Chapter 1856 1856: Two Ways to Break the Tornado Slash

The group from the Quan Zhen Sect was quite a bunch of troublemakers. Although Frost Blade had stated beforehand that no one should mock others when they lose, it was evident that after Frost Blade was knocked off the stage in one encounter, the crowd couldn't help but jeer, "Xue, you won't be able to marry a wife as beautiful as a flower!"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost!"

Frost Blade was furious and could only express his feelings with one word.

What kind of nonsense is this? They have nothing better to do every day than to stir up trouble.

……

At this moment, the reaction from the Free Combat Team was the most intense. Up to this point in the competition, this was the first genuine victory for the Free Combat Team.

Initially, after several losses, the mood among the Free Combat Team members was extremely gloomy. This sudden victory felt like a ray of light in the darkness, and everyone's previously low spirits suddenly had a glimmer of hope.

It seemed that the opponents were not invincible after all.

Just as both sides were still savoring the recent battle, a beam of light descended upon the Wuhuo Zong team once again, and it started to shake.

Seconds later, the beam stopped, and everyone's gaze shifted to see Boson slowly standing up.

A flash of light, and Boson was transported to the arena.

In the second match, it was Warrior against Warrior.

……

In a wheel tournament, players must keep fighting until they lose their position. Logically, after having fought one round, Wolf should be at a disadvantage.

However, Frost Blade had truly embarrassed himself, not even landing a hit on his opponent before being knocked off the stage. Wolf was still in prime condition.

In a one-on-one match when both were at full strength, with the opponent being a top-tier expert, Boson felt quite pressured.

"Hehe, it's actually a Warrior."

After winning a match, Wolf regained his confidence. Seeing that his opponent was also a Warrior, he couldn't help but smirk.

As a skilled Warrior, Wolf was naturally well-versed in the Warrior class. If the opponent had been of another class, he might have taken it more seriously, but since the opponent was a Warrior, he felt a bit disdainful.

Is there anyone more specialized in playing a Warrior than himself?

As the countdown for the match ended, Wolf followed his usual practice and initiated with a Qi Slash, sending a wave of energy toward Boson. Following that, he charged in for a collision.

Although this move seemed clichéd, it was extremely effective.

The Qi Slash served as a feint; the opponent's choices were limited to dodging, blocking, or taking the hit from the skill.

Regardless of the choice, it would expose a flaw in an instant, and at that moment, Wolf would charge in, leaving the opponent with no way to evade.

Getting caught by a top-tier expert who seized on a flaw would yield results no different from Frost Blade's defeat.

However, Boson was not a soft target to be easily manipulated.

Wolf had used this strategy twice before. While the first time against a freakish opponent he didn't unleash its full power, the second time he had made Frost Blade suffer greatly.

As the saying goes, 'the lessons learned from the past serve as a guide for the future'; Boson was well aware of Wolf's tricks.

Thus, at the moment Wolf threw out his Qi Slash, Boson stepped back and swung his great sword, unleashing his own Qi Slash, then quickly followed up with a charge.

"Bang!"

Just as Wolf's Qi Slash was still a few meters away from Boson, it collided with Boson's Qi Slash, resulting in an explosion.

Wolf, following closely behind, caught sight of Boson charging in.

"Trying to copy me?"

Seeing Boson mimic his tactic, Wolf couldn't help but smile slightly. He immediately canceled his charge skill, swung his great sword, and activated the Tornado Slash.

Although the skill judgment of Tornado Slash wasn't as strong as the charge, it had a particular characteristic.

Before it started spinning, the skill could be interrupted, but once it began to spin, no skill, including knock-ups and stuns, could interrupt it. The charge skill was no exception.

As Boson was about to be caught in Wolf's Tornado Slash, unexpectedly, Boson also canceled his charge and executed a three-hit slash. Then, Boson's figure flashed and appeared directly above Wolf, gripping the sword hilt tightly, and released the Earth-Shattering Slash with the blade facing down.

Wang Yu had previously educated the members of the Quan Zhen Sect about the flaws in the skills of each class in the game <<Rebirth>>. As a Warrior, Boson kept these flaws firmly in mind. Although Tornado Slash was a nearly perfect skill that remained useful even in the late game, it had two weaknesses. The first was that the user's footing was unstable; once the opponent began to spin, simply attacking their lower half with a long weapon could easily break through.

The second flaw was the weakness of the head. When the Tornado Slash was activated, both hands were occupied with the skill, making it impossible to use air-based skills like Dragon Rising Slash. This exposed the head as a vulnerability; thus, as long as one jumped and used an aerial skill, they could exploit it.

Attacking the lower half sounded simpler, but only a super expert like Wang Yu, with exceptional skill and courage, could manage it.

Thus, Boson chose the second method, attacking from above.

"!!!"

Seeing the opponent suddenly appear directly above him, with an Earth-Shattering Slash coming down, Wolf was taken aback.

But at that moment, since the Tornado Slash had already started, it was too late for him to connect an aerial skill. Wolf simply canceled the Tornado Slash and rolled to evade under Boson's sword.

"Boom!!"

Boson landed!

The ground was smashed into a large pit by Boson's skill.

The Earth-Shattering Slash was an AOE skill. Although Wolf wasn't directly hit on the head by Boson's weapon, he was still affected by the skill and was sent flying due to the powerful impact.

The effects of being knocked up and launched were nearly identical, but there was a difference; the knocked-up state could not be controlled. For this reason, only high-level skills could produce a knock-up effect, while ordinary skills could only create a launch effect.

Because the knocked-up state couldn't be controlled, Wolf had completely lost control of his body.

Before Wolf could fall back to the ground, Boson, crouching, forcefully pulled his great sword from the ground and executed a Dragon Rising Slash to lift Wolf up.

A two-stage launch would turn into a knock-up; at this moment, the knock-up state combined with the launch effect would upgrade the launch effect to a knock-up.

Wolf was knocked up by a single sword strike, exposing vulnerabilities all over his body.

"Fierce Dragon Breaking the Sky Slash!"

"Breaking Army Rising Dragon Slash!"

"Wave-Cutting Sky Soaring Slash!"

Boson seamlessly followed up with a series of powerful attacks, and Wolf was completely engulfed by the sword light.

Infinite combos were an essential skill for experts. Although Boson didn't match Wolf's level as a top expert, executing such combo maneuvers was still effortless for him.

Launching into a combo from a knock-up, then into another knock-up, followed by another combo…

Boson diligently struck Wolf with his great sword, and under Boson's relentless assaults, even landing became a luxury for Wolf. It was only a matter of time before he was taken down by Boson's combo.
