One Touch, and They Crumbled

Lin Qimeng is right. The reason why Future Guild has so many players ranked in the top 10,000 is largely because they are the number one guild.

Establishing a guild ahead of the rest of the game not only allowed them to recruit many skilled players, but also gave their guild Player ample time to grow.

After they created their guild, they realized that guilds were the game's favorites, and Mercenary Corps were simply incomparable.

The benefits offered by the guild are far superior to those of Mercenary Corps.

After everyone had compiled a list of guild Player, the second round of Team Competition qualifiers was about to begin.

After betting all their Star Diamond on their team, Old Wang and the others entered the competition venue.

Today's team selection matches were similar to yesterday's, both being Battle Royale Mode games.

The difference is that there are only ten teams on one map today, while there might have been hundreds yesterday. Also, 10 teams advanced from one map yesterday, but only one team advanced today.

"Welcome everyone to continue watching our match. We can see that the players have entered the competition area."

"I imagine today's match will be very exciting."

"According to our staff's statistics, the system seems to have intentionally separated the top teams; it appears that none of the more than 40 guilds have teams appearing in the same arena!"

"That's not necessarily true. Look, isn't Future Guild's team and the new guild Ice River's team in the same group?"

"That's true! Let's take a look at the match footage."

While the live stream outside was in full swing, Old Wang and his team were carefully exploring the Cosmic Arena filled with broken Meteorite.

They didn't know who their opponents were, but what made them so cautious wasn't their opponents, but rather the potential traps that might lurk on the field.

"It's unlikely that a trap could be set in this space environment," Xiao Hai said after everyone had been careful for a while without anything happening.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a Meteorite flew right past him.

Xiao Hai: "..."

This is such a slap in the face?

Then he looked in the direction from which the Meteorite had come and saw a team of people, all in Rare Mecha, watching them from a distance.

There were definitely no traps in this environment; the Meteorite we just saw was man-made.

This group is no ordinary people; they have already entered the Danger Warning range of Old Wang and his group, but Old Wang and his group did not sense it at all.

This shows that they possess stealth skills surpassing those of Old Wang and his group. If they hadn't intentionally let themselves be discovered, their sneak attack would have caused considerable trouble.

"What do they mean by this? Are they looking down on us?" Old Wang said, looking at the group of people observing them from a distance.

"The entire team Rare Mecha; this is the Ice River Guild's team," Lin Qimeng.

"The Ice River Guild is one of the newly established guilds. They don't have a gaming Club behind them, so they're probably a hidden guild like Mount Hua." -Sword of Miracles

"The whole team is made of water-attribute Mecha, won't they get beaten to a pulp by lightning-attribute Mecha?" Xiao Hai.

While Old Wang and his group were discussing the Ice River Seven, the people opposite them were also having a heated discussion about them.

"What the hell are you doing? Wouldn't it be better to launch a sneak attack? Are you a spy?" said Diamond Stars, the President of the Ice River Guild.

"You need to ambush a bunch of internet addicts? Can't you be a little more dignified?" one person said.

"That's right, Captain. Don't forget we have a trump card. These people are indeed nothing to fear!" another person said.

"Leave the strongest silence to me, let me show you what true massacre looks like," said the man who threw the Meteorite.

They are actually elites from Western Secret Forces, tasked with entering this game.

Their control over the Mecha is indeed much better than that of professional players, and they have a better understanding of Mecha combat.

For Western military forces, where individualism is prevalent, it's really painful to see professional athletes become famous.

Now that the restrictions on them have been relaxed and they are ordered to achieve good results in this competition, they certainly won't let go of this opportunity to defeat the Future Guild head-on and make a name for themselves.

"..." Diamond Stars looked at his teammates speechlessly and chose not to say anything more.

Damn it, what a bunch of idiots!

He'll be discharged after this competition; spending too much time with these people will affect his IQ.

"Why aren't they coming up yet? Let's go test their strength on Xiao Hai!" Sister Hua said, but as soon as she finished speaking, the seven opponents scattered and flew towards them.

Xiao Hai: "... Are these people voice-activated? Damn it!"

But jokes aside, when it comes to the battle, we still have to take it seriously.

As a great man once said, "Despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically."

Although Old Wang and the others didn't think they could be a match for their opponents, they still had to take it seriously.

After Xiao Hai finished speaking, he disappeared into the shadows. After Sister Hua and Fairy buffed everyone, Miracle stepped forward with his shield.

Old Wang's team uses the most common formation currently: the tank is in front, the damage dealers are in the middle, the support is at the back, and the assassin roams outside the team to look for opportunities.

But the other side wasn't like that; they lined up in a row, alternating between each other, and the distance between them was roughly the same.

Meanwhile, Old Wang and his team discovered that none of the enemy's seven Mecha were Defense Mech; this was a purely offensive team.

Just as the two sides were about to close to the point of attack range, one of the seven enemy Mecha unleashed its energy, and a phantom of a glacier made of ice Magic Energy bloomed in the midst of Old Wang and his team.

Although this move doesn't deal much damage, it slows down everyone except for Xiao Hai, who is detached from the team.

Seeing this, Fairy Jingzhe unleashed a healing wave from her Shaman Mecha, dispelling the slow effect on everyone. Miracle also entered her skill range at this moment.

He launched an Ambush on one of the enemy's magic-type Mecha that was charging up a skill, and then activated a group Taunt.

This move not only interrupted his skill but also put control of three of the opponent's Mecha.

At the moment of the Miracle attack, Sister Hua flashed forward and used her Blazing Vines to control six people. She originally intended to control one team, but one person managed to evade her control.

However, it was harmless. As the flames began to burn on the group, the Dragon Princess, who had arrived riding on the flames, began her reaping spree.

As he drew his sword, Fire Dragon coiled around him and fell into the enemy ranks. The resulting burst of flames reduced the three opponents to near-death.

Water Element Mecha do counter Fire Element, but that depends on the equipment. Lin Qimeng not only had a full set of Black Shark Perfect Set, but also Legendary Weapon borrowed from Xiaomi, making her damage output incomprehensible to her opponents.

After the Fire Dragon severely wounded the three, she swung her treasured sword, and a crescent-shaped flash of Frostflash appeared, instantly taking the three away.

Then she unleashed two more slashes, taking one person with her. After the person was killed, flames burst forth from the Dragonflame Blade.

This is a new feature of her Dragonflame Blade after her Mecha Evolution: the Dragonflame Blade will gain a Flame Enchantment upon defeating enemies or continuing to fight.

Attacking enemies will inflict fire damage; if the enemy is burning or under the Dragonfire status, the damage will be doubled.

This characteristic undoubtedly makes her stronger the more she fights.

After enchanting the Dragonflame Blade with flames, Lin Qimeng attacked another person. A six-pointed star of flame streaked across the sky, and that person was instantly killed.

The five men died almost instantly; they didn't even have time to break free of the control they were under.

The other person who was being controlled was also entangled to death by Sister Hua's Blazing Flower Vines. Old Wang didn't even have to lift a finger before they were almost all wiped out.

The last remaining person, witnessing this scene, tried to rush towards Old Wang, seemingly prepared to fight to the death.

But he was completely unaware of the fluctuations in the shadow behind him; streaks of Shadow Spikes shot out from his own shadow, riddling him with holes.

That's it?

Xiao Hai looked at the positions of the seven eliminated contestants, completely bewildered.

With their level of skill, what gives them the right to Taunt them?

"It's really puzzling! Tiantian, did you understand why they Taunt?" Nianmi.

"I don't understand. They probably had absolute confidence in abandoning the team's strongest member, Snow Veil. Maybe they didn't even expect that they would shatter so easily," Tiantian.

"It feels like they're not here to compete, they're here to stage an accident."

"Haha, you know what, it really does look like it!"

"They're probably buying into the Future, and then they want to hurry up and claim their rewards!"

In fact, not only were Old Wang and others puzzled, but the audience was also puzzled.

They truly didn't expect that these people actually had a complete plan to deal with Old Wang and his group, they just hadn't used it.
