It’s the ring registration office again.

But this time, there were two people following Xia Yao.

The players passing by the arena didn't recognize the two people behind her, but they knew her. When they saw her real body appear again, they subconsciously felt that another player was going to be bullied by her, and immediately reported the news to the world.

[The number one player is back! Come and enjoy the show, everyone!]

[What? I just bullied the vice president this morning, who else is this afternoon?]

[Selling sunflower seeds, peanuts, cola and Sprite in the front row]

Give me a Coke!

[Real-time report, the boss doesn't seem to be here to bully the weaklings? I saw the NPC gave her a bench. What's that? Why did she sit down?]

[Oh my god, I'm so anxious. What's going on? Is there anyone who can explain it to me?]

The players had different opinions and for a moment they couldn't understand why Xia Yao brought her two little followers to the arena.

The next second, the entire server announced:

[Sword and Rose] Arena competition recruiting, interested parties please come directly, time limit 2 hours, no waiting after the time limit]

World players:?

What the hell? A martial arts competition to recruit people?

It would cost a lot of gold coins to ask the system to send an announcement to the entire server, but is Xia Yao someone who is short of these hundred coins now?

After paying 100 gold, Xia Yao sat on the bench and waited for the players to come.

He patted the empty seat next to him, signaling Zhang Bupa and Huang Cheng, "Sit down, or you won't be able to rest later."

The two of them looked at each other, then slowly sat down on the bench.

Before long, the arena was once again crowded with people. Players stretched their necks and looked around curiously, wanting to see who would be the first to try it out.

"She's number one on the list, so the requirements for recruiting must be very high, right?"

"Of course! Look at the top three guilds. They all have a ton of requirements listed. So many people are desperately trying to get in."

"Ah, now that I hear you put it that way, I'm not going to apply. With my skills, there's no chance."

"No, just give it a try, what if you win~"

"Come on, you guys, it doesn't hurt to talk while standing. If you have the guts, just do it yourself."

Xia Yao heard all the discussions in the crowd.

Perhaps it was preconceived notions at play; she hadn't even mentioned her intentions, yet everyone assumed she was the one to compete. Furthermore, the fact that the loser of a competition loses all their stakes was a significant cost factor, further discouraging players from participating.

Seeing that there were many people just watching the fun but no one actually signed up, Zhang Bu'pa and Huang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Sister, even if no one signs up..."

The guild's backstage, which had been buzzing with activity, immediately became quiet after they sent that message.

"Yes, President, how about I step out and say that it's me who wants to PK, not you." Huang Cheng said as he was about to stand up, but was stopped by Xia Yao.

"If I knew it was you, you would have dared to sign up. Sword and Rose doesn't need people like you." She glanced at the Imperial City.

Huang Cheng paused, perhaps understanding what she meant, but still couldn't help asking, "But if we don't tell us, won't today's efforts be wasted?"

It's not just today, maybe it will be like this tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Huangcheng was thinking in his heart.

"It's better to have nothing than to have something inferior." Xia Yao only gave this explanation to Huang Cheng's doubts, and asked them in return, "Have you ever thought about why I pulled you in as soon as I built Sword and Rose?"

Huang Cheng and Zhang Bugua were suddenly stunned. Oh, that's right, the boss is so powerful, and his requirements for the guild must be high. Why did he pull them in without saying a word?

"I guess... maybe it's revolutionary friendship?" Zhang Bupa asked with a blink.

Xia Yao smiled. "That's just one aspect. The most important thing is that you guys have never backed down from challenging dungeons or quests. If someone doesn't even have the courage to challenge, I don't think they're suitable to join Sword & Rose."

The two people gradually opened their eyes and understood something in an instant, and then.

"Don't worry, sister, I won't let you down!" Zhang Bupa sat up straight again.

"President, I understand! I will wait patiently for the applicants!" A determined light appeared in Huangcheng's eyes again.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the players who had been craning their necks to watch the show in front of the arena were all exhausted. They had thought they would have a good time, but everyone was shouting loudly, and no one actually signed up.

What a bunch of cowards! They thought to themselves.

At this moment, a male mage came out with his chin held high: "I want to sign up."

Xia Yao glanced at his ID and raised the corner of her mouth: "Okay."

However, Zhang Bu's face turned pale. Thinking that there were many people standing in front of her, she tried hard to suppress the trembling in her heart. She just clenched her fists on her thighs and tightly grasped her pants.

The visitor naturally noticed Zhang Bu's expression, and the smugness on his face became even greater: "Hey, little girl, we meet again."

The onlookers were confused and just thought that they knew each other.

Zhang Bu was extremely angry. How could the guy who raped her dare to appear in front of them!

"Sister, he..." She was about to explain.

"I know." Xia Yao interrupted her, "Heaven's Hand, an 18th-level mage, he was among the people that day."

The guy from that day? Huang Cheng immediately understood their conversation, his eyes widening. "What? He dares to come PK? I'll give him a good beating!"

After saying that, he walked to the registration desk with a stern face, knocked on the table, and said disgustedly: "Here, the challenger, write your name."

Tiantang wrote his ID with a half-smile on his face.

[Gamer Paradise has launched a challenge to the Player Imperial City. Warriors, please come and watch!]

At this moment, all the players watching the excitement opened their mouths in shock. They stared at the name of the contestant above in surprise - Under the Imperial City?

Oh my goodness, it turns out the one competing against them wasn't the number one, but the little follower sitting next to her! They've been waiting and watching for so long. If they had known, they would have signed up!

In an instant, everyone cast envious glances towards Tiantang.

In the ring, Huangcheng looked at him. Although he hated him from the bottom of his heart, he still bowed before the match according to etiquette. Tiantang smiled contemptuously and nodded in response.

The gongs and drums sounded.

Huang Cheng rushed out with a big sword in hand at the first moment!

Tiantang Yishou didn't rush to attack, but instead cast a skill on himself. Then he turned his foot, and his staff kept spinning, and the skill rained down on Huangcheng like a firecracker. Huangcheng raised his greatsword to parry, blocking part of the skill.

The two sides fought fiercely and neither gave in.

However, a few minutes later, the situation on the stage changed.

Tiantang, who attacked particularly intensively, took the initiative. He played the most difficult mage, the Arcane Mage, which mainly used arcane attacks and required strict control of mana and energy when operating. Many players failed at this profession that sounded simple but actually required very high requirements for details. Therefore, within a few days after the server was opened, many Arcane Mage players who wanted to show off switched to Fire Mage or Ice Mage.

Tiantang Yishou is considered to be the best among arcane mages, and Xia Yao almost suffered a loss when she fought with him that day.

Zhang Bupa knew Tiantang Yishou's strength even more. The knight Sword Demon King who saved her that day was only on par with him, and Huang Cheng's strength was slightly lower than Sword Demon King, so it would be really difficult to defeat Tiantang Yishou today.

Seeing that Huang Cheng was almost passively defending with gritted teeth, he only saw a slight opportunity occasionally and took the opportunity to give the opponent a heavy blow.

The situation is not very favorable.

Zhang Bu's palms were sweating profusely and his face was tense.

Xia Yao was not as nervous as her. She just crossed her arms in front of her chest and tapped her fingers from time to time.

Suddenly, she noticed that Tiantang was about to step back with one hand, so she opened her lips slightly.

Her voice rang out from the guild channel that had been connected to the microphone: "Imperial City, charge."

After receiving her instructions, the imperial city quickly used the charge skill, and the result was.

Miss.

"Oh, failed. It's okay. Use Fury to recover health and continue blocking and heavy attack."

Huang Cheng was very angry because the charge failed. Although she did not blame herself in the headset, she felt more guilty than anyone else.

This is not just his challenge, but a challenge for the entire Sword and Rose. He absolutely cannot fail!

He took a deep breath silently, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and continued to follow the previous steps: blocking, blocking, and hitting hard.

His blood was dripping rapidly.

But finally, Xia Yao once again seized the opportunity when the opponent retreated and said without hesitation: "Charge."

Huang Cheng immediately put away his sword and moved forward again!

As his body violently collided with the other party.

The system determined that his charge was successful!

Tiantang's attempt to recharge himself so as to control his mana and continue to burst out was interrupted and he was forced to be stunned on the spot for 1.5 seconds.

His heart skipped a beat, and he was surprised that his covert transition was discovered by the other party.

However, the current situation did not allow him to think about anything else.

Although 1.5 seconds is short, it is enough for the opponent to use all his stored big skills at once!

Hit with all your strength!

Tarzan's Hammer!

Powerful sweep!

Normal attack!

Tiantang Yishou felt pain all over his body, and then he saw the world turn upside down in front of him, and the picture instantly turned into black and white.

[I'm sorry that you failed the challenge. I hope you will keep trying.]

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the challenge at the foot of the Imperial City. Let's cheer for him!]

When victory finally came, everyone in the imperial city was a little bit unbelievable.

Tiantang is level 18 and he is level 16.

He actually won despite being two levels behind!

He stood on the stage panting, gripping the greatsword tightly. At this moment, the honor of the Sword and the Rose was defended by him!

The 5-second death countdown ended, and Tiantang Yishou automatically resurrected on the spot. His face was ashen and his eyes were heavy. After seeing the victor Huangcheng politely make a "please" gesture, he was even more angry and ashamed, and walked off the stage in disgrace.

The first challenge ended with Sword and Rose victorious.

The players who had regretted signing up earlier shut up again after seeing Tiantang's miserable state.

Even a level 18 mage couldn't beat her people, let alone these guys who weren't even at level 15? Forget it, forget it, people should have some self-awareness. It's okay to watch others' fun, but don't go in and get killed yourself.

Some players thought so, while others walked away after learning the ending.

Others were puzzled: "Brother, PK is so exciting, why don't you watch another round?"

The group rolled their eyes and said unhappily, "She and her people are so strong, none of us can defeat them. So why bother watching? There's no sense of anticipation at all."

...That makes a lot of sense.

Then they leave too?

The players surrounding the arena gradually began to think about leaving, and one by one they followed.

However, at this moment, a soft and weak voice sounded.

"I...I want to sign up...is that okay?"

Everyone turned around, their faces filled with shock.

A level 13 female mage?

Where does the courage come from?

What surprised them even more was that the top leader who had been sitting on the bench suddenly stood up slowly.

"Of course." She said with a smile, "Come on, compete with me."

Onlookers: Bullying, bullying! This time it’s really bullying!
