“Leave that female mage to me!” Xu Yang declared in a stupid voice while holding the Purgatory Sword.
High Fighting Spirits asked, “Both their mages are female. Which one are you talking about?”
“The one with big b.r.e.a.s.t.s?”
“You mean Murong Mingyue?”
“f.u.c.k off, she's huge, but she's a priest, okay?”
Beneath the stage, Murong Mingyue uttered through gritted teeth, “I'm gonna send these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to the slaughterhouse the second this match is over!”
……
The moment the match began, Gui Guzi swung his spear and charged the enemy's party leader immediately. His footsteps were steady, and his spear was already in motion the instant he took off. His movement was so fluid that it was beautiful to look at.
Thud thud thud!
A couple of arrows. .h.i.t his Spirit-grade s.h.i.+eld t.i.tan Barrier and caused a number of sparks, but it didn't result in too much damage. With over 2000 Defense and almost 15000 HP, Gui Guzi was probably the most broken tank in this tournament right now. If possible, no one wanted to face the undead knight in combat.
The enemy mage cried out hastily, “You idiots, don't hit Gui Guzi, you won't be able to kill him! Kill High Fighting Spirits and Hot Sun first!”
Unfortunately, they were too late. The moment the battle began, Gui Guzi was able to cut right into their formation and shatter both mages' Magic s.h.i.+eld with an Aurora Thrust. He had effectively split their party in half. After Xu Yang, High Fighting Spirits and the others activated their Charges and fought to end the round as quickly as possible, no amount of planning could turn the tides in favor of Zero Pitch Sonata.
Three minutes later, the battle ended in favor of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed, granting them one point.
The second round wasn't too different from the first. Gui Guzi was the main attacker, and because he had a fair amount of attack power, his Aurora Thrust wasn't something the enemy could afford to ignore. This was especially true for Zero Pitch Sonata because their party was completely made up of archers and mages. Unable to come together and burst down the enemy, the only thing they could do was delay the inevitable.
In the end, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls Second Seed successfully beat Zero Pitch Sonata 2-0 and advanced to the Top 16!
……
“Hahaha, I knew Gui Guzi wouldn't let us down!”
I smiled and tried to lift a cup, but I abruptly realized that a snow white hand had grabbed my cup instead. When I looked up, I saw that the owner of the hand was a cute and refres.h.i.+ng-looking girl about seventeen to eighteen years old. She was the same type of woman as Beiming Xue. The girl smiled at me and said, “h.e.l.lo, Lu Chen, I'm Song of Cloud and Water, the guild leader of Soul Battle Robes. Are you interested in joining us? We promise to pay you handsomely for your service…”
Oh, it's that girl again!
I grabbed Lin Yixin's cup instead and took a sip. Then, I complained, “This red tea is so bitter! I can't believe you can swallow something like this, Yiyi.”
Lin Yixin smiled. “A person should learn to appreciate both the bitterness and sweetness of life.”
Song Of Cloud And Water's eyes turned as round as saucers. “f.u.c.k, he… he ignored me again…”
Hmph hmph, that's exactly right, little girl!
It was at this moment four players walked up to Song Of Cloud And Water and asked, “Guild leader, what are you doing here? It's our turn to go on stage.”
The girl looked at the big screen—
Group G
Soul Battle Robes VS Warsky Alliance, Mad Dragon VS Hegemon Palace
Group H
Dirge Of War VS Snow Moon, Baidicheng VS Myth
……
A sigh slipped through her parted lips. “What a shame that we ran into Warsky Alliance so soon. We could've fought Snow Moon if it was a weaker party…”
One of her members chuckled awkwardly. “Those days are long gone, guild leader. Both Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes are no longer the king-level guilds we used to be. Even if we win this match, I doubt Snow Moon will beat their opponent and meet us in the Top 16…”
Song Of Cloud And Water turned around to face him. “What do you mean?”
“Do you know who the current guild leader of Snow Moon is? He's a super noob called Southern Barbarian. Their opponent is Dirge Of War, one of the Top 10 guilds of Vanished G.o.d City. I would suspect foul play if they somehow won this…”
“Sigh…”
……
Soul Battle Robes went on stage, and on the other side stood Warsky Alliance. Warsky was a handsome young man in real life, and the corners of his lips looked like they would turn up at any moment. Behind him was Farewell Song, Laughing At The Heavens, October Rain and a priest called To Make Rain Ripple. Their comp was perfectly standard, but the three CGL rankers in the party definitely weren't!
