Of course, Ghost Boundaries wouldn't last forever. A skilled Phantom Demon would plan the effects and cooldown of each Ghost Boundary to ensure that they would be able to continuously control the field.
But right now, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was continuously casting Ghost Boundaries. Dark Boundary, Ice Boundary, and Silence Boundary were all Ghost Boundaries with strong crowd control effects. Normally, they would be used in a row to maintain a large amount of crowd control over the opponent. But right now, three Ghost Boundaries had been cast one after another, completely sealing off Sun Xiang and Jiang Botao. One Inch Ash then immediately began casting a fourth Ghost Boundary.
This kind of rhythm was very common for saving the game in a moment of crisis, but in today's match, One Inch Ash had come too suddenly. That Dark Boundary was like an immortal flying from the heavens, catching everyone off guard. Sun Xiang and Jiang Botao had both been robbed of their vision by the Dark Boundary. It could be said that Qiao Yifan's Dark Boundary had largely resolved the crisis. Quickly casting another Ice Boundary and Silence Boundary didn't seem to be necessary.
"Isn't Qiao Yifan a bit too impatient?" Seeing that the fourth Ghost Boundary was about to be cast, Pan Lin couldn't help but ask.
"The situation is dangerous. As a rookie who's participating in the finals for the first time, it's unavoidable for him to panic." Li Yibo, on the other hand, was quite considerate as he spoke up for Qiao Yifan. However, the implication behind his words was that he agreed with Pan Lin's opinion.
"Li Xuan, what do you think?" When Qiao Yifan had cast three Ghost Boundaries, the pro players had already been discussing this problem. In the end, everyone pushed the problem to Li Xuan, the number one Phantom Demon in Glory.
"If it were me, one Dark Boundary would be enough." Li Xuan said. At first glance, it seemed that he had the same opinion as Pan Lin and Li Yibo. He didn't agree with Qiao Yifan's overly anxious tempo. But the pro players could hear the hidden meaning in Li Xuan's words.
Because he said, if it were me … …
But just as he finished speaking, Li Xuan's face immediately revealed a hesitant expression. After an "uh" for a bit, he added: "And then there's Xinjie."
And then there's Xinjie?
Of course, she was talking about Zhang Xinjie. Why would she mention him?
The pro players, on the other hand, quickly understood.
What Li Xuan meant was that he wanted to replace An Wenyi with Zhang Xinjie.
In other words, what he was trying to say was: If it was Ye Xiu and him on the field right now, with Zhang Xinjie on the field, then he would have the confidence to control the situation in a more rhythmic manner.
"Tch!!" The other contestants all looked at Li Xuan with disdain.
With the addition of Ye Xiu, Li Xuan, and Zhang Xinjie, they would not lose out to the trio of Sun Xiang, Jiang Botao, and Sun Xiang. On top of that, Zhang Xinjie was a Cleric. Their three-man team had the advantage in terms of class composition. In other words, Li Xuan felt that a single Dark Boundary was enough to stabilize the situation.
In other words, the two players on the field right now were Qiao Yifan and An Wenyi. Compared to the Golden Generation, these two rookies were lacking in skill and experience. With just the two of them supporting Ye Xiu, they might not be able to hold off Samsara's three top attackers.
As a result, Qiao Yifan didn't slowly play with the other side's rhythm and drag the battle into a positional battle. Instead, he quickly set up Ghost Boundaries one after another, sealing off Sun Xiang and Jiang Botao.
He wasn't aiming for a long-term stable control of the field. What he was aiming for was an instant burst of power.
Was this a lack of confidence? Of course not! Even the number one Phantom Demon, Li Xuan, couldn't guarantee that he would be able to control the field under the premise of "If it was me". He even had to drag in Zhang Xinjie.
It wasn't a lack of confidence. It was a careful consideration of the situation. After clearly recognizing his own strength, he came up with the most suitable plan.
As a result, amidst everyone's discussion, the dense Ghost Boundaries suddenly exploded. All sorts of Ghost God powers interweaved in the darkness, creating a storm of blood, desperately stealing Empty Waves' and One Leaf Of Autumn's health.
After the fifth Ghost Boundary was set down, Qiao Yifan immediately had One Inch Ash activate Ghost Feast, right before the first Ghost Boundary was about to disappear.
Nervous?
He wasn't nervous at all. The perfect combination of the fifth Ghost Boundary and Ghost Feast was the best proof. Those who thought that he had no choice but to set off the Ghost Boundaries were simply laughable in the eyes of the pro players.
They couldn't help but applaud Qiao Yifan.
His performance wasn't top-notch. His top-notch performance should still be using the Ghost Boundaries to control the overall situation.
But his performance was top-notch. In this current situation, in this situation, he was able to perform to the best of his ability. There was nothing more outstanding than this.
Beautiful, extremely beautiful!
His outstanding ability to see the big picture allowed him to clearly examine the situation from a holistic perspective. He had considered the difference in strength between himself and An Wenyi, as well as Ye Xiu's exhaustion after enduring a 1v3 for so long. Combining all of these factors, the final decision he made was so perfect that it made everyone gasp in amazement.
The pro players sighed in admiration. At the same time, they couldn't help but glance at Team Micrograss. Would Micrograss regret letting go of such an outstanding player so easily? Especially since Micrograss also had a Ghostblade in their lineup!
Zhou Yebai.
Micrograss's Ghostblade player was also a Phantom Demon. Right now, he was already regretting coming to watch this match. The other players were sizing him up, their gazes cutting into him like knives.
Qiao Yifan, this formerly invisible member of their team, had already grown to this level? He had even switched classes to a Phantom Demon, and he himself was a Phantom Demon. The pro players were constantly looking at them, brazenly expressing their regret at Micrograss for letting Qiao Yifan go. They treated him, the Micrograss Phantom Demon player, as invisible.
Zhou Yebai felt extremely uneasy. He really didn't want to admit that he couldn't compare to Qiao Yifan. But he knew that if he had that kind of confidence, he shouldn't be feeling uneasy right now. He shouldn't be feeling afraid. He was afraid that the team would compare him to Qiao Yifan like everyone else, thus denying his value and giving up on him like they had given up on Qiao Yifan …..
"Focus on the match."
A sudden voice interrupted Zhou Yebai's thoughts. He turned his head and saw their captain Wang Jiexi's stern expression.
Zhou Yebai suddenly relaxed. He no longer felt afraid. This was because he could feel that his captain wasn't affected by everyone's comparison at all. He was just expressing his dissatisfaction at his absent-mindedness.
They weren't here to watch the show. They were here to sit in the audience and feel the fiery atmosphere of the finals. They were here to personally watch the players' performances. They were here to improve themselves.
He really was thinking too much.
Qiao Yifan's performance was outstanding, but Qiao Yifan was outstanding, but Li Xuan was even more outstanding. The only difference between Qiao Yifan and Micrograss was that Qiao Yifan had a history with, but so what? The most important thing was to work hard to improve himself and do what he was supposed to do. Competition was everywhere in the pro scene. Qiao Yifan was just one of them. He was no different from any other player. He should have gotten used to this kind of competition a long time ago. He shouldn't have been timid or afraid. He should have been working hard to improve himself and be like Qiao Yifan, winning everyone's approval and applause.
This guy, he's actually making me a bit envious. How despicable!
Zhou Yebai no longer felt anxious about Qiao Yifan's performance. He used it as motivation. If this formerly invisible member could be so outstanding, why couldn't he?
Tidying up his mood, Zhou Yebai no longer let his imagination run wild. He once again focused on the match.
Activating the Ghost Feast naturally meant that he had given up on the control of the Ghost Boundaries. While the two were still being ravaged by the Ghost God's power, Qiao Yifan immediately had One Inch Ash retreat.
Shadow Clone Technique!
As soon as he saw One Inch Ash move, Ye Xiu immediately followed suit. While fighting with Zhou Zekai, Lord Grim completed a Shadow Clone Technique and teleported away with An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands.
Cloud Piercer gave chase, but Lord Grim simply slung the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella over his shoulder and opened it up. Like a rascal, he used it to cover his back and forcefully retreated.
Sharpshooters had fierce firepower, but they were lacking in terms of crowd control. They relied on their attacks to pin down their opponents. Now that they were being blocked by a shield, they couldn't do anything. In the blink of an eye, the two turned around the trash pile and walked out of Cloud Piercer's line of sight.
Zhou Zekai didn't give up just like that. By now, the Ghost Boundaries had been destroyed by the Ghost Feast. Jiang Botao and Sun Xiang would soon be back. It was time for them to regroup and counterattack. They couldn't give Happy too much time to catch his breath. Just like the pro players watching from the sidelines, Zhou Zekai could see the situation very clearly. Qiao Yifan's fast-paced burst meant that Happy didn't have much confidence in facing them head on. Thus, Samsara could rely on this opportunity to break through. Zhou Zekai had to keep an eye on his opponents.
Rushing to the edge of the trash pile, Cloud Piercer jumped up and used Aerial Fire to glide through the air. Soon, Lord Grim and Little Cold Hands, who had run away, returned to his line of sight. Zhou Zekai didn't have Cloud Piercer jump down from the trash pile. For a Sharpshooter, the trash pile's terrain was more advantageous.
Bang bang bang bang …
When he landed on a new pile of trash, Cloud Piercer's dual guns had already begun firing at Lord Grim and Little Cold Hands. On the other side, Jiang Botao and Sun Xiang had finally had their fill of the Ghost Feast. Their characters rushed out, the remnants of the Ghost God's power still lingering around their bodies. Looking at the direction Cloud Piercer had pointed them in, they gritted their teeth and rushed over.
Rising Dragon Soars the Sky!
Seeing Cloud Piercer's trajectory, Sun Xiang determined Happy's position. One Leaf Of Autumn directly used Evil Annihilation to send a Rising Dragon Soars The Sky towards the trash pile.
3v3, we're not afraid! Sun Xiang and Jiang Botao were also determined.
But the spectators, who had an omniscient view, really wanted to tell the two: 3v3? It probably won't be soon … Su Mucheng and Fang Rui will soon reach the trash pile.
