Lin Yi looked at the Lingxi War God Cheng Xiao on the judges’ panel, lost in thought.
Today’s draw ceremony should be stable...
Imagine a great power capable of concealing fate and altering destinies present, could really let the Xia Team draw a losing lot?
In the scene, the head referee’s hand emerged from the draw box.
After peeling off the outer shell of the ball sign, the number written inside was strikingly 009!
This is the contestant number.
The contestant numbers were already sorted before the start of the contest.
As the strongest team representative over the years and the former holder of the Inverted Sky Tower, Xia naturally received very forward numbers.
In the lounge, everyone’s gaze simultaneously shifted towards a girl sitting in the corner.
Because the number 009, was her number!
Her name is Zhou Xinyu, the only visible Priest in the entire Xia Team.
The competition is generally lenient towards Priest-type roles.
After all, it’s an auxiliary role, so in previous matches, it usually involved Priests versus Priests.
Furthermore, the Priests were of a supportive nature, pitted against others of a similar kind.
Violent-type Priest roles weren’t included in this category.
Although the matches lacked excitement, it was basically several girls pulling each other’s hair.
Yet Zhou Xinyu was able to stand out and make it into the top 16, indicating she had some skill.
Zhou Xinyu was very nervous.
Because after entering the top 16, there was no so-called protective rule for auxiliary roles anymore.
The opponent she faced would be a regular adversary.
"No... it’s okay."
"I will do my best!"
Zhou Xinyu, not very tall and looking cute, was now cheering herself up.
"Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, Zhou."
"Your opponent might not be as strong as you think."
Zhao Enquan smiled and consoled her.
However, when another referee drew another number from the draw box.
Zhao Enquan’s smile froze.
On the large screen, Zhou Xinyu’s opponent number showed striking as 024!
Actually, every representative team orders numbers internally based on strength.
The smaller the number, the more front-ranked within their team.
For example, Lin Yi as 001, and before Lin Yi came, acting captain Guo Yinglong was 002.
The number 024 indicates this player is the fourth position of their representative team.
"Jin Meihui, fourth-position player from Goryeo, profession: Assassin... "
Zhao Enquan, who had memorized all the other teams’ players, recognized Zhou Xinyu’s opponent upon seeing the number.
Everyone’s expressions were not looking good.
Priest versus Assassin, it was a matchup where superiority or inferiority could be judged almost without thinking.
The Priest character, with inherently few attacking methods, had almost no means to counter an invisible, high-speed target.
Even if there were, the cooldown time is long, usable once, and not again a second time.
"Ahem, Zhou..."
"Don’t push yourself too hard, if victory is truly impossible, it’s okay to concede, we don’t want you getting hurt, the team match is where you truly shine."
Zhao Enquan shifted his tone, already considering letting Zhou Xinyu conserve her strength for the team match.
Zhou Xinyu bit her lip.
Though usually gentle, at this moment, she had an intense desire to win.
Lin Yi, who had quietly been observing, suddenly spoke up.
"I watched your matches with others before, before applying buffs on yourself, you actually can’t compete with your opponent, but after you apply three or four buffs, all your attributes, including skill damage, increased a lot."
"Do you have any innate buffs or enhancements?"
After all, innate talents are personal privacy.
Though Lin Yi possesses the Eye of Omniscience, he wouldn’t use it on his teammates.
So he symbolically asked a question.
Zhou Xinyu was more nervous upon seeing Lin Yi talking to her.
But she quickly replied: "I... I do have an SS-level talent, but it’s not for boosting my gain skills."
"Well... I’ll show it to everyone."
After saying that, Zhou Xinyu directly chose to share the details of her talent.
With everyone in a team status, shared information could be seen easily.
The next moment, a light screen appeared, Lin Yi and the others clearly saw Zhou Xinyu’s talent information.
[Holy Radiance Divine Protection:]
[Grade: SS-level]
[Effect 1: The duration of all negative states you receive is reduced by 80%, and you naturally have a 40% resistance to abnormal effects.]
[Effect 2: The effects of all gain-type effects you receive are increased by 500%, and the duration extended by 500%]
The value this talent gives made Lin Yi feel dazzled.
What kind of innate Buff Sacred Body is this!
Honestly, he was envious!
With this talent, experience points and skill points gain could soar from 30% to 180%!
Almost a 2-fold increase.
The reason Zhou Xinyu had been winning all along was due to her overwhelming attributes.
And this talent didn’t enhance her gain skills; it merely amplified the gain skills she receives.
Now, something no longer needed pondering.
Lin Yi first looked at Zhao Enquan and asked, "Manager, I want to confirm with you, the cheat methods mentioned in the rules, what exactly do they mean?"
"If I apply a buff on Zhou Xinyu before she takes the stage, is it considered a violation?"
Zhao Enquan was taken aback: "You can apply buffs to others?"
Lin Yi nodded.
"Of course, it’s not a violation."
"The cheat methods by the event side actually can be simply summarized as ’external force’!"
"As long as it’s something that is extraneous to your team’s self, whether a buff, a skill, equipment, or items."
"Any incongruence with prior event records would be considered a violation."
"But team members applying buffs to other team members falls entirely within the permissible range, this has always been the norm in numerous editions."
Lin Yi nodded: "That makes it easier."
Zhao Enquan: "Wait, Lin Yi, I know you’re probably a jack-of-all-trades, possessing the capacity to buff others."
"But Priests’ gain statuses mostly feature high-tier overriding low-tier ones, which are not stackable."
Zhao Enquan was subtly dissuading Lin Yi.
Each trade has its specializations.
If a Mage provides more powerful buffs than a Priest.
Then why would a team need a Priest?
Lin Yi, however, did not refute.
He simply beckoned, saying, "Those about to go on and participate, come a bit closer to me."
"I’ll apply a buff for you."
Seeing Lin Yi hold his ground, Zhao Enquan was not angry.
After all, Lin Yi was the captain, perhaps he truly had unexpected surprises.
The other five were also puzzled, yet obediently moved closer to Lin Yi.
And at the next moment, they neither saw Lin Yi chant nor make any gestures.
Suddenly, golden light erupted before their eyes!
The bell of heaven tolled, and holy hymns resonated around their ears!
[X37!]
Multiple spells emerged, the overlapping golden light and chorus, turning surreal once again!
Zhao Enquan could never have anticipated...
Lin Yi’s so-called "applying a buff" would be such a formidable spectacle!
Moreover, Zhao Enquan himself was included by Lin Yi.
When Zhao Enquan checked the buff he had just received, named [Light Wing Blessing].
He felt his mind go blank!
Wow!
This buff could let even a dog take the stage and win!
