The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 991  BLOCK REVEAL

ON the second night after the opening ceremony, the division list for the qualifiers was finally revealed. There would be six blocks in which teams under each block would fight in some kind of round robin tournament. The two teams with the most wins at the end would then proceed to the final tournament.

Which meant that there would be 12 teams advancing. The remaining four of the top 16 that would fight in the final tournament was already predetermined. They were the top four of the last season—Celestials, Fenghuang, Mozu, and Sirens.

The whole team Yunyue was in their headquarters waiting for the announcement of the qualifiers schedule.

"Hopefully, we won't have a scheduled fight on the 28th," Luo Yan said in a voice that only Shen Ji Yun, who was sitting beside him, could hear.

Shen Ji Yun quickly understood why Luo Yan said that. It's because the two of them decided to go to a temple fair on the 28th. In short, it's the day when they would have their date. The very first date, in real life, that they would have as an official couple. Of course, Shen Ji Yun also didn't want any obstruction for that day.

He reached for the other's hand and held it. "Don't worry, even if we have a scheduled fight for that day, we just have to finish it quickly."

Luo Yan smiled at that. "I like the sound of that."

"It's out!"

Bai Ze's voice cut the two lovebirds' little flirting. On the huge screen in the main hall that looked similar to the ones seen on the city square, the names of 60 teams were listed on six different blocks—from block A to block F. Each block had 10 teams in it.

Luo Yan quickly looked for their team name and found it on block E. He read the name of the other seven teams on the same block and his eyes widened when he saw the name of one of the teams listed there.

Team Sanguis. It's the team of that perverted vampire, Alucard.

Before he could comment on that, he happened to see the expression on Su Yuqi's face. There was a sinister smirk on her lips that totally didn't fit her avatar's cute appearance.

"Ah Jin, did you see? We can finally openly beat the shit out of that damn vampire," she said to Luo Jin.

Luo Jin responded with the same sinister grin. "Yes. It seems that fate is on our side."

Luo Yan blinked. Why did it seem like he was watching two 'gremlins' planning to murder someone? He shrugged and just chose not to comment. Well, as long as they're happy.

"What is the schedule of our fight?" Shen Ji Yun said, asking the important question.

"Wait- I'll check," Bai Ze responded.

He clicked on the name of their team on the virtual screen, and a scheduled timeline appeared.

Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun looked at the date of their team's first match and both released an imperceptible sigh of relief as soon as they saw that it's the day before the date. And as luck would have it, they don't have any fight on the 28th.

The two lovebirds turned to each other at the same time and a smiled full of satisfaction.

And with that, they proceed on having a strategy meeting for their first qualifier match.

----------

Days quickly passed, and it was the day of team Yunyue's first match. Their opponent today was called team Valor. They were a newly formed team that just started last year. But that didn't mean that they should be underestimated. The fact that they had the qualification to join this year's Arcadia Cup meant that they were skilled enough.

All qualifying matches would be held at Lunaris Vale, the new area that was opened for this year's Cup. The area was so big that there were a lot of places that could be used as a battle location.

Teams that were participating in this qualifier would be directly transported to the area they would fight in the moment they teleported to Lunaris Vale. Which would greatly shorten the time it needed to start the match.

Since different qualifying matches happened simultaneously throughout Lunaris Vale, those who wanted to watch the match of certain teams could choose to watch it via the livestreams on Arcadia's official game site. The players inside the game could also watch the matches by going through specialized establishments that provided livestreaming.

Since today was the first match of team Yunyue after a long time, many viewers chose to watch their livestreamed match. Causing the chat window of their livestreamed match to be very busy.

[I can't believe we'll be able to watch team Yunyue fight in a group match again.]

[Right? I can't wait to see YUN in action again. He hadn't been doing PvPs lately. I kind of miss watching his fights.]

[The same goes for Morganite and White Marsh.]

[But are they really worth the hype? I mean, it's been so long since they fought in a group match like this. Not to mention, two of their original team mates were not already part of the team.]

[True. No matter how strong they are individually, group match is still fundamentally different. What's important here more than anything is team work.]

[Have you all forgotten that their two new members were promising rookies of last year? One of them being the literal champion of Rookie Carnival.]

[I'm sure Yunyue didn't decide to participate this year without much preparation. They definitely would have prepared enough not to be humiliated, at least.]

[My money's on team Yunyue winning this match easily.]

[I wouldn't say they would win easily, but I don't think they would lose either. Their opponent is just a newly formed team, so...]

[But team Valor is not a joke either. They have pretty good teamwork, that's why their dungeon clearing success rate is pretty high.]

Amidst the arguments and different opinions on the chat window, team Yunyue finally appeared.
