On the matter of the Stronghold, Xiao Mo didn't just fail to take down the Black Sea Coast and Grey Valley.
He couldn't even announce to the public that they had taken down Eternal Kingdom. After all, he had already said during the Stronghold battle that it was just an alliance, so this alliance had to continue unless there was a major change.
Otherwise, he would just watch as the players of Eternal Kingdom left the guild.
There weren't many changes to the other Strongholds either. The new Stronghold was taken by Gale Legion, and in addition to the Stonetalon Mountains that they had taken from Peerless City, Gale Legion actually surpassed The Capital of Glory and became the other club besides Ruling Sword that had two Strongholds.
Another two weeks passed and Ruling Sword finally took down the four Paladins.
The entire process was filled with tears. Lu Li didn't want to think about it at all, but the result wasn't so perfect. He didn't get any of the four Skill Points. The only thing he hoped for was that the Boss would drop something good. It would be best if there were a few Enhanced Skill Books that he could use.
"Good stone. Attack Speed and Critical Damage," Canmeng was pleasantly surprised.
"It's mine!" Lu Li said fiercely.
"Alright, alright, you can have it." The others didn't have any objections. Caring for the disabled, oh no, the mentally handicapped, didn't seem right either. In short, he was working too hard as a team leader. Everyone could see that it was just a stone for embedding equipment. It wasn't a big deal.
The Enhanced Skill Book had dropped!
Everyone was celebrating. Unfortunately, it was for Warlocks. This time, it was Sesame Filling Tangyuan's turn. Kitty Likes Meat had taken it last time.
Hammer of Atonement Crusader, a two-handed hammer. It was good for a Healing Paladin. There was only one Healing Paladin, so it didn't have to be so troublesome.
Passion of Forgiveness, an Epic accessory that regenerated mana. Magic professions who liked to stand and grind would probably like it. Unfortunately, it didn't sell for a high price, mainly because the Magic professions here didn't lack mana.
Fallen Ashbringer, an Epic Mold. Its attributes were naturally not bad.
Of course, this was not the original Ashbringer. That was an existence at the level of a Semi-Divine Weapon. Even Arthis wanted to get his hands on it.
The Fallen Ashbringer was taken by Her Tears. It was a two-handed sword with overpowered stats, and was not much weaker than Mu Qiu's Greatsword of the Brotherhood. However, Her Tears could not use it for now, as Green Flag Wine had borrowed it from him.
It wasn't because of Water Fairy that he lent it to her, but because Her Tears did it willingly.
The friendship between men was actually very simple. Everyone was a PVP maniac. As long as they fought side by side a few times, even if they were not in the same club, they would quickly become as close as a family. The three-guild alliance often fought together in the wild, and the degree of harmony was close to that of an adulterous couple.
Then, there was the T3 set of clothes. Lu Li had individual pieces, so he didn't need them.
The Four Horsemen were killed, and the Shadow Cup Top 100 was over. The Top 16 of this year's Shadow Cup fell to The Capital of Glory, Ruling Sword, Blood Red War Flag, Seventh Heaven, Drizzle Court, Peerless City, Wings of Dawn, Gale Legion, Azure Guard, Majin Temple, Gangnam Royals, Lan Yu, Gods of Dusk, Purple Lunar Paradise, Stellar Union and Grand Hegemony.
Grand Hegemony didn't go easy on them this time, but they still managed to advance to the next round. It had to be said that luck was sometimes a very important factor on the battlefield.
On the first day of the Top 16, Ruling Sword was up against Stellar Union.
Stellar Union was actually very strong. This club had their own set of Instance Dungeon strategies.
Dawnlight's Instance Dungeon focused on First Clears and setting new records. Of course, First Clears were the most important, but setting new records every time couldn't be ignored. Stellar Union was a club that often set new Instance Dungeon records. At the moment, Stellar Union was ranked first in many of the Instance Dungeon records.
This club had always been inconspicuous, but no one would ignore their existence.
Stellar Union's Magician Twilight and Paladin Hit Me 72 Times were both top-notch experts, especially Hit Me 72 Times. He and Green Flag Wine were the representatives of the Paladin class, and Mu Qiu had only risen recently.
In the arena, the first Paladin from both sides was the Paladin.
Everyone was also happy to see two Paladins who were equally ranked go head to head. Both were the first to go up, so it couldn't be any fairer.
A Paladin fight was actually the most boring. It wasn't as flashy as a Mage fight, nor was it as hot-blooded as a Berserker fight. It wasn't as exciting and cunning as a Thief fight. In short, it was just like children slapping each other. Both of their HP steadily decreased, but after a certain amount, it would recover a little.
Quite a few people were getting sleepy from watching.
However, when it came to Lu Li's level, it wasn't difficult to notice some details that would affect the outcome of the battle. Perhaps Mu Qiu was a little bit inferior in terms of skill combinations and positioning, but his strength was also very obvious.
The Greatsword of the Brotherhood!
This was the strongest two-handed sword in the current patch. It put a lot of pressure on Hit Me 72 Times. The damage was just too high, and he also had to be on guard against the legendary instant kill effect of this weapon.
In the end, Mu Qiu relied on his advantage in equipment to become the victor, but he was almost out of gas.
Twilight went up and killed Mu Qiu in a few hits. Then, he was directly defeated by Moonlight. Stellar Union's third player to go up was the Hunter, Purple Sea of Mind. Unfortunately, the Hunter, who was known to be able to kite any melee player to death, could never directly kite Moonlight to death.
In the top 16, there was no longer a problem of accumulating points to advance to the next round. The purpose of the points was to add them together to determine the outcome of the match.
In the arena, Ruling Sword received three points, while Stellar Union received one point. This was because they only killed Mu Qiu.
The map for the group round was a grassland map, with some steep slopes and hills. Both sides encountered each other on a hill, and Stellar Union faced Ruling Sword head-on. They were at a disadvantage in terms of terrain, but they still fought fairly well. They killed two Ruling Sword players before completely collapsing.
In the group round, Ruling Sword received six points, while Stellar Union received two points.
The results of the first group of the top 16 were out. Stellar Union was eliminated, and Ruling Sword advanced to the top eight. The rest was as simple as that.
The second day was Drizzle Court versus Wings of Dawn.
Lu Li only went to the Instance Dungeon after watching the match. Drizzle Court eliminated their opponent with a slight advantage, and also entered the top eight.
The four area Bosses in the Instance Dungeon had already been defeated, and the deeper door was opened to the players. There were only two final Bosses left in the Instance Dungeon – Sapphiron and Kel 'Thuzad.
