Chapter 1071: 1071
When Enthrall saw Lu Li's Vanish, he focused his mental strength to make use of the increased Perception effects from his equipment . He was determined to pull Lu Li directly out of Stealth .

There was someone behind him!
Enthrall cast Trample without thinking about it further, creating a huge crack in the ground . However, he didn't catch anything .
Trample was one of the most convenient ways to catch a Thief . It was instant, had a large range, and was applied all around him . As long as the Thief was standing next to the Warrior, he would be affected .
Unfortunately, Enthrall's Trample had fallen short .
Those who had great knowledge in PVP knew how to deceive other players . They were familiar with the other profession's skills and even psychological attitudes when in battle .
Lu Li was indeed behind Enthrall, but he immediately retreated once he got there to bait out the Trample . This was the skill that threatened him most .
The next thing he needed to bait out was Whirlwind .

Enthrall didn't move . As a Warrior, he wasn't afraid of being hit a few times as he wasn't going to die so quickly . His badge had to be used at the most critical moment . .
In fact, most players who used the badge to get out of crowd control didn't use it well, unless there were special circumstances like a player needing to be saved…
Lu Li obviously understood why his opponent wasn't doing anything, so he cast a Premeditation + Cheap Shot + Shadowstrike . Now only did this cause Crowd Control and deal significant damage, but it also accumulated five combo points . These points were all exhausted by the his next skill, Disarm .
However, Enthrall seemed to have used a Damage Reduction skill, as the damage he took suddenly became negligible while he recovered from the stun .
In fact, Enthrall found himself in a conundrum – he wasn't sure if he should use Whirlwind or not . If he used it, he had to deal significant damage, but his opponent still had his badge and various escape skills . On the other hand, if he didn't use it, he could already see his HP rapidly dropping . The worst scenario would be him dying without getting the opportunity to use Whirlwind .
Lu Li cast Gouge, swinging his dagger directly at Enthrall's face . After Enthrall was stunned, Lu Li leapt behind him and started attacking once again .
Even a Plate Armored profession couldn't withstand the crowd control and continuous damage of Disarm . Enthrall couldn't find an opportunity to bait out Lu Li's badge or escape skills, so he just clenched his teeth and cast Whirlwind .
Lu Li was hit twice before he blinked outside of the Whirlwind range with his shoes' effect .

He slowly raised his dagger and licked it as a damage value of over 100 appeared over Enthrall's head .
Dammit, what kind of skill allowed a Thief to deal over 100 damage from range? Lu Li had even managed kite . After Enthrall stopped spinning, he cast Charge, wanting to fight Lu Li at close range .
After the Charge, Lu Li went back to his original rhythm of fighting .
Before Enthrall died, Lu Li also used his necklace's special effect to recover some HP . In the end, his HP wasn't any less than after he had killed the Mage – in fact, he had even gained some .
Lu Li wasn't afraid of fighting in melee because he had a special effect that could rebound 30% of an attack and convert the damage into HP . This HP converting effect only worked in melee, but when coupled with Lu Li's high Vampirism attribute, he had regenerated at least 10% of his HP in that battle .
The way that Enthrall had lost was rather pathetic and even the commentators didn't know what to say .
In fact, nothing that they could have said meant anything anyway – a loss was a loss . Enthrall failed to eliminate Lu Li, which meant that he could actually defeat all five of Blue Universe's players .

Of course, this had been done before, but not in this context . If a random team fought a celebrity player, this would obviously be what happened . However, this was a game in the top 16!
Blue Universe's next player was a Hunter who had brought a rare Raptor pet with him .
Often, half of a Hunter's strength came from their pet .
An average player would use a general pet that they would bring wherever they went, care deeply for, and treat like family . Even if they couldn't afford to repair their equipment, they would still buy food
for their pet .
However, professional players would focus on training a few different pets to target several common professions .
A Hunter like Feather Enthusiast had a number of rare pets on hand to make up for his class' shortcomings . He had to ensure that each of these pet's levels weren't too low .
Although the Raptor was a dragon character, Azeroth distributed them quite widely . There was quite a complicated variety of them, but only a handful of rare Raptors .
This one had a dark grey back and a scar on its face . Its greatest feature was its attack strength, along with its lightning-quick movement speed . It also had a Slash effect, which was useful against some Professions .
"Hi Lu bro, I didn't expect to see you in the arena," Feather Enthusiast beamed .
"Hello," Lu Li couldn't help but nod .
"In fact, we are forced to do this," Feather Enthusiast said, scratching his head as he leisurely walked . "We signed with the Shen Group, and they saw that we performed well this season . As such, they forced us to work together . Otherwise, we would have to go to court…"
The players outside the arena didn't know what they were saying . All they could see was that the two players weren't fighting but were talking .
What was happening? Was he begging for mercy?
Lu Li looked at this player and was puzzled . If they were going to concede, shouldn't it come from their Leader, Enthrall?
Moreover, Lu Li didn't believe a single word coming from this guy's mouth . Even if Water Fairy and her father were on bad terms, there was no way it would go to court . This was an internal family matter, so why would a big business leader make such a big thing out of it?
"…so, Lu Bro, how about you just raise your hand and concede for us?" Feather Enthusiast asked as he gave Lu Li a smile .
"…" Lu Li was too lazy to respond and just went straight into Stealth . He felt like his time was being wasted . He didn't know what Feather Enthusiast had to gain from wasting time, as Lu Li's HP and cooldowns were slowly regenerating .
