What's unique is that in the arena mode, the participants are not decided by both sides at the same time, and there is no extra rest time after each battle.
The team that sends its first player to defend its title will definitely be the team that won the opening match, allowing the other team to make targeted arrangements.
Therefore, teams that win the opening match will try their best to avoid being dragged into overtime, otherwise their advantage will turn into a disadvantage in an instant.
Some teams even deliberately lose the opening match, then try to drag it into overtime, and then establish an advantage in one fell swoop, such as the Wish Society team.
Li Hui simply took out his staff, a rather strange-looking staff.
A gemstone is inlaid at the top, and the surrounding traces resemble the claws of a white dragon. Looking down from the top, the undulating wood seems to be gathering, waiting for the dragon's wings to take flight.
The dragon's head was where Li Hui gripped it, as if it were being bitten tightly by the staff.
But the most noticeable thing is the wind.
This staff is like the lord of ice and storms, choosing its prey to devour them, defying all logic by creating its own whirlwinds and stirring up crystalline snowflakes.
Even Li Hui's hand, which was holding the staff, was gently cut, but it kept healing under the witch's life force, in an endless cycle.
Jiang Kehan looked down at the necklace around her neck in surprise. There was absolutely no mistake!
Li Hui's staff and the necklace she gave herself were definitely made from materials stripped from a dragon, and were also personally crafted by Li Hui!
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but clutch the necklace, nervously praying for Li Hui.
Without a doubt, once Li Hui enters the arena, the opposing team will definitely send out Su Ying, who is capable of administering poison!
This is hardly a good thing. Jiang Kehan's mind is still in a daze, filled with nothing but thoughts of killing and lust.
Inside the dueling arena.
Li Hui squinted his eyes contentedly, yawned lightly, and looked like he didn't care whoever the other side sent.
Su Ying, who was walking slowly toward her, had a serious expression, and blood was dripping from her hand.
Surprisingly, the heretical faction, which excels in various rituals and even plundering methods, is the least reliant on staffs.
Their bodies are the best staffs.
"You've arrived?" Li Hui's lips curled into a smile, as if he had seen a white rabbit walking into a trap, and his pupils instantly locked onto Su Ying.
Su Ying took a deep breath, feeling a strange chill, as if she were being stared at by a proud dragon.
Looking at the elegant Li Hui, she thought to herself: Don't panic. No matter how difficult Li Hui is to deal with, or how low my advantage is, as long as I can poison her, this duel will be a tactical victory.
While quickly considering tactics, Su Ying kept her eyes fixed on Li Hui.
She is not good at head-on duels, and without additional environmental factors, it is a disadvantage for her from the start.
Therefore, we must never let Li Hui disappear from her sight for even a moment!
Gu Qingci, who was sitting directly above the dueling arena, stood up from her chair. She had a vivid memory of Li Hui, who had defeated her at the same level.
"Both sides have their badges ready, the match begins!"
A huge fireball was casually tossed from Gu Qingci's hand into the dueling arena. The moment the fireball hit the ground, Li Hui and Su Ying both moved!
Li Hui simply waved her staff lightly, and magic surged forth, but it wasn't a spell; rather, it was a witch's magic trick with a much faster casting speed.
Instantly, a gust of wind surged from the gem at the top of the staff, like the tail of a white dragon, and slammed straight down on Su Ying.
Su Ying moved quickly, her feet instantly leaving the ground as she dodged to the side, the blood in her hands spilling out and forming a flimsy shield.
But her shadow gradually began to dissolve, spreading towards Li Hui, overflowing with poison.
Su Ying's idea was simple: since she had already been poisoned, she would spread the poison throughout the entire dueling arena, leaving Li Hui nowhere to hide!
So all she has to do now is hold on until Li Hui is poisoned.
If she can't beat Li Hui, won't she live for more than 3 minutes?
The darkness brought by the poison transformed into a tyrannical confidence, and Su Ying couldn't control her instincts and also rushed towards Li Hui to kill him.
Fortunately, she was already used to it, so she simply went berserk, turning into an unkillable cockroach, making attack the best defense!
Moreover, although Su Ying's attack was not very powerful, it was still full of poison.
Li Hui, who was opposite her, was somewhat bored and walked straight towards Su Ying.
"I was unexpectedly underestimated." Li Hui smiled helplessly, as if he hadn't seen the treacherous pool of shadows beneath his feet, and casually waved his staff.
This time, ice crystals fell from the sky, and the extreme cold they contained gradually slowed down Su Ying's speed below.
But Su Ying couldn't care less about any of that at the moment. Her mind went blank as she stared at Li Hui, who had deliberately stepped into the poisonous abyss, and was stunned.
This was not what she had expected. Shouldn't Li Hui have avoided poison like the plague?!
Li Hui simply stomped his foot, splashing water as he stepped on the materialized shadow, and spoke indifferently.
"Who said the Poisonous Influence spell is exclusive to you?"
"If I want to avoid getting out of control due to a large dose of the virus, can't I just give myself a small dose first?"
"These things don't stack."
The reason why the spells of the Original Sin series are difficult to use in combat is that they cannot be stacked. Once you are hit by one, it is as if you have developed an antibody.
Furthermore, after being modified by the witch, the intensity of the original sin spells can be controlled by the amount of magic power invested.
Su Ying herself understood, but who else would have the time to learn such outdated magic?
Even this spell is expensive for a sophisticated person.
She also studied it because a prerequisite for a certain family-inherited magic technique was to learn how to use poison.
Clearly, Li Hui had no intention of explaining for her. With the surge of magic power, the staff in his hand transformed into a real dragon, roaring towards Su Ying!
The natural disaster has now become a reality.
Su Ying was like a fish or shrimp struggling in the waves, being pulled and gradually torn apart.
Li Hui's magical power was comparable to that of the witch, and for Su Ying, who had lost her main means of restraint, death came sooner than she had imagined.
The entire duel lasted thirty seconds, not a second more, not a second less.
Even a fool could see that Li Hui did it on purpose!
The members of the wishing society looked at each other and swallowed hard.
Chapter 272 A Dignified One-Man Kill Against Three (Part 2)
"Who among you can take on a fully-fledged Li Hui?"
Upon hearing this, even Su Ying, who had just been resurrected, turned her head away, speechless.
What's the difference between this and letting the big elbow win two and a half points?
If Li Hui and her group, severely hampered by the pernicious influence, could still see a chance to win, their objective has now changed.
From achieving victory itself to using all your strength to shake Li Hui, experience a thrilling battle!
There's nothing we can do; witches are just that twisted.
It's hard to describe witches with the word "morale," because they are not even afraid of death. They only rationally analyze whether the battle is worth fighting, and they don't care whether they will run away during the battle.
They can run faster than a cat ball.
For a witch, reason is the foundation for deciding whether to fight to the death, but...
Sometimes, even witches refuse to listen to reason.
Like now.
The members of the Wish Society stared at each other, their eyes blazing with fury, their faces contorted with rage.
They are vying for the chance to face off against Li Hui.
Duels are a good medicine for pursuing evolution. Just as Wei Yu said to Solita, they are not afraid of the enemy's strength, but rather they will feel sorry for the enemy's weakness.
How can you be so weak?
Now, how could they not be excited to have an opponent of the same level, even one whose magic power is only 300, slightly inferior to them, but whose strength is so incredible?!
This wasn't a low-level battle like Jiang Kehan's overwhelming force with massive magic power, according to Su Ying's opinion.
Let alone Jiang Kehan, even if you gave a dog that much magic, they might not be able to beat it.
But Li Hui was different; her battles were practically art, from the overall rhythm to the consumption of magic power, everything about her exuded elegance.
Fighting her is like a glutton encountering a delicacy of unparalleled beauty; it brings immense satisfaction to both body and mind. Moreover, one's strength will genuinely improve after the battle.
"Yun Yuexi, go ahead." Su Ying looked at the vice-captain who was suppressing her inner turmoil and gave a wry smile.
The poison has been neutralized, so it doesn't matter whether Jiang Kehan's performance is restricted or not. There is almost no hope of overcoming the mountain of Li Hui in front of them.
Yun Yuexi took a deep breath, her hand already gripping the heavy hammer tightly. After hearing Su Ying's instructions, she nodded eagerly and headed towards the dueling arena.
They were afraid that someone else would take this opportunity away from them.
Gu Qingci, watching from the commentary booth, was quite pleased with the scene. She had been laughed at for a long time by the wicked witch for losing to Li Hui at the same level.
The witches surfing the forums wouldn't care about Li Hui's strength; they only knew that even a great witch couldn't defeat a little witch.
Moreover, this forum itself is a gathering place for Gu Qingci's haters, most of whom are little witches and middle witches, and they can't see the details of her battle with Li Hui.
However, they will gradually fall silent as long as someone within their sphere of knowledge loses.
It wasn't because they themselves felt they couldn't beat Li Hui that they kept quiet; it was purely out of respect for the strong.
Because teasing Gu Qingci is also a silent way of belittling Li Hui.
In fact, among the more than 3.12 million witches and alien races in Pingjiang, Gu Qingci may have hundreds of thousands of haters, but she definitely has 3.12 million fans.
Everyone is a critic, but everyone is also her fan.
It's clear that the witch still harbors a strong admiration for the powerful; whether she's afraid of them is another matter entirely.
Gu Qingci was confident that after Li Hui's stunning victory in the overtime match, the witches who would challenge her to duels would be endless, and most of them would be stronger than Su Ying or Yun Yuexi.
"Both sides are in position, the match begins!"
As the fireball began, the heavy hammer in Yun Yuexi's hand emitted a dazzling light.
This is a spell that simply interferes with visual and magical perception, effectively preventing enemies from taking you down in one go during a buff.
But even after Yun Yuexi had completed all the enhancements, she still didn't see a single ranged spell aimed at her.
When she looked up, she saw that Li Hui was shining brightly, clearly because he had an overflowing amount of enhancement spells from the Su Zhu sect.
