“Lightning Ball!”

“Fireball!”

Han Xing shouted, and all the lightning balls and fireballs he had been accumulating shot out at the five players from the Shadow Blade Guild.

There were hundreds of them. Seeing this, the players of Shadow Blade Guild were dumbfounded. What kind of skill was this? This was too abnormal!

Before they could think about it, all of them subconsciously opened up their defenses. After Wind Flower Snow Moon was eliminated from the competition, One Sword Horizon did not last long. Kitanoda, who was fighting with North Star, also quickly retreated from the battle.

Under the red light and lightning, Han Xing slowly steadied himself and stood on the spot. Looking at his empty mana bar, he had a bitter expression on his face. Next time, he still had to refine some pills to recover mana and health. This time, he did not use too many skills. He used all his mana on the condensation of Fireball and Lightning Ball.

North Star and the others had already seen how powerful Star Rebel was, so they all stopped attacking. The audience still didn’t know what had happened. It was true that the Shadow Blade Guild’s players had all moved to defense, but shouldn’t the Mad Dragon Guild make a move at this time?

Just as they were feeling puzzled, they heard a series of violent explosions. The smoke from the explosions enveloped the entire arena. They couldn’t see the situation of the Shadow Blade Guild clearly.

The explosions lasted for a full minute, and the audience was dumbfounded. The players from the other guilds in Country R widened their eyes. They didn’t need to guess to know who today’s winner was.

Sure enough, after the smoke dissipated, all the players from the Shadow Blade Guild were eliminated. The winner of this round was the Mad Dragon Guild.

After the two guilds successfully came down from the stage, Sasaki Jiro and Kitanoda, who had just been blown up, were still a little dazed.

They had never thought that skills could be combined like this. Star Rebel had really opened the door to a whole new world for them.

“Guild Master Star Rebel, you are very strong!” Kitanoda said in a weak tone and extended a hand to Han Xing. After the two of them shook hands in a friendly manner, North Star communicated with him in a familiar language.

Sasaki Jiro was surprised that North Star could speak their language, so he snorted coldly, “You won’t be so lucky next time.”

“Of course,” North Star smiled and said, “Even if we want to be opponents next time, it would be hard for us to meet.”

These words made Sasaki Jiro’s face turn red. However, as a loser, he really did not have the right to continue shouting at the winner. After the members of the Shadow Blade Guild left, the Mad Dragon Guild’s players were ecstatic.

After defeating the Shadow Blade Guild, their guild’s ranking had risen to 198th place. This was a solid ranking in the top 200 guilds. With so many guilds in the Second World, it was already very impressive for them to reach such a level.

“I wonder how the company behind Second World will continue to select these guilds next time. Based on the current situation, the next guild battle will definitely not be a one-on-one battle. It’s very likely that they would set up a large dungeon for the guilds to conduct a selection competition,” said North Star thoughtfully.

However, Han Xing didn’t say anything. He just nodded and replied, “That’s probably the case!” Of course, he knew that the following developments were what North Star had expected, but he could not directly expose this statement.

In his previous life, when the guild rankings reached this point in time, the Second World would directly arrange dungeons. Those guilds that could clear the dungeons would be able to advance smoothly, and those that could not clear it would be eliminated.

It wasn’t easy to get to the top of the guild leaderboard. Thinking of this, Han Xing sighed.

After they returned to the guild, before Han Xing could join the celebration party, Wind Flower Snow Moon came to him and whispered, “Guild Master, I have something to say to you.”

Han Xing felt a little awkward when he thought about what happened between them last time. He nodded and said, “Let’s talk on the balcony outside!”

White Jade Snow Orchid thought that the two of them were secretly plotting something and was about to eavesdrop when she was stopped by Turban Qiaoqiao. She was very interested in White Jade Snow Orchid’s attack today and hoped that she could tell her in detail.

It was rare for Turban Qiaoqiao to talk to her. White Jade Snow Orchid immediately put away her other thoughts and pulled her away to tell her about the battle plan.

The two of them on the balcony did not speak for a while. After a long time, Han Xing was about to break the awkward atmosphere when Wind Flower Snow Moon said dejectedly, “Guild Master, I’m getting married.”

Han Xing was dumbfounded by her words. He had seen Wind Flower Snow Moon in real life and understood her personality. How could she get married just like that?

“Isn’t that a little too sudden?”

Wind Flower Snow Moon turned around, her eyes filled with seriousness. She said, “This is my family’s arrangement. As a member of an aristocratic family, I have no choice. This time, the elders in the family have already given the final order.”

“Guild Master, if my actions that night caused you trouble, I’m very sorry. I just want to put away my last bit of feelings before I get married.”

Han Xing had already understood the meaning behind her words. He was silent for a moment before saying, “You’re not willing to get married.”

Wind Flower Snow Moon nodded lightly. She did not know when, but her heart had long been filled with the man in front of her. Perhaps it was a ridiculous thing to fall in love in the game. However, she really could not control the feelings that kept spreading.

“You can live according to your own wishes. You don’t have to live so tiredly.”

She had heard these words countless times, but it was only when she heard Star Rebel say it that she felt extremely comforted.

“Guild Master, I like you.”

Wind Flower Snow Moon took a deep breath and finally said those words with difficulty. Her entire face was flushed red. If she wasn’t getting married, she wouldn’t have said those words no matter what.

Now that she had said this, she felt much more relaxed. At least she would not have any regrets in the end.

“I know, but 1 can’t give you any specific promises.” He had returned in this life, but he had not been able to save his sister’s life. He had not been able to let the people who had harmed him in his previous life get what they deserved.

If he really wanted to start a new relationship, it definitely wouldn’t be now.

“This is also what 1 like about you, Guild Master. Guild Master, you are very sincere.”

Wind Flower Snow Moon smiled. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

“No matter what, I hope that you will think about it carefully. You shouldn’t limit yourself in your life.”

Han Xing wasn’t good at comforting others. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t interested in romance, but if it was her choice, he would respect her wishes..
