Chapter 1778: Chapter 1778 - Target
Since both sides were fired up, everyone else was overjoyed .
The opening battle for the Finals was the hottest and most-anticipated clash of the whole season of the Shadow Cup . The organisers decided to add last-minute additional tickets, but these instantly sold out as well .
The entry tickets were one gold a piece . Selling 10 million tickets meant 10 million gold .
Hundreds of millions of dollars had just entered the organiser’s pockets, just like that . It was true that people with the financial capabilities were able to earn money more easily . Not even Lu Li, when he was reborn, would be able to earn 100 million gold .
This wasn’t the first battle between Lu Li and Sorrowless . In their previous battles, it was mostly Lu Li who had the advantage .
In the beginning, it was because Lu Li was a higher level than Sorrowless . Sorrowless had also planned to retire . Then Lu Li, with the advantages of being reborn, was able to surpass Sorrowless each time they clashed .
However, this advantage was becoming weaker and weaker . At this point in time, it was already non-existent .
He truly did not know whether or not he would be able to defeat Sorrowless . After all, Sorrowless had used powerful methods to defeat a top-level Thief in Water Fairy . ”
They did not immediately start battling after entering the arena .
Lu Li was a little confused . He didn’t think that there was anything to talk about . Glory Capital wanted to maintain their position at the top, which meant that they needed to crush Ruling Sword’s ascension . However, Lu Li wanted to place Ruling Sword at the top, which meant that they needed to defeat Sorrowless’ Glory Capital .
There were no personal grudges between the two of them . However, because of their clubs, they had already become each other’s worst enemies .
“Is Darkness well?” Sorrowless asked .
“Darkness? Lu Li suddenly realised that there was someone who had a close relationship with Sorrowless on his side . Although they were both in the Instance Dungeon team, there weren’t many interactions between them . After all, all of his attention was on clearing Instance Dungeons and Water Fairy . Furthermore, it would be suicide to talk to another pretty girl while already having a girlfriend .
However, he replied with a genuine tone, saying, “Darkness seems to be going pretty well . She seems quite happy . ”
If Darkness was happy, then Sorrowless wasn’t happy . He had too much pride to have the mindset of ‘as long as you are happy, then I am happy . ’ He felt that Darkness’ happiness could only be made true if it was with him .
“Be honest with me . What price do I need to pay for you to return Darkness to me?”
“Big Bro,” Lu Li said, nearly laughing out loud, “What do you mean by that? I can’t control what Darkness wants . If she wants to return to you, then what reason would I have to prevent that? The most I could do is force her to pay a fee for a contract termination . Then again, money doesn’t mean much to you . If she doesn’t want to return to you, then she would only end up leaving us and joining another club, like Blood Red War Flag . All in all, if she doesn’t want to return to you, then she won’t . ”
A flash of sadness appeared on Sorrowless’ face .
“There’s no bad blood between me and her . If you can just arrange for a time for us to meet and talk, then we will let you win this Shadow Cup . ”

“Haha! Sorrowless, Sorrowless . You’re thinking too highly of yourself, aren’t you? Unless, love has really made you stupid . We don’t need you to let us win! We’ll be able to take this championship with our own hands . ”
“I apologise if my words have made you uncomfortable,” Sorrowless apologized . He needed to endure this, and continued to say calmly, “You also have someone you love, so you understand how I feel, right?”
“No, I don’t . The person I love was bullied by you on the arena . The fact that I didn’t jump in was already good enough, so wanting me to help you?”
Lu Li was speechless at Sorrowless’ logic . In everyone’s eyes, they thought that Sorrowless was flawless, like a god . In the end, he was an ordinary person after all .
The audience couldn’t hear what they were saying on stage .
This was because the fighters could choose to broadcast their words or not . They could just use the arena as a chatroom and no one would know .
Everyone was curious about what Sorrowless and Lu Li were talking about . After all, these were two people from opposing clubs . One was from Ruling Sword, and the other from Glory Capital . Therefore, whatever they had to discuss must have been something important .
Many people in the audience were hollering for the organisers to release the audio .
There were also people asking others to lip read as well .

This was a game, so there were no holes for people to exploit .
Lu Li and Sorrowless’ discussion came to an end . Lu Li did not accept Sorrowless’ proposal and aimed to take the championship through their own strength . On the other hand, Sorrowless also wanted to use his own strength to utterly defeat Ruling Sword as well .
Sorrowless had many tricks up his sleeves, but he had already used many of them . As such, Lu Li’s items all countered Sorrowless’ items . He didn’t have many exquisite items, but they all had their uses .
Sorrowless felt a little regretful . His set of items was focused on crowd-control and could be used to counter Thieves . In terms of DPS, it was fairly average . If everything went smoothly, then he would definitely be able to press Lu Li hard, but unfortunately, Lu Li had already prepared for that .
Lu Li’s current set of items were gathered from the storages of all three clubs and mainly focused on continuous DPS and escape .
His strategy was simple – he would charge in, deal damage to Sorrowless, then immediately run . It was almost shameless . He planned to shave off Sorrowless’ HP bit by bit .
Of course, Lu Li couldn’t escape without being damaged at all, so his HP was dropping slowly as well .
At the 13-minute mark of the battle, Lu Li finally managed to defeat Sorrowless using his shameless strategy, but he didn’t have much HP left himself .
Lu Li’s victory was quite surprising, as his DPS wasn’t high . In fact, it was almost pitiful . Any random set of offensive Thief items would result in more DPS than during this battle . He also didn’t have high armor either . If Sorrowless could have caught him even once and properly damaged him, then he would have died .

The key was to dispel crowd-control and continuously attack . It was an extremely specific set of skills .
Everyone watching was sorely disappointed . They were all booing at Lu Li, but booing could not change the result .
Lu Li used this battle to prove his shamelessness, or rather his strength!
Sorrowless had been defeated!
Why had the all-powerful Sorrowless been defeated by a newbie who had only been in the circle for less than two years?
