As the countdown ended, the match began.
Thirteen Ji immediately pounced forward, reaching out his hand to grab ahold of Darknorth Fisher.
Darknorth Fisher knew that he wasn't Thirteen Ji's match. Thus, upon seeing Thirteen Ji pounce at him, he faintly smiled and immediately activated [Stealth].
Upon seeing this, Thirteen Ji immediately halted his charge, heightening his senses to locate Darknorth Fisher's position.
After mingling with Wang Yu for so long, Darknorth Fisher knew full well how these players that knew martial arts were able to locate their enemy's position.
Upon seeing what Thirteen Ji was attempting to do, Darknorth Fisher hurriedly turned his body away, preventing himself from focusing on Thirteen Ji's body.
However, Thirteen Ji wasn't a fool either. He promptly took out a long staff and started randomly waving it about on the stage, in an attempt to flush out Darknorth Fisher's position.
As the arena stage was very confined, soon after, Thirteen Ji's staff had already arrived near Darknorth Fisher's location.
Just when Darknorth Fisher was about to get hit by it, he abruptly tilted his head downwards to face the floor.
"Is he trying to commit suicide?"
The audience was unable to comprehend what Darknorth Fisher was trying to do.
At this moment, a "Puff" sound could be heard, akin to the sound that was made when a small rock was thrown into a pool of water, as Darknorth Fisher's body actually drilled into the ground.
"Oh, sh*t!"
Upon seeing Darknorth Fisher's body entering into the ground, everyone couldn't help but let out a cry of shock. Even the professional experts had their attention focused on this scene.
"This… isn't this [Earth Elemental Technique]? To think that Quan Zhen Sect had such a player in their midst, seems like we have to be wary of them."
Clearly, Wang Yu's martial arts ability wasn't as shocking to the professional experts as a rare skill like this.
As the only player in Quan Zhen Sect that could fly in the air and escape beneath the earth, Darknorth Fisher was an expert when it came to evading the enemy. In terms of escaping, even Wang Yu had to take his hat off to Darknorth Fisher.
If the enemy used [Stealth], Thirteen Ji was still able to sense the enemy's position based on the killing intent directed towards himself. Even if he was unable to do so, he could randomly swing his staff to flush out the position of the enemy.
However, in the face of this ability which no one had expected Darknorth Fisher to possess, Thirteen Ji naturally did not have any countermeasures in place.
Just like that, Darknorth Fisher avoided clashing with Thirteen Ji and instead played a game of hide-and-seek with him for the full 30 minutes duration of the match.
The moment the thirty minutes mark was reached, both players were sent off the stage with 0 points each…
The moment he was sent off the stage, the hugely built brute, Thirteen Ji, cupped his face with his hands and cried miserably. Nian Liuyun and the rest could sympathise with him and were in tears as well.
At this moment, nearly half of the Team Pugilists Don't Cry were in tears.
Quan Zhen Sect that bunch of b*starads were really too dirty. Who would have thought that an Assassin, which was supposedly the god in PK, would actually be used to drag out time in a 1v1 battle.
In the fifth match, Fearless was up.
When the opponent realised that Fearless was up in the next match, they were all extremely eager to go on stage to give him a good lesson and beat him to a pulp. Everyone knew that Fearless was the brain of Quan Zhen Sect, thus the ploys that were used in the previous matches originated from him. Even if they were unable to win this competition, at the very least, they would be able to vent their pent up frustrations.
Fearless naturally wouldn't give the opponent this opportunity. The moment the match started… just when the opponent was dashing towards him, Fearless casually raised his hand and surrendered…
"…"
The opponent immediately experienced a mental breakdown as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The audience descended into complete silence.
The first round of the competition, Team A Murder of Crows emerged victorious with a score of 3:1. After this entire farce had concluded, the audience had a new understanding towards how shameless the people from Quan Zhen Sect could be.
Apart from the third match, the other matches couldn't even be considered actual fights. At this moment, everyone recalled Fearless' statement back then, "Even if you changed the rules, we can still be equally shameless."
Even the gaming company that was watching the live broadcast of the match sighed and said, "It's a pity that these guys did not join our company's planning department…"
At the same time, examples of messages that were being sent within the game that were related to Quan Zhen Sect were, "Don't be a Quan Zhen Sect…" or "What's the difference between you people and Quan Zhen Sect…".
Quan Zhen Sect's current notoriety can be considered to have fulfilled Fearless' wish —- even if they were to become sh*t, they had to be the smelliest one of them all.
"Do you think that if we were to leave now, would we be beaten up by the audience…"
In the restroom, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were feeling a little fearful about their current predicament…
In the past in the games, even if they were to be chased down by people, they would at most die once and be reincarnated. However, this was reality. If they were to really be mobbed by the crowd, they would not be able to make it out alive.
"It doesn't include me." Wang Yu proudly said, "I did not play dirty in the battle just now."
"It doesn't include me either! I didn't even participate in any battles." Evil Rampage gleefully said as well.
Fearless shameless joined in and said, "It definitely doesn't include me either. I admitted defeat there and then. Surely they do not consider surrendering as playing dirty."
"Bullsh*t!" Ming Du pointed at Fearless and shouted, "You were the one that came up with these shameless ideas, you are the true perpetrator! Don't even think about shirking off your responsibilities! Hurry up and think of a plan to get us out of this predicament."
"Wu…" Fearless entered into deep thought for a moment, before saying, "I do have an idea… why not we choose a representative to go and receive the beating on all of our behalfs."
"That makes sense!" Everyone agreed spontaneously, "That representative must be extremely detestable and hateful, only that way would allow everyone to vent their anger."
Speaking up till this point, everyone's gaze fell upon Ming Du.
"Alright alright! Stop the nonsense!" Ming Du changed the topic, before saying seriously, "How shall we fight the next few upcoming battles? Surely we can't use the same tactics anymore."
"Hehe!" Fearless cheekily laughed and said, "There isn't any strategy for the next round, just a sentence for all of you. If you guys think that you can defeat the opponent, then fight him. If you think you can't defeat him, then make a run for it. Now that we have the upper hand, we can only try to amass as many points as we can in the second round and follow heaven's will."
"What?""Follow heaven's will? What do you mean?" everyone asked, confused.
Fearless explained, "If Wang Yu is fortunately chosen to be sent on stage, we would be able to secure five points. However, if Wang Yu doesn't get selected up on stage in all of the subsequent battles, we may not even get a point at all, we may even lose our points in this round. Thus, we have to try our best to hold our ground until the third round of team battles!"
"Team battle…" Everyone thought about it and said, "Are we able to win in the team battle?"
In terms of the players' standards, Quan Zhen Sect lost by a huge margin when compared to Purity and her team.
After all, the only one that could face them 1 vs 1 was Wang Yu… the team battle, however, wasn't a one-man show.
In the previous few matches, everyone was still able to play dirty to squirm their way through the matches. In the final team battle, however, they definitely could not afford to do so.
Thus from the very start, everyone's mindset was to get as many points as they can in the first two rounds and in the final team battle round, they would play hide and seek with the opponent to drag on the time for as long as possible. That way, they would still be able to win overall.
Who would have thought that Fearless would bank on their chances in the final round?
Fearless smiled and said, "As they only have one job class in their entire team, I am able to come up with a strategy to deal with them. However, this plan of mine depends on an extremely crucial factor!"
"What crucial factor?"
"The map!" Fearless coolly said.
