The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 1127  IDENTITY OF THE MALE PLAYER

"OKAY, let's not stress ourselves over some guy who might not even be a part of team Mozu's main attack team," Luo Yan said to diffuse the situation.

"What do you mean, Yan?" Luo Jin asked.

"He looked familiar but, from what I can recall, he's not one of team Mozu's top five members," Luo Yan answered.

"If he looked familiar to you, that meant that he might have some fame," Su Yuqi said. "Can you describe how his avatar looked?"

"Well, he's dressed all in black, his hair is black too, his eyes looked reptilian, and his skin seemed to have scales," Luo Yan said, recounting what he remembered to the others.

"Is he some kind of dragon?" Bai Ze asked, because based on Luo Yan's description, the male player might belong to a race related to dragons or something similar.

"He's not," the silent Dusk said, looking very affronted that Bai Ze even suggested that.

"That's right! How can you even compare that guy to someone as glorious and noble as us?" Rowan added angrily. "He's just a lesser creature who hasn't evolved into a true dragon."

"An Imugi," Shen Ji Yun said, more as a statement than a question.

"Wait—I think I remember who you're talking about!" Bai Ze said, looking like someone who had just a sudden realization. "It must be that crazy guy, Zephyr!"

Zephyr? Luo Yan furrowed his brows. At the mention of that name, he finally remembered where he saw the male player. When he was searching the game forum last year for information about the Rookie Carnival, he found a picture of the champion the year before last.

That player was Zephyr.

"The champion of Rookie Carnival a year before Luo Yan won?"

What Su Yuqi asked just confirmed Luo Yan's thoughts.

"Yes, that's him!" Bai Ze affirmed. "How can I forget that he was recruited by team Mozu?"

"I don't care who he is, but why was he acting all creepy towards Yan?" Luo Jin said.

"I've mentioned that he's crazy, right? Well, he's kind of a sadistic, battle-crazy bastard who's been climbing the PvP leaderboard ever since he became a Rookie Carnival champion. Heck, even if he's just wandering around Arcadia and finds a strong player, he'll attack them," Bai Ze explained. "I think he's feeling competitive towards Xiao Yan, since both of you were Rookie Carnival champions."

"Well, if it's just that, then I don't mind facing him off," Luo Yan said with a shrug.

If that Zephyr guy looked at him in that creepy manner just because he's feeling competitive, then that's fine. He welcomed any challenges. But if it's something else, something disgusting he couldn't even bear to think of, then he had to make sure that guy wouldn't even dare to entertain those kinds of thoughts.

"It's definitely not just that! That guy definitely has some creepy feelings for Master! He must have been captivated by Master's beauty, so his sadistic tendency was triggered and--"

"Okay!" Luo Yan clapped his hands before Eclipse said something that would trigger Shen Ji Yun even more.

Look, Shen Ji Yun's face was growing darker by the second. Luo Yan reached under the table for Shen Ji Yun's hand and held it tightly, as if to offer reassurance. It was only then that the dark cloud lifted from Shen Ji Yun's face.

"How about we discuss what we'll do for our match with team Siren later?" Luo Yan asked to end the topic.

After the opening ceremony, the revealed tournament block for the Arcadia Cup became a hot topic in Weibo.

[Have you guys seen the tournament block for Arcadia Cup? Are you sure this was done randomly? Because how come team Yunyue might have to fight all the top four teams if they happened to reach the finals?]

— Wait—I just noticed it! You're actually right!

— They're in the same block as teams Siren and Mozu. If they win against team Siren, they'll face team Mozu tomorrow. Team Fenghuang is in block B. If there's no unexpected strong competitor in their block, team Fenghuang will probably win and be the next opponent for Team Yunyue. On the other side, team Celestials is in block D. If they win in blocks C and D, Team Yunyue will face them in the finals. Wow! I suddenly feel amazed by what I just typed.

└ Now that you lay it down so clearly like this, it's really amazing in a way.

└ Could it be that the Duke of Spades manipulated the result?

└└ Hey, I don't allow you to disparage the Duke of Spades like that! If this was the Duke of Hearts we're talking about, then I'll agree. But this was the Duke of Spades, the most principled among the four dukes. There's no way he would do something like that.

└└└ Why are you acting like they're real people???

└└└└ They're real to me. ( ￣＾￣)

└ But this is amazing, right? If everything goes as you said, then wouldn't it mean that team Yunyue will have defeated all the top four teams?

└└ If that happened, then no one could say that they're not the strongest team in Arcadia in case they won the championship.

[I'm still rooting for team Celestials. They must win this year as well!]

— Goddess Liuli for the win!

— Li Xu Min, I love you!!!

[I have a feeling that team Fenghuang will make a surprising comeback this year. They might snatch the championship for all we know.]

— Well, they've always been good, so it's not really that surprising if they won this year. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Team Mozu is also in a good position this year. The addition of Zephyr definitely boosted them.]

[As a female player, I'm required to support team Siren. Go team Siren!]

[Why aren't there enough people commenting about the two additions in team Yunyue? They look like dragons. Are they new players?]

Comments and posts like that flooded Weibo and the game forum. Before long, 1 PM arrived, and the top 16 match finally began.
