Chapter 1 I… Actually Lost?

Tiancheng woke up in the battle room with a blank look, not reacting for a moment to what had happened at the last instant.

“What happened to Tiancheng?”

“Why did he suddenly lose?”

Outside the battle room, Ke Rui’s little head was filled with questions. Just a moment ago, Tiancheng had been doing well, resisting all the magic blades, but the next moment, he was hit by countless magic blades, as if it were an unreal dream.

One had to know that Tiancheng had fused a Bronze-grade defensive combat skill with a Tier 3 defensive skill. His defense was so strong that even a Tier 4 Legendary monster wouldn’t be able to hurt him in the slightest.

How could Zi Yan Liuyun, a Tier 3 priest, possibly hurt Tiancheng?

Everyone present, especially the members of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, were not surprised by this situation. On the contrary, they felt that everything was reasonable.

“It’s Mana Snatching!” Mu Xin looked at Zi Yan Liuyun on the virtual screen, took a deep breath, and slowly explained, “Her control over mana has reached the Tier 4 level. Under her control domain, the surrounding mana is at her disposal. Players below Tier 4 cannot use mana to fight against her.”

In God’s Domain, players start to come into contact with the operation of mana at Tier 2, and after Tier 3, they construct a mana body to guide the surrounding mana to drive magic skills, greatly increasing the power of magic skills.

But if one cannot guide the surrounding mana, then the power of the magic skills used will be greatly weakened.

Conversely, if mana control reaches Tier 4, one can mobilize all the mana within a range of more than fifty yards. The power and effect are simply incomparable to Tier 3 classes.

With this ebb and flow, even if Tiancheng's combat level is much higher than Zi Yan Liuyun, he cannot be an opponent in the face of true power…

Ke Rui was also enlightened when she heard this, and her gaze towards Zi Yan Liuyun was extremely complicated.

"She shouldn't be much older than me, right?" Ke Rui couldn't help but murmur, "Could she be transformed from a Tier 4 NPC?"

Reaching the Vacuum Realm was one thing, but having Tier 4 level control over mana was something that even those old monsters who mastered the Domain couldn’t do right now.

Hong Xinyuan, who was watching the battle, was surprisingly calm, and even looked at Zi Yan Liuyun with a hint of appreciation.

"Lao Hong, how about it? You didn't lose unjustly," Duan Hanshan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"It seems you guessed it long ago." Hong Xinyuan was not annoyed by losing the S-grade nutritional potion and 100,000 magic crystals. Instead, he shook his head and laughed.

"Of course, which super force with well-informed information doesn't know about that matter?" Duan Hanshan nodded. "You didn't lose out this time. You should be secretly rejoicing that Elder Zui Yan of our guild lost to this little girl in the family internal competition."

However, Duan Hanshan didn't know that the current Zi Yan Liuyun was stronger than when she fought Zui Yan. She was not relying on a staff to forcibly raise her mental level to Tier 4, but completely relying on her own level to reach Tier 4.

Her mastery of mana had completely improved to a great level.

"Yes, it was a good loss, a good loss." A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Hong Xinyuan's mouth. "This trip wasn't in vain."

"Uncle Hong?" Ke Rui looked at the happy Hong Xinyuan, her heart full of confusion.

That was fifteen bottles of S-grade nutritional potions and 100,000 magic crystals, which was not a small amount for Frost Heaven Sword.

"That's right, a good loss." Mu Xin on the side also suddenly smiled.

This time, Frost Heaven Sword’s actions were of great importance, and would even affect the future situation of the entire God’s Domain. The foreign aid they invited was naturally the stronger the better.

Although some of Tiancheng’s strength could not be brought into play in the virtual battle room, the methods Zi Yan Liuyun showed were enough to be of great use.

"Mu Xin, you did a good job this time," Hong Xinyuan looked at Mu Xin and praised.

"This is also helping the guild." Mu Xin smiled faintly. It was not easy to get Uncle Hong's praise.

"Afterwards, tell Black Flame that I will give them twenty places for this secret operation. The previous contract for one hundred bottles of S-grade nutritional potions is still valid. If it succeeds, our Colossus Financial Group will give Zero Wing three places to enter the upper district," Hong Xinyuan said with a smile.

"Uncle Hong?" Mu Xin was stunned when she heard this, and even thought she had heard wrong.

"Uncle Hong, aren't you going too far?" Ke Rui also opened her beautiful eyes wide, feeling that Hong Xinyuan was really crazy.

Some outsiders were just that, giving some external items and credit points would already be very good, but he actually used reserved places as rewards. If the elders of the financial group knew about this, they would definitely jump up and down, after all, many of the elders' descendants had not received reserved places, and now they were giving them to outsiders...

"Lao Hong, you're really generous. I remember you don't have many reserved places left in your hands, right?" Duan Hanshan was also amazed.

For ordinary people, the upper district was just a dream, but for those wealthy people, this name was all they yearned for.

Because the upper district was a special area built by Green God Company, only some super-large cities had such special areas, and there were only less than sixty such special areas in the world.

The biggest reason why the upper district was coveted by countless wealthy people was longevity and youth.

According to the statistics of the upper district built fifty years ago, the average life expectancy had reached 130 years old, and the prime of life had been extended to 80 years old. That is to say, people in the upper district who were eighty years old had the same physical vitality as people outside who were fifty years old.

And this was still the data from fifty years ago...

In addition, there were many other benefits in the upper district, but only those who entered the upper district could know about them.

The number of places to enter the upper district every year was limited, and it was not possible to enter just with money, but a series of conditions had to be met.

Of course, some world-class financial groups had a little cooperative relationship with Green God Company, so they also retained a small number of places, but this number was very small, and those large financial groups were reluctant to give them to outsiders. Only those who had made great contributions were likely to get one.

Now Hong Xinyuan was taking out three places in one breath, which was quite generous.

"I can still afford three places." Hong Xinyuan curled his lips, pretending not to care much, but the distressed look in his eyes could not deceive the masters present.

"It seems that it's not easy for you either." Duan Hanshan gave Hong Xinyuan a complicated look. He was the only one present who knew some of the reasons.

However, Duan Hanshan's words made Mu Xin and Ke Rui feel confused.

"Okay, the purpose has been achieved, let's go." Hong Xinyuan smiled and didn't say anything else. He turned and walked towards the main entrance of the hall, not intending to stay any longer.

As Hong Xinyuan and others left, Gu Han walked to Duan Hanshan's side.

"Elder Duan, what exactly does Frost Heaven Sword mean by coming to Zero Wing this time?" Gu Han asked curiously.

"It doesn't mean anything for them to come here." Duan Hanshan took a deep breath and looked at the door where Hong Xinyuan and others left with a complicated expression. "It's just that the world is going to change drastically in the future, and there's not much time left for you."

"The world is going to change drastically?" Gu Han was puzzled and felt more and more confused.

Just as Gu Han wanted to continue asking, Liang Jing also walked over from the elevator entrance.

"Elder Duan, our Guild Leader invites you." Liang Jing said respectfully.

"Your Guild Leader has finally come out. I've been waiting for a long time. I also want to talk to him about the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion." Duan Hanshan nodded. "Lead the way."

"Elder Duan, please!"

Liang Jing then led Duan Hanshan towards the elevator leading to the top floor of the building.
