The second match was the match between the Famous Generals. His opponent had already said that he was a player from the A-League, and he wasn't very strong. Even though an A-League player defeated an S-League player in the first match, most of the audience still believed that Talent of the Famous Generals would win.
Judging from the situation of this single match, Talent of the Famous Generals had a huge lead of 1: 1.67. However, the situation wasn't as simple as they thought, because Talent of the Famous Generals was really having a hard time.
"Xiao Luo has increased the distance between the two of them again." The two hosts were quite passionate. The A-League player on the other side was called Xiao Luo, but no one knew if his real name was Xiao Luo. He was a Mage player. Battles between Mages and Warriors weren't rare. Xiao Luo didn't look like a player with a Hidden Class. The spells he used were similar to the average Mage, but his awareness of distance was very good.
As everyone knew, the biggest deciding factor in a battle between a Mage and a Warrior was distance. Mages were powerless in melee combat, and Warriors didn't have ranged attacks. Both sides' weaknesses could be summed up with the word "distance". Therefore, a battle between a Mage and a Warrior was basically a battle between a Warrior and a Warrior. The mage named Xiao Luo was obviously very good at this. Although he didn't have the abnormal attack power of Like the Wind, his control over distance was S-rank. Moreover, it was clear that he would sometimes sacrifice precious casting time to ensure the distance between the two of them. He was obviously a very calm and patient player. He wasn't in a hurry to deal damage. He was just waiting for the Famous Generals to make a mistake.
The battle between the two had already been going on for more than ten minutes, and both of them still had more than half of their HP. It was rare for a battle between a Mage and a Warrior to last for a long time. This was mainly because the two were patiently fighting.
"Old captain, the two of them seem to be fighting a little lukewarm. From your professional point of view, who do you think has the upper hand?" Kexin asked.
"Talent of the Famous Generals is over here," Da Songshan immediately replied. Songshan immediately replied, "It's obvious that neither of them dares to go all out. They're afraid that their opponents will seize the opportunity. However, in a tug-of-war like this, the warrior undoubtedly has the upper hand. After all, the victor is determined by HP, not MP. In terms of HP recovery speed, the warrior with the higher physique will naturally recover faster. If this continues, the mage might not be able to win."
Just as Songshan had said, Xiao Luo was starting to panic. His damage output was definitely higher than the Famous General Warrior's, but the Famous General Warrior's HP was higher than his. Naturally, the Famous General Warrior's HP regeneration was much faster than his. If neither of them could heal, he would be at a disadvantage.
Talented Famed General had calmed down by now. He hadn't been idle for the past ten minutes. He had successfully tested out his opponent's skills and studied his opponent's attack patterns. Now, all he had to do was wait for his opponent to make a mistake. However, the other party was obviously very cautious and refused to make a mistake … What should he do?
Suddenly, an idea came to Talented Famed General Warrior's mind. He charged at Xiao Luo as he thought about it. He had repeated this action many times before. Xiao Luo immediately responded. He cast Solid Ice Spell and pinned Talented Famed General Warrior to the ground. This was an Ice Mage's crowd-control skill. The crowd-control duration was only 1.75 seconds. When Xiao Luo saw this, he prepared to back away.
At that moment, the Famous General player's body suddenly flashed with a red light. This action shocked Ryu Soo. "The Famous General player actually used Fire of Rage to dispel the crowd control? That's strange. The crowd control only lasts for 1.75 seconds, and it's almost over. Why would he suddenly use a skill to dispel the crowd control? What a waste. Did he make a mistake? "
Xiao Luo was also stunned. He didn't know what was going on. Did he make a mistake after so long? Naturally, since his opponent had made a mistake, he wouldn't hold back. He stopped retreating and immediately raised his hand to cast Ice Ring. Although this skill was also a crowd-control skill, it had a very long duration of 3.25 seconds. Of course, it also consumed a lot of mana. However, with these 3.25 seconds, Xiao Luo could cast another skill without worry.
Time was of the essence. As soon as Xiao Luo finished casting Frost Ring, he began chanting Ice Spear Pierce. However, to his surprise, a red glow suddenly enveloped the Famous General's body as soon as he raised his hand. Then, the Famous General broke free from Xiao Luo's control spell.
"What?" Xiao Luo was stunned. How did his opponent use Fire of Rage twice? The skill had a 45-second cooldown. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the Famous General activated Charge and arrived by Xiao Luo's side. He then executed a Fierce Chop at Xiao Luo, who was still in the middle of casting a spell. He then switched to his shield and followed up with a Shield Bash, stunning Xiao Luo. The Famous General's movements were as smooth as flowing water. It seemed as if he had practiced this move countless times.
Xiao Luo's complexion paled. It was obvious that he knew he had lost. Now that he didn't have any crowd control skills, he couldn't pull away from his opponent. Even with half of his HP remaining, he couldn't withstand a barrage of attacks from a Famous General. Sure enough, in just a few seconds, Xiao Luo collapsed on the other side.
"The match is over. The winner is Talented Famed General Warrior," the referee announced.
Warriors were very familiar with this skill. It was a common skill that Warriors learned after their first class advancement at Level 50. It allowed them to remove crowd-control status and increase their Attack Power by 20% for 10 seconds. (Note that these 10 seconds didn't make them immune to crowd-control. Instead, they just removed the crowd-control.) However, it had a 45-second cooldown. Talented Famed General Warrior had clearly used Fire of Rage twice in three seconds. What was going on?
"Hahahaha …" Jing Long suddenly burst into laughter.
"Senior Jing Long, do you understand?" Ryu Soo immediately asked. In reality, the backstage staff had already told him what was going on. Of course, as the host, he knew who he should give the opportunity to perform.
"I understand. The first skill that the opponent used wasn't Fire of Rage. It was just a skill that looked like Fire of Rage, Flaming Body. He relied on it to fool Xiao Luo," Jing Long said with a smile.
"I see!" The audience immediately understood what was going on. Flaming Body was not a common skill for Warriors. It had to be learned through a rare skill book. However, this skill book was the kind that could be found everywhere. Not only were there a lot of them, but no one wanted them. The main reason was that this skill was a little useless …
The effect of the skill was to increase Fire Resistance and Ice Resistance by 50 points (Level 1) for 30 seconds. It had a cooldown of two minutes, and it consumed a lot of Mana. Generally speaking, only MTs who were in specific Dungeons would learn this skill. Other players would either learn it by chance, or they had too much money to spend. Otherwise, no one would learn it.
Interestingly enough, after activating Flame Body, a red light flashed across his body. The visual effect was similar to Flame Body of Wrath's Skill. Not many players noticed that Flame Body of Wrath's effect. Just now, Famous General Talent had used Flame Body of Wrath to trick his opponent into thinking that he had made a mistake, giving him enough time to close in on his opponent and clinch victory.
After understanding what was going on, the audience applauded again. This idea was really very novel, and the contestant Xiao Luo on the other side was also quite cooperative. The effect of the performance was maximized, and of course, most of the audience won money.
Amidst the applause, the Famous General Talent walked off the stage and returned to the rest area.
"Good job," Feng Yiliu couldn't help but praise.
"It was just a flash of inspiration. I didn't think the opponent would actually fall for it. I guess she was a little anxious," Talent said as he rubbed his head.
"Now you can think about how to deal with that Female Druid in the afternoon," Jiang Xueyi said. Jiang Xueyi came over and said. He and Talent Famous were already very familiar with each other. After all, they were both A-rank players, so they could be considered to be in the same batch. "Congratulations on entering the top 16. My side is miserable. Why did I have to draw such a bad lot …"
The audience could only sympathize. Of all the players, they had to draw so far apart. Really …
The match was over smoothly, and the subsequent round of 32 to 16 proceeded smoothly as well. First, Magic Kitchen defeated his opponent very smoothly. It didn't take much effort. He only used three Shadow Bolts. Basically, he couldn't see what skills the opponent used. Anyway, he knew that the opponent's attack power was really high. It was basically comparable to a mage of the same level.
After that, there was a slight accident in the competition. A super dark horse appeared. The opponent that Li Huailin had anticipated was actually eliminated in the first round of the competition. Moreover, he lost to an A-rank contestant.
"It's not surprising that you're called Crazy Loser." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Are all the Federation's A-rank players monsters?"
