Chapter 194 Victory in the first battle

Richard's battle was the same as O'Neill's, as he was among the first to go into battle.

So after seeing their names light up on the magic circle, the two of them quickly went down and found their own duel arena.

Richard's opponent is a level 4 warrior from a small noble family. He was promoted to a level 4 warrior when he was less than 30 years old. He does not have the resources of a big family, so it can be said that his talent is very good.

And that's exactly what he thought.

He was very happy after seeing that his opponent was only a fourth-level wizard and not well-known.

The battle between Richard and Oriel took place in the Dover family's manor, so it was naturally not something he could find out about.

With the borrowed anti-magic equipment, he felt that he had a good chance of defeating Richard.

After winning, he will get half of Richard's points, five points.

Even if it is converted into gold coins, he can get 50,000 gold coins, which is already the price of several enchanted equipment for him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be filled with fighting spirit.

Opposite him, Richard had a bored look on his face.

After all, he is just a fourth-level warrior. Even if he is covered with anti-magic equipment, Richard doesn't take it seriously now.

There are more than 700 contestants participating in the competition, which means that the points they have are worth at least 70 million gold coins, and these are just the contestants from Dover Province.

After the fight, there will be a long rest period. After all, both magic power and fighting spirit need to be restored through practice after the battle. In addition, there are sixteen duel arenas and more than seven hundred contestants. It is estimated that they will not have to go on the field today.

After waiting for a high-level professional referee to announce the start of the duel, Richard immediately took action. Relying on his extremely high elemental affinity, he knocked his fourth-level warrior opponent to the ground with just two consecutive fire storms.

The opponent was also confused. Is this really the casting speed and elemental affinity that a fourth-level wizard can possess?

As soon as Richard made a move, he realized that the anti-magic equipment he had prepared was no match for the attack.

After taking on two firestorms, in order to maintain his condition and accept the next battle, he had to admit defeat.

Afterwards, the referee announced that Richard had won the duel.

Richard's score also increased by five points, now reaching fifteen points.

Richard looked around and found that everyone, including O'Neill, was still fighting hard.

Then he left the duel venue.

There are more than 700 contestants in the duel competition, and even the preliminary round will not be completed in one day.

Therefore, the organizers thoughtfully prepared a place for rest.

Richard found Mr. Parker waiting in the rest area. As he was only a level 4 fighter in the first battle, Parker was not worried about Richard's victory or defeat at all.

He took out several prepared seventh-level chaos magic from the space ring and handed them to Richard.

"These are all treasures of the Dover family. Although there are many similar magic inheritances out there, Richard, you can't make magic books and sell them."

After reaching a contract with Parker, Richard quickly returned to his room and began to practice seventh-level chaos magic.

……

After a tough fight, O'Lear finally defeated his opponent by relying on his slight advantage in equipment and fighting skills, and won the first game.

However, when he proudly stepped down and was ready to show off.

But he found that Richard and Parker were nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Richard?"

"It seems he went to the rest area."

A contestant from Parker's team replied.

Just now, Richard resolved the battle very quickly. He was also shocked by the strength displayed by Richard, so he paid some attention to it.

Upon hearing this, O'Neill walked towards the rest area and ran into Parker who had returned to watch the game.

"Ollier, how was your game?"

Olier replied proudly: "After a hard fight, I finally defeated the fifth-level warrior of the Hughes family."

"good."

Parker praised.

Although the Hughes family is a marquisate family, the equipment they provide to the contestants is not much different from that of the Dover family. The fact that O'Leary was able to defeat his opponent shows that he has been studying hard during this period.

"Mr. Parker, where is Richard?"

Oriel finally defeated a level 5 warrior, so how could he not show off in front of Richard!

"Richard has already finished the battle. He has to learn new magic recently, so he won't be traveling with you."

New magic?

Richard advanced?

O'Neill's originally happy mood because of the victory suddenly became depressed. He originally thought that his efforts in this period were enough to defeat Richard, but if Richard advanced and he remained where he was, wouldn't it mean that the gap between the two would become even bigger?

As a quasi-marquis, how could Parker not see that O'Neill wanted to compete with Richard?

But Richard's strength is not enough. Not to mention O'Neill, even myself, without the treasure inherited from my family, I dare not say that I can win!

Parker patted O'Neal on the shoulder and said, "Go back and have a good rest and prepare for the next game!"

"Richard, you'd better work harder to defeat you. Oriel, you have the resources of the Dover family, so you may be able to catch up later."

Parker knew very well what kind of words could inspire O'Neal's fighting spirit.

Sure enough, after hearing Mr. Parker's "sincere" comfort, O'Neill immediately regained his energy.

"Although I am not as good as Richard now, that was because I didn't practice hard enough before. Now I have put in 120% of my effort. Isn't it just a matter of minutes to surpass Richard?"

……

After a day and a half of fighting, the first battle of the preliminary round finally ended.

The points of more than 300 people were reduced to five points, and nearly 200 of them directly chose to give up. As for the remaining 100 or so people, they thought that the players they met were too strong and chose to continue fighting.

Apart from Richard, the rest of the participating senior professionals were observing their opponents. After all, the further the competition progressed, the more likely they were to encounter each other, so it was necessary to study their opponents' playing styles in advance.

Among them, two senior professionals were unlucky and encountered it in advance.

Although the two high-level professionals were both level seven, they also fought fiercely. The two sides fought for nearly an hour, and the level seven knight was slightly ahead thanks to the advantage of his Warcraft mount.

Richard also chose to leave after the battle. Although nearly two hundred people withdrew, the remaining people were all players who were confident in their own abilities, or wanted to gain some combat experience and were not short of gold coins.

After all, if you lose a game, you will lose half of your points, which is tens of thousands of gold coins.

During this day and a half, Oriel saw the various geniuses in the Province of Dover and realized that he was just a frog in a well.

Looking at Richard in front of him, O'Neill no longer had the desire to confront him as he had in the past.

Richard was just like himself, a stepping stone for these top geniuses.

Richard glanced at Oriel. Although Oriel didn't cause him any trouble, he always felt that the way he looked at him was strange.
