Chapter 176: This Time It’s One Against Five
One skeleton mage, two skills.
Wiped out an entire team.
If the Sword Fighter’s skin wasn’t thick enough, he would have been finished with the first skill.
Even until all five were eliminated, they hadn’t reacted.
Why was the skeleton mage’s skill power so great?
Except for the Sword Fighter, all were instantly killed.
The spectators outside erupted.
Countless people jumped up in disbelief after seeing this scene.
Though they expected Lin Moyu to be strong, they didn’t expect him to be this strong.
A seemingly strong team, instantly killed.
"Wow, is this Lin Moyu’s summon?"
"Such an amazing skeleton, one skill wiped out the whole team."
"I know why he didn’t fight yesterday. If he had fought, the other teammates would have had nothing to do."
"I feel sorry for his opponents. The champion of the level 20 group can only be him."
"Even more pitiful are those in the individual matches. Who can fight him..."
Lin Moyu’s skeleton mage shocked everyone.
Not just the spectators outside were discussing, the news spread across the country and even the world.
The Necromancer career also became known to all.
Scholars specializing in career research stated that the Necromancer career had never appeared in human history before.
This was a completely new, unknown career.
And it was directly classified as a legendary career.
Of course, whether it truly was a legendary career still depended on future performance.
Some careers started strong but weakened after second transition.
Such careers weren’t unheard of.
Ning Yiyi sighed, "I suggest letting Moyu fight directly from the next match."
Duan Gao raised his hand in agreement, "I think so too. Winning one match yesterday was already our limit. After all, we’re short one person and our levels are so low."
Miao Yu also spoke, "The upcoming teams are getting stronger. We probably don’t have a chance anymore."
Jiang Taotao knew this point all too well.
Fortunately they won the first match and learned their own strength.
The upcoming teams were indeed getting stronger.
After this round, by the afternoon, only 256 teams would remain.
None would be easy to deal with.
"Alright, then let Junior Lin fight. We can rest too."
With unanimous agreement, Ning Yiyi giggled and pulled Lin Moyu, "Then we’ll trouble you."
"No big deal."
Lin Moyu didn’t mind.
After all, he was aiming for the champion’s reward.
He had to get the Shining Junior Skill Scroll.
There was also a mysterious potion he could give to Ning Yiyi.
The individual match champion also got a mysterious potion, for himself.
The remaining gold coin rewards would be split among everyone.
This was agreed upon beforehand.
Originally Jiang Taotao and the others said they didn’t want anything.
After winning the championship, the university would reward points and contribution points. That alone was enough.
But later Lin Moyu insisted the gold coins must be split among everyone, so they agreed.
Time quickly reached the afternoon.
It was Lin Moyu’s team’s turn again.
When they stepped onto the arena, they saw some familiar faces.
Lin Moyu knew all these people. They were ordinary students from Summer Capital University.
And he had led them all through the [Tyrant Desert] dungeon before.
As the highest university in the Divine Summer Empire,
Even ordinary students from Summer Capital University were top-tier geniuses elsewhere.
They might be the top scholars of some city or province.
Not passing the [Tyrant Desert] dungeon sometimes had nothing to do with strength, but was related to luck.
Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised at all that their team passed the preliminaries and made it to the third round.
They also recognized Lin Moyu, all looking strange.
Fight Lin Moyu?
They might as well find some tofu to smash themselves against.
After the match began, both sides fell into an awkward silence.
Neither applying buffs nor using skills.
Lin Moyu just looked at them, seeing what they would do.
After half a minute, these people suddenly bowed to Lin Moyu together.
"Big shot Lin, goodbye!"
"Big shot Lin, good luck!"
"Big shot Lin, take the championship!"
...
They all jumped off the arena, directly surrendering.
Duan Gao exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, they’re so decisive."
Lin Moyu said, "Because they know they can’t beat me, so they might as well surrender directly."
Ning Yiyi smiled, "These people are quite sensible."
"They’re from the same university and know Moyu. Knowing they can’t win, naturally they won’t make fools of themselves," Jiang Taotao said softly.
Victory without a fight.
At first others didn’t know what was going on.
Later someone explained they were all from Summer Capital University, and people understood.
Knowing they couldn’t win, it was better to surrender cleanly.
The second day of matches ended, with only one-eighth of the teams remaining.
... teams.
This was the most. Other groups had even fewer teams.
Like the level 30 group, only 62 teams remained.
Each group had different numbers of teams, and the match schedules varied.
In Lin Moyu’s level 20 group, there would be four matches tomorrow.
After the matches, only eight teams would remain.
These eight teams would have the finals the day after tomorrow, directly deciding the champion and runner-up.
As the number of people decreased, the later stages of the competition progressed faster.
With top healers present, there was no need to consider injury issues.
Even if energy was depleted, it would be instantly replenished.
There were no fairness issues at all.
Lin Moyu also paid attention to the progress of the high-level arena.
Lin Mohan’s team was also advancing smoothly.
So far, they seemed unrivaled.
On this day, the Necromancer career’s fame spread across the world.
At the same time, as the matches progressed round by round, the name of Holy Sword Dancer Lin Mohan also spread.
Legendary careers were already impressive, and she had achieved career ascension during her second transition.
Lin Mohan’s future potential was limitless.
In the White God’s courtyard.
Meng Anwen closed his eyes and said softly, "Is it good for the kid Lin to be so high-profile?"
Bai Yiyuan didn’t think so, "What’s wrong with it? We should let the whole world know not to mess with us."
Meng Anwen didn’t quite agree with Bai Yiyuan’s opinion, "But being too high-profile will also attract enemies. The Eagle Country and Holy Battle Divine Domain people aren’t well-behaved."
Bai Yiyuan sneered, "I’m just afraid they won’t come out. The past few times they acted covertly, I couldn’t find evidence."
"If they dare to make a move this time, I’ll let them know what pain is!"
A flash of killing intent passed through Meng Anwen’s eyes, "So you plan to use the kid Lin as bait? Did you tell him to be so high-profile?"
Bai Yiyuan sneered, "I didn’t tell him. We discussed it. Those geniuses from previous years can’t have died in vain. They were our Divine Summer Empire’s geniuses!"
"The kid Lin agreed. Also, as far as I know, the old man’s side also plans to use Lin Mohan as bait to lure out the hidden snakes."
Meng Anwen said solemnly, "A Necromancer of unknown depth, and a Holy Sword Dancer who achieved career ascension, they are indeed qualified."
"I didn’t expect they were actually siblings. The talent of this pair of siblings is really enviable."
Bai Yiyuan said, "The higher the talent, the more likely to catch fish. This time we might have to go on a killing spree."
Meng Anwen also sighed, "It’s been a long time since we moved. It’s about time to get some exercise..."
Killing intent permeated the White God’s courtyard as the temperature plummeted.
The Career Holder Tournament entered its third day.
This was the last day of the team preliminaries.
The team finals would start tomorrow.
The team finals would only last one day, deciding the champion and runner-up within a day.
After the team competition ended, the more attention-grabbing individual matches would begin.
Compared to team matches, individual matches were more anticipated.
That kind of competition without teamwork or various buffs, relying solely on the career holder’s own abilities, was more attractive.
"Our first match today is against team 114."
The matchup results were out.
At this stage, there were no weak teams left.
The remaining teams all had an average level of at least 28.
Teams like Jiang Taotao, Duan Gao and Miao Yu were extremely rare.
Not just them, even level 26-27 teams couldn’t be found.
In the level 20 group, Lin Moyu’s team had the lowest average level, bar none.
Yet ironically, this team with such levels was considered to have the highest chance of winning the championship in this level 20 group.
Some even believed Lin Moyu would 100% win the championship, without suspense.
This time Jiang Taotao no longer tried to gather information on their opponents.
Lin Moyu was already fighting, so there was no need to gather information.
The rest could be left to him. Any tactics or techniques were meaningless in the face of absolute strength.
The five members of team 114 stepped onto the arena.
Jiang Taotao and the others stepped back, making room for Lin Moyu.
Clearly this time, Lin Moyu would fight one against five.
The five opponents stared intently at Lin Moyu, clearly not intending to give up.
Their team composition was a bit strange.
Different from the usual configuration.
One support, four archers.
This support wasn’t a prophet, but a support called Battle King.
Lin Moyu didn’t know much about the Battle King career, only that it was hailed as the best dungeon support.
It could both apply buffs and heal.
Combining the advantages of support and healer.
But this career was rare to awaken, very hard to find.
The mainstream was still prophet plus healer.
One support, four archers - their strategy must be ambush.
"Lin Moyu, we know you’re very strong."
"But we’re not easy to deal with either!"
"We have a way to deal with you. You’re bound to lose."
They stared at Lin Moyu, gripping their longbows tightly, clearly prepared.
Though they spoke casually, they were obviously a bit nervous.
The match officially began. A skeleton mage appeared beside Lin Moyu.
The Battle King support cast skills at the same time.
With a boom, circles of buffs appeared on the four archers simultaneously.
Unlike prophets who needed to apply buffs one by one, the Battle King support buffed the whole team at once.
This was somewhat similar to the Legion Overlord.
The skeleton mage still cast its skill. Ice rain fell.
The four archers moved very quickly, swiftly dodging.
At the same time, an arrow shot towards the skeleton mage.
Skill: Impact Arrow!
With a bang, the skeleton mage stood still, motionless.
Impact Arrow had a stun effect, stunning the skeleton mage.
"Good method! Control the skeleton mage, then deal with Lin Moyu."
"The best way to deal with a summoner is to take out the summoner himself."
"Lin Moyu is in trouble now. Unless they reach legendary level, summoners are at a disadvantage in one-on-one fights."
"Hard to say. Lin Moyu must have countermeasures."
Only those who knew Lin Moyu well understood that controlling one skeleton mage wasn’t enough to deal with him.
How ridiculous!
