53: Battle against Koda

The following matches went smoothly.

After Lin Ye's skills reached mastery, Prosperity had already become a top-tier team, easily winning against everyone except for Nebula, which was untouchable.

Especially after his Gas Source Flow reached a state of perfection, his strength was already comparable to Chen Ou.

After a friendly spar with Chen Ou, Lin Ye's top position within the team was officially established.

His teammates were completely stunned; their abilities were mostly at the minor achievement level, while Lin Ye, who was more than ten years younger than them, had mastered all his abilities and skills, leaving them no room to live.

Once Lin Ye's strength fully matured, to implement the star-making plan, Lin Ye typically played two consecutive matches in theCompetition.

When everyone saw Lin Ye, a Fourth Order, easily win, their jaws dropped.

Lin Ye's terrifying abilities and skill progression also sparked a heated discussion among the audience.

Lin Ye became famous, hailed as the next Zhang Tianci.

...

As the opposing Sixth Order Paladin fell, Lin Ye cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the match."

His fans cheered enthusiastically.

"Lin Ye, Lin Ye, love you every night."

"Night God, you are the best."

...

Enjoying the cheers, Lin Ye felt a bit lightheaded.

The progress of the star-making plan exceeded expectations.

When Lin Ye, a Fourth Order, defeated a Fifth Order, people were filled with anticipation, believing him to be an unparalleled genius.

When Lin Ye, a Fourth Order, defeated a Sixth Order, people went completely insane.

Genius, super genius.

Who was he fighting? They were basically all professional players!

Which professional wasn't an outstanding talent?

Now, any professional player, a Fifth Order, could easily defeat an ordinary Sixth Order.

But Lin Ye was defeating a group of geniuses.

Lin Ye stepped off the stage, and the team's logistics staff rushed to greet him, asking about his well-being.

"Which team did we draw for the next round?" Lin Ye asked.

"It's Koda," the logistics staff replied.

"Oh? Koda."

Lin Ye's interest was piqued.

The second-ranked team had three Chen Ou-level combatants.

It was quite terrifying.

If it were before, he might have been a little nervous, but now that he was comparable to Chen Ou and his combat power had surged, he was naturally not afraid.

After discussing the plan with his teammates, he confidently awaited the match against Koda.

...

Koda was also a veteran club, like Nebula, strong at every position with no weaknesses.

They were like a slightly weaker Nebula.

There was no chance against Nebula, but there was an opportunity against Koda.

So Prosperity began to strategize.

Honestly, Prosperity's current lineup was not weaker than Koda's; although they lacked one Chen Ou-level combatant, the combination of the Wind and Fire Dual Mages was not to be underestimated.

The main discussion revolved around the order of appearance for the Counter Battle.

Chen Ou first, Lin Ye second, Wind and Fire Dual Mages 2v2, then Chen Ou and Bai Zhiqing 2v2, and finally Lin Ye.

The lineup for the Counter Battle was a bit tight, but there was nothing that could be done.

Prosperity's substitutes were not strong enough to play, and the opposing team's substitutes were also Sixth Order elites, making rotations much more comfortable.

Someone might ask, why not recruit Sixth Order players?

This was also because the conditions for becoming a professional player were too stringent.

First, the age must not exceed 33, and second, they must be at least Fourth Order.

Anyone who could break through to the Sixth Order within 33 years of age was a genius, weren't they?

There simply weren't that many Sixth Orders to recruit.

This came down to a battle of financial resources; there were only so many Sixth Orders, and if your financial resources weren't enough, they would rather be a substitute at a large club than come to you.

Prosperity's players were all nearing their age limit and were about to retire, which was why the club was so eager to cultivate new players.

The match between Prosperity and Koda began.

The first match was a team battle.

Both sides entered the arena.

Lin Ye scanned the opposing team; as expected, five main players.

The Protector Luo Ji, the Phantom Assassin Moro, the Elementalist Zhou Qingge, the Saintess Ye Qiqi, and the Weapon Master Dugu Xin.

The Protector, known as the strongest shield, was even tougher in defense than a Colossus, but because of his extreme specialization, he wasn't as popular as a Colossus.

His recovery ability and destructive power were lacking, requiring cooperation with teammates, but a Protector with teammates was even more formidable than a Colossus.

The Phantom Assassin needed no further explanation; a classic assassin, Lin Ye had also encountered one in the Divine Land Team.

The Elementalist, who controlled multiple elements and enhanced spell power through elemental reactions, was the most volatile profession among mages.

If elemental reactions were practiced well, then fine, a top master.

If elemental reactions were practiced poorly, then it was not as good as practicing a regular mage.

This Zhou Qingge was at an upper-middle level, and with the Wind and Fire Dual Mages, she was completely crushed.

The Saintess, needless to say, Lin Ye's Magic University team's Ilene Ye was a Saintess.

It must be said that these charisma-boosting professions were truly amazing; Ye Qiqi was tall, with delicate features, and combined with her gentle personality and the aura of a Saintess, she became the most popular player.

Her fan base was terrifyingly large, the largest in the league.

The Weapon Master was a profession Lin Ye had once considered.

The Weapon Master was also a top physical profession, divided into various schools: the Specialization school and the Weapon Control school.

The Specialization school cultivated one weapon, excelling in a single weapon, exploring the ethereal 'intent' – sword intent, saber intent, spear intent – connecting with the weapon and nurturing its spirit.

The Weapon Control school cultivated multiple weapons, nurturing their spirits; multiple weapon spirits formed a magic array, mutually enhancing each other, and the Weapon Master, by virtue of their weapon control ability, manipulated multiple weapons to form combos.

Dugu Xin was a Weapon Master of the Weapon Control school.

Seven flying swords formed an array; within the array, the seven flying swords moved as flexibly as fish, and their attacks were like continuous waves, and when the seven swords combined, their power was even beyond imagination.

Dugu Xin was also the captain of Koda, and the co-captain was the Holy Maiden Ye Qiqi.

The strongest in their team were Dugu Xin, Ye Qiqi, and Luo Ji, all powerhouses at the Chen Ou level.

After both sides greeted each other, the match began.

The Protector Luo Ji was completely covered in black, like steel, holding a large shield, defending against the incoming Wind and Fire Seven-Shot barrage.

Chen Ou transformed into a seven-meter giant, blocking Zhou Qingge's thunder-water mixed magic from the opposite side.

The two great shields collided.

Both healers buffed their teammates.

Dugu Xin finished constructing his magic array and, with seven flying swords, attacked Chen Ou.

Lin Ye stopped the Phantom Assassin Moro.

With his enhanced five senses, he could easily suppress Moro.

Moro was extremely frustrated; the Phantom Assassin's proud various clones and illusions, which were meant to confuse, had no effect on Lin Ye whatsoever.

There was no way for him to escape Lin Ye either.

It must be said how powerful the Protector was; the combined attacks of the Wind and Fire Dual Mages and Chen Ou were all blocked by the great shield, and even trying to lob magic over to the backline in an arc was useless, as the Protector could link himself with his teammates, sharing their damage.

Luo Ji was currently linked with his teammates.

Moreover, the Protector could also cast magic shields, making teammates feel completely secure under his protection.

Lin Ye knew they couldn't drag this out; Dugu Xin's output was extremely ferocious, and even if the captain fully activated Unshakable, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long, at least he would be broken through before Luo Ji.

Gazing at the Phantom Assassin in front of him, "Let's start the breakthrough with you."

Ruyi Strength, Heavenly Net.

Within five meters around Moro, a huge net of qi quickly entangled him, and Luo Ji had a bad premonition.

Void.

Lin Ye did not attack, continuing to control the Ruyi Strength, waiting for his Void to end.

Luo Ji's teammates, seeing him in danger, quickly put shields on Moro.

One layer of Holy Light Shield plus one layer of Dark Light Shield.

There was also a layer of illusory chains to share damage.

Void ended.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, his muscles swelling to the extreme, black Star Power almost completely enveloping his body.

Force Emission ~ Breaking Void Fist.

The Breaking Void Fist completely ignored the first layer of shield, ignored most of the second layer of shield, and then slammed into Moro.

The perfected Breaking Void Fist's defense-ignoring characteristic was brought to its fullest potential.

Bang ~

Moro was severely injured by a single blow from the Breaking Void Fist.

He quickly retreated.

Lin Ye wanted to pursue, but three flying swords entangled him.

He looked at the flying swords with disdain.

Teleport.

Consecutive Breaking Void Fists.

Moro reluctantly fell.

The Saintess's Holy Light Healing could not fully recover such excessive damage.
