The arena is a perfect square, with sides measuring approximately twenty meters.
The ground appears to be made of an extremely solid material, and is surrounded by a faint, transparent barrier, similar to the barrier on the moving island in the "Mobile Home" instance.
The next second, a cold, mechanical sound suddenly rang out in the space.
Welcome to the dedicated battle space for battle cards. Here, you will engage in a fair duel.
The battle rules are as follows: Both sides can use their class skills and additional skills to fight in the arena. Items such as health/mana recovery cards and defense cards are locked. There is no time limit for the battle; it continues until one side's health drops below 30% or they voluntarily surrender.
After the battle is decided, both players will be teleported out of the independent battle space. Time inside the independent battle space is the same as outside time; please pay attention to the time changes.
[Countdown: 3, 2...]
Suo Tianyi looked at Yu Xiangnan, who was smiling and holding a shovel, and belatedly realized what was happening.
When did Yu Xiangnan appear?
Was he being held captive?
【1.......】
[The battle has officially begun!]
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yu Xiangnan launched a decisive attack. The iron shovel flew from his hand, striking like lightning towards Suo Tianyi's most vulnerable spot—his head.
Upon seeing this, Suo Tianyi's pupils suddenly contracted.
At the critical moment, he narrowly avoided the fatal blow in an extremely disheveled manner.
What the hell is going on?
Suo Tianyi immediately drew his longsword, but to his utter surprise, the shovel that had just been thrown out spun around in the air and came hurtling towards him again at an extremely fast speed, striking him squarely on the back of the head.
"Thump!!!"
Health -912 (Critical Hit Damage)
Suo Tianyi cried out in pain, clutching the back of his head with both hands. He stared at Yu Xiangnan, who had calmly caught the shovel with an air of composure, and his face instantly turned ashen.
He instinctively tried to use the healing card, but found that the healing card, mana card, and defense card were all locked and turned gray, making them unusable.
Enraged, Suo Tianyi could only point at Yu Xiangnan and yell, "So, you dared to ambush me? And you even tried to sneak up on me? Is this all the number one in the four rankings can do?!"
"That's ridiculous. The battle has already officially started. Am I supposed to just stand there like an idiot and wait for you to use your skills on me first?"
Yu Xiangnan responded without backing down, glancing sideways at the longsword that Suo Tianyi had just taken out as he spoke.
The sword's blade gleamed with a silvery-white light, and the hilt was carved into the shape of a majestic lion's head, with golden patterns tightly encircling it.
She had previously investigated and found that Suo Tianyi was ranked second in the [Professional Ranking - Knight].
The Knight's description in the [Profession Manual] is as follows:
【Knight】possesses strong defense, high health, excellent armor and resistance, outstanding melee attack ability, has a chance to have control skills such as stun and knockdown, has high mobility, and the charge skill can quickly approach or get away from enemies.
However, the Knight also has obvious weaknesses: insufficient ranged attack capabilities, making them vulnerable to being on the defensive against ranged enemies. Additionally, their skills have limitations in execution and relatively long cooldown times.
Based on the above, she can make full use of the knight's short reach, and by maintaining an appropriate distance, she can continuously deplete Suo Tianyi's health through ranged attacks.
The teleportation has a five-second pre-cast time, and players cannot teleport immediately while under attack, so even if Suo Tianyi wanted to leave, he couldn't. Even after the battle ends and she leaves the independent battle space, she can quickly deal with Suo Tianyi to prevent him from calling for reinforcements.
She declared that today's little broken shovel was a boomerang!
Why have I suddenly developed a liking for "vicious curses"?
Noticing that Suo Tianyi was trying to get closer, Yu Xiangnan immediately created some distance between them, used "Rolling Rolling Rolling" to trap Suo Tianyi, and then decisively threw out the shovel.
Another critical hit!
Suo Tianyi was completely subdued by Yu Xiangnan and had no chance to fight back. Blood kept flowing from his face, making him look quite gruesome.
"***, don't try to hide! What's so great about being number one on all four lists? You don't understand social etiquette, and sooner or later you'll be attacked by everyone. I'm just the first one to punish you..."
Yu Xiangnan sneered and interrupted him: "Shut up, you know-it-all. If you love lecturing so much, why don't you take the teacher's exam?"
Suo Tianyi choked, unable to refute.
He was filled with resentment and could not swallow his anger, nor was he willing to admit defeat. So, he decisively used a one-time-use teleportation item, instantly appearing behind Yu Xiangnan, and then swung his longsword.
He spent a fortune to buy two [Marrow Cleansing Stones] to increase the critical strike chance of his sword, just wait and see how she tries to dodge!
The first sword strike didn't land a critical hit; instead, it was countered by Yu Xiangnan's suddenly appearing shield!
The second sword strike still didn't land a critical hit!
The third sword strike, still nothing...
Suo Tianyi unleashed seven or eight sword strikes in succession, but none of them resulted in a critical hit. Not only that, he himself was also damaged by the shield's reflection, causing his health to drop drastically.
Suo Tianyi has begun to question the meaning of life.
Where are the critical hits?! Where did his critical hits go?!
Compared to his confusion, Yu Xiangnan was quite clear-headed.
The luck stat has taken effect.
The higher your luck stat, the greater the probability of a critical hit with each attack; conversely, the lower the probability of being critically hit yourself.
She really didn't expect that Suo Tianyi, a [Knight], would actually adopt the critical strike build of an assassin. She had inadvertently managed to counter him.
However, we can't afford to waste any more time... If that lackey returns, things will get complicated. If Suo Tianyi manages to escape, there will be endless trouble.
With that thought in mind, Yu Xiangnan took out the [Explosive Capsule] directly from the card album.
drop--
[Player Suo Tianyi (ID: 0) has been detected to have less than 30% health. The match has ended.]
[Congratulations to player Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00) for winning!]
[The losing player, Suo Tianyi (ID: 0), has 2500 Journey Points deducted; the winning player, Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00), has 2500 Journey Points. This victory will also be automatically added to the player's individual battle win count.]
As soon as Suo Tianyi emerged from the independent space, he seemed completely exhausted and plopped down on the ground. Just as he was about to shout, Yu Xiangnan swung his shovel violently, sending him flying.
Suo Tianyi flew through the air in an arc before crashing heavily to the ground. Just as he scrambled to his feet, his vision blurred, a strange, almost imperceptible melody suddenly reached his ears.
The next second, a gray-white player corpse appeared out of nowhere next to Yu Xiangnan.
The corpse moved behind Suo Tianyi with an eerie speed, reached out a hand, and covered his mouth, silencing him.
"Waaah, waaah..."
