Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 722 - 372: Advent!

"Are those two slots meant for them?" Azure Sea and Heaven lifted his head just a bit. Even though he was blind, Demon Elephant Zaka and Scarlet North Star both sensed a piercing gaze upon them.
"Exactly, you’ve got sharp instincts. I almost think you’ve been faking your blindness." Razor nodded openly, holding nothing back. "I pulled out all the stops to recruit these two powerhouses. This time, grabbing the two spots for the global tournament was child’s play for them, and nailing two slots will be no sweat at all."
Azure Sea and Heaven reached for the teacup on the table, sipped slowly, and spoke deliberately, "I get what’s on your mind, Razor. If we’re teaming up, let’s discuss it once you’ve locked in those global tournament slots."
"What, you doubt they can snag the slots?" Razor burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Zaka and Scarlet furrowed their brows faintly. Though they stayed silent, their displeasure toward Azure Sea and Heaven was clear as day.
"Don’t sell these two short. They’re prodigies of the highest caliber. Virtual games pose no real threat to them." Razor gazed at the quiet Azure Sea and Heaven, shaking his head with a grin. "Or are you claiming everyone who beat you outshines them?"
Azure Sea and Heaven’s shocking elimination this time, failing to even reach the main event and dropping out in the fourth round, had stunned everyone.
While others might be clueless, Razor knew full well that Azure Sea and Heaven led Sky Traveler, a legend in the virtual gaming scene. Under normal circumstances, snatching a national slot would be effortless for him.
Azure Sea and Heaven’s current demeanor led Razor to believe he was holding a grudge, blind to the true prowess of Zaka and Scarlet.
"I’ll repeat myself. We talk once you’ve earned the Pioneer qualification." Azure Sea and Heaven kept his voice steady, utterly unshaken by Razor’s remarks.
"Fine, but my price will skyrocket by then; you know how it works." Razor stayed cool-headed, then departed with the pair in tow.
Only after Razor and his companions had been gone for some time did a young man enter the room where Azure Sea and Heaven had lingered for over ten minutes—it was Kuangxing.
"Young master, we’ve secured your slot," Kuangxing announced with thrill. "Plus, more than five thousand legion members made the cut this round."
"Excellent, start the preparations." Azure Sea and Heaven nodded, a faint smile tugging at his lips for once.
Razor’s taunts meant nothing to him. Those two Razor brought were undeniably top-tier. Such elite auras couldn’t be faked, and in games like Eternal Immortal Path, their skills likely matched or exceeded his own.
Yet the Eternal Immortal Path national tournament had driven home how much he’d underestimated Descent of High Martial.
He’d been crushed by a mere Bone Forging Realm player from Descent of High Martial, and Kuangxing reported that half of the near two hundred thousand entrants were Bone Forging Realm types, leaving him speechless.
He’d never seen himself as a genius, but he wasn’t an idiot either. Only Descent of High Martial could deliver such a decisive thrashing.
Luckily, foreign conglomerates remained oblivious to Descent of High Martial’s rise, giving him his shot. Teaming up with Ye Qinglu and the rest was out of the question for him. But the game’s update flooded the slots, letting him onboard another five thousand players.
Right now, not just Azure Sea and Heaven—domestic conglomerates everywhere were waking up to Descent of High Martial’s power, pouring resources into claiming the nearly five million new slots.
Once the thirty-six-hour update wrapped up, five million players logged in at the same instant.
