Wang Yu and his companion lived a simple life and did not have much to pack. Both quickly gathered a few sets of clothing and left the house.

　　Li Xue and co. were still in the game at this point in time so Wang Yu did not have time to inform them of the change in plans.

　　Although Wang Yu’s house was a distance away from L City, the transportation system was efficient. There were still trains running in the afternoon.

　　As both went up on the bus, Wang Yu was serene and relaxed. He seemed like he was enjoying himself on a holiday. Mu Zi Xian was the complete opposite. She was gripped by anxiety as she was faced with the daunting task of meeting Wang Yu’s family.

　　One had to know that Mu Zi Xian and Wang Yu were not just dating, but the couple had actually eloped together to get married… Explaining such a situation to Wang Yu’s family would be extremely awkward.

　　There was no other way around this. One had to do what was right. A daughter-in-law must meet her in-laws. Without the blessings of family, a marriage would not be perfect.

　　On the road, Mu Zi Xian could not stay still. She was constantly fidgeting around with her mirror, occasionally touching upon her makeup. She wanted to give the best first impression to Wang Yu’s parents… However, her makeup skills left much to be desired. In her distressed state, she almost made a mess of her makeup.

　　“What are you doing? What have you done to your face?” Wang Yu turned his head over and was dismayed and what he saw.

　　“Doesn’t it look nice?” Mu Zi Xian pouted her lips and asked.

　　Wang Yu facepalmed and replied, “You look like a monster. Faster, go and wash it away.”

　　“You b*stard!!” Mu Zi Xian playfully threw a punch towards Wang Yu.

　　There was still eight hours to their destination. Wang Yu did not have anything else to do and starting browsing the Rebirth Forum on Mu Zi Xian’s tablet.

　　There were many discussions going on in the forums, but the most talked-about topics was that of the professional league.

　　In the past, teams could accumulate points during the regular season. As long as their points reached a certain threshold, they were able to register for the main competition.

　　These were the rules of the competitive arena and they applied to everyone, including <<REBIRTH>>.

　　Most of the guilds had already accumulated some points during the regular season. Quan Zhen Sect had only decided recently that they wanted to compete in the competition. Therefore, their total tally was currently at 0…

　　There were only two months left before the start of the competition. Judging from the laidback nature of the people from Quan Zhen Sect, accumulating enough points to qualify for the competition was going to be difficult…

　　However, <<REBIRTH>> paid a lot of attention to their ordinary team. There was even an internal selection test for those who wanted to compete in the competition.

　　The benchmark for the internal selection test was very low. As long as one was in the team, he could sign up for it. This led to Soaring Dragon Game Studios getting large approvals from the community of players.

　　For the longest time, the professional tournament was exclusive to players of big guilds. The ordinary players simply did not stand a chance. This time, Soaring Dragon Game Studios was giving an equal opportunity for all.

　　Soaring Dragon Game Studios understood that there was a large disparity between large guilds and the ordinary players. Even when faced with an even playing field, ordinary players were not expected to be able to win anything. What they were more focused on was that every player was treated equally.

　　At this moment on the forum, there was a lot of buzz generated about the competition. Some were busy analysing which teams were likely to come out victorious and others were busy promoting their favourite players.

　　However, most of the discussions were of people trying to find teammates…

　　Some of these players could not even find teammates within their own city… This was indicative of their actual combat ability.

　　Wang Yu was successfully attracted to an official post about the tournament. This was with regards to team selection competition and also the professional tournament.

　　The specific timing for the team selection competition was already out. It was less than ten days from now and the registration deadline was to be one day before the competition.

　　This competition divided the main city into 15 districts. Wang Yu belonged to the seventh district.

　　The format for the competition and tournament was roughly similar. There were the individual events, King of the Hill events, Team PVP events. There was to be a minimum of 10 players in each team and a maximum of 12 players.

　　The top team in each district would then be eligible to participate in the knockout rounds with the other thirty-five teams that had already qualified.

　　The top twenty teams of the knockout round would then be able to compete in the national tournament. While the top four teams of the national tournament would be the representatives for the regional tournament.

　　Today <<REBIRTH>> was divided into three major regions, namely, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

　　Each district has its own sub-area and server according to each country. The smaller countries were split into fewer districts. For a big continent like Europe, it was split into fifteen districts.

　　The top two teams for each regional tournament would have the chance to compete in the World Championships. The ultimate winner of the World Championships would a true champion. This team would truly to be called unrivalled.

　　After reading the notice, Wang Yu collected his thoughts and said to Mu Zi Xian, “Just by looking at the format of the competition, I can already feel the viciousness of upcoming fights.”

　　“Of course, competition is always cruel,” Mu ZI Xian replied.

　　“Do you think we have hope in this competition?” Wang Yu murmured.

　　Mu Zi Xian did not reply Wang Yu directly but instead said, “Before <<REBIRTH>>, the Soaring Dragon Game Studios had a previous game that had a similar format of giving ordinary players equal chances for competitions.”

　　“Oh? What was the outcome of it?” Wang Yu inquired.

　　“Those fifteen ordinary teams never made it out of the knockout stages…” Mu Zi Xian continued, “Professional players simply have the absolute advantage over ordinary players in every aspect of the game. No matter is it in combat strength or tactics…”

　　Sure enough, players were divided into two categories. One of such categories would be those with the ability and also ambition. These players sought fame and fortune. Unsurprisingly, many capable gamers belonged to this category.

　　The other category were players with ability but harboured no grand ambition. They were happy playing the game as it was and had no interest towards competitions of any sorts.

　　Although this category of people were few and far between, they would definitely not venture into esports…

　　Once these two categories of players were eliminated, what was left were those who had neither ambition nor ability.

　　Therefore, the ordinary teams had to pick players from the bottom of the barrel.

　　There was already an inherent disparity between ordinary players and professional players. Coupled with the additional monetary support by guilds, professional teams had simply accrued too large of an advantage compared to ordinary teams.

　　Even if Lady Luck was upon these ordinary teams, it was near impossible to envision a route to victory.

　　“All things said, I am guessing our team’s chances do not look that optimistic.” Wang Yu scratched his chin in contemplation.

　　“That may not be the case.” Mu Zi Xian revealed a smile. “Our team has you… Furthermore, Fearless and the rest are no slouches themselves… The World Championships may be a stretch but National Championships is definitely within reach.”
