Chapter 1909: Still Too Simple

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“I did – I said Lu Li’s so shameless, not wanting to try out any skills with him. He only cares about himself, I slapped his face and told him to just cut out the nonsense.”

Jade Flower Lover was helpless too.

“So what’s he doing now?” The Untamed asked as he pointed to the two people who were still scheming against each other.

“All I can say is that he is still a kid. He just can’t imagine how shameless Lu Li actually is,” Jade Flower Lover sighed. Even if Biting Youth lost, he wouldn’t feel good. Only through experience would he be able to understand this world.

In terms of shamelessness, no one was more suitable than Lu Li to be a teacher.

“This kid…you’re planning to take an eye for an eye with him?”

The Untamed was distressed about Biting Youth.

“He probably thinks what happened just then was an accident. He thinks that his Conceal and Detection is better than Lu Li’s, so he’s learning from Lu Li to cover things up. This kid really isn’t suited to be a Thief,” Jade Flower Lover laughed coldly.

On the contrary, the Untamed was quite positive.

“Don’t they all come over like this? We have to thank Lu Li.”

Biting Youth had already constructed his script, and, in accordance with it, Lu Li was standing behind him. As soon as Lu Li made a move, he would open up and counterattack. The origin of all his self-confidence was from his understanding that Lu Li’s Conceal and Detection were rather average.

Lu Li attacked!

Just like Biting Youth, Lu Li cast a Cheap Shot. His dagger went right into the back of Biting Youth’s head.

Lu Li was not wielding his Epic Dual Swords because he didn’t think Biting Youth was worth it.

Reality also confirmed what he deduced. Biting Youth took a small step to the side with confidence, thinking that this was enough to avoid Lu Li’s Cheap Shot. At the same time, his dagger was already ready to give Lu Li a Gouge.

Lu Li tried very hard not to laugh. He wiggled his wrist, following Biting Youth’s movements. He wasn’t being gentle at all as he followed the back of Biting Youth’s head to stab it down.

A successful Cheap Shot!

This successful Cheap Shot also made it clear what Biting Youth’s fate was. His HP was less than Lu Li’s to begin with, let alone the fact that they had already been even in exchanging skills.

He had been completely deceived from top to bottom!

Blood Red War Flag wasn’t too dissatisfied about this. Biting Youth’s thinking process was simply too one-dimensional. If he was going to suffer under the viciousness of others in the competitions, then why not start learning now?

The second one to go up from Blood Red War Flag was the Untamed.

If Lu Li was finished off, Moonlight would take the stage. Then, their new Berserkers would stand a chance.

Could Lu Li at half-HP win against the Untamed?

Especially since most controlling and cleansing skills had already been used, the answer obviously went without saying. The Untamed was a solid celebrity-level league competitor, and was the poster boy for Blood Red War Flag.

After Lu Li was defeated, the Untamed still had a fair bit of HP left, but he left the competition right away. He actually didn’t want to give any advantage at all to the new Berserkers that were coming up next.

Prison Stream was said to be a new person, but he was actually older than most rookies. At the very least, he was older than Biting Youth.

He was a relatively experienced player. Apart from his own strength, he also led a mercenary group that travelled around, helping with people’s problems. This time, he had accepted Blood Red War Flag’s recruitment and became an official competitor for the guild.

His addition made up for the lack of capable Berserkers in Blood Red War Flag.

He wasn’t as talented as Biting Youth, but in terms of battle experience and wisdom, he was far ahead. At the very least, Lu Li’s shallow methods wouldn’t have tricked him.

He had long admired Moonlight, but had never fought him.

He was filled with enthusiasm and self-confidence fighting against one of the very best Berserkers in the entire game. After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, they immediately clashed.

This was why many people enjoyed spectating fights between Berserkers. An axe here and a blade there made it all very energetic. It wasn’t like a battle between Thieves, where both parties were trying to be more cunning than the other.

Just because the two of them were fighting intensely, didn’t mean that they lacked finesse. They Blocked, changed positions and chained different spells. Evidently, Moonlight was a step ahead. His HP decreased slower than his opponent’s.

Moonlight was someone who could often be found in the Wild, attacking at least five people on his own. It was said that when there weren’t enough people to target, he would turn his head and leave, because that just wasn’t enough of a challenge.

In the end, it was still Moonlight who claimed victory. All in all, the scores were 3 to 2.

At this time, however, the scores were completely meaningless, so no one payed attention to them.

The group battles were like before – Blood Red War Flag simply arranged for three new people to join the two old hands on the stage. The other new player was Drunken Agar, a Warlock, working together with The Untamed and the Priest Dark Heavens.

It was all well within Lu Li’s expectations.

Meanwhile, his setup consisted of Moonlight, Mu Qiu, Kitty Likes Meat, Innocent Child, and himself.

Like before, there were four DPS players and a single healer, but evidently, Lu Li’s players were stronger. Nothing needed to be said for Moonlight and Mu Qiu, and Innocent Child, with his unmatched adaptability, wasn’t easy to deal with either. A Warlock like Kitty could transform into all kinds of beings to keep herself alive, and as for killing Lu Li, the other side probably hadn’t even considered it.

What were the weaknesses of the new people?

Not only were they lacking in experience, but what they lacked more was their cooperation. Their teamwork could not be compared with Ruling Sword’s competitive lineup, who had fought together many times before.

That was why Lu Li’s strategy was to drag it out, analyze their opponent’s flaws and then deliver a fatal strike.

Evidently, The Untamed already understood this, but he didn’t think it was bad at all. This was a rare opportunity. Where else could he find a mature team to battle together with?

It was only through both ups and downs that a team could grow quickly.

Otherwise, if they simply relied on the practice fights against each other, no matter how much their fought, it wouldn’t be much use.

Lu Li deserved to be called one of the top commanders and strategists in Dawn. It seemed that he would hit the nail on the head when exploiting his opponent’s weaknesses. This sort of targeted fighting was always more common now than in the finals.

Both sides were fighting very stably. They fought a few rounds to flesh things out at the very beginning, and there weren’t any casualties at all.

Lu Li didn’t choose for the Priest to be the weak link, since a Priest’s main role was certainly to protect their target. The new competitor Drunken Agar had become their weak link target. Lu Li was waiting for him to consume all his protective skills.

Blood Red War Flag was similar as well. They didn’t even consider Innocent Child at all. Their weak link

target was Moonlight.

Kitty Likes Meat was a famous player; there was no secret as to who her dad was. The daughter that Cat’s Dad taught naturally would make her top of her class. You couldn’t hope that he had made any mistakes.

That was why Moonlight had become the first target.
