A faint light flashed, and Mad Blade, who had just finished today's match, appeared in the stronghold hall. He looked a little worried.
"Sigh, I lost another battle. Lost Angel is too steady, and I really can't beat him. My ranking dropped again. My next opponent is Key Club's Key Club's Key Club. He's also a strong guy. If I lose again, I won't be able to advance."
Mad Blade shook his head with a worried expression.
More than half of the competition was over, and the situation was getting clearer and clearer. In the team competition, Dynasty had secured a spot in advance, and Long Sky and Temple of God were still on the verge of eighth place. If they lost a battle or got too few points, they would be left far behind. With the harsh environment in Group C, it was extremely unlikely that they would be able to catch up.
However, the team competition did not have anything to do with Mad Blade. His performance in the Singles was average, and he was ranked around seventeen or eighteen. His chances of winning were about fifty percent, but it was extremely difficult for him to win every time. He felt that the Mechanical Pugilist class was lacking.
Although the Mechanical Pugilist class could fight and tank, be it close-range or long-range, and was more well-rounded, they did not have any special strengths for the time being. Although his mechanics were very good, there was still a gap between him and the top players. These monsters in the Singles all had their own special tactics and were good at dragging the battle into their rhythm. Mad Blade realized that if the Mechanical Pugilist wanted to catch up in this aspect, the only way was to rely on stronger or more unique mechanical weapons.
However, the weakness of the Mechanical Pugilist class was not the fault. The Mechanic class was not very suitable for the first version. After all, every version was a god. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the Mechanical Pugilist class, he could only rely on stronger machinery and higher level bonuses in the later versions. In every version, the Mechanical Pugilist was a class that was playable, well-rounded, and not bad. They could be both the main tank and damage dealer. They were the choice between T2 to T3, and their development curve was very smooth.
It was already very difficult for Mad Blade to be able to achieve such a result. Other than his own skill level, a bigger reason was the high-quality mechanical equipment he had obtained from Han Xiao. If he had not met Black Phantom back then, he would have only been able to participate in the district competitions and would not have been able to step onto the international stage.
Among all the players that followed Han Xiao, Frenzied Sword was the most hardcore supporter. Not only had he received the most help, but it was also because they had spent so much time together and liked Han Xiao a lot. Sometimes, he even felt that Han Xiao was a real person.
Although all the NPCs in Galaxy looked like real people, Han Xiao gave him a very special feeling. Maybe it was because Han Xiao was the first important person he met, so he had a strong first impression of him.
After calming himself down, Mad Blade prepared to look for Han Xiao to repair his equipment. At the same time, he also wanted to add some new weapons for the next match, hoping that they would be of some use.
Just as he was about to leave, Han Xiao arrived at the lobby first. Mad Blade immediately went up and expressed his desire to repair his equipment. The interface of the shop appeared before his eyes.
He quickly browsed through it and suddenly found a few new products at the bottom.
"Hmm? Ability Potion? I've never seen it before. Is this something new? "Mad Blade was surprised.
Han Xiao placed a few Ability Potions into the shop interface. There was a limited quantity, so he had set a high price. The effect of the Ability Potion was to obtain an ability from another character for a short period of time. It also stated who the Ability Potion came from. The Ability Potion that Han Xiao had created with his own genes was among them, and it was discovered by Mad Blade at first glance.
"There's only one Ability Potion from Black Star. What effect does it have?"
The price of the Ability Potion was 2,000 Enas. It was not cheap and was even a little expensive. One would only know the effect after using it. The temporary Character Summon Card that was obtained every time had to be one of the creator's abilities. As for the ability that was drawn, it was random and not fixed.
Before Mad Blade decided to buy it, Dynasty, Temple of God, and the other teams also came over and discovered the new product, Ability Potion.
"Temporarily obtain the ability of another person. This looks like a UFF Potion. Why is it so expensive? Is the effect very good? "
In order to increase their combat strength, these teams did not hesitate to spend. Hao Tian immediately bought one of Rezar's Ability Potions. After drinking it, he was notified that he had obtained a temporary Character Summon Card. The effect was to increase the damage of his next magic attack by 77%. He was a little surprised.
"It's a pity that I'm not a Mage. Otherwise, this buff would be pretty good. I can use it at the crucial moment in a team battle, such as an excellent AOE opportunity or a burst attack to kill the opponent's weak HP. If used well, I can secure victory in one fell swoop!"
It was not the players' first time coming into contact with Character Summon Cards. Character Summon Cards could increase combat strength, and they were very practical. Usually, they would only be rewarded by special missions. They did not expect Han Xiao to sell Character Summon Cards here. Although it was temporary, it was their first time seeing it, so they were both surprised and happy.
Hearing this, Mad Blade's eyes sparkled. He hurriedly took out his money and bought the only Black Star Ability Potion. He was a Mechanic, and so was Black Star. His ability would definitely be compatible with his.
Ignoring the teams fighting for the other Ability Potions, Mad Blade walked to the side and carefully drank Han Xiao's potion.
A notification appeared on the interface.
You have received [Character Summon Card — Han Xiao (Temporary)].
Mad Blade's eyes widened, and shock froze on his face. He could not help but rub his eyes, afraid that he had seen the wrong number.
"Two, two point five times!!"
Mad Blade almost spat out water.
"Even after using all my buff skills, my Machinery Affinity is only half of this. Black Star's attributes are too scary. Just how strong is he?"
This was no longer something that could be described as crazy!
This was a UG type of buff!
Using this Character Summon Card at this level, not to mention techniques or mechanics, even a pig would be able to rush through the enemy!
Han Xiao had many abilities, but this temporary Character Summon Card had drawn his Machinery Affinity. This was not a skill but one of the Han Technician's basic attributes, so it had become a UFF buff effect.
Without using any skills, Han Xiao's talents and passive abilities had increased his Machinery Affinity by 247%. Once he used a skill, this number would increase by one to two hundred. This was the simplest effect, but it was also the most brutal buff.
This was because Machinery Affinity was the core attribute of the Mechanic class, and it directly affected their combat power!
As the level of the Mechanic class increased, the Machinery Affinity would continue to increase. However, using the temporary Character Summon Card would give an additional buff, which was a complete leap in strength! It was almost equivalent to temporarily gaining the attributes of a few dozen levels later!
And after a few dozen levels … it was the level of the Mechanic class!
Luckily, the temporary Character Summon Card could only be used once. If it became a fixed skill of the players, it would be incredible. Lonely like snow, invincible, invincible, invincible!
Looking at Mad Blade's heavy breathing and extremely excited expression, Han Xiao stroked his chin and was extremely curious.
"What ability did this kid get? Why is he so excited?"
…
"Mad Blade, Angry Sword, third place in the Blue Star division Singles, Mechanical Pugilist class, known as the number one Mechanical Pugilist in China … heh."
In the stronghold of the Key Club on Planet Winterfrost, Key of Solomon casually browsed through the information of his next opponent in the individual competition. He smiled casually, and his tone carried faint pride and strong confidence. "Looks like there's no suspense."
"You're planning to use Howling Gate?" the old member 'Cursed Scepter' asked.
"You're thinking too much. I don't even need to use my trump card to win the next opponent. I dare to bet that experts like Lost Angel, Rose Knight's Golden-champagne, and Devil's Marshall-Scarlet all have their ultimate moves. Although I'm currently ranked seventh, as long as I use my trump card, I'll definitely be able to reach the top. However, it's enough to just get out of the group stage. It's best to save my trump card for the finals."
Key of Solomon was very confident in his trump card. [Howling Gate] was a special casting tool that he had obtained from an extremely difficult hidden mission. Although he didn't know what the trump cards of the other experts were, he was confident that he was invincible in one-on-one battles at this level. Even if he didn't use his trump card, his combat power was one of the best. Being able to fight to the seventh place already showed his strength.
After this round, my ranking will increase by one more place. The last few opponents are more difficult to deal with, so I can preserve my strength and intentionally lose. This way, my ranking will probably drop to 15th place, just enough to guarantee that I can get out of the group stage. That's enough …
Based on the prerequisite of winning the next round, Key of Solomon started to formulate the final group stage plan. In his eyes, the next round was a bonus before facing a strong opponent. Victory was already in his hands, and he did not even have to consider the possibility of losing.
Winning was a certainty. It just depended on what method he used to win.
…
Mad Blade was one of the few Mechanics in the International Individual Competition, and he was also the only seedling of China's Mechanic class. He had the title of 'China's Number One Mechanical Pugilist' and received the attention of many fans and viewers.
Since the start of the competition, Mad Blade's performance had been average, and he was ranked in the middle. However, even in the matches that he won, the viewers could see that it was very difficult for him to win. His ranking could not increase at all, as if he had already reached his limit.
Among the three Chinese players, King Admiral was ranked at the top and did not have to worry about getting out of the group stage. Meanwhile, SnowFlower was ranked at the bottom. Now that the competition was more than halfway through, unless he won all the following matches, there was no hope for him to get out of the group stage. Meanwhile, Mad Blade was at the edge of the sixteenth place and had the chance to become the second Chinese player to get out of the group stage. He carried the hopes of many fans.
Mad Blade's following match schedule was more extreme. He would either be facing the top ten experts or the weaker ones at the bottom. According to the analysis of his fans, even if he could defeat all the weaker players, his points would be slightly lower. He would have to defeat at least one expert to have a chance of getting out of the group stage. However, Mad Blade's current performance was not good. His chances of winning against experts were very low, and the situation was not optimistic.
His opponent for this round was [Key of Solomon], who was ranked seventh.
Many fans were secretly anxious and cheered for him. There were also people who were sarcastic, saying that Mad Blade had been blindly praised as the number one Mechanical Pugilist in China and had embarrassed himself overseas. In short, there were all kinds of comments on the forums.
No matter how one looked at things, time would not slow down. The day of the competition arrived on time.
Mad Blade and Key of Solomon entered the competition venue. The screen that the audience saw had their HP, stamina, status bar, and other attribute values. The situation of the match was clear at a glance, and it was convenient to watch.
The battle venue was a huge city. Tall and thick concrete and steel walls surrounded the city tightly. The two of them landed on the two ends of this huge wall that was dozens of meters tall and four to five meters wide on average. They could see each other's tiny figures from afar.
In the screen, the north wind blew, dark clouds covered the city, and flying sand and leaves. It was desolate and vast.
The audience zoomed out from the God's perspective and realized that the outside of the huge wall was painted with a few big words in red paint.
[Black Phantom Sanctuary Three]
"Haha, I actually randomly got this venue."
"Yo, I recognize this place. Isn't this our planet's Sanctuary Three?"
