Chapter 626 - 297: Wager Duel! Challenging Tier 3! (Part 2)

"Other Shore."

"Tier."

"Tier Two."

"Is it really Tier Two?"

The cat lady looked up, her smile growing deeper, looking forward to the upcoming battle even more.

Since the opponent dared to challenge Tier Three, there was probably some kind of trump card or a dirty tactic involved. Crossing tiers in battle wasn’t unheard of; many top geniuses could defeat powerhouses stronger than themselves.

However, the strategies used by these people were often quite unconventional, because in a normal fight, their stats couldn’t possibly match those of Tier Three. After all, anyone who could enter the Special Training Camp couldn’t be weak.

"Level and Profession."

The cat lady continued to ask.

Ye Mingqiu thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Should I fill in the profession recorded in the school, or the profession I feel I am?"

"Nonsense, of course, you have to fill in the official profession. Otherwise, if you fill it randomly, wouldn’t that be deceiving? Like filling a warrior profession for magic, then secretly storing up magic attacks. How does that make sense?" The cat lady said as if it were obvious.

"Oh, then I’m relieved."

"?"

"Level 1 Support."

"Huh?"

The cat lady looked up in confusion, blinking as if to confirm she hadn’t misheard.

Having been in the arena for a long time, she considered herself experienced and had seen all kinds of situations, but a Tier Two Level 1 Support coming to battle in a Tier Three duel... this was a first for her.

"Are you sure you’re Tier Two Level 1 Support?"

"Sure."

"Are you sure you want to duel with Tier Three?"

"Yes."

"Hiss..."

The cat lady scratched her head, her small head filled with big questions. She couldn’t quite figure out what this guy wanted to do, whether he had some bizarre strategy or special means.

But what kind of method could allow a Tier Two Level 1 Support to defeat a Tier Three powerhouse? Or is it even possible to win?

With his ability, even if his skills hit a Tier Three, it would likely be directly resisted, right?

Could it be there’s some kind of ace up his sleeve?

"Since you are a Tier Two Spiritualist, you can additionally choose the challenge range, any level within Tier Three. You can freely choose, both the upper and lower limits can be specified, and the profession can also be limited." The cat lady continued.

"Above Tier Three Level 1, below Tier Three Level 10, no profession restrictions." Ye Mingqiu answered.

The key point here was setting the condition above Tier Three Level 1, which would prevent him from matching with Tang Ruobing in the upcoming duel.

"....Alright."

The cat lady filled out the information, becoming increasingly curious about how he would fight next, and asked, "How many points do you want to wager in the duel? Just a reminder, the difficulty of obtaining points is very high, so if you’re not very confident, don’t wager too much."

"I’ll bet five points."

"Sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

The cat lady didn’t stop him any further. After all, she was just in charge of the registration, and a courteous reminder was enough. Asking repeatedly would be condescending, and there was no need to say more.

Soon, a duel contract was completed, and she placed the contract in front of Ye Mingqiu, saying, "The contract is drafted, you can sign it now."

[Hint: You have received a contract....]

"Hmm."

Ye Mingqiu glanced at it roughly, and once he confirmed there were no issues with the contract, he signed it directly.

Afterward, an exclusive duel contract for him appeared in the arena, available for any Spiritualist within the rules to challenge.

In the arena, the number of duel contracts wasn’t small, but the points wagered in those duels were too many, and Ye Mingqiu didn’t have enough points to bet against those people, as he only had five points at the moment.

"I’m also going to duel."

Tang Ruobing spoke up.

"Hmm."

....

A few minutes later, the cat lady scratched her head in confusion, looking at Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing who were sitting in the resting area reading books while waiting for challengers. She couldn’t understand why these two Tier Two Level 1 individuals were here challenging Tier Three Spiritualists. What were they thinking? Did they have some powerful ace up their sleeve?

"Ding!"

Suddenly, a message from the Spirit Realm arrived, an update from her superior, prompting the cat lady to open and read it carefully.

"Urgent closure of the duel function?"

"Functional maintenance?"

"Huh?"

The cat lady scratched her head in confusion. Having worked here for so long, she had never seen such a thing as functional maintenance. Everything here was regularly maintained, making it unlikely that a sudden issue would arise.

So she asked her superior: What is going on? This doesn’t seem as simple as functional maintenance.

The superior replied: Two monsters have come, and you mustn’t let them in, or they will turn the arena system into a beehive.

Superior: When you meet them, just say that as the Special Training Camp hasn’t started yet, there are fewer internal trainees, and cross-tier dueling is undergoing functional adjustments. Just give them 100 points compensation.

Suddenly, the cat lady’s heart skipped a beat, then she asked: What do they look like? Are there any specific features?

Superior: Two Tier Two Level 1 Spiritualists, one male, one female, looking very close.

Cat Lady: Are you talking about them?

Cat Lady: [Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing.JPG]

Superior: Yes, that’s them.

Superior: They got in? And they found a loophole so quickly? Don’t let them register.

Cat Lady: ....What should I do now that they’ve already registered?

Superior: If they’ve already registered, you can’t say it’s functional maintenance now, that’s too obvious. Just let those Tier Three students endure.

Cat Lady: What? Are these two really that strong?

Superior: The two of them together directly snatched a top-tier First Level world, and they single-handedly took down six factions, killing all the strong ones from other factions. Do you think they’re strong?

Cat Lady: Huh?

Cat Lady: Are Spiritualists really that fierce?

Superior: These two can probably fight Tier Three without advancing. Once they do, they’ll be even stronger, and those Hero Level Tier Threes will probably be overwhelmed.

Cat Lady: What about Legendary Level? Could they fight them?

Superior: Do you think they’d be that foolish? Earning points efficiently is what’s most important. Why would they waste time challenging Legendary Level? Even if they could fight, it’s inefficient and doesn’t earn points quickly. Plus, they’d have to reveal more of their trump cards, which isn’t worth it.

Superior: Besides, those Tier Three Legendary Levels are unlikely to challenge a Tier Two Level 1, right? Winning is fine, but if they lose, won’t they be laughed at?

Cat Lady: Then it’s over. If these two are really that strong, the whole arena scene will change drastically.

Cat Lady: From a tier perspective, they fit most people’s challenging criteria. Under normal circumstances, no one would restrict weaker individuals from challenging them. As long as they accumulate enough starting points, most people in the arena are doomed!

Superior: Let them be doomed. After getting beaten up, they’ll adjust their preferences. Hopefully, their mindset can withstand the blows.

....

"Ding!"

[Match Successful]

The crisp notification from the Spirit Realm rang, and a smile appeared on Ye Mingqiu’s face. It seemed someone had come to challenge him, the Tier Two Level 1 Support.

On the surface, his registration in the Tier Three side seemed like he’s giving away points, but surely there’s a hidden trump card. Any Spiritualist with a normal mind could think of this.

Even so, the opponent still challenged him because they were confident enough in the strength difference between Tier Three and Tier Two, thinking they could handle it.

[Your opponent’s information is as follows]

Codename: Tao Long

Profession: Warrior System

Professional Level: Hero Level

Strength Level: Tier Three Level 2

[Upon confirmation, you will be automatically transported to the arena. You have 30 seconds to confirm. Failure to confirm will automatically be deemed a forfeit]

"Confirm."

The next moment, Ye Mingqiu appeared in the core of the arena, in a vast open space with only a few scattered spectators.

On the other side of the ring stood a towering man about two and a half meters tall. He looked at Ye Mingqiu with a smile and said, "Another newcomer, and a fanciful one at that."

"Let me show you that the real gap in strength... can’t be made up for with those trick tactics. You better remember it!"

"Hahaha!"
