The countdown timer started.
The morale of Taiwan University was a little low. At first, they were full of energy and wanted to fight a battle of revenge, but now they realized that this battle of revenge was developing into a farce.
Other than Jing Chengwen and Zhao Zhilin who knew the inside story, the other three main players of Taiwan University were kept in the dark. Now, their feelings were similar to the audience in Chung Zheng Auditorium. They all felt like they had been deceived.
The three of them felt even worse because the students in the audience seemed to think that they were in cahoots with Jing Chengwen and Zhao Zhilin...
"I didn't expect Bai Xiaowen to react so quickly," Jing Chengwen whispered to Zhao Zhilin.
Zhao Zhilin glanced at the other three teammates and shook his head slightly. "Don't worry about it. Let's play well... "
Jing Chengwen nodded and raised his voice to Ke Xin and the others. "I know you guys have a lot of questions, but there's no time to explain. Playing well in this match is the most important thing. We can only win this match... otherwise, we'll really become the weak team that Bai Xiaowen talked about. "
Fortunately, Jing Chengwen and Zhao Zhilin usually had a good reputation in the team. Ke Xin and the others finally accepted Jing Chengwen's words. They threw away all distracting thoughts and focused on the match again.
On the other side, Xiang Hui and the others were also discussing Taiwan University's little tricks. Everyone agreed that Bai Xiaowen had made a prompt decision and firmly slapped Taiwan University's team in the face. Otherwise, they would have to play the match with the blame of being a murderer.
"Okay, let's focus on the match," Bai Xiaowen said calmly.
A few of the team members whispered to each other.
"What's wrong with the captain? He looks a little off. If this happened to me, I would have yelled at him a long time ago, "Feng Zi-ang said.
"He looks pretty calm. I don't know what kind of anger he's holding in his heart..." Xiang Hui said.
Li Shuyi tugged at Bai Xiaowen's sleeve. "How are we going to play this match? Come up with a strategy first. Don't get too worked up. The other side is hoping that your anger will get to your head. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled faintly. "The strategy is... to hang them up and beat them!"
The bell rang, and the gates of the two preparation areas opened with a creak. In the endless hilly battlefield, the two teams ran against each other.
"I see them!" Xiang Hui leaped to the top of a hill in a few steps and pointed. "It's at two o 'clock. All five of them are there! It's two hills away from us … "
After reporting his location, Xiang Hui rolled down the hill. At the same time, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out. The enemy's ranged attacks landed on Xiang Hui's original position, but they all missed.
"Split into two teams and go around this hill. The three of you will head to the left first. Shu Yi and I will head to the right. We will enter the battlefield five seconds later … GO!"
Bai Xiaowen turned to the right and went around the hills in front of him. He heard the sounds of battle. After silently counting down for five seconds, he rushed out of this natural cover and directly used Deterrence!
At this moment, Li Shuyi, Han Xu, Xiang Hui, and Feng Zi 'ang had already started fighting with their opponents. After the opponents were hit by Deterrence, they immediately fell into a state of fear or stun. The tank Ke Xin, who had rushed to the front, was directly stunned!
Li Shuyi and Xiang Hui took advantage of this opportunity to attack quickly. They slashed a few more times, forcing Ke Xin to use items to dispel the crowd control and then block with his shield.
However, this wave of deterrence only managed to capture Ke Xin.
The opponents were not fools. When they realized that Bai Xiaowen did not appear immediately, they did not send all their melee players to fight Li Shuyi and the other three. The most obvious one was one of the Gemini Stars, Jing Chengwen. As a melee player, he did not rush forward immediately. Instead, he stayed by Zhao Zhilin's side.
In a situation where the four of them were grouped together, even if they were controlled, Li Shuyi and Xiang Hui did not dare to rush forward rashly. The four of them were more than 150 meters away from each other. It was obvious that they were guarding against a wave of Deterrence and a sudden attack.
"After hiding for so long, you finally came out!"
Jing Chengwen glanced at Bai Xiaowen and his eyes lit up. He patiently waited for the duration of the crowd control to end. Then, with a shake of his long sword, he rushed toward Bai Xiaowen.
At the same time, Zhao Zhilin also raised his two-handed crossbow and aimed at Bai Xiaowen. The moment the Gemini Stars discovered Bai Xiaowen, they chose to change their target!
"The skills of their professions determine that they must attack the same target to maximize the benefits …" The information of the Gemini Stars flashed across Bai Xiaowen's mind.
Generally, the profession change of a quasi-awakened would be in an independent area of a certain plane in the Spiritual Realm. It was basically impossible for them to meet other awakened ones.
However, Jing Chengwen and Zhao Zhilin were special. When they changed professions, they used a special item: Light and Shadow Contract. As a result, they entered the Spiritual Realm together to complete the awakening mission as a team. In the end, the two of them changed professions together.
[Jing Chengwen (Elite Level 7)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Profession: Specter Warrior]
[Attributes: Strength 31, Agility 46, Constitution 25, Spirit 19]
[Profession Skills: Light and Shadow Contract: Passive. When you fight side by side with your contracted partner, you share your Health Points and Shadow Damage is increased by 25%. Your melee attacks will apply a Specter Mark to the target. The target will always be visible to you. (Within your field of vision)]
[Skill 1: Leap Charge: Omitted.]
[Skill 2: Multiple Strike: Your weapon transforms into multiple afterimages to attack the opponent, adding four segments of damage. This skill cannot cause a critical hit.]
[Skill 3: Frenzy: Omitted.]
Zhao Zhilin's profession was called "Holy Light Archer." The profession skill was also "Light and Shadow Contract." He shared his Health Points with his contracted partner and Holy Damage was increased by 25%. Long-range shooting would apply a Holy Light Mark to the target. The target will always be visible.
As for the "Specter Mark" and "Holy Light Mark," when they appeared alone, they were useless. They could only prevent invisibility. When the two marks appeared on the same enemy, they would cause an explosion, causing Shadow Damage and Holy Damage respectively.
How would the Gemini Stars' profession be evaluated?
They were very strong together, stronger than the average Hero Class. Just the shared Health Points alone doubled their Health Points. They had the survivability of a Hero Class tank of the same level. When attacking the same target, they would deal additional damage.
But when separated, they were even weaker than the worst Elite Class.
The reason why Bai Xiaowen ignored the famous Twin Stars and thought that they would win this battle was because … his fixed-point Airdrop skill was best at dividing the battlefield! The opponent was a melee fighter and a long-range fighter. It would be easier to divide them.
Whoosh!
The huge Butcher appeared directly in front of the Specter Warrior Jing Chengwen. He activated his Decay skill and delayed his attack.
Wrath Claw's four claws stirred up wind as it rushed toward the Holy Light Archer Zhao Zhilin!
Following the Wrath Claw's Charge, Li Shuyi also activated his Barbaric Charge skill and rushed toward the long-range fighters of Taishima University. Han Xu targeted Li Shuyi with his support and rushed over.
As for the Tank Ke Xin at the front, Xiang Hui would deal with him. Yes, Xiang Hui's class characteristics were more effective against Tanks. What was the use of having high Health Points? The bleeding effect was a percentage of Health Points.
Of course, Ke Xin could use his shield to block Xiang Hui's attack. He wouldn't be killed in a short time.
Specter Warrior Jing Chengwen's longsword pierced the Butcher's body, causing blood to spurt out. At the same time, the Specter Mark was attached to the Butcher's body. A layer of dark light that only Bai Xiaowen and the Twin Stars could see flickered on the surface of the Butcher's body.
"As expected, this big guy is hard to deal with … It actually has 600 Health Points!" Jing Chengwen said loudly.
"It's useless to be tanky in front of our combined attacks!" Zhao Zhilin's two-handed crossbow suddenly shot out an arrow.
The two cooperated well. Jing Chengwen had always been the one to charge at the front and deal a certain amount of damage to the opponent with the Specter Mark. Then, Zhao Zhilin would follow up with the Holy Light Mark to trigger the Specter Mark and create an explosion effect.
Every time the Specter Mark exploded, it would deal both Holy and Shadow damage. In addition to the physical damage dealt by the two, it could be said that the damage types were very balanced.
However, in the path of Zhao Zhilin's arrow, a Skeletal Shieldsman appeared out of thin air and blocked the attack.
With a buzzing sound, the Skeletal Shieldsman was hit. Its Health Points decreased by a lot, but it didn't die.
A layer of Holy Light Mark appeared on the Skeletal Shieldsman's body. However, in the absence of the Specter Mark, this layer of Holy Light Mark only had an anti-stealth effect.
Zhao Zhilin's eyes suddenly widened. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He quickly reloaded his crossbow and shot out a second arrow!
Again, the Skeletal Shieldsman stepped to the side and blocked the arrow.
"Not good … Chengwen!" Zhao Zhilin shouted.
The two cooperated well. They didn't need to say much to know what the other was thinking. Jing Chengwen turned around and gave up on the Butcher. He rushed toward the Skeletal Shieldsman, intending to attack.
In short, the Twin Stars had to attack the same target for the Specter Contract's additional mark damage to be maximized. Otherwise, the threat level of the two of them was less than that of two normal Elite jobs!
As a long-range player, it was very difficult for Zhao Zhilin to go around the Skeletal Shieldsman to attack the Butcher. Thus, he could only reverse the situation and make Jing Chengwen, a close-range player, change targets.
However … Jing Chengwen's movement speed was reduced by more than ten percent under the influence of the Decaying Mark! He ran out of the Butcher's range. Just as he was about to increase his speed, the clanking chains behind him flew toward him.
"My Strength is over 30 points! Your Corpse Monster may have high Health, but its Strength is definitely not as high as mine. You want to drag me back? Dream on! " This thought flashed through Jing Chengwen's mind. He stood in a horse stance, intending to take the Meat Hook skill head-on and have a tug-of-war with the Butcher.
"Eh? This hook is a bit crooked … "
Before Jing Chengwen could react, the next second, a tall skeleton figure swung a greatsword and rushed toward him like a whirlwind. The powerful impact made him lose his balance and stagger back a few steps! Coincidentally, he crashed into the Butcher's "crooked" hook!
Although his Strength was higher, the unbalanced Jing Chengwen was still easily dragged back to the Butcher's side.
It was important to note that Jing Chengwen changed targets, ran out of the Butcher's range, and was dragged back. The whole process took about five seconds. During this time, he had been suffering from the Butcher's Decaying Mark and Kitchen Knife attacks. The damage from the Meat Hook was not low either. He had also taken a solid hit from the Skeleton Warrior's Whirlwind Slash …
If it had been an ordinary Agility-based Elite job, they would have been half-dead by now. It was only because Jing Chengwen and Zhao Zhilin had Life Sharing that their HP was stable.
However, Life Sharing was not without a price. The price was that Zhao Zhilin's HP was also decreasing.
After the Skeleton Warrior used Whirlwind Slash, it rushed to the Butcher's side in a few steps and surrounded Jing Chengwen, slashing its greatsword.
Zhao Zhilin hurriedly shot arrows, wanting to attack Jing Chengwen's target, the Butcher, but they were all blocked by the Skeleton Swordsman! He was shocked and angry, but more than that, he felt helpless.
"You still don't understand …" Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly. "Your cooperation is a joke in front of me! Maybe you can defeat a Hero like Qi Ruifeng if you work together, but the trouble you can cause me is far less than Qi Ruifeng … "
Zhao Zhilin gritted his teeth. "Bullshit!" His hands flashed with white light.
Boom! Zhao Zhilin's two-handed crossbow burst with light. The crossbow bolt actually split into many bolts, scattering in a thirty-degree fan shape!
This was Zhao Zhilin's combat skill, Ballista Shot. The next attack would cause AOE physical damage to all enemies standing at the front of the fan, and it would also have a knockback effect!
However, the moment the Ballista Shot was activated, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Zhilin, less than a foot away from him!
It was the Shadow Assassin, blocking the Ballista Shot with its body. The thirty-degree fan shape was blocked less than a foot in front of the Ballista Shot, and the Shadow Assassin's width was more than enough.
Since Bai Xiaowen knew about Zhao Zhilin's skill through the information, how could he not have been prepared? This way, only the Shadow Assassin was hit by the Ballista Shot. With 50% Physical Damage Immunity, this attack only caused the Shadow Assassin to lose about a quarter of its HP.
More importantly, only the Shadow Assassin was marked with the Holy Light Mark. The Butcher, Skeleton Warriors, and other creatures were not marked.
The Shadow Assassin was repelled, but Bai Xiaowen had already airdropped two more Skeleton Swordsman, which directly appeared on Zhao Zhilin's left and right, and began to surround him.
The following battle was actually very simple. Zhao Zhilin and Jing Chengwen's cooperation did not work even once. Their performance was completely frozen by Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures! So what if they had Life Sharing? Bai Xiaowen had enough summoned creatures. The two of them surrounded and attacked separately, and the HP loss rate was still very fast!
Moreover, the Gemini Stars were Elite Class, and their Strength and Agility were not as good as the Hero Class. In a situation where they were surrounded, it was basically impossible for them to escape.
The other three teammates were completely suppressed by Li Shuyi and the other three. Four against three, the advantage was actually very obvious.
"Zhilin! What are you waiting for … "Jing Chengwen noticed that both their HP had dropped below 20%. He could not help but panic.
Zhao Zhilin looked a little conflicted, but in the end, he shook his head.
