Ye Xiu, a first-generation player; Zhang Jiale, a second-generation player.
There was only a difference of one year, so they couldn't be considered seniors or juniors. Even though Ye Xiu would sometimes put on airs like this, Zhang Jiale clearly wouldn't fall for it.
The two's true meeting was in the third season of the Alliance.
That season, Team Hundred Blossoms' Blood and Blossoms, formed by Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale, swept through the entirety of Glory and took first place in the regular season. But in the end, in the finals, they met Excellent Era. The story of One Leaf Of Autumn's Evil Annihilation defeating Hundred Blossoms was still a legend.
In the end, Blood and Blossoms became nothing more than a backdrop.
Zhang Jiale obviously wasn't happy. In the fourth season, they made a comeback.
As a result, this season, they didn't even make it to the finals. In the end, Tyranny defeated Excellent Era in a classic battle. Blood and Blossoms once again became a passerby in the season.
In the fifth season, Hundred Blossoms, who had accumulated three seasons' worth of experience, once again went on the road with high spirits. But their captain, Sun Zheping, was forced to retire midway through the season due to a hand injury. Zhang Jiale took over the team armband. Amidst Hundred Blossoms' sorrows and cries of defeat, they continued to explode with power and charged all the way to the finals.
But in the end, they fell in front of Wang Jiexi, a player who had joined the Alliance in Season 3, a player whose name resounded throughout Glory as a Magician, the player who was rumored to be the closest to the God of Glory, the player who had the greatest hope of creating a dynasty like Ye Xiu.
And Wang Jiexi became Hundred Blossoms' greatest nightmare. But in the seventh season, when they once again touched the championship trophy with one hand, the one who cut off their hand was Wang Jiexi again.
Seven years in Sanya, Hundred Blossoms seemed to have been plagued by some kind of misfortune. And by the time they fell to Tiny Herb once again, Blossoms and Blood had long since become a lost song. This was a result that Zhang Jiale had achieved with his utmost effort alone.
Perhaps because he felt that it was impossible for him to do his best, after one summer, Zhang Jiale suddenly announced his retirement.
The story of the Blood and Blossoms could be said to have come to an end on this day. Although Sun Zheping had retired in the middle of the fifth season, Zhang Jiale had always been carrying the responsibilities of two people.
What kind of sadness and disappointment was this? No one could understand.
People could only sigh and lament. If Sun Zheping had not retired due to injury in the fifth season, if Sun Zheping had always been around, after the Excellent Era had passed its peak, would Blossoms and Blood have built a new Hundred Blossoms dynasty?
There are no ifs.
If these were just stabs to the person involved again and again.
Zhang Jiale had never been willing to give up. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gritted his teeth and carried the mission and responsibility of two people after Sun Zheping was injured and forced to retreat.
Unfortunately, in the end, he still fell and gave up.
Blossoms and Blood was a story of two people. It was impossible for one person to write a perfect ending.
But for him, there was still a thought in his heart, a thought that would never stop.
And so, after one season, he returned. He abandoned his old team, Hundred Blossoms, and joined Tyranny, doing something that was despised by others for hugging someone's thigh. Zhang Jiale had regretted it, but in the end, he did not regret it. He was determined to pursue it. And so, now he stood on this set, his character still Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, but the team he represented was Tyranny. And his opponent? Ye Xiu was no stranger, but his character was an unspecialized character, Lord Grim. The team he represented was the newly emerged Happy.
Things remained the same, but people had changed?
No, the people were still the same, but everything else was really a mess.
But no matter what, his pursuit of the championship would never change.
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, startling everyone. Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had just loaded into the map when he suddenly fired into the air.
Ka ka ka. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms reloaded and set off. This was Zhang Jiale's habit.
The map was still the same, and the two chose to attack from the middle. And so, it was the manor in the middle again. One in front, one behind, the two characters were in position.
Lord Grim entered through the front door. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms? But he also entered through the back door.
Although Spitfires were Gunners, they had many attacks and were known as Gunner Magicians. His fighting style was not like Sharpshooters or Launchers, which required more space. A small indoor layout was just as convenient. Some suitable enclosed spaces were even better for him!
The manor had two floors. Ye Xiu and Qin Muyun's confrontation had all happened on the second floor. The map for the group arena would not be refreshed. Right now, the second floor still retained the ruined scene from the previous battle. Negative Nine Degrees' bullets had destroyed the rooms where the two characters had fought intensely.
However, Lord Grim and Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, who had entered through the back door, were still on the first floor. Both of them were very careful. Every step their characters took was taken with great care.
Ye Xiu was familiar with the map. Looking at Lord Grim's direction, he first walked to that angle like he had against Qin Muyun. After not seeing any trace of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, there was a possibility that the other side had entered through the back door.
As for Zhang Jiale? He clearly didn't know the map as well as Ye Xiu, so he had lost the initiative. After entering through the back door, he first carefully surveyed the surrounding rooms and passageways. After turning into a certain room, he glanced around and casually walked to the passageway. With a creak, he pushed open the door.
The audience cheered.
In the passageway outside the door, Lord Grim was carefully walking over. With the door suddenly open, he couldn't be more exposed.
"Careless! He knew this was a passageway … "Pan Lin was just about to say something when he suddenly shut up.
He knew this was a passageway, so he should have been on guard against the possibility of the opponent just passing by. But he shut up because he saw that after Dazzling Hundred Blossoms pushed open the door, he didn't walk out.
Ga ga ga …
The door slowly opened and closed, making a sound.
In the passageway outside, Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already been raised, aiming at the door. Lord Grim silently stepped to the right, widening the space inside the door.
Ga ga ga …
The door continued to close. It looked like it was about to close.
He wasn't going to come out?
Just as everyone was thinking this, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms suddenly flashed out.
The door was knocked open again. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had the door behind him. His right hand was holding the automatic pistol, the Silver weapon Seeker, directly in front of him.
Zhang Jiale immediately saw Lord Grim.
Ye Xiu also immediately saw Dazzling Hundred Blossoms charging out.
Gunshots.
Sparks flew from the two guns at the same time. But in terms of normal shots, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was a rifle. After reloading, it could fire two shots. On the other hand, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was using an automatic pistol. In addition, with the Spitfire class advancement skill "Ammunition Expansion," it was just as effective against normal magazines. In this instant, the bullets that the two sides could fire were on completely different levels. Using normal attacks to exchange fire was clearly a very unwise decision.
As a result, Lord Grim's first shot was a skill.
Anti-Tank Missile!
Three artillery shells flew out in succession.
Boom boom boom!
In the narrow passageway, the two characters' guns were facing each other. In this instant, their shots collided and exploded. Billowing smoke and fire filled the passageway. The force of the explosion pushed the two characters back.
Ye Xiu didn't retreat. With a push of his mouse, Lord Grim directly slid towards the billowing smoke.
"Too daring!" Pan Lin exclaimed.
The current situation wasn't clear, but Ye Xiu's attack wasn't hard to predict. As long as Zhang Jiale was prepared for the worst and threw a few grenades into the smoke, how could Lord Grim dodge?
But when he saw the direction that Lord Grim was slid towards, he felt that something wasn't right.
This Slide Kick, was he planning on crashing into the wall?
In this moment of hesitation, Lord Grim had already slid to the wall.
Boom boom boom!
Sure enough, there were flashes of light from explosions in the smoke. Zhang Jiale had predicted this possibility. But at this moment, Lord Grim slid to the foot of the wall and suddenly jumped up. He pulled out the ninja blade from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and stabbed it into the wall. With a swing and a jump, he pulled the blade back and swung it again …
He was actually walking on the wall!
Pan Lin was dumbstruck. The entire audience was dumbstruck.
The passageway was narrow, so the explosion was enough to fill the wall. But with the wall as support, Lord Grim wouldn't be pushed back by the force of the explosion. It would only push him closer to the wall …
Lord Grim, who had taken some non-core damage, climbed up the wall. With two jumps, he charged out of the thick wall and was about to fall forward.
This should have been Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' position, but with Lord Grim's sudden attack, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms immediately dodged. There was still some distance between him and the smoke. Zhang Jiale wasn't stupid enough to leave himself some space to react. So even if Lord Grim used such a clever and unexpected method to break through, he could still dodge.
With a step, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms re-entered the room.
Gagaga. The door continued to close. It looked like Lord Grim was going to crash into the door. That would be a bit embarrassing.
In a hurry, Lord Grim swung his ninja blade again.
Bang bang bang bang bang …
After switching positions, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms immediately began to attack. But Lord Grim swung his ninja blade behind the wall, dodging the bullets, and in the end, accurately stepped on the edge of the door.
With a powerful kick, Lord Grim jumped over the door. The door quickly closed. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms hurriedly retreated. He was almost hit in the nose by the door.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut. Two characters, one inside, one outside.
The first floor of the ancient castle had to bear the weight. The walls were mostly thick. They couldn't be destroyed with just a few hits. The two were inside, one outside, so they didn't have to worry about a sneak attack coming through the wall.
Lord Grim hadn't moved yet because Ye Xiu was familiar with the map. This room had a complicated layout. If they went around, they probably wouldn't be able to intercept him, unless Zhang Jiale could obediently stay in the room for a long time without moving.
So right now, the only way to continue attacking quickly was to break through the door.
But the door was open from the outside, not from the inside. This meant that Ye Xiu couldn't rush out like Zhang Jiale. If he rushed out like that, he could use the door to cover one direction and face the other side. So his reaction wouldn't be slower than the person waiting outside the door. He might even be more prepared.
But if Ye Xiu rushed in like that, would Zhang Jiale ambush him from the left or the right?
What should he do?
The two characters inside and outside leaned against the wall, silent and motionless.
