Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 49: Unpredictable Prospects (2)
Compared with a year ago, these changes have greatly improved the strength of all professional players, especially those top players who rely on mercenary groups. With the strength of the entire group, they can at least gather one or two sets of holy equipment, and can "focus on cultivating" one or two representative figures who "support the facade". Individual competitions will certainly encounter more opponents with different characteristics, and each game needs to be carefully studied and treated, and the most reasonable tactics need to be formulated, which increases the difficulty of winning streaks. In group battles with more participants, the subdivision of professions makes the choice of tactics more diverse. For opponents with different strengths and professional compositions, it is impossible to have a fixed combination of active attack or defensive counterattack. Different professional configurations can only be adopted according to actual needs to send out a more suitable lineup. Therefore, whether it is an individual competition or a group battle, what you have to face may be an unprecedented fierce battle, and it is absolutely impossible to win easily. There is no luck.
In this way, there are still 30 players registered, and 20 players can participate in each game. However, the more diverse professional combinations make it much more difficult to cooperate, and it takes a certain amount of time to practice various lineups. It is said that some weaker or more ambitious mercenary groups start team training ten days or even half a month in advance to prepare for the "World Heroes Conference". The purpose is to strive for a good ranking. Xue Wuxia and Afeng also started training after helping me complete the challenge of the big devil. Only because I have the special ability of "blood bat transformation", I don't have to rely too much on the protection of my companions as before. In comparison, it is even easier to save my life. My playing style is also more special, different from other professions, so I was specially approved to join the team a few days later. I didn't meet up with other participating teammates until there were only two days left before the game to practice basic cooperation.
The registration period for this "World Heroes Conference" ends on July 29th. On July 30th, "Tian Media" released the latest issue of "World Celebrity Directory", which not only specifically arranged the seats of the thousand top players, but also announced their latest main equipment list and pet situation. These thousand top players have all signed up for the individual competition and are definitely the indispensable main members of the team battle. Therefore, not only can the spectators understand the situation more clearly and further stimulate their interest, but also for the participating players, it has great reference value, which can accurately infer the strength of the opponent and facilitate the formulation of various suitable tactics. While people are on the list and "become famous in the world", they also make others deepen their understanding of themselves, which may lead to more variables in the game. In addition, the public opinion survey conducted based on the previous issue of "World Celebrity Directory" also lists the chances of each player on the list winning the championship and winning the "Top Ten". At the same time, the organizing committee issued an "official lottery" to guess the "World's No. 1 Master" and the "Top Ten", which increased the attraction to ordinary players.
As the holders of the artifacts "Holy Cross" and "Poison|Dragon Spear", the first and second masters of the world in the last session, and the representatives of the two camps of light and darkness, Supreme Honor and Dragon Walk the World are still considered by "Tian Media" and many players to be the strong contenders for the individual championship of this "World Hero Conference". However, unlike in the past , the one with the highest voice for the championship is not the two of them, but the dwarf warrior from the northern continent and the holder of the artifact "Thor's Hammer", the Fearless Warrior. As the main artifact of the warrior profession dropped by killing the holy beast, "Thor's Hammer" has more powerful power than "Holy Cross" and "Poison|Dragon Spear". It can attack from a distance and is suitable for close combat. In terms of attack power, there is no other existing nine artifacts that can surpass it. At the same time, the Fearless Warrior has another advantage - his seventh-level magic pet Death Bull actually has the rare evolutionary attribute like my Taotao. It has now evolved into an eighth-level magic pet Death Stone Barbarian. Although the time is still short and the growth is not enough, it should have enough strength to suppress the seventh-level magic dragon. As for other equipment, as a lightly-armored warrior who does not equip a shield and focuses on attacking, the Fearless Warrior chooses the "Purple Mirror Armor" as a high-level holy weapon. Its melee physical defense ability is not as good as other high-level holy weapon-level warrior armor, but it can reduce 50% of the damage of long-range physical attacks and 25% of magic damage. It has better defense ability against long-range attacks. With the unique anti-magic physique of the dwarf race, it makes up for their weakness of not moving fast enough and being easily suppressed by long-range shooters and magicians. The helmet is a mid-level holy weapon, and the boots and gloves are low-level holy weapons. Compared with other top players, they are not inferior. In addition, he was the "third best player in the world" in the previous session, and his personal strength is also extremely strong. If he really beats Supreme Honor and Dragon Travels the World in this competition and wins the championship in one fell swoop, it will definitely not be surprising.
The light knight and the magic knight were overshadowed by the dwarf warrior, and with the rise of many neutral professional players, this "World Heroes Conference" is obviously no longer a "two-strong competition" between the light and dark professions. Not only is the throne of "the world's best master" likely to fall to someone else, but there are also many more competitors for the "top ten". In addition to the highest honor of artifacts, Dragon Walks the World, I, Holy Heaven and Olympia, only Real Madrid and Desert Eagle are considered to have the strength to impact the "top ten" in the light and dark professions. Due to the disadvantages in equipment and props, the development of the two largest hidden professions has been restricted, and no "rising stars" have emerged. Most of the strong contenders are neutral or even normal professional players, among which there are many "emerging" new faces who have become top masters because of their advantages in pets or equipment, adding more variables to the upcoming competition.
As the only owner of two artifacts in Tianxia so far, and the "Eighth Master of Tianxia" in the last session, I am considered a strong candidate for the "Top Ten", but I am not optimistic about whether I can win the individual competition and win the honor of "No. 1 Master of Tianxia". On the one hand, according to tradition and the previously formed cognition, the individual competition is not a stage for necromancers to perform. The reason why I was able to win the last conference was mostly because of good luck and not encountering too many strong opponents. Although I have won the highest honor in the single duel in the seventh-level professional promotion battle, because we have agreed not to make the results public, the outside world does not know. At the same time, it was also because the equipment I had on me could be described as "shabby" compared to the other people in the "Celebrity List", and it did not seem to have the strength to surpass the others - except for the two artifacts, the "Dark Demon Robe" was an "antique" won in the early lottery, and it was obviously limited in effect. The "Phoenix Feather Cloak" could only play a greater role when fighting against the Fire Mage. The rest of the equipment such as leather boots and necklaces were not presentable. I was recognized as the most "downtrodden" one among the one thousand top players on the list. If I hadn't gotten a high-level holy artifact "Dragon Bone Holy Crown" from the big devil to make a transition and hold up the scene, I would have only low-level holy artifacts besides the artifacts. I would probably have the biggest gap among all the participating players.
As the second best person "focused on training" by the Tongxin Alliance besides me, Afeng's equipment has also undergone considerable changes in this year. His weapon has been changed from the high-level heavenly weapon "Backhand Spear" to a mid-level holy weapon "Wind-breaking Spear". His mount is a level 7 speed dragon, which should be more suitable for being a heavy knight. However, in order to equip himself with the high-level holy weapon "Silver Armor" obtained in the battle against the wind-type holy beast "Holy Spirit of Wind", Afeng can only choose to become a light knight. He wears the lower-level holy weapon "Holy Spirit Gloves" on both hands, and his helmet and knight boots are also lower-level holy weapons . Combining his past achievements, he is ranked 117th in the "World Celebrity List". In today's "heroes emerging in large numbers", he has basically maintained the ranking of the previous individual competition, which is quite difficult. However, his "arch enemy" Hua Mantian should not be underestimated either. As a "rising star" among the players who have been trained by the Church of Light, he has received special care in all aspects and has two high-level holy artifacts - the weapon is the "Holy Light Spear", the armor is the "Holy Sun Armor", the knight boots are mid-level holy artifacts, and the helmet and gloves are low-level holy artifacts. His equipment is better than that of Afeng, and he is one of the few among the Knights of Light. Moreover, he also has a level 7 mount, the Speed Dragon, which has been promoted to the level 7 profession, and has mastered the "Angel Possession" skill. He has an innate advantage in basic attribute values, but the promotion time is still short, the Speed Dragon's growth is not enough, and it may not be able to summon a strong angel. Therefore, he ranks slightly behind Afeng, ranking 173rd. However, the difference is only a few dozen, and the difference in strength is actually very limited. If he really fights with Afeng, I am afraid no one can know who will win in advance.
