The battle was still ongoing, and after a slow-motion replay, the screen returned to the battle scene. After Pan Lin and Li Yibo finished analyzing that moment, they hurriedly continued to pay attention to the match.
Han Yanrou, who was enduring the damage from the Bouncing Grenade shrapnel, chased after Life Extinguisher's disappearing silhouette. To Tang Rou, the turning point was unknown, but the majority of the audience had already seen it from their omniscient view. When Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher turned the corner, he immediately threw a Magnetic Field Coil on the ground.
The Magnetic Field Coil wasn't a trap, and one had to step on it for it to be effective. This skill was actually more like a Ghostblade's Ghost Boundary, which had an area of effect. However, compared to the light effect of the Ghost Boundary, the power of the Magnetic Field Coil was more concealed.
Tang Rou, who had no idea what was going on, was only focused on controlling Han Yanrou to give chase, causing Pan Lin and Li Yibo to discuss among themselves.
"Tang Rou seems to be a bit careless. Isn't this chasing method playing right into Xiao Shiqin's hands?" Pan Lin said.
"Hmm, any experienced player would most likely not fight with a Mechanic in such a complicated terrain. The strange mechanical props of a Mechanic will have a very strong concealment ability in such a terrain. Xiao Shiqin has very successfully led Tang Rou into a suitable environment for him to display his abilities, "Li Yibo said.
"Right now, Tang Rou's Han Yanrou has already turned the corner." Pan Lin watched the development of the match and spoke faster. "Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher is actually hiding behind the corner. He'll definitely attack when Han Yanrou steps into the magnetic field. However, right now, he can't possibly grasp Han Yanrou's movements. How will Xiao Shiqin determine the timing of his attack? "
"He's in!" Pan Lin shouted. At this time, in the real-time display of the broadcast, a number immediately jumped up, which was Han Yanrou's current weight.
"Ah! Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher was about to attack at the same time. How did he do it? "Pan Lin shouted.
"Let's start with the sound of the footsteps … …" This time, the problem didn't stump Li Yibo. Many pro players had the ability to estimate the distance by listening to footsteps.
"Rocket Punch! A Rocket Punch flew out. Tang Rou's Han Yanrou's movements were slow due to the added weight, so it was difficult for her to dodge. "
"Ah! Is she going to … "
"Dragon Breaks the Ranks!"
"Tang Rou resolutely used Dragon Breaks the Ranks when Han Yanrou stepped into the magnetic field. She had no intention of dodging Life Extinguisher's Rocket Punch!"
Han Yanrou raised her spear and used Dragon Breaks the Ranks to attack Life Extinguisher. Due to the magnetic field, Dragon Breaks the Ranks wouldn't be as fast as before. However, the distance between the two sides was very close. How many steps could a single turn take? Even though Dragon Breaks the Ranks was slow, it still arrived in front of Life Extinguisher in the blink of an eye. The Rocket Punch hit Han Yanrou, but Dragon Breaks the Ranks had higher priority than some grab skills. The Rocket Punch couldn't stop its momentum at all.
Xiao Shiqin couldn't continue attacking. He immediately controlled Life Extinguisher to dodge to the side, dodging the Dragon Breaks the Ranks.
As for Han Yanrou, she used the momentum of this charge to forcefully roll over the magnetic field. Without another word, she shook her battle spear and used Dragon's Teeth on Life Extinguisher.
Life Extinguisher rolled on the ground to avoid it. When he got up again, he activated his Rotor Wings and flew over the wall beside him. When he landed, he even twisted his body and shook his hand, throwing a Frag Grenade over. Who would have thought that the instant he turned his head, Xiao Shiqin would catch a glimpse of Han Yanrou bending her right elbow and dragging her spear behind her. Magical fluctuations instantly circulated around the entire spear and quickly surged towards the tip of the spear.
The grenade fell and the spear pierced out. The magical fluctuations transformed into a tumbling dragon. There was only a wall in front of it, so it broke through it and rushed out!
With a loud boom, Rising Dragon Soars the Sky, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, broke through the wall. The skill ended there, but Han Yanrou had already rushed out of the hole in the wall. The spear in her hand was still pointed at Life Extinguisher.
Wasting a high-level skill just to break through this wall? And before, she would rather use Dragon Breaks the Ranks to roll over the magnetic field than take a step back?
Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher had activated a thruster to speed up his escape. The situation was a little beyond his expectations. Tang Rou's super forceful response had completely disrupted the rhythm he had created.
As for Pan Lin and Li Yibo, they couldn't say a word about Tang Rou's response for a long time. Until the two sides once again entered a state where there wasn't much to see, the two realized that they had to say something.
"This Tang Rou... uh..." Pan Lin was searching for the right words.
"A little reckless," Li Yibo said decisively. "But she succeeded."
"Xiao Shiqin needs to readjust his rhythm. I believe that the scene just now will make him reevaluate the opponent in front of him. Tang Rou's response, how should I put it... it's not a matter of skill. Xiao Shiqin needs to understand his opponent better, "Pan Lin said.
"Yeah." Li Yibo nodded. "To make such a response in such a situation requires extraordinary courage. Xiao Shiqin clearly wasn't prepared for this. But the match has just begun. Let's see what happens next! "
"Life Extinguisher's thruster skill has ended. But using the speed advantage of the skill, Life Extinguisher is now at an absolutely safe distance. Han Yanrou hasn't had a chance to land a Chaser, so she doesn't have any Chasers on her. I believe that Xiao Shiqin won't give her that chance either, "Pan Lin said.
"Yeah, after seeing the drive Tang Rou displayed just now, I think that Xiao Shiqin will avoid a direct confrontation with Tang Rou and continue to play strategically," Li Yibo said.
"Yes, he's starting to move strategically again. Let's see what Xiao Shiqin will do this time?" Pan Lin said.
Outside the arena, Happy was in the preparation area. Chen Guo had almost thought that Tang Rou was going to win the match. With such a fierce pursuit, if it had been the opponent from the previous match, Han Yanrou would have already caught up and stabbed through. But in this match, Tang Rou's opponent was worthy of being called one of the top pro players in the Alliance. After being disrupted by Tang Rou, he didn't panic at all. He decisively avoided the limelight and easily returned the match to its original state. He was still running, and Tang Rou was still chasing. But in between this chase and running, the initiative had already changed twice. At the beginning, Xiao Shiqin had taken the initiative, then Tang Rou had forcefully disrupted the rhythm and seized the initiative. And now, without anyone noticing, the initiative was once again in Xiao Shiqin's hands.
The two characters ran around the town's pier. Along the way, Xiao Shiqin used all sorts of mechanical tools to attack, making it impossible for Tang Rou to defend against them. In comparison, Tang Rou didn't have many methods. She didn't have any more opportunities to get close to her opponent like before. The advantage and disadvantage of the situation were clear at a glance. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Tang Rou was being played in the palm of her opponent's hand.
"What … what should we do?" Chen Guo watched from the sidelines anxiously, but after putting herself in her opponent's shoes, she felt that there was nothing she could do. Xiao Shiqin's playstyle seemed to be invincible. She couldn't think of a way to resolve the current situation.
Happy and the others beside her also had extremely heavy expressions. They could clearly see that the situation wasn't looking good. But Tang Rou had always been someone who liked to create miracles. Accomplishing what seemed impossible was her greatest interest. Thus, everyone had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that she could create another surprise for everyone.
But she didn't …
The rhythm of the match didn't change. Just like that, little by little, Han Yanrou's health ran out and she fell.
Chen Guo couldn't believe her eyes.
It wasn't that she didn't expect Tang Rou to lose. She just didn't expect Tang Rou to play in such a manner. If there was a word to describe this match, it was probably the most suitable word to describe it. The little bit of explosive surprise at the beginning wasn't enough to change the final tone of the match.
Chen Guo watched as Tang Rou walked out of the competitor booth, down the stage, and towards Happy's preparation area. Boos followed her all the way. Many of the Excellent Era fans in the stadium didn't show any mercy just because she was a girl or a beautiful woman. During the days when Happy was on the scene, Han Yanrou was Happy's main force in slapping the faces of the challengers. For these people, Tang Rou's aggro value was second only to Ye Xiu's. When they saw Tang Rou's pathetic defeat, the stadium was filled with all sorts of cheerful atmosphere. The Excellent Era fans were full of gloating.
"This is just the beginning!"
"Who's next?"
"Now do you know what a gap is?"
The Excellent Era fans arrogantly yelled, especially those near Happy's preparation area. They did their best to make noise and booed Happy's team. Excellent Era's victory in the first round had completely ignited these fans who had been suppressed for a long time. They had always been waiting to see Happy make a fool of himself, but in the end, they were slapped in the face again and again. And now, their team had personally taken action and taught Happy a lesson. How could they not be excited?
An Wenyi and Luo Ji looked around in astonishment. They clearly weren't prepared for this kind of scene. Let alone the two of them, even Wei Chen's expression changed. When he had participated in the Pro League in the past, there hadn't been such a scene. The Challenger League didn't have a home or away game, but Excellent Era used their influence as a powerhouse to turn Liulisong Stadium into their home stadium.
"It's so noisy. Why does it feel like we're in the center of Excellent Era's Guild Hall?" In the audience, one person didn't seem to care about the noise from the Excellent Era fans and complained as he adjusted the brim of his hat. The Excellent Era Guild Hall he was talking about was the stadium Team Excellent Era used for their home matches. This person didn't seem to be unfamiliar with this sort of booing.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Happy really did lose this round!" Another person said. In the end, he tilted his head to the side. "Little Gao, what do you think?"
"Ah... probably..." The person called Little Gao had his hat pulled down like his comrade. He was currently looking at Happy's preparation area from afar. He was looking at that very familiar figure.
Good luck! Yifan.
