Chapter 106: Chapter 106: All Madmen
Jiang Kai led the team onto the ring.
Huang Da stared at Jiang Kai the entire way, his eyes practically spitting fire.
Only when Jiang Kai stepped onto the ring did he finally grin viciously and say, "Jiang Kai, I've finally waited long enough for you. I was worried you wouldn't dare to come."
Hong Shuang had been staring at Jiang Kai. She tugged at Xia Tao's sleeve. "Brother Xia, is that Jiang Kai?"
Xia Tao was also focused on the situation on the ring. He nodded. "That's right. That kid's even grown taller. No mistake—it's him!"
On Lu Jun and Su Lanlan's side, they were already completely shocked.
"No way, Zhuzi and Nuannuan are both wearing second-tier gear? They… they've already reached Tier 2?"
"It's only been a little over a month!" Su Lanlan was stunned. "Why is it that no matter who follows him, the result is always completely different?"
At the same time, Professor Li had already given instructions to add a new evaluation target—precisely that short-haired boy.
Jiang Kai noticed that many eyes in the audience were fixed on his chest. He frowned slightly and whispered to the people behind him, "I told you, we need to make a guild emblem badge…"
Yuan Zhu frowned. "You're the guild leader, yet you didn't make one? Our guild doesn't even have role divisions—who's supposed to handle this?"
Ruan Yu said, "Other guilds have their emblems imprinted onto their outer armor. Just designing that costs thousands of star coins. If you want, I can take care of it when we get back."
"Spending thousands of star coins for a badge?" Jiang Kai immediately frowned, thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Just scribble it with a pen. It's still readable anyway."
After a brief discussion, they made an initial decision on the design of the Lord God Guild's emblem.
Huang Da narrowed his eyes. Jiang Kai actually ignored him.
"Jiang Kai, I'm talking to you!"
Jiang Kai slightly furrowed his brows, looked at Huang Da, and snorted coldly. "Just because you talk to me, I have to respond? You think too highly of yourself."
Huang Da sneered. "Jiang Kai, to be honest, I love your fearless attitude. The more defiant you are, the more satisfying it will be when I make you kneel and beg me!"
"You don't understand at all—there are only two outcomes for you. Either obediently accept the fate that matches your status and be my dog, or you're dead meat!"
"Not just you, but your entire family—same outcome! You people were never on the same level as me."
Jiang Kai looked at Huang Da playfully and scoffed. "Blah blah blah, what the hell are you even talking about?"
Last time, Huang Wei had also ranted in public, saying a whole bunch of nonsense. But Jiang Kai had instantly crushed him and responded with these exact words…
As one of the witnesses of that event, Huang Da instantly saw red when he heard that phrase.
His gaze was full of murderous intent, his nostrils flaring. He lowered his voice and said, "Alright, Jiang Kai. Still acting cocky, huh? Then I'll beat you until you submit!"
At that moment, a crisp bell rang across the ring.
Three military personnel walked to the center of the stage. One of them motioned for Jiang Kai and Huang Da to come over.
"Reiterating the rules of the team battle." The officer said, "Once the match begins, steel wire nets will rise around the ring, preventing anyone from leaving. During the match, surrendering is not allowed. The only way to win is to eliminate every member of the opposing team."
"Killing an opponent will generate sin value, but don't worry—we will provide the corresponding amount of Tears of Repentance to clear it."
Jiang Kai's eyes widened. "You guys have Tears of Repentance? Where'd you get them?"
The officer gave him a look. "You're here to compete, not to ask questions."
Realizing how ridiculous his question sounded, Jiang Kai immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing Jiang Kai behave, the officer continued, "The rules have been explained. Do both team captains understand?"
Jiang Kai and Huang Da nodded in unison. "Understood."
"Alright. Captains, return to your teams."
The officer glanced at his watch. "The 36th Guild Challenge, Team Battle F Group, First Match—countdown begins: Ten, nine… two, one, start."
The moment he announced the start, the officer swiftly turned and jumped off the ring.
At the same time, a steel wire net rose around the hundred-meter-wide ring.
The scene looked like a cage match.
On the battlefield, only Huang Da's Instant Kill Squad and Jiang Kai's Fire God Squad remained, standing at opposite ends of the ring.
As soon as the match started, Huang Da shouted, "Don't underestimate them. Stick to the pre-battle plan and act immediately!"
"Kill everyone except Jiang Kai—instantly!"
At his command, the five members of Instant Kill Squad sprang into action.
Three male fighters suddenly exploded forward, weapons appearing in their hands as they charged toward Fire God Squad with ferocious momentum.
Meanwhile, Huang Da and a female teammate flanked from the other side.
Their explosive speed and agile movements made it clear—they were incredibly strong.
As a team built specifically to compete in the Tier 2 tournament, every member of Huang Da's squad was a top-tier player.
The Instant Kill Squad split into two formations, lunging at Fire God Squad like hungry tigers.
It was worth noting that in lower-tier tournaments, medics couldn't heal mid-fight, so Instant Kill Squad had seemingly abandoned medics entirely—all five of them were pure combat classes.
On Fire God Squad's side, they immediately formed two rows.
Hu Yan, Ruan Yu, and Su Nuannuan stood in the back, while Yuan Zhu and Jiang Kai held the front.
"Jiang, t-they're coming!" Yuan Zhu saw the five approaching enemies and panicked, instinctively stepping back half a step.
In the audience, Yuan Zhu's former captain, Li Biao, and teammates Chen Yueling and Hua Ziyan were watching. Seeing his reaction, they all broke into a cold sweat.
"Zhuzi, don't chicken out!" Chen Yueling shouted anxiously. "Your strength isn't inferior to anyone's."
Li Biao pursed his lips tightly. Yuan Zhu's level had shocked him, but military evaluations weren't just about level. After all, levels could be boosted artificially.
Zhuzi's biggest problem was his cowardice.
Hua Ziyan frowned. "If Yuan Zhu doesn't get an A-rating this time, even the captain won't be able to keep him in the team. He has to step up."
At that moment, Yuan Zhu suddenly pulled out a liquor card and took a big swig…
Seeing this, Li Biao and the others were dumbfounded.
The audience gasped.
"What the hell? He's drinking? At a time like this?"
"Is he an alcoholic? Are you kidding me?"
Half a bottle down, the potent second-tier brew kicked in. Yuan Zhu immediately got drunk.
"Damn it, stop yapping! I, Yuan Zhu, am the world's GREATEST WAR GOD." He bellowed, his aura instantly skyrocketing.
He took a powerful step forward, standing in front of Jiang Kai, then burst into laughter at the Instant Kill Squad. "You guys are warriors too? Hahahaha! In my eyes, you're all trash!"
With that, Yuan Zhu charged straight at the three opponents.
The audience was dead silent.
Jiang Kai had a massive headache. "Looks like Zhuzi's in the zone…"
Before Jiang Kai could process that, another person suddenly dashed out from behind him, laughing maniacally.
Only… his target wasn't Huang Da.
It was the female warrior beside him.
"Ruan—" Jiang Kai reached out, but the guy was too fast—he couldn't stop him.
"I, Ruan Yu, will never be weaker than anyone in my life."
"…I told you to protect Nuannuan and Old Hu," Jiang Kai muttered in despair.
But Ruan Yu only had protective instincts after drinking. He had clearly just chugged a drink.
Yet instead of guarding his teammates, he completely forgot his job and charged at the female warrior.
The scene instantly became a mess.
"Such a beauty! Such a feast for the eyes! My dear, big bro is coming to love you." Ruan Yu shouted as he lunged at the woman.
The entire arena fell into dead silence.
After a long pause, Lu Jun muttered, "…Is everyone in Fire God Squad insane?"
