The top eight was starting to get serious and any club would give it their best .
Not only did the live-streaming cost a huge fee, but what really attracted spokespeople and advertising jobs was also the performance in these matches . For example, Ruling Sword's battle against Blue Universe was a classic, but it didn't have such a huge impact on the fans .
Against a top club like Peerless City, Moonlight would be the safest Bet .
Deadly Golden Underwear!
After Lu Li saw who was sent out first, he couldn't help but smile .
The opponents probably thought that he was going to come out first . Berserkers did have an advantage against Thieves, but they probably didn't expect Ruling Sword to send out a Berserker first as well . This meant that they would be playing by their own power and nothing else .
Without a doubt, Peerless City was a little greedy to send out Deadly Golden Underwear . They probably wanted to perform better in the one-on-one battles .
With the class difference between Warriors and Thieves at this point, Lu Li really wasn't too sure if he could win against Deadly Golden Underwear . Even if he could win, it would be tough and would cost him more than half of his health .
An unbalanced game would not attract more players .
Unfortunately, Lu Li didn't appear first as Peerless City had hoped .
If they hadn't been so greedy and sent out their Mage, Half Cigarette, Moonlight would be in some trouble .
Now that everyone had obtained more skills and upgraded their equipment, the specialty of all classes began to show . Theoretically, Mages did counter plated-Warriors, but it still depended on their technique .

Peerless City was disappointed, but the players weren't .
All the Warriors in the audience seats yelled and shouted as if they had been injected with adrenaline . They looked like they were ready to jump in and help with the battle themselves .
For these passionate Warriors, this was a feast for their eyes .
The best players of each class had been a common and popular topic in the forums .
In the usual threads, Gaze was often regarded as the best Warrior .
There was always an ongoing debate about who was better between Moonlight and Gaze, and Deadly Golden Underwear also had his own supporters . Now that they were matched up against each other on such a formal stage, everyone felt like their tickets were worth it .
The match began with an open encounter . Moonlight and Deadly Golden Underwear had battled each other a few times already in the past and knew each other inside out . Even players who couldn't understand their techniques found this match interesting .
Both of the analysts were either current competitors or competitors of the past, so most of their analysis was on point .
Hence, the players began to understand that Moonlight had the upper hand .
The reason for his advantage wasn't because of his level or equipment . Although he had excellent equipment, he often unnecessarily involved himself in PVP battles . Not only did this cause him to lose his equipment, but it also caused him to lose his Experience points . This was why he was never found amongst the top 50 on the level rankings .
Every competitor had their own style . Moonlight was wild and learned many things through his own battles, so Lu Li never tried to stop him .

From Lu Li's memories of his previous life, Moonlight had done way too many crazy things . He fought against professional competitors and even took on guilds by himself . It seemed as if he was finding all sorts of different ways to commit suicide .
However, he never dropped back to level 0 and managed to produce miracles each time .
How could Lu Li possibly try and stop him from his growth?
On top of this, Deadly Golden Underwear's technique and reaction time were still inferior to Moonlight's .
When Moonlight's health dropped to about 2/3, Deadly Golden Underwear had already lost half of his health . His fans were emotional, but they couldn't stop the situation from tilting towards Moonlight's favor .
However, Lu Li and Cat Dad weren't too optimistic about the whole situation . Cat Dad pointed towards the stage and said, "The best situation would be an equal outcome . Deadly Golden Underwear has a risky play style; he's going to get more aggressive later . "
"Mmmm," Lu Li agreed half-heartedly while watching, then said, "But I'm confident about Moonlight . He hasn't disappointed us before . "
like Deadly Golden Underwear had received some sort of passive skill from a quest in the past . After his health dropped to 20%, his attack and movement speed were boosted based on his health level . His Lifesteal would also be increased greatly .
This was no secret; he had used it a few times already before and its effects were publicly known .
Lu Li wasn't sure how Moonlight was going to deal with it, but he believed that he wouldn't fight a battle where he had no chance . Moonlight also seemed to want the best player title in his class, so he knew more about Deadly Golden Underwear than anyone else .
As Deadly Golden Underwear's health continued to drop, his passive effect finally began to show .
Lu Li's eyes still shifted as he saw this skill with his own eyes . He couldn't help but think about how he would deal with this if he was to replace Moonlight in this situation .

He could only draw the conclusion that he would die if he tried to fight this head on . He could only use his strong control skills to slowly wear out his opponent's health and escape when he retaliated .
This wasn't a very honorable play style and if it wasn't carefully executed, he could get easily get killed instead .
Moonlight didn't back off, but moved his feet and dashed behind Deadly Golden Underwear .
In a virtual game where they couldn't pass through each other's bodies, this move really challenged his techniques . Of course, there were skills that allowed players to do this, but for Moonlight, this was a move that he pulled out from his battle experience .
His next action was really an eye opener for everyone .
The handle of his axe spun opposite ways and landed behind Deadly Golden Underwear's head, successfully knocking out his opponent for a second . This seemed to be the special effect of his axe . Then, Moonlight began to show everyone how a Berserker could control their opponent .
Although Berserkers didn't have as many control skills as Thieves, they were enough to incapacitate someone for a while .
After Deadly Golden Underwear regained his movement, he began his counterattack only to discover that his opponent had jumped up . Not only did this cause him to miss his spell, but he now had to catch up to his opponent .
However, he was speechless when he discovered that Moonlight was running incredibly fast .
In fact, in order to deal with him specifically, Moonlight went ahead and borrowed Her Tear's boots . The boots gave him a 25% movement speed boost with a jump effect . The boots weren't useful for damage output, but they definitely gave a lot of mobility .
After Moonlight created some distance, he used his Flawless Arcanite Rifle from Lu Li and shot it at Deadly Golden Underwear .
Around 1-200 points of damage floated up above his head .
Was this really a Warrior?
Some Hunters probably wouldn't even be able to pull this off . They had no clue how good the snipe effect of the Flawless Arcanite Rifle was . It dealt a set 300 points of damage to the target, and even if a part of it was deducted by armor, there would still be around 200 points of damage left .
It was rare for current players in the game to have a weapon with this effect .
Of course, it would be unrealistic for a Warrior to try and kite another Warrior to death . Not to mention, the snipe effect had a cooldown .
Deadly Golden Underwear continued to chase Moonlight in an attempt to Lifesteal health through his attacks . At the same moment, Moonlight turned around for a counterattack .
His axe shone brightly as he casted his signature skill – Whirlwind .
Now, two options laid before Deadly Golden Underwear . He could either run, or fight head on with Moonlight in the Whirlwind . Time didn't allow him to think for too long, and he almost ran subconsciously, only to discover another awkward situation after he ran out of the Whirlwind range .
He had a lot of Lifesteal at this point, possibly more than Lu Li . If he was given the chance, he could probably steal half of his health back .
However, this required him to deal damage first!
Now that he had taken a few hits from Whirlwind, his health was so low that he would probably die to the slightest touch .
It seemed like Moonlight understood this too, so he charged towards Deadly Golden Underwear fearlessly . It was a competition to see whether Moonlight could attack faster than Deadly Golden Underwear could Lifesteal .
Obviously, Moonlight's attacks were faster . He wasn't short on burst skills and Deadly Golden Underwear never got the chance to properly use his passive before he died .
Deadly Golden Underwear might have been a little weaker than Moonlight, but the gap wasn't too large at all .
Moonlight had around 30% health remaining when the match ended, and on a stage like this, it was a complete victory .
