The schedule for the knockout rounds was very full. As soon as Dawei Tianlong was carried away, the next game began in full swing.

"Oh? The next contestant should be familiar to everyone."

Hearing the host's voice, the players in the audience were extremely excited. They all pricked up their ears and focused their attention on the player channel.

Could it be another celebrity contestant? Maybe it's the one I support!

"Let us welcome the red team of this match - No. 00038, White Shark in the Waves!"

"Alas--"

Suddenly, a wave of boos broke out from the audience, almost drowning the entire venue.

Langlibaitiao has become notorious throughout the gaming industry.

At the end of the passage, a vampire wearing a black Nocturne uniform with dark red stripes appeared.

He has pale skin and a thin body, but he does not have the noble temperament of the "vampires" in TV dramas at all. Instead, he exudes a certain sense of meanness.

"Bah, bah, bah! Bad luck!"

"I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be a stray animal."

"Don't worry, Langchu. No matter who is on the other side, I will support them!"

But Langli Baitiao still walked out of the contestant seat with a smile on his face, not caring about the boos from the audience at all, and waved with a smile.

"Haha, everyone is so enthusiastic. Thank you for your support!"

"Support your sister!"

"Get lost, you slut!"

"I wish you were dead!"

There were curses coming from the audience again. If it weren't for the protective shield, some people would probably throw stones and rotten eggs at him.

Langli Baitiao's expression was still relaxed, and he even twisted his body and danced in the contestant channel.

Wearing the black and red "Nocturne" uniform, he gave off the impression of a spirited young man.

After years of doing this, he developed a face as strong as a wall, which allowed him to face the criticism from thousands of people with an unyielding look - but the finger here was the middle finger.

Hearing the constant stream of Chinese curses, the commentator smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it seems that Langli Baitiao is very popular."

"And in this match, his opponent is also a very popular player. Let us welcome the blue team of this match - Xia Ye Qiu Yu!"

"Ohhhhhh!"

"Qiuyu, I love you!"

"I will carry the banner for Qiu Yu!"

And after much anticipation, Xia Ye Qiu Yu finally appeared at the end of the contestant channel.

She was wearing a luxurious robe, with long brown hair draped over her shoulders. There was a flicker of fire in her golden pupils, and flames were flying around her.

Suddenly, the cheering group on the stage shook their light boards in unison, and a tsunami of cheers broke out from the audience.

"Autumn rain, burn the stray animals!"

Under the sharp contrast, the popularity of both sides can only be said to be clearly different, almost one-sidedly leaning towards Xia Ye Qiu Yu.

The younger brother of "Nocturne", Dark Wolf, also wanted to speak up for the president.

He just weakly said a few words "Come on, Brother Lang", and then he was stared at strangely by the people around him, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Cassius on the high platform was also attracted by the game. He leaned forward slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Dragon Bond Warlock.

This is an advanced profession that he opened to players not long ago, and it has not yet been tested in actual combat.

I wonder what effect it will have?

However, after he obtained the [Elemental Master] trait, the Dragon Bond Warlock's spell list was expanded to include all fire spells.

The intensity is definitely exceeded.

Although the recovery ability of the vampire template is also very strong, it still cannot be compared with the advanced profession with cheats.

"Don't let me down"

Cassius thought this in his heart as he looked at the two players on the field.

The referee gave orders amid the shouts of "Come on, Summer Night and Autumn Rain!" that filled the entire stadium.

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the whitebait moved!
Faced with strong professional players, he naturally could not choose the previous strategy of "standing and taking the beating".

That will be speed-passed!

We must fully utilize the advantages of vampires to have a chance of winning!

The white shark mobilized the energy in his body, spitting out bursts of black mist, creating a huge dark curtain.

Dark magic!
Within this realm of darkness, light cannot penetrate, and non-magical sources of light cannot enter.

As a vampire, Langli Baitiao is born with the ability of night vision, which allows him to move freely in the darkness and look for opportunities to attack.

And in this dark magic, there is also hidden the undead mist of [Vampire Touch]. As long as you touch it, your life energy will be sucked away.

The black fog continued to spread, and in the darkness came tiny noises and the filthy laughter of a white shark.

The commentator said in a heavy tone: "The Langli Baitiao player is creating an advantage for himself. He wants to bring out the vampire's characteristics to the extreme!"

"If you don't react, you can only watch the dark magic expand, but if you enter the dark magic, you will easily be attacked by the white shark in the waves."

"What a wicked heart this bastard has!"

"What's the devil's way of fighting? The beast is like a pile of shit, you can't clear it out, and once you go in, you'll get all over yourself."

"Qiu Yu won't lose, right?"

"There is still a way. She can use long-range spells to remove the darkness, but that would also make her vulnerable to sneak attacks by the beasts."

"Shh-"

Darts filled with poison flew out from the darkness, attacking from different directions, heading straight for Xia Ye Qiu Yu's face.

However, thin, ethereal flames surrounded her body, forming a glimmering shield that blocked the darts.

"Darkness?"

The autumn rain in the summer night was suspended in the air, fire was surging in the golden pupils, and the red robe was fluttering in the air.

She stretched out her slender hand, pointed at the black mist, and whispered a spell.

"boom!"

There was a sound of air bursting, and a blazing fireball appeared in the darkness, eliminating a large area of ​​black fog and illuminating the surrounding environment.

That's the flaming orb!

The vampire was also exposed to the light, and his skin felt slightly hot.

"What the hell?"

"Give the road some oil!"

The white shark cried out in surprise, and instantly threw away his cloak, flying at a low altitude, escaping into the darkness.

The wind is tight, shout!
While running, he did not forget to aim at the opponent with the crossbow hidden in his sleeve and shot a few arrows secretly.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Several more poison arrows attacked.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu dodged it, then waved his arm lightly, controlling the flaming ball to roll at high speed.

Just like that, a strange sight appeared on the field—a vampire was running in front, and a fireball was chasing behind.

But as the vampire escaped, his body kept changing and flashing, and he also threw out various poisons, darts and even bombs.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu frowned slightly: "We can't drag it on any longer, Lang Li Bai Tiao is too sinister."

Thinking of this, she cast a spell again. Fire Wall!
A scorching wall of fire suddenly rose up, blocking the direction of the whitebait's escape, and almost caused him to crash into it.

"I go--"

"So hot!"

The burning clothes were put out by the white shark. He let out a strange cry and then made an emergency turn.

On a summer night, the autumn rain pointed to the sky, and the hot and manic spell energy poured out and gradually condensed in the air.

A huge ball of rock, engulfed in flames, was suspended in the sky.

Ma Youfu's meteorite technique!

The white shark raised his head and was startled, almost jumping up: "What the hell? Earth-shattering Star?"

However, he had no time to think about it - because the next attack was about to come.

I saw Xia Ye Qiu Yu stretching out his hand downwards, with his fingertips pointing to where the whitebait was in the waves.

Suddenly, under her control, a fire meteorite fell from the rock, accompanied by a piercing scream, and rushed straight towards the white shark in the waves.

"Whoosh-"

"boom!"

Flames spread in all directions, explosions resounded through the sky, and huge holes and billowing smoke appeared on the ground.

A series of confusing black shadows appeared in the smoke, and there was also the sound of flapping wings.

The white shark turned into dozens of vampire bats and escaped from the terrible explosion.

One of the bats was still howling in anger: "No, spells are free?"

"boom!"

"boom!"

However, Xia Ye Qiu Yu did not answer. What responded to him were the meteors falling from the sky and the horrific explosions again and again.

"boom!"

The flames spread and engulfed several vampire bats.

Even bats could not escape from the successive explosions, and soon only a few were left hiding.

The recovery ability that the white shark was proud of was worthless in the face of this horrible, burning flame.

The commentator's tone was passionate: "The player of Langli Baitiao is very passive! In terms of energy output, the Trickster can't compare with the Dragon Bond Warlock at all."

"With the blessing of the Dragon's Heart, Summer Night Autumn Rain's bombardment continues without a break. The Wave White Stripe contestant must find a way to break through!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The hot rays shot out, and several vampire bats wailed, and were blown black and fell from mid-air.

There were bursts of laughter from the audience.

"The slut ran away in panic."

"Like a wild animal!"

"Isn't this just a sandbag?"

However, in a corner that no one noticed, an invisible bat quietly slipped behind Xia Ye Qiu Yu, controlling a cloud of blood mist.

"Look, what is that?"

Finally, someone with sharp eyes noticed something unusual. The blood mist and bats gradually condensed into a thin human figure - it was the vampire White Shark.

"What the hell? A mini-slut?"

Due to severe blood loss, the whitebait is now less than one meter long, like a miniature doll.

In fact, in a 1v1 match, a rogue who relies on sneak attacks as his main means of attack is at a great disadvantage.

In terms of ranged combat, they are not as good as mages and warlocks, and in terms of close combat, they are not as good as warriors and monks, and their advantages are also limited.

Hidden?

Where can I hide in such an empty space?
Or a sneak attack?

You are the only opponent and he is staring at you. How do you attract his firepower?
In the preliminaries, Langli Baitiao can use the special features of the vampire template and level suppression to play with his opponents at will.

But in the knockout rounds, high-level players have no shortage of means of output, and as a trickster from the rogue branch, there is only one thing he can do - fight!
Come on, give it a try!
The bet is that the Dragon Contract Warlock's close combat ability is not strong enough to resist his deadly sneak attack.

"Haha, come on!"

"So what if you're a professional boss? You didn't expect this to be the route I'll use for my sneak attack!"

"Little White Shark in the Waves" held a poisoned dagger in his hand, with the same wild smile on his face, and flew towards the summer night and autumn rain.

The blade was surging with extremely cold undead energy, and once it touched flesh and blood, it would greedily suck it dry.

That's the [Vampire Touch]!
Several more poisonous darts pierced the air and flew towards us.

This is his last sneak attack!

However, Xia Ye Qiu Yu was surrounded by flames, which once again blocked the incoming darts.

The powerful body given by the Dragon Heart also gives her extremely strong reaction ability.

Xia Ye Qiuyu suddenly turned around, and her beautiful golden eyes, with flames surging in them, just met the blood-red eyes of Langli Baitiao.

"Shh-"

And from her seemingly slender arms, a strange force suddenly surged, firmly grasping the knife-holding hand of the white shark in the waves.

The smile on Langli Baitiao's face suddenly froze, and he struggled hard, trying to swing the dagger.

“It seems a little bad.”

"No, your power—and you call yourself a warlock?"

The white shark's face was shining in the firelight, even with burnt black spots, and his eyes reflected a dazzling light.

I saw the beautiful mouth of Qiu Yuxiu slightly open on a summer night, and the hot flames that had been accumulated for a long time poured out from it.

"boom!"

That is [Dragon Breath Technique]!
By the time the flames died down, the whitebait had turned into ashes.

No matter how strong the vampire's recovery ability is, it cannot gather the flying ashes and restore its human form.

There was a sudden roar of applause from the audience, and the players were extremely excited.

"Good job!"

"You are worthy of being my Qiuyu wife!"

"Am I the only one who feels that the Dragon Bond Warlock is a bit overpowered?"

"Yeah, spells are cast like crazy, and each spell is incredibly powerful, even increasing strength and physique."

The commentator's voice was still full of passion: "Let us congratulate Xia Ye Qiu Yu, she won the game with a bang!"

"And this is the result that everyone expects. No, even if the Langlibaitiao contestant uses all means, he can't see any hope of winning."

The commentator seemed to have inadvertently revealed his position.

While selecting the leader, many professional players looked solemn, analyzing the game carefully.

Generally speaking, warlocks only use a few spells that they are familiar with. It only takes a few battles to understand their spells, and then they can make targeted preparations.

But the battle in Summer Night and Autumn Rain subverts this.

The variety of spells of the Dragon Bond Warlock far exceeded their imagination, and even mage players like Charlotte were stunned.

It would be fine if the spell strength was maxed out, but do you have so many spells?

How can an orthodox mage play this game?
It is no exaggeration to say that in this game, Xia Ye Qiu Yu acted like a little boss.

Sitting on the throne on the high platform, Cassius listened to the discussion of the players and thought to himself, "Of course the strength of the advanced profession that I personally gave power to is beyond expectations."

"Want to be the best among players? Want to have great power? Then work hard for the Empire!" (End of this chapter)
