Chapter 131: A New Round

Members of other guilds also paid attention to the situation on Han Xing’s side. They were all astonished to see how quickly Star Rebel took down the first boss.
Some top guild players were almost on par with Han Xing’s speed. If this trend continued, Han Xing would definitely pull further ahead of them. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to temporarily suppress their grievances. Now, it was a pure test of speed, and they had to act swiftly and strike.
There were rewards for killing the top ten on the leaderboard. Since they had already participated in the event, they were determined to secure their positions on the leaderboard.
Sun Heng from King’s Guild had already led their team to matches several times, but they were always overtaken by others, which made him increasingly furious. He was outraged beyond measure to see his loathed nemesis, the Star Rebel, defeating a boss.
In the end, it was Liu Feng who comforted him and told him to wait for the right moment. They could directly mobilize the entire guild to participate in the matches, which would increase their chances of taking down a boss.
The White Rainbow Guild, consisting of members from three different guilds, was slower than Han Xing by just over half an hour. Upon seeing the rankings on the guild leaderboard with Mad Dragon Guild occupying the top three spots, they immediately began the next match.
Most of the players watching the live broadcast either did not have the time to participate or were low-level ordinary players. The exhilarating battle led by Star Rebel ignited their passion.
Unfortunately, due to Han Xing’s recent battle against ordinary players, his name flooded the official forum, and all the posts discussing tactics and combat skills were buried.
[“Star Rebel’s Fanatics, Come and Take a Look!”]
This headline instantly attracted countless netizens. The person behind it was one of the players who matched with Han Xing.
“Damn it, who the hell is this Star Rebel! Just because he has a little strength, he’s acting all high and mighty, disregarding us ordinary players. Sooner or later, he’ll face the backlash. 1 want to see how far he can go!”
“Trash! His current position is all thanks to you bunch of fanatics. Disgusting! He’s nothing more than a filthy creature! Worthless piece of shit!”
This player became more vicious with his insults, and many others joined in the bashing. There were already many players who did not like Han Xing, and now their enthusiasm for criticizing him was further inflamed.
Some rational players tried to bring some clarity, stating that it was pointless to engage in verbal battles when they could not match his skills. Instead, they should form alliances with other players to quickly obtain rewards.
These rational words had no effect and were even met with counter-insults. As a result, both sides engaged in a heated argument, and the official forum quickly turned into a gathering place for haters.
Some players directly exposed the poster’s in-game account. While watching the live broadcast, they noticed that this player frequently targeted other guilds in an attempt to defame them, but those guilds were tough opponents. Unable to gain any advantage, the player went crazy on the forum.
Han Xing did not care about the forum at all. No matter how intense the arguments became, he remained indifferent. Looking at the settlement on the panel, he could not help but smile. This time, the rewards were exceedingly abundant. He had obtained dozens of pieces of white-grade equipment just by defeating two bosses. Not to mention the other weapons, which would surely fetch a good price.
After this round of battles had concluded, Han Xing wasted no time and immediately initiated the third round. As the third round began, the players from Mad Dragon Guild directed their gazes toward Han Xing.
There was a reason for this. This time, the boss was a strange gigantic bird flying in the air. Its incredible speed made it beyond the reach of anyone except ranged attackers like mages. Other ranged warriors were less agile compared to mages.
“Well, now it’s my turn to protect you, kid,” One Sword Horizon patted Fourteen Continents on the shoulder.
“Get lost!” Fourteen Continents rolled his eyes, then turned to North Star. “There aren’t many ranged attackers in Mad Dragon Guild. Most of them are in Watercloud Guild.”
Fleeting Life had no objections and gently looked at Han Xing. “Guild Master Star Rebel, our ranged damage output is not a problem, but if we want to cause significant damage, we can only rely on you.”
At this point, Fleeting Life felt somewhat awkward. Their damage and attack methods had no significant issues. The only drawback was the damage, which was mediocre.
When facing ordinary players, it was a minor issue, but in boss battles like this, it became a fatal flaw. Their bodies were too fragile to unleash rapid attack moves. Compared to Han Xing’s Lightning Array skill, they were indeed inferior.
“Don’t worry,” Han Xing glanced at the other unfortunate players who were matched with him. “Just protect me as much as you can.”
This time, Turban Qiaoqiao also joined the battle, leaving the interception of other players to One Sword Horizon and the melee players.
The girls from Watercloud Guild could not contain their excitement upon hearing that they could protect Han Xing. Their faces were filled with excitement.
“Guild Master, let me do it. I can be Guild Master Star Rebel’s personal bodyguard.”
“Being a personal bodyguard is nothing. I will form the protection circle!”
“Let me do it, let me do it. I love doing this kind of protective work!”
“Guild Master, I’m sorry, but today my protective target is Guild Master Star Rebel. Please take care of yourself!”
“Guild Master Star Rebel, the shield I provide not only offers protection but also has damage output.”
Fleeting Life was speechless when she saw the usually reserved female players eagerly vying with each other to protect Star Rebel.
The female players surrounded Han Xing as they spoke.
“Stop it! You’re really embarrassing me! 1’11 arrange it later!”
The image of the Watercloud Guild was one of ethereal elegance. These female players donned long dresses and robes, resembling celestial fairies.
The viewers in the live broadcast were dumbfounded to see them so unreserved and impatient.
These Watercloud Guild female players were known for their aloofness. Just talking to them a little more or asking for their help would only trigger their vexation.
There was no other choice. After all, the Watercloud Guild recruited talented female players, and sometimes they were needed to assist in the guild.
However, no one expected to witness this double-standard behavior from these female players. The juxtaposition revealed a stark contrast. The endless barrage of comments on the screen was overwhelmingly sardonic..
