Chapter 322 Bai Li Ruofeng
“Everyone, keep fighting well…..”
Little Wolf said, “After one more round, we’ll be in the top 32. It was my dream to make it this far. I, Song Han, have never been so close to reaching a dream……hehe, if at least 5 of us make it into the top 32, I’ll be treating tonight. We can have a Hunan-style Feast. How about it?”
Old K laughed, “Yeah! Actually, I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
Little Wolf looked closely at Old K and said, “Old K, how come you haven’t been eliminated yet?”
“What the f*ck do you mean…….”
I looked at the screen and said, “Our opponents in the next round are also in the top 64. Don’t be careless; it’s the last round for today. Who knows what kind of opponents we’ll face….. but I hope we don’t face each other. I also hope we won’t be pit against Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, and all those scary opponents….”
Dong Cheng laughed next to me, “Why do I feel excited all of a sudden?”
I looked at her, “Why?”
She smiled, “Because Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han and the others are considered legendary figures in the game, and we get to be on the same stage as these people. That means we have a chance to create a new legend. Isn’t that exciting? Have you thought about… what would happen if you won the Rise of the Heroes Tournament?”
I was shocked, “This… I haven’t really thought about it. Me as the winner of the tournament? That’s too hard. How many experts do I have to beat to reach that godly stage?……”
Wan Er looked at the screen and said, “Maybe you will. As long as you don’t meet Fang Ge Que early, I think you have a 40% chance of becoming the champion. Your Emperor Qin’s Sword, Magic Spite Armor, and Flaming Tiger God are terrifyingly strong. In addition, with your 6500 health, you could just stand there, let them smack you continuously for a long time and still not die….”
Yue Qing Qian smiled wryly, “I just pray that we don’t meet our own people. With others, I can use 100% of my strength, but against you guys, I can only muster around 50%…..”
“Yeah. Let’s hope we don’t get paired up with each other….”
At this time, the screen finally lit up and the pairings for the last round appeared——
Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Lv 71 Dragon City Nightwatch] vs Bai Li Ruo Feng [Lv 71 World Archer]
Cang Tong [Lv 70 Gold Assassin] vs Immortality Codex [Lv 69 Gold Healer]
Yue Qing Qian [Lv 69 Gold Assassin] vs War Tent [Lv 67 Gold Swordsman] ……
Looking at the matchups, Matcha’s face turned purple, “This is bad! Really bad!!”
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Boss, your opponent……”
“Bai Li Ruofeng?”
“Yeah”
“A Lv 71 Archer….what of it? We should show contempt to the enemy’s strategy but place importance on the enemy himself in our tactics.”
* [Editor note: this idiom means to downplay your enemy to boost your morale and confidence while not actually underestimating them]
“That’s not it, Boss…..”
Matcha was at a loss; she didn’t know what to say. Instead, she waved her hands and a bunch of data appeared. Looking at it, the others and I were shocked——
Bai Li Ruofeng [Lv 71 World Archer] City: Jiu Li City
Guild: [House of Prestige] Position: Guild Master
Biography: From Xiamen. A descendant of the Bai Li clan. He has very high gaming talent and has defeated many peak level experts. He created [House of Prestige] in November of 2013. Since then, he led [House of Prestige] to become the 4th rank guild in China and 2nd rank guild in Jiu Li City.
Strength: CBN Battlemaster Ranking number 4. He is preceded by Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword and Little Demon. He has original insight in the usage of an Archer’s hit and run kiting tactic.
……
“F*ck…..” Old K clenched his fist, “Xiao Yao Brat has such good luck. It’s as if you struck a hornet’s nest, seeing as you have to battle against the 4th ranked peak expert….”
Matcha looked at me and smiled, “My beloved boss, do you still think your opponent is a pushover?”
*Gulp……*
I swallowed, “Can I change my opponent…….?”
“Not possible!”
I gripped the hilt of my sword and straightened my chest, “So what? It’s better that they let me fight this 4th ranked elite. I want to see exactly what the abilities of a peak-level expert are like.”
Wan Er stood next to me and said, “This time you’ll have to give it your all… Bai Li Ruofeng is indeed very strong. I’ve met him 7 times in other games, beating him only three times, and losing the other four. His kiting abilities are extraordinary. You need to use your Flaming Tiger God when you have a chance. Then maybe you’ll be able to insta-kill him…….”
“Got it!” I nodded firmly.
Looking at the screen, Bai Li Ruofeng’s name was glowing. Dancing Forest said with some regret, “Actually, Bai Li Ruofeng is my idol; after all, he’s the best Archer-class player in all of China. But right now he’s my Boss’s opponent so… good luck, Boss. Destroy him! It’s regretful to say this, but between [Zhan Long] and [House of Prestige], only one of the two Guild Masters will enter the top 32!”
I laughed, “Don’t worry. I’ll go all out and leave no regrets!”
……
At this moment, the system started transferring players to the arena!
“Shua!”
I appeared at a place familiar to me. It was my 17th time here today. My opponent was a refined expert, clad in a set of leather armor; in his hands held a frosted floral bow. Bai Li Ruofeng gazed at me and laughed, “I knew that advancing from the top 64 into the top 32 would mean that I would have to duel against an expert. However, I didn’t expect to meet [Zhan Long]’s Guild Master, revered as the man who turned Ba Huang City upside down – Xiao Yao Zi Zai. I’m really in luck!”
