Chapter 966: The Final Battle (Two-in-One 4000 words)

This is also…

Su Sheng, the reason for his surprise.

Because this Domestic Server Solo Player is actually a Fangshi profession.

The Fangshi profession breaking into the Global Top List is not that surprising… Hongmeng Guild's Chairman Daozu and Deputy President Jiang Yuan, both entered the Global Top List as Fangshi.

Only… Daozu also seems to have obtained a Hidden Class, but Jiang Yuan remains an ordinary regular Fangshi.

Su Sheng is surprised that this anonymous user is an alternative among Fangshi… a melee Fangshi of the Sword Path style!

The regular Fangshi profession is also divided into two schools.

One uses the Dust‑Sweeping remote school, which is also the choice of the vast majority of Fangshi Players… essentially a ranged magical output.

After all, the Fangshi profession also wears cloth armor and has short legs.

Ranged output is the most comfortable playstyle.

Only a tiny fraction of Fangshi Players choose the Sword‑Magic school.

It is almost equivalent to a Combat Mage of the Mage profession,

But those Combat Mages at least have various shields that boost survivability.

Furthermore, Combat State grants an exclusive passive that increases movement speed, whereas Sword‑Magic Fangshi have only a slight agility boost and no such bonuses.

They remain a cloth‑armor glass‑cannon with short legs.

Up to now in the Global Top List competition, Su Sheng has also encountered a Combat Mage.

But this is truly the first time seeing a Sword‑Magic Fangshi, and it happened during this Global Top List ranking match.

"Bro, that's fine."

Su Sheng grinned, "Then let's try this Sword‑Magic Fangshi."

Facing the anonymous user's attack, Su Sheng activated Falling Demon Body and entered Defensive Stance.

The anonymous user showed no change in expression… but they could read Su Sheng's plan; however, opposite is Mo Wen Qianchen, who truly has the right to assess themselves.

Only, the sword in hand began to flash with skill effects.

Puff~

The sword directly pierced Su Sheng's shield!

-6021

-6018

Two damage numbers emerged from Su Sheng's head!

One physical, one magical!

Yin‑Yang Sword.

Su Sheng recognized this Fangshi's standard skill.

Then Su Sheng immediately thrust a spear from the side…

but the anonymous user simply dodged!

The spear attack missed entirely!

Did not hit!

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow; this move indeed surprised him—prediction was very precise, but it's nothing special… his own spear was crafty, yet the opponent is still someone who can make the Global Top List.

How could they have nothing?

At the same time, an arc of light slashed toward Su Sheng from the side, but the anonymous user himself moved to the side!

But Su Sheng's spear turned into a Sweep!

Lion's Claw!

The spear also precisely swept into the sword's trajectory!

Clang!

Spear and sword collided!

-8032

-20226

One damage number emerged from Su Sheng's head, and one damage number emerged from the anonymous user's head.

Of course… the over‑20,000 damage was the one that came from the anonymous user's head.

Although the current Su Sheng has only activated Falling Demon Body, and the weapons collided… there is a certain force‑release judgment that reduces some damage… the anonymous user, after all, is merely a glass‑cannon cloth‑armor profession.

But Su Sheng stared in astonishment.

Because he, along with his Xuan Ni, started to stagger and entered an unbalanced state!

This is…

Size suppression?!

In contrast, the anonymous user remained motionless on the spot… no, you can't say he was motionless; the sword in his hand was not idle, continuing to step forward, chasing him.

That's unlikely!

I have the Giant Elephant passive; how could I be affected by size suppression and become unbalanced?

And this anonymous user, a glass‑cannon cloth‑armor profession… the damage that just popped already proved over 20,000 HP loss, enough to see his health bar drop by more than half.

His toughness value couldn't be higher than mine.

Toughness itself is a hidden attribute, calculated from a series of factors based on player level and equipment.

Among them, the factor that most affects toughness is equipment.

Specifically, players wearing heavy armor usually have toughness values far higher than those wearing leather or cloth armor.

So… this anonymous user in cloth armor cannot possibly exceed me in toughness.

But now, in this single clash, I was indeed knocked into an unbalanced state.

Then there is only one explanation: it must be some kind of rebound technique.

As for the existence of such a technique, Su Sheng is not exactly surprised…

That line again!

"Zhu Lu" is huge!

Puff puff puff puff~

And in the brief moment of Su Sheng's imbalance…

The anonymous user's spell sword repeatedly jabbed Su Sheng!

-6422

-10228

-18032

-36202

Seven swords!

By the time Su Sheng adjusted his stance, he had already been pierced by seven swords!

The damage of the first sword was almost comical… but each subsequent sword dealt higher damage.

Looking at the skill light effect swirling around the spell sword, it was clearly a skill…

When this skill hit, I lost nearly seventy‑to‑eighty thousand health.

If I hadn't been in Mounted State, and considering the initial output damage…

I could have been instantly killed by this skill!

Even so, Su Sheng's current health is still precarious.

Tsk…

Su Sheng smacked his lips, still having underestimated the world's heroes; a single misstep could make him capsize in a dark ditch.

Swish!

White smoke separately enveloped Su Sheng and the anonymous user.

Fireworks Blessing and Smoke Swirl!

The effects of the two white smokes were naturally completely different.

At the same time, the mythical lion opened its mouth, unleashing a Fireworks Dragon Breath!

Swish~

And at this moment!

A light spot suddenly appeared beneath the anonymous user's feet!

The light spot's area was vast, covering half the arena…

The light spot wasn't stationary; it was rotating.

The shape of the light spot made Su Sheng furrow his brow… the Big Dipper?!

Swish!

At that moment, the anonymous user, who had been controlled by Smoke Swirl, vanished outright!

Puff!

The Fireworks Dragon Breath naturally missed entirely!

Meanwhile, the anonymous user appeared on one of the seven‑star light spot nodes…

And that node happened to be right behind Su Sheng!

Puff!

-9099

The spell sword jabbed Su Sheng's back, dealing damage that popped out, but at that moment Su Sheng was covered by a Smoke Swirl shield, which absorbed the damage.

Su Sheng truly marveled at the anonymous user's output.

This output was certainly not inferior to his own.

At this stage, Su Sheng could definitely be called a numbers monster, even compared to Shen Wang and the like… aside from ultimate skills, none deal as high damage as his own.

But at the same time, Su Sheng was essentially a counterattack spear!

This sword also happened to trigger the Lion Tail Whip technique.

Only… turning around, Su Sheng saw that the anonymous user was still enveloped by the mythical lion's Smoke Swirl.

That means he is still under control.

But as Su Sheng thrust his spear…

Swish~

The anonymous user vanished again, and Su Sheng's spear naturally missed once more.

Then, from the corner of his eye, he saw the anonymous user reappear on another seven‑star light spot node, the spell sword in hand thrust forward.

Although the anonymous user was still wrapped in Smoke Swirl… the Smoke Swirl only caused Stasis, preventing movement; it wasn't a stun, so besides being immobile, he could still attack normally, Block, etc.

But…

In this state, the anonymous user can directly teleport repeatedly between these seven‑star light‑like nodes without moving himself, right?

"Heavenly Gang Seven‑Star Step! An ultra‑rare Hidden Skill of the sword‑magic alchemists!"

"Why does it feel like Mo Wen Qianchen got beaten even worse this time?"

"Mo Wen Qianchen, he didn't take it seriously at all; didn't you see that none of his various buffs were activated?"

"Don't mess up, otherwise Mo Wen Qianchen might end up capsizing in the gutter."

"It's because of Mo Wen Qianchen—he was too arrogant and didn't consider the other party at first."

"But to be fair, this guy's damage is truly high; I've watched previous matches, and when players' attacks hit Mo Wen Qianchen, aside from a few well‑known masters, everyone else barely scratched him."

"I instantly felt my Dust‑Sweeping Fan lost its charm—what should I do?"

"I feel the same, brother; the other sword‑magic methods I saw before were all grim… but now I suddenly realize that being a sword‑magic alchemist isn't so bad."

"I think it's not like that; it seems more like Mo Wen Qianchen wanted to test the opponent's strength—didn't you notice?"

"The anonymous user is still a Solo Player!"

"It looks to me like Mo Wen Da Lao has taken an interest, trying to recruit him into his Yanhuang, so he decided to test his abilities."

"Then he realized the other's skill was greater than expected, and he almost capsized in the gutter himself."

…

The many spectator‑players discuss the match on forums and public channels.

Su Sheng naturally couldn't see, but…

This guy's various skills truly exceeded my expectations.

But…

I'm done playing!

Refresh!

Su Sheng shot straight up.

Flap Wings, 30 seconds!

While soaring high, Su Sheng finally saw clearly the Seven‑Star Radiance Array spot beneath the anonymous user's feet.

The slowly rotating Big Dipper, because it isn't stationary, has its nodes constantly shifting.

Tsk…

Suanni's Fireworks Dragon Breath spewed straight down.

The Big Dipper's light spot remained, and the anonymous user teleported wildly among its nodes within the spot.

Fireworks Dragon Breath simply couldn't lock onto his form.

But it lasted only about ten seconds…

The Big Dipper's light spot vanished, and then Fireworks Dragon Breath enveloped the anonymous user.

Without the Big Dipper's node teleportation, the anonymous user reverted to his short‑legged nature.

Naturally, he could no longer evade Suanni's Fireworks Dragon Breath…

Puff puff~

A true damage tick popped up over ten thousand.

The anonymous user kept trying to escape the area…

Two…

Realizing he couldn't dodge, the anonymous user simply stopped evading, stood his ground, looked up, and gave a complicated glance at Mo Wen Qianchen hovering in midair.

Although he still has other Bottom Cards and tactics, with the other party flying above and him unable to fly or under no anti‑air restriction, no amount of Bottom Cards can threaten Su Sheng.

Three… damage ticks appeared.

The anonymous user instantly turned into a flash of white light.

"??"

Su Sheng was momentarily stunned.

Huh?

Not?

How could someone who made the Global Top List lack a Survival Skill?

But it seems…

That's normal, too.

This guy may have something up his sleeve, but in the end he's still a Solo Player.

Protective Gear is rarely found in Solo Players' hands.

If one's class lacks a Survival Skill, they must rely on Protective Gear.

Even if a Solo Player gets lucky and obtains one, given its high resale value they'd probably just sell it.

As for the anonymous user, Su Sheng could tell he was just an ordinary sword‑magic alchemist.

His damage output is so high probably because he had his own special encounter.

And this guy made it onto the Global Top List thanks to that sky‑high attack power—Su Sheng was almost wiped out, not to mention the Seven‑Star Step.

Anyway…

Ding~

The tenth match ended.

Please teleport out of the arena first.

Su Sheng left and immediately noticed a gaze.

Su Sheng turned his head and saw two anonymous users.

And the arena's spectator seats are still sparsely populated, making it relatively empty.

Su Sheng thought for a moment, then walked straight over.

"You're not bad."

"You're playing dirty."

The two almost spoke in unison.

Facing such a solo player, Su Sheng really wanted to pull him into his own guild.

And the anonymous user, but really feeling down… Mo Wen Qianchen's fire-spitting flight is absolutely a dimensionality-reducing strike for players at this stage; what else is it if not playing dirty?

"Haha, that's also my own thing, it counts as a legitimate move." Su Sheng gave a laugh.

Both sides fell silent for a moment.

"How about it, want to consider joining Yan and Huang?"

Su Sheng directly asked.

"No…"

The anonymous user directly turned around.

Su Sheng saw this and gave a wry smile, wondering if he was resenting Su Sheng for winning that way just now.

Looks like he's just a young guy still holding a grudge…

Forget it, I'll have Huan Jie get in touch later.

At this time, things started happening one after another.

Players from the other matches of the tenth round also began to teleport out.

After the last pair of match players teleported out of the arena, the system voice sounded.

Ding~

The first round of the Global Top List ranking battle has ended.

The following are:

Ten consecutive wins, 2 people.

Nine consecutive wins, 18 people

Eight consecutive wins…

Ding~

The approximate ranking of the Global Top List has been decided.

Next, continue the ranking match second round; the competition will proceed with equal win counts.

For each match, the goal of losing a round automatically lowers the next rank.

…

Everyone was discussing heatedly.

Out of a full thousand people, only two actually got ten consecutive wins.

Everyone widened their eyes, wondering who it would be.

Immediately after.

Ding~

The second round of the ranking match begins!

Only two players obtained ten consecutive wins in the first round, so without a doubt…

This should be the first and second place of this Global Top List.

One of them is me, so the other person…

Teleport!

Swish~

Su Sheng appeared on the arena.

As expected, this is my final match in this global mission competition.

Looking at the person opposite, Su Sheng wasn't surprised…
