Start!
The light screen disappears!
In an instant, two beams of fire thundered over at breakneck speed.
Two mages on the opposite side!
And the ever‑clever one timed it to grab the first strike.
After all, anyone confident enough to enter the open qualifiers is no ordinary player.
But…
Screech!
A phoenix cry!
A massive Fire Phoenix surged skyward!
Li Wenwan acted!
The Fire Phoenix met those two flames, and the flames were instantly devoured by the Fire Phoenix.
Magic clash!
Fire magic—clearly Li Wenwan won outright.
The Fire Phoenix, undiminished, charged toward the enemy formation.
Damn!
Clearly, the opponent also caught on; something was wrong.
But…
Su Sheng had already rushed out.
Shield Rush!
The enemy formation…
Very interesting!
Three defensive knights!
Protecting the two Arcane Mages at the center.
Iron Barrel Cannon? Not even a Priest!
But you, you iron barrel!
Hard enough?
Swish~
In Mounted Combat, you already get a speed bonus.
Moreover, Shield Rush itself is a charge skill, so Su Sheng almost turned into a red streak of light rushing toward the enemy's iron barrel formation.
Mudhorse!
Mo Wen Qianchen!
I must buy a lottery ticket after today's game!
So many people, why did we run into Mo Wen Qianchen!
The moment that team saw Su Sheng, they started shouting and screaming.
All players in Zhuque City, whoever they are, the team they most want to avoid is definitely the one led by Su Sheng.
But!
Su Sheng had already arrived!
Defensive Stance!
The first defensive knight wore heavy armor, even a massive steel helm, and his Shield was a hefty Tower Shield.
It exuded sheer safety.
Su Sheng's previous Shield, the Dragon Scale Shield, was a round shield; the current defensive shield is just a zither‑shaped Shield, both medium‑small shields.
And this Tower Shield is a proper big shield.
But Su Sheng, with a charge stance, already thrust his spear!
Lion's fierce claw!
Bang!
-6314!
Massive damage leapt from the front defensive knight's head!
In an instant it lost half its HP; its HP was roughly 13,000, even at forty I don't have that much health.
However, the defensive knight's HP had an extra talent boost.
WTF!
The defensive knight was shocked; only he knows how exaggerated his armor's defense is, and that's his confidence.
But to lose half his HP from one spear—truly Mo Wen Qianchen!
Su Sheng hasn't even activated Falling Demon Body yet; he's only under Huang Mingxin's buff, and while holding a Shield his attack has already surpassed three thousand.
Divine Thunder Magic Light's Armor Break, combined with Lion's Claw's 3.3 multiplier, still felt to Su Sheng that this damage was low.
Of course, the damage reduction from Defensive Stance, plus defense… that's about it.
Although we didn't instantly kill that defensive knight, at this stage everyone has equipment‑level skills, basically already upgraded, and with the defensive knight being a solid main tank, trying to directly kill a defensive knight is still rather hard.
But don't forget, this is Mounted Combat, and Lion's Claw gains an extra Knock‑up.
That Tower Shield defensive knight was directly knocked up by Su Sheng.
However, the two defensive knights beside it were not slow to act.
Shield Strike!
Two Shield Strikes, one from the left and one from the right, hammered at Su Sheng.
But immediately after, they halted.
Stun Club!
Chen Guan's figure appeared behind one of the knight players.
Smoke Swirl!
The other knight also entered Stasis.
Iron Barrel Formation, all three iron barrels were broken open.
Screech!
The Tower Shield defensive knight that was knocked up hadn't landed yet.
Fire Phoenix landed precisely!
Boom!
-8717
Then that Tower Shield defensive knight, with an expression of disbelief, turned into white light and vanished.
It helps that it's a match; death incurs no loss.
Su Sheng saw Li Wenwan's damage, clicked his tongue, and thought, "No wonder she's a cannon."
Of course, it's also because after being knocked up, the Tower Shield defensive knight's Defensive Stance was removed, losing the thirty percent damage reduction.
Three defensive knights: one was instantly killed, two were restrained.
The remaining two Mages were like two little lambs.
Snap!
Binding Talisman!
A Binding Talisman was slapped directly onto the knight hit by the Stun Club.
Originally the Stun Club's stun duration wasn't that long, but now with the Binding Talisman attached, they can only stare blankly.
Su Ba, after this period of contemplation and research, has made some progress.
Su Ba is just older, not truly old.
Liu Bang started his rebellion at 48 and ascended the throne at 54.
The two Mages, though nervous, still responded quite competently.
Resist Fire Ring!
One of the few Survival Skills of a Mage.
But…
The moment the two Mages raised their hands, Chen Guan leapt up directly.
Leap Attack! A rare skill of an Assassin.
Although it's a rare skill, that doesn't mean Yanhuang can't obtain it.
Deputy President Qiancheng Muxue and Du Xue both have the skill; as one of Yanhuang's Deputy Presidents, how could Chen Guan not have it?
Swipe!
Chen Guan landed directly behind one of the Mages.
Resist Fire Ring was used, yet the Mage close to the Assassin…
The outcome is, of course, obvious.
As for Su Sheng, it's even simpler.
Awakening Lion Charge!
Just like Shield Rush state, charging in Mounted Combat while in Dominant Body!
Bang!
That Mage was directly knocked off balance by Su Sheng's maroon wild horse.
Before regaining composure, a Cold Ray magnified in the eye.
What?
Poof…
Pierce!
Deadly Lion Fang!
The spear tip pierced the Mage player's neck directly.
-44640!
Weak Point Critical Hit!
Su Sheng doesn't even have that much HP.
That Mage gradually turned into white light.
Su Sheng innocently withdrew the Divine Thunder Magic Light from his hand.
At the same time, another white flash lit up, and another Mage was also dealt with by Chen Guan.
Then the two knight players who had just been released from control simply vanished…
Surrender!
They passed the surrender unanimously and disappeared immediately.
Su Sheng and Chen Guan exchanged a glance and showed a smile.
The first preliminary match, clean and decisive!
It really was that they were unlucky, having encountered Su Sheng's team.
Otherwise, their iron-through cannon tower formation would be truly hard to handle for an ordinary team.
Especially the Tower Shield defending knight in the middle; that guy was actually pretty good, but when he ran into Su Sheng and Li Wenwan, a coordinated attack took him down instantly.
System Notification: Congratulations, the player team has secured the first victory.
Please wait for the second match to be matched.
As the System Notification sounded, Su Sheng and the others could only wait for now.
However, perhaps Su Sheng's group won too cleanly.
After waiting for a while, no opponent had been matched for Su Sheng's team for the second round.
Su Sheng and the others could only stare at each other in bewilderment.
The preliminaries were not streamed.
When the real Battle for the Cauldron begins, the officials will open a live broadcast window on the forum.
