The battle between Moonlight and Gaze was a battle between Warriors. Warrior skills were more reserved and didn't have any flashy special effects. Adding on the fact that the two knew each other well, there was nothing special about the battle.
On the other hand, the battle between Lu Li and Cloudy Leaf's Thief and Mage was more interesting.
One of the most beautiful scenes in Planting the Flag Outside the city was a battle between a Thief and a Mage. Whether the King of Planting the Flag was a Thief or a Mage, there was no consensus.
Now, in the temporarily enclosed space, the game's top Mage and Thief began their battle.
Of course, Lu Li wouldn't openly face the Mage. He immediately went into Stealth after Sanyue Yu announced the start of the battle. At least in this flat area, Stealth could be used to a certain extent.
Cloudy Leaf was ready for battle. He had trained a lot in this map and could determine the Thief's movements through subtle movements.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
He clearly knew that Lu Li wasn't far away, but he couldn't determine Lu Li's position through experience.
In the past, no one believed that Lu Li had obtained an Enhanced Stealth skill. After all, everyone knew that Lu Li was already very good at Stealth. Now that he had encountered him in a truly harsh environment, Cloudy Leaf was convinced. There were two main ways to enhance Stealth: one was against high-level monsters, and the other was against harsh environments.
However, even if he couldn't detect Lu Li, there were still ways to deal with him. Cloudy Leaf commanded his pet to stand still behind him.
This method of fighting was very passive. If he met an expert, he would be in trouble. It was easy to avoid the Water Elemental, and the Water Elemental's attack wasn't that high. However, Cloudy Leaf wasn't a noob who couldn't fight back. The experts he had met weren't necessarily better than him.
Since Cloudy Leaf was in a good position, Lu Li didn't need to go around in circles.
He lurked behind the opponent and used Sap. After using Sap, he didn't continue attacking. Lu Li immediately used his special effect to dodge to the side. He planned to use up the Water Elemental's Frost Nova first …
However, what surprised Lu Li was that Cloudy Leaf was already dizzy with his head lowered, while his Water Elemental Pet was just standing there stupidly, not doing anything.
Cloudy Leaf knew that if he rashly used the Water Elemental, it wouldn't have the desired effect. After all, the Water Elemental's Frost Nova was different from a player's Frost Nova. It had a very obvious process of raising its finger towards the target, but the player's action could be hidden in their normal battle movements.
Helpless, Lu Li could only rush forward again.
Cloudy Leaf waited until Lu Li attacked him before using his Water Elemental Frost Ring. In fact, Mages had to play this way. The noobest Mages would use their badge when they were sapped, but in fact, they would use their Water Elemental Frost Nova.
Suppose the Water Elemental Frost Nova successfully froze Lu Li, but Cloudy Leaf was still frozen. What could he do if he froze Lu Li at this time? Would he have to use his badge or something similar to dispel Sap before attacking?
After Lu Li dealt damage, the effect of Sap wore off and the effect of Cheap Shot began to replace the stun. Cloudy Leaf then used his badge to dispel the stun and used Blink to jump away. During this process, he basically didn't receive any damage. It was just like exchanging the special effect of his skill.
Lu Li also wouldn't foolishly let himself be attacked. He used Vanish to escape from the frozen state and continued to look for the right opportunity.
In comparison, although the fight between Moonlight and Gaze was lukewarm, at least the two of them were facing each other head-on. It was enough to make the audience's blood boil. If there were a few special effects such as shouting, it would be even more amazing.
In short, the audience was completely satisfied with the exciting individual showdown at the end of this group match.
Gaze defeated Moonlight at critical health. This was something that couldn't be helped. Gaze didn't need to hold back at this time, and Moonlight had two important tricks up his sleeves for The Capital of Glory. The fact that he could exhaust Gaze to critical health meant that he wasn't any weaker than his opponent.
The same logic couldn't be applied to Lu Li and Cloudy Leaf.
Just as Mowang Feng said, the only Mage who could defeat Lu Li in a one-on-one battle was Xiao Mo. At that time, he also said that the only one who could defeat Lu Li was the game company. He was referring to the system update strategy of "Every Patch Makes a God".
Of course, Lu Li wasn't arrogant enough to think that the game company would deal with him. The recent changes to the Thief class were things that would have happened even if he hadn't reincarnated.
So in a one-on-one battle like this, there was no reason for Lu Li to lose to Cloudy Leaf.
As long as Cloudy Leaf was controlled, he would immediately lose a large chunk of his health. The damage dealt by Cloudy Leaf's super high completion rate was something that not many cloth-armored classes could withstand.
However, there was no need to worry that the freedom of melee classes would affect the balance of the game. In the near future, when most melee classes in Manual Mode were familiar with this rhythm, the AI system would probably start to evaluate the damage dealt by Cloudy Leaf's completion rate.
Mages wouldn't have the chance to rejoice in other players' misfortune. Their critical strike system would also be redesigned.
Currently, the critical strike system for mages was also showing signs of being able to one-shot players. With top-tier equipment like Cloudy Leaf, very few people could survive a critical strike.
After fighting for a while, Cloudy Leaf was killed by Lu Li.
After Gaze killed Moonlight, he stood to the side and watched. Sanyue Yu was worried that he would go back on his word. If he attacked Lu Li together with Gaze, she might not be able to save him in time. Fortunately, Gaze was a person who valued his promises. After Cloudy Leaf died, he also left the arena.
The team competition between Ruling Sword and Gale Legion ended with a score of 6-4. At the same time, it was also announced that Ruling Sword had advanced to the next round. They would officially compete with The Capital of Glory for the championship next weekend.
The order of the competition hadn't been released yet, but it didn't seem to matter. After all, there was a home and away game.
They didn't stay in Chengdu for too long. Lu Li and the others simply didn't have the time to play around.
When they returned, the most important thing was to level up.
Based on the current competition time, it wasn't impossible for them to reach level 60 by the time of the finals.
Currently, the highest level player on the leaderboard was Blood Red War Flag's Mage Wild. He had already reached level 59, while The Capital of Glory's I No Understand was behind him. She was also a shocking level 59.
The remaining eight players in the top ten of the leaderboard were all level 58. The difference in EXP between them was quite large. Huadi Liqing was in third place, while Weilan Haifeng was in fifth place. Apart from these two, the highest level player in Ruling Sword was Xiaoba Jiang, who was already in the top ten of the leaderboard.
The fourth place on the leaderboard was Mowang Feng. Majin Temple had been eliminated early on, but he had actually made it into the top five of the leaderboard.
Sixth to tenth place were Lucky Southern Persian, Magic Cry, Wood Fearing, Xiao Mo and Empty Forest.
