Chapter 74: Forging Ahead

Meanwhile, in the two-star Mystic Realm, the teams that had completed the first stage of their mission exited the mission area one after another.

Now, each team could rest and prepare for the second stage of their mission. Since Number Nine and Ten High teams hadn’t completed their mission and got eliminated, ten fewer people participated. The crowded mission area became less crowded.

The various teams took this precious opportunity to rest and adjust their strategies. Seeing as Team Mill was walking over, Team Moss went up to welcome them.

“You’re pretty fast, Moss.” Mill saw that Team Moss was in good spirits, and there weren’t any apparent injuries on its team members. But from their tired expressions, she could feel that Team Moss had difficulties in the first stage of the mission.

However, when Mill came out of the mission area, she noticed that Team Moss had exited before them. She couldn’t help but admire Moss and his team, so she took the initiative to greet Moss and the others even though she was usually arrogant.

Moss was surprised when he saw Mill approaching to greet him. He didn’t think about what he should say and simply replied, “We did alright. We just got lucky, that’s all.”

Before Mill could respond, a sarcastic voice came from the sidelines.

“Of course, they got lucky. They must’ve received a simple mission. Otherwise, this Knight wouldn’t be standing here talking to you,” A man in a tight black suit said.

The man was a tall, thin man with golden hair and a crossbow on his back. He looked at Mill with an evil smile and greedy eyes.

“Who are you? I don’t even know who you are. Please leave my sight!” Mill replied coldly without looking at the Crossbow Master.

“Oh? Forgive me for being presumptuous. Let me introduce myself, beautiful lady. My name is Will, and I’m the Crossbow Master for the Super Whirlwinds. I only came over to befriend you,” He extended his hand toward Mill smugly as he spoke.

Mill didn’t react and pretended not to hear anything. She continued to look at Team Moss.

Will’s hand remained outstretched for a long while before he awkwardly retracted his hand. Unwilling to give up, Will continued, “I want to invite you to exchange ideas with us. It’ll be a waste of your precious time if you don’t learn anything from us. Hmph, Knights shouldn’t participate in such a large-scale competition.”

Will looked at Team Moss with disdain as he spoke.

Before Mill could react, Alan, who had long lost his patience, immediately thundered at Will, “Is there something wrong with Knights?! Is there a rule that says Knights can’t participate in this competition? Besides, the competition is about results, not classes!”

“Where did this animal come from? How dare he speak to me like this?!”

“Why, you…” Alan’s face was red. He was so angry that he didn’t know what to say at the moment. He wasn’t good at quarreling, yet he wanted to fight with Will.

Moss stopped Alan and whispered, “Calm down, Alan. We’re still in the competition. If you hit a student without reason during the competition, they will punish you. We just need to prove ourselves with our strength. There’s no need to lower ourselves to their level.”

Moss was the first to speak, but he did it calmly. With his best friend standing up for him, a warmth spread through Moss’s heart.

“You’re not welcome here, Will. Please leave. We still have important matters to discuss.” Bass could no longer stand it as he stepped in front of Mill and ushered Will away.

Will grew bored of Moss and company, so he turned around and left with a sneer, “You should all save your strength. The second stage is much more challenging than the first. I feel sorry for whoever is struggling.”

Then a crisp mechanical voice sounded from the hall.

“Contestants, the second stage’s mission area has opened. All participating teams may enter at their leisure. The timer will start when you enter. I wish you all good luck!”

As soon as Davis finished speaking, the first two of the eight spatial rifts slowly closed. Then a notification sounded on each participating team’s mission tablet simultaneously.

Upon hearing the notification, each team quickly checked their tablets. Then continuous complaints echoed.

“This mission is too difficult!”

“There are too many missions to complete even though there’s no time limit. We’ll take forever to finish this!”

Team Moss was shocked when they saw their mission.

“Tier two mission: Kill 1 level 8 Red Flame White Tiger, 15 level 8 Terror Monitor Lizards, and 80 level 8 Explosive Wolves.”

“Time limit: None.”

“Mission Area: Number 6.”

“The quicker you complete the mission, the higher the points!”

“You will receive the tier three mission when you complete the current mission.”

“Captain Moss, we’ll be facing a level eight Red Flame White Tiger this time. It’s equivalent to a level sixteen Explosive Wolf. Is that a two-star Mystic Realm Boss?!” Baylon looked at Moss and asked in disbelief.

“That level eight Terror Monitor Lizards are equivalent to a level twelve Explosive Wolf. They have solid defenses too!” Alan held the mission tablet and pouted as he complained.

Moss was aware of how difficult the mission was, but he was still full of information. He said to his teammates, “We thought the first stage was difficult, yet we completed them brilliantly.”

Moss’s incomparably resolute gaze swept across his teammates as he spoke, encouraging them, “Although the difficulty has increased, we will be invincible. We just need to work together.”

As the various teams discussed their strategies intensely before the Spatial Rift, the Super Whirlwinds prepared to start their tier two mission.

They were fully equipped and ready to go into the mission area confidently. The Super Whirlwinds’ imposing demeanor left a sense of dominance among the contestants.

Will saw Team Moss discussing their strategies intensely with solemn expressions. He shouted teasingly, “Hey, Knight! I think you should just give up. You can’t compete with us no matter how hard you try. If you get injured, it will affect your subsequent matches.”

Will noticed that no one in Team Moss paid attention to him. He snorted coldly, “You’ll have a horrible time here if you don’t listen to me!” Then Will followed his teammates into the tier two mission area.

Everyone in Team Moss remembered Will’s words profoundly, even though they ignored him.

After getting organized, Team Moss and Team Mill cheered each other on and entered the tier two mission area one after another. However, Team Moss felt a strong sense of oppression when they entered the tier two mission area.

Team Moss was at the edge of a dense forest, surrounded by mountains at that moment. While Moss and the others surveyed the area, a sound echoed from afar, shaking the ground.

Rumble! Rumble!

Team Moss was on high alert. With his previous experience, Moss could sense that a large group of Magical Beasts was approaching. He frowned and shouted to his teammates, “That’s not good. Quick, everyone, climb the tree!”
