His feelings of injustice were in vain; the angry Shaman didnât even have a chance to heal himself before he died.
The Mage speechlessly stopped walking.
He initially thought that this Thief was in a similar predicament to him.
It seem to him that the both of them were struggling the kill each otherâs healers. Who would have thought that he had been faking it the entire time? He just slaughtered their teammate like a chicken.
His mental state was a mess as he helplessly watched the Thief run towards him. He really wished that he could take off this Thiefâs bandana and find out who this was.
Unfortunately for him, he didnât get a chance to; the combined attacks of Lu Li and March Rain quickly eliminated him.
The Warriorâs response to all of this was as expected; he quickly conceded and left the match.
âThat was really good,â Moonlight sincerely complemented March Rain. âThe Priest should aim to circle a pillar and use it to interrupt any Mageâs channeled skills. This is a high-level technique that every Healer should master.â
March Rain smiled happily; her previous grievances had been replaced with joy.
Discovering a new technique in the midst of battle was far more satisfying than having it told to you. It created a sense of achievement that made you feel like you could do anything.
Now she could confidently say that she loved this feeling.
Although she felt a similar way when they cleared Instance Dungeons, it was nothing compared to PVP.
âDonât get too proud,â Lu Li said bluntly. âYou are still a long way away from becoming a professional healer. A strong affinity for keeping yourself and others alive is a basic requirement for that.â
âThis guy⌠just let me be happy for a second.â March Rain usually had a good temper, but she couldnât help but wrinkle her nose at this.
âYouâll get it in a few more games,â Moonlight comforted.
âDonât go out and fight mobs; find a place to rest instead. The coming fights will only get harder.â
Lu Li and Moonlight hadnât put in much effort, but March Rain had been completely focused in these matches.
Lu Li wasnât an unreasonable person; he was just very strict on himself, which sometimes reflected in the way he treated others.
The three of them sat under a big tree and laid out a white cloth that they piled an assortment of food, drink and wild fruits upon.
Most of the wild fruits that could be found in the game were edible.
âI donât know how my brother is doing,â March Rain worriedly said as she nibbled on some bread.
While they were eating, Wanderingâs party was arrogantly and relentlessly crushing their opponents.
Although Wandering was a Defensive player, he had actually put quite a few points into Strength. He had also secretly been collecting a set of offensive equipment. With the two skill books gained from bomb farming, he wasnât lacking in this department either.
He had the skills and the levels, so he definitely could do quite a bit of damage.
Sesame Rice Ball and Sakura Memories could go without explaining; these two just tried to deal as much damage as they could.
Moreover, Sakura Memories could also drop totems.
At the start of every match, they would rush straight at the opponentâs healer.
No one else would ever understand what it felt like to be rushed by three level 25 players.
Of the four matches they had competed in so far, they had always managed to successfully burst down the healer. After they had killed the healer, the remaining DPS professions didnât stand a chance.
âThese players are simply no challenge to us,â Wandering said as he shook his head with a proud expression on his face.
âOur levels are pretty high,â Sesame Rice Ball replied shyly.
âI think itâs because youâre too good looking, so they always give us a chance.â
This guy always mentioned his good looks, but would feel insulted if someone else did.
Azure Sea Breeze, Lonesome Flower and Hachi Chan, on the other hand, didnât have such a radically aggressive lineup.
However, they had adopted another shameless strategy.
Azure Sea Breeze would stand in the front of Hachi Chan and Lonesome Flower.
This âturtle strategyâ ensured that no two players could be crowd controlled at once and that Lonesome Flower could easily help out Hachi Chan.
It created a seamless defense that prevented the opposing players from finding any openings.
If they focused Azure Sea Breeze, then that would be the optimal outcome. Azure Sea Breeze was so tanky that even a Boss couldnât kill him, let alone these ordinary players.
If they started to attack Azure Sea Breeze, then Lonesome Flower would rain his fury down upon them.
Lonesome Flowerâs damage was second only to Lu Li. However, Lu Li was so overpowered that no one could compare to him. In all of Dawn, there werenât many people who could compare to Lonesome Flower.
Even if they had really strong Healer, they didnât stand a chance against his and Hachi Chanâs combined attacks.
Once the Healer was gone, the match would be decided.
If you tried to kill Hachi Chan, that was truly a death sentence. This was the Systemâs daughter; she wasnât that easy to kill.
She had good equipment and was a high level. However, she would also mysteriously get buffs like a Shield, Rebound, Reduce Damage, Dodge⌠and even Invincibility.
It was likely that one of the players who attacked Hachi Chan had ended up with some mental trauma.
The poor guy knew that he had just faced someone who was particularly strong but he was also convinced that all other Druids were just as overpowered. As such, he avoided Druids from that point onwards.
If you wanted to kill Lonesome Flower, you would need to be able to quickly break through his shield.
Before going into the fourth match, Lu Li quickly checked out what was happening with the other two teams.
Wanderingâs team had already fought seven times, as their aggressive style quickly ended matches. Azure Sea Breezeâs team wasnât far behind either â they had just finished their sixth match.
âShould we finish the matches faster?â March Rain asked.
For the sake of training her, Lu Liâs team had wasted quite a bit of time. Otherwise, the combined strength of Lu Li and Moonlight would have quickly eradicated most teams.
âThereâs no need. Speed wonât win us the grand prize. We can only play ten matches every day anyway, so we can take it slowly,â Lu Li responded.
There was only one opposing player in this match.
As soon as the match began, he immediately gestured to stop.
âHold on, please wait!â
There was only one person that was visible, but the other two players could still be in Stealth. Lu Li couldnât risk lowering his guard.
âWhat do you want to say?â Lu Li asked as he stepped forward.
âGive me your bank account details.â
It was a hunter who had a Ringed Bear by his side. It wasnât an ordinary Ringed Bear either â it was a rare pet like Remnant Dreamâs.
âWhy do you want my bank details?â Lu Li was bewildered.
âIâll give you $100,000 if you concede,â the Hunter offered gracefully.
âDammit. Can I ask how many matches you have won?â Lu Li asked.
It turned out that he was only tycoon. Although Lu Li immediately lost respect for him, he realized that this probably wasnât a rare occurrence.
It wasnât just the Shadow Cup â almost all the tournaments had some kind of shady dealings. Most players were willing to accept this and as long as it didnât create too much of a hassle, the organizers didnât bother dealing with it either.
However, $100,000 real was no small amount.
âIâve been through eight games so far; you are the ninth. Donât be ashamed to take it â you do what you can to get rich. Moreover, there are eight teams before you who have already accepted our friendship.â
The Hunterâs perspective was a little strange â he believed that any rational person would accept his offer.
