After purchasing the Green Water Ghost formula, Jiang Kai also bought the materials according to the recipe.

Compared to the formula, the materials were much easier to obtain.

Back at the guild's base, Su Nuannuan immediately dove into her room, seemingly to study the Green Water Ghost.

It's just unclear when Nuannuan will master this poison.

...

In the following matches, the Fire God Squad didn't encounter any particularly strong opponents. After all, teams like Instant Kill, which have the strength to compete for rankings, are rare, with only one or two in a group.

Moreover, Fire God encountered two teams that forfeited midway.

Five days later, the Fire God Squad smoothly secured first place in Group F and successfully advanced to the final 16!

While checking the match information, Jiang Kai discovered that their next opponent was none other than the Falcon Squad Four of Basalt!

Basalt's Falcon Squad Four, currently with a full team of five, is led by Xu Feixiang.

Hu Yan remarked, "Falcon's strength is formidable. Within Basalt, they are the elite of the elite! Kai, although Instant Kill is also a strength reserved by Basalt for the guild challenge, similar to Falcon Squad Four, their practical combat ability is actually not as good as a team like Falcon."

Nuannuan agreed, "The people in Instant Kill are mostly the children of high-ranking officials in Black Tortoise Military Engineering. They have strong professions, talents, and equipment, but Falcon is selected from many strong contenders through extensive practical combat! They rely not only on strong talents and equipment but have much more combat experience than Instant Kill. After long-term battles, their team members often possess strong on-the-spot adaptability and teamwork skills."

"Even if Instant Kill's past performance was better than Falcon's, everyone knows that it was just Falcon holding back."

"Also, Xu Feixiang's personal ability is very strong, especially his skill in evasion!"

Jiang Kai nodded slightly, remembering that Nuannuan knew Xu Feixiang, so her information should be accurate.

Being able to advance with a full team of five through the group stage indeed proves that this Falcon Squad is not to be underestimated.

Moreover, among the remaining 16 teams, there are two more from Basalt. He believes that Huang Tong won't be so obedient as to not cause trouble for him.

This Falcon Squad might be the last Basalt team he encounters, and with the Huang family's vengeful nature, they might take action!

That evening, Jiang Kai found Nuannuan alone.

"Nuannuan, I've seen you researching the Green Water Ghost these past few days. How's it going?"

Su Nuannuan smiled slightly and took out a small glass bottle from her pocket, containing some dark green powder.

"You've already made it?" Jiang Kai exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, did you forget I have the Three Parts Poison talent?" Su Nuannuan said proudly.

Then, Su Nuannuan looked at Jiang Kai and tentatively asked, "Are you planning to use poison in the next match?"

Jiang Kai thought for a moment and nodded, "If I were Huang Tong, given his personality, he wouldn't miss the chance to trip me up. But they probably can't do much to me now, so I suspect they might target you guys."

"Especially you!" Jiang Kai emphasized, "Without you, facing such a tight schedule of matches, we wouldn't be able to hold on!"

If Su Nuannuan were to die and log off, the Fire God Squad wouldn't be able to recover from injuries, and Jiang Kai's stamina and mental strength wouldn't be enough to face strong opponents.

Even if they won two or three matches, they would eventually be eliminated.

Jiang Kai said, "Facing a team with high coordination, sometimes I might not be able to cover everything, so you and Old Hu need to protect yourselves!"

As Ruan Yu mentioned earlier, the team competition is no longer just about the strongest combat power but the overall team strength.

Su Nuannuan nodded firmly and said, "I won't let myself become the weak link of Fire God!"

The next morning, the Fire God Squad appeared on time in the West District of the arena.

After entering the finals, the number of spectators was higher than any previous group stage, and the entire venue was almost packed!

Before the match even started, the audience was already engaged in heated discussions.

"The showdown between Basalt's Falcon and Main God's Fire God is going to be exciting!"

"Jiang Kai's feud with Basalt is now well-known, and this match is bound to be intense."

"I heard Xu Feixiang has declared that he's Jiang Kai's nemesis!"

Before long, on both sides of the stage, Basalt's Falcon Squad and Main God's Fire God Squad stepped onto the platform simultaneously.

Everyone held their breath, nervously watching the stage.

An officer stepped onto the stage, as per tradition, calling the two captains to his side to read out the rules.

"Do both captains understand?"

Xu Feixiang, with a faint smile, stared into Jiang Kai's eyes and said coldly, "Understood."

Jiang Kai smiled slightly and said, "Understood."

The officer nodded, signaling them to return to their respective teams, then announced to the audience, "The 36th Guild Challenge, the battle from sixteen to eight, countdown begins, ten, nine... three, two, one, start!"

As soon as the match began, Falcon Squad launched a fierce attack on Fire God!

Falcon's five members split into three teams, with Xu Feixiang charging at the front, two others following behind him, and the last two at the rear, closely following their teammates.

The entire team maintained a tight formation, charging towards Fire God Squad.

Fire God Squad, as usual, split into front and back rows.

Jiang Kai held the Nine Tribulations Chasing Death, waiting for the opponent to enter range.

Moments later, Xu Feixiang was only a dozen meters away from Jiang Kai. At this moment, Jiang Kai quickly raised his hand and threw.

As he made his move, two teammates behind Xu Feixiang suddenly accelerated, rushing in front of Xu Feixiang.

Each of them held a shield!

Clang, clang, clang... Chasing Death was blocked by the shields, and one shot triggered a critical hit, sending one person flying back.

Just as that person was knocked back, a teammate from the third row suddenly accelerated, also holding a shield, filling the gap.

"Super Magnetic Gem!" Xu Feixiang seized the opportunity to activate the artifact's effect, temporarily preventing Jiang Kai from retrieving the six Chasing Deaths.

After Jiang Kai's round of attacks, the opposing team didn't slow down and continued charging towards Fire God.

Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly. This Falcon was indeed extraordinary; even when facing his attacks, they didn't show any flaws!

Their formation remained very tight.

Moreover, Falcon was completely different from Instant Kill; they were a true team. Such seamless coordination could only be honed through extensive battles with beasts, constantly teetering on the edge of life and death!

At this moment, a strong smell of alcohol wafted from beside Jiang Kai, followed by Yuan Zhu's loud shout, "The world's number one war god is here, how dare you be arrogant!" With that, Yuan Zhu leaped up and smashed towards the Falcon team.

As Yuan Zhu leaped, Falcon Squad quickly spread out, increasing the distance between each other.

Xu Feixiang, who was originally protected by his teammates, suddenly increased his speed, darting out from the team, heading straight for Jiang Kai.

At the same time, a shield-bearing vanguard stayed in place, attracting Yuan Zhu's attack.

The other three bypassed Yuan Zhu's attack range and headed directly towards Hu Yan and Su Nuannuan!

Sure enough, Falcon's target was Hu Yan and Nuannuan!

"Jiang Kai, even when facing me, Xu Feixiang, you dare to be distracted. I told you, the next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!" Xu Feixiang's voice echoed in Jiang Kai's ears.

"Kid, you like using darts, huh? Let me tell you, if you can hit me once, I'll admit defeat!"
