Chapter 18 The Heart That Plays Tactics Is Dirty
Hearing the researchers' discussion, Chen Qingshan smiled and looked at Lu Hu: "How is it, Instructor Lu?"
I only agreed to let Fang Zhou be Ye Fan's sparring partner because of you.
Who do you think will win?
Lu Hu grinned and said without hesitation, "Is there even a question? Of course it's the Ark!"
"Twenty skeletons, as long as Ark maintains the distance and prevents Ye Fan from getting close, he can fight them head-on!"
Chen Qingshan smiled mysteriously and said, "Instructor Lu, no matter how many skeletons there are on the Ark, it doesn't change the fact that he is a mage with a fragile body."
Ye Fan just mastered an extremely powerful movement skill yesterday; it might surprise you!
Lu Hu's expression changed slightly.
He naturally knew how much of a threat a combatant with powerful movement skills posed to a physically weak mage during sparring sessions during the apprenticeship stage.
However, Lu Hu thought about it again and felt relieved.
Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Even if Ark loses to Ye Fan, it's not a big deal since both are rare professions.
We can get our revenge next time!
At this moment, seeing that Fang Zhou and Ye Fan were ready to take their positions, Chen Qingshan, who was acting as the referee, blew the whistle.
The battle began, and Ye Fan launched a ranged attack with lightning speed.
The bow was drawn taut, and a sharp arrow shot straight toward the ark.
Fang Zhou reacted extremely quickly, having anticipated the attack, and easily dodged it by sidestepping the attack.
Simultaneously, quickly cast [Summon Skeletons], a black vortex appears, and a group of robust skeletons appear on the training ground.
They formed a tight encirclement, attempting to trap Ye Fan.
With the [Proficient] level [Summon Skeleton] skill, coupled with the [Apprentice Staff], Ark has not only greatly improved in terms of summoning strength and quantity, but also significantly increased the casting range.
This was clearly beyond Ye Fan's expectations.
An ordinary apprentice-level necromancer can only summon skeletons within five meters of themselves.
However, the Ark's summoning range is a full fifteen meters.
Fortunately, the Apprentice Boots that Ye Fan chose had a slight increase in movement speed, and as a Demon Hunter, his agility attribute was already very high.
Before the Ark's sea of skeletons could fully form, Ye Fan decisively abandoned his ranged attack tactics and tried to use his speed advantage to bypass the group of skeletons that were aggressively rushing towards him.
He used his agile movements to move around the training ground, constantly looking for openings, drawing his bow and shooting arrows, trying to interfere with Ark's spellcasting.
The bladed bow in his hands struck like a whirlwind, arrows raining down like a storm.
Fang Zhou remained calm upon seeing this. While dodging, he summoned several skeletons in front of him to act as meat shields.
However, this undoubtedly greatly reduced the density of the skeleton horde's pursuit and interception of Ye Fan, and the battlefield situation instantly became complicated.
Outside the training ground, the instructors and researchers all became serious.
They hadn't expected the battle between the two apprentice-level professionals to be so exciting right from the start.
Whether it was Ye Fan's superb mobile shooting skills and decisive tactical choices, or Fang Zhou's calm and composed response and extremely skillful summoning of skeletons, they were all impressed.
Seeing this, Chen Qingshan exclaimed to Lu Hu, "The younger generation is truly formidable!"
I'm not surprised at all that Ye Fan has this ability.
On the contrary, it is truly incredible that Fang Zhou, a necromancer known for his weakness, possesses such a fighting spirit.
Even if he loses to Ye Fan today, I still acknowledge that he deserves to be included in the seeding list.
Lu Hu snorted and said, "Old Chen, don't be too happy yet."
Fang Zhou is a very calm and experienced young man. Ye Fan has a trump card, and I don't believe he doesn't have one either!
Meanwhile, on the training field, Ye Fan was already falling into a disadvantageous position step by step.
The Ark's Master level Summon Skeleton skill is just too overpowered.
The already small training ground space has gradually been filled with his skeletons.
With its full power, the Ark can summon more than 30 robust skeletons.
To be prepared for any eventuality, he would definitely need to preserve some of his mental energy.
Even so, the field was already filled with more than 20 skeletons.
Ye Fan was unknowingly surrounded by 10 skeletons.
"Revenge Strike!"
Ye Fan roared and swung his bladed bow horizontally, which gleamed with a sharp metallic luster.
Click.
The skull of one of the skeletons in front of him was severed by this attack, and its soul fire was extinguished, scattering into a pile of skeletons on the ground.
Ye Fan's eyes narrowed, and he decisively tried to seize this gap to break out of the skeletons' encirclement.
Unfortunately, under Fang Zhou's brilliant command, two more skeletons quickly pounced and blocked Ye Fan's path.
Seeing Ye Fan charging left and right through the skeleton horde, displaying great power but unable to break through, Fang Zhou breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This kid is really tough; he's much harder to deal with than that clumsy test puppet.
Judging from Ye Fan's confident demeanor, he must have some trump cards up his sleeve, so we can't be careless.
So, Fang Zhou placed several skeletons in front of him to block Ye Fan's view, and then decisively took off his robes and staff, handing them to a skeleton about the same height as him.
Afterward, he put on optical camouflage cloth and blended into the group of skeletons in front of him.
At this moment, as the Ark slipped away and blended into the horde of skeletons right before everyone's eyes, the instructors and researchers outside the arena looked at each other blankly, speechless.
Where did these old silver coins come from?
No wonder Ark chose optical camouflage fabric!
Who exactly trained these students?
Despite having a significant advantage on the field, they remained remarkably cautious.
From Ye Fan's perspective, almost all the viewers were moved to tears.
That's terrible, Ye Fan is really in a terrible situation.
At the very beginning of his professional career, he chose such an old silver coin opponent. Hopefully, he won't be psychologically traumatized by the defeat.
"Hahaha!" Lu Hu laughed loudly, patting Chen Qingshan on the shoulder: "Brother Qingshan, compared to Fang Zhou, Ye Fan is still too green."
With this optical camouflage alone, Ark is now in an invincible position.
I don't believe that Ye Fan, a mere apprentice, could cast that powerful movement skill you described twice.
Chen Qingshan stared blankly for a long time before finally coming to his senses, exclaiming incredulously, "How could Fang Zhou be so insidious?"
Lu Hu stroked his chin and pondered, "In the practical training a few days ago, I demonstrated to them how to camouflage on the battlefield."
Perhaps Ark had already considered this tactic at that time.
Haha, what a promising talent!
While the instructors and researchers outside the arena were mourning Ye Fan, Ye Fan himself was completely unaware, his heart filled with confidence.
It's in the bag, this one's in the bag!
Attract a few more skeletons!
At this point, there were nearly 20 skeletons surrounding Ye Fan, which meant that the number of skeletons remaining around the Ark had been reduced to less than 10.
good chance!
Ye Fan took a deep breath, his pupils flashing with determination and courage.
