Essence Demon and Desire Youth had already decided they must ask Guo Huai or Nie Yan for information about which class Nie Yan was in and his real name!
“Let’s not ask now. Brother Guo is busy handling guild matters, and Lord Nie Yan might be on a quest,” Sha Budaide Huaishi said to Essence Demon and Desire Youth.
“We understand. We’ll ask later when we see Lord Nie Yan,” Essence Demon, Desire Youth, and others nodded in agreement.
After recruitment was completed, they moved on to the PK phase. The central arena was set up with twenty individual platforms where players could freely engage in duels. Each class would participate in a round-robin format to determine the strongest. Teams would also send three representatives for group round-robin battles.
The atmosphere in the arena became tense, especially among rival groups. A heavy sense of hostility hung in the air, particularly between Blue Wind Chime and Blood Murder. Sha Budaide Huaishi, Essence Demon, Desire Youth, and others were already eager to fight.
Blood Murder’s Ming and others also decided to step onto the battlefield.
“Last time we fought against Blood Murder, we won nine matches and lost six. We also lost the team battle, so it was basically a draw. This time, with Essence and Desire on our side, let’s see how we crush Blood Murder!” Sha Budaide Huaishi gripped his staff tightly. Back then, his gear had been terrible, and because he had died too many times, his level hadn’t increased much. But now, after a long period of rest and recovery, he had reached level 85, matching Blood Murder’s members. His equipment had also vastly improved—he now had five sub-legendary items, an impressive feat that allowed him to look down on anyone from Blood Murder.
Sha Budaide Huaishi wasn’t the only one with impressive gear. Essence Demon, Desire Youth, and others had equally amazing equipment. Nie Yan had provided them with many clues to collect sub-legendary and legendary gear, and each of them had obtained several pieces. Each was equipped with at least three legendary or sub-legendary items, plus Nie Yan had given them a large amount of level-100 gear with reduced requirements. In terms of equipment, no one could rival the members of Bull Man Tribe. As for skill, Sha Budaide Huaishi, Essence Demon, Desire Youth, and others were absolutely top-tier. Let alone Shi Li Huasha, a priest who could both heal and excel in PvP, a rare find indeed.
“Where are Leng Aoying and Heibai? If they were here, we could totally dominate Blood Murder in team battles!” Sha Budaide Huaishi said excitedly.
“Leng Aoying and Heibai are finishing a dungeon. They’ll be here soon,” Shi Li Huasha replied. Both Leng Aoying and Heibai had messaged her, saying their dungeon task was nearly complete.
“Great! Then I’ll go play with them first,” Sha Budaide Huaishi said, unable to contain his eagerness.
“Fine,” Shi Li Huasha smiled helplessly. Sha Budaide Huaishi had always been impulsive, so she could only let him go. After all, it was just a one-on-one duel.
Sha Budaide Huaishi leapt onto the arena and stood in the center, pointing at the members of Blood Murder and shouting, “You brats from Blood Murder! Your grandpa is here! Who dares to come up and play with me?”
Sha Budaide Huaishi’s arrogance immediately enraged the members of Blood Murder. Although Ming and others managed to stay calm, the others below were already boiling with anger.
“Damn, Sha Budaide Huaishi is too arrogant! I bet he’s gotten a lot of good gear recently,” Feng said, eyeing Sha Budaide Huaishi’s equipment with envy.
“Ming, what should we do? Should we go up?” Lie asked.
“Let some of our lower-level thieves go up and play with him first. Let’s see how much he’s really worth. If we go up directly and lose, it’ll be embarrassing,” Ming replied. He was more composed. Without knowing Sha Budaide Huaishi’s current strength, rushing up recklessly might result in a humiliating loss in front of everyone, which would damage Blood Murder’s reputation.
A thief leapt onto the arena, ready to insult Sha Budaide Huaishi. But before he could even steady himself, Sha Budaide Huaishi swung his staff and cast Frostfall. The area where the thief stood instantly froze over. Before the thief could even activate Sprint, Sha Budaide Huaishi launched a Fireball Assault. A blazing fireball shot forth and struck the thief, sending him flying out of the arena with a loud crash.
“Damn it! That was an ambush! How shameless!” The members of Blood Murder were furious.
“You guys ambush all the time too! This is called using your own methods against you. Weren’t you five the ones who ambushed our Lord Nie Yan? That’s why he lost! And you’re proud of that? I’ve seen shameless people before, but never this shameless!” Sha Budaide Huaishi mocked them mercilessly.
Ming and the others were furious at Sha Budaide Huaishi’s taunts.
However, the players watching the arena were deep in thought. Why was Blood Murder so famous? Wasn’t it because they nearly succeeded in assassinating Nie Yan? But as Sha Budaide Huaishi had said, five people ambushing one wasn’t something to be proud of. In the end, it was because Kuang Zei Nie Yan was too powerful and famous, not because Blood Murder was particularly impressive.
Sha Budaide Huaishi looked at Ming and the others with disdain and mocked, “You’re only sending up these weaklings? I’m not even bothered to lift a finger. If you’ve got guts, come up here and fight like real men instead of hiding like cowards.”
All eyes in the First Military Academy were now fixed on the five members of Blood Murder. They had no choice but to step onto the battlefield now.
“Damn it! I’ll go!” Ying cursed and leapt onto the arena.
Sha Budaide Huaishi stretched his limbs and prepared for battle. As Sha Budaide Huaishi and Ying began their duel, Essence Demon and Desire Youth also stepped onto the arena, challenging the thieves from Blood Murder.
Blood Murder and Bull Man Tribe had long been bitter enemies. Blood Murder had tried to assassinate Nie Yan but failed. However, they had killed many members of Bull Man Tribe. At least two or three hundred Bull Man Tribe players had fallen to Blood Murder’s thieves. Ordinary Bull Man Tribe members stood no chance against Blood Murder.
Sha Budaide Huaishi, Essence Demon, and Desire Youth naturally wanted revenge.
Ying exchanged a few blows with Sha Budaide Huaishi and grew increasingly alarmed. The last time they had fought, their strengths had been roughly equal. But now, just a few weeks later, everything was different. As soon as they clashed, Ying found himself overwhelmed by Sha Budaide Huaishi’s powerful attacks. He could only keep dodging, unable to even get close to his opponent.
