Chapter 740

Zero Wing's members were astonished when they heard Shi Feng's words.

Cursemancers were ranged magical classes. Rangers countered Cursemancers. Logically, Zero Wing shouldn't have sent a magical class. At the very least, they should have sent a Ranger like Minor Wind. At the very least, they should have sent an Assassin or Berserker to counter Rangers.

"Guild Leader, let me go. I can counter Rangers. We should be able to win this match," Fire Dance said.

The others felt that Fire Dance's suggestion made sense.

There were a total of five matches. As long as they won three, victory would be theirs. Winning one match was always a good thing. Moreover, when Fire Dance had arrived, everyone had noticed that her equipment had changed.

She had not replaced the Truefire Blades she had been using until now.

The Truefire Blades were a Set Weapon. Moreover, they were top-tier Dark-Gold Weapons. Although they were slightly inferior to Level 35 Dark-Gold Weapons, in terms of Attributes, even a Level 35 Dark-Gold Weapon could not compare to a Level 30 Dark-Gold Set Equipment. Yet, Fire Dance had switched weapons. This proved that the Attributes of her new weapons definitely surpassed the Truefire Blades.

With Fire Dance's improved Attributes and her previous combat techniques, she should be able to defeat Thousand Blades easily in a one-on-one.

"No. It's best for Aqua to go. You still have more important matters to attend to," Shi Feng said, shaking his head. He was very certain of his judgment.

Shi Feng knew a little about Thousand Blades. After all, among the Glorious Lions Battle Team's members in the past, Thousand Blades had been one of the more active members. How could he not know about such an expert?

In a top-tier competition like this, the difference in Attributes between equipment was miniscule. Even if Minor Wind's Tier 1 Set Equipment was slightly stronger than Level 35 Dark-Gold Equipment in terms of Basic Attributes, there were only five pieces of the Tier 1 Set Equipment. His other equipment was already on par with Level 35 Dark-Gold Equipment. Moreover, every piece of Tier 1 Set Equipment was socketed with Tier 3 Gemstones. In terms of Basic Attributes, Minor Wind's Tier 1 Set Equipment was very limited. The main point of this competition would be techniques.

According to Shi Feng's estimates, if Minor Wind's combat power was 2,000 points, then Thousand Blades's combat power would be around 1,800 points. Although there was a gap between them, techniques could easily make up for it. This was a very common occurrence in the Dark Arena. Moreover, in the Dark Arena, players could not use any tools in their battles.

This meant that this would be a battle of techniques and equipment.

Even now, Minor Wind had yet to enter the Refinement Realm. He hadn't even reached the Half-step Refinement Realm. He could only push his body to its limits. How could he possibly compare to Thousand Blades, who had already reached the Refinement Realm?

After Shi Feng made his decision, the names of the combatants appeared above the 300-by-300-yard dueling platform.

Thousand Blades VS Aqua Rose!

"The Asura Battle Team is really pitiful. They actually sent out the famous Aqua Rose right off the bat. It seems they really don't have anyone else," the Assassin Long Rainbow said, sneering. Assassin Long Rainbow sneered. "Unfortunately, even Aqua Rose isn't a match for Thousand Blades. She might as well send some cannon fodder. What a waste of a powerful combatant. "

"According to the information, Zero Wing's only capable member is the Sword King, Black Flame. I really want to meet him. That way, the title of Sword King will belong to me," the blue-armored Swordsman Blood Sun said, sighing as he looked at the Asura Battle Team's participant list.

The others nodded in agreement. They could tell from the first match.

The Asura Battle Team had no chance of winning.

If Aqua Rose had reached the Refinement Realm, she might've been able to have a good fight against Thousand Blades. However, those who had yet to reach the Refinement Realm were still amateurs. Even so, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.

…

"Big Sis Rain, what is Ye Feng thinking? He actually sent Aqua Rose. Can't he see Thousand Blades's standards?" Blue Phoenix had admired Shi Feng a little. However, Shi Feng's performance was a little disappointing. Thousand Blades had no intention of hiding his combat standards. Every one of his movements was natural and smooth, without any unnecessary movements. It was obvious that he had reached the Refinement Realm. "I don't care what I think of Thousand Blades. Even if Ye Feng isn't the best candidate, shouldn't we send that Fire Dance at the very least? "

Fire Dance was Zero Wing's first Assassin. In terms of techniques, she was on par with Aqua Rose. Assassins countered Rangers, more or less. Although Fire Dance had yet to reach the Refinement Realm, with her advantage in Attributes, she still had a chance at victory. It was not worth it to give up on this match.

Phoenix Rain also shook her head. She could not understand Shi Feng's thoughts.

If the weak wanted to defeat the strong, they needed to take advantage of the opponent's weakness. Now that the Asura Battle Team was looking down on the Asura Battle Team, this was a good opportunity to secure a victory. Yet, Shi Feng had chosen to do so. It was truly puzzling.

Aqua Rose did not give the situation much thought. She did not have many opportunities to fight one-on-one against an expert. Although she did not know Shi Feng's thoughts, she was more than willing to fight Thousand Blades, even if she felt that her chances of victory were low.

"Aqua, wait a moment." Shi Feng suddenly stopped Aqua Rose, who was about to enter the stage. He then took out an emerald cane from his bag and handed it to Aqua Rose. "Don't be in such a hurry to end the match. Train yourself."

"Guild Leader, this is …" Aqua Rose grew excited when she saw the emerald cane. "Guild Leader, rest assured. I'll play with him as much as I can."

After saying so, Aqua Rose confidently walked up the stage.

"Your leader really is a fool. He actually sent you to your death. However, that's fine as well. It's been a long time since I've fought a great beauty. Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes." Thousand Blades grinned. He then retrieved the purple-copper longbow from the quiver on his back. He then retrieved five steel arrows that glowed with a green light from the quiver on his back.

He had meticulously prepared these arrows. They were called Scorching Poison, and each arrow cost 10 Silver. They were extremely expensive. Normally, he was reluctant to use them. However, this was a competition. Naturally, he would not be stingy in this aspect.

As long as a player was hit by Scorching Poison, even if it only grazed their armor, the damage would be extremely high. They would also be poisoned, greatly reducing their Movement Speed and Attack Speed. They would also lose a significant amount of HP every second for five seconds.

Magical classes were already lacking in Movement Speed to begin with. If they were hit by Scorching Poison, their Movement Speed would be greatly reduced. If they were hit, they wouldn't even be able to dodge the incoming arrows.

Moreover, Cursemancers were different from Elementalists. Elementalists were basically firepower turrets. Cursemancers were mainly used to restrict and weaken their opponents. Their firepower was only average. They were not as ferocious as Rangers.

Facing Thousand Blades' provocation, Aqua Rose did not respond. She simply toyed with the new staff in her hands like a little girl who had just found a new toy.

"You're courting death!" Thousand Blades bellowed when Aqua Rose ignored him. "In a moment, I'll let you experience the true meaning of despair!"

At this moment, the countdown finally reached zero. Along with the low chime of a warning, the match had officially begun.

"Scatter!"

Thousand Blades fired an arrow into the air, activating the Tier 1 AOE Skill for Rangers, Falling Rain. The descending Scorching Poison Arrows instantly enveloped the area Aqua Rose stood in.
