Who should I send to scout the terrain first?
This was the first thought that came to Zhang Xinjie's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. On paper, Tyranny should be stronger than Happy, but in a direct confrontation, leaving one person to fight four against five was a bit too careless. Even if it didn't seem like it would be too much of a problem for them to transfer one player away, this was the current situation. If they really did transfer one player away, Happy would definitely make adjustments to their 5v4 situation. On the other side, Ye Xiu wasn't an idle person.
He couldn't lose one person, so he had to deal with this situation first.
Did Luo Ji really have that kind of talent?
When Zhang Xinjie's gaze landed on Concealed Light, he couldn't help but think of this. Most people believed that "seeing through the terrain with a single glance" was Happy's smokescreen and couldn't be trusted. However, he couldn't completely rule out this possibility. For someone of Zhang Xinjie's personality, this was still a psychological burden. He even guessed that this might be Happy's goal, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't control himself. He wasn't being paranoid, it was just that when it came to something he didn't have absolute confidence in, he would always make a plan.
The terrain collapse was just one of the scenarios that Zhang Xinjie had predetermined. Maybe it wasn't like that, or maybe there was something in that terrain that Happy could use to increase his strength. Zhang Xinjie had all of these predetermined scenarios.
Increase defense and continue to fight head-on with a stable stance?
It might work under normal circumstances, but what if it was a trap like the terrain collapse?
It seemed like the safest plan was to not follow Happy's path.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xinjie finally made a decision.
Increase offense!
Tyranny gave new orders in the chat.
As Zhang Xinjie's long-time partner, Han Wenqing was the first to understand and the first to take action.
Desert Dust, who had just forced Han Yanrou back with a punch, rushed forward and kicked.
Han Yanrou's spear fell, parrying this kick. On the other side, Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a spear and secretly used a Circle Swing to grab it.
Cloud Body, Dual Tiger Palms!
Desert Dust twisted his body and slipped past Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Following that, he sent out a Double Tiger Palm. One palm went towards Lord Grim, while the other palm went out to guard against Han Yanrou.
Lord Grim leaped backwards to avoid the attack. Han Yanrou stepped sideways to avoid the attack, then slid forward and thrust out Dragon's Teeth.
Han Wenqing did not dodge, nor did he block. Instead, he threw out a punch. Desert Dust rushed forward, using distance to avoid the Dragon's Teeth, while continuing to attack Lord Grim with punches.
But Ye Xiu had already counterattacked when he jumped backwards to avoid the Double Tiger Palm. He also used Dragon's Teeth, which met Desert Dust's punch. Both characters were shocked. Neither had the priority of the skill. They were evenly matched.
Increase offense. These words were not a buff. It didn't mean that the team's battle strength would suddenly increase. To strengthen the offense, the players needed to adjust their rhythm to achieve this.
Simply put, it meant that the balance between offense and defense was adjusted to the offensive side, sacrificing the defensive side to gain more offensive power.
To put it more bluntly: there would be situations where the players would trade more health. Originally, they would choose to defend or dodge. But in a situation where they needed to increase offense, they would prioritize not interrupting their own offense. Taking more damage was fine.
Desert Dust's Forward Punch didn't seem to be trading health, but it was a decision based on this principle. The main purpose of the Forward Punch was to attack Lord Grim. Dodging Han Yanrou's Dragon's Teeth was just a matter of convenience. This could be said to be a reflection of Han Wenqing's rich battle experience. Even if he was trading health, he would do his best to balance both sides and reduce his losses.
However, even if Dragon's Teeth missed, Han Wenqing wouldn't be able to escape the following attacks. Han Yanrou used Double Stab after Dragon's Teeth, and then Double Stab accurately hit Desert Dust. At the same time, a Frag Grenade floated in front of her and exploded. Han Yanrou was knocked to the side and hastily rolled to neutralize the impact. Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder was rushing towards her, but halfway through, a shadow appeared. Civet pounced towards Dark Thunder …
Team battles were closely linked. As Han Wenqing increased his offense, Tyranny's entire team followed his rhythm. Happy's side, in order to deal with this sudden attack, immediately fell into a defensive position to digest Tyranny's offense.
Zhang Xinjie immediately became busier. On one hand, he had to carefully observe the situation on the field. At the same time, this type of increased offense was also a test for his healer. As the biggest guarantee of support, if his healer couldn't keep up, Happy might find an opening.
Small Heal, Great Heal, Focus, Divine Light, Spirit Revelation, Sacred Fire …
Holy Heal's white light flowed out from Immovable Rock's Backlit Cross. Glory's number one Cleric wasn't just for show. In this chaotic and ever-changing battle, this Cleric had unexpectedly become the most eye-catching player on the field. And to show the Cleric's performance, the most common trick in Glory's broadcast was to show the health bars of the entire team. At this moment, Tyranny's five health bars were listed together, like five notes pulsating up and down rhythmically, creating a harmonious movement.
And what about its performer?
Immovable Rock was also given a close-up shot. His current posture wasn't as elegant as the movement he had put together. Immovable Rock was shuttling back and forth amidst the cannon fire. His pure white Cleric robes had been dyed black from time to time.
Tyranny was increasing his offense. How could Happy not notice this?
And in this type of situation, interfering with the opponent's healer was like taking away the firewood from under the cauldron.
Happy knew this, but so did Tyranny. So for a Battle Mage like Han Yanrou, even ten units away from Immovable Rock wouldn't be able to get close.
But Happy was the only close-ranged attacker on Tyranny that could be easily stopped. Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain was far away from the battlefield. Team Tyranny's three Fighters couldn't even touch her. Only Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms could interfere with her. And this interference was extremely limited. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had used a lot of Light Shadow in the previous battle, so he needed to be careful. He couldn't continuously use Light Shadow, and his range wasn't as good as Dancing Rain's.
Moreover, it wasn't just Su Mucheng that Zhang Jiale needed to deal with. In Concealed Light's Four Beast Style, the Wyvern and Thunder Eagle were both flying types. It wasn't as convenient for three Fighters to deal with them. These two were also targets that Zhang Jiale needed to deal with.
And then after that, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim's sudden attacks were the most disgusting and hateful of all. If you paid attention to him, he would be focused on close-range combat for a hundred years. If you let your guard down, he would take advantage of an opening and fire at Immovable Rock, interrupting the healer's cast.
He interfered with Immovable Rock from multiple directions, almost disrupting Tyranny's offensive rhythm and forcing Tyranny back to the defensive side. And at the most critical moment, Team Tyranny's captain and vice-captain gave the same order, allowing Tyranny to maintain his rhythm.
"Maintain the offense!"
"Maintain the offense!"
Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie, the two of them said the exact same thing in the channel.
As a result, Tyranny continued to attack and pressure, restricting Happy's freedom. He didn't protect Zhang Xinjie too much. As a result, the offensive rhythm was maintained, but Zhang Xinjie had to deal with some of the attacks himself.
Dodging, selling health. Immovable Rock faced the attacks head-on, but he still maintained the rhythm of his healing. The character's difficult situation and the harmony and stability of the Life Movement formed a strong contrast. It made people realize Zhang Xinjie's strength even more deeply.
Attack, don't block!
In terms of defense, Zhang Xinjie alone was able to hold on to this extent!
How could Tyranny not win?
Win, Tyranny won, because Happy couldn't beat Zhang Xinjie. That was what many people thought. Tyranny's fans in the stadium were already cheering for victory. The threat of the Seven Color Springs? Let's see if Happy can hold on until then. If he can hold on until then, how many people will be left?
What else could they do?
The pro player chat group was discussing this question.
Their habit when watching matches was to put themselves in the shoes of others. Put yourself in an advantageous position. How could you do better? Put yourself in a disadvantageous position. How could you turn the situation around?
The group began a war of words. Some people suggested ideas, while others disagreed. Everyone was already simulating this battle.
"It's time to stake everything." The conclusion came from Micrograss's Wang Jiexi.
By stake everything, he meant Happy. Tyranny could win as long as he didn't make any mistakes. Happy had to do something to turn the situation around.
Interrupting Zhang Xinjie's healing was the key. This was what everyone agreed on. From the looks of it, only by interrupting Zhang Xinjie's healing could Tyranny's entire team be affected.
However, doing so was very difficult. It wasn't as if Happy hadn't interrupted a healer's cast once or twice before, but it wasn't enough. Interrupting a healer once or twice wasn't enough to completely mess up their rhythm. Right now, Happy needed to completely suppress Zhang Xinjie and his Immovable Rock.
Attack!
At this moment, Happy seemed to have no other choice.
He didn't have to attack Tyranny, but rather Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock!
Where would Happy start? The pro players were all paying attention to this point. They didn't believe that Team Happy, with Ye Xiu leading, would be defeated by Tyranny. They would definitely struggle. Even if they died, they would tear off some of Tyranny's flesh.
Han Yanrou!
The camera suddenly turned to Han Yanrou.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
Magic gathered at the tip of her spear. Han Yanrou raised her spear and charged forward.
Was she going to close the distance and create an opening? But Tyranny had already been met by someone. River Sunset, Emperor's Fist!
Spear against fist!
This rivalry that had lasted for many years continued between the two teams of rookies. Dragon Breaks the Ranks was slightly stronger than Emperor's Fist, but it was far from enough to completely defeat the opponent. River Sunset staggered. Han Yanrou's Dragon Breaks the Ranks was immediately stopped.
But while River Sunset was stumbling, a figure had already rushed out.
Lord Grim! Shining Cut! Just as he was about to dash past, an arm suddenly reached out from the side.
Tiger Flips the Mountain!
An intermediate Brawler skill that could block the priority of Shining Cut. Ye Xiu wanted to use this opening to break through, but who knew how many people had been monitoring him from start to finish.
Lord Grim came to a sudden stop.
Lin Jingyan had already done his best to stop Ye Xiu, but he hadn't expected Ye Xiu to come to a sudden stop. Had he already anticipated that his breakthrough would be blocked?
Lin Jingyan didn't have time to see what Ye Xiu was going to do next. He knew that his reaction speed and mechanics were inferior to Ye Xiu's, so he decided to make the first move.
Twist, Twin Crescent Moon!
He punched out with both fists. One Night: Eight Desolations on the back of his hands instantly tore through any openings.
What else could he do?
Lin Jingyan turned his camera and saw Lord Grim's hands moving.
Hand seals, Shadow Clone Technique.
Shadow Clone Technique again. But wasn't it a bit too far? If Tyranny couldn't even defend against this move from Ye Xiu, then his ten, nine, or eight years of experience would be a joke. They couldn't guarantee that Lord Grim wouldn't use Shadow Clone Technique. After all, this ninjutsu hand seals were extremely fast and could be moved at will. Interrupting it was very difficult. They couldn't stop Shadow Clone Technique, but they could at least force Lord Grim to a certain distance.
As a result, the Shadow Clone was destroyed by Dark Thunder. His real body appeared, but he was still three units away from Immovable Rock. This was already the limit of Shadow Clone Technique. And then, he saw a grenade land one unit away from Immovable Rock.
How could he move in front of this grenade?
Flickering Stab?
Tyranny had seen this move when he was fighting against Han Wenqing. He knew that Lord Grim would use this move today. However, Flickering Stab only allowed him to move one unit away. Right now, he was two steps away from the grenade. One more step, and the situation would be completely different.
There was no skill that could allow him to get to the position Ye Xiu needed. The grenade exploded, Burst Type! The powerful shockwave sent Lord Grim flying back to where he had come from. But before he reached the end, a figure jumped up to receive Lord Grim in midair.
Ferocious Tiger Flurry!
Han Wenqing directly used a high-level skill. Desert Dust's fists and feet danced in the air. Lord Grim unexpectedly responded. The two fought from the air to the ground. Under the pressure of Ferocious Tiger Flurry, Lord Grim could only continuously retreat. Han Wenqing was focused on this and didn't pay attention to anything else. Against an extremely dangerous terrorist like Ye Xiu, it was completely worth it to send someone to watch over him.
Ye Xiu was already restricted. What else did Happy have?
Su Mucheng's long-range firepower? Too far. There wasn't enough pressure on Zhang Xinjie, so Su Mucheng was already trying to pressure him. If she could bring Immovable Rock into her firing line, then her dense firepower would be enough to completely suppress Immovable Rock's healing. But at this distance, she had already entered Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attack range. Under the threat of all sorts of bullets, how could she create a perfect firing line?
Stabilized Gun Mount!
Su Mucheng used this high-level skill again, but when the pro players saw Su Mucheng use this skill, they all had reservations. Stabilized Gun Mount could attack the target without interference, but the problem was that Stabilized Gun Mount also restricted movement. Dancing Rain's target was Immovable Rock, and the one restricting him was Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. Immovable Rock could open up some distance. If Dancing Rain wanted to continue attacking, she would have to move to keep up. Stabilized Gun Mount? What could it do? It wasn't like she was going to exchange fire with Dazzling Hundred Blossoms.
Sure enough, Zhang Xinjie did as everyone had expected. As soon as he saw Dancing Rain set up her Mounted Gun, he immediately moved away at full speed. But after a few steps, the ground in front of him suddenly glowed. Magic flowed. It was actually a summoning circle.
The pro players' eyes lit up!
So Happy's plan had been this way?
Dancing Rain's firepower was going to send Immovable Rock into the summon's mouth?
At this moment, the camera was obviously in Concealed Light's hands. He stuck close to the side of the mountain, doing his best to not draw any attention as he quietly waved his magic staff.
But in reality, Tyranny had never overlooked his existence. Just by looking at how Concealed Light's Four Beast Style had never gathered all four of his beasts together, one could see this point. Tyranny had always been on guard against the Four Beast Style's most terrifying skill, Elemental Beast King Formation!
Right now, it was the same. There were only three beasts on the field: the Thunder Eagle, the small Fire Dragon, and the Spirit Cat. They were all fighting around Dark Thunder. If it weren't for this, Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder would have rushed up and taken down either Concealed Light or Little Cold Hands. These two characters had been under Happy's protection the entire time, but after Happy started attacking, he didn't have time to care about them.
At this moment, Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder leapt into the air and swiped at the Thunder Eagle with his claws. Fighting with summons was treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Lin Jingyan wanted to break away from these three summons as soon as possible so that he could directly attack their master. But with this swipe of his claws, the Thunder Eagle in the air suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.
Hit?
Lin Jingyan knew that wasn't the case. This change meant that the summon's life had run out, or that the summon had been summoned again, swapping the old for the new one!
The cry of an eagle came from the side. Lin Jingyan turned to look and saw a brand new Thunder Eagle fly out of the summoning formation in front of Immovable Rock. It let out a thunderous roar as it descended towards Immovable Rock.
Immovable Rock dodged, but a second summoning circle had already begun forming next to him.
The small Fire Dragon and Spirit Cat next to Dark Thunder ignored him and immediately rushed towards Immovable Rock.
Lin Jingyan no longer felt any pressure, but his heart trembled. If these two went over, there would be a new Thunder Eagle, and a Frost Wolf. The four beasts were about to gather!
No matter what, he had to stop one of them.
Dark Thunder twisted his body and clawed at it, but the Spirit Cat was nimble and nimble. Lin Jingyan didn't waste too much time with it. The Spirit Cat was the hardest to hit out of the four beasts. He tapped his keyboard and Dark Thunder leapt into the air. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the small Fire Dragon's tail.
He grabbed it with both hands and threw it!
Fling!
The small Fire Dragon was thrown as far away as possible, and then Powerful Knee Strike!
Dark Thunder rushed towards Concealed Light. Even if he killed the small Fire Dragon, it wouldn't solve the problem. Throwing it away was the smartest thing to do.
The Frost Wolf had already walked out of the summoning circle. As for Immovable Rock? Immovable Rock waved his Backlight Cross and began a melee with the Frost Wolf. Crusader's Trial. This was the only attack skill Immovable Rock had learned today. It seemed to be enough to deal with the summons.
The third summoning circle was activated. As expected, Luo Ji prepared to summon the small Fire Dragon again. But Dark Thunder was already close. He raised his hand and threw a Brick.
A figure rushed out and blocked the Brick.
An Wenming had used Little Cold Hands to block the Brick, which would have interrupted Concealed Light's summoning.
He couldn't stop the small Fire Dragon from being summoned again, but … he couldn't use the Elemental Beast King Formation. Lin Jingyan had enough time for Dark Thunder to reach Concealed Light.
Little Cold Hands?
A slap to the face!
Lin Jingyan didn't even pay attention to the healer, who was always the focus of the team competition. Concealed Light, only Concealed Light. He was the only one on the field who could use a killing move!
Elemental Beast King Formation …
Concealed Light waved his staff. The four beasts seemed to have heard their master's call. Elemental power began to circulate between them. The four colors overlapped, representing the four elements of light, darkness, ice, and fire. But after just one circle, the four colors suddenly shattered.
Interrupted!
A Strangle. Dark Thunder grabbed Concealed Light's neck and pressed him against the mountain wall. The Elemental Beast King Formation had been completely interrupted.
It's over …
The pro player chat group fell silent. It wasn't that they were all hoping to be Happy. They were just hoping for more exciting twists in the match.
Immovable Rock had four summons by his side, but Immovable Rock had already used Crusader's Trial to protect himself. Then, he used Angel's Wings to float in the air, greatly reducing the Frost Wolf and Spirit Cat's attack efficiency. Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms also provided some support. Ice Bullets hit the small Fire Dragon. Their stats countered each other, so killing it was a piece of cake.
The four summons surrounded Immovable Rock, which wasn't hard for the pro players to deal with. As a result, the pro players didn't think of it as a threat. Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock had already begun to heal the others after activating Angel's Wings.
Victory had been decided.
Even the pro players didn't see it anymore. The camera zoomed in on Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, accompanied by Pan Lin and Li Yibo's mournful words.
"Ye Xiu started from scratch and built a team all by himself. He made it through the Challenger League, made it into the playoffs, and fought three battles with Tyranny in the semifinals. I think this is already an incredible miracle." Pan Lin said.
"Yes. Even if he didn't make it into the finals and win the championship, this is still unprecedented. Moreover, as the Alliance continues to develop, I think it will be very difficult for anyone to do this in the future. Ye Xiu will once again go down in the history of the Alliance." Li Yibo said.
"And the team he built will have limitless prospects. Every rookie on the team has already shown us how extraordinary they are. They will continue to grow together with Happy's team." Pan Lin said.
"Even though they lost, it was glorious."
"Even though they lost, it was glorious."
After the two finished speaking, they began to mourn. On the field, Desert Dust threw a punch at Lord Grim.
If this punch was able to kill Lord Grim, it would be perfect with my commentary. Pan Lin and Li Yibo both thought of this. But when they saw that Lord Grim really did have a lot of health left, the two couldn't help but feel regretful.
In reality, let alone an instant kill, it wasn't very likely that the punch would hit. But Lord Grim raised his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and was actually unable to block the punch.
Han Wenqing was surprised. Such a disgusting mistake wouldn't happen to Ye Xiu, right? He suddenly felt uneasy.
The punch hit!
The mana within the fist seemed to have been shattered, blossoming like a flower. At the same time, the sound of a cat's meow could be heard. The pitch-black Spirit Cat was sent flying by Desert Dust's punch, curling up into a ball.
What was going on? Under the close-up, everyone could clearly see that Lord Grim had turned into a Spirit Cat?
Glory didn't have any polymorph skills. There was only one possibility for this type of transformation.
Summoner skill: Switch.
"F * ck!!!"
"The Spirit Cat was summoned by Lord Grim?!" The pro player chat group was already filled with curses.
Lord Grim had already appeared behind Immovable Rock.
"Angel Wings! It's so bright! "Ye Xiu praised.
Assassin skill: Life-Risking Strike.
"F * ck, where did Life-Risking Strike come from!!"
"Doesn't a Nightwalker have two forms? Two Nightwalker skills have already appeared!! "The pro player chat group was filled with curses again.
