"A little more time won't make a difference."

"Wait for good news from the second track."

"If we really win, I'll play for you for 24 hours, or even 240 hours straight!" Godfall laughed.

Having just finished the battle, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and his heart immediately felt relieved.

"So all the pressure is now on me, huh? Seriously..." the Street Little Overlord said helplessly.

"If you're a real man, don't back down. Your talent is theoretically a loophole in the rules; the stronger the opponent, the better."

"Pay attention to the timing of release later."

The "Natural Airhead" guy still had plenty of confidence in his assassin teammate.

The second match: "Street Little Overlord (Assassin)" versus "White Robe (Swordsman)".

Judging solely from the characteristics of their professions, Swordsman are clearly better at surviving than assassins.

The latter is still inherently fragile, with extremely low tolerance for error in one-on-one combat; even a slight mistake can lead to a desperate situation.

Swordsman belong to the balanced type of physical damage class, balancing both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Like Tian Ce, it's a new class that's automatically updated in the game, positioned between Berserker and Shield Guard.

There will always be people who will play new classes to gain an asymmetrical advantage.

District 1 couldn't help but worry. "The situation is bad. The enemy is a physical melee fighter, Swordsman are very survivable. Overlord can't let his guard down."

"Our choice here is indeed unique."

"Logically, in a one-on-one fight, you should choose a tanky class like Shield Guard, Tian Ce, or Swordsman."

"Wouldn't roles like Priest, assassins, and archers be difficult to utilize effectively? I wonder how the command structure is planned; are they all just lucky idiots?"

"There's nothing we can do. Don't overestimate them; they're just a makeshift operation."

At the same time.

The atmosphere in the District 33 was somewhat more relaxed.

They were very nervous after their first defeat.

Therefore, I paid extra attention to the second match, and seeing the professional players showing restraint brought me some peace of mind.

"Please, White Robe, seize this opportunity! The hopes of District 33 rest on your shoulders!"

"The enemy assassin may be hiding a deadly move, boss, please be careful!"

"White Robe" is renowned in the District 33 for his superb skills and steady, methodical style.

Having a background in martial arts, he is adept at wielding swords, and with his natural talent, he is quite confident in this duel.

This is why he chose a new career.

The match begins!

Both of them leaped onto the ring simultaneously.

Both are melee fighters. The arena is limited in size and offers no cover; if you can't see your opponent, they must have already gone invisible.

The White Robe was not in a hurry.

An assassin's movement is restricted while in stealth mode, forcing the opponent to reveal themselves to attack; the assassin simply needs to wait for the right opportunity.

Meanwhile, the "Street Little Overlord" silently circled behind the man in White Robe, precisely cutting into his blind spot, and suddenly launched an attack!

The Swordsman class is known for its skills in control, Combo, and basic attacks.

There aren't many ways to deliver a fatal blow.

However, the White Robe seemed to have sensed it all along.

His hands moved freely between the light and shadow, so fast that there was almost no hesitation.

With a swift turn, he dodged the assassin's fatal thrust and countered with a backhand strike, his sword flashing with a cold light.

However, assassins are skilled in violent killing techniques, which can cause injury with the slightest contact, making them far more powerful than ordinary Swordsman.

Neither side possessed any healing abilities, nor could they use medicine to restore their health; the outcome of this battle would hinge on a mere instant.

The "Street Little Overlord" kept a close eye on the two's health bars—his own health was still sufficient, while the Swordsman's losses were also under control.

He had a trump card in mind: once his talent "Mutual Destruction" was activated, he could sacrifice 80% of his health when at full strength to exchange for 50% of his opponent's life.

You have an advantage as long as your opponent's level is no more than two levels higher than yours.

This technique can only be used once a day.

Although it's said that killing a thousand enemies results in even greater losses for oneself.

However, as long as his total Qi and Blood exceeded that of his opponent, he had tried this move many times in the training field, and the system always ultimately determined him to be the winner.

The key is the health bar.

This move also has a hidden use: it doesn't matter if you lose health faster, as long as you reduce the White Robe's health to half.

Even if he only has one percent of his health left, he can still kill his opponent Mutual Destruction.

Although both players Mutual Destruction, the system will still award him the victory because he went first.

In the blink of an eye, the battle had reached the half-health threshold, and the White Robe's health bar was about to drop below 50%. The spectators in the District 1 held their breath, as if they could already see the decisive moment.

Life or death is about to be decided!

The entire server channel was completely silent; everyone stared intently, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

The White Robe's blood and qi have dropped to 50%!

The Street Little Overlord suddenly launched an attack, resulting in Mutual Destruction – as the Swordsman's health bar emptied, his own health also suddenly dropped to zero!

Players in District 1 were almost ready to cheer when the system announced, "District 33 has won!"

The crowd erupted in uproar, with many from the District 1 immediately cursing the system for being erroneous.

"That's impossible!"

"Yes, they both perished Mutual Destruction, so Overlord should be declared the winner!"

But they soon understood.

Although the battle has ended, the teleportation countdown still has ten seconds left.

Only then did everyone realize that only the Street Little Overlord had fallen; the other figure in White Robe was still standing in the same spot.

He actually survived that attack!

The system showed that he had only 1 point of health left.

The White Robe's talent, "Last Stand Counterattack," grants him a five-second "Sage's State" upon near-death, allowing him to retain one drop of blood and survive. During this time, any damage inflicted can be converted into life force.

This skill has an extremely long cooldown period, taking ten days to cool down.

Within the District 33, only a very few people knew about this talent, simply because he rarely displayed it in public.

This five-second invincibility was a cheat code given to him by Gao Linzhi.

Many people have all sorts of cheat codes.

It all depends on Gao Linzhi's mood.

It was those five seconds that turned the tide of the battle.

"The White Robe... Brother in White Robe truly turned the tide! He saved our District 33! My heart was pounding just now!"

"It's tied! There's still a glimmer of hope!"

"Not to mention the District 1, even we were shocked."

"Big brother's talent is amazing!"

"No wonder I assigned you to guard this pass alone; only now do I understand its deeper meaning."

The District 33 were in a frenzy of celebration, but the atmosphere in the District 1 suddenly turned somber.

"I'm sorry everyone, my skills are simply inferior."

"Even without that talent, I can't beat him in terms of technique alone."

The Street Little Overlord was filled with regret; he had lost both of his battles and was deeply disappointed.

"Since you say he's inherently stronger, then our loss isn't unjustified."

"The problem was actually a lack of information."

"However, it's true that your health bar drops faster."

"Next up is five against five, it's up to us—we thought we wouldn't have a chance to play, but thank you for giving us this last chance," Rising Prosperously said gently.

"Don't worry about the third battle!"

After the five-on-five battle began, the five players from both sides stepped onto the battlefield.

In District 1, the mage "Lucky Strike," making his debut, added a fierce offensive to the entire team.

His talent is "Super Combo," which, once activated, has a 50% chance to add a powerful attack with every move within 60 seconds.

Although the cooldown period is long, it is enough to cause a sudden increase in the team's burst damage.

The "Stars Light the Lamps" talent is a support skill called "Strong Heal." Within 30 seconds of the talent taking effect, the healing effect is doubled, and the cooldown is relatively short.

The addition of a mage to the team was also to divert the enemy's attention from the Priest, thus preventing the healer from being focused down.

Of the five people from the District 33, four are on the path of powerful physical attacks: one is Shield Guard, one is a strategist, one Swordsman, one is an assassin, and the last one is Priest.

Regardless of the opponent's formation, the District 1 had already decided on a strategy: to annihilate the opponent's Priest!

In a five-on-five battle, both sides can be without other classes, but must have Priest.

Therefore, they practiced their combined attack techniques day and night, all for the purpose of taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness within twenty seconds and killing the opposing Priest —they wanted to make the Priest fall before the enemy even realized what was happening.

In particular, the fact that they had a mage hidden in their team was a clever tactic to distract the enemy's attacks.

To ensure maximum tactical effectiveness, Priest with high spirit attributes naturally take on the responsibility of weakening enemy spell damage, forcing them to take risky measures.

When two sides meet on a narrow path, only the brave can seize the opportunity to win; both sides are in a desperate situation with no way to retreat.

The clash erupted instantly.

Both sides moved with lightning speed. Regardless of whether the opponent targeted the mage or the Priest first, "Stars Light the Lamps" had already activated the talent "Strong Heal" the instant the battle began... We must not allow our side to suffer casualties first!

As expected, the four physical damage dealers from the District 33 rushed towards the Priest, and the other side made the same decision, concentrating their firepower on the opposing Priest.

In pursuit of maximum damage output, many players in District 1 activated their talents at the very start of the battle, determined to go all in and instantly kill the Priest!

"This is bad! Quick, get reinforcements! I can't hold on much longer!" cried the Priest of District 33.

Despite immediately breaking free of the control measures and healing himself, the Priest was instantly brought to the brink of death by the near-explosive combined attack.

Their healing simply couldn't keep up with such a fierce offensive, while his teammates were still focusing fire on the enemy Priest, but he himself was bound to fall first.

The four team members who were besieging the "Stars Light the Lamps" District 1 were also caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events and wanted to return to provide reinforcements without having time to think it through.

However, "Stars Light the Lamps" deliberately slowed down, creating a significant distance between themselves and the main force, which increased their retreat distance—ultimately, the opposing Priest was still the first to fall!

The balance of power in the war was thus firmly held by the First Battle Region.

On the forums and live streams, players from the 33rd War Zone were hurling insults, but ultimately they couldn't change the outcome of the 1st War Zone's victory.

"A bunch of idiots! Who picked these people to join the war? Spreading the battle lines like that, are they rushing to their deaths?!"

"Does that Priest even know how to play?"

"This is the fastest Priest to fall in the entire tournament! What a disgrace! Kick him off the waiting list, don't let District 33 be shamed!"

"The first two matches were quite evenly matched, but the third match ended so hastily? It's a complete waste of effort!"

"Oh no, the punishment is coming! I don't want to be on the weakening list! Can anyone think of a way?"

"With this group of so-called high-level players, it's no wonder District 33 lost! They've completely lost face, and all my experience points are gone!"

The countdown ended, and a global announcement for the First War Zone appeared.

System announcement: "Settlement complete."

"The First War Zone has officially activated a 24-hour triple experience boost, and the existing weakened status has been reduced by one level."

"Timer begins!"

The players in the First War Zone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the negative status effects completely removed, players who were afraid to leave the city can now move around with peace of mind. Real-world players are also logging into the game one after another, ready to welcome the upcoming triple experience reward.

"Great! I can finally go out!"

"Let's start trading now—yesterday's losses were considerable, we have to make it all back today, hurry up and finish this run before heading to the wilderness to secure a good spot!"

"By the time you arrive, it will be too late. Our 'Penglai Island' guild has already secured the best positions and is confident of winning the first battle zone!"

"Impressive, when it comes to planning ahead, you Penglai Island are the best."

"Any guild with a brain would do the same, right?"

"Our 'Rugged Glory' server had already secured a good spot, so we no longer need to be envious of other servers enjoying experience bonuses."

"After the weakened state was lifted, I felt several times stronger. Before, my combat power was halved, and I felt uncomfortable all over, even walking felt weak."

"Team up! Teams heading to higher-level maps, hurry up!"

"Is it too early to form a team now? I want to see the situation in other war zones."

"Has the District 3 finished fighting too? We've been so focused on our region that we don't even know the results in the other regions."

"Of course! The triple experience bonus for the Third War Zone has already been distributed, and they're going to be grinding experience non-stop again. It's really enviable."

In fact, the battle in the third war zone ended less than ten minutes after the start of today's event.

The two-on-two phase is the most time-consuming, while the one-on-one phase – "Chongxing" – takes only one minute from the start of the battle to the end of the countdown to defeat the opponent.

This time, the District 3 was matched with the 65th war zone, a player server mainly composed of the Ning Kingdom.

Having already experienced one defeat, they now face the Third War Zone, hailed as the strongest region in the God's Domain, and are almost driven to despair.

"It's over, our district is completely finished."

"This matchmaking is so unlucky, I might as well just wait to die."

"Could you get in touch with them and let us play a round? Aren't they supposed to be all about benevolence, righteousness, and propriety?"

"Yes, we should contact them as soon as possible."

"Even in a normal match, our region's top-tier teams would have little chance of winning, let alone this time we've run into the number one region in the entire server."

"We also have Dragon Han players in our region. The Dragon Han officials can't just ignore their safety, can they? If our region falls, they won't be able to escape either."

According to official statistics from Dragon Han, there are approximately five to six thousand Dragon Kingdom players in the 65th War Zone.

If calculated based on combat strength, their probability of being selected for the weakening list is actually not high.

Dragon Han discovered from past match results that the players selected for the weakened state on the losing side were mostly those in life-related professions with relatively weak combat power.

While not absolute, this trend is clear enough.

From this, people can deduce that as long as one can rank among the top players in the server's combat power rankings, one can at least avoid this misfortune in the early stages.

No examples have yet been found of those listed being selected.

They were naturally unaware that this was actually the default setting for the Skyfall Game.

However, the power ranking only includes the top 10,000 players in the entire region, which is out of reach for the vast majority of people.

The exact definition of "low combat capability" remains unresolved.

The first match designated by the District 3 is a one-on-one contest.

This time, they didn't employ any strategy and directly sent out the "Chongxing" to fight.

The opponent was a Shield Guard, whose defense and health were outstanding among Ordinary Player, but he was still no match for Chongxing —he fell down before he could even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes.
