Chapter 318

The first round of the tournament was over . In a few minutes, the second round would begin!

This time it was easy .

Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Lv 71 Dragon City Nightwatch] vs Thousand Mile Landscape [Lv 59 Gold Mage] ……

A Mage who hadn’t achieved his third advancement yet meant that he didn’t have [Dimension Leap], and thus posed no threat against me . I already had an extra 119% magic resistance, and so an average Mage wouldn’t be able to beat me at all, let alone a Lv 59 Mage . My victory was secured this round!

“Shua!”

Upon entering the arena, I glanced at the 40 year old Mage . Holding his staff, he gazed at me and smiled, “Aiya . I didn’t think that I would meet an expert from the CBN Battlemaster Ranking Chart . Xiao Yao Zi Zai, ranked 22 . Sigh, It seems like I won’t be advancing any further in this Rise of the Heroes event… . . ”

I laughed lightly, “No problem . Don’t falter and do your best . Even if you lose, lose without regrets . ”

“Ah, I hope you can give your all too……”

“Okay… . . ”

The system began counting down and once it reached 0, I rushed forward . My opponent immediately cast [Ice Cones] as he retreated; “Pa Pa” the [Ice Cones] that had landed on my chest only slowed me down by 7 . 3% . Most of the effect was cancelled out by my magic resistance . The more frightening part was that both of the attacks resulted in MISSes . This was due to the my Magic Spite Armor’s special effect that had a 30% chance of making magic attacks miss!

After recovering, I stepped forward with my Divine Battle Boots, lifted my Emperor Qin’s Sword, and used a normal attack on the uncle .

The uncle was startled and quickly blocked the attack with his staff . Judging from his action, his battle sense was not bad at all . He’s probably played other games before as a Knight or spear-wielder . Sadly, he was a Mage right now .

“Keng!”

Sparks flew in all directions . I had attacked lightly but the uncle still flew backward . “Bang!” He landed against the edge of the map and was stunned .

I waved my hands, [Great Realm of Desolation]; time to finish the battle!

4427！

An extremely large number appeared . The uncle got what he wanted – a quick finish . He was defeated in a few seconds . The system notice promptly informed me that I had advanced to the next round .

After leaving the arena, I continued in triumph all the way until the 12th round . I didn’t encounter any difficult opponents at all; the strongest opponent had been a Lv 64 Swordsman – one of [Vanguard]’s thirteen eagles . However, against my Emperor Qin’s Sword, he stood no chance and was killed by my [Blade Rush] and Lv 8 [Combo] . Even my pet dominated his; Flaming Tiger God killed his Hornet in one hit .

“Shua!”

After returning to the waiting room, Qing Qian stood next to me and smiled, “Looks like everyone has been pretty successful so far . No one in our room got eliminated right?”

“Not yet… . ” Li Mu held his long sword and smiled, “After this, if we win 5 more rounds, we’ll be in the top 32 . Let’s get as many [Zhan Long] members in the top 32 as possible . Awesome!”

“Mhm . Let’s do this guys!”

……

——

Soon, the matchups appeared on the screen again . Some people were happy, while some were not so fortunate . There were going to be some problems this round .

Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Lv 71 Dragon City Night Watch] vs Don’t be Foolish [Lv 67 Gold Knight]

Fox [Lv 65 Gold Musketeer] vs Fang Ge Que [Lv 73 Spiritmaster]

Dancing Forest [Lv 66 Gold Archer] vs Jian Feng Han [Lv 70 Gold Swordsman]

……

“Fml, this really is a long shot……” Fox held his gun, his face turning green, “Did I win the lottery? To…… To actually meet Jiu Li City’s strongest Fang Ge Que . What is this…… . ”

“Fox kneeling……” I gave him a reassuring pat on his shoulders, “Don’t worry, there will probably be another tournament in around half a year; you’ll get your chance then . Even so, losing at the hands of Fang Ge Que isn’t embarrassing at all . He’s not only the strongest player in Jiu Li City, but also the strongest player in [Destiny] with a CBN Battlemaster Ranking of 1 . The real strongest of the strong…”

Wan Er was sitting in the corner resting . With her slim figure and snowy white legs showing, she laughed, “Actually Fang Ge Que is a rarity among all Mages . Rumors have it that he has already created 4 Rank S and above custom skills . Custom Skills! Who knows what Fang Ge Que did to accomplish that . But he’s been nicknamed the King of Games, King of Mages, King of [Destiny], etc . This is really a tragedy for uncle Fox . I hope you can last 10 seconds against him……”

Fox hung his head, “This is hard . Musketeers don’t have magic shields or high vitality, only a skill for playing dead… . . [One Second Miss] . It is similar to an Archer’s [Crystallize] . At least I can guarantee that I will survive for one second . ”

Speechless, I could only say, “Good luck . My opponent is Don’t be Foolish . We’ve fought before . He should be wiping his tears right now……”

Dancing Forest cried, “Wuwu, how come you guys aren’t wishing me good luck . My opponent is Jian Feng Han . Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I don’t want this kind of opponent . If only I were pitted against uncle Fox instead . That would be much better . ”

Fox’s face turned all purple, “Looks like I’m as soft as a persimmon; everyone wants a piece of me right?”

Dancing Forest smiled, “You’re already so old, I don’t want to touch you… If I had to touch someone, I’d rather it be Little Wolf or Wang Jian . They’re young, tall and handsome…”

Little Wolf and Wang Jian laughed while Fox’s face turned an even darker shade of purple .

……

Very soon, the thirteenth round will begin!

“Shua!”

Entering the arena, I saw Don’t be Foolish standing in front of me with his spear in hand . He wiped his tears and said, “I really have rotten luck . To f*cking meet you here……”

I laughed, “It’s fate…… I’d have to thank you for this opportunity . If I get into the top 32, I’ll remember you… . . ”

“Inhuman . Let me stab you a few times……”

“We’ll just have to see about that!”

“……”

The system clock started to count down .

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

Battle Start!

I shot forward like an arrow . Against a Knight without high attack like him, I didn’t have to worry at all . With my 2800+ defense, even if I wanted him to kill me, he wouldn’t be able to . Moreover, I also had a Lv 8 [Heal] that could recover 1200 health; this would be an easy win .

Seeing me lift my sword, Don’t Be Foolish activated [Heavenly Shield Wall], and held his position, waiting to defend against my attack .

I lowered my Emperor Qin’s Sword and rushed out to attack the Knight’s body, dealing 1982 points of damage . Without the stacking effect of [Kill For Blood], I couldn’t kill him as easily . After I got within 5 meters of him, with our backs against each other, I quickly turned around . This was where the player’s reaction and attack speed came into play . With his back still facing me, I had already activated my Lv 8 [Combo] . Don’t be Foolish turned a second too slow and received five consecutive attacks——

871！

904！

887！

924！

1001！

In the middle of the attacks, Don’t Be Foolish cast [Cleansing Wind] to recover 30% of his health, narrowly avoiding death . At the same time, I felt a chilling sensation on my arm; his Ice Mantis pet had attacked me!

“Roar!”

Flaming Tiger God rushed forward, and grabbed onto the Ice Mantis’ head, subsequently dealing out 3102 damage . It then activated [Fierce Roar], killing both Don’t Be Foolish and his Ice Mantis at the same time . The two large numbers appeared, signifying that I had won my 13th round .

“Shua!”

After returning to the waiting room, I found Fox in front of me . I stared at him and he stared back .

“F*ck . How were you so fast?” I asked .

Fox rubbed his nose and muttered bitterly, “Actually I don’t know what happened either . Before I could activate [Bullet Screen] or even blink, Fang Ge Que’s magic had already hit me, dealing 4100+ damage . It was too brutal… . . ”

“A single spell dealt 4100+ damage?” I asked .

“Yeah!” Fox nodded .

My palms got sweaty, “Damn, how terrifying is this Fang Ge Que……”

Wan Er appeared beside us and calmly said, “I watched the replay of their battle . That’s one of Fang Ge Que’s custom skills——[Ice Rock Blast], an SS-ranked skill . When used, the ice locks onto a target and attacks instantaneously . That’s why Fox was instantly killed before he knew it . I checked through Fang Ge Que’s recordings and all his battles, except one, had ended the same way . The exception was a Knight at full health . After using [Ice Rock Blast], he cast an addition [Pillar of Fire & Ice] to finish him off… . ”

I was dumbstruck, “Fang Ge Que actually made SS custom skills?”

“Aiya . Why would I lie to you? Would you give me candy if I did?” The beautiful miss teased .

I pursed my lips, “If I can enter the top 32 in this Rise of the Heroes event, I’ll buy you candy……”

“Okay, you promised . I’ll be waiting… . . ”

“Mhm……”

……

I shifted my gaze back to the screen; Qing Qian had enlarged Dancing Forest’s battle with Jian Feng Han . On the battlefield, Dancing Forest used the Wanderer’s Bow to continuously kite Jian Feng Han . A [Meteor Shot] directly pierced through Jian Feng Han’s body!

1672！

“Ugh, Come on, Little Forest… . ” Old K clenched his fist .

I was also beyond nervous . On the screen, Dancing Forest was at full health and and Jian Feng Han only had 25% health left . After drinking a potion, he recovered back up to 80% health . This was a Lv 10 potion; he had definitely bought it from our National Beauty .

However, Jian Feng Han was only at a disadvantage for a while . After sacrificing 75% of his health, he had finally caught up to Dancing Forest . Waving his Flaming Cloud Sword, he activated [Through the Cloud Slash] .

Dancing Forest reacted with unwavering confidence . Using her [Crystallize] skill, she turned into a crystal, forcing Jian Feng Han’s [Through the Cloud Slash] to miss . After the effects of [Crystallize] wore off, Jian Feng Han activated [Blade Rush] and slashed Dancing Forest, depleting more than 50% of her health . He quickly turned and activated his custom skill——[Exposed Point]!

Dancing Forest could not react fast enough and was instantly killed!

……

Another one was eliminated…… .

Dancing Forest was sent back to the waiting room . She stomped her feet in anger, “Just a bit more and I would’ve gotten him . Arghhhhhh!”

I comforted her, “Try harder next time… . . It’s already the 14th round . After four more rounds, we’ll be in the top 32 . Everyone give it your all!”
