Sun Xiang smiled faintly, but this time, no one could see his smile hidden behind his computer screen. He didn't do anything special to One Leaf Of Autumn. Just like that, One Leaf Of Autumn jumped down.
Everything was exactly the same as when Du Ming had fought Fang Rui. The changes began after One Leaf Of Autumn jumped down.
Dragon Breaks The Ranks!
After One Autumn Leaf jumped down, he borrowed the momentum from the vertical to use this powerful skill. Suddenly, he was like a comet crashing down. Who knew how many times faster he was falling than Moon Luring Frost!
With such momentum, his movements were naturally different as well. However, Fang Rui still didn't raise his head to look. Hai Wuliang's movements were no longer as unhurried as before. He rushed forward, not to pull away, but to circle around the stalagmite.
Hai Wuliang circled behind the stalagmite. One Leaf Of Autumn's heroic charge seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, One Leaf Of Autumn hastily kicked off the stalagmite. His Battle Spear Evil Annihilation flattened. He wanted to change directions and land on the ground. However, there seemed to be a slight problem with his timing. The change in direction was very forced. In the end, One Leaf Of Autumn landed on the ground. He had managed to change directions, but the change wasn't complete enough. He couldn't raise his body in time. The heroic spirit of Dragon Breaks The Ranks was nowhere to be seen. After landing, he bent his waist and charged forward. It looked like he was plowing a field.
"Ha ha ha ha." Chen Guo mercilessly laughed. "You wanted me to see this?"
"This … …" Ye Xiu didn't know how to answer.
Looking at Sun Xiang's thought process and intentions, if Fang Rui's response was the same as the previous match, then no matter what kind of change it was, One Leaf Of Autumn's Dragon Breaks The Ranks would be able to deal with Sun Xiang's Dragon Breaks The Ranks. This high-difficulty right-angle turn was really quite beautiful. It was definitely not something that just anyone could do, so it was probably very difficult for anyone to think of it.
Sun Xiang was making full use of the information obtained by his teammates in battle. Unlike what Chen Guo thought, he wasn't going to use the same playstyle to show off that he was better than his teammates. He was going to use the same playstyle to draw out Fang Rui's repetitive playstyle, and then use a playstyle that he had already thought of to restrain him. This was a very typical team style of fighting in the arena. It was a full utilization of the team nature of the arena.
Unfortunately, in the end, Fang Rui's response was completely different from the previous match. Hai Wuliang immediately circled behind the stalagmite. No matter how brilliant the operation was, it was impossible to make One Leaf Of Autumn move around the stalagmite while falling at such a high speed.
This response made Sun Xiang stare blankly. In the end, it was because of this momentary daze that his movements were a bit slower. In the end, he barely managed to complete the difficult right-angle turn, but his character's posture wasn't very good.
Imperfect play would of course leave behind some openings. Hai Wuliang had already circled around behind One Leaf Of Autumn, gathering qi in his palms and sending it out.
Sky Piercing Strike!
The qi flew wildly, but it didn't hit!
One Leaf Of Autumn, whose back was facing Hai Wuliang, seemed to know that his opponent would attack from behind. He directly jumped up, leaping over the qi from Sky Piercing Strike. He turned around in midair, his spear Evil Annihilation already gathering dense magical qi!
Swift Fall! Shattering the Lands!
The magical qi fell straight to the ground, spreading out. The ground was continuously impacted, bulging, and exploding!
The magical qi that had circled around the ground seemed to have gathered some sort of power, lifting up mud and stones and scattering them violently. Fang Rui already knew that this wasn't going to happen, so he didn't dare to resist. Hai Wuliang scrambled back, his sneak attack completely destroyed by Sun Xiang. In this instant, Chen Guo really didn't want to admit it, but … she really did see the shadow of the Battle God of old.
With Evil Annihilation in hand, One Leaf Of Autumn chased after Hai Wuliang. Hai Wuliang ran wildly, looking back from time to time to check the situation. He looked like he was in a panic. Soon, he rushed to the side of another stalagmite, quickly circled around it, and suddenly flashed behind the stalagmite.
Sun Xiang didn't hesitate at all. One Leaf Of Autumn rushed forward, finally taking a diagonal step, turning behind the stalagmite while leaving a certain amount of space. However, this space wasn't large. In the eyes of too many people, this space wasn't enough to deal with a possible ambush. However, Sun Xiang had this confidence. He had this confidence.
One step forward!
There was no one behind the stalagmite. Hai Wuliang didn't have any plans to ambush. After using the stalagmite to block Sun Xiang's view, he continued to flee in a panic.
Sun Xiang sneered. One Leaf Of Autumn continued to give chase. However, One Leaf Of Autumn didn't have the opportunity to use a Neutral Chaser, so he didn't have much of an advantage in movement speed. The distance between the two characters was maintained. However, Sun Xiang wasn't impatient. He had One Leaf Of Autumn follow Hai Wuliang closely.
He couldn't catch up like this, but what about after Dragon Breaks The Ranks was off cooldown?
Everyone realized this point. The broadcast even showed the cooldown of Dragon Breaks The Ranks on One Leaf Of Autumn's skill tree, as if it was Hai Wuliang's countdown to death.
Chen Guo couldn't laugh anymore.
Fang Rui, who had been full of mettle when he played against Du Ming, was now being chased around like a stray dog by Sun Xiang.
Was there no other way? Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Don't panic. Fang Rui's rhythm isn't messed up."
"Isn't messed up?" In Chen Guo's eyes, Hai Wuliang was in a complete mess.
"If only Sun Xiang thought the same." Ye Xiu sighed.
"What do you mean!" Chen Guo expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Haha … …" Ye Xiu pretended to be stupid, smiling but not saying anything.
"Okay! Dragon Breaks The Ranks is almost off cooldown! "Pan Lin yelled in the broadcast." Three, two, one!! "
Pan Lin swallowed the rest of his words, because Sun Xiang didn't do as they thought and immediately let One Leaf Of Autumn use Dragon Breaks The Ranks as soon as the cooldown was off.
He wasn't impatient. He could tell that Fang Rui wasn't panicking either. Fang Rui had been running the entire time, but he hadn't found a chance to counterattack. If he rashly attacked now, it might give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of. The distance between the two wasn't something that could be solved with a single Dragon Breaks The Ranks. Fang Rui wasn't that bad.
Sun Xiang, who had ignored Fang Rui's challenge to Tang Rou, didn't underestimate Fang Rui in the slightest. From the very beginning, he had used the information gathered from his teammates' previous matches to show how much he valued his opponent.
Sun Xiang wasn't as immature as he had been in Team Conquering Clouds, and he wasn't as arrogant as he had been in Team Excellent Era. He was already a mature pro player, and he dealt with the match appropriately.
Were they going to keep chasing like this?
Seeing that the two didn't do anything other than sprint, the audience couldn't help but be puzzled. The finals were such a grand match. They couldn't just end up competing in stamina, right? That would be a bit boring.
Even though most of them thought that, it seemed like there really was nothing else besides stamina that could change the outcome of the match. The broadcast showed the two characters' stamina gauges, and this was an extremely rare comparison in a pro match.
"Hai Wuliang seems to be able to last a bit longer?" Pan Lin said after looking at the comparison.
"There definitely wouldn't be any problems controlling stamina between these two players. But there's a natural difference between the two classes in this area. In terms of stamina, even though One Leaf Of Autumn is slightly ahead, the Qi Master class consumes less stamina than the average class. It's probably a deliberate design to show how long Qi Master can last! "Li Yibo said.
"Normally, I don't think many people care about this sort of thing, right?" Pan Lin said.
"But right now … … this might become the key to the final outcome." Li Yibo said.
"He's actually able to use this point. As expected of Fang Rui … …" Pan Lin said.
"Yes."
"But this way, he'll just be able to use a bit more stamina to run a bit faster, leaving Sun Xiang a bit further behind. And then?" Pan Lin said.
"And then, he'll find an opportunity to counterattack … …" Li Yibo said a bit reluctantly. Pan Lin also felt that it was quite boring. Such a shrewd calculation, such a long-lasting but intolerable performance, in the end, all he'll do is leave his opponent a bit further behind, and then we'll start all over again?
Some words weren't suitable for the two of them to say on the show, but in their hearts, the two of them had the same thought: I've already taken off my pants, and this is all you're showing me?
In the end, you'll have to start all over again. This sort of development wasn't worth looking forward to at all. Pan Lin and Li Yibo were already unable to stir up any sort of excitement or nervousness. Not dozing off was already the greatest amount of concentration the two of them could muster.
"One Leaf Of Autumn has used up all of his stamina." Pan Lin said listlessly.
"Yeah." Li Yibo responded listlessly.
"Fang Rui should know, right?"
"He should know!"
"Sun Xiang doesn't have any ideas?" Pan Lin said.
"If he had any ideas, he would've used them long ago." Li Yibo said.
"Oh … …"
The two of them had an attitude of "so be it" as they watched One Leaf Of Autumn's stamina drop to zero.
"It's over."
"Yeah."
"Next … …"
"Dragon Breaks the Ranks, f * ck!!!" Pan Lin yelled. Because he couldn't hold back his impulse, he even cursed. However, he didn't notice it at all. He was completely immersed in his surprise and astonishment. They really didn't think that Sun Xiang would use Dragon Breaks the Ranks only after his stamina was completely exhausted.
Too surprising, too surprising. Fang Rui probably didn't think of this either, right? That arrogant Sun Xiang was actually so calm right now. It really was too surprising.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
One Leaf Of Autumn attacked. The speed of this skill wasn't something that Sprint, which consumed stamina, could deal with. However, there was still some distance between the two characters. Dragon Breaks the Ranks needed time to reach. The problem was, who would've thought that Dragon Breaks the Ranks would be used at this time? The slightest hesitation would've caused them to be unable to react in time.
However, Fang Rui didn't hesitate. He actually thought of this Dragon Breaks the Ranks.
Hai Wuliang moved sideways. Dragon Breaks the Ranks successfully closed in, and then he waved his palm to send a Spiral Qi Rush forward. Who would've thought that after One Leaf Of Autumn's Dragon Breaks the Ranks, he didn't immediately stop like Fang Rui thought. He actually charged forward. The two characters once again staggered. One Leaf Of Autumn wasn't able to close in, but Fang Rui also didn't have the best opportunity to counterattack. However, a Qi Master was a mid-ranged attacker. One Leaf Of Autumn's Dragon Breaks the Ranks continuously pulled apart. Fang Rui thought that he wouldn't be able to use a skill, but he still had other skills to attack.
Qi Blade!
An attack that wasn't easy to detect was stealthily released by Fang Rui's dirty tricks. The spectators who weren't paying attention might've thought that Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang wasn't doing anything.
Qi Blade flew out. Hai Wuliang's palm continued to gather energy, already preparing for the next skill. One Leaf Of Autumn had already turned around. He raised his spear, but the distance made it impossible for him to attack. However, with a sudden flash, all that could be seen were traces of magic fluctuations. One Leaf Of Autumn had actually disappeared.
Teleport! One Leaf Of Autumn's weapon skill for today's match was used. It was Teleport.
The first time a weapon skill was used was always surprising. However, Teleport was a very common skill among mages. It was even spread to all classes. Teleport was the most commonly used skill among all classes. In the other five classes, there wasn't a single skill that the players of that class were so focused on.
Even if Teleport's teleportation distance was a bit short, it was undoubtedly the most valuable skill, whether it was to escape or to close in.
So this change, for Fang Rui, shouldn't be too surprising?
