About an hour later, the second round of the bladder match between Arcade and Vincent ended, followed closely by the third round. Seeing Vincent hopping in anger, Wen Yu shook his head with a smile.
There are always some people who don't care much about rankings and benefits; Arcade is one of those. Of course, a more likely reason is that Arcade is self-aware and knows that the rewards for the top ten are hard to obtain, so he decisively chose to vent his frustrations.
In any case, this is within the rules. After three consecutive challenges, Vincent was left exhausted, while Arcade finally felt relieved, squatting in the VIP box waiting for others to fight.
It seems that Arcade’s ranking of fifty-six would not change anymore.
Thus, everything finally returned to normal.
After the bladder match between Arcade and Vincent ended, experts affiliated with the military began to take action. Mu Bai, Vera, and Wang Yuwei, who were in the lower ranks, quickly pushed their ranks into the top twenty. Up to now, besides Wen Yu, Tang Haofei, Walter, and Carmel, everyone in the top twenty was from Beijing.
When an organization develops to its peak, the benefits it brings are terrifying. With over a billion professionals, they can turn the entire Earth upside down every day. Almost all the treasure lands that appear on Earth can be explored and developed by Beijing. This illustrates the strength of an organization compared to individuals—Wen Yu simply does not have the energy to explore treasure lands, nor does he have enough manpower, and what he needs is also not common in treasure lands. However, it’s different for Beijing. A single foundation level skill scroll is enough to create a super powerhouse. Coupled with various technologies at hand, mass-producing powerhouses is relatively simple for Beijing. However, producing super powerhouses is extremely difficult. For instance, Lin Haifeng, as a leader, can’t hoard all the benefits for himself. Therefore, Lin Haifeng and his subordinates easily encounter a barrier to strength.
Beijing and Wen Yu and Tang Haofei are fundamentally on two different paths, and there’s no comparability between the two. In fact, Wen Yu often ponders another question: if he were not a reborn person, if he didn’t have a chess player controlling things behind him, would his current development speed be much slower than that of the strong who belong to Beijing...
The answer should be clear—information, manpower, well-designed skill systems, various skill items in Beijing’s treasury, and powerful technological support behind them can greatly enhance professionals. Just like now, Lin Haifeng only shows a part of Beijing’s strength, and it’s enough to dominate almost the entire sequence ranking battle, while a conventional Lone Walker could never reach this height.
Just as Wen Yu was contemplating these matters, a familiar figure appeared in the arena.
The voice of Golden Armor echoed in his ears.
“Sequence nineteen applies to challenge sequence eight, now starting.”
As the teleportation light flashed, a graceful woman dressed in leather and holding a black longsword, along with Carmel, an old acquaintance of Wen Yu, appeared on the stage.
“Beijing, Vera.”
“Carmel.”
A simple announcement of names was interrupted by a series of whistles from the VIP box above—these two women are indeed the only two females in the entire sequence.
Vera glanced seductively at the box where the Beijing powerhouse was located, looking relaxed and composed.
According to pre-battle intelligence, sequence eight Carmel absolutely belongs to the weakest top ten—her physical quality does not break limits, and even though her skill system is somewhat unusual, Vera still did not take Carmel seriously. On the other hand, Carmel appeared a bit nervous, automatically blocking out the whistles from the VIP box, quickly pulling out a painting scroll from her Spatial Ring.
“Be careful.”
Carmel kindly reminded the seemingly unguarded Vera before quickly tearing open the painting scroll.
