The surroundings were silent. This middle-aged man's expression was fierce, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, wild and murderous intent. This was a guy who desired to ascend to the throne of champion, but his first match was against the powerful Snow Moon Army. His luck was just too bad.
The middle-aged man stepped onto the stage and said condescendingly, "Let me experience the power of Heaven Domain!"
I smiled slightly. "As you wish!"
My domain exploded, and my eyes were instantly covered in a layer of blood. The halo of the War God's Temple spun under my feet, and a pair of blood-red wings flew out of my back. Even the Darknorth Sword in my hand was wrapped in a layer of bloody energy. Red and blue light mixed together, and it was extremely cold and murderous.
"Hua!"
I rushed onto the stage like an arrow, faster than Bing Cha.
"Ugh..."
The middle-aged man saw this and couldn't help but reveal a trace of shock. He gulped.
I revealed a faint smile. "Please enlighten me!"
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
Battle begin!
In the blink of an eye, I had already rushed out. My North Dark Sword drew a perfect arc in the air, and directly slashed at the opponent's shoulder. I used all my strength, concentrated my strongest domain power, and exploded with the power of Dragon God Slash!
A tiger pounces on a rabbit with all its strength. In such an important match, I would not hold back at all!
"Bang!"
The energy whirlpool exploded, and a huge damage number flew up — 4189874!
Heh, a critical hit!
Whoosh!
Rays of light flew up. No one would have thought that this incomparably strong warrior couldn't even withstand a single strike from me!
Outside the stage, Spring And Autumn Dance laughed loudly. "Bull 13!
Like I said, Shusheng would definitely be able to kill him with a single strike. Come, come, come. Both of you have lost. Give me 500,000 gold coins!
Melancholy and the Shadow Follower took out their money with painful expressions. Damn, these people are gambling here!
There was no suspense in the second round either. The combination of the Darknorth Sword + Temple Cyclone + Archean Divine Armament set was just too strong. Even though I was 25 levels lower than him, I could still crush him without a hitch!
3: 0. The overall score was out. Snow Moon had advanced to the top 32. However, because it was the opening match, both the organizer and the opponent intended to play all five matches.
Thus, Ling Yue went up for the fourth match.
Ling Yue was helpless. She was the only one who was not in the Heaven Domain and could not fly up, so she could only flash up.
His opponent was a Level 271 Berserker wielding a battle axe. The Berserker was equipped with S5 godly equipment.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of a Level 275 Sacred Great Magus like Ling Yue, this was nothing. With the Spirit Grief Staff and four pieces of the Spirit of Grief set, Ling Yue was still a first-rate Mage in the world right now. With a wave of her staff, the Ice Whirlpool she cast toyed with her opponent like a toy in the palm of her hand. The intense Ice Storm she cast was even more powerful, killing her opponent twice in a row.
The overall score was 2: 0. The strange thing was that the berserker could not touch Ling Yue at all. His mechanics were above average, but he could not do anything to Ling Yue at all. Ling Yue and Ling Xue were twins. Their intelligence was about the same, and their understanding of mage PvP had long since reached the peak.
The overall score was 4: 0. Snow Moon was about to sweep the opponent.
In the final match, Ling Xue and I went up the stage together and defeated our opponent in two rounds. The blue and bloody cyclones howled and turned the stage into a nightmare for our opponents. I guessed that this would leave a shadow in their hearts when they returned to Holland. It was even more likely that they would give up on the game.
Sigh, if that was the case, we would have sinned greatly.
The opening match was spectacular. The score was 10: 0, and the overall score was 5: 0. It announced to the world that the era of the virtual economy had arrived in China!
I walked out of the stage and stuffed my helmet into my bag. I clapped my hands and said with a smile, "Done, it's over!"
Ling Xue asked, "What should we do next?
Continue watching other matches, or go out for a walk? "
"Up to you. If you want to go out for a walk, I'll go with you."
"Mn, then let's go out for a walk. We'll eat out for lunch. I heard that Korean food is pretty good ~"
"Okay!"
Bing Cha, Qin Yun, Ling Yue and the other girls continued to watch the matches. Ling Xue and I changed our clothes and snuck out from the back of the stage.
It was already late autumn when we arrived outside. Seoul, no, Seoul was still full of snow-white thighs. It was said that there were a lot of girls in Seoul who had undergone plastic surgery, but it wasn't a bad idea to look good and beautify the city.
The air outside was a lot fresher and less noisy than before.
I held Ling Xue's hand and walked around. There were seumida everywhere. It was my first time coming to Korea, so I was a bit nervous. Ling Xue was a lot more relaxed and natural. Sometimes, one couldn't help but admit that temperament was related to wealth, status and cultivation. When one reached Ling Xue's level, she wouldn't be as nervous as I was when I was in the foreign lands.
At noon, we looked for food stalls everywhere. In the end, we found a small restaurant and ate mixed rice, barbecued meat, kimchi and so on. In short, we couldn't eat more than a few meals, so it was fine to eat all the special Korean food in one go.
The table was filled with plates and cups of all sizes, but there was only one Xiaoqing vegetable on each plate. It was so embarrassing. Ling Xue told me with a smile, "This country is small and has a lot of people. Resources are scarce, so a meal like this is already a sumptuous one for them."
I nodded repeatedly. If this table of food was brought to a Chinese restaurant, the customers would thank the heavens if they didn't curse. Moreover, it was so expensive. Compared to the food in Sweet Spring Dream, it was a thousand miles inferior!
It was almost 1 pm by the time we finished eating. I held Ling Xue's hand and hurried back to the WSL offline tournament stadium.
… …
"OMG, where did you two go for a rendezvous at noon?" Qin Yun came up to us and said with a sour smile.
Ling Xue giggled. "I got to experience Korean food. Do you want to go again tonight?"
"Okay, okay!"
Ling Yue also walked over and said, "The Top 32 will advance to the Top 16 this afternoon. Let's go and prepare. Snow Moon will be the second team to fight."
"Their opponents have come out?"
"Yes, the host team, Full Moon Dance and Phoenix!"
"Hehe!"
I smiled, and the girls smiled knowingly as well. The Full Moon Dance was destined to be a tragedy.
Looking at the big screen, there were a total of three Korean teams in the top 64. One team had been eliminated in the morning, so now there were only two teams left. Full Moon Dance Team would most likely be defeated in the second round of the competition. For the host country, this was indeed a very embarrassing thing.
I took the luggage bag from Qin Yun and saw that it was full of the girls' helmets. This was not good, and I didn't like the feeling of being full.
I entered the contestant area and was greeted by Seven-star Lamp, Dragon Soul, and Bing Zhiyi. The four China teams were clearly very strong, and all of them had successfully entered the Top 32.
The first match of the afternoon was between Japan's Wind Demon Altar and France's Heart of the Sea.
Compared to Snow Moon's invincible sweep, this match was much more intense, especially the first match, the first-rate Archer Snow Cherry VS Ocean's Heart. The two women fought fiercely, throwing out all kinds of skills, S movement, Z movement, and so on. It was a dazzling sight to behold. They fought for a full four minutes and drank a lot of health potions, but in the end, Ocean's Heart won by a small margin.
However, the next few matches weren't so optimistic. Although Heart of the Sea's players were all Holy Domain players, they ran into a troublesome opponent like Wind Demon Altar. Be it Japan's number one warrior, Mountain Eagle, or the super mage, Wind Spirit, they all had excellent mechanics and equipment. In the end, they won three 1v1s in a row and defeated Heart of the Sea's team with a score of 3: 2.
The blonde Heart of the Sea was very angry and left the stage in a huff. She said something to Bing Cha that I didn't understand. It seemed like Miscellaneous Eater was complaining that Bing Cha took away Brave Heart and caused the French team to be short of talent.
Bing Cha could only smile apologetically. He couldn't help it. Brave Heart should have had no problem entering the WSL offline tournament, but the China server was full of talent, and Brave Heart had accidentally failed. He could only wait for the next year to start all over again.
The second match was Snow Moon's turn. Our opponent was the host team, the daughter of a Korean electronics giant, Phoenix. Our ace player, Full Moon Dance, was leading the team.
Both team leaders went up the stage. Full Moon Dance was wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses. He looked very cool and handsome. He snorted coldly at me, clearly still holding a grudge against me for what happened at Xuanyu City.
I smiled faintly and quickly entered the team ID. This time, Ling Yue wasn't going up, so it was Chrysanthemum Daohana. It was good practice. Chrysanthemum Daohana's equipment, skills, and level were all top-notch. She needed real combat experience. The more she fought, the better she would become.
Phoenix looked up from below the stage with indignation in her eyes. Ling Xue was standing next to Phoenix. Even if Phoenix was the daughter of LG's boss, there was nothing she could do. Forget the fact that she hadn't gotten plastic surgery, even if she did, there was no way she could compare to a natural beauty like Ling Xue.
It wasn't long before the matchups appeared on the big screen. The Korean commentator was very excited and spat as he introduced the match.
Actually, I don't think so. The real focus is on Xue Yue versus Barbaric Throne, or Xue Yue versus Wind Demon Altar. As for Full Moon Dance, in some sense, they're already second-rate.
Applause broke out. Countless players looked at the big screen with hopeful expressions —
1v1: Bing Cha LV-275 VS Full Moon Dance LV-275
1v1: Windy Snow LV-277 VS Phoenix LV-275
1v1: Frivolous Scholar LV-250 VS Candlelight Shadow LV-275
1v1: Faint Chrysanthemum Daohana LV-274 VS Sky Scar of Heaven LV-275
2v2: Frivolous Scholar LV-250 & Windy Snow LV-277 VS Full Moon Dance LV-275 & Bamboo Shadow LV-275
… …
The first match was Bing Cha VS Full Moon Dance. The number one lightning warrior of China versus the number one esports player of Korea. This was going to be a battle of the pinnacle, right?
"Bing Cha should have no problem taking down Full Moon Dance!" Ling Xue said confidently.
I nodded. "Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem for you to take down Phoenix either. However … the person I'm going up against seems to be a newbie. I've never seen him before …"
Ling Xue looked into the distance and smiled. "He's wearing an S5, and his sword should be an Earth-grade weapon. It's just that his level is a bit higher than yours. Unless his mechanics and awareness are at the peak, he won't be a match for you."
"Mn!"
I nodded strongly and looked at my opponent. The swordsman called "Candlelight Shadow" was also looking at me. His eyes were emotionless and unfathomable.
