Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 887 Sword Pointing at Shaotian

Just as countless people were marveling at the recent clash, a dazzling sword light ignited the scene once again.

Having finally made it through a difficult journey, Liu Xiaobie has now completely found his direction.

Last season, he won the one-on-one title, which was the best proof of his individual strength. But that wasn't enough; he didn't think that was his limit, and he didn't want to dwell on past glories. So this summer, he trained even harder. And now, after half a season of real-world experience and testing, Liu Xiaobie is stronger than last year!

Awards like "King of One-on-One" are no longer his goal. He now has only one goal: that one and only title in the realm of glory—Sword Saint!

Sword Saint is an unofficial title, but it is the most recognized title among players. The person who obtains this title is the number one swordsman in the game!

And that's exactly what Liu Xiaobie wants right now.

As for the young man in front of him, he admitted that he was a very outstanding newcomer, but he was not someone he was particularly looking forward to or wanted to defeat.

Phantom Sword!

Liu Xiaobie unleashed another powerful attack, and in terms of damage output when all skills landed, even the swordsman's latest level 76 skills couldn't match its power. Therefore, even with skill level increases, Phantom Sword remains the swordsman's strongest damage-dealing skill. Not to mention, with the increase in the level cap, this skill can naturally be upgraded, further enhancing its damage output!

But these are not the points that will shock the audience.

"Sixteen swords!" With the exclamations of the two commentators beside Qiao Jingjing, the audience looked up at the big screen on the field.

There, on one side is the replay, and on the other side are statistics such as the player's operation speed.

On the split screen displaying the statistics, the number of attacks Lu Hanwen had just launched was clearly recorded.

Sixteen swords!

The Phantom Sword is a skill whose upper and lower limits are determined by skillful operation. Since its inception, the highest record in the professional league is thirteen sword strikes, but just now, Liu Xiaobie has added three sword strikes to this record!

This was something that could only be accomplished through his extremely fast hand speed; there was no other way.

In that instant, the once noisy venue became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the next moment, thunderous applause, more intense than ever before, filled the entire venue.

This is Tiny Herb's home turf, and their players have made a record-breaking play here. If we don't support them now, when will we?

Unleashing a sixteen-sword combo with the Phantom Invisible Sword—even Huang Shaotian of Blue Rain wouldn't have that ability, right? But this seemingly impossible feat was accomplished by their player, Liu Xiaobie. And he did it while Blue Rain's rookie was challenging them.

Lu Hanwen's Flowing Clouds technique finally fell to the final strike of the Phantom Invisible Sword. As he left his seat and returned to the stage, he once again captured the audience's attention, but everyone knew that this time, he wasn't the main character.

Don't say that Lu Hanwen is just a rookie. Even as a rookie, Lu Hanwen is now an All-Star. In addition, given the serious attitude of both sides in this match, no one doubts the value of these sixteen sword strikes.

Anyone who disagrees, come and try it yourself!

"Xiao Bie has improved a lot," Xiao Nai said with some emotion. Because of his hand speed, the two had talked about it when they were training with Tiny Herb. At that time, Xiao Nai gave him two suggestions. One was the path Tang Rou took in the original work. Since his control ability was not good, he should improve it to the limit. If his current hand speed could not beat his opponent, he should continue to improve his hand speed. The other was the path that Liu Xiao Bie took now, which was also the path he took in the original work.

Clearly, Liu Xiaobie still chose the original path, but because he started practicing earlier than in the original story, he unleashed more sword strikes this time. Don't underestimate the difference in a single sword strike; at their current level, every additional strike represents a breakthrough towards their limits.

"Indeed impressive," Ye Xiu said. He also greatly admired Liu Xiaobie's breakthrough.

"I wonder how many sword strikes I could unleash... I'll try it out with my swordsman account when we get back," Tang Rou said, sounding eager. At this moment, Chen Guo asked Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu, "How many sword strikes could you two unleash?"

"I don't know. I'm not that skilled with swords. But it depends on the situation when fighting an opponent. If the opponent dodges or blocks, then it's pointless to slash a few times. The beauty of Xiao Bie's technique is that all his attacks are effective," Xiao Nai said.

"So, in terms of the limit, how many swords can you cut?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu this time. Xiao Nai was mainly proficient in the Gunner class, which Chen Guo naturally knew, so she focused her attention on Ye Xiu, the textbook of Glory.

"I haven't tried it," Ye Xiu said, shaking his head.

"I've tried, and I can only manage seven strikes at most in the training ground," Chen Guo said somewhat dejectedly.

"Um... Sister Chen, can you use your own experience as an example, seriously?" Xiao Nai asked.

"Xiao Nai! You'd better die!" Chen Guo exploded, delivering a powerful blow to Xiao Nai's forehead, letting him know what the boss's authority was like!

She'd made up her mind; tonight she was going to take over Jingjing and let Xiao Nai experience what it meant to be an "incompetent husband."

After reprimanding Xiao Nai, Chen Guo turned her attention to Baozi and asked, "Baozi, what about you?"

“I don’t think the number sixteen is good. Fifteen is better. The vice-captain said that the fifteenth hexagram is the only one among all hexagrams where all six lines are auspicious,” Baozi said.

Chen Guo: "..." Hmm, this line of thinking... is just like a steamed bun...

The match ended with Liu Xiaobie securing a stunning victory in the Rookie Challenge. The applause from the audience was thunderous; such enthusiasm from a Rookie Challenge is truly remarkable.

As the match ended, the projected image began to slowly disappear. It didn't vanish instantly, but rather gradually faded away from the outside in, like snow meeting the blazing sun.

After all, it's an All-Star event, so naturally everything has to be done in a flashy and cool direction.

Just before the projection completely disappeared, Flying Knife Sword, who hadn't left the arena, suddenly swung his lightsaber, Flowing Soul, and with a flash of light, thrust it in one direction. With this thrust, Flying Knife Sword's figure vanished completely from everyone's sight.

Many people were puzzled by this scene, but some observant people immediately looked in the direction from which the flying knife and sword were thrust.

At that moment, the electronic screen projected a camera in the direction the sword was pointing, focusing on Blue Rain, and the person in the camera's view was none other than Huang Shaotian of the Blue Rain team! (End of Chapter)
