The Great Thief - Chapter 315

Chapter 315
As Lu Li expected, Sorrowless ultimately won the individual round .


However, Hornet’s Nest had proven to be quite a strong opponent and the round had taken over 10
minutes . Sorrowless’ tactic also barely won him the match, as he was only left with 30% HP after
Hornet’s Nest had fallen .
"I feel like Sorrowless’ skill has slipped a little . What do you think?" one of the commentators asked the
other .
"I had the opportunity to commentate one of Sorrowless’ games four years ago . Compared to then, he
had definitely lost some of his edge . However, that is to be expected – Sorrowless hasn’t participated in
a competition for three years," the other commentator explained .
"Do you think he will ever be able to return to his original form? It’s been three years and he’s only
getting older . " The commentator was boldly making wild conjectures about this player .
"We can’t rule out any possibilities, but he could just be feigning weakness," his partner helplessly
replied .
Lu Li, who was among the audience, shook his head . The possibility of him feigning weakness was just
too unlikely . When fighting Hornet’s Nest like that, even Lu Li would have had to give it his all unless he
wanted to be hopelessly defeated .
In fact, everyone seemed to have ignored one crucial detail . Sorrowless had only been playing Dawn for
a very short time .
It had barely been a week since Lu Li had killed him .
Others had at least a month of experience with this game, but he only had a week . Even though he had
the level and equipment advantage, it still would have been very difficult to defeat a great expert like
Hornet’s Nest .
His famous reputation truly did live up to the name!


The group round had now begun .
One side was composed of a Thief, Mage and Priest, while the other was composed of a Mage, Warlock
and Shaman .
These were very classic compositions . One was a classic all-rounder and the other was a classic Magic-
burst composition .
The fight was really exciting . Empty had all his mana burnt within four minutes of its commencement, so
he placed down a mana regeneration totem . However, it was quickly destroyed by Blood Dagger,
allowing almost none of his mana to be regenerated .
Lu Li squinted his eyes to see if Blood Dagger was using the same effect as his cloak, but it appeared to
be some kind of fake Shadow Step .
Without mana and anything to regenerate it, the tide of the match had been turned . Within two
minutes, Empty was knocked out which also signaled Seventh Heaven’s elimination from the
quarterfinals .
Now, all of the semifinal teams had been determined .
Peerless City, Drizzle Court, Xin Xin Mercenary Group and Glory Capital were the four groups to become
the Shadow Cup’s semifinalists .
The next matches would be first be randomly assigned . The two winning teams would then go on to
compete for first and second place while the two losing teams would compete for third place .
Thursday – the semifinals .
Lu Li had spent all of his free time farming and training . Before the semifinals began, he had reached
level 27 . March Rain had also managed to level up – Lonesome Flower had coordinated with other
players and brought his sister farming whenever he could in the last two days .


Moonlight didn’t manage to get much EXP, so he was still level 25 .
There were rumors that Blood Dagger had also made it to level 25 . Now, Glory Capital had two level 25
players, both of which were the main players .
Drizzle Court’s Mage, Deadly Green Orange, was also level 25 . Lu Li was certain of that .
The landladies had secretly sold out their guild before they all logged on . Because of her relationship to
Lu Xin, Dou Dou was more inclined towards Lu Li than her guild .
The situation with Peerless City was unclear . There were no guild members in their club, so they did a

good job of keeping their secrets .
Water Fairy sent a message to Lu Li when he logged on, asking what to do if they bumped into each
other in the semifinals .
Lu Li unhesitatingly told her to fight with everything she had .
At this point, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group’s glory wasn’t a matter for him to decide . Everyone was now
fervently watching the competition and all who had made it this far had gained considerable fame .
Everyone hoped that Lu Li and his team would get as far as possible, preferably winning the finals and
becoming Dawn’s first champions .
No one would rather not be a champion .
The competition had been running for 200 years and countless people had trained through blood, sweat
and tears for a chance at victory .
In a game as universal as Dawn, the championship title was even more significant .
However, on the other hand, Lu Li could have easily rigged the match . If they ran into the Drizzle Court,
he could easily pretend to lose if they were paid some money .
Of course, this was just a hypothetical .
Lu Li’s reply was simple . They would leave it up to their skills .
Water Fairy simply couldn’t figure out how Lu Li could avoid giving her a chance in spite of her beauty .
The competitors of each match were announced in the World Announcements .
Everyone had now seen the list .
Drizzle Court against Glory Capital and the Xin Xin Mercenary Group against Peerless City . Even these
opening fights were between powerful contenders .
Peerless City!
This three-year- old guild had stepped into the limelight this competitive season .
Countless people were waiting to see how far they would get, especially against the Xin Xin Mercenary
Group .
There were millions of people watching this game and each ticket was sold for over 1 hundred thousand
gold coins .
If the Xin Xin Mercenary Group received 10% of that, they would be 10-thousand- gold-coins, or 1-
million-dollars- richer!
The individual round was Lu Li against Green Flag Wine .
Lu Li couldn’t help but sigh; he wished it was Deadly Gold Underpants .
Deadly Gold Underpants was a Warrior and theoretically countered Thieves . However, he was Undead,
so Lu Li’s Silver Bracer would give 18% bonus damage against him .
In a sense, Lu Li had an advantage over all the Undead because of this bracer .
Green Flag Wine was a Blood Elf . Blood Elves and Night Elves were part of the same family and had a lot
of history in Dawn’s lore . This caused one of them to ultimately leave and join the Horde . Now, they had
a mutual dislike and were hostile towards each other .
"Lu Li’s situation is unfavorable . The Tire Killer has plate armor and is able to give himself HP . "
This was the joint interpretation of the situation by Zhang Zhen and Dark Wind . They were obviously
trying to not favor either side in this duel .
"But let’s wait and see . Lu Li seems to be able to create miracles," Dark Wind added .
Meanwhile, in the match, Lu Li was just walking around . He had stunned Green Flag Wine, but didn’t
attack him .
"He appears to be trying to create some psychological pressure," Dark Wind explained . He was an
experienced analyst that was able to discern the heart of the matter . Some regular analysts would have
just concluded that Lu Li didn’t stand a chance .
Being stunned and waiting for your opponent to attack was not an easy thing to endure .
However, Green Flag Wine wasn’t a rookie . At least, the big screen close-up of his face didn’t appear to
show that he was anxious .
After 1 minute and 11 seconds, Lu Li finally attacked .
Premeditation, Cheap Shot and then an immediate Slit Throat!
He didn’t even wait for 4 combo points, which was full number of points that could be used with an
Ultimate Skill . Instead, he just took the opportunity that he had to attack .
The moment Slit Throat was cast, Green Flag Wine started to move again . He had used some kind of skill
that appeared to be from his equipment to remove the stun . He immediately casted Consecration the
moment he recovered from the stun .
There was nothing Lu Li could do but retreat .
His opponent could heal himself while his HP loss was basically permanent . Even after taking the
Bloodstained Badge back from Azure Sea Breeze, he wasn’t able to heal back to full health in such a
short period of time .
