Another Planet's Player

Xiao Fan swung his longsword, and a white Thunder Sword flew towards the girl with the high ponytail.

These Shadow Realm Player were clearly led by her, and Xiao Fan guessed that her game level was probably the highest among the five.

"Sister Yu, be careful!"

Sister Yu, the girl with the high ponytail that Xiao Fan attacked, had been keeping an eye on Xiao Fan the whole time.

She was on guard when Xiao Fan's weapon was enveloped in golden light, and now, seeing the white Thunder Sword flying towards her, she easily dodged it with a nimble roll.

The Thunder Sword missed its target, flying to the skill's maximum range and eventually forming a five-meter radius Lightning Sword Domain. Unfortunately, no one was within the domain.

Sister Yu gave a mocking smile.

"This player isn't that strong; it seems I overestimated him."

Although it uses Heaven-Tier Skill, the skill's release speed and range are such that even slightly agile players can dodge it.

Seeing that his attack had missed, Xiao Fan sighed slightly, but didn't care.

He might dodge it once, but he has four more chances!

Swish, swish, swish.

Three more Thunder Sword flew towards the other three.

The Shadow Realm Player seemed surprised that Xiao Fan also had Thunder Sword. Only one person reacted quickly and barely dodged the flying Thunder Sword, while the other two players were struck by Xiao Fan's lightning.

-40

-38

This damage!

Embarrassed, Xiao Fan picked his toes! He almost immediately realized that the others were all at a higher level than him! Significantly higher!

I looked up, and sure enough!

The levels of both players are displayed when a skill attack is performed.

One is level 175, the other is level 177, Xiao Fan's level isn't even a fraction of theirs!

"Bo Bo! Xiao Jie!"

When Sister Yu saw her two teammates being hit by Xiao Fan's skill, she let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The two players thought they were going to die the moment they were hit by the skill.

Surprisingly, when the skill hit me, I didn't feel much of a sensation.

What happened?

Because it's in the Real World, they can't see how much harm they've suffered, or at least it doesn't seem like it's too much.

After sensing the changes in their bodies, the two finally made up their minds.

He wasn't seriously injured!

Hearing Sister Yu's voice, the two of them quickly turned around.

"Sister Yu, we're alright. This guy's skills don't do much damage!"

"The skill damage isn't high?"

Sister Yu looked at her two teammates who had been hit by the skill with a look of surprise and doubt. They did not look injured.

"How so?"

Sister Yu clearly remembers seeing Xiao Fan use a Heaven-Tier Skill!

The low damage of Heaven-Tier Skill only proves one thing.

This player's stats aren't high! They're far below theirs, which is why they managed to deal so little damage.

"Could I have guessed wrong? This person isn't a player from a high-level planet?"

Sister Yu looked up at Xiao Fan's position.

Where are they?

Xiao Fan was nowhere to be seen.

Where did this person go? Did you see him?

Sister Yu quickly asked her teammates.

The other four then realized what was happening and shook their heads when they saw that Xiao Fan was gone.

Bo Bo and Xiao Jie were both hit by the skill, and everyone was busy worrying about their condition, so they didn't have time to look at Xiao Fan.

"How could it be gone? It was just standing there a moment ago!"

"I didn't see anyone leave the roof, how can there be no one here?"

Sister Yu ran to the spot where Xiao Fan had just been standing, a spot with a bottomless abyss behind it. Looking down at the building, she could only see blurry lights a thousand meters above the ground.

"Won't this person fall down the building?"

The others also came over and glanced down.

But we didn't hear anything at all.

Sister Yu said with a frown.

Even a player falling from a height of thousands of meters would make a sound.

This is a bit strange.

"Where else could he have gone if he didn't fall? We didn't see anyone come downstairs just now."

One player analyzed.

The others thought about it carefully and agreed; the rooftop was only so big, and the only options were to walk down or fall down—they couldn't just fly away, could they?

Even if it flies away, they can still see it.

"They probably really did fall when we weren't looking."

Xiao Fan disappeared, and Sister Yu stopped worrying about it. She looked at the others with a serious expression and said:

"The Game Association must be informed about the invasion by players from other planets."

"I really don't understand. People from our planet are always low-key in the game, and we always barely advance in the rankings at the end of each season. How come we're being targeted by players from other planets?"

"That player named Xiao Jie said worriedly."

Their planet is special; only pure humans from their Shadow Realm can enter the <Cloud Sea> game, making it completely incomparable to those planets with large populations.

Therefore, the people of their planet adhere to the principle of keeping a low profile in the ranking competition, but even so, they are still targeted by planets in the same region.

How awful!

Upon hearing this, Sister Yu sighed.

"As the Cloud Sea exists for longer and longer, the strength of the players on each planet becomes stronger and stronger."

Now, the Points gap between each planet is getting smaller and smaller at the end of the season, and no one can guarantee that their planet will advance until the last game.

The simplest way is to invade the Real World and kill some players. If players are not strong enough, they cannot participate in Ranked Match to earn Points. If they don't get enough Points, they will naturally be eliminated. It seems that some planet is eyeing us. I wonder which one it is.

Sister Yu lowered her eyes, seemingly wondering which planet Xiao Fan was a player from.

"These despicable people! They can't climb the Points, so they resort to violence in the Real World. Shameless!" said one of the youngest-looking players angrily.

"Heh, planets that fail to advance at the end of the season will be submerged by the <Cloud Sea> and completely disappear. Who wouldn't be afraid?" Sister Yu said with a sneer.

These words caused a moment of silence in the room.

After a long silence, the youngest player finally spoke.

"Sister Yu, tell me... what is the purpose of <The Cloud Sea> in making us planets constantly compete and advance?"

"I don't know either." Sister Yu shook her head, her voice becoming ethereal. "Perhaps... only the planet that climbs to the very end in the Ranked Match will know the answer."

"Alright, don't think too much about it. The season is almost over, and we have to participate in the last Ranked Match, otherwise our Points might be overtaken by other planets. Let's go report the invasion by players from other planets to the Game Association first."

Beside the five people, Xiao Fan, who was invisible, stood quietly to the side, listening to their entire conversation.

At this moment, Xiao Fan's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He heard a little about the Ranked Match version of the game from Luo Yi.

Previously, he only knew that Ranked Match would allow players from many planets to participate in the competition and earn Points.

But he didn't know that the Cloud Sea Ranked Match was for eliminating planets.

According to these Shadow Realm Player, at the end of each season, low-ranked planets are completely submerged and disappear by the Cloud Sea.

"Completely disappeared..."

Xiao Fan swallowed hard.

What's even more terrifying is that the <Cloud Sea> has existed for far longer than Xiao Fan imagined, and many of its planets are already incredibly powerful. How can a planet like Blue Star, which is practically still in its infancy, compete with them?

Whether Xiao Fancheng admits it or not, he is now bound to Blue Star.

Once Blue Star is eliminated in the Ranked Match, he will also disappear along with the planet.

At that moment, a strong sense of crisis welled up in my heart.

"Get stronger! Only by getting stronger can you gain Points in the Ranked Match. Only by getting stronger can you keep advancing and uncover the purpose of the <Cloud Sea> selection planet!"
