December 6th, the fourteenth round of Season 10 of the Glory Pro Alliance ushered in. Happy was the home team, welcoming the challengers, Team Void.
This was a conversation between direct competitors. In Round 12, it was because of this reason that the live broadcast had chosen Happy and Misty Rain's match. But this time, the live broadcast had chosen the match between Wind Howl and Thunder. It was said that in the eSports channel's internal discussion, commentator Pan Lin expressed his opposition to the live broadcast of Happy's match. He also said that guest commentator Li Yibo thought the same.
The reason was very dignified, but as for the actual reason, even though Pan Lin didn't say it, everyone had an "I understand" look on their faces. Wasn't it because they were afraid that Happy would misjudge the situation and be slapped in the face?
But then again, Team Thunder's tactics were also very high-end! Just like in that round, when they used complex and varied tactics to force Yu Wenzhou, would this pair be able to see the meaning behind it? At least, in the post-match interviews, those experienced Glory reporters didn't notice this point. It wasn't until Yu Wenzhou's helpless comment that they were reminded of it. Only then did they interview Xiao Shiqin to confirm it.
The commentating skill needed to be improved...
If there were always face slaps, the channel would be in an awkward position. Unfortunately, there weren't any better candidates. After all, being a commentator and guest commentator wasn't just about knowing the game. They had to be suitable for it and be able to commentate well. Zhou Zekai and Huang Shaotian weren't bad at tactics. They were definitely better than these two. But could they be a commentator and guest commentator? Could they? Could they?
Being suitable was the best.
For now, Pan Lin and Li Yibo were already the best commentating partners.
As a result, Happy's match against Void began without a live broadcast.
Team Void still had the Ghostblade duo as their core. Last season, a new player had appeared, the Exorcist player Ge Caijie. This season, his position was even more stable, and he had already become the most reliable player beside the Ghostblade duo. As for Void, they also needed to quickly improve Ge Caijie's Exorcist character, Blue Exorcist.
When they heard that there was a change in Team Royal Style, and that there was a promotion in the R&D department, Team Void was especially excited. Although Team Royal Style's strength had stabilized in the middle of the pack, their R&D department was undoubtedly at the forefront of creating exorcists. Even though Peaceful Hermit hadn't made it into the All-Stars this season, he was mainly held back by the team's results and performance. In terms of character stats alone, Peaceful Hermit was still the undisputed king of Exorcists.
Void didn't have the guts to directly take in Peaceful Hermit, but getting two experienced technical staff from the other side was also very good.
In the end, when Void took action again, he was dumbstruck to find out that one of the two technicians had already left for Happy and the other for Heavenly Swords. The slightly slower Void missed the strong support that he had been looking forward to for a long time, and tears streamed down his face. He could only rely on his own technical team to continue researching the creation of exorcist equipment.
His character was slightly weaker, but the player, Ge Caijie, didn't have any complaints. This was rare in this day and age where most rookies were impulsive. Ge Caijie had a maturity and steadiness that exceeded his age.
For the first round of the individual competition, Void sent out their second-year rookie. His record in the individual competition this season was also quite extraordinary. In 12 matches, he won 10 and lost 2.
If it weren't for Ye Xiu's abnormal record of 12 consecutive victories in 13 matches, Ge Caijie would have been the player with the highest win rate in the individual competition so far. Now, the two best players in the individual competition were facing off against each other. As soon as the match started, it was full of discussion. In comparison, the opening of the live broadcast of Thunder versus Wind Howl was very dull. Team Thunder didn't have too many explosive points in the individual competition.
"Senior, please advise." Ge Caijie was a steady rookie, so he wouldn't forget the proper etiquette.
"Mm, let's see who can change the other's win rate." Ye Xiu replied. From his words, it could be seen that he had paid quite a bit of attention to this second-year rookie. At the very least, he knew that the other was the strongest player in the individual competition right now.
The countdown to the match began.
Happy's home game. Ye Xiu chose the map, and his style remained the same. The two characters didn't stop, directly finding each other in the center of the map and starting to fight.
Lord Grim used long-ranged attacks, taking the initiative to attack. Ge Caijie's Blue Exorcist dodged, and with a swing of his arm, the scythe in his hand flew out.
It was just a normal Spirit Guidance, without any talismans. The intent of testing was very clear. Ge Caijie lived up to his reputation of being steady. He didn't rush to take the initiative from the start. Even though the current consensus was that the Exorcist would be Lord Grim's nemesis, so what if Royal Style met Happy? Tian Sen wanted Peaceful Hermit to complete the mission of being Lord Grim's nemesis, but in the end, Royal Style still lost to Happy 9 to 1 in that match. The two didn't meet in the individual competition, but in the team competition, Peaceful Hermit, who wanted to be Lord Grim's nemesis, seemed to have been the first to be sent off.
Lord Grim's nemesis, from a theoretical point of view, was established, but what was needed was the ability to turn theory into reality. Ge Caijie believed that Ye Xiu knew better than anyone else about the Exorcist's counter to Lord Grim. There was no way he wouldn't make any preparations. Lord Grim's nemesis had been called out so brazenly. Before he could counter the opponent, he had to be prepared to deal with an opponent who was 120% focused.
Lord Grim easily dodged the scythe, but Ge Caijie immediately used Spirit Guidance again, and the scythe flew back towards Lord Grim. Lord Grim didn't even have time to turn his head before he was cut into a cloud of mist.
Shadow Clone Technique!
His real body had already been sent several units forward, and with a flash of cold light, he was already in front of Ye Xiu with a Shining Cut.
Blue Exorcist, who had used Spirit Guidance on the scythe, didn't even have a weapon in his hands. He couldn't even parry, but an Exorcist wasn't a class that required a weapon to use skills. With a flick of his hand, a talisman had already formed, carrying traces of ice. Blue Exorcist jumped back, sticking close to Lord Grim.
Ice Talisman, an ice-type skill with a freezing effect, definitely couldn't be ignored. It charged so fiercely that even Lord Grim had no choice but to retreat.
The Ice Talisman, which had missed its target, shattered and disappeared in the air, but Blue Exorcist had already slapped out with his hand, forming a new talisman.
Fire Talisman!
After the ice, it was fire. Blue Exorcist attacked with two talismans in a row, not leaving a single gap in between. The rhythm was extremely precise.
Retreat again?
No, that would crash into the scythe that was flying back behind him. Ye Xiu hadn't thought of this at all. Dodging to the left seemed to be a logical choice, but … looking at Blue Exorcist's empty right hand, if he dodged to that side, another rune would hit his right hand, and he would be pressed to the center.
In the end, Ye Xiu chose to continue forward!
Colliding Stab!
Lord Grim suddenly used this Berserker skill, charging forward. The Fire Talisman's attack wasn't like the Ice Talisman's, which couldn't be ignored. Taking it head on was still bearable. Ge Caijie clearly wasn't prepared for Ye Xiu to take it head on. Lord Grim's attack landed, and he continued to charge forward, pulling away from the scythe behind him. Then, he flipped to the right.
Boom!
Lord Grim was hit by the Fire Talisman. His entire body was covered in flames, dealing damage over time.
The scythe flew back to Blue Exorcist's hand. Ye Xiu only received damage from a Colliding Stab. It wasn't as strong as the Fire Talisman, but it was better than nothing.
Sky Strike!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella changed shape and swung out.
Ge Caijie's mind moved, but he didn't make much of a move. The scythe that had just flown back was pulled back in front of him, blocking the Sky Strike. Then, he pushed out with his hand, sending another talisman. This time, it was a Lightning Talisman.
Lord Grim jumped back to dodge it. Blue Exorcist took advantage of the opportunity to swing his scythe. Blue light floated up from the ground, and Lord Grim was lifted into the air by the Ascending Boundary.
Boom!
In the air, Lord Grim quickly adjusted his position and fired an Anti-Tank Missile at Blue Exorcist. Blue Exorcist was just about to follow up with another attack, but he was forced back. Lord Grim used the recoil to bounce back, and his other hand threw back a grenade.
Up and down, the two exchanged a few blows. Neither side was at a great disadvantage, and neither side was at a great advantage. Under normal circumstances, being able to fight Ye Xiu's Lord Grim to a standstill was rare. But right now, many people had higher expectations for Ge Caijie.
Exorcists were known as Lord Grim's nemesis because of the new Level 75 skill, but Ge Caijie still hadn't used it.
Was he waiting for a better opportunity?
Everyone understood this, but they didn't have the same patience as Ge Caijie. They just wanted to see Blue Exorcist succeed in one hit.
It was easier said than done. How could such an opportunity be easy to come by? Carelessly attacking wouldn't have any effect. It would just be a waste of the skill, and during the skill's cooldown, it would lose its deterrence. And right now, Ge Caijie could clearly feel that Ye Xiu was indeed wary of this skill. Some of his moves were clearly on guard against it. The power of a nemesis was already showing! It wasn't only effective if the skill hit the opponent and made him kneel.
"How patient!" Even Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm looking for an opportunity." Ge Caijie didn't seem to be against chatting in a match.
"There won't be one," Ye Xiu said.
"No one can be sure of that," Ge Caijie said.
As he said this, Blue Exorcist swept his scythe up and down. His other hand was preparing a talisman. As Ge Caijie expected, in this situation, Ye Xiu didn't dare use a simple parry. Lord Grim jumped back.
Spirit Guidance!
The scythe that was sweeping downwards suddenly flew out of his hand. The distance that Lord Grim had jumped back wasn't enough for it.
But Ye Xiu, who had put some distance between them, seemed to relax a little. He raised his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to parry. But just as the weapons were about to collide, Ye Xiu saw Blue Exorcist's left hand quickly slap the scythe.
Not good!
Ye Xiu knew the situation wasn't good, but he didn't have time to change his move. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and the scythe collided. A string of talisman energy quickly flew up from the scythe's handle, from where the two weapons met, to the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. As it suddenly bloomed, the word "Seal" flashed.
Level 75 Exorcist skill: Seal Talisman.
Effect: Target equipment bound by the Seal Talisman cannot be used for 1 minute.
