Chapter 193: The Fourth Round That No One Has Ever Passed
Archers and assassins are the two careers with the highest agility.
Now he split into three, sprinting across the arena.
Each moved very fast, almost leaving afterimages, making it hard to distinguish real from fake.
The skeleton warriors chased fiercely behind.
The archer was too agile, and they couldn't catch up for a while.
Most of the skeleton mages' skills were also avoided, only lightning skills could cause some damage.
However, with the huge level difference, the archer's platinum equipment emitted a faint light, negating most of the damage.
Moreover, Lin Moyu noticed that whenever attacks landed on them, their bodies would twist strangely.
This twisting also avoided most of the damage.
As a result, the mages could cause very little damage to him.
While running, the archer constantly attacked Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu's agility was far inferior to theirs. Knowing he couldn't dodge, he simply stood still without moving.
Relying on the Bone Armor to tank the attacks.
Hum!
Red light covered the arena.
Skill: Slow Curse!
The archer's main body and doppelgangers immediately slowed down.
The skeleton mages also seized the chance to launch an attack.
Two doppelgangers shattered simultaneously.
The archer's body twisted oddly as he endured a round of attacks.
At the same time, he raised his bow high. The bow flashed with light as a pillar of light shot skyward.
The Slow Curse was instantly broken!
Skill: Purify!
Lin Moyu was stunned. Isn't this a healer's skill?
The archer's skill came from his platinum-grade weapon.
Many platinum-grade equipment had attached skills, mostly on weapons.
The skills were varied and strange.
Unexpectedly, the skill attached to the archer's weapon was Purify.
Of course, the attached Purify skill couldn't compare to a healer's innate Purify.
Some powerful curses couldn't be removed.
But it was more than enough to remove the Slow Curse.
Lin Moyu used Slow Curse again, but the Purify effect was still active, so the Slow Curse had no effect.
The archer weaved between the skeletons without engaging them. His target was only Lin Moyu.
Skill: Explosive Arrow!
Skill: Impact Arrow!
Skill: Silence Arrow!
He unleashed skills repeatedly, constantly attacking Lin Moyu.
The Bone Armor blocked all attacks. Whether stun or silence, none affected Lin Moyu.
Some people noticed the key point, realizing how terrifyingly strong the Bone Armor was.
After taking so many attacks continuously, it was still intact.
These were attacks from a level 42 senior career holder. If it were other level 27 career holders, they would have been one-shot long ago.
"Such a powerful defense skill!"
"Can someone tell me, what's the weakness of this career?"
"From what we've seen so far, there's no weakness. It's nearly perfect!"
"But now it looks like they're in a stalemate. Neither can do anything to the other."
"Yeah, I wonder how Lin Moyu will break the deadlock!"
The archer said nothing, constantly attacking Lin Moyu while dodging attacks.
He believed he could eventually break through Lin Moyu's turtle shell.
"Should I summon more skeletons? Or..."
Lin Moyu pondered for half a second, then made a decision.
Locking onto the archer, flames flickered in his hand.
Skill: Soul Flame!
The running archer suddenly let out a sky-piercing scream.
His whole body stumbled and fell to the ground.
The skeleton warriors caught up, and the skeleton mages' attacks followed.
He struggled frantically to get up.
He used the doppelganger skill again, splitting into three, shifting targets.
His gaze towards Lin Moyu changed, becoming terrified.
Lin Moyu sighed. This was what he was worried about.
After all, this skill... was too painful.
It really hurt. Except for Xu Yan, he hadn't seen anyone able to withstand it.
The audience outside erupted!
"What happened?"
"I don't know!"
"I saw Lin Moyu seem to use a skill!"
"I saw it too. A single-target attack skill, and a lock-on type skill..."
Another corner of the iceberg was revealed.
Surprises always come unexpectedly.
Lin Moyu sighed lightly. Since he had already used it, he wouldn't hold back anymore.
He slowly raised his palm, flames burning in his palm.
Bang!
Bang!
Two consecutive sounds, the two doppelgangers exploded one after another.
Bad luck, he didn't hit the real one!
Lin Moyu aimed at the real archer again. He was immediately enveloped by a chilling feeling.
Fear arose spontaneously.
The flames flashed!
A scream pierced the sky.
He fell to the ground again, curling up.
The skeleton warriors charged up, unleashing skills simultaneously.
Plus the skeleton mages' attacks...
After one round, he had disappeared from the arena.
Below the arena, healers treated him.
His injuries healed quickly, but the memory of pain wouldn't disappear.
When he looked at Lin Moyu again, there was insoluble fear in his eyes.
That kind of gaze made people's hearts cold just seeing it.
Not just him, but his screams also affected the watching audience.
One by one, they felt chills, and combined with the surrounding skeletons, Lin Moyu seemed even more terrifying.
The third round challenge succeeded. Intermediate Mysterious Potion obtained.
He had now tied the challenge match record.
Lin Moyu unhesitatingly chose to continue challenging.
The fourth round. Since the Career Holder Tournament began, no one had ever succeeded in challenging it.
Even the challenge rules had been forgotten.
Under everyone's anticipation, a knight appeared on the arena.
Wearing military battlefield equipment.
Sword and Shield Knight, level 45.
Only 3 levels higher than the previous round.
Is this it?
Is this the difficulty of the fourth round?
How could no one have passed this!
It must be fake!
Amid everyone's confusion, a second career holder appeared on the arena.
Level 45 Battle King support.
Then level 45 archer, level 45 mage, level 45 assassin.
Three more career holders appeared in succession.
Forming a standard five-person team.
Only now did people realize why no one could succeed in the fourth round challenge.
Not only did one person have to fight a whole team, but each career holder was 18 levels higher than the challenger.
How could this be beaten?
Even a god couldn't win this, right?
No one thought Lin Moyu could win.
No matter how strong his career was, he was still only level 27, still just one person.
No buffs, no healing.
No matter how strong, he couldn't possibly contend with a team of level 45 senior career holders.
"Young man, you're very impressive."
"Being able to reach the fourth round, you should be proud!"
The knight leading the team affirmed Lin Moyu.
Though only three levels higher than the previous archer, his aura was completely different.
This knight gave Lin Moyu the feeling of a leader.
Looking at the military badge on his shoulder, the silver-white badge had nine shining stars.
Nine-star lieutenant, just one step away from colonel.
This was a true warrior who had fought on battlefields for many years.
Such people were extremely powerful.
The teammates behind him were also not weak.
The lowest was a five-star lieutenant.
They also cast appreciative looks at Lin Moyu.
Not for anything else, just for Lin Moyu's three-star lieutenant rank.
All demon-killers were their comrades.
"Thank you!"
Lin Moyu rarely spoke. Since entering the arena, he had hardly said a word.
"But today, I still want to win!"
The match began. The Battle King support started applying buffs.
Lin Moyu slowly raised his hand. In an instant, ghostly winds howled, sweeping across the entire arena!
