It was a simple hit.
Blood blossomed from the slash, cutting down Tang Hao's soaring spirits.
Demon Subduer's Brick was easily dodged by the opponent, while he himself was helplessly hit by the slash. How could Ye Xiu's attack only be a single slash? The Sword Draw hit. Following that, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield was put away. Various forms were displayed as all sorts of skills landed on Demon Subduer.
Unspecialized Blitz!
Unknowingly, the players had already given Lord Grim a name for his combo. Even though they weren't clear on the changes in Ye Xiu's unspecialized combo, when they saw the opponent being hit from head to toe by all sorts of low-level skills, they knew that the unspecialized was about to hit.
Under this flurry of attacks, 16 people had already been defeated. Among them, there were nervous rookies, rookies with potential, players who had given up on their strategies, and players who had given up. There were also former Gods like Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping.
It was the first time they had encountered a core player like Tang Hao.
But the result?
The players who had high hopes for Tang Hao were quickly disappointed.
This … was no different from the others!
Victory belonged to Wind Howl?
Tang Hao's proclamation before the match seemed like a slap to his own face. He was so powerless on the field that he was completely overwhelmed.
What was going on? This wasn't the All-Star Competition.
Quite a few players were puzzled. They felt that this wasn't Tang Hao's true skill.
Tang Hao also felt the same way. This definitely wasn't his true skill, but the problem was that he couldn't display his true skill.
After Ye Xiu had stolen the initiative, Tang Hao felt a bit defeated, but his fighting spirit and high spirits hadn't completely dissipated. He had already prepared an opportunity to counterattack. He was just waiting for Ye Xiu to reveal an opening.
But … there was no opening.
What kind of foundation did these four simple words contain?
No matter how arrogant Tang Hao was, no matter how confident he was that he could defeat anyone, he didn't dare to think that he would be completely flawless in a match.
No one could do this. At least, that was what Tang Hao thought before today. But now, in this immersive match, his opponent didn't leave him any openings.
How was this possible?
Was it because his eyes were not sharp enough?
Tang Hao did not believe that anyone could be flawless, so he began to doubt his own observation skills. His confidence began to waver.
Tang Hao couldn't tell whether this self-doubt started today or after the Allstar Competition. He only knew that he didn't want to lose, but he couldn't find a way to win.
Was this going to continue?
Seeing that Demon Subduer's HP was getting lower and lower, Tang Hao was a little anxious.
What if he really couldn't find any openings? Would Ye Xiu, who was at almost full health, take out the match in one go? In Ye Xiu's 16 consecutive victories, it didn't seem like anyone had lost so miserably, right? Could it be that he was inferior to those fellows?
"Impossible!!!" Tang Hao roared. However, no one could hear his voice. Voice chat was only available in the All-Star Match. Once they returned to the Pro League, the rules were still the same.
However, following this roar, Tang Hao rose to his feet. He ignored Lord Grim's next attack and activated Reinforced Iron Bones. He forced his way forward!
He immediately pounced.
Tang Hao's choice wasn't some sort of solution. It looked more like the struggle of a trapped beast. Ye Xiu looked like he had a hundred ways to deal with him. Then, he chose one and pounced on Tang Hao.
The stadium was filled with boos. Tang Hao's struggle looked extremely unskilled in the eyes of many normal players. Did he really think that he could break through an unspecialized's fast play?
"Too naive!" The Happy fans in the stadium shouted loudly.
Their voices couldn't reach Tang Hao's ears, but he knew better than anyone what he was doing.
Not even once? Again!
Tang Hao rushed forward again. Like an amateur, he continued to tangle with Ye Xiu without any skill.
You look like you have a hundred ways to deal with me? Alright, then I'll give it a try. Let's see if you really have that many ways.
Tang Hao stubbornly twisted, but the laughter in the stadium gradually died down.
Tang Hao's play wasn't good, and it was even beneath his status as a God. However, when there was no other way, he was able to lower himself and bravely make such a laughable attempt. Tang Hao's pursuit of victory was truly very pure. If many people felt that the All-Star Competition made him lose face, then at this moment, his actions clearly didn't care about his reputation.
He wasn't fighting for his reputation. What he wanted was to win.
Unfortunately, victory wasn't something that could be won by lowering everything. No one really knew if Ye Xiu had that many ways to deal with Tang Hao. Everyone only knew that Tang Hao's various attempts to break through the Southern Wall had ultimately resulted in him breaking his own head and bleeding. The entire stadium stopped laughing, but Ye Xiu didn't relax at all.
Perhaps Tang Hao had boundless courage to try, but Tang Hao didn't have boundless HP.
Time and time again, he was unable to break through Lord Grim's attacks. All he could do was face an even stronger backlash. Finally, Tang Hao's HP reached its end.
He lost!
However, unlike in the All-Star Competition, he didn't feel that kind of humiliation and awkwardness.
Wang Jiexi's Magician playstyle had come suddenly and unexpectedly. Tang Hao was caught unprepared, and his heart was filled with resentment from being caught off guard by this unexpected situation. However, what he was experiencing right now wasn't this kind of unexpected thing. It wasn't that he was caught unprepared. This was a true suppression, a suppression that came from the opponent's strength being above his own.
How could there be such a strong opponent?
When Tang Hao fell, there was no humiliation in Tang Hao's heart. Instead, there was this kind of emotion.
"I'll win next time!" However, he was still stubborn, as if he had forgotten that his victory declaration at the start of the match had just been thoroughly slapped in the face.
"We'll talk about next time," Ye Xiu replied. Kill.
The entire stadium let out a sigh of relief.
Let out a sigh of relief? Why did they have this kind of feeling? Everyone suddenly felt that it was strange. Tang Hao was clearly just randomly attacking without any skill. How could he win with this kind of playstyle? Why was there a need to be nervous for Ye Xiu?
When Ye Xiu left the stage, applause rang out. Amidst the excitement, there was a trace of hesitation.
What about Tang Hao? As a loser, and an ugly loser at that, his footsteps looked very determined. Everyone looked at him with mixed emotions, but they could not pinpoint the reason.
Ye Xiu walked off the stage and returned to his seat.
"Beautifully played. You taught that guy a lesson!" Chen Guo came over and praised. She did not like the strength in Tang Hao's body. She was pleased to be suppressed by Ye Xiu.
"It was very beautiful." Fang Rui nodded. "But, it must have been hard on you, right?"
"Hmm?" Chen Guo was puzzled. She looked at Ye Xiu's expression and realized that he did not seem to be overjoyed after winning. That guy usually did not show his emotions on his face, but at that moment, his expression did not seem to be relaxed after winning. Chen Guo immediately knew that she had been too shallow in looking at the problem. She looked at Su Mucheng. From the way Su Mucheng looked at Ye Xiu, she could see … worry.
"It wasn't easy," Ye Xiu said.
"What's wrong?" Chen Guo asked.
"Lady Boss … do you think that it's easy to completely suppress a player like Tang Hao?" Fang Rui said.
"Huh?"
"That's because he was in a state of high intensity throughout the entire match! It's very tiring, "Fang Rui said.
Chen Guo finally understood that Ye Xiu must have put in more effort than a normal match to achieve this seemingly beautiful victory. Defeat Tang Hao? What he had done was not only this, but he had completely suppressed him.
"Why did you do that?" Chen Guo was a little anxious. Was it not good enough to win? Was it necessary to win so thoroughly and cause so much damage? Chen Guo felt sorry for him.
"Why? Because I don't want to lose either! "Ye Xiu said.
'Don't want to lose?'
Chen Guo was stunned. Did Ye Xiu mean that if he did not completely suppress Tang Hao and gave him a chance to counterattack, he might have been defeated by Tang Hao?
Chen Guo looked at Fang Rui, then at Su Mucheng, and then at everyone else.
Everyone was silent. No one had any doubts about this.
Chen Guo could not say anything else.
"You … have a good rest!" That was all she could say.
The match continued. Even though she was worried about Ye Xiu, the match was going very well. In the second and third individual matches, Happy was won by Mo Fan and Su Mucheng respectively. They actually achieved a three to zero victory in the individual matches.
The audience had completely forgotten about the strange feeling the first match had given them. Cheers for a ten to zero victory rose up in the stadium again. The individual matches were the most scattered. It had always been the biggest obstacle to achieving a ten to zero victory. Now that they had won all the individual matches, they would probably achieve another ten to zero victory in this round! So far, as long as Happy won all of their individual matches, it was always a 10 to 0!
Hearing the cheers of the stadium, Chen Guo was not as excited as the audience. She would not forget Ye Xiu's hard work in the first match so easily. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
The group matches had already begun. Happy's first opponent was Fang Rui and his Qi Master, Hai Wuliang.
The audience applauded.
Even though Fang Rui had changed his style to a Qi Master, he still insisted on playing dirty. Even though his playstyle wasn't well-liked, and many people in the Qi Master community despised him, there were still many Happy's fans who appreciated him. For such a new team that had just entered the Alliance, what everyone cared more about was winning or losing, and what their results were. Results had to be beautiful. That sort of high pursuit was left to those powerhouses who had solid results and needed the icing on the cake! Happy's fans were clearly more pragmatic now. Victory was above all else.
Wasn't a victory for playing dirty still a victory?
Amidst the cheers and applause, Fang Rui walked onto the stage and entered the player booth. His first opponent was Team Wind Howl's Zhao Yuzhe.
"Senior, it seems like you're doing quite well at Happy!" As soon as the match began, Zhao Yuzhe actually took the initiative to chat with Fang Rui.
