As it turned out, toxic healing was a metaphysics. There was no scientific basis for it, but its existence could always be felt.
Yesterday, in the semifinals held in Jinghai, the White Phoenix team defeated the Elite team and advanced to the finals. The two commentators wildly boasted about the former A-Class team Silver Frost, looking forward to the two teams from the Southeast region meeting in the finals.
The commentators couldn't be blamed. After all, if the two teams met, the finals would be held in the Southeast region's Jinling base city, where the Silver Frost Guild was located. At that time, the commentators would have the opportunity to watch the game live.
However, the result was that the Silver Frost team was defeated!
The Sunset team was well-prepared. They knew the skills and fighting styles of the Silver Frost team like the back of their hand. To counter the Silver Frost team's weakness, they also prepared a lot of low-grade but very targeted practical items.
Before the Silver Frost team could recover, they were defeated twice in a row. The opponent took the first match point.
The score was 0-2. The Silver Frost team finally woke up and no longer held back. They took out all the secret weapons they had prepared for the finals. Relying on their stronger individual strength, they won back two points.
However, in the fifth match, after a long battle, the Sunset team used their trump card. A very targeted S-grade silver item instantly changed the situation. The five members of the Silver Frost team were under crowd control. At this time, the Silver Frost team had almost used up all of their crowd control.
Although the Silver Frost Battle Team had two Heroes and the other three were Rare Elites, there was an ironclad rule that could not be changed even by Heroes:
Once their HP reached zero, they would die.
Generally, hunters had high damage output and low defense. So what if they were heroes? They just had a little more attribute growth. When used as a target, they were not much stronger than elites.
After the Sunset Battle Team killed two of the opponent's main members of the Hero Class, they won the final match at the cost of three of their members in the True Slaughter Mode.
3-2, the Sunset team advanced to the finals!
This result really surprised many hunters. Everyone could see that in terms of strength, the Silver Frost team was stronger. Moreover, the Silver Frost team had been baptized by the A-Class League and had rich experience.
In the end, the Silver Frost team lost in mentality.
In the post-match interview, the Silver Frost team's captain, Xia Hengyang, was very regretful.
"We made a mistake that we shouldn't have made … We spent too much energy on researching the White Phoenix Battle Team. The big moves that we prepared before the match were all targeted at the White Phoenix Battle Team. We lacked a basic understanding of our opponent in the semifinals, Luo Xia."
The moment the Silver Frost battle team was defeated, various media outlets jumped out and fought to be Zhuge Liang after the event.
"The Silver Frost Battle Team lacks respect. They are too arrogant and will inevitably lose."
"The Silver Frost Battle Team's near-perfect record in the regular season has inflated their ego."
"An arrogant army is bound to be defeated. That's the thousand-year-old motto of Hua Xia. I have long seen that the Silver Frost team's chances in the playoffs are not optimistic. "
Regarding this, the Silver Frost battle team did not jump out to refute. After all, a loss was a loss. Anything they said now would just be an excuse.
The media, who wanted more, quickly turned their attention to the finals.
The media, who had originally thought highly of the White Phoenix team, were afraid of being slapped in the face again, so they all changed their tone.
"No wonder the Sunset Battle Team is the number one seed of the Northeast Region. They are extremely resilient. They didn't show any mercy even when facing an A-Class Battle Team. Their future is promising."
"Luo Xia might not necessarily lose against White Phoenix. After all, they have the home field advantage. "
"Don't you feel that the White Phoenix team is actually quite arrogant. They also won all the regular season. Their captain, Bai Xiaowen, has been BAN all the way until the semi-finals. He is simply arrogant."
"Maybe they will really be overturned."
"It's hard to say, but I think the Sunset Battle Team will at least have a 50-50 chance."
Before the finals, there was a battle for third place.
The Elite Battle Team had suffered a lot in the semi-finals. They also encountered the Silver Frost Battle Team, who had a stomach full of grievances. They were hung up and beaten, almost unable to find their bearings. In the end, the Silver Frost Battle Team won three to one and won third place in this year's CADL.
After that, the finals held in Beijing once again became evidence of the toxic healer's metaphysics.
Due to their excellent performance in the semi-finals, the Sunset Battle Team, who had been constantly thought highly of by the media, lost a lot of standard in the finals.
The first round, Leader Challenge Mode. The Sunset Battle Team was harassed by Bai Xiaowen's airdrop, which led to the team's leader, the Dark Iron Dwarf General, sneak attacked and killed the weak damage output in the back row. The team was then wiped out. The remaining four members of the White Phoenix team easily RUSHED the Dwarf General and won.
The second round, Crystal Destruction Mode. The five members of the White Phoenix team huddled together and pushed. With Cecilia's powerful long-range damage output ability and Bai Xiaowen's summoned creature meat shield, they broke through two defense towers in the middle. Then, it was the familiar rhythm of the White Phoenix team. They took resources from all over the map to seize the wild monster soul stones. Finally, they bathed in dragon blood and summoned a large number of wild monsters. They rushed to the high ground of the Sunset Battle Team in one fell swoop and won the second round.
The third round, Conquest Mode (Solo Match). After this mode was drawn, the Sunset Battle Team basically had no hope. The final result was that the White Phoenix team's Li Shuyi, Cecilia, and Bai Xiaowen went on stage respectively. They won this Conquest Mode with a score of three to zero. At the same time, they also won the finals with a score of three to zero and successfully became the CADL champion!
In Beijing's Seven Trees Stadium, sighs could be heard from time to time. The stadium commentator was also quite regretful. The closest opportunity for the Sunset Battle Team to make a comeback was gone just like that.
However, looking at the post-match interview, the five members of the Sunset Battle Team did not have much disappointment or desolation on their faces. This result seemed to be within their expectations.
When Bai Xiaowen saw this scene, he thought to himself that the Sunset Battle Team's mentality was really good.
However, it was normal for such a result to occur.
The Sunset Battle Team had expended too much energy in the semifinals. In order to defeat their strong opponent, the Silver Frost Battle Team, they had paid a huge price.
Perhaps the Sunset Battle Team's goal from the beginning was only to be the runner-up. For this team, it was already quite difficult to get the runner-up reward. At least, they were much luckier than the Elite Martial Team — as the fourth-place Elite Martial Team, they did not even have the third place reward.
Of course, the Elite Martial Team had won the third place in CADL before. After receiving the third place reward once, there would be no reward for winning the third place again. This was the rule of the Spiritual Realm for the professional arena — not only the third place, but the champion and runner-up also only had the right to receive the reward once. In the future, if the White Phoenix Battle Team won the CADL championship again, there would be no reward from the Spiritual Realm.
Bai Xiaowen understood in his heart that such a rule was also to prevent some strong teams from staying in the Division Two league and repeatedly winning the championship.
Exciting music played in the Seven Trees Gymnasium, and a colorful rain fell from the sky. Bai Xiaowen put aside his distracting thoughts and led his four teammates onto the stage. He bowed to the audience present.
The audience in the stadium was not stingy with their applause just because this was the away team that had won the championship. The White Phoenix Battle Team, who had won all the matches in the season, was qualified to enjoy the applause!
