Chapter 178

They could play and perform however they wanted.

Huge light screens appeared in mid-air, allowing the information on them to be viewed from all 360 degrees without any blind spots.

The light screens displayed the information of all the Professionals on each arena.

By understanding the information and observing others' matches, one could also learn a lot.

Match after match was held continuously; teams were either promoted or eliminated at a very rapid pace.

Some teams even decided the victor within a single minute, showing that the gap in strength was indeed massive.

Near noon, it was finally the Lin Moyu team's turn.

The group stepped onto the arena, and at the same time, their opponents, Team 513, also walked up.

One Knight, two Supports, one Archer, and one Mage.

A very standard combination.

It was also the combination used by most teams.

As they stepped onto the stage, their team information was also displayed on the large light screen.

Sharp-eyed people immediately spotted Lin Moyu's name.

"Lin Moyu, Level 27, Necromancer…"

"I've never heard of this class. Is it a newly emerged one?"

"Necromancer… by the looks of it, it should be a class of the Mage series, and a very strong one at that."

"It's definitely strong. You can tell just by looking at his previous performance."

Lin Moyu's name attracted particular attention.

His previous performance was simply too eye-catching.

His outstanding performance in the solo tournament also reminded people of the previous team tournament.

Many believed that the reason Lin Moyu's team could suddenly take first place was also thanks to Lin Moyu.

On the arena, the two teams stood on opposite sides, twenty meters apart.

Jiang Taotao and the opposing Knight named Luo Miao both assumed battle stances.

The two Knights locked eyes, staring intently at each other.

Their fighting spirit surged.

Luo Miao was Level 27, three levels higher than Jiang Taotao.

However, below Level 30, a three-level difference would not create an overwhelming gap.

Jiang Taotao was not afraid of her.

The opponent also knew that a higher level of a few levels could not determine the outcome, so they were also fully prepared.

Everyone else besides Lin Moyu was also ready.

Only Lin Moyu took a few steps back, standing casually without any intention of fighting.

This was also what they had agreed upon; he didn't need to make a move at the start.

If they really couldn't win, it wouldn't be too late for him to step in.

With a soft chime, the match officially began.

Duan Gao immediately cast his skill, prioritizing buffing Jiang Taotao.

With a soft shout, Jiang Taotao activated her Charge skill and rushed out.

The opposing Luo Miao did the same, her entire body glowing as she activated her Charge skill.

The Charge skill was one of the most commonly used skills for Knights.

Under the effect of the Charge skill, the twenty-meter distance was crossed in an instant.

Just as the two activated their Charge skills, Miao Yu also activated her skill at the same time.

Skill: Wind Bind!

Chapter 174: Excellent Tactics, First Victory

The charging Luo Miao suddenly stiffened. Her Charge skill was interrupted by Wind Bind, her charging posture was instantly blocked, and she lost her balance.

Miao Yu used this skill at the perfect moment.

Just as Luo Miao was affected, Jiang Taotao arrived with her Charge skill.

Luo Miao let out a cry. With a bang, the off-balance Luo Miao was knocked flying backward.

Jiang Taotao's Charge skill did not stop, and she aggressively charged straight into the opponent's team.

The opponents clearly hadn't expected this. Before their Prophet could finish applying all the buffs, their own Knight had been knocked over, and the opposing Knight was already upon them.

Skill: Mass Taunt!

Jiang Taotao activated her second skill while still in her Charge state.

The Taunt skill was activated, forcing the opponents to focus their attention on her.

No one noticed that Ning Yiyi had already vanished from the field.

Nor did they notice that Duan Gao's buffs were not given to Jiang Taotao, but to Ning Yiyi instead.

Furthermore, he had increased Ning Yiyi's strength, agility, attack speed, and attack power—four different buffs—at the fastest speed possible.

Only after Ning Yiyi vanished did Duan Gao turn around to buff Jiang Taotao.

The four opponents were completely dazed by this sudden tactic.

By the time the Archer and Mage reacted, Jiang Taotao was already right in front of them.

A Knight's greatsword slashed down with a cold gleam.

Blue light flickered as a Magic Shield appeared on the Mage, blocking Jiang Taotao's strike.

The Archer quickly retreated several steps to open up some distance, and a brilliant light burst from their bow.

Triple Shot!

A single arrow split into three, shooting straight at Jiang Taotao.

Jiang Taotao raised her shield to block. Instead of continuing to entangle the Mage or chasing the Archer, she turned and slashed her sword toward the Elder nearby.

"Get back!"

With a shout, Luo Miao rushed back.

She had broken free from Miao Yu's binding skill.

Skill: Taunt!

Luo Miao activated her skill, forcing Jiang Taotao's attention onto herself.

The Mage cast a skill, and a fireball flew toward Jiang Taotao.

With a bang, the fireball exploded. Although Jiang Taotao blocked it with her shield, she still let out a muffled groan from the impact.

A Healing Spell landed on Jiang Taotao; Miao Yu healed her immediately.

Jiang Taotao fell into an encirclement.

With the Knight entangling her and the Archer and Mage launching ranged attacks, Jiang Taotao's situation was precarious.

A Knight's burst damage was not strong, and with the opponent's Elder healing, it was impossible for Jiang Taotao to eliminate her opponent.

It looked like Jiang Taotao had fallen into danger.

However, no one noticed where Ning Yiyi had gone.

Jiang Taotao fought Luo Miao. Even with a four-level difference, she showed no fear at all, instead suppressing Luo Miao in terms of momentum.

She was simultaneously taking the double attacks of the Archer and Mage, while Miao Yu continuously cast Healing Spells from behind.

This put immense pressure on Miao Yu.

Her mental strength depletion was extremely severe.

The opponent's Elder was also casting Healing Spells, and she was much more relaxed than Miao Yu.

Suddenly, her entire body shuddered violently as an excruciating pain pierced her heart.

In the next second, she had already vanished from the arena and appeared below it.

She was dead, insta-killed by someone.

Under the protection of the array, receiving a fatal attack would not result in actual death, but would instead teleport the person below the arena.

The two massive wounds on her body still existed, causing excruciating pain.

In the next second, several powerful Healing Spells landed on her.

The wounds recovered rapidly, and the pain vanished along with them.

The unnoticed Ning Yiyi silently appeared behind the opponent's Healer, unleashing two consecutive skill bursts and directly sending her off the arena.

"Watch out for their Assassin!"

The Archer shouted, activating his Hawkeye skill and spotting the stealthy Ning Yiyi.

Swish! Swish!

Sharp arrows shot toward Ning Yiyi.

Ning Yiyi's movements while in stealth were not as rapid as usual.

Facing the rapidly approaching arrows, she had no choice but to break stealth.

However, Ning Yiyi did not retreat; instead, she charged straight at Luo Miao.

Their team had lost their Elder and their Healer; once injured, they would not be able to receive medical treatment.

Their ability to sustain combat plummeted.

Meanwhile, Jiang Taotao was continuously receiving healing, her combat strength not decreasing in the slightest.

Luo Miao panicked, "Kill their Healer!"

The Archer and Mage attacked Miao Yu simultaneously.

Duan Gao looked as if he had prepared for this long ago, suddenly pulling out a massive shield.

The shield stood on the ground, over one and a half meters tall.

Its attributes didn't matter, and whether he could wield it properly didn't matter either—it just needed to be big.

Duan Gao held up the shield, shielding Miao Yu behind him.

As the attacks landed on the shield, Duan Gao immediately let out continuous, highly exaggerated screams of pain.

A shield could not block all damage.

With Duan Gao's pitiful Level 21 attributes, he instantly sustained significant damage.

After casting a Healing Spell on Jiang Taotao, Miao Yu turned around and cast a Healing Spell on Duan Gao as well.

"Hold on a bit longer!" Miao Yu said in a low voice.

Duan Gao gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, I can hold!"

As long as the Healer didn't die, the team's safety was guaranteed.

It was precisely because of this that the strategy Jiang Taotao and the others had agreed upon was to eliminate the opponent's Healer first.

As an Assassin, Ning Yiyi had a weak presence, making it entirely possible for her to launch a surprise attack and insta-kill the opponent's Healer.

The results proved that it worked exceptionally well.

Jiang Taotao and the others had already seized the initiative.

Lin Moyu watched this, knowing that they were highly likely to win this match.

The opponents probably lacked experience in battling other Professionals.

They looked like they only knew how to run Dungeons, and their actual combat experience was too weak.
