[Xu Lang: Did any Taleblade Building players use a reconnaissance skill on Mad King players?]

[Su Yuan: Yes, all five buildings have been probing each other’s dorm information]

Of course they were using them.

What duelists? The other side openly handed them intel on a silver platter. If the dorm leaders didn’t send a couple of reconnaissance experts up there, that would be dereliction of duty.

Mad King Building was no different.

Since the Iron Blood Colosseum reforms, duels had become much more frequent, and information exchange between dorm buildings naturally increased.

[Xu Lang: Do they already know about the Savior Sequence and the Old God Sequence?]

[Su Yuan: They should know!]

Xu Lang let out a silent chill.

This was a bit of a problem.

He had expected this day would come sooner or later, but he still felt a touch helpless.

[Su Yuan: Lang Ge, you don’t need to worry too much. Vast Sky Building and the others are not in the Titan Ruins, so they probably won’t come. Taleblade Building is dealing with the blood calamity now, so they won’t come for the time being. Also, we obtained some important intel from the other side, we just haven’t compiled it for you and Sister Yaxuan yet]

[Xu Lang: From now on, report major information in the work group in real time, verify authenticity later]

[Su Yuan: Yes!]

After that, Su Yuan sent the reconnaissance findings to Xu Lang and also posted a copy in the small work group for Cao Yaxuan and the others to view.

Among the five dorm buildings at the Iron Blood Colosseum, only Taleblade Building and Mad King Building were in the Titan Ruins; the other three buildings were located in different areas.

Of them, Vast Sky Building was still the strongest.

They didn’t fight internally, only challenged externally. They had fought thirteen times and won every time. One player named "Chu Tianhe" had a ten-win streak, his combat power off the charts, specialized in dealing with reckless opponents.

Currently the dorm with the highest overall combat power was Finality Building. This was a dorm of twenty-tier rank; because of its lower tier and larger population, it had more frequent matchups.

Next was Mad King Building. Mad King players tended to be reckless and spendthrift; as long as provoked, low-SAN-value players would step up and fight, making them the main force for matches.

After that came Vast Sky Building, whose ten-win champion alone outstripped the combined combat power of dozens from other buildings.

Fourth was Sacrifice Building, which seemed rather ordinary.

Taleblade was at the bottom, which made sense. Taleblade players placed great emphasis on intelligence secrecy; although their win rate was high, they seldom stepped into the arena.

[Su Yuan: Lang Ge, will you come to the Colosseum? Everyone’s waiting for you, and the Colosseum shop’s material quality has improved a lot. With your strength, you can definitely surpass Chu Tianhe and exchange for those top-tier unique materials!]

[Xu Lang: No. Don’t let others get too addicted to the Colosseum. Focus on pioneering]

[Su Yuan: Got it!]

The Colosseum shop was now inside the arena; to see what it offered, you had to go check it yourself.

Xu Lang wasn’t even interested in looking. After asking Su Yuan to send a materials list, he closed the chat window.

"Nightmare Coins are about to break a million!"

That had been on Xu Lang’s mind nonstop; how could he be in the mood to go play?

Actually, it would be quite necessary for him to visit the Colosseum.

After all, others’ reconnaissance skills were only average, while the Nightmare Eye could almost reveal every secret.

[Xu Lang: I have important intel on Vast Sky Building, Taleblade Building, and Sacrifice Building. Compile it and publish it tomorrow]

[Su Yuan: Okay!]

Inside the Colosseum, Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

Moreover, intel personally provided by Xu Lang was bound to be extraordinary in value!

He had a premonition that in the future perhaps all dorm buildings would reveal their hands; everyone's underwear would be pulled off as information exchange grew more frequent.

…

Under a blood-hued sky.

A platinum-colored dorm building stood tall, its safe zone radiating widely, as if it had already expanded into every stronghold.

"Yiyun, are you really going to the Titan Ruins?" In a conference hall, an ethereal, elder-looking man looked toward a sword-bearing woman with concern.

Besides those two, six other players were in the hall, all unusually dressed and extremely charismatic.

"Yes." The sword-bearing woman named Yiyun nodded. She had an oval face, porcelain-white skin, and a small delicate chin. "An S-rank Sequence and an A-1 Sequence appeared in the same dorm building, and that dorm hasn’t even properly matured yet... If we don’t stop it now, in the future Mad King Building players will definitely become a dominant overlord, which would be bad for us!"

Xu Lang’s current outlook was to fold the entire Mad King Building into his sphere of influence.

Vast Sky Building’s players aimed to fold the entire Dorm Survival Game into theirs.

The room fell silent at her words.

Actually, they could report this matter to higher-tier super dorms.

But no one was willing to do that.

Everyone understood that Mad King Building was indeed an emergent overlord and also a massive pile of resources.

If they could invade and occupy it, Vast Sky Building’s gains would be unimaginably large.

"But the Titan Ruins is about to have a blood calamity." A man with swordlike brows and starry eyes spoke.

"I heard that report too, and it’s probably true." Another man in a purple snake-patterned robe agreed.

Yiyun’s brows knitted slightly. "I already exchanged for a 'Vast Sky Shuttle' ticket. If things go wrong, I'll return on the 'Vast Sky Shuttle.'"

"The risk is too great. After all, it’s a blood calamity. If the Vast Sky Shuttle fails, you might suffer misfortune," the sword-browed man tapped the table and said. "Besides, the Titan Ruins is too far from us. We only roughly located Mad King Building. I advise you not to rush."

The man in the purple robe nodded repeatedly. "I agree with Yuan Shan’s opinion. Even if you go, wait until after the blood calamity; I’ll go with you then."

"Alright." Yiyun suppressed her inner agitation and exhaled softly.

…

Similar discussions took place in Taleblade Building, Sacrifice Building, and Finality Building.

An S-rank Sequence and an A-rank Sequence together were like two mountains of gold and silver!

However, not every dorm had teleportation platforms like the Astral Foundation. To traverse the Blood Mist, everyone would have to pay a huge price.

That high-level players could survive in the Blood Mist World did not guarantee complete safety; the farther the distance, the greater the risk.

A sapper crossing a minefield could be blown to pieces regardless of experience.

Finality Building’s higher-ups were still embroiled in internal strife, with no unified plan and no capital to traverse an entire region to find Mad King Building.

Sacrifice Building’s leaders had ideas, but considering the blood calamity, they likewise held off action for the time being.

Taleblade Building and Mad King Building shared the Titan Ruins and had been constantly listening for Mad King’s location; the coordinates were essentially locked.

Sharing a "map" with Mad King Building, Taleblade had already begun to feel the pressure.

Previously they naively thought Mad King Building only had Xu Lang who was strong and that all resources were sucked up by Xu Lang, which explained his power.

But now, with Mad King players showing up in the Colosseum, they had changed their view.

All Mad King Building players were very strong, and their development speed was astonishingly fast!

They had to eliminate Mad King Building, or else when building wars started, there would be nowhere to cry.

Anyone who has played auto battlers knows the importance of limiting the enemy’s card pool.

Besides, Xu Lang had a god-tier weapon that could slay Taleblade!

In fact, they had already readied expedition plans, but the sudden blood calamity warning disrupted everything.

For Mad King Building players, the blood calamity might turn out to be a blessing rather than a curse.
