Zhao Bo was old, and his words were often jumbled and repetitive . Lu Li wasn't patient enough to chit chat around with him and quickly took his leave .
He didn't bother to head back to the old house, in case the poor grandfather and grandson thought that he had returned to chase them out .
Although the old house contained 20 years of Lu Li's memories, there wasn't much worth remembering for him about it . What mattered to him was his sister, not the house itself .
Walking out of the alley, Lu Li held the umbrella as he continued talking with Water Fairy . Every now and then, he would point out the surrounding and tell her of the past things that had happened there . For example, the empty spot behind a bunch of rocks near the trench was now filled with vegetables thanks to Lu Li from ten years ago .
The trench was low and would be drowned whenever it was rain season, so no one was willing to build anything near here .
"So you can grow your own food and you can also cook them . "
Water Fairy was impressed by Lu Li, because she couldn't do this . Everything that she had kept had died; she couldn't even keep a cactus alive .
As for cooking, she didn't need to do that since she had servants to look after her .
"My cooking is quite decent . You can tell from Xin Xin; it's not easy to raise her up . "

Lu Li was proud about this . He could probably be proud about it for his entire life, especially the fact that he had finally reached so far in his current life .
"It's so nice to have a brother," Water Fairy sighed enviously .
If she had a brother too, her father would stop pushing so much pressure on her and she would have had a happy childhood . Her brother would be there to protect her from harm .
"Or, I can be your brother," Lu Li joked .
Of course, Water Fairy couldn't take it seriously . There was no way she could ever see him as a brother .
After the stone bridge, Lu Li pointed at the little cave below the bridge and said, "There's a cave there; I've got no idea how it appeared . Although the cave is a little damp, there's no water in it . One time when I was a kid, I upset someone and had to take my sister to hide there for a few days until the issue was solved . "
"You can't be serious . "
Water Fairy bent her back as far as she could, but she couldn't find the cave .
"Stop looking . Be careful not to fall down," Lu Li reminded her .
The two continued looking around, spending almost their entire afternoon in the slum where Lu Li used to live . They didn't even get to look at where Lu Li was living right now, or where Ruling Sword was located . This would have to wait until some other day .

Later on, the people from Peerless City left . Square Root 3 went to the airport to see them off while Lu Li went back online to continue levelling up .
He was currently ranked at the 9th place on the level ranking and was close to dropping out from the top 10 . It was only a matter of time before this happened, but Lu Li didn't want the gap between himself and the others to grow too large .
After another two days, the third random match begun . The System decided where the match would be held and it was in Jiangnan City like last time . The only difference was that Ruling Sword didn't have a choice of the map . The map was picked at random by the system from the nine available maps – Dustwallow Marsh .
Dustwallow Marsh wasn't a good one; they were unlucky .
Peerless City stepped foot back into this city again after two days .
This time, Water Fairy didn't come along . Drizzle Court was having their second match against Seventh Heaven on the same day .
Regardless, there was no pressure at all for this third match . No matter what they did, they were guaranteed to make it into the final four .
The situation was similar for Glory Capital, who had been pressuring Blood Red War Flag . Perhaps, the most unlucky team amongst all was Blood Red War Flag . They didn't want to pick Glory Capital at all because of the strength difference, so there was almost no hope of victory for them at all . Glory Capital was their living nightmare .
Wings of Dawn and Gale Legion were about even . One was from the Alliance faction while the other was from the Horde faction . The fans were constantly having a go at each other because of the faction difference, so it was probably the liveliest match amongst all .

Apparently, the match grounds were even more troublesome in real life . The government had sent out a good number of police to maintain the order, and the audience was banned from bringing any fake or cosplay items because real items could also be mixed within . Most of these items were cosplay weapons from the game, heavy enough to knock out someone .
The first player to battle from Ruling Sword was Fat Monkey . He was a Fire Mage and they didn't need him later for the group match . As such, he had the first spot for the one-on-one matches .
The results were pretty much set, but Lu Li still had to do what was best for him .
As the first player representing Ruling Sword, Fat Monkey was placed against Professional Healer . It seemed like whatever went on between them in real life was solved and they were back to being their own selves .
Seeing this match up, Moonlight shook his head first and sighed .
"What? You've got no faith in him?" Lu Li asked .
"Monkey can't beat Professional Healer . It's not just about the class; their prowess and battle style are some of the reasons too," Moonlight explained, then added, "And today is Peerless City's final match . They'll do everything they can . "
Professional Healer sounded like an ID for a healer, but he was actually a Shadow Priest .
In the current stage of Dawn, Shadow Priests were rare . They needed good equipment and skills to be viable . Otherwise, they couldn't heal or deal damage, and could easily be killed by monsters .
In PVE, Shadow Priests could help with mana regeneration for magic classes, but this alone wasn't enough for them to be wanted in a dungeon . As such, it was very rare to see any Shadow Priests at all in 15-mandungeons . It was only later down the track after 40-man raids were made available that Shadow Priests would start to be considered .
Professional Healer had Peerless City behind him and had no problems with equipment and skills, so of course he was a strong player .
It seemed like Moonlight had fought him before in the arena, so he was able to tell that Fat Monkey wouldn't be able to beat him . He wasn't wrong . Fat Monkey was quickly thrown off the stage . Although he took 30% of Professional Healer's health with him, Professional Healer was also a Priest who could somewhat heal himself .
Lu Li was the next one to come on stage, facing off against Professional Healer, who almost had full health .
Shadow Priests were favoured for one-on-one matches, as they were similar to Warlocks . If you couldn't kill them, they would eventually outlast you .
Three minutes into the match, Lu Li took the victory . Professional Healer was taken down by three consecutive critical strikes in a row . Lu Li used quite a lot of skills and special effects to defeat him .
Ruling Sword thought that Professional Healer was troublesome, but Peerless City thought that Lu Li was even more so . As such, they immediately sent out Green Flag Wine, who was obviously more certain about the situation since he could heal himself . It took him around a dozen minutes to finally take down Lu Li . His name and celebrity status obviously weren't just for show .
Green Flag Wine was then faced with Mu Qiu . Both of them had a similar play style – they tried to tire each other out and the match dragged on for a long time . In the end, Green Flag Wine lost because he had less mana than Mu Qiu .
The one-on-one matches ended with a 5 to 4, with Ruling Sword taking the leading point .
At this point, Ruling Sword had already entered the top 4 .
