TL: 1 more ZL and BTTH!
Inside the dueling ring were core players from [Vanguard] and [Flying Dragons]. Although it was said to be just a sparring match, tensions from the two guilds could still be felt by the audience.
Whoosh!
An ice spear stabbed directly into Fushen Thousand Blade’s shoulders, dealing 448 damage. Although the defense of those in the monk class was exceptional, their resistance against magic was slightly lacking. Fortunately, Fushen Thousand Blade added 5 stat points into endurance every level, causing his health points to reach a staggering 2500, making it impossible for him to be killed in an instant.
“Damn…”
Looking at the powerful attacks from the Ice Rat, Fushen Thousand Blade began to feel anxious and charged forward with his staff. Raising his staff up high, with a pah, he smashed his staff onto the head of the Ice Rat, dealing 229 damage. That wasn’t all, with a flick of his hand, a Killer Bee flew out with incredible speed. At the same time, a golden hexagram appeared on its stinger and with a 4 hit combo, it stung the Ice Rat!
Squeal…
The Ice Rat cried in pain and slumped to the ground, dying just like that. The Ice Rat had high magic growth, enabling it to dish out high damage, but in exchange for that, its defense and health were way below average!
Fierce Tiger looked at the carnage of his pet for a moment, then grabbing his battle axe, he made use of the opportunity to launch an attack. Traversing along the movement of the blade were crimson red flames. [Flame Axe], his level 40, second promotion skill!
Bang!
“1278!”
It was a fatal blow and the Killer Bee was seemingly cut into two halves. Despite being a level 38 pet, it was unable to take a single hit from Fierce Tiger. It wasn’t too surprising though, as berserkers had the title of possessing the greatest brute strength and damage amongst the 9 main classes!
……
Fushen Thousand Bladepanicked. Losing his pet, he could only attack with his staff now. What made things worse was that with each smash of his staff, he could only deal 100+ damage on his opponents.
“Die!”
Fierce Tiger seemed to have gone into a frenzy and bashed his axe consecutively on Fushen Thousand Blade’s Shield of the Broken Army. Damage numbers were popping up left and right–
“109!”
“97!”
“114!”
Fierce Tiger looked in shock and couldn’t help but mumble under his breath, “Damn it, just how much defense does he have? I have an attack of 872, and yet I’m unable to break his defense?”
Fushen Thousand Blade retreated a few steps and propping up his Shield of the Broken Army, he smiled, “1045 defense. I’m very sorry but I am a monk who adds 5 defense each level, with that mere 872 attack of yours, you can just go and take a break!”
Fierce Tiger clenched his teeth and continued his flurry of attacks with his battle axe. Once the 6 seconds cooldown time was over, he immediately roared and activated his other level 40 skill, [Burning Axe]!
Bang!
“317!”
As expected, with [Burning Axe]’s greater offensive ability, he was able to break Fushen Thousand Blade’s defense.
“Sha sha sha…”
Fushen Thousand Blade took a couple of steps back, and his face flashed with confusion, “Damn it, are the second advancement skills really that much more powerful?!”
Following right after, he continued to attack Fierce Tiger with his staff. When the health points of Fierce Tiger dropped to around 400 points, he drank a health potion and his health immediately recovered by 400 points. Once again, his axe began to flash with crimson flames.
Clang!
“588!”
Fushen Thousand Blade’s health bar immediately dropped to near bottom and he unconsciously retreated, “Damn it, the monk class really has no offensive abilities, how am I supposed to fight like this…”
“Hah, then just obediently die here!”
Fierce Tiger was merciless; he raised his axe and cut down on the head of the monk!
……
Whoosh!
Light rose from the spot where Fushen Thousand Blade respawned. Even though he was weakly kneeling on the floor, his health points were back to full. He had indeed lost in that sparring match. Looking at the Shield of the Broken Army in his hands, he was unable to understand what just happened and mumbled, “Ha, so I really just lost like that…”
Fierce Tiger, holding his battle axe, stood arrogantly in the center of the battlefield. Hehe, he laughed, “Looks like the top monk in [Vanguard] has a pretty good defense, but he isn’t able to fight over a long period of time. I heard that your shield was bought not long ago by Jian Feng Han at an exorbitant price of 1000 gold coins. I wonder if this golden equipment is being wasted…”
In an instant, Fushen Thousand Blade’s face turned purple, but as his abilities were beneath Fierce Tiger’s, he could only clench his teeth and remain quiet.
Fierce Tiger raised his eyebrows and continued to laugh, “My friends from Ba Huang City, is there still anyone who wants to pit their abilities against mine?”
The crowd fell silent. Everyone had seen the abilities of this Berserker who had been promoted, and who would be willing to lose their dignity in front of such a crowd? Probably even Fushen Thousand Blade regretted his actions, challenging Fierce Tiger by himself and losing, causing the reputation of [Vanguard] to take a blow.
……
Right at this moment, a man carrying a sword stood out from the crowd and walked leisurely in front of Fierce Tiger, smiling, “Then, let me try sparring with you…”
Fierce Tiger shot a chilling look, “You… you are… Xiao Yao Zi Zai?!”
Of course, under this kind of situation, if I didn’t fight him then who else would still be willing to fight him…
Looking at Fierce Tiger’s battle axe, I smiled faintly, “Yup, that’s me. See, isn’t this proof?”
Pointing to my head, there was a line of small golden words below my name, showing the words “10th Rank in Ba Huang City”, identical to the golden mark above of Fierce Tiger.
Fierce Tiger grinned and said, “Fine. Actually I would also like to understand the prowess of the legendary number 1 close combat healer. Oh, I see you have changed your job. Hmph, that’s also fine, at least strangers won’t say that I am bullying others now. Xiao Yao Zi Zai, I didn’t challenge you, it’s you who challenged me of your own accord. If you are to lose, don’t say that I am taking advantage of my strength to bully others.”
I was stunned, “What do you mean by bullying others? I am only here to claim the 100 gold coins for myself. Do you think I would feel any accomplishment from beating you? You’re wrong; in fact, I don’t even know you…”
“Screw you!”
Fierce Tiger clenched his fist and bubbled with unquenchable anger.
I secretly laughed. Getting taunted so easily, he indeed lived up to his title as the [Flying Dragons]’ most fierce and most simple-minded player!
I slowly removed my Jade City Sword from its sheath, and the crisp sound of the sword caught the attention of the crowd. At the same time, Turmoil Sword activated, boosting my attack damage by 10%. Going by my current attacking damage standards, my actual current upper limit of my attacking damage should be 1007!
“I heard that you have an extremely powerful pet, having 5 stars in its attack growth and an excellence rating of 97%?” Fierce Tiger looked arrogantly at me, his face filled with disdain.
I calmly laughed, “Fine, then let’s not use our pets and do a 1v1 battle between players!”
