MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1196: Purity’s Spearmanship

“…”

Wang Yu commented, “Pardon me for my straightforwardness but these people have all practiced martial arts since they were young. With only so little time left, even if I were to teach you personally, you all still wouldn’t be their match. Plucking the power cable out of their gaming cabin is an even more practical solution than this.”

“That makes sense…”

Everyone suddenly came to a realisation and said simultaneously, “Plucking the power source is a good idea.”

“???”

When the staff members, who have been standing by the side all these while, heard their words, they all panicked in their heart. Following which, they stared at the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect and asked, “What did you guys say?”

“Haha!”

When the people from Quan Zhen Sect realised that there were people listening on them, they hurriedly passed it off as a joke and said, “It’s just a joke.”

Shortly after, Fearless asked, “Old Bull, as a martial arts practitioner yourself, can you share with us what are the weaknesses of these martial artists?”

Wang Yu waved his hand and put on an act, saying, “I’m sorry, I have no weaknesses.”

“Stop being shameless! Hurry up and say it!” Everyone raged upon hearing Wang Yu’s words.

“If I really have to point out a weakness…” Wang Yu fondled his chin and said, “The Pugilist belongs to the agility based job classes. Thus, their HP and defense aren’t considered too high and they are rather weak against control abilities. If we are able to pull off some successful control abilities on them, even if they were to charge at us all together, it would be useless.”

“Control?”

“That’s right!” Wang Yu nodded his head and said, “Did you guys not notice that all of them are Pugilists?”

“This… that’s true.” Fearless was momentarily stunned before adding, “I almost forget that the bunch of them were all Pugilists.”

Teamwork and cooperation are extremely important not just in <<REBIRTH>>, but in all online games. Every job class has its own unique traits, thus the job class composition is extremely crucial in every team.

In every viable team, there has to be a healer, a tanker, a controller, and a damage dealer. If any of these roles were to be left out, a weakness would inevitably surface within the team.

If every player were to select their job class based on how overpowered they were in a one vs one fight, there would probably be over 90% of the players playing the Assassin job class in <<REBIRTH>>.

Even though a Pugilist might seem like a jack of all trades, it did not have any areas in which it especially excels in. And because of this, there were also many flaws with this job class.

Even if Purity and the rest were extremely skilled in the game, if they only comprised of Pugilists, they would be unable to make up for the shortcomings in such a simple team composition.

Thinking up till this point, the people from Quan Zhen Sect felt a little better in their hearts. They left the strategy room in high spirits and went back to their own respective seats.

There was a saying that knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and you would be undefeated in all battles. Even if they knew of Purity and his team’s weakness, they still had to gain a certain understanding of them.

At this moment, the match had just started and the person standing in the arena was Nian Liuyun. The audience were cheering frantically wave after wave, seeming as if they wanted to lift the entire roof off the arena.

Wang Yu and the rest were feeling extremely gloomy, the reaction from the audience was too exaggerated… could it be that the bought the audience over with money?

Of course, what the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect didn’t know was that when it was their turn to compete, the audience’s scoldings were even more exaggerated.

After the few of them returned to their seats, at this moment, Nian Liuyun had also just quickly dispatched off his opponent of the stage.

At the same time, the voice of the emcee reverberated throughout the venue, “In the first round of the competition, Team Pugilists Don’t Cry won with a resounding victory of 5:0.”

“Pfft!”

Upon hearing the host’s words, Evil Rampage, who was drinking from his cup, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of water at the heads of the row of audience in front of him. He said absentmindedly, “F*ck, the first five matches have already finished? How could it be this fast?”

At this moment, the players to the side of Evil Rampage excitedly replied to him, “That’s right, it was that fast! This team Pugilist Don’t Cry is too amazing!”

“Is that for real?” Evil Rampage exclaimed, as sweat started dripping down from his forehead.

From the moment Purity and his team entered the gaming cabin, to the time the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect returned to their seats amongst the audience, only a short 5 minutes had passed.

To be able to finish five matches within five minutes… such a feat was only possible if every match was a one-hit kill scenario…?

“Of course it’s true!” That player replied excitedly, “If I had known that Pugilists were so overpowered, I would have chosen this job class right from the very start.”

As he was speaking, he gave another look to Evil Rampage and said, “I envy you… you still have a chance.”

“What chance?” Evil Rampage asked cluelessly.

“A chance to be their disciple…”

“F*ck!”

At the same time, Wang Yu, Fearless and the rest from Quan Zhen Sect had all learnt of the details of the matches from the other players in the audience.

The location was the same as Quan Zhen Sect’s match, and they fought in an arena.

However, the difference was that Purity and the rest did not employ any underhanded tactics at all, and without exception, all of the opponents were sent flying off the stage within seconds after the matches had just begun.

With their exceptional speed and vicious means, they had left all of the audience gaping in awe.

Just when everyone was still recovering from their shock, the round-robin had just begun.

After a round of selection, Purity, who was holding onto her large spear, was teleported onto the competition venue.

This time around, the match venue had changed to that of a gladiator ring. Even though the area was much bigger as compared to the previous elevated stage, the vision of the surroundings was equally broad and unobstructed.

Purity’s opponent was a brute Guardian with an extremely broad build. He had an extremely valiant look on his face and the shield that he was carrying was glowing brightly in his hand, one look and anyone could tell that it wasn’t an ordinary item. The moment the countdown ended, the Guardian immediately charged towards Purity.

Purity stood on the same original spot, with her huge spear positioned behind her back, as she stared icily at the oncoming Warrior.

Just when the Warrior was no more than three metres away from Purity, she gently leapt behind, and with both hands holding onto her spear, she thrust at the bottom of the Warrior and followed up with a wide arc upwards, throwing the warrior into the air.

“This… this technique looks familiar.” The players from Quan Zhen Sect all looked at Wang Yu, recalling that Wang Yu himself had once used a similar technique before.

Wang Yu smiled and said, “The [Green Dragon Dances in the Water], one of the final techniques of the Li Family’s spearmanship…”

As they were speaking, Purity had taken took two quick steps to her front, going around the shield of the Warrior and arriving behind him. With her spear held upright, she thrust it viciously upwards into the air at the Warrior that was still suspended in midair.

“Pssh!”

Purity’s spear landed on its target accurately, piercing between the two butt cheeks of the Warrior…

“Sii…”

Upon seeing this scene, everyone’s butt clenched up as they sucked in a breath of cold air. They looked at Purity in a strange manner.

In <<REBIRTH>>, when a player is thrown mid-air, it is possible for them to recover themselves. The Warrior wasn’t an amateur either, and all it took was to adjust his balance in the air to cancel this [Airborne] status. However, Purity’s method was simply too vicious. The Warrior that had been stabbed in the butt was already frightened witless, how would he still be able to recover himself.

At this moment, Purity held onto the end of the spear with both arms, and ruthlessly flung it downwards. The poor Warrior was heavily thrown onto the ground, and a circle of stars emerged above his head, seeming as if he had been stunned from the fall.

Purity calmly walked towards the Warrior and stepped on his arm. With the huge spear in her hands, she aimed at the back of the Warrior’s head, before ruthlessly slamming the spear down.

“Boom boom boom boom!”

A chain of numbers soon emerged above the head of the Warrior, following which the Warrior turned into a white ray of light and vanished.

After eliminating the enemy, Purity once again held the spear behind her back without the slightest change in her expression, seeming as if whatever she just did was something insignificant.

“Hua!!”

After a short while, the audience once again burst out in a sea of cheers.
