43 Enraged (1/2)

Qin Ruo learned about Crackpot from Burning Rose and the other girls. He was a Tier 4 Radiant Priest with a better than average supporting ability. However, his attacking power was no match against a normal Tier 4 Elementalist class. He may have been slightly stronger than a Tier 3 class, but certainly not by a long shot.

Besides, the reason why the Seven Great Leagues were able to stand firm till this day was not based on brute strength alone. It was not like child's play where you could simply group-fight with others out of simple conflicts.

The Seven Great Leagues had very strict rules!

If one was provoked intentionally and possessed solid evidence, it was acceptable to invite the Hunters from the Clan and League to intervene.

In normal sparring, or in cases where the Seven Great Leagues were the ones to provoke the enemy first, the League Hunters would not and were not allowed to get involved…

This was the reason why Qin Ruo had become less frightened and more respectful of the Seven Great Leagues.

Also due to this reason, he immediately countered after he heard Crackpot's statement that was full with insulting sentiment. Since he was the one who actively provoked him first, there was no need for him to remain polite anymore.

Of course, Qin Ruo was not that type of person who liked to brag about his own power. His purpose of doing this, besides depriving Crackpot of his arrogance, was to also distract him so that their battle record for the upcoming competition could be weakened…

Mainly because Qin Ruo had just examined the two players with Gold Equipment in Crackpot's team. The power of their Beastblood Berserker was comparable to that of Slayer's Heart. The damage that the other member could inflict was on par with Burning Rose. As for Qin Ruo himself, his highest damage may not be very helpful…

As a result, Qin Ruo's side actually did not have the upper hand. In fact, they were in a considerably disadvantageous situation! But if they could distract the opponent's Radiant Priest and lead him away from the fight, they would have an absolute advantage with Violet's help and become the team with the best chance to win the key.

That was why he decided to counter the provocation…

When he spoke, Crackpot was stunned at first. Then, he sneered and said, ”Are you provoking me now?”

Qin Ruo was certainly not dumb enough to fall for his trap. He laughed and shook his head.

”Of course not. You were the one who pinpointed me as trash first, right?”

”So what? Am I wrong, huh? How dare you come here when you're just a little Tier 3 scum. Are you disagreeing with my claim that you're being overconfident?” Crackpot totally did not realize that he had stepped into someone's trap. He also failed to realize that Sable Eclipse and Haohmaru were both frowning behind him.

Naturally, Qin Ruo did not give Crackpot any chance to react. Once he finished his sentence, Qin Ruo stepped in instantly and said, ”Everyone here, please be my witness! This man continues to emphasize that I'm a piece of trash. Well then... let me challenge you now and see who's rubbish.”

Only then did Crackpot started to realize that something was not right. How could he be so distracted when the Crypt Messenger was about to respawn soon.

However, Qin Ruo did not give him the chance to rebut at all!

”If you have the guts to fight me, please step out now! If you don't, just shut up and turn back! Of course, you can also say that you aren't free now... But in the future, don't simply accuse others of being 'rubbish'.

”What does everyone think?”

”Great!”

”No doubt this guy's a bit mouthy!”

”Great lad, so courageous. I'll support you!”

”I'll bet on you!”

”Crackpot, accept the challenge if you're a man!”

”A Tier 4 Radiant Priest versus a Tier 3 Aquamancer, you're still at an advantage!”

”Right! Come on!”
