    “Guys!” Lan Mo received a message, and his face turned grim when he read it. Then, he gathered people like Xue Daolv and Ye Songtao to his side.


    “I just received a message that those big families have cut off all the spiritual artifacts and mineral resources sales channels of our Wuwei Daoist Alliance!”


    “This is outrageous!” Ye Songtao’s face turned livid.


    “They can only bully us! They don’t dare to smash this shop!” Xue Daolv also looked furious.


    “Alliance Master Lan, what do you think that we should do?”


    “In my opinion,” Lan Mo said, “We can stall them and keep this situation undercover for a while.”


    “Then...”


    “What else can we do?” Lan Mo said, “We’ve ced our bets. If we submit to them now, they will think that we are weak and are afraid of them. Do you think they will be good to us?”


    “It is better if we work together and take the risk!”


    Ye Songtao and Xue Daolv could do nothing but smile bitterly at each other.


    They wondered how they got themselves in a situation where they got cliffs on both sides.


    What else could they do?


    ...


    “The druid got close to his opponent with teleport as soon as he entered the battlefield!” Xiao Yulv stood up from the couch. “Casten An teleported away at the same moment that the druid took out the staff! He did it almost simultaneously!”


    All the people stared at the screen. With his high cultivation strength, An Huwei wasn’t slow in these ys!


    “Bu Che followed him with several teleports, but Casten An teleported away almost always at the same time!” Xiao Yulv eximed, “He solved it! After the ughter of sorcerers and sorceresses, Casten An seemed to have found a way to solve the problem!”


    “Casten An seemed to have added several items that can enhance his speed of casting spiritual spells. He broke the teleport staff strategy with his powerful reflexes!”


    All the people froze at An Huwei’s ys on the big screens.


    “He is, after all, a grandmaster!”


    “He can achieve such a feat...”


    “You can’t catch old birds with chaff!” Returning to the shop, people like Lan Mo and Ye Songtao each bought a box of spicy sticks and yelled between bites.


    “Bu Che will soon use up his teleports! Still, he gained no progress!” With his eyes glued to the screen, Xiao Yulv suddenly yelled in excitement, “Oh! Cloak of Shadows! This time, Casten An can’t see Bu Che’s movements and thus can’t teleport simultaneously!”


    “Wow! This spicy stick is an ultimate delicacy in the world!” While listening to Xiao Yulv’s loudmentaries, Lan Mo and the others chewed and savored the spicy sticks and watched the match. “It’s surprising that people can battle like this in the virtual world!”


    “Yeah!” Jun Yangzi picked up a spicy stick. “It’s much more fun than the Cultivation Realm Conference.”


    “The teleport is interrupted again!” Xiao Yulv pped his thigh. “The sorcerer is at a disadvantage!”


    Soon, An Huwei’s HP was emptied!


    “So soon!?”


    “Who are thepetitors in the next match?”


    “I want to watch more!”


    “Senior Nn versus Fu Jianghe, the second biggest dark horse!” Xiao Yulv looked at the screen. “Em? Where are they? One is missing.”


    [Nn Hongwu won the match due to the withdrawal of his opponent!] A notice appeared on the screen.


    “F*ck!”


    “What happened?!”


    “Because he knew that he would lose?”


    Fortunately, it was only a small interruption and didn’t affect the process of thepetition.


    No skills were prohibited in thispetition because Fang Qi found that it was not necessary.


    Each ss had its powerful aspects and its limits, and Fang Qi never thought to change this fact. After all, people could use these spiritual spells andbat techniques in the real world. Could these yers restrict and limit their enemies from using certain skills?


    Of course not!


    Since thepetition was based on the real world, it wasn’t necessary to restrict skills.


    “The next match! Lan Yan versus Song Qingfeng!”


    Both excelled in close-rangebats, and everything was more physical. Besides, it was a fierce battle since they were fighters on the same level in the real world. Song Qingfeng was proficient with the saber, dagger, and close-rangebat skill, mastering all types of close-rangebat. On the other hand, Lan Yan’s pdin activated the Holy Shield and wasn’t afraid of close-rangebat!


    On the big screen, people saw shes of sword and saber!


    The assassin in the ck leather armor moved swiftly like a ghost while the pdin’s light shield blocked the attacks without a miss!


    “Brother Xiao, what do you think?”


    “I don’t know!” Xiao Yulv’s face turned dark.


    “Song Qingfeng is the winner!”


    “The next match! Wang Tai versus Li Haoran!”


    Fatty Wang was obviously bolder in this match. While using Dim Vision to lower his opponent’s sight and senses, he used Decrepify and endless bone spirits steadily. Soon, he gained the upper hand!


    Li Haoran saw silent bone spirits swarming up from all directions in the darkness, and he was forced to teleport. When he came back and was about to cast spells, all kinds of curses swarmed up to him again!


    It was the second time that people witnessed the great power of this ss. The powerful tracking ability of the bone spirits didn’t need necromancer’s aiming, so they didn’t need to worry even if their vision was restricted.


    Even though not as mobile as sorcerers and sorceress who had teleport, the necromancers still could cause great trouble for their opponents with all kinds of curses that had long casting ranges.


    With more confidence in himself, people saw Wang Tai winning the match without more trouble.


    “It’s the shop owner’s scheme!” Nn Mingxuemented while eating spicy sticks on the couch.


    The Diablopetition and Counter Strikepetition were held on alternative days. On the second day, the big forces showed their great power and smart strategy in the Counter Strikepetition. However, the Royal Team didn’t make the top 8, nor did the Blue me Team which had been defeated by the two powerful teams from Lingyun Academy in the beginning!


    In the end, the top four were the two teams from Lingyun Academy, the Liuyun Team led by Su Tianji, and the team of independent warriors including Liang Shi.


    Although Song Qingfeng’s assassin barely defeated Lan Yan’s pdin, he was no match for Nn Hongwu’s pdin!


    Without a teleport staff, Wang Tai found that it was difficult to handle Bu Che’s strategy of teleport and siege. Despite the great power of the necromancer, this ss wasn’t invincible. In a PVP against a druid on the same level, the necromancer’sck of a teleport skill put Wang Tai at an disadvantage.


    The druid summoned the wolves, grizzlies, and vines, and they sieged his opponent against the curses. The result was obvious.


    In the end, Nn Hongwu took the first ce as everyone expected, but they were astonished to see that Bu Che and Wang Tai had taken the second and the third ces respectively!


    Song Qingfeng could do nothing but smile bitterly. After all, curses were indeed powerful in close-rangebat. Besides, Wang Tai was a warrior instead of an ordinary person or a dummy. When he tossed out the Iron Maiden, it immediately turned Song Qingfeng’s assassin, who mained martial arts skills, useless.


    On the other side, the Counter Strike teampetition also came to an end.


    The Lingyun Team led by Nn Mingue took the first ce with dominant strength. To people’s surprise, the previous second ce, Lingyun Team 2, was defeated by Shanshi Team led by Liang Shi in the semifinals and got only the fourth ce.


    As for Liuyun Team, due to Su Tianji’s great individual strength and the gradual growth of her teammates, they finally took the second ce.


    The three-weekpetition finally ended!


    “Boss! Where are the prizes?!” Jiang Xiaoyue looked around, more eager than the champions. “We haven’t handed out the prizes yet!”
