Chapter 643: Ghost Hand

…

About two and a half hours later, it was finally Su Sheng's turn.

Under the guidance of the staff, Su Sheng sat on an ergonomic chair and put on the game helmet.

He entered the match interface and selected a character.

The character selection time was only twenty seconds.

After all, everyone was level 40 with completely white‑board equipment, using the same template, so there was nothing to agonize over—just pick what you're familiar with.

Most players simply chose the profession they usually play in the game.

However, when it came to Su Sheng…

Su Sheng silently clicked on the Assassin and chose… Wind‑chasing Rogue!

Some players from the Yanhuang Club's Assassin Guild noticed Su Sheng's match, and those who hadn't yet been matched with their own Ten Court Yanluo lit up.

Former legend!

He's back!

Swish~

Su Sheng appeared in the arena.

He jumped slightly, and Su Sheng showed a smile.

Still the familiar feeling!

A level‑40 Wind‑chasing Rogue, all white‑board gear.

He didn't even have North Wind Step yet—North Wind Step is a level‑45 skill for the Wind‑chasing Rogue.

Wind‑chasing Rogue, although lacking the high level and good gear of the game version, feels much lighter than the in‑game character.

"Hey, your courage is commendable."

At that moment, the arena master opposite looked at Su Sheng and said with a smile.

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows; the match countdown was at three seconds.

"You know I'm a Defensive Knight, yet you still chose a Wind‑chasing Rogue with the same white‑board gear—can you break my defense?"

The opposite arena master laughed loudly.

Su Sheng's face turned odd; he really hadn't noticed what profession the opposite arena master was.

After all… they're all the same.

"Thanks for the warmth, big brother—I'll go easy on you."

The arena master stared at the match countdown.

After all, the Wind‑chasing Rogue's output capability is obvious to all.

It's only slightly higher than that of a Defensive Knight and a Holy Light Priest.

Most Wind‑chasing Rogues, upon seeing a Defensive Knight, simply walk around—after all, for a Wind‑chasing Rogue's output, a Defensive Knight is nothing but a huge, smelly, hard stone.

This isn't the game; in the game there are items or equipment level suppression.

Now, with everyone on the same template, a Wind‑chasing Rogue really struggles to break through a Defensive Knight's defense.

Moreover, this guy actually held the arena master with a Defensive Knight, showing he's got some tricks—no wonder he's so confident.

"Haha, this guy is also an idiot—how can a Wind‑chasing Rogue beat a Defensive Knight?"

"Maybe in the game he's also a Wind‑chasing Rogue."

"Idiot, pick an Assassin."

"Yeah, it's pretty much the same as that earlier guy who picked a Holy Light Priest, the little fairy."

"Although picking a Defensive Knight is already odd, at least go for a War Knight."

The players waiting in line, seeing the arena situation on the big screen, were all discussing it.

To be frank, Defensive Knight, Wind‑chasing Rogue, and Holy Light Priest—these three professions are basically unsuitable for arena 1v1.

Their attack power is all low: the Defensive Knight is just a meat shield, the Wind‑chasing Rogue is merely more agile, and the Holy Light Priest—well, what PK can a healer do?

Especially with template characters, many game players who play Defensive Knights choose War Knights or… Trap Formation Warriors when they fight in the arena.

Priests basically all choose Punishing Priest.

And Wind‑chasing Rogues choose Assassin.

…

Swish~

The countdown ended.

Charge!

Swish~

The opposite arena master directly launched a Charge at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng grinned and stood still without moving.

Seeing this, the opposite arena master raised his eyebrows: what's this guy grinning stupidly in place for—did he get scared stupid?

Never mind, just rush over and kill him.

Anyway, he basically can't break my defense, so I'll just go all out.

Swish~

At the moment the Defensive Knight closed in, Su Sheng suddenly sidestepped, very lightly.

Force Flash!

Miss!

Just like that, the defending knight's charge was outright wasted.

"Watt?"

The champion hadn't even reacted yet.

Swish~

A pain shot through the forehead.

Stun Club!

Dizziness!

Swish swish swish swish~

Immediately after, a flurry of damage erupted.

Assassin, backstab itself already has extra damage bonus.

Su Sheng's dagger was so precise that each strike hit the same spot…

Combined with Su Sheng's dual daggers' extreme attack frequency.

Nearly five or six strikes per second!

Dual‑wield attack frequency, plus Su Sheng's ultimate technique.

"WTF!"

The defending knight champion saw his HP drop sharply, his eyes bulging.

Then he looked at the combat prompt.

Attack, attack, attack, attack, Weak Spot Attack, Weak Spot Attack, Weak Spot Attack…

Finisher, critical hit.

What the heck?!

Full‑cover helmet, how could it hit the weak point?

But the dizziness cleared.

Now it's my turn, turning around with a Heroic Strike!

Swish~

MISS~

MISS~

???

Where's the person?

Behind, there's still Su Sheng's figure.

Swish swish~

Weak Spot Attack, Weak Spot Attack, Weak Spot Attack~

Critical hit~

HP bar emptied!

Shadow Veil Step?!

The defending knight champion saw that term flash in his mind, knelt outright, and then dissolved into white light.

Indeed, with normal attacks, a Windchasing Thief basically can't break a defending knight's guard, and a full‑cover helmet can protect the weak spot at the back of the head.

However, every one of Su Sheng's attacks hits the same spot, extremely precise with no deviation.

The weak point, each time attacked precisely at the same spot; after enough hits, even a full‑cover helmet will enter an Armor Break Status, allowing Weak Point Damage.

Weak Spot Attack naturally breaks the defense outright.

This is a default mechanism, but maintaining high‑frequency attacks all precisely on the same spot isn't something everyone can achieve.

"WTF, what happened?"

"How did he instantly kill a defending knight?"

"How long? Three seconds or four seconds?"

"What a silky Shadow Veil Step!"

"You said it wouldn't break the guard?"

"Windchasing Ghost Hand! I know, this is Windchasing Ghost Hand!!"

Windchasing Ghost Hand, one of the Windchasing Thief's techniques, relies on the short‑range advantage of dual‑wielded daggers, plus extreme agility and dexterity.

Adjusting the attack range can achieve the ultimate attack frequency.

But there are currently fewer than ten Windchasing Thieves who can pull this off… the technique's creator… the Doomed Scholar!

Impressive!

"Surely it's not someone from Yanhuang's people."

"Probably a former Assassin Alliance member."

"Don't know which Ten Court Yanluo it is."

"That guy from Honor Hall 979, it's your turn."

The people lining up nearby start heckling.

"Gudu~ just go up, it's only a Windchasing Thief, watch me handle it!"

"Mo Wen, Qian Chen is here, I'll crush them, let alone it's just a Windchasing Thief."

That guy still mutters stubbornly, but his expression clearly shows he's a bit lacking confidence.

Probably cremated, only a mouth remains.

But it's his turn now; under the staff's guidance, he still forces himself to go up.

…

Swish~

War Knight!

This guy directly chose War Knight…
