He had originally thought this would be the easiest battle, and that he’d be able to watch the others fight afterward.

The battle did indeed turn out to be easy.

But then he got held up by other annoying matters.

’Oh well.’ He clicked to return.

He didn’t see Gu Qing and the others in front of the Lord’s House.

But peals of laughter drifted over from the nearby Carefree Spring.

’Those women... really living up to the "carefree" name.’

Zhao Chi stripped down and walked toward the Carefree Spring.

After the battle had ended, Zhao Tan had called him to resting room #7.

A system message had appeared, but he was only now getting the time to look at it.

[Calculating results for the fourth round...]

[You have received a total of 95 points. Current rank: 3rd]

’Third place?’

Zhao Chi hadn’t even used his full strength yet.

And yet, just one quick victory had brought him to third.

If he had gone all out from the beginning, he might have already shot up to first place.

’It doesn’t really matter, though.’

More of the common folk might start betting on him.

If Zhao Chi could keep winning for them, he could probably gain some supporters.

That was an unexpected bonus.

[Matching for the semifinal qualifier...]

[Match found!]

[Match Number] 4

[Time] 3:00 PM

[Duration] 60 minutes

[Battlefield] Battlefield 2

[Opponent] Lang Hu of Nangu Village

So it was Lang Hu.

’Another familiar face.’

Well, "familiar" wasn’t entirely accurate. Zhao Chi had known of him for a long time, but the two had no real relationship.

Lang Hu was a low-key person.

And he was legitimately strong.

People who were both low-key and powerful usually made a good impression.

Lang Hu was just like that.

He was of average Height and his Appearance wasn’t particularly striking; he just looked like an ordinary man.

But his style was extremely decisive, never sloppy.

His Race was tiger man.

That was a decent Race as well.

Based on the information from watching the previous match, he could tell that Lang Hu acquired four tiger men per day.

You could indirectly judge their strength by that number.

Zhao Chi hadn’t seen many of Lang Hu’s matches, but Zhao Jiao had.

Ever since Lü Hong was eliminated, Zhao Jiao was basically a free agent.

She had been moving back and forth between the various battlefields.

Gathering information on the other contestants.

Lang Hu was one of her primary targets.

Just now, on the way back, Zhao Jiao had told Zhao Chi everything she had discovered.

"It seems there’s a Time limit on the tiger men’s transformation. In their human form, their combat power is average, but when they transform into their tiger Form, they’re extremely powerful."

Zhao Chi asked, "How do they compare to Ghouls?"

Zhao Jiao recalled, "In tiger Form, they’re larger than Ghouls, and they have Fur for protection. Their Defense Power and impact force are definitely stronger. But their claws and teeth aren’t as good as a Ghoul’s."

Zhao Huai disagreed.

"Even if their claws are shorter and they have fewer teeth, I don’t think the tiger men are necessarily weaker than Ghouls."

"I’m talking about Frenzied Ghouls."

"So am I."

Zhao Chi cut them off. "Either way, the point is that the tiger men are strong in close combat."

Zhao Jiao nodded. "Right. And their charging speed isn’t slow, either. You have to be careful."

"Okay, I will."

"On top of that, Lang Hu has two female Elf Heroes and a Goblin Hero. They can all ride the tiger men and advance when they’re transformed."

"Got it. So their method of movement is similar to Cao Feng’s. They ride the tiger men, so their speed isn’t slow."

"Exactly. But I couldn’t get a clear look at their Skills. The two female Elf Heroes are probably there to supplement their ranged damage. I’m not sure about the Goblin Hero, though."

Zhao Huai asked, "What’s not to be sure about? Can’t you get a rough idea of their Skills just by watching?"

Zhao Jiao said, "I wasn’t just watching Lang Hu, you know! There were several other people I had to keep an eye on. Who knew which contestant Zhao Chi would end up facing? So I didn’t see them use their Skills."

Zhao Chi quickly interjected, "It’s fine. This information is already very helpful."

Zhao Huai said, "Anyway, every Race has its own characteristics. For example, Goblins are good with poisons, Beastmen are fierce in head-on fights, and Elves are accurate with ranged attacks."

Zhao Jiao retorted, "That’s a stereotype. It’s true for the Races, but you can’t just assume the same for Heroes."

Zhao Huai said, "I was talking about Heroes."

"You were talking about the Race," Zhao Jiao said.

Zhao Chi said wearily, "It’s okay. I know all this."

Zhao Jiao said, "Later on, if you promote someone to a Hero, you could also buy slaves of other Races to promote. It might give you more diversity."

Zhao Chi nodded.

But he had no intention of doing so.

The Exchange actually had plenty of slaves from other Races.

Zhao Chi had only browsed before, but he’d never bought any.

’After all, not many of them are useful.’

’Ordinary Races are no match for the women of the Peach Blossom Human Race, so buying them would be useless.’

’Some are very strong, but they’re too expensive.’

Buying one or two very strong slaves was actually like buying a piece of High Level Equipment—it was a one-time use.

Once they died, they were gone for good.

’Besides, slaves have an Obedience Level.’

If they were too strong, the chance of rebellion was also high.

So for now, Zhao Chi only captured slaves; he didn’t buy them.

Of course, if he came across any he was satisfied with, there was no problem with buying a few.

But they could only be used as auxiliary Soldier Types.

’If I’m going to promote a Hero, I’ll definitely choose from the Peach Blossom Human Race.’

’After all, the Genes of these women have been improved multiple times, making them quite outstanding.’

Just based on Fearless and Bone Gathering Resurrection, Zhao Chi had no reason to use any other Race.

Moreover, his compatibility with the Peach Blossom Human Race was 100%, which might offer some benefits for the Body Driving Technique, or for other unknown things.

He pulled his thoughts back to the present.
