380: Chapter 380 All of you, come at me together!

Xu Biao hated this kind of person the most.

He looked down at his calloused hands.

They were marks left by years of wielding a blade.

He had clawed his way up from the bottom, with dozens of scars of all sizes across his body.

To trade for a low-level skill book, he had once fought wild beasts bare-handed in the wilderness for three days and three nights.

For this spot in the semifinals today, he had prepared for three whole months.

Every day, he had tested the boundaries of life and death.

And what about this fair-skinned Little Girl in front of him?

Relying on the man beside her acting as a bodyguard, she had cut the line directly into the semifinals.

By what right?

Xu Biao was full of resentment.

He would never allow anyone to desecrate this competition.

Lin Yao suddenly turned around.

She didn't continue arguing with Xu Biao.

She grabbed Zhao Tianyang's sleeve and gave it a hard tug.

"Big Guy, how should we fight?"

She lowered her voice, emphasizing every word.

Zhao Tianyang looked down at the angry girl.

He, however, was in no rush.

"The core mechanism of the Bounty League is Point Plundering," Zhao Tianyang said.

He held up a finger.

"Defeating an opponent grants you half of the points they currently possess."

"Theoretically, as long as you fight fast enough and the opponents you defeat have high enough points..."

He paused.

"Rising through the ranks in a short time to enter the Final Round is entirely feasible."

Lin Yao's mind raced.

Point Plundering?

Fine...

She was all too familiar with grinding monsters to level up!

Just find a group with high points and give them a beating, and she'd take off!

The seven million prize money was beckoning her.

That was seven million!

No matter how much allowance her brother gave her, it was still his.

Money earned through one's own ability felt much better to spend!

How much limited-edition equipment could seven million buy?

How much delicious food could it buy?

When the time came, she'd slam those seven million in front of her brother and see if he still dared to call her a brat!

Beside them, Xu Biao burst out laughing upon hearing this.

He slapped his thigh exaggeratedly.

"Oh boy, a newborn calf truly doesn't fear the tiger... No, it's more than that; she's completely brainless..." Xu Biao pointed at Zhao Tianyang, then at Lin Yao.

"Point system? Rising through the ranks?"

Xu Biao took a step forward, closing in on the two.

"The semifinals start in half an hour. Once they begin, the leaderboard will be locked!"

He looked around, intentionally raising his voice.

"Half an hour to go from zero points to the Final Round?"

The surrounding contestants and spectators all looked over.

Quite a few people burst into laughter.

A tall, thin man in mage robes shook his head.

"Young people these days really dare to say anything."

A warrior nearby carrying a greatsword chimed in.

"Half an hour? In half an hour, you won't even finish the matchmaking process!"

"Those who get in through connections are so naive, thinking the arena is just child's play."

Hearing the agreement around him, Xu Biao became even more smug.

He pointed to the rest area not far away.

"Do you see the people sitting over there?"

"The one in black, 'Venomous Fang' Liu San, has a fifteen-game winning streak."

"The bald guy by the wall, 'Iron Wall' Wang Gang, has withstood attacks from Tier 3 Beasts."

"Any one of them could crush you with a single finger!"

Xu Biao looked down at Lin Yao.

"Little Girl, did you hear that?"

"Don't talk so big, or you'll trip over your tongue. Hurry home and cry to your parents!"

Lin Yao's cheeks flushed red.

Not from shame, but from anger.

What did these people know?

She had a Mythical-grade profession!

Although she was just ground into the dirt by her brother, that was because her brother was a freak!

Against this bunch of riffraff, could she possibly fail?

But half an hour?

Lin Yao felt uncertain.

She began to run simulations in her mind.

If it were one-on-one duels...

Matchmaking, getting on stage, countdown, fighting, settlement.

The whole process would take at least three to five minutes.

In half an hour, she could at most fight six or seven matches.

Even if she matched with high-scoring players every time, the points would definitely not be enough to squeeze into the Final Round.

Time was indeed too tight.

If she encountered a thick-skinned knight with a shield, just breaking their defense would take forever.

If she didn't make it, the boast she just made would be completely shattered.

She quietly took half a step back and leaned closer to Zhao Tianyang.

"Big Guy," Lin Yao asked in a very low voice, "do you think it's possible?"

She needed a definitive answer.

Zhao Tianyang found it somewhat amusing to see Lin Yao trying to act tough despite clearly feeling guilty.

He nodded very seriously.

"It is."

Zhao Tianyang added in a low voice.

"Actually, I calculated it based on your strength."

Zhao Tianyang's judgment just now was entirely based on Lin Yao's abilities.

Myriad Laws Comprehension.

Infinite Firepower.

As long as she had enough space to cast spells, clearing the field would only take minutes.

These mortals had no idea what kind of monster was standing before them.

Even he himself wouldn't dare take Lin Yao's Forbidden Curse head-on without activating his Shura Form.

Let alone these ants who hadn't even touched the high-tier level?

Having received a positive answer, Lin Yao's confidence surged instantly.

But then another thought occurred to her.

With her physical stats, what if an assassin got in her face?

The shadow of being beaten up at close range by her brother still lingered.

With one punch from her brother, she wouldn't even get a chance to chant.

Although there were no freaks like her brother here, those extremely fast professions were still a threat.

"Um..." Lin Yao reached out with two fingers and tugged at the corner of Zhao Tianyang's clothes.

"If I can't hold on later, remember to help me."

Zhao Tianyang straightened his posture.

He bowed slightly, his movement standard and respectful.

"My honor."

With a top-tier fighter backing her up, Lin Yao completely let loose.

She let go of Zhao Tianyang's clothes and strode to the center of the passage.

Xu Biao was still laughing with the people beside him about Lin Yao's overestimation of herself.

Lin Yao ignored him.

She raised her hand and pointed toward the end of the passage.

There was a spacious area there.

The contestants' rest area.

At this moment, hundreds of contestants were gathered there, either waiting for their matches or having just finished.

It was a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers resided.

There were Berserkers with ten-game winning streaks.

There were Shadow Dancers proficient in assassination.

There were Heavy-armored Knights with astonishing defense.

They were all seizing the time to recover their stamina or observe potential opponents.

The black-clad 'Venomous Fang' Liu San opened his eyes and sneered.

The bald 'Iron Wall' Wang Gang stood up and cracked his knuckles, making a popping sound.

Everyone was waiting to see this ignorant Little Girl make a fool of herself.

"Hey!"

Lin Yao's crisp voice echoed in the passage.

People in the rest area turned one after another to look at the girl who had suddenly flared up.

Lin Yao raised her chin slightly and drew a large circle in the air with her finger.

Circling everyone in the rest area.

"Half an hour is too slow; I'm in a hurry."

Lin Yao spoke clearly, her words reaching everyone's ears.

"You all, come at me together."
