Chapter 1528 Black Cat

"Let's go meet up with the other judges first. I don't know if the meeting has started yet?" Farina muttered in a low voice.

Angel caught a word: "Meeting? What meeting?"

"It seems that there is a meeting to quantify the standards for winning and losing in the competition, and a standardized meeting to weigh the winners and losers for various different situations that may occur on the field." Farina paused and said, "However, it doesn't matter whether we listen to this kind of meeting or not."

"Anyway, unless there are special circumstances, special judges rarely intervene in the evaluation of wins and losses." After that, Farina blinked at Angel: "We just need to sit aside, drink tea and think about alchemy technology, and the competition will be over."

Angel: "..." It turns out that he is not the only one who intends to get points.

As soon as Farina finished speaking, she contacted someone through the communicator. From the light and shadow shown by the communicator, it can be seen that the other party is a middle-aged woman with a mean face.

Farina communicated with the other party for a while, then turned off the communicator and explained to Angel: "She is Witch Bartina, a close friend of mine, and also a judge for this Rising Star Competition, but she is not a special judge, but a permanent judge."

"Originally, I was still thinking about whether to attend the meeting on judging standards, but now I don't have to think about it, because Bartina told me that the meeting has been over for almost half an hour."

Angel apologized: "I am late."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I tend not to attend the meeting, but I am still a little hesitant because of face." Farina shrugged: "You are late for a while, but you made an ideal choice for me."

They walked forward all the way, because the audience had already gone to the Infinite Arena, and there were not many people outside.

Occasionally, they would meet one or two people, and when they saw Angel, they all showed surprise. Although no one dared to step forward, whispers were heard in the wind.

"The Sky of Truth" is not exaggerating this time, Angel has actually advanced!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. How dare you call him by his name? Be careful that Wizard Pat hears you."

"Angel... The one next to Wizard Pat is the Water Ripple Witch, right? I heard that the Water Ripple Witch seems to be the judge of this competition. So, Wizard Pat is not also..."

"Alas, when I came to participate in the Rising Star Competition, I was still thinking that Angel, as Jebo's old enemy, would definitely have a wonderful fateful battle in this competition. Who knew that Jebo was still a contestant, and he had become a judge."

Although these whispers were subtle, for formal wizards, as long as they wanted to hear them, they would be like thunder in their ears, and it would be useless to say it in a low voice.

Farina naturally heard those voices, and she smiled and said, "According to your current popularity, you will probably steal the limelight from all the judges in the preliminary round."

Angel: "This is not what I want, and do judges also need the limelight? I thought only contestants care about popularity."

"There are always people who enjoy the sense of accomplishment of being noticed." Farina: "I heard that a few judges care about these things, but they probably don't dare to say anything since you stole the limelight from them. After all, this is the general trend of Sky Mechanical City at the moment."

Public opinion has brought Angel to the top, which may have meant flattery at the beginning. But Angel himself has stood firm at the top and climbed a level higher, now reaching the level of a formal wizard. The so-called flattery has not only become a joke, but has even pushed his popularity to a higher climax.

The Rising Star Competition is so hot that it has not covered up Angel's brilliance. This can be seen from the fact that Ashelie's class-grabbing in the past two days almost emptied the streets of the alchemy circle.

This is the general trend that Farina said.

Soon after, under the guidance of Farina, they came to the backstage of the Infinite Arena. This is a road reserved for official wizards, so it is very quiet here. There is no one else except the two of them.

Not long after walking on this corridor, they suddenly heard a bang bang bang sound.

Angel frowned and looked at the source of the sound.

The sound came from a closed wooden door.

"It seems to be..." Farina was just halfway through her words when a big hole was broken in the middle of the wooden door, and a figure flew out from it.

It was a man covered in blood, his eyes had begun to turn white, and he was obviously fainted.

At this time, a black cat jumped lightly from the hole in the wooden door.

"This is the end of offending me." The black cat jumped onto the man's head, muttering a human voice in his mouth, revealing sharp claws, as if trying to break his head.

Suddenly, the black cat smelled the faint scent of flower tea in the air, arched his body, turned around suddenly, and his eyes met with Angel and Farina.

The black cat's dark green eyes flashed with cold light, and the pupils turned into a vertical line.

However, when the black cat saw the appearance of Angel and Farina clearly, the arched back slowly relaxed, as if recognizing their identities.

The black cat drooped its tail, muttered "Good luck", then turned around and jumped into the door, disappearing.

A gust of cold wind blew, leaving only the man lying in a pool of blood.

"Behind this door is the backstage of the contestants." Farina finally said what she had not finished before.

Angel pointed to the person on the ground: "So, this person and cat are both contestants in this competition?"

Farina stepped forward, and a line of warm water vapor covered the man's body. After a while, Farina said: "To be precise, only that cat is a contestant in the Rising Stars Competition. Although this person is not dead yet, he is not The injuries on the body will not recover in three to five months.”

Angel recalled the cat from before, which looked somewhat similar to Qili's Luna, but Luna was a female cat, and judging from the sound, this one seemed to be a male cat. Moreover, Luna is a monster, and the black cat just now is probably just the incarnation of some kind of bloodline.

But it can be transformed into such a perfect form, almost exactly like a cat, which shows that it has surpassed the half-animal state.

The bloodline incarnation transcends the semi-animal state and can control itself without being controlled by animal nature. It is enough to show that his compatibility and understanding of his own bloodline have reached a very high level.

Speaking of bloodline incarnation alone, he is probably the most suitable person Angel has seen among his apprentices.

When Angel was thinking this, Falina was also sighing: "That black cat is almost in a full animal state, which is rare among blood wizards. There are really so many new stars emerging in this competition that we have never seen before. A genius."

Angel also said smoothly: "The newbies nowadays are really more like monsters than the last one."

Falina looked at Angel with strange eyes and said that the new people are like monsters, and you are the newest person and the strongest monster.

It was her turn to say this, not Angel. Falina cursed in her heart.

"I've seen Xia Li's skills before, and they were pretty good. Has she advanced this time?" Angel asked.

"Charlie advanced, but I guess with her naughty character, this competition will definitely offend a lot of people." Falina pointed to the unconscious man on the ground: "I just hope she won't end up like this person."

The man on the ground was finally taken away by staff. Angel and Falina continued to go to the judging room. When leaving, Angel looked towards the backstage of the contestants with his mental strength.

It was very lively inside.

Although many players may not compete today, and the location of the competition may not necessarily be the Endless Arena, there are dozens of players at a glance, including the black cat Angel saw before.

After the black cat entered the contestants' backstage, it walked forward with elegant cat steps. Along the way, no one dared to get close, and everyone looked at it in fear. When the black cat walked to a sofa with a backrest, its figure slowly changed and turned into a handsome and indifferent young man. The only thing that remained unchanged was the pair of cat eyes. When he used the cat eyes to scan the players present, the players They all avoided his sight.

However, there were also several people who didn't pay attention to the black cat's eyes.

For example, there is a woman who is carrying a handbag with pink hearts painted on it, but her aura is so gloomy that she seems to be surrounded by dark energy.

Also, although there was a faint air of death all over his body, he looked like a vigorous young man in the morning sun.

A naked man with scars all over his body, practicing silently beside him.

A girl wearing a weird hat and smiling weirdly.

Wait... These people all ignored Black Cat's eyes, and Black Cat itself also showed great importance to these people. It can be seen that this group of people is probably at the same level as him, maybe even better players.

Although Angel said he planned to be a judge to cheat some points, he had no intention of messing around. He was also looking forward to this Rising Stars competition. Especially since my friends are participating in this Rising Stars Competition.

Angel withdrew his mental power, but did not notice that when his mental power was removed, a young man in the corner, holding a book and reading seriously, looked doubtfully at the direction in which the mental power left.

…

Falina sensed Angel's mental power: "You seem to be very curious about these players."

"After all, I have to watch at least 10 games, and I still hope to see exciting duels in these 10 games." Angel said.

"Speaking of excitement, it is true that some apprentices' competitions will be more interesting." Farina paused: "For example, today's preliminary competition."

Angel asked curiously: "Why is today's preliminary match so exciting?"

"Many people came to watch the preliminary round, which represents the appearance of this Rising Stars Competition."

Following Falina's explanation, Angel finally understood.

The so-called "preliminary match" was not actually the first match in the order of competition as he understood it. Rather, it was a duel that was deliberately chosen.

However, this "deliberateness", according to Falina, should not be a secret operation.

Because when the Rising Stars Competition ended yesterday, all the promoted players had already been drawn and matched. In other words, they actually already know the number of their opponent, but they have not yet made a specific game schedule.

Players currently only know the number of their opponents, but officials must already know the two players corresponding to all games.

Because the preliminary round is the face of the Rising Stars Competition, and it is definitely the most popular match besides the finals. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the preliminary round turned into a protracted battle in which one side gave in, was one-sided, or had no technical content?

Therefore, among the nearly two hundred games, the officials selected one of the most interesting games as the preliminary match for the Rising Stars Tournament rematch.

Since it was a deliberately selected matchup, relatively speaking, it would definitely not be too bad.

Thinking of this, Angel asked curiously: "In this preliminary match, who will be competing against whom?"
