven’s Wrath was a new guild, which was getting more well-known in the City of Light, and going strong recently. However, the guild leader of Heaven’s Wrath kept a low profile and was very steady. They did not have any conflicts with other major guilds, and they were almost able to become a first-rate guild. This time, the ones who had joined the Best Of The Best competition were the elite team members of Heaven’s Wrath—Level 46 Assassin Hunter Shoot Through the Sky, Level 45 Ice Mage Freeze Through the Sky, Level 45 Holy Paladin Heal Through the Sky, Level 45 Weapon Specialist Slice Through the Sky, and the guild leader, Level 45 Bandit Heaven’s Mark.

Heaven’s Mark seemed to be about 40 years old and had tact and experienced aura. After he was teleported to the ring, he encouraged his subordinates. “Brothers, if we are able to win the championship in the Best Of The Best competition, then we, Heaven’s Wrath, will officially become one of the first-rate guilds in the City of Light. For the glory, defeat our opponents!”

“Hmph, you won’t have that chance.” Eighteen Massacres’ figure appeared as his voice could be heard. He had his arms crossed and scoffed. “If you can let me save some strength and voluntarily admit defeat, then I will give you a chance to be my affiliated guild.”

“All bark and no bite,” said Heaven’s Mark coldly as he did not bother to argue.

“Hmph, impenetrably thickheaded. You’re just inviting humiliation,” said Eighteen Massacres arrogantly.

3!

2!

1!

“Battle begins!”

“Hurry and end it. I don’t want to waste time on such trash.” Eighteen Massacres waved his hand and stood at his spot—he did not have any plans to make a move at all.

Such blatant mockery instantly enraged Heaven’s Mark. With an order, the five-man team from Heaven’s Wrath instantly aimed at the Priest Zi Mo, who had the lowest health.

The Ice Mage created a blizzard in the center of the ring, then the Weapon Specialist and guild leader charged towards the Priest amongst the falling snow and strong gusts of wind.

“Hmph.”

In the center of the blizzard, suddenly, a burly figure appeared. It was the exclusive bodyguard of Baili Xuanyuan—Baizhan Yusheng! His shield that had sharp spikes had successfully evolved into a complete Dark Gold piece of equipment, where the spikes in the center of the shield were extremely sharp. Baili Xuanyuan had spent a lot of money buying a Dragon’s tooth from the hands of an NPC. Then he had hired a high-grade Blacksmith who spent days of continuous processing before it was successfully inlaid to the shield.

A single soldier is enough to fend off ten thousands of enemies!1

Baizhan Yusheng’s heavy shield blocked the attack from the two people, and instantly loud clanging sounds of metals could be heard! When the Weapon Specialist’s giant axe had just struck the shield, that Dragon’s tooth suddenly lengthened and pierced into the Weapon Specialist’s chest. It had actually dealt 895 points of damage! Heaven’s Mark was even more tragic, as with each attack using his dagger, the sharp spike would shoot an aura, which had nearly instakilled him!

On the other hand, Baizhan Yusheng had only received 300 points of damage, which was almost negligible!

“Shoot Through and Ice Through, keep the Shield Specialist busy, we will go and instakill—” Just as Heaven’s Mark wanted to command, his voice had been stuck in his throat as it was unknown when, but another person had appeared in the back row of his team. That person’s figure loomed as if it was an inconspicuous shadow—Shadower Chaos In The Sky!

When Heaven’s Mark noticed Chaos In The Sky, his dagger had already pierced through the Ice Mage’s Magical Shield. The Ice Mage’s chest splurged out fresh red blood and was already instakilled! On the side, around the Holy Paladin Heal Through the Sky and Assassin Hunter Shoot Through the Sky, a few Red Lotuses had quietly bloomed. The two of them had been instakilled by the Red Lotus Knight’s skill.

In the blink of an eye, three people from Heaven’s Wrath had died!

Weapon Specialist Slice Through the Sky shouted, “Boss, we should at least kill one! You should go!” He used Heroic Strike after Iron-Willed Slam skills to smash onto Baizhan Yusheng’s shield. The damage reflected from the Dragon’s tooth instantly killed him. However, such a desperate attack had successfully made Baizhan Yusheng step back by one step!

Heaven’s Mark gritted his teeth severely, then he activated Rush and charged towards Priest Zi Mo crazily. No matter what, he had to kill one!

Who would have expected the moment before he was about to attack, his vision would blur? Then Heaven’s Mark realized that the person in front of him was not the weak Priest but Eighteen Massacres, who stood in front of him with a cold face.

“Overconfident!” said Eighteen Massacres calmly.

“Gouge!” Heaven’s Mark heard Eighteen Massacres’ mocking tone again and was enraged. He did not care about anything else and just smashed his skill towards Eighteen Massacres. He jumped up high, and his dagger was pierced towards Eighteen Massacres’ head. Gouge was only effective when used from the front, and it could stun the target one second.

Slap!

A crisp sound of being slapped could be heard, and Heaven’s Mark could be seen flying towards the peripheral of the ring! Heaven’s Mark had actually been knocked off his feet by a slap from Eighteen Massacres.

What was more humiliating was that the ring for Ragnarok could extend unlimitedly! Everyone could see that after the guild leader of Heaven’s Wrath, the Bandit Heaven’s Mark, flew away from being slapped, even the ring had stretched by tens of yards!

Heaven’s Mark panted heavily, and his eyes were all red, but he still stood up under the watchful eyes of the audience. He then said word by word, “I admit, Eighteen Massacres, today I am not as skilled as you, but you should bear in mind that one day I will take my revenge for today. The world is small. We are bound to meet again—”

Slap!

It was another loud and clear slap. Eighteen Massacres, who was tens of yards away, had activated some unknown skill to appear right in front of Heaven’s Mark and sent him flying again with a slap. “Trash talk too much!”

This time, Heaven’s Mark did not speak again but directly surrendered!

He understood that no words could allow him to restore his dignity. Instead, he would be humiliated continuously by the opponent!

“This battle… The Kingdom of Glory has won.” When she announced the results, Lin Qingyu’s voice trembled slightly as she took a look at Eighteen Massacres timidly. ‘That man is too frightening.’

Eighteen Massacres smiled coldly and took a look at Codename Lone Wolf, who was floating in the sky. He gave Codename Lone Wolf a provocative look, then he turned and left.

However, there was an uproar in the spectator seats!

“F*ck, Eighteen Massacres is as overbearing as Lone Wolf at the beginning!”

“Not only so, that slap actually stopped Heaven’s Mark’s skill. Do you know what that means? It means that the judgment statistics of a normal attacking motion of Eighteen Massacres could be compared to a top Bandit using skills, it’s just too…”

“The Skill Judgment of Bandits is not counted as strong, and even Lone Wolf can do it, right?”

“I’m not sure if he can do it, but he would never treat a stranger that way. Eighteen Massacres is bad-mannered.”

“Lone Wolf is not any better.”

“Haha, the best is for both to lose! Then I’ll create a guild and rule over the City of Light!”

Without a doubt, Eighteen Massacres’ performance this time was too eye-catching! The same applied to the others—Baili Xuanyuan, who had once become the headlines of the forum, Shadower Chaos In The Sky, Baizhan Yusheng, who had killed the Weapon Specialist with just reflected damage, and finally, the mysterious Priest Zi Mo. Indeed, this competition was very interesting!

Just as Lin Jie was recalling the previous battle, he received a message. It was actually from Heaven’s Mark, the guild leader of Heaven’s Wrath.

“Leader Lone Wolf, I have a presumptuous request. Please teach Eighteen Massacres a lesson after you obtain the first place. We, Heaven’s Wrath, would be willing to enter the Brotherhood!” Although Heaven’s Mark was enraged, he was not hysteric, but instead, he had narrated his wish calmly. Even Lin Jie could not help but admire his strong mental fortitude.

He wanted Lin Jie to humiliate Eighteen Massacres—that was the only way for everyone to forget the shame received.

“I would still do so even without your condition,” said Lin Jie calmly.

Heaven’s Mark was stunned. “Why?”

“Because he caused me to be displeased.” Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders.

The fourth battle was the team Return of The Kings, which consisted of the two guilds of Very Fat and Dark Earl, versus the team from the City of Sea King. In the end, Dark Earl’s Hidden Job Vampire had worked wonders and won the battle.

The final battle was the teams from Sunshine City and the City of Twilight—it ended with the team from Sunshine City winning. Meanwhile, the team leader was Lin Jie’s old acquaintance, Scorching Sun, the guild leader of Never Setting Sun.

Currently, the top five had been decided—Dark Shadow, Supreme Brotherhood, Kingdom of Glory, Return of The Kings, and Scorching Sun’s Never Setting Sun.

“Phew, after watching these few exciting battles, I can’t help but want to join the battle too! Alright, coming up is the MC time. Let me introduce the rules of the final battles. Please don’t mind me as I am a newbie,” said Lin Qingyu as she chuckled. “Also, I have news to announce. The rewards for this Best Of The Best competition are as so!

“The first place, the levels of all members of the team will be increased by 3! Also, they will randomly draw a reward. The highest reward will be… Sub-Legendary items and Legendary special items!”
