Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 2157 Top-Tier Physics? Two by the Roadside!

Many people have already predicted that both teams will start conservatively in the first round.

But the lineup will be officially revealed soon.

Everyone was still shocked to see that both sides had fielded three of their top starters in this round!

Three starters plus two substitutes – this would indeed be a stable lineup for other teams.

But Bianliang City is different from 2008. One side pulled out three thousand-character coins, while the other side pulled out three cross-character coins.

Six super-powerful fighters were brought up in one match, which is a rare sight in the history of the Martial God Tournament!

And the most outrageous thing is...

Although both teams fielded six of their star players in the first game.

But for them, this is truly a solid, conventional lineup...

There's no way around it; having a strong foundation means you can do whatever you want on the Martial God Altar!

While the entire audience was stunned by the super-luxurious lineups that both teams brought out in the first round.

But then the 30-second countdown at the top of the screen disappeared.

The highly anticipated All-Star Finals, which has been eagerly awaited by countless viewers, has finally officially begun!

The battle begins.

In Bianliang City, Fangcun 'Qianchou' immediately secured the fastest speed in the entire arena and unleashed a Soul Loss Talisman, instantly sealing away 2008's daughter, 'Ten Billion Blank Dream'!

Here's an explanation.

The village of 2008, named after a dream of a billion blanks, is the same village that was almost driven to despair by the fans of 2008, the little rich girl 'Blue Sky Night'.

It's just that compared to how naive we were back then.

She has now undergone a complete transformation and become a pillar of the 2008 team.

After officially becoming a core member of the 2008 team.

She was finally able to add a family prefix to her ID, which is now 'A Billion Blank Dream'.

Qianchou ignored everyone else from the start and targeted her immediately.

It was clear that the people inside Bianliang City were well aware of her strength and did not underestimate her just because she had joined later in life.

And then...

Just as Qianchou unleashed a Soul-Stealing Talisman, he sealed him away.

The next person to make a move was immediately the daughter of Bianliang City, the "sister-in-law".

Lotus steps light and graceful—

She decisively threw out a graceful, lotus-like movement.

This seal was firmly placed under the feet of the 2008-square-foot 'nun'.

Many of the 2008 fans in the audience immediately became restless—

"Wait... with wind blasts on both sides, how come our 2008's speed was still blasted like this?"

"Do you even understand the significance of a god-level double seal in the game? Qianchou + Little Sister-in-law, this combination has been an unbeatable force since the day they debuted!"

"Bianliang City has no martial ethics! What happened to the gentleman's agreement? What's the meaning of bringing up the first and second divine titles of Fantasy Westward Journey at the same time?"

"Good grief! Dude, can you please understand what a gentleman's agreement means before you start talking? A gentleman's agreement only requires both sides to ban nothing during the ban/pick phase, and then both sides to maintain the same strategy. Everything else is up to you, understand?"

"To be fair, the fact that these two gentlemen were brought up in the first round of the Bianliang City shows that they are really taking it very seriously."

"This is a pretty bad start to 2008. They got completely crushed right from the start with a double shutout..."

Looking at Fangcun and his daughter, both wearing seals on their feet, in 2008.

Fans of 2008 were truly speechless at this scene.

They certainly understood that facing the unparalleled, god-like double-seal combination in Bianliang City was a formidable challenge.

It was entirely predictable that our team would be pressured at the start of the game with a double shutout.

But even though we anticipated it, when it actually happened, we fans still felt immense pressure.

Available soon.

Before they could say more...

Just then, the sister-in-law sealed the nun in place.

Suddenly, the daughter from 2008, 'A Billion Blank Dream', began to move—

Flowing Cloud Technique!

To the relief of many fans, when it was their daughter's turn to act, she was not punished by being made to stand in the corner, but instead cleverly hung a cloud on herself.

In this way, the billion-blank dream did not waste this turn, and at the same time, it can increase its speed by 10%, which is crucial in the speed-seizing of the sealing class.

And then...

Just as I finished wrapping myself in the dream of a billion blank clouds.

When it was 2008 Fangcun's turn to play as the 'Nun,' he, who was also banned at the start, didn't stand still as punishment, but instead used another special skill—

Stasis!

They watched helplessly as the nun froze and fell at the feet of 'Qianchou', a mere inch of Bianliang City.

The audience was stunned for a moment, then erupted into a clamor.

"Holy crap! Bai Ye cast Flowing Clouds, and now the nun has cast Freeze on Qian Chou?"

"Wow, with this back and forth, it feels like Qianchou's speed is going to be slowed down?"

"It's highly likely that we won't be able to maintain the first speed advantage. Bai Ye increased his speed by 10%, and Qian Chou's speed was reduced by 10%. If Qian Chou can still maintain the first speed advantage after this back and forth, then it's not a hardware problem, but a bug in the game!"

"Yes, yes, 2008's response was excellent. They didn't care about anything else and just focused on stabilizing the speed. That's the only solution against Bianliang City."

"I have a feeling that the intensity of both sides won't be very high this round, but the next round will definitely be explosive!..."

Looking at the 2008 double seal, which was both turbulent and stagnant.

The 2008 fans in the audience were extremely pleased to see this.

at last.

After fighting so many times against those monsters in Bianliang City, paying so much tuition, and enduring so much humiliation.

In 2008, these guys finally found the real way to explore Bianliang City!

Although the course of the game is still completely unclear.

But based on his actions in 2008, where he was initially blocked by two special skills but calmly turned the tide and defeated Bianliang City, he still managed to win.

Many people can conclude that even if 2008 loses this game, the situation will definitely not be much better!

Meanwhile.

After the two teams completed their initial exchange.

The next to make a move was Bianliang City's 'Qiandu'.

A smile hiding a dagger—

When it was Qiandu's turn to make a move, amidst a sea of ​​unsuspecting gazes, he did so.

Instead of using the usual opening move of a healer to cast Vajra on the team's physical attacker, he directly used Hidden Dagger on the opposing Heavenly Palace 'Fairy'!

And then...

Before everyone could recover from their shock...

Just as Qian Du finished throwing the joke, it was 2008's turn to transform into the 'Taoist nun'.

As if he had gained supernatural insight, he didn't summon Vajra, but instead directly threw a Hidden Dagger in Laughing at the Lion Camel 'Thousand Blades' of Bianliang City!

"???"

"No... what... what kind of operation is this??"

"Good heavens! These two can't even become Vajra warriors, so they're resorting to military strategy, huh?"

"I could have predicted that Qiandu would laugh at Fairy, but I never expected that the Daoist nun would turn around and do the same to Brother Xiaorenzi!"

"Damn, are these two teams playing the game while logged into YY (a voice chat platform)? Their movements are so synchronized!"

"How many times have I emphasized this to you? Noob teams have their own noob methods, but strong teams always have similar strategies. To determine the winner, it mainly depends on which team's commander can have a flash of inspiration at the crucial moment and pull off an unexpected move to take down the opponent in one fell swoop!"

"Indeed, these two teams' healers can be said to be the pinnacle of the Fantasy Westward Journey world, especially the Taoist nun. I remember she even played a demon healer for a while, right?"

"I've played it, and I still vividly remember that four-game winning streak!"

"That's right! I won't say much about Qian Du, he's a textbook example of traditional chemistry and biology. While the Dao Gu is a bit more abstract in comparison, her hard skills are actually no less than Qian Du's. It's perfectly normal for these two to laugh at each other's physics at the beginning."

"Thousand Blade Fairy: What about the two of us??"

"Interesting, so interesting! I didn't expect these two teams to play so excitingly right from the start of the first game. At this rate, I feel like this final might go the full BO3..."

I watched helplessly as Qian Du first laughed away the anger of the 2008 Heavenly Palace Fairy.

Then in 2008, the Taoist nun in the game "Transformation" once again made a laugh that quelled the anger of the Lion Camel Thousand Blades in Bianliang City.

The audience was completely bewildered by the two genies' amazing actions, and after they realized what was happening, they immediately started arguing!

Bianliang City and the main support players of 2008, Qian Du and Dao Gu, have always been top-tier support players that everyone talks about.

I won't say much about Qiandu, as those players have already said.

In the realm of traditional support champions, Qian Du is undoubtedly a textbook example. To date, his skill, achievements, and influence in the support role are unparalleled.

The Taoist nun, however, entered the profession much later.

First of all, in terms of influence, he is far behind Qiandu.

But influence only affects your fame, not your ability.

Compared to Qiandu's 'rigid' approach.

The Taoist nun was quite adept at playing the game. When she debuted as a demonic nun, she caused a sensation on various Fantasy Westward Journey forums and was jokingly called the "Creator of Four Great Joys" by many players.

Although the Taoist nun soon returned to traditional practices.

But the legend of him instantly defeating a group of top-tier players with his rambling and nonsensical manner is still widely circulated in the Fantasy Westward Journey community.

So from this point of view, the Taoist nun is actually more flexible in her thinking than Qian Du.

Of course, this is just an analysis from the audience's perspective.

In fact, whether it was Qian Du or the Daoist nun, during the period when they became famous, it was all Fang Yun who was behind the scenes.

In other words.

You think Qiandu is more rigid than Daogu, or you think Daogu is not as composed as Qiandu.

Those were just 'personas' that Fang Yun deliberately created for these accounts.

Later, Fang Yun gradually began to relinquish control, handing over these accounts to the players of his team.

However, they still managed to inherit their style relatively well, which was something Fang Yun hadn't actually expected.

all in all.

Qiandu and the Taoist nun exchanged jokes at the start of the game.

While leaving many people stunned, it also made everyone even more eager to see how the game would unfold!

It's common knowledge that countless teams often find themselves suppressed in the first round, crushed in the second, and then defeated in the third when facing these two teams.

For the vast majority of viewers.

Let alone going against the wind, even in a game like this where the two sides are evenly matched for most of the first half of the round.

Many of them had never even seen them before!

And that is precisely why.

It's clear that both teams are aiming for a draw in the first round.

For viewers who have been eagerly anticipating a close match between Bianliang City and 2008, it's no exaggeration to say that they are as happy as if it were Chinese New Year!

Just when everyone was looking forward to seeing what new tricks these two teams would pull next.

But then, after the Taoist nun finished throwing the laughter into Qianren's eyes...

As expected, the fairy who was supposed to make a move was forced to stand in the corner as punishment.

While the Fairy was being punished by standing in the corner, it was Qianren's turn.

Amidst a sea of ​​bewildered and amused gazes.

He, too, couldn't escape being punished by standing in the corner, remaining motionless like a student who had made a mistake...

"Even though I expected this to happen, it's still hard not to laugh..."

"Hahaha! One is Fairy Bro and the other is Blade Bro, two top-tier physics players who are legendary in the Martial God Altar. They actually both started the game by standing in the corner. This is truly something I've never seen before!"

"What a waste! I can't even imagine what would happen if those two could have made a move this time. Whether it's Bianliang City or 2008, at least one of them would have fallen first!"

"Is it possible that the two teams gave up on the King Kong and were throwing jokes at each other precisely because they were afraid of the situation you described?"

"I can understand that guy's thinking. After all, these are Fairy Bro and Blade Bro, god-level physicists who can kill with just a glare. It's such a waste that they're both being punished by standing in the corner this round."

"There's no other way. This is the All-Star finals after all. One side wants to defend their championship, and the other wants to win their second title. Neither side wants to give the other even the slightest chance. Directly blocking the opponent's big shots is the most effective way."

"You can't defend yourself for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. I feel like playing defensively isn't very meaningful. Both sides' offensive capabilities are too overpowered. We might have to fight like madmen next round!"

The simultaneous standing punishment of Fairy and Thousand Blades was incredibly tense for the entire audience.

Just like they complained.

Either of these two, if taken out separately, would be a terrifying existence that could shake the entire Martial God Altar with a single stomp.

However, in today's final match, they were reduced to mere bystanders right from the start, without even a chance to make a move, and their prestige was almost shattered.

But soon.

Just as everyone was joking that the two top physicists were being punished by being made to stand in the corner.

But then it was finally the turn of the 2008 Lion Camel 'Rich Woman' to make her move.

Bloodthirsty Frenzy -

It was the rich woman's turn to make a move. Since Bianliang City was only focused on targeting 2008's double seal and Fairy at the beginning, the neglected rich woman seized the opportunity and rushed towards the dragon turtle in front of Qianchou with a Bloodthirst attack!

Swish, swish—

-

4674!

-

5126!

Two swift slashes pierced the blood as the blade fell.

Two astonishingly brutal damage effects appeared.

Before Qianchou's dragon turtle could even react, it was instantly sent flying at full health!

Holy crap!

"Worthy!"

"No... are you sure those two slashes weren't critical hits??"

"Damn, even slicing a watermelon isn't this smooth..."

"Idiot! Stop marveling at the damage the rich guy inflicted; the target of his Bloodthirst skill is actually more important!"

"Yeah, Rich Girl Bro's damage is so explosive. If he could instantly kill Qian Chou, even if he couldn't take him down, he'd at least be severely crippled, right?"

"It's not that simple. I guess Bianliang City probably had a backup plan, but I didn't expect that the other side didn't care about Qianchou from the beginning, but instead focused on his pace!"

"Damn! Playing a game in this crappy Dream World is such a brain drain..."

Watching Qianren swiftly slash twice, instantly sending Qianchou's full-health, speed-boosting dragon turtle flying out of the arena.

Especially when you see the two incredibly powerful attacks he unleashed in a flash.

The audience was utterly amazed! (End of Chapter)
