A pure warrior party was easier to deal with.
"Beiming Xue will kite them while Li Chengfeng and Eve will intercept them halfway." I smiled.
Li Chengfeng nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
It was a simple but effective strategy. Beiming Xue could kite these warriors until they wished they were dead. They had to kill the dark archer first, but they couldn't withstand the interception of me, He Yi, and I. Therefore, there was no way a pure melee team could win against a team like ours.
Swhoosh!
I growled and gathered all my strength. The image of the War God appeared above my head and transformed into a Martial God halo. I activated my Famous General Skill, Martial God, and increased everyone's Attack and Magic Attack by 75%!
… …
The system began its countdown — 3!
“2！”
“1！”
It's time!
Beiming Xue hurriedly retreated and pulled the Milky Way Bow several times. Purple arrows rained down on the enemy warriors, and Evil Spirit Volley exploded. Beiming Xue's current attack power was enough to make these people very nervous — 3102!
“2873！”
“3018！”
… …
Caught off guard, Iron Battle Tiger shouted, "Brothers, this is bad! Beiming Xue's Attack is too high! Let's kill her first!"
The corner of Beiming Xue's lips curled into an enchanting smile as she hurriedly retreated, pulling the distance between them to just the right amount of 40 yards. Then, she drew her bow and released an arrow. This arrow wasn't locked onto the target, but rather predicted its target's trajectory. Nevertheless, it still fell in the path of the female warrior.
“3284！”
The Iron Silver Fox let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground. She couldn't withstand Beiming Xue's attack at all.
At this time, Li Chengfeng, He Yi and I also launched our attacks. The three of us charged toward the enemy warriors and fired three skills at the same time!
“4783！”
“4402！”
“4134！”
These 100 + Warriors all had around 8000 HP, but they couldn't withstand our tremendous damage. In just a single exchange, three more people fell to the ground, dead.
The last warrior was still chasing after Beiming Xue. The beautiful archer moved like a butterfly, her Milky Way Bow humming. In less than 15 seconds, the last warrior was dead!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has won the first match of the first round. The second match will begin in 2 minutes!
… …
Li Chengfeng laughed. "That was too easy. I didn't even get a chance to drink a potion!"
"Yeah, this party's levels are high, but there's nothing special about them." I nodded.
Murong Mingyue pouted. "Actually, it's your Attack that's too OP. If anyone else was in your place, the Iron Mercenaries would've been able to kill them."
Li Chengfeng and I let out a hearty laugh. Murong Mingyue was right. The Iron Blooded Mercenaries didn't have low Defense, but unfortunately for them, their Defense had been reduced to tofu by Martial God's ridiculously powerful Famous General Skill. Fans of the novel also loved to read: War God.
The second round began very quickly, and we were teleported back to the battle arena. Our opponents had ashen faces and serious expressions. Iron Blooded Silver Fox looked at us and said, "I don't think we lost unjustly to the experts of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls …"
Li Chengfeng raised his sword and smiled. "I'm sorry, we didn't do it on purpose. Let's just hope that you'll meet a weaker party in the first round of Who Will Rise."
Iron Battle Tiger smiled. "Let's go!"
The countdown ended, and this time, all three of us took the initiative and stunned three of our opponents with Charge. I was the only one who dodged my Charge, but that didn't matter. I followed the momentum of my Charge and used Overlapping Sword Forms to finish him off. Not far away, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue were beating the other two fighters with ease. In just two short minutes, we had completely annihilated our opponents without taking a single damage!
It was a 2: 0 victory!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has advanced to the next round of the qualifiers!
… …
We finished our opponents way too quickly. According to the rules, a match was five minutes per match, so we had to wait 14 minutes for the next round to begin. That being said, time passed by quickly, and it wasn't long before a new lineup appeared on the big screen. It was none other than our next opponent — [Blazing Hot Lips]. Lineup: Stranger of Three Lifetimes LV-105 Mage, Nono LV-102 Archer, Scentless Water LV-101 Archer, Lasting LV-104 Soul of the Beast, Eyes Like Water LV-104 Warrior...
Li Chengfeng, He Yi, and I exchanged a glance with each other. What … what the hell is this?
Is it an all-girl army?
The highest-leveled player in the party was Stranger of Three Lifetimes, a female mage. She was at the same level as Warsky, so she was not to be underestimated. The rest of the party consisted of two female archers and a Level 104 female warrior. It was a very violent combination, but unfortunately, there was a Level 104 tamer in the party. Moreover, the tamer had a hidden class — Soul of the Beast.
"This Blazing Hot Lips party looks a little interesting …" Li Chengfeng smiled. "Lu Chen, I think we've run into a very difficult opponent."
I sucked in a breath before replying, "I've heard of Stranger of Three Lifetimes before. Back in Ice Moon City, there was only one mage that Luo River God of the Capital admired, and that's Stranger of Three Lifetimes. She won't be easy to deal with, and that Level 104 tamer as well. We'll have to be careful."
He Yi nodded. "Which one should we kill first?"
I said seriously, "Leave Stranger of Three Lifetimes to me. Chengfeng, take out that Soul of the Beast. Don't let her summon too many times. Fourth-promotion tamers are very difficult to deal with, not to mention that she's a hidden class. If she goes all out, we might not be able to hold her off. Sis and Lil Beiming especially, will be in trouble if they get entangled by her pets."
"Mn!" Li Chengfeng nodded. "Leave the Soul of the Beast to me!"
He Yi gripped the Soul Stealing Spear and said, "Leave the two archers to me."
“OK！”
Now that the plan was set, we waited quietly for the battle to begin. The other party was probably discussing how to fight as well. After all, Blazing Hot Lips was going to face the core team of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls in the next round, so they were probably a lot more nervous than we were!
… …
Two minutes later, the time limit was up. A couple of flashes of light later, we were teleported to the arena from the waiting space. The arena was 100 to 100 yards wide, and it was paved with marble bricks that were hard and durable. Even the strongest player wouldn't be able to damage a stage like this. Of course, this was only relative.
The arena was separated by a barrier. On the other side, a party of five beautiful girls had already teleported into the arena.
At the front of the party was a female warrior in fiery red armor. She was the Level 104 Eyes Like Water, and she had a confident smile on her face as she stabbed her sword into the ground. Behind her was the high-level mage Stranger of Three Lifetimes. She was wielding a scepter that glowed with a cyan light. It looked like it was of high rank, and she was always going to be a tough opponent.
There were also two Advanced Archer girls and the Soul of the Beast girl, Yoyo. She was a mature woman who looked to be around 25 years old. She wore leather armor and held a golden whip in her hand with a faint smile on her face. When she raised her whip, the smile on her face grew wider and wider, making her look like a queen.
… …
Both Li Chengfeng and I couldn't help but shiver when we met Lasting's gaze. We exchanged a glance with each other. This party really wasn't as simple as we thought!
"Blazing Hot Lips has established a guild in Vanished God City, and they're known as one of the top ten guilds in the city. Hmm, Stranger of Three Lifetimes' scepter is a 3-star Outstanding Purple Gold – grade weapon, Lasting's whip is a Level 110 Spirit-grade weapon, and that Eyes Like Water is fully geared in high-level equipment. Even the weakest piece of equipment she's wearing is Dark Gold – grade. This party is much stronger than Iron Mercenaries."
Beiming Xue giggled. "I can't believe we're going to run into a party like this in the second round. Heavenblessed's grouping is so flawless!"
I smiled. "There's only half a minute left. Get ready!"
"Mn!"
… …
Our opponents were ready to fight as well. It was time for our first powerful opponent in Who Will Rise to show their strength!
A while later, the countdown began — 3!
“2！”
1! Fans of the book also like to read:!
Let the battle begin!
Li Chengfeng charged the Soul of the Beast at almost the same time as I charged Stranger of Three Lifetimes. Both of us were closing the distance between us and closing the distance between us so that we could force our opponents into a contest of skill. This way, Li Chengfeng and I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Swhoosh!
I pointed Thunderous Charge straight at Stranger of Three Lifetimes. Her eyes flashed, and she took two steps backward the instant I got close to her. She used her Magic Shield to cancel out the stun effect, but that wasn't enough to stop my attack. I dashed forward, my war boots stomping against the ground as I appeared behind Stranger of Three Lifetimes in a smooth arc. Then, I swung the Heaven-stealing Sword at her!
Thud!
Her Magic Shield softened, but it didn't shatter on the first try. This female mage's Magic Attack was extraordinarily high, and her Magic Shield was incredibly durable!
I continued to chase after Stranger of Three Lifetimes, but I was caught off guard by a Freezing Arrow. It was Nono's Freezing Arrow, and it instantly reduced my movement speed by 50%. I was no longer able to catch up to Stranger of Three Lifetimes. Fuck, it's so frustrating to be attacked by a coordinated attack and slow movement speed. It's more than enough to torture a warrior to death.
I looked to the other side and noticed that Li Chengfeng wasn't doing too well either. His first Charge had been dodged by Lasting, and the other archer was also using Freezing Arrows to suppress him. The good news was that Li Chengfeng was a tanky dragon warrior, so he continued to chase after the archer's arrows!
"Heehee, come at me …"
The Soul of the Beast let out a tinkling giggle as she retreated while drawing a magic formation with her leather whip. The next moment, two pets appeared at the same time, and they were both snow-white battle wolves — high-level Snowy Plains Wolves!
… …
The Soul of the Beast then unleashed two Taming skills in a row — [Heart of the Beast]: Increases pet's Attack by 50%. [Bestial Domination]: Increases pet's stats by 25%.
