Chapter 660

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 arena and 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 .

In the first round, Q-Sword vs Jin Ke . There wasn’t much to expect from that . He had cleanly won 2:0 . Furthermore, Jin Ke’s finishing skill had been successfully broken by Q-Sword two times in a row . That move had shocked the entire stadium . There were even quite a few female players that screamed . After all, Q-Sword was known as the perfect handsome man in the Chinese Server . He had quite a few female fans .

The second match was a highlight . Ye Lai VS Tang Qi . One was a Flame Berserker, while the other was a Feng Shui Master . They were both hidden classes . Ye Lai was more focused on explosive power while Tang Qi was an expert in control .

In the end, Tang Qi continuously used [Hexagram] and [Perspective] to control . He also continuously activated [Combo]s and [Curses] to decrease Ye Lia’s health . Pity for him, Ye Lai

S tier equipment was just too good . As a Berserker, he had at least 8000 base defense and 30,000 health . No matter what Tang Qi tried, he couldn’t budge him . On the other hand, Ye Lai’s [Battle Axe Throw]+[Consequence of Pride]+[Holy Flame Cut] practically instantly killed Tang Qi .

This continued for two rounds . Tang Qi could only bring Ye Lei down to 20% health before getting instantly killed . The reality was the Feng Shui Master class had already reached maturity . Its attack power was a little low and could only act as a support class for team members with higher attacks .

1:1, the two sides were even!

For the third match, Q-Sword’s little sister, Sword Tears, went against Babel Buddha

This time, Babel Buddha, the Wind Swordsman, started off by displaying explosive amounts of power . He utilized his [Wind Shield] and dodged attacks while activating [Wind Pulse] to stun her . He then used [Blade Rush]+[Sword Break]+[Combo] to deal a finishing blow . Against the second strongest swordsman in [Hero’s Mound], Sword Tears, however, he didn’t seem to have even a sliver of fear and actually won both rounds . Now the overall score was 2:1, and [Judgement] was in the lead .

……

“D*mn… . ” Tang Qi rubbed his nose and said, “So sorry, after I lost that point, we had actually lost our advantage . Sigh… . ”

Q-Sword smiled and comforted him, “No matter . We still have a chance . Besides, you were up against Ye Lai! Who’s Ye Lai? He’s a man that can make the entire Jiu Li City shake with a stomp of his foot . He’s fierce and courageous . In the game [Conquer], Ye Lai had charged into the enemy servers’ dens by himself multiple times during the country wars . Even the foreigners are cautious around this man . All in all, losing to Ye Lai isn’t something to be embarrassed about… however, now we must take the 2v2 and the 5v5 and prove that [Hero’s Mound] is stronger!”

Tang Qi nodded, “Yes sir!”

Very soon, the 2v2 began . Both sides countered each of the skills . Ye Lai had instantly broken Babel Buddha’s [Wind Shield] and carried out a barrage of furious attacks . Q-Sword didn’t sit around . He raised his sword and charged at Ye Lai . Tang Qi then used [Perspective] . “Pa!” he stunned Ye Lai . Afterwards, he immediately retreated and activated [Pentashield] and took an attack from Babel Buddha . He then used another [Perspective] and arrived right in front of Ye Lai in seconds and dealt a [Combo] at point blank range .

Ye Lai roared and activated [Divine Weapon Breaker]+[Consequence of Pride]+[Holy Flame Cut], killing Tang Qi right before he died . Q-Sword maintained his 40% health . He immediately turned around and rammed his sword into his opponent . He then threw a kick and successfully broke the skill . Babel Buddha’s [Wind Pulse] was actually broken . In that second, Q-Sword continuously dealt attacks and drained health from his enemy . At the same time, he gulped down a potion and whittled away Babel Buddha’s health!

The fight continued like this for the second round as well and the two teams were tied at 2:2 . This round was too intense!

……

The last round was a team battle . Tang Qi acted as the controller in this match as well . He used [Hexagram] to stun Ye Lai, while Sword Tears and Sword Tan locked their [Assault] skills onto Ye Lai, controlling Ye Lai’s attacks . Q-Sword then killed off Jing Ke and Babel Buddha at once . By the time Ye Lai had escaped their control, he found out that only his healer and himself were left . Against four people, there was no chance of winning . He raced against time and killed off Tang Qi before his [Hexgram] cool down was finished . He then killed off Jian Tan before being killed by Q-Sword .

The second round was the same . [Hero’s Mound] relied completely on Q-Sword and Tang Qi to lock a 3:2 victory . All of the victories were close wins .

Like this, [Judgement] was pulled back to the top eight in the Chinese Server in the Hero’s Wing’s Cup . This year, they don’t have the opportunity to join in the Global Tournament . Luckily, Ye Lai is a rather optimistic person . He had already planned to drink the night away with Babel Buddha and the other team members . They had actually gotten a pretty good score, they had lost to [Hero’s Mound] 2:3 rather than 0:5 .

……

The four out of eight round’s second match was starting . It was Team Fang Ge Que vs Team [House of Prestige] .

Even though [House of Prestige] was strong, it was not on par with [Legend] . In other words, the team that Fang Ge Que lead right now had no shortcomings . They swept through their opponents with a 5:0 . Fang ge Que, and Enchanted Painting dominated the 2v2 and the 5v5 with 2:0 scores in both categories . Only Lu Chun Yang had a score of 2:1 in his solo . In other words, of the entire [House of Prestige] team, only Swift Thunder managed to get a small point off of Lu Chun Yang . The rest were instantly killed . Bai Li Ruo Feng was unfortunately matched against Fang Ge Que, resulting in a 0:2 loss in that category as well . The gap between the server’s number one archer and the server’s number one mage was pretty big . After all, in the hearts of most players, Bai Li Ruo Feng was a man, but Fang Ge Que was a god!

……

After two of the four top teams were decided, the next area’s competition began .

Team Jian Feng Han vs Team Mu Xuan .

Both teams had their shortcomings . Now everything depended on how the matches were made——

1v1: Wild Beauty LV 115 Knight vs Simple LV 117 Mage

1v1: Wild Swan LV 114 Knight VS Jian Feng Han LV 117 Swordsman

Lvl: Mu Xuan LV 117 MAge VS Fallen Wolf LV 115 Berserker

2v2: Mu Xuan LV 117 Mage and Wild Beauty LV 115 Knight VS Simple LV 117 Mage & Jian Feng Han LV 117 Swordsman

5V5：ALL　VS　ALL

……

In the end, Wild Beauty, and Wild Swan the two knights both gave Jian Feng Han and Simple a point . Mu Xuan got a point in the third round . In the 2v2, they lost once again to their opponent . Jian Feng Han and his sister’s teamwork was absolutely seamless . In addition, everyone knew Jian Feng Han’s strength . Wild Beauty was clearly not on his level .

In the end, Mu Xuan had lost 1:4 . Her team was still not on par with Jian Feng Han’s . There wasn’t any other way . She needed another master level player . Mu Xuan on her own was not enough to carry the team the entire way . Besides, the opponent had Simple in the mix as well . In terms of mage strength, Simple does not lose to Mu Xuan .

……

After the two teams walked out, Qing Qian already lifted her bag and smiled, “Brother Xiao Yao, it’s our turn . Time to go against Uncle Yan Zhao’s team!”
