Chapter 35: Real Combat, Berserker Orcs!
"The three of you, the match is about to begin, please come to the stage."
At noon, Shen Xing and his team were making their final preparations for the match in the rest room.
Upon hearing the knock on the door, all three of them simultaneously took off their glasses.
"How are your preparations going?" Qin Lang asked.
"It'll have to do."
So-so.
"..." Qin Lang was speechless for a moment, then looked at Shen Xing: "What tactics will we use later? Or should we just go head-to-head?"
Shen Xing was silent for a moment before replying, "The same as before."
Qin and Xu exchanged a glance and nodded.
Then, the three of them walked out the door together.
Zhou Zheng was already waiting outside the door.
He smiled and instructed, "Perform well later. Use whatever methods you have. I've secured some benefits for you, so don't let me down."
Hearing about "benefits" piqued their interest.
The competition venue is the No. 8 battle zone, which is located in the corner of the wall, and a lot of spectators have already gathered around it.
These people had all heard that this match was a duel between two elite teams of players from Jiangcheng, so they were all looking forward to it.
A moment later, Qin Lang pushed Shen Xing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and a girl with dark circles under her eyes wearing pink pajamas and pink bunny ear slippers onto the stage.
This strange combination immediately sparked discussion among the crowd.
"Huh? This is Jiangcheng's elite squad? They're all unfamiliar faces."
"It's surprising that there's even a disabled person among them."
"That's really strange. Isn't this game supposed to be 100% synchronized with the real physical body? He can't leave, so how does he survive in the game?"
Most of the discussion focused on Shen Xing, given his truly unusual physical condition.
About three minutes later, the opponent also came on.
Like Shen Xing and his group, they were also a combination of two men and one woman.
However, the other person looked quite young, with a youthful innocence still on their face, and was probably still a student.
But everyone has a special quality, and their words and actions are dignified.
Yes, confirmed, they must be a wealthy person.
Or perhaps they come from a well-off family and have long-term contact with high-society people, which has cultivated this kind of temperament.
There was no pre-match trash talk, nor was there any scene where people underestimated Shen Xing because he was disabled and then got slapped in the face.
Moreover, they all looked serious, showing that they took this match very seriously.
Above the battlefield, there was an LCD screen that was constantly flashing a countdown.
5 ...
4 ...
3 ...
As the countdown reached zero, a middle-aged man beside him spoke in a deep voice:
"The match has officially begun. All players, summon your units!"
The three people opposite simultaneously raised their arms, and the Mist Flower began to spin rapidly, spewing out thick mist.
As the gray fog dissipated, a peculiar figure appeared before each of the three.
On the left is a tall, slender dark elf archer with a longbow in hand and wheat-colored skin; he is an elite★.
On the right is a lancer, clad in light armor and wielding a knight's lance, an elite ★.
The most unusual one is the figure in the middle.
Holding a tower shield, he stands over two meters tall, giving off an aura of unshakeable solidity.
Armored Shield Guard, Elite ★★.
This team composition is practically perfect, balancing ranged attacks, tanking, and burst damage, making them virtually invincible in the early game.
A typical novice lord would be instantly defeated if he encountered them.
Shen Xing and the other two exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their arms, connecting their consciousness with the Flower of Mist.
"Come out*3"
"Roar!"
"Moon Arrow!"
"Xiaoying!"
As the thick fog dissipated, three familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figures appeared before us.
They are an elite ★★ orc warrior, an elite ★ halfling assassin, and an elite ★ human archer.
The three looked at each other, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces.
"Wow, they even have elite two-star units! Both of these teams are pretty strong!"
"Indeed, they are worthy of being Jiangcheng's new generation of elites. However, their combat strength is about the same, so it's hard to say who will win."
"I guess it's those three students. Two-star Ironclad Shield Guards are just too unstoppable. They're impossible to damage in the early game."
"I seem to vaguely remember this boy who summoned the Ironclad Shield Guard; his brother is the Extraordinary Lord Luo Xichen."
"I knew he was wondering where he got this rare soldier; turns out he has a superhuman older brother."
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion, speculating about the outcome of the match.
However, most people are optimistic about the team with the two-star Shield Guard.
Even Zhou Zheng, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly, and his hands, which were tucked into his trench coat, unconsciously clenched.
After all, the Ironclad Shield Guards are not like ordinary troops; they are extremely rare and cannot be recruited through troop nests.
It can only be obtained by recruiting scrolls or subduing the natives of the Misty Lands.
It is precisely because of the rarity of these special professional soldiers that they are so expensive.
A single recruitment scroll costs as much as a nest of troops of the same tier, making it unaffordable for most novice lords.
On the field.
Shen Xing and the other two all felt that after materializing the troop type into reality, a special connection state appeared in their minds.
It's as if you can control the every move of a soldier through your consciousness.
As mentioned earlier, once the units materialize in reality, they require the Lord's mental energy to maintain their existence.
Similarly, lords can also control the actions of their troops through mental connection.
This is a completely different combat style from that in the game.
"Thump! Thump thump!"
The heavy footsteps sounded, and the armored shield guard raised his tower shield, pressing down with overwhelming force!
"Same as always, let's go."
At Shen Xing's command, he quickly controlled the double-axe orc to stride forward and meet the shield guards at an even faster speed.
"Boom! Boom boom!"
Elite 2-star versus Elite 2-star, both sides' auras are constantly rising, as if two bombs are about to collide!
But just as they were about to make contact, the double-axe orc suddenly flashed and circled around to the side behind the shield guard.
However, he did not launch an attack.
Instead, it instantly unleashed unprecedented speed, charging towards the dark elf archer!
Not only that, Qin Lang's halfling assassin had somehow gotten behind the dark elf and stabbed her hard in the waist.
Xu Jiayi's archers suddenly changed direction, and arrows shot out, aiming straight for the dark elf's head!
Everyone on the field was taken aback.
They all saw through Shen Xing and the others' tactics: to focus fire on and eliminate the enemy's ranged attackers first, and then take down the other two one by one.
"Stop them!"
One of the men shouted and immediately spurred his spearman to charge forward.
"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"
A series of sounds of flesh being pierced rang out, and in the end, he blocked Xu Jiayi's arrow at the cost of his own injury.
However, Shen Xing's orc and Qin Lang's halfling attacks were about to land.
Seeing that the dark elf archer was about to be killed instantly, several powerful figures watching nearby frowned and raised their hands slightly, ready to provide support at any time.
Just then, the armored shield guard suddenly slammed his shield on the ground and roared:
"All of you, come here!"
An invisible energy wave swept out.
Both Shen Xing's orcs and Qin Lang's halflings lunged at him uncontrollably.
Holy crap, it even has a taunt skill?
The three of them were startled, but quickly came to their senses.
"You guys hold off the other two, I'll take out this shield guard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xing controlled the roar to turn around and actively pounce on the armored shield guard.
Since tactics have failed, let's just crush the opponent with sheer strength!
"Clang!"
The heavy iron axe fell with tremendous force, numbing the armored shield guard's hands and leaving him in shock.
This orc has terrifying power!
However, it is absolutely impossible to break through one's own defenses by force alone.
However, before he could adjust his defensive stance, he was met with an even more ferocious attack.
"Clang! Clang clang clang!"
He swung the two axes, leaving afterimages, and a series of dense metallic clanging sounds rang out.
With a high Agility of 60, plus the Strength and Attack Speed bonuses from [Dual Axe Mastery], Roar instantly transforms him into a dual-axe berserker.
No matter how the shield guard defended, he was completely overwhelmed and forced to retreat in defeat!
What's even more terrifying is that the roar is extremely agile, switching positions while slashing, spinning around the opponent like a top.
In the blink of an eye, the shield guard was covered in wounds, and even his shield was cracked.
This is a purely violent fighting style, directly using brute force to break down the opponent's defense.
The spectators were stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen someone go head-to-head with a shield guard.
The spearmen in the distance wanted to rush over to provide support, but they were entangled by Qin Lang's halfling form.
Xu Jiayi controlled the archer, constantly attacking the opponent's dark elf archer. Both sides moved nimbly and strategically on the field, engaging in 1v1 shooting duels.
Just then, the shield guard staggered and lost his balance from the continuous attacks of the roar.
"roar!!!"
Shen Xing immediately controlled the roar to raise the double axes, and his thick arms expanded again, his muscles seemingly turning into blocks of iron.
With the force to shatter gold and split rocks, it cleaved down fiercely!
—A heavy blow.
With a muffled clang, the shield guard's thick iron shield was sent flying.
The double axes continued to slash, fiercely attacking the enemy.
If this strike lands, the battle will essentially be over.
And just then...
A young man across from them suddenly raised his right hand, his two fingers together, and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.
The next moment, a nearly transparent dagger shot out from his fingertip!
However, the small sword was not used to attack Dahu, but instead it was aimed at Shen Xing behind him.
That wasn't all. As the light and shadow behind them distorted, a figure dressed in black leather, whose aura was so indistinct that it was almost impossible to detect, quietly emerged.
The dagger flashed with a cold light, heading straight for Shen Xing in the wheelchair!
Clearly, they shared the same thoughts as Shen Xing and the others.
Concentrate your firepower to take out one of the opponents, and then deal with the others.
However, Shen Xing and his group were targeting the enemy's troop types, while they were targeting the lords who controlled those troop types.
The onlookers were immediately shocked, none of them expecting the other side to be so insidious.
There was also a stalker hiding on the battlefield, who only suddenly launched an attack at this moment.
Ordinary lords would have absolutely no chance to resist such a sudden attack.
Even Zhou Zheng and the middle-aged man next to him frowned and stared intently at the arena.
If this attack hits, Shen Xing will definitely suffer a severe injury, which will cause him to lose his fighting ability and thus lose the entire match.
But they didn't act immediately, because it was also within the rules.
Once you enter the arena, you can attack all enemies, including the opposing lord.
"Steal my brother?"
In a flash, Qin Lang suddenly threw a punch, heading straight for the small sword that was attacking him!
His fist gradually became covered with a metallic sheen, and its size expanded several times over, as if it had transformed into a giant iron fist.
Iron Fist, Steel!
"Clang!"
A metallic clanging sound rang out.
Qin Lang staggered back a few steps, also flicking the small sword away.
And in the rear.
The assassin had already rapidly approached Shen Xing, his twin daggers flashing coldly.
Faced with this fatal blow, Shen Xing's expression did not change, but he quickly raised his right hand.
A giant spiritual hand appeared out of thin air and then slammed down!
—The Hand of the Void!
"Bang!"
The assassin was struck on the head and was momentarily stunned.
Xu Jiayi, standing beside her, immediately seized the opportunity, raising her right foot, clad in bunny slippers, high into the air and twisting her waist—
With a loud "thud," the attacker was kicked several meters away.
—Spinning kick!
The three played together in several competitive games in their early years, spending thousands of hours side by side.
Although this is in real life, they are showing amazing chemistry.
The opponent looked annoyed as his attack failed.
But they were not discouraged. Instead, they quickly adjusted their formation and prepared to launch a second offensive.
After all, they summoned four types of troops, making a total of seven including the lord.
7 against 6, the advantage is on my side!
Just then, they suddenly felt the sound of wind above them, and a scorching heat.
I instinctively looked up and was immediately struck by a shocking sight.
A fireball, more than half a meter in diameter and burning with raging hellfire, appeared out of nowhere.
The scorching heat even distorted the surrounding air, and waves of destructive energy swept in like a tide.
The next second, the fireball, trailing a ghostly green tail, crashed down.
"We surrender!"
The captain of the opposing team practically roared those words.
But the fireball had already landed; it couldn't just stop there.
With Shen Xing's current mental strength, he cannot control this level of skill at will.
Just then, the middle-aged man next to Zhou Zheng moved.
"suck--"
He took a deep breath, as if all the air in the entire building had been sucked out instantly.
The raging fireball of hellfire paused in mid-air, then was forcibly pulled away by an invisible force and swallowed whole.
The entire room fell silent.
It wasn't until the staff outside the arena announced the end of the match and that Shen Xing's team had won that everyone realized what had happened.
A heated discussion immediately broke out on the field.
"Hiss... They actually won, and with an overwhelming advantage!"
"Who is that young man in the wheelchair? How did he manage to master such powerful skills so early on?"
"And his two-star orc is simply overpowered. Not only is his attack speed incredible, but his strength is also terrifying. Even a two-star shield guard can't stop him."
"The other two team members are also quite strong; they reacted quickly and remained calm under pressure."
"This year's rookies have produced some monsters!"
