The internet was in an uproar.
"It's only the second round, and it's already a showdown between the two champions! How exciting. "
"Isn't it the third round?"
"Oh, I forgot that Jinghai University has already eliminated a person." (Feng Zi 'ang: …)
"That's fair. We can see who's stronger between the Psychic Prince and the Silent Philosopher."
"That's not fair. Bai Xiaowen has already defeated the opposing team's second-in-command. He must be exhausted."
"How is he exhausted? He's at full health and mental strength …"
Putting aside the controversy on the Virtual Combat Platform, Bai Xiaowen and Lin Haoyang had already begun their confrontation in the arena.
A gentle breeze blew past, and Bai Xiaowen's commander's cloak fluttered slightly. His hands were covered by the cloak, and with his slender figure, he gave off the feeling of a boss.
"Thank you for going easy on Ziyi," Lin Haoyang said.
Although Fang Ziyi wouldn't really die in the arena of the Psionic Training Platform, as her boyfriend, Lin Haoyang certainly didn't want to see her brain explode.
Bai Xiaowen grinned. "Don't mention it. I just wanted to save a 100% critical strike rate." He said this mainly to put pressure on Lin Haoyang.
Lin Haoyang nodded. He was very clear about the passive effect of Bai Xiaowen's Yamazaki Ryuji's Combat Gloves.
"No matter what, I still have to say thank you. You're still in good condition. This way, the battle between us can be considered fair, "Lin Haoyang said.
What an innocent young man. He was much better than Qi Ruifeng, who pretended to take advantage of others. Bai Xiaowen muttered in his heart. He had already scanned Lin Haoyang's information with Insight.
[Lin Haoyang (Hero Level 6)]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Class: Mute Mage]
[Attributes: Strength 24, Dexterity 26, Constitution 36, Mental Strength 52]
[Skill 1: Mute (Class Skill): Passive. Your spells will trigger the Mute effect, causing the affected enemy to be unable to use non-muted spells for 10 seconds. The Mute effect of AoE spells is only 33% of the time. Your magic attacks on silenced targets will deal 20% additional damage.]
[Skill 2: Slow Spell: Curses enemies within a large area (radius is Spirit * 10, unit: meter), reducing their movement speed by 30% and attack speed by 15%.]
[Skill 3: Blink: Omitted.]
[Skill 4: Mana Barrier: Creates a barrier that absorbs mana and absorbs 50% of the damage. For every 30 points of damage absorbed, your MP will be consumed by 1 point. The barrier will last for a maximum of 60 seconds. It will disappear automatically when the mental strength drops to 2 points or lower.]
[Skill 5: Fiery Land: Inject energy into the ground under your feet, inflicting damage to enemies within a small radius (Spirit Point * 1, unit: meter). Lasts for 8 seconds.]
"As a Mage who specializes in Spirit, you actually don't have any long-range damage spells?" Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. "That means … Lin Haoyang should have a Gold-grade staff."
Magic staffs, as a spellcaster's weapon, generally had very low physical attack power. However, Gold-tier staffs all came with a basic single-target spell, such as Water Arrow, Fire Bullet, Magic Missile, and so on.
These basic single-target spells had three characteristics.
First, the damage dealt was only the lowest single-target mental strength bonus of 150%, which meant that one point of mental strength would cause 1.5 magic damage, with no additional damage.
Second, basic single-target spells required a channeling time, which was generally 1.5 to 2 seconds.
Finally, there was the cooldown time. Basic single-target spells that came with a magic staff generally had a very low cooldown time, which was only one or two seconds. Basically, once the channeling time was over, the cooldown time would be over, and the magic could be channeled again.
Many Awakened who specialized in Spirit hoped to get a high-quality magic staff as a weapon. However, Gold-grade weapons were very rare, and magic staffs of a specific type were even rarer. Li Shuyi's off-hand weapon was still of Blue quality.
Blue quality magic staffs could also come with basic spells, but their cooldowns were relatively high. It was too useless to use them as a supplement for combat skills. As for white quality magic staffs, they did not come with spells at all.
What could they do if they did not have a Gold-grade magic staff?
Most Awakened who specialized in Spirit chose to specialize in shooting as a secondary specialty, using one or two crossbows as a front.
Some even trained their shooting specialty to a rather high level, strengthening their crossbows to a very high level, and their damage as a ranged weapon was really not low. A Gold-tier magic staff might not be suitable for them. For example, Bai Xiaowen, and Old Demon.
Bai Xiaowen judged that Lin Haoyang had a Gold-tier magic staff mainly because of the other party's profession passive, "Magic attacks on silenced targets cause 20% additional damage!" If he used a mixed crossbow, it would be a waste of this good passive.
The bell rang.
Lin Haoyang stretched out his hand, and a magic staff appeared in his hand. This magic staff looked very simple. It was neither inlaid with gems nor had any patterns. It looked like a mop.
Lin Haoyang quickly cast a spell, and a flashing energy arrow shot toward him.
"It really is a Gold-tier magic staff."
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand, and a skeleton sword-and-shield appeared, blocking the energy arrow.
"Your summoned creature, Skeleton Sword-And-Shield, has been attacked by the Siphon Arrow. It has received 77 points of magic damage and has been silenced for 10 seconds."
At the same time as the airdrop, Bai Xiaowen released two more Skeleton Sword-And-Shield, and they landed next to Lin Haoyang.
Since Insight had taken the initiative, Bai Xiaowen could not directly airdrop and surround Lin Haoyang after knowing that Lin Haoyang had a large area of effect slowing and control skills, as well as an AOE damage skill over time.
Using a small number of summoned creatures to interfere with his spellcasting was the best choice.
Lin Haoyang's body was covered in a layer of magic power, and a white light enveloped him. He did not pay attention to the two approaching skeletons. He pointed his magic staff, and a buzzing sound was heard. Three spiral-shaped missiles shot out, and their target was still Bai Xiaowen.
The trajectory of the missiles was unpredictable. Even though Bai Xiaowen had cast a fixed-point airdrop, he could not block all of them, and he was hit by one of the missiles. Although the damage was not high, it successfully silenced Bai Xiaowen.
Under the effect of Silence, Bai Xiaowen could not cast "non-silent" spells, and he could not use the spell talismans that had casting actions. However, this did not affect Bai Xiaowen much. He directly summoned the Wrath Claw, and at the same time, controlled the Skeleton Sword-And-Shield to attack Lin Haoyang with a shield attack!
White light flashed, but Lin Haoyang's body did not shake at all, and the channeling of his magic staff was still stable. Another energy arrow of the Siphon Arrow shot out, and Bai Xiaowen's first Skeleton Sword-And-Shield was smashed into pieces.
After the kill notification, Bai Xiaowen also received an additional notification:
"Based on your Insight skill, you have received the following battle information: The special effect of the Silenced Mage Lin Haoyang's Heroic Exclusive Equipment, Siphon Staff, has been triggered. When the Siphon Arrow deals damage to a silenced target, it will steal 5% of the target's mental strength, with a minimum of 1 point."
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly.
He did not expect Lin Haoyang to have the ability to "drain mana," which was even better than Evil Ghost's ability to drain mana, as it could steal the opponent's mental strength for its own use.
On the other hand, Lin Haoyang's Mana Shield skill was a powerful skill that could absorb damage, but it consumed mental strength. With the mana drain effect of the Siphon Arrow, Lin Haoyang could continuously replenish his mental strength and maintain the Mana Shield's active state.
The Skeleton Sword-And-Shield's Shield Attack did not take effect just now, and it was obvious that the Mana Shield's special effect had been strengthened after it was upgraded to a high Level. This was because the basic skill description from the Insight skill did not have the effect of preventing interruption.
"He's not weak. Since the Shield Attack can't interrupt the channeling, then I can only force it! Even if you maintain a 50% damage reduction, combined with your armor and magic resistance, which is equivalent to increasing your HP by two or three times, so what? I can still kill a Boss with more than 1,000 HP! "
This thought flashed through Bai Xiaowen's mind, and he raised his hand to summon the Wrath Claw.
Unfortunately, the Wrath Claw was not supported by the fixed-point airdrop ability, so it could only run all the way to Lin Haoyang. In the absence of Li Shuyi, the melee damage output mainly depended on the Wrath Claw.
However, Lin Haoyang was calm and composed when facing the Wrath Claw's flying attack, as if he was already prepared. He opened his palm, and a scroll shattered with a bang.
A ray of pure white light enveloped the Wrath Claw.
The Wrath Claw's figure disappeared in an instant!
"Based on your Insight …" The Spiritual Realm's rules prompted again.
"Silencing Mage Lin Haoyang used an A-Grade item: Banish (Scroll): Banish the target summoned creature out of the plane, lasts for a maximum of 300 seconds. The duration is affected by the target summoned creature's strength (level and template), the stronger the summoned creature, the shorter the duration. "
"The Wrath Claw will be banished for 75 seconds."
At the same time, Lin Haoyang used another item. The earth trembled, and lava boiled. Four creatures covered in flames stood up and walked slowly toward Bai Xiaowen.
"S-Grade item: Cataclysm Summoning Scroll … Summoned four Rare Elite-Grade lava constructs! Similar to the Butcher, they have extremely high HP and have a moving AOE ability to burn … "
Bai Xiaowen understood Lin Haoyang's strategy. After banishing the Wrath Claw, he used four lava constructs to burn Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures. For this battle, he had used two items, one of which was an S-Grade item. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort.
In the online comments section.
"That's against the rules! Lin Haoyang must have used an item. In the Philosopher of Silence's ability column, there is no big move to summon a lava man, nor is there a skill to instantly destroy a boss summoned creature! "
"That's too much, I still want to see a fair fight."
"Save your breath and read the rules of the league first … As long as the player uses an item that he obtained with his own ability, it's not a violation. These items were accumulated with Lin Haoyang's own ability, how can you say that it's a violation? "
"That's right, Bai Xiaowen can also use an item, if he has one."
Someone else helped to analyze the situation. "The Wrath Claw shouldn't have been destroyed. Maybe it was banished to another dimension. But the result is the same, it shouldn't be able to participate in this battle. This time, Bai Xiaowen is in danger. The advantage of the summoned creatures has been offset, and Lin Haoyang's damage output is something that Bai Xiaowen, a summoner, can't compare to. "
The atmosphere in the online comments section was lively, but the atmosphere in the stadium was tense. Xiang Hui, Han Xu, Feng Zi 'ang, and the others were nervously looking at the big screen.
Crunch. Li Shuyi ate another potato chip.
"You … still have the mood to eat?" Chen Guowei was a little surprised.
"Uh … What's wrong?" Crunch.
"Captain is at a disadvantage now, the opponent has an item that can counter him …" Chen Guowei sighed. "If Old Bai loses, he has to think about who should go up …"
"Oh." Crunch.
"Are you listening to me, sister-in-law …" Chen Guowei's face was full of frustration.
Li Shuyi nodded. Crunch. "I heard you …"
Xiang Hui relaxed. "From Old Li's attitude, I can see that Old Bai still has a trump card. He hasn't lost yet. Old Chen, stop talking and watch the match. "
"…" Li Shuyi was speechless.
On the battlefield.
Bai Xiaowen sighed and summoned Kitts and the Skeleton Warriors at the same time. He led the Skeleton Sword and Shield Warriors to meet the four lava constructs.
Since the lava constructs were non-living elementals, they were immune to poison damage, so the Butcher was useless. Bai Xiaowen didn't send out the Butcher, but let it stay by his side to protect him.
"You should have a powerful item, use it … Hm? What are you laughing about? " Lin Haoyang made another Siphon Arrow. The energy arrow flew in an arc and hit Bai Xiaowen, stealing three points of Spirit.
Although he had the upper hand, Lin Haoyang was still very cautious. He didn't show a smug expression of victory.
Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Sorry.
I just thought of something and couldn't help it. "
Lin Haoyang (Question mark face): "???"
Bai Xiaowen quickly stopped smiling. He hid behind the Butcher and dodged the next Siphon Arrow. His expression quickly became serious. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said,
"I want the sky to no longer cover my eyes; I want the earth to no longer bury my heart; I want all living beings to understand my will; I want all gods and Buddhas to vanish!"
Lin Haoyang was speechless again. What was with this chuunibyou line? This time was enough for him to read two more notes.
But in the next second, Lin Haoyang saw Bai Xiaowen quickly open his palm. He flipped through a magic book with a funny face drawn on it … Then, an ordinary Wind Blade came slashing at him.
"This chuunibyou line … Could it be the chanting process? It sounds very shameful … But it's all bark and no bite. This Wind Blade is only a little stronger than a basic spell … "
Lin Haoyang was just thinking about this when he was hit by the Wind Blade that came flying at him. Although the damage of a wind-attribute spell wasn't high, it was very fast. The speed of its trajectory was very fast.
Under the protection of the Magic Shield, Lin Haoyang only received less than 40 points of magic damage. He calmly rubbed the next Siphon Arrow and was about to say something when suddenly …
