Dirty Words
The other person was a blond, blue-eyed, smiling fellow. Xi Ji didn't know which country he was from; the other person only mentioned that he was Forbidden Class practitioner.
"This scene may seem normal to you, but it could have been better! The District War stage is a golden period where you have a real chance to use card cooperation to farm massive amounts of Tinder Shards, accumulating resources for the more brutal 'Continued Battles' to come. Internal strife and non-cooperation are the most foolish things to do!" Xi Ji said calmly.
"You know what? In my area, no one dares to talk to me like that." The other person's tone remained calm, but the smile seemed to have faded somewhat.
Xi Ji cleared his throat. He hadn't sworn in a long time; he'd just refreshed his memory today.
"What the hell are you pretending for! How did a loser like you become Forbidden Class? Did you sell yourself like a baby? This District War is clearly based on strength; as a Forbidden Class, shouldn't you be competing with other Forbidden Class...?"
Xi Ji suddenly feigned surprise, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret:
"You're the only Forbidden Class user here... Wait, no way? Could it be that according to the system's assessment, you're the weakest among the Forbidden Class users, and can only compete with us advanced profession users?"
"The system isn't worried that you'll run into other Forbidden Class and get kicked to death like a stray dog, is it? Haha!"
The other person's face had turned incredibly dark.
"Very good, very good. Which district are you from?"
"Zone 76, do you have any objections?" Xi Ji his arms, his Consciousness Entity leaning back in his chair, his posture arrogant.
The other person didn't say anything.
"You don't need to be afraid of those two in our district. With your abilities, you should be thinking about how to get away from me first. Don't let the next time we meet, you'll be even worse than me, a high-level professional... Hahaha, that's too funny, sorry, I couldn't help it."
Xi Ji laughing, Xi ignored the bewildered team members taking notes and left the hall.
"Get ready, someone might use cards on us..."
Xi Ji glanced at the team members already set up in the Sanctuary and said bluntly.
After arranging everything, Xi Ji put the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking back into his mouth, but didn't Ignite again. He just stared blankly at the flickering light of the Tinder, lost in thought.
The threshold for participating in the District War is that someone in the zone has killed a level 6 Elite monster.
Elite level 6 monsters are typically stronger than regular level 7 monsters. This means that most teams qualified to enter the District War battlefield are capable of defeating level 7 monsters.
The fifth wave, consisting of three level 7 monsters and twenty level 6 monsters, is the "passing grade" for most teams. However, starting from the sixth wave, the difficulty reaches a threshold, which will weed out a large number of participants.
Ultimately, only 10% of the teams will make it to the Continued Battle. This means that, most likely, between the fifth and sixth system time points, around the intensity of the sixth to seventh waves, the remaining teams will be eliminated, ending the District War phase.
The entire pace was breathtakingly fast.
Xi Ji Ignite a cigarette and looked at the card in his hand.
He finally understood that this District War was played with completely different rules for participants at different levels:
Those professionals at the bottom of the skill level could barely hold out for a few waves before being eliminated. They wouldn't even try to use 20% of the Tinder Shards obtained in the current wave to accelerate their development; at most, they would touch the cards, and they would be eliminated very quickly.
Then there's the middle tier, those who can Continued Battle, ranging in strength from barely surviving the seventh wave to some even being completely useless Forbidden Class. They might consider consuming Tinder Shards to advance to earlier waves and accelerate their development, and they can also use some cards, or even create some combinations to eliminate opponents and strengthen themselves.
So... what about Su Luo and Song Shige, those Forbidden Class and even Forbidden Existence who are at the forefront of the world?
They are undoubtedly accelerating at an alarming rate, with waves of cards at their disposal that could trigger a qualitative change.
Logically, the higher the wave level, the more cards you get, the more interactions there are between teams on the same battlefield, and the higher the intensity.
All sorts of cards, all sorts of intrigues and alliances, all sorts of Talents and skills...
Just thinking about it is exciting!
Time passed quickly, and the third time point arrived.
Logically speaking, this should be the sixth wave.
However, the System Panel displays "[Sixth Wave]" and "[Seventh Wave]".
Two waves struck simultaneously! Someone used cards on them!
Xi Ji's expression remained unchanged. His aura expanded, first casting a group aura on the team members, and then casting individual auras on different team members.
By the time the fourth time point arrived, Xi Ji had already used two cards, effectively doubling the profits from this wave.
[Eighth Wave]
On one of the paths, a figure appeared that made all the team members gasp – an 8th-level monster!
Xi Ji turned slightly grave; he had never faced an 8th-level monster head-on before.
Theoretically, this is a monster that only exists outside the region. Its combat strength is not strong, and even if one could defeat it in a one-on-one fight, the cost would be very high.
[Holy Giant Eyes ]
[Level: 8]
[Strength: 16]
[Spirit: 18.5]
[Constitution: 17]
[Skills: Rebirth, Bewitchment, Radiant Shield...]
It was a giant eyeball, over three meters tall, covered entirely in unknown white feathers. It hovered Jingjing half a meter above the ground, emitting a soft yet unsettling white light, and drifted slowly toward the [Tinder] along the illuminated path.
Its Attributes, judging from the data alone, don't seem outrageously unmanageable. However, let's still play it safe for now.
"Captain, shall we start?"
"Open!"
The team members skillfully triggered the preset Spells, and the Spells began to take effect, silently activating the weapons that had been previously buried in the path.
"Boom!"
The deafening sound of a series of explosions ripped through the silence of the battlefield. Hundreds and thousands of hydrogen-based non-nuclear Bombs detonated in a honeycomb pattern along their paths. The shaped-charge shockwaves shattered rock layers and fused sand and gravel, creating a crater fifty meters wide. The intense heat and powerful tremors caused widespread and devastating destruction, engulfing the surrounding area in flames.
The high-pressure gas from the explosion, mixed with debris, spewed out from the funnel crater and fault fissures, forming a black column of smoke tens of meters high, carrying a pungent smell of hydrogen, and the ground trembled slightly.
However, under this devastating blow that could completely level a street, the Holy Giant Eye only suffered some curling and charring of its pure white feathers, and its drifting speed was slightly reduced.
In the center of its enormous, icy pupils, highly concentrated Mana began to radiate a chilling light!
Xi Ji unfazed and pulled out a second, more rugged-looking trigger.
Directly beneath the giant pupil, a dormant "Grim Reaper" has been awakened—a thermobaric bomb with a yield equivalent to thousands of tons of TNT.
First, there was a violent primary explosion, which turned into an expanding, light-devouring orange fireball. Then, the high-energy fuel inside mixed with the air, causing a secondary explosion!
Boom--!
