Chapter 1989 - 1514: Official Commencement! Players Form Teams!_2

He Jin said with a smile, "Although you can sometimes break the rules, you are still within the rules. In the rules, we must abide by the system, otherwise we’ll have a heap of enemies. You agree with this point of view, don’t you?"

Jiang Dali nodded in agreement.

Indeed, although he occasionally breaks the rules, it’s only for those shocking acts. If he truly breaks the rules, he won’t be eliminating enemies, he’ll be creating more of them.

Just now he acted decisively, not without the thought of catching Ling Yun off guard, severely injuring the opponent or forcing out other trump cards.

But the strength of the opponent’s body and power exceeded his expectations, managing to withstand his Illusion Soul Gold Fist head-on in such a hurried moment.

With such strength, as Chen Xin said, she might indeed rank second among the four pillars of the Holy Dynasty, at least Li Menghun and Xu Feng would definitely not be able to withstand his Illusion Soul Gold Fist head-on without preparation and remain unharmed.

Therefore, continuing to fight under everyone’s obstruction is unnecessary.

Because losing the element of surprise, wanting to seriously injure the prepared Ling Yun is already difficult. It might reach the last moment and even if Daylight City is torn apart, the opponent might not be seriously injured.

By now, attendants and craftsmen were trembling as they came onto the observation platform, quickly cleaning and repairing the broken ground.

Earlier, Chen Xin and others protected the venue, so the observation platform wasn’t severely damaged. The cracked ground was quickly repaired.

At that moment, a ripple of spatial wave appeared above the observation platform. Next, a majestic figure bathed in light emerged from the center of the ripple.

"Regent King arrives!"

The announcing eunuch immediately gathered energy at his throat and shouted loudly.

"Welcome Regent King!"

Suddenly, a sound like a mountain calling a tsunami erupted from all directions.

Countless people on the ground knelt down, and everyone on the observation platform paid their respects.

For common people and officials below First Grade, seeing the King requires kneeling, but for the leaders of the four great sects and clan leaders of various top families, seeing the King only requires a salute.

"Only arriving now, deliberately waiting for my conflict with Ling Yun to end before showing up?"

Jiang Dali looked at the rapidly descending figure of the Regent King, thinking to himself.

In the blink of an eye, Regent King Long Lei had descended to the observation platform. His dragon eyes glanced around at everyone before nodding slightly at Jiang Dali, then raising his hand to the countless kneeling crowd below.

"Today is the day of the Hundred Heroes Conference held once every twenty years. It is a celebration for all! I now announce the official start of the Hundred Heroes Conference. All talents from all over the world, may orderly enter once the Holy Bell rings! You all may rise!"

"Thank you, Regent King!"

Cheers spread rapidly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Dali and others were seated by the attendants, looking down from the high observation platform at the arena below, resembling a large chunk of giant white jade gemstone.

"Clang!—Clang—Clang—"

Quickly, the nine Holy Bells were rung in sequence, echoing throughout the venue. With each bell, the vast arena suddenly vibrated and rotated, rising a layer higher.

Upon the end of the nine bell sounds, the arena had become a nine-floor high platform, resembling a huge ring-shaped tower, or an exaggerated giant spinning slide, emitting brilliant light and dense Mingyun Crystal energy.

From all over the world, a crowd of four thousand young experts entered into this vast nine-floor arena, and it didn’t appear crowded; instead, they all maintained a large range of safe distance.

Jiang Dali quickly found Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Yuyan, and others on the third floor of the arena. The six of them gathered together, obviously pre-prepared their battle plans, joining forces to fight to the end.

Other similar teams were plenty.

Though the preliminary selection of the Hundred Heroes Association required each team of three, if teams allied together, it was not interfered with, because only one hundred teams could emerge eventually, with the criteria being accumulating points. Points were shared among the three members of a team, and the only way to earn points was to defeat or eliminate attendees from other teams, choosing eventually the top one hundred teams with the highest points to advance.

This also meant that even if there were alliances among teams, there wouldn’t be too many united together, to avoid having too many people sharing too few points.

But this situation was evidently not considered for the elite players of Black Wind Village who obtained entry.

The players knew well that compared to the locals, they were too weak, even Black Wind Village elite players had only a thirty percent chance of winning against any talent entering the Hundred Heroes Association.

This was because those selected to enter the Hundred Heroes Association were generally elite native templates like small leaders, and people like Lu Xiaofeng were even BOSS-level templates.

Among the many elite players from Black Wind Village participating in the Hundred Heroes Association, only Tie Niu, Li Jianfeng, and Ping Shengaoqi were elite templates, and their power had reached heavenly being status, comparable to experts among natives. Other players were still significantly less capable, and without unity, there was no chance of resistance.

Thus, on the arena, an almost never-before-seen scene occurred...

Eighty teams of Black Wind Village players gathered together, forming a massive combat group of over two hundred and forty people. Players specializing in Cross Refining Technique could endure and fight, players specializing in Hidden Weapon hid in the ranks for sneak attacks, and players specializing in fist and weapon fought with the spirit of village machete teams, whether facing one or ten enemies, rushing forward as one swarm together.

This unconventional tactic quickly carved a path on the arena, attracting countless shocked and bewildered eyes from spectators. However, it also forced some less powerful native teams to quickly band together, launching counterattacks.

"They’re not of our kind, their hearts must be different! Let’s first knock down this bunch of Abnormal People before we battle amongst ourselves."

"Spot on! These damn Abnormal scoundrels are too hateful. My brother was just surrounded by hundreds of them, if not for crushing the life-saving Protective Token, he would’ve nearly been killed."

"Let’s go! We several teams unite and first knock down this group of Abnormal People! Charge!"

A group of Black Wind Village players hadn’t been impressive for long before suddenly a large group of natives jointly closed in on them, immediately causing many casualties and eliminations, almost scattering their formation.

"Hold steady! Hold steady! We can win! Perform a strategic retreat, emergency evade!"

Li Jianfeng, commanding, shouted, and swiftly charged out, channeling two meters of Heaven and Earth Power into his sword, the Sword Qi sweeping and eliminating a native.

"Damn it, it’s so intense, we form a battle group, and the natives also form a battle group."

"Follow me, prepare to charge and break through!"

Tie Niu roared and stepped forward, his Long Spear transforming into thousands of spear shadows. Each strike seemed powerful and heavy, yet precisely targeted at the enemy’s gaps and weaknesses, instantly repelling and eliminating several natives, leading the Black Wind Village players, similar to young calves, to break through.

On the observation platform, Regent King Long Lei observed this scene, a slight, faint smile at his lips. Turning to Jiang Dali, he said, "You’ve trained these Abnormal People quite well. Perhaps this time the Hundred Heroes Association will unprecedentedly have Abnormal People among the ranks."

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes, "It depends on whether they can persist till the end."

Having over two hundred Black Wind Village players participate in the Hundred Heroes Association was his handiwork.

Otherwise, given the players’ connections and the identity of Abnormal People, it would’ve been difficult to obtain the entry slots, mainly due to his unnoticed, quietly influential manipulation.

The intention was for the Black Wind Village players to shine in the Hundred Heroes Association, further enhancing Black Wind Village’s reputation and prestige, and allowing the Regent King to see the intention behind his actions of integrating Abnormal People into the Holy Dynasty, demonstrating that there are experts among the Abnormal People.

However, what drew his more attention was the ninth floor of the arena where a red figure swiftly cleared a circle of people with thunderous might.

"She actually came alone..."
