"Ah... thereās no escaping now. Itās pretty generous of the Dominator to let us last this long... After this ends, I might as well join that... Earth Community, I suppose. Now that I think about it, the timing is really just about right... Itās all according to a vision I saw in the River of Time..."
Before the old man could finish his words, he was teleported directly to the treasure land.
...
Simultaneously, all over the world, every professionist who met the Dominatorās requirements was forcibly teleported to the treasure land.
The sheer number was terrifying!!!
There were seven of them just from Cathay! Apart from three from the military, there were four other super-powerful experts who were not under Lin Haifengās control or knowledge!
This world teemed with hidden talents. Some disdained the Ranks, others were indifferent to such empty titles. Still others had extraordinary encounters, their power skyrocketing so quickly they hadnāt time to earn a formal rank. For these various reasons, the powerful experts outside the Sequence Ranks were, in fact, even more numerous than the original Sequence-class experts!
Now, thanks to Lin Haifengās little trick, the Dominator disregarded the personal will of these powerful experts outside the Sequence and initiated forcible teleportation!
This also meant that all current powerful experts in the world had been completely drawn into this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle!
It was conceivable that if the Dominatorās temptation was great enough this time, this Sequence Member-Ranking Battle would undoubtedly become an epic competition. At the same time, it would also weed out all the slackers in the Ranks!
...
ćInside the treasure land of the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle.ć
Watching the teleportation lights flashing intermittently outside the arena, Wen Yu remained calm and collected.
He possessed absolute confidence in his strength; so confident that, at present, he feared no challenge!
"Some hard nuts to crack are here!"
Tang Haofei seemed to see through the protective shield of the arena as he looked into the distance, muttering under his breath.
"Oh? How strong?"
Wen Yu was somewhat puzzled and tried to gather some intelligence beforehand.
Tang Haofei smirked.
"Three very powerful Energy Fluctuations... How would I know exactly how strong they are? Besides, itās not as if stronger Energy Fluctuations automatically mean greater combat power..."
He certainly had a point. Battles hold too many uncertainties, and thereās no guarantee that the stronger combatant will necessarily win.
Tang Haofei added, "Are you scared? Scared of losing your Sequence Number 2 spot?"
"Scared?"
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"To be honest, I think you should be the one whoās scared. If the reward is high enough, I might even want to take that top spot!"
Tang Haofei shook his head slightly. "Donāt even think about it. Iāll tell you very seriously, I am absolutely invincible in this world! I was in the past, I am now, and I will be in the future!"
"Then Iād certainly like to experience that for myself."
Tang Haofei smiled in the face of Wen Yuās challenge, gently blinking at him.
"Come on, if you dare, Iāll let you witness what real power is!!!"
Wen Yu was silent...
When it comes to trash talk, Wen Yu really was no match.
...
ćHalf an hour passed quickly.ć
During this time, the challenge corridor was temporarily closed.
When the white teleportation light outside finally subsided, the Dominator appeared once again.
First, he looked around at everyone present in the treasure land, then the Dominator nodded in satisfaction.
"This round actually seems somewhat interesting."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but the Dominatorās Spiritual Fluctuation was transmitted very clearly into the minds of all professionists present.
The next second, the Dominatorās Spiritual Fluctuation spread out, announcing the new rulesāor rather, the reward rulesāto all those present!
"In the upcoming Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, the rules wonāt change. The professionists entering the Sequence Member-Ranking Battle treasure land later must first participate in a qualifying war. After thatās finished, a challenge match will commence immediately!"
"At the same time, to get you to show your real strength, the rewards this time have practically used up all my reserves."
