The 10th of January finally arrived. Neither Misty Rain nor Wind Howl had made any transfer deals before this day. Wind Howl's original team arrived at City H a day early to warm up and practice. Wind Howl's vice-captain, Liu Hao, received a good welcome in City H. It was clear that many Excellent Era fans were quite attached to this former Excellent Era player. In his pre-match interview, Liu Hao expressed his deep regret about the disbandment of Excellent Era and gave his blessings to the new Excellent Era. He also clearly and accurately described the situation and battle situation of the new Excellent Era in the Challenger League, which immediately moved many Excellent Era fans.
As for the upcoming matches, Liu Hao didn't talk too much about them. Wind Howl's captain, Tang Hao, didn't accept any pre-match interviews. After the All-Star Weekend, there was a rumor that Tang Hao was in a bad mood because of his performance at the All-Star Weekend. This was a bit surprising. Who would have thought that this God would care so much about his performance at the All-Star Weekend?
"Captain? He's in a good mood. He doesn't want to accept any interviews. He just wants to focus on the match. Wind Howl's performance in the past two rounds has been pretty good. We're planning on continuing this momentum! Happy's performance this season has already shown everyone that they're not a weak team, so we need to prepare for the match even more seriously. "Liu Hao said about Tang Hao.
Wind Howl's Liu Hao and Guo Yang had a lot to do with City H, but they didn't have much to do with Happy's team. When Happy faced off against Excellent Era in the Challenger League, the two of them had already left Excellent Era.
However, Wind Howl and Happy were only separated by 5 points on the leaderboard. After this match, the situation might change. In addition, former Wind Howl player, Fang Rui, was the highlight of this match. Many people were willing to label Fang Rui as someone who wanted revenge. After all, his departure from Wind Howl had been quite sad. Everyone could see that Wind Howl had completely abandoned Fang Rui in order to build a new team.
That night, Happy was the host. Xiaoshan Gymnasium was packed to the brim. Happy's outstanding results convinced more and more City H Glory players. Just by looking at their home stadium attendance, it was impossible to tell that this was a new team that had just entered the Alliance. In a competition, strength was the most important factor. This principle was not false at all.
Soon, the competition was about to begin. The first was naturally the individual competition. Happy to be on home turf, they immediately roared the number "17" in unison.
Seventeen!
If Ye Xiu won the next individual competition, his winning streak would be extended to 17 consecutive matches. Since he was always the first to appear in the individual competition, Happy's fans were already cheering for him even before the name list was released.
Happy didn't let the fans cheer for nothing. Ye Xiu stood up from his seat and waved to the audience. Amidst even more lively cheers and applause, he walked onto the stage.
Ye Xiu had always been the symbol of this city's Glory scene. After his comeback, his strong record, his constant breaking of records, and the mystery he had left behind, all of this attracted a large number of fans to him. Among them, the older ones made up the majority. Many of them had already left Glory, but Ye Xiu's comeback had awakened their hot-blooded memories of the past. In the Glory Web, many old accounts that hadn't logged in for a long time reappeared in the game.
This was the era that Ye Xiu represented. The passion of that era was something that the current generation of Gods like Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, and Tang Hao couldn't resonate with. And now, on this stage, this passion was being reignited.
Ye Xiu had already appeared on the stage. Who would be the first player that Team Wind Howl sent out?
Currently, countless experts and commentators in the Glory scene were discussing Happy's arrangement of Ye Xiu's lineup. It was a type of psychological warfare to gain the upper hand.
Ye Xiu would be the first player to appear. He wouldn't hide it, and he wouldn't change it. Then, as the opponent, how would you respond?
Send out a strong player to fight? If you lost, your morale would take a hit. Send out a weak player, like Tian Ji's Horse Race, but you would be suppressed before the match even started. That might not achieve the desired result.
As a result, Happy's move made it very difficult for the opponent to accept. I'll put a strong player first and wait for you to defeat him. Do you dare? Ye Xiu's win streak seemed to be a form of mockery.
Teams that weren't strong enough wouldn't dare to challenge him. They would usually just let the battle go. But some teams would really fight this battle of morale. After all, if they could defeat Ye Xiu in this battle, then their team's morale would be boosted and Happy would be suppressed even more. Happy's move was a double-edged sword, but Ye Xiu swung this double-edged sword so confidently. After sixteen rounds, he only hurt the enemy, not himself.
How would Wind Howl respond?
This team had high aspirations. This team's captain had high aspirations. This team's rookies all had high aspirations. They probably weren't a team that would just pass the first round. Who would they send up? Would they directly send their captain, Tang Hao? Their top core would directly give up on defending the group arena and run over to fight Ye Xiu. Speaking of which, up until now, no team had ever sent out such a person. Would Wind Howl make such an arrangement?
Some people stared at Wind Howl's player bench. Some people stared at the electronic screen. Under Wind Howl's list, the name of the first player slowly appeared.
Tang Hao!
It really was Tang Hao. Sure enough, Wind Howl was the first to bravely eat crabs. They directly sent out their captain, their core, Tang Hao, to confront Ye Xiu.
Wind Howl's diehard fans, who had traveled thousands of miles with the team, were cheering proudly for their team's dominance, but they were quickly drowned out by the boos and jeers of Happy's fans.
If I remember correctly, your captain, Tang Hao, had just been beaten by our captain in the All-Star Competition, right?
Happy's fans were confident. Even though the All-Star Competition was a show, did the fans care about that? They could just find an example to throw at them first.
What could Wind Howl's fans do? Could it be that they could earnestly explain that the All-Star Competition didn't count? This sort of long-winded argument in the forums was fine, but in the stadium, these words didn't have any momentum at all. They could only pretend to ignore it, but the constant jeers of Happy's fans were quite painful to hear.
The one suffering the most was Tang Hao. Even if the whole world didn't care about the All-Star Competition, he still cared a lot about it. Now that he was being jeered at by Happy's fans, he cared even more. His hands were tightly clenched. It was these hands that had helped him win everything. They had helped him make those voices he didn't want to hear disappear again and again. This time, he decided to use these hands again to shut all of Happy's fans up.
"Victory belongs to Wind Howl!"
After the individual competition began, Tang Hao immediately declared his victory, and Demon Subduer charged straight out. No one used any sort of tactical movement in the All-Star Competition, so this time, Tang Hao wouldn't either. What's more, Ye Xiu's 1v1 maps were never complicated. They were always the simplest and most direct.
The two characters decisively met in the middle of the map. Lord Grim had a higher attack range. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was in gun form. He fired Gatling Gun, and bullets rained down. Tang Hao didn't retreat an inch. Demon Subduer quickly weaved through the rain of bullets. It seemed that Gatling Gun alone wouldn't be able to completely suppress him.
The skills were used in the blink of an eye. Demon Subduer had forcefully closed the distance between them, but Lord Grim still had plenty of skills. His character retreated while firing Anti-Tank Missiles. Three missiles left the gun's barrel and shot out in a triangle. The three missiles formed a straight line and flew out in a fan shape.
However, this still wasn't enough to stop Demon Subduer's charge. Demon Subduer had accurately and quickly slipped through the gap between the two artillery shells. In front of a top-tier God, this sort of trick was just child's play.
And at this moment, Demon Subduer had finally entered his attack range. His character waved his hand and used Sand Toss. You couldn't dodge this skill, but you couldn't avoid it. However, Lord Grim had an umbrella in his hands. He opened it and directly blocked it.
This response seemed to be within Tang Hao's expectations. Sand Toss aimed for the instant the opponent turned away. Turning away or blocking with a shield, it was all the same. Demon Subduer had already prepared a Paralysis Needle. If it hit the target, it would cause a paralysis effect. The Brawler class had plenty of these despicable tricks.
The Paralysis Needle was thrown at practically the instant Lord Grim opened his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. What Tang Hao wanted to block was for Ye Xiu to finish blocking the Sand Toss and put away his umbrella. The Paralysis Needle would be right in front of him.
But even though the Sand Toss was blocked, Lord Grim didn't put away his umbrella. The Paralysis Needle that Tang Hao had just timed hit the umbrella shield and fell to the ground without a sound.
Tang Hao was gloomy. Seeing that the umbrella wasn't going to be put away for a while, he might as well take advantage of the cover and have Demon Subduer charge forward. He had a Brick ready in his hands and was waiting to throw it.
In the end, Lord Grim didn't even close his umbrella. Instead, he charged forward.
Charge! A Knight skill. Shields were originally a Knight's equipment, so it didn't affect the use of this skill. It was just that using a shield to block a Charge didn't have as much impact as a Knight's sword. But Tang Hao didn't dare be careless. Shields didn't do much damage, but shields had Shield Bash. This guy had just used it in the All-Stars, and even Huang Shaotian had been hit by it. Tang Hao remembered that scene. At this moment, he didn't dare use the shield as cover anymore. He hastily moved to the side, opened up an opening, raised his hand, and threw the Brick.
In this instant, Tang Hao clearly saw that Lord Grim, who was behind the umbrella shield, had also turned his head precisely in this direction. The opponent's view was staring in this direction.
This was the opponent's response!
By the time Tang Hao realized it, Demon Subduer had already thrown the Brick. He saw Lord Grim pull out a sword from the umbrella handle. The sword light instantly flashed in front of him. Dodge? Demon Subduer stepped forward. His foot had just landed. If he wanted to dodge, where could he step to?
Front? Back? Left? Right?
The sword light had already completely enveloped him.
Hit!
Demon Subduer's blood splattered everywhere.
