Chapter 846 My Skill Drawing Cards Are Superior!
World Championship, Quarterfinals

The World Championship is progressing very quickly; the group stage has been completely completed in just a few days.

The professional teams in the China region performed quite well, with a total of four teams advancing from the group stage to the knockout stage.

These are the four professional teams: Kunlun, Embers of Fire, Dragon Soul, and Stir-fried Pork.

The 【Stir-fried Pork】 team barely broke through the encirclement through the loser's bracket revival match.

However, the [Changge] team failed to break through and was eliminated.

However, nobody cares about them anymore.

Half of the top eight teams in the "Divine Revelation" game world championship were from the Chinese region, which exceeded all players' expectations.

This, in turn, made them even more eager for the upcoming matches.

Among these four teams, the [Kunlun] and [Embers of the Flame] teams had the easiest time, as expected.

Although their two groups were assigned to the Chinese region's Death Dungeon, where all teams received the same points, they were not ahead of other teams.

In this situation, the two teams are clearly stronger than the professional teams in other servers.

Although other teams might win a round by using super items, it doesn't affect the overall situation.

However, none of the opponents who made it to the quarterfinals were weak.

Among them, the opponent that [Embers of the Flame] will face is the most powerful.

The American team "Hell Knights" from the Americas region!
This team is undoubtedly the strongest team in the Americas region.

Not only in the game "Divine Revelation", but also in several other popular games, he has won the world championship honor multiple times.

Therefore, even though many people believe that the professional teams from the Chinese region are very strong this time, they don't have much of a chance of winning against [Hell Knight].

After entering the knockout stage, each battle became increasingly intense.

The atmosphere in the preparation room was relatively relaxed for Claw and the others.

Although their opponent was the Hell Knight, which surprised them, Claw, Mo Yun, and the others were not afraid.

On the contrary, they seemed quite looking forward to it.

The professional players of 【Embers of the Flame】 are basically the same as Mo Yun and Claw Claw; they were not formal professional players before.

They are all professional players who rose to prominence in the game "Divine Revelation".

Therefore, they have no fear of the former world champion; on the contrary, they are determined to defeat him.

"There are a total of six matches in the official knockout stage. First, there are three one-on-one matches, then two two-on-two matches, and finally one one-on-one match."

"According to the rules, whether it is a one-on-one or two-on-two match, each person can only play once."

Claw looked at its companion and spoke calmly.

This was also Claw's first time participating in a world-class competition, but he wasn't nervous at all.

He was prepared to face all of this long ago.

"One point is awarded for each one-on-one win, and two points are awarded for each two-on-two win."

"If you score more than four points in each battle, you will win the game."

"If the final score is based on both sides, then a group melee will be held to determine the winner."

Claw Claw paused, looked at everyone, and continued:

"Although I have a lot of confidence in all of us, judging from the current situation, the Hell Knights are not weak, and their teamwork is quite good."

"If possible, I don't want to drag the match into a final melee."

"Then let's deal with them ahead of time."

Mo Yun raised his right hand and said loudly.

"That's what I mean."

Claw nodded and said with a smile:

"We've already reached the knockout stage, and we have no room for error now."

“Every step forward is a new record for us.”

"Therefore, in the competition, everyone should not hesitate to use extraordinary items whenever necessary."

No one hesitated when they heard Claw's request.

Although the current players are still at the Silver tier, a small number of them have obtained higher-tier equipment through various means.

However, if you force yourself to equip something before it meets the requirements for using Gold-tier equipment, it will be less useful than Silver-tier equipment.

For Claw and his group, it's better to use skill draw cards than those extraordinary potions with ordinary buff effects.

Like the skill draw cards, super potions and other buff items can only be used once per match.

Compared to skill draw cards, other items are simply incomparable.

"Quarterfinal Match 1: [Embers of the Flame] vs. [Hell Knight]!"

"The first one-on-one match!"

"The players sent out by both sides are..."

"Oh my! It's Claw Claw and Satan!"

"You should know that these two are the captains of [Embers of the Flame] and [Hell Knights], respectively! They are also the strongest members of their respective teams!"

"The battle has just begun, and the two sides are already locked in such a fierce and evenly matched contest!"

"Let's enjoy the game!"

As the commentator finished speaking, the match officially began.

In the center of the arena, Claw and Satan stared at each other.

As competitors, they naturally couldn't hear the commentator's voice, but having prepared in advance, they knew who the commentator was.

Go all out!

Claw and Satan felt a chill run down their spines, but they were not careless in the slightest.

It's important to understand that the reason they were the first to play was to secure an early victory and gain a significant advantage for their team.

But the other party thinks the same way.

At this point, if the captains lose the game, it will have a huge impact on the entire team.

This is an elimination round; there won't be a second chance.

In Claw's eyes, he saw Satan in the distant mountain range appear a card in his hand, which he then crushed.

Skill draw cards?!
Claw was somewhat surprised.

Instantly, the same card appeared in Claw Claw's hand.

However, he did not use it directly, but instead looked at Satan on the other side.

After using that skill draw card, an extremely surging power enveloped Satan on the other side. Claw, who had had similar experiences before, knew very well that this was the manifestation of a legendary-level ability.

As a warrior, Satan appears extremely powerful under the influence of this formidable force.

Because they've entered combat mode, Claw can also see the effects of the extraordinary items used by the opponent.
-
[Player Satan used the skill draw card [Julio the Sword Saint]!]
[Player Satan has acquired the temporary feat "Julio the Sword Saint"!]
[Temporary Specialty [Julio the Sword Saint]: The swordsmanship honed through countless trials by the Rock Sword Saint Julio. When using swords, attack damage increases by 100%, sword skill level increases by 5, Strength, Stamina, and Agility attributes increase by 30%, and ignores negative status effects such as Slow, Charm, and Weakness.]
As expected, it's a skill card drawn from a legendary powerhouse, and it's a skill with considerable power!
Claw wasn't surprised.

Few professional teams can get to this point without some difficulty.

While finding a legendary player to use skill-based card draws is rare, it doesn't mean that players in servers other than Li Si can't access legendary players.
However, since the opponent had already used the skill draw card directly, Claw didn't hold back.

He also used the skill draw card he obtained from Li Si.
-
[Player Claw used the skill draw card [Li Si - Artifact Controller]!]
[Player Claw has acquired the temporary perk [Li Si - Artifact Master]!]
[Temporary Specialty [Li Si - Artifact Master]: Having successfully mastered a semi-divine artifact or a divine artifact, you gain additional judgment bonuses when attempting to master a semi-divine artifact or a divine artifact; damage and effects of any weapon or equipment of any tier increased by 50%, damage received from any weapon or equipment of any tier reduced by 50% (divine artifact effects halved)]
I rely on!

All the spectators who witnessed this scene swore.

There's no limit to how outrageous this can get!

The skill card that Satan used was already very powerful.

That so-called sword saint's abilities are quite powerful even among legendary-level characters.

However, compared to the skill draw cards used by Claw, it's nothing.

The controller of the divine artifact?
Isn't that an ability that only gods should have?
How could this happen to Li Si?

Could it be that Li Si has truly mastered a divine artifact?

Unlike the audience, Satan was also stunned when he saw the skill card that Claw used to draw cards.

How is this played?
While the first part of this specialty is not very useful, the latter part is just too outrageous.

Reduces the damage of any equipment or weapon by half?

This is an independent damage reduction zone!
So, after using that Sword Saint ability card, the damage he dealt actually decreased instead of increased!

And Claw Claw knows even more clearly.

Like Mo Yun, he had previously accumulated several skill draw cards.

They used all of them when Li Si issued the dungeon quests last time.

The abilities drawn from the other skill draw cards were all quite average, but this one was a huge surprise!

The probability of drawing a powerful skill from a legendary character is very low; only three characters in [Embers of the Flame] have had this good luck.

Moreover, after checking, he learned that the damage-boosting effect of the [Artifact Controller] also applies to the magical puppets he uses!
This increase and decrease is enough for Claws to completely crush Satan!

Seeing Satan's ugly expression not far away, Claw Claw smiled slightly and then rushed towards him.

It's unreasonable for a mage to charge at a warrior.

Feel sorry!

Go talk to my [Artifact Controller]!

My skill draw card is superior!
As the claws moved quickly and powerfully, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred up, rippling with magical energy.

Just as he charged toward the warrior, a flash of light appeared around his body, followed by the appearance of two magical puppets.

One of them is a wind elemental golem surrounded by wind elements.

Its body was graceful, surrounded by rapidly spinning cyan wind blades. These wind blades were like sharp blades, emitting a whistling sound, as if telling of the wind's anger.

The wind elemental golem's eyes gleamed with an eerie green light. It moved nimbly across the battlefield in rhythm with its claws, ready to launch a swift attack on the enemy at any moment.

The other is an earth elemental golem holding a rock shield.

It is huge and robust, its entire body made of hard rock, with each rock tightly connected, like an unshakable small mountain.

The earth elemental golem's rock shield was incredibly thick, covered with mysterious magic runes, giving it a sense of stability and reliability.

It moved with heavy steps, approaching the enemy step by step, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Claw can quickly and accurately use different elemental puppets to fight, depending on the opponent's situation.

When he realized that Satan's attack style was more focused on direct confrontation after he acquired the [Sword Saint] ability, he chose to summon these two magical puppets.

He commanded his wind elemental golems to use their agility and high-speed spinning wind blades to harass and attack the warriors from the side or rear, forcing Satan to be distracted.

When warriors attempt to break through head-on with overwhelming force, the earth elemental golem will step in.

Use its thick rock shield to block the warrior's attack, buying more time and opportunities for the claws.

Satan was caught off guard by the claws' rapid approach.

However, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and concentrated all his strength into the longsword in his hand.

The longsword exuded an extremely sharp aura, its blade gleaming with a cold light, like a lurking beast, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its enemy at any moment.

Satan roared, stomped his feet on the ground, and shot towards the claws like an arrow.

His longsword drew a graceful arc in the air, carrying immense power and speed, aiming for a fatal blow.

At the same time, the puppet controlled by Claw quickly rushed forward. The wind elemental puppet's wind blades collided with the warrior's longsword, producing a crisp clanging sound and sparks flying.

The earth elemental golem used its rock shield to block another wave of attacks from the warrior, and the two became locked in a fierce struggle.

Let alone attacking Claw, even dealing with the two magical puppets in front of him was quite difficult for Satan.

Seeing this, Claw Claw understood what was going on.

Is the suppression that obvious?

Then there's no need to pretend!
Hurry up, the time allotted for drawing a skill card is limited!

The more opponents you can defeat, the greater your advantage will be!
Immediately, the claws stopped hiding.

A third magical puppet engulfed in flames appeared beside Claw, hurling fireballs at Satan.

Satan, who was barely holding on against the two magical puppets, couldn't take it anymore and was defeated in a few moves!

[Embers of the Flame] wins the first game!
In the second game, ClawClaw faced off against Lucifer, the Assassin, from the Hell Knights team.

As soon as the opponent entered the arena, they went into stealth mode and did not launch an attack.

It's obvious that the opponent is stalling for time, trying to wait for the duration of the Claw skill card draw.

Claw did not sit idly by and wait for its death.

This is a scenario that [Embers of the Flame] had envisioned before.

Without hesitation, Claw summoned three magical puppets skilled in large-area AOE attacks, unleashing a barrage of firepower to locate the opponent and forcefully kill them.

However, the time for Claw's skill card draw has also come to an end.

After winning the second game, they lost the third.

However, they have already gained a considerable advantage.

In the following matches, under Mo Yun's leadership, they directly eliminated the [Hell Knight].

[Embers of the Flame] also easily advanced to the semifinals, much to everyone's surprise.
