Heroes' Prison

Chapter 415 - 405 Rumors about Jian Feng Kuai

And the Heroes’ Guild did not bother with such niceties, adopting free combat instead, especially Huang Yi, the outlier. He charged forward, leading with a "Pursuit" and instantly cut into the range of Rwanda’s team.

"Scorched Earth!"

"End of the World!"

"Judgment!"

"Storm of Thunder Clouds!"

Huang Yi unleashed all four massive-area attacks in one breath, instantly enveloping the opposing team of five hundred, throwing their formation into disarray.

Huang Yi’s attack power was incredibly strong, and at Level 96, he was ranked first in the world, whereas the average level of these Rwandan players was only 87, a clear suppression of level. Immediately, everyone’s health dropped drastically.

"Priests, heal quickly!" the leader of the opposing team, Blessings in the Rain, commanded loudly in Rwanda’s native language.

Just as some priests raised their magic wands, chanting in preparation to heal, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, forcibly interrupting their healing skills!

This was exactly the effect of Huang Yi’s half-piece of epic equipment—Thunder Left Hand, which conjured a Storm of Thunder Clouds, lashing down one hundred lightning bolts per second, each with an extremely brief paralyzing effect, enough to interrupt skills.

With the priests’ healing delayed, a dangerous situation immediately arose on the field. Meanwhile, Rwanda’s audience, watching the live broadcast, all held their breath, anxiously watching the last team representing their country.

"All Ranged Class of the Heroes’ Guild, unleash a full burst barrage now!" At that moment, Huang Yi issued a command to the ranged players of the Heroes’ Guild.

"Boom!" All the ranged players of the Heroes’ Guild instantly obeyed and unleashed a volley of focused fire, a dense barrage of Skill Radiance that covered the sky and hammered down on the opponents.

In an instant, the enemy’s team of five hundred had lost almost half its players.

The gap between the two teams was immediately evident.

Seeing this situation, the Rwandan team captain, Blessings in the Rain, turned pale, but before he could issue any commands, another wave of ranged attacks from the Heroes’ Guild fell, and another group of their team members went down.

The Heroes’ Guild had seized an absolute advantage, Huang Yi’s four massive-area abilities had played a decisive role, immediately establishing the upper hand. The scene was now one of chaos, with magma, poisonous miasma, and thunder filling the air, as if doomsday had arrived.

"Spread out, don’t bunch up! Counter-attack! Counter-attack!" Blessings in the Rain bellowed out, hastily issuing a strategy.

The members of the Rwandan team immediately dispersed, dodging the Heroes’ Guild’s group attacks, and several ranged players also launched counterattacks, which landed within the Heroes’ Guild’s range.

Seeing this, Huang Yi also gave a targeted command: "Assassin Group, go!"

As his voice fell, several players dressed in tight gear, whose movements were swift and silent, suddenly burst out from within the five hundred members of the Heroes’ Guild, charging at high speed toward the enemy team.

They were the elite from the Assassins’ Hall, the earliest established among the seven halls of the Hero Guild, led by the Four Great Assassins of China, Nameless and Mirror Broken. A group of assassins, amidst the overshadowing Skill Radiance, stepping on magma, appeared and disappeared unpredictably through the green Plague miasma, and in an instant, they broke into the enemy’s ranks.

After that, sinister flashes of daggers lit up, and with each strike, another person fell to the ground dead.

Meanwhile, the ranged classes of the Heroes’ Guild still maintained a relentless offensive, rendering the enemy virtually powerless to fight back.

Gradually, more and more of their opponents died, until finally only about a hundred remained. At this point, they fought without any semblance of order; some even fled far away to temporarily escape the onslaught of attacks.

"Knights, warriors, pursue the enemy!" Huang Yi issued another command, his tone very relaxed. With the battle progressing to this point, they had essentially won.

After that, it didn’t take much effort for the Heroes’ Guild to quickly finish the fight and smoothly advance to the next round. The competition for the fiercely contested fifth elimination round was coming up, where 1024 teams would be whittled down to the final 64. They were about to meet some tough nuts to crack.

The battle had no sooner ended than Huang Yi and the entire Heroes’ Guild were teleported out, appearing in the assembly square in front of Dragon Capital City Hall.

"Big Brother, all of our guild members have finished their matches now." Just then, the long-waiting Director of Affairs, Yi Feng, hurried to Huang Yi’s side and started reporting on the guild’s overall performance in the tournament; he was the person in charge of this martial contest for the Heroes’ Guild.

"What’s the situation now?" Huang Yi asked expectantly. He didn’t know how many people and teams from the Heroes’ Guild had made it into the top 1024.

Yi Feng became serious and reported, "This time, with a united spirit and concerted effort, the Heroes’ Guild had a good showing in the competition. In the individual matches, including you, our guild has 12 members who entered the top 1024 in the world. In the team matches, we have 7 teams in the top 1024."

"Who are the 10 individuals in the individual matches, besides me?" Huang Yi asked with keen interest. Having 11 people make it into the top 1024 accounted for 1% of the total on a global scale, which was a decent achievement.

Yi Feng listed them like a family treasure, "These 11 heroes are mostly senior members. Besides you, Big Brother, there is Xiao Chunzi, Vice President Qin Shiyu, Battlefield Group Leader Sunset, Dungeon Group Leader Knight, Head of the Assassins’ Hall, Nameless, Head of the Mage Hall, Light Demon, Chief Arcane Mage of the Mage Hall, Solitary Mage, Head of the Knight Hall, Supreme Overlord Flame, Head of the Exotic Warriors’ Hall, Ghost Cloud’s Words, and the High Priest, Prideful Death God." Yi Feng’s expression became slightly strange as he spoke. "There’s one more person, who is rather special. He is a common player, of a common race and common class. We didn’t pay much attention to him before, but somehow he made a surge upward."

"Oh? Really? Who is this person?" Huang Yi’s interest peaked. The earlier mentioned people were guild leaders, inherently of a rare class and equipped with the finest gear, almost all possessed legendary equipment. It was not surprising for them to break into the top 1024 in the world, even for a player like Xiao Chunzi, who was just over level 50, as Nefalem’s Bloodline could make up for the difference. But for a common player to do so was extremely odd.

"That common player’s name is Jian Feng Kuai. It seems he only recently joined our guild, less than two months ago. You certainly don’t know him. Shall I call him over now for you to meet, Big Brother?" Yi Feng asked.

"Quick Spike? Is that the young warrior?!" Huang Yi blurted out in astonishment.

"Big brother, you actually know him? He is indeed a warrior." Yi Feng nodded, staring at Huang Yi unexpectedly, not understanding why he would recognize an ordinary player. With over ten million members in the Hero Guild, the chance of Huang Yi recognizing this ordinary player was practically nonexistence.

"Speaking of which, it was I who recommended him to join," Huang Yi said with a smile, his gaze growing slightly profound as a memory from nearly two months earlier surfaced in his mind.

Two months ago, he had faced a hundred Holy Domain warriors sent by the Half-Beast Holy Land, later releasing a group of criminals to kill off those Holy Domain warriors.

At that time, the whole world said he had caused a huge disaster, acting rashly without knowing how to bide his time. Later, on the streets of Tiantai City, he chanced upon a fan of his—a young warrior. At that time, the young man’s friend was also saying that Huang Yi was undoubtedly going to die next, and the young man had an argument with his friend. Afterwards, Huang Yi had a chat with the young warrior and learned his name was Quick Spike.

Though their conversation that day was short, Quick Spike believed with absolute certainty that Huang Yi could escape the Pursuit of the Half-Beastmen—an unshakable trust, bordering on blind adoration. He always struggled tirelessly, taking Huang Yi as his role model, with a relentless belief in never giving up, which subtly resembled Huang Yi himself.

This incident had deeply moved Huang Yi, and he hadn’t forgotten it to this day. Later, he learned that the young man had the skill but lacked a good Race Class and equipment and even failed to meet the requirements to join the Hero Guild. Huang Yi recommended that he try again at Dragon City, and through the convenience of the guild leader, he was able to join the Hero Guild.

Since then, Huang Yi hadn’t paid much attention to him anymore, but now, to his surprise, the guy had suddenly erupted onto the scene, shocking everyone.

"Big brother is truly discerning! You’ve actually brought in such a talented individual," Yi Feng remarked with a hint of admiration, "After Quick Spike advanced into the top 1024, I specifically looked into his information and was completely astounded by him. After joining our guild, he worked extremely hard, with virtually no record of leisure activities—just focused on Level Grinding, diligently earning Contribution Points for equipment, and actively joining teams to enter instances; the guy has an incredibly driven spirit."

Yi Feng continued with an even more respectful tone, "What’s more important is that he’s highly skilled, having mastered the essence of a Common Warrior Class and created his own unique style. He is a member of the Instance Group under the Knight, originally belonging to an ordinary team with a numbering in the thousands, but in just two months, he has rapidly advanced to the ’Sword of the Hero’ second Instance Group—which, besides the Seed Instance Group personally commanded by the Knight, is the best team we have in our guild. This time, Quick Spike’s participating team also comes from our Seed Team and is the best team other than the Heroes’ Guild team, which also made it into the top 1024."

"This guy is a great talent!" Huang Yi, after listening to Yi Feng, couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. He stroked his chin and said, "Transfer him to my Heroes’ Guild. Also, pick out the best set of equipment from our Guild Warehouse for him, along with a few auxiliary Treasures, and give him a few Warrior Skill Books, too. We need to boost his strength in the shortest time possible. For the next few team competitions, I’ll keep an eye on his performance. Our guild has never had a formal Warrior Hall Master—only several acting ones—and it’s not ideal to leave that position vacant. If he’s suitable, let him take that seat. As long as someone has talent, they should be utilized." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with your Recommendation Ticket or Monthly Tickets at qidian.com.
