Chapter 1084 - 635: Professional League_2
Once the ten seconds of invincibility protection are over, all players will instantly die.
The reason for death displayed by the system is uniformly the inability to withstand the Divine Spiritual Shock, with souls being directly destroyed.
So when these two dungeons are randomized, players can only wait for the ten-second plot PV to finish, then meet their demise on the spot, without even the thought of struggling.
Besides these two dungeons, the other dungeons of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce aren’t much better off either. The Golden Rank dungeons face Golden Rank bosses, and Legendary Rank dungeons face Legendary Rank bosses—beings that current players can’t afford to glance at.
Players who get these dungeons can only choose to flee directly, hoping that the dungeon boss will first eliminate other competitors, allowing them to survive a bit longer and earn a higher score.
But much of this is down to luck, making White Dove Chamber of Commerce dungeons the series with the highest turnover rate for professional teams.
However, the audience loves watching contestants suffer in these dungeons.
...
"The second team of the Fried Meat Team, Fried Pork Team, really has bad luck, huh? They’ve encountered White Dove Chamber of Commerce dungeons twice. Luckily, they scored well in other dungeons. If they hadn’t advanced past the preselection, it would have been really embarrassing."
"Don’t even mention Fried Pork; even Fried Meat would crash and burn on these dungeons. They’re just not humanly passable."
"I suspect that even after a few more versions, no one will be able to clear these dungeons. It’s too outrageous!"
"So these dungeons are based on the actual experiences of that plot protagonist Lis? That’s too exaggerated; I can’t even imagine it!"
"That’s exactly it. The [Ice Peak City’s Demon Gate], [Bodich’s Final Battle], and the [Bright City Great Plague Event] dungeons are somewhat better. If you spawn near Lis’s location, you can hold out a bit longer and get a higher score."
"Haven’t you seen those contestants frantically searching for Lis as soon as they see the map? If I participated, I really think I could manage too."
Thanks to this preselection, more players learned about these secret realm maps, Lis, the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, and Kane Floating City, which gave Lis a bit of unexpected popularity.
...
Zhao Zhao scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled.
This time, their luck wasn’t great—they encountered White Dove Chamber of Commerce series maps twice during the preselection.
However, they had purchased and experienced the secret realm dungeons of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, so they naturally had some understanding.
So, while these two maps didn’t allow them to hold out until the end like the others, they at least secured some points.
In the preselection team rankings of the Huaxia District, they barely made it into the top three hundred.
"Relax, boss!"
Si Lu leaned back in his chair, smiling as he said:
"Getting past the preselection is good enough. Don’t you know our strength by now?"
"Even against those professional teams, we can hold our own, and even if we lose, there’s still a resurrection round, so there’s no need to worry too much."
"I hope so~"
Zhao Zhao nodded and then started preparing tactics for the elimination matches.
The elimination matches are different from the previous battle royale for screening teams; the format is identical to that of the formal professional league.
Two teams face off in a dueling mode somewhat akin to a stage match.
The matches are 1-on-1, 2-on-2, and 1-on. Winning a match scores one point, with the first to three wins in five matches emerging victorious.
In the professional league, the winning player can continue facing the opponent’s next player; however, their status, including skill cooldowns, health, and mana, won’t recover after each battle. So unless there’s a significant disparity in strength, a sweep is rare.
Especially when the opposing team has powerful star players, they can choose special professions like Shield Warrior or Hunter to wear down the opponent’s status, allowing teammates to easily defeat them.
Moreover, in the game "Divine Revelation," the profession counter mechanics are quite obvious, so the lineup involves careful team strategy.
However, to prevent professional players from dominating, there’s no defense rule in the preselection, so it still depends more on the overall strength of the team.
Under Zhao Zhao’s leadership, the Embers of the Bonfire Team mostly breezed through each match with a 3-0 victory, rarely encountering players who could trouble them.
However, upon reaching the top 128 matches, they did face professional teams.
From among the four top-tier professional teams, they encountered the second team of Chang Ge Team, Kuangge Team.
Zhao Zhao was silent for a moment upon seeing the opponent’s name.
He was previously a professional player for Chang Ge Team, but was sidelined before getting a chance to play and eventually pushed out.
The reason he formed the Embers of the Bonfire Team, aside from realizing his dream of becoming a professional player, was primarily to take revenge.
Included in Liu’s Titan’s roster for Kuangge Team were some familiar faces from before.
Moreover, the main culprit behind his exclusion was among them.
Upon seeing the name Kuang Dao Yi Xiao, Zhao Zhao’s gaze briefly darkened.
The time with Chang Ge Team was a painful memory he hadn’t completely forgotten—being subjected to both psychological Taunts and physical malice, and systematically isolated by many.
All because Zhao Zhao and he were from the same batch of new players entering Chang Ge Team and were direct competitors for a playing opportunity.
Reflecting on this, Zhao Zhao couldn’t help but chuckle derisively.
So after he left, he didn’t do well either~
Relegated to the second team, it seems those underhanded tricks led to nothing. One wonders how it must feel.
Quickly, the match between Embers of the Bonfire and Kuangge Team commenced.
This match drew significant attention—on one hand, Kuangge Team, as the second team of Chang Ge Team, had some fame as a professional team. On the other hand, the hype around the Embers of the Bonfire Team was even greater.
Players in the Feis Kingdom were well-aware of the strength of Zhao Zhao and his team members.
Within the team, Mo Yun was one of the most famous female streamers in "Divine Revelation," known for her striking appearance, humorous character, and formidable skills, boasting a large number of die-hard fans.
While preparing for the match, Zhao Zhao saw the opponent’s public chat message in the competition room.
"Zhao Zhao, I didn’t expect a stray like you to show up in the competition. If you’ve got guts, go up first so I can teach you a good lesson."
Zhao Zhao looked at the message signed [Kuang Dao Yi Xiao], and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
After sending an "It’s a deal," Zhao Zhao turned to Mo Yun and said:
"Mo Yun, you go first!"
"Um~ Hmm?"
Mo Yun instinctively agreed to Zhao Zhao’s arrangement, then noticed something awry.
"Didn’t you agree to go first with him? Why let me go first?"
"Don’t you know, that guy loves playing tricks like these."
Zhao Zhao shook his head and mocked:
"He wasn’t my match back then; otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to such underhanded tactics."
"Now, challenging me to the first match clearly shows he knows the elimination isn’t a defense round, so he’s trying to avoid me. A show-off like him will surely go second."
"You go first; I’ll go second; Si Lu and Ice Seal go third."
"I aim to beat them 3-0!"
"Alright, whatever you say!"
"Let’s beat them!"
Mo Yun, knowing Zhao Zhao’s past, quickly patted her generous chest and agreed.
Soon, the match officially began.
Seeing Mo Yun, the female streamer, come up first from the Embers of the Bonfire team, Kuang Dao Yi Xiao’s face instantly darkened.
And when Mo Yun convincingly won the first match, and Kuang Dao Yi Xiao saw Zhao Zhao on his screen in the second match, his face turned as dark as a pot’s bottom.
"Kuang Dao, playing these tricks is pointless."
Zhao Zhao, staring across at Kuang Dao Yi Xiao, felt a long-forgotten excitement return, as he licked his lips and said:
"Today I’ll show you, I was always stronger than you, and you’ll never surpass me!"
He immediately rushed forward with two puppets, aggressively overwhelming him.
