Chapter 944
Because he had lost so much HP while fighting Lu Li, Twilight stood little chance against Moonlight . Ruling Sword eventually won the match .

In team matches like this, Lu Li was more concerned about the map that the fight was on .
Overly complex maps could be used to perform countless tricks, and also opened up the possibility of employing unknown tactics .
Lu Li wasn't a tactical expert; he was actually quite far from it . Moonlight wasn't either – he was just a PVP madman who enjoyed killing others . Fat Monkey, March Rain, Sakura Memories… none of these players had a particularly tactical mind .
Stellar Union was particularly renowned for their strong tactics . Glory Capital and the Mage Alliance had both lost to them before because of this .
After the map was revealed, everyone discovered that they were in a vast empty room with no light in it . This was a rare map and was appropriately nicknamed 'the dark room' .
"Do you want me to throw out a few fireballs to explore the terrain?" Fat Monkey asked .
This time, Ruling Sword had entered the match with Fat Monkey, Moonlight, Lu Li, Mu Qiu and March Rain . It was a double-healer composition, as Sakura Memories was feeling unwell . Kitty Likes Meat was waiting in reserve .
"Don't do it," Lu Li said, quickly stopping him . "Regardless of whether we see them with the Fireballs, we're more likely to expose ourselves . I will go ahead to explore; you guys be careful . "
Enhance Stealth made Lu Li very confident about his ability to remain undetected .
He had defeated three players from the opposing Stellar Union previously, and his Stealth wasn't broken once . When Twilight casted a skill to break his Stealth, that was purely because he had gotten lucky .

The Dark Room Arena was a test of initiative . Once an opponent's position was confirmed, players could often defeat them quickly with a single round of attacks .
In fact, there were a pair of glasses that could be created with Engineering that had bad Attributes, but a special effect that was very suitable for this situation as it increased night vision . Unfortunately, the Engineering level required for it was too high, so it would be useless even if Lu Li could obtain the Blueprints .
Nothing!
He turned around and carefully searched the area, but soon heard a fierce battle breaking out in the distance .
This was bad!
He quickly realized that they were in a crisis and that he had made a mistake .
Perhaps the initial rounds were too easy, or perhaps Lu Li secretly felt that Stellar Union had fallen from glory . Either way, he had subconsciously taken them as a guild to be hunted .
This told him that Stellar Union was in fact no toothless tiger .
Of course, this could have just been a coincidence .
After Lu Li left, Ruling Sword slowly wandered around, looking for their opponents, and accidentally ran into Stellar Union . The fighting immediately broke out .

Lu Li ran back as quickly as he could . With his invincibility skills refreshed, he was not afraid of ambushing his opponents .
There was a quite a bit of distance between them, so a few dozen seconds had passed by the time Lu Li arrived . He immediately ran towards Twilight, who revealed his own position because of his magical light .
"Withdraw!" Twilight shouted . He had long been wary of Lu Li's return . In addition to the Water Elemental, he had two Frost Nova skills which he used decisively to stop Lu Li's approach .
The Stellar Union players immediately left on command, leaving only three bodies on the ground .
Ruling Sword had lost Fat Monkey and March Rain, while the other side had lost their Thief, Beef Egg . This five-on-four confrontation had resulted in Ruling Sword's defeat .
This was the first time that the team had suffered such a huge defeat in this competition, and it fully exposed their lack of experience . The enemy had rushed in while Lu Li went out to search for their opponents . After he had left, Fat Monkey and the others chose to slowly walk in a random direction . Suddenly, there was chaos and they didn't have enough time to form a defensive formation . They also didn't have their commander with them to give out instructions .
Lu Li knew some things about strategy, but he wasn't a commander . This required talent and training .
Mu Qiu, Lu Li and Moonlight were the only players left .
On the other side, there was the Berserker Vincent, Mage Twilight, Priest Shining Stars and Hunter Purple Sea . They also had the Tire Killer on reserve .

"What should we do?" Shining Star asked . He was stunned and had just healed himself after almost being killed when both Moonlight and Fat Monkey attacked him .
"Sea, you and Vincent go and intercept their sixth member . Shining, follow me and we'll engage Lu Li together . Tire Killer, come out quickly . We are slightly closer to our spawn point and we need to use that advantage," Twilight instructed, developing a complete strategy almost instantly .
They couldn't let the other parties meet – otherwise, they might not win, even if it was a five-on-four .
In order to give Stellar Union a thorough victory, Twilight had decided to take an offensive strategy .
He simply positioned himself with his Priest to stall Lu Li, Mu Qiu and Moonlight . This way, they couldn't help their new Warlock teammate .
Their Hunter and Warrior would be able to defeat Kitty Likes Meat fairly easily .
Frankly, the remaining Ruling Sword players were probably reflecting on how they had underestimated their opponents . However, that wasn't going to be the end of their reflection .
All of them, including Lu Li, felt like they had to wait for their sixth player to join them . They were all going to rest before engaging in their second conflict . If Lu Li was Twilight, that's what he would have done . After all, this was the safest strategy .
Unfortunately, Lu Li didn't know Twilight very well .
Twilight was older, but that didn't mean that he preferred a safer strategy . He was deliberately going to attack at this time .
When Lu Li was attacked by Twilight, he was shocked, but even though his opponents had four players, he felt that Kitty Likes Meat would eventually reach them .
However, he quickly discovered that he was wrong again .
There weren't four players; there was only three – Twilight, Shining Stars, and the Tire Killer .
The Warrior and Hunter who were previously there had disappeared . Lu Li wasn't an idiot; he immediately knew where they had gone . However, there was nothing he could do, other than to warn Kitty Likes Meat to exercise caution .
Lu Li himself could get away; there was no doubt about that .
After leaving, he could probably even save Kitty Likes Meat, but leaving behind Moonlight and Mu Qiu to face three opponents would put them in an impossible situation .
Lu Li was also unable to kill their opponents quickly . The Tire Killer was a Defensive Paladin who specialized in taking as many hits as possible and Twilight had his Enhanced Magic Shield . Even the combined burst of him and Moonlight wouldn't be enough . After all, there was also a Priest on their side . The only thing that was easy about this matchup was killing their Priest .
