Behind Mr. Fang, the audience watched with widened eyes.

“How come her weapon sparkles with spiritual light?!”

“Dazzling! Is it an ultimate weapon!?”

“She is wearing a whole set of a fashionable outfit!” Song Qingfeng exclaimed.

Judging from her hairstyle, clothes, jewelry, boots, and even skin tone and lip gloss, everything was new and fancy from the shop.

They didn’t know if she had other things reinforced, but just this purple weapon with level 8 reinforcement and her new outfit made her attributes and properties much higher than those of ordinary players.

Then, they looked at Mr. Fang.

His blue hand cannon looked dim in color, which showed clearly that it hadn’t been reinforced.

Wearing the default gunner’s dark purple windbreaker and the goggles, he didn’t have a single new piece of clothing on him. In fact, even his hair was white, which was the default as well.

He looked as poor as a refugee.

“Is the shop owner in the dojo?” Quite a few people walked up to watch him play.

“What are you doing here in a crowd?” The masters of the ancient families who were discussing minor issues were drawn to this crowd as well.

Standing in the back of the group, they had to crane their necks to watch.

“Ugh.” Seeing his family master coming over, Tang Yu immediately answered with respect, “Mr. Fang is going to fight in the dojo.”

Pungjin’s dojo was big enough to contain several basketball courts.

While two players fought in a duel, the other players could watch on the second floor. No one could disturb the fight on the first floor.

On the screen, the referee had begun the countdown. Then, the duel began after that.

Sia slashed her blade, and the great sword with blazing light and flames transformed into a sky-blue long saber that had a handle which looked to be made of ice crystal!

Elemental Shift!

By harnessing the power of her demon hand, the swordmaster could turn her sword into one of the four elemental magic swords, including fire, water, light, shadow. After the transformation, the weapon would be more powerful than before.

It looked fancy and magnificent!

The moment that this ice water sword appeared, a long wave of sword energy shot toward Fang Qi, who was a launcher right now.

Flying Tips! It was the most common initiation skill for noblesses. Although the damage of the spirit swords wasn’t high, their attack range was longer than other skills. Even when battling opponents from a distance, they wouldn’t be at a big disadvantage.

“Can the shop owner win the duel?” The few family masters didn’t look like they had confidence in Fang Qi.

Faced with an opponent with a reinforced purple weapon and powerful skills, Mr. Fang looked to be at the disadvantage.

It must be noted that purple equipment contained magic power, which could make players move and attack faster (increasing movement speed and attack speed).

With such purple equipment on her, if she attacked first, Fang Qi wasn’t her match; he could only dodge.

Fortunately, the attack range of Flying Tips wasn’t as long as gunners. As if he had predicted her move, Fang Qi leapt into the air and dodged the Flying Tips with ease.

However, before he could take a breath, he heard a yell, “Swift Sword!”

A blurry sword shadow shot toward the place where Fang Qi would land.

His opponent was swift and sharp, not giving him any chance to regain his footing. With his momentum, Mr. Fang would undoubtedly land into this Swift Sword.

“She is using the killing strike so soon?!”

“Maybe she wants to kill the shop owner instantly with this move!”

The horrifying damage of Swift Sword and Sia’s weapon could instantly kill a group of ordinary monsters in dungeons on and below Expert Difficulty Level. If such a combination landed on a player, the consequences would be severe.

Calmly, Mr. Fang shot his hand cannon forward twice.

Fang Qi’s launcher character flew backward under the huge recoil force of the two shots.

“Aerial-Fire? Flying with guns!”

“No… No.” Song Qingfeng stared at the screen intently. “The shop owner is holding a hand cannon; it should be called flying with cannons!”

In a flash, Mr. Fang fired his hand cannon several times.

The sword and the firing cannon exchanged several rounds of attacks in the blink of an eye.

“Illusion Sword!”

“Flash!”

All kinds of spiritual swords swept across the dojo; it looked as if the noblesse was a long-range subclass instead of Fang Qi’s launcher character

“The shop owner seems to be suppressed!” Some people watching looked more worried than Mr. Fang.

“This female slayer’s equipment is too good!” Mu Qing said indignantly.

At this moment, Mr. Fang said, “Her sword techniques are okay, but she is dressed too fancily. I hope you guys won’t copy her style.”

“Swift Sword!” Obviously, his opponent had acute battle awareness and soon detected Fang Qi’s next move. Therefore, she used Swift Sword again!

The audience felt like they had an illusion! At that moment, Mr. Fang’s launcher character seemed to be split into two figures while the Swift Sword pierced between them!

“Is it… Z-Shake?!”

“Not Z-Shake! Z-Shake is used when charging forward! Right now, Mr. Fang did it on spot!”

“How did he do it?!” The audience froze at this moment.

After a while, someone finally understood the previous scene and said, “It was an afterimage left by the Enforce Skill; the shop owner had predicted her move and tricked her Swift Sword with the afterimage that the Enforce Skill left!”

[TL Note: Enforce seems to be a mechanism in the older version of Dungeon Fighter Online and doesn’t exist in the new version. In the old version, the skills that had ‘enforce’ properties can override another skill in command order and be used right away. Otherwise, the character would execute the skills in the order that player input into the system.]

The Basic Attack Cancelable Skill system was widely used in Dungeon Fighter Online. Regardless of what the player was using, it would be interrupted and leave an afterimage when canceled.

The system version also had skill that had enforce property. This property is a special method for canceling forces. In one instant, the character could remove all the momentum of the previous move and use the next move at the same time, naturally leaving a strange afterimage in the previous spot.

This was a visual deception. Under the effect of momentum, Fang Qi looked to be charging forward, but he had retreated.

While the strike passed by Fang Qi, he lifted his hand cannon and fired.

“The shop owner is fighting back!” Due to the great speed and power of Swift Sword, the enforce mechanism couldn’t be used. It meant that Mr. Fang was going to hit his target for sure!

“It is only an attack from an ordinary hand cannon; it won’t inflict much damage, right?” Some people didn’t have high hopes for this move.

However, the explosion created by the hand cannon sent Sia flying upward!

Rising Shot!

The magic power attached to the bullet could make the opponent lose balance and send them flying in mid-air!

Although she didn’t fly high, it was high enough. While firing the hand cannon, Fang Qi didn’t look up to see if his opponent were hit. Instead, he slid over with a sliding tackle.

With this sliding tackle, Fang Qi was now right below Sia.

“Did the Cannon Ball miss the target?!” The audience said in surprise when they saw the cannonball from the Cannon Ball pass his opponent. “Is that a miss?!”

“No! It didn’t miss!”

On the screen, Fang Qi instantly drew out the flamethrower!

The moment the flames shot out, he turned it off and put it away.

The audience saw Sia flying backward and crashing onto the exploding cannon ball on the floor, which sent her flying into the fire that Mr. Fang had just shot out!

“Grenade plus hand cannon plus enforced backstep?!” Sia had been sent flying backward by the huge force of Fang Qi’s hand cannon, but now she was flying back toward Fang Qi involuntarily!

In the original version, this was the standard play of Cannon Ball pull-back. Its theory was easy to understand, and it could be used in the virtual reality version.

She flew past Fang Qi’s head toward the space behind him.

Sia was sent flying outward by Fang Qi’s combo. Then, the anti-tank shell exploded, sending her flying back again like a puppet!

“My goodness!”

“F*ck!”

“Unbelievable!”

“She lost half of her HP already!” someone yelled in surprise.

“Let… put me down!” The girl whose face was covered in blood flailed her arms and legs in the air, feeling frustrated.

Let me down if you dare! Take my strike!
