Deception hadn't left yet! After jumping into the ditch, he actually hid there and used an Underground Tunneling Technique.
Sun Xiang's view was focused on the two corners of the ditch. He was trying to figure out which way to go, so he didn't even look at his feet. By the time the commotion was large enough to be noticed, it was already too late to react.
The ninjato viciously cut into One Leaf Of Autumn's lower jaw, sending him flying. Mo Fan and Deception were the first to succeed!
Annihilation, Flame Cut, Neck Bind Technique, Ninjutsu: Flickering Charge.
These four skills landed on One Leaf Of Autumn's body without any openings. Even Sun Xiang couldn't do anything about it.
"Beautiful!" Fang Rui yelled from Happy's player bench.
Mo Fan, who was good at timing, had a very good grasp of combos. However, even if the system determined a combo to be valid, it didn't mean it couldn't be broken. From a certain perspective, false combos were truly unbreakable combos. However, this type of combo that Ye Xiu's unspecialized frequently used was very difficult to master without a lot of experience. Mo Fan's performance in this area was extremely average.
However, when the system determined a combo, especially one that was within five skills, Mo Fan's control was so high that even Ye Xiu was amazed. And this was also due to the habit he had developed while scrap-picking in the game. When scrap-picking, it was impossible to fight with others, so he would always look for opportunities to burst out and leave in the shortest amount of time possible. Five skills was the limit for this burst. Any more and Mo Fan would consider it unsuitable for him to use.
Over time, Mo Fan had developed this habit of using three axes in a battle. This habit caused him to feel weak after using three axes. After joining Happy, the training and development of his class finally made him gradually change. At first, Ye Xiu hoped that he could completely change this habit of short bursts, but he gradually realized that this habit affected Mo Fan not only on a technical level, but also on a mental level.
Concentration.
Mo Fan's concentration also fluctuated with this rhythm. When the three axes were used, his concentration would instantly reach its peak. His control would be precise and effective, comparable to a top expert. However, once this phase was over, there was an obvious decline. Compared to before, his control after this phase was much worse.
This abnormally high concentration was actually the reason why Mo Fan was able to perform at the level of a top god for a short period of time. This seemed to be a skill that came with a cooldown.
After realizing this, Ye Xiu realized that it was most likely going to be Mo Fan's specialty. His style would most likely come from it, too.
As such, Ye Xiu no longer expected Mo Fan to erase his habits. Instead, Mo Fan took advantage of the situation and taught him how to organize his attacks to ensure the continuity of the battle.
In the past, Mo Fan would pick up the items and run away. After three axes, he would basically stop fighting. Naturally, he didn't need to consider what skills he could use after that. When the time came, he would just use the three axes in his head. But the competition couldn't be fought like this. After three strikes, the battle would be over a long time ago! He would immediately fall into a state where he didn't know what to use, or where he couldn't continue after using two moves. How could that be allowed?
Mo Fan had finally completed this evolution. After his three axes were no longer without caring about the consequences, his actual combat ability had greatly increased. Now, on the battlefield, when he focused on bursting forth, he was actually able to fight evenly with Sun Xiang. He wasn't at a disadvantage.
However, after a few moves, he would turn around and run. This wasn't something that Ye Xiu was surprised by. His concentration would always be scattered. If he continued to fight like that, he definitely wouldn't be Sun Xiang's opponent.
However, Ye Xiu didn't expect that after escaping for a short while, Mo Fan would start another wave of attacks.
Underground Tunneling Technique, Annihilation, Flame Slash, Neck Bind Technique, Ninjutsu: Flickering Charge.
Five skills. Mo Fan's abnormal concentration was at its limit. Even Sun Xiang had no way to break through this kind of combo.
However, compared to the last wave of attacks, wasn't it a little too close?
To be honest, Ye Xiu wasn't too sure how many times Mo Fan could repeatedly focus like this in this match. He also wasn't sure how long it would take for him to do it again after he was done with it once. Ye Xiu could only rely on his experience to realize that Mo Fan's explosive concentration was a type of overdraft. As a result, every time he finished focusing, he would be scattered for a moment. That was a sign of mental exhaustion. But now, Mo Fan had actually done it twice in a row. How much of a burden would this put on him?
"This kid, he's really going all out?" The members of Team Happy obviously understood Mo Fan's characteristics. Seeing him unleash a second wave of attacks in such a short amount of time, Wei Chen cried out in astonishment.
"If he keeps going like this, how long can he last?" Qiao Yifan said.
Everyone was silent. In the end, Mo Fan was still a loner. His playstyle had been formed, but how he would use it and where his limits were, no one except himself knew.
After the successful combo, Mo Fan once again controlled Deception to hide.
"Sigh, why isn't he continuing to attack?" Pan Lin didn't understand. Even though the combo had ended there, a new wave of attacks could definitely continue after the combo ended.
"He probably doesn't feel very confident …" Li Yibo said.
"This contestant Mo Fan, it's very rare for him to make such a long combo! With his skill, I feel like he can definitely do better. I feel like he's a bit too cautious, too conservative, "Pan Lin said.
"Haha, this probably has to do with his background!" Li Yibo said.
"Are you talking about scrap pickers?" Pan Lin said.
"Yeah, the most important thing for scrap pickers is to protect themselves! If they can't protect themselves, how are they going to scrap pick? Even though Mo Fan is a pro player now, from what I know, he's been active in the game for a long time. Being cautious and conservative is probably a trait he developed from scrap picking for so long, "Li Yibo said.
These words made sense, and Mo Fan did have this sort of awareness because he had been scrap picking for a long time. However, it was clear that these two hadn't noticed Mo Fan's characteristics. It could also be said that up until now, apart from Happy's teammates, no one else knew about Mo Fan's cooldown style. After all, Mo Fan's appearances weren't very stable, and the number of times he appeared in Happy wasn't very high.
But in this match, against a strong opponent like Sun Xiang, Mo Fan's potential seemed to have been pushed to its limits. As soon as the match started, he unleashed two explosive attacks in a row, successfully taking out a chunk of One Leaf Of Autumn's health. This was something no one had expected. In everyone's opinion, if Sun Xiang was so efficient against Fang Rui, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to fight against a rookie?
Because Sun Xiang had obtained a 72% health advantage in the first round, Happy's fans didn't dare to shout anything like a 10-0. Samsara's fans, on the other hand, became more enthusiastic after this and started shouting things like a 1v3. A 1v3 was another story for Happy, a rather disgraceful story. Samsara's fans were killing two birds with one stone, cheering for Mo Fan and mocking him.
But after Mo Fan took the initiative and attacked, Samsara's fans shut up. They began to discuss spiritedly. How could Happy's rookie be so strong?
Everyone was intimidated by Mo Fan's three axes. Even Sun Xiang didn't dare to be too careless. It was rare to see someone who could compete with him in terms of pure mechanics and technique. Sun Xiang, who was looking for traces of Deception, was much more careful. From time to time, he would look down at his feet, as if Deception would pop out at any moment.
Nothing!
Deception had completely disappeared this time. Sun Xiang couldn't find him even after looking around. He felt a bit helpless. He knew how terrifying this player's patience was. This was … a player who had waited patiently until the referee gave him a red card. This was the only player in the history of the Glory Alliance.
But when he thought of the red card incident last time, Sun Xiang decided not to move. One Leaf Of Autumn was just standing there in the open. Deception, are you coming out or not? If you don't come out, do you want to get a red card?
But was the current Mo Fan still the same Mo Fan?
At that time, he was just standing there like a fool, not moving at all. The referee saw it as a passive player, but the current Mo Fan, even though he hadn't made a move, was very active. He had Deception move the entire time, looking for an opportunity to attack. One Leaf Of Autumn didn't move, so Deception immediately circled around to his back. But when he arrived behind One Leaf, he felt like he was too far away to mount a sneak attack. It wasn't reliable at all. After sneaking a few glances, Deception moved away.
The crowd booed. Of course, they were all Samsara's fans. Happy's fans didn't like this sort of dawdling, but they were very tolerant of their own players.
Deception circled around and didn't find an opportunity. But at this moment, the referee made his move. Unexpectedly, he gave Sun Xiang a yellow card.
Sun Xiang was dumbstruck. What was going on?
To be honest, Sun Xiang didn't really understand the definition of passive play. With his playstyle, did he need to study this? But in the current situation, Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn was just standing there like a fool, while Mo Fan's Deception was just walking around, looking for an opportunity. It was very clear who was passive and who was active.
Sun Xiang's ability to restrain himself was a huge improvement compared to the past. In the previous match, such forbearance had helped him obtain a beautiful victory. However, in this match, he had won another yellow card for him.
Not only was Sun Xiang dumbstruck, Happy's fans also looked at each other in dismay!
The yellow card was a system announcement, so Mo Fan could obviously see it. If Fang Rui were in Zhou Zekai's shoes, he would be able to utter a lot of trash talk right away. However, Mo Fan was even less talkative than Zhou Zekai, so it was unlikely that he had the ability to utter trash talk.
Sun Xiang was forced to move by the yellow card, so he could only have One Leaf Of Autumn start looking for Deception again. The group arena was a 1v1, so the map wasn't big. One Leaf Of Autumn walked along the edge of the gully, paying attention to the gully in his field of vision, and began to use space compression on Deception. At this moment, Deception also headed towards One Autumn Leaf to greet him.
