Chapter 1091 - 639 Skill Extraction Card · Lis
Kane Floating City,
In the bedroom, Lis lay on the large bed occupying half of the room. The soft mattress enveloped his body, and a faint fragrance wafted through the room.
Lis contentedly used the Mage’s Hand to pick up the wine on the nearby table, swirling the glass and taking a sip.
However, he was not alone at this moment; Risa was curled up in his arms, exhausted and fast asleep.
The light and soft blanket covered their bodies, sketching out the contours of Risa’s delicate figure, warm and comfortable to hold.
Beads of sweat dampened a few strands of hair, clinging to Risa’s captivating face, exuding an enticing allure.
Lis gently caressed the delicate body in his arms, and Risa murmured a few words in her sleep, her eyes still closed, snuggling closer to Lis.
Sigh~
Lis let out a sigh of relief, feeling entirely relaxed.
Having just escaped from the 113th floor of the Endless Abyss, Lis had been on edge.
Especially after witnessing Demogorgon pursuing him, knowing he almost reached a point of no return.
This might even be more dangerous than his time at the Elf Royal Court.
After all, this time Demogorgon’s target was clear, it was him, the World Tree Favored.
Learn the lesson, and be more careful next time!
Lis thought to himself, knowing he couldn’t rely on luck every time.
Even now having reached the status of a Legend, the gap between him and Demogorgon was still significant.
Thinking about this, Lis lazily stayed in bed.
Since achieving Legend status, he had been busy with mastering the Floating City, promoting his legendary strength, reorganizing the legendary forces, repelling coveters, researching the Legendary Arcane and Sphinx Ascension Technique, spreading faith, and hadn’t taken a proper rest.
Just taking this opportunity to relax quietly and adjust his mindset, to better face future challenges.
Lis, holding Risa, casually opened the player forum, delightfully watching the ongoing Huaxia District professional competition.
The "Divine Revelation" Huaxia District professional league qualifiers had ended, selecting 16 official teams, aside from the Four Professional Teams, all emerged victorious from battles, their strength not to be underestimated.
Among them, the Embers of the Fire and Wu Feng teams were the most eye-catching.
Both teams were newly formed professional teams, with members mostly being newcomers, not previously professional players from other games.
Since this was the first professional league in the Huaxia District, mainly preparing for the next version of the professional league, at the end of version 2.0, the actual competition schedule wasn’t long.
There were sixteen teams in the official competition, playing a round-robin tournament, earning one point for a win, and no points for a loss.
After the round-robin ends, the top eight scoring teams automatically become the quarterfinals, entering the knockout stages by draw.
The final champion is decided through the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.
Currently, the round-robin is halfway through, and the tension is escalating.
The match ongoing now is between the Embers of the Fire team and their old rival, the Chang Ge team.
Knowing the grudge between the two teams, Lis watched with great interest.
...
Before the match,
Zhao Zhao looked at his teammates, with one hour left before the match officially began, making the final preparations.
"Everyone!"
Zhao Zhao spoke calmly:
"Our team’s results have been decent, with four wins in eight matches."
"For a newly formed team like ours, that’s already quite an achievement."
"Even for a fellow newcomer like Wu Feng, they’ve only won twice so far."
"But I believe our strength is more than that, aiming for the top eight and entering the knockout stage is quite achievable and a rare opportunity for us."
"Our past losses, I feel, were mainly due to our lack of experience, especially the notable experience gap in arena matches."
Zhao Zhao looked earnestly at Mo Yun and others, seriously stating.
This indeed was his true thought, as he believed he and Mo Yun’s capabilities were no less than other teams’ star players, with talents like Ice Sealing and Si Lu excelling among professional players, but because of the peculiarities of the official format’s defense match, they often got swapped through tactics by the opponent.
After all, other teams were thoroughly staffed, fully capable of using profession restraints to target him and Mo Yun specifically.
This was their team’s lacking strategy and a factor Zhao Zhao felt hadn’t been thoroughly considered before.
But in these past intense matches, Zhao Zhao quickly adapted, avoiding easily exposed tactics by the opponent as much as possible.
"Previously we fought against Kunlun, Dragon Soul, and Stir-fried Meat teams. Although we didn’t win, it also means in the upcoming matches, aside from facing Chang Ge today, there are no strong opponents left!"
"That is to say, whether or not we win against Chang Ge, we have a good chance to make it to the top eight."
The first half of the round-robin was a grueling schedule for Embers of the Fire, but Zhao Zhao and his team pulled through, confident that the upcoming matches would be easier.
"Theoretically, we can approach today’s match similarly, based on our strength, we should make it to the top eight."
"But... I believe we can do even better!"
