Chapter 143: Chapter 142: Summoning the Dragon, Infinite Guild Cornered!
"A Legendary Class?"
What Zhang Yue said left everyone present in shock.
Although above "Legendary" lies "Mythic," even becoming a Legendary-class professional is exceedingly rare. Since the Arrival of the Otherworld, no nation has birthed more than a handful of Legendary-class individuals.
Wu Haotian exclaimed in disbelief, "Does our Dragon Nation have any Legendary-class professionals right now?"
"Apparently not~" Ouyang Ling'er also appeared puzzled. "So where did this Legendary-class Sword Emperor come from?"
Zhang Yue's gaze stayed fixed on the silver-armored warrior in the video, as though seeing an old acquaintance, stirring countless ripples in his heart...
At this moment, Lin Tian said, "There are seven days left until the National Challenge. This time, we have ample preparation time. We can take this opportunity to expand our guild properly."
"Yes, exactly," Ouyang Ling'er analyzed a webpage in front of her, pondering aloud. "Currently, our guild's performance isn't bad. With just the five of us, Heavens Hall has already entered the provincial top thirty. If we recruit five more people of our level, our performance could double."
Seeing Zhang Yue in deep thought, Ouyang Ling'er teased, "Guild Leader, are you thinking of recruiting him into Heavens Hall? After all, he's a freelance player with no guild."
Zhang Yue sighed softly, "The thought is there, but without a way to contact him, it's pointless."
Suddenly, Ouyang Ling'er patted her modest chest with confidence. "Leave it to me. I'm a genius girl."
"I can find his contact info, but I need a computer for it. Given the current limitations, I'll take care of it after I log out next time."
"Sounds good!" Wu Haotian glanced at Ouyang Ling'er and quipped, "Finally, you're being useful for once—not just freeloading."
"Shut up! You're the freeloader."
As they bickered, Tian Xin'er and Su Jinyan hurried over from behind. These two stunning beauties, wherever they went, always drew the attention of onlookers.
Tian Xin'er ran straight to Zhang Yue with a smile. "Zhang Yue, I brought you something."
"What is it?"
Tian Xin'er retrieved a set of equipment from her storage space and handed it to Zhang Yue. "Here, it's for you."
Before Zhang Yue could examine it, Ouyang Ling'er and Wu Haotian widened their eyes.
"No way! The Full Gold Dark Set? A level 35, 4-star gold-tier set like this is worth at least eight figures on the market."
"As expected of the Tian family's young miss, truly loaded."
While others envied him, Zhang Yue declined Tian Xin'er's gift. "Thanks, but no thanks."
"It's no big deal." Tian Xin'er thought Zhang Yue was just embarrassed and said, "Just treat it as a gift between friends. Besides, didn't you authorize me to enter the Gate of Hell yesterday? I haven't even thanked you properly for that yet."
Tian Xin'er had no idea Zhang Yue refused because he already possessed equipment superior to the Dark Set.
"I don't need to change my equipment for now."
Hearing this, Tian Xin'er put away the Dark Set. "Alright~ If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Zhang Yue's situation drew envy from bystanders.
"If it were me, I'd marry Tian Xin'er tomorrow. Where else can you find a girlfriend this pretty and rich?"
"This guy Zero is amazing in every way, except he's an unyielding straight guy. Sigh…"
Meanwhile, amidst the crowd, a pair of eyes kept staring at Zhang Yue and Tian Xin'er. Watching them chat and laugh together, Ling Ke'er clenched her fists, too angry to speak.
At that moment, Ling Ke'er received a Feixin Message from [Glory Firmament]: "Miss, the expert your father invited from Hidden Dragon Mountain has arrived at Linhai City."
"Have them log in and come to the Fifth World immediately."
"Understood, I'll arrange it at once."
Ling Ke'er glared at the gradually disappearing Zhang Yue and Tian Xin'er, crossed her arms, and sneered. "Just you wait, Tian Xin'er. Soon, you won't have anything to laugh about."
Soon, Zhang Yue and his team arrived at the Gate of Hell.
Reality confirmed Zhang Yue's suspicion: granting unlimited authorization to professionals to enter the Gate of Hell wasn't feasible.
This authorization refreshed daily, meaning it had to be renewed each day to allow other professionals entry.
After authorizing all eight people present, Zhang Yue asked, "Where are those two from Infinite Guild?"
Tian Xin'er replied, "They said the higher-ups are holding a meeting about the Provincial Tournament, so they'll be late. Let's head in first."
Without waiting for Infinite Phantom and Infinite Sword Saint, Zhang Yue and his team stepped into the Gate of Hell.
———
[Dawn Sanctuary]
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
As white light descended en masse, Infinite Guild's professionals logged in one after another.
At the forefront, Infinite Sword Saint checked the time and grumbled, "Damn it! That meeting dragged on forever with pointless nonsense. We missed farming the Dark Set."
Infinite Phantom sighed. "I wonder if Zero will still authorize us."
Just then, Tian Xin'er sent a Feixin Message: "Let me know when you're at the Gate of Hell. Zhang Yue said he'd come out to authorize you."
Hearing this, Infinite Phantom felt a surge of gratitude and replied, "Miss, please thank Zero for his magnanimity on my behalf…"
Recalling their past conflicts with Zhang Yue, Infinite Sword Saint also felt remorseful. "I really messed up back then."
With that, Infinite Phantom and Infinite Sword Saint rushed toward the Gate of Hell, followed closely by the rest of Infinite Guild.
Though they couldn't enter the Gate itself, they could still grind in nearby areas and complete world missions.
However, before they got far from the safe zone, they were ambushed by a large group of professionals.
Seeing the IDs of their attackers, Infinite Sword Saint exclaimed, "Glory Firmament?"
"Looks like they're here for revenge over what happened two days ago when we helped Zero against them," Infinite Phantom said grimly. "Everyone, prepare to engage."
At Infinite Phantom's command, over a hundred Infinite Guild members readied themselves for battle.
In less than ten seconds, the professionals from Glory Firmament charged at them with overwhelming force, and the two sides clashed fiercely.
Following Infinite Phantom's command, the rear ranks of the Infinite Guild, numbering a full five hundred professionals, one after another grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle.
In the next moment, more than a hundred professionals from the Glory Guild on the opposing side, without saying a single word, charged in with overwhelming momentum.
From the time both sides encountered each other to now, not even ten seconds had passed before a fierce battle erupted directly.
At the Glory Guild's rear.
Ling Ke'er crossed her arms, her cold gaze quietly observing the battlefield ahead.
At this time, Glory Firmament, standing beside her, spoke with some concern: "Miss, the experts we invited from Hidden Dragon Mountain haven't arrived yet. Starting a fight with them now—could it be too hasty?"
"Even without the experts my father invited from Hidden Dragon Mountain, your prestigious Glory, one of the three great families of Tianjing, can't defeat a mere guild from Zhening Province?" Ling Ke'er responded indifferently.
"The strength of the Infinite Guild, compared to our Glory Guild, is naturally far inferior," Glory Firmament replied. "However, we don't have many people here in Linhai—only about a hundred. Meanwhile, the Infinite Guild has five times our numbers. Fighting like this will inevitably cause heavy losses for our guild..."
"Then hold them off for me until the people from Hidden Dragon Mountain arrive." Ling Ke'er, completely disregarding the casualties of the Glory Guild, was only concerned with her own satisfaction. "The Infinite Guild dared to provoke me; they'll have to pay the price."
Glory Firmament dared not defy the young lady's orders and had no choice but to brace himself and launch the attack.
The gap between a top-tier province's three great families and a second-tier province's leading guild was still significant.
Even though the Infinite Guild, compared to the Glory Guild, possesses an enormous numerical advantage.
However, on the battlefield, the casualty rate of the former is still twice that of the latter.
This means for every two people from the Infinite Guild that die, only one person from the Glory Guild dies.
If both sides had the same number of people, Infinite would certainly only end up being abused by Glory.
On the field, the Infinite Guild, relying on their numerical advantage, fiercely suppressed Glory in one wave.
As the Holy Sword Warrior, Infinite Sword Saint, raised his sword and brought it down, he killed a Glory Guild assassin under his blade.
He couldn't help but sigh: "The Glory Guild really is confident, daring to fight us with so few people."
Over here, Glory Firmament, seeing the unfavorable situation, hurriedly said to Ling Ke'er: "Miss, if this goes on, we're going to face total annihilation..."
"Trash! A bunch of useless things. You can't even deal with a little Infinite Guild." Ling Ke'er angrily stomped her foot. "I really don't know why my father recruited you into the guild—you're not even as good as raising a pack of dogs."
Glory Firmament gritted his teeth, daring to feel anger but not daring to speak.
At this moment, Glory River sent a message: "Miss, we've arrived."
Seeing this message, Ling Ke'er finally regained a trace of smugness, her gaze filled with disdain as she looked at the people from the Infinite Guild in front.
"Hmph, your end has come."
