An Wenyi's skill wasn't the best, but his ability to judge the situation rationally was almost inhuman.
When Lu Boyuan saw that Du Ming had stayed behind to protect him from Fang Rui and Su Mucheng, he resisted the urge to rush back. As for An Wenyi? Right now, he was also being protected by Ye Xiu. Without any hesitation, he controlled Little Cold Hands to run away.
Ye Xiu was very pleased.
Chen Guo didn't like this trait of An Wenyi's, but Ye Xiu appreciated it. A healer needed to be this calm and rational. When he had first met An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands, what attracted Ye Xiu's attention was his precise judgment and precise grasp of timing. Later on, he realized that An Wenyi also had this trait. In Ye Xiu's eyes, it was like a buy one get one free.
An Wenyi didn't lose this trait after fighting so hard in the pro scene. Even if he was always seen as the hole in Happy's team, he didn't try to take advantage of the situation to gain a good impression.
He lived as a hole in Happy's team. An Wenyi didn't mind when Happy used this trait to set up a trap. Instead, he cooperated very seriously.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't embarrassed or worried about this situation. But his rationality told him that this was indeed a way to make him more useful, so he didn't have any objections. He didn't let these feelings affect him.
He constantly worked hard to improve himself, and in the process of improving, he did everything he could to make use of what he had. No matter if it was his strengths or weaknesses, he used the most suitable method to find a match with his team. If it wasn't for his ruthless rationality, it would have been very difficult for him to do this.
His rationality was the source of his true value.
Because of this rationality, he was able to train his skills and make Ye Xiu notice him among all the other players in the game.
Because of this reason, although he was not the strongest, he was the best at displaying himself. Regardless of his strengths or weaknesses, he was able to meet the needs of the team appropriately.
It was because of this rationality that he was able to remain unshaken despite being surrounded by controversy.
He persevered.
Two years ago, he was just a normal player in the Heavenly Domain. In Tyrannical Ambition's guild, he wasn't even in the elite group.
Two years later, he made it into the playoffs and eliminated the vice-captain of Team Tyranny, the number one Cleric in Glory, Zhang Xinjie. He then stood with his team in the finals, standing at the pinnacle of Glory.
An Wenyi was a super rational person, but what happened to him was a fact that sounded ridiculous.
All of this was not easy to come by, so he would cherish it even more. He would do his best to help the team obtain victory and cherish it.
Therefore, he completely ignored the life and death of Ye Xiu and Lord Grim. Little Ice-Cold Hands turned around and ran at lightning speed.
Because this was the best way for him to help Happy.
3v3?
Suddenly, he didn't feel that way anymore.
Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had taken a different route. An Wenyi's Little Ice-Cold Hands had originally retreated with Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, but as soon as he encountered danger, he actually abandoned Lord Grim and ran. In the blink of an eye, it was Ye Xiu facing off against Zhou Zekai, Jiang Botao, and Sun Xiang by himself.
For a moment, the three Samsara players were unable to digest this change. Based on their common sense, An Wenyi should have stayed behind to help Lord Grim and then waited for Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash to come to his aid, right?
Because of this, the three of them were already thinking of how to use this somewhat clumsy Cleric to torment Ye Xiu. Healers had to be protected.
But he directly abandoned Ye Xiu and ran away.
He had no common sense and no sense of loyalty. The three Samsara players felt bad. Not bad for Ye Xiu's situation, but for themselves. An Wenyi's Little Ice-Cold Hands ran away, so they had to face Ye Xiu again. The three of them faced Ye Xiu together. It was almost the same situation as before. They would rather have Little Ice-Cold Hands stay behind. They would rather have a 3v2. That way, they could use Little Ice-Cold Hands to pin down Ye Xiu. Wouldn't that be easier?
As a result, One Leaf Of Autumn rushed out.
Sun Xiang, who had been looking forward to surpassing Ye Xiu the most, ignored Ye Xiu. While Lord Grim was being suppressed by Cloud Piercer and Empty Waves, he had One Leaf Of Autumn chase after Little Ice-Cold Hands. The three Samsara players felt like this would give them the upper hand compared to directly attacking Ye Xiu's Lord Grim. Ye Xiu was too difficult to deal with.
But who would have thought that a cold light would suddenly flash out from behind the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was still there, but Lord Grim had unexpectedly flashed to One Leaf Of Autumn's side.
Shining Cut!
This time, Sun Xiang was unable to react in time and was struck head-on by the Shining Cut. Even though the attack didn't have much impact, it was so sudden that Sun Xiang wasn't prepared for it. One Leaf Of Autumn, who was moving at high speed, stumbled and crashed into a nearby pile of trash.
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao were also shocked. This kind of change was completely out of their expectations. Lord Grim had flashed to One Leaf Of Autumn's side. His weapon, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, had actually been left behind? He … had left his weapon behind?
Spirit Guidance?
This was the judgment a pro player should make after seeing a weapon being thrown away. But, impossible! Because Lord Grim had just used Shining Cut. Even though Spirit Guidance would throw the weapon away, it wouldn't be thrown away. The character would still be equipped with the weapon, so he couldn't use any skills outside of his class. More importantly, in this situation, he couldn't switch weapons.
But Lord Grim was clearly still holding onto his weapon. Without a weapon that suited his class, he obviously couldn't use Shining Cut.
Had he brought a second weapon?
Or could it be that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella could be split into two? One could be thrown away, while the other could continue to function as a weapon?
For a moment, they couldn't figure out what was going on, but the fact that the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had been thrown to the ground was an absolute fact. Jiang Botao reacted quickly. Empty Waves had already rushed forward without a care for anything else. Right now, the only thing in his eyes was the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. As long as he picked up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, wouldn't Lord Grim's unspecialized be completely useless?
Picking up an opponent's weapon in the middle of a match …
This had never happened in the Glory Pro League in the past ten years. No one knew if the rules of the competition had anything to say about this. Even someone as experienced as Li Yibo wasn't sure if this was allowed or not. He didn't know how to comment, but he didn't have time to comment.
Just as Jiang Botao's Empty Waves was about to reach the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, he had already aimed at the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and was about to pick it up. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's canopy suddenly flipped up. There was no "stab" motion. The flipped up canopy of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already stabbed into Empty Waves' body. Just like that, Lord Grim appeared in front of him.
Impossible, how could he be so fast!
Jiang Botao subconsciously looked to the side, but then he had already circled around. Lord Grim had used a Circle Swing.
At the same time, Jiang Botao saw another Lord Grim. He was standing where he had just cut down One Leaf Of Autumn, holding a dagger in his hand. It was Lord Grim.
Shadow Clone …
Shadow Clone Technique!
Jiang Botao's vision turned pitch-black.
Blind?
Nope.
Lord Grim's Circle Swing had sent Empty Waves head-first into a nearby trash heap, blocking his view.
The trash heap was loose, and half of Empty Waves' body had been sent into it. His two legs dangled in the air.
Samsara's fans wanted to laugh, but they couldn't. They only felt extremely embarrassed. The pro players didn't hold back though. They were laughing like crazy.
"This guy definitely did it on purpose!!" Chu Yunxiu pointed at Lord Grim on the big screen. He was so happy that he threw away his reservations.
Everyone agreed.
Throwing down the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to lure the enemy, using a Shining Cut to intercept One Leaf Of Autumn, retreating with a Shadow Clone Technique, and then using a Circle Swing to send Empty Waves into the trash heap. All of this had been calculated. Without absolute certainty, how could the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, Lord Grim's lifeline, be so casually thrown away in front of his opponent?
"But Senior Ye Xiu sure is daring …"
The rookies couldn't even laugh. They were all scared silly. Let alone a weapon like the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, they wouldn't even dare to use a normal piece of equipment like this in a match. This sort of method wasn't in any of the Glory philosophies they knew.
Even though they might have calculated everything clearly, a match was always full of coincidences. What if that Shining Cut hadn't hit One Leaf Of Autumn, and Sun Xiang had seized the opportunity to pin him down? What if when he used the Shadow Clone Technique, he hadn't finished forming the hand seals and was hit by Cloud Piercer?
Even though none of this had happened, just thinking about these possibilities for Ye Xiu made the rookies feel a lingering fear.
"That's why they say, the skilled are bold!" Someone sighed.
Was it just the skilled who were bold? Everyone was silent. They felt like these words weren't enough to describe Ye Xiu's actions. This wasn't just the skilled being bold. This was a gamble on the outcome of the match, on his future.
Was that moment really that important? Was there a need to stake everything on a single throw?
Everyone was shocked, laughed, but in the end, they still analyzed that moment from a normal match perspective. At this moment, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already rushed out, charging towards Cloud Piercer, who was standing on top of the trash pile. At the same time, the sound of cannonfire could be heard.
Su Mucheng!
Dancing Rain!
At this moment, she had finally arrived. Her super long-ranged attacks coordinated with Lord Grim's charge. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh Best Partners of the past four seasons had coordinated for the first time in this team competition.
