Chapter 84

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I spent the whole day writing, and my mother even scolded me, telling me to stop writing and sit down to rest, eat a mooncake, and chat. I said, "Mom, I don't have time; the readers are waiting to read it."

The summer night was exhausting. Everyone, I'm opening a book review section. If you have any complaints or insults, you can vent your emotions or purely curse in this section.

I've said too much, sorry. Here's the main content.

Gale, Spirit Arrow, and the Berserker all watched each other with extreme caution, unable to relax, fearing that the other two would make the first move! And indeed, whoever it was, they all hoped to take the initiative.

In short, they couldn't afford to delay.

All three had this thought, and they all began to make slight movements.

Gale's right leg moved slightly backward, his dagger tightened in his hand, and he had already locked onto the "Nail Bind" skill. As soon as the fight started, he would throw the dagger to bind one of them, then use all his skills on the other. Relying on the fast-paced skills and the low health of the other two, he could easily finish them off, refresh his skills, and then attack the other, achieving a double kill with ease!

Speaking of refreshing skills, this must be mentioned regarding Gale's first passive skill:

Passive: Illusory Splendor: The magnificent chapter of the Illusory Blade. Using any of the skills Thousand Kills, Scatter Blade, or Nail Bind to kill a target will immediately reset the cooldowns of these three skills.

This is the strength of Gale. Killing with any of the three skills will refresh the cooldowns of the other skills, allowing him to instantly use a second set of skills, making it almost invincible when it comes to harvesting heads.

The Berserker naturally knew this situation. Without a doubt, Gale's next target would definitely be him, as he was not a ranged class and was easy to catch. Gale only needed to bind Spirit Arrow, and then he could instantly kill him. He had no good way to resist. Charge at Spirit Arrow? Don't be silly, he would die even faster. With the help of his own attacks, Gale would definitely turn around and instantly kill Spirit Arrow, and the skills would refresh even faster than if he killed him directly. What should he do then?

Noticing Gale and the Berserker's gazes, Spirit Arrow was naturally also unable to remain calm. His skills had no control effects, just a single-target rapid five-shot, a healing skill called Spirit of the Flower, and an AOE skill called Scatter Spirit Arrow. In this confrontation, he had no significant advantage.

Spirit Arrow and the Berserker exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's thoughts in their eyes. They then calmed down, their peripheral vision both focused on Gale.

Gale couldn't guess, but what could he do even if he did? Since he couldn't stop it, let it come!

A cold wind blew, rustling the leaves, and the surroundings were silent, as if even the insects and birds were holding their breath to watch this confrontation. Suddenly, a slightly heavy footstep sounded, the war boots crunching on the gravel, making a metallic clinking sound—

Someone was coming! And they were fast!

The three were shocked and, for a moment, ignored the two opponents in front of them, all turning to look at the source of the sound—

A male warrior in a black suit with fiery red feathers at the collar and cuffs, wielding a black sword emitting dark energy, was running towards them, the heavy footsteps coming from him. Behind him was a girl floating in the air. The three didn't have time to think, and they saw the man's black sword already slightly drawn back, his face filled with excitement and fervor. The target was clearly the three of them.

This was the rhythm of taking all three.

Gale sneered. It was one thing for someone to try to benefit from their conflict, but he didn't expect another to come and try to take advantage of them. Did they really think he was easy to bully? He immediately crouched slightly, his body gradually fading away...

The Berserker and Spirit Arrow had the same thought, but the Berserker was more straightforward. He swung his longsword in a flourish, holding it horizontally in front of his chest, coldly watching the approaching enemy. Spirit Arrow, on the other hand, was much more agitated. Originally, he was the one lying in wait, but not only did he fail, he almost got killed. In the stalemate, another Cheng Yaojin appeared, trying to take all three of them. How infuriating! He raised his arm, flipped his wrist, and placed his bow horizontally, forming eight energy arrows, aimed at the rapidly approaching man.

Seeing the two already in position and Gale stealthily approaching, Yang Ye smiled broadly, speaking to Liliana, "Liliana, you go after Spirit Arrow, I'll take care of the rest!"

"Okay." Liliana nodded obediently, the azure flames under her feet flickering, clearly ready to attack.

In an instant, Yang Ye was already within Spirit Arrow's attack range, but Spirit Arrow didn't attack, holding a skill in his hand.

Since Spirit Arrow didn't attack, Yang Ye didn't hold back. Without Spirit Arrow's interference, he could attack better. He tilted his head and used the Royal Slash·Flash, charging in a direction where others saw nothing, but Yang Ye knew that Gale was crouching there.

A figure flashed by, and before Gale could react, he was stunned by Yang Ye's skill, unable to move. Yang Ye's attack didn't stop, and he extended his arm, spreading his fingers, and released a golden beam towards the Berserker...

The moment Yang Ye attacked, Liliana also launched her attack. The flames under her feet intensified, the azure flames suddenly turning pale blue and growing longer. She scanned the area, her face cold, and swiftly moved towards Spirit Arrow...

As Liliana flew over the Berserker's head, he was startled, but then realized that her target wasn't him, and he let out a deep breath—

"Sti—"

Before the Berserker could say "good," he felt his body suddenly lighten. When his mind caught up, he found himself in mid-air.

When did he learn to fly? The Berserker wondered.

Before he could adjust his posture, he landed heavily on the ground. Turning his head, he saw a face grinning maliciously, making his heart sink.

Yang Ye, who had grabbed the Berserker, wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He used the Mystic Sun Scorch directly on the Berserker—

"1341!"

Then, in the moment after the skill's cooldown, the dark energy intensified, and some eyeball-like effects flew out, clearly the skill "Sinful Eye" was activated.

The Sinful Eye skill can reset normal attacks. Resetting normal attacks means that after a normal attack, a character needs to perform a cooldown action, which is called the "after-swing." Some skills can cancel this after-swing, like Sinful Eye.

As soon as Sinful Eye was activated, the after-swing was immediately canceled, and Yang Ye struck the Berserker again with a heavy blow, this time with double damage from the Sinful Eye skill—

"1733 (This is the double damage from the newly triggered normal attack, not the double damage from the previous normal attack.)"

Then, he sheathed his sword, placed it at his waist, and used the Royal Slash·Break, the shockwave hitting both Gale and the Berserker, taking the last bit of the Berserker's life.

The Berserker's death made Gale's mood worse. He had already lost some health from the confrontation with Spirit Arrow and the Berserker, and then he was stunned by Yang Ye. With his low health, he couldn't withstand such damage. When he woke up from the stun, his health was critically low, and he couldn't fight the fully restored warrior in front of him.

"Ah..." Gale sighed, losing the desire to fight. He stood there, not moving, allowing Yang Ye to strike him twice, ending his life. After dropping 10% of the kill, he respawned.

On Liliana's side, since Spirit Arrow had no good control skills, he couldn't control the constantly circling Liliana. Liliana seemed to be playing with a fun toy, sometimes rushing to Spirit Arrow's face to scare him, and other times quickly circling behind him to give him two slashes, making him suffer.

Seeing that Gale and the Berserker were killed by the male player, Spirit Arrow threw up his hands, stopped shooting arrows, and let Liliana kill him.

Although it took some time, the harvest was good. He had directly picked up three kills, worth it!

Checking the time, there were still 10 minutes left. Yang Ye called Liliana, wanting to take advantage of the remaining time to kill a few more people.

...

In the first individual king's battle, Yang Ye only got 128 kills, ranking 6th in that match, far behind the first place. He was also quite unlucky, always being far from other players. Sometimes, when he ran over, the players were already gone, and following them was also tiring. Not following and changing targets also had similar results, so his speed was relatively slow. This also had some luck involved.

After the battle ended, all players were sent back to their original positions. When Yang Ye was teleported out, he pushed aside six or seven players, drawing a chorus of curses. Yang Ye ignored them and checked his military points—

665.6.

He didn't know how it was calculated, but it was too little. It would take ages to earn enough military points to buy a shop. Maybe the top players would have more?

Putting aside his thoughts, compared to the rankings, Yang Ye was more interested in using military points to exchange for items. Opening Hu Ke's military equipment shop, the dense array of items surprised him.

There were Bronze Lieutenant battlefield sets, Silver Major battlefield sets, various battlefield sets, battlefield survival kits, and many more. Further on, there were exchanges for other items, such as experience points, using military points to exchange for experience points, which was the previously mentioned way to level up in the battlefield mode. There were also titles, which could be used outside the battlefield, adding attributes, and there were various types, which were quite good. Additionally, there were medals, similar to accessories, but they didn't add attributes, only some peculiar effects.

Yang Ye currently had little need for equipment, and experience points were too urgent. He wanted titles and medals, but he didn't exchange them for now. Besides, the system would gift a special title to the first place, which couldn't be exchanged with military points.

Closing the military equipment shop, Yang Ye turned
