The informant left, leaving Jiang Kai standing there, somewhat at a loss.

After a moment, he asked Hu Yan, "Old Hu, what is this Guild Challenge Tournament?"

Hu Yan replied, "It's organized by the military, held once a year. By my calculations, it should take place in about a month and a half."

"The Guild Challenge Tournament is a city-level event aimed at honing the combat abilities of various guilds."

"There are two events in the Guild Challenge Tournament. One is the Guild Competition, where each guild in River City must send out ten teams each from the second, third, and fourth tiers, with five members per team, to compete in elimination matches against other guilds, with 150 people fighting at the same time."

"The other event is the Team Competition, where teams from each guild compete in four categories: second tier, third tier, fourth tier, and Transcendent level five. Team members can only be of lower or equal rank, and it's also elimination-based."

"In the end, the military will reward the top three guilds and the top three teams in each tier."

Jiang Kai nodded thoughtfully, "150 people... that's too many. I probably won't have a chance..."

Players aren't like wild monsters; they have equipment, talents, and skills, and they're smarter.

For example, if there's a high-tier player skilled with a shield, Jiang Kai's darts would be countered, making it impossible for him to win.

So, they could only participate in the Team Competition.

"Kai, that person was beating around the bush earlier. I don't think he's a good guy," Hu Yan reminded. "There might be a trap."

Jiang Kai pondered for a long time and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I need to log off and check on my brother; he just had surgery."

"Alright, we'll wait for you."

...

At the Black Tortoise Guild's Eighteenth District base, a figure quickly entered the backyard through the back door and headed straight to the council hall.

If Jiang Kai were here, he would recognize this guy as the one who had just tipped him and his friends off.

Inside the council hall, the Third Elder, Huang Tong, and Huang Da were waiting. Seeing the newcomer, they immediately stood up.

"Fourth Brother, is it done?" Huang Tong asked.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

The newcomer smiled slightly, "It's done. I've already told Jiang Kai about the military's rewards in advance. I'm sure he'll participate."

A sinister smile appeared on Huang Da's face, "Now that more and more people are discovering the connection portals, and the Global Dominance Tournament clearly states that the competition ends with 'kills.'"

"Probably to prepare in advance, this year's Guild Challenge Tournament has just changed the rules, also ending with 'kills.'"

Huang Tong nodded slightly, "This news isn't known to the outside world yet. That kid Jiang Kai probably still thinks it's just an ordinary event."

The Third Elder's face was frosty as he snorted coldly, "In the last BOSS battle, although we secured the BOSS kill, the spotlight was stolen by that Jiang Kai."

"When I delivered the skull to the military, they even said it was our Black Tortoise's luck!"

Talking about this matter made Huang Tong furious as well.

"Originally, completing this kill brought our contribution value up to par with the Orient Loong God, yet despite contributing two Summoning Skulls, everyone says Black Tortoise is inferior to the Orient Loong God! We prepared for the Murloc Lord for eight months, attempted twice before, and after such a huge expenditure, this is the result we get. I can't swallow this!"

Huang Da angrily said, "That guy even killed Huang Wei! Wei's mental state is very unstable now, all thanks to him!"

The Third Elder coldly said, "Now, even within Black Tortoise, some people are starting to speak for him, suggesting we give up the skull? Do they not understand that even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare defy the world and snatch the BOSS! It's all just a pretense, fake benevolence!"

"Anyway, if this continues, the resistance we'll face in trying to eliminate him will only grow!"

Huang Tong said, "Uncle, during that battle, we all saw that the key to his terrifying strength is likely his weapon, and in other aspects, he's not excessively strong."

"The military seems to want him to participate in the Guild Challenge Tournament, deliberately placing the second-tier Nine Tribulations Chasing Death in the Team Competition rewards to lure that kid into participating!"

"I've specially selected a group of loyal members, all very strong, and equipped them with high-intensity defensive weapons. As long as they block that guy's darts, he's dead for sure!"

"To ensure nothing goes wrong, Little Da will personally participate in the Team Competition this time!"

Huang Da said fiercely, "We've already figured out his tactics, specializing in long-range attacks with fire damage. His weapon seems to be embedded with Strong Magnets, and... his attack power is hard to fathom, but he has weaknesses too."

"Low attributes, weak endurance in prolonged battles, and almost no defensive capabilities."

"Simply put, he can kill others, but others can kill him too!"

"Moreover, we have that piece of equipment, absolutely foolproof!"

"As a member of the Huang Family, I request to fight. I'm confident I can avoid his attacks and kill him in one strike!"

The Third Elder looked at Huang Da with satisfaction and nodded, believing that Huang Tong would arrange this matter properly and that Huang Da had the strength to do so!

"By the way, how are things with his brother and sister?"

Huang Da replied, "His family is currently staying in the military's reception area, so we can't get close!"

"What kind of talk is that! Doesn't she go to and from school?!" Huang Tong angrily said, "Just Jiang Kai killing Wei twice is enough to kill his whole family!"

"Little Da, you must handle this matter for me! If anything happens, I'll cover for you!"

The Third Elder nodded slightly, "Both online and offline, let's see what waves this Jiang Kai can stir up!"

...

Jiang Kai had just exited the Login Gate when he saw Su Lanlan staring at him with wide eyes.

Jiang Kai frowned, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you craving my body?"

This sentence snapped Su Lanlan out of her daze, as Jiang Kai was only wearing shorts.

But this guy was a bit too confident.

"Shameless!" Su Lanlan said fiercely.

Jiang Kai held back his laughter, found his locker, and took out his clothes to put on.

At this moment, Su Lanlan caught up with him.

"Hey, Xiao Hei said someone wants to see you."

"Xiao Hei?" Jiang Kai was tidying up his sportswear.

"The one who wore sunglasses when he visited your house last time. He has a friend looking for you."

"Him... Who's looking for me?"

"Someone from the War God Temple in River City. If you have time, I'll call Xiao Hei."

Jiang Kai thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to see my brother now. It's not far anyway. Call me when he arrives."

Su Lanlan reluctantly saved Jiang Kai's number.

"Your brother's surgery was quite successful."

Hearing this, Jiang Kai felt a huge weight lifted off his heart and said excitedly, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you!" Su Lanlan said fiercely, "But he still needs to be observed for a while to avoid any rejection."

"Thank you, I'll go see him now!" With that, Jiang Kai hurriedly left the login hall.
