"Boom! Bang!"

In the preliminaries of the Great Martial Arts Tournament, level 55 ranger Sirines perched atop a tree with dense foliage, observing the battles unfolding below.

The Herba Forest in the Betarion Empire, the site of the preliminaries, was vast and lush. However, with thousands of players crowding the area, it was close to bursting at the seams. No matter how many places there were to hide in the forest, the sheer number of participants meant avoiding combat would be nearly impossible.

Sirines quickly assessed the tournament's structure, the number of participants, and the layout of the battlefield, determining how best to secure a spot in the finals.

“There’s no need to waste unnecessary effort.”

Sitting comfortably on a thick branch and leaning against the trunk, he began checking his item setup.

As a hardcore PvP player, Sirines had unfortunately fallen victim to the storm sweeping through the arena rankings this season.

Ranked 20th in the arena this season, Sirines failed to secure a direct ticket to the finals, granted only to the top 16. However, the preliminaries still offered a chance to make it, prompting him to invest heavily in preparation.

Touching the legendary-grade earrings dropped by the first boss of the Sanctuary of the Azure King dungeon, which he had recently farmed, he frowned slightly.

“Tsk, they cost me a fortune.”@@novelbin@@

Most PvP players farm two sets of accessories—one for PvE and one for PvP. Each set is enhanced separately for its specific purpose. The official raid group for the Sanctuary of the Azure King, which Sirines was part of, was still trying to beat the second boss. By usual standards, the first accessory he obtained should have been enhanced with magical stones for PvE use.
