"It’s a shame we didn’t get to spectate the game . "

Regret was written all over Sakura Memories’ face; March Rain had left early and was explaining what had

happened during the battle .

Even with Lu Li and Moonlight, she had been killed and had to leave the battle early . This clearly showed

how tough their opponents were .

"You and Gaze know each other?" Lu Li couldn’t help but ask .

Gaze was a famous player and even though he tried to stay under the radar, he was just like Blood Dagger

and the others . They were players who were often analyzed by many, especially when people talked about

PVP masters .

Lu Li recalled from his past life’s memories that Moonlight never participated in competitions, even though

he had the ‘Warrior God’ title . However, no one ever thought that he had better gaming techniques than

Gaze .

"Don’t you and Gaze know each other too?" Moonlight laughed bitterly; not everything in this world was

explainable .

"We’ve fought against each other before . It ended as a draw; he’s a very tough opponent . "

Seeing that he didn’t want to dive deep into this topic, Lu Li didn’t question him any further . Everyone had

their own secrets to keep .

"Yes, Lu Li, I’ve found our weakness . " Moonlight’s expression was serious .

"Are you referring to our skills?" Lu Li asked .

"Yep, you’ve found it too . Compared to their team, our skills were too weak . Otherwise, the match

would’ve been much easier . "

Frost Nova, Soul Shriek, Whirlwind…the caliber of skills books that players from the big guilds were able to

obtain was truly beyond what any ordinary player could imagine .

Even as a mercenary group, Lu Li and the others still seemed like random players in the eyes of many .

"Is it possible to obtain a Soul Shriek skill book now?" Lu Li asked .

"I’ve contacted a few friends, but none of them have it . Currently, this skill is in high-demand; the same

goes for Frost Nova . . . "

It wasn’t only these three skills that Lu Li and the others needed; they actually lacked quite a lot of skills .

For example, Lu Li really needed Kidney Strike .

Kidney Strike was a very powerful crowd-control skill . For a Thief to become the strongest assassinator of

cloth-armored classes, this skill was definitely a requirement . However, Lu Li still hadn’t been able to find

the skill book for it, not even with the help of Shen Wansan .

At the end of the day, the advantage that reincarnation gave had its limits .

"Aiya, it’s our turn . Xin Xin, make sure to accept . " Hachi Chan jumped up; their match was about to begin .

After inviting Lu Xin, she also invited Lu Li .

Lu Li still hadn’t applied for another ranked match and after giving it some though, he accepted the invite .

They were then teleported into the stands of the match arena .

Lu Xin sat beside Lu Li; they had both been invited by Hachi Chan, so it was natural for them to be placed

beside each other .

Hachi Chan, Azure Sea Breeze and Lonsome Flower made a classic team-composition of Warrior, Mage and

Druid . On the other hand, their opponents went for the more aggressive Paladin, Warlock and Thief .

Paladins were capable of dealing damage and healing . They were a very flexible class and because they

wore plated armor, they were able to take more damage .

The Thief went into stealth mode as soon as the match started . The Warlock targeted Hachi Chan and the

Paladin also rushed forward .

"Will Hachi Chan win?" Lu Xin sat beside Lu Li and held onto her brother’s hand, her eyes glistening .

"Of course," Lu Li affirmed .

"Mate, you’re friends with Hachi Chan, right? How can you be so sure they’ll win?"

The audience seating didn’t afford any privacy and the person beside them had a pair of good ears, good

enough to hear what Lu Li was saying in the rowdy environment .

"Brother, why?" Lu Xin wasn’t so sure anymore after she heard someone else question Lu Li .

As they grew up, Lu Li often lied to her . For example, he would bring food home and tell her that he had

already eaten when he hadn’t .

"Because they’re targeting Hachi Chan . " Lu Li was certain of his prediction, but he couldn’t explain it .

His reasoning didn’t sound logical at all – was there anything wrong with trying to kill the healer first?

The Warlock’s Shadow Arrow exploded on Hachi Chan’s leather armor, followed by a -22 and the word

‘Miss’ .

Usually, a miss meant that the skill hadn’t landed . However, in Dawn, it was impossible for a skill not to

land on its target . Rather, the 22 points of damage was a clear indication that the skill had failed .

Shadow Arrow had a cast time of three seconds and was one of the most common skills used by Warlocks .

Even if the Warlock was a lower-level than Hachi Chan, the damage that it dealt should have still been at

least around 150 .

Azure Sea Breeze was known as the number one tank in the game, but he wasn’t well known among PVP

players .

As soon as the embarrassing damage digits floated into the air, the analyst gasped and said what everyone

else was thinking, "Aiya, that’s some bad luck for the Warlock . "

At the same time, the Thief had gone into Stealth and had snuck up behind Hachi Chan .

He used a Cheap Shot to stun Hachi Chan, which was followed by a smooth sequence of skills . It was clear

that he wasn’t an ordinary noob either .

However, what left him speechless was that just like the Warlock, his attacks were also a bunch of failures .

The Warlock and Thief gave it their all, completing an entire round of all their skills, but they only managed

to take around half of Hachi Chan’s health bar .

Dodge, Damage Reduction, Parry, Block – Hachi Chan had it all . The Thief and the Warlock were both

shocked . Was this really a Druid standing before them?

You didn’t even have a shield, so what’s with the block? You didn’t move your staff either, so where did the

parry come from . . .

"Aiya, help!" Hachi Chan screamed . "They’re hitting me! They’re all hitting me! Help me!"

The audience was left speechless .

You barely lost any health; what’s with all this screaming .

Hachi Chan had good equipment, but her attacks and healing were only average . Her gear mostly came

from quests and were all quite unusual .

Azure Sea Breeze and Lonesome Flower didn't stand around doing nothing either . Azure Sea Breeze faced

off against the Paladin while Lonesome Flower aimed at the Thief .

At this point, Lonesome Flower’s unleashed a barrage of spells and attacks . He was a magic damage class

and was focusing his fire on a leather-armored class . A bunch of jaw-dropping numbers floated into the air .

No one attacked him either; he was completely free to do consistent damage .

The Thief really began to feel the pressure . If this continued, he would die before he got around to killing

the Druid with his Warlock teammate .

An unknown effect on his equipment was suddenly activated . A red light radiated from the Thief and his

damage greatly increased . He had already stored five combo points and immediately aimed his ultimate

skill right at the back of Hachi Chan’s head .

As long as the weird statuses didn’t pop up this time, he had faith that this attack would end everything .

After killing the Druid, he planned to then use Gale Steps .

Then, once he ran towards the Paladin and received some healing, he would be in good fighting condition

again .

Lonesome Flower had only just finished a skill rotation, so he could only watch as the Thief went berserk

and attacked Hachi Chan .

Don’t disappoint us; heal yourself .

Unfortunately, Hachi Chan was at a loss since she couldn’t find the Thief . She had no clue that the Thief had

already made his way behind her and was prepared to surprise her .

"Even though she’s cute, she’s honestly too stupid . "

The person who was sitting next to Lu Li clearly wasn’t a supporter of Hachi Chan and had smug look

plastered all over his face .

Before he could finish his sentence, the tides of battle suddenly shifted .
