The crowd was bewildered, what was going on with the village chief?
It was one thing that his name turned red, but then he swung a sword in an empty space.
A few seconds later, a figure appeared, lying on the ground – it was Hunter Falcon, who had just been killed by Zhang Pingfan.
“Uh, the village chief is pretty fast!”
“The village chief’s eyes are so sharp; he noticed that. I didn’t even know he was here!”
“Damn it, with so many of us here, we still got killed by the village chief!”
[Ding! Detected Hunter Falcon’s energy. It has dropped again, and the overall level is less than half of what it was before!]
Zhang Pingfan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been concentrating intently, waiting for the last few seconds, as Hunter Falcon had always appeared in the final moments before.
“Good thing he didn’t escape this time, otherwise, Tianqi Huang might not have been able to kill him!”
[Ding! System prompt: Player Hunter Falcon has forfeited this match. Congratulations to Player Tianqi Huang for successfully advancing to the finals of the individual competition!]
Tianqi Huang, staying within the match area, was unaware of what had happened outside. He only knew that Hunter Falcon hadn’t appeared, and he had advanced.
“Damn, this guy is so cowardly. Everyone online hypes him up, but why wouldn’t he dare to show up?”
But when Tianqi Huang learned the real reason, he could only stare in disbelief.
It turned out Hunter Falcon hadn’t refused to come; he had been killed by the village chief on the way.
The highly anticipated finals of the individual competition should have been an exciting moment. However, the spectators had lost all desire to watch, as the champion was already a foregone conclusion.
“Let’s go, nothing more to see!”
“Why are you leaving? Isn’t there still the finals?”
“The finals? Are you sure?”
“Uh, although the champion is definitely Dou Youyou, Tianqi Huang isn’t a pushover either, he’s ranked second!”
“His second place is miles away from her first. Although they are both hidden professions, the difference in their combat power is too great, there’s no comparison. At most, we can only guess how many attacks Tianqi Huang can withstand!”
“You’re underestimating Tianqi Huang too much. He’s the guild leader of the Tianqi Huang Dynasty. At most, he can withstand three attacks!”
“…That makes him sound even more pathetic. I guess twice!”
The outside world discussed the finals the most, focusing on how many attacks Tianqi Huang could withstand.
No one even considered whether Tianqi Huang could win.
The finals were once again personally hosted by Zhang Pingfan.
“Hello, Village Chief!”
“Hello, Master~”
Zhang Pingfan glared at Dou Youyou. This little girl was becoming more and more impertinent.
“I won’t explain the rules, and I won’t waste anyone’s time. The match officially begins!”
Zhang Pingfan stepped aside, leaving the arena to Tianqi Huang and Dou Youyou.
“Sister Youyou, can you go easy on me? Give me some face!”
Tianqi Huang wore a wry smile.
The match hadn't even started, and he already knew the outcome. He just didn't want to lose too embarrassingly.
Dou Youyou also knew that Tianqi Huang was now an ally, so she didn't instantly kill him like before.
“Alright, then I’ll only use Yellow-tier skills!”
“…”
Although both were hidden professions, Tianqi Huang possessed numerous skills, but compared to Dou Youyou, his skills were far inferior.
Even with Yellow-tier skills, Dou Youyou’s skill damage was higher than others, and no one knew why.
The advantage of hidden professions was that their skills were more advanced than those of ordinary players, and their skill damage and effects were beyond what normal professions could achieve.
However, there were also differences in quality among hidden professions. Dou Youyou’s Dark Mage and Tianqi Huang’s Divine Seal Knight were both top-tier hidden professions.
But one was teaching Dou Youyou with all their might, while the other was limited.
Of course, Dou Youyou’s profession was more powerful.
“Dark Orb!”
“Divine Seal Block!”
“Boom!”
Following that, the two engaged in a back-and-forth exchange.
It seemed like a fierce battle.
This left the audience in an uncertain state.
“What’s going on? Is Tianqi Huang that strong, or is Dou Youyou too weak?”
“I thought it would be a match with no suspense, but it’s turned into a visual feast!”
“Good thing I didn’t leave, this fight is still quite exciting, but I just feel like something is a little off!”
Of course, something was off; the two weren’t fighting seriously.
After all, it was the finals, and Dou Youyou had received instructions from the game operators to prolong the finals as much as possible.
Dou Youyou had also informed Zhang Pingfan about this, and with his permission, they were putting on such a lively show.
As the saying goes, amateurs watch the excitement, while professionals see the skill.
Many experts, witnessing such brilliant skill displays, were speechless.
At first, they truly believed Tianqi Huang and Dou Youyou were evenly matched.
However, upon closer inspection, they realized Dou Youyou wasn’t using her full strength, and every skill Dou Youyou unleashed was precisely met by Tianqi Huang’s defense.
Although both were performing, they couldn’t help but be amazed by the dazzling special effects of the hidden profession skills.
More and more people returned to their screens to watch the live stream.
The number of viewers was also rising sharply.
“Holy cow, Tianqi Huang is holding his ground!”
“Amazing, amazing! I didn’t expect Tianqi Huang to be so resilient; his health has only dropped by half!”
“Go, Tianqi Huang! Let’s see if you can counter-kill!”
At this moment, Tianqi Huang was suffering immensely.
To act out the scene with Dou Youyou, he was already giving his all. If it weren't for his excellent footwork, he would have likely been reduced to dust by Dou Youyou long ago.
Acting was simple enough, but the key was that Dou Youyou didn’t know how to control her strength. Tianqi Huang had to actively cooperate with her every time.
After all, this was Dou Youyou’s first time playing an offensive profession, and her lack of skill was clearly displayed.
Dou Youyou’s strength stemmed from her excellent equipment, high stats, and her incredibly overpowered skills, which allowed her to instantly kill enemies before they could even touch her.
The final match lasted over 20 minutes before Tianqi Huang finally couldn’t hold on and was defeated by Dou Youyou.
Zhang Pingfan watched everything silently. He could only offer Tianqi Huang three seconds of silent tribute.
Zhang Pingfan raised his hand and shouted loudly.
“I declare that the final champion of this game’s competitive tournament, in the individual battle, is Dou Youyou!”
Dou Youyou’s championship was truly well-deserved.
Everyone was amazed that Tianqi Huang managed to last 20 minutes.
Zhang Pingfan’s courtyard.
Dou Youyou rushed over, holding a blind box.
“Master, this is the pet blind box that the champion receives in this tournament. What kind of pet do you think I’ll get?”
Zhang Pingfan glanced at it.
“It doesn’t say it’s a 100% guaranteed outcome, why are you so excited!”
“Oh, Master, just guess!”
