Lin Jingyan fought valiantly and fell valiantly.
He had foreseen this result. After chasing after geniuses for so many years, he knew that these geniuses weren't like the lazy rabbits in the tortoise and the hare race. They wouldn't give up any openings for others to surpass them.
"Can't you let me win this time?" Lin Jingyan said helplessly, half-jokingly.
"You've won before, right?" Ye Xiu replied, "Season 4, Round 21."
Lin Jingyan stared blankly. After a while, he resentfully said, "I even lost to you in terms of memory."
The first round of the group arena ended in 1 minute and 48 seconds. This was an extremely efficient battle between two incomparably experienced players. In the end, Ye Xiu won by a large margin. Lord Grim still had 63% of his health left.
Lin Jingyan left the stage. The crowd wasn't stingy with their applause.
Losing was one thing, but they liked Lin Jingyan's attitude. Even though he wasn't very smart, Tyranny's fans liked this kind of hot-blooded and heroic appearance of a man waving his fists.
"Good luck!!" There wasn't a single trace of dejection in the crowd. Tyranny's fans seemed even more excited than Happy's fans. At this moment, Tyranny's second player appeared on the big screen. Zhang Jiale, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, another veteran of Tyranny's.
Amidst the applause, Zhang Jiale went on stage and met Lin Jingyan halfway.
"Not bad," Zhang Jiale said.
"I'll leave it to you," Lin Jingyan said.
"Watch me take him down," Zhang Jiale said. The two bumped fists. Zhang Jiale walked onto the stage.
Soon, the second round began.
"Die!!"
The instant the match loaded, Zhang Jiale sent a message in the chat. Then, Hundred Blossoms bloomed. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms seemed to self-destruct. With him as the center, a ball of light spread across the stage.
Strong attacks, strong attacks again.
Just like Lin Jingyan, he directly attacked without the slightest bit of advantage. Hundreds of flower waves swept past, and in such a small arena, there was almost no place to stand. Zhang Jiale's fighting style could no longer be considered the fighting style of the Challenge Tournament. There was no such disregard for consumption in the arena, because your opponent was not the only one in front of you. If he only cared about the victory in front of him and lost the arena in the end, then this victory would be meaningless.
"Tyranny … Is he giving up on the rhythm of the arena?" Pan Lin could not help but blurt out.
Li Yibo furrowed his brows and remained silent.
Consumption. He had more or less sensed this intention, but he was not sure, so he did not dare to say it directly in the broadcast. But looking at it now, if the intention was to wear down his opponent, wasn't the price too high? Spitfires were a class that consumed a lot of mana. If Zhang Jiale continued to use the Hundred Blossoms style without regard for anything else, even if he defeated Ye Xiu here, how much mana would his Dazzling Hundred Blossoms have left to deal with Happy's next opponent?
Amidst the waves of flowers, Lord Grim's figure became blurry. For Ye Xiu, this was also a difficult problem.
He had obviously sensed Tyranny's intention to wear down his opponent, but with this map, with just these few opponents, the other side was not afraid of Ye Xiu noticing. Because of the formation they had set up, even if Ye Xiu noticed, he would not be able to avoid it. Unless Ye Xiu directly gave up on victory and let Lord Grim stand there and let them attack, of course, that would save him a lot of effort. Otherwise, with this Little Tu in the arena, his opponent was an old general whose experience did not lose out to him. There was simply no way for him to contend.
Last round, it was like this. This round, it was like this again.
Team Tyranny did not hide their intentions at all. They were just that bold. If you didn't use your full strength, you would be instantly killed. If you used your full strength, you would have to put in a lot of effort. Admittedly, Tyranny's side also had veterans, but they were taking turns to fight Ye Xiu.
On the sidelines, in Happy's player area, after hearing Fang Rui and Wei Chen's analysis, Chen Guo suddenly became anxious. But after thinking about it, she suddenly had an idea.
"No matter what, Ye Xiu has already defeated Lin Jingyan, so we're not at a loss! He just needs to casually fight this round and wear down his opponent a little, and we'll still be in the lead! "Chen Guo said.
"So it's like that! Boss, you've got a good plan, "Fang Rui said.
"That's true." Chen Guo was slightly pleased, but in just a second, she realized that Fang Rui was just casually replying. The surrounding audience didn't take her "good plan" seriously at all, right?
"Is there something wrong?" Chen Guo, who was often attacked by Ye Xiu, now had a very high level of self-awareness.
No one immediately answered. Everyone was watching the situation in the arena.
Ye Xiu did not back down. Just like in the previous round against Lin Jingyan, he once again boldly charged forward.
Everyone's expression was solemn as they watched the match. Chen Guo did not ask where the flaw in her "good plan" was. She believed that Ye Xiu would not have thought of such a plan, but he did not do so. That meant that there was probably something wrong with her plan.
The battle was just as intense as the previous round. The two sides understood each other. In this fast-paced and intense battle, they did not forget to be cautious.
The battlefield was a complete mess. If it was said that in the previous round, everyone could still see the skills clearly, but in this round, under Zhang Jiale's full-powered Hundred Flowers of Light, there was not much left that could be seen clearly.
The only thing that could be seen clearly was the health bars of the two characters. Soon, the health bars of the two characters dropped rapidly. But what was different was that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim continued to lose health. He clearly had never completely escaped the encirclement of the Hundred Blossoms style. As for Dazzling Hundred Blossoms? It was intermittent, but every time he lost health, it would be by a large margin.
Bite to death!
Happy's players and Happy's fans were all desperately looking forward to it.
If Lord Grim could completely close in, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' fierce offensive could be cut off. Then, in close combat, Spitfires would be at a disadvantage. In the regular season, Zhang Jiale had been beaten like this.
But this time, it clearly would not be so easy.
Zhang Jiale, going all-out, had gambled everything he had!
"Too crazy." Huang Shaotian, who was watching the battle, felt somewhat frightened.
"With this strategy, let alone the next player, if Lord Grim's health was higher than 70%, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms might not have enough mana," Yu Wenzhou replied.
Zhang Jiale had already let go of everything. What he was staring at wasn't even a complete Lord Grim, but a Lord Grim with only 63% of his health left. All of his energy, awareness, and attacks were focused on this 63%.
Only by doing this could he give Ye Xiu the greatest pressure. Only by doing this could Ye Xiu not dare to relax at all.
This round could no longer be defined simply by victory or defeat. Tyranny's intention to wear him down had been realized in such a tyrannical manner. As for Ye Xiu? He couldn't avoid being worn down, so in the process of being worn down, he was undoubtedly doing his best to give Happy the most advantageous situation.
The result couldn't be determined by this round alone. It had to be determined by the group arena, and even today's series.
1 minute 24 seconds!
Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale's round ended even faster than his round with Lin Jingyan. In the end, the first to fall was Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, but Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was basically a cripple, with 9% of his health and 2% of his mana left.
Ye Xiu wasn't able to achieve a 1v2, but he was close. When he left the player area as the loser, Happy's fans immediately gave him a round of applause.
This was Tyranny's home stadium. They knew of Tyranny's enmity towards Ye Xiu, and they couldn't suppress Tyranny's fans. As a result, they could only fight for a moment to let Ye Xiu feel everyone's encouragement.
Unexpectedly, Tyranny's fans didn't immediately boo the loser Ye Xiu.
"That annoying guy can sometimes be decent!" Tyranny's fans were discussing spiritedly. Ye Xiu's demeanor in the face of such a strong attack was exactly what they, Tyranny's fans, liked. As a result, even if they were mortal enemies for many years, they still hesitated.
"Seeing that his performance today was okay, why don't we boo a little less?" someone suggested.
As a result, the boos still rang out, softly echoing in Tyranny's stadium.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiu wasn't used to it. As he walked off the stage, he looked around. Tyranny's fans were watching him and booing him softly.
"Now you're scared!" Ye Xiu said to the spectators closer to him.
"Fuck!" The spectators closer heard him and booed loudly. The reason was quickly spread throughout the stadium.
"F * ck, he's actually so proud!" The leader of Tyranny's fans, as well as their in-game guild leader, Jiang You, immediately had the urge to flip a table.
"Boo him! Boo him as hard as you can! "Jiang You roared.
Boos rang out loudly again, mixed with curses such as "Kill him".
Ye Xiu was as calm as ever. The next player to come out from Happy's player bench didn't seem to be affected by the constant boos from Tyranny's fans.
Happy's second player was Mo Fan. He was now Happy's most important chess piece in the group arena.
"Good luck," Ye Xiu said as he passed by.
Mo Fan didn't stop. He nodded and walked over.
Ye Xiu returned to the player area, under everyone's gaze.
"I almost 1v2," Ye Xiu smiled.
Chen Guo immediately saw the fatigue behind Ye Xiu's smile. It was a fatigue that couldn't be hidden.
Chen Guo had seen this look before in the regular season, in the 1v1 against Wind Howl and Tang Hao.
And today, Ye Xiu had faced two players in a row, and they were veterans like Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale. Since they had a goal in mind, they naturally knew the best way to exhaust Ye Xiu. In addition, Ye Xiu couldn't avoid the exhaustion.
After the two rounds of the group arena, Ye Xiu left the stage. Tyranny left the stage, leaving behind a crippled Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. However, Chen Guo had a bad feeling.
