Chapter 785 231: Champion's Lecture—The Way of Technique
The moment it was announced that the Champion Fighter would soon provide guidance on Phase Kill, the number of viewers in the live stream surged explosively.
Especially the Competition Faction players, who flocked in.
With the live stream feature, they could openly follow and learn the techniques; when the Champion Fighter taught one, it was as if he taught all the players.
Many players were already preparing to edit the upcoming training sessions into video clips, to save and watch repeatedly.
For many players who love combat skills, this was a rare learning opportunity.
The players were all self-taught, their combat always formless.
The vast majority of players facing enemies would rely on attribute supremacy and never use skills to win.
The belief was, if you're weak, just hunt, not train more.
Level up Life Soul Level, Star Vein Level, Body Refining Level, and other combat power indicators, then overpower everything with numerical dominance to win easily.
If you don't use hacks, you're considered a fool.
Learning combat skills seemed meaningless to these players.
As a player, one should fully exploit their specialties to the utmost.
Obviously, being able to cover with firepower and still playing precision shots is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse; hence combat techniques really did seem unconventional in players' eyes.
But still, there was a group that believed enhancing combat skills could bring a deeper gaming experience and a sense of achievement.
They believed that relying purely on numerical dominance, though providing quick victories, lost the challenge within the game.
Winning through skills not only allowed a better understanding of game mechanisms but also showcased higher operational levels and adaptability when facing formidable foes.
It elevated their combat power limit while better mastering their extraordinary bodies.
However, improving combat skills wasn't easy.
The only place players could learn something true was the Liver Emperor Group's live stream.
In the Reverse Tide Training Camp, segments of professional combat instructor teachings were frequently edited and posted on forums.
Each time they would garner significant views.
However, the issue was that this part of combat knowledge didn't apply to all players.
The Reverse Tide Army was a War Corps; its entire combat system was centered around war, not individual duels.
Battle Formation System, Charge System, Siege System... This combat knowledge wasn't centered on the individual; individuals needed to serve the whole, maximizing assembled combat power through tight coordination.
By stacking 1+1+1... it burst out with terrifying combat power capable of skipping levels.
Indeed, top guilds were learning this system.
But ordinary players just watched for fun, and for solo players, it was useless to learn.
However, the knowledge given by the Champion Fighter was clearly different from the Reverse Tide Army.
Comparing the two.
The Champion Fighter focused more on the ultimate performance of the individual, while the Reverse Tide Army emphasized overall coordinated combat.
For players with different faction playstyles, these two systems each had their value.
But for those eager to surpass themselves in combat, the Competition Faction and solo players, the Champion Fighter's teachings were undoubtedly able to help them step out of the chaotic combat mode and onto a higher level.
As explained in a pinned comment in the live stream:
The Champion Fighter was a warrior who emerged from 1V1 duels; all his combat knowledge inevitably serves the maximization of his own abilities, blending techniques, physical fitness, and willpower for ultimate performance.
This was also the reason for the lively atmosphere in the Phase Kill's live stream.
Compared to the Reverse Tide Army's warfare system, the combat system shaped by the Ancient God was more suitable for ordinary players.
Amidst the anticipation of countless players and visitors, three hours passed, and the teleportation finally activated.
Beneath Phase Kill in the arena room of the Eighth Heaven, intertwined space spirit patterns emerged underfoot.
Along with the oncoming weightlessness, the environment in Phase Kill's eyes blurred.
When appearing again, he was already at the Competition Square.
Surrounding clouds seemed to place him in the sky, and the ground was paved with countless black crystal stones.
Around the square stood several colossal warrior statues, each emitting a fierce war intent.
On the east side, a warrior holding a spear stood majestically, the spear pointing directly at Cangqiong, as if piercing the sky, with lightning faintly flashing at the spear's tip.
On the west side, a warrior statue carrying a giant sword hung his head low, both hands on the sword hilt, the blade deeply plunged into the ground, seemingly amassing power to slash forward with force.
On the south side, a warrior bending a bow, fixing an arrow, gazed like an eagle, the bowstring taut, the arrow as if ready to break through the sky, penetrating all obstacles.
On the north side, a warrior holding dual blades, figure nimble, blades intercrossed…
Flashing white light kept appearing around, more warriors teleported in.
Soon, the number of people on the square exceeded ten thousand.
He was selected not because he was unique; there were many like him in the warriors' arena.
Looking around, different forms of Alien Race warriors' silhouettes were everywhere.
At this moment, on a thick stone pillar at the front of the Competition Square, a figure with arms crossed appeared standing.
It's nearly three meters tall, with a humanoid body, its indigo skin gleaming with cold luster, red spiritual patterns intertwined like burning flames, spreading from its shoulders to its arms, finally converging at its chest, forming a lifelike fierce beast totem.
Different from seeing in the video, witnessing the Champion Fighter in person, Phase Kill's face instantly turned pale.
The Qi-Blood fluctuation from the Champion Fighter's body seemed like a rising sun, bursting with endless heat.
