Wheel of Sun Moon was one of the four legendary Korean teams. They had placed fourth in the nationals, and they were the weakest of the four teams. That being said, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, so they couldn't be too weak.
The first match was between Lin Yixin and the enemy's ace archer. Just like Beiming Xue, archers needed to be able to parry and knock themselves back in an instant. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to escape if a melee player got close to you. Leap only had one cooldown, and it would be very dangerous if the skill was on cooldown.
Unfortunately, we couldn't help but laugh when the ace archer tried to parry Lin Yixin's attack with his dagger. He was trying to fool himself by playing fruit knife tricks with Lin Yixin. Our weapons clashed several times in a row, and Lin Yixin knocked away the enemy's dagger with just enough force to prevent him from retreating. She ended the battle with a swing of her Seven Star Veluriyam Sword!
Lin Yixin won 2: 0 and continued to sing a triumphant song.
The second match was between Purple Marquis and an enemy berserker. The clash between the two hot-blooded warriors was spectacular, but in the end, Purple Marquis was the one who crushed his opponent. His perfect positioning and skill cooldowns were perfect, and he used Barrier Break + Absolute Freezing combo to force the enemy to lose two rounds in a row.
The overall score was 2: 0, and it was match point for Snowy Cathaya.
The third match was a bit of a shame. Clear Perfume lost 1-2. When the magic knight closed in on her, she pulled out her dagger to block it, but she wasn't able to achieve the same effect as Beiming Xue. As a result, she lost the first round. She managed to pull back a point in the second round, but she lost the third round again.
The overall score was 2: 1, and Wheel of Sun Moon turned the tide.
The fourth match was Shadow Chanel's turn. Her opponent was still a magic knight, and a Heroic Bannerman at that. As it turned out, not every Heroic Bannerman was a first-rate expert. It was just like how the CGL Hall of Famers like Laughing At The Heavens didn't have much of a problem. Shadow Chanel easily secured two points in a row and allowed Snowy Cathaya to advance to the semifinals.
The final score was 4: 1, and Snowy Cathaya was the first team to enter the semifinals of the WEL!
… …
"It's our turn in the next match!" Beiming Xue stared at the screen excitedly.
Lian Xin nodded. "Yeah, Throne of the Wild is led by Tear Stain. I heard that Tear Stain is Candlelight Shadow's junior sister in university, heehee …"
I glanced at her. "You're thinking too much. I don't think that's the case …"
Murong Mingyue said, "Other than having an affair, I can't imagine why a woman would be so persistent."
I sighed. "Then let's have a relationship …"
Not far away, Candlelight Shadow glared at me angrily. "Can you please stand further away when you're discussing other people's rights and wrongs?
It's none of Gu Jian's business to decide what to do! "
Li Chengfeng leaned against the sofa in the corner and chuckled. "What an exasperated king. Pooh, what a joke!"
Candlelight Shadow's face was livid, but he couldn't lose his temper completely because he was the number one player of China. If he did, he would've been PvP with Li Chengfeng already. Of course, I didn't think Candlelight Shadow was a match for me or Li Chengfeng in real life. My body had been strengthened by the virus, and my bones were stronger than ever. My fists were so strong that even I was surprised by my own strength, and Li Chengfeng had trained himself in the police force. He might be able to one-shot Candlelight Shadow in one exchange.
It was at this moment a black-haired girl walked toward us with a backpack in hand. Three men followed behind her. It was none other than Tear Stain and her main team, Throne of the Wild.
Tear Stain was wearing an orange sportswear, but her collar was open to reveal a low-collared T-shirt. Her ample breasts and deep cleavage were driving the audience crazy since a long time ago. There was no way in China that a Korean girl could compare to us in terms of sex appeal and boldness. Of course, I had already experienced Murong Mingyue's boundless charm when she walked around the workshop in a short skirt, so I was as calm as could be. Warsky and Farewell Song, however, weren't. They kept staring at Tear Stain's chest as if they wanted to one-shot her.
Tear Stain was wearing light makeup, and her long eyelashes made her look quite attractive. Thankfully, the Chinese team had He Yi and Lin Yixin, two stunning beauties, to back them up. Tear Stain's beauty would've crushed them if she hadn't. Tear Stain glanced at us one by one when she arrived at our waiting area. When she saw He Yi and Lin Yixin sitting together, her eyes flashed with surprise and jealousy. She stopped in front of Candlelight Shadow and put down the gaming helmet in her bag. Then, she called out to him, "Candlelight, do you remember me?"
Candlelight Shadow shuddered and looked away. "Why … why won't you give up?" Tear Stain smiled.
"I don't care. The man I set my mind on will never change. Candlelight, you are the man I love the most. You were in the past, and you are still the man I love the most. It's because of you that I studied Chinese for three years, and it's because of you that I trained day and night to become stronger. It's because of you that I created the Throne of the Wild. I will become the number one player in the Korean server, and I will look at you from afar. Everything I do is for your approval, do you understand?"
God's Dance pursed her red lips and said, "Since you've come across a girl like her, just accept her. What are you hesitating for …"
Candlelight Shadow gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. It's all in the past now!"
Deep disappointment colored Tear Stain's eyes. Suddenly, she smiled. "Is that so?
Then I'll prove it to you. I heard that your Candle Dragon lost to a guild called Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls in the semifinals of the China server. Is that true?
If that's the case, I will lead Throne of the Wild to defeat Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and prove my dedication to you! "
Tear Stain picked up her bag and walked up to us. She pressed a hand on the table and sent a letter of challenge. "I am Tear Stain, the leader of Throne of the Wild and your next opponent. Candle Dragon is my sworn enemy, so I will defeat you once and for all for the man most important to me. In fact, I will even lead Throne of the Wild across Dragonbone Mountain Range and occupy your Dark Moon City. Just you wait to taste the taste of defeat, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Your opponent is far stronger than you can imagine. Everyone else, just watch!"
I put down the cup in my hand and rose to my feet. I looked Tear Stain in the eye and said, "You need to understand that your next opponent is stronger than any you've ever faced. Don't think too highly of your Heroic Bannermen. No matter how strong you are, we can beat you all the same!"
Next to me, Lin Yixin abruptly rose to her feet and glared at me with her beautiful eyes. "Hmph, if you want to challenge us, then challenge us. But don't try to show off. You can come to our turf after you've won the match!"
Tear Stain shot Lin Yixin a glance before saying, "Beautiful Little Pepper, you're not a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. What right do you have to speak up for us?"
Warsky teased, "I'm Lu Chen's girlfriend, so why can't I be a member of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls?"
Lin Yixin immediately blushed and looked back at him. "Get lost, Warsky!"
Warsky took a few steps back with a glass of red wine in his hand. He didn't want to provoke the enraged Fruit Knife Goddess. If he did, Warsky Alliance would become the target of public condemnation. He knew full well how popular Lin Yixin was on the international scene, and it was best not to provoke such an idol-level player.
… …
Tear Stain patted the dust off her bag and smiled. "Alright, I'll see you on the battlefield. I'll give you a taste of defeat!
Let's go … "
Frosty Night, Blazing Pulse, and Enlightened Heart immediately left with their beautiful guild leader. These four people belonged to the same club and guild, and they were all Heroic Bannermen. We had met them before in the Nation War, and Frosty Night and Enlightened Heart were both very strong. I was confident that I could beat them, but the girls in the party might not necessarily be the same. Moreover, what worried me the most was Tear Stain's strength. What was she relying on to be so domineering and arrogant?
I was about to ask, but Lin Yixin cut me off. "Tear Stain debuted three years ago, and she officially rose to prominence in the Korean server a little over a year ago. She defeated the former number one player of Korea, Full Moon Dance, and even asked Tear Stain, who was six years younger than her, for guidance. After Tear Stain rose to prominence, she defeated every active expert in the country and became known as the number one player of Korea. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the number one player of Korea.
Li Chengfeng's eyes widened. "This experience is similar to Beautiful Little Pepper's …"
Lin Yixin pouted. "I don't know. Whatever it is, I don't think I can beat Tear Stain for sure after watching her PvP videos …"
I smiled. "Alright, the host is calling us. Let's get on the stage and prepare for the match. Once we defeat Tear Stain's team, we'll advance to the semi-finals!"
"Mn mn!"
The girls nodded in unison before grabbing their bags and following me onto the stage. The WEL internationals were a gathering of the strongest teams, and it was time for us to get serious!
… …
After some discussion, they decided to assign me to the third position. This was the standard ace position, and He Yi wanted me to go all-out against Tear Stain because I had the highest chance of winning. Even Lian Xin might not be a better match for Tear Stain than I was.
Besides that, Beiming Xue was assigned to go up first in hopes of getting off to a good start. Lian Xin followed closely behind her, and He Yi followed behind her. Then, Beiming Xue and I went up for the 2v2 match. We had been fighting 2v2 matches for a long time, and it didn't matter if it was in the WEL or the domestic arenas. We were pretty good at communicating with each other with just a glance.
It didn't take long before the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls vs Throne of the Wild matchups appeared on the big screen. It surprised us a little — 1v1: Beiming Xue LV-188 Dark Archer vs Enlightened Heart LV-186 Magic Knight 1v1: Lian Xing LV-188 Phantasm of Stars vs Tear Stain LV-187 Ice Knight 1v1: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand LV-187 Undead Swordsman vs Frosty Night LV-185 Dawn Archer 1v1: From Water LV-186 Magic Knight vs Blazing Heart LV-186 Assassin 2v2: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand LV-187 Undead Swordsman & Beiming Xue LV-188 Dark Archer vs Tear Stain LV-187 Ice Knight & Enlightened Heart LV-186 Magic Knight...
