Ling Yi and the others were confused when they heard Shifeng's words.
Cursemancers were a ranged magical class, and Rangers countered them. Logically, they shouldn't have sent a magical class. At the very least, they should've sent a Ranger like Minor Wind. At the very least, they should've sent an Assassin or Berserker, who countered Rangers.
"Guild Leader, let me go. I can counter Rangers. We can win this match," Fire Dance volunteered.
The others found Fire Dance's suggestion reasonable.
There were a total of five matches. As long as they won three matches, they would be victorious. Moreover, when Fire Dance had arrived, everyone had noticed that her equipment had changed.
The True Fire Flowing Blade that had never been replaced was now replaced.
The Truefire Blades were a set weapon. Moreover, they were top-tier Dark-Gold Weapons. They were only slightly inferior to Level 35 Dark-Gold Weapons. However, in terms of Attributes, even a Level 35 Dark-Gold Weapon could not compare to a Level 30 Dark-Gold Set Equipment. Yet, now that Fire Dance had swapped out her new weapon, it proved that her new weapon's Attributes were definitely superior to her previous Truefire Blades.
Now that Fire Dance's Attributes had improved, with her previous combat techniques, she should have a 90% chance of defeating her opponent in a one-on-one.
"No, it's best if Aqua goes. You have more important matters to attend to," Shifeng said, shaking his head. He was very certain of his judgment.
He knew a little about Thousand Blades. After all, Thousand Blades had been one of the most active members of the Glorious Lions' battle team in the past. How could he not know about such an expert?
In a top-tier competition like this, the difference in Attributes between players was miniscule. Even if Minor Wind's Tier 1 Set Equipment provided slightly better Basic Attributes than Level 35 Dark-Gold Set Equipment, there were only five pieces of Tier 1 Set Equipment. There was no difference between the other pieces of equipment. Every piece of equipment was socketed with Tier 3 Gemstones. It was mainly a competition of skills.
According to Shifeng's estimates, if Minor Wind had 2,000 Attributes, then Thousand Blades would have 1,800 Attributes. While there was a gap, techniques could easily make up for it. Such situations were very common in the Dark Arena. Moreover, in the Dark Arena, players were not allowed to use any tools in their battles.
This was destined to be a battle of techniques and equipment.
Even now, Minor Wind had yet to step into the realm of Refinement. In fact, Thousand Blades had not even reached the Half-step Refinement Realm. He was merely capable of unleashing the limits of his body. How could he possibly compare to Thousand Blades, who had already stepped into the Refinement Realm and could freely control his strength?
After the Shifeng made his decision, the names of the two combatants appeared in the air above the 300-by-300-yard arena.
Thousand Blades vs Shiuse Qiangwei!
"The Asura Battle Team is really pitiful. They actually sent out the famous Shiuse Qiangwei right off the bat. It seems that they really don't have anyone else." Assassin Long Rainbow sneered, "Unfortunately, even Shiuse Qiangwei is no match for Thousandedge. It would be better to send a cannon fodder. What a waste of a great battle force. "
"According to the data, the Sword King Hei Yan is the only one Ling Yi's Guild can produce. I really want to meet him. Then, the title of Sword King will belong to me," the blue-armored Swordsman, Blood Sun, sighed as he looked at the Asura Battle Team's list of participants.
The others nodded in agreement. Just from the first battle, they could see that.
The Asura Battle Team had no chance of victory.
If Aqua Rose had reached the Refinement Realm, she might be able to have some fun with the class advantage. However, without reaching the Refinement Realm, she was still a layman. Although the difference between the two was only a thin layer of paper. Even so, the difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
…
"Big Sis Rain, what is Ye Feng thinking? He actually sent Shiuse Qiangwei up? Can he not see through Thousandedge's standards?" Blue Phoenix had previously admired the Shifeng. However, Shi Feng's current performance was slightly disappointing. Thousand Blades did not seem to have any intention of hiding his combat standards. Every one of his movements was natural and smooth, without any excess movements. It was obvious that he had reached the Refinement Realm. "I don't care how I look at Thousand Blades. Both of them should have reached the Refinement Realm. Even if Ye Feng isn't the best candidate, he should at least send Fire Dance, right? "
Fire Dance was Ling Yi's first Assassin. In terms of techniques, she was on par with Shiuse Qiangwei. Assassins more or less countered Rangers. Although Fire Dance had not reached the Refinement Realm, with her advantage in Attributes, she still had a chance to win. It was not worth it to give up on this match.
Feng Qianyu also shook his head. He could not understand Shifeng's thoughts.
If they wanted to defeat the strong, they needed to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses. Now that Thousand Blades did not think much of the Asura Battle Team, this was the perfect opportunity to obtain a victory. Yet, Thousand Blades had chosen to do so.
Shiuse Qiangwei did not give the matter much thought. Opportunities to fight one-on-one, especially against experts, were rare. Although she did not know what Shifeng was thinking, she was more than willing to fight Thousand Blades, even if she knew that her chances of victory were not high.
"Aqua, wait a moment." Shifeng suddenly stopped Shiuse Qiangwei, who was about to enter the stage. He then took out an emerald cane from his bag and handed it to Shiuse Qiangwei, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry to end the battle. Take this time to hone yourself."
"Guild Leader, this is …" Shiuse Qiangwei said excitedly when he saw the emerald cane. "Guild Leader, rest assured. I will play with him to the fullest extent."
After saying so, Shiuse Qiangwei confidently walked towards the stage.
"Your leader is truly foolish. He actually sent you to your death. However, this is fine. It's been a long time since I've fought a beauty. Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes." Thousandedge grinned and took out the copper-colored longbow with sharp thorns on his back. He then took out five fine steel arrows that glowed with green light from the quiver on his back.
He had carefully prepared these arrows, and they were called Scorpion Arrows. The cost of each arrow was 10 Silver Coins. They were extremely expensive. Normally, he would not bear to use them. Now that they were in a competition, however, he would not be stingy.
As long as one was struck by this Scorpion Arrows, even if they brushed past one's armor, they would deal extremely high damage. 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.
For magical classes, their Movement Speed was already very low. If they were struck, their Movement Speed would be greatly reduced. They would not even be able to dodge the arrows. They would only become easy targets.
Moreover, Cursemancers were different from Elementalists. Elementalists were firepower turrets. Cursemancers mainly focused on control and debuffs. Their firepower was only average. They were not as powerful as Rangers.
Despite Thousand Blades' provocation, Shiuse Qiangwei ignored him. Instead, he fiddled with the new cane in his hands like a little girl who had found a new toy.
"You're courting death!" Thousand Blades was enraged when he saw Shiuse Qiangwei ignore him. "In a moment, I'll let you experience the true meaning of despair!"
At this moment, the countdown for the match finally reached zero. Following a low hum of warning, the match officially began.
"Scatter!"
Thousand Blades immediately fired an arrow into the sky, using the Tier 1 AOE Skill, Falling Rain. The descending Scorpion Arrows instantly enveloped the area Shiuse Qiangwei stood.
