Chapter 290: Destiny Makes Enemies Meet


    Trantor: Halcyon Trantions Editor: Halcyon Trantions


    The reason why Lawlessly fearlessly stepped into the arena was because of the additional 10%


    Detection from his ne.


    This ne had dropped from a LV20 Wild Boss which had taken the whole of Star Moon Union to


    defeat. Lawlessly wasn’t the best Thief in the guild, but because he excelled at sucking up to the


    guild master, he often received better equips when the loot was divided up.


    The ne alone gave him the ability to detect his opponents and strike first. This gave him an


    advantage against most Thieves because a fight between two Thieves was often dependent on


    whoever unleashed theirbos first.


    Lu Li stayed put and observed his opponents.


    To be honest, he didn’t see anyone from Star Moon Union as a threat.


    In his past life, he had worked for the Star Moon Union to earn gold. The longer he stayed, the more


    he realised how fake and materialistic everyone there was. As he became more and more


    independent, he decided to leave the guild and venture out on his own.


    Lu Li was amused by the fact that these three had made it into the top 100. If his memory served


    him correctly, the Star Moon Union was one of the only guilds on the top 100 Guild Rankings that


    could never qualify for the top 100 in tournaments. Even before his rebirth, Star Moon Union had a


    reputation for their terrible tournament records.


    Lu Li wasn’t aware of the fact that the Star Moon Union had only made it this far because of the


    Frost Nova Skill Book. Frost Nova was strong enough to decide certain matches during the qualifiers.


    Their healer was I Am Richy Rich who was the wealthiest yer in the guild. His motto was "When


    I’m being a pretentious prick, everyone should shut the hell up." He hated when others stole his


    moments of glory.


    Their teamposition was actually pretty decent, but their skills werecking...


    "Lu Li, show your face if you dare!" I am Richy Rich shouted.


    Thementators were surprised by his trash talking because Lu Li would probably make them eat


    their words sooner orter.


    Trash talking was verymon in Dawn, whether it was before or during matches. Some would


    even take the opportunity to advertise their product or sponsorships.


    However, the Shadow Cup was a prestigious tournament and trash talking that involved the other


    person’s rtives was strictly forbidden. Therefore, trash talking wasn’t asmon in the Shadow


    Cup.


    What was the point of trash talking if it doesn’t involve their rtives?


    Lu Lipletely ignored him because he noticed a shadow at his 3 o’clock position.


    Their n was to lure Lu Li out with their trash talking and ambush him with Lawlessly.


    Lu Li repositioned himself and slowly moved towards the Thief.


    He cautiously crept around and repositioned himself until he had circled around the Thief without


    being noticed.


    It was normal for him to go unnoticed.


    Even though the 10% Detection from Lawlessly’s ne allowed him to detect Thieves, Lu Li had a


    bonus 30% Stealth effect from his Ring and Pants.


    Lawlessly was overconfident in his Detection and he would soon face the consequences.


    "I’ve got my sights on a Thief and I can lock him down while you charge in for support. I know that


    the Mage has Frost Nova because I was the one that sold it to him," Lu Li said in his message to


    Moonlight.


    Moonlight nodded as a signal that he understood.


    "Lu Li, you ungrateful thing. Are you scared? Why don’t youe out?" I am Richy Rich continued


    yapping.


    Since he was a healer, he had nothing to do except to trash talk.


    As expected, Ao Jian teleported towards March Rain and casted Frost Nova. He nned on freezing


    both March Rain and Moonlight.


    Once they cut off the support from his Warrior and Priest, Lu Li would be nothing more than a sitting


    duck waiting to be ughtered.


    Ao Jian’s strategy was the right move.


    However, before he could act, Lu Li had already ambushed his prey.


    Preparation and Cheap Shot stunned Lawlessly and revealed him from his stealth.


    After he was revealed, they realised that they had encountered each other before.


    Lu Li had sold the Frost Nova Skill Book to the Star Moon Union for $30,000, which caused a lot of


    internal conflict within the Guild. Lu Li was ambushed by two Thieves that were sent by the Star


    Moon Union to assassinate him. If Azure Sea Breeze had not stumble upon them, Lu Li would have


    been dead meat.


    Both parties wouldn’t have thought that their next encounter would be in the Shadow Cup.


    Ao Jian casted his Frost Nova and instantly regretted it.


    Only March Rani stood frozen in ce. Since she was a long-ranged ss, she was still able to cast


    Mana Burn onto I am Richy Rich before being hit.


    Ao Jian was very discouraged because their trump card had been easily nullified.


    However, he had no time to be depressed over his useless Frost Nova because his Thief was in big


    trouble.


    Abo that Lu Li and Moonlight often ran was the Stun into Whirlwind. This usually guaranteed


    them a kill.


    Before Moonlight had finished his Whirlwind, Lawlessly died from the burst damage.


    Lu Li decided to ignore the Mage and went straight for I am Richy Rich. He hated this self-centred,


    trash-talking narcissist and would kill him multiple times if he could.


    Yes, Lu Li hated him so much that he had be a petty person.


    The pitiful thing was that as soon as Lu Li rushed towards I am Richy Rich, he immediately screamed


    and ran away.


    Why was he even running? It was impossible for a Druid to outrun a Thief unless he used


    transformation.


    Even without any mobility skills, Lu Li easily caught up to I am Richy Rich and shed him with his


    dagger from behind.


    I am Richy Rich was extremely wealthy and was also the most powerful person in terms of status in


    the Star Moon Union. He would often buy Superior Grade Druid equipment from the market for a


    high price. As such, his gear was at an elite-level, and was much better than any other healer’s that


    Lu Li had faced before.


    However, I am Richy Rich was extremely pessimistic and was discouraged upon seeing his teammate


    drop dead almost instantly. He was traumatized from previous encounters with Lu Li and no longer


    had the will to fight back.


    "Ao Jian, you useless piece of crap! Do you not know how to peel for your healer?!" I am Richy Rich


    selfishly berated. He cared for no one but himself and in the spur of the moment, he even trash-


    talked his own teammate.


    "Stop embarrassing us and heal yourself," Ao Jian replied while recklessly casting all of his skills


    towards Lu Li.


    They were disadvantaged from the start and now theycked in numbers. There was no way of them


    turning the fight around.


    He managed to deal some damage to Lu Li, but this was instantly negated by March Rain.


    Moonlight quickly joined the fight and the dust finally settled.


    The word "Victory" appeared in bold and shed across their screen!


    This marked their entry into the Asian Server Top 100.


    The Top 100 may not seem all that impressive, however, this tournament featured the top yers


    from all over the Asian Server. The tournament was seen as an All-Starpetition where the best


    yers gathered to fight for the championship. Even reaching the top 100 was a big aplishment


    for yers, especially for those who were looking to rise on the Guild Rankings.


    Lu Li and the others weren’t teleported out of the arena immediately, but instead remained as the


    camera turned towards them and their faces were disyed on the big screen.


    Everyone that entered the top 100 were considered to be celebrities in the game.
