When Flaming Arm was less than 10 yards away from Fierce Snake, he suddenly bellowed. Flaming Arm raised his shield.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden glow enveloped Flaming Arm's body, transforming into divine blades that spun around him.
Tier 1 Skill, Divine Storm!
When activated, Divine Storm would deal holy damage to all targets within an 8-yard radius three times. Each attack would deal 130% of the player's Strength and 200% weapon damage.
"Flaming Arm really is merciless. He's using his signature move right off the bat. First, he's using Divine Storm to lure his opponent into dodging and blocking. In reality, the real killing move is Divine Judgment, which he'll use once his opponent is defenseless."
"That's right! Flaming Arm relied on Divine Judgment, an undodgeable Skill, to survive all the way to the qualifiers in the last competition. "
The players below the stage, who were familiar with Flaming Arm, looked at Fierce Snake with pity.
Although Flaming Arm looked like a Guardian Knight, in reality, he had allocated most of his Free Attribute Points to Strength. Moreover, the Attribute Gemstones he had socketed were all Strength Gemstones. He could be considered a pure DPS, not an MT.
In terms of Strength, he could rival a top-tier Berserker of the same level. In addition, his Berserk Skill mainly increased his Strength, increasing his Strength by 100%. Even a top-tier Berserker of the same level wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Seeing Flaming Arm charging at Fierce Snake without any hesitation, Fierce Snake used Power of Darkness, and a faint, black fog enveloped his body. He then swung the greatsword in his hand, which flashed with lightning.
Whirlwind Slash!
Suddenly, a black storm rose from the ground.
"You're courting death!" Flaming Arm sneered as he charged even more ferociously.
In the next moment, the black storm collided with the golden storm, creating a powerful shockwave that spread throughout the stage.
As the storm dissipated, the spectating crowd below the stage was stupefied.
"How is this possible?! He actually blocked Flaming Arm's attack!"
"Fierce Snake's Strength is amazing!"
Flaming Arm was a famed strength-type Guardian Knight. Very few players could block his attacks. As long as Fierce Snake blocked the first wave of attacks and maintained his optimal posture, Flaming Arm wouldn't have a chance to execute Divine Judgment.
However, compared to the crowd below the stage, Flaming Arm wore a grim expression as he stared at Fierce Snake.
In their previous clash, Fierce Snake had only been forced back one step. However, Shi Feng had been forced back three steps, losing over 500 HP. The difference in Strength between the two sides was obvious.
"How can he be so strong?"
Flaming Arm couldn't believe his eyes. For this competition, the adventurer team had lent him an Epic wristguard, which had increased his Strength by a significant margin. He even thought that he had a chance to rank within the top 100 of the competition's ranking competition.
Now, he had lost to an unknown Berserker in terms of Strength.
The All-rounded Device the Guild Leader gave me is amazing! Fierce Snake could not help his surprise when he saw the Skill Completion Rate displayed on the system panel.
In reality, Shi Feng's Strength Attribute wasn't much higher than Flaming Arm's. The only reason for such a large difference was the Skill Completion Rate he had used.
Just now, he had executed Whirlwind Slash with a 90% Completion Rate. This was also the first time he had executed Whirlwind Slash so smoothly. Meanwhile, as long as a Skill's Completion Rate exceeded 85%, every 1% increase would increase the Skill's power by a significant margin. Not to mention reaching 90%, the Skill would undergo a qualitative transformation.
Naturally, Flaming Arm would struggle to block Shi Feng's attacks.
Since Strength isn't enough, let's see who can outlast the other! Flaming Arm quickly calmed himself. Immediately, he changed his combat style and chose to fight a battle of attrition. After activating Protection Blessing, he ignored all defensive measures and attacked his opponent madly.
Protection Blessing reduced the damage he received by half. Even if there was a difference in Strength, the outcome of a clash would be very disadvantageous for a Berserker without a Damage Reduction Skill.
However, just as everyone thought that Fierce Snake would retreat, not only did the Berserker not retreat, but he even took the initiative to meet his opponent.
"Is there something wrong with his head?! He clearly has the advantage! All he needs to do is buy some time! Isn't he just asking for death?! "
Everyone was confused by Fierce Snake's actions.
In the next moment, Fierce Snake and Flaming Arm traded blows back and forth on the stage, each of them trying to defend against the other's attacks. Compared to the Berserker, the Guardian Knight's shield was far easier to defend against. With just a slight movement, the Guardian Knight's shield could defend a large area. On the other hand, the Berserker's greatsword could only defend a small area.
Moreover, the difference between the two sides' damage was obvious. Even when Fierce Snake's greatsword struck Flaming Arm, his normal attacks only dealt around -3,000 damage. On the other hand, Flaming Arm's attacks dealt over -6,000 damage. In terms of HP, Flaming Arm had over 80,000, while Fierce Snake only had 70,000. There was a difference of 10,000 between the two.
When Fierce Snake's HP fell to half, Flaming Arm still had over two-thirds of his HP.
However, the longer Flaming Arm fought, the more surprised he became. As they exchanged blows, Fierce Snake's combat standards improved at an incredible rate. Moreover, the longer they fought, the more proficient Flaming Arm became. On the other hand, Fierce Snake's attacks became increasingly easier.
After fighting for less than five seconds, Fierce Snake had less than one-third of his HP remaining, while Flaming Arm only had one-third of his HP remaining.
"Crap! What?! Flaming Arm is actually at a disadvantage! "
Everyone could not believe their eyes as they watched Flaming Arm's HP plummet.
"How is his combat standard so high?! Has he been toying with me all this time?! " When Flaming Arm saw his HP bar close to the red line, he knew that he had lost the upper hand. Not only was there a difference in combat standards, but Protection Blessing's duration was also about to end.
However, what Flaming Arm did not know was that Fierce Snake had suddenly found himself in an environment with high Mana density. Although he had struggled to adapt to the environment, as the fight continued, he had gradually adapted to the All-rounded Device's increased Mana.
In reality, Fierce Snake could have ended the battle long ago. However, the opportunity to exchange blows with a top-tier expert like Flaming Arm had inspired him greatly. Hence, he had not used any of his Skills and continued to exchange blows with Flaming Arm.
As Fierce Snake devoured Flaming Arm's final strand of HP, the spectators below the stage gasped in surprise.
"The Ling YI Society's Fierce Snake is amazing!"
"I never thought that the Ling YI Society would have such a character aside from its peak experts. I've really underestimated the Ling YI Society."
"It seems we'll have to be careful of this Berserker. His melee combat is just too strong."
By the time the competition ended, the various major powers' representatives were slightly wary of the Berserker. After all, Fierce Snake had killed the 37th ranked expert on the Black Dragon Empire's ranking list with just his basic attacks. If he used a combination of Skills, his combat power would rise to a whole new level.
After Fierce Snake's match ended, Windmill, Wild Bone, Lifeless Life, and the other members of the Ling YI Society took to the stage one after another. As expected, they won their matches. Moreover, none of them had used any of their Skills.
As the competition grew more intense, it was finally Zhao Yueru's turn.
Group 5: Number 918 versus Number 29!
"What?! The Flame Witch versus Drifting Flowers?! "
"Both of them should be experts with a 100% chance of qualifying, yet the system is pitting them against each other."
"This is going to be interesting. Drifting Flowers is one of the top ten Swordsman experts in the Purple Thorns Kingdom. I've heard that she recently defeated Sword Whistle, the 394th ranked expert on the God's Domain Experts List. The Flame Witch is also an expert that even the Dark Guild, Corpse Soul, is helpless against. I'm afraid this will be a bitter fight."
Everyone grew excited as they watched the two players walk onto the stage.
As the match began, both sides activated their Berserk Skills, stupefying everyone present.
Zhao Yueru immediately cast a threefold Spell. Although she had cast two Tier 1 Spells and one Tier 0 Spell, both her casting speed and Spell's power were frightening.
