Chapter 197

The fifth round…

The rewards are very, very good, far exceeding those of the team competition and individual competition.

Of course, the difficulty is also very, very high.

Just for the first round, one needs to challenge an opponent who is 5 levels higher than oneself.

For example, Lin Moyu is currently level 27, so his first-round opponent would be a level 32 Professional.

As for the opponent's class, it will be randomly selected from among Knight, Mage, and Archer.

The second round will be 10 levels higher than oneself, and the third round will be 15 levels higher.

If Lin Moyu challenges up to the third round, he will have to face a level 42 opponent.

That is a high-level Professional who has completed their second transfer.

Historically, those who can complete the second round of challenges are already few and far between.

Those who can complete the third round of challenges have only appeared a handful of times.

As for those who have completed the fourth round of challenges, they have never appeared.

Three rounds of challenges is the limit, and it has never been broken for hundreds of years.

Some Professionals who are extremely confident in themselves are already eager to try.

A Knight was the first to sign up and walked onto the arena.

This was a Professional from the Eagle Country.

Information appeared on the light screen above the arena.

"Helios, Sword and Shield Knight, Level: 34."

The next second, the arena defender he had to face also appeared on the arena.

It was also a Sword and Shield Knight, a level 39 Sword and Shield Knight.

Lin Moyu felt the opponent's aura and murmured, "A soldier."

Chapter 190: Shenxia Empire soldiers, the world's best.

Helios's aura was different from ordinary Professionals.

Stern and sharp.

It was the kind of aura that could only be cultivated after experiencing many life-and-death battles.

It cannot be honed just by clearing Dungeons; only on the Yuan Battlefield, by facing Abyssal Monsters or even Abyssal Demons for a long time, can one develop such an aura.

Furthermore, he is only level 34; his level is not high.

Clearly, he has been living in the military, a real military person.

For such people, level and combat power are often not proportional.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have a chance to succeed in the challenge.

When below level 40, a 5-level gap is still possible to overcome.

Everyone was also speculating whether Helios would succeed.

But when Lin Moyu saw his opponent, he instinctively realized that Helios had no chance.

The arena defender was a level 39 Sword and Shield Knight, wearing a set of equipment that no one had ever seen before.

That was the unique gold equipment of the military, also known as battlefield equipment.

Battlefield equipment comes from the military; compared to gold equipment of the same level, it might not be as good for clearing Dungeons, but it is very suitable for combat.

The attribute bonuses might not be high, but some special bonuses are very rich.

Moreover, battlefield equipment can be adjusted and customized according to the specific situation of each class.

This arena defender also came from the military, from the Shenxia Empire's Yuan Battlefield.

Helios was originally full of confidence; he believed that with his ability, challenging someone 5 levels higher was not a problem.

At the very least, he could pass one round.

But upon seeing his opponent, his confidence collapsed in an instant.

The Shenxia Empire soldier had a solemn gaze and exuded an even more powerful killing intent.

The killing intent was like a tide, completely suppressing Helios.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Helios's forehead. Before the fight had even officially started, he felt as if he had already lost.

The opponent's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and Helios finally couldn't help but make a move.

Skill: Charge!

Helios raised his shield high and rushed out like lightning.

The arena defender also raised his shield at the same time and also activated the Charge skill.

Just at the moment of contact, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from the defender's shield.

Skill: Shield Bash!

He actively interrupted his own Charge skill, and at the moment of impact, changed the Charge skill into a Shield Bash.

With a bang, Helios was instantly knocked flying.

The power of Shield Bash far exceeds Charge.

In mid-air, Helios felt dizzy.

Shield Bash has a stun effect; Helios was already controlled by the stun.

"It's over!" Lin Moyu saw this.

His level was already inferior, and he lost the initiative and was controlled.

As long as the defender wasn't a rookie, Helios wouldn't have a chance.

Sure enough, the defender rushed forward again.

Although he didn't activate the Charge skill, his speed was not slow at all.

Before Helios could land, the opponent had already arrived beneath him.

Skill: Flash Slash!

A brilliant light erupted from the knight's longsword, and a streak of light shot into the sky.

Helios groaned and was slashed away.

The defender leaped high, activated Shield Bash for the second time in mid-air, and continued to strengthen the control.

From this moment on, Helios never had a chance to land.

Just 10 seconds later, Helios, having endured a series of blows, appeared off the arena.

Helios, having recovered after receiving healing, had a look of terror on his face.

This was no longer a simple matter of a level gap.

From the beginning of the battle, he had lost all opportunities.

He couldn't even activate Ultimate Defense throughout the entire process and was directly controlled to death.

"The soldiers of the Shenxia Empire are terrifying!" A fear of the Shenxia Empire's soldiers was planted in Helios's heart.

Although the entire battle lasted less than 10 seconds, the whole process was breathtaking.

Everyone was holding their breath, stunned and breathless by the dazzling skills.

"Damn, that was amazing."

"This is our Shenxia military, the world's strongest army."

"If our Shenxia military claims to be second, who in the world dares to claim first?"

"The Eagle Country's soldiers are considered strong, but compared to our Shenxia army, tsk tsk…"

The facts were right before their eyes; the gap between the two was no longer something that just 5 levels could bridge.

Helios failed the challenge.

The second challenger took the stage.

This was a level 46 Elemental Mage.

She was beautiful and walked onto the arena with elegant steps.

She wore a set of platinum equipment, and her robe was slit to the waist, revealing long, slender, white legs.

She immediately attracted a great deal of attention.

She was randomly matched with a level 51 Elf Archer.

The Elf Archer also came from the Shenxia Empire's military, wearing a set of battlefield equipment, with a very strong aura of killing intent.

The female mage frowned; Mages have an innate disadvantage against Archers.

The battle began, and the female mage immediately cast Magic Shield on herself.

Just as the Magic Shield formed, a sharp arrow already struck the shield.

Bang! The arrow exploded, and amidst the loud noise, the Magic Shield shook violently.

Skill: Explosive Arrow!

The female mage was clearly startled; the Archer's attack speed was simply too fast.

Before the explosion flames could dissipate, there was another bang.

It exploded again in front of the Magic Shield.

It completely blocked her view, and she couldn't find her opponent at all.

Then, a rain of arrows fell.

The Magic Shield was immediately subjected to intense impact.

After holding on for a few seconds, the Magic Shield was shattered.

At the moment the Magic Shield dissipated, another arrow flew over and exploded beside the female mage.

Skill: Silence Arrow!

The female mage exclaimed, all her skills were sealed.

Defeated! The defeat was extremely thorough, clean, and crisp.

She had no power to fight back!

The Shenxia soldiers once again proved their strength, not giving their opponents any chance to counterattack.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, battle after battle took place.

Without exception, no one succeeded in the challenge.

They couldn't even pass the first round.

It was hard, too hard!

Lin Moyu had also signed up, but it wasn't his turn yet.

…

Su Sheng walked onto the arena.

After two consecutive failures yesterday, today he no longer had that arrogance from before.
