“What? Legendary items? Sub-Legendary items?” Not to mention the audience, even Lin Jie was astonished. It was a team competition! Each participant could draw a reward. Therefore, if they were really lucky, then the championship team could obtain five Legendary items? Such a reward extent was astonishing!
As Lin Qingyu explained with a soft voice, the rewards for this Best Of The Best finals were also revealed.
The rewards for the fourth to tenth place were Level+1, the lowest reward when drawing would be Gold equipment, and a small probability of obtaining Dark Gold fragments.
The rewards for third place were Level+1, the lowest reward when drawing would be Dark Gold fragments, and a small probability of obtaining complete Dark Gold equipment.
The rewards for the second place were Level+2, the lowest reward when drawing would be Dark Gold equipment, and a small probability of obtaining a complete set of Dark Gold Fragments.
The rewards for the first place were Level+3, the lowest reward when drawing would be a set of Dark Gold Fragments, and a small probability of obtaining Sub-Legendary equipment or even Legendary items!
Such a rich reward, The New Age officials had really paid a huge price! The luxurious 100,000 cash reward was instead ignored as compared to Sub-Legendary equipment; those 100,000 in cash were simply nothing!
“Sub-Legendary equipment! We must obtain the championship! If we receive five Sub-Legendary items, then we will overpower everyone!” said Baili Changcheng excitedly. “By then, we would have more bargaining chips in our hands. Attracting investments would simply be a piece of cake.”
Lin Jie smiled slightly. “The number of people eying the first place is not in the few, and also, the so-called small probability… Anyone who has played games for many years would know that those three words are completely a bluff, right?”
“Have some confidence in your luck, alright?” Bu Yi sniffed her small nose and said, “Also, no matter what, I don’t want the championship to be snatched by Eighteen Massacres. They are just too evil!”
“Alright! Then let’s take the championship,” said Lin Jie with a smile, as if it was as easy as saying let’s go grab a meal.
“You’re domineering enough. I like that!” Charming Smile gave a thumbs up.
On the other side, after the superstar Lin Qingyu had finished reading the rewards, she started to announce the final rules for the finals. As five teams were participating, AI would be relied on to choose the strongest team to have a round of bye and directly fight for the championship. In other words, that team could at least obtain the rewards of the second place!
“The team that will have a bye in this finals is—” Lin Qingyu announced, “Kingdom of Glory! Would Eighteen Massacres, Chaos In The Sky, Baili Xuanyuan, Baizhan Yusheng, and Zi Mo, please rest temporarily! Coming up would be the remaining four teams to fight, and two would emerge as winners!”
Everyone was shocked!
“You gotta be kidding me!? The strongest team is not Lone Wolf?”
“AI, are you crazy? Look at Lone Wolf’s equipment, aren’t you just allowing him to bully others?”
“Is it possible that the Kingdom of Glory team is even stronger than Lone Wolf?”
Such a result was really unexpected. Everyone had thought that the team with bye would be Brotherhood, but who would have expected for the system to affirm that the strongest team was the Kingdom of Glory! Instantly, many people wavered.
Lin Jie did not find it weird as Eighteen Massacres was the Shrine Master of Blood Sub-Shrine, so his status itself had added many points. Also, Baili Xuanyuan and Chaos In The Sky had hidden jobs, and the Priest named Zi Mo was also mysterious. Therefore, although the calculation ability of the AI was abnormally strong, it was still unable to calculate people’s schemes and techniques. Thus, it was not weird for the AI to judge the Kingdom of Glory as the strongest.
The only thing that Lin Jie was discontented with was that he was unable to directly eliminate that team before they entered the top three!
The groupings for the finals were quickly decided.
Supreme Brotherhood VS Never Setting Sun.
Dark Shadow VS Return of The Kings.
Eighteen Massacres’ eyes gleamed as he sneered. “Lone Wolf, your luck is not bad. You can barely make it to third place and get some rewards.”
Third place?
Obviously, what Eighteen Massacres was saying was, although Lin Jie would be able to defeat Never Setting Sun, they wouldn’t even be able to defeat the other group’s victorious team! Not to mention obtaining the championship.
Lin Jie looked at him with contempt. “I thought that you were only thick-skinned, but now I know that you don’t even have face. You should look at yourself first as all your abilities now are those I didn’t want and tossed to you.”
“Wait and see.” Eighteen Massacres left such a sentence with his eyes full of malicious intent.
The five people from the Kingdom of Glory retreated back into the air amongst all the envious looks. They could at least obtain the reward of Level+2 and Dark Gold equipment. Those were rewards that normal players would dream of obtaining already.
The battleground was where the last battles of Best Of The Best would occur!
The first battle: Supreme Brotherhood VS Never Setting Sun.
Scorching Sun’s Never Setting Sun was developing quite well, as their robbery-like developing strategy had snatched almost all of the resources in Sunshine City. However, that had left many players discontent, and such a guild, which did not have the people’s support, would be destroyed sooner or later. However, Scorching Sun did not care about it as all he wanted to do now was to show the strength of Never Setting Sun, giving his all to attract investment from the real world, and thus earning a huge sum of money within The New Age.
The distribution of roles in the Never Setting Sun team was simple. Besides Never Setting Sun, the other four were all Mages. The standard artillery distribution.
Scorching Sun’s armor, pauldron, and helmet were shining brightly with the golden Sun Shrine mark and glittered with gold light. That was the component of the Dark Gold Set [Son of Sun]. Although it was not complete, its attributes were not to be underestimated.
The four Mages all wore the [Blazing Sun Flicker Set], which was a Gold set obtained from the Level 50 dungeon [Eternal Sun Canyon]. It had an additional 30% Fire Damage, so stacking with four top Fire Mages, who could deal explosively high damage in a short period of time, it was as if they could kill anyone instantly!
Scorching Sun’s plan was very simple, just as he entered the ring, he did not hold back and said, “Instakill Lone Wolf first.”
3!
2!
1!
“Battle begins!”
“Light of Scorching Sun!” Just as the battle began, Scorching Sun spread his hands wide, and an eye-piercing light was emitted. Such a skill could control the line of sight of enemies within a 35-yard radius. It would cause the radius of the targets’ vision to decrease by 50%, and if one continued opening their eyes, then they would be temporarily blinded.
Lin Jie squinted his eyes, then suddenly, he felt something scorching hot in front of him. Those four Mages had already finished channeling Pyroblasts with the cover of Light of Scorching Sun, and four large Fireballs had been shot!
No, not only so!
“Keen Sight!”
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, and he clearly saw the instant where the four Mages had released Pyroblasts. Mysterious Arcane runes appeared on the tip of their staves. Lin Jie had seen such a skill before—Presence of Mind! It was an explosive-type skill, which could reduce the channeling time of the next skill to zero!
After those four Pyroblasts were released, Pyroblasts immediately followed again! The amount of Magic Damage they would deal was something Warriors would not be able to endure. Even if Lin Jie’s Mana Defense was quite good, he couldn’t take the bombardment of eight Pyroblasts.
Scorching Sun smirked confidently. ‘Lone Wolf, with your arrogance, would you use your ultimate skill immediately? No! The fact you have taken us lightly has decided your death!’
Ssss~ Ssss~
An ear-piercing burning sound resounded in the air like music. Scorching Sun was full of joy as he waited for a corpse to appear. However, who would have expected that after the fire had dissipated, the figure that appeared was unscathed! The scaly armor on his body covered his muscles and face, while the beating Heart of Enrage thumped rhythmically. However, what was the strangest was that black smoke was being emitted from Lin Jie’s mouth.
Skill: Devour!
The four Mages were stunned, too—it was a total of eight Pyroblast! Even a Shield Specialist would be instakilled, right? However, that person did not even lose any health points!
The more one relied on their skills, the larger the frustration when that skill failed. The four Mages had instantly given up on the thought of resisting as even if they faced Lin Jie head-on, they would not be his opponent at all! All Never Setting Sun team members were instakilled quickly, and they had lost.
Supreme Brotherhood, victory!
After being teleported out of the battleground, Bu Yi heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, “I thought you would be instakilled.”
“The person who can instakill me has yet to be born, don’t worry,” said Lin Jie with a smile. He was fearless as not to mention he had the Dark Chaotic Hole skill. Even if he did nothing, Bu Yi’s Ten Shields Spell could also allow him to survive perfectly. However, the disadvantage of the Ten Shields Spell was that it consumed too much mana. Once it was used, the team would face losing the ability to continue the match for a long time.
Immediately after, it was the team of Very Fat and Dark Earl [Return of The Kings] VS [Dark Shadow].
“Dark, Brother Lone Wolf has won beautifully. We can’t lose face,” said Very Fat with a smile.
Dark Earl’s iconic low laughter could be heard, but his eyes looked towards above the ring. There, Eighteen Massacres was gesturing to Feng Yun 21. The contents of the gestures were very simple—right hand to the throat, then pull horizontally.
Feng Yun 21 understood and turned to stare straight at Dark Earl—that skeleton body made chills run down one’s spine.
The battle had begun! Lin Jie immediately widened his eyes to observe carefully.
The distribution of roles in Return of The Kings was very traditional, one Knight, one Hunter, one Ice Mage, and a Summoner together with the Hidden Job Vampire.
Such a distribution of roles, whether it was physical attacks, magical attacks, containing, or controlling the opponents, the effects would be extremely good. Meanwhile, the Hidden Job Vampire was the most versatile.
This was definitely an evenly-matched battle. It was also a chance to observe Dark Shadow’s strength!
“Death Summon!” What the five-man from Dark Shadow did was no different from when battling Steel Allies, they had immediately summoned an immense number of Undead creatures.
“Vampire’s Cloak, Bats Descend!” Dark Earl opened his cloak, and his body turned into tens of bats before flying away. The skill of his Vampire’s Cloak, together with him turning into bats, was quite powerful. His real body was hidden within one of the bats, while the other bats shared the 100% Attack enhancement from his original body. Also, when he dealt damage, he could heal himself even beyond his health points, and that extra amount healed could be converted into his maximum health points after returning to his real body. At that time, the Dark Earl would become a more powerful tank than a Shield Specialist!
“You’re looking for death!”
Feng Yun 21 smiled hideously. “Bone Dragon!”
The tide-like Undead creatures instantly gathered to form a Bone Dragon as big as a mountain’s peak! That Bone Dragon opened its mouth, and the soul fire instantly burned most of the bats. Its tail pierced into one of the bats, which was small and weak—that bat was the real body of Dark Earl!
