Swhoosh! Everyone else, watch as normal:!
Warsky brandished his longsword and faced High Fighting Spirits from a distance. He smiled and said, "You are a manager of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and I respect you. That's why I won't hold anything back. High Fighting Spirits, bring out your full strength. If you don't, you might not even get the chance to attack."
Warsky's words were incomparably arrogant, and High Fighting Spirits couldn't take it anymore. He raised his Invincible and shouted, "Enough with your glib talk, Warsky. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Come at me if you dare!"
"Come at me!"
High Fighting Spirits charged at Warsky without using Charge because he knew that Warsky's ranking in the arena was extremely high. In fact, it was even higher than a CGL Hall of Famer like Laughing At The Heavens. In other words, Warsky was no weaker than Laughing At The Heavens in a one-on-one duel. He wasn't someone who relied on his past achievements. He had been playing the game for many years, and he had been constantly learning and exploring new things. His strength was constantly improving, and if High Fighting Spirits used Charge, there was a 100% chance that Warsky would miss the skill and put him at a disadvantage.
"Heh!"
A hint of a smile flitted across Warsky's lips as he raised his sword horizontally. Instead of dodging, he thrust his sword at High Fighting Spirits. Flames erupted from the tip of his sword and condensed into a cone of flames. It was the effect of Barrier Break! High Fighting Spirits had no choice but to reconsider his decision. If he tried to block High Fighting Spirits' Barrier Break head-on, he would lose at least 10,000 HP. Moreover, Warsky had activated his Famous General Skill, Hegemon, which gave him a 40% critical hit chance.
Rustle rustle...
High Fighting Spirits abruptly stomped on the ground and steadied himself. His Invincible Battle Axe swung through the air and collided with his opponent's longsword. A huge MISS appeared above his head. He had actually broken his opponent's Barrier Break! At the same time, High Fighting Spirits' Invincible Battle Axe glowed with flames as he launched a similar Barrier Break at Warsky's chest.
Warsky's eyes turned cold. Instead of retreating in melee combat, he charged forward. Twisting his body, he used the hilt of his sword to knock the battle axe away. Then, he swung his sword heavily at High Fighting Spirits' shoulder. The image of a ferocious tiger's head hovered above the sword, and the blade of the sword transformed into the teeth of a tiger as it bit into High Fighting Spirits' shoulder.
It was a skill that Warsky had recently learned — Cyan Tiger Shatter!
It was thanks to this attack that Warsky was able to enter the Top 20 without falling. Right now, High Fighting Spirits was about to face this powerful attack head-on.
“13901！”
Fortunately, it wasn't a critical hit. Warsky had used the Famous General Skill Hegemon instead of Encourage, so his attack power wasn't high enough to deal less than 15000 damage. If he had used Encourage VII instead, it would've dealt at least 17000 + damage to High Fighting Spirits.
"Roar!"
High Fighting Spirits wasn't the type to sit back and take a beating. He abruptly spun around and summoned the image of a giant beast. Countless cyclones spun rapidly around him, and it was none other than the Xiezhi Howl. Warsky was within range of Xiezhi Howl, so he tried to retreat in shock. However, he was still hit twice by Xiezhi Howl!
“7893！”
“8012！”
Shock flashed through Warsky's eyes, but he didn't panic. He zigzagged to the other side of High Fighting Spirits and swung his sword behind him, dealing over 6000 damage to High Fighting Spirits. Both of them were now at less than 50% HP.
Gulp!
“+3500！”
The two of them gulped down a health potion at almost the same time. High Fighting Spirits took a hit to the back, but he didn't turn around immediately. Instead, he ran at a 45-degree angle in front of him. Then, he abruptly turned around and ran in an S-shaped arc. With a beautiful backspin, he swung his Invincible Battle Axe at Warsky's head!
"Fuck!"
Warsky groaned inwardly, but he still managed to parry High Fighting Spirits' attack with a loud clang. Unfortunately for him, High Fighting Spirits let out an angry roar and kicked Warsky's lower abdomen. Then, he swung his Invincible Battle Axe down with a Barrier Break and a Flaming Awl.
Shocked, Warsky gritted his teeth and raised his left hand. Whoosh! An icy energy shield appeared in front of him, and High Fighting Spirits' Barrier Break was nullified by the ice shield with a loud bang!
Freezing Defense was Warsky's signature skill. It was a skill that would block an attack and shatter after that. I had experienced this skill in the arena before, but High Fighting Spirits' Barrier Break had been blocked just like that. It looked like High Fighting Spirits was in a very dangerous situation right now.
As expected, Warsky seized the opportunity and thrust his sword through High Fighting Spirits' chest, tearing a huge hole in it. Blood gushed out like a fountain as a huge damage number popped up above his head. "26788!"
This attack was more than enough to one-shot High Fighting Spirits. His Famous General Skill, Overlord, had a high critical hit rate, and it was hard for High Fighting Spirits to block it.
"2: 0! We won again!" Not far away, the leader of Pepsi cheered and smiled at Farewell Song.
Farewell Song crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He had a confident smile on his face, showing that he was immune to the beauty in front of him. This made Laughing At The Heavens a little confused. He wondered if Farewell Song preferred men over women.
… …
High Fighting Spirits had lost, but Warsky didn't look too optimistic either. The two fighters were pretty close in strength, and in a battle between first-rate fighters, victory or defeat could be determined in an instant. Skill like Barrier Break was the deciding factor, and whoever managed to land a Barrier Break on their opponent would be the one to win. The rest of the readers were just as shocked as they were.
Kacha!
The entrance to the tournament area opened, and High Fighting Spirits walked out with a helpless look on his face. He smiled and said, "Boss, Phantom Valley, I lost …"
I nodded. "Mn. Just try your best. Victory is something you can't guarantee."
High Fighting Spirits bared his teeth. "Fuck, Warsky's Barrier Break is a critical hit? What bullshit! If I had half a second more, he would've been dead by the time I finished channeling my Xiezhi Howl. No, maybe 0.2 seconds would've been enough …"
Gui Guzi smiled. "Your next goal is to use your APM and mechanical skills to shorten that 0.2 seconds. If you can shorten it enough, you'll be even better than Warsky."
"Mn." High Fighting Spirits nodded heavily.
Everyone raised their heads to look at the score on the big screen with a heavy heart. The battle was developing in the direction we least wanted to see. The score was 2: 0, and Warsky Alliance would have successfully challenged us if they won two more rounds. Not far away from us, the leader of ASUS, the young man called AGI, had an ugly expression on his face. If we lost, he probably wouldn't be able to explain himself to the club manager. At the very least, he would be scolded. Winning and losing was a common occurrence in war, but losing on the first day of business wasn't something any club wanted to see.
… …
Therefore, Warsky was indeed a bastard to bring his people to challenge Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng at this time. He was simply taking drastic measures to take the firewood from under the cauldron and wanted to kill Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng.
Beside her, Chaos Moon's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety. She wanted nothing more than to jump into the fray right now. She had the Frost Scythe set, and she had incredible control. She had a good chance of winning against Lin Bing Dou Zhe, but of course, she wasn't certain that she would win. Lin Bing Dou Zhe was incredibly powerful, and at the very least, he was much stronger than Chaos Moon when it came to Famous General Skills.
The third match was October Rain VS Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. This was another match that worried me a lot. October Rain was Warsky Alliance's beautiful strategist, and everyone knew that she was full of tricks and tricks. What they didn't know was that her archery skills were unparalleled in the country. At the very least, she wasn't too far behind Beiming Xue or Transient Smoke and Clouds. In fact, it was very likely that they were on par with each other.
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun might be a heavy armor class, but he was the same kind of guy as High Fighting Spirits. His skill and APM were pretty good, but he was a straightforward person. His tactics were nowhere near as smart and flexible as October Rain.
"Don't worry, I'll win this match. Don't worry, everyone …" Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun took the initiative to comfort us.
Chaos Moon pouted and said, "If you lose, you'll have to castrate yourself!"
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun grimaced. "I can't. I don't have a girlfriend yet …"
I smiled. "Enough with the nonsense. October Rain has entered the game already!"
“OK！”
… …
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun picked up his helmet and entered the game. Not long after, both sides were teleported to the arena. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun summoned his Dark Gold Mount, the Earth Lizard. The lizard's body was very small, but it was very agile. So, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun looked like he was driving a low-chassis luxury sports car. He held a warblade in his hand. The Earth Vagabond's hidden class was still a little sharp.
October Rain smiled at Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. "Hi, Earth Vagabond. Are you ready to be taught a lesson?"
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's face turned green. "Die, you little bitch …"
The Earth Lizard abruptly charged forward, carrying Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun with it as it slashed its blade at October Rain from afar. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's strategy was quite clever, but unfortunately for him, he was up against a top-tier expert like October Rain. Normal strategies were useless against him. Fans of the novel also loved to read:
Thud!
October Rain leaped almost 10 yards backward and dodged the attack. Then, she fired a Freezing Arrow at Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. The Freezing Arrow hit Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun in the head and greatly reduced his movement speed.
Following that, October Rain began moving horizontally with Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun at the center. She only moved in a tangent and didn't approach him at all. In the arena, this was the best archer and mage movement.
Swhoosh!
October Rain drew her bowstring and released a cyan-colored iron arrow. The arrow whistled through the air and slammed into Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's chest armor!
"Mountain Stagger Arrow!"
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun shuddered violently as a damage number appeared above his head — 1892!
… …
Gui Guzi couldn't help but laugh. "Is Sister October Rain crazy? How can she use a skill that's even weaker than a normal attack …"
I frowned. "Little Gui, you idiot. Look at Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's mount tenacity for yourself!"
"What?!"
Gui Guzi exclaimed in shock. He took a closer look and realized that October Rain's Mountain Stagger Arrow had shaved away 80% of Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun's mount tenacity. If she used it again, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun would be reduced to a foot soldier. If that happened, he would have no chance against October Rain's elite kiting tactics!
