Huo then stood in his team's arena area, and the other two teams each stepped forward as the champions. However, unlike the other two teams, the other two teams had their captains as champions.

"I'll go up and try first," Chouzi said, fiddling with the dagger in his hand, before dashing off to the arena of the first team.

The leader of the first squad was a young man in his twenties. Judging from his equipment, he should be a magic-based class, but it was unclear what type he was.

Just as Huo Huan was about to continue observing, a swordsman clad in armor stepped out from the second group and stood in front of Huo Huan.

"Hello, nice to meet you," the swordsman nodded slightly to Huo.

Huo nodded in response to Huo's greeting, saying, "Please give me your guidance."

"Watch out!" the swordsman warned, drawing his longsword and charging at Huo Huan with both hands.

Facing the swordsman's charge, Huo focused his mind slightly, spread his legs, raised his right fist, and punched the sword's edge.

A crisp "clang" rang out, and Huo's brute force not only interrupted the swordsman's charge but also knocked him back a distance.

The swordsman, gripping his trembling longsword, couldn't help but be astonished. Such immense power, such a formidable body! It seemed as if that last strike hadn't been aimed at a human, but rather at a giant dragon.

"No need for probing, just show your true skills." Huo withdrew his fist, his skin and flesh twitched, and the wounds on his fist quickly disappeared.

The swordsman remained silent, but his aura began to grow sharp.

They charged again, this time at a significantly faster pace.

"Moonlight Slash!" the swordsman shouted softly, and the longsword in his hand emitted a bright light, slashing down at Huo Huan like a full moon.

The sudden light made Huo squint. Instead of retreating, Huo ignoring the sword in the swordsman's hand and punched the swordsman in the chest.

With a "whoosh," the longsword cleaved down Huo Huan's left chest and extended all the way to his right abdomen, leaving a huge wound. Along the wound, one could even see Huo Huan's writhing internal organs.

The swordsman wasn't faring much better. Huo Huan's punch was not only incredibly heavy, but it also carried a strange internal force, causing the swordsman to wreak havoc without restraint.

As a result, in addition to broken bones, the swordsman's internal organs also suffered considerable damage, but overall, the swordsman's injuries were significantly less than Huo's.

He mobilized his own qi to expel the foreign force from his body, and the swordsman who had fallen to the ground straightened up to check on Huo Huan's injuries.

He knew the power of his own "Full Moon Slash" move, and Huo was bound to be seriously injured if he took a hit from him.

But when the swordsman got up and saw Huo Huan, he found that there was not a single scratch on the other's body, as if his attack had hit thin air.

How could this be? Seeing that Huo Huan was unharmed, the swordsman was filled with doubts. However, since the competition was still ongoing, he could only suppress his doubts for the time being and once again raised his longsword to attack Huo Huan.

Before figuring out the reason, the swordsman dared not trade blows again, and relied on his excellent swordsmanship to continuously deflect Huo's powerful punches.

Chapter 84 The Competition 2

The opponent wanted to maneuver and avoid direct confrontation, but Huo deliberately prevented them from doing so.

After exchanging a few blows, Huo had a pretty good idea of ​​his opponent's strength, so he immediately stopped holding back.

With the Blood Burning and Blood Escape activated, Huo Huan's entire body erupted in a cloud of blood mist, and he charged straight at the swordsman like a blood-red wolf.

"Looks good!" The swordsman was startled and barely managed to raise his longsword to block Huo Huan's powerful punch.

The crisp metallic clang rang out again, and this time, before the swordsman's numbness in his hands could subside, Huo Huan's second punch followed.

With a "pfft," the brute force was transmitted through the armor into the body, causing the swordsman to involuntarily open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.

But Huo's offensive had only just begun; a barrage of punches rained down on the swordsman's armor like wolf bites.

Considering it was just a competition, Huo did not attack the opponent's vital points. Even so, Huo's overwhelming offensive rendered the opponent unable to fight back.

Milky white healing light descended from the sky and entered the swordsman's body, quickly healing most of his injuries.

"I lost." The swordsman stood up, sheathed his sword, nodded to Huo, and returned to his group.

The swordsman's strength is not bad; he has superb swordsmanship, aura that can enhance attack and defense, and several powerful sword techniques. Perhaps he also has hidden trump cards that he has not yet used.

But Huo Huan did not use his full strength. In fact, under Huo Huan's suppression, the swordsman was unable to fully exert his strength, which shows that Huo Huan was much stronger than the swordsman.

After defeating the swordsman, Huo successfully defended his title, and his team's score increased by 1.

Each team's champion who successfully defends their title gains +1 point, while the challenger gains +1 point. Each challenger can challenge other teams' champions once, and the final score is used to determine which team wins.

Compared to the other team members, Huo Huan's endurance was significantly higher than the other four. Therefore, when Huo Huan proposed to defend his title, his teammates did not object. Moreover, the final score was calculated based on the total score, not just Huo Huan's.

Watching the swordsman's departing figure, Huo stood still, quietly waiting for the next challenger.

The second challenger has yet to appear, which is obviously because Huo Huan's previous performance made others hesitate. His strong physique is secondary; the main concern is that they don't know just how strong Huo Huan's recovery ability is.

The swordsman didn't see it clearly, but the surrounding players could see it clearly. The injuries that would be fatal or serious to an ordinary player disappeared from Huo Huan in less than a second, which was even more exaggerated than the trolls known for their regenerative abilities.

"Wow, that's outrageous! Is this guy some kind of god? Why don't you go up and give it a try?" A player watching nudged his teammate, who was holding a dagger, with his elbow and urged him on.

"Why don't you go yourself?" the assassin player asked, glancing at his teammate who was urging him on.

"Look at the blood mist that just burst from his body. He must have used a self-harming skill. Perhaps his strategy is to go all out and quickly take down one person, making us hesitate and dare not challenge him. Maybe he is already on his last legs, just putting on a calm and collected act."

Hearing his teammate say that, the assassin player hesitated.

On second thought, since it was just a friendly sparring match anyway, and I would have failed if I didn't participate, I might as well go all out and test the opponent's true strength.

With that thought in mind, the assassin player didn't hesitate any longer. After giving himself a pep talk, he resolutely stood on the arena.

Please give me your guidance.

The assassin player nodded and disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye, saying "Please give me your guidance."

As the assassin went invisible, everything around him seemed to become silent. Huo concentrated and activated his extraordinary perception, but unexpectedly failed to find the invisible assassin player.

It's safe to say that he's a professional at stealth. Huo doesn't have a good way to deal with stealthy assassin players unless he uses Dragon Breath to sweep them away.

Seeing that Huo was still standing there without making any further moves, the assassin player knew that the other party had failed to see through his stealth, and immediately felt relieved and circled around to Huo's back.

The assassin's stealth skills were undoubtedly quite good; there wasn't even the slightest sound of wind breaking when he swung his dagger. It wasn't until the dagger touched his back that Huo belatedly realized that the other party was attacking him.

Seeing his opponent take the hit without realizing it, the assassin player was overjoyed. However, before he could even smile, the feeling of the dagger made his expression change drastically.

The feeling of the dagger piercing the opponent's back was completely different from usual. Looking at the dagger that had only pierced halfway in, the assassin player felt that it was no different from stabbing steel. No, perhaps stabbing steel was even easier.

Sensing an attack from behind, Huo retaliated with an elbow strike to his back.

Faced with Huo Huan's counterattack, the assassin player dared not take it head-on and immediately tried to escape, only to find that his dagger was trapped in Huo Huan's muscles and he could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Left with no other choice, he had to abandon the dagger and barely dodged Huo Huan's elbow strike in a disheveled manner.

Seeing his opponent reveal himself, Huo Ke wouldn't let him hide again so easily, and immediately activated Blood Escape to chase after him.

Shadow Step, Shadow Leap, Vanishing Cloak... a series of skills were used in succession, barely managing to dodge Huo Huan's swift attacks.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the assassin finally managed to shake off Huo Huan's pursuit. He turned around and found that the dagger he had pinned to Huo Huan's back had been removed, but the wound was nowhere to be seen.

Knowing that they could hardly harm Huo, the assassin player simply admitted defeat.

What to do if you don't admit defeat? They're tough, fast, and quick-witted. Even your signature back attack can't cause much damage. It's better to just surrender and avoid making a fool of yourself by continuing.

The assassin's surrender made the other onlookers realize that Huo was not weakened at all due to the frequent use of self-harm skills, a discovery that immediately made the surrounding players hesitate.

Seeing that no one around him was challenging him, Huo turned his attention to the other two arenas.

Well, upon closer inspection, Huo also discovered that the captains of the other two teams were not simple either.

On the first arena, a large number of undead creatures were densely packed together. Leading them was the skeleton of a huge reptile. Judging from the protruding horns on its skull, Huo estimated that it might have had dragon blood in its previous life.

Behind the earth dragon were a dozen or so headless knights, each equipped with a shield and a longsword.

The headless horseman was surrounded by a large number of skeletons, zombies and other cannon fodder, and various ghostly undead creatures floated in the sky.

"As expected of the talented Zongwang, even a player with a level of only 10 can create a small-scale undead calamity," Huo thought to himself as he looked at the hundreds of undead creatures.

Although most of them were just weak cannon fodder, their sheer number was enough to exhaust some reckless warriors without area-of-effect skills. Moreover, they weren't without high-end combat power; Huo Huan could sense their strength just by looking at the aura of the earth dragon.

Chapter 85 The Competition 3

At this moment, due to the sheer number of summoned creatures, apart from the bee who initially went up to challenge them, the others, realizing their own inadequacy, did not go up again after seeing so many summoned creatures.

After briefly assessing the strength of the first team captain, Huo turned his attention to the third team.

The captain of the third team is also a mage, and a very traditional one at that.

On the arena, the one who eats but doesn't eat meat is vying for supremacy with the team captain.

Isn't it said that many of the spells of mages are powerful and imposing, such as fireballs? But the magical aura that flickers and fades on the two of them seems to indicate that their battle is not simple.

Huo didn't understand magic very well, but he felt that the battle between the two should be very intense. As for how Huo felt it, he naturally looked at the solemn expressions on their faces and the sweat on their foreheads.

Huo Huan couldn't understand their battle at all. In his eyes, the two were just standing in place, casting some weak spells that could be cast instantly.

Unfortunately, these minor spells are not powerful enough to break through the opponent's defenses.

"What are those two doing? Why don't they use more powerful spells?" With no one coming up to challenge him, Huo asked his teammates who were standing to the side out of boredom.

"It's a counter-spell. Both of them are mages proficient in various spells. If they rashly use powerful spells or chant spells, they are easily countered or have their spells stolen by the opponent, causing them to fall into a disadvantageous position," Tingfeng, who was also a mage, answered Huo Huan's question.

"I see. How long will they continue like this?" Huo nodded, seemingly understanding, and then posed another question.

"I don't know. I'm a primary summoner and secondary spellcaster, so I don't really understand the duel between these two traditional mages," Tingfeng shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was powerless to help.

The duel between the two mages did not last long. During the meal, the mages made a mistake, and the captain of the third team immediately fell into the trap. Although he realized it was a trap a second later, he still inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

In the end, the one who ate rice but didn't eat meat won by a narrow margin.

After eating, he wiped the sweat from his face, took out a bottle of medicine from his spatial backpack, and drank it down.

The three team captains on the other side did similar things, all taking out potions from their spatial backpacks, indicating that both sides had consumed a lot of energy.

"What's the score now?" After finishing his meal and potion, he returned to the team to ask about the results.

"Currently, Jinli and Baitaohua (team captain) are both undefeated. You also know Baili Shishu's (team captain) record; he only lost one match to you," Honeybee Water quickly replied in response to the question about eating without meat.

"Oh? Jin Li also won all the battles? That's quite impressive." Eating but not eating meat looked at Huo Huan with some surprise, not expecting there to be a hidden master in the team.

"Now that Baili Shishu's team is practically eliminated, it all depends on whether you can defeat Bai Taohua." Bee Shooting Water patted the shoulder of the guy who only eats rice and not meat, looking like he was entrusting a heavy responsibility to him.

"Me? I'll give it a try." Looking at the densely packed army of undead, the man who doesn't eat meat hesitated for a moment, but still decided to take on the challenge.

After eating, he took out another bottle of potion and drank it. He meditated for a while to adjust his state before standing on the arena of the first team.

The two mages exchanged a mage's salute, and before they could act, one of them cast a dispel spell on Bai Taohua's numerous summoned creatures.

Bai Taohua had clearly anticipated this. Not being good at spell counterspells, he directly cast a basic level 1 spell, Shield, enveloping his strongest undead summons within it.

The dispel spell was very effective, dispelling a large number of undead summons, but the strongest ones were protected by the shield spell, and only a very few were dispelled.
