The rapid progress of the Cloud Summit Quartet naturally attracted everyone's attention. This attention came from friends, but more from enemies.
From a certain perspective, if someone wanted to eliminate Ye Zhongming in the novice battlefield, they would indeed prefer to see this situation develop because it would yield the greatest benefits.
Of course, those who think this way must have the confidence to defeat the Cloud Summit Quartet under any circumstances. But does everyone possess such confidence? Obviously not.
The participation conditions for this novice battlefield were strictly defined. The differences between the various factions were not too drastic. It was only because of the new rule that allowed them to bring backup supplies that the major clans maintained their dominance and gained an absolute psychological advantage.
But the other races couldn't do the same. Let alone bringing in renyi-level or higher medications, how many races would be willing to provide crimson condensation level equipment for novices, knowing the high mortality rate? One piece of equipment wouldn’t make much difference. To provide a clear advantage in equipment for people of equal strength, they would need at least two pieces of crimson condensation level gear; how many races could supply two pieces for novices?
Think about the former Star-Eye Clan; crimson condensation level equipment was exclusive to clan leaders. Even now, with Ye Zhongming providing them with a large quantity of crimson condensation level gear, would they be willing to give novices a few pieces?
Therefore, as Liang Chuyin and the others' points surged and demonstrated strong abilities, those who wished them dead would start to seriously consider when to make a move.
If the Cloud Summit Quartet continued to advance unchecked, accumulating points and resources, their strength would only grow. By that time, trying to kill them would be even more difficult than it is now.
To take a step back, even if one could kill them, what if someone from a major clan became interested in their points? Would they be able to compete?
Take the Hall People, for instance; they definitely wanted the Cloud Summit Quartet dead, and this information was communicated to others in the same camp. However, they didn’t say they had to act on their own; if someone else in the same camp could kill the Cloud Summit members, that would also be acceptable.
But if the Cloud Summit members had abundant points, could they still ensure that others in their camp would reap the benefits? They would definitely prioritize the sovereign nation.
Thus, when Liang Chuyin and the others’ point rankings rose rapidly, many felt very complicated emotions, with some realizing it was time to act quickly.
During the break between the second cycle and the start of the third week, the stall economy was exceptionally booming. Many items sold out, especially those capable of directly increasing combat power and medications, which were snatched up as soon as they appeared.
Not only that, even the official store items with less cost-effectiveness were mostly sold out. A large number of points were spent, causing a significant shift in the leaderboard. The rankings of the Cloud Summit members, who hadn’t spent much, rose once again, alongside the advancements of novices who had grasped some manufacturing skills.
“Enough to draw attention, let's see how many people take the bait,” Yao Han Su said with a smile while looking at the leaderboard.
Now, any situation that made the opposing races suffer would please this clan leader.
Just as he was smiling, Yao Han Su suddenly noticed that Elder Huo Zhi’s ancient formation technique had been retracted by Ye Zhongming.
“Hey, what do you mean by this?” Yao Han Su was unhappy. You showed it to Elder Huo Zhi; what about me? I haven’t seen it yet!
“Oh? This? Elder Huo Zhi saved me, and I need to repay him, so I showed him this. He also promised not to spread it around after mastering it,” Ye Zhongming said with a face that suggested it was only natural.
