Happy was facing off against Tyranny in their home game. The first round of the group arena, Ye Xiu versus Qin Muyun. The match had already entered the map loading stage, but the stadium hadn't quieted down yet. But what everyone cared about wasn't the match itself. Happy's fans were booing Han Wenqing, who hadn't gone up. Tyranny's fans, on the other hand, couldn't raise their heads because of this. They even forgot that even though Han Wenqing hadn't gone up, they still had another player fighting. Poor Qin Muyun. Invisible. Invisible. Invisible. Invisible. Invisible. Invisible.
Until the match officially began.
When Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees appeared on the projection screen, on the stadium's big screen, on the countless Glory players' TV and computer screens, they realized: Han Wenqing hadn't gone up, but Tyranny was still fighting.
"Good luck!"
The stadium suddenly erupted with cheers, coming from the away game seats, Team Tyranny's fans.
The momentum instantly rose, giving Happy's fans a fright.
Facing off against Tyranny's fans was something Excellent Era's fans were good at. Even though Happy's fans had transitioned from Excellent Era's fans, they weren't in the majority. When faced against Happy's fans and Tyranny's fans, they were still at a disadvantage. The regular season had already proven this point.
But now, it was the playoffs, a life and death battle. As a new team, Happy's fans were creating miracles. Thinking of this, Happy's fans' blood began to boil.
This was their home game. How could they be suppressed by Tyranny's momentum?
An intense confrontation broke out among the audience.
On the field, the two players' characters were moving forward neither quickly nor slowly.
Happy's home game map: Thatcher's Manor. It was also a scene taken from the vast map of the Heavenly Domain. There were many elements in the map, and the content was rich. There was a lake to the west, a small forest to the east, and a two-story manor with an underground structure in the middle. In addition, there were also mills, stables, gardens, and other small buildings scattered throughout the manor.
Both characters spawned at the north and south ends of the map. Both characters chose to move in a straight line and quickly approached the center. However, because the center of the map was the ancient manor, neither side could see the other.
Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees came from the north and reached the back of the ancient castle. It seemed like he wasn't completely unfamiliar with this map. After reaching the back of the ancient castle, he controlled Negative Nine Degrees to rush to a certain corner of the wall. Then, using the windowsill and the corner of the pillar, he jumped up. Not long after, Negative Nine Degrees jumped to the top of the ancient castle and opened up his field of vision.
However, Qin Muyun immediately had Negative Nine Degrees crouch down. After finding a suitable position, he cautiously looked out.
In his field of vision, there was no one in the south.
In terms of movement speed, as long as Lord Grim was rushing over from the middle lane, he should have arrived by now.
However, there was none.
Left wing? Right? Or …
Qin Muyun subconsciously looked down.
The ancient manor wasn't just for decoration. It could be entered. If Lord Grim had chosen to take the middle lane like him, then when he jumped to the top of the castle, he could have openly walked into the inner part of the ancient manor.
There was a back door at the back of the ancient manor. Qin Muyun didn't choose to enter. He was a Sharpshooter. An open area was more conducive to his performance. Facing an opponent in a room wasn't a good idea for a Sharpshooter.
Perhaps it was because of this that Ye Xiu chose to enter?
Qin Muyun thought as he controlled Negative Nine Degrees to make his next move.
Boom!
He faintly heard an explosion. It seemed to be far, but it also seemed to be close. Soon after, the sound of the explosion rang out beside Negative Nine Degrees. To be more precise, it came from below him.
Hua!
Negative Nine Degrees was lying on the top of the castle, but Lord Grim had actually fired a shot from the inside, blasting a hole in the top of the castle and letting Negative Nine Degrees down.
Qin Muyun reacted quickly. As soon as the explosion occurred, a shockwave rose up. He immediately had his character jump to the side and throw a grenade down.
Inside the ancient manor, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was admiring his masterpiece with his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, when he saw a grenade slide down from the black smoke.
Bang, boom!
Ye Xiu casually blew up the grenade. This sort of skill would make normal players excited for a long time, but in Ye Xiu's hands, it was so casual.
The grenade wasn't a threat, but it made Ye Xiu feel apprehensive. He could have Lord Grim use Rotor Wing to chase after him through the hole, but he had to consider the possibility that Qin Muyun was waiting to ambush him.
As a result, Lord Grim rushed to the window and jumped up. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shattered the window and he jumped out.
Second floor, but Lord Grim didn't fall. The instant he jumped out, he pulled out the ninja blade from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and stabbed it into the wall. Swinging, landing, jumping again, throwing out the ninja blade … …
Ye Xiu was also very familiar with the rock climbing technique of a Ninja using a ninja blade. Lord Grim's movements after jumping out of the window were so smooth that it was hard to even blink.
Lord Grim climbed up the wall with a clear direction. After a few jumps, he had already reached the top of the fort. Once he landed, he immediately rolled and found a place to hide. The entire process didn't make a single sound.
Then, he quietly poked his head out and looked in that direction.
No!
Negative Nine Degrees wasn't there. Qin Muyun didn't choose to ambush him through that hole.
Ye Xiu didn't waste any time because of this unexpected situation. Lord Grim's view quickly changed and he quickly scanned a few spots on the roof.
From the moment Lord Grim opened up the roof to the moment he jumped out of the window, the entire process took less than five seconds.
Five seconds. Qin Muyun could have controlled Negative Nine Degrees to move. Ye Xiu had already seen everything in that one turn of his view.
Apart from this, there were only two possibilities.
One, he directly jumped down from the back of the castle. But Ye Xiu had also controlled Lord Grim to climb up from this side, so he didn't see it, so it didn't make sense.
Then there was only the second possibility: Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees jumped down from that hole.
Calm and collected, extremely good at picking the right spot. This was Ye Xiu's impression of this fifth player who fought alongside Tyranny's Four Heavenly Kings.
Extremely good at positioning?
Ye Xiu suddenly realized something. For no reason, Lord Grim suddenly rolled to the side.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound.
Unlike before, when Lord Grim blew up the roof with a single shot, this time, the bullet pierced through a small hole and flew straight into the clouds.
"Wow!!"
Following this shot, there were waves of exclamations from the audience.
The audience had a God's perspective. Everything was under their gaze. Lord Grim jumped out of the window and climbed to the roof. Negative Nine Degrees fell through the hole. Then, just like how Ye Xiu accurately found Negative Nine Degrees' position, Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees actually aimed at Lord Grim's position.
How did he do it?
"An accurate deduction." When Ye Xiu found Negative Nine Degrees' position, Li Yibo had made a summary. At that time, after Lord Grim entered the ancient castle, Ye Xiu immediately had him go to a certain location. From this location, he had coincidentally seen Negative Nine Degrees jump up from the back of the castle and flash past the window.
This was naturally not a coincidence. This was an observation point that Ye Xiu found when he knew that he could jump from the back of the castle. Then, after jumping up from that side, what good observation point would there be on the top of the castle?
The position that Ye Xiu knew was the position that Qin Muyun had found. Hence, his sneak attack succeeded.
Vice versa. Qin Muyun had predicted Ye Xiu's next move. Hence, his Negative Nine Degrees entered the castle. Then, if Ye Xiu wanted to ambush Negative Nine Degrees, where was the best position to do so? Hence, his sneak attack also succeeded.
A high-level duel, high-level deduction. If it weren't for the fact that both of them had such high-end positioning skills and didn't choose the best position, their deduction would have been wrong.
This was something that Li Yibo had lamented before.
And this time, Qin Muyun's sneak attack didn't need him to explain it again. Everyone was able to deduce three things from one example. But what surprised everyone was that Qin Muyun's sneak attack actually didn't succeed. A powerful snipe attack actually missed just like that. Lord Grim's sudden roll with no warning was really too amazing.
"How did he find out?" Pan Lin asked Li Yibo again, not knowing how to answer.
"This is probably Ye Xiu's next deduction …" Li Yibo said reluctantly. But he didn't know that he was right this time. For Ye Xiu to be able to dodge like this, it was indeed a deduction. He just happened to be in time to avoid the shot. His quick reflexes played a part, but luck was also very important.
Two shots, two positional swaps, smooth maneuvering, deep thinking, high level of competition. From this, it was already vividly displayed.
"Looks like this will be an exciting game of hide-and-seek." Just as Li Yibo came to a conclusion, whoosh!
The roof opened up again.
Collapsing Mountain!
Lord Grim, who had rolled to avoid the shot, didn't stop at all. When the bullet pierced through, he immediately jumped up. Collapsing Mountain! A Collapsing Mountain Strike was sent flying towards the ground.
Happy must have done a precise test of the roof's durability. When the Collapsing Mountain landed, it immediately broke through the roof. Lord Grim descended with his sword.
In the air, on the ground.
Lord Grim and Negative Nine Degrees looked at each other.
Hide-and-seek? Before Li Yibo could finish his sentence, the two characters were already facing each other. He had spoken too smoothly, to the point that he didn't have time to swallow the second half of his sentence.
Bang bang bang bang!
Qin Muyun didn't panic. Negative Nine Degrees raised his gun and faced the bullets, moving as he did so.
Hua!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella opened up, blocking the bullets. The instant the Collapsing Mountain broke through the roof, Lord Grim was actually jumping down freely. If he had been hit by the bullets, he would have been sent flying by the Delivery Gun Technique.
And with the shield's protection, everything became much easier. Sword light once again shot out from the umbrella. Falling Light Blade!
Lord Grim changed directions in midair, retracting the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. But … as for Negative Nine Degrees? He had already disappeared.
