Chapter 185

Lin Moyu smiled, "I know about this; it was even in the news back then. It's fine, I have it under control."

Ning Yiyi sighed, "Regardless, you must be careful. After all, you're only level 27 right now, not even at the second transition."

"Mhm, I will be careful."

Lin Moyu agreed verbally, looking up at the stars, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

He had killed quite a few people, and even more demons; the murderous intent he had accumulated by now was not insignificant.

Once it erupted, anyone timid would definitely be frightened.

"I hope you all make a move."

"Otherwise, I'd be a failure as bait."

Lin Moyu thought about what Bai Yiyuan had asked him to do.

When he was asked to act as bait back then, he had agreed without hesitation.

He knew his own situation well; to kill him, it would require a top-tier Professional above level 70 to take action.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy.

Ning Yiyi leaned her little head against Lin Moyu's arm, saying no more.

The worry in her eyes remained.

Her usual chattering demeanor was gone, and she had become much, much quieter.

The two of them just sat there quietly admiring the night sky; this feeling seemed quite nice too.

The warm sun rose, and the light curtain that had shrouded them all night vanished.

Everyone discovered that the entire competition venue had completely changed.

The individual arenas from before had disappeared.

Now, the three areas for the three groups had turned into three gigantic arenas.

Each arena exceeded 200 meters in diameter, providing enough room for maneuvering.

For low-level Professionals under level 40, such a large arena was more than enough.

And the arena for the high-level Professionals' finals was even larger, reaching a diameter of 1000 meters.

A massive formation array shrouded the area above the arenas.

Each arena not only had a referee but also top-tier Healers.

They stood in the void, staring at the arenas with solemn expressions.

From the preliminaries of the Professionals Tournament to the current finals, the officials of the Shenxia Empire had not come forward to say anything.

Nor were there any hosts or the like.

Because it wasn't needed.

People were here to watch the competition, not the hosts.

Perhaps only when the awards ceremony arrived would the officials of the Shenxia Empire come forward to say a few words.

"Look, what is that!"

Suddenly, someone pointed at the sky and shouted.

Chapter 179: Shrine Maiden, Lin Moyu is really done for this time.

Three light orbs appeared before the eyes of the world.

Inside each light orb was a large chest, golden and gleaming.

Beside the chest floated a bottle of light purple potion, as well as a golden, glowing skill scroll.

Needless to say, the chests were filled with gold coins.

In the low-level competition, for the three groups, the champion's reward for each group was the same.

50 million gold coins, one bottle of Primary Magic Potion, and one glowing Primary Skill Scroll.

In the eyes of most people, 50 million gold coins was not a small sum.

Especially for Professionals under level 40, it definitely wasn't a small amount.

As for the Primary Magic Potion and the glowing Primary Skill Scroll, they were treasures that were priceless and hard to find.

If these two items were put up for sale, they would fetch at least a hundred million.

"So this is the Primary Magic Potion; it can be consumed by those under level 40, permanently increasing all attributes by 200."

"This thing is very hard to buy on the outside; it won't be in the exchanges, and it rarely appears in auctions."

"And the glowing skill scroll, although it's only primary, it's still a priceless treasure."

Primary skills are not necessarily useless.

Many skills can grow.

Most Professionals simply cannot master all of their own skills.

Even if they use a massive amount of skill scrolls, it's possible they might miss one or two skills.

The rule for using skill scrolls is that the more comprehensive your skill mastery, the higher the probability of success.

It is very possible that for the last skill, even if you throw hundreds or thousands of skill scrolls at it, you might not succeed.

At this time, a glowing skill scroll can play a huge role.

The three light orbs flew in mid-air, telling all participants that the prizes were right here, and whether you could take them depended on your ability.

The Professionals below stared at the prizes, their eyes gleaming, determined to win them.

Lin Moyu glanced at them and then looked away; if he wanted to see them, he could just look at them slowly once he got his hands on them.

As the prizes appeared, today's competition officially kicked off.

Lin Moyu's team was the 333rd to enter the arena.

Only he went up on stage.

Ning Yiyi and the other three were resting off-stage.

Anyway, going up there was just watching the show, so it was better to watch from below.

Miao Yu whispered, "This time, we drew the team from Sakura Country; the opponents seem quite strong."

Jiang Taotao hummed in agreement, "The person leading the Sakura Country team this time is named Nanako, and her profession is Shrine Maiden, a profession unique to Sakura Country."

"This profession is very mysterious; there isn't much recorded information, and although its rank isn't Legendary, it's said to be very strange."

Every country and every faction always harbors some special bloodlines.

Thus, many unique professions have been born.

Sakura Country has two unique professions.

One is the widely known Legendary-rank profession, Onmyoji.

The other is relatively mysterious and is called Shrine Maiden.

Shrine Maiden is classified as a Rare profession, rarely appearing in the outside world, and there is very little information about it.

It belongs to an extremely mysterious type of profession.

The Sakura Country team walked onto the arena; the leader, Nanako, was wearing the unique attire of Sakura Country and wooden shoes.

They would creak when she walked.

Standing behind her were one Knight, two Archers, and two Mages.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Moyu of the Shenxia Empire."

Nanako bowed slightly toward Lin Moyu, appearing very polite.

This is also the impression Sakura Country gives many people—particularly polite.

As for whether their hearts are dirty, only they themselves know.

Lin Moyu was not fond of Sakura Country; there was only conflict and contradiction between them.

Lin Moyu was very clear that the Onmyoji named Tojo Taro wished he could kill him, and if he had the chance, he wouldn't let the other party off either.

Seeing that Lin Moyu didn't react at all, Nanako took two more steps forward and lowered her voice further.

"His Majesty the Emperor is very interested in Mr. Lin's profession, and His Majesty sincerely invites Mr. Lin Moyu to join our country."

"If Mr. Lin has any requests, feel free to make them; Nanako can agree to anything."

The meaning in her eyes was something any man would understand.

It must be said that Nanako was very beautiful.

Her whole body exuded stunning charm.

Purely in terms of looks, she was no worse than any woman Lin Moyu had ever met.

However, in Lin Moyu's eyes, no matter how beautiful she was, it was useless.

Ning Yiyi heard Nanako's words and waved her fist, "What a bitch."

Miao Yu echoed, "Indeed, despicable!"

A hint of disgust appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes, "Get lost."

Nanako didn't mind, "Mr. Lin can take some time to consider it."

Saying this, she retreated to the middle of the team, and the Knight in the team blocked the front of Nanako.

The Knight was tall and burly, completely shielding Nanako; from the front, one couldn't see Nanako at all.

If one wanted to attack her, one had to defeat the Knight first.

The formation array on the arena flickered, forming a large light curtain that surrounded the entire arena.

With a soft sound, the competition began.

Two Skeleton Mages instantly appeared beside Lin Moyu.

The Skeleton Mages immediately used their skills.

On the Sakura Country side, a phantom appeared in the air.

It had a human face and a snake body, neither human nor monster.

"Shikigami?"

Lin Moyu instinctively thought it was a Shikigami, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't.

This phantom opened its giant mouth and actually swallowed all the attacks of the Skeleton Mages.

A coquettish laugh rang out, and Nanako poked her head out from behind the Knight, "Mr. Lin, this is our Sakura Country's Human-Faced Snake God, which can devour any elemental attack. Therefore, your attacks are ineffective against us."

Lin Moyu was not surprised.

Being able to reach the finals, they definitely had some tricks up their sleeves.

How could they be easily dealt with?

Since elemental attacks were ineffective, he would try physical attacks.

Five Skeleton Warriors appeared before him, running over with a clattering sound.

At this moment, a phantom appeared above the Sakura Country team again.

A monster covered in spikes, with a head like a wild boar and a body like a savage ox, appeared in the air.

"Skill: Spirit Possession!"

Amidst Nanako's coquettish shout, that wild boar-like monster dove into the Knight's body.

Red light erupted from the Knight's eyes, and his aura surged, like a gale sweeping across the arena.

At the same time, a roar like a beast erupted from his mouth.

Skill: Group Taunt!
