Chapter 191: Battlefield Skills, First Round Victory!
When the pure white holy light disappeared,
The Sword and Shield Knight was gone from the arena, only Su Sheng remained standing.
Su Sheng’s face showed relief.
His shield had just been broken, and he was about to lose.
Fortunately... the Sword and Shield Knight couldn’t hold on.
If it had lasted two more seconds, he would have lost.
With pride in his eyes, Su Sheng proved his strength to the world.
Fighting someone 5 levels higher, and a powerful career holder from the military at that.
Su Sheng had proven himself.
He decisively gave up continuing the challenge, taking his prize and leaving.
The next round would be against a level 39 career holder. He had barely beaten level 34, let alone level 39.
Su Sheng cared about face and absolutely wouldn’t do something suicidal.
Before stepping off the stage, Su Sheng glanced at Lin Moyu.
A silent challenge.
Career holders generally don’t admit defeat, and this guy was especially so.
Challenge matches continued one after another.
After Su Sheng, all challenges failed.
Liu Xianren also went up, facing a level 34 mage.
In theory, archers had an advantage against mages.
Liu Xianren was also confident, feeling he had a chance since he was also a legendary career holder.
But a military mage...
Liu Xianren lost badly, knocked off the stage in less than five seconds.
In terms of combat techniques, military career holders had reached a very high level.
Ordinary career holders really couldn’t compare to them.
Except for Su Sheng’s narrow victory in one round, no one else won.
"It’s no good, Divine Summer Empire soldiers are too strong."
"There have been over a hundred matches, and only one person has won a single round."
"And have you noticed, the higher the level, the worse they lose?"
"Yeah, it shows that higher level Divine Summer soldiers have even stronger combat power, the gap gets bigger and bigger."
"It’s really difficult, harder than any previous year."
The Divine Summer Empire showed the world through actions how strong their military was.
Finally it was Lin Moyu’s turn.
His appearance on stage immediately drew most people’s attention.
Since the preliminaries, Lin Moyu’s reputation had been very high.
A career that had never appeared before, skills no one knew about.
He was like a mystery, being unveiled bit by bit.
Whenever people thought they knew Lin Moyu’s skills, he always revealed something new.
Especially last night, when Lin Moyu again won the individual competition championship.
Lin Moyu basically took all the points in the level 20 group by himself.
Only then did people realize he also had such powerful area attack skills.
In everyone’s eyes, each of Lin Moyu’s skills was powerful, with no weak ones.
Now that he stepped up, people began speculating whether Lin Moyu could succeed in the challenge.
"He’ll definitely pass the first round no problem."
"Yeah, even Su Sheng could pass one round, let alone Lin Moyu."
"I wonder if Lin Moyu can complete two rounds of challenges."
"I think that’s no problem either. I want to know if he can break the record."
"Impossible. No one has succeeded in four rounds of challenges in hundreds of years. Even three rounds are rare."
Four rounds of challenges, facing an opponent 20 levels higher - how could that be possible to win?
Moreover, this year’s Divine Summer military was even stronger to an outrageous degree.
Lin Moyu stepped onto the arena. Soon his opponent also appeared.
Level 32, mage.
The opponent wore battlefield equipment. Seeing Lin Moyu, his gaze flickered slightly.
Then he saluted Lin Moyu with a military salute.
This was a junior officer saluting a superior officer.
Lin Moyu returned the salute.
This action immediately caused an uproar.
"What’s going on? Could Lin Moyu also be from the military?"
"No, it’s because his military rank is higher."
"Wow, he’s actually a three-star lieutenant. He’s only level 27, how did he do it?"
"No wonder his combat power is so strong. This guy literally fought his way up."
Salutes aside, military personnel wouldn’t go easy in battle.
Amid exclamations from the crowd, the battle began.
In an instant, several fireballs flew towards Lin Moyu.
10 skeleton warriors and 10 skeleton mages appeared in front of Lin Moyu.
The skeleton warriors actively met the fireballs, swinging their blades to shatter them in mid-air.
The fireballs exploded as the skeleton warriors charged forward.
The skeleton mages also cast spells.
Lightning flashed as bolts struck down.
The mage’s magic shield constantly flashed with dazzling blue light, blocking the skeleton mages’ attacks.
After withstanding five lightning attacks, the magic shield finally shattered.
But the mage reacted extremely quickly, immediately escaping after his shield broke.
He swiftly retreated, not at all clumsy like other mage careers.
It was as if his feet had grown wings, extremely agile.
When skeleton warriors got close, they were repelled by his Repelling Fire Ring.
When his magic shield cooldown ended, he immediately cast another on himself.
Even so, he was still chased all over by the skeleton warriors.
He was overwhelmed and couldn’t attack Lin Moyu at all.
Instead, the skeleton mages’ spells constantly landed on his magic shield, putting him under huge pressure.
Finally, his space grew smaller and smaller.
Just as he was about to be surrounded,
He suddenly slammed his staff heavily on the ground.
Boom!
Flames shot up to the sky.
Skill: Flame Prison!
The skeleton warriors were trapped in a sea of fire, as if frozen in place, unable to escape.
The flames raged, constantly burning the skeleton warriors.
Each skeleton warrior turned into a fire skeleton, engulfed by flames.
Lin Moyu watched, "An area control attack skill."
He had never seen this skill before.
Earlier when retreating, the mage had left footprints on the ground.
They weren’t random, but in specific positions.
These footprints formed a pattern like a pentagram.
Finally forming the skill.
Not only had Lin Moyu never seen this skill, most career holders hadn’t either.
How could a level 32 mage have such a powerful area attack skill with control effects?
Someone exclaimed, "This is a battlefield skill! He actually mastered a battlefield skill!"
"What’s a battlefield skill?"
"Battlefield skills are exclusive to soldiers, used with battlefield equipment."
"Different levels and careers all have their own exclusive battlefield skills."
"But battlefield skills are extremely difficult to master. Not every soldier can use them."
"And some battlefield skills require cooperation between multiple people and careers to use."
Only now did many career holders learn that battlefield skills existed.
This was knowledge that couldn’t be learned in academies. Without entering the battlefield, one would never know.
Indeed very powerful.
Being able to control 10 skeleton warriors at once, though the damage was ordinary, was already very strong.
However, no matter how strong, it was useless.
He had trapped the skeleton warriors, but Lin Moyu still had skeleton mages.
The skeleton mages’ attacks never stopped.
The magic shield was shattered again.
A lightning bolt struck, hitting him.
Lin Moyu saw a faint light flash on his battlefield equipment, absorbing some of the damage.
But it still made his whole body shudder, interrupting his skill.
Then the skeleton mages’ skills landed on him one after another.
After all, he was only level 32. Trapping the skeleton warriors was already his limit.
Under the skeleton mages’ attacks, he didn’t last long before being blasted off the arena.
First round, Lin Moyu wins!
