Chapter 660 – Four out of Eight (1/2)
Chapter 660 - Four out of Eight
The second match was Wan Er vs Mu Xue, [Moonlit Lake]’s number one mage.
The battle was even more simple. Afterall, mages were already at a disadvantage against assassins. An assassin’s, [Backstab] and [Flying Dagger] was already enough to break through their [Mana Shield]. Furthermore, skills like [Twin Blade Harmony] could completely ignore the shield and kill the player. Even if the mage’s [Mana Shield] didn’t break, they would still die. To top it off, Wan Er was a top tier assassin. She only needed to successfully stun the player once, and she’d be able to pretty much kill her opponent in that small amount of time.
2:0, Mu Xue was instantly killed twice after being stunned. Wan Er had used a combo of [Blade of the Death God]+[Twin Blade Harmony]+[Flying Dagger]. In that moment, Wan Er had unleashed the full might of her 100 stat point strength, successfully killing her enemy twice and getting another point for [Zhan Long].
All in all, we quickly got a total score of 2:0. We were now at the third match of the round, Dong Cheng vs Xing Ran.
Xing Ran was [Moonlit Lake]’s chief assassin. Level 114, and eighteen years of age, it looked like she had pretty good equipment. The dagger she held in her hand glowed with a light green light. It was most likely a Saint tier Equipment, it should have a pretty good attack.
Dong Cheng quietly stood there with her staff in hand. She glanced at Xing Ran and smiled, “Pity, no goods….”
Xing Ran blushed and glared at Dong Cheng’s 34C and said, “I will defeat you!”
“Come at me!”
Dong Cheng chuckled at her own provocation. Her dainty posture was enough to make all the males present skip a beat.
……
In the end, Dong Cheng moved before Xing Ran even went into [Stealth]. She activated [Revealing Light], [Eagle Lightning Wave]+[Magma Lance], wreaking havoc in the arena. She had completely covered every inch of the arena, forcing Xing Ran out. Following that, she immediately threw a [Thunderbolt Finger]. Xing Ran grit her teeth and charged forward with [Absolute Step]. Then, with a flash of her dagger, she cut into Dong Cheng’s neck. Unfortunately, Dong Cheng’s health only dropped to critical. Dong Cheng quickly used a [Dimensional Leap], while she left a Holy Ghost skill in her wake——[Fire Beat Burst Raid]. Flame Beasts pounced onto the arenaand Xing Ran’s body trembled. And that was the end of it. As an assassin, Xing Ran couldn’t take so many attacks at once.
Like that, Dong Cheng won two battles in a row, earning [Zhan Long] another point and locking our victory.
In the fourth round, Wan Er and I went to battle side by side. We finished off the opponent with pure explosive power, getting another 2:0.
The final round was a team battle. [Ice Domain]+[Fire Beast Burstraid] had already turned into the best combo. As before, we swept through [Moonlit Lake]’s main team and won with a 3:0 score. This proved that a team could still enter the top sixteen with a 10:0 score. [Zhan Long]’s team was just too savage.
……
Once the battles were over, we walked out of the competition room. I looked up at the big screen. Right on time, the top eight matches appeared. The tournament was advancing forward on a tight schedule——
Area A: Team Q-Sword VS Team [Judgement]
Area B: Team Fang Ge Que VS Team [House of Prestige]
Area C: Team Jian Feng Han Vs Team Mu Xuan
Area D: Team Yan Zhao Warrior vs Team Xiao Yao Zi Zai
……
The quarterfinals. This time we were really going up against the strongest teams. Not one of the teams in the top 8 were going to be weak. Practically every match was going to be a focal point in the Chinese Servers. The first match was between [Hero’s Mound] and [Judgement] the two big guilds. Ye Lai stood up and lead his team of brothers onto the stage. He smiled, “Let’s go, teach a good lesson to those b*st*rds of [Hero’s Mound]!”
Not far away, I could see Q-Sword pick up his bag and say to Tang Qi, “Tang Qi, I will be able to get at least one point in the first three battles. Afterwards, in the 2v2 and the 5v5, I’ll be relying on your Hexagram Skill and your [Perspective] for control. As long as you cast it at the right time, then I’ll be able to obtain a win against [Judgement]!”
Tang Qi nodded, “Don’t worry Boss!”
……
Not long after, the two team formations appeared on the big screen——
1v1: Q-Sword, LV 117 Blacksmith Swordsman VS Jing Ke LV 116 Assassin
1v1: The Seventh Tang LV 116 Feng Shui Master VS Ye Lai LV 117 Flame Berserker
1v1: Sword Tears LV 115 Swordsman vs Babel Buddha LV 114 Wind Swordsman
2v2: Q-Sword LV 117 Blacksmith Swordsman & The Seventh Tang LV 116 Feng Shui Master VS Ye Lai LV 117 Flame Berserker & Babel Buddha LV 114 Wind Swordsman
5v5: ALL VS ALL
……
Looking at the big screen, I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the LED ad that flashed on the wall and said, “This team formation isn’t very advantageous for [Judgement]. Tang Qi has too many control skills. I’m afraid Ye Lai won’t be able to hold him off. If that’s what happens, then they’ll be in trouble.”
Wan Er replied, “Yea. Actually, overall, [Judgement]’s strength is still slightly lacking. The only stable point is the solo round with Ye Lai.”
“That’s right….”
Not long after, the two went into battle.
