The Gods who were used to participating in the All Star Weekend didn't take it too seriously, but the rookies didn't. Especially for many of the first-year rookies. They had just entered the Alliance and had very few chances to compete, so they all had a desire to show off. The All Star Competition had a lot of attention and high-level opponents. It really was a good opportunity to show off. Even if the victory wasn't guaranteed, defeating the Battle God, defeating the Great Gunner, and defeating the Sword Saint was something to be proud of.
For all these reasons, the rookies were quite passionate about the All Star Weekend. If they were passionate about it, they would put their heart into it. When facing a God, no matter how humble they appeared, they still wanted to win. Right now, Zhou Xinran and Song Qiying were facing a 2v1. Even though Song Qiying was a bit hesitant because it didn't follow the rules, now that the match had started, he immediately began to focus on winning. 2v1, then they had to use a 2v1 strategy. That was the only way to make sense. Song Qiying didn't have any intentions of deliberately creating a 1v1 situation. As a result, as soon as he entered the match, he actively communicated with his partner. The two weren't too familiar with each other. Directly relying on awareness and skill to achieve tacit understanding wouldn't be too good, so Song Qiying hoped to first communicate a strategy.
A strategy that worked together with the same class.
In theory, the two characters weren't of the same class. They only had a tiny bit of shared low-level skills, but starting from this point was undoubtedly the quickest way to find a common ground. Song Qiying's train of thought was quite correct.
A strategy that worked together with the same class?
Zeng Xinran was also quite a thoughtful rookie. When he heard Song Qiying say this, he immediately thought of a strategy that worked together with the same class in several strong teams. A duet with the same skill could be said to be the most common strategy for players of the same class. His Brawler and Song Qiying's Striker could be considered a duet.
But …
Song Qiying didn't like a 2v1, but now that it was a foregone conclusion, he quickly got into character and began seriously thinking about a 2v1. But Zeng Xinran? He was still a bit outside of the situation. He was more focused on defeating Ye Xiu and showing off himself. A 2v1? He didn't think that much. When he heard Song Qiying mention it, he just subconsciously thought about it. He didn't resist it too much, but he also didn't put too much thought into it.
"Yeah …. Striker and Brawler, we can …."
"Let's talk about it later! The opponent is already here! " Zeng Xinran interrupted Song Qiying, and Delillo moved towards Lord Grim.
"Don't worry!" Song Qiying hurriedly shouted. Song Qiying actually had a lot of ideas about the coordination between a Striker and a Brawler. Don't forget that Team Tyranny currently had a Striker and Brawler combination, and they were the most experienced Striker and Brawler players in the Alliance. But now … His partner beside him didn't seem to be interested in patiently cooperating!
"I'll test it out, help me!" Zeng Xinran didn't completely reject Song Qiying. It was clear that he was still very clear about his own abilities. Defeat Guru Ye Xiu, who had won 16 consecutive duels in the Pro League? Zeng Xinran had such expectations, but he didn't dare to have too much confidence. However, in a team with Song Qiying, he was very willing to put himself in the position of the protagonist. Even if Song Qiying's reputation seemed to be greater than his, Zeng Xinran's confidence in competing for a spot with a fellow rookie was much greater.
"How are you planning on testing?" Song Qiying hurriedly controlled his River Sunset to chase after him. In this match, the two rookies had been constantly communicating with each other, thanks to the open voice channel. The All-Stars were more casual, and in the past, there had been arrangements where voice chat wasn't allowed. But recently, there had been a lot of discussion about voice chat, so the arrangement for the All-Stars might be a trial.
"I'll play it by ear," Zeng Xinran replied.
"You should at least have a plan!" Zeng Xinran's casual reply scared Song Qiying.
"Mm, I'll go first. You support me," Zeng Xinran told him his plan.
"…" Song Qiying was speechless for a moment and was about to say something.
"Dodge!" Zeng Xin Ran shouted loudly.
Boom!
Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella flashed with light as he attacked the two from afar.
"He has the distance advantage compared to us. He won't let us close in so easily. We need to think of a way to surround him," Song Qiying shouted.
"What is it?" Zeng Xinran's Delillo rolled. Lord Grim's attacks hadn't stopped since the start. Gunner, Mage, any type of skill, as long as it was within range, they used it. Zeng Xinran's Brawler also had some mid-range attacks, but he was forced to stay out of range.
"Let's split into two groups!" Song Qiying said.
"F * ck, I thought you had some brilliant idea!" Zeng Xinran said.
"Even if we surround him, we can't just rush in from two directions! You have to pay attention to the opponent's attack patterns and how he uses his skills. You have to find the best angle to cut in, "Song Qiying explained.
"So much nonsense. Why don't you just tell us where the angle is!" Zeng Xinran shouted.
"I'll go left, you go right," Song Qiying said.
"Why don't you be more general!" Zeng Xinran said.
"Split up first, then move randomly," Song Qiying shouted.
"Isn't that the same as what I said at the start?" Zeng Xinran mumbled. The two rookies, Striker River Sunset and Brawler Delillo, split into left and right, closing in from both sides.
"Pull back, pull back, pull back a bit more! Pull back! "Song Qiying shouted as he watched and dodged Lord Grim's attacks. The two characters quickly pulled back, forming a line with Lord Grim.
"Very good. His firepower has decreased a lot. Cover my attack range!" Zeng Xinran shouted.
"How am I supposed to cover you!" Song Qiying was depressed. He was a Striker, the class with the shortest attack range out of the 24 classes. Cover? That kind of thing rarely happened to this class.
"Charge a bit harder. Draw his attention," Zeng Xinran said.
"You want me to be cannon fodder? You really are something." Song Qiying cursed, but River Sunset really did take action. In his eyes, Zeng Xinran's idea was a reasonable one.
Reinforced Iron Bones!
River Sunset quickly activated this high defense Super Armor skill and activated Cloud Body. He then dodged the attack head-on.
Sure enough, seeing River Sunset's fierce assault, Lord Grim's attacks became even more concentrated. He even began to retreat, trying to pull away.
"Beautifully done!" Zeng Xinran could clearly feel the pressure on his side decrease. With a shout of praise, Delillo seized the opportunity to charge forward.
Should he look left or right?
Ye Xiu seemed to be stuck in a dilemma. Song Qiying's River Sunset was supposed to draw attention, but every step he took was very real. If Lord Grim's attacks relaxed even a little bit, Song Qiying wouldn't hesitate to let River Sunset charge straight in. Strikers needed to be extremely close. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to display their fighting strength.
What would he do?
Song Qiying stared at Lord Grim's every move.
"Remember to maintain your angle!" Song Qiying shouted. He noticed that after Lord Grim cut vertically, he was narrowing the angle between the two of them. He could switch targets more easily. He couldn't let him do that.
"You maintain it!" Zeng Xinran replied decisively.
Song Qiying was speechless. It was possible for one person to maintain this angle. But in comparison, if both of them maintained this position, they would be more flexible! This Zeng Xinran was dead set on being the main attacker!
There was no time to argue in the middle of a battle. Song Qiying could only helplessly shoulder the dirty work that others didn't want to do. He continued to move horizontally, maintaining the three of them in a line, while doing his best to close in on Lord Grim.
Lord Grim's attacks towards River Sunset became even more concentrated.
"There's a chance!" Song Qiying shouted.
"You don't need to say that!" Zeng Xinran's Delillo used a Powerful Knee Strike. It wasn't an attack, but rather a movement skill. It forcefully closed the distance.
"I'm coming!" Zeng Xinran shouted.
"Don't rush!!" Song Qiying hastily shouted. However, Delillo had already used a Powerful Knee Strike and couldn't stop it in time. Moreover, Zeng Xinran didn't take Song Qiying's words seriously.
This wasn't right!
A two-sided pincer seemed simple, but it was actually a very balanced way of fighting. Especially since Song Qiying's character was a Striker, a class that needed to be at close range in order to be effective. If Delillo rushed forward too quickly, the balance would be broken. There was a high chance that the other side would counterattack.
Song Qiying knew that it was impossible for him to stop Zeng Xinran. He could only order his River Sunset to charge forward, but …
"Behind you!!" Song Qiying shouted. Lord Grim used Shadow Clone Technique and his real body flashed behind Delillo. Zeng Xinran was still confused. He raised his Brick, excited that he had finally entered attack range. He prepared to throw it at Lord Grim. Hearing Song Qiying's shout, he knew that the situation wasn't good, but it was too late. Blood spurted out from Delillo's neck. Ye Xiu had mercilessly let Lord Grim cut his throat.
Yes! This was the type of separation!
Delillo had rushed in too quickly, cutting off the connection between him and River Sunset. At this distance, River Sunset couldn't use any attacks. Zeng Xinran was basically facing Ye Xiu one on one. Moreover, he had been ambushed from behind. Song Qiying could only watch. He couldn't do anything. All he could do was have River Sunset move faster.
But … … would Ye Xiu let Lord Grim wait for River Sunset to come over?
Of course not.
With a Falling Flower Palm, Delillo was sent flying towards River Sunset. Lord Grim took advantage of this opportunity to quickly retreat and kite the two of them from afar. (To be continued.)
