Volume 2 Chapter 21: Martial Arts Tournament (2)
Around 1pm, the semi-finals were all over, and the top eight players entered the finals in the afternoon. Needless to say, I was the first to advance, and also the player with the highest chance of winning; the orc lawless man had a high level and strong equipment, and successfully made it to the finals, and I regarded him as a big enemy; Xiao Yi also participated in the competition and became the only female player to enter the finals. Haha, her popularity is far beyond that of other players. I'm afraid that more than half of the more than 100 million viewers in Fantasy have automatically become her cheerleaders; the fourth-ranked player on the leaderboard, Mr. Van Fels, the only player at level 39, also entered the finals, so the top four players on the leaderboard All of them were shortlisted, which shows that level is indeed very important in Fantasy. Among the other four players, one is an acquaintance of mine, the object of my first transaction in Fantasy, Brother Myna, he did not waste the golden hand axe I sold him, and his level reached 38, and he is also a strong man ranked in the top 20; I don’t know the other two players, one is the only archer among the top 10 players, and the other is an assassin ranked in the top 30; the last player turned out to be Wenxin, this guy is lucky, he stumbled all the way to the finals, and he didn’t even meet any decent masters!
It's a pity that both Lonely and Badao were eliminated. Lonely's strength was still a little weaker than the real masters, so it was not surprising that he was eliminated; Badao had a chance, but unfortunately he had the weakness of high attack and low defense, and was defeated by someone who used targeted tactics after his details were known. If Badao had practiced two more levels, he might even have a chance to be in the top three!
Before the finals, I drew number three and played in the second round! My opponent was the assassin I didn’t know: the Phantom of the Past.
The assassin profession is rarely chosen by players in Fantasy. Compared with warrior professions, it has less health, lower defense and weaker attack. It has no long-range attack means, and unlike thieves, it can not bring great help to the group in team actions. It only has some auxiliary skills such as stealth, backstab, confusion, ambush, etc., which are very effective assassination means. However, except for PK maniacs, who would kill people all day long? Besides, the punishment for unprovoked PK in Fantasy is very severe!
The biggest role of an assassin is to be a bounty hunter. For example, if a player applies to the system and offers a certain amount of money to hunt down an enemy (to be approved, there must be sufficient legitimate reasons), the system will issue this task, and the assassin is undoubtedly the best person to perform this task. A very small number of professional players choose the assassin profession for this reason, but I think it is a job with very unstable income. You don't know when a task will appear, whether you can succeed, or whether there will be competitors.
In addition, powerful groups will train a group of assassins to be used as professional killers. It is a very effective tactic to assassinate members of rival gangs during group battles. It is even possible that the outcome of a group battle may be decided by the killing of the commander.
However, it is very expensive to train assassins. It is difficult for assassins to level up by themselves. Someone must form a team to train them. To use assassination tactics in team battles, it is not enough for one or two assassins to achieve results. To train dozens of high-level assassins, it means that hundreds of combat professionals are needed who are willing to spend time training assassins. But with such effort, the same number of business route players such as craftsmen, foundry masters, and pharmacists can be trained, and the benefits brought by that are not comparable to dozens of assassins.
Assassins are good at assassinations, but they are often no match for ordinary combat professions in head-on combat. This former Phantom has been able to reach level 38 and reach the quarterfinals in such a formal competition. He must have some unique skills and should not be underestimated.
In the finals, there is naturally only one competition venue, and the rules of the competition are that there is no time limit. The winner is determined when one side dies or is knocked out of the ring.
The first match was between Van Fels and the archer. As soon as Mr. Fels appeared on the stage, cheers and applause rang out around the ring, mixed with slogans such as "Fels, I love you! Fels, I love you!" A closer look revealed that all of this gentleman's fans were female gamers.
Phils is also a celebrity in Fantasy, because he is the only player in the top 10 who has disclosed his identity. He acts in an upright manner, which is completely consistent with his profession - a knight like me. On the forum, his identity was revealed. It turned out that he was a descendant of the royal family of an ancient European country (the European Union has officially merged into one country, so there is no such thing as "a small European country"). Although he no longer has the title of prince, his handsome appearance, elegant conversation, and incomparable aristocratic temperament have attracted the admiration and love of countless female players, just like a big-name movie star in the fantasy world. Today, he was fully armed, wearing a standard knight armor shining with silver light (the silver caught my attention. It is very special. Although ordinary white equipment may also be this color, it will not glow, and with Phils' level and identity, it is impossible for him to wear such rubbish equipment. Therefore, it is very likely that it is a holy spirit equipment "Armor of the Blue Sky" that ranks among the top three on the item rankings). He held a knight's rapier in his hand, and his wavy golden hair fluttered in the air. His charming demeanor immediately overwhelmed a large number of female players, and since this game, Phils has been nicknamed "Son of the Sun"!
After Phils came on the field, he first followed the etiquette and gave the archer a standard classical knight's salute. This made the player a little confused. He couldn't just salute in the same way, right? It was funny that the archer gave a knight's salute... but if he didn't salute in return, he would lose his grace and momentum. But what kind of salute is only for archers? This was really embarrassing. In the end, he could only bend down and bow slightly.
The referee announced the start of the competition and the archers immediately took action!
None of the people who made it to the quarterfinals were simple characters. The archer moved extremely quickly. He first slid backward to create some distance, and then hid behind a beam of light. Of course, the beam of light was transparent and could not conceal his figure, but he cleverly took advantage of this and bent his bow and drew his arrow behind the beam of light, allowing his opponent to clearly see that he was ready to attack. Then he swayed his body left and right, making it impossible to judge from which direction he would attack!
However, Phils did not dodge or retreat. He stood in the center of the ring with a smile on his face, watching his opponent's movements quietly.
The archer finally lost his patience. Besides, Fields' body was completely exposed, which was a perfect opportunity for him to attack. All the spectators didn't understand what Fields was thinking. With the knight's agility, it would be difficult for him to dodge the arrows shot by the archer. According to common sense, he should also retreat behind the light column to make it more difficult for his opponent to attack.
The archer flashed to the left like lightning, with most of his body flashing out of the beam of light. The longbow and sharp arrow in his hand were already aimed at the opponent. At the same time, there was a small movement of his right hand that was controlling the bowstring. People with sharp eyes would surely notice this movement and would mistakenly think that he had let go of the arrow, and their body would make a subconscious evasive movement!
However, the archer dodged and moved to the right side of the beam of light again. This time, he really shot the Cloud Piercing Arrows - Three Consecutive Shots! The arrows shot towards the target at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. He was not a magic archer, but a divine archer!
The Divine Archer has no magic skills to assist him, and his arrows do not cause magic damage, but he specializes in physical damage. His arrows are faster, stronger, and more accurate. If operated well, he is more difficult to deal with than the Magic Archer!
However, facing the arrow that was shot with the power to pierce through the clouds and split rocks, Phils did not make any move!
Were the three arrows coming too fast and too fiercely, and Phils didn't have time to react? No! All three arrows "ding ding ding" hit his armor, but each arrow could only cause him a dozen points of damage. His armor was indeed the Sky Armor, which could have such amazing defensive power!
But just like that, Phils will suffer a loss in the end. Although he will not be in danger of dying, he will definitely lose the game.
The true power of the Holy Spirit equipment has been brought into play, with a 20% chance of attack reflection!
One of the three arrows bounced back at the archer with exactly the same force as it came at!
The archer had never expected this to happen, and was caught off guard by the arrow he shot himself, which caused very little damage to Phils, but it was a big difference for him, as the arrow took away more than 300 HP from him!
The archer stood there in a daze. Faced with such equipment, he could not continue the battle. The opponent didn't even need to make a move. The more he attacked, the greater the loss he would suffer.
The archer suddenly raised his right hand and said to the referee: "I give up."
Phils won almost without a fight and easily entered the semi-finals!
It was my turn to play in the second match. When I stepped onto the stage, only a few spectators cheered me on. Damn it, I was number one, so why was my popularity not as high as Phils'? Even those who cheered for me were probably the players who bet on me to win in the casino, right?
I am a little relieved that my opponent has received fewer bets... Although according to the profiteers, the latest odds offered by the casino have dropped my odds of winning to 0.5 to 1, while the odds of this former phantom are as high as 47 to 1, I believe that few people dare to bet on this big underdog...
I looked at my opponent carefully. This guy is really suitable to be an assassin! His face is so ordinary that you can't recognize him in a crowd. There is no feature that can be retained in your memory. Such a person is a real killer, because he can launch a fatal attack without you noticing!
Unfortunately, this is on the stage. Whether he looks ordinary or outstanding, how can I judge a contestant who can enter the finals by appearance? Naturally, I will go all out and try to take him down as soon as possible.
After drawing out the Tiger Soul, I stroked the knife with my hand seemingly nonchalantly, looking cool. As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, I suddenly rushed forward and swung my hand to strike with the knife!
This is the tactic I planned in advance, the idea is to surprise attack, the assassin must be very agile, and I am very worried about this person, because I really can't think of any way for an assassin to defeat so many masters in such a face-to-face battle and enter the top eight. A strong enemy is not scary, an opponent you don't know is the real threat! If I can use this surprise attack, using the power of the tiger soul to kill the opponent instantly, wouldn't it be a one-time solution, clean and tidy, he won't be able to use any powerful tricks, as for some people accusing me of being despicable and shameless, I don't care, victory is the most important thing!
I had expected my opponent to be highly agile, but I really didn't expect his agility to be this high! My sudden attack really caught him off guard. He didn't react until Tiger Soul was three feet away from him. However, he just moved his feet slightly, and my eyes blurred. The former phantom disappeared from my sight. My Tiger Soul missed, and at the same time, I felt a slight pain in my back. I was stabbed by him in the back!
Damn, this attack caused little damage to me, almost negligible, but his weapon was poisoned and I was poisoned!
I understood instantly that this assassin must have used the same method as Tyrant Blade, except that he used agility weighting! Although his attack was low, he somehow got a good weapon with poison attack, so when he was leveling up, he could use the hit-and-run tactic, aiming at a monster and slashing it, then running, slashing another monster, and running again... Anyway, the monsters couldn't catch up with him or hit him, so he could lead a long line of monsters to run a marathon. And since his weapon was poisonous, the life of the monsters that were slashed would continue to decrease over time after being poisoned. If the monster was not poisoned or the monster was not dead until the poison effect disappeared, he would just turn around and slash it. This leveling efficiency was definitely higher than that of the magician, no wonder he was leveling up so quickly, and when it came to PK, other players couldn't keep up with his movements at all, and only he could PK people and no one could hit him, no wonder he was invincible!
Although I understood the other party's background, I was helpless for a while. What's worse was that I didn't expect this situation to happen and I didn't bring any antidote!
Fortunately, the toxicity of his weapon is not strong, only 30 HP per second. With my HP, I can almost make up for most of the loss by myself, and I only need to drink a bottle of life water after a long time. The rules of the finals are not timed, otherwise I will almost certainly be judged out when the game time is up. Now I can slowly think of ways and look for opportunities.
After a long time of struggling, I actually didn't suffer much loss. Although the assassin was very agile, his attack was very low, and he often couldn't break my defense. Without breaking my defense, the poison couldn't work, so I didn't have many chances of being poisoned. I only used three bottles of medicine in total. It was just that the scene was very ugly, as if I was helpless against the assassin who was constantly moving at high speed. But a real master could see that the assassin was actually dangerous! He was extremely afraid of my Tiger Soul Blade. This thing sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, and I couldn't even control it. There was no fixed firing pattern at all. If the assassin happened to be hit by a knife, he might be killed instantly!
If we keep dragging this out, I don’t know when we’ll be victorious. If I don’t kill the assassin, and my backpack has enough capacity, I won’t be able to use up all the medicine until dark…
Oh my god, I have to use my ultimate move!
I put away the Tiger Soul and took out a big bow amid the uproar of the audience!
With the bow in hand and the arrow on the string, I aimed the tip of the arrow at the assassin's moving body. As long as the opponent pauses for a moment, I will definitely deliver a lightning strike!
The Phantom's face remained unchanged, and he still looked dead serious, but I detected a hint of panic in his eyes!
I can understand his situation. The assassin's attack is at close range, and he wants to get within the attack range. At such a close distance, no matter how agile he is, he has no guarantee that he can avoid the arrow attack.
If he were facing a pure archer, he would not be afraid. The archer's attack power was limited, and being hit by one or two arrows would not be a big deal. In terms of the total amount of blood loss, his poison would always have the advantage.
My main job is a knight! The knight has high strength, which also greatly enhances the lethality of the bow. With the assassin's health and defense, it would not be fun to be shot by me !
In this way, the situation immediately reversed, and the assassin had no way to attack me!
Having gained the advantage, I took the initiative and moved forward slowly. In order to had no choice but to gradually retreat as I moved forward. After a while, he had retreated to the edge of the ring. He had to use the light column to block and go half a circle along the arc of the ring. When I turned around, he was back to the center of the ring.
But if this continues, it will be disadvantageous to him. He has to move at high speed without stopping, which consumes much more physical energy than me! Although the body in reality does not need to move, the mental burden is not small. I want to see how long he can hold on. As long as he shows a flaw, it will be my chance to take action!
The two sides fought for more than ten minutes. The audience in the audience became impatient and started to make noises. There were shouts such as "Shoot! Shoot him to death!" and "What are you afraid of? Go up and kill him!" But it did not affect my and Xi Ri's attention at all, because we were both masters and knew that this kind of battle was a test of endurance and will. Whoever was distracted by external affairs would be the loser! Especially me, even if I was exposed due to distraction and was hit by the opponent, it would not matter. The advantage was always on my side, but it would have an impact on me psychologically. I would feel that I was just relying on my level, equipment, and skills. If we fought under equal conditions, I would not be the opponent of Xi Ri. I was not willing to accept that sense of failure and frustration!
Finally, the assassin got tired! His running speed was obviously not as fast as at the beginning. At that time, I could only see his faint afterimage, but now I could clearly distinguish his figure.
I loosened my hand and an arrow shot out...but it didn't go directly at the assassin, but slightly towards the direction he was moving. If the opponent didn't stop, wouldn't he be hit by this arrow?
The former phantom had no choice but to stop, turn around, change direction and continue running. But this instant gave me the opportunity to shoot the second arrow!
In order to ensure the shooting speed , I don't use skills such as triple shot and holy light arrow. I just use ordinary one-arrow attack. Although the attack power is not strong, the speed of stringing and firing is the fastest.
I had already calculated the target of the shooting... None of the arrows were aimed directly at the assassin. From the first arrow, I just wanted to block his escape route and force him into a desperate situation! I had already simulated and calculated in my brain where each arrow should be shot. Therefore, after the first arrow, I didn't need to aim at the target at all. I just shot the arrows at the predetermined direction. Unfortunately, these arrows forced him to be unable to move left or right. He didn't even have the chance to escape behind the light column and hide. He was forced into the gap between the two light columns!
The time has come. This time I took aim and shot the arrow. The former phantom had no room to dodge and was hit right in the thigh!
Now he is in a miserable situation, with the arrow stuck on his leg. If he doesn't pull it out, it will affect his agility. But if he pulls out the arrow, the pause caused by this action will be enough for me to launch another attack!
Even if Xiri hesitated for a moment, I would not miss the opportunity. I put three arrows on the bow and used the Holy Light Arrow skill at the same time. The arrow tips emitting slightly white light were aimed at Xiri. This actually announced his failure. No matter if he wanted to move or pull out the arrows first, he could not avoid these three arrows. And with my attack power, it would be absolutely no problem for me to kill an assassin in seconds with three arrows.
I was a man who could take things easy in the past, and I immediately admitted defeat to the referee! I made it to the semi-finals!
After walking off the stage, the third round came up, it was Xiao Yi and Myna. Myna was fine, but as soon as Xiao Yi came on stage, the cheers and applause from the audience almost made me vomit blood. Oh my god, it was even more powerful than the roar of a tiger king!
This is no wonder. Xiao Yi is the only female player who made it to the finals. For this reason alone, she is famous all over the world. What's more, her unparalleled beauty and transcendent temperament have attracted everyone. Beautiful women are born with advantages, and this has been the case since ancient times. Considering the current 3:1 ratio of male to female players in Fantasy, it is not surprising that Xiao Yi has far more fans than Mr. Fields.
Just looking at those players who were frantically shouting Xiao Yi's name, I suddenly had a strange thought. If I suddenly jumped out and announced that I was Xiao Yi's "fiancé", would I be hunted down by hundreds of thousands of people with weapons? Although I am the top player in Fantasy (I will be worthy of the title if I win the championship), I still feel so scared when I think about it!
The competition began. From the appearance point of view, although Xiao Yi was considered tall among women, the Minotaur Berserker Bage, who was over two meters tall and extremely strong, was undoubtedly much more powerful in momentum.
However, although I knew that Myna had the dark gold weapon "Crazy Storm" and although I knew that Xiaoyi's equipment was not particularly outstanding, I had already predicted that the result of the game would be a foregone conclusion.
In a one-on-one PK, the magician's advantage over the warrior is his high agility and magic that can perform long-range and area attacks, while the warrior usually has low magic defense. Although orcs are born with a certain magic resistance, they are particularly afraid of fire magic. Therefore, as long as the distance is maintained, the warrior will always be the one to bear the blow. In terms of medicine consumption, the warrior will definitely suffer.
The weakness of the magician is that the defense is low and the blood is low. As long as the warrior seizes an opportunity to attack him at close range, he may be killed instantly. It is okay in the time-limited preliminaries and semi-finals, but under the rules of the finals, which are not time-limited, the battle will last for a long time and such opportunities will definitely appear, so it seems disadvantageous to Xiao Yi on the surface.
The problem is, Xiao Yi’s level has reached 40, and she has learned a very important and practical skill for the magician, “Magic Shield”!
This shield formed by magic power can greatly reduce the damage of physical and magical attacks, and makes up for the magician's fragile physique. Therefore, level 40 is the watershed of the magician profession. The strength of a magician with or without a magic shield is completely on a different level.
In addition, Xiao Yi had drunk monkey wine, so her HP was extremely high among mages. Even for me, it might not be possible to kill her instantly, let alone the starling.
A mage who cannot be killed instantly is almost invincible.
Moreover, Xiao Yi is a half-elf of a hidden race. God knows if this will bring her any secret skills!
Sure enough, Xiao Yi used the fire magic "Flame Missile" and fireballs exploded like a string. The starling couldn't dodge in time and took most of the attack.
The starling also knew that it would have no chance of winning if it didn't get close, so it relied on its long blood to withstand the rain of fireballs and rushed towards Xiao Yi.
However, Xiao Yi cleverly placed a wall of fire in front of himself and retreated at the same time. Myna was in so much pain. The orcs ran in the wall of fire and lost blood very quickly.
Helplessly, Starling rushed out of the fire wall from the side, but the orcs were not as agile as the mages (except for special branch races such as werewolves and leopards who have extremely high agility after transforming skills at level 60, Tauren obviously does not belong to this category). If he had to run in an S-shaped route to go around the fire wall, he would never be able to catch up with Xiao Yi even if he died of exhaustion!
However, Xiao Yi fought and retreated, and gradually retreated to the edge of the ring. If she wanted to regain her space to move, she had to break through from Starling, which gave Starling a chance to attack.
The starling went berserk and launched a mad attack, but his luck was not very good. Xiao Yi dodged it by a hair's breadth and rushed behind him.
The starling turned around, and another round of chase began. I estimated that the starling had consumed a lot of red potions. Xiao Yi's magic attack was very high, and orcs were afraid of fire, so each attack could deduct hundreds of HP points.
When Xiao Yi retreated to the edge of the ring for the second time and tried to break through Bage, Bage did not waste the opportunity this time and Kuang Lan chopped Xiao Yi on the waist!
However, a light blue spherical energy shield appeared on Xiao Yi's body in time, and the attack by the starling did not achieve the expected effect and did not cause much damage to Xiao Yi.
This is the power of the magic shield. If Xiao Yi wasn't concerned about the warrior's fast attack frequency and the fear that taking medicine would not be able to make up for the speed of blood loss, he would have a greater chance of winning even if they fought face to face.
This unsuspecting battle lasted for more than 40 minutes. Although the starling had no hope of winning, he fought to the end. However, he finally used up all the potions in his body and fell down with an unwilling look.
Xiao Yi advanced to the semi-finals amid the cheers of the audience. No wonder the audience was so excited. The female players were proud. Who says women are inferior to men? As for the men, of course they were even more happy to see that they had another chance to appreciate the beauties!
The last match, Lawless versus Honest!
I'm not interested in watching any further. It's true that Wenxin is a blood cow, but there's such a huge level difference between them. Wufawutian's blood and defense are not necessarily less than Wenxin's, and there's no comparison between the two sides in attack. Take weapons for example, "Ripping Wind" is just a more outstanding dark gold equipment. How can it compare to the Holy Spirit equipment "Ghost Axe"?
I would be even more unhappy if I saw my brother's defeat with my own eyes, so I might as well take this opportunity to talk to the retired starling.
He looked at the starling, who didn't seem to be affected by the defeat. He still laughed heartily and said, "Haha, brother, it's you? I never thought that a little knight I met by chance would be the best player in Fantasy! I'm looking at the south side of the table. Here are the coordinates. Come quickly. I'm looking for you too!"
I squeezed through the crowd and found Myna. He was surrounded by a large group of people who were asking him questions. It seemed that those people were his friends.
I didn't use my gaze, but just judged based on the appearance of those people's equipment. Haha, they are all masters, and their levels are all around 35!
When the starling saw me, he happily came over and took my hand and said, "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Bloody Sky, the top fantasy master at level 42. He was the one who sold me the axe that you all envied so much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to charge so fast."
Mynah bird then said to me: "They are all my brothers. We named them according to their order of birth. This one is the first brother, this one is the second brother... and she is the ninth sister."
I clasped my fists and bowed, saying, "Hello everyone, you really flatter me. All of the finalists today are experts. I'm not sure if I can win the championship!"
After saying some polite words, Big Brother said to me, "Brother, I originally planned to form a gang when I entered the game. I originally wanted to ask you to join, but I didn't expect that you would be the first to form the Thunder Alliance. I am trying to poach people again, but I can't poach you, the leader, right? But if you think highly of me, our gangs can form an alliance in the future. What do you think?"
Hey, this mynah brother looks rough on the outside but is actually delicate on the inside. Just by virtue of his wealth, he exchanged 1 million gold coins as soon as he entered the game. In reality, he must be either a successful person or a kid from a wealthy family. With such financial support, and the fact that he has so many expert brothers, it is not difficult for him to form a gang and grow it in Fantasy. However, he prepared for a rainy day and invited me to form an alliance in advance, so as to bring in an external aid for the future gang. This kind of shrewdness is not comparable to that of an ordinary guy.
Moreover, Xiao Yi was unwilling to sign an alliance with me immediately. I could guess that she felt that my Jinglei Alliance, as the first gang in Fantasy, was indeed well-known, but it was also like the saying goes, it was the first to stick out, and if things went wrong, it would become the target of joint attacks by all major forces in the future; however, Myna had no scruples, and I could guess that his power must be very strong, so strong that he would not care about the enemies I might provoke in the future.
Besides, Bage is a good person, so why not have an ally like him? He immediately agreed with Bage that they would form an alliance as soon as his gang was established.
After finishing the discussion, the starling said, "I promised you a good knight's equipment... Looking at your current equipment, I am really ashamed. I really don't have anything to show you. But there is a little thing that should be suitable for you. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Myna took out a small round shield. Knights above level 40 can be equipped with shields, and the level 42 skill "Iron Wall" can only be used with a shield in hand. However, my current weapon, Tiger Soul, is a two-handed long weapon. If equipped with a shield, controlling Tiger Soul with one hand will weaken the attack power and reduce the hit rate. Therefore, I did not bring a shield to this competition.
However, this small round shield of Myna is not bad. It is a gold equipment. Although the defense is only 20-40, one of the additional attributes is "Iron Wall Skill +1". Every time the Iron Wall skill is upgraded to a higher level, the physical defense and magic defense can be increased by 10% each. This effect is enough to offset the decrease in attack power and hit rate. Moreover, with this equipment, I can have more tactical options. When it is really necessary, can't I take off the shield and fully unleash the power of Tiger Soul?
With Starling's personality, there was no need for me to refuse, as that would only make me look petty. After thanking Starling, I took the round shield and bowed to everyone to say goodbye, because the system prompted that the first round of the finals had ended. As expected, Lawless won, and the top four had all been decided, and they would soon enter the next round.
Here is the current ranking:
1. Bloody Sky Level 42
2. Lawless, Xiao Yi level 40
4. Van Fels Level 39
Then there were thirty or forty level 38s and several hundred level 37s, and the top ranked ones at level 37s made it into the rankings.
There were over 10,000 players at level 36, and countless players at level 35. However, in terms of proportion, they were also masters among the 200 million players. If the Imperial Mausoleum mission hadn't delayed them, Ji Mo and the others should have been able to reach level 36.
