The ordinary spectators didn't know about this subtlety. In their eyes, the two characters had finally met. Ye Xiu attacked first, while Zhou Zekai nimbly used the terrain to dodge.
The spectating experts knew that this was Ye Xiu's meticulous positioning, but the only ones who truly understood this subtlety were the two players on the field.
Two shots!
When they met, before he had time to react, the other side had already fired two shots.
Zhou Zekai didn't just have beautiful mechanics. He wasn't proud of being called Glory's number one player, but he wouldn't be too modest either. Because whether it was modesty or pride, it could lead to errors in judgment on the field.
Zhou Zekai had a clear sense of self-confidence, which allowed him to judge the situation on the field.
Before he could react, the other side had already fired two shots!
This wasn't an ordinary coincidence.
This was the conclusion that Zhou Zekai immediately came to. He didn't know Lord Grim's positioning like the other pro players, but he used his own methods to immediately determine that "Ye Xiu had the upper hand."
As a result, Cloud Piercer didn't stop, didn't counterattack, and didn't even hesitate. He just flashed past.
After two shots, Lord Grim immediately lost sight of his target.
What a guy!
Ye Xiu praised in his heart.
In that instant, Zhou Zekai had already understood the situation. The title of Glory's number one player wasn't based on appearance like many people thought. Zhou Zekai's skill, awareness, and attitude were all outstanding in the pro scene. Ye Xiu knew this very well.
Because to him, Zhou Zekai wasn't a stranger. From Season 5 until now, apart from Ye Xiu's completely blank Season 9, the two sides had crossed paths more than once or twice. He completely understood Zhou Zekai's ability, and completely understood how difficult it was to deal with this opponent.
Relying on a meticulously planned positioning to seize the initiative and win the match? Ye Xiu hadn't thought of it that way. But in the end, he was still somewhat surprised. He hadn't thought that he would lose the initiative so quickly. His initial plans had all failed.
But the battle-hardened Ye Xiu wasn't so easily scared.
Change directions!
Lord Grim, who had been about to charge towards Cloud Piercer after two shots, suddenly changed directions. He moved very quickly, and Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer immediately appeared in his view from another angle.
Bang bang bang bang!
Sparks flew.
Lord Grim's fire wasn't something an unspecialized could do............. only Sharpshooters!
Wildfire's right hand..
His gray windbreaker fluttered in the wind..
Ye Xiu's rush allowed Lord Grim to fall into Zhou Zekai's trap. This scene was extremely similar to when Cloud Piercer had stepped into Ye Xiu's trap.
Zhou Zekai didn't completely understand Ye Xiu's positioning, so this wasn't an eye for an eye. These were just two top-tier players of the same realm. They were using this map to their advantage.
Ye Xiu had done it through careful observation and precise calculations.
As for Zhou Zekai? This was the map that Samsara had used in the finals. All he had was an extraordinary understanding and familiarity with the map.
Tongues of fire shot out. Gunshots boomed.
Ye Xiu's current situation was exactly what he was facing.
Whoosh. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella immediately opened up. Bullets rained down on the umbrella, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.
The firepower was too fierce!
The big screens in the stadium and the broadcast immediately displayed a set of numbers.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability was 23. In its shield form, this durability was too low. Because shields had special uses, their durability consumption wasn't on the same level as normal weapons.
As for the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability, 23 was the durability of a normal weapon. When it transformed into a shield form, the durability wouldn't change.
How low was this durability for a shield? It was easy to see with a comparison.
The lowest-leveled shield in Glory, the Level 5 Small Wooden Shield, had a durability of 20. It wasn't far from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability.
In the Heavenly Domain, because they were relatively easy to obtain and had decent stats, many Knights had the Level 70 Purple Shield, Soaking Thorns, which had a durability of 85.
As for the number one shield in Glory, Micrograss's Knight, Angelica's Silver Shield, Sighing Wall, had a durability of 135.
A high-level shield with 23 durability? Apart from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield form, there was no other shield like it in Glory.
The broadcast and the big screens in the stadium all gave a close-up of the durability. This was because Cloud Piercer's high-speed attacks were rapidly depleting the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability.
22, 21 …
The numbers were actually jumping at a visible rate. It could be seen just how concentrated and fierce Cloud Piercer's attacks were.
"Hurry up and dodge!!" In Happy's player area, Chen Guo was already anxiously shouting. Because this durability wasn't just for Lord Grim's shield. His weapon's durability was also the same. His weapon's durability wouldn't be replenished because of the shield's transformation. At this rate, it seemed like it would reach zero in the blink of an eye. In Glory, when an equipment's durability reached zero, it would be completely destroyed.
20, 19 …
In just a few seconds, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's durability had already dropped by 4 points. Facing Cloud Piercer's barrage of attacks, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield form paled in comparison.
But Lord Grim didn't dodge.
For a few seconds, Ye Xiu actually allowed Lord Grim to hold up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, it was that there was nowhere to dodge!
Ye Xiu had originally wanted to launch an attack, but he hadn't thought that Zhou Zekai would have already taken note of Lord Grim's possible locations. This instant reaction allowed Zhou Zekai to gain the upper hand.
One step faster, every step faster.
Ye Xiu could only passively take the hits. Lord Grim didn't have any cover around him that he could use to dodge.
He could only raise the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield.
And to be able to hit the shield's durability so low, such a dense barrage of attacks couldn't be dodged just by moving around.
There was nowhere to retreat, nowhere to hide, and the umbrella shield couldn't last for long.
Then he could only continue forward, continue forward through this barrage of bullets!
Charge!
Shields were of the Priest class. In the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield form, there was no problem using the Knight's Charge skill.
Amidst the rain of bullets, Lord Grim suddenly charged towards Cloud Piercer.
Zhou Zekai had already pulled Cloud Piercer horizontally, trying to get a better view and directly shoot Lord Grim behind the shield.
Cloud Piercer leaped horizontally, but his two guns were abnormally steady.
His view had been snatched away, but the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield didn't change in time.
Fire!
Bullets flew out, passing through the back of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
There was no one behind the umbrella!
