They were ruthless, sometimes even killing one person at a time.
Before Jeston's burst bar even appeared in the front row, all the scorching Originium Bugs had already been cleared.
[? ]
[Is it open?]
[As newcomers, who gave their all, who made mistakes, whose playstyle wasn't team-oriented, and whose picks were too targeted?]
But that alone is not enough.
The two Jestons were already struggling to fight the Stone Golems, and now the Originium Bugs are taking on some of their firepower.
Even though the Golem has lost a small amount of health, the game is still in suspense.
One punch, two punches, three punches...
The first Jeston quickly fell to the ground under the onslaught of the Stone Golem.
At this point, the stone golem's health had dropped to below half!
[Lao Jie, hold on!]
[Jay, I'll never badmouth you again, please, please win.]
[Brother, I've never asked anyone for help in my life, please, give me a hand today!]
On the field.
The second Jeston has also been knocked into its second form by the Stone Golem.
Both of them had reached their final health limit.
Life and death hang in the balance!
But for some reason, a resolute look suddenly appeared in Jeston's eyes.
Iron material suddenly covered his entire body, and the two iron swords that had been cut until their blades were slightly worn away also reformed.
He leaped into the air, his body overlapping with the blazing sun.
The armor-piercing attack, which was supposed to penetrate the ground to launch an attack, pierced directly into the stone golem's head in an instant!
Countless iron spikes pierced through the stone golem's body, and the originally jagged stone surface was instantly covered by black iron spikes.
[*Gallic profanity*, Lao Jie!]
[We won? We won!]
[Apologies! Jesston, I'm so sorry!]
The stone figure collapsed with a crash, and the last gunner team leader left on the field was powerless to reverse the situation.
it's all over.
"Impossible, impossible, it must be a cover-up!!!"
An Hong's feigned composure was finally torn off, and he screamed hoarsely, unable to believe the final outcome.
Tentacles resembling withered branches reappeared, wrapping around Dark Rainbow's body.
"He cheated! He cheated! There's no way he can win, this game is unfair!"
An Hong pointed at Li Ji while chattering incessantly.
But Li Ji simply walked slowly to An Hong and said:
“Before you ‘go down,’ I can tell you… I did cheat, but you should know that cheating isn’t considered cheating if it’s not discovered.”
"you……"
Before An Hong could finish speaking, she was pulled underground.
"Alright, now that the winner has been decided, this prediction contest is over."
Cannot clapped his hands, and starlight began to emanate from Li Ji's body.
With a "cing" sound, Li Ji's vision was swallowed up by the void.
……
When he opened his eyes again, he was already back at the entrance of Luoyang Courtyard.
Cannot still stood at the door, while Raven sat on a rock to the side, staring blankly with his face propped up on his hand.
"you are back?"
Raven's eyes lit up when it saw Li Ji and his group suddenly appear before it.
"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting."
Li Ji waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I was really worried you'd ruin yourself by playing around like this, but now that I'm back, I'm finally relieved..."
"How could that be? Even if I'm just guessing, it seems I can't lose."
Li Ji said with considerable confidence.
"what?"
The raven raised a question mark above its head, looking somewhat puzzled.
Li Ji looked at the raven, whose face was full of curiosity, and Kannot exchanged a smile with him, then said to the raven:
"secret."
Just as Cannot said to Li Ji at the beginning—
I never cheat my colleagues.

……
I don’t know how long it took.
Inside the arena of Cannot.
An Hong put on his somewhat worn armor and looked at Han Yu, He Xian, and the others who were all ready to go that morning.
"Whose extras were we beating up today, guys?"
Dark Rainbow seemed to have long lost his former gentlemanly demeanor; now he was more like a down-on-his-luck knight.
"Look, isn't the schedule on the table...?"
Dark Rainbow picked up the course of the Cold Prison. His opponent was a general dressed in ancient armor, surrounded by red flames, like a demon in fire.
[The Melterblade, the Guardian of the King's Remnant (S-Rank)]
"What about you?"
Han Yu glanced at the enemy again, sighed, and said to He Xian beside him.
"He's not a good person either."
She also threw the schedule in her hand onto the table, on which was an elderly man wearing a black trench coat and a black top hat, with wings of light behind him.
Cliff, caught in a "bridge"
"Great, you have a chance today!"
Han Yu looked at the enemies on the course and said to He Xian with surprise.
"A chance? This schedule is two of us, Jesston and I, against him, and we don't even have any equipment! What makes me think I can compete?!"
"..."
Han Yu wanted to say something more to make amends, but when he remembered that he had been executed by this old man just yesterday, he immediately shook his head and said, "Never mind what I said."
Seeing that both of them had placed their schedules on the table, An Hong sighed and handed over his schedule as well.
The two were initially quite sad, but they suddenly cheered when they saw Dark Rainbow's schedule.
【Haranduhan - The Whip of the Earth (N15)】
The remaining two players also revealed their schedules, as if their greatest pleasure each day was seeing who had the toughest day.
Ducarreo "Monarch Red" (Torment), Echoing Kreisson (N12).
Looking at these five different race schedules, Dark Rainbow sighed and said:
"Sigh, do you think we still have a chance to go back?"
"go back……?"
Han Yu glanced at An Hong in surprise. He hadn't expected An Hong to ask such a question. "Look at those two knives in the Red King's hand and think it over carefully. You want to go back, but has he agreed?"
How long have we been here?
"I don't know. I gave up on counting days at least a year ago; it's pointless."
The group looked at each other wearily, but they couldn't find a single spark of light in each other's eyes.
They will probably never have any thoughts of cheating or gambling again in their lives.
