Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 51: The Battle of Wind and Flower (2)
After the first round of competition, 512 winners were decided. Again, there were no upsets and all the top players passed the test successfully. However, the only undead wizards left were our four great wizard kings, each of whom had a secret spell to protect themselves. From the Tongxin Alliance, only Afeng, Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying successfully advanced to the next round. Five of them failed. The result was not very ideal.
Five minutes later, the organizing committee announced the matchup for the second round, but I still didn't have to worry too much. According to the system settings, in order to ensure the excitement of the later stages of the game, the top 50 players would not meet in this round, so there would not be too strong opponents. The result did not surprise me, and I was even a little happy - I would encounter the mortal enemy of the Undead Wizard, a white-robed cardinal Zambirotta. He could make it to the second round, so he must be quite strong. It was a pity that he was facing the more powerful me, which doomed him to be ravaged.
But Afeng didn't seem to be as lucky as me. He encountered a lot of trouble in this round. He met an opponent of equal strength and might not be able to advance smoothly. Of course, this is for the Tongxin League or the "Resistance Alliance". They might lose a place to enter the next round, affecting the overall results. For Afeng himself, it was completely the opposite - his opponent was Hua Mantian, and being able to have a fair contest with "Hua|Hua|Gong|Zi" in such a large-scale event was definitely a good opportunity that he had been looking forward to for a long time and would cheer for.
After hearing the news, I didn't bother to study Zambilotta's information, and I found Afeng the first time, "How is it, the opponent is Hua Mantian, how do you plan to deal with him?" The two people are equally powerful, and it is difficult to gain the upper hand without other means, such as "pseudo-artifacts" or something. However, these rewards are "private" and it is inconvenient for me to ask about them. I don't know if Afeng has prepared any "trump card". If he is defeated, it will definitely be a big blow to him who has been plotting revenge.
A Feng didn't show too much excitement. Before I arrived, he sat alone in a corner, deep in thought. Hearing what I said, he raised his head and patted my shoulder heavily, "Don't worry, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I will definitely leave an unforgettable memory for Playboy ."
"Are you so confident? Hua Mantian's strength is actually not weaker than yours. It's just that he has been redeveloping after his job change, and his past record is not as good as yours, so his ranking is a little behind. You can despise your opponent strategically, but you must not be careless." Knowing what Hua Mantian meant to him, I was quite nervous.
A Feng smiled slightly, but did not tell me his methods to boost my confidence. "How do you think we can defeat Hua Mantian?"
This is really an easy question. "It's simple. Just beat him in the upcoming game."
A Feng nodded first, then shook his head. "It's not enough to just defeat him. What would hit his confidence the most is that when he thought he had victory in sight, I reversed the situation and forced him to suffer the bitter fruit of failure. The huge contrast in his mood from falling from heaven to hell again would definitely be an indelible shame for a person as conceited as him."
His calm tone revealed surging hatred. I originally thought that he had been getting along well with Xue Wuxia recently, and his mood had become much brighter, so he should be able to ease the hatred between him and the "playboy" caused by his "ex-girlfriend". But it seems that this is not the case. He is still gritting his teeth and hating her to the core. He has not forgotten his feelings for his "old love" at all because of his "new love". I am really confused.
At this time, other teammates also came over one after another to cheer for Afeng. I didn't say anything more and told him to be careful and just win. Don't have too high expectations, be too eager for success, or take too many risks, otherwise Hua Mantian would be more likely to seize the opportunity and take advantage of him.
According to Afeng's tactics, he must take a defensive position in the early stage, first make the enemy proud, "cultivate" his will to win, and then launch a large-scale counterattack to defeat Hua Mantian with all his strength. This is quite risky and very easy for the enemy to take advantage of. I don't know what specific arrangements he has made, so I really can't let it go. Unfortunately, all the games in each round are carried out at the same time. If I want to watch the game in person and cheer for Afeng, I can only finish my game. Fortunately, when opponents of equal strength meet, both sides will be more cautious. In the beginning, they are usually just testing. The most intense should be in the middle and late stages. As long as I can quickly defeat the opponent, I should still have time to witness the "Jedi counterattack" planned by Afeng.
As one of the five cardinals who advanced to the second round, Zambirota's strength is quite good. His pet is a level 7 magic beast, the Light Flying Tiger. And the data shows that he can summon a four-winged light angel, but it is still a little short of the fire. The light angel he summoned is only equivalent to the strength of a level 8 lower-level magic beast. Even if he has the help of a "pseudo-artifact", it will not pose much threat to me. But what I want is to defeat him quickly in the shortest time, so I have to take it seriously.
Given his reputation, Zambilotta didn't seem to dare to underestimate me and directly summoned out the strongest four-winged angel of light. I didn't want to fight with him, so I didn't hold back as I did in the first round and summoned out Shaman and Taotao one after another. I also summoned a Horror Dragon Knight and a Horror Ground Dragon Knight, leaving the Horror Ground Dragon Knight behind for me to absorb his mental power. Shaman, Taotao and the Horror Dragon Knight attacked together. The Horror Dragon Knight entangled the Light Angel. As the data showed, he was only at the lower level of level eight. The two guys were evenly matched and the fight was difficult to resolve. However, the strength of Zambirota and the Light Flying Tiger was not enough to resist the attacks of Taotao and Shaman. Even though he used a "pseudo-artifact", the same " scripture" that the Holy Heaven had used in the "Four Continents Elite Challenge", trapped Taotao and forcibly sent Taotao back to the "Dead Soul Space". He was in a sealed state and could not be summoned again, which caused me some unexpected troubles, but it was impossible to save the situation. Just Shaman was enough to entangle him and the Light Flying Tiger. When I used the "Dead Soul Summoning" again, Zambirota, who did not have another "pseudo-artifact", was powerless to save the situation and died tragically under Shaman's "Ghost Claw Thirteen Strikes".
It only took me a dozen minutes to defeat Zambirota, which was enough to prove my strength. With the exception of a few players with artifacts and a few top players who could restrain the necromancer, I can definitely easily defeat most of my opponents with my current strength. I won't be as nervous as I was in the last conference, where I had to take risks in several rounds. As soon as the referee announced the results, I immediately rushed to the venue where Afeng was competing to watch his fierce competition with Hua Mantian.
It was still early. For the two of them who were close in strength, the battle had just begun and was still in a stalemate, far from being able to decide the winner. Hua Mantian had already used the two-winged archangel possession, but the archangel's strength did not seem to be too strong. Although he had the upper hand in the contest with Afeng, the advantage was not great. It was difficult to win for a while. And it could be seen that Afeng was also very careful in dealing with it. Although the plan was to "show weakness to the enemy", he did not hold back much, and even used the skill "Wind-breaking Strike" attached to the "Wind-breaking Gun". I don't know if Hua Mantian's strength exceeded his estimation, so there was no way to execute according to the predetermined plan.
However, facing the "enemy" he had always hated, Afeng's performance was quite calm. No matter his eyes, expression or movements, there was nothing unnatural. He was just like a master player who was trying his best to win. There was no sign of deep hatred in him, and he did not have the excitement of cursing when he drank too much. I couldn't help but admire his psychological quality.
The contest between two equally matched Knights of Light and Knights really doesn't involve too many tricks. Usually it can only depend on who consumes the least and who seizes the opportunity first. It will be a protracted battle. Afeng is very patient. He will never easily counterattack without a good opportunity. Once he strikes, it makes Hua Mantian very uncomfortable. He has to take a defensive stance and deal with it carefully. However, it is difficult to pose too much threat to Hua Mantian, making the situation slightly disadvantageous. From another perspective, it may give people the impression that Afeng's fighting skills are actually slightly inferior to Hua Mantian, lacking the ability to seize opportunities and defeat the enemy.
