Chapter 333: First Battle Broken Halberd
The opening ceremony started. Singing and dancing on stage were Chinaâs top stars. The last to take the stage was a long haired, oval faced, absolute goddess. Even Ye Cang knew this person. One of Chinaâs most famous star â Zuo Yiyi, two times film queen, three times best leading actress, three times best female singer. Even Ye Cang had watched her drama âGreat Defence of the Peasantsâ.
âLast timeâs host was sister Mai Li. I know everyone is already used to Sister Mai Li, but sheâs on her honeymoon, so todayâs host will be me. Please forgive me if I do anything wrong~â Zuo Yiyi smiled.
Beside her was the specialist commenter, known amongst the community as Brother Zhao, Zhao Jingping. Having a serious expression while wearing pajamas and a nightcap was his trademark. âThis yearâs commenter is still me. Last time, Flame Dragon Union made an unexpected mistake. VastSea was just too formidable. Because of that, I couldnât show my face to Brother Zhong for half a year. This year, I still predict that Flame Dragon Union will seize the crown!â
âOh, watch your words. Iâll remember that. If Flame Dragon Union canât win the championship, there will be a punishment game this year!â The so called Brother Zhong, an outspoken middle-aged man, grinned. He wore a daoist robe, but his hair was a flamboyant gold.
âGoddess Yiyi, which team are you looking forwards to this year? Everyone knows that you are also a gaming enthusiast, otherwise you wouldnât have lost that 1 billion federal dollarsâŠâ Brother Zhaoâs words made Zuo Yiyi embarrassed. âMy gambling has been exposed. This year, Iâll still bet on Flame Dragon Union. Good or bad, Iâm still a hard-core Flame Dragon Union fanâŠâ
âThorns and Roses vs Broken Halberd! 1:2 Odds! Place your bets!â Brother Zhong shouted unexpectedly.
âThorns and Roses, 30 million!â Zuo Yiyiâs eyebrows jumped, but she still looked like a pretty heroine. Seeing the commenters on both side giving her a look, Zhao Yiyi coughed, embarrassed. âAnyways, the nth A rank professional league preliminaries, officially begins!!!â
âItâs starting. Our first opponent is Broken Halberd. After that is one of Violent Sand, Sad Wind, or Thousand Autumn. Everyone give me your all.â ThornyRose clapped her hands.
âDonât look down on Broken Halberd. This year, itâs said that Broken Halberd obtained a very outstanding rookieâŠâ The gossip expert ElegantFragrance said.
âEven more reason to destroy their confidenceâŠâ FrozenBlood smiled.
Ye Cang silently looked at the surrounding scene. So this is what a professional league is like. It really was spectacular.
âEvery divisionâs first round has been decided. Thorns vs Halberd, letâs look at this fight first. Both sides have new members this year, but Thorns has the biggest change. We have this seasonâs newcomers with their brilliant performance in Really New Village, the Three Brothers⊠Although the three brothers are amusing, but here against the clubs, we still have to see their true strength. Just how good is ThornyRoseâs judgement? Broken Halberdâs rookie this year is the third place in the rookie competition, so is experienced. Comparing the two teams, besides the unknown three brothers, Thorns and Roses has Miss Rose â ThornyRose, Night Empress â FrozenBlood, and The Hundred Flower Archer â ElegantFragrance; all three are superstars with S rank characters. Just the three of them are enough to bring the team to the top 8, although thatâs only if they donât meet a powerful teamâŠâ Brother Zhao said, rubbing his nightcap.
ThornyRose clenched her teeth. This was Thorns and Roseâs weakness. Although they can enter the top 8, but that was only if they didnât meet any powerful teams. The moment they had met Slaughterhouse, they were utterly defeated. Thatâs when she realised the difference between ideal and reality.
âDonât look down on Thorns and Roses. ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and ElegantFragrance are all top athletes; only the rest of the club is truly too weak, especially after the last presidentâs mess. However, sooner or later, these three flowers will blossomâŠâ Brother Zhong smiled.
âIndeed, of the female players, ThornyRose and FrozenBlood are known as the golden duo, never leaving each otherâs side, with love more solid than gold, the perfect example of lesbiansâŠâ Zuo Yiyi said with a light smile.
âHey, Goddess Yiyi, what century is your information from? ThornyRose reportedly has a fiance now, her partner is Brother Hero of the three brothers. She has completely abandoned FrozenBloodâŠâ Brother Zhong helplessly corrected.
âWhat!? Something so big happened while I was busy the last two months!? But they were the official pairing! Iâm even a fan of the lesbian pair! Too disappointing, Iâm now an anti-fanâŠâ Zuo Yiyi cried out.
On the field, ThornyRose was speechless.
What do you mean the perfect example of lesbians! Iâm not a damn lesbian! Who spread this rumor! You better not let me find you!!
ElegantFragrance sneezed.
Is someone being jealous of my grace?
ThornyRose looked at the Broken Halberdâs leader â HalberdInSand, a very capable person. He had taken a B rank team and brought it up to A rank. Even the third place rookie was willing to join. Her eyes wandered towards that rookie, sorceress â CapableLiu. Clearly Misty Rain and the Freedom Alliance both would have invited her, but she still persisted on joining such a second-rate team. It truly made no sense. Was she messing around with her professional career?
âWho would have thought weâd meet an elite team in the first round⊠Please go easyâŠâ The bald HarberdInSand embraced CapableLiu and said with a grin.
âSo they had that sort of relationshipâŠâ ThornyRose was stunned. She then said quietly, âDo your bestâŠâ
The first round was an elimination tournament. ThornyRose considered letting FrozenBlood or SpyingBlade go up first as a show of strength, but before she could give the order, Zhang ZhengXiong began walking towards the stage. âMy turn to be in the spotlightâŠâ
ThornyRose faintly laughed, not opposing it. Shaking Bear was also a good choice. In an open arena, not even FrozenBlood was his match. Saying he had Heavenly King level talent was in no way an exaggeration.
âBrother LilâXiong, Brother LilâXiong! If Brother LilâWhite is not going, that let Lele go first! Let me~!â Lin Leâs words made Zhang ZhengXiong sigh helplessly. âReally, I canât say no to you. You go then. Next one will be me.â
âMm!!â Lin Le ran up to the stage.
âHey!!â ThornyRose wanted to stop him but couldnât make it in time. To let Lele fight a duel!? Neither the bomber nor the Giant Blade Warrior were suited for dueling, but she saw that the system had already approved it. She could only helplessly smile.
Well the second round will be Shaking Bear, then Iâll take the third.
Lin Le chose the Giant Blade Warrior. Wearing thick overweight armor, and with his enormous heavy blade, he huffed intimidatingly.
âHaha, Thorns and Roses is done. Really New Villageâs Three Brothers might have fortuitous luck in this seasonâs game, but luck wonât be enough in a club competition! They really think they can mess around just because they have some fame? They chose the Giant Blade Warrior!? The eternal bench warmer? The bench warmer that no one will pick in 10,000 years. What Mad Devil Le, heâs just a crazy dumb*ss!!â
âX you! You think Brother Le is someone you can insult!? Brother Le must have chose this character to go up as the vanguard for a reason. Even without a reason, our Really New Villageâs Three Brotherâs Support Group have his back! Heâs not crazy, you damn brat! Just go accompany those so called popular characters and go f**k yourself!! Brothers, give him the middle finger!â
âHaha, Giant Blade Warrior, the federation actually hasnât deleted his data yet⊠What do you think regarding Thorns and Rosesâs choice of vanguard Brother Zhong?â Brother Zhao couldnât help but laugh.
âTruth be told, I also donât understand. The Giant Blade Warrior still has some uses in a team competition, but in a single elimination tournament, it would only be a burden unless he can really kill someone and gain the on-kill buff. Speed? Itâs speed is no good. Only itâs super high damage and armor penetration could be said to be peerless. It only has one movement skill, and itâs not even a teleport. However, the data we have on this character isnât muchâŠâ Brother Zhong raised his brows, feeling a bit doubtful.
âIâm also surprised, itâs actually the Giant Blade Warrior⊠Iâve only ever heard about it, Iâve never seen someone play this characterâŠâ Zuo Yiyi said, somewhat disconcerted.
âMost people think the same as you. Probably around 100%.â Brother Zhao couldnât help making a joke. The Giant Blade Warrior had only ever made one appearance, and hadnât received very favorable criticism. No one even bothered to research its weaknesses. Out of all the S rank characters, itâs the only one who was in danger of being deleted.
âThe other side has chosen a speedy assassin â BitterBuckwheatNoodles. The outcome of the battle is obvious.â Brother Zhao sighed.
Lin Le looked at the speedy and exceptionally keen assassin. He didnât move from his spot and simply dragged his giant sword behind him. The assassin charged with dazzling speed. Lin Le was as if he wasnât even paying attention.
âNot bad, he didnât choose a head-on collision. Against a speed type like his enemy, this sort of heavy weapon character are only seeking death by attacking first. When all is said and done, there is only one Angelite.â Brother Zhao gave some mixed praise.
âHere it is!â Zuo Yiyi watched the assassinâs surprise attack. Lin Le fiercely swung his giant blade.
âItâs no use, it will definitely be dodged. Next will be a melee.â Brother Zhao was not optimistic.
The moment Lin Le swung his sword, he let it go. The weapon shot past BitterBuckwheatNoodles head as he dodged. BitterBuckwheatNoodles sneered and charged into melee. Lin Le seized this opportunity to grab BitterBuckwheatNoodlesâs head with his right hand. His sword had long since flown off the stage, so instead, he smashed him onto the ground, grabbed a dagger from his back, and while the assassin was pressed down, stabbed him to death in 3 stabs.
âPlayer HappyAndCheerful has slain player BitterBuckwheatNoodles.â
Everyone froze. They all knew that the Giant Blade Warrior was a cumbersome heavy weapons type character, but they all forgot that he had an inconspicuous dagger on his back.
âIt seems like one should still not speak too rashlyâŠâ Brother Zhong looked at Brother Zhao and mocked.
âThe Giant Blade Warrior has actually slain a speed type melee assassin. This makes no sense! That assassin hasnât even used his ultimate!â Brother Zhao slapped the table and roared, unable to believe it.
âHe lost because he was careless. He believed that he could steadily poke the opponent to death, but was unexpectedly forcefully grabbed, then before he could even activate his ultimate, he was killed. The most ridiculous thing was that he was killed by the Giant Blade Warrior wielding a dagger.â Zuo Yiyi said, she was also very surprised. She had completely disregarded that dagger that seemed like a decoration. Speed type characters all had a flaw, especially assassins, and that was their health. Looks like everyone has underestimated the Giant Blade Warrior.
