Against Dancing Rain's suppressive fire, Zou Yuan advanced instead of retreating. He controlled Bright Blossoms to press forward, wanting to enter a range where he could attack.
Under normal circumstances, Zou Yuan's actions would definitely deal a lot of damage to Bright Blossoms, and whether or not he could get past Dancing Rain's barrage of attacks would be a problem as well. But right now, the Flash Bullet and Smoke Bullet were both effective. Dancing Rain's offensive hadn't stopped because Su Mucheng was relying on her skillful technique to maintain it. Zou Yuan didn't know how she could accurately pinch his movements when she couldn't see them.
Bright Blossoms charged forward. Sure enough, Dancing Rain's offensive didn't make any adjustments. Su Mucheng had only increased the range of her attacks. She couldn't see anything, so she couldn't accurately grasp Bright Blossoms' movements and make adjustments.
This sort of offense that lacked variation obviously couldn't stump Zou Yuan. He was now a core player who was filled with confidence. Bright Blossoms endured the damage and finally charged into a range where the Spitfire could attack.
Zou Yuan raised his gun, an Ice Bullet already loaded. Just as he was about to fire, he heard three explosions. Three Anti-Tank Missiles flew in front of him, spewing flames.
Zou Yuan was alarmed. The Flash Bullet effect on Dancing Rain hadn't worn off yet. How did Su Mucheng know where he was?
Bright Blossoms could obviously take the damage from the Anti-Tank Missiles, but the problem was that the shockwave from the explosion would cause his character to sway. In this sort of situation, there was no way he could attack. This was also a major characteristic of Gunner classes. Even if it was a normal attack, as long as it hit, it would cause a partial stun. And Launchers were the heavy firepower of the Gunner classes, so this characteristic was the most obvious.
As a result, Zou Yuan had no choice but to have Bright Blossoms dodge to the side. Then, he heard a series of "peng peng peng" sounds. Dancing Rain had shot a Stinger at a low angle, and it had already exploded. Stingers flew everywhere.
Seeing this attack, Zou Yuan immediately understood. Su Mucheng hadn't actually seen Bright Blossoms' movements, but she knew very well what would threaten her at this moment. As a result, she calculated the time and made a precautionary attack. But Zou Yuan really did have such an idea. Immediately, Su Mucheng closed her eyes and blocked it. You want to continue? The effects of the Flash Bullet had worn off long ago. Su Mucheng saw Bright Blossoms close in on her. While attacking, she used Aerial Fire. Her character flew backwards, and in the blink of an eye, the overwhelming firepower pressed down again.
Zou Yuan hated this narrow alley to death. If it wasn't for this terrain, he wouldn't have been so passive. If it wasn't for this terrain, he wouldn't have been sealed off by Su Mucheng with her eyes closed. If it wasn't for this terrain, he wouldn't have been suppressed by Dancing Rain's gunfire again.
In this type of terrain, a Spitfire could also make the opponent feel helpless. Unfortunately, Su Mucheng fully utilized Dancing Rain's range advantage. Against a Spitfire who was also a long-ranged class, she was able to use distance to suppress him.
If he charged forward, Dancing Rain would retreat. If he retreated, Dancing Rain would press forward. The precision of the attack made Zou Yuan a little shocked.
Su Mucheng … she hadn't played in the Pro League for a year. Perhaps she wasn't used to the rhythm of a high-level match, but in this year, her individual skill had actually improved. Bright Blossoms was perfectly locked down in this narrow alley by her use of the terrain. Zou Yuan actually couldn't find any opening to escape.
Was this Su Mucheng?
Zou Yuan, battered and exhausted under the gunfire, was somewhat puzzled.
Personally speaking, he actually didn't know much about Su Mucheng. In Season 7, he had become a pro player, and together with Tang Hao, he had become a rookie in Team Hundred Blossoms. But because his class overlapped with Captain Zhang Jiale, he had very few opportunities that season. He wasn't much different from a spectator. But in Season 8, he suddenly became the main character, a rushed main character. Zou Yuan muddleheaded and absent-minded for an entire season. He couldn't even find his own direction, let alone pay attention to others. In Season 9, he became the true main character. And in this season, their opponents didn't have the name Su Mucheng. Naturally, there was no need to spend time researching.
What kind of player was Su Mucheng?
Zou Yuan's understanding of her came from a few rumors. He knew that even though Su Mucheng was very popular, there were also quite a few people who looked down on her. They thought that she relied on her looks to gain points. They thought that her skill had been overestimated. Some even directly called her a vase. There were even some radical fans of Excellent Era who blamed her for Excellent Era's decline after their three consecutive championships. After all, she had joined Excellent Era in Season 4. From then on, Excellent Era hadn't been able to win the championships.
In public opinion, Su Mucheng was a controversial player, but what about in the pro scene? Zou Yuan knew that besides a few rookies who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, no one had ever held such an opinion.
Then what about Zou Yuan?
Zou Yuan had to admit that he actually had a bit of prejudice against Su Mucheng. And this prejudice didn't come from his subjective opinion, but from an objective perspective.
In the same team, rookies always had a better relationship with each other. And in the year that Zou Yuan debuted, his rookie partner was called Tang Hao.
With Tang Hao's temperament, it wasn't hard to guess what he would think of such a controversial player. And Zou Yuan, who had interacted with Tang Hao the most, was also influenced by Tang Hao's opinion of Su Mucheng. He didn't think much of her.
It was just that at that time, they were still two rookies in the gossip circle. Whether it was him or Tang Hao, they didn't have the qualifications to see Su Mucheng as an opponent.
By the time the two of them had their own identity and status, Su Mucheng had run off to the Challenger League.
Zou Yuan didn't remember much of the gossip between the two rookies, but the ideas he had developed at that time had always remained in his heart. However, in the arena, Zou Yuan didn't have such feelings. He would not underestimate any of his opponents. However, Su Mucheng's ability still shocked him. Obviously, this didn't match up with what he thought of Su Mucheng's ability. And because of his prejudice, it was inevitable that his confidence level of Su Mucheng's ability would be lower.
And now, he was completely suppressed by Su Mucheng. Zou Yuan wasn't as arrogant as Tang Hao, so he quickly recognized the truth.
But what could he do?
It was too late to realize it now. In the end, Zou Yuan couldn't turn the situation around, and he lost.
In the individual round, Happy took the lead with a score of 2: 1. As Happy's home team, it was impossible not to cheer and applaud at this time.
Amidst the applause and cheers, Su Mucheng walked out of the competitor booth and walked down the arena.
She was so calm in the face of victory. Just like when she faced those criticisms, she only smiled and didn't respond.
Because she didn't care at all.
Walking down the arena and back to Happy's area, she saw Ye Xiu standing there, applauding and welcoming her.
"Hehe." Su Mucheng laughed and stretched out her hand to make a victory sign.
"Amazing," Ye Xiu praised. "No openings at all. Your suppression was impeccable. You played very well."
"Right?" Su Mucheng was still smiling as she sat next to Ye Xiu. She would work hard to win, but by this person's side, she felt that her efforts were more meaningful.
"Alright, next up is the group arena. Next up is …" Ye Xiu turned to greet the next group arena. Of course, Su Mucheng couldn't go up again. She rested her chin on her hand and watched from the side. The smile on her face was even brighter than when she won.
Happy was very bright, while Hundred Blossoms was very confused.
The one who had lost two points in the individual competition and won one point had a confused expression on his face. He clearly wasn't in the right state of mind.
"Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng have already competed in the individual competition. No matter what, they can't lose the group arena," Yu Feng said to the two Hundred Blossoms players who would be competing in the group arena with him. The two nodded resolutely and then looked at Happy's side.
On Happy's side, the players who posed the greatest threat were Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng. Although Fang Rui was also an All Star, he was still in the process of changing classes. This wasn't something that could be adjusted so quickly. If he was still a Thief, Hundred Blossoms would also list him as their number one threat. However, as a Qi Master, he was still a bit lacking.
There was a short break between the individual competition and the group arena, but Hundred Blossoms' three players were already walking towards the player booths. On the stadium's big screen, the players who would be competing in the group arena were already displayed.
Team Hundred Blossoms: Zhou Guangyi, Yu Feng, Zhu Xiaoping.
Team Happy: Fang Rui, Mo Fan, Tang Rou.
The first match was Fang Rui versus Zhou Guangyi. Both characters had already logged in and were currently in the pre-match exhibition stage. The players in the player booths could also see the match through their screens. Fang Rui … the number one Thief in Glory had actually become a Qi Master. To be honest, Zhou Guangyi admired his courage.
Zhou Guangyi wasn't unfamiliar with Fang Rui. They had both debuted in Season 5. His opportunity to debut was much better than Fang Rui's. At that time, he was a player on Team Tyranny. At that time, Tyranny had just overthrown the dynasty of Excellent Era and won the Season 4 championship. They were at their peak. Zhou Guangyi's debut in the championship team was bright.
In the next few seasons, Zhou Guangyi's development was quite smooth. Even though he didn't become a top star, he continued to improve and became a very strong player.
Zhou Guangyi was improving, but Tyranny was going downhill. After Season 4, they never made it to the finals again.
Last season, Tyranny made a big adjustment and brought in Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale, two top players. Tyranny's intention was clear. They wanted these old players to shine again at the end of their careers. Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale shone brightly. The players watched with excitement, but at this time, Team Tyranny's players couldn't help but feel sad. There were only a few spots in the lineup. When people came, there would naturally be people who would leave.
Every player longed for the chance to play on stage. Thus, last season, Zhou Guangyi left Team Tyranny, the team he had played for for four years. He had originally thought that he would be able to play on this team until he retired.
