This was a battle that affected everyone's nerves. Even the neutral players, who didn't care about either team, were extremely nervous.
However, the most nervous ones were the audience members, who could feel the atmosphere the most directly. They were the players from the two teams who had been sitting in the player seats for a long time. Just when Zhou Zekai broke through the class barrier, when Cloud Piercer's attacks danced like a sword, the crowd erupted. Countless people stood up excitedly, screaming, cheering! Samsara's momentum reached its peak. Even the Samsara players sitting on the sidelines revealed smiles.
They were very strong, strong enough to push Zhou Zekai into first place, but they weren't blindly confident. In a competition, there were wins and losses. Even someone as strong as Zhou Zekai couldn't win every battle. It wasn't as if Zhou Zekai hadn't stumbled against seemingly weak opponents before. What's more, the opponent in front of him was Ye Xiu, the Glory Textbook, former number one.
It wasn't until Zhou Zekai displayed his absolute strength that the members of Samsara finally let go of their nervousness and revealed smiles of victory.
They relaxed, but Happy's side was extremely nervous.
Archery skills were used like physical skills. Zhou Zekai's display of strength was truly shocking. Any Glory player could clearly feel it.
At this moment, Chen Guo hoped that she was wrong. She hoped that her judgment was a joke again, because her skill level wasn't high enough.
But when she turned her gaze to the others around her, Wei Chen, Fang Rui, these experienced players clearly had the same shock written all over their faces.
Unfortunately, she wasn't wrong this time. Unfortunately, Zhou Zekai really was shockingly strong.
But Chen Guo wasn't willing to give up. She continued to search everyone's faces for something that could make her feel at ease. She looked at them one by one, but there was nothing. Everyone's expression was extremely serious. Like a fist, one punch after another told Chen Guo how bad the situation was. Chen Guo's gaze circled around until her gaze finally landed on Su Mucheng, who was sitting on the other side of her.
Therefore, she saw a different expression from the others.
He was surprised, but also surprised. However, other than being surprised, she was not as serious as the others. From Su Mucheng's expression, Chen Guo actually saw a kind of … sadness?
Was Su Mucheng already feeling sad over Ye Xiu's defeat? This person who was most familiar with Ye Xiu already had a clearer judgment than any of them?
"I haven't lost yet!" Chen Guo blurted out. Even if the situation was not optimistic, as long as Lord Grim still had a drop of blood, she would look forward to the birth of a miracle.
"Ah?" Su Mucheng subconsciously responded, as if she had suddenly regained her senses. Her expression suddenly became very calm.
"Yes, I haven't lost yet." As she spoke to Chen Guo, her calm face quickly brightened up. It was the same expression that she always had for Ye Xiu.
"I won't lose!" Chen Guo said resolutely. "I haven't lost yet" had already become "I won't lose." It was a blessing, an expectation, and also a trust.
However, there really weren't many people like her.
In the broadcast, Pan Lin and Li Yibo had already announced Ye Xiu's death sentence. The two of them, as if in a crosstalk, talked about Zhou Zekai's revolutionary technique.
"Who knows, maybe Glory will undergo a major update and adjustment because of this." Pan Lin laughed. His tone was relaxed, as if the outcome of the match didn't matter because in his heart, the match was already over.
"Yes, it really is too abnormal. Compared to having the Alliance change the rules, having the game company change the game's settings is without a doubt even more abnormal. "Li Yibo said.
"Yes, yes, it really is too strong." Pan Lin had already used the word "too strong" countless times.
Yes, too strong.
However, being too strong didn't mean that he couldn't win, because it was just too strong. Too strong didn't mean the strongest!
The trajectories of the bullets were like sword light. As they intersected, Lord Grim suddenly leaned to the side. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hands split into two. As he held the tonfa in his hands, his entire body trembled!
Reinforced Iron Bones!
Lord Grim didn't dodge. He suddenly used this skill. In an instant, who knew how many bullets struck his chest. It was as if a sword had pierced his heart again and again. Blood splattered everywhere. Lord Grim's figure stepped through the splattering blood. His body moved to the side, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, which had just transformed into a tonfa, transformed into a Fighter claw form. His right hand swiftly reached out.
Cloud Body, Strangle!
Cloud Piercer hurriedly retreated.
Perhaps it was a backwards jump, or perhaps it was a backwards step, but no one knew what it was. Because of this Cloud Body, this Strangle had come so quickly and so suddenly. Zhou Zekai had reacted, but Cloud Piercer hadn't had time to use it. Lord Grim's right hand was already firmly gripping his throat.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
How could such a beautiful, abnormal Great Gunner be taken down by such a violent Strangle?
But it didn't seem to affect his attacks, right?
Everyone could clearly see that even though Lord Grim had rushed forward and grabbed Cloud Piercer by the Strangle, the muzzles of Cloud Piercer's Dual Pistols were tightly pressed against Lord Grim's body.
Strangle could restrict the opponent's movement, but it couldn't stop the opponent's attacks. At this moment, Zhou Zekai didn't even need to aim. He could fire like crazy. How much health could he take from Lord Grim in this instant?
Bang!
A muffled sound. Was it a gunshot?
No, it wasn't. It was Lord Grim. His head smashed into Cloud Piercer's head. Cloud Piercer's forehead immediately split open. Blood spurted out.
Headbutt!
A Brawler skill. Only those Brawlers who wandered the streets and used everything in their fights would use their heads as weapons. They relied on unscrupulous means to survive.
Zhou Zekai's view shook violently. Even so, Cloud Piercer's Dual Pistols remained steady. Gunshots continued to ring out. But Lord Grim's knee had already slammed into Cloud Piercer's abdomen, forcing him to bend over.
Knee Strike!
Under this half-grab skill, Cloud Piercer was finally unable to maintain his posture. His body bent over, and his arms hung down. The bullets that had been fired were swept to the ground.
Then, an elbow came down, smashing heavily into the back of Cloud Piercer's head. Cloud Piercer immediately fell down. Lord Grim's other hand had already formed a fist. With an Uppercut, Cloud Piercer was sent flying into the air.
Strangle, Headbutt, Knee Strike, Elbow Strike, Uppercut …
All of them were Brawler skills. Apart from Headbutt, the other four were all Low-level skills below Level 20. In the end, it was this combination of skills that completely broke Zhou Zekai's sharpness in using archery as a physical attack.
Cries of surprise, praises, it was as if a punch had been stuffed into their mouths. They couldn't say anything.
Chen Guo was excited.
As expected of Ye Xiu. As expected of Ye Xiu. The Ye Xiu who had never disappointed her.
"Amazing!" she shouted.
"Yes." Su Mucheng smiled. Just like before, she hadn't been too flustered. Now, she didn't seem too excited either.
When she saw Zhou Zekai's superb skill, she had indeed been a bit distracted.
She thought of her deceased brother, Su Muqiu. He had also used a Sharpshooter, and had also possessed incomparably beautiful skill.
At the same time, she couldn't forget the shock on his face when his Sharpshooter, Autumn Tree, had been beaten to the ground by Ye Xiu's One Leaf Of Autumn.
"Motherf * cker!"
That was the only time Su Mucheng had ever heard Su Muqiu swear. Despite his beautiful skill, he had been unable to believe his defeat, and had been a little flustered and exasperated.
"Can't you be more lame?"
Su Mucheng still remembered how Su Muqiu had repeatedly taunted Ye Xiu. The two of them had happily fought back and forth, using all sorts of classes and characters.
Su Muqiu had even specially prepared a small notebook for Su Mucheng to keep track of their wins and losses.
"I won't let you see it!" Ye Xiu had never been allowed to see it.
"More or less. There's nothing to see." Su Muqiu had always said this, but Su Mucheng, who had been keeping the notebook, knew very well that Ye Xiu had always been in the lead. Youths were naturally competitive, and Su Muqiu's record wasn't to show off his failure. But unfortunately, in the end, he hadn't been able to even the score.
In the end, the notebook had been taken care of as Su Muqiu's belongings, but Su Mucheng would occasionally wonder: if they had continued to play, playing until now, playing for ten years, what would the score in the notebook have been like?
Who was the best in Glory?
Everyone had an answer in their hearts, but because of their emotional inclinations, the answer could never be the same. Take Ye Xiu for example. He had always felt that if Su Muqiu were still alive, he would definitely be the best player in Glory. Mixed in this feeling was a sense of pity for the dead.
But in Su Mucheng's heart, the best was Ye Xiu. Even though she also missed Su Muqiu, she still felt this way. Because this was what her brother had told her: Ye Xiu was the best.
Therefore, Su Mucheng already knew the answer to this highly anticipated battle for the number one position from the very beginning. No matter what the result was, it wouldn't change.
Cloud Piercer, who had been thrown into the air by the Uppercut, immediately adjusted his gun. Zhou Zekai's reactions were always quick and accurate. In the air, he couldn't see Lord Grim at all, but based on his experience and awareness, Cloud Piercer fired a barrage of bullets at him.
Bullets rained down like rain. The bullets fired from the two muzzles were not aimed in the same direction. The angle of each shot had a certain degree of deviation. In an instant, the bullets that rained down carried out the largest area of firepower.
But so what?
Ye Xiu didn't care. He didn't care. Just like this, Lord Grim stuck out his chest, facing Cloud Piercer's bullets head-on, and continued to attack!
Because the distance was close enough, because the two characters were practically touching each other.
Even though Zhou Zekai could use his superb mechanics to swing Cloud Piercer's bullets like they were swords, in the end, he couldn't change the game's settings.
Long-ranged attacks weren't as effective as close-ranged attacks. No matter how beautiful an archer's attacks were, their control over the situation wasn't as stable as a close-ranged attack.
This was the most basic theory.
Or rather, the crudest theory.
