Ghostblade, one of the four Swordsman classes. They were Swordsmen who could control the power of ghosts. Ghostblades were split into two schools of thought based on their skill combinations.
One was the Ghostblade class that strengthened their offensive skills and gave up on ghost boundaries to maximize their damage. They were commonly known as Sword Demons.
The other was the Ghostblade class that specialized in all kinds of ghost boundaries. They released powerful boundaries to strengthen themselves and their allies. They were known as Phantom Demons.
The reason why there were these branches was because skill points were limited. No matter what, it was impossible to max out all of your skills, so you had to make a choice. Ghostblades were considered rather extreme. After making a choice, they formed two completely different schools of thought. Of course, there were also people who took the middle ground and added points to both skills. This sort of neutral addition was very common among normal players. However, in the pro circle, pro players all pursued the maximum effect. Pro Ghostblades were either Sword Demons or Phantom Demons. There were very few who wanted to play both.
Of the two schools of thought, Sword Demons were more simple. They had both offense and defense and could stand on their own. It was a more balanced choice. Phantom Demons, on the other hand, had their own strengths and weaknesses. Large amounts of high-level ghost boundaries could greatly increase a Ghostblade's battle strength. However, the limitations of the ghost boundaries meant that Phantom Demons were basically trash outside of the boundary.
This weakness wasn't too obvious when fighting against NPCs, but it was quite awkward in the Arena. The opponent could choose not to enter the boundary and wait for the ghost boundaries to disappear. Long-ranged classes could even attack outside of the ghost boundaries. In a 1v1, Phantom Demons clearly needed more skill and tactical awareness. Many normal players even believed that Phantom Demons were useless in a 1v1.
Up until now, Sword Demons were the mainstream of Ghostblades. Most players would choose Sword Demons. Phantom Demons, on the other hand, were limited by the boundary, so they were less and less popular among players. However, in some elite teams, there was a place for Phantom Demons. It was just that the effects of two Phantom Demons' ghost boundaries couldn't stack, so one or two was usually enough.
Even the champion team's Micrograss Boundary had a Phantom Demon. Zhou Yebai's Ghostblade account, Gentleman Creeper, was a Phantom Demon. It had appeared in official matches before and provided the team with a few tactical choices.
"A Phantom Demon … …" Qiao Yifan muttered to himself. Perhaps it was because no one had specifically taught him anything, but when he suddenly heard this, Qiao Yifan immediately accepted it. What's more, the one who had taught him was Ye Qiu, Glory's Textbook. Even their captain Wang Jiexi wasn't as experienced as him.
"That's right. You have a good view of the big picture and a strong sense of teamwork. You're very suited for a Phantom Demon!" Ye Xiu said.
"But … but …" Qiao Yifan stuttered but didn't say anything. There were so many things he wanted to say that he didn't know where to start.
Changing jobs? An invisible person like him didn't have the qualifications. Even if they switched to a Phantom Demon, their team already had Zhou Yebai. How could they give the role of a Phantom Demon to him?
Reforge for him? That was even more impossible. Even the professional Assassin account he had was being ignored by the Club, let alone create a new Phantom Demon for him.
More importantly, his current situation in the Club was becoming more and more awkward. After this season, his contract would expire. With his current dispensable existence in the Club, even he didn't believe that the Club would renew his contract. Ever since he had entered the pro scene, he had always been a nobody. The only halo he had was the title of "Champion Team Member". Perhaps a small Club would be interested in him based on this. But if he switched to a new class right now, he would only have half a year. Would he be able to perform well in the trial?
If he didn't have a contract, there was no point in switching to a more suitable class!
"Sigh … …" In the end, Qiao Yifan could only sigh. At this moment, the two didn't make a move. The spectating players couldn't hear their voices, so they didn't know what they were doing. No one was polite to Qiao Yifan. Suddenly, the chat was filled with messages urging him to start.
Qiao Yifan didn't dare be negligent, but seeing that Lord Grim didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, he could only helplessly greet him: "Senior, I'm going to start." After speaking, he immediately began to attack.
Ye Xiu naturally had no problem dealing with Qiao Yifan. It didn't take long for him to defeat him. Sure enough, in terms of time, Qiao Yifan lost the fastest, just like how he had been the slowest to win against Tang Rou.
"Show some courage!"
When Qiao Yifan left the stage, he heard Ye Xiu say this to him.
Courage?
Qiao Yifan silently sat in front of the computer, watching as the next team member rushed up to fight Lord Grim. The two sides were on the verge of breaking out. There was no need for any pleasantries. The team members around him were all in twos and threes, watching the battle while discussing it. Qiao Yifan looked to his side. Gao Yingjie wasn't in his seat. He looked to the other side. Gao Yingjie had been called over by the captain, who seemed to be saying something to him.
"How nice … … I often get pointers from a god-level character like the captain … …" Qiao Yifan silently thought. Suddenly, he felt a lump in his throat. He and Gao Yingjie had entered the team at the same time. They were about the same age. One had received the care and concern of his seniors, while the other could only carry bags and water behind his seniors.
"A Phantom Demon … …" Qiao Yifan couldn't help but think of the god-level pointers in the game, as well as the encouragement he had given before quitting.
Perhaps he really did need a bit more courage!
But … … courage wasn't something that just came out of nowhere. After thinking about it, Qiao Yifan was still afraid.
He might as well give it a try! In the end, he decided on this idea. He wouldn't completely abandon the Assassin in his hands, but from now on, if he were to come into contact with a Phantom Demon, perhaps it really would be different?
Just this thought immediately made Qiao Yifan very excited.
"Yifan, what are you laughing at?" At this moment, Gao Yingjie had returned to his seat. As soon as he arrived, he saw his good friends laughing foolishly. Their gazes were unfocused, as if they weren't watching the match.
"Oh, it's nothing." Qiao Yifan hastily stopped smiling.
That night, Team Micrograss's record hadn't changed much. They had all lost. However, this time, their captain, Wang Jiexi, hadn't made a move. However, after the tie between the two of them yesterday, no one suspected that their captain was afraid of losing or something else. In short, their captain would always do something unexpected, just like this time when he suddenly pulled everyone into the game for group training. Team Micrograss's members were already used to their captain's thoughts. They only listened to his orders and didn't guess.
"How was today?" Happy Internet Cafe. Ye Xiu, who had finished the night's round robin battle, went to greet Tang Rou. The two's situations were completely opposite. One had won everything, while the other had lost everything. They were a pair of opposites.
"A bit better than yesterday." Tang Rou said.
"Amazing." Ye Xiu praised.
"But … … today, their team's Fiery Blaze invited me to do some sort of training!" Tang Rou said.
"Really?" Ye Xiu didn't seem surprised: "His eyesight isn't bad. You really do have a lot of potential. Did you agree?"
"No, I've never thought of becoming a pro player." Tang Rou said.
"Don't tell the boss's wife. She'll strangle you." Ye Xiu said.
Tang Rou thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "You're right."
"Haha, we'll continue the dungeon tonight?"
"Of course."
"See you at 12."
"Okay."
The two finished speaking and went to their respective positions. Ye Xiu was already preparing to change shifts at the front desk. Tang Rou returned to her original position to continue.
After 11 o 'clock, the Internet Cafe's atmosphere changed. After the hustle and bustle of the evening rush hour, it was much quieter.
"Is the Pro League really that fun?"
Ye Xiu sat at the front desk and logged into Lord Grim. Then, he suddenly received a message from Han Yanrou.
"Is Glory fun?" Ye Xiu replied.
"It's pretty fun." Tang Rou said.
"Then the Pro League is just like that." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh … …"
"But, with your personality, you really are suited to be a pro player. You like challenges, don't you?" Ye Xiu said.
"Then what about you? Why don't you play in the Pro League? "Tang Rou asked.
"I've already played. I'm tired right now, so I'm resting." Ye Xiu said.
"Liar." Tang Rou wasn't stupid. How could he "rest" by running to the Internet Cafe and working all night as an employee?
"In any case, I'll go back." Ye Xiu said.
"When?" Tang Rou asked.
"That's hard to say … …" Ye Xiu replied.
Tang Rou didn't say anything else. The two silently played their own games. At 12 o 'clock, the dungeon entries refreshed. Everything was the same as before.
The following day was the same. However, Micrograss lost even more miserably to Ye Xiu. They couldn't improve so much in just a few days, but after Ye Xiu earned two days' worth of materials, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella leveled up once again, reaching Level 25. This time, it was clearly much more efficient than setting dungeon records. What was even better was that it could be repeated. Dungeon records couldn't be broken a second time.
Plantago Seed was still busily collecting the materials on the list, but in the end, a new list had already been provided. Plantain Seed looked at it and coughed up blood. The materials on the list were mainly Level 30-35 items. Currently, the elite teams of the Three Great Guilds were only in their early thirties. They had just started to challenge the dungeons and leveling areas in this area. Where would they get so many materials?
At this rate, let alone Herb Garden, even if all of the tenth server's guilds were gathered together, it still wouldn't be enough. The majority of the players were still Level 25. Lord Grim's Level 28 characters were only a bit weaker than the elite accounts of the top guilds. Compared to normal players, Ye Xiu and Tang Rou, who only slept and ate, couldn't fall behind. They were already the craziest existences below the solo accounts.
Without materials, Wang Jiexi's side didn't panic. They were pro players. Winning or losing was their job. If they lost, they couldn't just play blindly. They had to analyze the reason from a technical point of view.
As a result, in the following days with no materials to lose, Micrograss's night training turned into analyzing the battle recordings that they had accumulated over the past few days.
Ye Xiu naturally didn't pay attention to this. If no one came to look for him, he would continue leveling. After a few days, they finally reached Level 30. During this time, Glory's Round 22 began as scheduled. Team Excellent Era finally welcomed their long-awaited comeback. With a score of 9 to 1, they beautifully completed this round.
In comparison, Team Tiny Herb's performance this round wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. Facing a mid-tier team in the Alliance, they only managed to get three points.
