Chapter 190 God Domain

The God Domain was vast, with many main cities. It also had some different settings from the ordinary servers. The official line was that it was to strengthen player interaction, but in reality, it was to increase competition and make the incidence of losing experience and equipment higher. Glory equipment could be bound by the player, so from a practical point of view, it was best not to bind it. That way, when you could replace the equipment, the old equipment could be sold as a fortune.

So it was a contradictory choice: choosing safety meant losing wealth. From the system's point of view, it actually encouraged players to bind equipment. Bound equipment had already lost its value to the market and could be regarded as having been recycled by the system. If the equipment remained in circulation, it would only depreciate as it was constantly produced.

Zhan Lou Lan eventually took Ye Xiu and the others to the main city of Zhan Ying, where his guild, Yi Zhan Tian Xia, was also based. In the God Domain, guilds could own a certain amount of territory, but this obviously required strength and wealth. Therefore, small-scale player guilds shouldn't even think about it. Club guilds had no pressure in this regard. Zhan Lou Lan and others relied on financial resources to accumulate strength, which was much easier than the development of ordinary players.

They entered the city and headed towards the arena. The basic facilities in these top-tier main cities were basically the same. They had everything they needed, but there might be some differences in the number of certain facilities. There only needed to be one arena per city, as it was basically a teleportation portal.

"Let's do practice matches. The equipment on my accounts is pretty bad," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?" Zhan Lou Lan was a little surprised. Wasn't this a god-level player? For a god to make such a request, his aura seemed a little weak!

"Anyway, equipment isn't important for measuring skill," Ye Xiu said.

"That's true," Zhan Lou Lan said. The level of equipment was relatively intuitive. You didn't need to look at the data to know. The skill level that Zhan Lou Lan had mentioned before obviously wasn't about looking at equipment, but about actual skill.

"What class should we fight first?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Of course, I'll start by learning from a Battle Mage," Zhan Lou Lan said with a smile.

"No problem." Ye Xiu smiled as well. Lord Grim quickly logged out, and after logging into the Battle Mage, he didn't run to Zhan Ying City. Instead, he found a place nearby and entered the arena. He reported his name on QQ, asked for the room number, and then slipped inside.

Zhan Lou Lan, Chen Guo, and Lin Shan Shui all ran over to watch. When they saw Ye Xiu's Battle Mage enter the arena, all the old hands were speechless.

Was this what he meant by bad equipment? This was practically a naked run! Everyone didn't even need to check the character's stats. They could tell just from the appearance.

"Sweat, he doesn't even have a weapon!" Ye Xiu muttered. Practice matches only adjusted stats. If you didn't have a weapon, you couldn't use your class skills.

"I have one here. Use it for now!" In the arena, his opponent was the Battle Mage from Zhan Lou Lan's group of five. He had mixed feelings about facing his idol. He happened to have an extra Battle Mage weapon, so he quickly threw it over.

Ye Xiu picked it up and looked. "Oh, it's a spear! This account is a staff mage..."

A staff mage was a branch of Battle Mage that used magic staffs instead of spears.

Magic staffs, as the name suggested, were weapons with high magic attack, and Battle Mages were a class that dealt both physical and magical damage. The staff mage was undoubtedly focused on magic attack, with flying chasers as their main means of attack, which was the most obvious feature of the staff mage. Also, the attack speed of the staff mage was very fast, because magic staffs were the fastest of the mage-type weapons, while spears were the slowest. Fast attacks could generate a large number of chasers faster. But now Ye Xiu's character was a staff mage, but he had to use a spear to fight. Not only was his magic attack weaker, but his attack speed was also greatly reduced. Attack speed was not a basic stat, and it was not adjusted in practice matches.

"Do you have a magic staff?" Zhan Lou Lan asked someone beside him. One of their five was an Elementalist. Elementalists usually chose staffs with the highest spell attack, but some people used magic wands first. Because magic wands were not only the fastest in attack speed, but also the fastest in casting speed.

"Mine's bound..." The Elementalist's name was Qian Fang Ge Hai. He had a magic wand, but it was bound and couldn't be traded.

"Forget it, a spear is fine." Ye Xiu said. At this moment, it seemed that Ye Xiu was finally showing the aura that Zhan Lou Lan thought a god should have but didn't have.

"Then let's start?" the Battle Mage on the other side said. This player, who Zhan Lou Lan and the others called Xiao Bei, had a Battle Mage character named Gui Qu Lai Xi.

"Start." Ye Xiu replied. Xiao Bei confirmed the match, and the two sides started fighting.

Five seconds passed, and neither side moved.

Xiao Bei was looking forward to admiring his idol's style, while Ye Xiu didn't know the other side's strength, so he wanted to take a look first. On the small arena map, the two could see each other face to face, but neither moved.

The spectators were all friends, and when they saw that the two were standing still, they immediately started booing. Messages like "Attack! Fight!" filled the screen.

"Yeah, fight!" Ye Xiu also said.

He had no conflict with Zhan Lou Lan's group, and now they were on the path of cooperation, so the match was not very intense. When Xiao Bei saw that neither of them was moving, he also found it funny. When he heard Ye Xiu speak, he immediately controlled his Gui Qu Lai Xi and charged forward.

"Oh, oh, not bad!" The two sides quickly engaged in a battle, spear against spear. Ye Xiu had already begun to comment.

"Will you be the main force of the team in the future?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Am I qualified?" Xiao Bei said.

"Depends on what kind of team," Ye Xiu said.

"A championship team!" Xiao Bei said.

"It's good to have ideals," Ye Xiu praised, but the implication was obvious: it was an ideal, not reality.

"Then I'm not holding back!" Xiao Bei shouted.

"Oh? You're still holding back?" Ye Xiu said.

Two minutes later, Gui Qu Lai Xi was on the ground.

"Where was I holding back?" Ye Xiu asked, puzzled.

"That's cheating!" Xiao Bei wailed, his corpse sending out a text bubble. Because it was an ordinary arena in an online game, the settings were completely up to the players. Unlike the professional league, corpses were locked and could not send out text bubbles.

"Isn't he a staff mage? Why is he using a spear mage style?" Xiao Bei said, depressed.

"That's too rigid. Who says you can only use one style?" Ye Xiu said.

That was what he said, but Ye Xiu's playstyle in this match was completely spear mage. The difference between spear mage and staff mage was that spear mage focused on physical attack skills. However, the points allocated for the two playstyles were different. If they used each other's playstyles, the damage would be relatively low. But even in this case, Ye Xiu still easily defeated Xiao Bei's Gui Qu Lai Xi.

And it looked like he had won quite easily. Zhan Lou Lan and the others exchanged glances. They had a certain amount of confidence in their own strength. To be defeated so easily by this person, Ye Qiu's identity seemed to be genuine. At the same time, if the gap between their strength and that of top-level gods was so large, then the talk about a championship team was indeed too much.

"Who's next? What class do you want to fight?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Let's all learn from your main class first!" The next one to jump out was the Elementalist, Qian Fang Ge Hai.

"Qian Fang, go!" The defeated Xiao Bei shouted.

"Really?" Qian Fang Ge Hai laughed. They knew that Xiao Bei admired Ye Qiu very much. Now that his identity was becoming more and more reliable, this guy was actually cheering for him?

"Seriously," Xiao Bei said. "But you'll still lose. It's useless even if a million people cheer for you."

"Screw you!" Qian Fang Ge Hai laughed and cursed. However, he really didn't have confidence, because no one knew Xiao Bei's level better than his teammates. Regardless of whether the other party was Ye Qiu or not, he was very strong. That was certain.

Qian Fang Ge Hai was careful. After the start, he kept his distance and didn't plan to go forward. As a result, Ye Xiu's Battle Mage stretched out his hand, waved his spear, and shot a fire bomb, an Elementalist skill, over.

Qian Fang Ge Hai quickly rolled to dodge. "What are you doing? Are you going to use an Elementalist's playstyle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "pop" as he rolled to his feet. For an Elementalist, that sound was very familiar. It was the sound of being hit by a Frost Snowball.

So unlucky... Qian Fang Ge Hai thought to himself, thinking that it would have been better to roll to the left. But when he glanced to the left, he saw that a shadow of dark night had just flashed past.

So fast! Qian Fang Ge Hai was shocked, realizing that the other party had cast three spells in an instant. These low-level spells were cast very quickly. The other party had guessed that he would dodge left and right to counterattack, so he had cast a spell in both the places where he might land. Qian Fang Ge Hai rolled to the right and was hit by the Frost Snowball. If he had rolled to the left, he would have been hit by the Shadow of Dark Night.

"Staff mages learn a lot of elemental and magical skills, don't you know?" As Ye Xiu said this, his character's sleeve fluttered, and a purple shadow flashed out, wrapping around Qian Fang Ge Hai and pulling him in front of him.

As expected, it was a Warlock skill, Dark Night Cloak.

Immediately afterwards, he finally used a Battle Mage's Sky Strike, and Qian Fang Ge Hai was launched into the air. A magic chaser hit him and exploded. The exploding magic wave sent Qian Fang Ge Hai towards the ground, but just then, Qian Fang Ge Hai suddenly flew into the air again.

How could that be!

Qian Fang Ge Hai was shocked. Sky Strike couldn't have cooled down so quickly.

But when he looked at the elemental fluctuations above his head, he suddenly realized. This time, what had launched him into the air was not the Battle Mage's Sky Strike, but their Elementalist's floating skill: Elemental Power.

"The points allocated to this account are quite interesting!" Ye Xiu muttered, and continued to attack. Qian Fang Ge Hai had not expected that, after preparing to treat him cautiously, he had only rolled once and had never touched the ground again, until the moment he crashed to the ground.
