Chapter 1981 Progress Stalled, Frustrated Fang Yun!
Today is Sunday, March 2012, 4.
The 69th Martial Arts Tournament kicked off yesterday, and after fierce competition in the group stage...
The teams that successfully advanced to the top 16 will compete for the final championship today.
Fang Yun already had a pretty good idea of who would win this year's championship.
Although Bianliang City registered for the Martial God Tournament as usual.
However, his entire Qiancheng family has gone into hiding, and two members of his team, led by Taiyang, are unable to participate in this year's Martial God Tournament due to personal matters.
This forced them to replace some of their team members, but the results after the replacement were not satisfactory.
Despite the absence of two key players.
The Suns still managed to advance to the Round of 16.
However, judging from their somewhat struggling performance in the group stage...
It seems unlikely that Bianliang City will make it to the end of this elimination round.
Suns did consider using those two players' accounts to participate in the competition.
But be aware.
Currently, the slots for the Bianliang City server wars have been basically monopolized by the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion and the Six and a Half Hall.
Monopoly is a monopoly.
These two gangs have far too many skilled fighters.
In the past, Taiyang and his friends had good grades, and when the Qiancheng family didn't participate, they occupied the spots and no one could complain.
But there are clearly two vacant spots now.
In this situation, if the Suns force themselves to play more games and don't give others a chance...
That would be a bit hard to believe.
This is what Fang Yun often says: wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
No one dared to show their teeth in front of the Qiancheng family, and even if Fang Yun used five accounts to compete, no one dared to object.
After all, they are champions from the start, and with that kind of confidence, who would dare to disagree?
But the Suns are much worse in this area.
Fortunately.
Fang Yun has never had any requirements regarding grades.
In his words, "One more championship won't make a difference to our Bianliang City; we just need to do our best."
If someone else said that, they'd probably get roasted.
The one who said this was Fang Yun, the most dominant and most champion-winning god in the history of Fantasy Westward Journey.
Then all we can say is—
Cheng is right!
Apart from Bianliang City.
The situation with the 2008 Lanting Preface was even 'worse'.
In 2008, they remained the same. Unless it was a game involving All-Star spots, they always fielded an all-substitute lineup, emphasizing participation.
And 2008, which was all about participation, lived up to expectations, being eliminated early in the group stage.
As for the Lanting Preface where the pineapple is located?
They, like Bianliang City, successfully advanced to the round of 16.
However, this year's Lanting Preface competition did not include Ao Ye in the lineup.
So how far they end up is up to fate.
simply put.
Perhaps it was shortly after the New Year.
Whether it's Bianliang City 2008 or Lantingxu, these three top teams won the championship, runner-up and third place respectively in the Martial God Altar All-Star Tournament a few months ago.
They all chose to 'give up' without prior agreement.
This truly surprised many people.
But one team was happy.
That's right, it's Baihuacun, who was eliminated in the All-Star Game semifinals a few months ago.
This is the dream team that Westbrook has built with a lot of money and effort.
A few months ago, when the All-Star Game had just started.
They never imagined that they wouldn't even make it into the top three, let alone win the championship!
The champion was Bianliang City, and the runner-up was Lanting Preface.
The third-place match between 2008 and Baihuacun ended with Baihuacun being swept by 2008 in just 15 rounds.
They spent so much money, but in the end they only got fourth place in the All-Star game.
How could the ever-proud Westbrook accept this?
So after the All-Star game.
He immediately began a new round of equipment upgrades, buying any powerful weapons and artifacts he fancied, no matter how expensive they were.
He doesn't believe it anymore.
Everyone here is well-off.
If you, Qiancheng Abai Boluo, can rank among the top three in the entire Fantasy Westward Journey, why can't I, Weishao?
However, the results of his reckless spending are quite pleasing.
Since the All-Star Game ended.
Baihuacun rallied and won the championships in the 67th and 68th seasons with great force.
If we can win the 69th All-Star Championship again.
Although it still cannot prove that they are better than the top three.
But they were able to set a brand new milestone: a three-peat in the regular season of the Martial God Altar!
To know.
Even a strong team like Bianliang City has won three consecutive championships in the more competitive All-Star Game.
However, in the regular season of the Martial God Altar, they have only won two consecutive championships so far.
If Baihua Village can break this record.
Although it had little impact on Bianliang City, it was of great significance to them!
So one can imagine.
Since the start of this year's Martial God Tournament.
It's obvious to everyone that this year's Baihuacun team is determined to win the championship!
"The match won't start for a while yet, so let's farm a couple of weapons to whet our appetites first~"
I sat in front of the computer in the study on the second floor.
Fang Yun was quite relaxed, tinkering with weapons on the Thousand City while driving his alt account towards the spectator area.
It's so comfortable not having to stream or play matches.
If it weren't for his obsessive-compulsive disorder, which made him feel that his current savings wouldn't be enough to satisfy his unlimited extravagance for the next few decades.
He's probably already given up and settled down, finding some secluded corner to hide away and cultivate immortality.
soon.
With five level 160 weapons in place.
Fang Yun didn't waste any time. He controlled Qiancheng to the familiar kidney-selling bridge, clasped his hands together in silent prayer, and then decisively activated the luck enhancement point—
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
"Identification successful!"
Four weapons were appraised in a row.
Looking at the successful identification message that popped up on the screen.
Although he was no longer moved by the scene, Fang Yun still sighed silently in his heart.
But then.
Just when he thought he was about to be completely wiped out again.
But as he tapped the last weapon, the notification he had been waiting for suddenly popped up on the screen—
"Congratulations! This item may become a unique equipment. Unique equipment can only be used by you. Do you want to have it appraised as unique equipment?"
"Oh wow, they've released a dedicated version?"
Seeing this special prompt, Fang Yun raised an eyebrow, then clicked on it without hesitation—
"Identification successful!"
Look at the successful identification message that pops up after clicking.
He ignored it and moved the mouse to check the condition of the special weapon.
【Capture the Dragon】
Forged by an ancient demon god, this divine weapon can withstand the eight heavenly dragons. Shaped like a fishbone, it can extend and retract at will; its blade transforms into countless sword threads, as soft as silkworms spinning silk, as resilient as the warp and weft of heaven and earth.

"???"
As the attributes of this special Dragon Capture weapon came into view.
A bunch of question marks immediately popped into Fang Yun's head.
It once again unleashed damage exceeding the limits of its intended purpose, but only by a tiny margin.
At first glance, the initial damage from 741 is indeed quite shocking.
But still the same sentence.
His Four Laws Azure Cloud weapon had an initial damage of 788 points.
Compared to the other two, this dragon-catching technique is purely a burden.
"Dognet, what exactly do you want?"
His brows furrowed as he looked at the special Dragon Capture weapon, which had exploded but not exploded too much.
Fang Yun is almost driven crazy by Wang Yi.
It's quite obvious at the moment.
The specific 'BUG' still exists and has not been fixed by NetEase.
But even though the bug is still there, he hasn't been able to farm another weapon that surpasses the Four Laws Azure Cloud weapon, or even match it.
This made him wonder if he was just unlucky or if something had been secretly changed.
Keep in mind that this wasn't the first, or even the second, super-damage weapon he had obtained.
During this period, he has been collecting resources to farm powerful artifacts. Just a few days ago, he managed to get a special artifact with 739 initial damage.
I played another round today, and although the damage was two points higher, it was still pretty much useless.
Crafting level 160 weapons is extremely troublesome, not because of a lack of resources, but because there are too few qualified original materials.
The five weapons he just appraised took less than a minute to appraise, but Fang Yun's hands were almost numb from trying to get those five Yuan Body pieces!
So, given the current probability of shipments...
Perhaps one day he will be able to create a divine weapon that surpasses even the Four Laws Azure Cloud.
But even he himself couldn't say for sure which day it would be.
"Never mind, let it be..."
The thought that the special bug is still there, and that I even have a cheat program, is unbearable.
But even after so many days since the new expansion was released, he still hasn't been able to get a better exclusive item.
Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
His motivation for playing games is to constantly upgrade to better and stronger equipment.
Now the progress is stuck, which is really annoying.
Even if he could never get a stronger special item again from now on.
With that 788 damage-inflicted Four-Faced Azure Cloud weapon, he remains the undisputed number one Tang Dynasty warrior.
But people always need to have some aspirations, and his aspiration is to be bigger and stronger, and to create new glories!
I'm too lazy to care about these things anymore.
He threw the other four non-dedicated Dragon Capture swords into the warehouse, then took the indestructible dedicated Dragon Capture sword to the Immortal Talisman Daoist and began drilling holes in it.
This special weapon, though not as good as his Four Laws Azure Cloud weapon, is still a great choice.
However, its overall attributes rank it among the top two of his Tang Dynasty weapons.
The key is.
This Dragon Capture weapon also comes with the ability to never wear out.
This allows it to directly replace the 667 initial damage, non-wearable Bloodthirsty Dragon-Capturing weapon identified during the previous live stream, and its damage can be even higher.
Skilled at drilling holes, drilling runes, and setting gemstones.
After everything was set up, he glanced at the panel, smiled with satisfaction, and then switched to the Martial God Altar viewing window.
For him, identifying weapons was just a routine task.
Today's 69th round knockout stage is the real highlight.
It's often said that those who play the game and those who watch it are never the same group of people, but Fang Yun completely disagrees with this view.
Who says that people who play in competitions don't watch the competitions?
He just really enjoys watching matches, especially those involving some of the more famous teams.
He particularly likes to place bets before the game starts and then judge the outcome based on his experience.
The main reason he came to watch the game today was because of Baihuacun.
Although Baihuacun's performance in the recently concluded All-Star Game was not satisfactory.
But judging from the results...
Baihuacun lost all of its matches to the top three teams: Bianliang City, Lantingxu, and 2008.
Besides these three teams.
Baihua Village is practically invincible when facing other teams!
Every team that encountered Hundred Flowers Village was brutally killed by them.
This is why they barely made it to the semifinals with a score of 1-2.
The reason why many fans of Baihuacun are full of confidence when facing the undefeated Lantingxu team is that
At that time, the Lanting Preface showed absolutely no signs of being a strong team.
Especially when facing the Hundred Flowers Village, which had emerged from hell.
Many people believe they are definitely going to suffer a severe punishment.
But as we all know, that's the final result.
Lantingxu, which was regarded as cannon fodder by everyone, played the trump card of Aoye at the critical moment.
As expected, Master Ao swept through Hundred Flowers Village with lightning speed, leaving everyone in disarray before they could even react!
They then lost to 2008 in the third-place match, causing their popularity to plummet.
But as time goes by.
Especially after the New Year, they won two more championship trophies.
In addition, Westbrook's team has carried out another round of hardware upgrades.
These actions brought their popularity back, and at one point even surpassed last year's.
Fang Yun came to watch their game today because he wanted to see how they fared after their Waterloo performance in the All-Star Game.
Will Baihua Village, which has made a comeback, undergo some changes?
Believe it or not, he actually saw it.
As the time came to 10:00 AM, the knockout stage officially began.
Fang Yun, who was among the first to flood into the live stream, immediately noticed that this Baihuacun team was different.
Their offensive pace is noticeably faster!
Some people might think...
In the current meta of the Martial God Altar, teams that play an offensive lineup are at the biggest disadvantage, as they are easily caught and then relentlessly targeted.
But Baihua Village is different.
Having upgraded their hardware, they are comprehensively superior to other teams in the Martial God Altar.
Especially since they have one of the top commanders in the entire game standing behind them.
Top-tier hardware + top-tier roster + top-tier command.
It's obvious what will eventually happen.
In the first round against the Huludao team, Baihuacun did not have a single player fall, and swept the entire team in just 14 rounds!
"Holy shit, that's awesome!"
"This is Baihua Village? This is Bianliang City!"
"Has Baihua Village taken drugs? How come they've become so powerful?"
"You've always been fierce, okay?"
"Really? Then how do you explain the All-Star semifinals?"
"Even if it's the top four, it's the strongest top four!"
"Alright, alright, so the top four can now be divided into the strongest and the weakest, right?"
"Since the Lunar New Year, Westbrook has been scouring for equipment everywhere, and so far the results are remarkable. This year's Hundred Flowers Village is clearly stronger!"
"It's a pity that both Bianliang City and 2008 are just giving up, otherwise we might have been able to witness a fierce battle..."
With the conclusion of the first match in Baihua Village.
While they easily advanced to the quarterfinals.
Players watching the battle couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
Judging from this match against Huludao...
Baihua Village is completely overwhelming.
This kind of domination has happened before in their previous matches, but it has never been as smooth and thorough as it was today.
This made everyone realize.
Just as Westbrook predicted, this year's Hundred Flowers Village team is not only coming on strong, but also has a very clear objective! (End of Chapter)
