The Great Thief - Chapter 935

Chapter 935
"Did this guy install a spring under him?" Lu Li thought spitefully .


Old Man Power, who was originally at the back, gradually made his way forward with his high jumps . It seemed as if the obstacle race was made specifically for him .
Not only were his jumps high, but they were also very far as well .
Lu Li guessed that this wasn't a skill; it was most likely some sort of equipment or item .
Lu Li transformed into a Child of the Forest . The average players thought that this was an upgraded version of the panther transformation, but it ran faster than the panther form, gave more Jump and had better damage reduction .
Many Druids transformed into this form, but none of them jumped as high as Old Man Power .
Lu Li was currently in fifth place, while Old Man Power had jumped from rank 50 to the top twenties as he continued to gain on the others . He seemed to have figured out where his advantages lied and wanted to seize this opportunity .
"A smart man – no one can compete against him at this stage . We're still uncertain how far he can go," Jiang Gu complimented .
"I'm assuming he'd have no problem making it into the top 5, but Lu Li sure is a steady player . He has currently dropped to the sixth place and he's about to be taken over," Li Yidong responded, then tried his best to hype up the crowd . "We all believe that Lu Li still has some aces up his sleeves, but we just don't know if he plans to use them at this stage . "


There was no way that someone of Lu Li's level wouldn't have an ace up his sleeve .
From the start until the end, he had been running with his basic speed in the first stage . In the second stage, he only transformed into a Child of the Forest and continued to run at a consistent pace .
"Past him! Old Man Power has run past Lu Li!" Jiang Gu exclaimed as he suddenly slammed the table . With a hoarse voice, he continued to dive deeper into his analysis and shouted, "Lu Li isn't panicking at all! He only looks like he's in his twenties; how can he still keep so calm . . . "
"I think it's because the second stage is almost ending," Li Yidong sighed .
He was right – Lu Li didn't really feel any pressure at all . He completely ignored the fact that Old Man Power had overtook him .
The third stage was a water-way, which made no difference for either Lu Li or Old Man Power because both of them were capable of transforming into Seal form .
If they really had to pick who had the upper hand, it would be Old Man Power – he was a real druid after all .
"It seems like they will maintain their distance in the third stage . The third stage is like a natural habitat for Druids; the other professional players quickly fell out of place in this section . "

By this point, Lu Li was in fourth place . It wasn't that he ran any faster than the two players before him, but that the two players before him had run too fast in the first and second stage . They had used up all their Stamina and now has to rest and recover . To stop and recover basically meant that they were out of the competition .

"I think they'll decide their places in either the fourth or fifth stage," Li Yidong said in disappointment .
By the time the third stage had finished, Old Man Power was already in first place . All the players ranked among the top ten was all out of the competition; only Lu Li continued to follow up in a steady pace .
He was currently ranked number four and had quite some distance to cover to catch up to Old Man Power .
After Lu Li arrived at stage four, he immediately changed into his crow form . This was a stage with twisted pathways, so he could easily create a huge gap between the others if he just flew over everything .
This transformation that he had obtained from Medivh was very powerful and fast . However, most of the players had no clue where it had actually come from . They all thought that this was some sort of special equipment, most likely the one that allowed him to transform into the panther and seal .
If Lu Li was just an average player, others would definitely hunt him down at all times until they forced him to drop this equipment .
Even if this was an item that couldn't be dropped, you couldn't expect to play the game normally either . The major guilds all agreed that any player that they couldn't have was an enemy that they needed to kill before he started to bloom .
"Seems like stage four is the stage where Lu Li will make his comeback . There's no doubt about this," Jiang Gu said hopelessly .
There was no way in real life for a marathon to have a strategy like this . A marathon not only challenged the competitors physically, but it also mentally . The current marathon seemed more like a joke; it only tested the strength of these players .
However, something unexpected happened – not everyone was helpless .
A total of three players, including Old Man Power, thought of a method similar to flying . One of them used a kite, while the other was a Hunter who had an average leveled pet Hawk that could carry them . Old Man Power seemed to have a cape that gave him flying abilities of some sort .
Lu Li was surprised by the results too; it definitely wasn't right to underestimate everyone's luck and wisdom .
Fortunately, Old Man Power's cape couldn't last through the entire third stage . Instead, the Hunter took over his position, but unfortunately, his pet Hawk died not long after they landed at the goal .
Lu Li assumed that this special pet wasn't easy to catch - maybe it was even a unique one . Otherwise, all Hunters could just catch a flying pet and fly anywhere they wanted .
The fifth stage was a completely flat path; it was the type of stage that encouraged everyone to use everything that they could .
Lu Li was ranked number third at this point . The two players before him were the Hunter and Old Man Power .
As for the other player who used a kite, he didn't become as famous as he thought he would after the competition .
Many Engineering creations weren't as stable as they seemed, and his thrusters for the kite were no exception .
During his flight, the Goblin Engineer slammed his head into a mountain in front of countless shocked players .
The two analysts were caught by surprise too and had no clue what they could say about the situation . In the end, all they could do was to advise players to be careful with their creations – otherwise, this would be their fate too .
Besides the Goblin engineer who died in an accident, other top hundred players were still persisting . Although they knew that they had no hope in the last stage, they still valued sportsmanship . Despite the changes over time, there were some values that would never fade away .
Lu Li, who was placed fourth, had no threat of being overtaken at all . However, Old Man Power had quite a gap between himself and the Hunter, so it wouldn't be easy for him to win over the Legendary equipment either .
Even he could manage to find a cape with flying abilities, it was not hard to imagine all the other aces that other players could have withheld .
