  “God of War, Tranquility Yields Transcendence!!”


  As soon as the audience heard that time, they erupted with excitement.

  At the end of the day, the professional tournament often gave the audience a pleasant surprise. To think that they had the privilege of spectating the God of Magic and even the God of War.

  It was an enigma for all present to see which God was the stronger one.

  The relationship between the two masters was pretty unusual, to say the least. After so many years, the player base had yet to hear of any concrete information on who has defeated who before.

  There were many rumors circulating on the forums but everyone had their differing views. There was no hard evidence to back up their opinions.

  It was a dream come true for many old-time players to see these two grand experts fight it out.

  Who would have thought that today will be a dream come true for them?

  “Aiya……” Wang Yu gazed over at the platform where Tranquility Yields Transcendence stood and remarked, “Isn’t that……? Who is he?”


  “Swoosh!”


  After that casual comment, the surrounding audience turned towards Wang Yu with hateful eyes.

  “It is God of War Tranquility Yields Transcendence! We met him a few days ago.”


  Seeing the murderous gazes, the players from Quan Zhen Sect pleaded, “Old Bull, can you pull yourself together? You are making us look too proud and arrogant.”


  “Hmm……” Wang Yu ignored their intense stares as he continued, “Oh right, I remember him now. He was very courageous indeed to want to challenge me.”


  “.……”


  The players from Quan Zhen Sect were speechless and quickly distanced themselves from Wang Yu, “We don’t know him……”


  On the platform, the match commenced.

  Before the two experts exchanged a single blow, Worldly Indifference coldly glared at Tranquility Yields Transcendence and demanded, “You dare to make a move on me?”


  “Ah Ming, don’t misunderstand……” Tranquility Yields Transcendence wore a look of panic and explained, “I am just doing this for the money.”


  “Hmph!” Worldly Indifference scoffed, “Doing things for money? I think you have been swindled by that wily old fox.”
……

  Upon hearing Worldly Indifference’s remarks, the audience immediately quieted down. Oh my, there was even additional drama to this competition

  “F*ck! This is gossip material.”


  Wang Yu looked at the two intently with his eyes pricked to hear their conversation.

  Tranquility Yields Transcendence replied in a pleading voice, “Ah Ming, this is a live broadcast……”


  “Hmph!” Worldly Indifference waved the staff in her hand and coldly scoffed, “Since this is the case, let’s end this nonsense and let our actions do the talking!”


  Following that, Worldly Indifference lifted her left hand and she sent [Icy Seal] hurling towards Tranquility Yields Transcendence.

  Tranquility Yields Transcendence was alarmed as he gripped his sword hilt tightly. He drew his sword in a graceful movement and executed [Grudging Slash] which sliced through the incoming projectile.

  “Dang……”


  A soft sound reverberated through the air as the [Icy Seal] froze [Grudging Slash] into a crescent but in doing so, [Icy Seal] also lost its momentum.

  Just as Tranquility Yields Transcendence had executed [Grudging Slash], Worldly Indifference was already condensing magic in her right hand. With a swift wave of her staff, streaks of lightning descended on the sky and arced towards Tranquility Yields Transcendence.

  As Tranquility Yields Transcendence was in mid stance, he was in no position to dodge the incoming attack. He did not sheath his blade as he deftly executed [Rising Dragon Slash].

  [Rising Dragon Slash] was also a ground-to-air skill. It required the user to move forward when executing the skill which will result in a short recoil.

  With this slight deviation in his movement, Tranquility Yields Transcendence barely evaded getting inflicted with critical damage.

  “Hua!!”


  With such a wonderful last-second evasive maneuver, it got the audiences to the edge of their seats.

  “So impressive……”


  Even Wang Yu was flabbergasted as he spectated the move that Tranquility Yields Transcendence had just executed.

  In <>, Warrior skills required long casting time and also long cooldown timings. However, a player could perform combos with these skills which allow the cancellation of these cooldowns.

  An example of a combo was [Charge] followed by [Tornado Slash].

  [Grudging Slash] followed by [Rising Dragon Slash]. These skills were not very advanced skills individually but when used in a combo, the effects were devastating.

  With that kind of reaction speed, he was on par with a Fighter like Wang Yu. His other stats elevated him to an unfathomable level.

  To be able to achieve such a level in the game was awe-inspiring for Wang Yu. He indeed lived up to his name as God of War.

  Worldly Indifference watched as Tranquility Yields Transcendence flew up and unhurriedly stamp her staff into the ground and released [Ice Mirror].

  Wherever Tranquility Yields Transcendence landed, he would be caught in her move and freeze.

  Tranquility Yields Transcendence seemed to already expect such a move by Worldly Indifference and in mid-air, he gripped his sword with both hands.unleashing [Mountain Shattering Blow].

  The displacement range of his move was 500 units so it would force Worldly Indifference to retreat. Tranquility Yields Transcendence slammed the ground and sent the icy mirror shards flying towards Worldly Indifference.

  “Boom!!!”


  Tranquility Yields Transcendence safely landed on the ground while causing Worldly Indifference drifting backwards away from him.

  At this instance, there was a weird magic array that appeared under the feet of Tranquility Yields Transcendence.

  [Confinement Prison]!!

  Tranquility Yields Transcendence furrowed his brows and without another word he rushed straight into Worldly Indifference.

  Worldly Indifference was already at the edge of the platform and had little room left to retreat. With her staff behind her back, she steeled herself for the counterattack.

  She saw Tranquility Yields Transcendence moved his shoulders swiftly and once again executed [Tornado Slash] trapping her within the grinding blades.

  At the critical moment, a blue light that resembled an eggshell enveloped Worldly Indifference in it.

  [Magic Shield]!

  “Bang! Bang! Bang!”


  Tranquility Yields Transcendence unceasingly slashed his blades on Worldly Indifference’s [Magic Shield] and there was a deathly and sickening throb

  “Dang……”


  Just when Tranquility Yields Transcendence had expanded the full force of [Tornado Slash], the defense barrier of [Magic Shield] collapsed and cracks appeared in the egg-like shell.

  Tranquility Yields Transcendence raised his blade to Worldly Indifference’s neck and was about to end the battle but a streak of greenish-blue light blocked the blade. The two experts retreated a few metres in opposite directions.

  The silence in the audience was deafening.

  Who were the so-called experts? What was a god-level matchup?

  The performances of the two players on stage was a brilliant performance.

  Although they had only exchanged blows for a few rounds, it had already left an indelible impression on those who were watching.

  Since the two were experts to begin with, any of their moves carried with it the potential to insta-kill their opponent.

  So far throughout the battle, if any of them had reacted even a millisecond slower, they would have been at a severe disadvantage and lose the match instantly.

  Although the atmosphere was electrifying when Purity fought against Wang Yu, it was a different experience when comparing martial artists and other classes.

  Watching Wang Yu fight was a more realistic human experience.

  The myriad of skills that were showcased in this match, however, elevated the viewing experience of the audience.
