No Way Out
In the scene, the warrior player seemed unwilling to accept being defeated so easily by a mage. He grabbed his weapon and charged directly at the mage.
This was exactly the situation that Han Xing wanted. He countered with a Lightning Ball and Fireball combo, blasting the warrior away directly.
After getting back up, the warrior charged once again.
After several repeated attempts, the player hadn’t even had a chance to unleash his full power and ended up losing the match.
“Frustration, that’s real frustration!”
One Sword Horizon sighed softly on the side. Petite Delicate, who enjoyed watching the spectacle, saw him still sighing and asked, “Horizon God Gamer, what are your thoughts on the guild master playing a mage in close combat?”
This piqued One Sword Horizon’s interest, and he replied, “I have to say, us warrior players should learn from the guild master’s techniques! It would take decades of practice to achieve what he did. I guarantee his close combat skills are the best I’ve ever seen, flawless!”
Some players were dissatisfied with One Sword Horizon’s statement. Han Xing was originally just a mage, but now he seemed to be excelling in the field of warriors.
However, they couldn’t argue back. Han Xing was still climbing the ranks, and comments expressing support for him were everywhere. Criticizing Han Xing at this point would likely result in a torrent of insults.
In the Benevolent Guild, Heavenly Goddess was attentively watching the match. As she saw Han Xing’s rank climb to the top 1000, her smile grew even brighter.
“I told you, once he comes back, he will be the first to contend for the top spots on the leaderboard.”
“Uncle, do you believe it now?”
Dashing Wind Chaser, who was watching the match on the side, was filled with excitement. Upon hearing his niece’s words, he snorted.
“Why are you still talking? You have the potential to climb higher, but you’re stuck at around 300. What’s the deal?”
Heavenly Goddess shook her head helplessly. “Uncle, I’ve told you many times before. My class is too specialized. If I continue to climb the leaderboard, my class will be completely exposed.”
“In the future, anyone who encounters me will immediately be on guard. For an assassin player like me, it’s highly disadvantageous. So, it’s better not to participate.”
Her words troubled Dashing Wind Chaser. Heavenly Goddess was already the highest-ranked player in the Benevolent Guild. He hoped her rank would keep rising, but what she said had some truth to it.
In the long run, not competing for higher ranks this time would be the best outcome.
Sun Heng had just finished a match when he heard the news about Star Rebel climbing the ranks. He quickly turned to Liu Feng and asked, “How’s Star Rebel doing in the ranking now?”
“He’s already reached the top 1000 and is still climbing,” Liu Feng replied with a less-than-pleased expression. Ever since Star Rebel joined the game, all the attention shifted to the Mad Dragon Guild, which wasn’t a good thing for domestic players.
“Damn it, why couldn’t Star Rebel wait until after the leaderboard event to log in?” Sun Heng cursed.
Guild Master Falling Leaf wasn’t feeling great either. After all, domestic players hadn’t achieved good rankings, despite their desperate efforts.
Yet Star Rebel easily and effortlessly achieved the victory they had been striving for.
Who wouldn’t feel jealous in such a frustrating situation?
On the field, Han Xing participating in the competition didn’t ponder much. After some time, his name finally appeared on the leaderboard’s top 1000. Due to the delay in receiving information from foreign players.
When Han Xing noticed the sudden surge in challenge requests, a slightly serious expression appeared on his face. Finally!
Naturally, the foreign guild players devised ways to hinder Star Rebel’s progress and sent numerous individuals to disrupt his advancement.
Even if Han Xing’s rate of advancement was fast, they could arrange players with corresponding skill levels to hinder his progress.
In the following hour, the audience witnessed the appearance of familiar foreign guild names, and their expressions gradually turned triumphant.
Meanwhile, the foreign players’ forums were already filled with discussions by domestic players.
“I’ve encountered several waves of players from the Raye Guild. Can’t they stop giving away points? Why aren’t they satisfied with giving away over 30 points? Do they want to keep going?”
“The East Sea Guild members are truly generous. On behalf of domestic players, I thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have known that the East Sea Guild has lost four or five matches in a row and still keeps giving away points.”
“The Luwha Guild was not bad either. They helped Guild Master Star Rebel to get up to 683rd place. They are really good. I’m so touched. I hope they can continue like this.”
Players from other countries naturally weren’t as stingy. In an esports game, it’s normal to face mockery and criticism when your team underperforms.
On the other hand, players from Country H were driven to madness, engaging in direct arguments with domestic players.
In the past, the Twelfth Guild had suffered defeat at the hands of Han Xing, and they couldn’t accept this fact. Now, witnessing Han Xing’s consecutive victories against several players from the East Sea Guild, they started making remarks.
“At least our East Sea Guild still has a ranking in the top 100. Li Shangzhi is the most formidable.”
“Ming En is also a nice player. I think these people are only good at talking about the game. Otherwise, why would they keep mocking us?”
“They aren’t even in the top 100, yet they think they’re strong? Does this Star Rebel truly believe he’s remarkable?”
As soon as the domestic players saw the remarks from Country H, they immediately used translators to roughly understand their meaning.
Now, witnessing these lambs to the slaughter still putting up a tough front, the players couldn’t help but laugh.
The arguments on the official company forum grew more heated, and more people aimed to obstruct the progress of Han Xing. Especially the Raye Guild, they were relentless, sending multiple waves of players to intervene.
However, in Han Xing’s view, all these people were simply offering him free points, not worth mentioning. Nonetheless, these individuals achieved their goals.
If it weren’t for their interference, Han Xing’s score would have increased even faster. Although he was still winning, it cost him quite some time.
With each match won, Han Xing’s victory score increased. The challenges from lower-ranked players automatically got filtered out by the system, alleviating Han Xing’s workload to some extent.
However, he glanced at the time and realized it was about time. If he continued playing, the situation wouldn’t be favorable.
Without much hesitation, Han Xing directly withdrew from the leaderboard’s competition, leaving many foreign players who had woken up for targeting him empty-handed..
