The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 206 He is the strongest in the Qing City organization!
The Chuzhou municipal agency team is moving southeast.

Although this Chuzhou team made it into the top ten, they received very little attention.

Apart from their local agencies paying attention, no one else seemed to notice the existence of this small team.

Even in discussions among spectators, almost no one had any hope for them.

In everyone's eyes, even in the eyes of those top-tier field agents... they had no chance of competing for the championship.

They struggled and persevered all the way, and even needed a bit of luck to make it to the finals.

Some people say that the Fengtian team is more qualified to enter the top ten than the Chuzhou team, and that the team's achievements are more significant.

After all, Fengtian only lost because they faced both the championship favorites, Sichuan, and the top-tier team, Yanjing...

However, the members of the Chuzhou team did not think that way.

Like the other teams, their goal is to win the championship.

Especially under such public opinion, they want to prove themselves even more!

At this moment, they are speeding through the forest.

One of the team members asked:

"Brother Cui, are we really going to go look for him?"

"That noise was rather strange, we'd better avoid it, wouldn't we?"

The team members felt that the move to find the source of the loud noise was somewhat risky, but it was the judgment made by Cui Bo, the captain of the Chuzhou City team. Although he felt it was wrong, he could only make such a suggestion and could not go against the captain's judgment.

Captain Cui Bo responded:

"It cannot be avoided."

"If the goal is to be number one, then a battle is inevitable."

"I want to earn points, I want to get a ranking to prove myself..."

"We must seize the limited points we have!"

"If you're only thinking about not making mistakes, then you might as well stay where you are."

In these words, Cui Bo had made his thoughts very clear.

In fact, this is the judgment made by the vast majority of teams.

Within this vast arena, trying to gain points by killing alien beasts is too inefficient. Therefore, it's better to focus on conquering other teams. Eliminating an entire team will earn you 100 points, and this source of points is the fundamental way to ultimately win the championship.

"Nobody believes in us..."

Cui Bo said with a sharp look in his eyes:
"However, the format of the preliminary rounds did not allow us to truly demonstrate our abilities."

"Aren't you resentful?"

"..."

"To prove myself in the finals, I have to face those top players head-on!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "Whatever the source of the loud noise, at least three teams around it will be aware of it."

"Let's get there as soon as possible; we might just be able to reap the benefits."

"Of course, as you said, it could also be a trap."

"But... a five-on-five situation is precisely where our advantage lies."

The team member didn't say anything more. Now that things had come to this point, there was no reason to back down.

The five-person team from Chuzhou City was still searching for their target. Two of the team members were using their mental powers to scan their surroundings in preparation for possible ambushes, while also being cautious of the possibility of an ambush.

A few minutes later, the voice of the team's psychopath rang out on the communication channel in Chuzhou City:

"Team Leader Cui!"

"Five hundred meters ahead..."

"At least three people are fighting!"

Upon hearing this, the five of them stopped in their tracks in the jungle. Four of them turned their gaze toward the psychic girl who had spoken, awaiting further investigation.

After carefully discerning the situation, the psychic continued, "Confirmed to be in combat!"

"There are four enemies within range, and the whereabouts of other enemies have not yet been determined!"

Cui Bo frowned.

Four enemies?

"Did the reconnaissance teams from both sides start fighting?"

"...Now is the perfect time to collect points!"

His eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"Prepare to encircle them!"

"These forty points are a must-have!"

As he spoke, he took the long spear from his back:
"Just like the arrangements made beforehand..."

"Get ready to fight!"

The distance of just 500 meters can be covered in no time by speeding through the forest.

Cui Bo saw the two sides engaged in battle, and they were already fighting fiercely.

The man with the dagger was fighting the woman with the sword. The dagger and the sword clashed and sparks flew. It was clear at a glance that the two were very skilled fighters, but for the time being, neither could gain the upper hand.

Although the fight was extremely risky, both sides avoided fatal blows with their skillful footwork and tactics, and for a time the clanging and banging sounds were endless.

Cui Bo recognized the woman wielding the sword:

"Are they from Qing City?"

"I know that girl, her name is Li Yi... Which organization does that boy work for?"

"And Chen Ming, who practices Tai Chi, is here too. It seems he's wary of a fourth person..."

"..."

Seeing this, Cui Bo smiled.
"Hmph...a favorite to win?"

"If a few of you get taken down now, will you still be a popular pick?"

"Qing City's biggest drawback is that it lacks experts in mental cultivation..."

Cui Bo knew perfectly well that this was the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack and score!
He raised his hand as a blade and slashed downwards fiercely from thin air...

This is the order to begin the operation!

Five figures swiftly emerged from the forest and attacked the two sides engaged in battle!

Three of them headed towards the battlefield where the woman with the sword and the man with the dagger were fighting, while the other two launched a surprise attack on Chen Ming!
Cui Bo thrust his spear fiercely towards Li Yi's throat. This thrust was like a thunderbolt, creating a visible gale, demonstrating its formidable power!
Although the thrust came suddenly, Li Yi leaped up and used her long sword to deflect the trembling spearhead, thus thwarting the fatal blow. However, at the same time, her body froze, and she was momentarily stunned by the mental force. Taking advantage of this moment, the spear followed up and wrapped around her again!

In this level of competition, a moment's lapse in concentration can determine the outcome!
Li Yi was unable to dodge the spear thrust, and just as the spearhead was about to go towards her throat, she heard a "clang" of impact!
The man who had just been fighting Li Yi suddenly slammed his dagger into the barrel of the gun, causing the spearhead to deflect. He could have quickly dealt with a powerful opponent, but a third party stopped him!
Cui Bo was a little surprised: "What are you doing!?"

The boy wielding the dagger chuckled. "Do you think I'm stupid? If you kill this woman, I'll be next."

"I need to hold out until my teammates get here! Your scores, and Qing City's scores, are all ours!"

Cui Bo gritted his teeth, immediately reversed the gun, and attacked the man with the dagger:
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

However, after his exchange with the man with the dagger, he sensed something was amiss.

Because... he saw a smile on the face of the man with the dagger?
what's the situation?
Just as this question suddenly flashed through his mind, he was startled!
Brush brush!
Several sounds of wind rustling through the trees and leaves came from behind, and four dark figures swiftly emerged from the dense forest!
These four figures stood on the west side of the battlefield, opposite the Chuzhou City team, sandwiching the Qing City group together.

A giant man wielding two swords leaped out of the jungle and landed heavily on the battlefield with a loud bang!
Looking at the scene before him, he laughed heartily:
"Hahaha! The guys from Qing City are so unlucky!"

"Not only are we one person short, but we're also being surrounded and attacked!"

"After observing for so long, it wasn't a waste of time!"

At that moment, Cui Bo immediately issued the order: "Contract the battle line!"

At his command, the other two who were fighting Chen Ming immediately broke free, and the five from Chuzhou retreated to one place, cautiously observing the battlefield.

He still remembered the dagger-wielding man's smile and immediately understood. His eyes darkened further, but he didn't voice his thoughts. He simply spoke in a cold voice:
There are four teams here!

"But the other two teams only have four players each! How about we team up and each team gets 20 points first!?"

Cui Bo recognized the burly man with a bronze complexion as Jiang Zhe, the number one of the Yunnan organization's team. He was a master of dual swords and had even accomplished the feat of taking on five opponents at once during the preliminary rounds. He was known for his fierce and powerful style.

However, the members of the Yunnan team were completely different from their captain; their methods were quite bizarre.

Of the five members of the Yunnan team, at least three are skilled in Gu poison. Their blades are coated with Gu poison, and once the poison enters the body, the person will inevitably lose all mobility within three minutes and be defeated.

Moreover, given time, they could even use more advanced Gu worms, reportedly capable of achieving complete control. If the enemy used such Gu worms and allowed them to control several people, the battlefield situation would quickly become one-sided!
If I could choose my opponent, I would rather choose Chang'an, Qingshi, or even the strongest Shu region organization than fight against the Yunnan organization!

Of course, their methods weren't just bizarre. Their individual strength was also formidable. After all, to infect someone with a Gu poison, one must first subdue or injure the opponent. Moreover, during the preliminary rounds, many teams didn't even last fifteen minutes before being defeated, without even waiting for the Gu poison to take effect…

At this moment, Jiang Zhe, the leader of the Yunnan team, didn't even consider Cui Bo's suggestion: "Cooperation!?"

He laughed loudly twice, then revealed a somewhat ferocious expression:
"Cooperation my ass!"

"We need to score 140 points!"

"No one can escape!"

He appeared extremely ruthless, and shouted sharply, "Attack!!"

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Several arrows flew swiftly out from the jungle!

Everyone quickly dodged, while the Yunnan team had already charged forward!

The chaotic battle has begun again!

……

In virtual reality.

The first battle had begun, and it was such a fierce melee that it had already attracted the attention of most people.

"Who was that dagger-wielding man who fought Li Yi from Qing City?"

"Isn't that the person from Qing City?"

"Are these people from Qing City setting up a trap? They're fucking cunning!"

"But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; isn't this putting us at the mercy of the people of Yunnan?"

"Too clever by half!"

"Holy crap, is that dagger-wielding guy the fifth person from Qing City? He wasn't holding back when he fought Li Yi just now. Are you sure he's from Qing City?"

"Wait, wait a minute! It seems like the people from Yunnan and Chuzhou didn't notice that these people are all from Qingdao. What's going on?"

"They don't recognize this fifth person from Qing City. They think he's from another team. They don't have an omniscient perspective, so it's normal that they don't know. Tian Tian from Qing City has been keeping a low profile and hasn't shown her face. It looks like the two sides are in a standoff..."

"I see... I didn't know it could be like that."

"But it was no use. They still couldn't handle two teams at the same time, and in the end, both sides suffered heavy losses! They lost so many players right at the start, so it's unlikely they'll win the championship."

Liu Yi listened to the discussions around him, frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment.

She felt that something was off.

When the Chushi team launched their attack, the Qingshi team could have already started their counterattack. Why were they still putting on an act then?

When the question arose, the answer was immediately given, and Liu Yi smiled:

"Looks like Jiang Chuan has improved again?" "This guy's progressing really fast..."

"Speaking of which, I didn't get Jiang Chuan's WeChat on this trip to Yanjing either..."

"It's okay, we've got Li Yi and the others' WeChat accounts. We can ask Jiang Chuan for his WeChat later."

Thinking about these things, Liu Yi quickly turned her attention to the scene of the battle.

She couldn't help but feel a little doubtful:
"Jiangchuan..."

When are you going to start your counterattack?

"No matter how powerful your Qing City team is, it's impossible for you to take down two teams at the same time, right?"

"Especially Yunnan..."

“Those guys are no joke.”

"..."

"Ok?"

As she watched, Liu Yi's expression changed several times.

It wasn't because of Jiang Chuan and his team's strength, but because of... the Chuzhou City team.

The Chuzhou squad demonstrated exceptional combat skills at this moment!
……

Although the Chuzhou team members didn't seem to have high individual strength, they appeared to be the first to fall in this chaotic battle...

But against all odds, they displayed an astonishing level of teamwork!

With Cui Bo at the core, the people of Chuzhou, despite their different weapons, coordinated perfectly!

Facing the attacking Jiang Zhe, everyone thought he would quickly break through their defenses. However, the spears surrounding Cui Bo, the mental attacks, and the cover provided by the two bodyguards actually managed to suppress Jiang Zhe's solo charge and put him in an extremely dangerous situation within just a few dozen seconds!

Jiang Zhe's face was also full of astonishment. Every time he saw an opening and wanted to make a move, he was delayed for a moment by the mental force. This delay was fatal, leaving him only able to parry. However, he was not good at blocking. His fierce attack style made him invincible. In his eyes, offense was the best defense... But at this moment, his proud fighting style had become the root cause of his defeat!

"How can it be!?"

"You bunch of trash are as annoying as flies!"

"Get out of my way!!"

He roared angrily, and a flash of light burst forth, slashing towards Cui Bo's face!
"drink!!"

In the ranks of Chuzhou, a man who had previously been only responsible for providing cover let out a clear whistle!
A visible barrier rapidly expanded around him, forcefully blocking the blade of light!
Seeing this, Jiang Zhe angrily cursed, "Damn it!"

He roared fiercely, "Support!"

"Damn it! Let's take down the ones in Chuzhou first!"

However, after he spoke, he did not receive the expected arrow support...

"how……"

Before he could make a move, he heard a rumbling sound coming from the jungle beside him!
A giant, five or six meters tall, emerged from the jungle!
Jiang Zhe's eyes widened in surprise, and he shouted sharply as if facing a formidable enemy: "Lin Ci!!!"

Lin Ci didn't care about Jiang Zhe at all. Instead, he threw a punch at the side of the Chuzhou City team, targeting the mental awakener from Chuzhou City!
Boom!

The punch was incredibly solid; the girl didn't even utter a sound before being sent flying by the massive fist!

Her figure spun more than 3,600 degrees out of thin air before crashing heavily onto the tree with a thud. The giant tree shook, and leaves rustled down.

"Lin Ci!"

Cui Bo from the Chuzhou team gritted his teeth, but he dared not relax his attack on Jiang Zhe. He didn't even have time to pay attention to his defeated teammates, and just said, "Take down Jiang Zhe first! It will be beneficial for you too!"

Jiang Zhe also looked at Lin Ci: "Qing City! If I can't take them down, you won't get anything out of it either!"

"Why not cooperate with us!"

Lin Ci looked down at Jiang Zhe and smiled: "None of you will escape."

"Take a good look around, Jiang Zhe. Your men are all finished."

Jiang Zhe was stunned, and Cui Bo was also taken aback. They had just been locked in fierce combat, and only now, looking around, did they notice...

The other four members of the Yunnan team who originally launched the attack on Qing City have all been defeated!

A hint of confusion flashed in Jiang Zhe's arrogant eyes, and his expression turned extremely ugly:

"How can it be!?"

There are clearly four teams here!

"How can it be!!!"

Cui Bo had already put away his gun and stopped attacking Jiang Zhe. Instead, he said, "Jiang Zhe..."

"Haven't you seen it yet?"

"The one with the dagger is also from Qing City."

"They're putting on an act for us..."

Just now, Cui Bo had already figured out Jiang Chuan's identity.

He originally intended to use the people from Qing City to eliminate the Yunnan team. Although they might get fewer points, at least they could steadily gain points and would not be defeated no matter what.

Especially after his confrontation with Jiang Zhe, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Zhe is undoubtedly a top-tier expert among this group of trainees, and his team, when coordinated, can not only suppress the enemy but also kill them within three minutes!

Unexpectedly, the Yunnan team was so easily defeated by the people of Qing City!

This greatly exceeded Cui Bo's expectations.

At this moment, his face darkened as he said to Jiang Zhe:

"It seems they have no choice but to cooperate with us."

"Otherwise, both of our teams will fall here."

Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth. Although he was absolutely unwilling to do this, given his personality, it seemed that this was the only way to do it at the moment.

He was all alone, and had completely lost any chance of winning the championship...

He didn't even notice how his team members were defeated, which baffled him.

He was aware of the strength of his own team members.

Even if they weren't as good as Li Yilin and the others, they could certainly hold them off for a while. Moreover, as long as they injured the other party, they could quickly render them incapable of fighting and even use them for their own purposes.

Therefore, Jiang Zhe had two choices after the war began.

The first priority is to quickly defeat everyone from Chuzhou. According to the information seen during the preliminary rounds, the strongest person in Chuzhou is only at a near-top-tier level. Jiang Zhe is confident that he can do it.

The second option, of course, is to stall for time until our own squad has control of the situation, and then deal with the people from Chuzhou City at the very end.

But he never expected the cooperation in Chuzhou to be so seamless, and he never expected that his people would be defeated so quickly.

He never imagined that both of his choices would fail him!
Even if all four of Qing City's men were here, his teammates couldn't have lost so decisively!
The problem lies with only one person...

"It's him?"

Jiang Zhe immediately looked at the young man who was playing with the dagger and asked, "Are you the fifth person in Qing City?"

Jiang Chuan yawned and nodded.

Jiang Zhe looked at his leisurely demeanor and felt somewhat angry, but before he could speak, he saw the man stop playing with the dagger and, after grasping it, say with a hint of boredom:
"hurry up."

"Let's get started as soon as we're done chatting."

"I'm in a hurry."

Jiang Zhe laughed angrily: "In a hurry?"

"I'll kill you right now and save you some time!"

"You people from Chuzhou, deal with Lin Ci!"

"I'll take down this arrogant piece of trash!"

Although Cui Bo felt that the guy wielding the dagger should be the easiest to score points, the situation was dire, and he had no choice but to agree to give those ten points to Jiang Zhe first.

However, when Cui Bo looked at Lin Ci, he found it troublesome.

How can someone with such a tall stature win?

But when he looked up and finally saw the faint smile on Lin Ci's lips, he realized something.

Before he could even make a move against Lin Ci, he quickly glanced in Jiang Zhe's direction.

Upon seeing this, he stared in astonishment, his eyes widening, and he even put down the spear in his hand.

"This……"

The moment he looked over, he felt as if time itself had frozen.

Jiang Zhe's right arm was being stabbed by a dagger. He stared at his opponent with his mouth slightly open, not even noticing the blood spurting from his arm.

Jiang Zhe's astonishment and disbelief were even more pronounced than those of Cui Bo, who was watching the battle!
His previous arrogance and swagger vanished in an instant, replaced by shock in his eyes!

He seemed completely unable to understand how he had gotten infected!
"how……"

As Cui Bo watched this scene, a chill ran through him.

It took five seconds?

Three seconds?

Jiang Zhe, a top-tier fighter, has been defeated!?
Who is this man with the dagger?!

At that moment, Cui Bo suddenly understood the whole story.

The group in Qing City is using a trap to lure people in.

The Yunnan team was initially worried that it was a trap, so they hid in the woods and did not launch an attack for a long time.

If it weren't for their group, the Yunnan team would probably have waited longer, hoping to reap the benefits, or perhaps they would have waited for more people to arrive so they could collect more points.

Even after they appeared, the man with the dagger still did not reveal his identity, indicating that they already knew about the Yunnan team's situation.

In order to fully involve Yunnan, they even put on a show after launching their own attack!

The people of Qing City are waiting for the fish to take the bait; their goal from beginning to end has always been complete annihilation!
Cui Bo was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.

The gap between the two sides was simply too vast; even Jiang Zhe was instantly defeated...

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of person that guy was.

He stared at the figure with a slight bewilderment, but in his mind it seemed to overlap with another figure.

And that figure was also using a dagger...

Cui Bo suddenly realized something with a shock.

"The first one to break through level 10..."

"It's him!?"

"It's not Lin Ci...it's not Li Yi..."

"He's the strongest member of the Qing City organization!?"
