[Switch: Swap places between yourself and your summoned beasts instantly. Cooldown: 3 minutes. Note: The distance between the summoned beasts and their owner cannot exceed 40 yards or the skill will be ineffective otherwise.]
This skill which was known as the trashiest in the summoning class was the determiner between victory or defeat!
In an interval of fewer than 0.5 seconds from beginning to the end, the changes had occurred so quickly that all those who were present merely stared blankly.
Qing Pingle who was slightly unsatisfied said, “How treacherous.”
Chen Yang snorted, “Wasn’t it treacherous for you to shoot while circling me?”
Qing Pingle shook his head and laughed bitterly. He regretted his own calculation errors. It would have been fine if he had just shot downward continuously earlier. He blamed it on himself for being too impatient.
“Don’t assume that it was just a fluke earlier. Even if you didn’t come over just now, I wouldn’t have lost either.”
Chen Yang sneered while his feet accelerated suddenly as he charged toward Qing Pingle’s side.
“Take a good look, I haven’t used my Dwarf Innate Ability. As long as I can get close, I can use Switch to swap places with my pet at any time.”
Qing Pingle shook his head and said, “If I wasn’t affected by hit recovery because of the Charge state, I would’ve run away just as you’d approached me.”
“Keep dreaming. I would’ve used my body to block you beforehand!”
“Next!”
When he saw that these two people were speaking long-windedly without any sign of ending while they stood on stage, Li Yi became slightly impatient. He yelled at them curtly and chased the arguing pair off the stage.
Moonlight Ocean and a Wizard walked up.
She had advanced after ten complete victories in battle just like Chen Yang which undeniably shocked Li Yi.
She used Stealth, Backstab, Scrape, and Bloodletting!
[KO!]
Moonlight Ocean merely used 8 seconds to get rid of her opponent before advancing successfully.
The next ones to come forward were a pair of Giants, Orchid Elf and One Gunman. This couple…
The contest between both parties was decided randomly by drawing lots. Thus, no one would have known that this type of assignment would emerge.
“I surrender.” Before they had even started fighting, One Gunman had already raised his hands.
“Next person!”
The Wutong sisters appeared on the stage one after another. Both of them had advanced.
…
When the second round of advancements had ended, there were six people in total who were left on the stage.
Chen Yang, Moonlight Ocean, the Wutong sisters, the Human Punishment Paladin called Not-a-confused-brother and an Orc Priest named Wu Old Wolf.
“The battle records of these six people are all complete victories as of now while the others who lost one or two rounds have all been automatically eliminated.” Fire Ice was making calculations on one side.
One could disregard the fact that Fire Ice was not good at PK because she was considerably excellent at things like making calculations. Li Yi was initially dizzy during the first advancements because there were too many people and some of them had fought while others had not. He was merely moving back and forth in a confused state. Fortunately, Fire Ice was here to help examine. Only then were they able to proceed to the last step so quickly.
He had truly never imagined that she would be such a good helper to solve internal affairs.
During the first showdown when Moonlight Ocean was battling Zimu Wutong, Zimu Wutong’s figure gradually vanished just as everyone was looking forward to the start of a malicious battle…
She had gone offline…
“I need to go off too because our mother is calling us. I’ll come back online once I’ve finished my homework…”
Qingshui Wutong went offline too.
Li Yi was speechless…
All of the guild members were speechless…
Once these two youngsters had gone offline, there were only 4 people left. In order to fill the openings, Fire Ice selected two people out of the eliminated members. Qing Pingle and an Undead Wizard named Wang Wang were resurrected by good luck.
Both of them had merely lost one round and were initially unsatisfied on the inside at first. Now that they had entered the playing field again, they were naturally overjoyed and particularly cherished this chance.
Sparks were flying out of Chen Yang and Qing Pingle’s gazes when their eyes met. Qing Pingle had not accepted his recent defeat while Fatty was thinking of making him surrender completely.
These six people drew lots again to assign their opponents.
In the first round, Wu Old Wolf was contesting against Moonlight Ocean.
As the only person who had advanced in the healer class, Wu Old Wolf was certainly not mediocre either. When both sides were engaged in battle, Moonlight Ocean used the Stealth skill. However, she was unable to successfully move around to his back all along because his awareness of guarding himself was too strong. He relied on moving around continuously which actually made it harder for Moonlight Ocean to find a chance.
“Puff!”
Moonlight Ocean lost her patience and used the Chisel attack directly.
The Chisel move hit its target on the mark and Wu Old Wolf fell into a state of 4-second paralysis. Moonlight Ocean’s Stealth Mode was also canceled. She circled towards Wu Old Wolf’s back at lightning speed. She lifted both blades consecutively and used Backstab and Scrape!
[-90]
[-112]
Wu Old Wolf’s HP decreased by half instantly. When he recovered at this moment, the surface of his body had suddenly turned red. He stomped his foot on the ground vigorously to unleash the Orc’s Innate Ability, Battle Trample.
[Battle Trample: Instantaneous Skill. Can interrupt the opponent’s spellcasting while causing all of the surrounding enemies within a radius of 10 yards to fall into a 2-second comatose state. Cooldown: five minutes.]
Wu Old Wolf lifted his Staff while white light washed over his body continuously before his HP was instantly filled again. Moonlight Ocean recovered as well. She utilized her Death Cloak before using Stealth once again…
This was a battle that would cause others to feel considerably fatigued as well. Moonlight Ocean’s attack could not be aimed precisely at Wu Old Wolf at all. Conversely, although Wu Old Wolf’s ATK was terribly weak, his healing skills were extremely powerful instead. He could fill himself back up almost instantly. Both of them fought for a long time. Even though Wu Old Wolf still had full HP, he had worn down half of Moonlight Ocean’s HP.
“Did you see that? There’s no such thing as a trashy class but merely trashy players,” said One Big Bun to Pretty Good Mood while sighing emotionally.
Pretty Good Mood, “…”
When Wu Old Wolf fully restored his own HP again, Moonlight Ocean raised her hands and surrendered on her own…
She had no way of fighting him. Unless she could kill Wu Old Wolf instantly, there was no chance of her obtaining victory at all. Was she going to wait until his mana-restoring equipment ran out? This OP player wore mana-restoring equipment on his entire body. Unless he healed himself frequently, he would not run out of mana even if he fought for an entire day.
This battle turned an initial nobody like Wu Old Wolf into the idol of the guild’s healer class suddenly…
He was so cool. Although this was only the PK contest of a small guild, Wu Old Wolf’s performance had undoubtedly snatched some glory for the players who played in the healer class.
The next battle was between Wizard Wang Wang and Tall and Mighty. In the end, numerous Orc chicks were dejected when Chen Yang who was performing in an extraordinarily brave manner all this while was defeated in this battle.
When the fight had just started, Wizard Wang Wang increased the distance between himself and Chen Yang. Chen Yang used Instant Slip-Away but he used Flash (Teleport) and pissed Fatty off until he howled as he stared blankly while being unable to catch up to him.
The Wizard Wang Wang was a player who used Ice Magic. The Frost Arrow also deserved credit for this because it managed to trigger freezing effects two consecutive times. He managed to force Chen Yang down on the spot.
“Wizards are all OP so Brother shouldn’t feel embarrassed for losing.” Chen Yang kept an honorable stance despite losing when he exited the stage. This caused the Orc chicks to scream continuously.
The last group that appeared on the stage were Qing Pingle and the Punishment Paladin called Not-a-confused-brother.
Li Yi had seen Not-a-confused-brother’s name in his previous life. He also had a fairly deep impression of him because this person was considered as a ruthless individual who did not thread on the usual path but would specifically engage in independent actions instead.
He was clearly playing as a Punishment Paladin but he persistently wore a set of defensive equipment that was used by main tanks. He did not use Two-handed Weapons but used Single-handed ones instead so that he could hold a shield.
His DEF could be compared to that of a genuine main tank but he needed to put in extra effort for the orthodox Punishment Paladin matters in addition to that. His DEF was awesome indeed but his ATK was lacking. He would not be qualified to be a DPS but he would be lacking in a considerable amount of skills if he was a main tank. For instance, he was not up to standard in either Block, Parry, or Dodge that were a main tank’s three most important Attributes.
He was incapable of being either main tank or DPS. Moreover, he would leech when he joined a party and fought an Instance Dungeon with them. However, the equipment that he wore did have its benefits. It was always more resistant during PK or when he solo-ed Elementary-level Instance Dungeons.
Qing Pingle still continued using kiting Battle Tactics but he had used them on the wrong opponent this time.
Although the Paladin class was notable for their shortcomings as they did not have many long-distance skills, their other skills could still be considered as all-rounded.
When he was facing Not-a-confused-brother who had great defenses and high HP, Qing Pingle’s attacks could only deal 20+ damage. Meanwhile, his opponent could continuously use Healing Spells for HP resumption while finding the time to chase him simultaneously.
Qing Pingle suffered two Holy Light Trials after he was forced into a corner of the training field. His HP decreased by half suddenly and he had no choice but to strike back and chop stubbornly. After more than ten blows, Not-a-confused-brother still had 60% of his HP remaining while Qing Pingle was lying on the ground.
Three powerful individuals were produced. They were Not-a-confused-brother, Ice Wizard Wang Wang, and Priest Wu Old Wolf.
However, Ice Wizard Wang Wang lost his right to challenge because he was previously defeated. He merely obtained the third place of this PK contest.
The final battle was between Not-a-confused-brother and Wu Old Wolf.
Trouble had arrived.
Although both of them could heal themselves, their attacks were not considered powerful which made it impossible for either of them to kill their opponents during the fight. One of them would use Holy Light to heal themselves while the other would use Healing Spells. There would be no end to this when they started healing…
After fighting for more than twenty long minutes, Wu Old Wolf was slightly stronger in the end. He relied on the advantages of the mana-restoring equipment set and exhausted Not-a-confused-brother to death forcibly.
The healer class had seized the first place! It went without saying that this was an incident where a complete nobody had won the competition.
Li Yi did not go back on his word. He distributed the prize money that he had promised beforehand to the first three winners.
“During this unscheduled PK contest that our guild organized, not only do the top three receive rewards, but all of the members who are present will obtain a reward of an attendance bonus of +100 Guild Points without exception.”
“The Guild Master is brilliant!”
All the guild members were extremely delighted.
Chen Yang who was still not won over said, “That’s not fair, Brother Yi. Are you brave enough to go at it once with me?”
Li Yi smiled and said, “Are we betting on something?”
Chen Yang sneered, “We’ll bet on that INT-increasing gold-colored ring in the guild’s inventory.”
“The ring is mine, so what happens if I win?”
“There’s no way I’ll lose.” Chen Yang was equally confident.
“That’s good then. If I win, you’ll be responsible for taking Mood and the others to Level 20. How about that?”
“Come on, come on.”
Chen Yang took large strides and ran towards the training field. He charged towards Li Yi and hollered at him with all his might as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
Li Yi grinned widely and walked onto the training field.
“Begin!”
Chen Yang waved his staff once and summoned a Fire Spirit to attack.
Li Yi raised his bow and shot an arrow. However, he did not shoot Chen Yang but shot his Fire Spirit Pet instead.
“Puff! Puff!”
[-180]
[-219]
He shot a Crippling Strike with another arrow after using the Chain Arrow Skill. The Fire Spirit Pet turned into ashes before it could even run towards Li Yi or approach him.
Chen Yang summoned it again but Li Yi still only shot the pet but did not shoot him. He took a few steps back and got rid of the Fire Spirit Pet.
Chen Yang summoned it yet again but Li Yi continued to shoot. Chen Yang wanted to summon it once more but could not do it anymore…
Although the Cooldown for the skills of summoned pets was only 10 seconds, 30% of one’s own MP would be consumed every time the pets were summoned. Although Chen Yang’s skills had finished their Cooldown period, his MP had not.
When Li Yi’s arrow was aimed directly at Chen Yang, Chen Yang waved his hand immediately and surrendered dejectedly.
Without his summoned soldier or pet, he did not have any other abilities besides being taken advantage of by others…
Li Yi had won too easily. When the guild members below the stage finished witnessing the decisive battle between these two people, they felt as if they had awakened from a dream. Their Vice Guild Master was apparently the true powerhouse instead.
Once the PK contest had ended, the guild members dispersed but Li Yi remembered each and every one of the candidates whom he had approved of in his heart.
He did not organize this PK contest simply as a last minute plan.
The date where Star Fire Guild was planning to get the first kill of Molten Furnace would officially arrive three days later. He was unwilling to cooperate with God Creator Guild but it did not mean that he did not desire to take the first kill of Molten Furnace!
If he wanted to take it, he would take it with the strength of his own guild and take real action to give Star Fire a painful slap in the face!
