Chapter 910: The Great Reshuffle
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
Logically speaking, there should not be any difficulty in choosing between those 3. The matter was direct and simple.
Making a choice between dark gold / silver storyline / dark blue equipments, was like going to a brothel and of the three girls to choose from, one looked like Zhang Ziyi, another looked like Liu Xiaoqing, and the other looked like Lady Pomegranate. It was a matter that could be decided without even using the brain.

The reason Sheyan was hesitating was because he was responsible for the whole party as a party leader. If he chose the 'Entanglement of Victory', then it was almost certain that the whole party would have a very difficult time in the Harry Potter world in the future. There were a lot of profits to be gained in the Harry Potter world!
Even disregarding the various mystery around the birthplace of Jinkuang, the title which awarded +3 to all attributes was enough to make one's mouth water. Once the ring became his, there would be lots of problems in the Harry Potter world.
Was a dark gold ring enough to give up on so much interests?
More importantly, the holder must always be on alert to guard against the assassination attempts that would randomly occur. Since Dumbledore's elemental creatures dare to make the assassination attempts, they must be confident of having enough strength to kill the ring holder! Hakeem had really strong Perceptive Sense, and her party should also be really strong, so they were not afraid of the assassinations, but Sheyan was!
Imagine if he was fighting to the death with an enemy - like the fight in the breakthrough trial - and Dumbledore's elemental assassins suddenly appeared! Sheyan would burst out in tears!
Sheyan hesitated for a long time, but still chose the dark gold ring in the end. He felt that although this object was cursed, its properties were really good, especially the 'Mind Transmission'. It was an ability useful in chasing, escaping, and plundering. Even if they don't use it themselves, it still had the highest trade value among the three. There would always be someone who was willing to buy it!
After taking the dark gold ring, the dark gold necklace on Sheyan's neck, Smith Matrix Microchip, actually started to glow, then aimed towards the corpse of Hakeem that was floating on the sea!
"No way, that's the soul of a contestant...." exclaimed Sheyan in surprise.
Under the forced absorption of the dark gold necklace, a girl with a vivid resemblance to Hakeem slowly emerged from Hakeem's corpse with tears in her eyes. She then turned into a little lights that were inhaled by the necklace! The necklace only needed the last soul. Its final attributes were about to be unsealed!
After a bit of hesitation, Sheyan fiercely plunged into the water and swam towards the shore. The sea was indeed the home court of Sheyan, but that was only in the case where the opponents were also in the sea. The Blood Sensing was coming soon; if Sheyan was still in the sea by then and a sniper appeared on the shore, Sheyan would become the perfect target.
The Statue of Liberty was currently noisy and crowded. Several police cars had arrived at the scene and a lot of reporters were taking pictures. The main reason was that Hakeem's power was too strong. She even broke the torch of the Statue of Liberty which fell into the sea and stirred up huge waves. This kind of incident was naturally going to cause a sensation. If a part of the Great Wall of China was blown up, it would definitely attract a lot of attention too.
Sheyan was still carrying the crime of killing a Man in Black so he certainly did not dare to go near. He quietly swam under the water to the shore, chose an open area which was easy to escape from, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Blood Sensing.
The Blood Sensing once again had a different feel. This time, it felt like an invisible giant brush dipped full of blood, swiping over the entire city! Sheyan's vision instantly turned a bloody red, and the map of New York City once again appeared in front of him. The first thing he did was to look for his own coordinate, which did not take him long at all.
That's because the red dot representing Sheyan stood out among the other red dots like a firefly in a dark summer night! Not only was his red dot larger than the others by half, it was also marked with the number II to show that he already held two Bloody Invitation Letters!
What shocked Sheyan was that there was a big red dot not far from his position! The red dot was also marked with the number II ! The actual distance between them should be about five kilometers.
And next to this big red dot, there was a little red dot. The distance between the two was quite close.....they should already be in battle!
A glint appeared in Sheyan's eyes. It only took him a moment to guess that the big red dot should be Aziz! That guy had a lot of pride. He had probably been trailing Sheyan all this time in order to find a chance to rescue Sheyan to pay back the favour, then personally kill Sheyan.
But maybe Sheyan's battle with Hakeem was too intense and it attracted the attention of other participants. This particular participant may be someone who looking to take advantage but was stopped by Aziz, or maybe he changed his target to Aziz instead! Anyway, the two were now in a fierce battle.
In addition to Sheyan and Aziz, one other person had obtained an additional Bloody Invitation Letter. Including the guy who was killed by an alien, out of the 12 participants, 4 had died.
As soon as the Blood Sensing started, a change visibly occured in the situation on Aziz's side. Their battle began to move rapidly away from Sheyan's direction. The other participant must had felt that something was wrong and had tried to escape quickly.
However, fleeing in front of Aziz was equivalent to exposing his back to him. The participant would probably pay a very heavy price!
"Wow, look at that speed...." Sheyan took one look at the speed with which the guy fled and knew that he must have used a high-speed vehicle. Otherwise, there was no way a contestant could instantaneously reach that kind of speed and maintain it for over a minute based on the strength level of the contestants at this stage.
Seemed like the guy came prepared. He soon escaped the pursuit of Aziz.
Aziz did not seem to have any intention to meet with Sheyan. After losing the enemy, he quickly left. At this time, taking advantage of the Blood Sensing, two red dots in the distant Brooklyn area rapidly approached each other. They seemed to have broke out in an intense battle. In merely twenty-one seconds, a red dot disappeared and the other red dot was promoted to level II.
It was apparent that both of them belonged to the type that had high burst damage but low HP. Considering the use of an honourary dosage, one of them had their life emptied from a full state in just 10 seconds. The attack power was no joke.
Sheyan quietly stayed at the shore. He was at a flexible location where it was convenient to either attack or retreat. It was the best choice for him. At that moment, two dots who had not yet obtained a Bloody Invitation Letter approached him at a high speed from the left and right!! Obviously, the two sides had reached an agreement, and they were quickly approaching on vehicles.
Sheyan's pupils shrank despite himself. Although he had just made a great leap in power, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could 1v2.
Everyone who was qualified to be a participant here was a force to be reckoned with! Therefore, Sheyan immediately got ready to board a boat. With his insanely strong 'Pirate Captain' title, he had no problem protecting himself on the sea. If a fool decided to chase after him, Sheyan would be very happy to show the guy his might on the sea.
However, when the two participants approached within 10 kilometers of Sheyan, the red dot of Aziz, who had clearly left earlier, returned and tailed them from a distance.
Aziz's tailing definitely made them very uncomfortable. He was on the opposite side of Sheyan, thus placing the two of them in the middle. Just like in chess, when the white castle lay in wait for the black bishop, it turned the whole situation of the black side into a deadlock.
If the two men continued to attack Sheyan, they had to risk Aziz's shots.
If they turned to Aziz, Sheyan could close down on them from behind. They would be equally uncomfortable!
The four of them were locked in a stalemate for quite a while. The rest of the participants obviously did not intend to come stir things up, so the two participants could only helplessly retreat while keeping their vigilance.
After the two men retreated, Aziz actually moved towards Sheyan. However, Sheyan did not care too much. If Aziz wanted to flip the table on Sheyan, he would have done so earlier. Why wait until now?
More importantly, Sheyan was strong now! His HP was high, his speed was not low and he had a rapid movement skill, he had instantaneous burst and he had control skills with his diseases. He would be a bad matchup for people like Aziz who needed some distance to display maximum power! He was not afraid of Aziz!
On the contrary, high-level summoners like Yuan Zhan were starting to become bad matchups for Sheyan. Sheyan lacked long-range attacks, so he was in danger of falling into a sea of summoned beasts with no way to get out!
Aziz slowly walked over from the other side of the road. His cheekbones were a little high and his chin and cheeks were covered in stubble. His body carried the pungent smell of tobacco. His eyes were like fierce bullets that could penetrate into one's heart.
