Chapter 1232: Fighting With Your Brain
“Handsome your head…”
w.a.n.g Yu was speechless. The fans acted as though he had already won the match just because he ran faster.
Even though w.a.n.g Yu didn’t like Sword of Thunderbolt too, Samadhi Fire’s fans made it hard for w.a.n.g Yu to support this fella.
Of course, w.a.n.g Yu’s liking was one thing. This Samadhi Fire lad was indeed pretty decent.
After attaining the vantage point, Samadhi Fire swung his staff towards the ground.
“Whoosh…”
A fire wall obstructed Sword of Thunderbolt’s path as Samadhi Fire raised his left palm. Fire dragons flew out of Samadhi Fire’s palm and towards Sword of Thunderbolt.
In a blink of an eye, Sword of Thunderbolt was completely engulfed by Samadhi Fire’s magic.
This was also why Magicians were especially effective against Warriors. A Magician’s attack was something even a Warrior couldn’t do anything.
And he was merely a fire type Magician. If he was an ice type Magician, the Warrior wouldn’t even be able to run at all.
Just when everyone was convinced that Sword of Thunderbolt would die from that attack, who would have expected Sword of Thunderbolt to use [Charge] towards the direction that he came from. That quick thinking allowed him to dodge Samadhi Fire’s magic.
In terms of jobs, Samadhi Fire already held the upper hand compared to Sword of Thunderbolt. Now that he also held the advantage in the map, he was naturally not going to let Sword of Thunderbolt escape just like that. Therefore, he chased after him without hesitation.
Sword of Thunderbolt did not even turn his head as he continued running.
Looking at this scene, Boson made a malicious conjecture, “Is that Sword of Thunderbolt scared out of his wits? Why didn’t he turn to attack?”
“Tsk!” Fearless couldn’t help but sneer, “What do you know? Never press an enemy at bay get it? This is such an obvious trap and he still dares to chase after him. I wonder who gives him all that confidence?”
w.a.n.g Yu chuckled, “Probably his fans.”
“Hmm…”
Everyone heard w.a.n.g Yu as they lifted their heads to look at how excited his fans were. They couldn’t help but agree with w.a.n.g Yu.
The fact that these players from the Heavenly Fire Squad made it into the professional scenes despite their young age meant that they had a decent potential to begin with. If they took this game seriously, they could become much stronger than most of the players here.
However, this bunch of players were spoiled by their brainless fans. They could earn big bucks even without winning the compet.i.tion which explained their lack of work ethics to improve themselves. In fact, some of them were even better in the past than they are now.
Just like the first match of this compet.i.tion, this bunch of players didn’t even plan their strategy according to the map. They simply fought the moment they appeared on stage and that clearly indicated the lack of proper training and discipline. Therefore, it was not a surprise that they would lose the remaining matches.
This match was not any different from the previous ones. This Samadhi Fire did not even use his brain as he started chasing after Sword of Thunderbolt. Did he really think he looks very handsome doing that?
While everyone was making fun of him, Samadhi Fire was already brought down from the high point by Sword of Thunderbolt.
Keep Watch Island was a dilapidated island. Besides the highland which had a clear view of the horizon, everywhere else was filled with bunkers.
The moment Samadhi Fire was off the high ground, Sword of Thunderbolt made use of the smoke in the area to escape from Samadhi Fire’s field of vision.
Magician and Archers were both long-distance jobs who valued the importance of having a good field of vision.
WIth that field of vision, Samadhi Fire wouldn’t be able to aim at his target and just like that, his firepower would decrease by at least half.
When Samadhi Fire realised that he had lost sight of Sword of Thunderbolt, he started panicking in his heart. He turned around and wanted to head back to the high ground.
Why did Sword of Thunderbolt run away? It was mainly because he knew that he couldn’t face Samadhi Fire’s firepower directly.
Sword of Thunderbolt became worried the moment Samadhi Fire turned around.
He lowered his head, bent over and charged.
Sword of Thunderbolt quickly s.h.i.+fted to the back of Samadhi Fire as he drew his Western Sword and attempted to strike it through Samadhi Fire’s back.
When experts met, a gap in the defense was more than enough to determine the winner. Moreover, Samadhi Fire exposed such a huge gap by turning his back.
[Sudden Attack]!
Samadhi Fire was struck off balance by this sword.
Following that, Sword of Thunderbolt suddenly turned his body, grabbed his sword with both hands and jumped upwards.
[Rising Dragon]!
The unbalanced Samadhi Fire was tossed into the air.
A lightning bolt suddenly flashed across his body as Sword of Thunderbolt shouted, “[Thunder Sudden Attack]!”
Lightning bolts started flas.h.i.+ng across Sword of Thunderbolt’s sword as he struck it through Samadhi Fire’s body.
Samadhi Fire’s health decreased significantly from the first strike and eventually, the very last move was enough to turn him into white light.
“See that? This is a cla.s.sic example of being brainless!” When Fearless saw how easy it was to kill Samadhi Fire, he shook his head helplessly before adding, “However, it seems like the Kingdom of h.e.l.l grew some brains this time around.”
Fearless pointed at Sword of Thunderbolt on stage.
“Really?” Boson rolled his eyes, “He still looks like an idiot to me.”
“Haha!” Fearless patted on Boson’s shoulder, “An idiot will not know how to make use of his terrain. Making use of the terrain to make up for the difference in strength is a true use of one’s brain.”
…
After Sword of Thunderbolt attained his victory, he couldn’t escape the scoldings from the opponent’s fans. However, this Sword of Thunderbolt was pretty decent so he wasn’t scolded as badly as G.o.d of Death’s Left Hand.
n.o.body would feel good after being scolded by others for no logical reasons. Since they were the fans of Heavenly Fire Squad, the experts from Kingdom of h.e.l.l were naturally going to vent their anger on the Heavenly Fire Squad themselves.
Without superiority over strength and tactics, the cheers and screams from Heavenly Fire Squad’s fans were not going to increase their attributes. Without any surprises, the Heavenly Fire Squad suffered a heavy defeat against Kingdom of h.e.l.l.
The following few matches were not meaningful at all.
The opponents were either too strong or too weak. By 5 pm, all eight matches were completed.
Eight teams advanced to the stage of the compet.i.tion tomorrow.
With Tranquility Yields Transcendence around, the Heavenly Dragon Squad made it into the top eight easily. They were a ma.s.sive underdog in this compet.i.tion.
When the day had ended, the Quan Zhen Sect was just about to leave the venue when Sword of Thunderbolt led the players from Kingdom of h.e.l.l towards the Quan Zhen Sect.
The Quan Zhen Sect came to a halt immediately.
“Hey!” Sword of Thunderbolt lifted his chin at Boson in a provocative manner, “You look pretty decent lying down in today’s compet.i.tion.”
Among the three rounds, Boson only appeared in the last match where he got lucky because of w.a.n.g Yu’s incredible skills. He really didn’t do much in that last match.
“…”
Hearing Sword of Thunderbolt’s mockery, Boson’s face turned red.
Fearless smiled and replied, “You are pretty decent too to know how to hug onto Kingdom of h.e.l.l’s thigh.”
“You…” Sword of Thunderbolt was infuriated the moment he heard Fearless’ words.
However, everyone else revealed satisfied expressions.
One had to admit that Fearless was an expert in mind games. With a simple line like that, he managed to oppress Sword of Thunderbolt and also leave a good impression in the minds of the Kingdom of h.e.l.l’s players. At the same time, Sword of Thunderbolt who joined the Kingdom of h.e.l.l late suddenly felt a barrier between himself and the older players.
“Haha.” Seeing Sword of Thunderbolt’s expression, Boson added, “There is nothing embarra.s.sing about hugging someone’s thigh. Look at how good I look lying down!”
“Tsk! My girlfriend is waiting for me! Bye!”
Sword of Thunderbolt grunted, turned and left the venue.
