Lu Boyuan had once performed outstandingly in the finals of Season 8 between Samsara and Blue Rain. He was a major contributor to Samsara winning the championship. It was also after that year's finals that Lu Boyuan's fame skyrocketed. In the following year's All Star selection, he was ranked 13th, replacing the original All Star Grappler, Li Yihui, who had previously played for Micrograss and was now playing for 301 Degrees. Lu Boyuan had reached the peak of his career. As for Li Yihui, he had also been at the peak of his career, but because of this transfer, he quickly disappeared from the crowd. The battle for the number one Grappler had completely lost its suspense.
This season, Lu Boyuan was once again selected as an All Star. Even though his ranking wasn't high, only 22nd, being able to squeeze into the All Stars meant that he was one of the most popular All Stars in Glory. And considering that this season, Samsara had brought in another top expert, Sun Xiang, who controlled a legendary character like the Battle God, One Leaf Of Autumn, just within Team Samsara, the fan vote had already tilted quite a bit. In the end, Lu Boyuan was still able to squeeze into the 24 All Stars. If it had been someone with slightly less skill or popularity, the other All Stars on Team Samsara might have stolen the spotlight.
Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, Jiang Botao, Samsara's three All Stars were all in the top ten. And now, their captain's number four All Star, ranked 22nd Lu Boyuan, was going to be the third player in the group arena.
The cheers and applause in the stadium symbolized his popularity. Team Samsara's players were using their skill one after another to make the whole of Glory realize that they weren't a one-man team.
The match began amidst applause. Because Su Mucheng had won the previous round, both characters were at full health. The mana that Dancing Rain had used up wasn't enough to last a 1v1. This match could be said to be a matchup without any difference in strength. It was just that the difference between the two classes could be said to be the greatest of the 24 classes in Glory.
This difference was mainly reflected in their attack range.
Launchers had the longest attack range, there was no doubt about that. As for Grapplers? Even compared to Strikers who were also Fighters, Grapplers could be said to have a shorter attack range. Not only did they have to hit their opponents, but they also had to grab their opponents while they were attacking. The way they dealt damage to their opponents was a true zero distance attack.
The atmosphere in the stadium was pretty good. However, the commentators, Pan Lin and Li Yibo, were not in the best of moods. They had been slapped in the face too deeply. However, when it came to the topic of "Furthest vs. Closest," the two of them still had a lot to say. Then, they cleverly avoided talking about the two players and only talked about the two classes. This way, they would not be slapped in the face. The two of them spoke quite honestly.
Very quickly, the two characters met in the center of the map without any players circling around.
Su Mucheng didn't hesitate. Dancing Rain directly opened fire. Lu Boyuan didn't hesitate either. His Grappler character, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain, dodged.
Facing the heavy firepower of a Launcher, it wasn't as if there weren't people who directly charged in, but Lu Boyuan clearly didn't plan on doing so. As soon as Dancing Rain appeared in his field of vision, he began to size up the terrain. As soon as Dancing Rain opened fire, he found an idea from the terrain. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain quickly hid behind a stalagmite.
The terrain of this Stalagmite Forest was none other than the distribution of stalagmites. In the match that had just ended, although Jiang Botao had been defeated by Su Mucheng in a single wave, it was actually quite a brilliant display of his familiarity with the map and his ability to utilize it. If Su Mucheng hadn't coincidentally chosen to use the "Electronic Eye" skill in this match, it was hard to say what would have happened in that match.
Jiang Botao used the map very well, and Lu Boyuan wasn't too bad either. It was just that he knew that Su Mucheng had the "Electronic Eye" skill this time, so he naturally had to be careful. However, this "Electronic Eye" was just a small machine the size of a ping pong ball. If it was floating in the air, it would be easy to notice, but if it was like last time, when Su Mucheng controlled it from afar, it wouldn't be so easy to notice.
And this time, after the broadcast found out that Su Mucheng had this skill, they paid special attention to her main view interface. Previously, because only a small screen was used to show her first-person perspective and not the interface, the view that appeared after the electronic eye was used was not noticed. It was only after the playback that this section was discovered.
This time, the broadcast had noticed it, but Su Mucheng didn't use her Electronic Eyes. Even when Lu Boyuan's Chaotic Cloudy Mountain hid behind the stalagmite, she didn't rush to use her Electronic Eyes. Instead, she continued to control Dancing Rain, trying to pull her character to expose Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's position.
With a turn, half of Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's body was revealed. Dancing Rain's cannon immediately began to fire, but Lu Boyuan had been watching. He pulled back, and Chaotic Cloudy Mountain immediately retreated. As Dancing Rain fired, she moved to the side. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain retreated quickly, and Dancing Rain followed quickly. However, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain quickly circled around the stalagmite. If Dancing Rain wanted to continue circling around the stalagmite, she would have to cover too much distance. The two were moving in a circle around the stalagmite. The circle that Dancing Rain was moving in had a radius of at least ten times that of Chaotic Cloudy Mountain. How could she rely on this method to keep up?
As a result, Dancing Rain simply stopped. She couldn't see Chaotic Cloudy Mountain, but she still raised her cannon and fired.
The flames of the explosion didn't deviate. They brushed past the stalagmite and rose up in front of it. Su Mucheng wanted to take advantage of the Launcher's AoE attack. Even though the attack wasn't aimed directly at Chaotic Cloudy Mountain, the splash effect from the AoE attack would still deal some damage to him. Unless Lu Boyuan chose to dodge, he would definitely be exposed behind the stalagmite.
Su Mucheng's idea wasn't bad, but Lu Boyuan had already expected this. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain wasn't standing close to the stalagmite. Rather than using the stalagmite to cover himself, it was more accurate to say that he was using the stalagmite to block Su Mucheng's blind spot.
The area of this blind spot was determined by the distance between the opponent and the stalagmite. Lu Boyuan had at least grasped the area of this blind spot with Dancing Rain's previous positioning. He was only using this blind spot to hide himself, and he was also using this blind spot to move. Amidst the sounds of gunfire, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain had long since left that stalagmite. Using this blind spot, he smoothly moved behind another stalagmite.
But at this moment, the audience could see that Su Mucheng had finally used her Electronic Eye, but she didn't use it to scout ahead. Instead, she had it circle around the stalagmite. Dancing Rain used the stalagmite as a cover for Lu Boyuan's field of view to continue her splash attacks while quietly moving forward.
Soon, the back of the stalagmite appeared in the Electronic Eye's view. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain had long since left. The Electronic Eye spun twice, and the image of Chaotic Cloudy Mountain using the blind spot to move to the back of the next stalagmite appeared.
Su Mucheng continued to maintain her composure, but Dancing Rain's movements were clearly much faster. This time, the Electronic Eye wasn't used to scout. It was used to move along a different path from Dancing Rain's to get a better view of the situation. As a result, the concealment of the stalagmite was no longer effective. Su Mucheng had a clear grasp of Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's position.
Then, when Lu Boyuan tried to use the blind spot to move to the back of the next stalagmite, a missile tumbled and burned, crashing to his feet. It was too late to dodge. The Heat-Seeking Missile fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed. The explosion created a mushroom cloud that engulfed Chaotic Cloudy Mountain. Dancing Rain turned around and came out from behind the stalagmite. She aimed her cannon at the mushroom cloud and prepared to continue attacking. But to her surprise, an irresistible force suddenly pulled Dancing Rain towards the mushroom cloud. It was as if something was pulling her towards the mushroom cloud.
Cloud Grasping Fist!
Su Mucheng had already realized it.
The smoke from the mushroom cloud dispersed. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's Grappler extended his hands forward. Qi circulated in his palms. Wasn't this the Qi Master's "Cloud Grasping Fist"?
In the previous round, Jiang Botao's plan had been completely ruined because Su Mucheng had chosen the Electronic Eye as a weapon. In this round, Su Mucheng had immediately been caught by Chaotic Cloudy Mountain because Lu Boyuan had chosen the Cloud Grasping Fist as a weapon.
The crowd erupted into applause. Samsara's fans had been worried that Lu Boyuan had been completely caught by Su Mucheng, but unexpectedly, the situation had turned around. How had he done it?
The big screen at the scene showed what Lu Boyuan had done at that moment faster than the television broadcast.
Lu Boyuan had no intention of dodging the Heat-Seeking Missile. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain shook his arms and activated Reinforced Iron Bones. Even though the Heat-Seeking Missile dealt a lot of damage, because of his Super Armor, he wasn't sent flying. Chaotic Cloudy Mountain immediately used Cloud Grasping Fist. The mushroom cloud from the Heat-Seeking Missile served as a cover for Chaotic Cloudy Mountain. No matter how many eyes Su Mucheng had, she didn't know that Chaotic Cloudy Mountain was preparing a counterattack. He had predicted that Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain would reveal herself and attack. Sure enough, Dancing Rain came out from behind the stalagmite and was immediately caught by his Cloud Grasping Fist. In the blink of an eye, Dancing Rain was pulled in front of Chaotic Cloudy Mountain. The distance between the two sides was zero!
Spinning Throw!
Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's movements were incomparably smooth. As soon as Dancing Rain was pulled in front of him, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain grabbed her with one hand. He twisted his body, swung his arm, and threw Dancing Rain into the air. At the same time, Chaotic Cloudy Mountain's body was thrown into the air as well. Then, his legs clamped down on Dancing Rain's neck.
Aerial Twist!
Chaotic Cloudy Mountain twisted his body and flipped Dancing Rain, who had just been thrown into the air, back to the ground. This was only the beginning of the Judo's continuous grabbing and killing.
