Chapter 1417: Shocking the Empire
Chapter 1417 â Shocking the Empire
From the moment the bell signaling the start of the match rang until the moment the system displayed its end, less than five seconds had passed. The match was so overwhelmingly one-sided that Falling Flowers hadnât even had time to scream before she transformed into particles of light and disappeared from the stage.
At this point, Group Fiveâs stage had become a smoldering messâŠ
Looking at the stage, Zhao Yueru was momentarily dazed. She struggled to believe that it had been her doing.
âWhat just happened?â
The audience watching Group Fiveâs battle wore dumbfounded expressions, their minds unable to process the unexpected outcome.
Originally, everyone had assumed that the fight was between two players of equal strength; they had never expected this outcome.
âTriple-casting! Just who is she?!â Blue Phoenix stared at Zhao Yueru in shock.
Current peak magical-class experts were just barely learning to triple-cast, and Zhao Yueru could already triple-speed-cast. Even Blue Phoenix had yet to grasp that level of the technique. Even after entering the legacy space of Zero Wingâs Secret Spellcasting Technique, she had only grasped double speed-casting.
Moreover, based on the power of Zhao Yueruâs Spells, it was obvious that her Skill Completion Rates were very high.
âHow many secrets is Zero Wing hiding?â Phoenix Rain couldnât help but glance at Zero Wingâs room from her seat next to Blue Phoenix.
Zero Wing had previously revealed that it had powerful magical-class experts such as Violet Cloud, Aqua Rose, and Alluring Summer. Now, the Guild had revealed Zhao Yueru.
Due to Zhao Yueruâs astonishing performance, the audience began to pay more attention to Zero Wing.
âHow strong is Zero Wing?! It even has such a powerful Elementalist expert!â
âI had thought that Zero Wingâs only capable expert was the Sword King, Black Flame. Now, it turns out that the Guild has such a magical-class expert.â
After this match, the Black Dragon Empireâs players began to look into the Guild known as Zero Wing.
The moment they did, however, they flabbergasted.
They had never thought that Zero Wing would be Star-Moon Kingdomâs number one Guild.
âThe this ranking competition is going to be interesting!â
âSo, Zero Wing is pretty strong. Weâll likely see a change to the Black Dragon Empireâs top-ten Guild list.â
âZero Wing should have no problems ranking among the top ten. However, getting into the top five will probably be a challenge. After all, the five first-rate Guilds in our empire have many powerful experts. Why would it be easy to surpass them?â
While everyone discussed Zero Wing, the various large Guilds turned their attention towards the Guild as well. They began to search for a method to deal with Zhao Yueru.
Although Zhao Yueruâs ability to triple-speed-cast was powerful, she wasnât undefeatable.
Following which, the spectatorsâ astonishment grew as they watched one match after another, Zero Wingâs five representatives improving their battle records.
Fifteen consecutive victories⊠Twenty consecutive victories⊠Thirty consecutive victoriesâŠ
It seemed as if no one could stop Zero Wingâs representatives. Not even top adventurer reams and first-rate Guildsâ top-tier experts were a match for them. In the end, all five qualified for the final phase. Zhao Yueru, in particular, had displayed overwhelming power from start to finish.
On the other hand, some of the representatives from first-rate Guilds and top adventurer teams, who had been expected to make it to the final phase, were disqualifiedâŠ
âZero Wing is too awesome. All five of its representatives made it. Even the five first-rate Guilds couldnât accomplish the feat.â
âIâve heard that the Zero Wing Guild developing in the Black Dragon Empire is only a Branch Guild. If even the Branch Guild is this powerful, how much stronger is the main branch?â
âI think I heard that Zero Wingâs Branch Guild in Lake Heart City has been recruiting members. Once the competition is over, I must go and apply to join the Guild!â
Before anyone had realized it, Zero Wing had become a rival for the Black Dragon Empireâs top five first-rate Guilds. Its fame in the empire skyrocketed.
âGuild Leader, are you sure about giving them so many All-rounded Devices?â
The outcome of the competition had shocked Gentle Snow. She was very familiar with the standards of Zero Wingâs five representatives. Although their combat power had increased thanks to the weapons and equipment Shi Feng had provided, the improvement was limited. I wasnât possible for them to achieve such exaggerated results.
She might have understood if only Zhao Yueru had been victorious, yet despite their assignment to the death groups, the other four representatives had won their matches as well. This was unbelievable.
Fierce Snake and Negative Lifeâs performances were particularly shocking. They had contended with Refinement Realm experts. In the end, they had relied on superior Basic Attributes and high Skill Completion Rates, barely defeating their opponents.
Gentle Snow had found this outcome incredible. After all, she was fully aware of just how powerful a Refinement Realm expert was. Such experts should have no issues defeating non-Refinement Realm experts, even with 30% higher Basic Attributes. Furthermore, Fierce Snake and Negative Lifeâs Basic Attributes werenât much higher than their Refinement Realm opponents.
The only explanation for their unexpected performances was the All-rounded Device.
Gentle Snow hadnât expected such amazing results from the All-rounded Devices. They were so effective that they allowed Fierce Snake, someone who wasnât even a Half-step Refinement Realm expert yet, defeat a Refinement Realm expert.
âRelax. While the All-rounded Deviceâs production is somewhat costly, we can make as many of it as we want.â Shi Feng hadnât expected the item to be so effective either.
After fighting so many matches, Fierce Snake and the others had obviously improved. If they could continue fighting different Refinement Realm experts, it wouldnât be long before then entered the Refinement Realm as well, becoming cornerstones for Zero Wing.
âAs many as we want?â Gentle Snow was at a loss for words as she stared at Shi Fengâs calm expression. She felt as if this was the first time she had met the man.
If it were possible to mass-produce the All-rounded Device, then with Zero Wingâs current foundations, they could nurture a batch of Refinement Realm experts in a short time.
She would never have dared to dream of such a thing in the past.
After the competitionâs initial phase ended, the true ranking competition that everyone had looked forward to began.
Unlike the initial qualifiers, participants that lost a match during the final phase would be eliminated, while those that won would proceed to the next round.
Meanwhile, to prevent the various large Guilds and adventurer teamsâ representatives face off against their own, the system would try to assign them to different matches as often as possible. This assured that the various large Guilds and adventurer teams could collect the maximum number of points possible.
Aside from Zhao Yueru, Fierce Snake and the others were strong enough to rival Refinement Realm experts. In the end, they easy passed the first three rounds and ranked among the top 150 in the competition. However, three had lost the fourth round due to Refinement Realm expert opponents with Epic items. In the end, only Zhao Yueru and Negative Life had won their fourth matches in the final phase.
During the fifth round, a Refinement Realm expert with more than one Epic item had eliminated Negative Life. He had lost with little resistance.
âGuild Leader, Zero Wing is far more powerful than we had expected. What should we do now?â the Shield Warrior named Lonely Castle asked Crimson Fox worriedly in Crimson Castleâs VIP room.

Although the two experts Nine Dragons Emperor had sent had made it to the fifth round, the other three representatives had been eliminated in the second match.
âWhatâs there to worry about? Didnât you see Zhao Yueruâs next opponent?â Crimson Fox asked unhurriedly as he pointed to the virtual screen above the center stage.
âWhat?!â Lonely Castle was stupefied when he saw the names on the screen. He was instantly elated.
Zhao Yueruâs opponent for the fifth round was Yi Luofei, the FFF adventurer teamâs vice commander. She had the nickname Frost Empress and was one of the Black Dragon Empireâs Four Great Elementalists. The Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had even offered her the position of vice commander over its main force to recruit her.
