The four square formation consisted of a 50x50 arena in the center surrounded by a circle of staggered two by two floating platforms for the combatants to maneuver.
Beneath these small platforms was an abyss with an unseen bottom.
If one were to be accidentally knocked off into the abyss, they would be disqualified immediately.
Beyond this ring of small platforms, there was no more ground for the combatants to stand on.
It was hard to say whether this battle scene was advantageous or disadvantageous for anyone.
However, overall, it was clearly more favorable for fighters like Zong Musher, who relied on agility and techniques.
Conversely, those without agility and lacking ranged attack methods might find it quite challenging.
For instance, the well-known low power profession, the healer.
Of course, healers generally find themselves at a disadvantage in most scenarios.
Only Lini, this oddity, managed to achieve outstanding results with a low power class.
As the battle was about to begin, Leni glanced at the rapidly refreshing information of the spectators entering the arena and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
At this speed of influx, there were probably tens of thousands of people who had come to watch the excitement.
Lenny didn't know the exact number.
Only the members of the professional alliance would know the specific number of spectators for this battle.
The feeling of being watched is one of the objective conditions that competitors need to overcome if there is even a hint of stage fright.
It might prevent them from fully showcasing their strength.
This is especially true for beginners.
However, for someone like Lini, an old hand in the arena, he had long since grown accustomed to it and didn't care at all about whether there were spectators or how many there were.
He merely took a glance at the spectator list and then lost interest.
On the other side, as the countdown to battle began, Zong Mushu clenched her fists.
She and Liy had achieved their second transition on the same day, but hardly anyone knew about it.
Because Linia's fame and the commotion he caused were just too great, very few people noticed her second transition.
It must be said that being born in the same era as a prodigy like Lini is indeed a kind of sorrow for those talented professionals whose abilities far exceed the norm.
The achievements that would stand out among ordinary people and even break records often seem meaningless when compared to these prodigies.
Now that so many spectators had entered, it left her feeling somewhat flustered.
Although she knew that these people were mostly there to see Liy, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
Calm down.
Calm down.
She studied her emotions and reminded herself that she wasn't te without a chance.
In this scenario, I do have a chance.
As Zong Mushu watched the countdown nearing its end, she quickly calculated in her mind.
For many, 10 seconds of countdown felt incredibly long as one corner of the arena.
The moment Lynn Yei stepped onto the stage, he immediately retreated towards the edge of the arena.
Showing no interest in even glancing at his opponent, he created distance right away.
It seemed that even Linny didn't te dare to face Zong Moo head on.
The Zone family has always been known for their fighters.
Wound facing them directly be courting death.
This was indeed true.
But with this strategy, did Lini still have any chance of winning? How could he not have a chance? Why don't you step down and have a match with Lini and see for yourself? The discussion in the spectator area became quite intense.
Everyone had their own opinions on the outcome of this battle, and no one could convince anyone else.
After all, those who said Lin Yi could win couldn't explain how he would do it.
And those who said Zong Mushu would win didn't he know how to explain how Lini had defeated so many opponents before.
In short, it was a case of each side having its own reasoning, leading to a very heated debate.
However, it was certain that Lin's agility was indeed impressive.
In just a few quick movements, he had already leaped onto one of the floating platforms at the edge of the arena and then in one breath jumped across several platforms, retreating to the very edge of the arena.
Although Zong Mushua also chased after him immediately, she was still a step behind.
By the time she wanted to leap onto a platform to continue pursuing Lini, she saw a pure white fireball coming straight at her.
This startled her, and she immediately leaned back, bending her waist to dodge the fireball.
Even though theoretically, the holy flame fireball cast by Lynn, you should not harm humans.
She dared not be careless and take it head on.
Who knows what could go wrong? Ly was clearly not someone who would waste effort.
After dodging one fireball, Zong Mu did not immediately get up, but rolled on the ground to avoid.
It must be said that her instincts were quite sharp because just as she dodged the first fireball, a second fireball came crashing in.
If she had stood up directly, she would have definitely been hit.
Zong Moo dodged two fireballs and had already rolled to the edge of the arena.
At this moment, she sprang in action and leaped over two platforms, landing steadily, less than one platform away from Ly.
Impressive, as expected of someone from the Zone family.
I give this a 99 out of 100.
Damn, if I jumped around like that, I would have fallen off and lost.
The spectators couldn't te help but cheer on the arena.
Seeing Z Mushua had caught up, Lini merely smiled slightly.
And the next moment, a scene occurred that left everyone dumbfounded.
Lin's entire figure transformed into flickering sparks and disappeared on spot.
Zong Mu stood there in shock.
She had never remembered that there was such a skill in the holy light system that allowed one to disappear in place.
At that moment, some spectators had already found Lin Ya's location.
They saw that Lini had appeared on the arena, having gathered a ball of white fire in his hand.
It was a fireball he had just cast.
He appeared at the spot where his fireball landed and burnt.
Xiao Hong Wu mixed in with the spectators spoke up.
At this moment, he finally understood what Lin's ethereal and elusive movements were all about.
It turned out that the fireballs he had dodged had become Lin's teleportation landing points.
He had been so disoriented from the beating he received that he hadn't he realized this at all.
Now, as an observer, he finally saw it clearly.
Chapter 204.
Combat is more than just fists and kicks.
At this moment, those who had previously fought with Ly finally understood how his ghostly movement technique was achieved.
Sometimes Line's position was simply unfathomable.
However, during the battle, they had been in a passive state, focusing all their attention on Lini and had completely overlooked the existence of those fireballs.
Little did they know Lin Yi was using these flames to execute instant teleportation.
They also recalled that when fighting against them, Linnie had been throwing fireballs all over the place.
At that time, they thought Lini had poor aim as none of the fireballs hit them.
But in reality, Linny never intended to use those fireballs to attack anyone.
If this teleportation method were combined with some range techniques, wouldn't it be invincible? It was essential.
As long as the fireballs were sufficiently numerous and dispersed, there would be almost no chance of predicting their landing points.
Indeed, he would be almost unbeatable.
However, it seemed that Lini had no ranged means to threaten Zong Mushu.
Line's tactics could confuse ordinary competitors.
But in close combat against Zong Mushu, he wouldn't have much of an advantage, but he could stall for 10 minutes until the battle ended, right? Wouldn't that be considered passive resistance? One or two rounds wouldn't matter.
But asking a priest like Lini to engage in close combat with a fighter was unrealistic.
Wouldn't he just have to keep dodging to create space? Indeed, such a battle would be rather uninteresting.
While spectators were discussing, Lynn had already moved to the arena using the eternal holy fire.
Zong Mush stood on the floating platform outside the arena deep in thought.
This time, she did not rush to chase Ly.
Seeing that one of the fireballs on the arena had disappeared, she immediately realized something.
Is he trying by time? Zoo thought to herself.
If it ended in a stalemate, neither side would lose combat power.
It seemed Liy truly did not want to lose.
Or perhaps she could cut him some slack and let him have this match.
However, there were too many spectators now.
