Chapter 237 Cat Dad Is Surprised

Chapter 237 – Cat Dad is Surprised

After Xiaomao's match was over, the rest of the tournament became boring to watch as no guild bothered fighting anymore. Only a few guilds with sponsors, such as Valkyrie, continued to crush their opponents.

Because of the tedious long matches with no actions, Pan Mei decided to push the Immortal Tournament forward and only live-stream the fight between the top dogs. Moreover, he adjusted the gambling house rates and allowed viewers to make real-time bets.

The spectators quickly shifted their attention to the Immortal Tournament when they heard that only one player participated while the rest were NPCs. They wanted to see the strongest player in this game.

As for the guild war tournament live stream, it was canceled. From now on, the company only would record the matches and post highlight videos on their social media accounts.

Because of these changes, the tournament schedule was quickened.

.

DING

<Please prepare for your next match. You have 10 seconds to get ready!>

Xiaomao glared at the notification message with bloodshot eyes. He was about to escort Cookie to his dungeon and take a short break, but this message showed up.

"My skill cooldown hasn't reset yet, munya! What the hell?! What about the next round's map theme voting?!"

Lucky and the mermen also received the same notification message. They frowned as their previous match had just ended an hour ago, but they were forced to fight again.

Before everybody and the mermen could react, everybody in the lobby was teleported to a new battlefield.

This time, instead of being sent to the courtyard of their castle, they were deployed on a meadow battlefield. Ten kilometers behind them was their castle, but 500 meters in front of them were the confused players from their opponent's guild.

RUMBLE

Suddenly, a circular energy wall appeared and surrounded all players from both guilds. It blocked the path to their castles, and it continued shrinking.

DING

<Sixth Round, MUNYA Guild from World Three VS Chicken Dinner Guild from World One!>

<If any player steps out of the boundary, they will be instantly killed.>

<There is no resource in this round. Only the guild with at least one remaining player on the battlefield can move on to the next round.>

<BATTLE!>

Xiaomao reacted fast. While standing on the ground, he chanted.

"MU-NYA-NYA!"

"SHIT! INCOMING!"

The players from the opponent guild were surprised, but they also reacted to the abrupt changes. They brought out their weapons and pointed at Xiaomao and his subordinates.

Strangely, this guild only recruited players that used modern guns as members. Only 300 of them participated. Unfortunately, the massive fireball landed at the center of their group before they could start firing.

BOOM

200 players fell in one strike. Among them, their guild leader accidentally got caught up in a blast and died.

DING

<Congratulations. MUNYA Guild has moved on to the next round!>

Xiaomao took a deep breath and sighed in relief. Everything happened so fast that he almost had a heart attack.

Guild Wars might resurrect all players after a match without a penalty. However, he didn't believe that Pangu and Pan Mei would resurrect him and his people if one of them accidentally died in this event world.

WHOOSH

The team returned in one piece. The mermen, Lucky, Shepherd, and the boys dryly laughed and looked at each other in confusion.

DING

It only took three seconds for the next system notification message to arrive. It gave them another piece of bad news.

<Please prepare for your next match. You have 10 seconds to get ready!>

"!!!"

Xiaomao widened his eyes. He immediately rushed to the guild's main gate, planning to push it open and check the tournament schedule.

Fortunately, a screen appeared in front of the bronze gates, showing the changed format of the tournament.

Before the changes, Xiaomao could see all names and the tournament brackets. His guild had to fight its way through until the final, where MUNYA Guild might have to face Valkyrie Guild.

However, after the changes, the brackets were gone. The screen showed the number of remaining guilds, which were in the middle of fighting in the previous round. It also showed the number of qualified guilds that defeated their opponents already and were on standby for the next match.

Xiaomao fought Vermilion in the fifth round, and Chicken Dinner in the sixth round. In the seventh round, there should be about 256 guilds left, but 106 guilds were still in the battle of the sixth round and 800 were still in the fifth round. Only two guilds were qualified to be in the seventh round.

And now, the remaining guilds got auto-matched.

Xiaomao's right eyebrow twitched. He had a bad feeling about this. With these changes, Xiaomao might end up fighting Valkyrie before the final.

The cat turned around and shouted at his subordinates, including Cookie, who was not an official member of his guild.

"GET READY, MUNYA! WE MIGHT HAVE TO FIGHT NON-STOP WITH STRONG GUILDS UNTIL THE CHAMPIONSHIP!"

Shepherd and the others gulped. Some mermen suddenly shivered as they needed to pee again. As for the fishman that made a lot of mess the last time, he scoffed and brought out an empty jar. Then, he sat on it.

"A warning to that shitbreak! Once you're done, don't smear it on your allies!"

The merman with a stomach issue saluted while sitting. As for his colleagues, they stared at the guy with fish eyes.

BOB! (I'll throw this jar on our enemies. No worry!)

BOB-BOB! (Don't wipe your ass on me ever again!)

BOB! (That was an emergency. My bad!)

Despite the hectic schedule, the mermen were in high spirits. They carried their harpoons, spears, and cold weaponry in their hands, ready for combat.

WHOOSH

Once again, they were teleported to another meadow battlefield.

Xiaomao got on his flying sword. Without waiting for the signal, he piloted the sword to rush his enemies 500 meters away in front of him.

As if the opponent team was also ready, they turned toward Xiaomao and launched their skills at Xiaomao!

Without looking at his enemies' levels and faces, Xiaomao bellowed.

"MU-NYA-NYA!"

Like an attack helicopter, he launched five fireballs as if they were missiles at the people in front of him.

At the same time, the projectiles and energy beams from the opponent guild hit him.

11,394 PIERCING DAMAGE!

10,677 PIERCING DAMAGE!

12,237 PIERCING DAMAGE!

12,522 PIERCING DAMAGE!

11,952 PIERCING DAMAGE!

Large numbers appeared above Xiaomao's head. He furrowed his brows as he received warning messages from the game system.

The damages were too high for regular players! It went through Xiaomao's monstrous defense, decreasing his HP bar by 10%.

BOOM

BOOM

The fireball missiles hit the enemy team as well, dealing 7 digits of damage as usual. However, not all of them died after the direct hit.

Xiaomao clicked his tongue. He didn't bother looking or waiting for feedback as he expected the worst-case scenario. No matter who they were, he would crush them before they could form their ranks and battle plan!

"LIGHTNING NOVA! LET IT GO! BLADE HURRICANE!"

Xiaomao dove into the center of the mysterious fighters from another guild. An electric shockwave burst and stunned the fighters in heavy knight armor. At the same time, corruption snow field appeared on their feet, and the black mist enveloped them. A tornado of wind blade descended from the sky and cut every victim nearby to pieces.

Countless numbers appeared on the field, followed by a hundred notification messages of confirmed kills.

However, they were not normal notification messages.

DING

<You have slain Badrach, the Einherjar, Level 651!>

<You have leveled up!>

<You have slain Grey, the Einherjar, Level 648!>

<You have leveled up!>

<You have slain Circe, the Einherjar, Level 697!>

<You have leveled up!>

<You have slain…>

Instead of being overjoyed after getting 100 free levels from the fight, Xiaomao's face was ashen. The notification just informed him that the worst-case scenario had become true.

There was only one place with Einherjar Class, and those people always accompanied their master.

ASGARD!

WHOOSH

A bright silhouette of a woman with wings shuttled through the black mist and headed straight for Xiaomao. She swung her claymore, planning to cleave the cat in two!

Xiaomao's reflex kicked in. His tentacles grabbed the hilt of the flame sword and parried the strike.

CLANK

They crossed blades. Then, Xiaomao finally got to see the person he was fighting with.

Saintess Joan, the 3rd Valkyrie of Freya, Level 999 (????)

Her level was displayed in red, but her name was purple. It indicated one thing.

She was definitely stronger than level 999, but her strength was suppressed so that she could join this tournament!

This woman was an immortal in disguise!

"We meet again, pussy cat. I see that you've been practicing Taotie's art."

"Yeah, fancy seeing you here in this round, Valkyrie."

"I wish I could make you my Einherjar, but my lady hates Cathulhus and Catopuses. Sorry to inform you, but I have to kill you and destroy your soul."

"How about I kill you instead, munya!"

"HAHAHAHA! That's impossible for you. A mortal can never defeat a demi-god!"

CLANK

Joan knocked Xiaomao away with a swing, sending him flying to the sky.

Xiaomao backflipped and pointed his sword at her.

Did You Swear?

,m BZZ

A small streak of electricity hit Joan's face, but she didn't flinch. As if she expected Xiaomao's next skill, she brought out a lightning rod and planted it on the ground.

"Too bad for you, but your meager tribulation lightning won't work on demi-gods like me!"

Joan ignored the dark clouds in the sky and turned to her subordinates in the black mist. She pointed at the group of mermen at a distance away.

"Einherjars! Vanquish those monsters! FOR VALHALLA!"

.

.

Shepherd narrowed his eyes when Xiaomao rushed out on his own. He saw the name of their opponent's guild and their levels.

WHOOM

He brought out a water orb, which he had acquired after he parted ways with the fairy queen and Magdalene. A water spirit queen manifested from the water orb and embraced Shepherd from behind.

"You finally need my help, my dear?"

Shepherd didn't speak. He glanced at the woman, then he looked in front of him.

"I can't do much in this world because of Pangu's laws, but if I suppress my strength to the peak of the mortal realm, I can do something."

The water spirit queen shapeshifted into a humanoid slime maiden. She strolled forward and stood in front of the mermen, who already formed ranks and prepared for battle.

The mermen gazed at the woman in respect. Meanwhile, the guy with a bad stomach widened his eyes and forgot to take a dump.

Qidia, the Water Spirit Queen, Level 999 (????)

The spirit queen raised her arm and swung it down. The ground in front of her shook and collapsed, followed by a surge of a tidal wave from the underground.

Like a reverse waterfall, the 300-tall, one-kilometer wide, and five kilometers long geyser wall shot out from the ground, separating the battlefield. Instantly, the meadow battlefield turned into the river map.

However, the geyser and the new river were under Qidia's control. She smirked and vanished into the water, and the hot spring was calm.

By the time the preparation was done, the Einherjars already charged toward them, running out of the black mist and the poison snow, reaching the river bank.

BOB!!

The mermen also charged, diving into the newly created river. Shepherd also followed after them, but he didn't jump into the water.

He ran on the river!

While he was following the mermen's charge, he brought out a new weapon from his inventory.

It was a shepherd staff, which was commonly used to herd sheep. However, Shepherd brought it out and pointed at the incoming warriors. Then, he cast a spell.

A 100-meter diameter magic circle appeared.
