Chapter 200 - 200: Powerful
Powerful
After Yolton surrendered, before Ilan Xing could even react, he had already exited the leaderboard competition.
Han Xing couldn’t help but feel a bit amused. How did Yolton run so fast? He didn’t even have a chance to have a proper conversation with him. But once Yolton left, the viewers of the live broadcast started getting excited.
“Hahaha, surrendering that fast? The people from Hank Guild are hilarious, aren’t they?”
“If it were me, I would surrender too. I wouldn’t want to be beaten up by Guild Master Star Rebel. If he wanted to crush you, it wouldn’t be that simple.”
“Yeah, it’s a wise move. If 1 were from Hank Guild, I would reward him. This is a rare teaching video. I just recorded it. Brothers, hurry up and start learning.”
“I’ve already watched it, and these are moves that we ordinary people can’t learn. Those absurd close combat skills, I dare say even some warrior players can’t pull them off.”
“As a warrior player, I want to clarify that Guild Master Star Rebel’s abilities have nothing to do with us warrior players. If you want to learn his melee techniques, you mage players shouldn’t push yourselves too hard.”
The other players in the Mad Dragon Guild naturally witnessed the recent match. It must be said that the Guild Master truly astonished them with his skills during the match. Those techniques were simply impossible to learn, let alone master!
North Star looked at One Sword Horizon with a pensive expression and couldn’t help but tease, “Horizon, I’ve always thought you were good at close combat. So, if you were to fight the Guild Master, who do you think would be stronger?”
Upon hearing the question, One Sword Horizon’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he still forced himself to say, “You can’t say that. Our Guild Master is a mage and also specializes in warriors. So, 1 would be the one at a disadvantage!”
However, he couldn’t help but think on the deep side. If he could defeat the Guild Master, how would he have ranked so low on the leaderboard before?
The biggest drawback of mage players was their vulnerability in close combat. But now, Han Xing had perfectly overcome this significant weakness. No one stood a chance against him, a versatile mage like him.
On top of all this, he possessed both lightning and fire elements simultaneously. Such a combination was extremely rare in the whole Second World.
After Yolton’s maneuver, his ranking soared directly into the top 100, and the system promptly filtered out a group of players who didn’t match his rank challenge.
The viewers watching the live broadcast were well aware of how quickly he was climbing the ranks. However, reaching the top 100 in just two days was still somewhat unbelievable. Especially for those skeptics of Star Rebel on the official forum, who had previously claimed that it would take him half a month to break into the top 1000.
Looking back at their previous comments now, they seemed like a bunch of narrow-minded individuals!
In Han Xing’s plan, he had expected it would take him a week to smoothly get into the top 100, but he never imagined that these people would generously contribute points to him.
By simply handing him points, those who targeted him directly propelled him to his current position. It could be said that players from other foreign guilds also did him a great favor.
Initially, the players from foreign guilds didn’t pay much attention, but now, seeing how the domestic players were making a fuss, they were getting so infuriated that they were almost spitting blood!
Couldn’t they just let Star Rebel gain points in peace? They had to stir up trouble. And now, as a result, he came in and immediately displaced a large number of players.
There was no other reason, except that those foreign players insisted on targeting Han Xing, and once they dropped their rank, they were naturally replaced by higher-ranked domestic players, indirectly causing harm to the foreign players.
Even if everyone didn’t want to target Han Xing anymore, he wouldn’t let them off easily. After all, once in the top hundred, it would become extremely convenient to challenge anyone.
Without any hesitation, Han Xing directly started causing trouble for members of the Luwha Guild. Those players were always going to great lengths to deal with him, so it was the perfect opportunity for them to experience the same feeling.
Taking advantage of the rise in rankings and with no one coming to target him yet, he quickly chose the 68th-ranked player from the Luwha Guild, Tsuruta Hayami.
Not every player in the Country R’s guild can have the talent class of a ninja or ninjutsu. Tsuruta Hayami, on the other hand, was a Swordmaster. His Double Sword Style was well known in the Second World, although very few had had the chance to witness it.
Now, seeing Han Xing challenge the genius Tsuruta Hayami, who used the Double Sword Style, everyone’s anticipation had reached its peak.
Han Xing’s close combat skills were indeed impressive, but it was hard to say who would win in a fight against a Swordmaster of this level. After all, Han Xing’s body was just too fragile. If he were to be struck by a sword like that, he would probably die on the spot.
Zhang Wanshan also didn’t expect that Star Rebel would directly confront members of the Luwha Guild. This was becoming interesting.
“I heard that Tsuruta Hayami is a true master of swordsmanship in real life. I wonder if Star Rebel stands a chance against him.”
Zhang Wanshan stated a fact. Tsuruta Hayami had maintained a winning streak on the leaderboard. Although he hadn’t been striving to improve further, it was likely because he wanted to continue accumulating points in the final days. His skill was renowned within the Luwha Guild.
Tsuruta Hayami had initially joined the leaderboard to observe Han Xing. Unexpectedly, Han Xing challenged him directly. This caught him off guard. A mage player daring to provoke a Swordmaster, it was hard to say whether to call him bold or foolish.
“Mr. Tsuruta, I’m counting on you this time to show everyone just how strong the Luwha Guild is!”
The guild master of Luwha Guild, along with Izumino, had a confident smile on their faces. Han Xing dared to challenge Tsuruta Hayami, truly seeking his own demise.
Hayami Tsuruta smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my dual swords have never failed.”
Han Xing had certainly heard of Hayami Tsuruta’s reputation in his past life, but he had never had the opportunity to officially spar with him. It was a regret he carried with him.
However, now that he had this chance, Han Xing certainly didn’t forget about the members of the Mad Dragon Guild. He looked at One Sword Horizon and said, “Make sure to record the data properly later. This battle will be of great help to all you warrior players.”
One Sword Horizon and the other warrior players had already arrived. Many of them were sword users, but their sword techniques varied greatly.
Upon hearing that the guild master was going to duel with Hayami Tsuruta, a master like him, they didn’t want to miss out.
“Guild Master, do your best. Whether you win or lose doesn’t matter. Just make sure to drag out the fight a bit longer so we can see his moves!”
Han Xing couldn’t help but smile wryly at One Sword Horizon’s words. “Alright, I’ll try to prolong the battle as much as I can to make sure you get your fill!”
“But if you guys don’t improve, don’t blame me for not holding back..”
