"That's Solitary Frost's stage. Why is Silent Wonder going there?"
"She's probably going to challenge Solitary Frost."
"Challenge Solitary Frost? Has she lost her mind? "
When the various families' newcomers, who had been vying for the eighth arena, saw Silent Wonder walk toward the first arena, they couldn't help but turn to look at her. What was she trying to do?
"Second Sis?" Even Burning Owl was stunned.
Even if Silent Wonder wanted to secure one of the top eight spots, she shouldn't have challenged Solitary Frost.
Solitary Frost's strength had always been far superior to everyone else's. Now that he had received Violet Sword's support, his strength was on a completely different level from before.
Challenging Solitary Frost was a waste of an opportunity.
At this moment, Burning Owl wasn't the only one who was stunned. Yan Xiaoqian, who was watching from the second stage, was also astonished.
If the Long Family's Silk Moon had challenged Solitary Frost, she might've had a chance, but Silent Wonder's combat talent was only average.
This competition wasn't an alchemy competition. Their opponents weren't monsters. Even if they had powerful weapons, equipment, and a level advantage, it wouldn't matter. Everyone on the stage had the same Basic Attributes. Everything depended on one's techniques. In this aspect, Silent Wonder was far inferior to Melancholy.
Meanwhile, an uproar had broken out in the spectator stands due to Silent Wonder's actions. The Long Family's Elders and Grand Elders, in particular, grew anxious.
The Long Family's chances of securing one of the top three spots were already slim, but if Silent Wonder and Burning Owl could secure fourth place, the Long Family would be able to secure two of the eight spots. As for whether or not the Long Family could maintain its dominance in the Azure Chamber of Commerce, as long as Silent Wonder left for Violet Sword and the Zeus Corporation stopped interfering, the Long Family would be fine.
But now that he had challenged Solitary Frost, he would have wasted a chance to challenge him.
"This girl is quite courageous." Sinful Flame praised as he glanced at Silent Wonder, who was already standing on the first stage.
However, Solitary Frost didn't seem to appreciate Silent Wonder's performance. On the contrary, he wore an ugly expression.
"Wu Yin, it seems like you've improved a lot in Ling Yi. You actually came to challenge me," Gu Han said coldly.
Now, there were only eight spots in the preliminaries. Even if they wanted to challenge him, if they really had the strength, they could wait until the official competition. Choosing him in the preliminaries was undoubtedly a slap to his face, telling everyone that he was easy to deal with.
"Mhm. I've improved a lot in Ling Yi, so I want to see where my limits lie," Silent Wonder said seriously, nodding.
"Looks like you're serious." Seeing Silent Wonder's serious expression, Solitary Frost understood that Silent Wonder wasn't toying with him. Instead, he calmed down and unsheathed the silver greatsword he carried on his back. "Since that's the case, show me how much you've improved in Zero Wing!"
"Thank you," Silent Wonder thanked Solitary Frost, who was treating her seriously.
"No need to thank me. I've always treated real challengers seriously, but I hope you won't disappoint me. During our training in Violet Sword, Yan Xiaoqian was the only one of my generation who managed to exchange a few moves with me. Everyone else was too boring. They couldn't make me get serious," Solitary Frost said.
As soon as Solitary Frost finished speaking, Sinful Flame walked to the center of the first stage.
"Since both of you have no further questions, let the competition begin." Sinful Flame glanced at the two players before announcing the start of the competition.
When the audience heard Sinful Flame's announcement, an uproar broke out among them. They hadn't expected Solitary Frost to be serious.
"And here I thought we'd have to wait until the official competition to see Solitary Frost and Burning Owl fight seriously. Thanks to Silent Wonder, we'll get to see Solitary Frost in action."
"I wonder how many minutes Silent Wonder can last?"
"How many minutes? Aren't you overestimating her? Even Burning Owl won't last more than ten moves against her. "
The various major powers' members had heard of Solitary Frost's name before. Many of them had come here to see just how strong Solitary Frost was, a newcomer who had fought Wildfighter to a standstill.
Wildfighter was a legend among Berserkers, after all. It was practically impossible to watch such a powerhouse fight. However, they could get a feel of Wildfighter's strength through Solitary Frost.
After Sinful Flame announced the start of the competition, Solitary Frost and Silent Wonder moved to their designated spots and prepared for battle.
"I've heard that Yan Xiaoqian treated you as an opponent. In that case, I'll use the move I used to defeat her! Take this!" Solitary Frost said as he looked at Silent Wonder, who stood 40 yards away from him.
As soon as Solitary Frost finished speaking, his body split into four identical clones. Moreover, the four clones charged at Silent Wonder from four different directions with ghostly speed.
"What? Solitary Frost is using Four Clones right off the bat?" The female Assassin on the other side of the stage gaped in shock when she saw Solitary Frost's serious expression.
Yan Xiaoqian, who stood a short distance away, also frowned when she saw this scene.
Solitary Frost's move was practically impossible for a magical class like her to deal with. After all, all four clones were both real and fake. Only by attacking all four clones simultaneously would she be able to damage Solitary Frost. However, that wasn't the most frightening part. The most frightening part was how Solitary Frost controlled his clones. Every one of them was no different from the real him.
In God's Domain, controlling doppelgangers in combat was very difficult. Even a peak expert like herself would suffer a decrease in her combat strength if she controlled two doppelgangers. Domain Realm experts would be fortunate if they could control three doppelgangers, but Solitary Frost's control over his doppelgangers was simply inhuman.
It was extremely difficult to land a hit on a Domain Realm expert with a Skill or Spell. Domain Realm experts could perceive all movements within their range. They could also react to attacks with perfect timing and launch precise attacks.
Going up against four Domain Realm experts was a nightmare.
Meanwhile, if a melee player, especially a Domain Realm expert, managed to close in on a magical class player, it was game over.
"Amazing!"
Silent Wonder couldn't help but admire Solitary Frost's four clones when she saw him maintain his peak state.
"Take this! Four Clones! "
Solitary Frost didn't slow down in the slightest despite Silent Wonder's admiration. In the blink of an eye, his four doppelgangers surrounded Silent Wonder. Moreover, less than 20 yards separated them from each other. In the blink of an eye, Silent Wonder would be within melee range.
Just as Solitary Frost's four clones were closing in on Silent Wonder, she suddenly waved her staff.
Four Ice Walls appeared beneath Silent Wonder's feet, encasing her from all sides.
"Ice Walls? Does she think she can stop Solitary Frost's attacks with such a Defensive Spell? "The female Assassin on the stage beside Silent Wonder laughed.
Ice Walls were, at most, a Tier 2 Spell. It wouldn't be enough to stop a Tier 3 player's full-powered attacks. She wouldn't even be able to buy time.
"Boring!"
Solitary Frost was also disappointed. However, he did not stop swinging his greatsword. Instead, he swung his greatsword at the Ice Wall. The instant he swung his greatsword, the greatsword split into three. The three greatswords then merged into one.
Combat Technique, Triple Slash!
Boom!
When the greatsword struck the Ice Walls, a loud boom echoed throughout the stage.
How is this possible?!
Solitary Frost was stunned when he saw his greatsword fail to penetrate the Ice Walls.
Because at this moment, the feeling from the collision of the greatsword didn't feel like ice at all. It was as hard as divine iron, and even his hands felt a little numb …
