Chapter 773 - The Fifth Candidate
Chapter 773: The Fifth Candidate
Huang Xiaoyu’s obsession was that he needed to study an array whenever he sees one. He would not stop unless he managed to draw it out. While he was young, he was a genius when it came to arrays.
Jiang Feng had drawn several arrays to entice Huang Xiaoyu.
While that made him quite the schemer, it was the best way to get Huang Xiaoyu to join his team.
Before Huang Xiaoyu observed all these arrays, he then swept them all away with his sword. All the arrays that he drew before this had disappeared!
“What are you doing?! Who told you that you can erase them!” When Jiang Feng swept away all the arrays, Huang Xiaoyu became so anxious and angry that tears were about to fall.
“Do you want to see the arrays that I drew before this?” Jiang Feng smiled as he looked at Huang Xiaoyu who was about to cry at this point.
“Yes!” Huang Xiaoyu forced his tears back.
“Join my team. After each tournament, I’ll draw an array for you. If I’m feeling generous, I’ll draw a few for you as well. How does that sound?”
He was already fully confident that he could have Huang Xiaoyu join his team. He was not worried that he would reject it at all since he had already captured Huang Xiaoyu’s weakness.
“Alright, I’ll join you! But you have to give me one array now!” In order to be able to study the arrays, Huang Xiaoyu did not hesitate to agree to join Jiang Feng’s team. He then took out a beast pelt and gave it to Jiang Feng.
Next, the brush in his arms slowly shrank into the size of a normal brush. He then gave it to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng then took the pelt and the brush and began to draw the Sword Chi Array that he drew at the very beginning on the pelt.
Huang Xiaoyu smiled when he had an array’s template. He then took back the brush and began to study the pelt in his hands.
After Huang Xiaoyu joined them, they already had four people in their team. They still needed an assassin-type elite.
“Do any of you know any assassin-type elites?” Jiang Feng asked the three of them.
Huang Xiaoyu stayed home most of the time. And now that he was studying an array, he did not care what he had to say. Meanwhile, both Wanke and Sus shook their heads.
“Then that’s going to be troublesome. We still need one more!”
Most of those in this team had power above Earth Realm Five Stars and they were quite balanced. However, if they were to look for a Heaven Realm elite, they would not pay them any attention, and might even scoff at them.
They needed to find someone who was at a similar power level. Then, it would be easier for them to synchronize with each other during battle, and there would not be anyone among the members who would feel as if they were better than the others.
“Come on, let’s walk around the streets together and see if we can meet anyone suitable!” Without any options left, all he could do was test his luck by going to Xingyue City’s city center.
However, his luck had always been quite good. He needed a powerful teammate now, he wondered if the Goddess of Luck would help him once again.
As soon as he had five people in his team, he could then go to the Secret Maps.
Within the Great World of Tianji, there were still a few Secret Maps that had not disappeared because their ultimate treasures had not yet been found. They could still enter and search the map.
Sus told him about it earlier when they were having a chat. That was why he was in a rush to gather a five-man team so that he could try his luck at the secret map.
While Huang Xiaoyu was a native and Xingyue City was his hometown, there were not many things at his home. There was also nothing that he needed to bring with him, and so he immediately left with Jiang Feng.
The four of them took a carriage and went back to the city center.
It was at this time when the sky had darkened. Jiang Feng was also feeling quite hungry. He then said to everyone, “All of you must be quite hungry, I guess I’ll treat you all to dinner.”
After that, he then led all three of them into the Xingyue Pavilion.
“I didn’t expect that someone who has just caught up with us would be so rich,” Sus said in a surprised tone when he saw that Jiang Feng was leading them to the Xingyue Pavilion.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Feng did not quite understand. How was he seen as being wealthy by just buying them dinner?
“Xingyue Pavilion is a restaurant that is managed by all the five factions in Xingyue City. The food is quite delicious, but it’s especially expensive. However, everyone that eats there can obtain points according to how much they spend. If their points are high enough, they can then either gain a Silver Card, a Gold Card or a Diamond Card. With the Silver Card, they can go to the training room in the Xingyue Pavilion and read the experiences some experts have written down. With a Gold Card, they can obtain an Upper-Earth Secret Manual. With a Diamond Card, they can then join the Treasure Tradeshow!” Sus explained to Jiang Feng.
“Hoho, these factions really knew how to do business. Who are these factions?” Jiang Feng asked.
“The five factions were Jialan Squadron from Planet Jialan, Norm Squadron from Planet Norm, Tianya Squadron from Earth…”
“Wait, how did you know that the Tianya Squadron came from Earth?” Jiang Feng had been hiding which planet he was from all this while. He did not expect that Sus already knew about Earth.
“Huh? The system announced it. There is a screen outside of Tianji Hall and it lists all the faction squadrons within Xingyue Area as well as which planet they are from.” Sus did not understand why Jiang Feng would ask him such a question.
Jiang Feng, “…”
When he had just arrived, he was already shocked by Zhou Botong and the others’ appearance, so he was not aware of the notice board.
If that was true, then there was no point in hiding his origin planet. Since many people heard his conversation with Zhou Botong. They all knew he was from Earth.
Next, Sus explained to him the other two factions.
The fourth was Nebula Cloud Squadron from the Twin-Cloud Planet.
The fifth was the Battle Dragon Squadron from the Battle Dragon Planet.
All five of them were the most powerful factions within the Xingyue Planet. As for the other squadrons, they were all the most powerful teams representing their planets. Since there were many teams within each faction, they would naturally choose the most powerful one to represent them.
However, Jiang Feng did not expect that Earth’s faction would be in the top three in Xingyue Area. He was quite surprised.
Why did Lord God Ling Luo say that Earth would be at a disadvantage or be completely destroyed in the tournament between planets? While there were not many members on Earth, they were all elites. Even if they were to fight, just one of them could easily defeat a bunch of normal players.
The reason that Lord God Ling Luo might say that was because even she did not know that there were still Earthlings within the Great World of Tianji and they were all quite powerful.
The other possibility was that there were others much more powerful than these elites. And there were plenty of them too. Despite them being in the top in Xingyue Area, they were nothing but fodders when facing enemies much more powerful than them.
Seriously! This was so difficult! He just wanted to play a game, there was no need to make it so enigmatic!
He was already quite clear with the Divine Dominion’s history, but now that he had entered the Great World of Tianji, he felt like there were many layers of mystery in front of him.
He was too lazy to think about them at the moment. He entered the Xingyue Pavilion after saying to the others, “Whatever. Let’s go have something first. I have the money, so no need to hold back.”
Indeed, he was quite rich. He had just won 2.5 million gold pieces from Tian Chong. He had the money to at least treat everyone to a meal.
“Kalosi, what did you just say? You want out? Think about it carefully. If you have only joined our squadron for less than a year, you would need to pay the default penalty of 5 million. You sure you have that much money? If you cannot pay us, or are unwilling to party up with them and fight in the Secret Maps or Tournament, you will be left behind for a year!”
As soon as he entered the Xingyue Pavillion, Jiang Feng encountered Kalosi who was just about to leave. Behind him was a handsome man, and he said to him in anxiety.
Kalosi? Just like Li’er, she was from the Night-Cat Planet. She was an assassin-type elite, the type that Jiang Feng needed right now.
When he recalled what the handsome man said to Kalosi, he smiled as he began to scheme on how to drag Kalosi into his team.
