Brave Heart couldn't do anything to Ling Xue because of Sword and Shield Wrath. If we were outside the arena, I would've summoned my Two-headed Black Dragon and fought her to the death. Unfortunately, we were in WSL, so I couldn't do anything about it.
Ling Yue was excited, her previous worries swept away. "Just a little more and the championship will be ours. Do your best, don't give them any chances!"
"Mn, got it!"
I entered the arena with my sword in hand. Ling Xue followed behind me.
The second round.
Brave Heart looked at us in silence. A few seconds later, she said, "It looks like I have to get serious."
I said, "You'll lose if you get serious."
Ocean's Heart: "..."
In the party channel, Ling Xue asked, "How are we going to fight?
Are we going to use the same strategy? "
I shook my head, "Don't. Against an expert of Brave Heart's level, the same strategy won't be effective. For this round, Ling Xue, use your [Fury of the Sword and Shield] first. I'll support you."
"Mn!"
Whoever won the 2v2 would be the champion. This was a crucial battle, so none of us dared to be careless. We also didn't want to give up on the championship and the MVP award.
Ocean's Heart gritted her teeth and shouted, "Sis, get ready!"
The system started counting down —
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
The battle began!
Swhoosh!
With the sound of the wind, a beautiful figure flashed past my side. Ling Xue had already rushed towards her opponent like an arrow. Midway, a sword light burst out and actually repelled Ocean's Heart's attack in an instant.
"Sis, back off!"
Brave Heart shouted. The moment Ocean's Heart retreated, Brave Heart also retreated dozens of yards.
Ling Xue continued to give chase, but suddenly stopped and looked around in surprise.
"What's wrong, Ling Xue?"
"Things don't look good …" Ling Xue frowned.
But at this moment, Brave Heart suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Forbidden Dragon Armor!"
"Peng peng peng!"
Countless pale white dragon bones broke out of the ground and formed a circle with a radius of about 10 yards. Ling Xue was trapped inside the circle. With a series of cracking sounds, the dragon bones extended upward and intersected with each other. The entire space was sealed!
What a brave heart! Knowing that Ling Xue's [Wrath of the Sword and Shield] couldn't be broken, he decided to create something like a prison to trap Ling Xue. This [Forbidden Dragon Armor] skill was very practical.
"Peng peng peng!"
The earth quaked, and the Dragonbone Heavenly Prison shook continuously. Clearly, Ling Xue was trying her best to destroy this sturdy prison.
In the team channel, Ling Xue's voice sounded, "Scholar, don't fight recklessly. Wait for me to come out."
"Yes!"
I answered and hastily rushed to the front of the prison. Then, I used [Divine Dragon Slash]!
"Bang!"
“7636！”
Damn, less than 10,000 damage?
I took a closer look. The prison's durability was very high, and its Defense was 240k. No wonder it could ignore my attack power!
Continue!
While Ling Xue and I were working together to break the prison, Brave Heart and Ocean's Heart had already split into two groups and were charging toward us with murderous intent!
"Dragon Thrust!"
"Black Dragon Howl!"
When the fierce attack came, I didn't say a word and immediately entered Shadow Escape mode. I had to avoid the attack first.
Brave Heart gritted his teeth and looked around. "Hmph, don't hide yourself if you have the guts. Come out!"
He opened his hand and used [Curse of Scarlet Flames]!
It missed. That wasn't my position.
Ocean's Heart didn't stay idle either. He took out a "Thunder Pearl" from his bag and threw it!
"Boom!"
There was an explosion, but there was still no sign of anyone.
As time slowly passed, Ling Xue finally showed her power inside the Dragonbone Heavenly Prison. "Peng peng peng!" A string of ice spikes penetrated the prison. The effect of [Blade of Snow Domain] activated.
Hehe, Brave Heart's wishful thinking didn't work. A mere Dragonbone Heavenly Prison couldn't hold the current Breeze and Flying Snow.
"Damn it!" Brave Heart cursed and shouted, "Sister, go! Kill this female warrior first!"
Before he finished speaking, Ling Xue had already broken out of the prison. She threw a [Profound Ice Sword] in the air, creating countless dust particles. Then, Ling Xue's vision was obscured. She brazenly charged forward!
"Hua!"
In an instant, she arrived in front of Brave Heart. Her Ice Domain exploded, and she used [Ice Spiral Sword]!
"Peng peng peng!"
Brave Heart and Ocean's Heart weren't spared and were both injured. Before they could react, Ling Xue opened her snow-white fingers and smiled. "Icy Whirlwind!"
A cold wind covered the sky. The two French girls let out muffled groans as their health dropped rapidly.
Taking advantage of this, I switched to the Fire Dragon Bow and used [Thousand Arrows]!
"Shua shua!"
After two rounds of [Thousand Arrows], the opponent's health dropped another chunk.
Braveheart recovered from the dizziness and flew into a rage: "This is too much of a bully, kill him!"
[Whirlwind Slash]!
[Flame Slash]!
After two attacks, Ling Xue was sent flying. Bits of snow fell into the air.
Ocean's Heart used [Charge] and stunned Ling Xue with a whoosh. She raised her sword and used [Army Obliteration]. Under multiple attacks, Ling Xue's health dropped to less than half.
"Pa!"
When Ocean's Heart raised her sword a second time, the tip of her sword was too slow to fall. My Stun Arrow had stunned her.
[Wild Charge]!
Ocean's Heart's eyes widened. Seeing me in front of her, Brave Heart couldn't take it anymore. He flew over and softly shouted, "Stop!"
Ling Xue quickly winked at me. I understood and couldn't help but smile.
In the next moment, I suddenly turned around and used [Dragon Bind]!
"Boom!"
Valiant Heart was shocked beyond words. His entire body was entangled in place. I took a few steps forward and swept my sword horizontally!
Crack! Crack!
After three hits, Brave Heart's last bit of HP was gone.
Behind me, Ling Xue recovered from the stun. She used [Aquaselenic Slash] and killed Ocean's Heart!
A series of intertwined attacks was indeed a success!
Swhoosh swhoosh!
Two rays of white light flew out of the arena. At the same time, a melodious ring entered my ears —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has defeated Glorious Knight!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has won the first season of the WSL!
… …
That wasn't all. A system notice echoed across the entire Spirit of Grief Continent —
Ding ~!
System Notice: After a battle, Snow Moon (China) has won a glorious victory and become the first season of the WSL Internationals!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations to player "Frivolous Scholar (China)" for obtaining the highest DPS and becoming the MVP of the WSL!
… …
"Wahahahaha, we really are invincible!" I laughed loudly.
Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and the rest of the girls were also overjoyed. Being the champion of an internationals was much more valuable than being the champion of the China server!
Moreover, there were many, many great rewards waiting for us, hehe!
"Let's go and receive our rewards!"
"Mn mn!"
We walked out of the battle room. Outside the arena, the cheers were thunderous. All the China players were boiling with excitement. Snow Moon had finally emerged from the encirclement of three powerful opponents and won first place!
The host, Fei 'er, was so excited that she stuttered, "After so many years, finally … wuuuu, finally China has won the Eternal Moon Internationals again. This is the dream that Lin Fan and Murong Shanshan couldn't achieve …"
I comforted her quietly, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Fei 'er smiled bashfully. "Mn."
When we got off the stage, Fei 'er began to announce the prizes of the tournament —
"The ninth to sixteenth place players who participated in the tournament will receive a Level + 1, a random draw no higher than a Middle-grade Immortal-grade item, and 10000 USD. First, please welcome the Rose Team to the stage to receive your reward."
This was a consolation prize. As long as you were qualified to participate in the tournament, the organizers of the WSL would give you a consolation prize. After all, they had to compensate you for wasting a few days of time. Otherwise, who would come to the tournament next time?
The eight teams who were eliminated on the first day went to receive their rewards one by one. As for the lucky draw, some of them got a Middle-grade Immortal-grade item, and some of them got a Gold or Dark Gold – grade item. Their faces turned bitter, and they even thought about dying.
After that, the fifth to eighth place players received their rewards. Level + 2, they could randomly draw the highest High-Grade Immortal Artifact as a reward. In addition, they would be rewarded with 50000 USD in cash, which was equivalent to more than 300,000 RMB.
Gregory drew a Heaven-grade leather boots and fainted on the spot. Seven-star Lamp drew a purple priest skill book, [Heal], and promised to give it to his girlfriend, Shen Luoyan.
A speck of dust drew a bracer, a high-grade Immortal-grade item. His karma was pretty good. Very Cute Very Push drew a high-grade Immortal-grade leather chest armor called "Tut's Double Edged Mountain Armor". There were two tall conical protrusions in front of the chest that could be used to kill enemies. Very Cute Very Push stomped her feet in anger. "Wah wah, what is this!"
Seven-star Lamp asked, "What's wrong with this?"
Very Cute Very Push said, "What's wrong with this? It's full of barbs. Which man would dare to touch me?"
Seven-star Lamp grinned. "You're a chaste woman. Why would you want a man to touch you?"
"That's true. You finally said something sensible."
"..."
Compared to Soul Battle Robes and Brotherhood's karma, Temple of the Moon's karma was really bad. Flying Sword drew a Gold-grade armor called "Thorny Mountain Tortoise Shell", and Han Xin drew an Earth-grade staff called "Wild Bear's Leg of Blade Edge Mountain". He waved it around like Xue Kui waving her octagonal purple-gold hammer.
Han Xin grinned. "I'm going to become a legendary melee mage."
Qin Empire said, "If you don't want it, you can give it to me later. I like this style. If only it was called" Third Leg ". It can be hard or soft, and it's hard to defend against."
Han Xin snorted. "You idiot. Even if it's called" Third Leg ", it's still called" Bear's Whip ". The kind of whip you're talking about is called" Nine-Section Whip ".
Heliotrope turned around and said angrily, "You two idiots, stop embarrassing yourselves. Look at the lady, her face is green. If you don't want to die, then shut up, I."
And so, the group of people left the stage noisily.
After that, the third and fourth place winners received their rewards. They received Level + 3, Reputation, a random draw of at least a Middle-grade Immortal-grade item, and 200k USD.
Divine Forged Guild and Blue Sky's 20 players went up the stage. One of them was lucky enough to draw an unparalleled holy weapon, and the rest were either Middle-grade or High-grade Immortal-grade items. It was a pretty good reward.
Fei 'er announced, "The highlight of the show is about to begin. Let us welcome the first runner-up, Glorious Knights, to the stage to receive their rewards."
Brave Heart, Ocean's Heart, Arthur and the rest of the French players went up the stage one after another. They were the true dark horses of this competition. The overall strength of the French players wasn't outstanding, but these experts were impressive.
The first runner-up received Level + 5, the highest prize was a holy weapon, and 300k USD in cash. The money was directly transferred to the corresponding bank account.
In the end, Brave Heart and Ocean's Heart both got a high-grade Immortal-grade weapon, which wasn't very good. Arthur, on the other hand, got a Level 230 Holy-grade axe. Its attack power was very high, and it was comparable to Ice Tea's Jade Sea Sword.
Arthur jumped up and hugged Ocean's Heart, wanting to celebrate. Then, Ocean's Heart kicked him off the stage.
"It hurts," Ocean's Heart said as he rubbed his chest.
After the first runner-up received their rewards, Snow Moon's players all had rosy cheeks.
The details of the first runner-up's reward appeared on the big screen. Level + 7, Reputation + 1m, Honor + 200k, Luck + 3, a random draw of a Divine-grade item, and 500k USD in cash!
Everyone was excited. The first runner-up's reward was so good, so it was understandable that so many people were fighting for it!
Fei 'er smiled and said, "Let us welcome the champion team to the stage to receive their rewards."
When we were all on the stage, Fei 'er asked, "Who's going to draw first?"
"I'll do it!"
Chrysanthemum Daohana laughed softly and walked to the front of the stage. It was a virtual screen that was connected to Spirit of Grief's mainframe. When Chrysanthemum Daohana's hand touched the screen, a series of data started to appear. Suddenly, Chrysanthemum Daohana clicked on it. The draw was complete!
A light purple staff appeared on the big screen —

The crowd was in an uproar. The first item was the Unparalleled Holy-grade!
Heavenly Staff's Attack wasn't as good as Ling Yue's Lunar Eclipse Staff, but it had a very powerful skill — Shatter the Heavens. This was a special skill that my Heavenly Staff also had!
"Xiang Xiang, you can use Shatter the Heavens with me from now on!" I laughed.
Chrysanthemum Daohana nodded happily.
"Next, I'll do it!"
Summer walked up and drew the item. The screen froze on an indigo-colored book —
[Greedy Wolf Summon]: Summons a violent beast. The master shares 50% of the beast's HP, and the Greedy Wolf's Attack is increased by 50%. When the target is killed, the target has a 100% chance of dropping an item. Class Requirement: Summoner, Tamer. Level Requirement: 220
