Chapter 900: Undead Mage (1/2)
That I beat Moon Shadow twice in a row and won the third match meant that Flower Room’s WEL journey had come to an end. I had to commend them for coming this far though. The players themselves were just averagely skilled, which probably meant that they were relying on Spring Mud and Moon Shadow’s excellent equipment to defeat their opponents. Moreover, Moon Shadow was a point securer because he was a Level 180 seventh-promotion warrior. There were few teams in the preliminaries who could stop him once he activated War God Rampage.
Li Le glared at us from his waiting area and said, ”Ancient Sword may have taken three points in a row, but… we still must finish the remaining two matches.”
I nodded. ”In the spirit of sportsmanship, we agree to play out all five matches.”
The fourth match was He Yi versus Li Le, both the guild leaders of their respective guilds. The power gap between them was pretty huge though. Li Le might’ve bought himself a full set of top-tier equipment, but not even the power of RMB could buy him high-level Outstanding Immortal-grade equipment. That was why his weapon and his shield were always going to be outmatched by He Yi’s Seven Star Veluriyam Spear and Dharan City Ruins Barrier, not to mention that He Yi herself had spent every day for the past half a year or so studying full-body VR control and proper combat tactics. It was an advantage that Li Le lacked even more.
The result of the duel between the two mounted players was pretty clear. After changing her movement speed and altering her direction twice, she stabbed him with the Seven Star Veluriyam Spear and brought the score to 4:0.
The last match was attended by me and Beiming Xue, so of course it was going to be a one-sided slaughter. In fact, I did my best to end the battle as quickly as possible because it was one of the factors that affected the MVP score. The shorter the duel, the more points were awarded, and the higher the DPS numbers became. All these variables would be used to decide the MVP of WEL China, a title that every top-tier expert dreamed of getting!
……
After we ended Flower Room’s WEL journey with a 5:0 score, Li Le stood at the waiting area with an ugly red complexion on his face. Spring Mud was standing next to him and probably consoling him.
However, Li Le’s expression turned uglier when he saw the match result on the display. ”Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g kidding me? A human trash like Roaming Dragon entered 1/16 while we were eliminated in the first round? F.u.c.k…”
Spring Mud consoled, ”It’s fine, Roaming Dragon isn’t going to go far. We were just unlucky to encounter Ancient Sword right at the beginning of the play-offs. They were the favorites to win the whole thing, so it makes sense that we weren’t able to compete with them…”
Li Le bared his teeth for a second before saying, ”Well, I guess we’re not going back to the club tonight. Let’s log off and drink until the night. I’ll ask Life of Luxury to bring over a few babes.”
Spring Mud replied, ”Okay…”
……
After all the matches happening on the smaller stages had ended, Fei’er returned to the center stage wearing the one and only uniform dress that existed in the entire game and held up her mic. ”After 20 minutes of exciting battles, the list of the Top 32 teams is now in my hands! Now, we’ll let the main system shuffle the teams at random and place them in the upper and lower brackets of the 1/16 phase!”
Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the gigantic display in the sky. A flash later, the list of teams inside the upper bracket appeared—
Group A
Warsky Alliance VS Peach Garden
Purple Lily VS Meteor Flame
Group B
Soul Battle Robes VS Rose of the Holy Domain
Blazing Hot Lips VS Snow Moon
Group C
Thunder VS Silver Soul
Snowy Cathaya VS Hegemon Palace
Group D
Mad Dragon VS Gods of Destruction
Baidicheng VS Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls 222nd
……
We didn’t appear in the upper bracket, so there was no way we would run into Warsky Alliance or Snowy Cathaya until the finals. There were countless powerful teams in the upper bracket such as Warsky Alliance, Purple Lily, Soul Battle Robes, Snow Moon, Snowy Cathaya, and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls 222nd. It was going to be an exciting bracket for sure.
Next was the lower bracket. It didn’t take long for Fei’er to click the right buttons and put the results on the display—
Group E
Candle Dragon VS The Monarch Descends
Weeping Blood VS Righteousness
Group F
Who Will Fight Me VS Conquer
Pop Culture VS Rain Sanctuary
Group G
Dominating Heaven Tiger VS Wing Chun Sect
Mini VS Sword Lord of Jianghu
Group H
Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls VS Heavenly Feather City
Panda VS Dirge of War
……
”Looks like our luck is pretty good, hehe…” Lian Xin clenched his fists while smiling. ”We’re placed in the same bracket as Candle Dragon! Looks like only one of us is walking away from this bracket!”
