The tip of the sword fell, but … it hit nothing!
Following that, Flying Sword's figure flew out.
Tyrant's Destruction!
Liu Xiaobie's Triangle Triple Slash was already extremely fast, but what about Tang Rou? She didn't fall behind at all. She switched Dragon's Teeth to Tyrant's Destruction and followed up with Flying Sword's Triple Slash. Before the sword fell, the spear swept out and struck Flying Sword's body, sending him flying to the side.
What a guy!
Liu Xiaobie was quite surprised. Happy had left a deep impression on Tang Rou's hand speed during the Challenger League against Excellent Era. Xu Bin had once asked him how they compared to him, but Liu Xiaobie didn't answer.
But now, Tang Rou had changed her move after his Triangular Triple Strike. She had moved later but arrived first, hitting him first...
Although he needed more control to complete the Triangle Triple Slash, there was another issue that couldn't be ignored. Han Yanrou's spear had a difference in attack speed between Liu Xiaobie's lightsaber and Han Yanrou's spear.
Under normal circumstances, a spear's attack speed was at the lower end of the spectrum, at 2. A Blade Master's lightsaber, on the other hand, was at the peak of attack speed, at 10.
In Glory, the attack speed of a weapon was divided into ten levels, from 1 to 10. However, the difference between 1 and 10 wasn't as exaggerated as ten times. In reality, the difference between an attack speed of 1 and an attack speed of 10 was about 20%.
And Glory was a game with a lot of practicality. What really determined the speed of an attack was the player's hand speed. However, there was a forced difference between a weapon with an attack speed of 1 and a weapon with an attack speed of 10. This meant that if a player with an attack speed of 1 wanted to reach the speed of a weapon with an attack speed of 10, they would have to increase their hand speed by 20%.
From this, it could be seen that a weapon with a higher attack speed wasn't a bad thing. However, in game settings, the lower the attack speed of a weapon, the more powerful its physical attack. So, how to find a balance between these two was something that every player had to consider. The Swordsman class mostly used lightsabers and katanas, but at the same time, there was no lack of heavy swords and grand swords.
Weapons used by Han Yanrou and Flying Sword:
Han Yanrou's spear, Dancing Fire Flowing Flame, had an Attack Speed of 4. Among spears, it was considered one of the fastest weapons. In addition to the Attack Speed + 1, her final Attack Speed had reached 5.
Flying Sword: Lightsaber Soul Chasing Sword. Attack Speed + 10. It also had an additional attribute that increased attack speed by + 2.
In the end, Soul Chaser's Attack Speed of 12 was 7 points faster than Dancing Fire Flowing Flame's Attack Speed of 5.
Under this kind of disparity, if Han Yanrou's spear was as fast as the flying swords, Tang Rou's hand speed would definitely be above Liu Xiaobie's. However, during a battle, it was impossible for both parties to swing their weapons at the same time to see who would reach the finish line first. In the end, it was impossible to make such a simple comparison between the various skill controls, the various skill variations, and the skill's attack speed bonus. Most of the contestants used their intuition to make decisions.
Liu Xiaobie's intuition surprised him. In fact, he was already mentally prepared to face Tang Rou in this match. Because of the 1v3 agreement, Tang Rou had been the first to fight in the group arena for several consecutive rounds. This arrangement of not making any changes made it easier for the opponent to prepare for battle. For example, Liu Xiaobie had basically confirmed that he would definitely face Tang Rou in his first match. Therefore, his main target for the 1v1 was naturally her.
She was indeed very fast. She had completely caught up to me.
However, if you think that this is my peak hand speed, then you are gravely mistaken!
Flying Sword, who had been knocked aside by Tyrant's Destruction, was still attacking. A sword light flashed, and Flying Sword was knocked aside. However, a sword mark was left on Han Yanrou's body.
What a fast sword. When Tang Rou saw it, she wanted to dodge, but her hand speed couldn't keep up.
What a guy!
Tang Rou couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Flying Sword had been knocked aside by Tyrant's Destruction in such a short instant, yet this guy was still able to land an attack.
However … wasn't this attack done in a fit of anger? Right now, the initiative was still in her hands!
Dancing Fire Flowing Flame danced in the air, leaving afterimages one after another in its wake.
Dragon's Teeth, Double Stab, and then a normal attack. At this moment, Han Yanrou focused on stabbing, launching a fierce attack on Flying Sword.
Clang clang clang!
Clang clang clang clang!
The weapons of the two sides clashed nonstop. The two fought speed with speed. Sword light, spear shadows, collided, separated, and blood splattered everywhere.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The match was being broadcasted, but the commentator and guest remained silent.
What else could they say?
With such a fast pace, by the time the commentator finished commenting, the winner might have already been decided. There was no way to say anything.
This was one of the difficulties of commentating in a Glory match. When the two sides fought, there would be many changes in the details, but the pace was also fast. There was no time for the commentator to carefully analyze any part of the battle. And right now, Tang Rou and Liu Xiaobie's battle was so fast that even the commentator's incessant "announcing skill names" didn't have time.
By the time he called out a skill name, the two sides had already used three skills.
"Too fast …" In the end, Pan Lin squeezed out three words. If he didn't say anything, it would be too awkward.
"They're almost over." Li Yibo was experienced and had experience as a pro. He didn't have time to talk about the details, so he talked about the big picture. He didn't look at the details of the battle, but instead looked at the two characters' skill trees.
The skill trees seemed to be filled with clocks. As the cooldown clock ticked, more and more skill icons appeared.
Rhythm?
There was already no rhythm. These two people, you were faster than me, I was faster than you. You chase me, I catch up. It had become a pure contest of speed. The speed at which skills were being used was astonishing. If they continued to race like this, it wouldn't be long before the two ran out of skills, right? Or rather, only low-level skills could be used …
Li Yibo didn't see wrong.
Fight fight fight!
Hack hack hack!
Liu Xiaobie operated like crazy, but he still couldn't completely suppress his opponent. At this moment, after he operated, he didn't make the expected attack. Flying Swords' offense suddenly froze.
How?
Liu Xiaobie was only surprised for a tenth of a second before he immediately realized what was going on.
The skill was on cooldown, so it couldn't be used.
But the skill was still on cooldown?
Crap!
Liu Xiaobie immediately realized that he had lost control of his hand speed. Only by blindly chasing after speed without any planning could this kind of awkwardness of not being able to chain skills due to cooldowns. Because he used too much hand speed to create an imbalance in the rhythm, this was a mistake he used to make often. It was also because of this that people thought he was a player who only knew how to squander his talent.
Fortunately, he realized it and corrected it. He began to learn how to effectively use his hand speed. When he needed to be fast, he would be fast to his heart's content. When he needed to be slow, he would do his best to suppress it. The balance of the rhythm would no longer be disrupted by his subjective thoughts.
After the change, Liu Xiaobie immediately improved greatly. Last season, he had almost become one of the 24 All-Stars. This season, he hoped that he could make such a breakthrough. But in this match, he actually relapsed, and his hand speed exploded to such an extent regardless of the consequences?
This really was an opponent who made it impossible for him to remain calm!
But fortunately, this opponent was also chasing this kind of rhythm. Just like him, he also squandered his skills because of his excessive hand speed. So this was originally a big mistake and a big opening, but in this match, it couldn't be said, because the two of them made the same mistake.
"Haha, seriously …" Liu Xiaobie was still thinking of what to say in the chat, when Dancing Fire Flowing Flame flashed over.
A normal attack?
Liu Xiaobie casually swung his sword, and Flying Swords swung his sword to parry the attack. Han Yanrou didn't stop because of this. She attacked again, this time with a Dragon's Teeth. At this time, most of the middle and high-level skills had been sealed due to cooldowns. Both sides were mainly using normal attacks and low-level skills with short cooldowns below Level 20.
At this time, she still wanted to continue attacking. How stubborn! Liu Xiaobie sighed as he continued to parry Han Yanrou's continuous attacks. But gradually, he realized that the situation wasn't quite right.
Normal attacks had no cooldowns. They could be used at any time and could be changed at any time.
Low-level skills had short cooldowns. After a skill was used, it could be used again very quickly after a few rounds.
Han Yanrou's offensive was supported by these. Just like before, it was concentrated and swift.
And so, Liu Xiaobie suddenly realized that when he discovered the problem of excessive hand speed and was preparing to control the rhythm, Tang Rou continued to stubbornly make this mistake.
She continued to use the same hand speed as before. Or it could be said that she was still burning, still thinking of ways to play faster.
This …
Liu Xiaobie didn't know how to evaluate this. He only knew that at this time, he seemed to be unable to hold on.
What was this woman thinking?
Liu Xiaobie was surprised, but he seemed to have discovered something.
In this, there was a shadow of himself in the past. It was just that when he blindly released his hand speed to increase the rhythm, when he didn't reach his expectations, he made adjustments and changes. So, he improved a lot. Tang Rou, on the other hand, was like a him who didn't discover where the problem was. She was still crazily charging forward on this path.
If this continued, what would happen?
Liu Xiaobie realized that he hadn't thought about this problem. After he didn't get what he wanted from this fighting style, he quickly adjusted.
But what about Tang Rou? Did she not know? Or was it that she was persisting?
Liu Xiaobie didn't know. He only knew that he couldn't hold on anymore. He had a feeling in his heart. The two of them were originally running neck and neck, but halfway through, he suddenly discovered a method that he felt was more likely to win. So, he stopped running and ran to learn. The person who persisted in running suddenly overtook him …
This overtaking, was it just this one match? Or … was it their entire career?
In the end, the one who won, was the one who persisted in running, or the one who ran to learn a better method?
With a trace of confusion, Liu Xiaobie's Flying Sword fell. He didn't fall under Han Yanrou's wave of normal attacks and low-level skills, but fell under the overwhelming rhythm established by this wave of attacks.
