Chapter 1 The Battle Begins

Fire Dragon City, War God’s Temple.

The War God’s Plaza, as large as three sports stadiums combined, was packed with people. Not only were there many experts from various super forces gathered, but also a large number of players who had come to watch, quietly awaiting the official opening of the Seat Tournament.

"Quick, look! The combat arena for this time is about to be announced!"

Following a reminder from some players, a huge holographic projection vaguely began to appear in the sky above the War God's Temple. The entire holographic projection was hundreds of meters wide. Even players tens of thousands of yards away could see it, and it had completely become a landmark of Fire Dragon City.

The appearance of this holographic image not only excited the players in Fire Dragon City, but also cheered the NPCs in Fire Dragon City.

"It's finally starting!"

"This competition will determine the future direction of the entire God’s Domain. Many experts hidden by the various super forces will also appear one by one. After you go in, you must record the data of these experts. These experts will definitely be figures that cannot be provoked in the future. Some of them might even become giants in God’s Domain."

"You newcomers pay attention! This time, the Guild spent a great deal of money to book a VIP viewing room so that you can experience the competition up close. You must cherish this opportunity and learn as much as you can from those top geniuses!"

...

For a time, the major forces preparing to watch the battle in the plaza began to urge their Guild's talented newcomers to cherish this opportunity, after all, this was the peak battle of God’s Domain.

"Genius? I want to see how powerful they are."

"I heard that many famous figures on the Wind and Cloud Rankings will appear. I wonder if there will be a chance to see them compete."

These talented newcomers from the major forces were also excited, and some even had the urge to go down and compete.

At this time, not only the War God's Plaza in Fire Dragon City, but also players throughout the Fire Dragon Empire and the entire God’s Domain were paying attention to this battle. However, the number of players who could actually watch the battle was small, which made many players gnash their teeth.

There were only a thousand VIP viewing rooms, and each could only accommodate 100 people. As for the ordinary viewing seats, there were only ten million slots. Compared to the vast number of players in God’s Domain, it was nothing.

However, these were not the most annoying things. The most annoying thing was that not only players bought tickets to watch the battle, but also NPCs.

According to information from the War God’s Temple, more than 20% of the tickets were bought by NPCs, and more than 60% of the tickets left for players were booked by major forces. Only less than 20% of the tickets were in the hands of free players...

Time passed, and before they knew it, the holographic image above the War God's Temple revealed the arena for this competition.

The holographic image showed an ocean with monstrous waves and lightning, which was not an area where players could enter casually. In addition to the ocean, there were eighteen islands. These islands varied in size. The small islands were like small leveling maps, and the large islands were more than three times the size of the small islands.

The distance between these islands was also quite far. In calm seas, it would take at least two hours to reach them by Bronze Speedboat. If there were huge waves and storms, this time would double.

"No way! Is it a naval battle?"

"No, there are many small islands on the sea."

"Could it be an island snatching battle?"

The players watching the battle outside the War God’s Temple and the participating members of the major super forces were also discussing, and they were surprised by this combat arena.

However, before everyone could discuss for a while, the specific rules of this Seat Tournament were listed one by one.

1. Teams will be randomly teleported to an island, with a minimum of one hundred people and a maximum of one thousand people. Each island has different resource locations, ranging from twelve to thirty.

The Guild Points earned from different resource locations are also different. Occupying a Primary Resource Location for one hour earns ten Guild Points, occupying an Intermediate Resource Location for one hour earns twenty Guild Points, and occupying an Advanced Resource Location for one hour earns thirty Guild Points.

The competition lasts for 24 hours. At the end, the six Guilds with the highest Guild Points on all islands will receive twelve reserve seats.

2. In the eighteen island competition areas, the larger the island, the greater the restrictions on players' mental and physical strength. Players cannot use any burst skills or magic items. The top five Guilds in Guild Points in each island competition area can go to other island competition areas. Players who die during the competition will be automatically teleported out of the competition area, and their levels will be reduced by two.

After all the players had read the detailed rules of the competition, they couldn't help but gasp, because this competition relied too much on the Guild's foundation and command.

The power of individuals was very limited in this competition. If the team's combat power was not properly allocated, it could lead to complete annihilation.

"These rules are simply too advantageous for Guilds with a large number of participants." Mu Lingsha, who was in the War God's Plaza, frowned as she looked at the rules in the sky.

Because the minimum requirement for participants in this competition was to reach Tier 3, even if the number of members in many super forces was similar, the number of Tier 3 professions was vastly different.

For example, their War Souls Unyielding only had more than 4,500 Tier 3 professions, but super Guilds like Heavenly Dragon Pavilion had more than 8,000 people.

Of course, the number of Tier 3 professions in the Guilds participating in the competition was generally more than 6,000, so the gap was not as large as that of War Souls Unyielding.

But even under such circumstances, the difference in the number of participants in the Guild was still very large.

Because the number of Tier 3 professions in the five super Guilds was more than 20,000, which was incomparable to other forces. This was also why the major super forces in the entire God’s Domain had no hope for the other five seats.

The difference of twice the number of people was amplified a lot in this competition.

For example, if they formed a thousand-person team, the five super Guilds could have twenty, while other Guilds generally had less than ten. When randomly assigned to an island, the number of islands that the five super Guilds could occupy at the beginning would be several times that of other Guilds.

Not to mention that the Guild Points on the island had to reach the top five before they could leave the island and compete for resources on other islands.

"These rules are really good. This time, Miracle Guild is basically a certainty." Han Guang Shi Ying said with a faint smile as she looked at the rules.

At this time, not only was Han Guang Shi Ying relieved, but Miracle Guild was also overjoyed.

Because the number of participants in the Miracle Guild was more than 13,000. The reason why there were so many Tier 3 professions was entirely thanks to the special items provided by Mirage Mythology, which allowed some Tier 2 experts who were originally difficult to promote to successfully promote to Tier 3 professions recently.

Although such Tier 3 experts were weaker in terms of technical level than other Tier 3 professions, they were still Tier 3 professions after all, and they were much more powerful than those Tier 2 professions. Now, in the Seat Tournament, they were even the sixth Guild in terms of the number of people among all the forces.

On the side of Frost Heaven’s Sword, the faces of the Guild's high-level figures such as Yu Long Qi Jue were all ashen.

Because the number of participants in Frost Heaven’s Sword was only more than 7,500. In terms of the number of participants, they could barely rank in the top ten. If this number was changed to other venues and rules, they could definitely compete, but it was obviously much worse in this venue.

"It seems that we can only risk dividing the number of teams more, otherwise we will not have any chance to win a seat." Yu Long Qi Jue calmly looked at the other elders and elders and said.

"We can only do this, otherwise we will not be able to compete with those Guilds with a large number of participants." Hong Xin Yuan nodded.

The elders and elders present also agreed with Yu Long Qi Jue's view.

"Since that's the case, I will start arranging the team's combat power."

"Although we have to divide the teams as much as possible, we also have to consider the balance of combat power and the combat power for resource competition. The five elders and twelve elders will each lead a team of 300 people. Your goal is mainly the Primary Resource Locations. If the combat power is insufficient, try to merge as much as possible to capture the resource locations."

"I, Old Hong, and Yu Cang will each lead a team of 500 people and the Frost Heaven Ten Swords, trying to seize the Intermediate Resource Locations, and at least capture a Primary Resource Location. As for the three vice presidents, you and the mercenary group will lead the remaining team of less than a thousand people, trying to capture an Advanced Resource Location, and at least get an Intermediate Resource Location."

Yu Long Qi Jue's allocation can be said to be quite satisfactory and relatively conservative.

Such an allocation is least prone to problems. First, it ensures that there are enough teams, and the net is wide enough at the beginning. Second, even if they encounter a thousand-person team, each team has some self-protection ability.

Of course, the chance of actually encountering a thousand-person team is still very small, because the number of participants in the Guild is so small. Forming a thousand-person team is a huge waste of people. In order to cast the net as wide as possible, the more teams there are while ensuring combat power, the better.

"What do you think?" Yu Long Qi Jue glanced at the Guild executives present and asked.

The Guild executives present looked at each other, and no one objected.

"Then let's..."

Yu Long Qi Jue nodded and was about to make a decision when a low voice came over.

"I object!"

As the voice fell, the executives of Frost Heaven’s Sword couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

The speaker was Shi Feng, who had just arrived.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, do you have any good suggestions?" Yu Long Qi Jue was not annoyed, but sincerely asked.

As Yu Long Qi Jue asked, the elders and elders present also looked at Shi Feng, obviously with the same intention as Yu Long Qi Jue.

"What happened to these people in less than half a day?" Shi Feng looked at Yu Long Qi Jue and others with some surprise.

When he left before, these people hated him, but now, not only had Long Yu Qi Jue's attitude improved, but even the elders and elders had also softened their attitudes a lot.

However, Shi Feng didn't know that because of the preliminary battle, he had shocked the world with his strength, almost being able to fight a thousand alone. With such terrifying combat power, not to mention their Frost Heaven’s Sword, even those super Guilds would treat him with respect.

However, Shi Feng didn't think too much about it.

"Good suggestions are out of the question." Shi Feng said calmly, "I just think that we can change the team division a little bit."

"How to change it?" Yu Long Qi Jue also asked curiously.

Shi Feng couldn't help but stretch out his palm.

"Five!"

"My suggestion is that we Zero Wing each lead five hundred-man teams, and your Guild's vice presidents lead the remaining five hundred people. This will maximize the team's combat power."

ps: Thank you 富, for the reward of 10,000!

(The accumulated rewards on the two platforms are still a little short of being full, and everyone's recommendations and monthly tickets are not strong enough. There has not been a single recommendation of 3,000 votes so far, and there have only been three additional updates for monthly tickets...)
