Chapter 252

"Five arrows shot simultaneously; the skill this divine archer is releasing should be the A-rank skill 【Suffocating Arrow】!"

"Some viewers might wonder why this skill has such a name; the reason is simple: these five arrows can lock down all escape routes for the target! It makes one feel incredibly suffocated!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......

While Wang Kun was explaining, the fully drawn bowstring on the screen was suddenly released; the moment the elf girl's hair fluttered due to the air shattering, the five arrows transformed into phantoms and shot out!!

"【Suffocating Arrow】—no matter how you dodge, you will at least take two of the arrows!"

"With teammates in the tank position helping, one could easily take these arrows, but how will Zhou Yi, who has no teammates by his side, respond?"

"Xia Lan is a level 19 divine archer and possesses an elven bloodline; one 【Suffocating Arrow】 skill like this might even pierce through an ordinary professional!"

"..."

The match was so intense right from the start.

This made the audience in the gymnasium unable to help but feel nervous, their eyes wide open.

The speed of the arrows was extremely fast, like meteors, reaching Zhou Yi in the blink of an eye!!

At this moment, Zhou Yi's right hand moved!

Clang—

The domineering Blood-Crying Battle Axe, about two meters long and radiating golden light, was swung.

The wide axe blade struck directly against two of the arrows.

Bang!! Bang!!

Like 5. shattering delicate porcelain, the two arrows condensed from magic exploded instantly!!

Terrifying magic energy overflowed! The entire arena shook slightly as a result!

Ordinary professionals, when facing such explosive magic energy, would often choose to retreat directly!

However, Zhou Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to charge forward.

The violent magic energy around him exploded against his Li-Dragon Light Armor, as if it hadn't caused even the slightest bit of damage!

"An A-rank skill didn't cause any damage to Zhou Yi at all! What terrifying defense!"

"I saw it yesterday in the individual match when he took Li Xin's kick head-on; his defense is extremely strong!"

"As expected of a heavy-armor class, too powerful!"

"This defense is worthy of being called a humanoid demonic beast!"

"..."

Although the fire damage caused by the explosion could be blocked by the armor, the impact force generated after the explosion could act directly on the professional through the armor!

Yet, after the arrows exploded, Zhou Yi didn't even take a step back and continued to charge forward.

Such powerful defense naturally left the audience amazed! They called him a humanoid demonic beast!

"What! The defense is actually this strong??!"

In the Qingjing University team, the elf girl Xia Lan looked stunned.

She had guessed that Zhou Yi could take her skill.

But she didn't expect that the opponent would take it completely unscathed.

"This is an A-rank skill, and I've leveled it up to LV8..."

Her expression was incredibly complex.

A divine archer is an absolute damage-dealing position!!

She had used this skill to pierce through and defeat countless opponents, yet now, she couldn't even break Zhou Yi's defense.

"Is this the strength that Xiao Ran said, 'if you go all out, you might just be able to keep up with his pace'..."

Xia Lan muttered in a low voice.

Yesterday, she still felt that her best friend was exaggerating Zhou Yi's strength too much.

Now that she saw him on the arena, she realized that the facts seemed to be exactly as she said...

"Hmph! A Paladin acting as a damage dealer—only his defense is worth being proud of!"

"Wait until Lu Zhou finishes chanting his magic skill, and let's see how you block it!"

Li Yuan snorted coldly; as a melee warrior, he couldn't attack yet.

However, beside him, a boy in mage robes had his eyes slightly closed and was already chanting.

And on the magic core at the tip of his right-hand staff, a scorching and terrifying magic energy, like a small sun, was brewing and taking shape!

When Zhou Yi charged within 80 meters of the Qingjing University team, the boy suddenly opened his eyes:

"Extreme Fire Phoenix!!"

He raised his staff high, accompanied by a scorching aura.

In the sky above his head, countless crimson fire elements gathered, forming a fire phoenix that was six or seven meters long and five or six meters wide!!

The moment this phoenix appeared, the temperature on the entire arena rose by more than ten degrees!

"Chirp—"

This fire phoenix let out an incredibly high-pitched cry and then attacked Zhou Yi!

"As expected of a contestant from the top-tier Qingjing University; this Extreme Fire Phoenix is an A+ rank skill!"

"Released by a high-level mage, it can easily burn a city into a sea of fire!"

"Although this Qingjing University mage's level is still quite low, his mastery of the Extreme Fire Phoenix skill is very good; the high temperature formed by the fire phoenix has distorted the surrounding air!"

"Taking such a skill head-on is impossible; how will contestant Zhou Yi choose to respond?"

Wang Kun's words echoed throughout the gymnasium.

As a divine archer, Xia Lan's arrows were mainly focused on physical damage.

The final explosion of magic energy could only be considered icing on the cake, and the damage wasn't high.

But this Extreme Fire Phoenix was different; it was chanted by a mage.

And it was an A+ rank skill!

If hit head-on, he would likely be burned into a serious injury in an instant!!

"With a tank position, at least one could help shoulder some damage; Zhou Yi charging out alone is indeed too arrogant."

"Indeed, he is too arrogant."

"General A-rank magic skills have a locking function; this A+ rank Extreme Fire Phoenix definitely has a lock-on too! Zhou Yi can't escape!"

"Now, he can only rely on his speed to quickly retreat to the back of the team and fight through the entire team."

Charging out alone in front of over a hundred thousand live spectators and hundreds of millions of online viewers, only to sneakily return to the team.

Such an action is undoubtedly shameful.

But at this point, being shameful is better than being directly eliminated.

This was the thought of most of the audience.

However, at this very moment, the holographic projection in mid-air suddenly flashed with light.

Even the other 12 small screens were covered by bright light, making it impossible to see the images clearly.

"What happened?"

Everyone looked down quickly.

Then, they saw a shocking scene.

On the arena below, Zhou Yi, who was in the middle of a charge, finally stopped.

And behind him, a massive halo of light slowly condensed!

This halo was incredibly magnificent, carrying an incomparably holy aura!

Looking closely, this halo was actually condensed from countless white-gold flames!!

Faintly, one could even hear the sound of prayers like whispers.

This whispering prayer sound wasn't a real sound; it appeared directly in the heart of every viewer!!

Every viewer who saw this massive halo and heard this prayer sound felt as if their soul had been cleansed!

"What skill is this? I feel like I've heard the prayers of all living things!"

"I felt the aura of a god from it!"

"Is this a Paladin skill? Too terrifying..."
