Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 245 The Battle Between Rank 5 (1)
Tang Tianyu and Ren Shuangwen, like Cao Hongyun, had their sights set on fifth-tier students. They avoided anyone they encountered along the way who wasn't fifth-tier, to the point of avoiding them at all costs. Right now, the two of them happened to meet in a valley.
The two stood on opposite sides of the valley. The battle began the moment they spotted each other. Tang Tianyu, who had the fire element attribute, was particularly proactive in this open area. After confirming that his opponent was a fifth-tier student, he did not hesitate and, adhering to the idea of striking first, raised his hand and released a regular fireball to test his opponent's attributes and level of strength.
"Oh? Tang Tianyu instantly cast a fireball. It was fast enough, but its power seemed average. It was probably a probing attack." The commentator was completely captivated by the fifth-tier battle.
Unlike Tang Tianyu, Ren Shuangwen is a cloud-attribute user, which means she can't fully utilize her strength in an open area like a valley. However, Tang Tianyu's attacks were not threatening, so she easily dodged them. At this moment, Lin Anlan suddenly said, "I estimate that this woman will change the battlefield and move towards the forest terrain."
Seeing that Lin Anlan had also become interested in the battle, Su Yang asked, "Why?"
"Judging from her fighting stance and weapons, she's most likely developing into a stealth class. If she were a pioneer or a sharpshooter, she wouldn't carry such a rapier and short dagger. To unleash the full potential of a stealth class, she can only go to the forest or bushland, but if she actually goes to the forest, she'll probably lose." Lin Anlan spoke confidently, very much believing in her judgment.
"If we can unleash our full potential, we might not necessarily lose, right?" Su Yang was somewhat puzzled. He also possessed cloud elemental power. Although he wasn't a stealth class, he felt that cloud elemental power was quite strong, and he wasn't necessarily going to lose.
However, it is obvious that Ren Shuangwen's cloud element strength cannot be compared with Su Yang's. Lin Anlan explained: "Based on my combat experience, cloud element stalkers are most afraid of fire element pioneers, followed by fire element archers. They will behave themselves after being set on fire."
As Lin Anlan expected, the two fought for a while by the stream. Tang Tianyu kept launching fireballs and releasing fire pillars from a distance, trying to figure out Ren Shuangwen's class and attack methods. However, Ren Shuangwen only dodged and did not attack or reveal his secrets. He also kept increasing the distance while dodging, leading Tang Tianyu towards the distant forest.
Seeing that his attacks were completely ineffective and he hadn't obtained any useful information, Tang Tianyu became somewhat frustrated. After unleashing a wide-range burning skill, he immediately drew his sword, preparing to cross the stream and launch his attack. Seeing that Tang Tianyu couldn't hold back any longer, Ren Shuangwen finally released his elemental power for the first time, firing several flying nails that struck the stream, creating a spray of water that collided with the incoming flames, forming a mist. Using this opportunity, Ren Shuangwen increased his speed and quickly headed towards the forest.
After Tang Tianyu passed through the mist, he realized that Ren Shuangwen had already run a relatively long distance away. He drew his sword and chased after him. At the same time, a red light flashed on his bracelet, and his speed immediately increased. The two entered the forest one after the other.
Upon entering the forest, Ren Shuangwen activated his cloud element while leaping to the treetops to conceal himself. Tang Tianyu quickly followed, but lost track of Ren Shuangwen. He immediately became alert, gripping his sword with both hands and cautiously observing his surroundings. The increasingly intense cloud element reaction in the air made him uneasy.
"It seems that Ren Shuangwen has chosen to hide in the treetops, preparing to use the stealth techniques to launch a sneak attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If Tang Tianyu cannot block the first attack, he may really be defeated by Ren Shuangwen!" Even though Tang Tianyu could not see Ren Shuangwen's figure, the elemental projection outside the arena could display the two of them at the same time, and the commentator said with some concern.
"Even if he can't withstand the first blow, Ren Shuangwen will still lose." Lin Anlan held the opposite view from the commentator.
"That shouldn't be the case. If you can't withstand the first attack of the same level and get injured, how can you fight back?" Su Yang subconsciously thought that this was like a battle between masters, where one wrong move could lead to total defeat.
"That's the truth. A few years ago, there were rumors in the adventurer team about the strategies of the Fire Element Pioneer and the Sharpshooter against the Cloud Element Rogue. They had thoroughly studied the Cloud Element Rogue's tactics, and since then, the Fire Element has won ten out of ten battles against the Cloud Element Rogue."
"So, according to you, Ren Shuangwen has never been involved in the adventurer's circle, so he doesn't understand that this move has already been cracked?"
"They should both know that if Ren Shuangwen can really come up with a solution, that would be a different story. However, it's not so easy to come up with a solution, as fire has always been the most destructive of the seven elements."
While Su Yang and Lin Anlan were discussing, Ren Shuangwen had already completed her preparations in the forest. Whenever Tang Tianyu looked away, several trees would inexplicably appear in the woods, and the terrain was changing every second. At the same time, Ren Shuangwen blended into her surroundings, moving silently among the treetops, looking for an opportunity.
Finally, she made her move. Seizing the moment when Tang Tianyu shifted his gaze, she leaped down from the treetop with a slender sword in hand, aiming straight for Tang Tianyu's face. Her speed was as fast as a shooting star. However, Tang Tianyu was no pushover. He was suddenly startled by the murderous intent and immediately turned to the side, barely dodging the attack. But his arm was still cut open.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Ren Shuangwen quickly retreated and disappeared back into the forest. He then launched the same attacks from various directions that Tang Tianyu could not have predicted. The attacks were simple and straightforward. After several rounds, although he did not inflict enough damage on Tang Tianyu to win, he did inflict several wounds on him.
Tang Tianyu was thoroughly enraged by this fighting style. He decisively imbued his sword with fire element and then unleashed several powerful sword strikes. The trees that his sword chopped all fell and burst into flames. However, this haphazard slashing still gave Ren Shuangwen an opportunity, and soon Tang Tianyu's back was injured again.
Seeing that this was not a solution, Tang Tianyu prepared to destroy everything in front of him in one fell swoop. This was a method he had overheard from the adventurers. He began to move quickly, burying elemental pods wherever he went to delay their activation. Ren Shuangwen, unaware of the truth, took the opportunity to attack. The next moment, the elemental pods that Tang Tianyu had prepared exploded under his control. The fierce flames blocked Ren Shuangwen's attack, but created an opportunity for Tang Tianyu. He first fired an instant fireball, followed by a sword strike, which made Ren Shuangwen stagger.
After regaining her footing, Ren Shuangwen tried to conceal herself again, but Tang Tianyu wasn't going to give her the chance. He planted his sword in the ground, clenched his fists, and slammed them into the hilt. The sword was halfway into the ground when he shouted, "Explode!"
In an instant, the ground cracked, and yellow light emanated from countless cracks. Then, a secondary explosion occurred, and a powerful flame impact swept through the surrounding forest. Centered on Tang Tianyu, all the trees within a ten-meter radius were ignited, and the leaves were instantly burned to ashes. Ren Shuangwen was also injured by the secondary explosion, and his body was covered in red marks.
Seeing that the terrain was no longer suitable for concealing her figure for a sneak attack, Ren Shuangwen abandoned the idea and stood up, ready to face Tang Tianyu head-on.
