Chapter 182: Villains Often Die from Talking Too Much
Lin Moyu won again, as everyone had expected.
When he summoned 20 skeletons, no one was surprised.
Someone even said, "I told you Lin Moyu had 10 skeleton warriors and 10 skeleton mages."
"See? I guessed it right."
"One person is like a whole team. How can others compete with him?"
Those who guessed correctly were extremely excited, as if they had accomplished something great.
So far, Lin Moyu had only shown three skills:
Summoning skeleton warriors, skeleton mages, and the slow curse.
Many people were hoping Lin Moyu would reveal other skills.
Su Sheng’s Summer Capital University team stepped onto the arena.
Zhendun University’s team also came up.
The Holy Light Mage and Divine Eye Archer, two legendary career holders, were about to clash.
Su Sheng looked down coldly, "My Holy Light Mage ranks in the top 5 among legendary combat careers. Your Divine Eye Archer doesn’t even make the top 10. How can you hope to compete with me?"
Liu Xianren’s expression was grave. He knew Su Sheng was telling the truth.
Even among legendary combat careers, there were significant differences in strength.
Liu Xianren said coldly, "True strength can only be determined through battle."
"Heh, is there even a need to fight? I’m only talking to you because we’re both legendary career holders. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother speaking at all."
Su Sheng had reason to be arrogant.
He had been instantly killing opponents all the way here.
No one had been able to withstand his first skill.
In his eyes, only fellow legendary career holders were worthy of conversation.
As the formation fluctuated and the signal sounded, the battle began.
Su Sheng raised his hand slightly, and dazzling light instantly filled the arena.
It was the same attack again.
Since the start of the competition, Su Sheng had only used this one skill.
No one could block it.
They didn’t even know how they lost.
In the light, Zhendun University’s team members appeared outside the arena one by one.
Finally, even Liu Xianren appeared outside.
From start to finish, the match lasted less than 10 seconds.
Even Liu Xianren, a fellow legendary career holder, lost.
He lost so decisively, so inexplicably.
Liu Xianren didn’t even know how he lost.
Su Sheng looked down from above, "I told you, the gap between us is huge."
Then he turned to Lin Moyu, "It’s your turn. I don’t need rest. Do you need any?"
"Let’s finish this quickly so I can go rest."
"If not for the Shining Skill Scroll, I wouldn’t bother participating in such a boring competition."
Su Sheng didn’t take Lin Moyu seriously at all.
In fact, he didn’t take any other career holders seriously.
Even the four teammates behind him were just there to make up numbers, sent by the university.
They didn’t need to do anything, just watch the whole time.
A referee flew above the arena and said to Lin Moyu, "Su Sheng has issued a challenge. Do you want to fight now or rest first?"
Lin Moyu hadn’t exerted himself at all. "Let’s fight now."
The sooner it was over, the better.
It didn’t matter if he couldn’t understand Su Sheng’s skill.
The Bone Armor wasn’t just for show. Whatever the skill, it had to break through the Bone Armor first.
The Bone Armor could even block the Flame Demon King’s death ray. What could a level 29 career holder’s skill do?
Even legendary career holders had their limits.
Lin Moyu walked onto the arena.
Su Sheng said a few words to his teammates behind him.
They quickly jumped off the arena.
"I know you’re also from Summer Capital University. I’ve heard about what you’ve done there."
"Helping people clear dungeons for points, how embarrassing that you would do such a thing."
"Ordinary students are just ordinary students. It’s really exasperating."
Su Sheng spoke with disdain born of their career attributes’ conflict.
Lin Moyu’s expression gradually darkened.
Your arrogance is your business, it has nothing to do with me.
But trying to lecture me...
Who do you think you are?
"Is something wrong with your brain?" Lin Moyu suddenly spoke.
Su Sheng was taken aback, "What did you say?"
Lin Moyu said, "If your brain is sick, go see a healer quickly. Don’t bark here like a dog."
Su Sheng’s face flushed red with anger.
Jiang Taotao looked puzzled, "Yiyi, why does that sound familiar?"
Ning Yiyi giggled, a bit embarrassed, "I learned it from you."
Jiang Taotao’s mouth twitched, looking like she wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
Su Sheng said coldly, "You dare insult me? You actually dare insult me!"
"Idiot!" Lin Moyu snorted, not bothering with him anymore.
Some people are too full of themselves, too arrogant.
They really think they’re second only to heaven, when in fact they don’t amount to anything.
Su Sheng’s voice grew colder, "Verbal sparring is meaningless. Only fists matter."
Lin Moyu couldn’t be bothered with him.
Perhaps being a legendary career holder had made him lose himself. There was no reasoning with such people. The only way was to thoroughly crush them underfoot.
The battle began.
Five skeleton warriors appeared in front of Lin Moyu.
Su Sheng ignored the skeleton warriors, "Undead creatures, receive holy light’s punishment!"
The arena lit up again, turning into a pure white orb of light. Nothing could be seen.
Within the light, Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor flashed, clearly under attack.
The attack came from light, light from all directions, inescapable light.
The light’s attack was all-pervasive. Even the best knight couldn’t block it all.
The light contained a special aura. Lin Moyu felt something familiar.
After sensing it, he finally understood, "So it’s a mental attack!"
This aura was 80% similar to his soul flame’s aura.
So Su Sheng’s attack was a type of mental attack.
But different from his own soul flame.
Not as intense, directly causing massive damage.
More like slowly boiling a frog, opponents dying and being eliminated without realizing it.
Silently, opponents didn’t even know how they were eliminated.
Unfortunately, mental attacks were still within the Bone Armor’s defense range.
Su Sheng, with his arrogance, maintained the light with one hand while raising the other high.
In his vision, Lin Moyu seemed to be in a daze, showing no reaction.
"Die!"
Skill: Light Blade.
A huge blade made of light suddenly chopped down at Lin Moyu.
The blade also contained light’s power, moving extremely fast.
It landed on Lin Moyu almost instantly.
Holy Light Mages could become legendary careers, and very powerful ones at that,
Because they could perform mental attacks and control light’s power.
The Bone Armor was incredibly sturdy. The blade landed on it but couldn’t shake it at all.
Su Sheng frowned slightly. The Bone Armor’s sturdiness exceeded his expectations.
His Light Blade had always been invincible.
Even Liu Xianren, a fellow legendary career holder, had fallen to the Light Blade’s attack earlier.
He didn’t expect Lin Moyu to be able to block it.
Crack, crack.
In the silent world of light, the skeletons’ footsteps were particularly clear.
Five skeleton warriors ran over in the pure white light.
In the blink of an eye, they reached Su Sheng and swung their blades.
The holy light was just a mental attack, useless against skeletons.
Su Sheng said with disgust, "Holy Light Impact!"
A denser ball of light appeared in front of him.
Carrying an intense holy aura, it exploded with a bang.
The five skeleton warriors were instantly blasted away.
Lin Moyu could sense that the skeleton warriors hadn’t taken much damage.
Holy light’s power and the skeletons’ undead power were mutually restraining.
Which restrained which depended on the strength of both sides’ power and attributes.
The skeleton warriors’ attributes far exceeded Su Sheng’s. His skills couldn’t cause much damage to the skeleton warriors.
It was just that this skill’s forced knockback effect, similar to a control skill, blasted the skeleton warriors away.
Su Sheng still maintained his arrogance. In his eyes, holy light could restrain darkness.
Undead monsters should be purified and destroyed in holy light.
But the next second, after falling, the skeleton warriors quickly got up again. Every bone in their bodies was intact, completely uninjured.
"This is impossible!"
Su Sheng couldn’t believe it. When he was about to attack again,
With a boom, two lightning bolts struck from above.
Su Sheng’s body shook, his skill immediately interrupted.
The white light covering the arena disappeared. People could see what was happening on the arena.
Su Sheng was smoking, his hair standing on end.
"Oh? Not eliminated yet!" Lin Moyu was also slightly surprised.
Legendary career holders were indeed legendary. Their attributes were truly a level above ordinary career holders.
Even with a mage’s weak constitution, he could withstand two attacks from skeleton mages without being eliminated.
Su Sheng now looked miserable, his whole body trembling.
Lightning magic attacks were not pleasant to endure.
He gritted his teeth and cast another skill. A pure white magic shield appeared around him.
Skill: Holy Light Shield.
This was the first time he had used a defensive skill.
"I admit I underestimated..."
Before he could finish speaking, the skeleton warriors had run up to him. Their blades burst with skill power.
Undead power and holy light power were mutually restraining.
When the skeleton warriors unleashed their skills, they easily tore through the Holy Light Shield.
As the blades were about to land, a pure white light ring exploded in Su Sheng’s hand.
The skeleton warriors were blasted away again.
Skill: Holy Light Ring.
It also had a knockback effect, similar to a mage’s Repelling Fire Ring.
"I admit I underestimated..."
Boom! Boom!
Two more lightning bolts struck him.
Su Sheng still couldn’t finish his sentence.
Hit again by the skeleton mages’ attacks, Su Sheng couldn’t withstand it this time. He appeared outside the arena.
Even after being eliminated, the arrogance never left Su Sheng’s expression.
But now there was also disbelief.
He completely couldn’t believe he had been eliminated.
Lin Moyu shook his head slightly. He thought of a saying he had once heard.
Villains often die from talking too much.
