Bang!
Drifting Cloud's Silver weapon, Flame Shadow, clashed with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, making a dull sound.
Meteor Form!
One of the fastest Level 75 skills. Even though Drifting Cloud's attack speed wasn't high, it was still as fast as lightning, but it was still blocked by Lord Grim.
"Sigh, what a pity. If Drifting Cloud wasn't using a greatsword, but a tachi or lightsaber, this attack definitely would have hit," Li Yibo immediately sighed. But unexpectedly, after this attack, even though Lord Grim used the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to block, his body still leaned back, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was actually knocked to the side.
"This … …" Li Yibo stared blankly. Even though Meteor Form was a Level 75 skill, this skill was light and agile. It focused on speed, so its attack priority wasn't very high. Even if Lord Grim didn't have any high level skills, he should still be able to block it. But right now, Lord Grim's movements didn't seem to be able to control the momentum of this attack.
Was he purposely showing an opening?
Just as this thought flashed through Li Yibo's mind, he saw Drifting Cloud already use Headwind Stab. The tip of the sword formed a circle, and with a pu la sound, blood blossomed from Lord Grim's chest.
"Beautiful!" Pan Lin was already screaming. Lu Hanwen had finally broken through Ye Xiu's fierce attacks, and even managed to counterattack in one move.
The sword rolled out, bringing with it the dull sound of the sword wind. Li Yibo saw a few moves, and suddenly realized.
"Even though Drifting Cloud's attack speed isn't fast, the greatsword gives his skills more momentum. That Meteor Form just now, if it was a tachi or a lightsaber, Lord Grim might have been able to block it, but because it was a greatsword, his skill priority wasn't high enough, so it was knocked away, "Li Yibo said.
"This is a good opportunity! I hope Lu Hanwen can make good use of it, "Pan Lin shouted.
The offensive and defensive sides instantly switched roles. However, Drifting Cloud's combo had only reached the sixth move. When he used an Upward Slash, Lord Grim jumped into the air. After eating this Upward Slash, he flew even higher. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was raised above his head. Pa pa pa pa, the umbrella opened up, and with a hum, it instantly pulled Lord Grim to the side.
Rising Dragon Slash!
Lu Hanwen hurriedly controlled Drifting Cloud to slash at the air, but it was too late. The sword light brushed past Lord Grim's body. Lu Hanwen's heart was filled with regret, but he didn't expect that the buzzing sound would suddenly stop. Lord Grim had already lifted his right leg …
Eagle Stamp!
Peng peng peng peng.
Four consecutive kicks mercilessly landed on Drifting Cloud's body. His Rising Dragon Slash's priority had long since expired. He originally wanted to use a Falling Light Blade to dodge, but it was too late. Lord Grim immediately stepped on him and sent him crashing to the ground.
Shing! Lord Grim's tachi flipped out of the umbrella's handle. Falling Light Blade! Lu Hanwen didn't have time to control Drifting Cloud, but Ye Xiu casually lit up at this moment. The tip of the sword pressed against Drifting Cloud's throat as it continued to descend.
The entire audience was dumbfounded.
This reaction time, this combo …
Lu Hanwen had broken through the situation. His counterattack had only just begun! Happy fans in the stadium didn't even have time to worry about Ye Xiu before this guy had already turned the situation around. In comparison, Blue Rain's players made the fans worry too much.
Bang …
With the Falling Light Blade pressed against Drifting Cloud, he had nowhere to run. Just like that, Lord Grim crushed him into the ground, sending a cloud of dust into the air. Lord Grim's Punisher, Earthquake Sword, followed by a series of sweeping attacks on the already fallen Drifting Cloud. Lu Hanwen was once again at a disadvantage.
"Ai, Hanwen didn't have a good grasp of the situation!" Huang Shaotian sighed. He was also a Blade Master player, so he had a say in that instant of judgment. If it had been him, he would have thought that this opportunity had been created quite well. No matter what, it wouldn't have been broken by the opponent after just six consecutive hits.
"His moves were a bit slow," Yu Wenzhou said.
"Uh … Equipment does have a bit of an effect, but a greatsword was enough to deal with that situation. Hanwen still didn't have a good grasp of the situation, and the timing wasn't right," Huang Shaotian said.
"Then it's better to say that Ye Xiu's timing was too good," Yu Wenzhou said.
Huang Shaotian stared blankly, but after thinking about it, it was true. The unspecialized Lord Grim's attack rhythm was already extremely fast, but Ye Xiu's control had been so precise. Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud was a Blade Master with a greatsword. It was already very difficult for a slow Blade Master to keep up with a fast tempo. Because the opponent was Ye Xiu, the difficulty was even greater.
"Little guy, find another opportunity! Don't give that guy a chance to be arrogant! "Huang Shaotian gritted his teeth.
Ai, what a pity!
Lu Hanwen had only hit six consecutive hits before Ye Xiu had taken back the advantage. Of course, he felt very regretful. He was positive and optimistic, but he wasn't the type to forget his scars in the blink of an eye. As a pro player, scars couldn't be forgotten so easily. Every scar was a lesson learned, something that allowed him to grow. Lu Hanwen's personality wasn't to help him forget his scars. Instead, it was to make him face his scars head-on and never run away.
If he could do that, then perhaps it would be better …
Lu Hanwen grew through these "if's" and "if's", constantly learning from his mistakes and failures. But this kind of growth couldn't be achieved overnight. It wasn't as if he could immediately avoid making a mistake the next time. After all, with Lu Hanwen's current skill level, even if he made a mistake, it wouldn't be a particularly obvious one. Sometimes, a lot of small details would happen inadvertently, and it would take a long time to correct them.
In these two years, Lu Hanwen's growth was very obvious. He had grown a lot compared to when he had first entered the Alliance, but this opponent in front of him …
Lu Hanwen took a deep breath.
When he had entered the Alliance, this God in front of him had already become a legend, but he hadn't thought that he would be able to meet him in the game. That summer, Lu Hanwen had followed Blue Rain's Blue Brook Pavilion guild to gain experience in the game. In the end, he had collected quite a few painful defeats that summer.
He was a very, very troublesome opponent, perhaps even more troublesome than Senior Shaotian.
At that time, Lu Hanwen already had that feeling. And at that time, it had only been in the game, so the two of them hadn't had much of a direct confrontation. At first, he had only heard from Lan He, who had led him in the guild, about how this person had stirred up trouble in the game and profited from it. Then, after interacting with him in the game, he had confirmed Lan He's words. Lu Hanwen clearly remembered that even he, who had represented Blue Brook Pavilion and opposed him, had become that guy's helper in the process of stealing the Boss.
Too amazing!
Lu Hanwen could only sigh with emotion. In terms of skill, he could still work hard to improve, but that kind of layout should be on the level of strategy, right? Just like their captain, Yu Wenzhou.
Lu Hanwen could see Huang Shaotian as a goal to catch up to, or even surpass, but Captain Yu Wenzhou … Forget it! How could he compare to that kind of guy? Lu Hanwen had never thought that he had that kind of brain.
In the game, Lu Hanwen had experienced Ye Xiu's skill in this area, which had already made him gasp in amazement. Then, Happy had entered the Alliance, and this legendary God had returned to the pro scene. Then, he had won thirty-seven rounds of the individual competition in a row.
How could he beat this kind of person?
No matter if it was his brain or his skill, he couldn't compare to him, right?
Compared to Ye Xiu, Lu Hanwen could only regretfully come to this conclusion. He was very brave and fearless, but it wasn't like he couldn't tell the difference between strength and weakness. It was just that when he realized that there was still a large gap between himself and Ye Xiu, he could still fight bravely.
There was still a gap!
Lu Hanwen was very clear on this point. As for whether or not this gap could be erased, Lu Hanwen didn't think too much about it. Victory and defeat couldn't be decided by a gap. Lu Hanwen had this thought in his mind, and everyone who came from Blue Rain had this thought in their mind: the gap wasn't scary, and the gap didn't necessarily decide everything!
This was because they had a captain called Yu Wenzhou, and because their captain had a fatal flaw for a pro player.
And Yu Wenzhou was using his deeds to tell Blue Rain's members, as well as the students in Blue Rain's training camp, that the gap wasn't scary. What was scary was giving up because of the gap.
"If even I haven't given up, what reason do you have?"
Lu Hanwen still remembered what Yu Wenzhou had said to the students in the training camp. Even though he was very young, he could still understand this simple truth. And Yu Wenzhou's deeds of walking out of Blue Rain's training camp were a fresh inspiration for them all.
In the training camp, they wouldn't give up on their dreams. On the field, they wouldn't give up on victory.
They could see the gap, but they wouldn't be afraid of it.
Let's continue like this!
Facing the gap, Lu Hanwen's mind was firm. Whether he would win or lose, he wouldn't think too much about the result. He only knew that he had to do everything he could.
These sacrifices weren't meaningless, because this was the group arena, and this was also a team event. The life he took from Lord Grim, and the mana he used from Lord Grim, would be reaped by his teammates. This would pave the way for their victory.
So, let's fight to our heart's content!
"Lu Hanwen is really good. Even though he's being completely suppressed by Ye Xiu, he didn't back down at all, nor did he feel discouraged," Li Yibo praised.
"He will definitely have a bright future." Pan Lin was also very moved as he spoke.
Although the two of them were full of praise, since they were talking about the future, it was clear that the two of them weren't optimistic about Lu Hanwen's chances.
44%！
This was Lord Grim's remaining health when Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud fell. Blue Rain's two players had already gone on stage, but they had only taken out a little more than half of Ye Xiu's health.
"Happy, you're already leading by two points," Pan Lin announced the current score.
"1v2, and it's in the playoffs … Ye Xiu really deserves to be this season's King of Duels. Just based on this kind of performance, those who doubted that he won consecutively in the regular season because he didn't meet strong opponents should shut up. Ye Xiu has the ability to use less mana to obtain victory, but there's no need for that in the individual competition, "Li Yibo said.
"But it seems a little difficult for him to 1v3 this time. Lord Grim's mana consumption is much greater than his health," Pan Lin said.
"He still has 11% left," Li Yibo said after checking.
"Uh … he can't be carrying mana this time, right?" Pan Lin still remembered what had happened in last year's Challenger League. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
