The four referees chased for a while, and when they heard Gao Xin was selling the good equipnt they had given him, they were instantly furious.
"Damn it, leave the heads and equipnt behind!"
The four referees were infuriated by Tai Sui, quickly closing in to within eighty ters, their avatars reaching through the air to grab their teammates’ heads.
Gao Xin had no ans to deal with avatars; previously, he had relied on brute resistance.
Seeing them rushing in suddenly, he launched a counterattack on the spot, flashing with lightning, charging at the referees with a desperate stance.
The energy from eighteen different weapons was intense, and his own two hands shone with the Vermilion Bird Wings, boasting a destructive power akin to the True Image Power.
The four referees didn’t dare to fight desperately, partly because the rules limited them—hurting a player within the ring ant a deduction from their salaries.
On the other hand, even if they recklessly counterattacked Gao Xin, Gao Xin could likely take out at least one of them, perhaps even two!
Not to ntion the inevitable loss of the heads on their person in the ensuing chaos.
This completely contradicted their original intention of advancing into the ring, so in a flash, the four referees had no choice but to retreat at full speed, not daring to engage.
"Damn it, this is too frustrating, we have no chance like this..."
"How did we let him enter the ring? We should have fought him head-on long ago."
"Fight for our lives with a player? We are referees!"
"Are we just going to watch him sell our equipnt?"
"The equipnt doesn’t matter, it’s issued anyway, but it’s too damn embarrassing to let him keep parading the Navy heads."
"Inside the ring, we’re not allowed to attack players; we can only hope that soone else obstructs Tai Sui so we can rescue our comrades in the nick of ti."
"But this Tai Sui is too strong; most Tiger Levels pose no threat to him."
"Are there any strong players nearby? Is Themis around?"
"Not here, I haven’t detected Themis at all since the beginning; wait? I’ve detected Haley twenty kiloters away!"
"Oh? If it’s Haley, she should be able to help us bring down Tai Sui. This woman also has the ability to slay True Images."
"Keep up the pressure, force him towards Haley."
The four referees were infuriated by Tai Sui but were powerless to act.
In the situation where they couldn’t harm the players, it was imnsely challenging to go up and steal the heads and weapons.
If it were any other Tiger Level, it would be easier to handle; the four Elephant Level referees could easily take control.
But Tai Sui was not that simple; the heads he wore were a warning of what ca before.
Luckily for them, they located Haley from Evil Dragon Castle, just ten kiloters away.
Imdiately, the four referees streaked through the sky like a shooting light, changing direction, continuing to press Gao Xin.
They kept following, occasionally seizing opportunities to steal heads.
Although they failed every ti, their presence successfully directed Gao Xin towards Haley.
For Gao Xin, it didn’t matter which direction he took; he was just looking for the other two S items.
Thus, he kept walking and calling out his wares.
Eventually, a group of people from Milan City were tempted and approached Gao Xin from the flank.
"Aquarius! It’s you, huh? Would you fancy a couple of S-level weapons?" Recognizing the person, Han Feng imdiately began his sales pitch.
The newcor looked on with a peculiar expression: "Tai Sui, Han Feng, did you two slaughter your way out of the ring, slaughtered the referees, and now you’re selling the equipnt?"
Han Feng nodded affirmatively: "It’s all Tai Sui’s doing; I’m just tagging along."
He was not the least ashad of riding coattails; if anything, he took pride in it.
But people did not take this lightly; having the courage to delve deep outside the ring was comndable, and even if he was just clinging on, he had to know what he was doing. If the referees could not kill Tai Sui, couldn’t they kill Han Feng? Han Feng’s strength was also substantial.
"Will the equipnt I buy be confiscated by the referees?" Aquarius asked.
Gao Xin smiled: "Inside the ring, the referees can’t harm the players. If you lose the S-level weapons, you can’t bla , can you?"
Aquarius laughed proudly: "True enough, what of the True Elephant Level? If anyone dares to steal my equipnt, I’ll make sure they can’t get away with it."
Clearly, he was a formidable nearly-Tiger King, safe from True Elephant Level harm inside the ring, holding an S-level weapon. Not to ntion killing a True Image, at least keeping the weapon was no problem.
"However, I don’t have cash on . If you trust Milan’s Aquarius Feis, I’ll transfer the redemption coupons to you after we get out."
Han Feng hastily said: "Tai Sui, brother, Aquarius is from Milan’s Guard Squad, absolutely trustworthy, and not short of money."
Gao Xin nodded in agreent; who would carelessly bring cash to a tournant?
As long as their character was sound, a gentleman’s trade was all that was needed.
So, Han Feng’s role was important; as a scion of Tangren City’s upper echelons, his network and reputation were sufficient to diate.
If he felt it wasn’t right, or didn’t know the person, no matter how high they offered, it wouldn’t matter, who knows if they were just freeloading.
"A million it is, then. I’ll buy three straight up—one for each of us, and my brothers." He was one of three, with the other two also Tiger Levels from Milan City.
As Han Feng handed over the weapons, he said: "From now on, we are allies, and must not engage in combat with one another."
Aquarius nodded: "Of course. In this competition, I go with you guys."
Trading during the preliminaries of the Tiger King Conference was common; usually, after a trade, there would be no more fighting, akin to a tacit agreent to help each other qualify, forming an alliance.
Otherwise, wasn’t that funding the enemy? There were virtually no instances where soone found good equipnt, sold it to a rival, then started fighting each other again.
If the seller managed to kill the buyer, who would pay back the money? It would be psychologically and motivationally disadvantageous.
The buyer, too, had to think ahead: to take the weapon outside, they had to be amongst the top 1024. If after buying a weapon they got defeated and it was confiscated, not only would they be eliminated, but also left in debt. To whom could they appeal?
