Chapter 1463 Faction War Rules

1463 Faction War Rules

As Yuan and the others approached Arena One, they were met with the sight of a sea of people clamoring to enter the arena.

"Heavens, there are a lot more people today than usual. There are probably millions of people in line," Yu Rou muttered in a dazed voice when she saw the crowded scene.

"It's no surprise, and I'd wager that everyone here has come to witness the Demon Sealing Faction's debut," Bai Lianhua remarked with a calm smile.

After taking a moment to scan the scene with his divine sense, Yuan found Chairman Lee standing by the second entrance meant for participants.

Of course, the 40,000 members of Fiery Locust Swarm were also there, trying to enter the arena.

Yuan and the others approached the entrance.

Chairman Lee noticed Meifeng first due to her maid outfit and beauty.

"I have been waiting for you. Let's go to your room first," he said to them.

"Okay."

The members of the Fiery Locust Swarm stared at Chairman Lee and the others with raised eyebrows.

"Who are they? How come the Chairman of the Cultivators' Association is personally greeting them at the entrance?"

"I don't recognize them."

Due to Yuan and the other notable identities still being disguised, nobody from the Fiery Locust Swarm recognized them as their upcoming opponent, the Demon Sealing Faction.

Once Chairman Lee led Yuan and his group inside the arena, the Fiery Locust Swarm quickly stopped thinking about it and resumed talking about their upcoming match.

"I still cannot believe that the Demon Sealing Faction would challenge us with a mere dozen people. Just what are they thinking?"

"They've probably gone mad from playing too much Cultivation Online."

"I never thought the day I would contribute to Player Yuan's defeat would ever come, but it's so close I can already taste it."

Sometime later, Yuan and the others sat down before a long, round table inside a spacious office.

"Umm… I have been wondering this since I saw you guys, but where are the rest? There are only eight of you." Chairman Lee asked.

"Hm? Oh, no, we're not members of the Demon Sealing Faction." Bai Lianhua said, and she proceeded to remove her disguise.

"You… White Lotus?"

Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi also removed their disguise.

"W-wait… so there are only five members from the Demon Sealing Faction? Are the others okay?"

Yuan removed his disguise and nodded, "Yes, they are fine, but they won't be participating in the Faction War."

"E-excuse me?" Chairman Lee stared at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He slowly counted the people in the room, excluding those from Eternal Lotuses. After counting five of them, he started counting again just in case he miscounted.

"Five of you?! Are you really planning on fighting the Fiery Locust Swarm with just the five of you?!" Chairman Lee found the situation too absurd to believe.

"Yes. There shouldn't be any problems, right? After all, you technically only need two people to participate in the siege mode."

"T-there's no problem, but…"

"I know what you're thinking, but have some faith in us. Also, as this will be the Demon Sealing Faction's first appearance, we should make it as shocking as possible."

"It will definitely be shocking, but unless you defeat the Fiery Locust Swarm, it won't be the good kind." Chairman Lee shook his head.

"Anyways, I won't say anything else on this topic since it won't change anything. Instead, let me brief you about your upcoming Faction War."

He retrieved several pieces of paper and handed them to the Demon Sealing Faction members.

"The first page explains the rules of siege mode. First and foremost, you are forbidden from seriously injuring or killing a player. While accidents happen, you will still be held responsible and removed from the Faction War. If you purposefully try to seriously harm or kill another player, your faction will automatically be disqualified, which will be considered as a loss, and you will also be forbidden from participating in another match for four years."

"Next, the match will have a six-hour time limit. If neither faction is able to kill the other's ruler in six hours, the faction with the most players alive will be declared the victor."

"Weapons will be provided to the players, so they are forbidden from bringing their own weapons. In fact, you are prohibited from bringing anything that wasn't provided to you into the match."

Hearing this, Yuan asked, "Is it possible for an individual to bring more than one weapon into the match?"

"Yes, just write down your desired weapons in the Weapon Request Form on the next page."

"Anyways, continuing with the rules, you are forbidden from using any martial techniques that are considered deadly'"

Wu Zao raised his hand and asked, "What do you consider to be deadly?"

"If you ask me, any martial technique can be considered deadly if used by the right person."

Chairman Lee replied, "Any techniques that attack indiscriminately, cannot be controlled, or always result in serious injuries are considered deadly."

Everyone there turned to look at Yuan. All of his martial techniques could be considered deadly since he could easily kill someone with them.

"Don't worry. In order to use a martial technique in the match, you must acquire approval first so you'll know what you can and cannot use. Before the Faction War begins, you may showcase any martial technique that you wish to use during the match before three judges. As long as you can prove that you have sufficient control over your technique and that you won't easily injure someone, you should be able to use any technique you want. However, the stronger the martial technique, the stricter the evaluation."

"Oh, that's good to know."

"Last rule. You are prohibited from consuming any performance-enhancing drugs before the match. If you are caught doing such a thing, you will be banned from participating in another match for the rest of your life." Chairman Lee spoke with a heavy tone.

After the system update, there have been many incidents of players consuming performance-enhancing drugs right before their match, giving them an unfair advantage, and it has led to several accidents that resulted in the death of players. However, since their world has yet to discover a reliable method of detecting such things, many players are still abusing such methods to have a higher chance of victory despite the risks.
