Chapter 198

The pride in his bones still existed, though it was much more restrained.

Level 29 Su Sheng, a legendary Professional, a Holy Light Mage.

His opponent was a level 34 Sword and Shield Knight, also from the Shenxia Empire military.

As the battle began, the arena was enveloped in a holy white light.

Skill: Holy Light!

A pervasive mental attack that continuously dealt damage to the Sword and Shield Knight.

Suddenly, a blue light shone amidst the white light.

As soon as the blue light appeared, it charged toward Su Sheng like lightning.

Skill: Ultimate Defense!

Skill: Charge!

The Sword and Shield Knight activated his defense and rushed in front of Su Sheng.

Su Sheng's expression remained unchanged; he didn't retreat even half a step.

When fighting a knight, one must never retreat.

Skill: Ring of Holy Light.

The ring exploded, carrying a forced knockback effect.

The Knight used Shield Bash at the same time.

The two skills collided with a loud bang.

The Ring of Holy Light shattered; the Knight only retreated half a step before swinging his sword down again.

Skill: Flash Slash!

Facing the Knight's attack, Su Sheng continued to cast his skill, Holy Light Shield.

Using a Magic Shield to block the Knight's attack, he then erupted with a Holy Light Blast to knock the Knight back.

The Knight only retreated a few steps before closing in again.

The two entered a stalemate, a contest of pure endurance.

If the Knight couldn't finish Su Sheng before Ultimate Defense ended, he would be the one defeated.

The same was true for Su Sheng; he didn't know how long his Holy Light Shield could hold.

He could only focus all his power on strengthening his Holy Light skills and continue attacking the Knight.

To strip away the Knight's Ultimate Defense as quickly as possible.

Chapter 191: Battlefield Skills, First Round, Victory!

When the holy white light vanished.

The Sword and Shield Knight was no longer on the field; only Su Sheng remained standing.

A look of relief was on Su Sheng's face.

His shield had just been broken; he was only a hair's breadth away from losing.

Fortunately… the Sword and Shield Knight couldn't hold on.

Just two more seconds and he would have lost.

With pride in his eyes, Su Sheng proved his strength to the world.

Fighting five levels above his own, against a powerful Professional from the military.

Su Sheng had proven himself.

He decisively gave up on continuing the challenge and left with his prize.

The next round would be a level 39 Professional; he could barely defeat a level 34, so why fight a level 39?

Su Sheng cared about his reputation and would never do something suicidal.

Before stepping off the stage, Su Sheng glanced at Lin Moyu.

A silent challenge.

Professionals generally don't admit defeat easily, and this guy was even more so.

The challenges continued one after another.

After Su Sheng, all of them failed their challenges.

Divine Eye Archer Liu Xianren also went up; he faced a level 34 Mage.

Logically, an Archer has an advantage against a Mage.

Divine Eye Archer Liu Xianren was also very confident, feeling he had a chance since he was also a legendary Professional.

But the military Mage…

Divine Eye Archer Liu Xianren lost miserably; in less than five seconds, he was blasted off the stage.

In terms of combat techniques, the military Professionals had reached a very high level.

Outside Professionals truly couldn't compare to them.

Except for Su Sheng winning one round by a narrow margin, no one else had won.

"It's no good, the soldiers of the Shenxia Empire are too strong."

"There must have been over a hundred battles, yet only one person has won a single round."

"And have you noticed? The higher the level, the more miserably they lose."

"Yeah, yeah, it shows that the higher the level of the Shenxia Empire soldiers, the stronger their combat power; the gap is only widening."

"It's really hard, harder than any previous year."

The Shenxia Empire used practical actions to tell the world how strong their Shenxia army was.

Finally, it was Lin Moyu's turn.

His appearance on stage immediately drew the attention of most people.

Since the auditions, Lin Moyu's reputation had been massive.

A class that had never appeared before, skills that no one knew.

He was like a mystery being unraveled bit by bit.

Whenever people thought they knew Lin Moyu's skills, he would always reveal something new.

Especially last night, when Lin Moyu won the singles competition championship again.

The scores for the level 20 group were basically monopolized by Lin Moyu alone.

Only then did people realize he also possessed such a powerful area-of-effect skill.

In everyone's eyes, every one of Lin Moyu's skills was powerful; there were no weak ones.

Now that he was on stage, people began to speculate whether Lin Moyu could succeed in his challenge.

"Challenging one round definitely won't be a problem."

"Exactly, even Su Sheng could successfully challenge one round, let alone Lin Moyu."

"I wonder if Lin Moyu can complete the second round challenge."

"I think that's no problem either; I want to know if he can break the record."

"Impossible, no one has successfully challenged it in hundreds of years. Even those who completed three rounds are few and far between."

"A four-round challenge against an opponent 20 levels higher—how could anyone win that?"

"Furthermore, this year's Shenxia Empire army was outrageously strong."

Lin Moyu stepped onto the arena, and soon his opponent appeared as well.

Level 32, Mage.

The opponent was wearing a battlefield set; his eyes flickered slightly when he saw Lin Moyu.

Then, he gave Lin Moyu a military salute.

It was the salute of a subordinate meeting a superior.

Lin Moyu also returned the military salute.

This action immediately caused a massive stir.

"What's going on? Could Lin Moyu also be from the military?"

"No, it's that his military rank is higher."

"Heavens, he's actually a Three-Star second lieutenant. He's only level 27, how did he do it?"

"No wonder his combat power is so high; this guy fought his way up!"

"Salutes aside, in battle, military personnel would not go easy on him."

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the battle began.

In an instant, several fireballs flew toward Lin Moyu.

In front of Lin Moyu, 10 Skeleton Warriors and 10 Skeleton Mages appeared.

The Skeleton Warriors took the initiative to meet the fireballs, swinging their greatswords to split them in mid-air.

The fireballs exploded, but the Skeleton Warriors had already charged forward.

The Skeleton Mages also released their skills.

Electricity flickered as bolts of Lei Guang fell.

The Magic Shield on the Mage constantly emitted a dazzling blue light, blocking the Skeleton Mages' attacks.

After enduring five consecutive lightning attacks, the Magic Shield was declared broken.

But the Mage reacted extremely quickly; as soon as the Magic Shield broke, he had already swiftly pulled away.

He retreated rapidly, showing none of the clumsiness of other Mage classes.

It was as if wind was beneath his feet, making him extremely agile.

As soon as the Skeleton Warriors approached, they were pushed away by his Repulsion Fire Ring.

Once the Magic Shield's cooldown ended, he immediately cast another one on himself.

Even so, he was still chased all over the place by the Skeleton Warriors.

He was too busy to do anything else, let alone attack Lin Moyu…

Instead, the Skeleton Mages' skills continuously landed on his Magic Shield, putting him under immense pressure.

Finally, the space left for him grew smaller and smaller.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded.

Suddenly, he slammed his staff heavily onto the ground.

Boom!

Flames soared into the sky.

Skill: Flame Cage!

The Skeleton Warriors were trapped in a sea of fire, as if hit by an immobilization spell, unable to escape.

The flames blazed, continuously burning the Skeleton Warriors.

Each Skeleton Warrior turned into a fire skeleton, consumed by the flames.

Lin Moyu observed this: "An attack skill with area control."

Lin Moyu had never seen this skill before.

When the Mage was retreating just now, he had left footprints on the ground one by one.

They weren't left randomly; they all had specific positions.
