Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 210 The Match! Let the Fight Begin!

"Then let's proceed according to the agreed-upon competition plan."

Du Han looked at Du Xia, the guild leader of the Blade's Edge Guild, and said.

Lu Xia nodded; they had decided on the format of the competition quite some time ago.

I didn't expect them to accept the challenge so quickly...

Before the Ocean Incident, the two guilds were actually about the same in terms of popularity. However, ever since Du Han made a public appearance at Ran Xiao's place, Wu Ya Guild's popularity skyrocketed, directly surpassing theirs.

Moreover, Wuya Guild did not recruit any more members afterward, which essentially boosted its reputation even further.

Both sides were well aware that the Blade's Edge Guild's provocative actions were actually an attempt to ride on the other side's popularity.

Since bickering can boost popularity, why not do it?

As for the competition, it was actually a friendly match, but it was given a different name.

一共三种比赛形式，1V1三局、3V3一局、5V5一局。

No restrictions on equipment or items, fight with 100% strength.

There is no limit to the number of times players can participate; the guild with more wins in the end will be considered stronger by the other side.

Of course, if you feel you can't win halfway through, you can just admit defeat. You don't have to kill them; you can just leave them with a sliver of health.

As for large-scale PvP, neither of them has considered it.

There aren't that many people, time, or energy available, and if things escalate too much, it won't end well. No matter who wins in the end, they'll both lose face.

Small-scale individual and team battles are fine, as they only represent individual skill; a title doesn't really matter.

The match was held in an open area cleared between the two guild bases. All the idle guild members from both sides gathered around, and there were even professional streamers acting as cameras.

It can be said that it is quite formal.

"1V1 Match 1! Du Han, Guild Leader of Wuya Guild, versus Du Xia, Guild Leader of Daojian Guild!"

"Contestants from both sides enter!"

The two nodded to each other in greeting.

"Prepare!"

The two donned their armor and drew their weapons at the same time, but when Du Han saw the alloy gear on Gui Xia, he froze for a moment and immediately called for a stop.

"Wait a moment--"

"Don't tell me you're giving up before it even starts. That's not like you, Lao Du."

Lu Xia grinned, her tone incredibly irritating.

Du Han ignored him and instead called out to him for a long time before quietly sneaking up to his head.

"Old Xu, it's up to you now, I can't beat you."

After a long while, he rolled his eyes in exasperation and was pushed by Du Han to the spot where he had just been standing.

"Didn't you say you'd completely crush him? You're doing it so readily..."

"Who knows where he got that alloy armor from..."

After standing still for a while, he quickly put on his fully enchanted alloy armor.

"It hasn't even started yet. He didn't really concede; it was just a last-minute substitution."

After a long while, he twirled the alloy axe in his hand, then gripped the handle with his right hand in an inward-curving position, with the axe blade facing outwards towards Su Xia, and said to him.

"Of course not, let's continue."

Yu Xia raised the danger level of Xu Jiu's fight by another level. He didn't want to fight Xu Jiu in the first place; he wasn't 100% confident...

The referee glanced at the two players and continued counting down.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"start!"

Lu Xia immediately smashed a bottle of Swiftness Potion on herself, and then charged towards Xu Jiu.

An enchanted diamond sword and an alloy sword were carried behind him as he ran, creating the illusion of a trail.

He remained in the same position, holding the axe in reverse with his right hand, but with his left hand he pulled out a crossbow that had been strung at some point.

He shot the arrow at Xia, who was charging straight at him. The arrow had just been launched when...

He then threw the axe in his right hand at Su Xia like a boomerang.

Then, after a while, two of the kid's favorite items appeared in his hand: a flint and steel and TNT.

The constantly flashing TNT flying in the air would startle anyone who saw it.

Lu Xia barely dodged the extremely fast arrow, but she couldn't dodge the TNT with its extremely large kill radius.

Fortunately, it wasn't at the center of the TNT explosion, but rather on the edge, so it didn't take all the damage.

But he was blasted back two squares, and by sheer bad luck, he crashed into the axe that was flying back.

"Old Xu is awesome!"

Du Han's voice brought the others around him back to reality, who were caught off guard by the rapid pace of the battle.

The stands erupted in cheers.

After a long while, he caught the axe that flew back and ran towards Gui Xia.

Taking advantage of the fact that the distance between the two sides was not yet too close, Yu Xia quickly consumed an enchanted gold potion, and her status was quickly restored to full.

Seeing that he had been walking towards him for a long time, Gui Xia smiled and threw a bottle of slowing potion at him.

After a while, he sensed something was wrong. Although he didn't know what Xia had thrown, he figured it couldn't be anything good.

With his left hand gripping the sword, he swung it upwards, carrying the gray-blue water bottle behind him. The bottle crashed to the ground and shattered, leaving behind a trail of particle effects.

However, due to his quick reaction, he did not stand within the effective range of the potion.

However, the action of raising his sword slowed him down a bit compared to his initial speed.

Although Su Xia did not gain any advantage, this small flaw gave him an opportunity to exploit.

Taking advantage of her speed, Su Xia rushed forward and slashed several times with her sword.

But looking at the health bar that had barely decreased over a long time, he felt a bit vulnerable for the first time.

"What kind of enchantment did you get?!"

But before he could finish speaking, Xu Jiu struck his chin with an axe.

Then, with a flying kick, he crashed into the block that had been placed down sometime in the past.

At that moment, he truly felt what kinetic energy meant.

But the long rounds hadn't ended yet, because when he kicked Su Xia out, the fishing hook on the fishing rod had already snagged him.

Now is the time to lift the rod after catching a fish.

With a flick of his hook, Su Xia flew out again. This was the third time today that he had experienced what it felt like for his limbs not to touch the ground.

The player who was streaming was frantically adjusting their camera, trying to capture every single detail—it was amazing.

That block was placed long after Su Xia was blown away by TNT and didn't see this side.

He placed it behind himself and then kept moving in a straight line to draw Xia's attention to himself, thus making her not notice the cube.

I originally intended to use this block to tiptoe, but I never expected it to have such an unexpected effect.

However, he wasn't foolish enough to wait for Lu Xia to get up; of course, he would strike while he was still sick and kill him.

Another TNT was thrown over.

However, this time, Su Xia dodged it with a few rolls.

Before he could even get up completely, he threw an enchanted trident, aiming it at Xu Jiu.

Having dodged the frontal attack for a long time, they couldn't escape the Trident's Loyalty Enchantment.

As Xia's trident flew back, since they were on the same line, he was unsurprisingly knocked off balance by the trident.

It's fortunate that it's not a thunderstorm now, otherwise we would have been struck by lightning again sometime in a while.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Xia smashed a bottle of highly poisonous potion onto Xu Jiu.

The magic attack ignored his defense, and his condition rapidly declined. However, he also ate a golden apple, which neutralized the effects of the poison.

The amount of health lost and the amount of health regained are almost equal, and the health regained is even faster.

Lu Xia wouldn't just stand there waiting for her to fully recover; a slow arrow struck her body.

The speed difference between the two has now reached 35%.

However, the Slow Arrow effect only lasts for a short eleven seconds.

Although Su Xia is fast, she can't break through the defenses of a long time. After all, the enchantments are all protective, and the resistance boost from the Golden Apple enchantment hasn't expired yet.

The worst one is foot protection 3, the others are protection 4.

Moreover, Xu Jiu's movement speed has slowed down, but that doesn't mean his reaction speed has slowed down. He has an alloy sword and a diamond sword in his hands, which can block more than half of Yu Xia's attacks.

Every now and then, he would replace the diamond sword with an axe and give Su Xia a good whack.

The clanging of weapons and armor continued, and the two men's health points dropped at almost the same level.

The details of the fight were so fast that onlookers could barely see them; their eyes couldn't keep up with their ears.

Before the sword even moved much in their eyes, the sound of it being parried was already heard, and it was almost a blur.

As the slow-release potion finished its work, Su Xia took two steps back, not forgetting to plant a berry bush in front of Xu Jiu before leaving.

After realizing he had been slowed down, he stayed in place for a long time. After all, he couldn't compete in speed, so he might as well stand still.

Now that the negative effects have ended, he saw the berry bush, but he wasn't foolish enough to step on it.

I quickly swerved to the side, used the tiptoe block to run even faster, and caught up with Xia.

He kicked the diamond sword that had been thrown into the air, sending it flying into Nongxia's back.

As soon as Xia turned around, she fired two highly poisoned arrows, but unfortunately only one hit its target.

After standing still, they each took another bite of the golden apple, and their condition returned to about the same level.

The fight between the two lasted neither a long nor a short time; the entire battle was quite quick.

But from the beginning until now, neither of them seems to be able to deliver a fatal blow to the other.

If one side goes down, they can quickly recover.

If a war is to be fought, it will be a war of attrition fought on the ground.

However, it's obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that if we're judging by combat skills, Xu Jiu is definitely superior.

Lu Xia is really just a prop enthusiast; her actual skills aren't that strong.

But if you were to take all those strange and unusual things out of his backpack and throw them at him for a long time, it would be hard to say who would end up getting hurt.

However, in this kind of friendly match, there's obviously no need to reveal all your cards.

The two remained deadlocked until Du Han declared the match a draw, at which point they stopped.

After all, it's impossible to truly determine a winner in a short time. If the fight really comes down to one person with only a sliver of health left, it might be dark by then.

"1V1 Match 1!"

"draw!"

"Halftime break, the players are ready to take the field for the next match."

Du Han didn't participate this time either, but instead played with Xu Jiu Qu Qu Xia.

"What kind of person is he, always resorting to underhanded tactics? A master of hidden weapons?"

Instead of responding directly, he pointed behind him.

"What if I really were a master of hidden weapons?"

Lu Xia didn't continue to play either, after all, fighting against a monster with such combat talent as Xu Jiu was a bit too tiring.

As soon as I stepped off the field, I wanted to chat with them about who would be playing in the next match, but I overheard someone talking badly about me.

"Ahem...then you really are a master of hidden weapons."

Du Han paused for a moment before replying, then looked at him with a questioning gaze, asking why he hadn't been reminded earlier.

Lu Xia nodded in satisfaction and sat down next to them to watch the game.

This time, all the participants in the 1v1 matches were other members of the guild, and the fights were quite exciting.

The match between Xu Jiu and He Xia has already been edited and posted on the forum by someone with quick hands.

The last time I saw an action scene like this was...!

It attracted a lot of onlookers as soon as it was posted.

"Holy crap, can anyone tell me if this is even a human possible?"

"The timing of so many details is perfect! Could you please provide a link to the original video?"

"Upstairs, I think you can take a look at the introduction of 'The Blind Man's Legend: Searching for the Eyeball'. It has a live stream link. This seems to be a guild war."

"Oh no, I'm blind, I'll go right now."

...

On Shi Qian's side.

He had reached the vicinity of the sharp mountain peak.

The underground escape was indeed quick; it didn't take much effort to get through.

However, it's unclear what kind of environment this portal is in.

Each dimensional portal is closely related to his current environment.

Furthermore, the environment can reflect aspects of the situation within a dimension.

But this sharp mountain peak...

To be honest, in the original Minecraft, the Sharp Peaks biome is really nothing at all.

Aside from the particularly difficult and continuous mountain ranges, there's not much else to see.

However, this biome is also one of the highest biomes in Minecraft.

It seems the highest point can reach the previous building limit.

That is, Y=256.

The view from the very top must be amazing...

Shi Qian suddenly remembered that he had never been that high before; he had mostly stayed at or below 120 on the Y-axis.

Even when riding the Phantom Wing, I've never been that high.

Now that there are groups of people who can go directly to such heights, and you can even burrow underground to see the scenery, it would be a real shame to miss it.

After all, who knows when I'll be able to come to a place like this again?

The coordinates of the portal given by Zero Nine Sequence are not on the ground.

That depth...

The terrain here is actually mountainous, and there is a high probability that there is a deep, dark area underground.

Perhaps after I emerge from the darkness, climbing back up here will feel different...

However, it will most likely feel like seeing the light of day again...

When Shi Qian was climbing up, he deliberately chose the outermost layer so that he could climb up and see the scenery outside.

Just as the sun was rising, fine rays of light pierced through the clouds and mist.

The clouds gradually receded from beneath our feet, revealing a clear, white landscape outside.

The snow covers the mountain peaks, and beyond a certain line, the exposed rocks of the surrounding peaks vie for the center of attention.

Upon seeing this scene, Shi Qian quickened his pace.

They no longer stop at drilling little by little, but instead choose to attach themselves over long distances, leaping upwards layer by layer.

mountain top.

As Shi Qian emerged from the snow, the first scene that greeted him was one of boundless brilliance.

Looking around, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Truly the summit of a mountain range..."

The last time I truly appreciated the scenery was the last time.

Shi Qian felt that all the emotions in his mind had disappeared at this moment.

All I want to do now is sit here and enjoy the view for the whole day.

The Minecraft shaders in this world completely outclass all the shader packs from my previous world...

It's at a level where it can compete with the real world.
