<h4>Chapter 1215: Insta-Kill!</h4>
On this day, it was the second round of the professionalpetition.
Other than the fifteen teams that were eliminated yesterday, there were sixteen teams remaining including Team A Murder Of Crows that had a first round bye.
The audience cheered and cursed(everyone knew who the insults were aimed towards), as the teams once again took the tform.
It was the first time that the yers from Quan Zhen Sect were seated near professional yers.
After the first round, the yers that remained were all top tier experts. Everyone was in high spirits and eager to fight.
The yers from Quan Zhen Sect wereparatively more rxed.
As per the rules, the teams were randomly matched.
Just as the host was about to start the selection of the first teams up on stage, there was a sharp sound that came from one of the squads.
“I want to challenge!!”
“Challenge??”
Upon hearing this voice, everyone was taken aback.
For the professional league, there was a randomised selection format and also a right to challenge other teams.
The team could submit an official challenge to another team.
Of course, issuing a challenge disys a targeted vendetta. Since the gamingmunity was close-knit and yers were usually acquaintances, although they might fight fiercely when the situation calls for it, they still had good rtionships in their personal lives. There was no need to antagonise other yers.
The nature of the challenge meant that it was also issued to the weak by the strong. However, there was no honor in challenging a weaker team voluntarily so few people had used the challenge option in previouspetitions.
As everyone turned towards the voice, they saw Deathly Dark Moon pointing towards Fearless, “Dark Moon Squad wants to challenge Quan Zhen Sect!”
“F*ck you!”
“F*ck you!”
Sure enough, Dark Moon Squad had already won half the battle at this point in time.
The host recovered from his initial shock as he gestured for the camera to pan over to Wang Yu. He asked, “Does Squad Leader Iron Bull dare to ept his challenge?”
The host was quite cunning with his words, he used the words, “Do you dare?”. There was nothing on earth that Quan Zhen Sect was not capable of, what more when their challengers were the Dark Moon Squad.
Wang Yu did not even bother thinking things through and simply replied, “Bring it on!”
At this instance, the host announced, “Team A Murder Of Crows will fight Dark Moon Squad in the first battle. Battlemence.”
“Hua!!”
In the arena, the audience flew in a frenzy of excitement.
Team A Murder Of Crows consisted of a ragtag gang of chatans and lowlives yet they were challenged by a professional team. This unforeseen circumstance was shaping up to be an interesting development
“F*ck, this Dark Moon Squad is worse than a mob!”
“Indeed, indeed!”
The venue of thepetition was enclosed and the discussions and gossip of the audience about the Quan Zhen Sect bounced off the walls into the ears of the yers.
The yers from Quan Zhen Sect were filled with anxiety, “Are theyplimenting or are they scolding us?”
Fearless chuckled coldly, “There is no need to bother about their opinions. We are going to flex our muscles in thispetition. The whole lot of you better be ready and aware to take them down!”
“We know, we know!” The yers began to crack their knuckles along with warming up their muscles.
Since Dark Moon Squad were the challengers, they had first pick for the map.
For the first round, they had chosen a standard elevated stage.
For the first round, since Quan Zhen Sect had already set their minds on fully annihting Dark Moon Squad, they brought out their big guns.
As soon as the scene changed to the battle arena, Deathly Dark Moon and Wang Yu simultaneously made their way up onto the tform.
Since Deathly Dark Moon’s ss was a Warrior, he held the advantage in a small map.
Long-range sses had no distance to act as a buffer in a small map. Furthermore, there were no other melee sses that could rival a Warrior. A Pugilist and Assassin’s movement were highly restricted in this confined space.
Quan Zhen Sect’s first choice in sending up a Pugilist elicited cold snorts from Deathly Dark Moon.
Once the battle started, Deathly Dark Moon unsheathed his de and lowered his body’s centre of gravity. He leaned his head closer to his body as he charged towards Wang Yu.
ording to themon set of patterns, a Pugilist would have to retreat or move sideways to avoid a head-on collision. Deathly Dark Moon prepared to execute [Tornado sh] as his opening salvo.
“Tsk!”
As he saw the onrushing Deathly Dark Moon, Wang Yu chortled under his breath and did not choose to retreat. He rushed towards Deathly Dark Moon instead.
“???”
Deathly Dark Moon was greatly stunned at his opponent’s response and cancelled [Charge] and wanted to preemptively use [Tornado sh].
However, cancelling [Charge] midway would disrupt itsbo with [Tornado sh].
Deathly Dark Moon faced defeat in the face the moment Wang Yu exposed his weakness.
At the instant that Deathly Dark Moon chose to cancel [Charge], Wang Yu channeled [Inner Breath Roll]. His figure shed to the left side of Deathly Dark Moon. His feet wrapped around Deathly Dark Moon’s lower back and his two hands gripped down on the back of his head. With a single [Tornado sh], he sent his opponent sprawling on the ground.
Wang Yu proceed to use [Grappling] along with [Inner Breath Roll] and his level of battle perception rose to new heights.
“Boom!”
Deathly Dark Moon was already reeling from the initial blow but he was pinned down by Wang Yu’s [Grappling] before he could ever recover.
Although Wang Yu was a man who loved his wife deeply, he did not hold anything back when dealing with scum like Deathly Dark Moon.
Deathly Dark Moon was on the ground but shortly after, Wang Yu raised his foot and stomped on the back of his head with lightning shes.
“Boom!”
Deathly Dark Moon could not even process what had happened to him before Wang Yu smashed down hard on his skull. He dissipated into a streak of white light back to his squad.
Barely three seconds had passed since the moment the two started the fight.
<Umpire Notification: First round goes to Team A Murder Of Crows.>
The audience flew into an immediate uproar.
“What the f*ck even happened?”
“I am not sure... How did Deathly Dark Moon die?”
“That was way too fast, I didn’t manage to take it all in... What exactly happened?”
...
The spectating yers, especially those yers that were forewarned by Boundless Ocean, took in a breath of cold air.
