Spirit Channeling Prince Battle Tutorial (Third Update)

Bai Xiaowen's promise sparked another buying frenzy for the Spirit Channeling Prince, but many people remained skeptical.

Dark Gold Equipment —what a prestigious term! How could a Intermediate Awakened possibly possess it? Many Advanced Hero Class don't even have Dark Gold Equipment.

"Everyone should buy early and enjoy it sooner. After the data template is updated, the price of Hero Tier might be more than 9900 points," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile while clicking on ranked matches. "As you all know, the Virtual Battle Company has the right to set prices, and I can't interfere."

Some people disagreed, and comments flooded the live stream chat. "99 yuan is already the maximum price for Intermediate Awakened."

"The streamer's getting a bit cocky!"

They were obviously new spectators, mostly men. Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, because he had the charm bonus from the Peony Behind Leaves Painting... He had a three-day cooldown period, and he wouldn't have used it if it weren't for the promotion match today.

Of course, the charm boost from the Peony Behind Leaves Painting is still quite powerful. Just as the discordant comments began to appear, a large number of comments immediately appeared to defend the viewer:

"99 is too expensive? A character as handsome as the prince is devastatingly good-looking, 998 wouldn't be a loss..." -- Clearly, this female fan's Chinese language skills were taught by a PE teacher...

"Xiao Wen's character is the best; it's completely natural and unedited, the character looks exactly like the real person, much better than those photoshopped Hero Tier characters."

"She looks even better in person than in the character." That's true, because Bai Xiaowen is currently under a charm boost...

These comments were mostly from female fans, primarily sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls just beginning to experience romantic feelings. You can imagine a boy band from another timeline...

Of course, Bai Xiaowen's charm is universal, and she also has many female fans in their twenties and thirties. It's just that these women are more rational and mature, unlike the younger girls who like to post comments.

The comments defending Bai Xiaowen were mostly based on his good looks, which made Bai Xiaowen feel a little smug but also a little regretful. So many people only noticed his cool appearance but ignored his rich inner qualities.

A notification sound rang out, indicating that Bai Xiaowen had been matched with an evenly matched opponent.

"Alright, let's start the first round of the qualifying match." Bai Xiaowen confirmed, and with a flash of white light, he appeared in a swamp scene the next second.

Bai Xiaowen first opened the battle panel. His opponent was level 8 and had the ID "Hououin Yoshitsune".

After closing the battle panel, Bai Xiaowen began the first round of explanations.

"The swamp environment is not friendly to Summoner Class, as the movement speed of summoned creatures will be greatly limited."

"However, the Spirit Channeling Prince character has the ability to Targeted Airdrop. As long as they are within the range of his Divine Might, he can summon creatures at will to the target location. This is very important and will be very effective in swamp environments, so everyone must remember this."

"The first step is always to find the enemy, then activate the Insight skill. The opponent's ID might be deceiving, but with Insight, their true class, attributes, combat skills, and other information won't lie..."

At this point, the live chat exploded. Bai Xiaowen's ID, "Da Dao Sha Ren Duo" (meaning "Big Knife, Many Kills"), was once again the target of intense criticism.

"If you can't find the enemy's location, it means they have a stealth ability. In this case, you need to reduce the range of your Mental Scan. Now that we can see our opponent, it means they're not a stealth-type class, so just follow the first step and activate Insight..."

Bai Xiaowen activated his Insight and posted the opponent's information.

[Zhuo Hongtao (Elite Tier Level 8)]

[Race: Human Species / Human Race]

[Class: Phantom Archer]

[Attributes: Strength 28, Agility 47, Constitution 29, Spirit 25]

[Skill 1: Phantom Arrow: Passive, the Phantom Archer's ranged shots will now include a Phantom Arrow, dealing magic damage equal to 20% of total attack power.]

[Skill 2: Rapid Fire: Increases attack speed by 50% for 8 seconds after activation. Critical Hit are impossible while in Rapid Fire state.]

[Skill 3: Swing Strike: Swing your weapon to launch a melee attack. Enemies with lower Strength than you will be knocked back, and enemies with lower Agility than you will be slowed.]

[Skill 4: Backward Jump: Backward Jump, maximum distance 20 meters. Your next physical attack damage is increased by 20%.]

"The Elite Class four skills. Obviously, the first skill is a passive skill, and the other three are combat skills," Bai Xiaowen said. "This is a standard ranged physical DPS, characterized by a certain amount of magical output capability."

"Everyone be careful. The skills that the Insight can see are only the initial descriptions. As an 8th-level Awakened, the opponent's skill levels must all be at least LV7, with two enhancement effects, which the Insight cannot see."

"Now here's the problem... the swamp environment, the opponent's ranged attacks, it seems like we're at a huge disadvantage. What should we do?"

Bai Xiaowen, having nimbly dodged the opponent's first arrow with a sidestep, continued, "This requires Targeted Airdrop. Everyone, pay close attention to the details."

Bai Xiaowen suddenly raised her hand.

The next second, four Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier bearers appeared simultaneously beside Hououin Yoshitsune, sealing off all his space to dodge or escape. Four iron swords gleamed coldly as they slashed down at the same time.

"This is an effective use of the Targeted Airdrop skill, which you can see in some strategy games, also known as Cross Encirclement Kill!" Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "In actual operation, if you don't have the ability to multitask, you must be able to summon quickly and continuously, summoning four creatures in succession to surround and kill the enemy before they can react."

The comments section was filled with messages:

"The essence, the essence."

"This maneuver, if used correctly, is incredibly overpowered."

"I really need to practice this... The Cross Encirclement Kill looks so cool."

Bai Xiaowen ignored the comments and continued:

"In this situation, the opponent will have to use some skills to have any chance of escaping; otherwise, a ranged class will simply be hacked to death. This gives us the advantage, and we can prepare our next skill..."

Bai Xiaowen held the Spell Talisman flat, and its four-colored light was already shining.

At this moment, Hououin Yoshitsune reacted, swinging his longbow and slashing down fiercely! A Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier staggered back. A bone arm was severed. This "swing" skill must have been leveled up to a very high level, with a crippling effect, quite excellent.

After defeating a Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier, Hououin Yoshitsune suddenly bent his knees and leaped through the gap created in the wall, breaking free from the encirclement!

Swish swish swish swish!

As Backward Leap, four Shadow Web descended, temporarily immobilizing the four Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier. Clearly, this immobilization effect accompanying the Backward Jump skill was a special effect acquired after the skill was upgraded to a higher level.

As expected, the opponents in the Platinum Promotion Match were not easy.
