The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 700: too 'popular'

LUO YAN and Luo Jin were back at the waiting area of the coliseum. The quarter finals would start at one o'clock in the afternoon. There's still 15 minutes left before the start. There would be four matches in this quarter finals. After it's over, there would be a two-hour break before the semi-finals began. Then, in the evening, at exactly nine o'clock – the finals.

It seemed hectic if one would hear about it. But it's not really. Because if one would tally it, there would only be seven matches in total – from quarter finals to the finals. It's less than one match compared to the eight matches yesterday. If there wouldn't be any breaks in the middle, it would definitely be over in a blink of an eye.

But because all the remaining fights would happen today, there was really no time for any of the players to prepare. All the preparations they could have done should have been done the night before. And the only way to do that was to watch the matches during the first round. Which was not exactly the most helpful way. After all, it's not like all of them had revealed their hidden cards.

Luo Yan glanced around, all the eight participants were here. They were only waiting for the start of the quarter finals. He noticed that some of them were very nervous. They were probably feeling pressured to show their best performance today.

He read once in a post on the game forum that major members of famous teams usually watched the Rookie Carnival on the second day. They watched it live at the coliseum so they could find the players they wanted to recruit to their team. Why only the second day, you asked? Because they believed that only those in the top 8 of the Rookie Carnival deserved to be invited to be part of their teams.

It's quite arrogant in Luo Yan's opinion. But then again, being in a big and famous team had a lot of advantages. It's probably only right for them to be quite picky. And it's likely the reason why those players who were nervous felt pressured. Because they hoped that someone from one of the top teams could notice them and recruit them.

Of course, this was not a worry for Luo Yan. After all, he already belonged to one of the best teams.

Then, his gaze landed on Ying Chen who also happened to be looking at his direction. The other had an annoyed from on his face as if everything happening around him was irritating.

And he was right, Ying Chen was indeed very annoyed right now. No, actually, he had been annoyed since last night. Not only Liang Sen fumbled up his fight, the match he had been looking forward to would no longer happen because of that stupid announcement.

All that bravado he had shown yesterday seemed to be useless now. What if this Noctis lost in this round? Then, they wouldn't really have a chance to fight. How would they proceed with that bet then? Just after he thought of that, he stopped because he suddenly realized something.

No, this tournament wasn't the only way for them to do that bet. At that thought he made his way towards Noctis.

"The bet—"

"You didn't—"

Two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Ying Chen stopped what he was about to say and glanced at the person who spoke at the same time as him. It was that crow bastard – Winged Tassel. Seeing the guy, he was once again reminded of Liang Sen's lost yesterday.

Although Liang Sen didn't mind his lost, Ying Chen had a totally different opinion. The two of them talked about how they should at least reach the quarter finals. But look at what happened. Ying Chen managed to do it but Liang Sen did not. And it was all this guy's fault.

He knew he was being unreasonable. It's not right to blame the other for being better than Liang Sen. But he didn't like what he didn't like. It might be immature and unreasonable, but he didn't care.

"I'm here first, you go over there," he said to Winged Tassel with his chin high up.

Winged Tassel seemed to not mind his rude attitude. He was still smiling that cringey smile. But then again, it seemed that that blasted smile had been plastered on his face so it might not mean much.

"Oh, don't worry, I just want to ask Noctis something. It wouldn't even take a minute." Before Ying Chen could say anything, Winged Tassel had already turned back to Noctis and said his piece. "You didn't bring Eclipse?"

Luo Yan was thinking if he would actually see a fight happening. With Ying Chen's temper, that's definitely possible. But instead, he was suddenly asked about Eclipse.

He looked at the smiling Winged Tassel, wondering why this guy was so interested in Eclipse. He's starting to suspect whether the other had some kind of furry fetish or something.

But he still smiled and answered in a cordial manner, "No, he would be sitting out this match today."

"That's too bad," the other said, seemingly really disappointed. Then, he nodded and walked away.

Ying Chen snorted. "What a weirdo."

Exactly. But Luo Yan didn't directly say that and just turned to Ying Chen. "Are you here to talk about the bet?"

"What else?" Ying Chen said in a tone as if the other was being stupid for asking something so obvious. "If the two of us don't end up fighting against each other today, then I suggest we do a PvP fight after the tournament."

"Sure," Luo Yan answered because he didn't really mind.

Ying Chen seemed to be satisfied with that because the annoyance on his face visibly disappeared. "You better not go back on your words."

After saying that, he walked away and returned to where he was standing before.

"What's with that?" Luo Jin commented on his side, clearly talking about both Ying Chen and Winged Tassel.

"Well, what can I say, your brother is simply too popular," Luo Yan answered in a jokingly manner.

Luo Jin only rolled his eyes at him.
