212: Meet Lina again!

Tian Du City was just one of the venues for this Professional Tournament.

In Dragon Country, there were four such places in total.

This meant that over a million contestants participated in the Professional Tournament.

The Arena Matches would also be held at the final venue.

At that time, millions of professionals would participate together.

The rules for this Arena Match and the specific assessment content would also be announced at the finals.

Xia Qi returned to his residence, where Yu Qiu had already prepared everything.

Hot dishes were served, and the four of them sat together to eat dinner.

In the evening, Yun Qingyue brought water for Xia Qi, and he washed up thoroughly.

Although his injuries had recovered, battles would still leave traces.

After everything was settled, Xia Qi had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Luo Zisheng was already waiting for Xia Qi with documents in hand.

Under Yun Qingyue's care, Xia Qi finished washing up.

He ate the breakfast prepared by Yu Qiu while looking at the documents Luo Zisheng had brought.

According to past practices, the Arena Match was divided into three stages.

The first stage was the Trial.

Everyone would enter the Trial grounds, and only those who passed the assessment would have the opportunity to participate in the subsequent matches.

Otherwise, with so many participants, it would take an eternity to finish the matches one by one.

Each assessment was extremely strict, and almost the vast majority of people would be eliminated during the assessment.

The remaining people would then enter the Arena Selection phase.

For Arena Selection, everyone chose the arena they wanted to contend for.

Only those who remained on the arena at the end would be the victors.

During this period, there would be no external healing or recovery.

Only those who stood on the arena at the very end could enter the final Arena Assault stage.

In the final stage of the Arena Match, there were only ten arenas per group.

The first person to enter an arena became the Arena Defender, facing challenges from other Arena Assaulters.

The victor would then become the new Arena Defender.

When there were no challengers, or when the time limit was reached, it signified a successful Arena Defense.

However, the ranking in the Arena Match was not necessarily your final Rank on the arena.

The Arena Match adopted a point system, and points determined the ranking.

In the Arena Match, restrictions were usually very minimal.

Contestants could carry most everyday items, which greatly increased the variables in the competition.

There was once a fierce person in the Arena Match who drank three hundred bottles of potions in a row.

Xia Qi carefully read the Arena Match information, committing everything to his mind.

Afterward, Xia Qi left his residence.

The three girls originally wanted to follow, but Xia Qi stopped them.

Xia Qi was not very familiar with Tian Du City.

Fortunately, Luo Zisheng was there.

The information about this place had already been thoroughly investigated.

Although one couldn't say she knew everything, she was generally very clear about it.

Xia Qi arrived in the black market of Tian Du City, and as soon as he arrived, he vaguely noticed someone following him.

Originally, there were three or four people.

Later, only one remained.

Xia Qi deliberately walked to a relatively secluded corner, then quickly hid in the shadows.

When the person following him arrived, the target had already been lost.

Just as this person was at a loss, Xi Ai immediately emerged from the darkness.

She subdued the person, pinning them to the ground.

"Speak, who sent you?"

This was Tian Du City, and the Professional Tournament was currently underway.

The surveillance here should be very strict; even the black market should be restrained.

Xia Qi really couldn't imagine who would be following him.

He pressed one hand on the chest of the black-robed person in front of him, and it sank in.

How was it soft!

And it was a woman?

"Let me go!"

A familiar voice came from beneath the black robe.

Xia Qi subconsciously released his hand, and the other person immediately stood up, tidying their appearance.

"Lina?"

Xia Qi asked tentatively.

The voice just now was identical to Lina's, and this was also the black market.

The black-robed person standing opposite revealed her face; that familiar face, who else could it be but Lina?

"It hasn't been long since we last met, and you're already getting hands-on as soon as we meet."

Seeing Lina's slightly Life Qi expression, Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone really had ill intentions towards him, that would indeed be troublesome.

Daring to make a move at this critical juncture, the other party's background must not be small.

Now seeing that it was Lina, he immediately felt relieved.

"Isn't this just an eagerness to learn, wanting Teacher Lina to give some serious guidance."

Lina's face instantly turned red upon hearing this.

"Alright, what are you doing in the black market?"

She immediately changed the subject.

"What else could I be doing? It's you, you left without saying goodbye before I even came out."

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Lina hesitated for a moment and said:

"There were some family matters to deal with, but they've been resolved now."

"That's good."

"Since there's nothing else, let's just browse!"

Xia Qi said.

Lina didn't say anything and took Xia Qi to browse the black market.

Although this wasn't Shengjing, it was still her territory.

Although she didn't come often, she was generally familiar with it.

She had been staying here during this time.

"Alright, what do you want?"

"There's nothing here that I don't know."

Xia Qi pondered for a moment, then looked around.

"First, let's sell the things I have."

Currently, Xia Qi had many items in his possession.

He now needed to quickly convert them into cash so he could continue upgrading his talent.

The gap between him and those top professionals currently lay in three aspects.

One was Rank, which couldn't be rushed.

It was impossible to quickly upgrade for now, and he hadn't undergone his second change yet.

Then there was the second change; the second change was a turning point for professionals.

Even a rare profession couldn't satisfy Xia Qi.

At the very least, it had to be a legendary-grade profession that suited him.

These were Xia Qi's minimum standards, non-negotiable.

If it wasn't even a legendary-grade profession, it would be better not to change.

Finally, there was the talent Rank.

Currently, all of Xia Qi's talents were SS-Rank.

This was already Xia Qi's current limit; he could only infinitely approach SSS-Rank.

Although numerous, there was still a gap compared to SSS-Rank talents.

After all, one of their talents was equivalent to several of Xia Qi's.

For Xia Qi, in the short term, the fastest way to improve was through talent.

If he could also improve in the other two aspects, that would be even better.

Although the grouping had already been done, Xia Qi undergoing his second change now would not affect this.

Because his opponents were all people who had already completed their second change.

If he could achieve improvements in these three points, he would have even more confidence in the subsequent Arena Matches.

"This is the place."

Lina led Xia Qi to an exchange in the black market.

Xia Qi looked at the scale of the place; it should be able to handle the items he had.
