Chapter 303 Actually, the Xin Xin Mercenary Guild wasn’t the sole cause of their suffering .
If it weren’t for the Peacetime Dynasty’s repeated losses, their points wouldn’t have been low enough to warrant their elimination . Drizzle Court, Gale Legion, Azure Guard and Glory Capital were all involved in their elimination . They should probably take their complaints to the Brotherhood Guild instead . There was actually one important reason as to why the Peacetime Dynasty had been eliminated so early . They had two core members of their team – Song of Sorrow and Hot Twitch . These players were also their top players . However, Hot Twitch (the Hunter) was stolen away by the Brotherhood Guild for 2 . 6 million dollars . As such, they had no choice but to substitute in a different hunter for Hot Twitch . The new player wasn’t as strong as their star player, and the team’s synergy was destroyed . What happened to the Peacetime Dynasty was upsetting, but had no bearing on the following matches . The next match involved the Xin Xin Mercenary Group against Purple Lunar Paradise . Purple Lunar Paradise was ranked 12 th , with their star players Dark Destroyer (Warrior) and Lone Smoker Long (Warlock) . Their Druid, Mini Meow, was also quite famous because she was cute and ranked among the top ten on the beauty rankings . Dark Destroyer was a long Warrior veteran and had been famous for nearly a decade . Lone Smoker Long, on the other hand, was on par with Hornet’s Nest and was in contention for the title of ‘number one Warlock player’ . It was Purple Lunar Paradise’s Warrior, Warlock and Druid composition against the Xin Xin Mercenary Group’s Warrior, Thief and Priest . Purple Lunar Paradise had unexpectedly decided to send out Lone Smoker Long .
This wasn’t what the audience wanted to see and many of them began to boo . Lu Li stood among the stands and bitterly shook his head . It seemed as though they had worked out Moonlight and Lu Li’s sending-pattern and were taking advantage of it . Even so, he restrained his to change players . Although the Magic Professions had some advantages over Warriors, Lu Li still had full confidence in Moonlight . Moonlight was incredibly skilled with his Charge, had many damage reduction skills and had strong skills like Whirlwind . It wouldn’t be easy to defeat him . Additionally, it wasn’t as though Moonlight had never beaten Magic professions before; he had actually done it on more than one occasion . But having said that, Lu Li’s heart sank when he saw the scene . Lone Smoker Long must have had many bonus Agility points and his shoes must have been exquisite . He was surprisingly much faster than the Berserker . He also had two escaping skills that were actually Special Effects . One of them appeared to make him slip forwards . It looked amusing but was actually quite effective . The second created a shadow four yards in front of him, which he could then teleport to . These weren’t Warlock Skills, so they must have been Special Effects from equipment . Lone Smoker Long obviously spent a lot of time in refining his equipment set . However, because he had prioritized mobility, his attack and defense attributes were quite average . His damage was irritatingly pitiful . Moonlight was hit by him and only lost a few dozen HP . Even the Warlock’s damage over time skill only dealt a little bit of damage on each tick .
He was using his speed to engage in guerilla warfare, repeatedly attacking his slow opponent to slowly wear him down . Lu Li shook his head bitterly . He could only praise Lone Smoker Long for playing this kind of alternative Warlock . This match turned out to be the longest individual match of the Shadow Cup Tournament, lasting for 47 minutes . In his previous individual matches, Lu Li’s opponents could only last for 4 or 5 minutes . In fact, the victor
was mostly determined in one minute . Moonlight eventually lost the match by a narrow margin . Lone Smoker Long was almost out of HP as well . "Sorry, I lost . " Moonlight had a sad expression on his face . All experts had a sense of pride and he really didn’t want to lose this match . "It’s just one match; don’t worry about it . We’ll get it back on the next round . " In the group round, Lu Li and Moonlight didn’t hesitate . They rushed at Lone Smoker Long the moment they saw him . This happened so quickly that Purple Lunar Paradise’s Warrior Dark Destroyer and Druid Mini Meow were unable to react . Lone Smoker Long’s expression turned dark – did they really hate him that much? He had to run away; he had no other choice . Fortunately, he was very mobile and was almost able to shake off his pursuers . However, there was no way that he could outrun Lu Li . Lu Li cast Sudden Thrust, then applied a Slow poison with a few slashes of his dagger . After this, Lu Li stepped back and let Moonlight deal with him . Lu Li had to go back to save March Rain . While he and Moonlight were chasing down Lone Smoker Long, Mini Meow had cast Creeping Vines on March Rain and binded her . She then worked with Dark Destroyer to try and quickly kill her . Lu Li activated his cloak’s effect and appeared behind the Warrior, then stunned him with Cheap Shot . He then aggressively attacked, rapidly bringing down the Warrior’s HP . However, with Mini Meow healing him, Lu Li was unable finish him of on his own . March Rain took this opportunity to return her HP to full . Now that Lu Li had achieved his goal, he turned around and frantically attacked Lone Smoker Long . The player, who was also considered one of the most handsome men, could only helplessly run away . His HP was dropping too quickly even for his Healer to keep up . Who allowed him to run such a non-meta build? The rest of the group round wasn’t particularly eventful . Lu Li used his speed to restrain Lone Smoker Long and used Gale Steps to avoid Dark Destroyer’s Whirlwind . Moonlight then cast Whirlwind in response to this and quickly killed Lone Smoker Long with Lu Li . After Lone Smoker Long died, Lu Li turned and mercilessly knocked Mini Meow out of the match . The third match pitted the Xin Xin Mercenary Group against the Great Qin Empire . They were a very united guild, but they had been unable to cultivate any star players . As such, the results could easily be imagined . At this point, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had already qualified for the top 16 . Their fourth match was against the 18 th -ranked East Sea Fleet . Despite the fact that Lu Li’s team had already qualified, they still mercilessly knocked their opponents out from their precarious position . On the current leaderboard, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group placed fourth with 47 points . Glory Capital, Blood Red War Flag and Drizzle Court placed before them with the full 48 points . Drizzle Court had been quite lucky . They didn’t face any particularly strong opponents and they had Water Fairy to carry the individual rounds . Their Mage, Deadly Green Orange, was also an expert . He had managed to defeat Song of Sorrow . Behind them were the Gangnam Royals at 46 points, Wings of Dawn at 46 points and Peerless City at 45 points . The remaining final-16 teams were Seventh Heaven, Azure Guard, Gale Legion, Stellar Union, Majin Temple, Purple Lunar Paradise, Gods of Dusk and Brotherhood . There were six Evil Faction teams and ten Light Faction teams . The proportion was quite similar to what it had been previously . Although the Gods of Dusk weren’t ranked very highly, they had managed to hold their own with their unnaturally strong player, Wood Fearing . There were still many people lamenting about Peacetime Dynasty’s elimination as they were predicted to make it into the top 10 of the tournament . Blood Red War Flag had three teams in the top 100, but unfortunately, only one had survived . Glory Capital had masters like Sorrowless and Blood Dagger on their team, so their journey had been smooth sailing . The Xin Xin Mercenary Group was the dark horse of these final 16 teams . They had subverted the expectations of the players about who would be in the top 10 . As Lu Li, Moonlight and March Rain became more well-known, so did the other members of the Mercenary Group .
