Lord Grim's continuous attacks were almost all close-combat skills from the Fighter class. In the battle with Tyranny, it was under this kind of storm-like whirlwind that Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had been directly blown apart. Now, what would happen to Zhang Jiale's former partner, Sun Zheping of Blood and Blossoms?
In the audience, there weren't many who had such memories of the past, but in the hearts of the two players, this was a confrontation that had lasted from the past to the present. Sun Zheping seemed to have never left, and Ye Xiu seemed to be that Battle God of the past.
"It's not that easy!"
Sun Zheping suddenly roared in the chat. Another Summer of Sleep seized an opening, and the blood in his entire body boiled.
Berserk?
No, that wasn't it. This was an Awakening skill that was stronger than Berserk, a Level 50 Berserker awakening skill: Bloodthirsty Frenzy.
This skill and Berserk couldn't stack; only one could exist. Bloodthirsty Frenzy increased battle strength by 25% compared to Berserk. At the same time, it had Super Armor, and its attacks carried the Bloodthirsty effect. This effect was divided into positive and negative effects. Positive Bloodthirsty drained 10% of the opponent's health to recover. Negative Bloodthirsty sold health, draining one's own health to deal heavy damage to the opponent.
Once this skill was activated, Berserkers rarely continued to passively take hits. Just the Super Armor, which was stronger than Reinforced Iron Bones, allowed him to be immune to the effects of many attacks.
However, the priority of the grab skill was a special existence. Ye Xiu saw that Sun Zheping had directly activated this Awakening skill, and immediately rushed forward to use a Grab Fling. But a Berserker under Bloodthirsty Frenzy was even fiercer than Berserk. The heavy greatsword was as fast as a lightsaber. Before Lord Grim's hand could reach, Another Summer of Sleep's sword had already swung. Ye Xiu immediately knew that in terms of speed, Lord Grim was at a disadvantage no matter what.
Block!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was caught in the middle of the sword. He raised his sword horizontally to block. With a clang, the parry was very solid, but Another Summer of Sleep, who was under the effects of Bloodthirsty Battle, had extraordinary strength. The attack was blocked, but Lord Grim was actually knocked back. His two feet slid back on the ground.
However, this wasn't out of Ye Xiu's expectations. Lord Grim took advantage of the situation and jumped backwards, his sword returning to its scabbard and transforming back into a spear. Just like Aerial Fire, he quickly pulled away from Ye Xiu. However, Another Summer of Sleep's greatsword had already arrived once again.
This guy!!
Sun Zheping's speed was beyond Ye Xiu's imagination.
This attack wasn't a skill. It was just a normal attack. Once the attack was launched, it was a normal attack without any stun. Lord Grim, who was trying to jump back and escape with his Aerial Fire, managed to pull out his gun, but his body was hooked by Another Summer of Sleep's sword.
The bullet went straight for his chest. Blood splattered everywhere, but Another Summer of Sleep's body didn't even tremble. He raised his sword with both hands. The shadow of the Wild Blood Strike spread out in the air, leaving behind a bloody mist as it slashed towards Lord Grim's body.
With just one slash, Lord Grim's health slid down. Even the audience in the stadium felt their hearts ache.
Knights had excellent defense, not only because they wore plate armor, but also because of their Plate Armor Mastery. When they wore plate armor, their health and defense would be further boosted. This was the existence of Armor Mastery. No matter what, an Elementalist wouldn't choose to wear plate armor to increase their survivability. This was because the Intelligence and casting speed that cloth armor gave them was something they absolutely couldn't give up.
Every class gained more combat power from their Armor Mastery. Unspecialized characters didn't have any of this. Lord Grim only relied on the stats of his armor to strengthen himself. The armor's effect on him seemed so shallow. It was far less effective than the abnormal weapon in his hands, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
Wild Blood Strike. One slash sent Lord Grim sprawling to the ground. Ye Xiu used Quick Recover to get Lord Grim out of the way, but Sun Zheping had already controlled Another Summer of Sleep to chase after him. An Earth-Shattering Slash, under the buff from Bloodlust, was like teleportation. His body swayed, and in an instant, he was right above Lord Grim. He brandished his greatsword and slashed down.
Lord Grim dodged again, but Earth-Shattering Slash had AoE damage. Lord Grim wasn't able to completely dodge out of its range. Under the violent shaking, his character couldn't stand still. Another Summer of Sleep, one horizontal and one solid, sent out two consecutive slashes. Cross Slash.
Struck by the sword, struck by the sword, continuously struck by the sword!
Sun Zheping's bold use of Bloodlust had forcefully interrupted Lord Grim's continuous attacks, changing the initiative on the battlefield.
This kind of courage, this kind of boldness, he truly lived up to his former title as the number one Berserker. No, even in this day and age, no one had this kind of confidence, this kind of courage, to use such a forceful method to seize the initiative on the battlefield. This kind of choice, in the eyes of many, might not have been a wise choice. If Lord Grim's grab had been just a little bit faster, perhaps he would have been thrown out before Another Summer of Sleep's attack had exploded...
But Sun Zheping had done it. It wasn't the first time he had done this. In his career, who knew how many times he had turned what others saw as rash, careless, and overly aggressive into opportunities for victory. Of course, it was impossible to rely solely on luck. What was hidden in it was accurate observation and judgment. After that, it was the courage and determination to go all out. This was what many people lacked, but what Sun Zheping possessed.
Even if it was Han Wenqing, who had always been courageous, what people saw was his fierceness. As for Sun Zheping, it was more of a craziness, a craziness that treated everything as nothing!
"It's not that easy!"
In the public chat, the message Sun Zheping had sent before his outburst hadn't been erased yet. Suddenly, a new message popped up. These two, in today's exchange of words, seemed to like returning the same exact words. But to say it was easy, could he really do it?
Lord Grim's body suddenly trembled. This unspecialized character's body instantly turned crimson red. The thick blood seemed like it would burst out of his skin at any moment.
Bloodlust?
No, that was impossible.
Those who already understood the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella knew that it could add skills to each of its forms. However, Bloodlust was an exception, because it was an Awakening skill. A Level 50 Awakening skill, as well as a Level 20 class advancement skill, these two were the most distinct skills of every class. They were blank spaces for weapon skills. No class could use the class advancement or Awakening skills of another class. Unspecialized characters were no exception.
Lord Grim wasn't using Bloodlust, so there was only one possibility for this form: Berserk.
It was very different from Bloodlust, but it could be seen as a low-level version of Bloodlust. In Glory's backstory, Berserkers learned the Awakening skill Bloodlust through their understanding and control of the Berserk state. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Bloodlust was an upgraded version of Berserk.
At this moment, Lord Grim was using Berserk. Did he want to use this low-level version of "Bloodlust" to fight against the real Bloodlust? In fact, because he had added the skill to his weapon, it was only level one. It was a far cry from the maxed out Berserk state that normal Berserkers would have. It was simply throwing an egg at a rock!
That was what everyone was thinking. However, Another Summer of Sleep's next attack struck thin air.
No way, right?
Everyone was surprised.
It was only level one Berserk, so the buff it gave to Lord Grim couldn't be said to be significant. Sun Zheping couldn't respond to this small increase?
Yes, he couldn't respond...
After another slash hit nothing, Sun Zheping couldn't help but bitterly smile.
After so many years, he had been injured, retired, and then returned. His habits hadn't changed, and this guy still recognized this point of his. So in this battle, Sun Zheping found the feeling he had in the past. When he went all out, Ye Xiu's tit-for-tat attacks immediately suppressed Sun Zheping's offense.
The change was in that Berserk.
Although it was only level one, although the increase was very small. But... Sun Zheping just couldn't catch up to this small increase. This had nothing to do with speed, but rhythm. Sun Zheping's rhythm had always been pulled to the max. The changes in tempo, the changes in speed? No, Sun Zheping's concept didn't have these things. His rhythm had always been one step to the point, one step to the extreme. So at this moment, when Ye Xiu's Lord Grim went all out with a level one Berserk, Sun Zheping's attack rhythm seemed to be stuck at a bottleneck. He couldn't push it any further because this was his limit. Sun Zheping had always competed at the limit.
Sun Zheping needed to adjust to a new rhythm, but for him, this was something he wasn't very good at. It was also something he found disgusting to do. Moreover, he knew very well that Ye Xiu wanted to stop him at this moment. The moment he changed his rhythm, Ye Xiu would once again take back the initiative. In a match at their level, such a change in rhythm could very well be the turning point of the battle.
The difficulty and minute details in this was something that even pro players, who didn't fully understand the two of them, wouldn't be able to understand, let alone the normal audience. They would only be as astonished as the normal audience. It was just a level one Berserk, so why couldn't Sun Zheping catch up?
"How disgusting!" His surging offensive had been cut off by Ye Xiu, and Sun Zheping felt as if he had eaten a fly. It hadn't been easy to find the feeling of the past, but why had this terrible experience come back together with it? This opponent was still as annoying as before!
A sense of rhythm … What was that? He probably wouldn't be able to understand it for the rest of his life... Facing this guy, wasn't he actually not as outstanding as Zhang Jiale?
In the end, Another Summer of Sleep still fell.
The lack of rhythm was the fatal flaw of this generation's Great God. In terms of the standard of a pro player, he could probably be described as a complete mess.
As a result, in front of this opponent whom he knew well, his flaws were quickly exposed, and then, he suffered a crushing defeat.
"You played pretty well. You were actually able to execute such an offensive. You gave me a fright." After the match, Ye Xiu actually specially came over to exchange a few pleasantries with him.
"Cut the crap. You still lost." Sun Zheping was impatient.
"How could you beat me by yourself?" Ye Xiu laughed.
