Chapter 1622: Add a New Spark to the S Tournament!
Gao Feng had always wanted to find a suitable guild club to participate in the S Tournament with.
Normally, the only place Gao Feng could fight was on Star Web, and it was always individual battles.
Individual battles were a nightmare for Gao Feng.
They recently implemented duo battles, where one was allowed to fight on the Celestial Stairway with a teammate.
!!This new mode of battle was good news for healing- and support-type spirit qi professionals.
Healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals could seek out a combat- or defense-type spirit qi professional to form a team with.
Healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals could only show their true value when they had teammates.
However, duo battles did not bode well for Gao Feng either.
Pure support-type spirit qi professionals were very rare. Most support-type spirit qi professionals had some level of combat and controlling abilities.
A pure support-type spirit qi professional’s value could only be exhibited in a group with many people.
Even if Gao Feng did seek out a teammate to fight a duo battle with, he would only be a burden to them.
If Gao Feng’s partner could not take on two opponents at once, their opponents could just target and eliminate Gao Feng first.
After all, a pure support-type spirit qi professional was easy prey if he did not have many self-protection techniques. He could only continue living if his teammates protected him.
Given that Gao Feng was the only direct descendant of a top faction, it should be easy for him to find a powerful teammate for fighting a duo battle with him.
However, doing so would be meaningless for Gao Feng.
After Gao Feng became Cicada Song’s disciple, many top guild clubs approached him to try and recruit him.
However, he had turned all of them away.
He knew he was only invited because he was Cicada Song’s disciple.
Otherwise, it was rare for there to be a support-type spirit qi professional, even in a team of five members.
With a support-type spirit qi professional, there would only be four usable team members.
Unless all four members were strong enough, Gao Feng would not be able to be fully useful.
Thus, Gao Feng had no choice but to give up on the idea of participating in the S Tournament.
This had always been a sore spot for Gao Feng.
Now that an opportunity was suddenly presenting itself to Gao Feng, he was so excited that he started blinking continuously.
Gao Feng did not know if there were still available places in Lin Yuan’s Dome Guild Club’s main team.
Even if there was no place in the main team, he was also willing to be part of the reserve team.
After all, he was so familiar with Lin Yuan, and he could ask to be put in more often.
To Gao Feng, there was not much difference between being part of the main and reserve teams.
Lin Yuan was momentarily silent when he heard what Gao Feng said.
He had intended to invite Gao Feng to join Dome Guild Club after the Guard Ye Banquet ended.
But at that time, Gao Feng had just become a disciple of royalty and was busier than usual.
Thus, Lin Yuan decided to put off the invite till after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
Yet now, Gao Feng stumbled on the fact that Lin Yuan had a guild club and even asked to join.
Alas, Lin Yuan was hesitant.
This was not because he was questioning Gao Feng’s eligibility but because Lin Yuan was unsure if he would even participate in the S Tournament.
Lin Yuan felt that, given his power, he would be a bully if he took part in the S Tournament.
Moreover, disciples of royalty never participated in the S Tournament.
Lin Yuan asked Gao Feng, “I was going to invite you to join the Dome Guild Club. It won’t be any problem for you to join. Liu Jie, Listen, Chu Ci, and I are members. Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Tan Ran, and Lu Pinru, who used to be part of the Extreme Guild Club, are members of Dome now too. Chu Ci and the four ex-members of the Extreme Guild Club make up the reserve team. Do you think it’s still appropriate for us to participate in the S Tournament?”
Gao Feng was stunned by what Lin Yuan said.
He’s right! I’m a disciple of royalty now. Everyone at the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection will know my identity. From now on, it will be inappropriate for me to participate in the S Tournament.
But now, Gao Feng felt rather indignant.
Why can’t disciples of royalty participate in the S Tournament? There isn’t such a rule laid out by the Guild Alliance! I might be a disciple of royalty, but I’m only 23 years old! The Guild Alliance’s rules state that any young expert in the Radiance Federation below the age of 30 can participate in the S Tournament!
Moreover, the popular participants of the S Tournament only retire at 30 years old. Long Tao, Shi Xu, and the rest are all stars of the S Tournament. Long Tao and Shi Xu are members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence but are allowed to join. How are disciples of royalty any different? I won’t be able to defeat either of them.
Thus, Gao Feng replied, “Friend, I think it’s doable. We’re still within the eligible range of age. So why can’t we join? I’m only 23 years old this year and should be able to take part for another seven years! Those few level guild clubs have always dominated the S Tournament. Dome can do whatever it can. With you and Chu Ci participating, our team has the youngest average age of members. It’s time for the S Tournament to change and for there to be some new sparks!”
Lin Yuan had felt that it would be no different from bullying if he took part in the S Tournament with his current power. But there was also no need for him to completely back out.
Firstly, his age fit the acceptable age range.
Secondly, Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, Tan Ran, and Xin Ying had been training non-stop for the past few months with the goal of participating in the S Tournament. If Dome did not participate in the S Tournament, it would be unfair to the four of them.
Thus, Lin Yuan said, “Okay! We’ll take part! After the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ends, every time will return to calm. At that time, we’ll choose Dome’s final main team member! Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran will take part in the elimination rounds. We’ll decide on our next step after we get through to the round-robin.”
Lin Yuan felt that given the four of their powers, it would be easy for them to get through the elimination rounds.
Although the four of them had only comprehended one Willpower Rune, they were all B-rank spirit qi professionals.
Although Lu Pinru used to be C-rank, she broke through while she was in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
