Chapter 109: The Eighth Round of the Finals
Team Moss and Team Mill’s performance in the Player Kill competition made the teachers and students of White Deer High proud.
To better display the chivalrous spirit on the field, White Deer High’s teachers also cheered and chanted. White Deer High’s viewing area was beautiful and lively. Every teacher and student wore matching red clothes, making them stand out from the rest of the crowd.
Each student had a drum, making the scene in White Deer High’s viewing area even more shocking. Five hundred drums sounded orderly and rhythmically, shaking the ground. The sound of the drums inspired Team Moss and Team Mill, who were fighting in the arena.
“Team Mill is starting to fight back!”
“Team Yonder forced Team Mill into a corner just now, but the drumbeats from White Deer High seem to have ignited Team Mill’s fighting spirit. Team Mill’s counterattack was super effective. Although one of their swordsmen is severely injured, Team Yonder’s mage is wounded too!” Edward was excited when he saw Team Mill fighting back with all their might.
“Team Mill is extra determined today, Mr. Edward. I’ve never seen them use this fighting style before!” Davis was shocked by what he saw, so he asked Edward for advice.
“That fighting style is indeed rare. Regardless of whether or not Team Mill wins or loses, their fighting spirit is commendable in today’s match! They have displayed their elegance well!”
“So, Mr. Edward, how would you comment on the performance of both teams in the first match?” Davis could not help but ask when he saw the exciting match in the other arena.
“In this situation, the other team has the advantage, but Team Moss and Team Mill are going through the same motions. They have shown a strong desire to fight and determination to win!”
“Moreover, Moss has repeatedly saved his teammates amid the intense battle, greatly increasing the confidence of the other team who is anxious to win the match.”
“Once again, Moss is showing us the spirit of chivalry. Not only has it affected many audience members but also his teammates. Team Moss is now more cohesive as a whole.”
Meanwhile, Moss was fighting with ease in the arena, while Mitchell’s team, The Invincibles, were getting impatient.
“Attack Moss with all your might, my comrades! We must get rid of him as soon as possible, or he will become more difficult to deal with later!” Mitchell shouted and gave his battle orders to his surrounding teammates.
Before Mitchell could finish, his teammates launched a barrage of attacks at Moss. However, Moss was not surprised. On the contrary, he was delighted.
If the other team attacked Moss with all their might, Moss would only need to protect himself. Moreover, he could also look for a suitable opportunity to attack while avoiding The Invincibles’ attacks. With Moss’s defensive ability, which was twenty times his strength and excellent physical ability, he was confident he could withstand his opponent’s attacks.
In addition, Moss could also control the distance between him and the other team so that his teammates would be out of range from the opponent’s attribute property equipment.
“Moore, Baylon, Kohler! The opponent’s attribute properties have disappeared again. Let’s seize this opportunity to build some defenses!”
“Moore, you need to continue harassing the opponent with your Arrow Rain to help Moss restrain the opponents!”
“Baylon, keep a distance and coordinate with Moss’s Frost Knight Holy Sword on the outer perimeter while Kohler protects us and reminds me of Moss’s location.”
Alan took charge since Moss was not around. After clarifying the battle plan, Alan immediately set up his paralyzing gas.
The facts proved that Mitchell’s tactical adjustment had failed, and he was helpless. As the competition progressed, Moss’s Power of Faith was indeed a terrifying existence when it came into play.
Moss’s terrifying combat strength left a deep impression in Mitchell’s heart during the individual Player Kill competition.
But he forgot that this was a team Player Kill competition after all. No matter how strong a person was, they couldn’t defeat a team alone, not to mention that they were an excellent team.
After trying to attack Moss’s teammates many times and failing, Mitchell had no choice but to change his tactics.
If the opponent attacked Moss’s teammates, his shield defenses would be extremely high, and he could also use it flexibly. Under the dual effects of the Power of Faith, Moss could unleash his greatest potential, which was protecting his teammates.
However, If the opponent only focused on Moss, he would be more at ease since he would not have to protect his teammates. This made Moss a terrifying force to fight.
When the match reached thirty points, Moss’s Power of Faith had already reached its peak. He was no longer affected by the opponent’s additional attribute properties, making Moss feel like a dragon returning to the skies.
When the time was up, Moss combined the defensive system and the paralyzing gas Alan had previously set up. After finding a suitable attack location, he immediately took the initiative to attack The Invincibles.
Silver arcs continuously streaked across Moss’s body as icy mist rapidly condensed the water element that Baylon had summoned in advance. The next moment, a pair of ice chains appeared on the hands and feet of The Invincibles.
Their mobility was limited, and their fighting strength rapidly decreased. During that time, it was meaningless to continue resisting. Mitchell took the initiative and admitted defeat.
It was prevalent for a battle to change instantly, but what had happened between Team Moss and The Invincibles shocked the audience.
“Wow! What a great battle!”
“I didn’t expect Team Moss to end the match that way!”
“Let’s congratulate Team Moss on claiming the last spot to advance to Zone A1’s top eight!”
The audience collected their thoughts and erupted in cheers and chants when they heard Edward’s impassioned voice congratulating Team Moss on advancing to the top eight.
At that moment, the drums and excited cheers from White Deer High’s viewing area became even more intense than when Team Mill won.
…
The afternoon matches were as exciting as ever, and the audience felt like they were on a roller coaster ride. A wave of chants followed by a wave of cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
The first match in the afternoon was between the Mighty Winds and Number Eleven High’s Team Scorch. Initially, the Mighty Winds thought it would be a match without suspense. In the end, Team Scorch defeated the Mighty Winds, who ranked fifth in the overalls.
The final match was between Team Dynamic from Number Twelve High and Team Yearning from Number Nine High. That match also concluded with an unexpected twist. Team Dynamic eliminated Team Yearning.
In the end, two teams from White Deer High, Team Style from Number Eight High, Number Five High’s Crimson Fires, Number Eleven High’s Team Scorch, Youth Forces from Number Three High, Number Two High’s Super Whirlwinds, and Team Dynamic from Number Twelve High had entered the top eight.
Just like that, the quarter-finals ended in an upset.
While the audience cheered, some of the schools’ directors and heads of the gambling rings cursed.
