The next day at noon, I woke up. I slept for a full ten hours, and my head was swollen.
It was noon outside the window, and the sun shone on the earth. The gloomy weather had passed.
At the lunch table.
Ling Yue said, "In an hour, the WSL will start selecting groups. Everyone, work hard.
Now, let's talk about our lineup. After discussing it, we will use this lineup for the qualifiers.
We need to choose a total of six people. The rules of the WSL is that the first four matches will be 1v1, and the fifth match will be 2v2. So, we need to choose four people for the singles, and two people for the doubles. That way, we will have a higher chance of winning. "
"Singles …" Bing Cha thought for a moment and said, "Since we can't afford to lose, I suggest that all four singles matches be played by players with high defense, high HP, and high attack. That way, we will have a higher chance of winning."
"Yes, I think so too."
Ling Yue nodded and said, "Therefore, I suggest four 1v1 matches. The first match will be fought by Shusheng, the second match will be fought by Iced Tea, the third match will be fought by Ling Xue, and the fourth match will be fought by me!
Everyone, feel free to speak your mind, no need to be polite … "
Qin Yun said, "This lineup is more reasonable. Only the 2v2 combination needs to be discussed."
Ling Yue smiled. "Yes, Sister Qin Yun, what do you think about the 2v2?"
"It depends on what style you want to use. The jack-of-all-trades combination is one warrior and one priest. The violent style is two battles, or one warrior and one priest."
Ling Yue gritted her teeth and said, "How about this, to ensure our chances of winning, let Bing Cha and Scholar fight the 2v2. I believe these two guys won't disappoint us."
Iced Tea chuckled, raised his chopsticks, and said, "We will definitely do our best."
"Good!
Then it's a deal! "
…
Online at 1 pm, the WSL qualifiers will start in half an hour.
When we registered for the battle team, Ling Yue was the team leader, so the work of arranging the formation was done by her. We only needed to check and we would know the details of the formation.
Walking around White Cloud City, I went to repair my equipment and replenish my potions. I didn't summon my Flame Warhorse though. Summoning mounts and pets was prohibited in the tournament. Of course, summoners were an exception.
Ding ~!
System Notification: Welcome to the WSL League Qualifiers. Would you like to leave this map and enter the special competition venue randomly selected by the system?
…
Confirm!
Whoosh! I was teleported into another space. To my surprise, it was a map filled with green mountains and clear waters. It was roughly 200 meters in diameter. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. There was a small river in the middle of the map, and both sides of the river were filled with shrubs. It was suitable for PvP between Archers and Assassins because these two classes had better survivability in forests.
He looked at the name on the map, Green Valley.
This was the first map we were going to use, and it was also the location of my first match.
Options appeared on the interface, and one of them was to leave the map. After choosing it, I returned to a waiting area. It was a spectatory-style space. Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and the other girls were all there. In front of me was a large viewing interface with a map of Green Valley. It seemed like the rest of the team was watching the match like this.
Bing Cha gripped his Daybreak Spear and chuckled. "It's almost time. I'm so nervous …"
Ling Yue laughed softly. "Me too."
Ling Xue glanced at the screen and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Most of our opponents are noobs. Just treat it as training."
"Yes, training!"
Qin Yun, Summer, and the other girls sat on the cold bench, but they were still excitedly observing from the side.
Soon, our first match appeared on the big screen. Our opponent's team was called "Outman", which meant Ultraman. They look strong!
The matchups were out —
1v1: Frivolous Scholar LV-198 VS — Bloody World LV-175
1v1: Bing Cha LV-203 VS — Beauty in Autumn Water LV-171
1v1: Windy Snow LV-194 VS — Lonely God LV-165
1v1: Windy Moon LV-194 VS — Lacrimal Gland LV-178
2v2: Frivolous Scholar LV-198 & Bing Cha LV-203 VS — Bloody World LV-175 & Beauty in Autumn Water LV-171
… …
Damn, as expected of an expert team. Their average level wasn't low!
However, the tragedy was that the first group of people they encountered was the main force of the Xue Yue Country. They were doomed to never return.
Moreover, this matchup didn't even have any class information. In fact, it only had one level, so there wasn't much to see.
Ling Yue said excitedly, "It's about to start. Do your best everyone!
1v1 is best of three. Winning two in a row counts as one point! "
Bing Cha's shoulders were trembling. He was too excited.
I raised my sword and said, "Then I'll go first. The time limit is 5 minutes. Finish off your opponent in one minute!"
"Haha, keep bragging …" The girls laughed softly.
Whoosh!
White light flashed, and I returned to the green valley map. In the distance, another figure appeared. It was a berserker with a blood-red ID, Bloody World!
Summoning mounts and pets was forbidden in the tournament. Ultimate skills that had a cooldown of more than 10 minutes could not be used. Therefore, it was purely a contest of small skills, mechanics, and positioning. It was worth mentioning that due to the restrictions of the map, players had to take advantage of the terrain to their advantage.
Bloody Fighting Jianghu glared at me fiercely. Our landing point was separated by a small river that was about five meters wide. If we swam over, we would probably be attacked by the enemy's advantage in the water.
Whoosh …
With a soft sound, I entered Shadowmeld and quickly disappeared into the air.
Bloody World almost coughed up blood. "Fuck!"
The water rippled, and I dove into the water. I held my breath as I swam underwater. Bloody World could only see where I was underwater, but he couldn't see where I was underwater. However, he didn't dare to retreat into the forest. If he was ambushed on land without warning, he wouldn't have a chance at all.
Therefore, Bloody World held his battle axe and guarded the edge of the water, his eyes watching every movement under the water.
However, he had neglected a Warrior's skill – Charge!
After I activated [Wild Charge], my whole body was like a dragon emerging from the sea. I arrived in front of Bloody Battle Jiang Chen with unstoppable momentum. My sword flashed!
Kacha!
Bloody World didn't move an inch, but a shocking damage number floated above his head — 78941!
Instant kill!
The Shield Breaker Slash had cleanly killed his opponent in an instant!
I was teleported away in a flash of white light. Bing Cha and Ling Xue chuckled. "How did it feel?"
"Too easy …"
Less than a minute later, the second match began. This time, it was a random map — Flying Fire Plains!
This map was a flatland, suitable for cavalry charges. It was also a good choice for melee players.
Bloody World's expression was solemn as he stared at me with his battle axe.
I walked closer step by step. Let's end this quickly!
In reality, both of us were staring at the distance of Charge. It was 40 yards. Whoever Charged first would have the advantage.
In the end, Bloody World activated Charge first. He turned into a phantom as he charged. Seeing that I didn't Charge, he was determined to win. He waved his battle axe and roared as he charged.
But at this time, a white arrow flew out and hit Fighting In Rivers and Lakes in the chest. He was stunned!
Looking at the Fire Dragon Bow in my hand, the stunned Bloody Battling Jiang Chen almost spat out blood. With another bolt of lightning, the Thunder Arrow ended this humiliated berserker's life. What a tragedy. He had been instantly killed in two rounds. That axe hadn't even touched my side.
I returned to the waiting area.
"Perfect victory, one point in my hand!" I smiled.
Bing Cha walked over with his gun. He looked back and smiled. "I'll take the next point!"
"Go, go..."
Bing Cha entered the map and found that his opponent was a sword-wielding girl. She wasn't a beauty, but her skin was very white. She stared angrily at Bing Cha, her chest heaving up and down. Unfortunately, Bing Cha laughed. Her chest rose and fell even more. That girl became even more furious. Not only did she lose, she also lost.
When the two Swordsmen clashed, the first move was Charge. It was clear that Ice Tea's reflexes were fast, but the channeling time of the skill was long enough for Autumn Dew to use Charge as well. As a result, the two girls collided with each other. After being stunned for two seconds, Ice Tea quickly took a step back.
Si si...
God Weapon Breaking Dawn flashed with electricity. Bing Cha was going all out.
Lightning Slash!
“140585！”
F * ck, that little girl's HP was at most 80,000. Iced Tea, the number one player on the Heavenly Ranking, was too much of a bully. He actually used Thunder Slash to electrocute Beautiful Autumn Dew until she was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Another instant kill. Beauty Autumn did not have any defensive skills. The difference between the two was just too great.
In the second round, Bing Cha swung his spear and used Mad Dragon Rising Out of the Sea to sweep his opponent. But this time, Beauty Autumn retaliated and dealt Bing Cha 2000 damage. It didn't seem to break her Defense. The stats of the Fate equipment set were just too strong.
Whoosh!
Best of three, Bing Cha won again!
"Hehe, two points. Let's try to win all of them and enter the quarterfinals!" The beautiful boss was grinning from ear to ear.
The third round was Ling Xue's turn.
Ling Xue's opponent was called Lonely God. He was a pitiful Level 165 assassin. He actually ran into the famous Ice Swordsman of the China server. His fate was sealed.
"Ah!
Ah! "
Lonely God let out two screams of pain. He died decisively.
Actually, his mechanics were pretty good. Stealth, Ambush, Blind, Cold Blood, and more were all executed in an orderly fashion. Unfortunately for him, Ling Xue still had more than two-thirds of her HP left. She turned around and killed the assassin with a single slash. This was the tragedy of an assassin meeting an iron plate. If he didn't have a top-tier dagger that could pierce through Defense, he would have no chance at all. The assassin's dagger looked like it was at least Heaven Rank.
Ling Xue's victory was enough to seal the victory for us. However, it hadn't even been ten minutes since the start of the match. There was a thirty-minute waiting time, so we could take our time to enjoy the next two rounds.
The last 1v1 match was between our beautiful boss, Ling Yue.
On the other hand, their opponent was an Archer. Logically speaking, they had the advantage in this match. An Archer's Stun Arrow was a sure-kill skill for a Mage. Once the Archer was stunned, a slightly stronger Archer could instantly kill a weaker Mage.
Unfortunately for them, the archer was Ling Yue, the number one mage of China.
Ling Yue's movements were incredibly fast. She used Blink and Waning Moon Arrow to freeze the archer's feet. Then, she used Instant Fireball and summoned a fire dragon from beneath the archer's feet. However, Ling Yue had already turned around and left. The archer's death sentence had been pronounced the moment the fire dragon was unleashed.
The second round was almost exactly the same as the first. The archer had no way to deal with Ling Yue's dominating tactics. He could only surrender.
"4 points!" Ling Yue smiled sweetly.
"It's the last 2v2. Bing Cha and Scholar, keep your spirits up. Let's put a good end to the first match!"
"Of course!"
Bing Cha and I walked into the map happily. Our opponents, Bloody World and Beauty in Autumn, were people we had defeated before. They weren't even fifth-promotion players yet. Truthfully, they weren't much of a threat to us. After a while, there would be more fifth-promotion players. At that time, WSL would truly be a fierce battle!
"Are we going to use tactics?" Bing Cha asked with a smile.
"What tactics?" I asked in surprise.
Bing Cha said, "I'll Taunt, you Charge!"
"Okay, okay ~"
Thus, Bing Cha's sister put her hands on her hips and stabbed Breaking Dawn into the ground. She pointed at the two and smiled. "Err, you two, our handsome guy said that the two of you aren't a match for him!"
"D * mn!"
I turned around and glared at Bing Cha. "This is your Taunt skill?"
Bing Cha smiled innocently. "Yes, yes. Go, he's waiting for you!"
I had no choice. In the workshop, I was just a runner.
Kill!
The enraged duo charged over. Blood Battle Jiang Hu shouted: "Too arrogant!"
I felt wronged. How was it that I wanted to be arrogant? Bing Cha was just too unkind.
I quickly turned around and brushed past the two of them. The sparks from Bloody Fighting Jianghu's [Flame Slash] were still burning on my chest armor. In that instant, I lowered my head and dodged Beautiful Autumn's sword. My Burning Soul Sword struck Bloody Fighting Jianghu's back. At this moment, his health was completely empty.
"Autumn, don't give him a chance to breathe. We will take turns to Charge!" Bloody World drank a potion and said viciously.
I smiled and took out my Fire Dragon Bow. Beauty in Autumn paled but had no choice but to use Charge. In the end, she was stunned in front of Bloody World.
Sou sou...
Seven-colored light exploded as I shot out a Thousand Blade Arrow. In the rain of arrows, the Rage duo was killed!
The second round. I walked into the map and hugged my sword. "Bing Cha, this time, you go..."
"Okay!"
Bing Cha did not hold back and swung Breaking Dawn. In less than two minutes, we won!
I was a little embarrassed. Wasn't it too cruel of us to torture him like that?
However, Bloody World actually dared to say that he would block us at White Cloud City. Did he not know what Snow Moon meant? He dared to say that he would block the people of Snow Moon in the safe zone. He really had the cheek to say that.
No matter what, we won the first round on Snow Moon. The opponent could not even take a single hit!
At this time, the information of our next opponent appeared on the screen. The team was called "Heroes", and had ten members. The highest level was 161, and the lowest was 142.
I was stunned. "This..."
Ling Yue said decisively, "This round, let's change our formation. It's time to train."
