Chapter 101: Ten Wins in a Row, Crushing the Citywide Qualifiers!

[🎉 Shoutout to Tempest03 for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

Whoosh!

With a flash of white light, Zhang Yue materialized on a 100x100 battle platform.

Simultaneously, the system notification chimed in:

[Ding~ Contestant [Zero] from Linhai City, Zhejiang Province, Dragon Country. Your opponent is [Tianlai], an unaffiliated contestant from Linhai City. The match will begin shortly. Please prepare yourself]

The flash of light dimmed, revealing Zhang Yue's opponent—a young mage dressed in a dazzling silver robe, his hair neatly tied, exuding an air of elegance.

This was Tianlai, a well-known streamer on Douyin, boasting over three million followers. At this moment, his live stream was in full swing, with more than 100,000 viewers tuned in.

In this world, ordinary people far outnumbered professionals, yet they remained deeply invested in matches that could shape the fate of all professional classes.

Since the system didn't broadcast opponent details in the live stream, viewers only saw what Tianlai's perspective revealed—a frail-looking beast tamer.

Instantly, the chat exploded with comments:

"Wow! Tianlai-ge's luck is off the charts. His first opponent is a beast tamer? Aren't they the weakest class in the otherworld? This is a guaranteed win."

"Can't wait to see Tianlai crush this noob."

"Go easy, Tianlai-ge. Don't make it too brutal."

Tianlai, a Level 31 Elite-tier Sound Mage, felt equally smug upon seeing his opponent. A perfect opportunity to secure an opening victory while showcasing his prowess to his 100,000 viewers.

He addressed his audience with a confident smirk:

"Relax, my dear fans. I promise no excessive violence. But tell me—should I use Fireball or Ice Spike?"

"Fireball might be overkill. Let's go with the C-tier Ice Spike for a cleaner finish."

"Tianlai 666!"

"Go, gege!"

Gifts poured in, flooding the screen with sparkling effects.

Tianlai had no clue about Zhang Yue's identity. Even those few viewers who recognized Zhang Yue as the infamous player who obliterated the Infinite Guild found their warnings drowned in the torrent of messages.

Staff in hand, Tianlai taunted: "Hey, aren't you summoning your pets? If you don't hurry, you won't get the chance."

Zhang Yue's expression remained calm. "Not necessary."

Before Tianlai could retort, whoosh! Zhang Yue closed the distance instantly with S-tier Blink, positioning himself within 30 meters—optimal attack range.

Boom!

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue unleashed S-tier Thunder Wrath. A massive lightning strike descended, slamming into Tianlai.

-6584!

His full health bar was obliterated in one hit.

[Ding~ Congratulations! You defeated [Tianlai]. Honor Points +1. (Additional points for guilds registered for less than three years will be calculated post-tournament)]

Tianlai had no chance to react. A flash of light teleported him out of the arena. Back in the Grand Hall, Tianlai stood frozen, eyes wide.

"What just happened? What hit me?"

His chatroom fell silent. The once lively stream now mirrored the stunned faces of its 100,000 viewers.

Finally, someone broke the silence:

"Tianlai-ge, that's [Zero]. The beast tamer who crushed Infinite Guild last week."

"Why didn't you warn me earlier?."

"We tried, but the chat was too fast."

Tianlai looked utterly defeated. "This is rigged... How was I supposed to know?"

The viewers weren't merciful.

"Boring. Streamer's trash. I'm out. Gonna watch real pros."

Watching his viewer count plummet, Tianlai scrambled. "Wait! Don't go. I'll win the next match. Just watch."

Desperate to save face, Tianlai quickly queued for his next game.

Whoosh!

Back on the platform, the system chimed:

[Ding~ Your next opponent is [Su Yan], a professional from the Yanyu Pavilion Guild. Prepare for battle]

Tianlai's heart sank. "Damn it… the guild leader of Misty Rain Pavilion?"

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue queued for his second match as well.

[Ding~ Your next opponent is [Empire General], a professional from the Empire Guild. Prepare for battle]

Unlike Tianlai, Empire General recognized Zhang Yue instantly. His face turned pale. "Crap! It's him—the beast tamer who wrecked Infinite Guild. What kind of luck is this?"

Despite his despair, Empire General fought valiantly.

The result? Predictably one-sided.

[Ding~ Congratulations! You defeated [Empire General]. Honor Points +1]

The third, fourth, and fifth matches followed in quick succession.

[Ding~ Congratulations! You defeated [I'm Trash]. Honor Points +1]

[Ding~ Congratulations! You defeated [Call Me Pig]. Honor Points +1]

[Ding~ Your opponent [Snowstorm] has surrendered. Honor Points +1]

Zhang Yue dominated the field. No matter who his opponent was, they all met the same fate—instant defeat with a single skill.

Within minutes, Zhang Yue secured ten consecutive victories, amassing 10 Honor Points.

[Ding~ You've reached your match limit for today. Total Points: 10. Congratulations on qualifying for the City Qualifier Intermediate Round. Please report at 10 a.m. tomorrow]

Right then, a message popped up in the guild chat.

Wu Haotian: "Five wins so far. How's it going on your end?"

Zhang Yue: "Done. Ten points."

Wu Haotian: "What? You monster."

As the qualifiers progressed, some celebrated while others lamented:

"This is insane. I've lost ten in a row. Is it so hard to win just one match?"

"Six losses… No chance for Intermediate Round. Goodbye, 100k prize money…"

"Four wins, five losses. One more to decide my fate—VIP club or fishing for a living."

By 11 a.m., most participants had completed their matches. Zhang Yue's observations proved correct—Wu Haotian was stronger than expected, securing ten straight wins with ease.

Even Ning Tiantian, despite her modest skills, leveraged her Elite-tier class to achieve seven wins.

Wu Haotian grinned. "Wow, Ning Tiantian. I thought a breeze could blow you over, but you've exceeded expectations. Impressive!"

Ning Tiantian smiled sweetly. "Thank you!"

Zhang Yue nodded approvingly. "Good job. Keep it up."

Hearing this, Ning Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Really? I'll work even harder, Zhang Yue-ge."

But as memories of the previous night flashed in her mind, her face turned crimson, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Wu Haotian scratched his head. "What's with the reaction? Did I say something wrong?"

Zhang Yue cut in. "Focus. Tomorrow's opponents will be tougher. You need to improve."

Ning Tiantian nodded earnestly. "Got it!"

Wu Haotian, leaning casually on his flaming spear, laughed. "Well said. The young can be taught."

Zhang Yue shot him a glance. "You too."

"Me? I'm already strong."

Boom!

Before he could finish, Zhang Yue cast S-tier Skyfire, delivering a devastating blow that left Wu Haotian's HP at 1.

"Too weak. Pathetic."

Wu Haotian: "..."

"Let's go," Zhang Yue said.

"Where to?"

"The Fifth World."
