Compared to Group A, Group B's strength was generally weaker. Among them, Dream of Snow Moon, Fire Sword, and Brotherhood had the highest chance of winning, followed by Heaven's Pride. After all, they were a team with Dark Shadow Follower, and their strength could not be underestimated.
Fei 'er's voice was so soft that it could melt a person's bones.
"Next up, Group B will advance to the quarter-finals!"
First match, Stewed Green Plum Wine VS Dream of Snow Moon!
Stewed Green Plum Wine was a super violent party, and they had 5 members —
Zhang Yide LV192 Berserker
Guan Yunchang LV190 Knight
Liu Xuande LV191 Mage
Xiahou Dun LV193 Berserker
Cao Mengde LV194 Swordsman
The average level of the party was 192, and their equipment was amazing. Dream of Snow Moon's lineup was no weaker —
Bing Zhiyi LV196 Dragon Knight
Fleeting Time LV196 Dragon Knight
Yi Shuihan LV194 Chaos Swordsman
Sky Song LV194 Archer
Yi Shuihan was a new hidden class, Chaos Swordsman. According to the information Bing Zhiyi gave me, this class's attack was chaotic, and it dealt 25% more damage to armor. In other words, this class had a 25% innate attack advantage. It looked like a very good armor breaker!
Sky Song was a normal archer, and his basic information was unknown. All Bing Zhiyi said was that he was good at archery, and he never missed. After that, Bing Zhiyi shot me a meaningful glance. I was ashamed that my archery skills weren't up to par as an archer.
The match began, and the first match was Bing Zhiyi VS Zhang Yide!
Zhang Fei was a fierce general, and Zhang Yide was no exception. His attacks were always straightforward, and he almost sent Bing Yi flying with one swing of his axe. Fortunately, Bing Zhiyi's skills were outstanding, and she locked onto her opponent with Dragon's Prison before stabbing Zhang Yide full of holes.
Bing Zhiyi easily won the first match with a 2-0 victory.
Second match, Fleeting Time vs Guan Yunzhang!
Guan Yunzhang's fighting style was steady, and it was basically a defensive and counterattack strategy. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't a Radiant Knight, so he didn't have the insane Defense of the Guardian of the Rye. As a result, Hua Huo knocked his shield away with a single swing of her sword and pummeled him with a flurry of attacks.
Another 2: 0. Dream of Snow Moon's performance was amazing. Although the two Dragon Knight girls weren't as crazy as Brave Heart, they were more than enough to stand proudly in the forest of experts.
In the third round, Yi Shuihan, the Chaos Swordsman, fought against Liu Xuande, a high-level sorcerer.
Liu Xuande's movements were exquisite. He used the terrain to his advantage, ran around, and flashed his flashlight. Yi Shuihan wasn't bad either. Both of them were masters at controlling the distance between them, but in the end, due to Liu Xuande's small mistake, Yi Shuihan seized the opportunity to use Charge. He swung his sword twice, and the color of chaos floated around it.
The second match was the same. Yi Shuihan didn't give his opponent too many chances to attack. As a Warrior, he could run far away from his opponent's attack range, and then rush in with lightning speed. His lightning-fast attacks caught his opponent off guard, and Liu Xuande's defeat was understandable.
In the fourth match, Sky Song went up against a berserker, the leader of the legendary Five Great Generals — Xiahou Dun!
Of course, this Xiahou Dun was a noob, but his attacks were still fierce.
Sky Song moved like a dragon or a tiger, and shot a Stun Arrow. After that, he attacked with all his might, but he only managed to take away a third of his opponent's health. But once Xiahou Dun showed his strength, it would be incredible. After [Berserk], this ferocious general roared and charged forward, and took care of Sky Song with three strikes of his axe!
0: 2, Dream of Snow Moon's first loss, and the overall score was 3: 1.
Archers were such a sad class. In group fights, they were known as the mages killer. But in a one on one fight, besides mages and summoners, they couldn't kill any other classes.
The last 2v2, Dream of Snow Moon sent out two beautiful Dragon Knights, and their opponents were Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde. In the end, the two heroes were completely annihilated, and lost with a score of 0: 2!
Dream of Snow Moon defeated Stewed Green Plum Wine with a score of 4: 1, and the momentum was overwhelming!
Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time were overjoyed to get the first point. I walked over and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
Bing Zhiyi asked with a smile, "Guild leader, what's the joy?"
I said, "Do your best. Once you enter the quarter-finals, there will be RMB prize money, and meat to eat."
The two girls laughed so hard that their bodies trembled.
The second match was between Sword Fire and Prodigy.
Sword Fire sent out five people, Dragon Soul, Ghost Flame, Judging Sky, Melancholy, and Spring And Autumn Dance.
Prodigy's players were very weak.
Shadow Follower was sent out to get a good start. Sword Fire sent out Judging Sky. Judging Sky rubbed his nose as he entered the arena. He felt like he was being slaughtered.
Truth be told, berserkers were known to have the strongest attack in Spirit of Grief, but their speed was far inferior. Worse, he was matched against an agile swordsman like Shadow Follower, who was known for his speed.
After entering Prodigy, Shadow Follower must've gone out to cultivate. Right now, he was wearing a full set of Sub-Immortal-grade equipment, and his longsword was glowing with green light. I didn't know what kind of divine metal it was made from. Judging Sky couldn't equip the Sky set because his level wasn't high enough, so he suffered a great loss.
After entering Berserk, Judging Sky charged toward the Shadow Follower in anger. It wasn't because he hated the Shadow Follower, but because he could automatically generate anger after entering Berserk.
Dark Shadow Drifter calmly dealt with the attack. After dodging a few times, he took the initiative to attack. The edge of his sword swam around Judging Sky's back. After stabbing him many times, Judging Sky died speechlessly.
A clean 2: 0. Shadow Follower defeated Judging Sky and took the first point.
In the second match, Wang Junjie went up himself and took the first point.
Unfortunately, he was toyed with by Gui Zhi, and the result was another 2: 0. It was a tie.
In the third match, Dragon Soul defeated his opponent 2: 0. In the fourth match, Melancholy defeated his opponent 2: 0. In the 2v2, Shadow Follower teamed up with Wang Junjie to fight Dragon Soul. Dragon Soul teamed up with Spring And Autumn Dance to prove the saying, "I'd rather have a wolf as my enemy than a pig as my teammate." Thanks to Wang Junjie, Shadow Follower lost the match 1: 2.
In the end, Sword Fire defeated Prodigy 4: 1.
The battle was in full swing. The third battle was between the Brotherhood and the Xuanyuan Sword!
Xuan-Yuan Sword was actually very strong, but Brotherhood was even stronger. After defeating Xuan-Yuan Sword with a clean 5: 0, Brotherhood successfully entered the winner's bracket.
Sword and Rose wasn't very strong, but their opponent, Invincible, was even weaker. It was a team full of women and noobs, and Sword and Rose crushed them 5: 0.
The winner's bracket match became even more intense.
The battle between Dream of Snow Moon and Sword Fire was an internal battle between their guilds, but both sides fought with all their might. In the end, Dream of Snow Moon defeated Sword Fire with a narrow 3: 2 advantage. The two Dragon Knight girls cried out in joy after winning, while Dragon Soul and the others were speechless.
Bing Zhiyi 2: 1 Sword Fire Dragon Soul
Fleeting Time 2: 1 Sword Fire Xing Tian
Yi Shui Han 1: 2 Sword Fire Ghostflame
Sky Song 0: 2 Melancholy
Bing Zhiyi & Fleeting Time 2: 1 Sword Fire Dragon Soul & Sword Fire Ghostflame
Just looking at the points, it was obvious how much effort Dream of Snow Moon had to put in to defeat Sword Fire. It was like a tiger fighting a dragon, and in the end, it was a pyrrhic victory.
In the second match of the winner's bracket, The Brotherhood easily defeated Sword and Rose with a 4: 1 advantage.
I sighed as I watched from the side. Nangong's equipment was pretty good. If she had even 50% of her sister Murong Shanshan's PK skills, she would probably be able to defeat The Brotherhood's undead mage, Death Smile. As for the other members of Sword and Rose, they could only be considered second-rate experts. If they fought against experts like A Speck of Dust, they would basically be one-shot.
As a result, the first two teams to advance from Group B were The Brotherhood and Dream of Snow Moon. They successfully entered the Top 8!
The next Losers Bracket was a fierce battle. In the end, Sword Fire and Xuan-Yuan Sword entered the Top 8.
The final Top 8 was finally announced. The eight team leaders went to draw lots on the spot, and this afternoon, the matchups of the Top 8 were drawn —
1. [Sword Fire]
2. [Soul Battle Robe]
3. [Snow Moon]
4. [Stewed Green Plum Wine]
5. [Temple of the Moon]
6. [Time Like Water]
7. [Dream of Snow Moon]
8. [The Brotherhood]
… …
The rules of the tournament were very clear. The loser would be eliminated until the champion, runner-up, and semi-finalists were decided. In other words, Sword Fire VS Soul Battle Robe, Snow Moon VS Stewed Green Plum Wine, Temple of the Moon VS Time Like Water, and Snow Moon VS The Brotherhood.
We were all speechless when we saw the matchups. Although Snow Moon had avoided fighting Sword Fire and Dream of Snow Moon, their futures were bleak. One was going to fight Soul Battle Robe, and the other was going to fight The Brotherhood. It didn't bode well for either of them!
"Why is the grouping like this?"
Bing Zhiyi complained. She understood that they had no chance of entering the Top 4 after running into The Brotherhood.
Ling Yue said, "Keep working hard. I'm sure you'll have a chance to take out The Brotherhood!"
"Mn …"
In reality, no matter how we were grouped, we were going to run into a strong team. There were thousands of teams in the China server, and the last 8 teams left were all top-tier teams. There was no way we could win easily against any of them.
Of course, Snow Moon was an exception. Our draw was pretty good, and we ran into a team like Stewed Green Plum Wine. Their chances of winning were infinitely close to 100%!
Since the matchups had been decided, there was nothing more to say. We just rested and waited for the final battle tomorrow.
However, Ling Xue and Ling Yue refused to stay in their room and dragged me out to go shopping. We knew that the traffic would be bad, so we took the subway instead. However, there were a couple of men in black suits following behind us, and it made me feel like I was a repeat criminal being targeted by the FBI. It was very uncomfortable.
When a guy tried to strike up a conversation, a man in a black suit pushed him away before we could say anything. Then, he asked respectfully, "Miss, miss, are you alright?"
Ling Xue and Ling Yue were speechless, and hurriedly said that they were fine.
I was deeply moved. If my dad was as good as Ling Tian, would there also be a couple of men in black suits following me to protect me? Or would there be a fifty year old man wearing a long robe following me and saying, "Young Master, have a safe trip!
Young Master, be careful of the bus!
Young Master, have you taken a fancy to that girl? I understand what you mean. Tonight, you can still see her in your room … "
Of course, this kind of plot only existed in pure fantasy novels. In this day and age, there was no such thing as a Young Master. Nowadays, everyone was equal. In the dictionary of modern people, the word Young Master basically had the same meaning as "idiot".
I followed behind Ling Xue and Ling Yue. I couldn't be considered a Young Master, and I couldn't even be considered a book attendant. At least a book attendant could lead a horse. As for me, my body was full of bags, and I was being led by the two girls.
Late at night, we returned to Ling Xue's room. In Ling Yue's room, the two girls took out their suitcases and put the new clothes inside. They threw all the old clothes into the closet.
I asked, "How do we bring the old clothes back?"
"Why do we need to bring them back?" Ling Xue was very surprised.
"Don't tell me we don't want them anymore?"
Ling Xue grabbed one of the clothes and smiled at me, "You bought this one, so naturally, we can't throw it away. We don't want the rest."
"You bought so many clothes, you won't be able to wear them all?"
"No problem, we can put them in the closet. If we don't wear them, just looking at them will make us happy."
I was speechless. I was very worried. If my Scholar's Snack Shop were to close down in the future, how would I be able to support these two girls?
Just as I was worrying about my future, someone knocked on the door. It was a man in a black suit. He said, "You should return to your room to rest."
Very good, Ling Tian took too much care of his two daughters. This clearly meant that I was not allowed to spend the night here.
Awkwardly, I returned to my room and turned on the hotel's computer. I went on the official website. At this time, the top eight of WSL was already there. There were many discussions on the forums. The main topics were "Which team is the best in WSL?", "Which girl has the biggest breasts in the offline competition?", "Will there be godly equipment rewards after winning?", "Is Bing Cha's breasts different in size?", etc.
If Bing Cha was looking at the forums right now, she would probably be furious. Then she would go on a killing spree and kill a group of perverts who drooled over her.
Dragon Soul and Xing Tian went to drink and got drunk. In the end, they were sent back by the police. If it wasn't for the tags on their necks, they would have been sent to the homeless shelter. Iced Tea, Qin Yun, and the other girls gathered together to play poker. It was said that Qin Yun lost a few hundred dollars, and her heart ached for a long time.
In the wee hours of the morning, I laid on my bed and finally fell asleep.
… …
The next morning, after I washed up, I ate breakfast.
On the day of the WSL China finals, there were even more people who came to watch. There was a sea of people, and many of them were crazy about the beauties. I suspected that if there weren't security and armed police, they wouldn't have the guts to charge over and snatch Ling Yue and Ling Xue away. However, it seemed like there weren't many who were my match. Moreover, Dragon Soul, Xing Tian, Seven-star Lamp, and Hellfire wouldn't just stand by and watch.
The scene was boiling, and my heart surged. Snow Moon would definitely win!
The rewards were just too great. I could level up and maybe even get godly equipment!
