On the third day of the field-level group stage, in the space crack, I was high-spirited and swaggering, walking like a duck buttocks.

"Fanfan seems to be in a good mood." Dia looked at my villain's triumphant face and pursed her lips in happiness.

"It's more than good, it's simply very good." I looked at Tia with the eyes of a pioneer, almost standing on a high place and proclaiming that I was the mentor of souls.

"How's it going over there?"

"A competition? The second game was a tough opponent, and it took a lot of effort to win."

"Really? Even if you are a seeded player, you can't underestimate your opponent. The gap in strength between everyone is not that big. If you are not careful, your boat will capsize in the gutter." I nodded, as if it was serious.

"Based on the current situation, isn't it the monkey like you who is most likely to capsize in the gutter?" Ben Zina couldn't help but complain about me again.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." I turned my head away, letting the vicious-tongued doll princess gnash her teeth in hatred. I can't be a movie star, so I can only be a dead duck king. Anyway, I won't admit it to death. Once I touch this

The topic is just pretending to be stupid, what do you do to me?

"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing and let me take a look... Well, the next opponent is a barbarian. He looks very strong. Are you really so confident?"

"Ahem, I don't understand why your opponent is a barbarian. Speaking of Tia, who will be your next opponent?" I almost fell for it again, it's so scary. I think Tia is the most terrifying among the people here.

He always used a nonchalant tone to make me reveal myself without thinking, and the feeling of hanging on the southeast branch was not good at all. I will not be fooled again.

"It's also a difficult opponent. I have to work harder." The little girl spat out her sweet tongue and hid behind Ben Zina, fearing my retaliation. Apparently she had noticed that I was wary of her.

"Then let's push each other...ahem, then come on, I will be here to watch every bit of your efforts." I almost exposed myself, it was so dangerous, I am such a lax person.

.

"Hey, hey, I'm looking forward to what will happen after entering the quarterfinals."

"Little girl, don't think too far ahead. Let's pass this level first and then talk about it." I made a funny gesture of flicking my forehead.

"Don't worry, you won't lose. If you can't win, just use this staff." The little girl raised the staff of confession, full of confidence.

"Don't use it, don't use it even if you lose!"

Artifacts are unstoppable killers at the domain level. Not to mention the ice and fire twin dragons that already have domain-level strength, the destructive power is already off the charts with just the +15 lightning skill, plus the +7 of the bug amulet.

Skill bonuses, as well as other skill level bonuses, will cause any lightning arc to defeat the strong ones in the field.

I estimate that if this girl piles up equipment that adds lightning skills all over her body and holds the Rod of Penance, it is very likely that the entire lightning skill system has reached level 30. I will not explain more about what this concept is.

"Hey, hey, you lied to Fanfan, so you won't expose your identity." After I complained, the little girl showed a bright smile to me.

"You're such a good girl, you actually dare to tease me. Don't run away if you dare."

"I don't want it. Isn't Fanfan always calling people girl after girl? I've obviously said you're not allowed to call me that way anymore. I'm no longer a girl. I've matured both physically and mentally."

"Never mind the body..." As he said this, he couldn't help but recall Diya's plump and exquisite body, and swallowed his saliva: "In terms of spirit, when you teased me like that just now, you are not mentally mature enough.

evidence."

"I'm not the only one teasing Fanfan. Could it be that everyone is immature?"

"That's right, that's right, take Linya Xiaonizi for example, a person who used to be quite mature has become more and more immature recently."

"Where's Nana?"

"You haven't matured at all, okay? That mouth will do evil to me whenever it gets the chance. Even a three-year-old child is more sensible than her."

As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, blood started to gush from my forehead. Benzina gracefully retracted her rapier and made a stabbing motion again.

"I'm really sorry for my immaturity. Since you said that, just pay the price for my immaturity."

"Wait, why do I have to pay the price for your immaturity?!" I asked loudly while trying to avoid Ben Zina's sword, which was stabbing her forehead. This is not reasonable at all, and it is not scientific at all.

, there is no basis, okay, I am not your person, why, why!

"Because I'm immature and I can't pay the price, so I have to find someone to do it for me."

"It seems like you don't want to talk to people properly anymore."

"Because I'm immature, just turn a blind eye."

"If you keep doing this, I will really get angry."

"Because I'm immature, please forgive me. Isn't there a saying that children's words are unbridled?"

"You don't call this childish talk, you call it murder. That's enough. If I don't give you some color, you think I'm easy to bully. You're a bastard who will take advantage of me with bare hands!"

Kneel down on one knee and slam your palms above your head like swatting flies. Hum, I caught you.

Ben Zina's rapier was firmly held in the palm of my hand.

I:"……"

Ben Zina: "..."

Ben Zina: I just gave you a gentle push!

Me: hiss~

The thin sword clamped in the palm of my hand was moved forward, and my forehead was hit again. After this practice, I understood a truth.

It can't stab the sword with bare hands!!!

It was almost noon, and the top 32 matches were over. It was much later than expected. The reason for this, I think, was definitely not because some mysterious man in a cloak damaged one of the arenas, causing the arena to remain inactive.

It was in a state of repair until it was reactivated this morning. This pot cannot be carried by a poor handsome man who can't hide his handsome back even if he wears an outdated cloak!

Next up was the top 16, and they started right away without having to take a breath. Tia's game was still ahead of mine. The opponent she said was difficult to deal with was an assassin. In theory, mages do have some disadvantages against assassins. However,

As a clan of mages, the Horadric clan has been studying magic for thousands of years, and they have already developed thousands of ways to control their occupations. Therefore, I did not see how difficult it was for Dia to solve the opponent. Even before

Use all your strength and it will be easier than the last game.

This is probably something called foundation. The Horadric clan can survive to this day only because of a group of research madmen.

On the other hand, I... ahem, I am the opponent of the mysterious cloaked man. Just when I thought I might not get my turn today, I finally made it to the last round.

So, everyone was lucky enough to see an inspirational story about a Druid who specializes in the elements. He held a sword at close quarters and fought with barbarians for 30,000 rounds and finally won. This story tells us that as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle...

...that’s weird.

After scaring everyone's eyes out again, the mysterious cloaked man quickly ran away, leaving the barbarian with a shattered outlook on life and deep doubts about his own skills, his own strength, and his own life.

I hope he can get over the blow. Amen.

"You really defeated the barbarians with melee combat." Back in the space rift, everyone expressed shock and amazement at my small universe explosion, as if they had seen Masked Superman defeat Godzilla.

"Of course...cough cough cough. I don't understand what you are talking about at all." I burst into tears because I got carried away and exposed myself again.

"It's really endless, tell us quickly...well, how the mysterious cloaked man won, I still haven't figured it out yet."

"I've told you a long time ago that the man in the mysterious cloak is very strong in melee combat, super strong."

"Eh? Is this the only unreliable reason?"

"What does it mean to be unreliable? If you can do it, you can do it!"

"Humph, let me ask someone else's head office. I must make you... reveal the ugly mask of the mysterious cloaked man." The evil dragon Lena was very curious, and when she saw that she couldn't get anything out of me, she turned around.

I asked other people, but after a while they ran back triumphantly.

"I know. It's not because a certain guy was tortured by the barbarians on the top of Arreat for three months. Let me just say that in the battle just now, he was so familiar with the barbarian's tricks that he seemed to be familiar with them.

He is also a savage."

I immediately glared at the little fox, and she turned her gaze away. The fox's tail swept quickly, with a guilty look on her face.

Not many people knew about this matter. Apart from Akara and the others, this little fox knew best. Who else could be there besides her.

As a result, word spread, and they found out that I...no, after they found out that the mysterious cloaked man was tortured and became familiar with the barbarian's routines, these unscrupulous guys started to complain madly again. I can't afford to offend them, so why don't they hide away?

On the afternoon of the next day, the winner group and the loser group of the top 16 were all decided. The last and most critical draw leading to the top four spots finally began. There were eight people in the winner group and eight people in the loser group.

, a total of sixteen people stood in front of the stage, accepting the final judgment. Because the number of people was just a tiny bit, the draw ended quickly. Holding the ball tightly in his hand, the mysterious cloaked man looked around, trying to peek into other people's faces.

Number, I just don’t dare to look at myself.

"Fan...ahem, Yafan, what's your number?" Tia, who was also dressed in a black cloak and concealed herself from others, walked up and asked curiously.

"You speak first."

"No. 16, look." The little girl lit up the ball in her hand nonchalantly.

"I am...I am..." He opened his fingers bit by bit until he saw the number clearly, and the mysterious cloaked man let out a long breath.

"I am number one, hahahaha. It seems that we can only compete in the hell world again. What a pity, Fanti."

"Are you sorry?" The little girl showed a subtle look: "It seems...not very regretful."

"What's the meaning."

"Look, the rules of battle have changed."

Following what Tia pointed out, on the newly released battle list, the mysterious cloaked man vs. the mysterious cloaked woman was ranked first!... (To be continued.)
