Chapter 1256: Signature Sword Tower

　　With only a head left above ground for Boundless Ocean to attack, Black Sky Yellow Earth was helpless and looked incredibly comical.

　　All he could do was to shout with his mouth.

　　Boundless Ocean calmly released a series of spells on Black Sky Yellow Earth’s head. Just like that, Black Sky Yellow Earth was directly turned into white light.

　　Kyushu Squad won yet another match.

　　The spectators chanted Kyushu Squad’s names excitedly as they held onto their banners.

　　On the other hand, the players and fans of Great Desolate Squad sat there in a sulky mood without saying anything.

　　To be honest, the players from Great Desolate Squad had always known the vast difference in strength between the two teams after so many years of competing against them. This was especially true for Black Sky Yellow Earth who had always treated Boundless Ocean as his imaginary equal. He was clearly well aware of Boundless Ocean’s true abilities.

　　This was also the reason why Black Sky Yellow Earth dared to initiate a challenge against Boundless Ocean. Who would have thought that Boundless Ocean’s strength was far beyond his imagination even in the new gaming model?

　　However, no matter how the model of a game changed, the innate character and quality of a person wouldn’t change.

　　Experts were experts because they were able to adapt to new environments quicker than the other ordinary players. They were quick to find a strategy to optimise their game in the most efficient manner.

　　As a game meaning to be the first of its kind, <<REBIRTH>>’s gaming model was completely different from the ordinary gaming model. Therefore, it required a quicker adaptation which was a key to differentiate the experts from ordinary players.

　　No matter how glorious one’s past was, being unable to adapt to the new gaming method would result in elimination.

　　Black Sky Yellow Earth was a peak grade expert, so, under the new gaming model, he was still above average in terms of adaptation. However, he was nothing more when facing a truly talented expert.

　　This was also the reason why Black Sky Yellow Earth was only qualified to sit on the bench back when he was at Kyushu Squad.

　　The Great Desolate Squad’s players were not the only one who grew wary after Boundless Ocean’s performance because even Wang Yu was impressed too.

　　In Wang Yu’s eyes, Boundless Ocean’s greatness did not lie solely in his ability. His undisturbed and composed attitude towards his opponent as well as his incomparable level of confidence was something not many people possessed.

　　The source of confidence usually leads back to actual strength.

　　As the strongest expert in the ring of professionals, an attitude like that was enough to make others fear him.

　　Wang Yu had met plenty of top experts in this game but there were less than five players in the game who could make Wang Yu feel the stress. Boundless Ocean was among them.

　　As the number one team in the country for so many years, Kyushu Squad was well-oiled in dealing with a team who had lost to them on so many occasions like the Great Desolate Squad.

　　Besides the first match where Signature Sword Tower made use of his advantage to defeat Sacred Mountain, the Great Desolate Squad lost the four other matches.

　　Kyushu Squad won the first round with a score of 4:1.

　　After being tidied up so pathetically, Black Sky Yellow Earth was slightly hysterical. On the other hand, the Kyushu Squad’s players were as calm as before as though this was expected.

　　This was the difference in realms.

　　After the break time ended, the second round began.

　　The second round of this tournament was usually the key determinant.

　　This was especially true for squads with extraordinary experts in their ranks. The second round could prove to a complete dominance or a miraculous comeback.

　　Fearless’ words were still the most accurate: Follow heaven’s will.

　　In the second round, Kyushu Squad had the chance to choose the map.

　　Boundless Ocean copied Black Sky Yellow Earth as he clicked ‘Give up’.

　　“OH!”

　　The spectators grew excited once more.

　　Kyushu Squad returned the favour of dissing their opponents by giving up on the choice of map.

　　It was no wonder they were the number one squad in the country. They were unwilling to lose out in terms of their grandeur too.

　　Of course, the second round was not much different from the first round because they were both solo fights. Additionally, the second round had one more unknown factor involved.

　　Boundless Ocean’s intention of doing so was not much different from Black Sky Yellow Earth except that he wanted to send another message to Black Sky Yellow Earth. ‘Kid, not reciprocating is against etiquette, and do you really think I cannot see through your petty tricks?”

　　Indeed, Boundless Ocean’s actions made Black Sky Yellow Earth realised that he was played once more. That was the moment he got so infuriated his face turned ashen.

　　However angry he got, Black Sky Yellow Earth still chose the map of the second round.

　　Because nobody knew which player was going up for the fight, the second map was the conventional wrestling ring.

　　After the random selection by the system, two white lights appeared on the two teams.

　　The first player chosen from the Great Desolate Squad was Signature Sword Tower while the player from Kyushu Squad was also another Warrior called Eight Desolate Six Directions.

　　Eight Desolate Six Directions was a new player recruited by Kyushu Squad. Looking at his name, this fella seemed more suited for the Great Desolate Squad.

　　Looking at the ID, many people even thought that the system made a mistake by choosing two players from Great Desolate Squad.

　　Following the flash of the white light, the two newly recruited players were transferred to the map.

　　There was no need to mention more about Signature Sword Tower’s abilities. He was an existence at the highest level even in groups of martial artists, let alone ordinary players.

　　Eight Desolate Six Directions was merely a newbie and had to face an expert who knocked Sacred Mountain out. It was inevitable that he felt somewhat nervous.

　　Once the countdown ended, Eight Desolate Six Directions leaned forward and charged forward without hesitation.

　　Even though [Charge] was a very good opening skill of a Warrior, it wasn’t hard to determine the direction of the skill. Moreover, there was a slight lag in the executing of the skill so a slightly experienced expert wouldn’t find it hard to dodge.

　　It was definitely not the wisest choice to do this against Signature Sword Tower.

　　Signature Sword Tower only needed one glance to determine the endpoint of his opponent’s [Charge] so he jumped backwards casually. He got out of the trajectory of the [Charge] easily.

　　Eight Desolate Six Directions missed his target.

　　Before Eight Desolate Six Directions’ [Charge] came to an end, he suddenly did a forward roll towards Signature Sword Tower’s feet. To follow that up, he held onto his sword with both hands and thrust it upwards, executing [Rising Dragon Slash].

　　It seemed like Eight Desolate Six Directions was not a simpleton since he was recruited by Kyushu Squad. The initial [Charge] was merely part of his ploy to execute his [Rising Dragon Slash].

　　Eight Desolate Six Directions’ sudden forward roll caught Signature Sword Tower off guard as he was struck by Eight Desolate Six Directions’ [Rising Dragon Slash].

　　While Signature Sword Tower was floating in the air, Eight Desolate Six Directions jumped backwards to execute the most commonly used [Tornado Slash].

　　A sword radiance appeared beneath Signature Sword Tower’s feet.

　　Just when everyone thought that Signature Sword Tower was going to be hit by the sword radiance, the mid-air Signature Sword Tower already adjusted his body. With both hands on the sword, he executed [Mountain and Earth Shattering Strike].
