Chapter 31
Mu He clicked on Suifeng's weapon and took a look. The sword in his hand was an all-professional equipment, which means that any profession can equip it.
Generally, when players make their own equipment, they will set limited professions to obtain attribute bonuses.
For example, Mu He's sword is limited to being equipped by swordsmen, so the moment it is made, it gains some additional physical damage attributes.
Suifeng has no restricted profession, so he will not receive any attribute bonuses.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. After all, limited professions are not something that players can control freely, but the range will be automatically narrowed down according to the type of equipment.
Suifeng is holding a sword. Even if the range is narrowed down, it is still "physical professional equipment". If it is narrowed down further, it is still "melee physical professional equipment". In short, it has nothing to do with the profession of priest.
So he could only make the sword into equipment for all professions.
But why did he hold a sword?
Mu He was puzzled.
He carefully examined the sword and saw that it was made of bright silver. The part near the handle was decorated with red patterns and two words engraved on it: Think twice.
Apparently, that was the name of his sword.
Mu He’s first impression of this name was - Wow, that’s pretty cool, although he didn’t know why it was called that.
Then Mu He looked at the pitch-black "Mu He's sword" in his hand and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
The fight hasn't even started yet, but you're already feeling a bit weaker in terms of momentum, right?
"Are you ready?" Suifeng suddenly spoke, drawing Mu He's attention back to the arena.
After seeing the attributes of the sword in Suifeng's hand, Mu He closed the window and gripped the sword in his hand tightly. "I really don't understand why you don't play a swordsman. You said you like Murong He, but you haven't learned any of Murong He's attribute configuration and tactical concepts. Why bother?"
Suifeng raised an eyebrow: "It seems that you know Murong He very well?"
Mu He's expression remained unchanged: "Of course, I've considered playing a priest before, right?" @无限好文,全部在Jinjiang文城
Suifeng was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he answered Mu He's question: "I remember I said that it doesn't matter what class you play, what matters is the person. As long as the person is strong enough, any class can be played to the strongest level."
"That's true, but that's not a reason for you to turn a priest into a swordsman." Mu He said, suddenly realizing where his disagreement with Sui Feng lay. "I thought the so-called strongest meant achieving the best that a profession could do. Do you think that as long as a person is strong enough, they can turn any profession into the strongest in the entire Yuling?"
Suifeng nodded without hesitation, then added calmly, "He's also the strongest in this profession."
"Heh..." Mu He was so angry that he laughed.
A priest who doesn't even have the most basic healing capacity, telling him that he wants to be the strongest in this profession?!
Mu He raised his sword and rushed towards him: "Then try to defeat me first!"
After saying this, he pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably irritated.
Suifeng looked confident and fearless. He spoke arrogantly and domineeringly in a nonchalant tone.
——Exactly the same as that person.
Suifeng stood there motionless just like last time, until Mu He swung his sword in the air and slashed at him with a "Moon Wheel Slash"!
He rolled on the ground, dodged the skill, and immediately released a cage of light!
Almost at the same time, Mu He slashed the ground in front of him with his sword - a blow that shook the earth!
Suifeng was blown away by Mu He's sword energy, turned in the air, and landed steadily.
When I turned around, I met Mu He's gaze.
Mu He looked at him through the light prison and narrowed his eyes.
If he just wanted to teach this ignorant priest a lesson in the last battle, then this time, he really wanted to kill Suifeng.
From the moment Suifeng picked up the sword, his entire temperament made Mu He instinctively feel resistant and irritated.
Suifeng remained calm and serious from beginning to end. Both his expression and actions were much more serious than during their first PK.
It can be seen that he tried his best this time.
The priest's control skills last longer than the swordsman's.
After Suifeng landed, he immediately used "Holy Light Punishment" while Mu He was still under his control. This was one of the few damaging skills of the priest.
Mu He took the attack head-on, broke free from the cage of light, rushed forward, raised his sword with both hands and slashed at Suifeng fiercely.
Suifeng quickly turned sideways and narrowly avoided the attack. Then, as if he knew what Mu He would do next, he raised his sword in advance and just blocked Mu He's subsequent attack.
However, he didn't expect that Mu He would trigger the "Afterimage Combo" at this time. He was affected by the secondary damage and his health bar was instantly shortened.
Suifeng quickly retreated to create some distance between him and Mu He, then said, "I think I know what makes the Shadow Swordsman so powerful."
——The attack is invisible and hard to guard against.
"It's a pity that the damage is still a little short," he said.
Mu He tutted, "You talk as if you have a lot of damage. Stop pretending, okay? My health is more than twice yours right now!"
"Go on." Suifeng said no more and continued to attack Mu He.
This time he actually directly competed with Mu He in sword fighting, completely giving up his distance advantage and only wanting to stab the sword into Mu He's body.
What's even more ridiculous is that Mu He was actually forced back by him, unable to withstand his increasingly fast attack - damn! How much agility did this guy have?!
However, Suifeng's fighting style looks strong, but in fact it is no different from suicide. Although he can block Mu He's sword without any leakage, he can't block the "afterimage combo" triggered by the shadow swordsman's passive ability, and his blood volume keeps declining.
However, just when his health dropped to two-thirds, he successfully found Mu He's weakness and stabbed his heart with a sword!
Hitting the vital point will double the damage!
Immediately afterwards, the Cage of Light was followed by the Holy Light Punishment - these two skills were released directly into Mu He's body, hitting the vital points under control, and the damage doubled again!
The critical hit rate is increased, triggering a critical hit, and the critical damage is 580%!
This attack directly took away one-third of Mu He's blood!
He also only had two-thirds of his health left, but Mu He's upper limit was twice that of Sui Feng, which means that Mu He lost twice as much health as Sui Feng!
Suifeng struck another sword and then retreated to create some distance between himself and Mu He.
Mu He, who broke free from control, looked at him from afar with mixed feelings.
As early as when he saw the attributes of Suifeng's sword, he vaguely realized Suifeng's fighting style, but he didn't dare to believe it.
Suifeng's sword has only one attribute, which is explosive damage.
——More than 400% explosive damage!
Even though he has no spell damage or physical damage, the basic damage multiplied several times can indeed cause significant damage to the enemy.
Not to mention that he had just stabbed Mu He's vitals, and then there was the 20% damage bonus from the control skill, so the actual damage caused was more than doubled based on the burst damage!
By this calculation, his previous attack directly caused 1180% damage!
What does 1180% mean?
The damage increased tenfold!
If his basic damage wasn't so low, it wouldn't be impossible for this one strike to decide the outcome.
However, precisely because his basic damage is too low, he piles up explosive damage so recklessly.
Mu He simply didn't know what to say to him: "If you like stacking agility, crit, and damage so much, why don't you play an assassin?"
Suifeng: "I can't use a dagger."
Mu He: "Then go play a swordsman! Is it fun to torment a priest like this?"
He admitted that Suifeng's attack had great damage, but there was a prerequisite, that is, they were both only level 26, and the gap in their attributes was not large.
If Suifeng's basic damage still can't be stacked up when they reach a higher level, his account will be useless.
As a priest who is the target of everyone's attack in a team fight, with no life and no defense, what is he trying to do?
Suifeng naturally didn't think so: "I'm not messing around. I'll let you know the real way to play as a priest."
"Ha, the real way to play..."
"With agility, those who want to kill me can't catch up to me. With critical hits and explosive damage, even though I'm a magic class, I can still deal physical damage, both in close combat and from a distance." Suifeng's tone was serious, "I've calculated that this can be done in the game 'Yuling'."

Mu He: "What if I can't?"
Suifeng: "No, I can't."
"Then you are really awesome." Mu He didn't want to argue with Suifeng anymore. Anyway, he would never believe that Suifeng could really play with such a priest.
However, it is undeniable that the game "Yu Ling" has a great degree of freedom. People with good skills and quick reactions can indeed do things that others cannot do.
Take the points added to Mu He’s character “Murong He” for example, not everyone can handle it.
Because of their low agility, they can easily be caught up and killed if they cannot move well and predict.
Because of the lack of damaging skills, soloing is almost impossible, let alone playing in the arena.
To be honest, if Mu He used a normally equipped priest to play in the arena, his win rate might be even higher than Murong He's 80%.
Because his "Murong He" was positioned as a "team battle weapon" from the very beginning.
Without team battles, you are nothing. In team battles, who can compete with you?
——The largest amount of healing and buffs, ensuring the team's survival rate and maximizing damage increase to the greatest extent.
A team with Murong He and without Murong He are two completely extremes.
In Mu He's opinion, the frivolous team back then was completely led by him alone.
Xiao Qingkuang is indeed strong. He is the pinnacle of "Yu Ling" and an undefeated legend.
But if Murong He wasn't there, could he have led the entire team to the finals?!
Oh, stop joking.
Mu He felt uncomfortable when he thought about what happened back then.
He originally didn't care much about what his teammates thought of him, because even if his teammates were blind, the members of other teams were not blind.
Almost all the teams, when facing the arrogance of that year, the first words they said were - Kill Murong He!
This is enough to prove his threat to other teams.
That's so funny.
The people who know you best are often not your teammates, but your opponents.
Mu He was born willful, but he also knew what was important.
Although he hates being blamed by his teammates, for the sake of the team's victory, he is willing to suppress his resentment and take every game seriously, thinking about winning the championship first no matter what.
It doesn't matter how many bad teammates he has, he still smiles and acts arrogantly.
As long as Xiao Qingkuang is willing to cooperate with him, they will be invincible.
Just laugh frivolously...
Mu He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again and looked at Suifeng, he vaguely saw the arrogant figure from that year.
He laughed at himself, opened the storage space, and equipped another sword.
So the next second, Suifeng saw that there was an extra sword in Mu He's left hand. The sword was blood red and emitted a strange and bloodthirsty light.
He clicked on the name of the sword and took a look at it - [Mu He has another sword].
Suifeng: “…”
Two-handed sword.
It’s not like players haven’t tried this before, but it’s always been more for show than for practicality.
To be honest, Suifeng had also tried it secretly, but in actual combat, he often had to use only one sword to conquer the world. The sword in his left hand was not only of no help to him, but would affect the continuity of his movements.
To sum it up in one sentence - you can, but you don't have to.
So, when Suifeng saw Mu He holding the two-handed sword, he felt a subtle mood.
Just as Mu He didn't believe that he could play the priest well, he also didn't believe that Mu He could wield a two-handed sword.
However, it turns out that Mu He can.
Mu He picked up the two-handed sword and rushed to Suifeng to fight with him again. He seemed like a different person.
The left sword swung away the attack, and the right sword stabbed forward decisively!
Previously, Suifeng had defeated Mu He repeatedly, but now the situation is completely reversed!
The two swords in Mu He's hands not only did not fight, but instead cooperated with each other tacitly, making Suifeng increasingly unable to defend himself, and his blood volume dropped at a terrifying rate.
Finally, Suifeng had to roll on the ground to create distance between himself and Mu He, and then he healed himself - triggering a 550% critical strike and directly restoring his blood to full!
Mu He: “…”
Okay, forget Suifeng is a pastor.
The most disgusting thing in a battle is that after being severely injured by you, the opponent's health suddenly returns to full.
But his blood is still low.
This psychological gap...
However, the only thing the priest could recover was blood - Suifeng's mana bar was still low.
Mu He pursed his lips and immediately realized that if he wanted to win this PK, he had to consume Suifeng's mana before Suifeng depleted his own health bar.
After thinking it through, the two of them had another fierce fight.
This time, both sides showed no mercy, and every move hit the vital points, with critical damage occurring one after another!
Mu He used his two-handed sword to completely control the rhythm of the attack, causing Suifeng to fight very passively.
But once Suifeng found an opportunity, he would launch a series of attacks targeting the vital points, leaving Mu He no chance to resist.
The arena time limit was half an hour, and the two of them actually fought for the full half hour.
Finally, when Suifeng's mana bar was reduced to zero and Mu He was left with only a thin layer of health, the countdown ended and both of them were kicked out of the arena by the system.
Mu He returned to the city of right and wrong. Looking at the gravel road and the familiar NPCs around him, he didn't react for a long time. Damn! He was so close! He was so close to killing that arrogant priest!
Suifeng, who had also returned to the City of Right and Wrong, realized that the arena had timed out and punched the wall beside him—just one hit away! As long as this punch could hit Mu He, he would defeat Mu He and join his team!
This was undoubtedly a duel that left people wanting more, but neither Mu He nor Sui Feng immediately contacted each other to ask for another fight after being kicked out of the arena by the system.
They are afraid.
Mu He had calculated that Suifeng's critical hit rate was only 52%, but once triggered, it would be over 500% of the explosive damage. If Suifeng was lucky enough and every attack was a critical hit, Mu He had no confidence that he could kill him within half an hour.
As for Suifeng, the moment he discovered Mu He's ability to wield a two-handed sword, he felt uneasy about the outcome of this PK. He originally thought he had a 100% chance of winning, but now estimated his chances of winning were only 50%.
He wouldn't blame Mu He for using an extra sword or something; if he had the ability, he could have used it too.
It's a pity that he doesn't have this ability.
And – think twice.
Think twice before you act - He named his sword "Sansi" in the hope that he would no longer say things to Mu He that would disgust him without thinking.
The mistakes made in the past cannot be made up for. All he can do is remind himself not to make the same mistake again in the future.
Just like that, the two of them stood there in deep thought for a while.
In the end, it was Mu He who spoke first: [It's already late today, and I have to meet up tomorrow... I'm going to bed first, I'll call you another day.]
Suifeng: [Okay.]
Mu He: [Then, good night? ]
Suifeng: [Good night.] @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
When Mu He heard Suifeng's reply, he didn't even bother to change his equipment. He directly called out the system and disconnected.
Following a series of system prompts, Mu He returned to reality.
He lay back in the holographic chair, completely relaxed, staring at the time displayed on the glass cover, and was in a daze for quite a while.
The scene of himself and Suifeng fighting kept flashing through his mind. Every time the scene froze, what appeared in his mind was not Suifeng's face, but...
Mu He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of that man's face from his mind.
But the more he resisted, the clearer the man's face became.
I still can't forget that day when I stood at the top of the Valley of Despair, looking at those who were standing higher than me and laughing frivolously.
The arrogant figure was standing against the light, his robes blown up by the wind, and he looked extremely domineering.
Suddenly, without turning around, he said to him, "If I form a team, will you join?"
He looked at his back, played with the cross in his hand, and chuckled: "Come on, why not? I'm your bound nurse."
"I'm going to win the championship."
"Well, I'll help you."
*
"Damn!" Mu He kicked the glass cover of the holographic cabin. For the first time, he felt that having a good memory was not a good thing.
By the way, he actually just remembered today that Xiao Qingkuang had said "I" instead of "we".
Gou Bixiao was so frivolous, maybe he never took him seriously from the beginning!
Oh, forget it, don’t think about the past.
We have a meeting tomorrow, so take a shower and go to bed early.
Thinking of this, Mu He forced himself to leave the holographic cabin with his somewhat weak body, took some clean clothes and went to take a shower.
However, when the man reached the bathroom door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to the holographic cabin: "System!"
System: [Player Mu He, how can I help you? ]
Mu He: "The match I just had with Suifeng... the one before I went offline, is there a video?!"
System: [Request received, searching for cached files - relevant files retrieved, attempting to export video - video exported successfully, would you like to watch now?]
Mu He: “Send it to my computer!”
System: [Request received, sending file - sent successfully.]
Mu He rushed to his computer in a few steps, but was not in a hurry to receive the file sent to him by the Yuling system. Instead, he clicked on the Internet search page and typed a line of words: Xiao Qingkuang's battle video.
After typing, press Enter.
He didn't believe that Xiao Qingkuang would play a priest, and play the priest so disgustingly.
But he couldn't believe that there could be two people in this world with such similar skills.
Thinking back carefully, their personalities have too many similarities...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Mu He broke out in a cold sweat.
——Suifeng, could it be him?
