Chapter 311: Are you ready?
Over a month passed after that.
We went back to the dungeons with the first dungeon raid team during this time and we learned quite a bit about raiding dungeons with them.
The first dungeon raid team was the first dungeon raid team for a reason.
The ability that they demonstrated was clearly not something that one could look down on.
So we were able to learn quite a bit about raiding dungeons from them.
The incident that happened the first day only happened on that first day. After that first day, the person who had accused us had disappeared from the first dungeon raid team.
Without that person inciting everyone, they slowly came to accept us for the ability that we demonstrated. Overall, it was a much better work environment for everyone.
I didn't know if Rupert had something to do with this or if he backed down willingly, but it was good that he was gone.
All of us had also become much stronger because of this, so we were leagues stronger than before.
That was good because it was now time for the tournament that Bing Lan had mentioned before.
This was a tournament that was held jointly by the large guilds and even sponsored by the Awakener Association, so there was no doubt that this was a big deal.
This was a tournament that was only for rookies, so as long as one was able to stand out in the tournament, one would have a bright future.
But at the same time, that meant that the ones who were enrolled in this tournament were all powerful people as well. It would be hard to place, let alone reach the top.
On this bright morning, I found that Su Chen was there waiting for me.
As usual, he came to pick me up, but this time he had a clearly different tone to him.
This time, there was this strange sense of pride to his expression.
It was almost like a dad who was seeing his son's first real achievement.
I couldn't help feeling awkward seeing this, but I had to admit that if it wasn't for Su Chen's help during this time, I might not have been able to achieve all of this. He was the one that was fully in charge of my exercise program, the one who had completely rebuilt my body.
Though I didn't become as muscular as Su Chen, I could see that I was visibly more muscular when I looked at myself in the mirror.
I knew that everything that he had done had helped me reach where I was today.
After looking at me like this for a bit, he suddenly asked in a calm voice, "Are you ready?"
I looked back at him and gave a firm nod without saying anything.
At this point, there was no need for words.
Just this action alone was already enough.
Su Chen also gave a nod before opening the door to the car for me.
The two of us just drove in silence as we headed to the transport gate.
Since this was a large event, naturally it wouldn't be held in a city like ours.
Especially since Elementia's headquarters were here.
Elementia was only one of the guilds that sponsored this, so it wasn't as if it could be held in their territory or it would send the wrong message.
For this tournament, an island in the middle of the ocean had been prepared.
This was a completely deserted island before the people of the large guilds had found it.
Once they decided to turn it into the venue of the tournament, it had completely changed because of the power of these large guilds.
I had even heard that there was a city being built on the island for this.
But before heading off, we gathered with everyone.
It wasn't just my group, but also Kaito's group that we gathered with.
Last time Bing Lan had talked to me about this, I had brought up inviting Kaito's group as well and she had agreed to this.
I later learned that because Kaito's group had been added, we had used up all of our slots in the tournament.
So it meant that our group would be Elementia's representative in this tournament.
There were no backups, we were it.
So if we failed spectacularly, that would be completely on us.
If we failed, it would mean that we had lost face for Elementia which was something that was hard to live down.
But were we bothered by that?
After we had gathered, I saw all of them with serious looks on their faces.
However, I knew that this wasn't a problem since I could also see that there wasn't a trace of worry or fear in their eyes.
We had been focused on training for over a month now, so we were all much stronger than before.
Naturally that also made us much more confident of our chances of winning.
When they saw me arrive, they all gathered around me, but they all had the same serious look on their faces.
Not a single person said a thing as they stood there.
With the way that they were looking at me, it was as if they were expecting me to say something.
I didn't say much in the end since there was only one thing that needed to be asked.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes." All of them said this single word before giving firm nods.
The power in their voices showed just how ready they were and how determined they were to win.
With this, there was nothing left for me to say as we headed to the transport gate.
Since we were going to the tournament on behalf of Elementia, we naturally received the VIP treatment and were allowed to transport from the private gate as soon as we arrived.
This wasn't much for Long Shui Ling, but it was definitely a lot of us who had lower status than her.
When we arrived, we couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of us.
