Dancing Rain fell.
Wang Jiexi was this kind of person. In crucial moments, he had never dropped the ball. He would lose, but he would never make people lose faith in him. So even if he had to face multiple opponents, even if he had to face three opponents last time against Happy, Tiny Herb's players and Tiny Herb's fans would still have faith in him.
That time, it had been Happy's home game.
And this time, it had been Micrograss.
The moment Dancing Rain fell, Chen Guo could only see Wei Chen's lips moving. He was probably still cursing, but what was he saying? He probably couldn't even hear it himself.
And this was just by defeating an opponent with only 21% of her health left. Micrograss fans had already drowned out all the noise in the stadium. If they really won this team competition, how excited would these Micrograss fans be?
Chen Guo really hoped that a bucket of cold water would cool these guys down. At this moment, Tang Rou's Han Yanrou spawned on the stage.
Wang Jiexi had taken away 8% of Vaccaria's health and defeated Su Mucheng. Compared to his strength, this 8% loss would probably be ignored by too many people. Han Yanrou at 100% and Vaccaria at 92% were standing together. Almost everyone favored the latter.
"Wang Jiexi, as expected of Wang Jiexi!!" After Su Mucheng defeated Liu Xiaobie and Ye Fei, Ruan Cheng, who had been in a bad mood, became excited again. His mood wasn't much worse than the Micrograss fans in the stadium. Pan Lin and Li Yibo looked at him. They wondered if this guy would pounce on the screen and lick it if he wasn't on a show.
"As long as Wang Jiexi is here, Micrograss will have a hard time losing the group arena." Ruan Cheng continued to sigh. His tone was very similar to Xianglin sister-in-law's tone when she said, "I'm really stupid, really."
Pan Lin and Li Yibo were completely at a loss for words. They were commentating on a serious match, and there was no way they could communicate with a brainless fan.
Fortunately, on the field, Han Yanrou and Vaccaria had already met.
"Good! Let's pay attention to the competition. "Pan Lin's spirits were lifted.
"Dragon Breaks the Ranks!" Ruan Cheng yelled.
Pan Lin and Li Yibo were dumbfounded. Where did Dragon Breaks the Ranks come from?
"Hahaha, you didn't use Dragon Breaks the Ranks?" Ruan Cheng mocked.
Pan Lin and Li Yibo continued to stare blankly. Tang Rou indeed liked to use Dragon Breaks the Ranks to start the match, but this was a proper match, and this was a proper live broadcast. Wasn't this way of expressing it a bit too problematic?
But the two didn't have the time to say anything. Tang Rou's style was very direct. Whether or not she used Dragon Breaks the Ranks didn't matter. Pan Lin and Li Yibo listened to Ruan Cheng's nonsense. Why were the two fighting so fiercely? They were actually distracted by the details …
The commentator's time was suddenly stuck. The two glared at Ruan Cheng, somewhat annoyed. Ruan Cheng, on the other hand, was very focused and excited. The two characters were fighting back and forth, but in terms of offense and defense, Wang Jiexi had the initiative.
"As expected of Wang Jiexi!" Ruan Cheng praised again.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Pan Lin and Li Yibo had already begun to think that Ruan Cheng was trying to draw aggro to Wang Jiexi, but with his praise, the more they looked at Vaccaria, the more annoyed they felt.
But right now, Wang Jiexi had the upper hand. This was a fact.
He had improved again.
After half a season, Wang Jiexi and Tang Rou were fighting again. This was his first thought.
Especially in terms of rationality.
Tang Rou was extremely competitive. In her battles, she had won and lost, but she had never compromised or retreated. But there were often times when compromise and retreating were the better choices. But when it came to Tang Rou, there was no such thing. She would continue to choose a method and continue to press forward. This type of choice could sometimes be unexpected, but it could also sometimes have the opposite effect.
But this time, Tang Rou?
While praising her improvement, Wang Jiexi also had to bitterly smile.
Because the reason why her choices had become more rational wasn't because she had compromised or retreated. It was because as she continued to press forward, her choices had become more accurate.
Her understanding of skills had become more thorough. She had accumulated more experience. She had used all possible methods to strengthen her indomitable fighting style.
This girl, even her methods of improving herself were indomitable. Wang Jiexi couldn't help but praise her.
But …
It wasn't enough!
While Wang Jiexi was praising Tang Rou's improvement, Tang Rou once again felt the difference in strength. Perhaps part of this was due to equipment, but Tang Rou wouldn't see this as a reason.
She just wanted to win. She didn't want to lose.
The difference in strength didn't mean victory or defeat. Matches were won through fighting, not through competition.
But Wang Jiexi understood this principle better than she did. He wasn't someone who would relax just because he saw his opponent.
Bang!
When Han Yanrou swung her Dancing Fire Flowing Flame, Vaccaria threw out a Lava Flask.
With a crisp sound, lava flew out from the flask.
If the Lava Flask hit the target directly, then the lava that exploded out would deal more damage than normal. Wang Jiexi had actually used a Lava Flask as a parry.
Lava flew up, and Stardust Extermination followed.
Clang!
Parry. Han Yanrou's Dancing Fire Flowing Flame blocked Stardust Extermination, but the lava that splashed onto Han Yanrou's body quickly dealt damage.
Sure enough, she didn't retreat.
Her attacks had indeed become more logical, more consistent, and more powerful, but what about her defense?
There were many ways to maintain an offensive nature while defending. Taking damage head-on was indeed very bold and offensive, but the choice had to be logical and had the greatest effect, not blindly pursuing a certain direction.
Taking damage head-on too much could result in her selling too much health like Liang Fang, and in the end, not being able to get it back because of her weakness!
If she could fight Yu Wenzhou one on one, she would probably realize this point more clearly, but such an opportunity would probably be hard to come by. But there was no need for that. If it was Ye Xiu, he would definitely see this point as well.
Tang Rou didn't need to practice too much on offense anymore. What she needed to practice now was her defense. Perhaps it was because of her personality that she didn't like to defend, that she didn't like to spend too much effort on it. But the problem now was that the more she improved on offense, the more imbalanced her defense would become.
No matter how strong you were, you couldn't lead the offense 100%. There would always be a time when you were forced to defend. When you had a big advantage, taking damage head-on would probably be enough, but what about when you didn't have a big advantage, or even when you were at a disadvantage? An unreasonable choice would be fatal.
Like now!
A Star Card was suddenly thrown up, at the same level as Han Yanrou's view. Tang Rou immediately had Han Yanrou move to the side to dodge, and then take a step forward to attack.
But with this step forward, she closed the distance between her and the Star Card. In the instant that the Star Card blossomed into a Star Ray, the light filled half of Tang Rou's screen.
Han Yanrou wasn't hit by the Star Ray, but the following attack hit …
Because the attack came from that half of the screen, and Tang Rou couldn't see the other half. It was all filled with the light of the Star Ray. Even though it was only for an instant, so much so that the audience had to watch it in slow motion to understand, in that instant, Vaccaria's attack arrived, hit, and continued …
She lost.
Han Yanrou fell.
Tang Rou lost again, to Wang Jiexi.
Losing to one of the top Gods of the Alliance didn't seem too strange. But Tang Rou wasn't willing to accept this. She was unwilling to lose to any opponent.
But against Wang Jiexi, she had lost more than once. To put it bluntly, she had never won.
"Hahaha, Wang Jiexi, as expected of Wang Jiexi. This move is too exquisite!" The broadcast was filled with Ruan Cheng's voice. This guy looked like he wanted nothing more than to jump on the table and do a live dance. Especially when he saw Tang Rou walk out of the competitor booth with a disappointed and regretful expression, Ruan Cheng became even more excited.
"Tang Rou still has a long way to go before she can become one of the top Gods of the Alliance! I wonder if our friends in the audience still remember her promise of a 1v3? I wonder if she still has that kind of plan! "Ruan Cheng said, beaming with joy.
"Ahem, what an exciting match." Pan Lin couldn't let this guy keep talking like this.
"Tang Rou's performance today was also pretty good, but in the end, Wang Jiexi is still more experienced and ruthless," Li Yibo said.
"Yes, Micrograss finally recovered two points in the group arena. Wang Jiexi once again didn't disappoint his teammates, the stadium, and all the Micrograss supporters in front of the TV." Pan Lin stirred up the crowd.
"Hooray!!" The Micrograss fans in the stadium even shouted these words. Their worship of Wang Jiexi had reached a certain level. Wang Jiexi didn't immediately leave the stage like Tang Rou. This was Micrograss' home game, and there was still a lot of time until the team competition. He stayed on the stage for a bit longer, waving at the audience in all directions.
Tang Rou returned to Happy's player area and smiled at her teammates who were comforting her. She sat down a bit dejectedly.
"Your attacks weren't bad." Ye Xiu turned his head and said to her.
"Not bad?" Tang Rou smiled bitterly. If it wasn't bad, then why couldn't she suppress her opponent?
"But in a match, it can't be all your attacks. Your opponent can't even throw out a single skill, right?" Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah." Tang Rou knew that Ye Xiu had something to say.
"In this match, how many times have you been blocked by Wang Jiexi's skills?" Ye Xiu said.
Tang Rou looked at the replay on the screen. Every now and then, a moment like this would happen that would make her depressed.
"You have to pay a lot of attention to how you can continue to attack. Otherwise, your attacks will always be blocked, and after a few times, you'll realize that you don't have much health left," Ye Xiu said.
Tang Rou continued to look at the replay. That moment flashed by again.
"When the next match starts, you'll be the first player," Ye Xiu said. "You'll have more opportunities to practice."
"Okay." Tang Rou nodded. She understood the logic behind Ye Xiu's arrangement. Although the No. 3 contestant had the responsibility of defending the group arena, there were times when the first two contestants performed outstandingly. By the time the No. 3 contestant arrived, there wasn't much left to do. Only the No. 1 contestant in the group arena had the most substantial opportunity in the individual arena.
Ye Xiu saw that Tang Rou didn't have any objections, so he turned around and asked Fang Rui, "Are you okay with this?"
"Of course I'm not," Fang Rui said.
Ye Xiu's face was full of helplessness. "Originally, I wanted you to practice more in the first position so that you could get used to the transition. She would focus more on defense in the third position. Even now, she still has to practice in the first position."
"Haha, this is the way that suits her!" Fang Rui laughed. "The first position can also be used to practice defense, if she still wants to 1v3."
"It's a pity that there's only one first position." Ye Xiu sighed.
