Chapter 177: Legendary Career: Divine Swordsman, Lin Moyu Is Done For

Seeing the skeleton mage controlled, the four archers all smiled.

There were four of them, taking turns using skills to ensure the skeleton mage couldn’t move.

The Battle King support quickly applied buffs. In just two seconds, a full set of buffs was applied.

With buffs versus without, the archers’ combat power differed by at least three times.

They had completely spread out, each maintaining a large distance, not giving Lin Moyu a chance for area attacks.

After controlling the skeleton mage, the archers began attacking Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu didn’t care at all. With Bone Armor, they could attack him until dark without hurting him.

He moved his finger slightly, and another skeleton mage appeared.

This time it was a fire-element skeleton mage.

“There’s more!”

The four archers were shocked simultaneously, showing a hint of panic.

As soon as the skeleton mage appeared, it immediately cast a skill.

Skill: Explosive Flames!

With a boom, an archer screamed as he was blasted away.

Fortunately he dodged quickly, only getting grazed.

The Battle King support immediately cast a healing skill.

Like with buffs, the Battle King’s healing skills also affected the whole team.

Light flashed on all four archers as the healing skill took effect.

The injured archer’s wounds quickly healed.

The skeleton mage stood in front of Lin Moyu, taking the opponents’ attacks head-on.

Though the skeleton mage’s constitution wasn’t as high as skeleton warriors, it was still much stronger than these sub-30 level youngsters.

This level of attack was just tickling to it.

The spectators outside were in an uproar.

Lin Moyu was now the focus of everyone’s attention.

Many people had come just to watch him.

“Wow, he has more than one skeleton.”

“The second skeleton is fire-element.”

“Could there be wind and lightning element skeletons too?”

“It’s hard to say, but there might be. If so, defeating Lin Moyu will be difficult.”

Bang!

Another Impact Arrow landed on the fire skeleton mage.

The fire skeleton mage was also stunned, temporarily motionless.

Though two skeleton mages had appeared, they were still within controllable range.

Taking turns controlling them, they could still spare hands to deal with Lin Moyu.

As long as…

Just as the thought arose, their pupils suddenly contracted, nearly spitting out blood.

Another skeleton mage appeared beside Lin Moyu.

A wind-element skeleton mage.

Skill: Tornado Storm!

A tornado howled towards the Battle King support.

“Dodge quickly!”

The archers shouted.

The Battle King support reacted quickly, swiftly dodging, only getting grazed by the tornado.

Even so, he still took heavy damage.

He quickly healed himself.

Bang!

The third Impact Arrow landed on the wind skeleton mage.

At the same time, a fourth skeleton mage appeared.

A lightning-element skeleton mage.

“There’s more!”

The four were nearly in despair.

How could there be so many skeletons?

Skill: Five Thunderbolts.

Lightning magic attacks were extremely fast, impossible to dodge.

A lightning bolt struck the Battle King from above.

The Battle King was instantly killed, appearing outside the arena.

He looked at Lin Moyu with lingering fear. If not for being on the arena, that strike would have killed him.

The last Impact Arrow also landed on the lightning skeleton mage.

Without the Battle King, the four archers were in a desperate situation.

Now their skills were on cooldown. The only way was to defeat Lin Moyu before the Impact Arrow effect wore off.

“Attack Lin Moyu with all your might!”

At this moment, two more lightning skeleton mages suddenly appeared in front of Lin Moyu.

“How are there still more?”

“How many skeletons can he summon?”

“How can he summon so many!”

“Not just many, but strong too!”

Boom! Boom!

Two lightning bolts fell, instantly killing two archers.

The remaining two archers were in despair.

There was no point in fighting anymore.

The two looked at each other and jumped off the arena simultaneously.

The battle was over.

From start to finish, Lin Moyu just stood there summoning skeletons, not moving a step.

This level of battle was too simple for him.

Many people watched this battle.

They could see Lin Moyu’s career was indeed very strong.

Easily completing a 1v5.

But the one-support-four-archer combination also caught people’s attention.

Currently the archers’ levels were still low, with few control skills, only Impact Arrow.

Later when their levels were higher, with many control skills appearing – sleep arrow, silence arrow, group stun arrow.

This combination had great potential.

But most people didn’t know that what Lin Moyu had shown so far was just the tip of the iceberg.

Some students in Summer Capital University knew, but they wouldn’t tell outsiders.

There were too many teams in the level 20 group. Today there would be four rounds of elimination matches to determine the top 8.

Two rounds in the morning, two in the afternoon.

With one hour intervals for career holders to rest.

“Wonder which team we’ll meet in the next round?” Duan Gao said softly.

Jiang Taotao shook her head lightly, “Don’t know. The empire said it’s all random, and they’ll ensure fairness.”

“But this randomness also has some patterns. Have you noticed that several strong teams haven’t met each other yet?”

The strong teams Jiang Taotao referred to were team 18 from Eagle Country, team X from Holy Battle Divine Domain, and team 924 from Holy Supervision Church.

These teams had shown overwhelming strength from the start, crushing their opponents with absolute advantage each time.

But these strong teams had never met each other.

Clearly this randomness also had some rules behind it.

Everyone knew this in their hearts, but no one would say anything.

The second round matchups came out quickly.

Seeing their opponent, Ning Yiyi couldn’t help laughing, “We met the arrogant guy.”

It was Tang Jianfei’s team from the preliminaries.

Tang Jianfei’s “I’m second only to heaven” attitude back then was unforgettable.

What kind of experiences could cultivate such a personality?

“So he’s a Divine Swordsman, a legendary career. No wonder he has the capital to be arrogant,” Lin Moyu also saw the opponent’s career and level.

[Tang Jianfei, Level 29, Divine Swordsman.]

Legendary careers were very rare and powerful.

Being a bit arrogant was normal.

Since his career transition, Lin Moyu had encountered very few legendary career holders – the Yin-Yang Master Tojo Taro from Cherry Blossom Country, Holy Light Knight Zhou Lesheng, Holy Summoner Mo Yun, and his own sister.

Tang Jianfei was the fifth.

Divine Swordsman was the advanced career of Holy Swordsman.

Feng Xiu was a Holy Swordsman. If he could achieve career ascension, he would become a Divine Swordsman.

“This should be a very strong career. If career ascension is achieved, it would be even stronger.”

Lin Moyu muttered to himself.

Ning Yiyi smiled, “Career ascension is too difficult. Even with the most thorough preparation, you can’t guarantee 100% success.”

“It’s something you can encounter but not seek.”

Lin Moyu understood. It was truly very rare for his sister to successfully achieve career ascension.

Even Lin Mohan had said she almost failed.

In the end it was also due to luck.

When the match time came, Lin Moyu slowly walked onto the arena.

This time Jiang Taotao and the others simply didn’t go up, just watching from below.

On the other side of the arena, Tang Jianfei also led his team members up.

The five people wore identical outfits, even their auras were very similar.

It seemed they often ran dungeons together, with very tacit coordination.

In Tang Jianfei’s team, he was the Divine Swordsman.

There was also a mage, an archer, and two supports.

Also no knight. Tang Jianfei was both the knight and main attacker.

Tang Jianfei frowned at Lin Moyu, “Just you alone?”

Lin Moyu nodded, “Just me.”

Tang Jianfei said softly to his teammates, “You all go down too.”

They jumped off the arena without hesitation.

This team match suddenly became a duel between Lin Moyu and Tang Jianfei.

This scene made Lin Moyu see Tang Jianfei in a new light.

Though he was arrogant beyond measure, it had to be said he had high aspirations.

High-minded and proud.

As a legendary career holder, he had his own pride.

Disdaining to use numbers to bully the few.

Tang Jianfei slowly drew his sword, pointing it at the ground, “I originally wanted to face you one-on-one in the individual matches. Didn’t expect it to be early.”

“I watched your previous two matches. I have to say, your skeletons are strong.”

“But… they’re useless against me!”

“Against me, you’re bound to lose.”

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, “You’re not bad.”

Lin Moyu’s tone sounded like an elder praising a junior.

Tang Jianfei was furious, “No need for you to judge me.”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “Just telling the truth.”

This legendary career holder Tang Jianfei encountering Lin Moyu attracted countless gazes.

Lin Moyu was very strong, but legendary career holders weren’t weak either.

What would be the result of their clash? There might be an exciting battle. Everyone was curious.

“It’s the Tang family from the Northwest. They’re a Divine Swordsman family, on par with the Feng family.”

“The Tang family bloodline is very strong. Almost every generation produces Divine Swordsman career holders.”

“I’ve seen information on Divine Swordsmen before. Even among legendary careers, Divine Swordsmen rank in the top few.”

“Divine Swordsmen aren’t scary. What’s scary is a Divine Swordsman who has mastered all the skills. Those skills… hehe.”

The match began. A skeleton mage instantly appeared beside Lin Moyu.

Two halos also instantly appeared on Tang Jianfei’s sword.

The halos rotated around the sword, emitting dazzling light.

“Two star rings. He really has mastered Divine Swordsman skills.”

“One star ring at level 10, two at level 20. Each star ring is a top-tier skill. It’s said that a level 90 Divine Swordsman who has mastered 9 star rings is invincible.”

“It’s starting! Let’s watch carefully with wide eyes.”

The skeleton mage Lin Moyu summoned was lightning-element.

Skill: Five Thunderbolts!

A lightning bolt struck down from above.

Tang Jianfei didn’t dodge. A star ring on his sword exploded.

The lightning landed on Tang Jianfei with no effect, like a stone dropped in the sea.

Tang Jianfei laughed loudly, “My first skill, Elemental Sword Body.”

“For 10 minutes, I can immune all elemental attacks.”

“So your skeleton mage’s attacks are useless against me. Hope you can last these 10 minutes.”

As he spoke, Tang Jianfei was already charging towards Lin Moyu.

His feet seemed to sprout wind, moving extremely fast.

As a legendary career holder, all his attributes were above ordinary career holders.

Even without buffs, he was still powerful.

Exclamations rose from the spectators.

Many people felt Lin Moyu was done for.
