Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 735 - 377: Shock and Awe!

"Why are there two more?"
"Did the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall dispatch additional Great Grandmasters?"
The piercing alarm from the spacecraft blared inside the cabin, confusing Hu Jin and his companions as they stared at the Life Detector.
To counter the powerhouse from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall who matched Half-step Divine Fusion Realm strength, they had fine-tuned the Life Detector aboard the Sky Giant Ship.
It triggered solely for lifeforms at Great Grandmaster rank. After all, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall boasted few Great Grandmasters—only six including the Hall Master and that powerhouse—so masses of them operating in the Wraith Mountain Range seemed improbable.
Yet now three were incoming straight toward them, defying all forecasts.
"One or three makes no difference, so long as that one arrives." Huang Jiu eyed the Life Detector coolly and remarked, "The extra two are yours to manage—you can do that, yes?"
She aimed solely for that one: seizing the expert rivaling Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Fellow Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall members lay outside her scheme.
"No issue; beyond that Half-step Divine Fusion Realm equivalent, the others fall to us." Hu Jin nodded promptly without pause.
Huang Jiu's hire targeted solely the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm rival. Absent such a threat in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, troubles wouldn't plague them—especially since facing just two Great Grandmasters was trivial for their group.
Huang Jiu, Hu Jin, and two more exited the cabin onto the deck, poised for the trio from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall racing near.
No sooner had Huang Jiu and company hit the Sky Giant Ship's deck than three silhouettes materialized nearby, encircling the vessel in formation.
The aura radiating from the newcomers left Huang Jiu and her allies instantly dumbfounded.
"What in the world is this?"
"Since when does the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall harbor three powerhouses of this caliber?"
Huang Jiu and the three captains alike sensed the overwhelming might from Luo Wushang, Ye Qinglu, and Lu Fanchen—a level beyond reach for breeding planet natives, surpassing even the top ten Legion Commanders of Prison Dragon Star in sheer intimidation.
"The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall hides its depths well, nurturing three such titans in secret—no surprise it's vexed you." Huang Jiu regarded them with faint shock, astonished that a simple breeding planet could produce such elites, then faced Hu Jin: "Which is our target?"
Luo Wushang and company's arrival stunned, yet Huang Jiu's objective stood firm: nab the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm peer first, while Hu Jin stalled the rest.
Though Hu Jin's team couldn't match top ten Prison Dragon Star Legion Commanders head-on, buying time against them proved feasible, affording her the window to snag the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm foe.
"The footage depicted a Human Race girl, but her hood obscures clear identification." Hu Jin glanced at Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu, admitting awkwardly.
Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's gray-robed disciples all donned hoods veiling faces, permitting only gender tells at best; else their scouts could have tracked them fully.
"One of those two?" Huang Jiu's brows knit lightly, irked by the snag, then she conceded, "Fine, I'll probe them—keep the remaining one busy!"
Hu Jin and crew assented without demur.
They could clash with Prison Dragon Star's top ten Legion Commander sorts, but a true Half-step Divine Fusion Realm foe spelled likely doom in entanglement.
As Huang Jiu's group parleyed, across the way Luo Wushang and allies traded stunned looks, amazed at spotting the Sky Giant Ship so swiftly, now pondering how to snag their Evil Demon Race quarry.
Three Celestial Human Realm powerhouses possessed roughly equal battle prowess. Any meddling would doom all chances of seizing the Evil Demon Race woman, and on top of that, the mission's reward—a single Blue Weapon—refused to be divided among them. No one dared to forsake such a prime chance.
"With the Evil Demon Race woman right here, why not seize her based on arrival order?" Luo Wushang suggested.
"That sounds unfair," Ye Qinglu countered, "I propose we all rush in—whoever knocks her out first claims her."
"I agree with that," Lu Fanchen endorsed.
Luo Wushang had shown up first on site, and granting her the initial shot risked botching the mission entirely. All of them hovered at Celestial Human Realm, their powers neck-and-neck. Should Luo Wushang fail to nab her, the others would too; if she pulled it off, they could match her feat. Hence, they absolutely refused to let Luo Wushang strike first.
This Blue Weapon marked just the second from Descent of High Martial’s closed beta to date—a golden opportunity impossible to ignore.
As Luo Wushang, Ye Qinglu, and Lu Fanchen squabbled fiercely, their unencrypted chat via smart wristbands rang out boldly in mid-air, crystal clear to everyone within a kilometer, straight into the ears of Huang Jiu and her allies. Huang Jiu couldn't follow the Human Race tongue, but Hu Jin and the captains grasped every single word without flaw.
