They Were the Ones

"As you've seen, this team doesn't choose to play against the weakest team."

"They dare to approach teams ranked 50th when they're ranked 100th, and teams ranked 20th when they're ranked 78th. How can you guarantee they won't come after you?"

When the Great Wood God asked this question, all the captains present fell silent.

How can they guarantee that? They can't guarantee anything!

Madmen, this team from District 10 is madmen!

It's like you're fucking crazy. Why not play it safe and take it easy? You have to challenge opponents much higher level than you. Having an Elemental Skill would really make you look good!

This is infuriating!

After saying enough, the Great Wood God unleashed his final killing move.

"Do you think I'm the only one who can figure out that they have Elemental Skill?"

"The Apostle of the other Top Hundred Teams aren't fools either; they might already be looking for a joint team."

Hearing what the Great Wood God said, everyone looked at the map and indeed found that many teams were moving towards the surrounding teams.

It's clear that these teams have chosen to unite.

If the other teams unite, won't these individual teams become easy targets?

Having come this far, wouldn't it be utterly awful to be eliminated?

"Wood God, you're right, we can only become stronger by uniting!"

"Our entire team of ten must advance together; we can't afford to lose any of us!"

"So what if he has Elemental Skill? He still dares to provoke ten teams like ours?"

The leader of Village 9 finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone agreed.

However... he felt like something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.

The Great Wood God had succeeded in his goal, but he was not happy at all.

A team from District 10 has managed to push these Top Hundred Teams to this extent.

He really wants to see it for himself if he has the chance.

In the forest, Xiao Fan was leading his team forward at breakneck speed.

Their goal this time is to defeat the team ranked 20th.

If they eliminate this team, their ranking will likely rise by another ten or twenty places.

Yu Mo and her group followed at the back of the procession, each one seemingly an emotionless machine rushing along.

They still haven't realized what's happening.

Just now, they found the team ranked fiftieth.

The people opposite them looked fierce and menacing, and charged at them as soon as they saw them.

At this moment, Xiao Fan activated his Mass Imprisonment Skill.

Then, they saw colorful Elemental Skill flying towards the imprisoned team.

And then... and then nothing happened.

Once the skill was used, the area ahead was completely open, without even a glimpse of clothing.

"You won just like that?"

Yu Mo and the others could hardly believe their eyes.

That's way too fast!

Are they really a top 50 team? They seem so easily defeated!

What shocked them even more was that they discovered that Jian Qingfeng and these Pseudo-Apostle actually possessed Elemental Skill!

He originally thought that only one or two Pseudo-Apostle had successfully created the skill.

The results are all--

That's a huge concept!

I dare not even think about it, I absolutely dare not even think about it!

No wonder Xiao Fan dared to challenge for a Leaderboard ten; he could even challenge for Leaderboard one!

Those are fifty Elemental Skill! They'll wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop!

If Yu Mo had any reservations about Xiao Fan and the others' identities before, they were completely gone now.

From a teammate's perspective, having a teammate like this is simply the greatest blessing!

Charge! Charge! Charge! They are the champions!

The most panicked group at this moment is undoubtedly the twentieth team.

The captain panicked the moment he saw Xiao Fan's team moving in their direction.

It's hard to imagine that just a minute ago he was mocking this team for overestimating themselves.

A minute later, all he wanted was to get as far away as possible!

In fact, he did just that.

As Xiao Fan's group moved toward them, they fled in a more distant direction.

Face? What is that?!

All they knew was that once they were eliminated from the Trial Land, they would never have another chance to become Level 4 Warrior!

He won't go to hell; let whoever wants to go, go!

"Jiu Chen, the team we marked is on the run."

When Jian Qingfeng realized that the coordinates of the team they were dealing with were getting further and further away, he said to Xiao Fan in surprise.

"Escape?"

Xiao Fan glanced at it, and it really was true.

They've been walking for so long, yet they're getting further and further away from that group.

"Damn! Don't they have any sense of responsibility as strong people? They actually retreated without a fight."

Xiao Fan was speechless.

They're a top 20 team, why are they running against a team ranked 78th?

"We must have attacked too quickly, which alerted them to something was wrong."

Jian Qingfeng guessed.

Xiao Fan twitched the corner of his mouth.

I wish I hadn't started so quickly.

There's no way around it; his skill's stun duration is only three seconds. After that, it will be difficult to wipe out the entire opponent. After all, they are Top Hundred Teams, not those lowly fry from before.

"Not only that, it seems that Top Hundred Teams in the Finals Circle are forming alliances."

At this moment, Falling Leaf also stepped forward and spoke up.

"Team up?"

Xiao Fan looked at the map again and saw that many teams were gathering. He didn't think these teams were gathered together just to fight each other.

What to do?

"How about we attack the villages under the top 100? It'll be slower, but it'll be safer," Falling Leaf suggested.

Xiao Fan shook his head. "It's too late."

They're currently ranked 78th, and it's incredibly difficult for them to climb into the top ten in just over a day, especially against teams ranked below 100.

Besides, the top ten teams aren't stupid.

Seeing their Points increase, they will definitely try to accumulate Points to maintain their ranking.

This means they would need to play against twice as many teams to have a chance of advancing.

There isn't nearly enough time.

Besides, the other teams are also fleeing for their lives; they're not waiting for them to kill them.

Playing against the Top Hundred Teams is their only chance.

They can see the coordinates of these teams, and beating them earns them more Points and frees up their rankings.

If they're lucky, they can wipe out two or three more villages and make it into the top ten.

"It's alright. With our strength, even if they join forces, they might not be a match for us."

That's right, that's how confident I am.

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, Jian Qingfeng and the others nodded.

You're the boss, so you make the decisions.

Yu Mo and the others had no objections; they trusted Xiao Fan's judgment.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan stopped and looked at the map.

Most villages are clustered together by a dozen or even twenty villages.

That's going a bit too far.

Most of these villages have fifty people, some have more than fifty, and when a dozen or so teams gather together, there are six or seven hundred people.

This number was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Xiao Fan searched and finally found a united team of ten groups gathered together.

This is already the minimum.

"They're the ones!"
