Chapter 869 - 706: Round One: Probing
Sure, here is the translation:
Chun was extremely nervous, aware of his three significant weaknesses.
First, his control skills were terrible. Second, he had little experience in PK actual combat, and he hadn’t even used his own skills much. Third, he was unfamiliar with team skills, and probably lacked command abilities.
However, he had the Earth Lotus to manage, which greatly compensated for his control skills. Secondly, he had a Divine Craftsman Level module combination that allowed the team’s skills to flow smoothly. Thirdly, this Void environment seemed advantageous to him, as both he and the Queen could summon Void Storms. Also, this was a conventional world, so conventional Hurricane techniques could be used... he also possessed Dragon Transformation Technique and had accumulated ten days’ worth of bad luck...
However, the first battle would certainly be mutual probing and exploration...
In the midst of these thoughts, a mighty horn sounded.
—— System Prompt: Arena matching complete, the first round of battle begins! Battle time limit is 30 minutes.
It’s starting!
A golden light filled the sky opposite; it’s not clear if there are more than dozens!
Chun instantly sensed something was wrong. The opponent was Angels, air forces with the advantage to bomb and shooters at a range! Only half of our forces could fly!
In the next moment, the Lizardman waved his hand, displaying six large red light areas around me in the sky!
—— Team Prompt: Izak predicted the intensity of the opponent’s attack areas.
Huh? The intensity of the red light in the sky is the greatest! The opponent’s first reaction is to eliminate our air forces, then they can crush in land combat!
However, Chun did not intend to blindly command. The first two battles were for probing and exploring; he also wanted to see what level his team was at.
"Let the whole team play freely!"
"Earth Lotus, manage me! Do not use Void Druid skills for now."
"Okay, father."
This is pure automatic mode! The Void Druid is a profession I created and must be utilized in the decisive match.
Bast: "I found an unknown ore at the lake bottom; I’m going to check it out!"
Duodolin: "It might be Divine Stone Ore, I’m going too!"
Holy Shit!! We’re in a team battle, and you’re digging mines; like a pig ignoring boiling water! Although I considered the possibility of our side not cooperating, I didn’t expect it to be like this right at the start... fine, after all, they’re land combat forces, and can’t deal with the air forces, so instead of being bombed senselessly, they might as well hide well at the lake bottom.
In the next moment, a myriad of colorful lights—golden, fiery, icy, lightning—howled in at once, while the Queen’s sonic screech resonated across the battlefield, and Aimee’s long-lost Illusionary Mist unfolded instantly...
Chun’s screen suddenly became a chaotic mess, impossible to watch or listen to, just seeing the battle damage system prompt scrolling like a ball—Holy shit, even the system prompt was not clear!
Faced with such a degree of light and noise pollution, all of Chun’s thoughts vanished.
It must be said, commanding a team battle is an ability, a remarkable talent. And the Great God has that; although his command was mostly by shouting, he at least could see the situation in the team battle. Then the captains of those professional teams upstairs in Azure Sky, what kind of incomprehensible genius are they?
But Chun could still see his health bar wasn’t moving much; no, it was the Energy Shield brought by the reputation bonus from the Divine Craftsman Level Bragging Gang skills that hadn’t been broken!
Looking again at the health, unknowingly, the snowballing evolution of various professions, achievements, and mansion gang bonuses, it reached 400,000 health, a figure that made Chun inexplicably shocked and confused, almost suspecting he had added an extra zero!
The key point is, his Earth Flame Body was resistant to fire and earth, the Divine Artifact Cold Ice Dragon King was resistant to ice, the Divine Artifact Eye of the Storm was resistant to lightning, and the Divine Craftsman Level Spatial Technique was resistant to space attacks—even in such a battle, it seemed he wasn’t losing much health! Am I really that strong?
In that instant, Chun found his positioning and immediately issued a new instruction: "Aileen, mainly protect our team, take on their damage! Strive for no deaths!"
"Okay, father!"
To be honest, although resurrection is possible, Chun had doubts on the deep logical structure of the arena mode. Once a teammate is resurrected, are they really the same previous teammate?
So, the already chaotic screen started shifting variously; Instant Teleportation, Shrinking Earth, and even flying, Chun was delighted seeing Golden Horn and Silver Horn fulfilling their roles, although they couldn’t handle air forces, their mountain-like bodies were like two door panels...
Chun’s Energy Shield was finally broken, and the health started visibly to decrease, but a stream of blood light came pouring down; it was Blood Race Julia who gave him a quick healing sip along with a Blood Shield!
How could one die like this?
A huge prompt resounded across the arena skies:
—— Arena Prompt: 5 minutes remaining until the end of Round 1!
It seems our team is not dead, but there are no combat results either?
—— Arena Prompt: ... 1 minute remaining!
Chun suddenly felt nervous, would the opponent launch a major move in the last minute, suddenly killing a few of us? If that happens, we’d certainly have lost!
Chun still reminded the entire team: "In the final moment, the whole team must maintain the highest vigilance!"
Under Chun’s vigilant watch and intense defense, until the last second, the imagined surprise attack did not occur!
A whistle resounded throughout the sky!
—— Arena Prompt: The first round match ended with a score of 1:1! The second round will start in half an hour; both sides should prepare well.
Holy shit, this grinding for a tie!? Could the last round grind out a 3:3 with friendship first and competition second so that everyone survives?
Then the scene switched, and Chun’s team was back on the green lakeside, after half an hour of light pollution, the world became instantly clear and quiet, and in this first battle Chun hadn’t even seen the opponent’s appearance.
Chun really wanted to ask something, but found everyone was silent, apparently still lost in the intensity of the previous battle and not yet back to their senses.
Fine then, as someone who isn’t crucial, I won’t disturb and mess with their state.
But Bast and Duodolin were rummaging through their bags, bringing out a pile of Crystal Stones and exchanging them, which caused a noise.
Holy Shit! The battlefield map actually has ore to mine? And they managed to bring it out?
But seeing them focused and using various instruments to inspect, Chun did not feel appropriate to say anything, just waiting for everyone to recover before discussing. Ideally, the two could create an astonishing killer weapon, otherwise there would be no explanation for everyone in the decisive match.
Let’s check the time, it is now 6:30 pm, then switch to the main account, and see the situation of the main account.
On the main account’s side... Is it, Aileen? Have you had your meal while still working! Furthermore, it seems the farm is harvesting, and you’re right in front of hundreds of people acting so self-assuredly...
Chun did not disturb her, first checked the system messages:
—— System Prompt: Number 0016! It’s breakfast time, please dine on time.
—— System Prompt: Your Beelzebub title received communication from Nabchuanxi.
—— System Prompt: Congratulations! The farm had a successful harvest, and your Druid profession experience has been enhanced.
—— System Prompt: You gained negative emotions from the slum residents through White’s Prayer Secret Technique.
Hmm?
Sister Bai’s secret technique indeed worked! But... what? What’s this situation? How did it end up harvesting negative emotions? Did they not show gratitude for the free medication, but instead curse me?
