Chapter 50: Overall control, the assassin queen
Therefore, if the ten contestants from the Assassin's Temple, including Cai'er, want to emerge as the top team in the group stage, they have to be the last person standing on the field.
Since this round was not a knockout round, most of the players on the field did not look as nervous as they did in the past few days, and some even looked quite relaxed.
After all, losing this round of competition will not affect their qualification for the subsequent finals.
Besides, after these days of competition and observation, these players know each other's strengths well and know whether they have a chance of getting the top three rewards in the preliminary round.
Following Ying Suifeng's order, the few people who had been lined up neatly in the middle of the arena, waiting for instructions, disappeared in an instant. Only Cai'er, who was leaning on a green bamboo stick and looking unmoved, was still standing there.
Considering that the profession of assassin is not suitable for fighting on the plains because there is no place to hide oneself, the Assassin's Temple also placed dozens of huge stone pillars of various shapes on the field, so that the players' hiding skills can be used as much as possible in this game.
"Cai'er..."
Ying Suifeng on the high platform was puzzled and scratched his head and asked, "What is she doing?"
"how could I know?"
Beside him, Sheng Yue shook his head and said, "This kid won't listen to anyone except Xing Yuan.
But from what I know about her, she probably won't come to participate in today's qualifying round. After all, the reward for first place isn't very generous, and she doesn't care what others think of her, let alone the ranking."
"Palace Master, what do you mean?"
Ying Suifeng was still a little confused. If it was really as Shengyue said.
Cai'er could have simply skipped the game today, and been disqualified for not showing up, and qualified as the tenth player of the Assassin's Temple. Anyway, she had already qualified for the finals and the qualification to be a member of the reserve Demon Hunter team.
Sheng Yue glanced at him and said, "I think the reason Cai Er came to participate in the competition today is because Xing Yuan asked her to come."
"This brat's words are so effective?"
Ying Suifeng's eyes widened when he heard this, but after a while he became worried again, "That won't do, Lord Palace Master.
I know you think highly of this guy, but you have to know that he is from the Magic Temple. We in the Assassin's Temple are not on the same page with those guys. If the Magic Temple knew about Cai'er, they would probably want to take advantage of her..."
For example, when the time comes, they will hold a grand wedding for Xingyuan and Cai'er, and then naturally make Cai'er a person who is loyal to their Magic Temple.
"If you can think of it, how can I not think of it?"
Otherwise, why is Shengyue the hall master and Ying Suifeng the deputy hall master? He had noticed this when he first discovered the deep relationship between Xingyuan and Caier.
However, he had been thinking about it for several years but had not come up with a good idea. He could only regret that he had not noticed Xingyuan earlier and cared about his great-granddaughter.
At the moment, in his opinion, there is no better way than to fight for the Star Source and make his heart turn to the Assassin's Temple.
Fortunately, Xingyuan grew up in the Exorcist City and was raised by the Sheng Lingxin and his wife. If we really talk about feelings, their feelings for him are deeper than those for the Magic Temple.
……
In the pitch-black arena, he crawled in a depression on a stone pillar, carefully concealing his breath, poked his head out, and secretly observed Cai'er who was still standing in the center of the arena without moving.
Number 21 couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed that the big sister wasn't going to make a move, so she gave us some time to decide the winner.
Except Cai'er, he was not the only one who thought so. The other nine contestants hid in the dark and observed secretly, fearing that their actions would attract the attention of the other party.
These people were really afraid of Cai'er and even gave her the nickname "Big Sister" behind her back. They even held their breath every time Cai'er entered the audience seats with a bamboo stick and walked past them.
However, just when everyone was relieved, thinking that they would have a chance to compete for the second and third place in the preliminary round, glorify the family, and get a pretty good prize...
Cai'er moved.
In just a blink of an eye, Cai'er, who was under the surveillance of everyone, disappeared, leaving only a green bamboo stick in the place, proving that she had indeed just started the action.
Without Cai'er's grip, the green bamboo stick was shaky and was tilting to one side under the influence of gravity...
However, there was someone who fell to the ground even faster than this green bamboo stick.
Assassin No. 26, who was short in stature and dressed in black all over, even the dagger in his hand was forged from a magical metal called black steel. He fell from the sky and smashed to the ground with a bang.
Although his internal spiritual power protected his internal organs, and his external spiritual power ensured that his skin was thick and tough so that he would not die on the spot if he fell from such a height, all the assassins present were familiar with human tissues and all of them were experts in anatomy.
How could one not hear how many bones the assassin No. 26 broke in this fall?
Of course, this was also why he hid on the highest stone pillar. Was it because the most dangerous place was the safest? But the leader of the people seemed to adopt the strategy of shooting the first bird to stick out.
The remaining eight contestants looked up at the same time and found Cai'er standing on the highest stone pillar, holding the blade with her backhand. Her facial expression could not be seen clearly because of the veil.
Cai'er didn't have the patience to wait for them to move slowly one by one, so she sped up the pace of the game by taking the initiative.
The hunt, she announced, had begun.
……
"Whoo~"
After a series of deceptions, Lin Xin finally defeated a fourth-order, ninth-level water magician.
Although spiritual power can be restored by swallowing pills, the loss of mental strength can only be slowly restored through meditation.
After all, it's not possible that as long as a magician has pills in hand, he can turn into a perpetual motion machine and produce endlessly as long as there are enough pills, right?
The water element's attribute restraint on the fire element is still too strong. Fortunately, Lin Xin's spiritual power is far greater than that of the opponent, and he managed to win the game.
Looking at Xing Yuan, who was so bored that he was refining pills and fiddling with bottles and jars in public in the audience, Lin Xin was speechless.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry. This is exactly what he means by his current situation.
He fought desperately on the field, and even exposed the secret that he did not know any offensive magic, and could only choose passive defense and wait until the opponent's spiritual power was exhausted to win.
Xingyuan, on the other hand, didn't even wear a magic robe, as if he was just here for the formality. In order to prevent others from knowing the secret of his practice of the three elements of earth, light and fire, he also asked him for fire to refine pills.
