Chapter 322 Bai Li Ruofeng
“Everyone, keep fighting well……”
Little Wolf said, “After one more round, we’ll be in the top 32. It was my dream to make it this far. I, Song Han, have never been so close to reaching a dream……hehe, if at least 5 of us make it into the top 32, I’ll be treating tonight. We can have a Hunan-style Feast. How about it?”
Old K laughed, “Yeah! Actually, I’ve been waiting for this mont!”
Little Wolf looked closely at Old K and said, “Old K, how co you haven’t been eliminated yet?”
“What the f*ck do you an……”
I looked at the screen and said, “Our opponents in the next round are also in the top 64. Don’t be careless; it’s the last round for today. Who knows what kind of opponents we’ll face…… but I hope we don’t face each other. I also hope we won’t be pit against Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, and all those scary opponents…”
Dong Cheng laughed next to , “Why do I feel excited all of a sudden?”
I looked at her, “Why?”
She smiled, “Because Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han and the others are considered legendary figures in the ga, and we get to be on the sa stage as these people. That ans we have a chance to create a new legend. Isn’t that exciting? Have you thought about… what would happen if you won the Rise of the Heroes Tournant?”
I was shocked, “This… I haven’t really thought about it. as the winner of the tournant? That’s too hard. How many experts do I have to beat to reach that godly stage?……”
Wan Er looked at the screen and said, “Maybe you will. As long as you don’t et Fang Ge Que early, I think you have a 40% chance of becoming the champion. Your Emperor Qin’s Sword, Magic Spite Armor, and Flaming Tiger God are terrifyingly strong. In addition, with your 6500 health, you could just stand there, let them smack you continuously for a long ti and still not die…”
Yue Qing Qian smiled wryly, “I just pray that we don’t et our own people. With others, I can use 100% of my strength, but against you guys, I can only muster around 50%……”
“Yeah. Let’s hope we don’t get paired up with each other…”
At this ti, the screen finally lit up and the pairings for the last round appeared——
Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Lv 71 Dragon City Nightwatch] vs Bai Li Ruo Feng [Lv 71 World Archer]
Cang Tong [Lv 70 Gold Assassin] vs Immortality Codex [Lv 69 Gold Healer]
Yue Qing Qian [Lv 69 Gold Assassin] vs War Tent [Lv 67 Gold Swordsman] ……
Looking at the matchups, Matcha’s face turned purple, “This is bad! Really bad!!”
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Boss, your opponent……”
“Bai Li Ruofeng?”
“Yeah”
“A Lv 71 Archer…what of it? We should show contempt to the enemy’s strategy but place importance on the enemy himself in our tactics.”
* [Editor note: this idiom ans to downplay your enemy to boost your morale and confidence while not actually underestimating them]
“That’s not it, Boss……”
Matcha was at a loss; she didn’t know what to say. Instead, she waved her hands and a bunch of data appeared. Looking at it, the others and I were shocked——
Bai Li Ruofeng [Lv 71 World Archer] City: Jiu Li City
Guild: [House of Prestige] Position: Guild Master
Biography: From Xian. A descendant of the Bai Li clan. He has very high gaming talent and has defeated many peak level experts. He created [House of Prestige] in November of 2013. Since then, he led [House of Prestige] to beco the 4th rank guild in China and 2nd rank guild in Jiu Li City.
Strength: CBN Battlemaster Ranking number 4. He is preceded by Fang Ge Que, Q-Sword and Little Demon. He has original insight in the usage of an Archer’s hit and run kiting tactic.
……
“F*ck……” Old K clenched his fist, “Xiao Yao Brat has such good luck. It’s as if you struck a hornet’s nest, seeing as you have to battle against the 4th ranked peak expert…”
Matcha looked at and smiled, “My beloved boss, do you still think your opponent is a pushover?”
*Gulp……*
I swallowed, “Can I change my opponent……?”
“Not possible!”
I gripped the hilt of my sword and straightened my chest, “So what? It’s better that they let fight this 4th ranked elite. I want to see exactly what the abilities of a peak-level expert are like.”
Wan Er stood next to and said, “This ti you’ll have to give it your all… Bai Li Ruofeng is indeed very strong. I’ve t him 7 tis in other gas, beating him only three tis, and losing the other four. His kiting abilities are extraordinary. You need to use your Flaming Tiger God when you have a chance. Then maybe you’ll be able to insta-kill him……”
“Got it!” I nodded firmly.
Looking at the screen, Bai Li Ruofeng’s na was glowing. Dancing Forest said with so regret, “Actually, Bai Li Ruofeng is my idol; after all, he’s the best Archer-class player in all of China. But right now he’s my Boss’s opponent so… good luck, Boss. Destroy him! It’s regretful to say this, but between [Zhan Long] and [House of Prestige], only one of the two Guild Masters will enter the top 32!”
I laughed, “Don’t worry. I’ll go all out and leave no regrets!”
……
At this mont, the system started transferring players to the arena!
“Shua!”
I appeared at a place familiar to . It was my 17th ti here today. My opponent was a refined expert, clad in a set of leather armor; in his hands held a frosted floral bow. Bai Li Ruofeng gazed at and laughed, “I knew that advancing from the top 64 into the top 32 would an that I would have to duel against an expert. However, I didn’t expect to et [Zhan Long]’s Guild Master, revered as the man who turned Ba Huang City upside down - Xiao Yao Zi Zai. I’m really in luck!”
I peered at him silently. Bai Li Ruofeng’s gaze made feel uncomfortable. It was the kind of look the strong would give toward soone who was weaker. He probably didn’t even think of as a worthy opponent. But then again, I was only among the top few hundreds on the CBN Battlemaster Ranking Charts half a year ago and have only just achieved a ranking of 22. Especially in the Master category, climbing the ranks was a very difficult feat. The difference between the 4th and 22nd rank was too great. Soone like would not be considered strong to him at all.
Quietly, I summoned Flaming Tiger God. The little tiger purred softly next to while activating its buffs from [Dragon’s Whistle of Thunder and Lightning]: attack and defense 40% for 30 minutes. All the buffs would be used to face this Guild Master of [House of Prestige]!
He licked his lips and laughed, “Don’t be so nervous. It’s only the Rise of the Heroes Tournant. Our friendship cos before the tournant’s results. No matter who wins or who loses, we can still be friends.”
I lowered my sword and smiled as well, “Ah, you’re right. Friendship is always number one. Well, I hope you don’t hold back at all, or else you’ll regret it.”
“Of course!”
Bai Li Ruofeng waved his hands, and his bow appeared. At the sa ti, he summoned his pet; a giant engulfed in flas: Fla Beast. It had both high defense and health. I’d heard rumors about this pet, but had never seen one before. It had been ntioned on the forums before that this was an Emperor Tier BOSS pet; I didn’t think that it would be in Bai Li Ruofeng’s hands.
The air around us seed to freeze as I scanned the area. On the south side of the battle field, stood a stern NPC soldier clothed in bright armor. In the distance, was a huge, towering tree. The autumn breeze brushed past as leaves danced around the arena. Bai Li Ruofeng stood sternly on the other side of the arena; not a single muscle on his face twitched but I could feel him concentrating on every movent in the vicinity. It was to the point where he would even notice the flow of every leaf. This Archer must have had shockingly good insight or he wouldn’t be recognized as an expert Archer!
The system started the countdown, making my heart race in excitent. This was the real deal; the most important battle thus far——
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
As soon as the battle started, Bai Li Ruofeng ca at !
I retreated imdiately, backing out of Bai Li Ruofeng’s attack range. We were 40 yards apart from each other; this was both our lifelines that had to be cherished otherwise I would die a miserable death. the contenders in the top 64 were not weak at all, thus relying on my 2800 defense wasn’t feasible; especially against an Archer which was considered an assassination class. Experts in this class would usually pursue equipnt that ignored defenses. My 2800 defense was practically nothing against a master Archer.
“Shasha……”
My Divine Battle boots smoothly stepped across the stone floor of the ga’s battle arena. Bai Li Ruofeng pulled his longbow. “Pa.” A cold gust of wind followed the arrow as it flew toward my chest.
“Bang”
I sensed the danger and imdiately stopped in my tracks, causing his attack to MISS. My heart inwardly scread danger; that arrow had just barely grazed past my nose, it was really too dangerous!
“Heh!”
Bai Li Ruofeng laughed and lifted his bow again. “PaPaPa”. Three arrows shot out, [Triple Arrow]!
He knew that it was not probable that all the arrows would hit, so he shot them from three different angles. I knew this as well, so I did not retreat, but rushed forward instead. I dodged the arrow flying toward my head and allowed the other two to hit. Activating [Haste], I rushed in to attack!
MISS!
734!
801!
Looking at the damage, even an idiot could tell that Bai Li Ruofeng could easily break my defense!
Flaming Tiger God let out a roar as it separated from my side and changed it’s direction. Together, we effectively flanked the enemy from both sides.
However, Bai Li Ruofeng commanded his Fla Beast and it rushed toward Flaming Tiger God. I began to grow anxious; he clearly intended to kill Flaming Tiger God first so I’d have to fight alone.
[Burstfire Raid]!
The tiger’s body suddenly grew larger!
But Bai Li Ruofeng was unaffected, and easily shot the escaping Flaming Tiger God with a “Pa!”. It was [Scattered Shot]! The angle of release and the speed of the arrow was perfect. There was absolutely no way the Flaming Tiger God could have dodged that!
……
The Fla Beast roared and attacked the Flaming Tiger God. Bai Li Ruofeng then shouted, “[Electric Star Shot]!”
“Shua!”
Lightning surrounded his body, increasing his attack speed. “PaPaPa” He shot three arrows at Flaming Tiger God. Fortunately, the Flaming Tiger God’s defense was high; it would’ve been insta-killed otherwise!
With [Haste], I ran and found a suitable angle to unleash my attack from. With a sweep of my sword, I activated [Seven Star Fragnt Slash]!
Bai Li Ruofeng had anticipated this strike and with a sneer, he activated [Crystalize], just barely dodging the attack.
After the duration of [Crystallize] ended, we were less than 5 yards from each other. This ti I activated [Great Realm of Desolation] in hopes of instantly killing him!
Unfortunately, Bai Li Ruofeng saw through my attack and calmly took three steps back, causing [Great Realm of Desolation] to miss. His movents and reaction speed were so fast, that he gave absolutely no ti to use [Binding Chains]!
I lowered my Emperor Qin’s Sword and used [Blade Rush]. I was close enough for my attack to land!
“Kacha!”
I rushed forward, quickly appearing right in front of him. My Emperor Qin’s Sword stabbed at his neck like a thorn!
……
“Hmph?”
Bai Li Ruofeng coldly sighed. A wave of energy gathered under his feet, and a violent gust of wind energy exploded in between us. This exploding radiance seed all too familiar —— it was [Combo]!
How did an Archer like him learn a [Combo]??!!?!?!?!?
