Chapter 1194: Meeting One’s Match
Under the threat from Fearless and the rest. Vainglory went up to the arena noisily with the name of being the obstructor.
After getting on the arena, the first thing that Vainglory did was to point a middle finger.
“OH!”
The audiences were fired up immediately. Being so rude at such an age and pointing middle finger on the arena? Was he trying to make fun of the entire world?
Shadow Craze’s face turned black upon seeing that.
The fact that Quan Zhen Sect made a Priest go on battle showed that they had the intentions of finding out what Spirituals Shadows were up to, and the fact that they made fun of Shadow in the bright daylight showed their bad manners.
Of course, everyone from Quan Zhen Sect knew that the middle finger was for themselves.
<> was a game that puts a lot of emphasis on strategies. Actually, Vainglory was not weak at all, but because of his young age, he did things hastily and could only show his true abilities when he was serious.
After playing the game together for so long, Vainglory had decent equipment but did not have a significant contribution to his tournament results. Everyone did that for him to get a full experience of a tournament, because it would be really embarra.s.sing to lose to such a weak opponent.
One side’s goal was to not lose so badly and the other side’ goal was to not be a coward. Before the battle even started, both sides had a strong aura.
When the countdown ended, Vainglory dashed towards Shadow Craze with [Crus.h.i.+ng Fist], and Shadow Craze did not show any fear as well and used [Charge] as a counter.
The two of them were like angered bulls, charging fiercely towards each other.
Vainglory was a Pugilist and an a.s.sault skill, [Crus.h.i.+ng Fist] could not match [Charge] in terms of judgement.
However, right when they almost clashed with each other, Vainglory cancelled his skill and used [Tumble] on the ground, dodging Shadow Craze’s [Charge] and appearing behind him.
As the top in the representative team in the 10th district, Shadow Craze was not bad in terms of combat skills. After realising Vainglory disappeared, he cancelled [Charge] immediately and activated [Tornado Slash], aiming his huge sword wrapped with air currents towards Vainglory.
As a fragile job, it would not be advantageous for Vainglory to take a blow from [Tornado Slash]. Vainglory, who originally wanted to attack Shadow Craze’s knee from the back, squatted down hurriedly and swept the floor with his right leg, hitting Shadow Craze’s ankle.
After getting swept at the ankle by Vainglory out of a sudden, Shadow Craze’s skill got interrupted and he lost his balance, retreating a few steps back.
Taking the chance when Shadow Craze lost his balance, Vainglory flew up and was about to continue attacking with a [Shadow Chain Kick].
However, Shadow Chain Kick had a long preparation time, and before Vainglory could gather his energy, Shadow Craze had already stabilised himself and grabbed Vainglory’s leg towards himself with [Grappling].
Warriors were strength type jobs and [Grappling] consisted of two stages for them. After pulling the opponent in, there would be a choice of throwing the opponent into the sky or onto the floor. Either of the two outcomes would be worrisome.
Vainglory did not even think and used [Rus.h.i.+ng Knee] onto Shadow Craze’s chin right when he was about to throw Vainglory into the air.
“Bang!”
After a loud thud, Vainglory was thrown out into the air and fell onto the ground horrendously because he used a skill when he was being attacked.
However, Shadow Craze did not have it well too. After getting hit in the knees by Vainglory, he stepped a few steps backwards and suffered a damage of -8954.
Shadow Craze was level 50 with 70 to 80 thousand of HP and Vainglory’s kick took away nearly 10% of the HP.
From just a round of battling, it gave many people heart attacks.
“F*ck! How much agility did he add to be able to keep up with my speed? What a great weapon fight!” Vainglory was still immersed in how great Shadow Craze’s speed was.
Shadow Craze on the other hard became wary of Vainglory, “d.a.m.n it, is he really a Pugilist? If he could train his lousy job till this level, he would have been a G.o.d if he was another job. If this kid is already this good, what about Iron Bull?”
The two of them started sizing each other up.
Meanwhile, the audience in the auditorium were incredibly shocked as well.
Everybody thought that this match would be as boring as the previous three because of the fact that Vainglory pointed a middle finger the moment he stepped up. Who knew that this battle would be so great?
The Dodge Attack just now was already close to professional.
“Couldn’t tell that his kid is quite skilled!”
“Yes, that Warrior is not bad too. After losing three battles, Spiritual Shadows finally showed us something good.”
The audience started talking about the two people on stage.
Quan Zhen Sect was shocked as well, “If he could still match up with the serious Little Chicky, this Shadow Craze must be pretty good.”
“Mmm!” Boson agreed, “If it were me, I would have a slower release of skill and I cannot even guarantee that I can find any loopholes within 20 rounds.”
“Pshh! Too bad, this is not an individual game. No matter how good one is, he cannot help the team when the other members are useless.” Everyone sighed.
w.a.n.g Yu said calmly, “Not true! If their captain were me…”
“F*ck!” All of them interrupted w.a.n.g Yu by exclaiming angrily, “Go away you alien!”
Right when everybody was still in shock, Vainglory seemed to have thought of something immediately and dashed forward with his eyes squinted.
Shadow Craze held his sword horizontally in front of his chest and was waiting.
“Eat my kick!”
When Vainglory got quite close to Shadow Craze, he flew up after a scream.
“Chance!”
Shadow Craze was secretly happy and jumped up.
“[Rising Dragon Slash]!”
“Hehe!”
Vainglory smiled and landed on the ground with [Eagle Stomp] and rolled forward to behind Shadow Craze.
“This move again?”
Shadow Craze cancelled his [Rising Dragon Slash] and wanted to use [Tornado Slash] like what he did just now to force Fearless cancel his attack.
However, the system told him sarcastically, “Your skill is still cooling down!”
“F*ck!”
Shadow Craze’s cold sweat dripped.
Though Shadow Craze’s speed was similar to Vainglory, his skill CD time would never be faster than a Pugilist’s CD time.
Hence, when battling a Pugilist, it had to be a complete control of the situation at the first strike. If the Warrior were to draw with the Pugilist in the first strike, then he would have already lost a huge part of the battle.
By the time a Warrior finished using his skill and waited for his CD, the Pugilist’s skill would have been ready for use again
The victory between the fight of experts was decided by a brief moment of a mistake.
While Shadow Craze was stoning, Vainglory grabbed Shadow Craze’s leg with [Savage Maul] and smashed him onto the floor.
“Heavenly Tyrant Fist Dance!!”
As Vainglory roared, the shadows of numerous fists fell from the sky and landed on Shadow Craze. After the skill attack, Shadow Craze lost a third of his HP and suffered a Stun effect.
Right after that, Vainglory used [Shadow Chain Kick] from top down onto Shadow Craze’s head and Shadow Craze disappeared into a beam of white light before he could even scream.
