The drawbacks of an all-offense team
Nine wins out of nine battles.
Both teams were like this, sweeping and crushing their opponents all the way, their momentum unstoppable.
Now, the final match of the knockout stage, the tenth game, will determine whether they can secure first place in the group stage. In fact, logically speaking, they shouldn't have met so early.
They should at least have met in the finals of the qualifying rounds, but for some reason, they were scheduled to meet again.
"Seven treasures transform into crystal; these Seven Treasures Have Names: first, Soul; second, Speed!"
As the referee gave the order to begin, Ning Cong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a seven-colored exquisite pagoda slowly appeared in his palm, emitting a dazzling seven-colored light. At the same time, two rainbows shot out from the first and second floors, both landing on Lu Cheng and Xue Ling'er.
This is the full blessing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Lu Cheng smiled.
As expected of the number one weapon Martial Soul renowned throughout the continent, each Soul Ring increases its power by 10%. Ning Cong has two Soul Ring, which translates to a 30% increase.
Compared to the meager boosts of other Support System, ranging from 5% to 10%, this can be a game-changer.
"Drink!"
Xue Ling'er gave a soft shout, and her Martial Soul Possession. Her Martial Soul was a mutated Earth Dragon, which focused more on defense. Dense dark brown dragon scales emerged from her arms and thighs; a dark brown Earth Dragon with a single horn on its head slowly appeared on its back, exuding a solid and steady aura.
On the other side, the Yu Linglong, possessed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, was like a large-scale tank, smashing and charging towards them at an extremely fast speed, leaving sparks and lightning in its wake.
The two Power Attack System Battle Soul Master clashed.
Xue Ling'er's Soul Power was only level 24. Logically speaking, she should have been defeated in one blow by Yu Linglong, who was already Soul Elder. However, with Ning Cong's support, she actually managed to block the attack.
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Linglong dared not delay for a moment. He knew that the opponent's true trump card was still gathering strength. The sharp edge of that arrow was staring intently at him, waiting for the moment to reveal a weakness. A Yellow Soul Ring lit up under his feet, and two light blue dragon claws were covered with the power of roaring thunder, which struck Xue Ling'er directly.
The latter also unleashed its Soul Skill to defend, but it was clearly slightly inferior and was forced back several steps.
really.
"Whoosh!"
A crimson arrow seemed to tear through space, shooting straight toward him.
"Drink!" Yu Linglong remained calm in the face of danger, raised its dragon claws, and caught the arrow with its two claws. Then, it mobilized the power of thunder and tore the arrow apart.
Another arrow came, but the Yu Linglong calmly caught it and then smashed it.
The two arrows took a toll on him, but having observed Lu Cheng closely over the past few days and gained a detailed understanding of him, he had already prepared tactics and plans to deal with Lu Cheng.
At that moment, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Lu Cheng in the distance. While Lu Cheng was drawing fire, the Zhan Ling had already flanked him...
Without further hesitation, Yu Linglong knocked Xue Ling'er back with a single claw, then abandoned the fight and pounced straight at Lu Cheng and Ning Cong behind her.
A low hum, like a sonic boom, came from afar, as another petite figure, carrying a formidable presence, launched a sneak attack from the side.
At that moment, the entire room fell silent.
Many people have noticed the clues: Lu Cheng's team is a "melee team" (meaning they can easily crush weaker teams), but when they encounter strong teams of the same level, their weaknesses are exposed... they have no front line.
Previously, it was always Lu Cheng who would take action, sweeping away the enemy with overwhelming power. But now, unable to defeat them in one blow, he has given the enemy a chance to counterattack. Xue Ling'er is unable to withstand or even hold back the two main combatants of the enemy, so the two in the back row are in danger...
After all, although Lu Cheng's fire bow overwhelmed everyone, everyone knew that he was a ranged attacker. The biggest weakness of ranged Soul Master is their high burst damage and low health. Once they get close, the consequences are predictable.
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan held their breath, their beautiful eyes filled with worry as they watched the thrilling scene unfold.
Many disciples crossed their arms and shook their heads.
"We lost..."
"That's ruthless." Ning Cong shook his head, clearly somewhat dejected, as their team's mid-lane was now open, and the opposing team's two main players were flanking them.
"Still can't do it? These freaks, referee, we admit defeat..."
"Shut up."
But in the next instant, his body was lifted off the ground, and he was pulled back a step by the arm, narrowly avoiding the attack of the Zhan Ling.
"Lu Cheng?" Ning Cong looked at Lu Cheng with a look of astonishment.
He sat down on the ground with a thud, looking somewhat bewildered.
Should we continue?
"Just sit and watch."
Lu Cheng said calmly.
Then, it actually swooped down towards the Yu Linglong, which was charging towards it with the imposing presence of a tank.
With a clench of his left hand, a crimson fire bow slowly materialized.
Two crimson arrows were shot out along the way.
One force repelled the Zhan Ling that charged forward again, while the other went straight for the Yu Linglong Dragon.
"Drink it!"
Yu Linglong's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, because he never expected that this kid would dare to come face to face with him. In the past, which Battle Soul Master would not be trembling with fear when he met him, and would be scared out of his wits by the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
He used his dragon claws to tear apart the fiery red arrow, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Since we're here... we'll have to endure the might of thunder.
Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Might!
Countless bolts of lightning rose from the ground, and a pale purple Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet, a gesture of respect for Lu Cheng, a fellow expert.
Just as countless people suddenly stood up, looking at Lu Cheng's figure with astonishment, confusion, or worry.
A blazing flame shot into the sky.
Behind Lu Cheng, a massive three-legged firebird phantom slowly emerged, resembling the Golden Crow True Body, carrying a desolate and ancient aura, directly looking down at the Yu Linglong in the distance.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon phantom behind him suddenly weakened at this moment, seemingly due to the suppression hidden deep within the beast Soul Master's bloodline.
This shiver from the depths of his heart made Yu Linglong's hair stand on end.
Despite his desperate struggle, his fighting spirit crumbled in an instant, and his sharp momentum was repeatedly thwarted.
"Ultimate Fire! No, something even more terrifying than Ultimate Fire." Fan Yu's pupils dilated in shock. No wonder Yan Shaozhe sent Ma Xiaotao to personally snatch him away. He exhaled a breath of stale air and gave a bitter smile.
What's the point of robbing them?
In the next instant, Lu Cheng seemed to be possessed by Golden Crow, his eyes like two great suns, his whole body blazing and dazzling, trailing a golden tail, and he swung out his fire bow with his left hand, knocking away the unsuspecting Yu Linglong.
He leaped up again, stepping onto the fire bow.
The bow was pressed against the neck of the Yu Linglong, while Lu Cheng pulled the bowstring with one hand. A fiery red arrow materialized from his right hand, its sharp point aimed directly at the Yu Linglong's head.
At such a short distance, once fired, there is almost no chance of survival.
