What exactly is going on here?

Bai Qingxue on the spectator stand stared intently at Cao Chenghua, her mind constantly replaying the earlier sword strike.

No matter how she looked at it, Zhao Yueru should have blocked it, but somehow, the sword Cao Chenghua swung had struck a completely different spot.

It was almost like a demonic sword.

Zhao Yueru was also very puzzled, not understanding what had happened, but she didn't have time to think about it.

Cao Chenghua's attack directly dealt 1241 points of damage. Zhao Yueru, who already had low health, was instantly left with a sliver of health, only about 470 points remaining, unable to withstand Cao Chenghua's attacks any longer.

Mage classes have weak defense, weak strength, and mediocre agility. Once a Berserker gets close, it's a tragedy.

Zhao Yueru instinctively used Ring of Fire, an instant-cast spell. A scorching ring of fire spread out in all directions, capable of knocking back nearby enemies.

Cao Chenghua was fearless and swung his sword again.

With a boom, Cao Chenghua's Zhan Tie (Iron-Cutting) Greatsword shattered the ring of fire, but his body still recoiled a step, halting his attack.

Zhao Yueru seized the opportunity to retreat while casting Ice Arrows.

"Want to run? Die here!" Cao Chenghua roared, and ignoring the Ice Arrows, he swung horizontally at Zhao Yueru.

Zhao Yueru once again used her staff to defend.

This time, Zhao Yueru stared intently at the trajectory of the Zhan Tie Greatsword, focusing all her attention on it.

Just as the Zhan Tie Greatsword was about to land on Zhao Yueru, she waved her staff with both hands to block it.

However, Cao Chenghua revealed a hint of mockery and struck with force.

The strange scene occurred again…

Somehow, the Zhan Tie Greatsword vanished, striking Zhao Yueru's weak spot once more.

Before Zhao Yueru could even be shocked, she fell to the ground, her vision spinning and darkening.

"Zhao Yueru, you should understand now, only by following me will you have a bright future." Cao Chenghua looked down at the fallen Zhao Yueru and said condescendingly.

Zhao Yueru wanted to get up and retort, but her health had already reached zero…

The victor of the first match is Cao Chenghua!

Zhao Yueru not only lost a level, but also dropped a piece of equipment, and lost a significant amount of skill proficiency.

After being resurrected, Zhao Yueru walked up to Bai Qingxue with a dejected expression and said with great shame, "Qingxue, I'm sorry…"

Losing the first match undoubtedly increased the pressure for the remaining matches. They had to win three out of the next four matches.

"It's not your fault. Cao Chenghua was hiding too much. He not only learned the Limit Break skill, but also learned this strange new skill. It's not a shameful loss," Bai Qingxue comforted. "Leave the rest to me."

"Okay." Zhao Yueru nodded silently, tears faintly shimmering in the corners of her eyes.

Although Bai Qingxue comforted her, she couldn't forgive herself. What she couldn't accept the most was losing so inexplicably, not even knowing how she lost.

Shi Feng, who had been watching the match from afar, was also surprised by the battle between Cao Chenghua and Zhao Yueru.

When did Cao Chenghua become so strong?

Thinking about how confident Cao Chenghua and the others had been, he understood somewhat. No wonder Cao Chenghua and the others had such confident expressions.

"Brother Yefeng, do you know what skill Cao Chenghua is using? I've been watching for a long time, but I can't figure out the attack pattern of that sword strike. Cao Chenghua's attack speed isn't fast at all, but it always disappears and suddenly reappears. How can anyone defend against that?" Ziyan Liuyun couldn't forget the strange attack earlier.

If Cao Chenghua's skill was so strange, then the only way to fight him would be to kite him from a distance.

"You think that's a skill?" Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Could it be that it's not a Berserker skill?" Ziyan Liuyun asked in surprise.

Shi Feng shook his head and explained, "That's not a skill at all. It's a martial arts combat technique."

"Martial arts combat technique?" Ziyan Liuyun's mouth dropped open. If anyone else had said that, she would have suspected they were bragging, but since Shi Feng said it, it must be true.

"The technique Cao Chenghua is using is like playing rock-paper-scissors. He uses scissors when attacking, and Zhao Yueru sees that Cao Chenghua is going to use scissors, so she uses rock. However, when the result is determined, Cao Chenghua temporarily changes to paper. Naturally, Cao Chenghua wins, and Zhao Yueru can't figure out why Cao Chenghua used paper."

"The process is roughly like this. The principle is simple, but it's not easy to do."

"You must learn the Eye of Observation, using your eyes to look carefully. However, this kind of seeing is not our normal seeing, but seeing the whole picture, being able to objectively look at everything, not being fixated on the details, and using this to understand the enemy's actions. When Cao Chenghua attacks, Zhao Yueru's hand movements, body movements, and defensive positions are all in Cao Chenghua's eyes. So, when Zhao Yueru is about to make a defensive move, Cao Chenghua has already changed his attack trajectory, directly attacking Zhao Yueru's weak spot. By the time Zhao Yueru reacts, her body has already been hit."

"Of course, Cao Chenghua also used a technique when swinging his greatsword, a two-stage acceleration. When he swings his sword, he never uses his full strength. He only uses about forty percent of his strength. Only when he changes his attack trajectory will he use his full strength. This sudden acceleration will create a visual afterimage. The brain will mistakenly think that the sword is still moving along its previous trajectory. So, when you see Cao Chenghua swinging his sword, it will suddenly disappear. The sword you see is just an illusion in your mind."

"Zhao Yueru doesn't have any combat experience in this area, and she hasn't had any martial arts training. It's normal for her to lose."

Ziyan Liuyun immediately understood.

After hearing Shi Feng's explanation, Ziyan Liuyun suddenly felt like the clouds had parted and she had opened the door to a new world.

So, players can fight like this…

Just as Ziyan Liuyun was feeling emotional, a thought suddenly popped into her head.

Since Brother Yefeng explained it in such detail, does Brother Yefeng also know how to do it?

Thinking of this, Ziyan Liuyun felt a little excited.

While Shi Feng and Ziyan Liuyun were talking quietly, the battle list for the second match was also released.

Shi Feng's gaze immediately shifted to the electronic screen above the arena.

Second match: Bai Qingxue vs. Blackheart Arrow.

Bai Qingxue is a Berserker, while Blackheart Arrow is a Ranger. In terms of class, the Berserker has the advantage. Although Rangers have some close combat abilities, the Ranger's strength lies in ultra-long-range attacks, which are more suitable for wilderness and jungle combat. In this place with no cover and a small combat space, it is quite disadvantageous for the Ranger. Moreover, Bai Qingxue's skill is already above Blackheart Arrow's.

But what was surprising was that Blackheart Arrow still had a very calm look on his face, and even showed a disdainful expression, completely lacking the awe he used to have for Bai Qingxue.

Subsequently, the two combatants entered the arena, and the battle countdown began.

Start!

Blackheart Arrow activated Wind Chaser Stride immediately, turning around to create distance.

But Bai Qingxue's actions shocked everyone present.
