“Spirit Hand!!”
At this moment, Sea of Silver suddenly roared and his left hand started growing rapidly. Soon after, a shadow of a huge black hand ripped apart the slash from Boson’s [Rising Uppercut Slash], grabbing Boson by the throat as if he was a chicken getting manhandled.
“Break!”
Sea of Silver screamed out once more, and the shadow of the black hand exploded, throwing Boson away from the impact. Following which, the two-handed greatsword in Sea of Silver’s hands started to emanate a red glow as Sea of Silver leapt forwards to hack at Boson who was still in midair.
“Mountain Shattering… No, it’s Mountain and Earth Shattering Strike!” After witnessing Sea of Silver casting his ability, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
[Mountain and Earth Shattering Strike] was a Warrior’s LVL 45 ability. Even though the ability looked similar to [Mountain Shattering Blow], the damage output, judgement and range were much higher. Additionally, after sending the target flying in the air, it would deal continuous magic damage to the target and was an extremely overwhelming ability.
Before the duration of the effect of [Spirit Hand] had ended, Sea of Silver’s [Mountain and Earth Shattering Blow] had already connected with Boson’s body…
Boson was thrown to the ground from the air and was thrown in the air once more. His HP bar had dropped below 20% instantly and it was still decreasing.
“You have lost!” Sea of Silver coldly announced, before activating [Assassinate] towards Boson.
[Assassinate] could inflict the [Stun] status on its target. Activating [Rising Strike] after [Assassinate] and following up with [Tornado Strike] was an extremely shameless combo that a Warrior can execute. Finishing off Boson with this chain of abilities clearly showed that Sea of Silver has no intention of underestimating his enemy.
“Bang!”
At this moment, however, a crisp sound was heard. Boson wasn’t stunned by Sea of Silver’s [Assassinate]. Instead, he managed to land of the ground steadily.
“It was blocked?” Sea of Silver promptly recovered from his shock and executed a [Heavy Strike].
Boson’s eyes narrowed. He instinctively rolled forward to Sea of Silver’s feet and escaped the range of Sea of Silver’s [Heavy Strike].
Seeing Boson’s reactions, Sea of Silver panicked. He immediately cancelled his ability and jumped backwards.
Boson still had an ultimate move, [Triple Slash], in his arsenal and had never been afraid of engaging in a wandering battle. With a flicker of his body, he immediately appeared beside Sea of World, landing a slash onto his waist. Sea of Silver didn’t retreat and instead activated [Charge] towards Boson. Boson swiftly managed to dodge the attack and appeared behind Sea of Silver, landing the second sword slash on Sea of Silver’s back.
After receiving both strikes from Boson, Sea of Silver finally started to panic. He leapt into the air, attempting to use [Mountain Shattering Blow] to increase the distance between himself and Boson.
However, the moment Sea of Silver was about to land a few feet away, Boson appeared once more, underneath him. With both hands holding onto his sword, Boson flung his sword upwards into the air.
“Pfft!”
Boson’s blade managed to connect with Sea of Silver’s jaw, throwing Sea of Silver into the air once more.
“Broken Army Rising Dragon Slash!”
Boson tightened his gaze as the longsword in his hands started to emit a faint glow. At the same time, his entire body transformed into that of a fire dragon, continuously unleashing countless of strikes onto Sea of Silver’s body. As a relentless barrage of sword aura connected with his body, Sea of Silver, who did not have a chance to land on the ground since the beginning, could only helplessly receive Boson’s ultimate move and was instantly beaten into dust.
Boson’s HP, on the other hand, was only left with 10%.
“Holy sh*t! That’s vicious! He managed to counter kill him in such a situation?!!”
After witnessing Boson’s vicious counterattack, the audience in the arena was stunned for a good 3 seconds. After they finally managed to process what had just happened, the audience erupted into a thunderous cheer.
The abilities of a Warrior were already originally cool and striking in appearance. Now that two experts were fighting each other, the fight itself was extraordinary in terms of both combat technique and visual appeal wise. Furthermore, everyone was starved for action after the previous boring battle. After witnessing Boson and Sea of Silver’s fight, their hunger had been more than satisfied.
At this moment, it was not just the players from Twilight City that were excited, even the players from War God City were cheering in excitement.
In the previous two fights, Quan Zhen Sect lost without being able to deal any damage to their opponent in the first, while they managed to win with underhanded methods in the second. Thus, everyone thought that the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were just a group of relatively lucky people.
With Boson’s appearance, everyone was flabbergasted by his performance. Apart from his precise judgement throughout the entire fight, solely looking at the vicious counterattack by him, one could tell that he was a true expert with abilities to back it up.
“D*mn it, this is what you would call a battle! The previous one was child’s play compared to this!”
“Exactly! Even though they are from the same battle teams, the difference in their combat style is too huge!”
Whilst everyone was praising how exciting the match was, they occasionally threw looks of disdain towards Frost Blade who was the victor of the previous battle before this.
At this moment, Flag Bearer Little Fly was stunned by the performance of Boson. He said in shock, “Within that bunch of people, there actually was such an expert? He should be their number 1 expert from the looks of it.”
“Even I’m not sure about it… but I feel that they have yet to reveal their true strength. After all, the legendary Iron Bull has yet to enter the ring,” War is Peace replied.
“Stop fooling around. That Warrior is already so strong, if that isn’t their true strength, why would they need to join the qualifiers for this competition? The Iron Bull probably is on the same level as Boson at best,” Little Fly retorted.
“Sigh… Regardless of what league he is in, now that Gold and Silver have both lost their battles, continuing to fight in this map would make things difficult for us in the upcoming battles,” War Is Peace sighed and said.
In the fourth battle, the Assassin from Team Raptors, Reckless Deer, was up against Crotch Lord.
Reckless Deer initially planned to initiate a sneak attack against Crotch Lord similar to what Frost Blade did. However, Crotch Lord took out a bag of lime powder and tossed it at Reckless Deer, revealing the outline of his figure. Following which, he won the battle in one move.
In the fifth match, Darknorth Fisher was up against another Assassin from Team Raptors, Powerful and Free, which was the player named Flag Bearer Little Fly…
The moment both of them went on the stage, Darknorth Fisher immediately tossed a bag of lime powder too, revealing Powerful and Free’s figure as well.
As Assassin without [Stealth] would be inferior to even a Pugilist in terms of combat strength. Furthermore, both of them were old acquaintances. Therefore, Powerful and Free knew how good Darknorth Fisher was. Seeing that he was revealed, Powerful and Free subsequently surrendered.
It was simply too bad. The area of the stage was too small. A bag of lime powder could easily cover about one-quarter of the area of the stage. If the map was bigger, the “powder tactic” of Quan Zhen Sect would be rendered useless.
Lime powder after lime powder, the audience started to take notice of Quan Zhen Sect’s repeated usage of lime powder.
They all started to grow curious about what’s so special with the powder itself.
Seeing that everyone was so interested, Mu Zi Xian introduced the item, “This item is called the revealing powder, also known as lime powder, and is a unique product of the Quan Zhen Sect. Not only can it blind enemies, it is also a counter against stealth. Male players can use it in battles while female players can use it to defend themselves. It is a product meant for everyone…”
Of course, not forgetting to add at the end that the item was only sold in Mrs Bull’s Convenience Store.
What a good lady Mu Zi Xian was, always thinking of ways to help promote the shop.
In the first series of singles matches, with 4 wins and 1 loss, Quan Zhen Sect had won, accumulating a total of 13 points.
The next series of matches was the King of Hill in which a player could keep on challenging the opponent if he is victorious. In the event that he is defeated, his team member would replace him to challenge the victor of that round. This process would carry on until either one of the teams has exhausted all of their members and all of them are defeated.
The order of the players would be randomly decided by the system. If the first player was Wang Yu, it would definitely not be a problem for him to take down the entire enemy team by himself. However, if a support player like Fearless was selected, it would be equivalent to them giving away free points to the enemy team.
Following the system’s roulette, the names of all five players of each team were flashed on the big screen.
