Looking at the remnants of flames on the wire mesh, Jiang Kai frowned.
Did I go too hard on him...?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Kai felt that Di Sang was just too unlucky.
That kid wasn't just ordinarily unlucky; he managed to encounter the Nine Tribulations Chasing Death without a critical hit for eight consecutive times, resulting in a 380-fold attack... Such a situation, he himself had only encountered once before. What kind of luck did that kid have?
Although Di Sang died miserably, death was just a momentary thing. He probably didn't even have time to feel the pain before he was gone.
With this thought, Jiang Kai felt relieved.
He raised his hand, and the Chasing Death returned to his hand from all directions. Then he turned to look at his teammates and winked at them.
"All done!"
It was only then that Yuan Zhu and the others snapped back to reality.
"Damn, is this the power of Kai when he's serious?" Ruan Yu exclaimed in horror, "He's a total monster!"
Yuan Zhu said nervously, "When did this guy become so strong? Even if I were drunk, I don't think I could beat him."
No matter what, Jiang Kai had already defeated Di Sang, and the Fire God Squad officially won the 36th Guild Challenge, taking the championship in the Tier 2 Team Competition.
After the match ended, the wire mesh descended, and military personnel immediately took the stage to set up a makeshift podium.
There was only one seat on the podium, as all members of the other teams had died and logged off after their defeat.
The referee of the match, a military officer, took the stage and brought Jiang Kai and the others to the podium, then turned to announce the results to the audience.
"Congratulations to the Main God Guild, Fire God Squad for winning first place in this Tier 2 Team Competition. Now, let's have the guest present the award."
A middle-aged man walked up, holding an exquisite award box, and handed it personally to Jiang Kai.
After the Fire God Squad received their award, a long-haired man hurriedly caught up with them as they were about to leave.
"Jiang Kai!"
Jiang Kai turned around, surprised to see the man, until he noticed the guild emblem on his chest—Azure Dragon Guild!
"Jiang Kai, this is the Secret Realm Information Card. As per our agreement with Azure Dragon, we're giving it to you now."
"Additionally, we're giving you three days to explore on your own. After three days, we at Azure Dragon will continue to seek ways to enter the Secret Realm."
Jiang Kai frowned. Azure Dragon was only giving him three days? That wasn't mentioned before.
But after thinking about it, they also knew the location of the Secret Realm. If he couldn't enter it, would Azure Dragon just not go in either?
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
Azure Dragon only promised to give Jiang Kai the location and never committed to giving up exploring the Secret Realm themselves.
With this thought, Jiang Kai nodded and accepted the Information Card. "Thanks."
...
Back at the Main God Guild's base, Jiang Kai and the others checked the display screen.
Some data on the previous guild information page had changed.
[Guild Honor: The Fire God Squad under the guild has won the 36th Guild Challenge in River City, Tier 2 Team Competition Champion.]
[Current Guild Points: 11 points, Guild Ranking: River City Rank, Grade C 281st. China Ranking: Beyond 15,000th.]
"I remember our River City ranking was over 300 before, and winning the championship only improved it this much?" Jiang Kai asked in confusion.
Su Nuannuan smiled and explained, "Not every guild can reach the championship, but things like main city construction and contributing certain strategic resources can also increase guild points. You can click in to see the detailed ways to earn points."
Jiang Kai thought about it and decided he wasn't planning to develop the guild, so he couldn't be bothered to look.
"Whatever, let's check the rewards first!"
Inside the award box were four cards, seemingly for convenience in presenting the awards, so the rewards were stored in card form this time.
"Just four prizes, that's it? Isn't that too few? At least one reward per person," Jiang Kai said as he picked up the award box to see if there were any hidden compartments.
Su Nuannuan covered her mouth and laughed, "It's not too few. These four rewards are all yours. Zhu and I have already received ours."
"Huh?" Jiang Kai looked at Nuannuan in surprise.
Yuan Zhu said, "You forgot, just my Tier 2 class change materials alone, the military has to pay you 10 million Star Coins..."
Jiang Kai thought about it and realized, yes, the military had already invested heavily in these two people, so they were saving wherever they could.
Since that was the case, Jiang Kai didn't dwell on the rewards and started checking the prizes.
"Tier 2 Chasing Death!" Jiang Kai picked up a card and saw the nine silver daggers on it, instantly getting excited!
The military had already appraised the equipment, and the attributes could be directly viewed on the card.
The attributes of Nine Tribulations Chasing Death·Tier 2 had its penetration increased from 9 to 14 points, strength increased by 17 points, and agility increased by 21 points.
The critical hit rate increased from the original 10% incrementally to 15%.
Critical damage also increased from 10% to 15%.
Additionally, Tier 2 Chasing Death had an extra special effect.
[Armor Shred: Each Chasing Death can cause a small area of AoE damage, and by continuously attacking the area with Chasing Death, it can continuously weaken the opponent's armor.]
Tier 2 Chasing Death wasn't particularly eye-catching among Tier 2 weapons, but for Jiang Kai, it was undoubtedly his best choice at the moment.
"A 15% critical hit increment... that's strong! It means that seven darts will definitely result in a critical hit, which is much more reliable than before!"
Jiang Kai had just experienced the embarrassment of getting a critical hit only on the ninth Chasing Death, and Tier 2 Chasing Death wouldn't have such an issue.
Besides Tier 2 Chasing Death, the rewards also included one kilogram of "Sub-Mother Magnets."
Ruan Yu looked at the card and immediately said to Jiang Kai, "Kai, this is good stuff. With Sub-Mother Stones, you won't have to worry about others interfering with your Strong Magnets!"
Jiang Kai frowned, "What are Sub-Mother Stones?"
Hu Yan explained, "Sub-Mother Stones are actually composed of two parts, the Sub-Stone and the Mother-Stone. Only corresponding Sub-Mother Stones will generate a strong attraction. Once embedded, Sub-Mother Stones can isolate the metal properties of the weapon itself. By embedding the Sub-Stone and Mother-Stone on your weapon and gloves respectively, other magnets won't be able to interfere with you."
Jiang Kai's eyes widened. This meant he wouldn't have to worry about other people's high-level magnets in the future!
"Kai, give me the stuff, and I'll modify everything for you," Ruan Yu volunteered.
"No rush, let's see what other good stuff there is."
The third card was a complete set of class change materials.
[Tier 3 Feng Shui Master Class Change Materials. Upon successful use, you can change class to Spirit Medium.]
Jiang Kai looked at Hu Yan in surprise, "Tier 3 class change materials... Old Hu, is your Tier 3 class Spirit Medium?"
Hu Yan nodded, "Feng Shui Master currently goes up to Tier 4, which are Tier 1 Feng Shui Master, Tier 2 Fate Master, Tier 3 Spirit Medium, and Tier 4 Grand Master. It's normal for you not to know, as even Tier 2 Feng Shui Masters are rare now, let alone Tier 3 or even Tier 4."
"Grand Master..." Jiang Kai rubbed his chin, "Sounds impressive just by the name."
Hu Yan smiled wryly, "It's probably just the name that's impressive. In reality, Feng Shui Master hasn't shown any talents or professional skills that help in combat, ranking barely behind Ascetic Monk among the top ten professions in China."
Jiang Kai smiled slightly, holding the card, and tossed it to Hu Yan, "Who cares about that, maybe after becoming Transcendent, Feng Shui Master will be particularly strong."
Hu Yan caught the card, visibly excited.
He was now one step closer to becoming the strongest Tier 4 Grand Master!
And what would the Transcendent profession be after Grand Master?
The fourth prize was a wine gourd.
[Universal Treasure, Drunken Immortal Gourd, used for storing wine. Increases the effects of various wines by 30% and reduces hangover time by 50%.]
As soon as he saw the effect of this treasure, Jiang Kai was about to put it away, but Ruan Yu quickly snatched it up.
"Kai, can I have this?" Ruan Yu looked at Jiang Kai eagerly, "Look, Old Hu already has something..."
Clearly, this item was only useful to Ruan Yu, but the problem was, thinking about Ruan Yu's drunken state, with the effects now increased by 30%, Jiang Kai felt a headache coming on.
However, the team competition was a squad event, and the rewards were tailored for each member of the Fire God Squad. It wouldn't be fair not to give it to Ruan Yu.
"Kai, I'll help you design and embed the Sub-Mother Stones!"
Ruan Yu almost never asked for anything, and seeing his hopeful eyes, Jiang Kai couldn't bear to refuse.
"Alright, alright, this is yours." After saying that, Jiang Kai whispered to Hu Yan, "Old Hu, we need to enhance the effect of the anti-wolf spray!"
