There was’t much variation in amateur battles and Lu Li predicted correctly.

Team Screen Protector successfully killed an opposing Mage. The Three Healers weren’t able to heal in time, which showed the Team Ursae Majoris was less mechanically skilled.

In reality, Ursae Majoris was a mercenary group that specialized in quests and trainings.

Their top players were mostly players that specialized in completing quests and levelling others up in the Wild. Their equipment was good but they never had time to compete in arena because they were busy making money. Their previous wins were most likely because of luck.

If both teams were mediocre at PvP then the team with the better equipment would obviously win.

The name Screen Protect was lame, but most of their players spent a lot of time in the arena. Even though they weren’t professionals, they were still able to strategize and take out this questing team.

And so, Ursae Majoris lost.

Water Fairy had won so she needed to pick out three questions to ask.

“How about this – let’s play something more fun,” Dark Winds said, stopping her. “You haven’t married him yet, so why are you so nice to him all the time? You can pick a question out of the three, but it has to be randomly picked out. Otherwise, if you keep picking the easy questions, it won’t be fun at all.”

“I don’t know about this…” Water Fairy responded.

She didn’t oppose the idea strongly and seemed to be having fun teasing Lu Li.

Water Fairy picked out three cards and randomly chose one.

“What’s the difference between this and just randomly picking one?” Lu Li said speechlessly.

“Boyfriend and girlfriend – which is more important? Say their name…” Water Fairy rarely laughed in public places, but she was laughing her head off on stage.

Nobody was paying attention to the matches anymore.

Lu Li put his face in his hands and said weakly, “Of course the girlfriend is more important. I’m not going to say her name. As for a boyfriend, I don’t have one, I don’t!”

What kind of dumbass question was this? How could someone have a boyfriend and a girlfriend at the same time?”

“If you don’t have a boyfriend then how do you know which is more important?” Dark Winds quipped, acting confused.

“This question is stupid,” Lu Li argued. “Don’t think you can be unreasonable just because you’re older than me.”

“Okay, I’ll leave it, but why don’t you want to say her name? Do you think it’s shameful to be her boyfriend?”

Dark Winds was unrelentless with his roasting. Lu Li saw that Water Fairy was staring at him, waiting for him to answer the question.

“…” Lu Li felt as if he had been set up.

The second match today was starting and it coincidentally featured a team from Ruling Sword.

This match featured the Paladin Mu Qiu, Fire Mage Fat Monkey, Ice Mage Short Circuit, Priest North City Icecream and the Hunter Viking Sea Cow. Mu Qiu had switched to being DPS class. He was actually new to PvP and needed a lot more experiences in matches. Fat Monkey was the captain and was in charge of shot calling. Short Circuit trained while recovering from his sickness and was very harsh on himself.

North City Icecream and Viking Sea cow were the rookies from the training cramp – a healing Priest and DPS Hunter.

Northcity Icecream and Viking Sea Cow were still underaged but had a lot of potential. Lu Li had high hopes for these two to take over the future of Ruling Sword.

Obviously, they still had a lot to prove despite having a lot of talent.

These two were training while participating in amateur competitions to gain experience. Once they started facing off against major guilds, they would probably be subbed off.

Pressure made diamonds, but when the pressure was too great, it can easily destroy one’s willpower.

Ruling Sword’s lineup was one healer, three DPS and a crowd control player. Lu Li did not interfere with their team composition too much and gave them the freedom to be creative. The only time he got involved was with Cat Dad, Moonlight and other experienced players to guide and give them suggestions.

“This lineup features a lot of familiar faces, right?” Dark Winds laughed.

“Yes, very familiar,” Lu Li agreed.

“Haha, I was just joking. A lot of the powerhouses of this competition have opted to allow their younger players to develop through amateur matches. Looks like the uprising Ruling Sword are also doing the same thing. Lu Li, Moonlight and March Rain did not make an appearance, while Kitty Likes Meat and Sakura Memories didn’t even register for this competition,” Dark Winds said.

“Yeah, they’re working on something else,” Lu Li responded cryptically, not disclosing too much information.

“It’s a surprise that Fat Monkey has made an appearance. Not long after his debut, many crowned him as the successor to Sorrowless as the Mage God of Dawn. Why is he participating in an amateur match? Dark Winds asked the question that many people were wondering.

“Uhh… I personally think it’s a bad idea to compliment him too much,” Lu Li disagreed. “Over the years, there have been many new Mages that we thought had the potential to overthrow Sorrowless, but none of them succeeded and some even failed miserably.

If he was hyped up too much, it would be even more disappointing for him if he failed.

‘Don’t be humble. Fat Monkey is a great player.” Dark Winds continued to compliment him.

“I’m actually looking forward to seeing Mu Qiu this game,” Lu Li said.

“Mu Qiu… Speaking of him, doesn’t everyone in the game want to kill him?” Dark Winds asked.

“Why?” Lu Li didn’t know what happened to him. Mu Qiu was a very quiet person and kept to himself, so Lu Li assumed that he had a decent relationship with most people.

“Because of his sword – Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood!” Dark Winds said while pounding his chest in pain. “Even I want to get my hands on it; that sword is way too cool. There are so many people wanting to kill him just for that sword. You better remind him to never be alone by himself in the Wild.”

“Okay, I’ll tell him that,” Lu Li laughed awkwardly.

A lot of people say that even brothers would betray each other for this sword, so it probably was a good idea for him to not wonder out by himself.

Mu Qiu was already very careful and would often be accompanied by Paladins in the guild. His safety was no problem. The casual players were too weak to take on the Paladins and the professional players dared not to offend Ruling Sword.
