Chapter 1205: Godly Spring Halo

On the battlefield, Purity wielded her long spear and adopted her usual stance with the same indifferent expression.

“Tsk!”

Upon seeing Spring Halo on the opposite side of the battlefield, Purity couldn’t help but release a cold snort.

In Purity’s eyes, apart from Wang Yu, all the other members of Quan Zhen Sect were all a bunch of good-for-nothing trash, especially Spring Halo. This despicable person was the one that played the dirtiest in the very first match in the previous round.

He had actually relied on provoking an immature little kid in order to win his fight. Given Purity’s haughty attitude, she naturally did not place a person as shameless as Spring Halo in her eyes.

On the other hand, the moment Spring Halo was sent onto the stage, he was extremely cautious and paid full attention to Purity’s figure, mentally formulating any plans that he might carry out.

The Pugilist class greatly exceeded the Shaman class in terms of running speed. Furthermore, for someone like Purity that knew martial arts, they tend to add more points into their agility and their maneuvers were beyond comprehension. If he were to run, he definitely wouldn’t stand a chance. If that was the case, he might as well engage in a fight till the death with her. That way, at least he wouldn’t lose so badly.

Purity’s senses were extremely sharp. Thus, being stared at so intensely by Spring Halo’s gaze caused her heart to feel extremely restless.

The moment the match began, Purity did not mutter a single word. She immediately leapt towards Spring Halo with the long spear raised in her hands.

Spring Halo squinted his eyes upon seeing Purity charging towards him. He hurriedly retreated a step back and clumsily took a step to the side, using the magic staff in his hand to support his balance.

“Pfft!”

Purity’s spear flew in the air and landed right on the area beside Spring Halo.

“???”

Upon seeing that her attack had missed, a huge question mark appeared in Purity’s mind.

Nian Liuyun and the rest exclaimed in curiosity, “Eh? It missed?”

Failing to hit the opponent was an extremely common thing in the eyes of normal players. However, for Nianliu Yun and the few of them, it was extremely abnormal.

Everyone knew full well Purity’s level of attainment in her spearmanship skills. Even though it could not be compared to Wang Yu’s, she was still considered one of the outstanding few in her generation. Much less an ordinary person that did not know anything about martial arts, even they themselves weren’t able to guarantee that they would be able to dodge a spear strike from Purity.

Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!

Purity soon recovered herself. The moment her spear failed to meet its target, she immediately gripped onto the spear with one hand and viciously swung the spear horizontally in the air, aiming towards the back of Spring Halo’s head.

However, seeming as if he could predict Purity’s actions, Spring Halo instantaneously drilled into the ground and appeared a few metres away, avoiding Purity’s attack once more.

“He dodged it again!” Everyone’s eyes squinted at this scene.

Upon seeing that both of her spear strikes had missed its target, Purity’s heart was set ablaze. She raised her spear once more and was about to charge towards Spring Halo to put a few holes in his body. However, at this moment, Purity’s feet sank into the ground and were rooted to the spot.

Purity hurriedly looked downwards at her feet, only to discover that a patch of thorny undergrowth had appeared around her legs, locking them up firmly.

“Hehe!”

Spring Halo laughed cheekily as he raised his staff into the air, sending a cloud of green-coloured toxic gas towards Purity’s direction.

Upon seeing this, Purity’s body suddenly emitted a faint golden glow, deflecting the cloud of poisonous gas to a side.

[Unbreakable Golden Body] was an advanced ability that belonged to the Martial Savant. It was an ability that could block off any debuffing abilities.

Everyone knew that Purity and Nian Liuyun were complete opposites in terms of their fighting styles in the game. Nian Liuyun was overly reliant on his abilities in the game and would often forget his status as a martial artist. Purity, on the other hand, was the opposite and seldom relied on any in-game abilities.

This was the first time that everyone had witnessed Purity use an ability in the game.

The members from Team Pugilists Don’t Cry couldn’t help but change their impression of Spring Halo after seeing that he was able to dodge Purity’s attacks twice in a row and even manage to force her to use an ability.

It seemed like this despicable person had some skills after all.

“Ha!!”

After successfully deflecting the poison cloud, Purity let out a loud cry, activating [Inner Breath Roll]. Shortly after, the thorny undergrowth was instantly broken.

At the same time, Purity’s figure leapt into the air and flew towards Spring Halo.

“Hua!!”

Before Purity could land, Spring Halo had turned tail and ran backwards. At this moment, a black circle appeared on the ground he was standing upon.

[Dark Barrier]!!

Even though Purity was unfamiliar with all of the abilities in the game, she roughly knew the characteristics of every job class and thus, she had an idea of the effect of this ability.

Her heart suddenly tightened upon seeing the black circle beneath her. She immediately used her long spear to support her weight in mid-air, before throwing herself out of the circle before the [Dark Barrier] could rise.

“Swoosh!”

Just when Purity landed on the ground, a weird noise could be heard as a cloud of green mist, with Spring Halo as its centre, emanated over.

“…”

Upon seeing this scene, everyone revealed an expression of shock.

Even though Spring Halo constantly ran around and appeared clumsy, from the game’s perspective, however, Spring Halo had actually adopted the upper hand in this fight.

Spring Halo’s ability to land every single one of his abilities had left even the professional experts breathing in a breath of cold air at this phenomenon.

Despite the Shaman possessing more AOE abilities, they were all not point-and-click abilities. Furthermore, the casting and delay time of these abilities were extremely long.

Thus, the job class was heavily dependent on a player’s ability to predict and calculate the enemy’s movements.

It was especially more so when facing an agility based opponent. In these cases, the hit rate of these abilities was painfully low. Even the professional experts would not dare to easily let a Shaman go on stage to engage in a 1 vs 1 fight with the opponent.

As a Pugilist and a martial artist, everyone had witnessed just how agile Purity was. Her speed wasn’t lacking when compared to other job classes like the Assassin or the Archer.

However, when facing an opponent like Purity, Spring Halo did not appear to be in a disadvantage and instead, appeared to have the upper hand. He was able to land ability after ability, with a frighteningly high hit rate.

This sort of prediction and calculation was beyond god-like.

Who would have thought that this old fogey who had played dirty in the very first round was actually an expert of such calibre?

Not just the audience, the moment Purity saw Spring Halo’s [Poison Nova], cold sweat involuntarily formed on her forehead.

It couldn’t be helped, Purity could only roll on the ground in order to avoid the poison cloud from the [Poison Nova], tumbling into Spring Halo’s direction who was a short distance away.

“Hehe!”

Spring Halo evilly laughed once more after glancing at Purity, before turning tail and running backwards once more.

As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.

After exchanging a few blows with Spring Halo and having been trapped a few times, Purity had raised her caution.

Upon seeing the expression on Spring Halo’s face, Purity momentarily dropped any idea of giving chase, and instead, stood at her original spot.

However, just when Purity stood up from her current spot, her feet sunk into the ground once more and she was once again caught in a thorny undergrowth.

“I…”

Purity spat a mouthful of blood at this sight. F*ck, to think that this old b*stard would play her for a fool!!

Spring Halo’s [Wild Thorns] had a cooldown duration of 20s. Even though it was considered relatively long, in comparison to Purity’s [Inner Breath Roll], which had a cooldown of 60s, it was significantly shorter.

After getting rooted once more, the Purity this time round had truly lost her mobility.

“Youngster, you are still too inexperienced!”

Spring Halo turned around and laughed. With a wave of his staff, ten demons appeared in the air around Purity and began launching their attacks at her.
