Chapter 53: Battle Mage

  "Right, right, which one is that? What's the occupation of that Dou Shen?" Tang Rou couldn't even remember the title "Dou Shen One Leaf Autumn", but because Chen Guo mentioned it often, she at least had some impression of its existence. Besides this, another character with a stronger presence was the Gunner "Mu Yu Cheng Feng". This was also the direct reason why Chen Guo played Gunner, her first idol and the role that was always on her lips.

  Tang Rou said as she looked towards Chen Guo, but immediately saw the disappointment on her face.

  "What's wrong?" Tang Rou was startled, having known Chen Guo for two years, she had often seen him angry, but this was the first time he looked so hurt.

  "Ye Qiu... has retired." Chen Guo said.

  "Is it Ye Qiu? The master of One Autumn Leaf?" Tang Rou asked.

  "Uh-huh."

  "What about that autumn leaf?"

  "A single leaf's autumn is still there, but..."

  Chen Guo also described the relationship unclear. In the cold professional alliance, roles and players were divided into two parts. For players who like Glory, some people admire the powerful characters of professional level, while others admire the high-tech skills of professional players. So, titles like Dou Shen, at first, some people thought it was for Yi Ye Qiu, while others thought it should belong to the manipulator behind Yi Ye Qiu, Ye Xiu, which led to controversy. But gradually, similar controversies have attributed the title to the role.

  The role is as solid as an iron camp, but the players are like flowing water soldiers.

  Players will have ups and downs, players will have a decline in state to the point of being eliminated, players will eventually retire, but characters will not. As long as the club is willing, the character can be firmly grasped in one's own hands and continuously improved, the longer the time, the more skill points there may be, the stronger the equipment may be. Currently, many top roles in Honor of Kings have been established since the first season, with a lifespan of nearly ten years.

  Their manipulators have changed countless times; but their prestige has never fallen since they first sounded.

  Flowers have a day to bloom again, but people can never be young again.

  A powerful role, as long as there is a strong player in control, can show its power; and the player? In front of natural law, no one can defeat time, this ruthless killer.

  Ye Qiu and One Autumn Leaf are a rare exception. The player and the controller have been paired for ten years, which is unprecedented in the alliance. When other players experience changes in controllers, one by one disappearing from the scene, leaving their titles to the characters. Dou Shen, however, has always been shared by Ye Qiu and One Autumn Leaf. From the day this title was called out, Dou Shen has always belonged to the two of them.

  Unfortunately, Ye Qiu's autumn is ultimately just a role, and Ye Qiu is still a player. Players are destined to take the first step, and let the role inherit the title forever.

  When other roles have had several handovers, Dou Shen, this is only the first time. So there will be a lot of players who will shed bitter tears, and Chen Guo will mention Dou Shen's Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and start to feel melancholy. For her, the moment Ye Qiu left, the title of Dou Shen became incomplete. Something that had been imbued with a lot of emotions was suddenly torn apart.

  Tang Rou couldn't understand Chen Guo's sorrow, so she just sat quietly beside her, holding her hand without saying a word.

  But Chen Guo was still Chen Guo, and she had already been deeply saddened yesterday. Repeatedly being sad here wasn't her style. After a brief moment of gloominess, her spirit soared again, and she looked at Tang Rou saying: "The profession of the God of Fighting is Battle Mage, how about it? Want to play?"

  "Alright! Who knows, maybe someday I'll become the master of that One Leaf Autumn, and by then I might even be a new Dou Shen!" Tang Rou said.

  "Ah! This goal is a thousand times more noble than defeating Yeh Suo! Little Tang, you must work hard towards this goal!" Chen Guo said with a smile.

  "Alright!" Tang Rou also nodded with a smile.

  "Then I'll tell you about the Battle Mage profession now?" Chen Guo said.

  "Hmm." Tang Rou nodded.

  "The Battle Mage belongs to the Mage class, which strengthens itself with magic to engage in close combat. There are two types of weapon mastery: staff and spear. The staff has a general attack speed of 8, with fast combos. The spear has a general attack speed of 2, slower but with higher damage and range. I personally prefer the spear, it's more domineering, how can you be called a Fighting God if you're not domineering? Look at Yeyueqiushi, he also uses a spear, one time..."

  "Guǒ guǒ......" Táng Róu reminded Chén Guǒ that he had gone off topic.

  "Ah..." Chen Guo coughed and continued, "The main characteristic of a Battle Mage is the ability to enhance their own attributes with magical tattoos and the acquisition of Fighter's Will upon awakening. Especially Fighter's Will, this is a passive skill that allows the player to improve their character's abilities based on their own technical skills. If you see a Battle Mage getting stronger as they fight, don't be surprised. Ye Qiu was hailed as the God of Fighting because his operation could..."

  "Good grief!" Tang Rou had already reached her wit's end.

  "Okay okay, let's watch the video and I'll tell you about it as we go," said Chen Guo.

  "Mmm." Tang Rou nodded. Chen Guo didn't even need to search online, did she have few videos of the Battle God? She had collected so many, and as soon as she pointed one out, she enthusiastically told Tang Rou about it, starting to only exclaim in surprise as she spoke.

  "Oh no, look at you, this time..."

  "Rooooaaaar! 88 consecutive back-to-back combos, do you know how much this can boost your fighting spirit and willpower?"

  "Haha, this idiot, he ran into it himself."

  "Guo Guo......" Tang Rou sighed for the third time.

  "Don't you think I should start with something more basic? You're having me learn from the most advanced master of combat magic right off the bat?" Tang Rou said weakly.

  "Oh, really? Let me think for a moment!"

  The two girls were so absorbed in their study of the combat mage that they didn't even notice when a young administrator came over to invite them to eat, and was brusquely shooed away by Chen Guo.

  Just then a voice that had been stimulating Chen Guo's spirit for the past two days came from behind: "Huh, learning combat magic?"

  Ye Xiu!

  "What's it to you?" Chen Guo immediately turned back and said.

  "Does Xiao Tang want to play Battle Mages?" Ye Xiu asked.

  "Hmm." Tang Rou nodded.

  "This I can teach you!" Ye Xiu said.

  "Hmph, no need," Chen Guo said with disdain.

  "Boss, do you know what you just rejected?" Ye Xiu said seriously.

  "Cut." Chen Guo was too lazy to bother with her, and turned back to Tang Rou: "These are all Ye Qiu's strategies for fighting mages, look, I've arranged them all for you from shallow to deep, from attributes to skills to equipment, practical techniques, experience, tactics, practice methods, and these accompanying videos, wonderful collections."

  "Mmm." Tang Rou nodded repeatedly.

  "Seriously, why don't you want a mentor and insist on self-study?" Ye Xiu muttered.

  "You go on your own, is your guidance worth one ten-thousandth of these strategies?" Chen Guo said.

  "Alas... don't regret it later!" Ye Xiu sighed.

  "Shut up." Chen Guo didn't even turn her head. Tang Rou, on the other hand, turned around and smiled at Ye Xiu: "If I have any questions, I'll ask you for guidance."

  "Haha, you'll have it soon. The strategy you're reading now is from nine years ago. In the past nine years, there have been system adjustments and advancements in player techniques. Although this strategy can still be read, there are four places that need to be noted. What's mentioned there doesn't suit today's battle mages at all," Ye Xiu said.

  The third update is finally done, I'm here, sorry for being late, it's already past midnight.

  Also, a commercial: "Reborn in the Spirit World", book number 1877957, a new book by Bèn Tàizǐ. Fans of online gaming shouldn't be unfamiliar with this author, right?
