Chapter 115 [Episode 59] The Best One 2

“Actually, he really has great skill but this is mostly hype. You can win only if you show 100% of your skills.”

Luo Yusheng, Guild Master of Xiao Fang’s guild and Xiao Fang’s supporter, continued his pep talk to Xiao Fang.

In fact, Xiao Fang was a ranker, who joined and was made by the ‘Golden Imperial Soldiers’, one of the best guilds in China.

Luo Yusheng brought the talented young Xiao Fang and pushed him firmly from the beginning.

Thank to it, Xiao Fang was able to level up to level 50 even though he had a triple soul. Not only that, but all his items were superior to unique grade items that has been enhanced to +7.

“The one suited to be at the top spot is not that man, but you. So, today in this place, let all of us see that the strongest in the continent is the strongest in the world.”

Luo Yusheng was a powerful figure in China. He owned a real estate conglomerate with significant influence in China, even though he is from Hong Kong, but he was a person who believed in ‘China First’ to his marrow.

“So, should I use the third skill too?”

“As your opponent is a serious opponent, use the third Ancient Knowledge and press him hard.”

Up to now, Xiao Fang has been known as a double soul user. But he was actually a triple soul user. He was only hiding his third skill for various reasons.

“I got it.”

Xiao Fang nodded and replied with a confident look.

If he used his third ancient knowledge, no matter the opponent, even if it was the Immortal, he had the confidence to win.

And it was not just Xiao Fang or his aides who thought of this. Most of the Chinese users, who are by far the best in the world, predicted Xiao Fang’s victory.

[Frankly, it’s true that Immortal and his one guild are great, but isn’t it a story from about a few months ago? During these few months, the situation has changed a lot and… One Guild is also slowly being revealed as just hype.]

[That’s right, I don’t know if it was Lone King, but Immortal has too much hype as a guild master.]

[On the other hand, it was true that Xiao Fang was heavily undervalued because he was not active in the Gladiator Hall.]

[Immortal and Xiao Fang, these two will eventually find their place in the fight today.]

[Xiao Fang, fighting!] (TL note: cheering up, wishing good luck.)

[But, was Immortal’s skill really hype? I rather think Xiao Fang’s skill is hype.]

[It seems the top post is a Korean. Where is the Korean who set their nationality as Chinese?]

[I heard there are a lot of kids fake their nationality. The Koreans are from the Korean bulletin board.]

[Compared to Korean users, we started a little late and lagged behind, but as the time goes by, you will know why we are called the Great Country]

[In the past, even at the time of LOW, the Koreans had gained so much in the early days, but eventually we conquered all the servers. In the end, EL would be like that.]

[It is not the strongest user Immortal but the over-hyped user Immortal. Xiao Fang will definitely win today.]

  • •••••

  • Chinese users said Xiao Fang will win. Sometimes it was a comment to deny reality, but every time that happens, they’re driven into the corner and bombarded by facts.

    The reason that they can do this is because the influence of the guilds made by Chinese users in the game actually increased greatly.

    Anyway, because of the large head count, the power had exploded and as it has exploded, the rankings of the guilds went up naturally.

    If you observe the top-level guilds, there are more guilds dominated by Korean users, but it is true that China’s force is strong.

    However, only the Chinese users were predicting Xiao Fang’s superiority. Most of the users in other countries as well as Korean users have been predicting Immortal’s superiority.

    Especially, the beliefs of Korean users were close to faith.

    [The Chinese kids say Xiao Fang’s win is almost confirmed, aren’t they? Isn’t this a little worrying?]

    [Shut up! One Guild is our faith and Immortal is a token of the faith. You are doubting your faith!]

    [Frankly, the Chinese kids’ excitement is not one or two days, right? They’ll probably tell you another story when Xiao Fang is grounded.] (TL note: the excitement here is like making a scene unnecessarily before something happens, and buzzing around overreacting)

    [If Xiao Fang is grounded, would you call him Fighting Fang?] (TL note: the speaker plays Xiao Fang’s name as Ssaul Fang which means fighting Fang.)

    [Ooo, darn… because you said Fighting Fang, I thought you are the ahjussi (old man) in the supermarket outside.] (TL note: it’s similar to dad jokes. So if you play with words it’s usually made by an old man or ahjussi)

    [I have seen more than 100 times the paid video where Immortal appeared, but a guy like Xiao Fang will never win when 100 people attack.]

    [It’s funny to sit down comparing them who have different class in the first place. And I want you to stop talking about him being hyped. Have you ever seen a real, proven exaggeration among the controversies involving the winnings of the One Guild?]

    [The foreign kids predict a 99% probability that Immortal will win but only the Chinese kids are strange.]

    [Idiots, what do they think Immortal is for them to suck up to him like that? I think Xiao Fang is quite likely to win.]

    [Wow wow, seems that the guy, who has eaten the Chinese bowl, has appeared.]

    [You have studied hard to get the Korean certificate but you are barely showing off your Korean skills in this kind of place?]

    [Anyway, they are just rampaging guys who will shut up after 20 more minutes, just leave them.]

  • •••••
  • •••••
  • At first, it was only a quarter-finals tournament in Korea, but now it is almost like a national confrontation.

    The Chinese users who believe in Xiao Fang.

    The Korean users who believe in Immortal.

    They fought hard on the internet and the result was the roar went up even before the game started.

    * * * *

    Dark night, ruined building wrecks and straight asphalt. Then a sky without even a dot of cloud and with a bright full moon floating in the sky.

    Xiao Fang first looked around and checked the environment settings when the game started.

    “It’s a shame because the time is set at night, but there won’t be any problem because the full moon is bright.”

    He obtained all information about Immortal in various ways. And as a result, he found out that Immortal’s specialty was the ambush.

    There was a lot of analysis but eventually it was concluded that Immortal’s skills would be that of assassins.

    There were two common ways of dealing with assassins. The first was to find and attack the assassin first, and the second was to block the assassin’s attack and counterattack him.

    If he could, the first way was the best. However, it was hard to find the assassin when a similar level of users used Concealment, unless they had the means to break the enemy’s Concealment.

    So, of course, Xiao Fang chose the second method.

    It was because his Ancient Knowledge had an outstanding defensive ability.

    Among the three Ancient Knowledges that he has, he showed and used only two of them, which are the ‘Steel Dragon Miracle’ and ‘Strong Dragon Law Fist’.

    This combination could basically be classified as ‘Deal Tank’. The Deal Tank combination boasted a solid armor and was able to deal damage fairly well.

    Both Ancient Knowledges were the Ancient Knowledge which hard to find, and only a few of them knew that the synergy is maximized when the two are combined.

    This combination was called the ‘Strong Steel Dragon’ and it was a combination that was powerful enough to fit into the top 30 soul combination formulas to be revealed in the distant future.

    The disadvantage was only that there was no mobility skill so that the level of maneuverability drops. However, Xiao Fang was supplementing them with his third Ancient Knowledge. The third Ancient Knowledge of Xiao Fang, which was completely hidden…. It was the ‘Vampire Blood’.

    Among the Blood series Ancient Knowledge, this blood which belongs to the higher levels, was what Luo Yusheng had paid so much for.

    in Sang Hyuk’s past life it was rated higher than the Wyvern Blood, which was sold at auction, and it had some special soul skills that helped Xiao Fang solve the problem of maneuverability.

    Of course, this part was a secret.

    Luo Yusheng told Xiao Fang not to use the skills associated with the vampire blood before other people to use at this crucial moment.

    He did not care about the passive form abilities that other people cannot recognize, but the active abilities that other people would recognize as belonging to a third Ancient Knowledge, were completely sealed.

    “You can block even a strong ambush if you use the Strong Dragon Wall after spreading out the defense using the Steel Dragon Ordnance and equipping a shield using Steel Dragon Soul.”

    Xiao Fang was able to hold harder that any other tanker if he was determined to hold on. Of course, if he focused on defense like this, he had to give up the attack altogether, but if he was able to block the first ambush when facing the assassin, then the next thing was not that difficult.

    In fact, for this reason, assassin users did not like ‘Way of Proof’ much. It did not matter when neither side knew anything about the other, but it was very big problem if your opponent knew about you and came out like this.

    “Even if he use all of them like this, but I still have one left.”

    Xiao Fang was not just believing in his defensive strategy. A hidden trump card. If he used it, he could 100% disable things like ambushes.

    [Xiao Fang seems to be trying to defend first and fight back after that. When I observed him, Xiao Fang is a very powerful Deal Tank user. I do not know what abilities exactly he’s going to use, but I think he’s going to endure the ambush.]

    Jang Minho, who was in charge of the commentary, prepared while staying up almost every night for this game. Thanks to that, he had a lot to say.

    [So, in the end, can Xiao Fang be able to endure Immortal’s ambush?]

    Jeon Yongmin asked with a curious look.

    [It is advantageous if it was the usual case. It is true that ambush is almost meaningless for a defensive player. Honestly, ambush is not a good match for the ‘Way of Proof’. The place that is the best for ambush is the dungeon.]

    [It means that Xiao Fang wanted to endure it, right?]

    [Haha, you have to listen to the end. I just talked about the usual case…. now is different. From my conclusion, you won’t be able to hold back.]

    [Why is it like that? If it is Xiao Fang, isn’t he a recognized ranking user? If such a player intends to defend, it won’t be easy to get over it.]

    Jeon Yongmin and Jang Minho already had a few words so Jeon Yongmin reacted exactly as Jang Minho wanted.

    [It does not matter who the opponent is. The important thing is…. it is Immortal. He is different.]

    [Aren’t you thinking too one-sidedly? I know that all eight players who have entered the quarter-finals are all top level users with great skills. If so, even if he is Immortal, can he win it easily?]

    This was also what Jang Minho asked him to do in advance. In the end, he had to provoke him to make him talk so Jeon Yongmin’s reaction was necessary.

    [Immortal is different. I know that Xiao Fang has great ability, but what cannot be done, cannot be done.]

    Is it because it was too biased commentary?

    In the chat window that comes up real time, it started to say that the commentary sucked too much. However, Jang Minho stood firmly in his position.

    [Anyway, all viewers can check and see that what I said was right in about a minute.]

    Jang Minho spoke as if it was prophecy.

    And as he spoke, the space near Xiao Fang split horribly and one black blade came out.

    There was almost no surprise because it was the scene that was actually expected by everyone.

    Of course, Xiao Fang, who had strong defense posture, was not surprised at all. He used the ‘Strong Dragon Wall’ right away and lifted both of his fists up to the front.

    Strong Dragon Wall and Steel Dragon Soul reduce the damage as much as possible and the damage that has penetrated it is blocked through enhance defense by the Steel Dragon Ordnance.

    This was Xiao Fang’s idea.

    Xiao Fang thought that Immortal was able to win against Line Dark because the battlefield was a dungeon.

    The dungeon was the best battlefield for the assassin.

    But Way of Proof was different. The assassin could not use much power here.

    So Xiao Fang believed that he could destroy Immortal with his own hand.

    But his belief now at this moment….. is broken.

    Jjojojong! Kwakwakwang!

    The black blade just touches and made the Strong Dragon Wall and Steel Dragon Soul vanish. The two skills, that Xiao Fang thought as the hardest defense, have disappeared as quickly as a bursting soap bubble.

    Fortunately, Xiao Fang’s senses were keen.

    If the Xiao Fang’s sense had fallen, he would not have been able to react and would have been swept away by the black blade in a second, but Xiao Fang was not like that at all.

    He used a number of his treasured skills when he felt the danger.

    Vampire Blood’s soul skills ‘Swarm of Bats’

    It was a skill to instantly turn his body into hundreds of bats and shed 80% of the damage.

    The cooldown time was 3 days and if he use it, he will not be able to use all the power of the Vampire Blood for three days, so it was not a skill that he can use thoughtlessly, but now first he need to live and see the rest.

    Phaphaphaphat!

    Xiao Fang thought that when his body turned into hundreds of bats, he could endure the ambush, so he was thinking about the counterattack.

    Nope, he just wanted to think about it.

    Theoretically, Swarm of Bats was able to withstand any attack. Obviously it was theoretically.

    But unfortunately, Xiao Fang’s opponent was not an opponent bound by theory or common sense.

    The Outlier…..

    The non-standard existence used all his power and the black blade swallowed up the entire swarm of bats.

    Xiao Fang could not be an Immortal’s opponent in the first place.

    Immortal was much much much stronger than what people thought.
