The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior Chapter 200: Arena Battle 1 – Mastering the Undying Holy Fir

This bat Value does not equate to actual battle power; it’s only used to measure your bat performance in the Tower of petition.

Win a battle, and you’ll earn 1 point of bat Value. If you achieve consecutive victories, you’ll receive additional bat Value rewards.

However, if a high bat Value player loses to a low bat Value player, they will directly drop to the opponent’s bat Value.

To prevent score manipulation, the low bat Value player overturning high bat Value will not receive bonus bat Value, but if they lose to a player with a bat Value 10 points higher, no points will be deducted.

This bat Value is recalculated every three months, per a seasonal cycle.

Under this mechanism, those who achieve high bat Value are invariably skilled fighters.

Some low-level Professionals rely on the Tower of petition to soar in life.

The strength of bat awareness is not dictated by the level of a Professional’s Talent.

Some Professionals with average Talent may not necessarily lag behind those with S-Class Talent in bat awareness and skills.

These individuals still have the chance to defeat higher Talent Professionals in the relatively fair environment of the Tower of petition.

This is why the Tower of petition is so highly valued among the Professional munity.

If someone surpasses 150 bat Value in the Tower of petition, they are considered absolute talent in both large and small guilds.

Even the Alliance willingly recruits such Professionals for training.

If someone attains over 200 points of bat Value, they are ranked among the top elites.

In the previous era, Lin Ye’s bat Value once approached 300 points, standing proudly at the apex of the Tower of petition!

Moreover, as a Holy Light Profession, he was among a very few Holy Light Professionals in the athlete munity.

Numerous Holy Light Professionals at the time admired Lin Ye as a role model and advanced into the Tower of petition, but regretfully, few managed to achieve prominence.

[Matched Opponent: ’Zhao Hongwu (bat Value 113 points)’]

[Do you wish to battle? (You may opt out of one battle per day without bat Value penalty; you cannot opt out against low bat Value opponents)]

Seeing the bat Value of the matched opponent, Lin Ye was somewhat surprised.

Players who achieve over 110 points of bat Value are considered skilled arena players.

Yet unexpectedly, he was matched against such a player with himself having a base bat Value of only 100 points.

Typically, the matched opponent’s bat Value fluctuates within 5 points up or down.

Zhao Hongwu, however, surpasses Lin Ye by 13 points in bat Value; the chance of matching together is truly remarkable.

Nonetheless, this suits Lin Ye, as he needs a skilled opponent to practice new Skills.

If the opponent accidentally loses, by the Rule, he will directly drop back to 100 points bat Value.

Falling from a skilled evaluation to a mon level is genuinely harsh.

But such are the Rules, and there’s nothing more to say. Lin Ye wouldn’t opt out; he chose to face the battle directly!

[The battle is about to begin, please prepare!]

Lin Ye saw the battle mencement notification; three seconds countdown later, the scene before him shifted into a sparsely wooded land.

The battle scene is not fixed.

It could be a woodland, a desert, a plain, or even a simple arena.

Sometimes bizarre, with monsters or other nuisance interfering in the bat.

Scenery might sometimes benefit you or present disadvantages...

For example, some long-range Athletes appearing in a small arena under a hundred square meters are surely at a disadvantage.

As for the current sparse woodland, it’s a relatively neutral setting, offering no clear advantages or disadvantages for any Profession.

A battle lasts only 10 minutes.

Within this time, if one side’s Life Value is shattered, they’ll be directly judged defeated.

If no side’s Life Value is shattered as time expires, it will be judged a draw, with no loss of bat Value for either side.

Under such Rules, some high bat Value Athletes might intentionally avoid bat when facing much lower bat Value opponents to prevent losing a large amount of bat Value upon defeat.

Like Lin Ye’s current opponent, if he loses, he’ll drop exactly 13 points in bat Value.

This situation is entirely intolerable.

Many Athletes thus adopt a relatively conservative strategy to protect their bat Value.

If the same Athlete is reported multiple times for passive avoidance, they’ll be banned until the season’s end.

There’s gain and loss; you must determine how to navigate it.

Lin Ye has prepared himself to enter the hide-and-seek idle time.

"Looking for someone, while gathering the Undying Holy Fire."

Lin Ye began to take action.

The Skill, Undying Holy Fire, if not actively guided by Lin Ye, will spontaneously gather fireballs at a rate of one every ten seconds, until five fireballs are formed.

If Lin Ye actively gathers them, it’s possible to increase the gathering efficiency based on Skill familiarity.

Like instant Skills generally, experienced users are quick, while novices are slow.

Lin Ye moved forward, actively guiding the gathering of the Undying Holy Fire as he walked.

A small white flame, the size of a fingernail, emerged around him, rapidly growing.

Very soon, it transformed into a white fireball about the size of clasped fists, swirling around Lin Ye like planets circling a star.

"Not too difficult..."

Lin Ye tried a bit, taking just over a second to gather the Undying Holy Fire actively. With some more practice, achieving the instant release akin to Healing Technique shouldn’t be a problem.

Soon, five white fireballs appeared around Lin Ye, flying up and down.

Just like the afterimage Lin Ye saw in Luo Daohe’s profession trial.

At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly sensed a surge of danger!

He quickly stepped back, narrowly evading a glint of cold light glancing past him.

"Thud!"

A shivering sound emanated as an arrow struck the rock behind Lin Ye, embedding deeply with spiderweb-like cracks spreading from the impact site.

The power of this arrow was truly terrifying!

"Good heavens!"

Lin Ye couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration; Zhao Hongwu didn’t choose to hide but even attempted a sneak attack.

Yet, this was exactly what Lin Ye desired.

The battle began!
