He Ming was dumbstruck.
The great spell that he had asked Rullo to chant without restraint had become meaningless at this moment. That ugly dog hole seemed to have split the world into two halves in an instant.
Boundless Sea's silhouette had already disappeared. That dog hole didn't look very big, but he very accurately went through it. Fang Rui's mechanics were truly extremely precise. It was just that it was a mystery how he could practice such precise dog-drilling. He Ming knew that there was no such content in the training methods, and he believed that Team Wind Howl shouldn't have it either.
The perfect situation had been ruined by this dog hole? He Ming wasn't willing to give up. He immediately canceled the powerful spell he had been casting and hurriedly adjusted his character's position. Even though the hole wasn't big, as long as there was a line of sight, an Elementalist could transfer elemental mana over to form an attack.
But after adjusting his position, he looked at the hole again.
It was pitch-black, and there was no sight of the other side of the hole.
He Ming's face immediately darkened. That guy, he actually blocked the hole? What kind of competition is this!? It's too low-level!
The map quickly flashed through He Ming's mind. He immediately had an idea of what was on the other side of the hole. If he went around this corridor, it would be too far. Who knew where Fang Rui had hidden Hai Wuliang long ago. The fastest way was still to go through the corridor and climb over the wall!
He Ming made up his mind in an instant. Rullo immediately dodged backwards. Looking at the dog hole that was blocked, he felt a lump of anger in his heart. With a casual control, Rullo raised his staff and quickly chanted a Fireball Bomb.
Rumble …
The Fireball Bomb accurately flew into the dog hole, creating a wave of fire inside, crashing into something that was blocking the dog hole.
He Ming didn't want to do anything else here. He casually cast a spell just to vent the frustration in his heart. Rullo continued to run out, but suddenly, his character was pulled against his will, falling towards the dog hole.
Cloud Grasping Fist!
He Ming instantly realized. But apart from calling it despicable, there was nothing he could do.
Rullo fell sideways. Of course, he couldn't directly pass through the dog hole. In the end, he crashed into the hole, his health dropping a little.
Pulse Break: Break Intelligence.
Flash Burst!
Hai Wuliang's hand passed through the hole and the two skills landed on Rullo consecutively. With this burst of inner strength, the entire wall seemed to tremble. Hai Wuliang immediately reached over with both hands and tore Rullo apart. With another tug, the wall surrounding the dog hole arched up and was torn apart in the blink of an eye. The enlarged dog hole was big enough for Rullo to pass through. He was instantly thrown to the ground by Hai Wuliang.
The audience was dumbfounded. The electronic screens in the stadium didn't even know which angle to show this attack from. He simply arranged all the views on the electronic screen and replayed them repeatedly.
As Rullo crawled up from the ground, Hai Wuliang had already completely closed in on him. His Teleportation was not ready yet, so he could not immediately increase the distance between them. Qigong Masters had the weakest close-combat abilities among the Four Fighting Classes. However, they were still stronger than Elementalists. At this moment, Fang Rui did not play any tricks. He controlled Hai Wuliang to brandish his fists and teach Rullo a lesson.
No, to be precise, it shouldn't be fists. Qigong Masters mainly attacked with their palms or finger pokes. They rarely used fists. Although the punches were light and did not seem to have much strength, a person played with their inner strength. That light light punch had already been infused with inner strength. The damage was not much lower than waving a fist and smashing it down.
After a round of beating, He Ming's Rullo didn't seem to be in a bad state. Instead, the dust on his robe that had been stuck to him after he was thrown to the ground had been patted clean. Rullo's HP bar had also been cleaned up.
Of course, He Ming didn't want to be beaten to death by Hai Wuliang. There was still a problem with Fang Rui's Qigong Master. Due to his lack of proficiency and the Thief habits he had cultivated over the years, flaws would often appear when he was continuously attacking. This was not a secret. It was something that had been reported in the news!
What He Ming needed to do was not to miss such an opportunity when it appeared!
Rullo waved his staff. Even if he was an Elemental Mage, he could still wave his staff and perform some normal attacking moves. He Ming still tried his best to put up some resistance. He couldn't just let Hai Wuliang slap him like that!
Hard work paid off. After the dust on his robe was patted off, Hai Wuliang's attack finally showed a break.
Thunderbolt Penetration!
This instant-cast spell was blasted out at such close range. At such a distance, no matter how fast Fang Rui's reaction was, it was too late. Hai Wuliang was struck by Thunderbolt Penetration and felt his entire body go numb.
In a short moment, Rullo activated Full Concentration again. Following that, he threw out a level-75 ice-type spell that did not require chanting: Absolute Zero.
The distance was too close. Although the temporary numbness caused by Thunderbolt Penetration had passed, Fang Rui still couldn't escape the range of Absolute Zero in time. In an instant, Hai Wuliang became an ice sculpture. One of his legs was still in the air, frozen in the position where he was about to leave.
He Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
Absolute Zero had the longest freezing time among all the ice-type skills of the 24 classes. At max level, it could last up to 8 seconds.
He Ming started to calm down and controlled Rullo to widen the distance. He was not in a hurry to attack during the 8 seconds because attacking would shorten the freezing time of Absolute Zero. In a one-on-one, it was most important to make good use of these 8 seconds to get into a fighting stance.
Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang maintained a rather comical posture and watched He Ming's Rullo walk to a position and distance most suitable for an Elemental Mage to attack.
Fang Rui was helpless.
Just like how a newbie would encounter the Newbie Wall, he was also experiencing the pain of transition. It was the same in the previous match. It was the same in this match. Even though he had used the dirty tricks he was good at to rescue himself from the frenzied attacks and complete his counterattack, he still revealed a flaw that was quickly caught by the opponent.
Too greedy...
Fang Rui reflected on himself. With his current run-in situation, it was more suitable for him to use simple and quick moves to repeatedly contend with the opponent, just like the three axes he used in the match against Zhou Guangyi. However, the problem was that this kind of playstyle was too simple. A pro player would quickly see through it. Fang Rui could not possibly use countless three axes. Right now, he was really at his wit's end.
Damn, if I'm still a Thief...
No, at this point in time, how could he still have such thoughts? If he still had such thoughts, it meant that his determination and perseverance were not enough! Right now, he was changing classes to become a Qigong Master. The tricks of a Thief could no longer be used.
Could no longer be used?
After confirming this, another question surfaced in his mind.
Could it really not be used?
He actually asked it a second time in his mind.
What a joke. How could he use it? Thieves and Qigong Masters were two completely different classes with almost no similarities.
Indeed, the classes had nothing in common, but... what about the way of thinking? The playstyle and tactics of a Thief were completely useless to a Qigong Master?
If a Thief had the skills of a Qigong Master, what would happen if he had the skills of a Qigong Master?
This kind of fantasy made Fang Rui's eyes suddenly light up.
He was still a Thief, but he had the skills of a Qigong Master. What if that was the case?
This thought bubbled up. This was a thought that not even Absolute Zero could freeze.
"It's about time." He Ming, who had regained the initiative, said in the chat. It felt pretty good to be able to gain the upper hand in a battle with an All-Star like him. He calculated the timing of Absolute Zero and didn't waste any time. After a long cast, he blasted out a skill!
Raging Flame Storm!
Elementalists had ice, fire, light, and dark spells. Because they had limited skill points, it was impossible to learn all the spells of all the elements. Usually, they would choose to major in two elements. If they had enough skill points, they would look for spells from the other two elements that would help them.
He Ming's Elementalists focused on light and fire. The fastest light, the fiercest fire. Fire and light Elementalists could be considered the most aggressive style among Elementalists. Of course, Rullo's equipment would prioritize the light and fire elements when it came to attribute enhancement. For He Ming, ice and dark only pursued offensive effects.
At this moment, Hai Wuliang was already frozen by Absolute Zero. What came next was, of course, the fiercest attack.
Unfortunately, his most powerful attack skill, Firebird, was still on cooldown. He Ming didn't have many options.
Raging Flame Storm rolled up. Hai Wuliang quickly dispelled Absolute Zero, but at the same time, Lightning Purgatory fell.
How could Rullo, a Fire and Light Elemental, not learn the Level 75 light spell, Lightning Purgatory?
And this was the strongest move of light spells. It also inherited the greatest characteristic of their element: fast cast and fast attack.
Lightning Purgatory required casting, but the casting speed was as fast as a low-level spell below Level 20.
The time it took for Raging Flame Storm to reach Absolute Zero was enough for Lightning Purgatory to cast. A bolt of lightning fell the moment Absolute Zero was dispelled. Hai Wuliang had no way of dodging it.
One bolt, two bolts, three bolts, four bolts...
A total of six bolts of lightning struck. The interval between each bolt was actually not very tight. However, as long as one of the bolts of Lightning Purgatory hit, a barrier would lock the character, guiding the subsequent bolts of lightning to chase after him.
Hai Wuliang had taken the first bolt. Thus, he had taken a total of six bolts of Lightning Purgatory.
After two waves of powerful moves, Hai Wuliang was once again heavily injured. Rullo had earned back the damage he had dealt to Rullo in a few moves.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing Boundless Sea struggle out of the Lightning Purgatory and quickly use a horizontal skill, Rullo pointed with his staff and sent a Flame Bullet forward.
Hai Wuliang lunged forward, avoiding the Fireball. He rolled, jumped, crouched, and rolled again. Hai Wuliang was moving quickly, using this special method to move.
He Ming was stunned.
The way he moved was rather unusual, but it couldn't be said to be weird. It was actually quite common.
Thieves liked to use this kind of method to move around. This was because Traps were a Thief's main skill. To set up a Trap, the character would have to crouch. As a result, the Thief would frequently crouch, roll, or other low body positions close to the ground. This allowed the Thief to maintain the posture of setting up a Trap at all times. It was convenient and concealed.
And this movement method, closely related to the skills of a class, had actually appeared on a Qigong Master?
"Hahahaha, you've gone crazy from missing your Thief, haven't you?" He Ming sent a laughing emoji. In the end, he suddenly saw something moving in the air within his field of vision.
