Chiang!
Warsky’s weapon clattered against the floor as Warsky leaned back against the handrail, dejected.
October Rain consoled him, "You can’t win or lose forever. We can try this again next year..."
Farewell Song also gave Warsky a pat on the shoulder. "Also, remember that a PvP tournament like the WEL isn’t where our true strength lies. When the next Nation War begins, I promise you that Warsky Alliance will shine like the stars! Trust in yourself and your brothers and sisters, Warsky!"
Warsky nodded heavily and replied, "Yeah!"
......
As usual, Soul Battle Robes declined the final 2v2 match after taking out Warsky Alliance with a 3:1 score. They also became the first team to make it into the semi-finals and qualify for the WEL international competition. No one expected Soul Battle Robes to return so strongly that even Warsky Alliance was unable to stop them.
The second match of the quarter-finals was Snowy Cathaya versus Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls 222nd.
Li Chengfeng said, "We’ll do our best, Beauty Lin."
Lin Yixin nodded. "Sure. We’ll wipe you out either way!"
Suddenly, Gui Guzi said with a smile, "Why don’t we play a game, Beauty Lin?"
Lin Yixin blinked. "What do you mean?"
Gui Guzi replied, "It’s simple. One team will declare who they’re sending, and the other team will respond with a candidate. We’ll do this back and forth until the line-up is complete. Sounds fair to you?"
Purple Marquis rubbed his palms together in excitement. "Sounds interesting! Let’s do as he says, guild leader. This way, they can’t say we got lucky with our line-up when we kick their ass, right?"
Lin Yixin nodded in agreement before replying, "Alright then. You go first since you’re the one who brought up the suggestion."
Li Chengfeng immediately replied, "I’ll attend the first match!"
Purple Marquis looked surprised. Shadow Chanel also fell silent. Neither of them stepped up because this was the qualifying match to enter the internationals. No one wanted to bear the responsibility of failure if they could.
A few seconds later, Lin Yixin answered while fiddling with her dagger, "Okay then, I’ll fight you for the first match!"
Gui Guzi nodded. "That’s fair. Divine General versus Divine General. It’s your turn to pick now."
Lin Yixin said, "I choose Shadow Chanel!"
Chaos Moon replied, "Very well, I’ll fight her!"
Gui Guzi smiled. "Next, I choose myself for the third and the deciding match."
Purple Marquis responded, "Sounds fun. I’ll be your challenger then!"
There was no need to mention the fourth match because only Clear Perfume and High Fighting Spirits were left. After the line-ups were entered, the match-ups quickly appeared on the big display—
1v1: Wind Fantasy LV-182 Light Wanderer VS Legendary Brave LV-181 Dragon Warrior
1v1: Shadow Chanel LV-181 Dark Tongue Mage VS Chaos Moon LV-180 Warrior
1v1: Purple Marquis LV-181 Warrior VS Gui Guzi LV-181 Undead Knight

2v2" Wind Fantasy LV-182 Light Wanderer & Purple Marquis LV-181 Warrior VS Legendary Brave LV-181 Dragon Warrior & Gui Guzi LV-181 Undead Knight
......
This was going to be a true David versus Goliath battle. I could already see it go down as a classic in the history books!
The first match was between the Fruit Knife Goddess and Legendary Brave, the two living legends of Heavenblessed. The Dragon Warrior single-handedly held off the enemy’s troops for 5 hours before dragging three of the enemy’s generals to the grave with him. When all hope seemed lost, the Fruit Knife Goddess had used God’s Tear to slay the millions of northern invaders and rescued Dawn City from the jaws of defeat.
Both Lin Yixin and Li Chengfeng were worshipped as heroes in all of China after the War of Dawn City. Now that the two living legends were about to duel one another, the audience’s hype levels were literally at the apex.
There were at least a hundred thousand spectators on the spectators’ stands right now. Many of them had risen to their feet to wave their arms and cheer for their idols like crazy—
"Wind Fantasy, you are the strongest Fruit Knife Goddess!"
"Beauty Lin, take our eternal love and destroy the dragon warrior!"
"Our love is all yours, Fruit Knife Goddess! You are the woman of our dreams!"
Of course, Li Chengfeng wasn’t lacking in his own fanatic supporters. Countless girls were dripping tears and screaming from the handrails—
"You must win and defeat the Fruit Knife Goddess, Legendary Brave!"
"You are our dream, Li Chengfeng!"
"I love you, Li Chengfeng! I want to have your baby!"
......
"Pwack!"
The battle hadn’t even begun yet, and Li Chengfeng was nearly one-shot by his fans already. These days women were as ferocious as they came, and no ordinary man could withstand their love.
Lin Yixin jumped off her Moonchaser Tiger and canceled its summon. However, instead of returning to its pet space, it let out a roar once before transforming into a beautiful silver rune. Somehow, the mount had transformed into a soul and continued protecting its master this way. If I wasn’t mistaken, Beauty Lin had learned a new skill after completing her seventh promotion.
Li Chengfeng’s heart sank when he saw the tiger rune on Lin Yixin’s arm. The Moonchaser Tiger’s stats still applied to her, but the turn rate penalty was reduced to a manageable degree. This meant that Lin Yixin was now twice as strong, but just as agile as she was before. For a mechanically skilled player like her, it was like a tiger growing a pair of wings.
Bang!
Li Chengfeng jumped off his own mount and hit the ground loudly. At the same time, a cyan dragon rose from the ground and transformed into a draconic-shape energy shield. It was Li Chengfeng’s seventh-promotion skill, Dragon Protection. It reduced all damage he took by 50%, and it was just as good as Lin Yixin’s Tiger Rune Protection.
Lin Yixin smiled as cyan lotus petals began appearing beneath his feet. Li Chengfeng responded with his own Great Earth Transformation and Divine General Skill, Battle Soul Possession to almost double all of his existing stats!
The countdown began—
3!
2!
1!
The moment the battle began, Lin Yixin shot toward Li Chengfeng like a loose arrow. She attacked his sides without hesitation and aimed three slashes straight at his weak point!
"What?"
Li Chengfeng was slightly caught off-guard. He always knew that Lin Yixin’s style was ferocious and unhesitant, but he didn’t expect her to be this fast. Duels between experts were usually clashes of speed, where the faster person often achieved victory!
Li Chengfeng swung the Augustus’ Spear twice in front of himself before leaning to the back. He stabbed the ground with the spear butt to balance himself and parried two quick strikes from Lin Yixin, but it still wasn’t enough to stop the third strike to his chest.
28891!
Lin Yixin shot the dragon warrior a smile when she leaped over his body. Then, she grabbed the pole of Augustus’ Spear to spin herself around and brought her weapon straight to his neck! At the same time, the blade of the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword burst into flames!
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and allowed his body to drop further. For a second, it looked like he was going to fall to his knees when he thrust his right leg and kicked the butt of his spear. The improvised strike successfully changed the angle of Lin Yixin’s strike and even caused the spear to whip her shoulder for 20k + damage, but the Fruit Knife Goddess quickly reacted with a kick to the waist!
Bang!
16266!
Li Chengfeng allowed the kick to roll him away from Lin Yixin, but no more than two meters. Regaining his footing with inhuman speed, he thrust the Augustus’ Spear at Lin Yixin’s shoulder and summoned the head of a gigantic cyan dragon around the blade, shouting, "Cyan Dragon Horn!"
49090!
This time, Lin Yixin couldn’t ignore the pain. After a cute cry escaped her throat, she backed away and pointed her palm at Li Chengfeng. God’s Tear!
Clap!
The counterattack was incredibly swift, and unfortunately, Li Chengfeng was nowhere fast enough to dodge it, causing him to lose 50k HP. Before he could recover, Lin Yixin closed in again and thrust with a Barrier Break straight at his chest.
Chiang!
Li Chengfeng successfully blocked the skill with Augustus’ Spear, but Lin Yixin’s counterattack was far from over. Lin Yixin revealed the left fist she had hidden behind her cloak and punched the surprised Li Chengfeng right in the cheeks.
29988!
Lin Yixin knew that it was almost impossible to land Barrier Break on the skillful dragon warrior, so she used it to conceal her punch instead. Lin Yixin clearly knew what she was doing.
The dragon warrior’s head swung backward after he was hit, but he rotated on his feet while saying, "What the fuck, Beauty Lin! You never punched vice leader Lu Chen in the face before, so why me!?"
When he faced Lin Yixin once more, he thrust the Augustus\' Spear at her three times in quick succession. It was his signature skill, Dragonbone Flurry!
Bang bang bang!
Lin Yixin couldn’t dodge this one, so she lost a ton of HP—
38772!
41029!
28716!
The humiliated anger etched on Lin Yixin’s features was all I needed to see how she felt about the counterattack. Stabbing the ground with the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword to half her momentum, she bounded behind Li Chengfeng in one step and swung her sword at his shoulder.
Li Chengfeng wasn’t afraid. He brought his spear to bear and parried the attack almost perfectly.
However, Lin Yixin passed by Li Chengfeng again, and this time there was a tiny but intimidating blade in her hand. The dragon warrior’s heart immediately sank to the bottom. Because Lin Yixin had only tried to beat down on him with her sword so far, he had completely forgotten that her fruit knife technique was the most lethal technique she possessed in her arsenal!
Pu!
After Moon Gaze and Extreme Break shredded Li Chengfeng’s Defense to shreds, an Ice Flame Slash penetrated Li Chengfeng’s chest completely!
58992!
108746!
The Ice Flame Slash even resulted in a critical hit, completely shutting down any chance Li Chengfeng might’ve had to turn this around.
Thud!
Clutching the Augustus\' Spear, the dragon warrior glared at Lin Yixin as he slowly dropped to one knee. In the end, he couldn’t defy fate and flew out of the arena as a wisp of light.
0:1. The dragon warrior lost his first fight!
