Chapter 499

"It seems the Chief General thinks highly of this professional?"

As soon as he sat down, Lin Lao asked.

"Senior, just call me Li Yao. I do think highly of him, but that's all."

"Good, then I'll call you Li Yao," Lin Lao chuckled. "Then, in your opinion, can he qualify?"

"Ninety percent," Li Yao guessed conservatively.

An S-level professional is inherently qualified to reach the top ten.

Four platforms mean forty advancing professionals.

The Dragon Kingdom doesn't have that many SS-level professionals.

Plus Kong Kong Jiamu's combat ability, taking a spot in the top ten isn't difficult.

Everyone else doesn't think highly of him because he is currently entangled by several Magic Martial students.

But in his view,

it wouldn't be hard for Kong Kong Jiamu to persist.

As long as he shakes these people off, no one will waste energy attacking a loach again.

"It seems you think the same as I do," Lin Lao said, looking at Kong Kong Jiamu on the platform as if looking at a piece of unpolished jade.

"Master-level stage two spellcasting technique; among this group, the only ones who can steadily take him down are probably those professionals who participated in the border trial."

"Boom!"

Just at this moment,

a violent explosion sounded.

Intense energy surged out.

Everyone's attention fell on the battlefield between Ji Nie Yuan and Kujo Mirei.

"Oh? Aren't they acquaintances? Why not stop at a point of contact?"

Lin Lao was somewhat surprised.

Li Yao, however, felt it was very normal: "Both are arrogant people; stopping at a point of contact would be an insult to the other."

As he expected,

Kujo Mirei had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage.

Ji Nie Yuan believed Kujo Mirei still had the strength to turn the tables, so he didn't choose to stop.

And Kujo Mirei,

even less would she let the other party let her off just because they were acquaintances.

It would be one thing if it were others,

but with these two fighting, only one was destined to advance!

"Oh? Then who do you think will win?" Lin Lao asked curiously.

"Kujo Mirei," Li Yao said firmly.

If it were a minute ago, he would have said Ji Nie Yuan would win.

But now it was different.

He learned from Dean Shi that Kujo Mirei had broken through the 100th floor of the Monster Capture Tower.

The 100th floor would grant a highly targeted item.

He himself had received a bowl of spirit porridge.

It could instantly overdraft 100% of mana, but after one hour, it would lead to 24 hours of coma.

His current situation was: domain skills would consume a large amount of mana.

So he had come for this one-time item.

With Kujo Mirei's professional characteristics, her combat power was highly dependent on the Dragon Kingdom's summoned beasts.

If he wasn't mistaken,

on the battlefield,

Kujo Mirei took out a deep blue mirror

and said coldly:

"The first round of group battles doesn't restrict bound items."

"Ji Nie Yuan, I've lost this time,"

"but I have a reason why I must get this advancement spot!"

Ji Nie Yuan hoisted his spiked mace, his expression becoming solemn.

The vast majority of professional tournaments

did not restrict the use of bound items.

Bound meant it was obtained through one's own means and was part of one's strength.

Just for a preliminary round,

Kujo Mirei had actually taken out such an item.

Ji Nie Yuan didn't think the other party was doing something unnecessary.

Kujo Mirei had a reason she must win,

and he also had a reason he would never admit defeat!

"Enough talk, let's see whose fist is bigger!"

"Clang!"

The spiked mace slammed heavily onto the ground.

Even the indestructible special platform showed faint cracks.

A scarlet aura of bloodlust shot straight into the sky!

Even the few professionals chasing Kong Kong Jiamu couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

In an instant, a hideous scarlet giant beast enveloped the entire platform.

"Damn, is this Ji Nie Yuan's strength?"

Some children of noble families simply couldn't believe their eyes.

Was an aura of this level really from a professional of their same generation?

Qin Qin Xuejun saw this scene and sighed in annoyance.

"No way!"

"How did these two guys get matched together?"

"Is it necessary to get serious in the preliminary round?"

"Amitabha, so this is benefactor Ji Nie Yuan and benefactor Mirei."

"It would be better if they came for me; if either of them attacked me, I would definitely admit defeat immediately!"

Zhang Zhang Yucheng felt this aura, and his expression sank involuntarily.

Exposing his aura early,

when I fight him later, wouldn't Brother Ji be at a disadvantage?

No!

"Zheng!"

His long sword left its sheath!

A sharp edge soared into the sky on the No. 4 platform!

Zhang Zhang Yucheng released his sword intent without reservation.

The surrounding professionals were immediately startled.

"Brother, I've already admitted defeat, why are you still doing this?!"

"Yeah! You didn't draw your sword after fighting for so long, and now that the top ten list is determined, you're being so serious, I feel very insecure!"

Only Hunt Hunting Xixia, who was on the same platform as Zhang Zhang Yucheng,

slapped his forehead, his head full of black lines.

"This guy, isn't he a bit too single-minded?"

On another platform,

Hong Ling felt the momentum erupting from Ji Nie Yuan and Zhang Zhang Yucheng

and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, a burning fighting spirit ignited in her eyes.

Before obtaining the three epic-grade pieces of equipment, I was not their match.

But now!

Hong Ling looked at her long saber.

I have the strength to fight!

Below the spectator stand,

Lin Lao was somewhat dumbfounded.

The Zhang family and the Lin family had a close relationship.

Looking at the grandson of his long-time friend, Lin Lao didn't know what to say.

That kid Zhang Zhang Linfeng didn't seem to be this single-minded, right?

Who did this kid inherit this from?

Lin Lao glanced at Li Yao. "Now then, who do you think will win?"

"Kujo Mirei."
