After seeing the first match's name list, Zhao Yueru and Cao Chenghua entered the arena.
Zhao Yueru was an Elementalist, while Cao Chenghua was a Berserker. There was practically no difference in levels and equipment between the two sides. In terms of combat techniques, Cao Chenghua was superior. However, Zhao Yueru held the advantage in terms of class. Hence, the final outcome of the match was uncertain. However, Nimble Snake and the others revealed mocking smiles as if victory was already assured.
This surprised Gentle Snow, who watched from the sidelines.
Gentle Snow was very clear about Cao Chenghua's standards. Although he was slightly higher than Zhao Yueru, there was a limit to it. At most, he could make up for the difference in classes.
Why were Nimble Snake and the others so confident?
"Yueru, be careful. Cao Chenghua is acting a little strange today. Don't let him get close to you," Gentle Snow whispered.
"Mhm, I know. Don't worry. For this match, I specifically completed an advanced quest and obtained a powerful skill. I'll definitely make Cao Chenghua suffer," Zhao Yueru replied with a relaxed smile.
Although Zhao Yueru appeared relaxed, she was inwardly on high alert.
Although this was only her first match, it was still a crucial match. If she won, she would have a 50% chance of winning the competition.
"Big Brother Ye Feng, is that Cao Chenghua very powerful?" Violet Cloud could not help but ask as she looked at the confident Cao Chenghua.
"He is indeed an expert. However, he does not have the strength to defeat Zhao Yueru with a 100% certainty. After all, one's mentality and other factors can change the outcome of a battle," Shifeng said, shaking his head.
Cao Chenghua was the Guild Leader of Ouroboros. Moreover, Ouroboros mainly developed in the Starmoon Kingdom. In Shi Feng's previous life … Naturally, Shifeng had collected a lot of information about Cao Chenghua. He was very clear about Cao Chenghua's strength.
Just as Shifeng and Violet Cloud were secretly discussing … The duel in the arena had begun.
Cao Chenghua immediately used Flame Charge and Fierce Strike. He did not hold back in the slightest. Like a ferocious beast, he bared his fangs and brandished his claws.
Zhao Yueru naturally wouldn't let Cao Chenghua get close to her. She chanted an incantation, waved her staff with one hand, and quickly wrote divine runes with the other. When Cao Chenghua was 20 yards away from Zhao Yueru, an Ice Sphere blocked his path. If he were struck by the Ice Sphere, the damage it dealt would be secondary. His Movement Speed would be reduced by a large margin.
After all, Berserkers didn't have much mobility.
Hence, the basic tactic used by Elementalists against Berserkers was to kite them.
Cao Chenghua reacted quickly. He immediately turned around and circled around from the right. However, a Frost Arrow immediately shot towards him. Seeing this, Cao Chenghua sneered. Brandishing the dark-gold greatsword in his hand, he shattered all of the incoming Frost Arrows and charged forward once more.
However, Zhao Yueru seemed to have been prepared for this. She waved her staff. He used Ice Dragon Break on Cao Chenghua, and a huge dragon bit towards Cao Chenghua. Then, he used Ice Wall. Cao Chenghua's surroundings were sealed.
"Break!" Cao Chenghua gripped his sword with both hands and swung it at the Ice Dragon, using Horizontal Slash.
However, the moment the Ice Dragon shattered. A layer of frost covered Cao Chenghua's body, greatly reducing his Movement Speed. Immediately after, three Ice Spears appeared. Cao Chenghua tried to block them with his sword. However, the frost effect on his body greatly reduced his Movement Speed. He only managed to block one of the spears before the remaining two struck him.
Two damages of -215 and -221 appeared above Cao Chenghua's head.
However, Cao Chenghua, who was Level 24, had 3,320 HP. These two attacks had only shaved off a little over 10% of his HP.
Cao Chenghua frowned slightly. He couldn't understand why the Ice Dragon still had a Frost effect even after being shattered.
"It seems my new move is quite effective." Zhao Yueru was very satisfied with her previous attack. Ice Dragon Break was an Advanced Skill she had learned.
Ordinary Magic Attacks could be blocked. However, Ice Dragon Break was different. Although it did not deal any damage, it still had a Movement Speed Reduction effect for five seconds. It was an extremely useful Skill against classes like Berserkers.
Now that Cao Chenghua's Movement Speed had been reduced, Zhao Yueru would not hold back. First, she used Ice Ring to freeze Cao Chenghua. Following which, a magic array appeared around Zhao Yueru. Five fireballs the size of a face then revolved around her.
"Go!"
Zhao Yueru then used Flame Barrage to bombard Cao Chenghua.
Ice Spear was a rapid-attack Spell. It had speed but no power. Hence, Cao Chenghua barely felt any pain after receiving the two attacks. However, if the Flame Barrage struck him, it would at least take away half of his HP.
At this moment, Cao Chenghua was frozen in place. Facing the bombardment of the five large fireballs, he had no way of dodging them all.
"Wonderful! We've won!" Fierce Snake shouted excitedly.
Just as the five large fireballs were about to hit their target, Cao Chenghua's skin suddenly turned red. His body also grew larger, and the ice beneath his feet instantly shattered. Nobody had expected Cao Chenghua to have learned a Control Removal Skill.
In the next moment, Cao Chenghua bellowed. Brandishing his two-handed greatsword, he charged towards the nearest large fireball. With a single slash, he split the large fireball in half. The remaining four large fireballs brushed past Cao Chenghua's body, causing only four damages of over -100 points.
After breaking through the Flame Barrage, Cao Chenghua was only eight yards away from Zhao Yueru. Suddenly, he used Death Leap and arrived beside Zhao Yueru. He then followed up with Thunder Strike and Cleave. Caught off guard, Zhao Yueru hurriedly used Blink. However, she was still too slow. Not only was Thunder Strike's Movement Speed reduced, but Cao Chenghua's Cleave had also struck her.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yueru lost 902 HP from her 2,600 HP. Moreover, Zhao Yueru had been wearing a Magic Shield all this time, absorbing a certain amount of damage. Otherwise, a single Cleave would have taken away half of her HP.
However, just as Zhao Yueru used Blink to move 15 yards away from Cao Chenghua, he used Second Charge, rapidly approaching her.
Zhao Yueru waved her staff, and ice spears shot towards Cao Chenghua. Cao Chenghua had no choice but to use his sword to block them, greatly reducing his Movement Speed. As Zhao Yueru increased the distance between them, she used Ice Walls and Ice Spheres to restrict Cao Chenghua's movements.
However, due to Thunder Strike, Zhao Yueru's Movement Speed had also decreased.
Meanwhile, Cao Chenghua, whose body had expanded, had no effect on Movement Speed Reduction skills. He rushed straight towards Zhao Yueru, executing Triple Slash. Three crescent-shaped sword lights flew towards Zhao Yueru. Zhao Yueru could not use Frost Shield to block the attacks. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she jumped, dodging the Triple Slash.
However, as if Cao Chenghua had long since seen through Zhao Yueru's plan, he rushed towards Zhao Yueru's dodging position and abruptly swung his greatsword.
Horizontal Slash!
Zhao Yueru knew that she could not dodge the attack. Meanwhile, Blink was still on cooldown, so it would take some time. Hence, she could only use her staff to block the attack.
Although the Strength of magical classes was very low, they could reduce the damage they received by using their weapons to block attacks. Furthermore, she still had her Magic Shield. As long as she blocked two of the attacks, she could use Blink to escape. Normally, Cao Chenghua's Movement Control Skills did not have a long duration.
Moreover, Zhao Yueru had already seen through the attack's trajectory. It would be easy for her to block the attack with her staff. She might even be able to use the opportunity to escape.
However, after Iron Slash landed on her staff, Zhao Yueru did not feel any power from her hands.
