Liu Xiwen stepped forward and smiled as she performed a fist salute to the two individuals. At that moment, the audience realized that there were actually two girls in this team, both of whom were beautiful—the cold and stern Assassin and the adorably clumsy Archer.
On either side of Liu Xiwen's waist hung two swords. Just by looking at the scabbards, it was clear they were not ordinary weapons. However, even the heavy sword's full-force strike had failed to break the shield; how could these light swords possibly do so?
Following Liu Xiwen, Knight Yu Shiming also offered a fist salute to the two in front before quickly running forward, soon reaching the position in front of the shield.
Unlike Warrior Lord Huan, Yu Shiming wielded a light sword, which provided him with much greater agility than the warrior, but his single-target physical output was nowhere near that of a warrior.
When Yu Shiming reached the front of the shield, he immediately stopped and turned around, drawing his sword towards Liu Xiwen. This scene sparked a flurry of discussions among countless viewers watching the live stream. Initially, everyone thought that Yu Shiming and Liu Xiwen were a couple, but given the current situation, it seemed that this knight had intentions of betrayal.
Otherwise, why would he draw his sword against his own ally?
Liu Xiwen's reaction seemed to confirm this suspicion. She accelerated from a walk into a sprint and swiftly drew her sword as she approached Yu Shiming, as if an internal conflict was about to erupt.
However, Liu Xiwen's sword did not strike Yu Shiming. At the moment she got close to him, she jumped up and lightly tapped her toes on the tip of Yu Shiming's sword.
Both exerted force simultaneously, causing Liu Xiwen to be propelled high into the air, even those on the Viewing Platform had to look up at her.
"What is this!" Through Chen Rui's perspective, Lin Yuqi shouted excitedly, "Sword of the Hanging Summit! A special attack technique that guarantees a final strike with its power increased to two hundred percent!"
The final strike is an experience players have gathered during battles; simply put, it is a critical hit. The triggering conditions vary; most require meeting certain criteria or using specific attack methods.
Special attack techniques are akin to unique secret skills; these methods are often very difficult to achieve but provide exceptional bonuses.
Just like the current Sword of the Hanging Summit, this effect could almost maximize a character's physical output.
And why was it the Assassin executing this attack? Because an Assassin's explosive damage is the highest among all physical classes, and this strike could very well be humanity's strongest physical attack.
"This is going to break the shield!" Lin Yuqi exclaimed excitedly. "Because Magic Shield has resistance and durability just like an ordinary shield. Although Han Mu Yu's Killing Formation had strong attack power, its burst damage was too low. While it could wear down Magic Shield, it couldn't deplete its durability. According to this game's rules: if an attack does not exceed the shield's resistance, it will not consume its durability; if an attack exceeds fifteen times the shield's resistance, it will ignore its durability and forcibly penetrate!"
In simpler terms, Li Xue's magic shield likely had a defense value of one hundred and a durability of one hundred million—a monstrous item—while Han Mu Yu's giant formation attack averaged around one thousand points. Even at a rate of ten attacks per second, it could only deplete twenty-seven thousand points of durability.
Han Mu Yu's inability to break through Li Xue's Magic Shield did not imply that the shield had high resistance or that Han Mu Yu's massive attack was insufficient; it was merely a part of the game rules. After all, this shield completely protected them, leaving no vulnerabilities for direct attacks.
According to the basic game settings, if the attack power exceeded fifteen hundred points—fifteen times greater than Li Xue's shield resistance—it would ignore the shield's durability and break through directly!
With the assassin's incredibly high burst damage, combined with the effects of the Sword of the Hanging Summit, it was highly likely to reach this target.
"However, the sword's attack isn't very high, so viewers should pay attention to the weapon in the assassin's hand. Is that really a sword?" Lin Yuqi was clearly excited, speaking whatever came to mind without regard for pacing. This only matched the tastes of the already ecstatic online audience, who were equally thrilled!
After Lin Yuqi's reminder, as the camera zoomed in, everyone noticed that Liu Xiwen was not using dual swords but rather dual daggers—two exquisite Tang Hengdao!
The horizontal dagger was a standard weapon for their team and was considered a superior quality blade. The market price for one superior Tang Hengdao would not be less than a thousand taels of silver. Additionally, the horizontal dagger had strong armor-piercing capabilities and penetration power, making it suitable for both infantry and cavalry use. Aside from its high cost, it had no other significant drawbacks.
Using a sword sheath to carry daggers could only be done with Tang Hengdao since its straight blade resembled a sword aside from its single edge and cutting edge. However, its offensive and practical capabilities far surpassed those of a sword.
Moreover, since Liu Xiwen's sheath was longer than the dagger itself, there was no concern about damaging the dagger tip. On the contrary, using a sword added an air of sophistication that matched her showy personality.
After being thrown into the air, Liu Xiwen immediately adjusted her body position, leading with her dual daggers while keeping her body perfectly aligned as she shot straight toward the top of the shield.
Moments later, the dagger tips struck against the shield, producing a tremendous explosion and wave of sword energy that sent dust flying from the sandy ground. Yet, the shield remained intact.
As everyone sighed in disappointment, another massive explosion followed. The crowd stared intently at the scene and suddenly realized that standing in front of the shield was not the knight but rather a warrior.
The warrior’s heavy sword struck against the shield once more, sending sword energy racing toward Chiba and Li Xue. The two waves of energy arrived almost simultaneously, causing their hoods to be blown off and revealing their pointed ears...
Silence fell over the arena; no one expected that these two young and talented female mages were actually Half-Elves!
Half-Elves were products of unions between elves and humans. They could wield magic like elves while possessing human physicality. The elven race held a deep disdain for Half-Elves because they believed that combining with "inferior" human bloodlines could never produce anything of exceptional quality.
The human race was somewhat more accepting of Half-Elves due to their appearance, but in reality, most people still harbored a strong aversion to their elven blood, especially ordinary folks.
Li Xue retracted her shield, having already discerned the other party's intentions, which had now been turned into reality.
How could a mage possibly be a Half-Elf? This was the question that lingered in the minds of most present. Soon after, many people on the Viewing Platform and in the surrounding areas forcibly removed the robes and hoods of the mages, revealing that they were all humans with elven features—Half-Elves.
This secret was originally known only to the royal families of various nations, as the birth of mages stemmed from greed.
Thousands of years ago, a super empire of humanity coveted the magical abilities possessed by elves. They dispatched troops to conquer the Elven Kingdoms, capturing numerous elves and forcing them to mate with humans, thus giving birth to the first generation of mages...
Elven blood would diminish with each generation, but even diluted elven blood retained some ability to wield magic; however, the quality of that magic would decline accordingly, leading to what was known as the second generation.
Only children born from the union of elves and humans—those with more than half elven blood—known as Half-Elves, were considered the most exceptional mages; these were referred to as the first generation.
However, with the decline of that super empire thousands of years ago, humanity had not seen any significant figures emerge since then, resulting in a scarcity of first-generation mages.
Over time, humanity forgot how mages came into being; only those possessing elven blood were aware of this extremely dark secret.
Sixteen years ago, when the Tang Empire was established, an advisor suggested that the founding monarch undertake such a "great endeavor," but it was outright rejected since no mages had assisted in the founding journey of the Tang Empire.
Moreover, the founding monarch ruled with benevolence. At that time, it was also a period of close diplomatic relations for the Tang Dynasty; many nations and foreign tribes came to pay their respects, creating a magnificent scene of nations coming to court.
Now, however, relations between the Tang Kingdom and foreign tribes were quite poor—arguably terrible. Thus, upon learning that mages were indeed Half-Elves, most Tang People felt some degree of resentment.
What made matters worse was that Yuki Chiba and Li Xue were not merely second-generation with minimal elven blood; they were first-generation! With slender ears, golden long hair, and unparalleled beauty, they truly embodied exquisite allure. In this era, first-generation individuals must have been born from a love affair between an elf and a human.
Seeing this situation unfold, Yuki Chiba felt somewhat at a loss and nervously tugged at Li Xue's clothing. Li Xue shot an annoyed glance at the warrior nearby.
Lord Huan let out a bitter laugh. "I didn't expect it would have such a significant impact..."
"Enough!" Suddenly, a solemn and serious voice came from the First Observation Platform. Everyone turned their gaze to see an elf in a long robe bowing to Your Majesty the Emperor.
Then, the elf leaped directly off the platform, which was completely inconsistent with the typical poor physical condition of ordinary elves.
"You two! Enough!" Chen Rui coldly addressed Yuki Chiba and Li Xue, then walked over to the judging panel and respectfully cupped his fists. "I apologize for the impact caused to your side; please disqualify them from the competition!"
"This..." The Chief Judge was at a loss for how to decide. After all, the legendary profession of mage had been accepted by people, but the reality was far from satisfactory.
"Due to the mage's forfeiture, the Ninth Lower Martial Arts Tournament is won by Team 85."
Chen Rui gestured to Lovisah, who immediately followed him as they slowly prepared to leave the Training Ground.
Li Xue watched Chen Rui's back and quickly ran over, calling out to him, "Um... I think I've seen you somewhere before!"
