Lu Boyuan left the stage.
His performance today couldn't be said to be terrible, but it wasn't good either. All he had done was beat Fang Rui, who only had 53% of his health left. Against Tang Rou, there was no difference between him and an instant kill.
However, Samsara was still in the lead. The Samsara fans in the stadium didn't blame him too much. There was still some applause, which could be counted as encouragement and consolation.
However, this couldn't cover up Lu Boyuan's poor condition.
He hadn't played well in the previous match. Today, he had put in a lot of effort, but in the end, his performance was still very different from what he had expected.
What's going on?
Lu Boyuan felt as if he had lost his sense of direction. It was as if he couldn't find the right mood for a match.
He silently returned to the player bench. Faced with his teammates' consolation, he could only squeeze out a smile.
The match still had to continue. Du Ming was ready to go. Before he went onstage, he couldn't help but glance towards Happy's bench. Of course, he didn't see the figure that he had been watching from afar.
Because she was onstage!
Du Ming was a little excited. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Today, he finally had the chance.
Du Ming hadn't forgotten their last confrontation. He and Tang Rou had only had a pitiful interaction. There wasn't much for him to remember.
In that confrontation, he had been half-hearted and distracted. In the end, he had been completely defeated by Tang Rou, who had been focused on the match.
Du Ming was extremely ashamed.
He had let down his team, and even more so, let down this rare encounter.
As a result, he looked forward to another opportunity like this. He had to face it with the most professional attitude possible. He also had to focus on the match. He had to use victory to complete a wonderful conversation.
Du Ming walked onto the stage and into the player booth.
The eighth round of the group arena began. Samsara's Du Ming versus Happy's Tang Rou.
The map loaded. The characters loaded.
Charge!
Han Yanrou, Moon Luring Frost.
The characters representing the two charged out without any hesitation. They quickly met in the middle of the canyon.
Their advancing steps didn't stop. The two characters charged straight at each other.
The sword rose and the spear struck, colliding with each other!
Their voices echoed through the canyon. The two characters made their first attacks at practically the same time. Then, they adjusted their attacks and in the end, they fiercely clashed together, forming a parry.
This was followed by a second, third, and fourth strike!
Sounds of collisions rang out incessantly. Both of them were using speed to fight speed. As soon as they came up, they began to fiercely attack each other.
"You're in good shape."
On Samsara's side, everyone was paying attention to Du Ming's performance. They were very satisfied with his pace and offense.
"My dream has come true. How can I not work hard?" Fang Minghua laughed.
Everyone nodded in agreement. In this finals, Du Ming's performance was exceptionally outstanding. Obviously, it had something to do with his opponent, Happy.
Under the gaze of the girl he admired, this time, Du Ming was not as distracted as before. He turned this attention into extra motivation. As a result, he was always able to perform at his best, which was why Samsara was always able to safely send him onstage.
And now, he was once again facing Tang Rou onstage. He didn't think about the last time they met, or the time before that, or any of their interactions.
In his eyes, there was only the match. In his heart, there was only victory and defeat.
His focus became extremely focused. Perhaps it was the most focused he had ever been in his professional career.
Some of the situations that he normally couldn't see clearly and couldn't grasp were now clear in Du Ming's eyes.
He grasped onto a fleeting opportunity.
Downwind Sword Slash!
The sharp sword wind came so suddenly. The two characters, who had been fighting so closely, suddenly seemed to be torn apart. In her haste, Tang Rou could only have Han Yanrou swing her spear and parry with a normal attack. This was completely unable to block the power of Downwind Sword Slash. Dancing Fire Flowing Flame was knocked aside by this slash. Han Yanrou was already retreating, but she still couldn't escape the sword light!
Blood flew out, covering the sword light.
Tang Rou was able to respond to this attack to the greatest extent possible, reducing the damage as much as possible.
But the previously balanced situation had been disrupted. Sword light flashed, Triple Slash!
Moon Luring Frost suddenly appeared next to Han Yanrou. This was only the second slash of Triple Slash.
"Amazing!" Even the Blade Master expert Huang Shaotian couldn't help but exclaim. The distance, angle, and timing of this attack were all impeccable. There was no way to dodge this attack. No matter how fast Tang Rou's reaction speed was, it was impossible.
Another wound was added. Du Ming had completely established the initiative. Sword light flashed, mercilessly slashing towards Han Yanrou.
The Samsara fans in the stadium were excited. Their previous gloominess was swept away. In an instant, they were back to the time when Zhou Zekai swept through his opponents in a spurt of energy!
They began to wave their arms, they began to shout, they began to cheer for Du Ming.
"Take him down in one wave!!!"
They shouted the slogan. This beautiful anticipation was the best response to Lu Boyuan's quick and easy defeat in the previous round.
But …
"Take him down in one wave …"
They had only shouted the second time. By the third word, they couldn't continue.
Han Yanrou pointed her Dancing Fire Flowing Flame towards the sky. A Furious Dragon Strikes the Heart pierced through Moon Luring Frost's offense.
Even the pro players were dumbstruck. They discovered that this match was already impossible to predict. No one knew what these two could do. Their conditions had already surpassed their own. Du Ming was strong, but Tang Rou was even stronger. While everyone was thinking about how to escape, she used a single attack to completely change the situation. She used a single attack to start her offense.
This wasn't normal.
This wasn't something that could be explained by experience or logic in a normal match.
The stadium's big screen showed a replay of the Furious Dragon Strikes the Heart. But even the pro players had to frown. How did this attack come about? How did it achieve such an effect?
The match wouldn't stop just because they were thinking. Next, it was time for Tang Rou to launch her offense. Then, it was time for Du Ming's Moon Luring Frost to retreat step by step. The advantage he had just gained was instantly regained by his opponent.
Du Ming didn't panic. He calmly observed the situation.
His offense had been cut off, but it didn't matter. He could just find it again!
Du Ming's mind was resolute. At this moment, he had no distractions. Even though this state of mind was due to his crush on Tang Rou, at this moment, he didn't feel anything for her. All of his emotions had been transformed into an obsession to win this match.
Moon-Luring Frost's Ice Shards, which was the direct opposite of the fire element, continued to unleash a torrent of fiery attacks from the Fire Dancing Flowing Flames. Moon-Luring Frost continued to unleash his Ice Shards.
It seemed as if it was just pacing back and forth, but it would always appear in the most dangerous places. It was like a firefighter, constantly reducing the heat of Dancing Fire Flowing Flame's attacks.
It was waiting for an opportunity.
This time was long, but it was also short. But it would come eventually.
Formless Phantom Blade!
Ice Dregs' sword light suddenly exploded. Du Ming's calmness finally paid off. He found an opening and used the Level 70 skill, Formless Phantom Blade.
The sword light formed a net, instantly enveloping Han Yanrou.
Her offense was cut off.
But Han Yanrou didn't retreat!
Since her offense had been cut off, then she would start anew.
Hundred Dragon Meteor Strike!
Han Yanrou also used a high-level skill. She could rapidly launch a flurry of attacks. Under Tang Rou's control, the attacks converged on the center and fiercely collided with Moon Luring Frost's Formless Phantom Blade!
The crisp sounds of weapons clashing rang out incessantly.
Under the inconceivable control of the two players, these two similar skills collided. Neither side gained the upper hand.
However, the experts had already realized that this balance would not last until the end.
Because of the final attack!
Formless Phantom Blade had the final attack. It dealt the most damage, had the highest attack power, had the highest priority, and had a knockback effect. The final attack of Hundred Dragon Meteor Strike didn't have such a tyrannical effect.
This was because the final attack of Formless Phantom Blade's priority had reached a new height. It wasn't something that Hundred Dragon Meteor Strike could block. However, the ending of the Hundred Dragon Meteor Strike was much faster than the ending of the Formless Phantom Blade.
The outcome of this clash would depend on how the two sides handled the final attack. And that moment was about to arrive!
