Cao Chenghua's team, who had fallen silent due to Gentle Snow's display, suddenly smiled upon seeing the names for the third match.
Third match: Fierce Snake vs. War Wolf!
Fierce Snake was a Berserker, while War Wolf was a Shield Warrior. Regarding combat power, Berserkers held the advantage over Shield Warriors. However, Shield Warriors possessed high HP and Defense, as well as plenty of lifesaving skills, making them far more difficult to deal with than other classes.
In general, neither class had an edge over the other. Hence, the players' techniques would determine the outcome of this third match.
Gentle Snow looked at the Shield Warrior who had remained silent and calm throughout the competition. Despite doing nothing, War Wolf exuded a faint pressure that made one unconsciously distance themselves from him.
No matter how Gentle Snow examined War Wolf, she could never mistake him for an ordinary expert. Even her core team's MT, Ghost Chop, had admitted that he had only started playing a Shield Warrior because of this man. Furthermore, Cao Chenghua and the rest of his team treated War Wolf with great respect. This showed that War Wolf's standards were top-tier, and he should not be any weaker than Nimble Snake.
Of the Twelve Apostles, Soaring Snake ranked first, Nimble Snake ranked third, and Fierce Snake ranked ninth. If Fierce Snake fought Nimble Snake, his chances of victory only hovered between 30% and 40%.
If War Wolf was stronger than Nimble Snake and was about equal to Soaring Snake, then Fierce Snake's chances of victory were only around 20% to 30%.
However, War Wolf did not play a damage-dealing class; his attacks would not be very powerful. On the other hand, a Berserker also wore plate armor. Unlike leather and cloth armor classes, Berserkers would not die so easily. Knowing this, War Wolf was prepared to fight a battle of attrition and slowly exhaust Fierce Snake to death. After all, that was the Shield Warriors' specialty.
"Fierce Snake, your opponent is not simple. Make sure you don't cross swords with him for too long and give him any openings," Gentle Snow whispered a reminder to Fierce Snake. She then took a gold-rimmed skill book from her bag, carefully handing it to Fierce Snake, saying, "Learn this skill. If you use it at a crucial moment, you might defeat him."
Fierce Snake's heart pounded the moment he read the introduction of this skill book.
This skill book was an extremely rare burst skill for Berserkers, Boiling Fury. For a short time, the skill increased the player's damage by 40%, Strength by 15%, and Attack Speed by 30%. Moreover, the less HP the player had, the faster their Attack Speed would become. To a Berserker, this skill book's value far surpassed that of one or two Dark Gold Weapons.
"Big Sis Snow, Boiling Fury is too valuable. I can't learn it," Fierce Snake said, shaking his head.
"War Wolf will not be easy to deal with, and you know this. You don't want me to lose, right?" Worried that a powerful enemy would appear, Gentle Snow had prepared for this competition. As the Underground Arena prohibited players from using any tools, the only way to raise a player's combat power was to learn new and powerful skills. Boiling Fury was one such skill Gentle Snow had prepared. She also had another Advanced Skill for Nimble Snake. Unfortunately, that skill book would not come into play during these matches.
Sitting a short distance away, Shi Feng was slightly surprised upon seeing the skill book Gentle Snow passed to Fierce Snake.
Gentle Snow had actually obtained such a super-rare skill book.
