chapter 23: arena battle challenge

This time, the officially updated 24 weapons happen to include the 24 major schools.

As a professional player, you must not only understand the weapon changes of your own school but also know what additional skills are added to the weapons of other schools, so when an opponent uses a skill during the battle, you wouldn’t be standing like a sitting prey, confused.

Qin Ye made an appointment with Lu Xiang to fight but after sending the message to the group, he didn’t respond for a long time.

Qin Ye had to call him again: “Flying Deer Warrior, where are you?”

Lu Xiang quickly replied: “Will come. I’m still eating noodles. Wait for me to finish the noodles…”

Speechless, Qin Ye sent a QQ expression expressing his impatience: “Hurry up and eat!”

Xiao Sijing suddenly said: “Why don’t I come first?”

As soon as Captain Xiao sent this message, the group immediately boiled over*.

* Become very excited

“Wow! Wow! Are they really going to fight?”

“Captain Xiao and Vice-Captain Qin are fighting? Requesting to stand and watch!”

“Can we really stand and watch?!”

“Bystanders, line up!”

Xiao Sijing and Qin Ye are also regarded as one of the oldest masters in the professional circle, being in the same era as Liu Chuan. They both started playing during their youth and now 5 years and 9 seasons have passed. They have experienced a lot of ups and downs. Nowadays, as a captain-level figure, the players who have just entered the circle and the young people in the training camp naturally admire and respect the attitude of these seniors.

Xiao Sijing and Qin Ye were really going to fight. The new players wanted to watch and they lined up like bystanders, just like children waiting for their elders to give out candy to eat.”

Xiao Sijing said calmly: “If you are interested in watching, the arena number is 1780 and the password is 78789. Remember to change into invisible when you go online.”

At the same time, a group of professional players immediately went online, and quickly went to the arena to enter the room to watch the fight.

At this time, Qin Ye and Xiao Sijing had already exchanged a number of moves.

Both Shaolin Fist and Emei Claw are melee positions. Shaolin Fists are mainly for close-quarters combat, relying on strong field control skills such as Back Wrestling and Grabbing. On the other hand, Claw Emei is more like an agile assassin, relying on High Dodge to avoid the opponent’s attack and using Nine Yin White Bone Claw to produce bleeding effects to restrain the opponent.

Falling Thousand Swing! Arhat Fist! Ethereal Claw! Dead White Silk Claw!

The speed of the skill release is extremely fast, making the golden and white light effects clash together, which was simply a feast for the eyes!

Naturally, when two melee positions fight, there’s no need to go in circles and play hide and seek, instead, they immediately fight in close combat without saying a word!

Melee combat gives people a carefree and unrestrained feeling.

The joy of seeing blood, coupled with the extremely fast hand speed, this single-player arena match became quite intense and the new weapon’s big move also made these new group of newcomers feel extremely stunned and amazed.

——Worthy of being a captain-level god! Worthy of being the representative of the school!

The damage calculation, grasp of skills, attack, evasion, control, and counter-control, the convergence of these movements were natural and flowing just like a top-notch blockbuster!

The group of bystanders was stunned and a lot of newcomers who couldn’t keep up with the exchange of skills secretly turned on the video, wanting to record it and study it slowly…

Five minutes later, Qin Ye won by a small margin, only having about 100 blood left. The main reason is that the blood loss effect attached to the new Emei weapon is relatively fierce. It could be said that the winning rate of the two people is actually 50-50, if they fought equally and relied on on-the-spot actions.

This kind of private appointment in the ring is mainly based on mutual learning. Everyone will not do their best and won’t care much about the outcome.

After the fight, Xiao Sijing simply retreated from the arena and asked: “Has Lu Xiang finished eating? Come and fight.”

A member of the Bronze Sparrow Team said weakly: “Just finished the second bowl and is starting to eat a third bowl…”

Qin Ye was speechless: “Is he a pig?”

Xiao Sijing said, “Well, the little boy is still growing up.”

Everyone laughed.

Lu Xiang is a foodie and he eats a lot every day. Probably because he was still growing? When Liu Chuan saw him, the child was less than 1.6 meters tall and now he is 168… but he seems to have stopped growing at 168. The poor baby who is less than 1.7 meters is secretly nicknamed “Little One” by many people because of his height.

Since Lu Xiang was still eating noodles, Xiao Sijing said, “How about fighting Wheel of Reincarnation?”

Su Shilun was originally watching with his big spider next to him but he was suddenly called by his own captain so he typed in reply: “Then I’ll come. Goddess Ye Se, please be merciful ^_^”

Qin Ye rolled his eyes. “Don’t mention it. With you coming to dress so beautifully, don’t let the ugly clothes affect the mood of the game.”

Everyone laughed again.

Qin Ye and Su Shilun are both players with poisonous tongues but the style of the two are very different. Qin Ye has a crisp and frank kind of poisonous tongue, making people cower with his words. Su Shilun likes to taunt people with a ^_^ face but he pokes you in the heart with every word he speaks.

The two of them clashed words, which was like a real fight with a real knife and a real gun.

Qin Ye typed in the room channel: “Have you changed your clothes? How many times do you want to change?”

Su Shilun sent a smiley face: “Why are you in such a hurry? I’ll be there to abuse you soon, wait for me! ^_^”

When it comes to close-quarters combat, no one is better than the Poisonous’ Gu School and the Claw School. In fact, top-level professional players have a 50-50 winning rate in the arena, unless they encounter a particularly difficult school or another top-level opponent appears.

In regular professional league tournaments, the first round is an individual duel so it’s advantageous to know how to arrange the sequence of players properly.

Su Shilun has fought hand to hand against Liu Chuan and Qin Ye in the arena a lot of times. Official statistics show that Su Shilun, the strongest Five Poisons’ Gu Master, Wheel of Reincarnation–his winning rate against Liu Chuan is 46% and against Qin Ye is 55%.

Su Shilun and Qin Ye fought for eight minutes. Long-range melee combat requires a lot of light steps and consumes more time than mere melee combat. In the end, Su Shilun won and when Qin Ye died, Su Shilun only had 100 to 200 blood left.

After Qin Ye lost, he simply said, “Who wants to fight next?”

“I’m done! I’ll do it!”

Finally, after eating three bowls of noodles, Lu Xiang had a full stomach and jumped into the arena: “Wheel God, it’s been a while! Your clothes are very beautiful!”

Around them, the group of professional players was laughing again.

Su Shilun is an appearance-con, wearing fashionable Five Poison clothes every day. Fighting with Su Shilun and mocking the clothing problems has already become a daily routine in the professional circle.

Su Shilun didn’t bother to answer him, summoning a poisonous snake to bite him directly.

Lu Xiang said: “I hate fighting with you the most! There are too many pets with Five Poisons. It’s troublesome!”

The Beggars are quite similar to the Shaolin. They are both close combat fighting positions. Shaolin is more stable while the beggars are more flexible, however, no one dared to underestimate Lu Xiang on the battlefield. After all, the name Beggar God is not for nothing.

However, Lu Xiang didn’t look like a great god at all. He is too young and he always feels like he has not grown up yet, but on the other hand, as the vice-captain of the Bronze Sparrow Team, he speaks simply and frankly. Since the little boy only concentrates on playing the game, he is not deeply involved in the circle and doesn’t understand the circle very well. He has also made a lot of jokes in front of the media…

Fans think that the talented boy is very sharp but the great gods who are familiar with him in the professional circle regard him as a younger brother next door.

Extremely young, looking very small like children who have not grown up yet.

Besides, what seniority…?

He is Liu Chuan's apprentice while Su Shilun, Xiao Sijing, and Qin Ye are from the same generation as Liu Chuan.

Five minutes later, Su Shilun was defeated and Lu Xiang typed happily: “Wheel God, you lost! Throw yourself into Captain Xiao’s arms and cry and let him comfort you!”

Su Shilun: “......”

Xiao Sijing: “......”

The Seven Star Grass team members’ faces collectively had a black line*.

* Something like this

(Image: Picture)

Vice-Captain Su Shilun and Captain Xiao Sijing’s seats were next to each other. Lu Xiang said to “Throw yourself into Captain Xiao’s arms and cry.” making Su Shilun quite embarrassed in front of the other players and his ears were slightly red.

Xiao Sijing glanced back at Su Shilun and said, “Don’t mind the child’s words.”

Su Shilun also smiled and his poisonous tongue came out: “I really won’t mind his words. Lu Xiang, is, after all, a child. He’s growing in age but his height has not grown at all. He eats so much every day… I really don’t know where the nutrition goes.”

There was a burst of laughter in the training room.

Of course, Lu Xiang didn't hear the Seven Star Grass Team talking about him, and continued typing on the arena channel: “Who wants to go next? Captain Tang, Captain Tang, I saw you, come down and play a game.”

Captain Tang, who didn’t expect to be shot while lying down: “......”

Captain Tang quickly defeated Lu Xiang, who ran back to the audience to watch.

The arena wheel battle match was played for more than an hour. Professional players of all major genres who wanted to test the water went down and fought. Anyway, there was no need to worry about exposing the tactics of the team in an individual battle. In addition, most people can’t do their best all the time so it’s mostly to try the effect of weapons and learn from each other.

Everyone exchanged blows and fought against different schools. Lu Xiang suddenly spoke up: “Is there no one from the Tangmen Puppet School who wants to go up there and fight?”

As soon as those words came out, everyone fell silent.

Professional players know that the sharpest representative for the Puppet School is Liu Chuan. Unfortunately, he quietly left the professional league as early as half a year ago. There were very few people who could play this school well and after Liu Chuan left, the Puppet School had a sense of desolation with no successor to continue its legacy.

Amazing players have emerged in the professional circles of various major schools but the Puppet School figure is becoming rarer and rarer in the field.

Liu Chuan once said to Li Xiang that the Shaolin is a profession that needs to look at the entire field. In fact, the Puppet School is the most difficult profession to use when trying to grasp the entire battlefield.

Tangmen’s Puppet School is a multi-directional control school If the control isn’t good then it’s likely to become an obstacle to your teammates. For example, your teammate is about to go in a certain direction and you happened to put a puppet over there, blocking the sight of your teammates. This kind of unexpected mishap has happened before simply giving points to the opponents.

Therefore, unless the player is a master, many teams wouldn’t use the Tangmen Puppet, changing it to a more stable school. Most of the players in the Puppet School are cultivated by the team in order to have a trump card and are occasionally sent to fight in the individual duel. Thus, the probability of the Puppet School appearing in the group battle is very small.

Lu Xiang was a brainless person and he didn’t notice that the atmosphere changed at all. He continued to say in the arena: “Is there no one coming from the Puppet School? Come try the new weapon! Are people from the Huaxia Team here? My master is gone, is there no Tangmen Puppet School from the Huaxia Team to take over?”

Everyone: “......”

You’re really touching a sore spot*!

* Phrase used is “mention the pot that doesn’t boil”

The bystanders from the Huaxia Team wanted to vomit blood.

Before anyone could react, the little boy jumped in the middle of the arena and asked suspiciously: “Aren’t there a lot of people playing Tangmen Puppet in the professional circle? Why isn’t anyone fighting?”

Everyone: “......”

Lu Xiang continued: “It’s okay if it’s a newcomer. Come fight with me!”

The newcomers expressed that they were flattered but… even if Lu Xiang was young, he still had the status of “Beggar God” and his reputation as the vice-captain of the Bronze Sparrow Team. Almost all the players who came to fight in the arena today were great gods making the newcomers embarrassed to go.

Several newcomers who played the Puppet School looked at each other, not knowing what to do, making the situation fall into an embarrassing stalemate…

At this moment, two lines suddenly appeared in the arena—--

“Hehe…”

“Lu Xiang, you seem to miss me too much. I’m a little embarrassed to abuse you.”
