Chapter 1516: Chapter 1516: Breakthrough

The African commentator elaborated, "Don’t you find it odd that the Dragon Beast’s head was broken in such a short time? In previous instances, successful head breaks from a distance were usually due to powerful special moves, and as for melee combat, as you’ve seen, how could the head be broken in such a brief moment? Even if Prairie Fire has high attack power, how much higher can it be?"

"I think I grasp what you mean now," the Chinese commentator realized as the other commentators subtly nodded in agreement.

The African commentator continued with a smile, "So, my point is, it’s not that Prairie Fire couldn’t calculate the distance to crush the scales of the Dragon Beast; his movement skills certainly aren’t limited to mere ten-yard dashes—that’s far from the limit. Considering all viewpoints, I believe Prairie Fire used the formidable collision force to achieve the head-breaking effect."

The European commentator frowned, "Your point makes sense, but if that’s the case, Prairie Fire’s calculation ability is even more impressive. Think about it—if the colliding force were too weak, it wouldn’t have had any effect on breaking the head. If it were too strong, Prairie Fire wouldn’t be able to withstand it. If he couldn’t bear it, his rhythm would be disrupted, and we wouldn’t be seeing such a fluid battle as we are now. It looks so smooth and carefree."

Hearing the commentators’ discussion, the audience was at a loss for words, eyes glued to the screen.

The head of the Dragon Beast was shattered, and its attacks couldn’t even reach Li Yao.

With a roar, the beast ascended to the skies, but just then, Li Yao produced a golden sphere in his hand and quickly attached it to a small crossbow on his arm.

He then flipped his wrist and launched it into the sky. This arm-mounted crossbow was a piece of engineering support equipment that could be installed after reaching level fifty.

It could release various assistive tools and small crossbow arrows, such as Paralysis arrows, Poison arrows, buffing Healing arrows, and other assistive items.

Of course, even those who hadn’t studied engineering could still use these assistive items, but their accuracy and range were slightly less than that of the arm-mounted crossbow, thus it is one of the perks of studying engineering.

Pop...

The Flash Bomb detonated precisely in front of the Dragon Beast, accompanied by a dazzling light, the Dragon Beast screamed as it crashed down heavily.

Similarly, after level fifty, various dungeons and wilderness areas had established specific rules, further refining the benefits of secondary professions.

For example, with Enchantment, you could enchant two rings to boost attributes, and there are powerful exclusive Enchantments that one can use only after learning Enchantment, gaining even more attribute bonuses. There are also corresponding Enchantment tools and toys.

For instance, in gem processing, one can acquire specific rune script formulas that only those who have learned gem processing can use, and it allows you to add sockets to equipment without them, fitting more powerful gemstones exclusive to those who have mastered jewelry crafting.

Then, in terms of equipment crafting, one can craft specific sets and use armor plates that are only available to those who have learned equipment crafting, which add extra attributes as well.

This is the increasingly refined professional benefits, and engineering gets just this wrist crossbow and various assistive tools. You can carry a specific number of assistive tools in challenges and different dungeons.

For instance, in a challenge dungeon like this, Li Yao, who has studied engineering, can carry three Flash Bombs, while those who haven’t can carry one.

Although the effect might be somewhat reduced, they’re still usable.

This is why the gains from studying engineering are considered lower compared to other professions. Players have analyzed the benefits of each profession, and overall, engineering is ranked last in terms of benefits.

Of course, some argue that for experts, the auxiliary tools provided by engineering might have less attribute enhancements but are quite effective in use. However, not many agree with this point of view.

On one hand, it’s truly less substantial than simply increasing attributes, and on the other hand, learning engineering is too expensive, and not many can afford it.

The most important thing is that the vast majority of those who study engineering are specialized in warfare engineering and are guild-supported living profession players who do not participate in combat.

Consequently, they can only make more use of tools, which makes the perceived benefits seem less significant to most observers.

However, this battle will change their perceptions.

After releasing the Flash Bomb, flames spewed out from the propeller behind Li Yao, propelling him over fifty meters to the side in a swift strafing motion—a supplementary function of the propeller.

Activating the propeller during a strafe significantly enhances the strafing distance.

After strafing, Li Yao began to charge up his power, while the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast from the sky crashed down and, after sliding a short distance, ended up right in front of Li Yao.

Li Yao’s charge had also reached level four, and he immediately launched his attack.

The gigantic sickle struck the wing scales with a crunch, prompting gasps from countless spectators; it was as if the wings of the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast had voluntarily slammed into the sickle.

Gale!

Li Yao unleashed a frenzied assault, with radiant swaths of blade light slicing at the wings of the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast.

The wing shell of the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast, which had just struggled to its feet, burst apart with a loud crack, sending it stumbling back to the ground. It solidly endured the relentless strikes from Li Yao’s Gale attack.

Li Yao rarely used this skill, but without the ability to use continuous teleportation, and the Ruthless Blade skill unavailable, the Gale skill, which involved stationary output, demonstrated its powerful advantage.

Without the System’s notification, all the spectators already knew that in less than thirty seconds, Li Yao had continuously broken the head and wings of the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast.

If Li Yao could also break its back and tail, he would receive another S rating.

The smoothness with which he broke through was simply unbelievable to them.

Many spectators watching the main screen had seen plenty of exciting fights, but even the super high-level players who fought quickly didn’t break parts as cleanly and neatly as Li Yao.

Other high-level players weren’t without those who used aids like Flash Bombs, but they were far inferior to Li Yao.

For safety, they needed to wait for the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast to fall before running over.

Ensuring a safe distance to avoid being crushed by the Explosive Scale Dragon Beast takes time, running over takes time, and charging up also takes time. By then, the effect of the Flash Bomb would have already worn off. In reality, it could only disrupt the Dragon Beast’s chaotic attack pattern once, and since they don’t study engineering, they can only use it once, so it seems less effective.

But look at Li Yao, who released the Flash Bomb and immediately used a teleport skill, then started charging up. Once the Dragon Beast fell, his charge was complete, and he attacked straight away. During the time the Dragon Beast struggled to stand, it was also subjected to a stationary output skill.

Stationary output skills have an obvious drawback; in mobile combat, they are practically suicidal. Forced stationarity often means missing your target and getting countered by the opponent, which is why high-level players dislike these skills.

But conversely, while the drawbacks of stationary output skills are obvious, their advantages are also significant...
