"Soul Battle Robes was eliminated just like that?"
Rose's mouth fell open as she stared at the score on the stage. This result was completely out of her expectations. She murmured, "Soul Battle Robes is a powerful team that could eliminate even Snowy Cathaya. How … how could they lose 3: 1 so easily …"
Warsky replied with a smile, "Hmph, it's obvious that they've lost at least half of the match. Song of Ice and Fire, who is supposed to be a solid point winner, actually challenged Vienna's Sorrow and lost a point already. The other three participants of Hero Alliance are all famous Heroic Bannermen, but what about Soul Battle Robes?
I've never heard of the rest of them except for Song of Ice and Fire, who used to be Dawn Wind and Waning Moon. Just look at them! "
I replied in a negative tone, "Warsky's statement is a bit off. Just because an unknown player doesn't mean that they're weak. Ringwraith is an example. He's the only player in Soul Battle Robes who scored a point, and he's definitely one of the Top 5 mages in China. He can turn a normal player into a true expert with just the right opportunity."
Warsky smiled. "That's true. If I hadn't become a Molten Warrior and become a Divine General, I'm afraid I wouldn't be strong enough right now …"
Li Chengfeng grinned. "You're a noob …"
Farewell Song said indifferently, "Li Chengfeng, it'd be best if someone attacked you first. Warsky is our ally, and you have no right to taunt him!"
Li Chengfeng shot Farewell Song a provocative look. "What, you want me to teach you a lesson?
Don't think that you're invincible just because you can transform into the Dark God. Others might be afraid of you, but I, Li Chengfeng, am not. If you want a 1v1, feel free to challenge me! "
Farewell Song snorted coldly. "Alright, after dinner, we'll duel for ten rounds at the entrance of Sky City. The loser will have to call the winner 'grandpa'. Do you dare?"
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Very well. Everyone, please bear witness!"
I nodded. "No problem!"
I was very confident in Li Chengfeng's strength. Farewell Song was very strong, but Li Chengfeng had Battle Soul Possession and was a dragon warrior. He had a class advantage, and a heavy armor player wouldn't be at a disadvantage against a dagger. His chances of winning were definitely over 50%.
Beside them, Rose was speechless. "Can't you guys be a little more united?"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes said, "They're all men, so let them be. Don't worry about them, Rose. You'll feel better once someone calls you grandpa!"
…
It was at this moment Song of Cloud and Water, Song of Ice and Fire, Ringwraith and God Bone walked out of the room with their gaming helmets in hand. They had lost the last 2v2 match as well, and they were planning to forfeit the last match. Unfortunately for them, Vienna's Heart was the MVP of the tournament, and each additional match would earn them more points. That was why they insisted on fighting the fifth match.
As the losers, Song of Cloud and Water and the others walked off the stage after saying a few words of thanks. She looked a little sad. Song of Cloud and Water was hugging her gaming helmet as she sat at a corner with reddened eyes. Suddenly, she shot me a glance and said, "If Lu Chen was in our team, we wouldn't have lost this match!"
My scalp tingled and I turned away from her. He Yi pursed her lips. "Hmph, silly girl, she's still thinking about you!"
"It's okay. I'm your man," I said after taking a sip of my drink.
Lin Yixin immediately turned around and glared at me. I thought for a moment before saying, "We need to be united!"
"Hmph hmph, I despise you!" Lin Yixin replied resolutely.
… …
Hero Alliance was the champion of the WEL US region, and they had defeated the runner-up of the China region. It wasn't exactly an upset, and Soul Battle Robes was a dark horse in the WEL to begin with, so it wasn't surprising that their journey had ended early on.
The tournament continued, and the scores of the other three matches of Group A were displayed on the big screen. Crazy Chariot (Germany) 1 – 4 Snowbird (Russia), Taste of Corn (Italy) 2 – 3 Heavenly Disaster (Korea), Vast Ocean (Japan) 4 – 1 Mad Beast (Iran)...
There were no Chinese teams in Group A, so we didn't pay much attention to them. However, it was obvious that Hero Alliance had the best chance of advancing to the next round. Vienna's Sorrow's team was simply too powerful. Be it in terms of aura or strength, they were overwhelmingly superior to all the other teams in the group.
Snowy Cathaya was in Group B, and everyone's spirits were lifted when Group B's matches began. The first match of Group B's Top 32 was Olympus VS Dark City. I had heard of Olympus before. During the battle at Dawn Valley, Olympus was the guild that had ambushed Li Chengfeng's ten thousand Cyan Tiger Cavalrymen at Breeze Valley. They were the guild leader of Olympus, and he was incredibly strong. Even Lin Yixin couldn't kill him the first time she fought him. After that, Li Chengfeng threw caution to the wind and exchanged blows with Titan God. In the end, both of them died together. Fans of the novel also loved to read: Titan God.
Titan God was a blonde American youth with a faint smile on his face. Countless girls stood up and shouted Titan God's English ID, "TitansGod". Behind Titan God were two men and a woman, and they also caused a commotion when they entered the stage. There was no other reason for that. All three of them were Heroic Bannermen, and their IDs flashed brightly on the big screen — Fairytale Killer: Hitman Guild [Olympus] Vice leader: Grief of the Dark: Mage Guild [Olympus] Vice leader: Shadow Charm: Magic Knight Guild [Olympus] Position: Corps Commander. All three of them were experts we had encountered during the War of Dawn Valley. Fairytale Killer was an incredibly skilled assassin, Grief of the Dark had incredible magic damage, and Shadow Charm was a classic tank-type player. They hadn't been from the same guild during the War of Dawn Valley, but they had all been recruited into Olympus by Titan God. It was clear that Titan City's guild strength was constantly fluctuating.
Olympus's opponent was Dark City. Although the team wasn't bad, they were still slightly weaker than Olympus. In the end, Titan God, Grief of the Dark, and Fairytale Killer scored three consecutive points to clinch victory. They also won the 2v2 match and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4: 1!
… …
Lin Yixin blinked at me the moment Titan God left the stage. Her beautiful eyes were both nervous and excited at the same time. She smiled at me and said, "This is my first time fighting in an international competition. I'm so nervous, Little Cheat. What should I do?"
I smiled back. "It's simple. Think of your opponent as Gui Guzi and fight with everything you have. You're not afraid of the Turkish team, are you?"
"You're right. Let's get ready to fight!"
Lin Yixin grabbed her bag and rose to her feet. The moment she did so, a thunderous applause and countless China international students cheered, "Fruit Knife Goddess!
Fruit Knife Goddess!
We love you, Little Knife! "
I couldn't believe that Lin Yixin had so many fans overseas. Let alone Chinese players, even young American players were shouting "FruitKnife". Lin Yixin was young, beautiful, and had a hot body. Her posters had long since become the symbol of Heavenblessed in China. She wasn't just the goddess in the hearts of many Chinese otakus, European and American players were no exception. After all, there were still some similarities in human aesthetics at this stage of the game. A beautiful girl would be favored no matter where she went, not to mention a girl who could play the game so well and be so beautiful. Lin Yixin's popularity was skyrocketing, and I didn't even need to think about it with my toes to figure out that this was the result. Fans also liked to read:).
"Fuck, you sure have a lot of fans …" I said sourly.
Lin Yixin giggled. "Aiyo, are you jealous, Little Cheat?"
Me: "..."
Beside me, Clear Perfume said, "Sigh, Lu Chen must be under a lot of pressure because Yiyi is so amazing!"
Purple Marquis chuckled. "Serves him right!"
Lin Yixin, the Little Gangster, did something shocking again. She suddenly bent down and kissed me on the cheek. Then, she said with a smile, "I'm leaving …"
I was completely petrified. As expected, countless gazes focused on me in the next moment. Even He Yi and Murong Mingyue were staring at me speechlessly. It was obvious that I was about to become public enemy number one.
"Yiyi, do you want me to die!" I shouted angrily.
Lin Yixin walked up the stage with a smile and waved her hand. This was her signature movement, and it was this beautiful and graceful back that captivated countless people. I was one of them.
… …
Soon, the matchups appeared on the big screen. Unsurprisingly, Lin Yixin was the first to fight, and the dark mage Shadow Chanel was the second. Purple Marquis was in the middle, Clear Perfume was in the middle, and Lin Yixin and Purple Marquis were in the middle. It was a very versatile tactical arrangement, and they wouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage against any team.
Their opponent's lineup was even more shocking. They were Turkish players, and all of them were cavalrymen. Four seventh-promotion magic knights joined the battle together, and their battle strategy was very clear. Everyone else was watching as normal as they could:!
Unfortunately, the Turks had underestimated Snowy Cathaya's strength.
In the first match, Lin Yixin landed firmly on the stage. She didn't ride the Moonchaser Tiger, but the Moonchaser Tiger's head rune appeared on her arm. Even though she was fighting on foot, she had the Moonchaser Tiger's buff. This was the biggest reason why Lin Yixin had been able to defeat Li Chengfeng in the quarterfinals of China.
The Turkish cavalryman laughed and almost drooled at the sight of the Knife Goddess. He wiped the corner of his mouth and charged forward with a long sword in hand. "Let's fight!" he shouted.
He immediately sprinted and suddenly changed his position to attack from a different angle. Just from this probing movement, it could be seen that this person's mechanics were quite good.
Chiang!
Lin Yixin's Seven Star Veluriyam Sword hit the enemy's spear precisely, but she didn't budge at all. She had the absolute advantage in Strength, and she was able to force the enemy rider to take a few steps back on foot.
Thud!
Lin Yixin dashed across the grass like lightning and thrust her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword into the enemy rider's abdomen. The attack was so fast that it caught the enemy completely off guard. The Ice Flame Slash spat out a long beam of sword energy and pierced through the enemy rider's body. Then, she retreated with a beautiful S-step to dodge the enemy's Barrier Break. After that, she changed directions and zigzagged across the grass and dirt, dodging the enemy's Trapping Net.
"Heehee!"
The Devil Bell rang crisply as Lin Yixin leaped into the air and pulled out her dagger. A silver curtain of light covered her beautiful eyes as she unleashed a lightning-fast combo of Extreme Break + Barrier Break to obliterate the last sliver of her opponent's HP!
The score was 1: 0, but she still won without taking any losses!
