Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

[Lin You: Here we come!]

Lin You found a comfortable position and lay down.

While watching the Flame Spirit curl up like a bagel and fast asleep, I opened the spectator page.

[Hint: Player "Tyren" invites you to join the "Hall of Fame" team's temporary channel]

Using his status as a substitute member of the team, Lin You joined the competition channel that only participating members could access.

[Note: Alternate member "Lin You" has joined the channel]

The channel was very quiet.

It's clear that Tyronn's team has good discipline.

Lin You glanced at the team member list and found that Lu Yuan was also on it.

It seems he's quite capable, being chosen by Tyron to participate in such an important competition.

[Tyron: This is Lin You. He has cooperated with our alliance many times, so you should be familiar with him. I won't go into details.]

[Tyron: Lin You will provide additional tactical explanations in the channel for the upcoming matches, so please keep an eye out.]

[Lu Yuan: Yes, boss]

[Tyron: Lin You, is there anything else you want to ask?]

[Lin You: No, but is it allowed to do that according to the competition rules?]

Because she had just been questioned, Lin You was somewhat sensitive to this kind of trickery.

[Tyren: This is within the rules. Of course, if the skill gap is too large, even having 10 substitutes won't help.]

Lin You: That's all then.

[Tyron: Alright, the match will begin in 15 minutes. Our opponents are the "Whirlwind Men" team. Get ready...]

Whirlwind Men Team?

Upon hearing the team name, Lin You's expression suddenly became subtle.

"This deviates from a sophisticated naming style..."

"It's definitely that 'Spinning Top' team!"

As it turned out, this was indeed the case.

[Team Competition Elimination Round 648]

【Hall of Fame Team vs. Whirlwind Men Team】

The battle is about to begin!

Two five-person teams appeared on the spectator page.

Lin You looked closely and spotted a somewhat familiar face.

"Spinning Top...it really is him."

"The people next to him are probably his friends or teammates."

Lin You was deeply impressed by these people during their last encounter.

Although it's not exactly a proper impression.

Lin You glanced at the status of the "Whirlwind Men" team.

All of them were level 30, and all of them were melee classes, living up to their team name.

On the other hand, the members of the "Hall of Heroes" are perfectly matched, or rather, pragmatic.

Tyrannosaurus is a versatile class that can tank, deal damage, and buff.

Lu Yuan appears to be his second-in-command, also a warrior-type class.

The remaining members are an archer, a mage, and a priest.

"He's even a priest who believes in 'Silva,' how professional."

Seeing the professional notes of the pastors, Lin You nodded secretly.

In reality, priesthood does not require a genuine commitment to faith.

However, when changing jobs, you will choose a god to worship in order to obtain different divine spells.

"Silva" is the goddess of life, and is the deity worshipped by races such as mermaids, tree spirits, and flower fairies.

Priests who believe in the goddess of life possess remarkable healing abilities and play a significant role in a team.

This perfect combination of professional players suggests that even without Lin You, the Hero Hall of Fame team could handle the situation.

"but……"

Lin You recalled the previous battle and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Although the Whirlwind Men team has a lopsided lineup, its ability to break through is extremely strong."

"It all depends on whether Tyron can withstand their offensive."

[Prompt: Battle begins!]

With a simple command from Tyronn in the team chat.

The members of the Hall of Heroes immediately deployed into formation and launched an attack in an orderly manner.

The priest cast buffs, the archer drew his bow, the mage chanted incantations, and the two melee fighters, Tyrion and Lu Yuan, stood at the front.

Everything seemed so well-organized...

Until the five members of the Whirlwind Fierce Men suddenly launched a thunderous leap without any strategy.

[Leap Strike: Leap into the air, landing to damage and knock back enemies with your weapon.]

[Additional Information: This skill will always stun an enemy when it hits a character at full health]

"Brothers! Let's show those guys what our melee prowess is!"

With a roar, the whirlwind top leaped high into the air, taking the lead and wielding its giant sword to slash at Tyrion.

[Lin You: Priest, prepare your crowd control removal skill. React quickly and cast it immediately after Leap Strike ends.]

"what?"

The priest in the Hall of Heroes looked bewildered; logically, only Tyron had the authority to command.

"Listen to him!"

Tyrion didn't bother to speak in the channel; he raised his shield to block the greatsword's aerial slash.

A powerful impact traveled through the shield into his arm, making him see stars.

Seeing this, the spinning top skillfully tried to deliver another heavy blow.

Looking up, he saw a refreshing emerald light rising from Tyron's body, relieving his dizziness.

clang!

Tyron swung his shield forcefully, knocking back the enemy in front of him, but then heard a series of whooshing sounds coming from mid-air.

[Lin You: Those in the back should maintain a distance of more than 15 meters; be careful of being suddenly attacked.]

This time, without Tyronn's prompting, the remaining members of the Hero Hall of Fame team retreated.

Nonsense, anyone would run away if they saw four menacing men wielding double weapons jumping towards them.

"Boss! I'm here to lend you a hand!"

After landing, one of the burly men let out a low growl, and a phantom image of a flag appeared in his hand, which he then slammed into the ground.

In an instant, a stirring battle song echoed through the arena.

[Battle Banner: Place a banner with an aura effect that grants your allies "Battle Spirit" when hit in melee combat. The higher the Battle Spirit, the greater the bonus provided by the banner.]

"good!"

The spinning top was not discouraged by its failed attack.

Instead, he laughed heartily, held the greatsword in his hand upright in front of him, and assumed a charging stance.

Then, he spun and flew out like a spring.

Whirlwind Slash!

"I knew it."

Seeing this all-too-familiar move, Lin You didn't know whether to laugh or complain.

This time he didn't say anything to remind them, after all, the commotion was too obvious, and the people in the Hall of Heroes weren't stupid.

"I'll keep him in check."

Tyron quickly issued combat orders and then approached the small spinning top that was casting Whirlwind Slash.

"Wait, something's not right..."

Lin You was originally quite confident in Tyron's ability to withstand beatings.

But after the two collided, a new status effect that suddenly appeared on Tyron caught his attention.

[Pierce (3 stacks): This unit has been pierced. When attacked, the piercing effect will deal 10% of the physical damage dealt by the piercing hit to the enemy. Each stack of piercing lasts for 5 hits.]

"Melee attacks have this kind of mechanic?"

After quickly reviewing the piercing effect, Lin You swiftly opened the team channel.

[Lin You: Tyron, don't try to tank it. Don't let him find an opportunity to trigger the piercing effect on your body!]

The moment that sentence was sent.

Tyronn's health plummeted like a balloon with a hole punctured!

But at the same time, his shield also burst forth with dazzling lightning, drawing down brilliant bolts of lightning from the sky!

"Counterattack skill..."

Lin You rubbed her eyes in surprise; the light was rather dazzling.

"I didn't expect this guy to have this trick up his sleeve."

"The high-frequency attacks of Whirlwind Slash can trigger counterattacks frequently."

"Tyron came prepared."

The thunderstorm triggered by Tyron instantly wiped out most of the health points of the Whirlwind Warriors team members.

After withstanding the first wave of attacks, the Hero Hall team gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battle and began to fight back.

The scales of victory ultimately tipped in favor of the heroes.

However, the Whirlwind Men Team was also very heroic, with each member fighting to the very last moment while laughing.

"What an amazing team..."

Lin You shook her head helplessly.

"But it's also rare to have so many brothers working together with me."

……

The 31st floor of the Inner Earth, Lin Yuan City.

Some unknown underground area.

"After today, the Star of the Earth competition will enter its second phase."

"How many of our people have infiltrated?"

"Almost all of them were shortlisted."

"Only three unlucky guys failed the preliminary selection. When I get back, I'll send them to the most brutal battlefield."

"No need. Let's use what we have here as offerings for the resurrection of the gods."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After his men had all left.

The priest of the Cult of Gods, clad in a dark robe, suddenly let out a cold snort.

"Although we are now in a cooperative relationship, it doesn't mean you can eavesdrop on my meetings at will."

A figure dressed in black appeared out of thin air, speaking with a slightly lazy tone.

"You can rest assured, I have no interest in junk information that can't be sold for a good price."

"I'm just here to let you know... The Clay Sculptor has just made some adjustments to the Secret Realm where the competition will be held tomorrow."

"He seems to have discovered your clandestine activities."

"It's alright."

Upon hearing this, the priest of the Worshiping God Sect spoke calmly.

"Even the weakest god's power cannot be limited by mere legends."

"Really? Then I wish you all the best with your plans."

The black figure waved its hand and turned to walk into the shadows.

"I'd love to see that too..."

"Can you really tame a 'god'?"
