After Bright Moon left the stage, Guhan put away the King of Yue's Goujian Sword and took out the Heavenly Sword again. Then, the host placed a new lottery box in front of Guhan. At that time, Guhan's bet had accumulated to 10000 Quark Sword Element Oral Solution. So, Guhan's opponent was an opponent between the top eight and top 16 of the Famed Sword-level players.
Guhan first pulled out a number. As soon as the host picked up the call, before he could finish his sentence, the person on the other end hung up. It was unclear whether it was because there was an emergency or because he already knew the host's intention.
After that, the host called six more people. This time, three of the six people were not online. Two of them said that they were in a dungeon and could not come out. The last person simply said that he was watching the competition. He did not think that he was a match for the Military Governor, so there was no need for him to compete with him.
As a result, Guhan was placed in a very awkward position. There were only eight players from the top eight to the top 16. Right now, there was only one player who had not made a call. If this player also rejected the Military Governor's challenge, then Military Governor would be in a situation that had never happened before in the history of the Eight Cities Sword Tournament. He could not find a player who could be a match for a Famed Sword-level sword-wielder.
As there was no precedent, the four Special Grade Planners began to have a heated discussion again. This time, the topic of discussion was how the officials should deal with the situation if the last player also rejected the challenge and they could not find a match for the Military Governor.
Should they judge the Military Governor as the winner or should they contact him from the top four to the top eight? All in all, this was a situation that the four Special Grade Planners felt very helpless. What was going on today? All kinds of troubles were coming one after another.
Fortunately, when the eighth player's call was connected, the person on the other end of the call did not say that he was not available or reject the call.
Instead, he made a request that the officials once again did not know how to deal with.
The player told the host that he did not want the battle to be carried out in a "duel". Instead, he wanted to carry out the battle in a "clean-up" way.
This caused the officials to fall into a passive position once again.
Generally speaking, the competition was conducted through a "duel" method. However, this wasn't fixed. In the semi-finals, there was a certain chance of a "clean-up battle".
The so-called Cleanup Battle was a battle in which players from both sides would not engage in direct combat. Instead, both sides would be thrown into the endless Yuan Kou army, and the time limit would be twenty minutes. The player who killed the most Yuan Kou within twenty minutes would be the victor of the match.
It could be seen from the format of the competition that this mode was mostly for entertainment purposes. It was just like the infinite firepower mode of LOL, which was usually not part of the official competition.
Therefore, in the Sword Among Eight Cities, this mode would only appear randomly in the semi-finals. If any player from both sides disagreed with this mode, the battle would still be carried out through the "duel" mode.
As for the finals and the Challenger League, it would be the standard battle style for the final battle. "Clean-Up Battles" would not appear.
However, now that the last player suggested using a clean-up battle to determine the winner, the game developers were once again placed in a difficult position.
If they agreed, then the rules of the competition would be trampled once again.
If they disagreed, then they would be in a situation where they had no opponent to send.
"Alright, let's start the match!"
Just as the competition entered a dilemma, Guhan took the initiative to speak to the other person on the communicator.
Alright, since the Military Governor had taken the initiative to agree, the officials would simply go with the flow and agree to this request.
After a minute, the teleportation door on the arena opened, and the second opponent of the Military Governor in the Challenger League finally revealed his identity!
It was a seemingly decent looking man with a faint smile on his face.
"This is" Where Fighting the Tiger ", an expert ranked tenth on the Famous Sword Leaderboard!"
Immediately, some players recognized the identity of this Famous Sword Level swordsman. This person was extremely famous among the Famous Sword Level players. The Famous Sword in his hand, the "Fiery Sword", was the flame that left a deep impression in many people's memories.
"It's him!
No wonder he wants to use a clean-up battle to determine the winner. No wonder. If it's a clean-up battle, not only would This Where Fighting the Tiger have the power to fight, but he might even be able to defeat the Military Governor! "
A player said excitedly. His friend sitting next to him immediately asked curiously, "What do you mean?
Why don't I understand? "
"This Where Fighting the Tiger … Alright, it's hard to explain in a short time. You'll understand when you see it!"
…
"Gentlemen, the clean-up battle mode is about to begin. Please take turns to choose the main settings for the clean-up battle," the host said to the Military Governor and Where Fighting the Tiger at the same time.
Choosing settings was a special opening step of the clean-up battle. As there were many factors that determined the winner of the clean-up battle, the game developers listed out the four most important factors and allowed both players to choose two of them in order to ensure fairness.
"Then, let's start with the environment selection. So, which of you two should choose first?"
Less than a second after the host finished his question, Where Fighting the Tiger rushed to say, "Let Mr. Military Governor choose first. I've already shamelessly asked to enter the clean-up battle. He should be the one to choose first!"
In response, Guhan nodded indifferently and took the lead to choose first.
There were not many options given to Guhan, only eight. They were: Ocean, Desert, Green Land, City, Ruins, Jungle, Mountain, Sky.
Guhan did not think too much and immediately chose the Green Land option.
This was the favorite place of powerful players because the Green Land had a wide field of vision and there were no obstructions. They could kill their opponents without any obstacles.
On the contrary, weaker players preferred environments like City, Ruins, or Jungle. This was because it was good for hiding and could launch sneak attacks when least expected.
After Guhan made his choice, it was time to choose Where Fighting the Tiger. Where Fighting the Tiger faced the choice of weather. There were eight options: Sunny, Cloudy, Heavy Rain, Heavy Snow, Scorching Sun, Extreme Cold, Moonlit Night, and Dark Night.
After thinking about where to fight the Tiger for a while, he finally chose the Scorching Sun weather!
The Scorching Sun weather sounded similar to a sunny day, but it was not.
The temperature on a sunny day was around 25 degrees, which was the most suitable temperature for battle. However, under the Scorching Sun, the temperature was around 70 degrees. Ordinary people would instantly dehydrate and be burnt to a crisp under such a temperature.
Even a swordsman would feel uncomfortable in such a situation, and their combat power would naturally decrease a lot.
The choice was once again in Guhan's hands. This time, Guhan chose the level and density to challenge Yuan Kou. There were eight options: Ghost Level (Low), Ghost Level (High), Soul Level (Low), Soul Level (High), Dragon Level (Low), Dragon Level (Low), Dragon Level (High), Dragon Level (Low), Dragon Level (High).
Guhan directly chose the Dragon Level (High) option. This meant that Guhan's opponent would be a high-density Dragon Level (Yuan Kou) Yuan Kou.
Finally, it was time to choose where to fight the Tiger. The last main setting was Yuan Kou.
The system gave eight different Dragon Level (Yuan Kou). This time, Guhan chose the Snow Lady (High) Dragon Level (Yuan Kou) without hesitation.
"Two players, the Battle Space is being generated. You have one minute to prepare. After one minute, you will enter the Battle Space. The player with the highest killing speed within 20 minutes will be the winner!" The host said excitedly.
Hmm, according to the usual practice, we have to look at the various reactions of the players on the forum.
"I'm so excited!
The Military Governor is invincible in one-on-one battles. I wonder how his skills are! "This was the comment of the ordinary players.
"The Military Governor has a high chance of winning!
Snow Lady is born with thin skin. Her defense is even weaker than the Tiger Level (Yuan Kou) sometimes. The Military Governor can kill his opponents one by one in a second! "This was the comment of a blindly optimistic player.
"No, the Military Governor is in danger this time. The Military Governor has been tricked this time!"
This was the comment of a high-end player. He continued, "One Snow Lady is trash, but a group of Snow Ladies is a god!
The Snow Lady's attack comes with a deceleration and freezing effect. Even if the Military Governor's speed is faster than a jet plane, he will still be restricted by the disgusting freezing effect.
Think about it. Thousands of Snow Ladies attacking the Military Governor at the same time. Even if the probability of triggering is only 1%, the Military Governor will still be frozen on the spot. He might not even be able to kill a single Snow Lady! "
"Isn't it the same no matter where we fight the Tiger? Won't he be frozen as well?" a puzzled player asked.
"That's the key to tricking the Military Governor!"
This high-end player replied bitterly. "The Fiery Sword comes with a super BUFF of Freeze Immunity!"
…
Indeed, the Fiery Sword came with a Freeze Immunity buff. One could tell from its name that the Fiery Sword was a Sword Lady with the fire attribute.
Among the Sword Ladies of the Famed Sword Rank, the number of Sword Ladies with the fire attribute was the highest.
This was because the fire element was usually the main attack element. At the Famed Sword level, attack was more important and practical than any other level. There was a saying among the Famed Sword level swordsman: attack is the king!
Among all the Sword Ladies of the Famed Sword Rank, the Fiery Sword was second only to the Phoenix Fire Sword. It was ranked twelfth in the "Famed Sword Record".
The Fiery Sword's body was burning with the legendary Fiery Fire.
To put it simply, Fiery Fire was the flame of the sun. It was the flame at the outermost layer of the sun. It was the flame that moved away from the sun, so it was called Fiery Fire.
In contrast, the flame at the center of the sun was the legendary True Samadhi Fire.
Although Li Fire was one of the immortal fires, it was actually not of a high grade. It was only slightly stronger than ordinary fire. If it was really compared to the True Samadhi Fire, it would be like the difference between a second kick and an atomic bomb.
However, Fiery Fire was still a flame that came from the sun. Therefore, Fiery Fire had a special characteristic that only the sun had: it was hot, firm, and immune to ice.
