Xiao Yulv said, “I think Mr. Mu knows more about this field than I do. From what I know, Mr. Mu has reached the Master-Tier in the Ladder Ranking System of StarCraft and thus has unique understanding of strategies and tactics. Besides, he has just reached the supreme-tier in Dungeon Fighter Online yesterday.”

Mr. Mu smiled in understanding and said, “This… I'm sure that everyone knows the big contribution that Gongzi Xiao made with his game guides.”

As usual, they first complimented each other very well.

-Inside the Heaven-Hiding Palace-

“What are these two people doing here?! They sound quite powerful?” These outlanders clearly knew nothing about the topic that these two men were discussing except the words ‘master' and ‘supreme'.

“I know that Mr. Mu had fought with many contestants, so I think your opinion is valuable,” Xiao Yulv said, “I want to ask who you think is stronger when you were fighting your way to the supreme-tier. Who do you think is stronger or who do you think has the potential to be the champion?”

“From what I know, this ‘Crazy Butcher' and ‘Zhu Yanxiao' are the weakest in Group A. Not for any particular reason; when I encountered them while I fought my way up, that was how I felt.”

“Only these two?” Xiao Yulv asked, “How about Young Master Song Qingfeng? He's in this group too.”

“Young Master Song might have more compet.i.tion experience than the others,” Mu Donglai said calmly.

“Indeed. Gongzi Song has taken quite a few great rankings in previous compet.i.tions.”

“Oh.” Mu Donglai looked at the time and saw that the compet.i.tion was about to begin. “I'll tell you this. The most powerful contestant in the compet.i.tion, on the warrior side, is Old Duke Nalan who surpa.s.ses the others in both swordsmans.h.i.+p and Sword Dao. Among the Mages, Elder Xuanyuan Changqing of the Xuanyuan Family is good. Also, w.a.n.g Xie is a young genius.”

“How about Vice Academy Master Zhang of the Heavenly Academy and Ms. Xue Bi? They are both powerful masters, right?”

“I'm sure that the champion will be one of them.” Mu Donglai nodded and said, “If Senior Gu Tingyun didn't choose to enter StarCraft, he would be a powerful candidate in the Dungeon Fighter Online compet.i.tion as well.”

Xiao Yulv said, “Now, everyone, please remember the five people who Mr. Mu just mentioned; the champion will be one of them.”

“Oh! One more.” Mr. Mu patted his hand on his forehead when a thought struck him, and he said, “Nalan Mingxue! This girl is quite powerful.”

“Right. She won the champions.h.i.+p t.i.tle for several compet.i.tions. Then, we have six prime candidates in the compet.i.tion.”

Mr. Fang was also watching the livestream while drinking c.o.ke. When he saw this scene, he spewed out his c.o.ke. “Pu!”

“Are these six people the most powerful ones among them?” The outlanders memorized these six names and ironed them into their memory.

“Now, the compet.i.tion will officially begin!” Xiao Yulv glanced at the time and announced, “Now, let's turn the camera to the contestants.

“The first match is between Bellatrix Liu Ningyun of the Nanhua Faction in the Morning Star Sea Realm versus the young desperado genius of Half City, the King of Rangers!”

– Meanwhile, in the audience stand in Qzone –

Fairy Qing Yun continued to hum the song, “The witch lifted her wand and left a frost flower on the windowsill…”

In her arms was a big bag of potato chips that Mr. Fang gave to her. Before she could eat, her little disciple Zhuge Yu grabbed a big handful from the bag.

“Crunch! Crunch!” Zhuge Yu ate more than half of the chips that she grabbed in a few seconds.

“Yu'er!” Fairy Qing Yun glared at Zhuge Yu with her beautiful eyes and said, “What did I tell you before we came out? You must wash your hands before eating! And you must chew and eat slowly!

“One more thing; don't eat chips in secret without my permission! Do you remember?”

Sitting near them, Mr. Fang's face twitched as he thought, I think she's really your daughter…

It was the outlanders' first time watching an E-Sports compet.i.tion.

Jessica ate her melon, and Carl poured himself another cup of wine.

“The six powerful people that those two mentioned are not in the first match, right?” Carl sipped his wine and said, “Although these natives' power goes beyond our imagination, some of them are not as strong as the others.”

While taking a bite from her melon, Jessica said, “This girl looks no older than us. It seems that they are letting the ordinary masters in the younger generation battle first, and the more powerful ones will come out later.”

Kevin said, “Yeah. If my memory serves me right, Jessica, you are one of the best in your family, right?”

“She isn't called the Shadow Spirit for nothing.” Carl lifted his cup and chuckled.

“I wonder if I can defeat this woman.” Jessica licked her red lips, looking very interested.

She had wanted to beat all the people in this world senseless. But now, she had lowered her expectations and began to compare herself with the geniuses in the younger generation.

Although the contestants all looked powerful, they represented more than half of the most powerful masters in this world.

The outlanders were sent here with a mission. Although they had been stunned by the opening cinematics, they must do their due diligence and investigate, and they would never do nothing and just go back.

At least, they must investigate their enemies' strength first.

To do the investigation, watching the compet.i.tion was the first step.

These outlanders could only watch from the distance, but they were not stupid. If the contestants had poor combat techniques and battle experience and had disguised their poor performance with grand and dazzling explosive effects, they would have seen through it.

However, from the previous opening cinematics, they could see that every move, technique, and spiritual spell that these people used followed certain laws of nature, and they could roughly understand them.

They couldn't fake these techniques.

Outsiders only watched for fun, but the experts could see the differences. Since these outlanders were true masters, they could see the essence and great power of these techniques.

In fact, after learning their awakening skills, many cultivators of the Spiritual State didn't know how horrifying these skills were since they didn't have anything to compare them with.

Perhaps only the few ancient families that had studied the ethereal celestial relics knew something about the true power of these skills.

However, these outlanders had the most direct experience. They could compare these skills with their own and understand which was stronger and by how much.

“This contestant is only a child who is about 12 years old.” Carl shook his head and said, “I think their younger generation is still no match for ours.”

The moment he said it, the scene before them suddenly changed. Liu Ningyun who was holding a spear suddenly emitted golden light like an imposing G.o.dly statue!

As if she were defying gravity, her whole body floated up while horrifying magic power surrounded her and condensed into armor and a huge battle spear. While emitting golden light, she looked like a G.o.ddess!

A huge streak of magic power exploded, turning everything around her to dust!

“My goodness! Liu Ningyun successfully used the skill, Teana Transformation! The King of Rangers is in danger!” The two casters were shouting on top of their lungs.

“Teana Transformation?”

“Aren't they just two young people?!” Seeing the horrifying presence sweeping across the s.p.a.ce, and the golden blade chopping everything before it into two halves, Carl subconsciously dropped his wine cup.

“I spilled my wine again! I spilled it again!” His pants were wet.

“My melon!” With an exclamation, Jessica dropped it again.
