“Pfft!”
Seeing this scene, the audience could not help but laugh .
What kind of standard was this? An Archer would have to only have to aim correctly through a system guided targeting system . Even the worst Archer would be able to find their mark . However, the arrow from Ling Longmeng only flew harmlessly on the ground . It was way too embarrassing .
Did she shoot it with insufficient range? That’s not possible… The peak was not too high so there was no reason to blame the distance for the inaccuracy .
All Encompassing looked on the developments with a slight grin . He drew his sword and continued his ascend .
At this instance, All Encompassing felt a sinking feeling and his legs seemed to be bounded as he lost all movement .
As the audience re-evaluated the developments, they quickly glanced at All Encompassing and saw that he was afflicted with bind .
Binding: Your shadow is bound and you are rooted for three seconds .
Ling Longmeng who was still standing on the peak nocked another arrow directed at All Encompassing .
An Archer was a job that personified Agility . Their attack speed was also the fastest among all the classes . Ling Longmeng sent a barrage of arrows towards All Encompassing unceasingly .
All Encompassing was also a top master in his own rights . Although he was rooted, his hands were not fully immobilized and he angled his sword to protect the vital parts of his body .
Ling Longmeng had also added a significant amount of her stat points to Intelligence so her attack damage was not high . Even though All Encompassing was rooted and his face tanked all her arrows, he only lost less than a tenth of his HP .
After his body was released, All Encompassing steadied himself as he continued his rush up the mountain .
All Encompassing was about to reach the top when he encountered another one of Ling Longmeng’s arrows .
“Urgh!!”
Seeing the oncoming arrow, All Encompassing roared loudly as he leapt up from the ground .
“Pah!”
The binding arrow shot towards the ground .
All Encompassing soared over in the direction of Ling Longmeng .
Ling Longmeng had already taken a step back and she raised the crossbow in her hand to confront her opponent from the skies . She took aim at him and let loose a few arrows .
“Bang!”
After a loud blast, a menacing arrow locked towards All Encompassing’s head .
[Convulsion Arrow]!!
The [Convulsion Arrow] could cause a momentary confusion and it was highly effective towards a Warrior .
Ling Longmeng was less than two metres away from her target . The arrow flew so quickly that All Encompassing had minimal time to react to it .
There was no room to evade such an arrow in midair, so All Encompassing had no choice but to tank the attack face on .
“Duang!”
A muffled sound reverberated throughout the arena, as All Encompassing was lying in a dazed state on the hillside .
Ling Longmeng moved quickly and a shot another [Binding Arrow] and restraining web as she began to accumulate power in her bow .
After two seconds, Ling Longmeng released the string and a dazzling streak of light hit All Encompassing squarely on his body, engulfing him from all directions .
At this time, a line of ancient characters appeared above the head of Ling Longmeng: Awakening [Meteor Splitting Strike]!
This was the most powerful skill an Archer could possess before level 60 . It was called Meteor Splitting Strike . After two seconds of power storage, one could shoot thirty powerful arrows to attack the target in one show .
[Meteor Splitting Strike] was the awakening skill equivalent of [Meteor Shower] .
Ling Longmeng’s damage with this skill was not to be trifled with . With All Encompassing motionless on the ground, he received direct critical damage from all thirty arrows . All Encompassing eventually dissipated into a streak of white light as he was sent out of the arena .
The speed of her arrows was at such a breakneck speed that the audience did not fully register the battle until it was over . They only came to a full realisation after the big screen replayed the footage of the battle .
There was not much technical nous in the battle but a few well-timed control skills and an awakening Ultimate skill .
The main source of victory came from that fact that Ling Longmeng had occupied a vantage point and could pin down All Encompassing from all directions .
If it was any other terrain, there would be places for All Encompassing to hide from Ling Longmeng’s arrows .
It was no wonder that Team A Murder Of Crows would choose this terrain since it could make up the big gap in skills between their players .
After Ling Longmeng was declared as the victor for the first match, the audience could barely believe their eyes .
Frost Blade was even more incredulous at the results, “She could even win like this? Maybe even I could even give it a try . ”
“Don’t spout nonsense!” Fearless retorted plainly . “This terrain is more favourable only for long-distance players . ”
In-game was vastly different from reality after all . In reality, occupying the high ground could gain you significant advantages while it was not such a big advantage in the game . The high ground in-game were only for vision and control .
Furthermore, close-combat jobs had simply no advantage when they occupied the high ground .
“What were your intentions when you chose this terrain? Is it only effective for long-distance players?” Frost Blade was still confused .
Fearless continued, “I want to raise our odds of winning as much as possible through a favourable terrain . At the very least, half of our team consists of ranged attackers . ”
The original Team A Murder Of Crows only had three players who had a good grasp of victory . Choosing a favourable terrain brought additional advantages to their ranged members which could consequently improve their chances of victory .
Moving on to the second match, a Kyushu Squad member was transferred into the arena .
Sacred Mountain was selected to be the competitor this time .
Hmm… Sacred Mountain had a formidable strength but he had met overwhelming opponents every time he was called up to battle . The first time he had met a swordmaster and next he had met Wang Yu .
This time, Sacred Mountain’s luck finally improved . He had met Ling Longmeng who was an Archer .
In theory, an Assassin would have the advantage over an Archer .
The biggest advantage of the high ground that the player had full vision of his opponent . However, this advantage was nulled in the face of an Assassin because they could disappear from view through [Stealth] anyway .
Sacred Mountain knew that he held the advantage this time . The moment the signal for the match to begin, Sacred Mountain wasted no time as he activated [Stealth] and charged straight to the top of the mountain .
Ling Longmeng had lost vision of her opponent instantly and could only retreat .
If Ling Longmeng had shot a few arrows in his direction, Sacred Mountain would still have to re-evaluate whether Ling Longmeng had any anti-stealth skills . However, the actions that Ling Longmeng took gave him information that she did not have such skills .
Sacred Mountain quickly scaled the mountain and reached the peak . He saw Ling Longmeng in the distance motionless .
Sacred Mountain had already endured two rounds of beating . He resisted the urge to rush up to his opponent let alone an Archer with trap skills . As long as Ling Longmeng had no vision of him, he was 80% confident in his ability to avoid her traps .
Sacred Mountain picked up a small stone on the ground and tossed it behind Ling Longmeng .
