……
Looking at Yan Zhao Warrior’s character dissipate into a white light and fly away, I took the chance to look at my own health. Yup, Yan Zhao Warrior truly deserved to be one of Ba Huang City’s top 3 Swordsmen, to think that he could force me into such a state with a chain of skills. If I hadn’t immediately used the effect of [Blade Rush]+ a turn, my chances of winning would’ve been more uncertain.
There was cheering under the stage. In the distant audience, there was a sea of people making the wave. There were quite a few of [Zhan Long]’s fans. Many people were waiting for this duel between [Prague] and [Zhan Long]’s Guild Masters. My victory made a lot of people extremely excited–to think that an underdog was able to defeat an expert. It only demonstrated that there were unlimited possibilities in the game. There was no one who would always be the King. If one didn’t continuously improve one’s self, then he/she would be left behind!
“Shua!”
Yan Zhao Warrior was sent back to the arena. He summoned his Demon Mantis again and glanced at me indifferently. With a flash of the sharp blade in his hand, he said, “Xiao Yao Zi Zai, do you really believe that you can defeat Fang Ge Que?”
“Not really…”
I pondered over how Fang Ge Que had created so many of his S-tier spells and couldn’t help but shiver from my cold heart. I said, “Fang Ge Que is just too strong. Besides his godly awareness and reflexes, the fact that third advancement Mages are unrivaled by any other class with their three [Dimensional Leap]’s that can pull them 60 yards away, and that the environment favors kiting, are enough to dispose any top close combat player. We can’t even charge at him; against Fang Ge Que, we don’t have any advantages to discuss.”
Yan Zhao Warrior’s lips parted and he smiled, “That’s true. That’s why even if I don’t win in the top 16, I still won’t have too much regret!”
I raised my longsword and said, “Either way, let’s do our best!”
“Yea!”
As soon as the battle began, I summoned my Flaming Tiger God and made it rush into battle. On the other hand, I didn’t charge in that quickly, and watched as the tiger activated its [Burstfire Raid]. Yan Zhao Warrior had already thrown out his [Blood Red Chains] and “Pa!”, the Flaming Tiger God was trapped in place. With a sweep of his blade, a [Combo]+[Skyshaker Slash] fell onto the ensnared tiger.
I had already predicted this situation and made a command beforehand. The Flaming Tiger God roared out and flames began circling its body, creating its [Flame Armor], which increased its defense. It currently had at least 4000+ defense. Yan Zhao Warrior’s chain of attacks had actually not instantly killed the tiger; instead, the small tiger raised its sharp claws and swiped at the Demon Mantis, taking away 2000+ health, and stealing 2000+ health as well.
My chance had come!
I immediately charged forward, and with a raise of my sword, I activated [Seven Star Fragment Slash]. At the same time, I opened my other palm and [Great Realm of Desolation] exploded!
“Pa pa……”
Yan Zhao Warrior abruptly moved in a Z formation and two beautiful MISSes appeared after my attacks. Never had he imagined that before he could even regain his balance, I had already crouched down and punched the ground!
“Bang!”
Tiles flew as a red chain broke through the ground, wrapping itself around Yan Zhao Warrior’s two legs. It was my [Binding Chains]! At that moment the [Prague] Guild Master’s expression froze and cursed, “F*ck, this crafty little bastard…”
That’s right, I had used my [Seven Star Fragment Slash] and [Great Realm of Desolation]’s targeting ability to force Yan Zhao Warrior to where I wanted him. I then let [Binding Chains] explode. I had no doubts that he would fall into my trap!
Once the [Binding Chains] had locked onto its target, victory and defeat had already been decided. I had [Shield of the Crimson Dragon] activated as I rushed forward with [Strength of a Thousand Men]+[Combo], sending Yan Zhao Warrior flying out of the arena!
2:0, I was completely victorious over [Prague]’s Guild Master!
……
“Shua!”
I was sent out of the arena and Wan Er smiled, “Congratulations, you’ve finally defeated that tripping stone uncle!”
I nodded and said, “Yup!”
Dong Cheng Yue then continued, “The next round will probably be even more exciting, it’s [Hero’s Mound]’s Guild Master vs [Vanguard]’s Guild Master. Even the smallest mistake would result in one’s defeat……”
I gripped onto my sword and took a deep breath and said, “Yea, whoever wins will be my next opponent…”
……
In the arena, Q-Sword and Jian Feng Han had basically been sent in together. They summoned their individual pets and slid their swords out of their sheaths. In reality, these two were also old rivals, and practically tied. Jian Feng Han had won 46% of the time and was slightly inferior. However, it was hard to tell who would win this match.
Qing Qian fluttered her eyes and began reporting the figures on the side, “Q-Sword has an attack of 3577, defense of 2574, extra attack speed of +12%, Blood Drain chance of 15.7%, and it’s said that his ring adds a 9% chance of lifesteal; he’s really top tier! Jian Feng Han has an attack of 3601, defense of 2551, additional attack speed of +15% and a lifesteal chance of 12.4%!”
As she talked, Qing Qian pursed her lips and stuck out her snowy white 34B peaks. With a smile, she continued, “All in all, there isn’t really a large gap between their attack and defense, but Jian Feng Han has a pair of shoes that increase his movement speed, so he moves really quickly. Q-Sword, on the other hand, has a higher blood-drain rate, so its really hard to determine who has a higher chance of winning. Whatever the outcome is, it’ll depend on either person’s attitude after their first defeat.”
