Everyone near the main entrance of the venue heard Chen Luo’s instructions and found nothing strange about it. As a strong individual, it was perfectly normal to conserve energy before a major battle.
With their leader protecting them, they were sure to survive tonight’s crisis!
Bolstered by this confidence, they gathered around the venue’s main entrance and reinforced their defenses with new fortifications.
The strong men from the combat teams also donned the armor and weapons temporarily provided by the logistics team.
The so-called armor was merely thicker clothing, with crude reinforcements of wooden planks or iron strips added to vital areas.
Such clothing would even affect the agility of ordinary people, but for the warrior players whose physiques had been enhanced, there were no such side effects.
As for weapons, they were even more awkward. Straight iron rods, lightly polished, were placed in the hands of the warrior players.
These burly men, gripping iron rods as thick as small water pipes, looked rather out of place.
However, this was merely an exhibition venue, and it was already quite good to procure iron rods from the warehouse. One couldn't ask for too much.
What’s more, these strong men, wielding the iron rods, even received buffs from "Basic Swordsmanship." It had to be said that the system’s skills were truly not picky.
A moment later, three hundred such warriors, bizarrely and crudely attired, stood uniformly before the fortifications, glaring fiercely at the wolf pack that was drawing ever closer in the darkness.
A weak soldier makes a weak army, and a weak general makes a weak army.
Chen Luo, as the direct leader of the combat team, despite being a mage, always stood at the forefront during every battle. This earned him the heartfelt recognition of all his combat team members.
Since their leader had already demonstrated his strength, those who had benefited from his favor had no reason to back down at a critical moment!
...
While everyone at the entrance was preparing fervently, Chen Luo, who had walked into the venue alone, began to contemplate his own shortcomings:
"I have two major problems now: one is insufficient mana, and the other is the inability to cast spells simultaneously."
"The first problem shouldn't be too difficult. My mana is actually tens of times that of others at the same level, and my recovery speed is also extremely fast."
"If it were the initial F-grade fireball, I could cast two hundred of them consecutively at full power, with each fireball dealing 1000 damage."
"But now, after firing only fifty fireballs, my mana is completely depleted. Although each fireball, due to its high damage, could kill multiple night wolves even with splash damage, the efficiency has actually decreased."
Thinking this, Chen Luo extended his right hand as if to grasp something.
In the void, a spell formation was instantly completed. This was the trajectory of the C-grade fireball spell. As long as Chen Luo infused it with mana, a terrifyingly powerful fireball could appear in this world.
However, Chen Luo frowned.
This formation was too complex. Although due to "Divine Chant," he could instantly complete the sketching of the spell trajectory and the infusion of spell energy, it was still too wasteful.
With this thought, Chen Luo waved his hand casually. The spell trajectory inscribed in the void twisted, seemingly about to transform into a new form.
Chen Luo concentrated his mental energy, continuously attempting to deconstruct the spell trajectory before him and guide it towards a more simplified state.
Spell trajectories were finished knowledge infused by the system. Chen Luo simply knew how to sketch such a trajectory with mental energy and then infuse it with mana to form the fireball spell skill.
But Chen Luo had no idea why this trajectory possessed such power.
Therefore, Chen Luo was not so arrogant as to want to arbitrarily alter this complex structure. What he truly wanted was to revert it!
His extremely high mental power brought about a terrifying memory capacity that was almost unforgettable. Chen Luo remembered every spell formation clearly as the fireball spell advanced from F-grade to C-grade.
What Chen Luo was doing now was to voluntarily abandon the C-grade fireball spell and actively use a lower-grade state.
This was almost impossible in virtual online games. For example, in the currently popular game "OP," if a six-star fire-element character were to unlock their ultimate, they would directly be downgraded to four stars, with no chance of regret.
But this was reality! Chen Luo had mastered true extraordinary power!
What he was doing now was to actively distort the system's rules and artificially use a lower-grade state of the skill!
[Detected player attempting to use a lower-grade state of the fireball spell, warning!!]
As expected, when Chen Luo completely distorted the C-grade fireball spell trajectory and attempted to construct the F-grade spell trajectory, the system’s prompt appeared.
[Distorting skill states may lead to skill level regression! Skill casting failure!! Permanent player attribute reduction, and other adverse or unknown effects.]
In the void, a dangerous aura was continuously accumulating. Although the F-grade spell structure was very simple, Chen Luo could not sketch it completely, as if some force was trying to stop him.
"Are you trying to stop me? Doomsday Game!"
The skills were the power granted by the Doomsday Game. For him to make changes was, in a sense, a violation of its rules.
Chen Luo’s eyes were filled with unyielding determination. He had a feeling that if he yielded now, he would forever be a toy of this game.
"So, whether it's those night wolves or you, the Doomsday Game, what do you consider us humans?!"
Chen Luo’s angry question received no response.
The system’s warning prompt had turned a glaring scarlet before Chen Luo’s eyes.
In the void, the subtly emerging sense of threat became increasingly profound as the spell trajectory continued to perfect itself.
However, Chen Luo had no intention of stopping. He gradually altered the spell trajectory for the fireball skill, making it increasingly closer to the F-grade state in his memory.
Unbeknownst to Chen Luo, the talents and skills on his status panel began to flicker strangely.
These powers mastered by Chen Luo were closely related to Chen Luo himself. The moment Chen Luo resisted the system's rules, they, as a part of Chen Luo, also began to resist.
The most luminous among them was the racial endowment-level "Unlimited Firepower."
However, within his skills, there was a light that was no less brilliant than "Unlimited Firepower."
In the void, the sketching of the spell trajectory had reached its final step, and the suppressed dangerous aura had also reached the verge of eruption.
It was as if once Chen Luo finished sketching, this simple spell trajectory would cause a terrifying explosion.
But Chen Luo, facing this terrifying pressure, did not hesitate at all. His spirit firmly completed the final stroke!
And on the system panel, the various information representing Chen Luo's power flickered to their extreme!
[Warning!!!! Warning!!!!!]
