"Fuck, everyone else, just watch as normal:!"
Li Chengfeng returned to the side of the stage and glared at me with a pale face. "What kind of skill is that?
It's too fast! How is that even human? "
Lin Yixin exclaimed, "What did you say?!"
Li Chengfeng stared at her, and everyone else looked as normal:.
Chaos Moon said with a smile, "Rest in peace, Li. Lin Yixin's mechanical skill alone is enough to take on Heavenly Kings like Candlelight Shadow and Lu Chen head-on. To be honest, your mechanical skill is pretty good, but there's still room for you to catch up to those three. Keep working hard …"
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth. He had to admit that Lin Yixin's skill was as good as his, but there was always a small gap between them that could decide the outcome of the battle. It was also why Li Chengfeng couldn't guarantee his victory against Candlelight Shadow. Although he had been looking forward to his revenge, he knew very well that his chances of beating Candlelight Shadow right now were less than 40%. Even if he used Divine General Transformation, he might not be a match for Candlelight Shadow, so his only choice was to continue his path of revenge. Li Chengfeng shared the same thought process. If we kept working hard, we would one day kill our mortal enemy, and it just so happened that our mortal enemy was the same person. That was why we had become brothers who would trade lives for lives.
… …
The second round was about to begin. Lin Yixin and I appeared on the stage again. The forest should be a better location for Lin Yixin. Light Wanderers were Strength and Agility classes, so their class bonuses were higher than Li Chengfeng's. Moreover, Lin Yixin's equipment was slightly better than Li Chengfeng's, so her attack speed, movement speed, and evasion were naturally higher.
Wielding the Augustus' Spear, Li Chengfeng activated Great Earth Transformation and Battle Soul Possession again.
"Beauty Lin, I won't let you win this round so easily." Li Chengfeng's eyes were calm as he spoke to the beauty in the distance.
Lin Yixin smiled at him. "Is that so?
But I can tell you this, Li. No matter how cautious you are, I can still win! "
"Just wait and see!"
Li Chengfeng suddenly let out a low roar. His body abruptly rose up and he shouted, "Let's go all out. Have a taste of my Dragonblade Revolution. It's a large-scale AoE attack. You can't dodge it!"
As expected, Li Chengfeng had started using AoE skills in order to qualify for the internationals. Dragonblade Revolution didn't have too long of a cooldown, and the WEL hadn't banned it yet. Fans of the story loved to watch it!
Lin Yixin was slightly taken aback by Li Chengfeng's words. In the next moment, a golden dragon coiled around the Augustus' Spear, and Li Chengfeng let out a battle cry before hurling the spear forward. "Go!"
"Whoosh!"
The Augustus' Spear charged at Lin Yixin with Dragonblade Revolution. Li Chengfeng landed on the ground and dashed forward like an arrow. He knew that a single Dragonblade Revolution wouldn't be enough to kill Lin Yixin, so he decided to split his attack into two and go for the kill instead!
Lin Yixin quickly retreated and opened her palms, summoning two God's Tears at the same time. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to completely nullify the AoE skill. She had no choice but to raise the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword in front of her chest, let out a soft cry, and entered Guard!
Roar!
“79923！”
“82772！”
Chiang!
The Augustus' Spear collided with Lin Yixin's blade, but the impact sent her stumbling backward.
After Dragonblade Revolution wreaked havoc, Lin Yixin's HP fell to 40%. Before the raging storm dissipated, Lin Yixin hadn't even opened her beautiful eyes when Li Chengfeng arrived. His sword abruptly trembled and activated Crushing Blow, stabbing straight at Lin Yixin's chest.
"Ugh …"
Closing her eyes, Lin Yixin's cute succubus ears perked up. Her battle robes fluttered in the wind as she abruptly raised her longsword and canceled her Defensive Stance, causing Li Chengfeng's confident Crushing Blow to fail. At the same time, Lin Yixin abruptly opened her eyes. A pair of beautiful purple pupils stared at Li Chengfeng, killing intent surging!
"Hmph. Fans like to read:!"
Lin Yixin dashed forward and slammed her Devil Bell Gauntlet into Li Chengfeng's sword. At the cost of taking damage, Lin Yixin raised her elbow and rammed it into Li Chengfeng's neck. Li Chengfeng's brain waves were only delayed for 0.15 seconds, but Lin Yixin's reaction was even faster. She launched an attack in 0.12 seconds, and the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword slammed into Li Chengfeng's chest!
"Force Breaking Slash!"
“28282！”
Lin Yixin's signature skill, Force Breaking Slash, pushed Li Chengfeng 5 yards away and stunned him for 0.5 seconds. It was a fatal 0.5 seconds of stun!
Lin Yixin opened her palm and hit Li Chengfeng's armor three times in a row. Then, she dashed forward and thrust the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword at Li Chengfeng's chest with Barrier Break. A huge damage number flew up above his head — 79873!
Li Chengfeng's HP instantly dropped to zero. At the same time, he launched an attack of his own. He abruptly grabbed the spear in midair and thrust it forward with a Dragonbone Flurry + Barrier Break combo!
Pu pu pu pu...
Light from all the skills collided with Lin Yixin's chest, and she lost less than 3000 HP in the blink of an eye.
Thud...
Li Chengfeng fell to his knees again. This time, the Augustus' Spear stabbed into the ground not far away from him. Both the weapon and its wielder turned into scattered light and flew out of the arena.
Lin Yixin's face turned deathly pale when she saw the trace of dead HP left on her body. She stuck out her tongue and giggled. "That was close …"
… …
0: 2. In the end, Li Chengfeng failed to beat Lin Yixin. Lin Yixin brutally took away a precious point from the dragon warrior.
Swhoosh swhoosh!
Both players appeared at the sidelines at the same time. Li Chengfeng looked at us guiltily and said, "Little Gui, Chaos Moon, Fighting Spirits, you guys are really good at Minesweeper. I lost a point …"
Gui Guzi curled his lips. "Don't worry, my opponent is Beauty Lin. Anyone else would've lost a point anyway. The legend of Beautiful Little Pepper isn't fake after all."
Lin Yixin clasped her fists at Li Chengfeng and smiled. "Thank you for letting me win, Hero Li!"
Li Chengfeng probably wanted to bite Lin Yixin to death right now. He looked at me and said, "Vice leader, please discipline your future girlfriend when you have time. Don't let her come out every day and ruin the country …"
I nodded.
Lin Yixin immediately glared at me. "What do you mean by that?"
I shivered and said, "The moonlight is as clear as water tonight …"
Chaos Moon curled her lips. "Forget it. It's already good enough that Lu Chen isn't being disciplined. Sigh, it's my turn now!"
… …
The second match was Chaos Moon VS Shadow Chanel. It was a battle of mages and mages.
Shadow Chanel was definitely one of the top ten mages of the China server. Her strength was unquestionable, but her equipment wasn't as good as Luo River God of the Capital, Stranger of Three Lifetimes or Lian Xin. On the other hand, her opponent, Chaos Moon of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, had top-notch equipment, top-notch skills, and was every bit as good as Shadow Chanel.
Dust flew everywhere in the arena. It wasn't long before Chaos Moon's HP was almost empty, but she just wouldn't die. She wouldn't lose her last sliver of HP no matter how hard she tried. This was the resolve of an expert. Shadow Chanel's Magic Shield had been whittled down by 90% in just half a minute. Knowing that Blink was still on cooldown, Chaos Moon downed a health potion and attacked Shadow Chanel head-on with Barrier Break + Rock Crush. The rest of the players looked at her normally: 2: 0!
2: 0. Chaos Moon proved her strength once more. Even Snowy Cathaya's number one mage was no match for her, and she managed to pull back a point for the team.
… …
The third match was Gui Guzi VS Purple Marquis. It was another battle between aces. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' Undead Knight versus Snowy Cathaya's best control warrior!
"Little Gui, watch out for Purple Marquis' Absolute Zero!" I warned before the battle began.
Lin Yixin also said to Purple Marquis, "Watch out for Gui Guzi's Death Flurry. It's a total of three attacks, and it's best if you can parry it. If you can't parry it, then defend. Don't eat it all. Also, Gui Guzi's Undying Shield absorbs 50% of the damage he takes, but if you can one-shot him, you won't get the chance to absorb 50% of the damage."
"Fuck …"
I grinned. "Yiyi, can you not be so insightful …"
Lin Yixin shrugged. "It's all for the sake of victory …"
Goddammit, Gui Guzi's chances of winning were greatly reduced after Lin Yixin pointed out his weakness.
Inside the arena, Gui Guzi and Purple Marquis fought to a draw for the first three minutes. They fought each other a dozen or so times, and then continued to fight by healing themselves.
However, the moment the victor was decided, Purple Marquis displayed an even more advanced technique. After tricking Gui Guzi into a Death Flurry, Absolute Zero forced Gui Guzi to expose an opening, and Chaotic Universe followed up with a super powerful two-hit combo, successfully taking away the last of Gui Guzi's HP.
In the second round, Gui Guzi put what he had learned into practice and used Death Combo to trick Purple Marquis's skill cooldown. He then used Death Combo + Aurora Thrust for a total of six combo attacks, causing Purple Marquis to suffer greatly and fall to his knees.
The third round was another stalemate. In the end, Purple Marquis won with low HP.
2: 1. Purple Marquis lived up to his reputation as the number one warrior of Snowy Cathaya. He successfully took a precious point from Gui Guzi and pushed Snowy Cathaya closer to the semifinals.
… …
Fourth City, match point. High Fighting Spirits versus Clear Perfume.
Li Chengfeng patted High Fighting Spirits' shoulder and said, "If you can win this round, I'll treat you tonight. We'll drink red wine that costs 1000 RMB a bottle until we die!"
High Fighting Spirits' eyes glowed. "You said it. If you go back on your word, you're a coward!"
Li Chengfeng nodded. "I'm known as the honest and trustworthy Little Husband, and it's not just for show …"
"Alright!"
High Fighting Spirits wielded his warhammer and charged into the fray. Sun Qingqing couldn't even put up a fight against him. His armor advantage was too great, and he managed to stun Sun Qingqing twice in a row on the Dragonlight Armored Horse, earning himself a precious point.
2: 2. It was a draw. As expected, this was a stalemate and intense battle!
… …
The deciding match was the 2v2 match. Lin Yixin + Purple Marquis VS Gui Guzi + Li Chengfeng. Both sides had used all of their trump cards, and I was feeling a little helpless before the match began. Now that the 2v2 match was the deciding factor, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' chances of making it to the semifinals were slim to none.
Purple Marquis had Absolute Zero, and Lin Yixin had Frost Storm and God's Tear to control the battlefield. On the other hand, Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng only had Dragonblade Revolution to control the battlefield. The rest of the battle would be a competition of techniques. Unfortunately, Lin Yixin's techniques were above Li Chengfeng's, and Purple Marquis's were above Gui Guzi's.
In the end, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls lost 1: 2. Li Chengfeng managed to one-shot Lin Yixin and Purple Marquis even though Gui Guzi was one-shot in the second round. However, he still lost the third round, and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' second team was eliminated from the WEL finals.
