Chapter 33: Dispute over Command Authority

  As the three-second countdown ended, time and space changed, Su Hong returned to the mysterious Cang Yue space and descended onto the ancient relic battlefield.

  A strange blood-colored light flickered, streams of data surged and flowed into his eyes, clearly revealing his personal attributes.

  Blood Type: AB

  Camp: Tianhui.

  Game times: 2

  Sky Ladder Points: 400

  Blood Gold Coin: 134

  Game death count: 1

  Deathmatch arena matches: 0

  Blood Strengthening Points: 6

  Innate Bloodline: Not yet unlocked.

  Successfully tempered blood once, and the personal attribute panel is opened accordingly, with specific attributes as follows:

  Health: 50

  Magic Points: 30

  Physical strength: 0.6

  Power: 2

  Agility: 2

  Intelligence: 2

  ……

  Raising his head, Su Hong saw Li Dairen and Chu Ge standing beside him, having already transformed into their combat disguises. He couldn't help but smile slightly, using up one Blood Coin to activate the Combat Disguise tool, concealing his true appearance.

  Three people exchanged a smile and tacitly walked towards the World Tree in Tianhui's direction.

  Under the World Tree, two young men were already standing, frowning and constantly sizing up their teammates, especially Su Hong and his three companions who walked towards them, which drew their attention.

  "Are you three Hei?" One of the young men, who was tall and slender, had a glint in his eye as if he had seen something, and spoke up first.

  "Not bad!" Li Dairen smiled brightly and responded very concisely.

  "Hey, team prop tokens are really hard to get! Last month's Death Week, I was fighting for my life, almost died in that terrifying plot scene, and in the end, I didn't get anything. I watched as someone snatched away a team prop token right before my eyes." Another young man spoke up, his expression filled with envy and jealousy.

  Su Hong and Chu Ge exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes. This time, luck was on their side, as they hadn't encountered any newbies or inexperienced players. As a result, they avoided many potential troubles and wouldn't have to deal with any frustrating situations. If they could coordinate smoothly, their chances of winning this battle would be very high.

  After Li Dairen's communication, the two young men made a brief self-introduction. The tall and thin young man called himself North Sea Pirate, while the other young man was called Stabbing Snake. They sounded like pseudonyms, but no one paid attention to this.

  After learning that Li Dairen and his two companions were a small black shop, the Nordic pirate and the snake both showed joy on their faces. The matchmaker's battle matching was quite disorderly and unpredictable, although it wouldn't lead to extremely unbalanced situations, but often resulted in inexplicable lineups, so being able to encounter a three-man small black shop was still quite exciting.

  However, the Nordic pirate was quite clever and had many thoughts in his mind. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "Let's get straight to the point, although you three are from a small black shop, if your level and strength are ordinary, I suggest you not act recklessly in order to win this battle."

  "That's right, if you want us to cooperate with you, you should at least show your own strength and prestige. If it's not even as high as ours, then there's nothing to talk about. Everyone can just rely on their own abilities and play freely." Stabbing Snake nodded in agreement.

  The ladder points in the Xunlei Space may differ from those on the virtual fighting game platform. After each real bloody battle, the omnipresent ruler will make an assessment based on everyone's combat performance.

  This evaluation is comprehensive and quite objective.

  So, the high and low of the Tianji points in the Cangyue space can reflect a person's true strength to a great extent.

  "What's your Sky Ladder score?" Li Dairen asked back without answering.

  "I am 410." The Nordic pirate said proudly.

  "I'm slightly lower, but I also have 380 Sky Ladder points," said the Snake Queen.

  Upon hearing this, Li Dairen's face suddenly showed some difficulty. His Sky Ladder points had just barely exceeded 400 and were still lower than those of the Northern Sea Pirates, so even if he revealed them, it would be hard to convince others. As for Chu Ge, his Sky Ladder points weren't even higher than Li Dairen's, let alone comparable to theirs.

  Seeing Li Dairen's face somewhat embarrassed, the Nordic pirate couldn't help but sneer and say: "What? Don't tell me your Heaven Ladder points aren't higher than mine? If that's the case, then let me take command!"

  "Less than 400 points? What kind of nonsense is this? Not only did we waste a precious team prop token, but if we lose this battle, we'll also be dragged down by you and receive an even more severe punishment from the ruler." Stabbing Snake complained somewhat dejectedly.

  "There's really no self-awareness." The Nordic pirate god's expression was cold and unceremonious as he commanded, "Since the three of you have low ladder points, don't choose any late-game heroes. It's better to pick some familiar control or support heroes. I'll take care of the late-game heroes myself. As for the mid-lane solo hero, I think it's best if Snake takes care of that."

  "This won't do!" Li Dairei's face turned red with rage, and he immediately opposed it. However, what made him quite depressed was that his Sky Ladder points were not as high as others, so the words he spoke really didn't carry much weight.

  Before entering the Xueyue space, Li Daire had anticipated many unexpected situations and was worried that he would encounter some tricky newcomers. However, he never thought that after being lucky enough to match with two seasoned players, he would end up in a situation where his authority was seized, leaving him momentarily at a loss for how to react.

  Seeing the Nordic pirate's impertinence, Chu Ge was somewhat unable to bear it and was about to step forward to reason with him, but was stopped by Su Hong stretching out his hand.

  "I've got this!" Su Hong smiled slightly, speaking to the somewhat annoyed Chu Ge. Originally, he didn't plan on taking center stage, leaving everything to Li Daren to handle, but now that he saw Li Daren was having trouble calming the situation, he had no choice but to step in.

  It's not for anything else, the command of this battle must be in our own hands, otherwise, this team token will really go to waste. To know that under someone else's command, it's unlikely to have a brilliant performance in battle.

  "Is there another one who's not convinced? If you have the ability, show off your own Tian Ti score. If it's higher than mine, I won't say another word and will hand over command of this battle to you." The Northern Sea Pirate glanced at Su Hong with a somewhat disdainful tone.

  After some observation, he has determined that the three people of Li Dairen's team do not have higher points than him. It is precisely because of this that he begins to have other ideas and wants to take over the command of this battle. If they lose, it goes without saying, but if they win, then his heroic performance in the later stages will definitely be impressive, and at that time, the rewards obtained from the controller will also increase a lot.

  As for the little mind of the Nordic pirates, the snake next to him understood it clearly, but he was too lazy to expose it and wouldn't bother with other people's business. In his opinion, Li Dairen and the three others were mediocre in strength, and their small black shop couldn't even get on stage. Being suppressed by the Nordic pirates who had higher points in the Heavenly Ladder was only to be expected.

  "My Sky Ladder points are indeed not as high as yours." Su Hong's words had just come out when they were met with a burst of laughter from the Northern European pirate, but he didn't mind and continued to say: "However, I only used two battles to obtain 400 Sky Ladder points, I wonder how many battles you used?"

  As soon as the words fell, the Northern European pirate suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, his expression completely frozen, and his eyes showed an unbelievable color, unable to help but question: "This is impossible! You can get 400 points of Heavenly Ladder score with just two battles, who are you kidding?"

  Su Hong didn't explain, and directly touched the blood-colored tattoo on his left chest. The strange blood color glowed, and a series of data information that belonged to him alone clearly appeared. Of course, for confidentiality purposes, Su Hong quietly hid his own Blood Seal number and personal attribute panel.

  But even so, it's still amazing enough.

  After seeing the data information displayed by Su Hong, the Nordic pirate's mouth was wide enough to hold a fist, and the snake was not much better. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, looking incredulous.

  To know that both of them were veterans, who had been wandering in the Xuan Yue space for some time, and had experienced no less than ten battles, life and death, bloodshed and hard-won, only to barely obtain 400 points of Tian Ti accumulated score, but this seemingly unremarkable young man in front of them actually caught up with their achievements in just two battles, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

  "What's the difference between two games? Even if I say my ranking points are higher than yours by more than ten points, it's not like I'm far behind you." The Nordic pirate still spoke with a hard mouth, but when he spoke, he had no bottom line, and his previous arrogance was gone.

  "Oh? And what about the sixfold Blood Energy enhancement?" Su Hong shook his head and smiled lightly, as a strange red glow flashed, and a stream of data information appeared, instantly shattering the last bit of pride in the Nordic pirate's heart.

  "Enough said, the command of this battle is yours! Anyone who still dares to disobey and wants to take it from you, I'll be the first to not spare him!" Stabbing Snake shouted loudly.

  "Hmph!" The Nordic pirate was somewhat embarrassed, but deep down he had thoroughly conceded and never mentioned the issue of command again.

  Li Dairen and Chu Ge on the side were also stunned, they did not expect Su Hong's Sky Ladder points to be so high, far exceeding their expectations.

  "Now that we've settled the command issue, let's discuss our formation." Su Hong cleared his throat and brought everyone's attention back to him.

  But just at this moment, a sudden situation reappeared. The ancient relic battlefield was filled with wind and clouds, and a huge blood-colored skull suddenly appeared, its face ferocious and terrifying, slowly floating towards Su Hong and the others above their heads.
