202: Chapter 202 Is this how the rich fight?

A light curtain rose, isolating the inside from the outside.

The arena was completely transformed into a closed gladiatorial cage.

The flag bearer npc's grand, emotionless voice rang out clearly in everyone's ears, like a law announcing a predetermined fate.

"Balance Mode activated. Calibrating all unit attributes..."

"Countdown begins."

"Ten."

"Nine."

With every tick of the cold numbers, the atmosphere in the arena grew more solemn.

The twenty-five people from the Titan Temple moved quickly, demonstrating the professionalism expected of an elite team.

Three heavy-armored shield guards stepped forward, forming a line of iron walls.

Behind them, mages and archers began to gather various lights on their staves and longbows.

On the flanks of the team, several figures twisted slightly in the air before vanishing—

Those were the stealth classes entering their hidden state.

Everyone was on high alert, brimming with murderous intent.

In contrast, Chen You remained as calm and composed as ever, even looking at the descending golden light curtain with great interest.

Like a tourist visiting for a tour.

He was thinking about how to make the fight look a bit more difficult.

Go all out? Even if everyone present attacked together, it wouldn't be enough for him to kill.

He couldn't reveal his true strength.

With so many eyes watching, he had to hold back; it wouldn't be good to scare the children.

However, his posture made Tai Pi feel even more confident.

Keep pretending! Go ahead and keep pretending!

With attributes leveled and everyone at level 20, I want to see how you'll handle one against twenty-five!

"...Three!"

"...Two!"

"...One!"

"—Start!"

The moment the countdown ended, Tai Pi let out a world-shaking roar:

"Charge! Tear him apart!"

At his command, the five Berserkers in the front row launched their Charge skill like cannonballs.

The stone slabs beneath their feet cracked, and their figures turned into five blurred afterimages.

Carrying an indomitable momentum, they rushed straight toward Chen You from five different angles!

This was the simplest and most effective opening.

The simultaneous Charge of five warriors carried enough of a stun effect to form a control chain, rendering the target immobile for several seconds.

By then, the devastating spells from the mage group in the back would arrive in an instant, blasting him into scrap!

In the spectator stands, Ao Bi of the Roman God Clan's eyes lit up, and he whispered:

"A standard 'Five-point' dash. Those muscle-heads from Titan haven't slacked on their tactics."

Lone Wolf Under the Moon clenched his fists nervously.

He stared intently at the arena, wanting to see how Chen You would respond to this textbook-perfect focus-fire opening.

However, Chen You didn't move.

He didn't even make a move to raise his sword and parry.

He just stood there quietly.

The next second, the five Berserkers slammed accurately into Chen You!

The expected scene of blood splattering didn't happen.

Instead, there was a series of tooth-aching thuds.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five consecutive sounds, crisp and loud.

Like five high-speed flying idiots slamming solidly into a ten-meter-thick steel plate.

The five Berserkers charging at the front felt like they hadn't hit a person, but a wall.

A terrifying counter-force transmitted from the point of contact. Their heads buzzed, and they saw stars.

Their Charge skill was forcibly interrupted, and they stumbled backward uncontrollably.

Above their heads, a small amount of damage numbers appeared in unison.

-58!

-62!

...

The damage wasn't high, but it was extremely insulting.

The entire arena, both inside and outside, instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen You, who was charged at, was perfectly fine, while the warriors who initiated the Charge actually lost health?

The Charge... was reflected back?

What the hell is this?!

Just then, Chen You frowned slightly and retreated two steps at just the right moment, a "shaken" expression appearing on his face.

"Hiss... that was close."

He patted his chest with lingering fear, looking at Tai Pi and the others, his tone carrying a hint of trepidation.

"The [Guardian Wall Talisman] I bought for two hundred gold coins was almost broken by your Charge."

As soon as he said this, the entire audience erupted.

The members of the Titan Temple were first stunned, then realized what was happening, and finally, they were collectively enraged!

The guild channel instantly exploded.

【Tai Ku】: A two-hundred gold coin talisman?! A one-time use item?! Damn, wasting money like that?!

【Tai Ta Ta】: I knew it! He definitely has some life-saving item! Brothers, don't be afraid, this thing must have durability!

【Tai Bao】: I knew he couldn't be this strong! It's all because he's throwing money around!

Tai Pi's face turned pale and green, but his confidence increased instead of decreasing.

So that's it!

He knew it! How could anyone possibly tank the Charge of five warriors head-on!

It turns out he's relying on expensive consumables!

This kind of thing, once used, it's gone!

"I wondered what his trump card was, but it's just burning money!"

Tai Pi gave a sinister laugh and pointed his giant axe forward.

"Focus fire! His talisman is about to break! Drown him with skills!"

At his command, the ranged classes in the back no longer hesitated.

"Whoosh—"

Dozens of spells trailed long tails of fire, mixed with a dense rain of arrows.

Like a brilliant meteor shower of death, they covered the sky and moved toward Chen You!

Facing this sea of skills capable of instantly killing any level 20 player, Chen You still stood in place.

The [Control Below] state activated silently. The freeze, slow, stun, and other control effects attached to those skills were like a gentle breeze, unable to affect him in the slightest.

While everyone's attention was drawn by the spells, a shadowy figure silently emerged in the air beside Chen You.

It was a stealthed Thief; he had seized the perfect opportunity!

A poisoned dagger flashed with a deadly green light, stabbing straight toward Chen You's lower back!

"Die!"

A hint of cruelty flashed in the Thief's eyes, thinking he had succeeded.

However, in the next instant, before his attack could fully unfold.

Chen You acted as if he had eyes in the back of his head and didn't even turn around.

He didn't even change his posture; he simply thrust the yuhuang sword backward casually.

The movement was as effortless as shooing away a fly.

Puchi!

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was clearly audible.

The sinister grin on the Thief's face instantly froze.

He looked down in disbelief at the blade piercing his heart, then turned into a streak of white light and vanished on the spot.

Instant kill!

The entire venue fell silent once again.

Chen You withdrew his longsword and spoke again, his tone carrying a bit of "relief."

"Good thing I spent a hundred gold coins to buy an [Auto-Counterattack Scroll], or that would have been it for me."

Titan Temple team: "..."

The Roman God Clan and Moon Gods Radiance teams in the audience: "..."

Wait, auto-counterattack?

He didn't even have time to attack before you instantly killed him, and you call this a counterattack?

Is this the power of gold coins?

But why can't I find these things in my shop?

Could it be that because you spend more money, there are more things available for you to buy?

All the players watching this scene were dumbfounded.

If skills aren't enough, make up for it with items!

Is this how rich people fight?
