Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Lu Wei turned around slightly and saw the warlock from the Wuji team. She immediately started to move, because it was unwise to charge straight at a ranged class. Tang Rou's previous match had already demonstrated this point well. After all, a straight-line movement path is too easy to predict, not to mention that the opponent is a warlock class known for its control.

A flaw can be fleeting!
The moment he saw Qiao Jingjing's reeds begin to sway around him, Wuji Sorcerer knew he had missed the best opportunity to strike first. But it was too late to regret it now. He still needed to stay close and, as soon as he saw his opponent start to move, immediately look around for any openings he could use to gain leverage.

However, the other Wuji players saw Wuji's actions as overly cautious, which was actually the same mistake He Anfang made in the previous match. But since they were in a competition, they couldn't very well remind him.

The two characters are now facing each other head-on. Amidst the sea of ​​flowers on this map, the two dark-themed classes meet instantly with a single glance. The distance between them is not far, but eight minutes have already passed since the start of the match.

So much so that even the cheers and messages from the audience have disappeared. There's no way around it; you have to understand that in this match, it wasn't just Wuji's Warlock who was playing cautiously, but Qiao Jingjing was also playing very cautiously.

Qiao Jingjing was so cautious because warlocks are a dangerous class due to their numerous control skills, so it's best to stay as close as possible. This is evident in Wei Chen's weapon, Death's Hand, whose additional attributes were boosted to +5 thanks to the combined efforts of Xiao Nai and Wei Chen. Wei Chen has boasted about this to them more than once, demonstrating just how crucial distance is for warlocks.

Both sides were being extremely cautious, and they could have met much earlier. However, both felt the opportunity wasn't right and chose not to leave their cover, instead continuing to evade and maneuver. This dragged out the match by a full eight minutes before their first encounter. Even this meeting was purely accidental. This resulted in the somewhat comical way the two players looked around each other earlier, giving the impression that they were moving back to back, clearly not seeing each other despite the other being right behind them due to the angle of view.

Now that the two sides have met, and there is nothing unusual around them, Qiao Jingjing directly controls her character to rush forward.

Given the current distance between the two sides, Qiao Jingjing has a slight advantage. After all, because of the opponent's cautious move, Qiao Jingjing reacted first and was already within the opponent's skill range, and now she is even closer.

Even if Wuji players are cautious, they have no time to pay attention to Qiao Jingjing who is charging towards them. If they don't make a move now, when will they?

Qiao Jingjing was no ordinary assassin after all. She swung her hands repeatedly, throwing several shurikens at the sorcerer, using instant-cast skills to restrain his attacks.

While facing Qiao Jingjing's attack, it was impossible for Wuji's sorcerer to be harmed at this distance, but as he dodged and countered, Qiao Jingjing had already closed the distance a little again.

Upon seeing this, Wuji Warlock subconsciously recalled the result of being approached by his opponent in the previous match, and felt a sudden panic, but still managed to unleash a low-level instant spell, Dark Soul Wave.

Dark Soul Wave, a low-tier Warlock skill, releases a purplish-black energy ball with a relatively slow movement speed. The ball exhibits a degree of self-guided movement when near an enemy unit, but this is very limited, merely a slight adjustment in its trajectory. Upon hitting an enemy unit, it attaches to the unit, dealing continuous dark damage over three seconds in an explosive burst.

But Qiao Jingjing immediately spotted the opponent's skill, and with a flash of light, she moved from in front of the dark sphere to behind it, pulling the opponent into her attack range.

Qiao Jingjing starts with her level 30 skill, "Chasing Life." Chasing Life: The character leaps into the air, spinning and using her dual swords to slash while grabbing opponents in her path. Using centrifugal force, she slams the grabbed enemy into the ground, creating a shockwave. This skill can be used in the air. If the skill hits an enemy's back, the shockwave's power and range are increased. When using the skill on the ground, it allows for a longer jump distance; the directional keys adjust the distance and Y-axis movement. When using this skill in the air, it will slam the enemy into the ground directly in front of her. Chasing Life can also be used in the air during a backflip.

Qiao Jingjing used her skill to leap up from the ground, then slashed down with her twin swords at the Wuji sorcerer, her body spinning as she did so, grabbing at the sorcerer directly.

The Wuji Sorcerer no longer had time to use his incantation skills and could only attack while leaping backward, attempting to interrupt Qiao Jingjing's offensive. However, Qiao Jingjing managed to change her angle during the attack, managing to evade the Wuji Sorcerer's strike. She then caught up with the leaping Wuji Sorcerer, executing a series of slashes in mid-air before impaling him on the ground with her twin blades.

This wasn't the end. Qiao Jingjing used one foot as a pivot point to start spinning her body again, causing her two swords to spin in a tornado – the assassin skill Blade Storm.

Blade Storm: Spins to create a huge storm that sucks enemies in and deals continuous non-elemental blade damage. When using [Final Strike], it will deal non-elemental physical damage and launch enemies into the air.

Qiao Jingjing used this skill to force the Wuji Sorcerer to get up, and with a final leap, she knocked the tornado and the Wuji Sorcerer into the air together. Finally, she added an upward leap from below, which was the assassin's low-level floating skill, Soaring Strike.

Soaring Strike: Slashes the enemy from bottom to top, launching them into the air. While activated, the user is immune to super armor. When used as a finishing move, it adds an enhancement effect to attack power, strength, and movement speed.

After using these skills in succession, Qiao Jingjing had accumulated several points for Finishing Strike. She then used Finishing Strike again, and the other sword in her twirls like a miniature whirlwind, following Qiao Jingjing's attack trajectory, spinning and slicing upwards. She once again sent the Wuji Sorcerer flying. However, Qiao Jingjing landed first, and before her opponent could land, she began applying buffs to herself.

Assassination Creed!

Assassination Creed: Focus increases critical hit rate and critical hit damage. The Assassin's Five Virtues: Patience, Concentration, Ruthlessness, Perseverance, and Mission First. By the Assassin's Law.

As Qiao Jingjing's critical hit rate and critical hit damage increased, her offensive became even more aggressive, and she slashed her sword directly at the warlock who had just gotten up.

Faced with Qiao Jingjing's close-range attack, the Wuji Warlock was once again trapped in a forbidden zone where he could hardly defend himself. There was no way around it; although the Warlock's control was excellent, he was ultimately a ranged class, and melee combat was his inherent disadvantage.

As Qiao Jingjing continued her attacks with her twin swords, the Wuji Sorcerer's health points steadily decreased, and for a moment the situation seemed poised to mirror the previous round... (End of Chapter)
