He was basically wearing T2 equipment. (Note: T2 Paladin equipment wasn't meant for damage output, but the book had a setting that allowed for three different attributes. If there were any conflicts with Magic Beasts, the book's settings would prevail). His weapon was the Greatsword of the Brotherhood. Mu Qiu was already standing at the top of the current patch with his equipment alone.
How would such a powerful Paladin perform on the stage?
Many people were paying attention to this relatively low-end match. In addition to the many Paladin players, there were also many important figures in the professional circle. They weren't concerned about the outcome of this match, but whether or not Mu Qiu could make the leap from a healer to a damage output player.
If Mu Qiu really succeeded, then everyone would have to adjust all of Ruling Sword's strategies.
Ruling Sword's current lineup was getting stronger and stronger. Originally, it was just Lu Li and Moonlight that made up the damage output lineup. The others were relatively easy to deal with, but later on, they added Fei Houzi and Kitty Likes Meat. Although they weren't mature enough, their performance was remarkable.
In everyone's eyes, Mu Qiu was similar to Sakura Memories.
Now, this marginalized character wanted to break his position in everyone else's hearts. From a healer to a damage output player, it was a huge leap.
The first opponent was a Mage. A Mage was beating a Paladin, at least in the current patch.
The Mage on stage was a little nervous. It wasn't that he didn't think he was Mu Qiu's opponent. He was excited and began to imagine the glory of defeating a star player, even if this star player was playing damage output.
The battle was about to begin. Mu Qiu was the first to rush in front of his opponent. His greatsword glowed with white light as he swung it down.
The Mage was shocked and quickly used Ice Circle to open up some distance.
Unfortunately, his reaction was a little too late. This sword took out a quarter of his HP, since he didn't have time to put on a shield. The audience was shocked, but there were also some cheers mixed in. These were the cheers of the Paladins. They saw the confidence in Mu Qiu's sword.
Paladins were very weak, and there were very few professions that were weaker than them.
In the wild, they were much worse than Warriors and Thieves, and they couldn't compare to Mages who almost completely countered them. In Instance Dungeons, they had a little bit of room to survive because of their auras, healing and protection.
The scene that everyone was witnessing right now was enough to prove that as long as a Paladin had good equipment, even a Paladin could take half of a Mage's HP in one hit.
Of course, those with real foresight wouldn't be so optimistic. There was a difference in equipment and Mages didn't even have a shield. Even if they didn't have the Greatsword of the Brotherhood in their hands, they would still receive the same amount of damage.
The Mage from the Three Palaces and Six Schools panicked a little.
He no longer had the calmness he had when he looked down on the Paladin class. He hurriedly buffed himself, put on a shield, and then began to attack his opponent.
Throughout this process, Mu Qiu had been patiently waiting for the attack to hit his body before he started to retaliate.
The damage that the Mage dealt to him was pitifully low. After all, he was a Plate Armor Profession with high Defense and HP. Moreover, the equipment gap between the two sides was huge. At the very least, this Mage did not have a single piece of T2 equipment, or rather, he did not even have a few pieces of Legendary equipment. After determining the damage that he had received, Mu Qiu once again closed the distance between the two sides.
Mages and most melee classes had to keep their distance.
However, this Mage clearly didn't have such a flashy movement. Afterwards, Mu Qiu basically stuck to him and the battle ended very quickly.
The second was a Warrior. The team leader of the Three Palaces and Six Academies probably felt that ranged classes didn't have an advantage, so they simply sent a melee class to fight Mu Qiu head-on.
"Mu Qiu has already fought a battle and now has 65% HP left. Then, Lu Li, do you think he can deal with his next opponent?" Dark Wind used a very passionate tone to explain. This person could handle any style with ease. In any case, Lu Li couldn't do such a chuunibyou way of explaining things.
"Do you think I'll guess or not?" Lu Li also joked a little.
"Hey, this isn't fun anymore." Dark Wind looked at Lu Li bitterly.
"You're having fun, but you're insulting my intelligence by asking me to guess something that has no suspense at all." Lu Li didn't want to answer this kind of question.
"Don't be like that. Even if you have confidence in Mu Qiu, you can't just not make a guess," Dark Wind said.
"How about this, let's guess. I guess Mu Qiu can finish the group arena. What do you think?" Lu Li gave him a provocative look.
"You mean he can fight until the third one and still win?" Dark Wind originally didn't want to answer, but Lu Li's words seemed a little overboard. Even if Mu Qiu was stronger, Three Palaces and Six Academies still had some strength. How could they lose if they sent out three people specifically?
"If I lose, I'll answer the question. If I win, I get the right not to answer the question once. What do you think?" Lu Li said indifferently.
"I'll also bet, the same as Lu Li. If you win, I'll answer the question. If you lose, I also get the right not to answer once," Water Fairy added from behind.
"Could it be that you've fought Mu Qiu before and know how strong he is?" Dark Wind said suspiciously.
"No," Water Fairy said.
"Then why do you trust him so much?" Dark Wind couldn't understand.
"I don't trust him. I trust Lu Li," Water Fairy said matter-of-factly. "Pfft."
"Pfft," Dark Wind gloomily covered his face, "This round of dog food really caught me off guard. Alright, I'll agree to it. In any case, I don't believe that Mu Qiu can kill both of them. You two can look at the stage now. Mu Qiu doesn't have much health left. I don't think he can even finish off this Warrior."
"Why does everyone forget that he used to be a healer?" Lu Li silently lit a candle for Dark Wind.
"You're saying?" Dark Wind suddenly became alert.
At this time, an unforeseen event had already occurred on the stage. Seeing that Mu Qiu's health had been reduced by more than half, the Berserker was secretly delighted. He thought that this professional competitor would be finished by his hands.
Who would have thought that Mu Qiu would suddenly raise his hand and heal himself?
Pfft!
The sound of people vomiting blood filled the arena. Only then did everyone realize that Mu Qiu was originally a healer. Even if he had changed his equipment, learned new skills, and reset his skill points through completing quests, none of this could change the fact that he used to be a Paladin Healer.
He basically had all the skills that a Paladin Healer should have, and his technique was especially adept.
This raise of his hand didn't add much. After all, his entire body was covered in damage output equipment. However, this action was enough to destroy the Berserker's originally uneasy heart.
Dark Wind knew that he had already lost. He realized that he had been too complacent. He thought that he could play around with Lu Li and Water Fairy in the palm of his hand. He didn't think that Mu Qiu was originally a Paladin Healer.
