Chapter 1879 1879: The Iron Bull of the European Server
"???"
"Damn! Is this girl out of her mind?"
Seeing Meng Xi come and go as she pleased, Ming Du shouted angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that she's a woman, and Frost Blade's girlfriend at that, I would have already knocked her out!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The others rolled their eyes at him and said, "Do you even know her background? If you lay a hand on her, our team might lose a member by tomorrow..."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Wang Yu asked Fearless in surprise.
"It is..." Fearless shrugged and replied, "This is abroad, not like the law and order back home. Here, gangs are considered legitimate professions; two thugs could easily silence Ming Du."
"Damn!" Ming Du shuddered and quickly said, "I was just boasting, do you understand what boasting is?"
"What a waste!" Everyone looked at him with disdain again.
...
The ten-minute halftime break quickly came to an end.
Both teams returned to the arena, and the match continued into the fourth round.
The game was like playing cards; the trump card was always held back.
In the fourth round, the player from the Crowd of Misfits team was naturally the formidable Evil Rampage, while the opposing Holy Hall team sent out a holy knight clad in silver armor.
"Holy Knight?"
Seeing the player from the Holy Hall team, the audience was a bit confused.
The holy knight, known as a jack-of-all-trades support class, was a profession that left people feeling conflicted.
If you called it weak, it could deal damage, tank, and heal.
If you called it strong, compared to specialized classes, it always seemed to fall short.
It could deal less damage than a weapon Warrior with full attack talents, use a shield but lacked proficiency in shield skills, and could heal but not as well as a priest.
Thus, the holy knight's status in regular teams was rather awkward.
When the tank died, the holy knight would step in; when damage dealers died, the holy knight would step in; when the healer died, the holy knight would step in...
For this reason, the holy knight was also known as the eternal second.
It appeared to be very versatile, yet it could not be the main force and could only serve as a substitute.
In PvP, it was even worse; due to the holy knight's ability to transform various weapons using holy light and the requirement for skills to be enhanced with incantations, controlling a holy knight was quite cumbersome.
The effort it took to train a holy knight was almost equivalent to mastering several other classes at the same time, and whether or not one could master it was another question.
If not trained well, a holy knight was just a mediocre mess; if trained well, it became a versatile god-class character.
In professional arenas, one must ensure absolute winning rates, so this kind of class, which took time to cultivate and whose input and output were disproportionate, naturally had few dedicated players.
As a result, the holy knight had a very low appearance rate in professional arenas...
The sudden emergence of such a class in the S-class professional league was quite surprising.
However, everyone understood.
Even Pugilists could enter the professional arena, and the holy knight was at least a bit stronger than Pugilists.
After both players entered the arena, the customary player introductions took place.
"The player from the Crowd of Misfits team is called Evil Rampage, and his class is Monk."
"The player from the Holy Hall team is called Holy Apostle, and his class is Holy Knight."
Evil Rampage had an impressive record in several matches and was quite distinctive, so everyone had a strong impression of him.
However, when it came to introducing his opponent, the holy knight, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.
"Holy Apostle? Could it be that Holy Apostle?"
"Damn! I thought this guy didn't show up."
Not only the audience but even the experts from various teams widened their eyes upon hearing the name "Holy Apostle."
According to the rules, each team was composed of at least twelve members, but only ten participated in battle; the remaining members, apart from the team leader, were all substitutes.
The Crowd of Misfits team had a sparse roster, and managing to gather twelve members was already challenging; their logistics team didn't exceed twenty people, making them quite shabby for this level of competition.
Top-tier teams like the Kyushu team usually started with a roster of twenty.
The Holy Hall team, as an established team, had at least two squads of players participating in this competition, with seven or eight substitutes.
In previous matches, the Holy Apostle had been hidden in the substitutes and was not among the main players, so no one had noticed him during the introductions. But who would have thought that during the halftime break, the Holy Hall team would replace him after losing three consecutive matches?
"It's actually him... Looks like this time, Old Evil is in for a tough fight."
Seeing the Holy Apostle on stage, Fearless couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Is this guy really that strong?" Wang Yu asked in confusion.
Although Evil Rampage was not as strong as Wang Yu, he was still Wang Yu's younger brother, and Wang Yu was somewhat aware of his capabilities.
Not to mention, Evil Rampage was quite rare among the younger generation, and aside from Wang Yu himself, he seldom encountered anyone who could rival him.
Yet, from Fearless's tone, it seemed that the Holy Apostle was stronger than Evil Rampage.
"It's beyond just strong!"
Frowning, Fearless replied to Wang Yu's question, "This guy can only be described as terrifying."
"How terrifying?"
"Almost equivalent to you in the European server."
Fearless said firmly, "Moreover, he is the top expert of the Holy Hall team, and the team is named after his ID. Although the Holy Hall team has had both wins and losses, this Holy Apostle has never been defeated, not even in team battles, where it takes at least three other top players to jointly suppress him. Even the Pantheon would have a headache when facing him."
"Really?" Wang Yu couldn't help but take a surprised glance at the Holy Apostle.
In a team battle, where the format is essentially 10v10, needing three or more top players to jointly suppress one person was almost equivalent to a typical player's strength, which indicated the Holy Apostle's formidable power.
A regular player could reach this level in the game, showcasing remarkable talent.
Indeed, the world is full of wonders; it was unexpected to encounter such extraordinary individuals while playing a game.
While everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Holy Apostle, the match had already begun on the arena.
...
Despite being an experienced expert, the Crowd of Misfits team's Evil Rampage was a businessman from the national server, with a clientele consisting of national server players. He could easily recount details about players like Quan Zhen Jiao, who were somewhat known in the national server, but he naturally had no idea who the Holy Apostle was.
As the match began, Evil Rampage walked over confidently, as usual.
Facing the approaching Evil Rampage, the Holy Apostle remained calm and slowly pulled out a talisman and stuck it onto his staff.
The staff instantly transformed into a golden totem, and the Holy Apostle then planted the totem into the ground.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of golden light spread out from the totem, and at the same time, the Holy Apostle's fists emanated a dazzling blue light.
