With a crack, the green spear in Wu Que Nan's hands snapped in two. The crystal from the tail end entered the shaft, and the spearhead’s outer casing slowly unfurled like claws, then clicked onto the shaft. With a pull, Wu Que Nan swapped the spearhead for the crystal tail. In his left hand appeared a silver longsword, and in his right, a green short spear.
Wielding a sword in his left and a spear in his right, two different weapons appeared in one player's hands. The silver longsword, four feet in length, radiated a sharp, cold gleam. Its blade seemed to be composed of countless iron threads, which, upon closer inspection, were the very components of the former green spearhead. The short spear, meanwhile, had its length reduced by two-thirds, its crystal tip exuding a terrifying power, with currents of energy flowing from the tip into the spear shaft.
Holding the sword in his left and the spear in his right, Wu Que Nan’s eyes snapped open. With a burst of terrifying speed, his figure transformed into a streak of light, comparable to Chen Tian’s speed when in Dragon Form. The hidden profession’s might was revealed. Wu Que Nan's hidden profession allowed him to wield two different types of weapons while retaining the abilities of a dual-wielding spear class. With dual focus, Wu Que Nan had no concerns about the two weapons hindering each other. Having experience as a dual-wielding spear user, Wu Que Nan naturally handled them with ease. The longsword in his left hand swung out, while the short spear in his right thrust forward.
He instantly appeared before Huo Tian, who was stunned. Such speed—he couldn’t even track his opponent's figure. By the time he reacted, Wu Que Nan was already before him, his attack imminent. However, his Flame Rhinoceros Armor was not merely for show. It took the brunt of the attack, pushing Huo Tian back and reducing his health by a significant 10%. Huo Tian stared in shock at Wu Que Nan's longsword, which possessed the "Armor Break II" ability. No wonder he was losing health.
But Huo Tian had no intention of surrendering. He hadn't even used his full power yet. Clenching his hands, terrifying flaming dual sabers appeared, and he was engulfed in crimson flames, his aura surging upwards, the fearsome fire piercing the sky. Skill: Flame Fury! This skill increased Huo Tian's all-around stats by 15%. As Huo Tian's stats soared, Wu Que Nan sensed danger. He instantly stepped forward, his short spear and longsword moving in tandem, launching an attack.
But it was too late. Huo Tian’s skill was complete. He unleashed a barrage of slashes with his dual sabers, sending fearsome flaming blade energy towards Wu Que Nan. The immense power and searing heat made Wu Que Nan dare not meet the attack head-on. He spun himself, forming a whirling vortex with his short spear and longsword, using his body as the center. He charged directly into the incoming flaming blade energy.
With a bang, an explosion erupted. Wu Que Nan was sent flying backward, his health dropping by another 5%. Fortunately, he had used a defensive move during the explosion, or the residual blast would have dealt far more damage. As an adventurer and a commoner, Wu Que Nan was severely lacking in armor. Being quite poor, he wore no armor, meaning any damage taken directly reduced his health. Wu Que Nan looked at Huo Tian, whose stats had risen to nearly that of an eighty-level boss. Yet, Wu Que Nan harbored no thought of surrender, his fighting spirit burning brightly!
He then joined his spear and sword together, connecting them to form a weapon with the spearhead on the left and the sword tip on the right, with the hilt in the middle. Wu Que Nan calmly stated, "One move, winner takes all!"
"Alright! I respect you as a man!" Huo Tian agreed, acknowledging that very few players could push him to this extent, especially while in his berserk state. He was rarely challenged by players of only level fifty. He found it hard to believe he was almost killed by a level fifty player. Terrifying crimson flames erupted from his body, swirling around him like a massive tornado, which then converged in his hands. The dual sabers in his hands blazed with formidable light. Meanwhile, Wu Que Nan also swung his sabers, but above his head. Silver and green lasers slowly shot out from both sides, and with a gentle opening of his palms, a cyan-silver light wheel appeared. He then leaped onto the light wheel.
The fearsome light wheel shot forward, and Wu Que Nan’s figure merged with it. At this moment, Wu Que Nan’s form seemed to be the weapon itself, and the weapon was Wu Que Nan's body. His body was now spinning forward. On the other side, seeing Wu Que Nan's ultimate move, Huo Tian’s eyes widened. He brought his palms together, palms facing, and crackling crimson electricity appeared, his immense grip seemingly manifesting this current. His hands then expanded, and a terrifying crimson barrier materialized before him. He then formed his hands into blades and slashed outward. The crimson barrier instantly transformed into a colossal red blade energy that shot forth.
The cyan-silver light wheel, cutting through heaven and earth, slicing all things, severing the void!
The scarlet blade energy, sharp and impenetrable, crushing all things!
Skill: Spear-Sword Silver Wheel!
Skill: Flame Annihilation Blade!
Both unleashed their most powerful self-created skills. The light wheel and blade energy collided, and a massive explosion resounded. Wu Que Nan was sent reeling backward, landing on the stage. He plunged his spear into the ground to steady himself, having barely avoided falling off the platform. Wu Que Nan's heels were at the very edge of the stage; one more step back and he would have lost the match. Looking at Huo Tian, Wu Que Nan respectfully said, "I lost. I concede. Next time, I will definitely defeat you! Wait for me!"
"Good! I await your challenge anytime!" Huo Tian replied, satisfied. He greatly admired Wu Que Nan's character. With Wu Que Nan's concession, the score was now one to one, with the final match determining the victor! As Wu Que Nan withdrew, the two returned to their respective teams.
Chen Tian was contemplating whether to step in when Ge Zi slowly walked out. "Chen Tian, I'll fight this time! You helped me before, and I'll definitely help you win this one!"
"Yeah! Chen Tian, let Ge Zi go up! Ge Zi's strength is above both mine and Wu Que Nan's. He's played games longer than us, though he often bails on us, his skills are formidable," Shu Zi said teasingly. Ye Ge’s face darkened. At a time like this, must they bring up his past blunders? Was it something to be proud of? Chen Tian checked Ye Ge's stats and was surprised. He then said, "Ge Zi, you go. But winning or losing doesn't matter. If you lose, I can't do anything, and if you win, it's the same. The outcome is already fixed!"
"Alright!" Ye Ge instantly spread white, radiant, transparent wings from his back and flew towards the stage. Upon reaching the stage, Ye Ge declared, "Level seventy-three, Ye Ge, Holy Shield Knight, challenges you all. Who will come to die!" His language was even more arrogant and domineering than Wu Que Nan's. The third and final general from the opposing side stepped forward and entered the stage. It was a player named Huo Mie, level seventy-eight. Ye Ge was level seventy-three, a three-level difference, translating to hundreds of points in stats. Ge Zi produced his shield, which, with a snap, split from his greatsword, transforming into dual shield blades in his hands. Huo Mie saw the opponent's stats and exclaimed, "Good heavens, another hidden profession! Where did the Water Spirit race find these helpers? Are they all hidden professions? First, it was the Technician's War Machine, then the Spear-Sword Fighter, and this third match is a Shield class player with offensive capabilities."
