Amid the cursing from the audience, the other teams had almost finished building their Interstellar Warships.
At eleven in the morning, a warship suddenly appeared above the planet where one of the teams was located.
The shining “Phoenix Skies Legend” symbol on the warship was particularly eye-catching.
Without another word, “Phoenix Skies Legend” launched a fierce attack on them in midair.
After a moment of panic, the team regained their senses and counterattacked.
However, at this moment, the warship in the air suddenly fled.
“Chase them! That warship must have used up most of its energy just now. As long as we catch up to them and launch a fierce attack, that warship will definitely sink.”
As that person spoke, the team drove their warship to give chase.
The fleeing warship appeared in the air above another team, catching them off guard. Then, they fled and were chased.
Half an hour later, the two warships that were pursuing the warship of “Phoenix Skies Legend” met in the galaxy.
The teams on the two warships didn’t say anything and launched fierce attacks on each other.
When the two teams had used up most of their energy, a warship hiding behind a huge meteorite suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on the two teams.
Boom!
A dazzling light wave instantly lit up the nearby Interstellar Field. Even the audience sitting in front of the screens felt dazzled by the light.
In the blink of an eye…
System Notification:
[Congratulations to team ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ for defeating both the ‘King of Satan’ and the ‘Bullfighter’ teams.]
Woah…
The entire Internet and all the players were shocked.
The discussions on the Internet broke new records.
The other players also began to pay attention to “Phoenix Skies Legend.”
“It seems that we have underestimated ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.’ Since they can defeat two teams at the same time, they must have used some kind of strategy.”
“I’ve seen the performance of the ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ during the Imperial Tournament. Among them, [Bai Ling] is very good at using the empire’s Thirty-six Stratagems. I even especially looked up the Thirty-six Stratagems because of it.”
“Since they’re using the Thirty-six Stratagems, we’ll use them too. I don’t believe that we can’t beat them with our results in Russia.”
…
While all the teams were remaining vigilant against the “Phoenix Skies Legend,” half of the three days had passed.
The interstellar war erupted.
Whenever two teams met, they would immediately start fighting.
The next afternoon, the “Phoenix Skies Legend” team that everyone was most concerned about had disappeared. No more news about them was revealed.
Only the audience knew that this team had gone to the planets without teams to fight bosses to gather all kinds of materials that were of use.
There was another wave of discussion on the Internet.
“What exactly is ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ trying to do? Why aren’t they fighting with the other teams and coming instead to these planets to fight the bosses?”
“I feel like I’ve guessed their goal.”
“I guessed as well.”
…
On the third day.
“Phoenix Skies Legend” encountered one of the legendary top five teams—the “Knight Squad.”
The “Knight Squad” team came from Russia and was famous for their captain’s commanding ability and for the five team members’ powerful operating abilities.
The moment the two teams met, they started fighting.
The audience sitting in front of the screen became excited.
“‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has actually encountered ‘Knight Squad’ from Russia. There’s going to be a good show to watch now.”
“Haha, it’s useless no matter what tricks ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ uses this time. I heard that the captain of the ‘Knight Squad’ is studying abroad in the empire and is very knowledgeable about the culture of the empire.”
“Tsk, that ‘Knight Squad’ move was good. They forced ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ into the live Meteorite Array.”
“Wow! ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ actually came out of the Meteorite Array. Who’s the person controlling the warship? Their techniques are too awesome.”
The two teams fought back and forth. After using all kinds of attacks, “Knight Squad” still had the upper hand.
The right wing of the “Phoenix Skies Legend” warship was hit. Just as the audience thought that “Phoenix Skies Legend” was about to lose…
After the “Phoenix Skies Legend” warship unleashed an energy cannon, it fled in a certain direction.
“Pfft, is ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ preparing to repeat the same trick? They don’t even look at which team they’re facing now.”
“I think ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ doesn’t have any moves other than fleeing.”
…
The people from the “Knight Squad” thought so too. They chased after them.
Unexpectedly, “Phoenix Skies Legend” had fled to the vicinity of an interstellar black hole.
Inside the “Knight Squad” team.
“Haha, I think ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has nowhere to go. To think they would escape to the vicinity of an interstellar black hole.”
“Why don’t we send their team back to the Novice Village?”
“Speaking of which, after players are sucked into the black hole, will they be sent back to the Novice Village?”
“You’ll know when you try.”
…
While everyone was discussing, “Phoenix Skies Legend” suddenly attacked the “Knight Squad” team first.
A gorgeous attack instantly filled the entire screen. The attack that “Phoenix Skies Legend” used no longer had a strategy. Instead, it was like a crazy person attacking the “Knight Squad” team by injuring eight hundred enemies and self-destructing a thousand.
“Are the players of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ crazy? If they fight like this, they will definitely lose.”
“This kind of energy-consuming method is simply courting death.”
“But this kind of playstyle seems to have really subdued the ‘Knight Squad’ team.”
“Why are the ‘Knight Squad’ team’s counterattacks getting weaker and weaker?”
“Ah, the ‘Knight Squad’ warship shook from the impact.”
“Did you notice that the attack power of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ hasn’t weakened even after so long? Could it be that they have inexhaustible energy?”
“So this is why ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ gathered a lot of energy before this. This is amazing!”
“Up until now, I can’t help but admire the foresight of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.'”
Half an hour later, amid a glaring light cannon, the “Knight Squad” warship was blown to pieces.
At the same time, there was a system message:
[Congratulations to team ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ for defeating ‘Knight Squad.’]
This time, everyone watching the match was so shocked that their mouths were agape and their eyes were wide open.
“Phoenix Skies Legend” didn’t even give them a chance to discuss. They actually went on to launch fierce attacks on another two teams immediately after.
At 11 am on the third day.
System Notification:
[Congratulations to ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ for defeating five teams. The first team has advanced to the finals.]
Woah…
“Heavens! I can’t believe this is real!”
“The team that we thought was the least likely to advance is the first to advance. This is a magical world!”
“Hahaha… Those who said that our Empire’s ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ team is weak, are your faces aching?”
“If ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ is a weakling, then what are the other teams?”
While the Empire’s netizens were retaliating, the other netizens remained silent.
At this moment, a commenter said, “I wonder if those who’d bet on ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ losing back then regret it now?”
As soon as this comment was out, many people became anxious. One could tell from looking at the bounty list in the underground market.
During the semi-finals, ten teams advanced to the final.
The grand finals will be held in three days.
At this time, one could tell how famous “Phoenix Skies Legend” was just by looking at the posts discussing them on the world web.
Before Chu Luo left the game, she suddenly received a friend request.
Chu Luo had turned off her friend requests long ago, but this friend request was sent by one of the participants and she saw it again.
Xie Minghai, who was sitting beside Chu Luo, turned his head just in time to see Chu Luo’s friend request. He was shocked.
“The captain of ‘Knight Squad,’ [Sir Battle Emperor], actually sent a friend request to Junior!”
When the others heard this, they immediately stood up.
“Why is [Sir Battle Emperor] adding Junior at this time?” Yu Lei rubbed his chin and guessed, “Surely he’s not indignant and wants to challenge Junior alone, right?”
Tang Zhiyun thought for a moment and said, “I heard that [Sir Battle Emperor] is an international student at Imperial University.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and added him as a friend.
A message from [Sir Battle Emperor] immediately came: “Hello, I’m very impressed with your combat strategy. Can you tell me what strategies you used during the battle with us?”
When they saw this message, they were stunned.
[Sir Battle Emperor]: “I know that this is very presumptuous, but my teammates and I are a little indignant after losing this battle. Please let us be convinced.”
“Sister Chu, don’t tell them. Let them suffocate to death.”
“Why don’t you just randomly make up something? What if he keeps bugging you?”
“Junior, make your own decision.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and typed on the dialog box while saying, “There’s nothing wrong with telling him. We didn’t use any strategies to attack them anyway.”
The five people standing behind her laughed when they heard this.
As for how the other party would react when he saw what Chu Luo typed, they had already guessed.
In the middle of the night, Chu Luo suddenly opened her eyes.
Phoenix’s voice rang out at the same time. “Mistress, a group of people has sneaked into the hotel. They don’t have good intentions.”
Chu Luo nodded, put on her clothes, and walked out calmly.
When she walked into the corridor, she thought for a moment, took out a talisman from the Heaven-and-Earth pouch, and stuck it outside the suite where Tang Zhiyun and the others were staying.
Then, she turned around and walked towards the protected stairs.
