Chapter 1 The Chaotic Scene

The scene was a complete mess. The major guilds were focusing their fire on this one for a moment, then on that one the next, giving the players the illusion that there were "many Bosses." In reality, the true Boss, Dragon Swordsman, was still resting comfortably in the center of the circle. Despite the chaos, none of the guilds landed a single attack on the real Boss.

Clearly, beneath the chaos, each guild maintained a clear understanding and judgment. They all knew what could truly tip the balance of power on the field. Dragon Swordsman could not be touched yet; whoever touched him would become the target of everyone else. With everyone enjoying the current focus fire, being the target of all would be a terrible fate.

So each guild hoped someone else would make that mistake, only to find that every single one was equally calm.

Ye Xiu's Battle Mage suddenly emerged from the crowd, as if in a panic, running to a remarkably conspicuous position.

Eliminating a god-level player was something everyone loved to see. However, after the initial wave of attacks, each team, while focusing on others, also carefully protected their own god, making it increasingly difficult to find a target. But now, Ye Xiu's Battle Mage was forced to expose himself to the attack range of several guilds!

Don't hesitate!

The attacks of all the guilds instantly turned towards him, but Ye Xiu's Battle Mage ran faster than a rabbit, quickly darting away to another location.

"He's going to aggro the Boss!!" Someone suddenly realized that Ye Xiu's Battle Mage was about to step into Dragon Swordsman's aggro range.

"Did he make a mistake?" The pro players were excited. Ye Xiu had actually made a blunder in his haste. If he aggroed the Boss, they wouldn't even need to communicate; they would definitely and effortlessly kick Happy out of the game first.

He's in! He actually charged in!

Dragon Swordsman moved, sensing someone approaching. He would actively attack opponents. Ye Xiu seemed to realize this just then and quickly changed direction.

Too late, right?

Everyone gleefully thought. Dragon Swordsman had indeed taken action. He leaped high and unleashed a super domineering Collapsing Mountain Strike, a single sword strike, aimed at the Thunderclap Guild.

"What the hell is going on!!" The Thunderclap Guild was in chaos, but Xiao Shiqin had already realized something was wrong when Ye Xiu maneuvered his Battle Mage.

Damn it, this is misdirection!

Xiao Shiqin was tearful. Because they were so eager to focus fire on Ye Xiu, the attacks from the Thunderclap Guild landed on Dragon Swordsman after his Battle Mage changed direction. Although Ye Xiu's Battle Mage had entered the Boss's aggro range first, how could that compare to the immense aggro generated by directly attacking the Boss?

Accompanied by Dragon Swordsman's powerful entry, other guilds immediately began to kick them while they were down.

Explanation was useless. Xiao Shiqin knew this well. Such obvious misdirection wouldn't fool the experts stationed in each major guild. Xiao Shiqin didn't believe they couldn't see through it. But in this situation, these guys would definitely take advantage of the situation, pretending not to understand in order to seek a tacit understanding. So, cooperating with the Boss to kick Thunderclap out of the game first was the most convenient option.

Xiao Shiqin was just annoyed that Ye Xiu had misled their Thunderclap Guild instead of another one. And even more annoyed that Ye Xiu had been the one to think of such a move first, not him...

"Prepare to retreat..." Bearing the Boss alone, plus the backstabbing from several other major guilds, Thunderclap was instantly in a difficult situation. Xiao Shiqin decisively issued the order to retreat.

Taking advantage of the chaos, some guilds immediately wanted to take control of the field.

"Ghost Formation, activate!!"

Void was never lacking in Ghost Swordsmen. Under the command of their team's god and number one Ghost Swordsman, Li Xuan, all the Ghost Swordsmen charged to the front lines, regardless of whether they were Zhan Gui (Blade Demon) or Zhen Gui (Formation Demon), simultaneously summoning Ghost Formations.

Instantly, the power of ghosts and gods spread out. Void's Ghost Swordsmen had definitely undergone some training. At this moment, the Ghost Formations were laid out in an interwoven pattern, with little overlap. A large area was instantly sealed off.

Because of the core character of the team, the proportion of certain classes among the players recruited by each major guild tended to be skewed. An abundance of a certain class could be a headache in dungeons, but in PvP, it was easy to use the numerical advantage of the same class to create team attack methods that other guilds couldn't replicate. Just like the current situation with Trample the Void. This kind of large-scale Ghost Formation coverage was something that the elites of other guilds couldn't use no matter what, because they didn't have that many Ghost Swordsmen!

But even without Ghost Swordsmen, they still had other classes!

The Witchcraft Scholars from Blue Brook Guild spread out and surrounded them, launching their attacks simultaneously. Lava Flasks were thrown everywhere, and magical rays intertwined into a net.

"Swordsman Squad, charge!!" Blue Brook Guild wasn't willing to fall behind either. With a command, their guild's most numerous Swordsmen formed a courageous charging team, using Triple Slash to quickly enter the enemy ranks. The second most numerous class, the Warlocks, directly opened a ring of Doors of Death.

"Hmph, I knew you guys would do this." The Hundred Blossom Valley's troops also fearlessly joined the battle. Not only did they have many Sharpshooters, but they all liked to imitate the Hundred Blossom style of their former captain, Zhang Jiale. Although they didn't have his skill level, a bunch of them throwing out random skills created a dazzling display of light and shadow.

"Chaotic enough..." Ye Xiu commented from the side with satisfaction. When he rushed up to misdirect them, he had already given instructions to Happy. At that moment, Happy didn't rush up to focus fire on Thunderclap. Instead, they ran even faster than Thunderclap. So while the other four guilds started fighting fiercely, Happy distanced themselves and watched the excitement from the sidelines.

Ye Xiu looked at the battle scene over there and then at Happy's lineup. Their newly established team didn't have such class specializations yet. Although Ye Xiu's Unspecialized was a very attractive character now, it was extremely difficult to level one up today. Completing the God Domain challenge at level 50 wasn't something ordinary skilled players could do. Moreover, now that the level cap had been raised by another 5 levels, the difficulty of the God Domain challenge had increased further, but it still had to be completed at level 50. The possibility of leveling an Unspecialized had obviously decreased significantly.

The other guilds also noticed that Happy had quietly withdrawn to wait for the opportunity to reap the benefits, and they gnashed their teeth but were helpless. They had already fired their arrows and couldn't turn back. It was difficult to have another tacit agreement to clean up Happy together. After all, these were all hundred-player teams, and the battle was already in full swing. It wasn't easy to stop at will. It was no wonder that guild battles were more complicated than pro matches. At least pro matches didn't have such a chaotic free-for-all situation. As soon as they entered the arena, it was clear who was the enemy and who was the friend, unlike guild battles where enemies and friends were constantly changing.

While the guilds were still considering their next move, a sword aura suddenly emerged from the circle, directly cutting a gap through the crowd. Dragon Swordsman actually broke out of the encirclement.

Everyone was shocked. Dragon Swordsman wasn't programmed to run away on his own. So... the aggro was stolen?

Everyone turned their gaze and saw that Dragon Swordsman was charging towards a Sharpshooter who was carrying a heavy cannon on his shoulder, continuously bombarding Dragon Swordsman until the distance between them was negligible. Only then did he retreat. But the Boss's movement speed was not something players could kite. Otherwise, it would be too easy to kill him. Dragon Swordsman was still a few steps away when he swung his sword, and an Ice Burst Wave Sword, a skill of the Blade Demon, chased after the Sharpshooter. The skill's speed was fast enough to make all Blade Demon players drool.

But the Sharpshooter reacted extremely quickly, twisting his body, jumping into the air, and firing a shot, changing direction and dodging the Ice Burst Wave Sword.

Sharpshooter...

The current number one Sharpshooter in the league had already joined Happy. Apart from players of Su Mucheng's caliber, how many others had the ability to accurately unleash output in such a chaotic situation and forcibly pull away the Boss's aggro!

But by doing so, wasn't Happy inviting hatred?

The Thunderclap Guild's aggro wasn't high because they were only mistakenly hit by Ye Xiu's misdirection. It was Void's wave of Ghost Formations that pulled the Boss's aggro over to their side. But at this time, no guild wanted to rush to grab the aggro. The priority was to control the scene and then try to take over the output once the scene was relatively stable.

The Boss's aggro was like a hot potato at this moment, and no one wanted it. So after Void received the Boss's aggro, they quickly misled it to the fiercely attacking Tiny Herb. Tiny Herb was also quite polite, intentionally pushing it towards Blue Rain. Blue Rain was even more excessive, directly passing the Boss to Hundred Blossom. When Hundred Blossom saw that this wasn't good, they tried to mislead it back to Void.

The guilds were tossing it back and forth, using various tricks and deceptions in terms of skills. It was precisely because they didn't want to establish a stable aggro right now that Su Mucheng's wave of powerful attacks was able to pull the Boss away so easily.

But her obvious act of stealing aggro was different from the mutual misdirection between the guilds. Once the Boss was taken away, it was enough for the guilds to stop fighting each other and charge up without any instructions.

Dragon Swordsman was still chasing Su Mucheng's Sharpshooter, and at this time, others from Happy had already come to help block him. But the guilds arrived in an instant, ready to unleash their attacks. However, when they saw Happy's formation, the pro players in the guilds were stunned.

The formation was simply a super misleading one. If the guilds bombarded it, Dragon Swordsman would probably switch aggro immediately. Happy was actually using the fact that the guilds didn't want to grab the aggro at this time to use Dragon Swordsman as a shield to make them hesitate.

But was this useful? There were also experts stationed in each guild. It would be an insult to call them pro players if they were stumped by this. Immediately, the guilds first called for a stop and then quickly deployed. But right then, Happy suddenly scattered, and Dragon Swordsman charged toward them like a tiger released from its cage.

"What's going on? Isn't anyone attacking?" The guilds were stunned. Then, someone discovered the situation, and they all cried. When did Su Mucheng sneak around to their backs? Happy had just used Dragon Swordsman as a shield, and in the blink of an eye, they were using them as shields...

At this time, there were many pro players present, but after being tormented in various ways, they had to admit that Ye Xiu, who had been messing around in the game for a full year and a half, had widened the gap between them in terms of reaction and awareness in commanding such a scene.
