Swhoos.h.!.+

A smiling Warsky shook the sword in his hand briefly before pointing it at High Fighting Spirits. ”You are a top player in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and I respect your strength. That is why I'm not going to hold back. Give me everything you got, High Fighting Spirits, or you might find yourself dead before you're able to do anything.”

Unable to bear Warsky's ridiculously arrogant declaration, High Fighting Spirits retorted harshly, ”Less talking, more fighting, Warsky! There's nothing that you can throw at me that I'm afraid of!”

”Let's fight!”

High Fighting Spirits raised Invincible and ran toward Warsky. However, he didn't use Charge. It was because Warsky's arena ranking was even higher than Laughing At The Heavens, meaning that his 1v1 skills were at least as good as the CGL Hall of Famer. Warsky wasn't a man who sat on his veterancy and contributed nothing to his guild. Throughout his many years of gaming, he had never stopped learning and growing his skills. If High Fighting Spirits had chosen to Charge at that moment, Warsky would've dodged it 100% and gained the upper hand on him.

”Heh!”

Smiling a little, Warsky met High Fighting Spirits' rush instead of dodging, thrusting his sword at the Berserker as a fiery, cone-like energy formed around his sword. It was none other than the skill ”Barrier Break”. High Fighting Spirits could choose to take the blow head-on, but he would lose at least 10k HP. Moreover, Warsky's unique Famous General Skill, ”Hegemon” was active right now. 40% critical hit chance was absolutely not something to scoff at.

Rustle rustle…

Somehow, High Fighting Spirits was able to halt his momentum before swinging Invincible at Warsky's sword. The two weapons met, and the Barrier Break resulted in a MISS. The barbarian warrior actually managed to cancel the enemy's skill! At the same time, High Fighting Spirit thrust Invincible toward Warsky's chest and used his own Barrier Break!

Warsky's eyes sharpened. Moving forward instead of retreating, he knocked away High Fighting Spirits' battle axe with his sword before following up a heavy slash across the shoulder. A tiger's head appeared at the tip of his sword, let out an angry, b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l roar and bit deeply into the barbarian warrior's shoulder.

The skill was something Warsky learned not long ago called “Cyan Tiger Shatter”. It ignored almost all of the enemy's Defense, and it was the skill that helped to place Warsky among the Top 20 of the 1v1 arena. Right now, High Fighting Spirits could do nothing but endure the attack.

13901!

Luckily, the skill wasn't a critical hit. Moreover, it didn't even do 15k damage because his current stratagem was Hegemon. If it was an Encourage VII, then the skill would've dealt over 17k damage at least.

”Roar!”

High Fighting Spirits wasn't someone who took a hit without hitting back. He abruptly spun on his feet as the image of a gigantic beast appeared around him. The cyclonic energy surrounding him was of course Xiezhi Howl. Caught by surprise, Warsky tried to move out of range, but he still took two hits from the skill!

7893!

8012!

Shock flashed across Warsky's eyes, but instead of panicking he zigzagged his way to High Fighting Spirits' flank and hit him with a basic attack that dealt over 6000 damage. Both their HP had dropped below 50% by now.

Glug!

+3500!

Both warriors drank their health potions at nearly the same time. High Fighting Spirits had taken a hit to the back, but he didn't spin around immediately like a noob. He ran forward diagonally, spun around and ran back toward Warsky following an S-shaped path. The b.u.t.terfly maneuver making his...o...b..t somewhat unpredictable, he swung Invincible straight toward Warsky's head!

”f.u.c.k!”

Warsky groaned inwardly, but he was able to raise his sword immediately and parry the attack. It wasn't the end though. Letting out an angry shout, High Fighting Spirits kicked Warsky in the stomach before lifting and dropping his axe again. This time, it was Barrier Break.

Shocked, Warsky gritted his teeth and raised his left arm. A blue energy s.h.i.+eld appeared above him, and a loud impact later the skill somehow canceled High Fighting Spirits' Barrier Break!

Freezing Point Guard was another signature skill of Warsky. It could block any attack exactly one time before ”shattering” and becoming unusable for a time. I had personally experienced this skill in the arena once. Since High Fighting Spirits' killing blow was somehow blocked by Warsky, he was the one now who was in grave danger.

As expected, Warsky didn't let the opportunity slip by and counterattacked with his own Barrier Break, tearing a huge hole at the center of High Fighting Spirits' chest. Blood flowed out of the wound like a fountain, and a huge damage number appeared above his head—

26788!

It was enough to one-shot High Fighting Spirits. Hegemon truly was a commendable stratagem, and the Berserker wasn't tanky enough to survive the ridiculous critical hit chance.

”It's 2-0! We won again!” Not far away, the Pepsi team leader let out a cheer before shooting Farewell Song a faint smile.

The a.s.sa.s.sin was currently leaning against the wall and wearing a confident smile with his arms-crossed. His lack of reaction toward their good-looking team leader made Laughing At The Heavens wonder if he really was gay.

……

High Fighting Spirits lost, but Warsky wasn't too well off himself. Their mechanical skills were quite similar to one another. The battle between first-rate warriors normally ended very quickly, and skills like Barrier Break were the biggest deciding factor. Anyone who managed to hit their opponent with Barrier Break first most likely had the victory in the bag.

Creak!

The door to the battle room opened, and High Fighting Spirits walked out with his gaming helmet. He gave us a helpless smile and said, ”Boss, Gui Guzi, I lost…”
