Chapter 636: Rookie Tournament (17)

A little over an hour.

Zhao Chi hadn't slept at all.

Not only had he not recovered, he had even expended quite a bit.

But fortunately, the fighting mainly relied on Qi Yue and the others.

Zhao Chi was now only playing a supporting role.

Qi Yue also hadn't slept.

For that little over an hour, she had been utterly happy and utterly excited the entire time.

But Qi Yue's personality was rather introverted.

She spoke very little.

She simply clung to Zhao Chi and wouldn't leave.

Zhao Chi was quite willing, of course — after all, with a beauty like Qi Yue, he let her snuggle against him for a full hour.

However, Zhao Chi hadn't wasted the time either.

Since Qi Yue was certainly unable to sleep, and her mood value was off the charts right now,

then… adding a few more Blissful Berserk energy points was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?

"Really? Of course I have no problem! I was afraid it would drain you too much, so I never brought it up."

Qi Yue gladly agreed.

"But your wounds…"

"What does that matter? Let me do it!"

Qi Yue was extremely proactive.

This time it erupted within her body, but although the inherited gene was already gone, it still hadn't allowed Qi Yue to comprehend the Inherited Berserk skill.

It only added 6 points to her Blissful Berserk energy.

In a state of excellent mood, Qi Yue's physical condition was also very good, making it easy to reach the threshold for energy increase.

In such a state, she naturally no longer covered her mouth.

She let her soft, gentle voice spread throughout the entire territory.

Gu Qing and Tang Ruan exchanged a smile.

"Tang Ruan, you're the same way."

"Ah? No way? Am I really that exaggerated?" Tang Ruan found it a little hard to believe.

Gu Qing laughed and said, "You usually look so well-behaved, but once my lord arouses you, you can't think of anything else either."

Tang Ruan bit her lip and nodded: "I didn't expect I was like that, but Sister Gu, you're even more exaggerated than Qi Yue is right now."

"How could that be?" Gu Qing hadn't expected Tang Ruan to say such a thing.

"It's true…" Tang Ruan said with a light laugh.

"Sigh… actually I can't control myself either." Gu Qing sighed, accepting this fact.

2:58 PM.

All the female soldiers were in high spirits, standing on the open ground in front of the lord's residence.

Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue stood at the very front.

Qi Yue's face was like peach blossoms, her excited state continuing all the while.

Although it had decreased a little now, her energy cap was still +230%, and her mood was still +175%.

Still very high.

【The Top 4 Qualifier is about to begin. Teleportation will commence shortly. Please prepare yourself.】

The scene before his eyes shifted.

He appeared once again on the enormous battlefield.

The surrounding walls still towered into the clouds.

This time the cheers could already be heard.

But they still weren't very clear, like muffled thunder in the distance.

Yet the host's voice was perfectly clear.

"Dear friends.

"The Top 4 Qualifier of Battlefield 2 is about to begin.

"There are now only the last 3 rounds of competition left. If you haven't placed your bets yet, please do so soon.

"The Rookie Tournament is held only once a year — don't miss this final chance.

"Next, let me introduce two outstanding contestants.

"Actually, you probably all know them well already, so I don't really need to introduce them.

"But there are some newcomers, so I'll still give a brief introduction.

"On the left is Lang Hu from South Valley Village.

"His chosen race is Tigerfolk.

"Tigerfolk are a very well-rounded race — in human form they can produce, and in tiger form they are extremely strong in combat.

"Among composite-form races, they're considered a very strong one.

"His previous battles truly made people shout with excitement.

"I wonder if this time he can still tear through his opponents and advance to the Top 4!

"The contestant on the right is Zhao Chi from Stream Village.

"Haha, just listen to those cheers and you'll know everyone should already recognize him.

"Although Zhao Chi's race is nothing special, all the troops he uses are masked female soldiers.

"Right now everyone is busy guessing the reason, but our attention should still shift to the battle.

"Zhao Chi's combat strength is plain for all to see. At the start, plenty of people must have bet on the wrong side and lost their stake.

"But those who kept backing him could rake in a fortune.

"I wonder whether he can win again against Lang Hu's Tigerfolk?"

"Alright, enough talk — our semifinal qualifier begins now!"

Another wave of cheers.

This time he heard it more clearly.

The air wall vanished.

Zhao Chi gave the order: "Everyone listen up. Our opponent this round is Tigerfolk. Fight according to the plan we just laid out. A Tigerfolk's combat power can be gauged from the ghouls — extremely strong, so don't get careless. Good, activate skills and advance!"

"Yes!"

Light blazed.

All the female soldiers received a massive boost.

"Qiyue." Zhao Chi called out to her specifically.

"Yes~ my lord~"

Qiyue answered with a smile, her eyes likewise brimming with mirth.

Zhao Chi said, "Don't charge out on your own. Follow the main force."

"Okay~ I understand~"

Zhao Chi worried she was too worked up right now and might lose control and charge out first.

But Qiyue seemed to be in fine shape — Zhao Chi appeared to be worrying a little too much.

Not long after they advanced, Zhao Chi suddenly heard a cold male voice.

"Zhao Chi, I'm glad I can cross swords with you here. We can have more exchanges in the future too."

Zhao Chi immediately realized it was Lang Hu's voice.

A proper greeting… how rare.

So he sent a voice message as well: "Long time no see, Lang Hu. Let's have more exchanges in the future."

Lang Hu said nothing more.

Although he was very polite, the fight would still be fought as it should be.

Five minutes later, they burst out of the forest.

No trace of the Tigerfolk was to be seen.
