Chapter 279: Group Battle Commences

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The moment he saw Feng Luo, September Night Rain was quite shocked. Then his face became distorted. Naturally, he was shocked because he recognized him.

Although the two of them had met on the leisure platform in Storm City a couple of days ago only once, due to Sister Rui, Feng Luo had left a deep impression on him. As for the distortion of his face that came later, it was naturally due to the information revealed by Nightingale’s words, which was that Feng Luo was Number 99!

Number 99!

After his group’s points were deducted by the system as punishment, this Number 99 person sat firmly in first place. If it were any other ranking, he would have definitely not cared, but for Number 99, he definitely remembered it. It was because this number had taken the spot that he thought belonged to him!

Before September Night Rain took part in the hidden mission, he had resolved himself to kill Number 99—if Number 99 also accepted the hidden mission and if he were to encounter him during the mission.

What he didn’t expect was that now that he had met him, his face became distorted. It was clear that he had intentionally shown off in front of Feng Luo and Sister Rui before, saying that he was headed to a hidden profession change mission! He would never have imagined that the person he was gloating to had actually received the same Special Agent exam mission.

And now, his points were so much more than his! He felt as if he had been punched straight in the face!

However, though he looked terrible, September Night Rain’s countenance sank.

So what if he is ranked Number One? That’s nothing.

That was because, if his points weren’t deducted because of the Hound Organization, his points would have been higher than Number 99!

Moreover, the previous missions were either intel-gathering or assassinations. For missions like that, he, as a Sniper, has far greater advantages compared to me, an Energy Manipulator! But this is a PK battle. Combat strength is the most important! Also, as long as I get rid of him in the battle, all my shame and embarrassment will be returned to him, and with Miss Rui...

September Night Rain’s sunken gaze locked onto Feng Luo.

He chose to ignore the fact that if it weren’t for the help of the Hound Organization, he never would have been able to get to the second rank. One could have even said that if it hadn’t been for clues provided by the Hound Organization, he might not have even been able to obtain intel about the hidden mission.

However, when September Night Rain stared at Feng Luo, Feng Luo did not even look at him.

At that moment, Feng Luo was picking up the bullet stuck into the pillar behind him with a cold expression. Then he stared straight at Nightingale.

“Ha!”

Seeing Feng Luo dodge the bullet he flicked, Nightingale sneered. He no longer made sudden gestures like that again. Instead, he only flicked the bullets within the magazine one-by-one into the hands of everyone!

After 20 seconds, everyone held a bullet with a direction carved onto it. Then, at the request of Nightingale, everyone stepped out of the pavilion and moved to the center of the platform under the pitch-black sky pouring with heavy rain.

Only Haruko did not move. She remained inside the pavilion, but Nightingale and Hunting Tiger did not seem to object to it.

“Next, all of you just head toward your designated spot. Take note that after you’ve entered the forest, you’ll be able to move freely inside your zone! But you have to wait 30 seconds before you can start attacking each other. The group battle examination will end when five have been eliminated! Of course, if the three of us instructors sustain sufficient damage, we’ll also be included in the eliminated name list!”

Nightingale looked at all the players gathered around him in the heavy rain and announced, “Now, the examination has begun!”

The moment Nightingale said the word “begun,” a bolt of lightning struck across the raining sky and lit up everyone’s faces.

And the moment the lightning struck, every player had already started to move.

“Charge!”

Big Pineapple, Phoenix, and Number 74—the three warrior players—instantly cast the Charge skill and charged in three different directions.

“It looks like Phoenix has pretty bad luck!”

Seeing that Phoenix and Number 74’s directions were side by side, Feng Luo knew that it was highly possible that the only two Light Armor Warriors among the ten would be the first to engage in battle!

Phoenix wasn’t weak, but in terms of combat awareness, Feng Luo did not think that she was top-notch. Compared to Number 74, who also had rare skills, it was hard to say who would win.

And the next one to move after the three warriors was the Scout player who used the black dagger. His body seemed to have transformed into a black shadow in an instant before merging into the darkness shrouded by rain. In a few steps, even Feng Luo’s enhanced vision could no longer see him clearly!

“Hey!” And moving after him was Nightingale with his usual cold smile. As for his direction...”Big Pineapple!”

Feng Luo saw that the direction he moved toward was almost leaning in Big Pineapple’s direction. His heart sank again. Although he wasn’t sure if this was just bad luck or cheating, Big Pineapple seemed to be in real danger!

However, the next moment, Feng Luo saw September Night Rain, who had cast a speed-boosting Wind skill on himself. He ran toward a certain area, and Feng Luo’s gaze became sharp and cold.

Looks like my luck isn’t that bad!

Before this, he hadn’t really looked at September Night Rain, but he did feel September Night Rain’s gaze.

“Storm City’s top ten masters. Superstar player. I wonder how he fares compared to the two in the match we viewed that time...”

Quick Sneak!

Also using a speed-enhancing skill, Feng Luo’s body charged into the night like an arrow, brushing off the raindrops in his way in a straight line.

His direction? It was almost parallel to that of September Night Rain!

******

In five short seconds, everyone had entered the dark forest!

Only Haruko remained inside the pavilion. The fire illuminating her black samurai uniform, she stood up slowly while holding her sakura-pattern black samurai sword!

It was because the position carved on her bullet was precisely there! It was the only bright place just beside the cliff.

******

“24K!”

The moment Feng Luo entered the forest, the psionic energy of 24K on his shoulders had already started to fluctuate!

The next moment, a black hole appeared on the ground with some puddles and fallen leaves, and two Scout Beetles exited the hole consecutively. Then, a sharp “Sickle” appeared behind them!

In truth, a battle within a limited space was incredibly disadvantageous for Feng Luo. The platform was only 200 to 300 square meters. Even if the forest on the edge were to be included, the diameter of the peak was less than 50 meters. It was impossible for a Sniper to realize his full potential within such a short distance.

COMMENT

However, after he had accumulated enough kill points to unlock the pet bracer, his strength was no longer constrained by the combat arena. Moreover, by saving his previous psionic energy consumption, 24K’s psionic energy storage was enough for it to summon all of its beetles and support them for 10 minutes!

He had sufficient trump cards in this battle in the night rain!
