After Fang Rui and Han Wenqing's match, the pace of today's group arena slowed down for the second time.
This wasn't the pace that Tang Rou wanted. In this situation, it wasn't hard to tell who had the advantage.
Song Qiying.
He was also a rookie, but he had started playing Glory much earlier than Tang Rou. Like Qin Muyun, he had come from the same training camp and had a solid foundation.
He controlled the pace very steadily. Tang Rou, who was good at disrupting the pace of the match, had no way of disrupting this 1v1. The spectating pro players were all discussing the match. This was a battle between spear and shield. And now, the sturdy and impenetrable shield had blocked the sharp spear.
If the sturdy shield couldn't be broken, then the spear would bounce back. As a result, in this direct confrontation between offense and defense, the end result was actually a trade. Song Qiying's style of trade was to use precise defense to achieve this exchange. Compared to Team Blue Rain's explosive defense, Song Qiying's defense was more pure.
Such a player had actually been trained by Tyranny. Countless people were clicking their tongues in amazement.
Tang Rou obviously wasn't in the mood for this. She was very depressed. The feeling of her pace being suppressed made her feel very depressed. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of a way, but no matter how she changed her pace, the other side would quickly notice, catch up, and slow her down.
It looked like Han Yanrou was the main attacker, while River Sunset was the main defender, but Tang Rou didn't feel like she was attacking. She just felt like she was running into a wall. She ran into it again and again, then bounced back. Then, Han Yanrou's health dropped by 30%. As for her opponent? Her opponent had only lost 15% of his health. It was a 1: 2 ratio, as if it had been precisely calculated.
Then, when her opponent's health dropped by another 10%, would she fall for good?
Tang Rou was unwilling to give up. She would never be able to accept the fact that she couldn't obtain victory.
Han Yanrou's attacks suddenly stopped and she retreated a few steps.
"Oh …" Many people let out a very understanding sigh.
"You should've stopped a long time ago. You can't just blindly continue like that," commentator Pan Lin said.
"It looks like she's been attacking the entire time, but in reality, she's been led around by the nose by Song Qiying. It's time for her to stop and look for openings," Li Yibo said. He was now back to being a fair and impartial commentator, seriously giving advice to Tang Rou who was in a disadvantageous situation.
"But what if you can't find an opening?" Pan Lin asked.
"Then … of course it's a match that you should lose," Li Yibo said.
That's right, if one couldn't find the opponent's openings and couldn't defeat the opponent, then of course one could only be defeated. This logic was very simple.
What would Tang Rou do?
This was a player who had always left a strong impression on everyone. What kind of adjustments would she make in front of this barrier that she couldn't break through?
Han Yanrou had stopped attacking for five seconds. Song Qiying's River Sunset didn't impatiently launch a counterattack, but he still pressed forward step by step. He obviously wasn't someone who only knew how to defend and not attack. It was just that his offense was just as careful as his defense.
"Uh, is she planning on giving Song Qiying the initiative to attack and then looking for openings in the opponent's offense?" Li Yibo saw the situation, "In a situation where you can't break through the opponent's defense, this is a good idea. But … with Song Qiying's playstyle, even if he attacks, it'll be very difficult for Tang Rou to find an opening, let alone … "
Before Li Yibo could finish speaking, a character rushed out.
Han Yanrou.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
After five or six seconds, it was still Tang Rou who attacked first. Give the initiative to attack to Song Qiying? Li Yibo didn't even get to finish speaking before he was forced to shut up.
The distance was very close, so Dragon Breaks the Ranks wasn't easy to dodge. However, Song Qiying's cautious nature allowed him to always be prepared to dodge.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks?
The instant Han Yanrou raised her Dancing Fire Flowing Flame, River Sunset had already rolled to the side.
Magic and battle energy collided violently with the air, creating an explosive sound. Dragon Breaks the Ranks rushed out, but River Sunset had already moved to the side. Who would have thought that Han Yanrou's Dancing Fire Flowing Flame would suddenly change direction, moving in the direction River Sunset had moved to.
If you didn't have good eyesight, you probably wouldn't have been able to notice this slight change.
Song Qiying noticed it. Just like Zhang Xinjie, he always carefully observed his opponent, trying not to miss any details. He could even tell that this slight change in direction had occurred after his River Sunset had dodged the attack.
In other words, Tang Rou hadn't predicted his actions. She had just reacted accordingly.
It was only a slight change in direction, but at such a close distance, with the speed of Dragon Breaks the Ranks, to be able to make this slight change in direction was already very shocking.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks wasn't a single point attack. The surging magic and battle energy collided, creating friction in the air.
The direction of the attack had changed, but fortunately, it had still been dodged.
Song Qiying's judgment was very clear. With this slight change in direction, Dragon Breaks the Ranks wouldn't be able to hit him. However, if he had been a bit further away, the angle would have been a bit larger, and the result would have been hard to predict.
Song Qiying was still thinking about this, when he saw a flash of red light. Dancing Fire Flowing Flame had already appeared in front of him.
How!
He was shocked, but at the same time, he subconsciously controlled River Sunset to dodge the attack.
It missed, and then … there was no effect.
This was no longer Dragon Breaks the Ranks. Dragon Breaks the Ranks was an attack that covered everything. It was just that he couldn't dodge it. Song Qiying watched as the red light retracted. Han Yanrou's momentum hadn't disappeared, but this attack was no longer Dragon Breaks the Ranks.
Before, River Sunset and Han Yanrou had been about four and a half steps apart.
At that distance, Dragon Breaks the Ranks had been launched, then changed direction, then canceled, and then followed up with another attack to make up for the change in direction.
Even though it hadn't hit in the end, Song Qiying was already sweating. What was even more frightening was that the attack hadn't stopped. The red light that had been retracted quickly reappeared. Whoosh whoosh! Two consecutive attacks. Double Stab!
River Sunset didn't dodge, because Song Qiying knew that blindly dodging would only make him lose his rhythm and put him on the defensive.
Five or six seconds of pause? Was it to give up the initiative to attack? Anyone who thought that was completely wrong. The five or six seconds of rest seemed to be just a break in the middle of the battle. What came after was an even more powerful and storm-like attack. From the very beginning, there was no probing, no holding back. She was completely focused on attacking. More importantly, as soon as the opponent changed, she would immediately change. This was pushing the tempo to the limit, and she was desperately chasing after the opponent.
It was a great threat, not only to the enemy, but also to herself. It was difficult to maintain such a fast tempo. It was easy to make mistakes, and after one mistake, there was no chance of recovery.
Pu pu!
Two streaks of blood blossomed from River Sunset's body. Song Qiying didn't dodge this skill, taking the damage head-on. River Sunset rushed forward and threw a punch. He had to react with some sort of attack to control the pace of the match.
He punched out, but it missed. Han Yanrou didn't seem to dodge at all, but the punch missed by a hair.
Han Wenqing, who was watching from the sidelines, sighed with emotion. The spear was long, while the punch was short. The stab pushed the spear's attack range to the limit. After that, the Striker would have to fight for a lot of space. He had encountered this kind of difficulty many times when he fought with Ye Xiu. That guy knew how to make full use of these advantages.
The punch missed, but Han Yanrou's counterattack arrived. Song Qiying was flustered. He managed to find an opening and immediately activated Reinforced Iron Bones. River Sunset straightened himself up and continued to attack!
He had to control the tempo, and this wasn't something that could be done by just defending. Song Qiying was very focused on attacking.
However, Tang Rou didn't back down. She clearly knew what was at stake. She couldn't stop now. If she stopped, she would lose.
The tempo of the match suddenly soared. It quickly entered the style of today's group arena. The collision of spear and fist made many people feel like they were seeing a confrontation that had lasted for many years. What annoyed Tyranny's fans was that the Battle Mage was actually using a style that they were familiar with. Fortunately, their Song Qiying wasn't bad either. Facing such a fierce opponent, he didn't back down at all.
In the end, the outcome of today's single elimination tournament would be decided through the exchange of attacks.
Who would win?
No one could tell. Han Yanrou had less health, but in this kind of rhythm, she had the advantage. River Sunset's health was dropping faster. In this kind of rhythm, it was very easy for either side to be careless. It was possible for a last-second reversal to happen.
Everyone was watching the match. Even Pan Lin and Li Yibo's commentary had stopped. How could they commentate in this kind of rhythm? They could only wait for the results to come out before doing post-match analysis!
Bang!
Following the last muffled collision, the outcome of the battle was finally revealed.
Song Qiying, River Sunset. In the end, Tyranny had won.
Even though Tang Rou had lost, she had used the last 20% of her health to take out 60% of River Sunset's health. Her performance was astonishing.
The match ended. The players on both sides walked out of their booths. Applause rang out. It was for the winner, Song Qiying. It was also for Tang Rou. Even though this girl had a bad reputation, even though she used the Battle Mage that Tyranny hated the most, this player's style was well liked by Tyranny's fans!
If they liked her, then they clapped. Tyranny's fans were just that straightforward.
