Chapter 4: A Silver Weapon? I have one too, Boss, you wouldn't not have one, right?
After a period of teasing, both sides entered the game interface.
The countdown was ticking, and two light barriers separated the two.
Ye Xiu manipulated his character, performing various combos, slowly adapting to the nuances of the Gunner.
The Gunner's output capability is unquestionable, being one of the strongest damage-dealing professions in glory. Its ultra-long range further enhances its output to the extreme.
Of course, from a balance perspective, the Gunner also has its own flaws.
As a long-range artillery character, its survivability is concerning; without displacement skills, once engaged in close combat, it will suffer devastating blows.
Even if the Gunner has the ability to knock back with heavy firearms, it still needs to hit the enemy.
It relies more on the accuracy of basic attacks and position adjustments, which heavily depends on a player's fundamental skills and proficiency.
In contrast, the Battle Mage chosen by Ling Chen is the opposite of the Gunner.
Powerful control abilities, high damage, and unstoppable combos.
As long as he gets close, Dou Fa (Battle Mage) can toy with the Gunner in the palm of his hand.
But Dou Fa (Battle Mage)'s biggest problem is that he only has one displacement skill, which doesn't cover much distance and causes a momentary stun after use, making him vulnerable to kiting in battles.
This isn't a problem for wild monsters, but for top players like Ye Xiu, half a second of stun is enough for him to unleash a barrage of cannon fire, dealing massive damage to Ling Chen.
The Gunner is not easy to fight.
Ling Chen also knew that the outcome of this PK depended on how he could get close.
Therefore, as soon as the light barrier dropped, he approached at an extremely fast speed.
And at the very back of the Arena, faintly, several cannonballs blasted towards Ling Chen.
Although they were basic normal attacks, thanks to the Gunner's high attack power, their damage was also quite considerable.
These few cannonballs, at a tricky angle, blocked Ling Chen's path forward; even if he wanted to dodge, he could only move backward.
To continue moving forward, he would need to use his weapon to block one of the cannonballs.
After a brief thought, Ling Chen drew a heavy long spear. The spear was entirely dark, interspersed with strange patterns, and its blade shimmered with a cold light.
It just looked rather simple, without too many flashy adornments.
The long spear swung, forcefully blocking one of the cannonballs, while the other two cannonballs heavily struck the ground, creating two deep pits.
However, Ling Chen's body also suddenly retreated.
Knockback.
The Gunner's passive ability applies a small knockback effect to hit enemies.
Ling Chen didn't care, swinging his long spear and continuing to run forward.
But then, the same normal attack came again.
Ling Chen's pace was again blocked.
After launching his normal attacks, Ye Xiu continuously adjusted his position, maintaining a safe distance from Ling Chen.
As long as Ling Chen made a mistake and failed to Parry, he would suffer a greater knockback.
During the knockback time, Ye Xiu would be able to deplete Ling Chen's health with a massive amount of cannon fire.
Seeing Ling Chen being continuously worn down by Ye Xiu, Chen Guo stood behind Ling Chen, a smile in her eyes as she said, "What's going on, Young Master Ling? How did we get kited? If this continues, the outcome won't look good, will it?"
"In this situation, aren't you going to bring out your Silver Weapon to turn the tide?"
Ling Chen's expression was normal as he said, "I originally thought your eyes might be a bit blurry, but I didn't expect your eye problem to be much more serious than I imagined. You must be blind."
"How about I recommend an ophthalmology hospital for you? After treating your eyes, you'll be able to see what I'm holding."
Chen Guo looked at the long spear in Ling Chen's hand with some doubt.
It was dark and ugly.
She said, "Your long spear, looking like a cross between a Goblin and a water monkey, could it be a Silver Weapon?"
"Look at the Silver Weapons in professional matches, how beautiful they are, gleaming with golden light, especially Ye Qiu's. That long spear is so cool!"
"Yours, just forget about it!"
"Boss, being blind is one thing, but I didn't expect your aesthetic sense to be problematic too! You can't even recognize a Silver Weapon right in front of you." Ling Chen sighed with regret and slowly said.
"This spear of mine is even stronger than Ye Qiu's spear, yet you can't tell. Your understanding of the game isn't enough. It seems having an Orange Weapon is already accumulating eight lifetimes of good fortune!"
"Ling Chen, are you trying to get your salary docked again!" When Ye Qiu was mentioned, Chen Guo couldn't help but clench her fists and say fiercely, "Your spear, even the scrap metal yard wouldn't take it. How can it compare to Ye Qiu's evil destroyer? You're just bragging!"
"In this day and age, is speaking the truth also a sin?" Ling Chen replied, "If so, then I am guilty."
Chen Guo was speechless: "You're full of it! Be serious, is this really a Silver Weapon?"
"No, just messing with you."
"That's more like it. So ugly, how could it be a Silver Weapon?"
"It was originally, but if you're going to dock my salary, then it's not anymore." Ling Chen grinned and said.
Chen Guo: "."
Seeing Chen Guo's face gradually redden, Ye Xiu said calmly from the side.
"This spear is indeed a Silver Weapon. And it's not weaker than evil destroyer."
At this moment, Ye Xiu was also somewhat surprised.
In their first exchange, he sensed something was off.
The distance Ling Chen retreated after blocking the attack did not reach the distance he had imagined.
Although there was also the reason that Zhu Yanxia's account equipment was not as good as a professional player's, Ling Chen's weapon was also extraordinary.
Moreover, in so many rounds of attacks, none of the attacks hit Ling Chen; they were either dodged or Parried by Ling Chen, without a single weakness exposed.
This showed that Ling Chen's basic skills were excellent, at least at a professional level, and it would be somewhat difficult to completely crush Long Chen.
However, winning against Ling Chen shouldn't be a big problem.
"Is it really a Silver Weapon?" Chen Guo also mumbled.
Although after seeing Ye Xiu admit it was a Silver Weapon, Chen Guo basically believed him.
But... looking at Long Chin's mischievous look...
Chen Guo couldn't bring herself to accept it and said bitterly, "So what if it's a Silver Weapon! He's still being suppressed by Ye Xeu. With this skill, no one would want him for a professional team."
"You don't even understand the fighting style of a Dou Fa (Battle Mage) matchup, and you still say you like Ye Qeu ?" Ling Chen smiled calmly. "That was just a test, we haven't truly engaged yet!"
"Watch closely now!"
With that, amidst the explosive smoke of a round of attacks, the long spear in Ling Chen's hand swirled, and a shield gradually appeared on his body.
Both defense and attack power were boosted in a short period!
Moreover, the knockback caused by this round of attacks was not as much as before.
Ling Chen, after deflecting two of Ye Xiu's normal attacks, only retreated half a step. In the smoke, his speed suddenly increased, closing the distance between them within Ye Xieu's attack interval.
In an instant, the distance between the two had closed to a range where skills could land!
Dragon Tooth!
The long spear thrust out, carrying astonishing energy, striking towards Ye Xiu!
Ye Xiu's expression changed in surprise!
"Not good!"
