Qiao Yifan watched the match, while feeling his way back to Team Micrograss's seat.
"Yifan!" Apart from Gao Yingjie, who called out in surprise, the others only glanced at him.
If it was before, Qiao Yifan would definitely feel ashamed, but after going in and out, his state of mind was completely different. He already felt that the team's coldness and disdain towards him was no longer important. As long as he had enough strength, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a place to go.
"I went to the bathroom." Qiao Yifan said to Gao Yingjie with a smile, while silently sitting next to Gao Yingjie, in his original seat.
"Tang Hao is challenging Lin Jingyan! It's very impolite of them to say that they're going to subdue their seniors right from the start. They're all using their own accounts. They're all really angry. "As soon as Qiao Yifan sat down, Gao Yingjie quickly explained the situation of the match to him.
"Yes yes." Qiao Yifan nodded his head and immediately began to seriously watch the match. In his heart, he felt a bit grateful. He was very clear that his good friend wasn't telling him this simply to fill in the gaps in the story. He wanted to say something to help distract Qiao Yifan. It was clear that no matter who it was, they wouldn't be happy about that loss. Gao Yingjie was a very shy person. He couldn't say those direct words of comfort, so he could only use this kind of method to help distract Qiao Yifan.
There were quite a few voices in the pro player seats, some of which reached Qiao Yifan's ears. Everyone was talking about the match in front of them. Quite a few people compared it to the match between Gao Yingjie and Wang Jiexi.
It was clear that this year's Rookie Challenge was a bit different. Gao Yingjie and Wang Jiexi had fought for real, and in the end, the rookie had unceremoniously defeated the senior captain.
And this match was between Tang Hao and Lin Jingyan. From Tang Hao's attitude at the start, everyone knew that this was going to be a good show. Sure enough, as soon as the battle started, the two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle, without the slightest intention of backing down. Tang Hao's words were already very harsh. If Lin Jingyan still made concessions at this time, it would obviously not be seen as a gentleman. If he wanted to back down, he would have to at least beat Tang Hao into submission. Then, he would have to give Tang Hao a way out. That would make him look gentlemanly.
However, this was only an ideal situation. Tang Hao was not an ordinary rookie. In any other world, such a rookie would not even bother to participate in this Challenge Tournament as a rookie. In their hearts, they felt that they were already on the same level as the senior experts.
However, the Alliance really hoped to have such high-level rookies participate in the Challenger League. It was precisely because of this consideration that the rookies' eligibility period was set to two years.
Tang Hao's actions were somewhat inconsistent with the usual style of the Rookie Challenge, but it was definitely more eye-catching. This could be seen from the waves of cheers coming from the audience. This time, the atmosphere was far more enthusiastic than any of the previous matches.
The reporters, who originally thought that Gao Yingjie's defeat against Wang Jiexi would be the biggest headline of the night, once again raised their spirits.
Gao Yingjie's defeat of Wang Jiexi was indeed a gimmick, but that genius rookie's submissive appearance wasn't a very suitable topic of discussion. How could it compare to Tang Hao's "the junior succeeds the senior"?
The reporters admired the match. Quite a few of them had already begun writing their drafts. The battle was intense, but as long as it was an experienced Glory player, they could see that Lin Jingyan's situation wasn't looking good.
The former King of Brawlers had long since declined. This was an indisputable fact. Even though Demon Subduer's character was stronger than Tang Hao's Delillo, he was still at a disadvantage in this confrontation.
Tang Hao's reactions were faster and his movements were faster. From the very beginning, he had taken the initiative to attack. Tang Hao's reactions and movements no longer had this sharpness. He was only relying on his experience to contend with Tang Hao. He already knew very clearly that in this match, let alone winning gracefully, being able to retreat unscathed was already an extravagant hope.
His only hope was that Tang Hao would make a mistake.
A rookie with less than two years of experience wouldn't be surprised if he made a mistake. The experienced Lin Jingyan did his best to sustain the match and prolong the time, hoping to catch more of Tang Hao's mistakes and counterattack. In a direct confrontation, he was already feeling a bit powerless.
Lin Jingyan had already adopted the best response he could, but the result still didn't develop in the direction he had hoped for.
Tang Hao obviously made a few mistakes, but his reactions were very fast and he made up for them quickly. Lin Jingyan saw half of his mistakes and wanted to catch them, but Tang Hao quickly made up for them.
He managed to catch some of the remaining attacks, but the damage he received from his counterattack was not proportionate to the damage Tang Hao inflicted on him.
Lin Jingyan knew that he was too slow. There were too many openings that he saw, but couldn't catch. He could only watch as Tang Hao made up for them. There were too many openings that he caught, but couldn't perfectly utilize. Tang Hao's faster movements always quickly neutralized his counterattacks.
Was there no chance?
That was what many people were thinking. However, the perseverance of a veteran wouldn't allow him to give up too early. Lin Jingyan was still persevering and waiting. No one knew the result until the last moment. Perhaps an even more fatal mistake was waiting for him. It was still too early to give up now.
The match continued.
The junior succeeds the senior. This theme seemed to have been achieved quite perfectly.
Tang Hao and Lin Jingyan were not home players, but the number of fans in the audience was about the same. After all, Tang Hao was a rookie, unlike Gao Yingjie and Qiao Yifan who had never participated in an official match. His god-like performance this season had quickly gathered a lot of popularity for him.
From the cheers of both sides' supporters, it was clear that the two players were in a favorable situation.
Lin Jingyan's side was even more cheering, encouraging, and encouraging.
As for Tang Hao's side? The fans were already crazily shouting and shouting. There wasn't any substantive content to it. They had already entered a state of revelry.
Tang Hao's wild attacks also seemed even wilder. The Brawler class wasn't a straightforward offensive character. Brick, Sand Toss, Poison Smear, these skills, just from the names of these skills, people could tell that this class was dirty. But at this moment, Tang Hao's Delillo almost made people think that he was the fiercest Striker in the Fighting Department.
Attack, attack, attack. He continuously attacked.
Wait, wait, wait. He patiently waited.
The emotions of the outside fans didn't affect a veteran like Lin Jingyan. He was still patiently waiting for that mistake that he didn't know would occur.
Got it!
Just as his health entered the red zone, Lin Jingyan's eyes lit up. Tang Hao, who had been wildly attacking, had finally failed to keep up with one of his controls, revealing a huge opening. For a match that was nearing its end, although this opening wasn't enough to completely reverse the situation, it could be the beginning of a reversal.
Lin Jingyan didn't think too much about it. Seizing this opportunity, his Demon Subduer had already fiercely attacked.
Demon Subduer reached out with his right hand and used a Strangle, directly grabbing at Tang Hao's Delillo.
However, Tang Hao, who shouldn't have seen this attack, seemed to have known that it would happen. Delillo suddenly moved to the side.
Lin Jingyan was startled. Just as he was about to adjust, the screen in front of him went black. Delillo had already raised his legs and fiercely slammed his knees into Demon Subduer's head.
Brawler skill: Powerful Knee Strike.
Lin Jingyan knew that the situation wasn't good. The opponent was so prepared. Was that opening from before just a trap?
[Powerful Knee Strike] wasn't enough to knock down the opponent, but the instant Delillo flew past Demon Subduer, he extended his arm to block him and used [Tiger Flips the Mountain]. This time, Demon Subduer was finally knocked down.
Delillo followed with a flip. His movements were half a second faster than Lin Jingyan's Quick Recover. Demon Subduer didn't have time to get up and was pushed to the ground by Delillo, whose fists rained down.
Brawler skill: Tyrannical Chain Punch.
Lin Jingyan, who couldn't be more familiar with Brawlers, knew exactly how much damage this skill would deal. He looked at his own health again. This time, he didn't hold any hope.
Under Tang Hao's crazy control, this Tyrannical Chain Punch came out even faster and more often. After this round, Demon Subduer's health finally ran out. He couldn't stand up anymore. As the word "Glory" flashed, the host was already shouting loudly to announce the final winner.
Bottom against top. Perfect.
The media only needed more gimmicks. They wouldn't lean towards either side because of their personal feelings.
The two players walked down the stage and shook hands in the middle of the stage.
"Not bad …" Lin Jingyan did his best to maintain a smile. After so many years of fighting in the pro scene, he was already used to not revealing his true feelings.
"The junior succeeds the senior." Tang Hao grasped Lin Jingyan's hand and smiled as he said the same words.
Even the host to the side felt that this was a bit awkward. He was about to come over and interrupt, but the handshake had already ended. Tang Hao stood perfectly straight. After raising both his hands to salute the audience, he turned around and walked down the stage.
The host looked at Lin Jingyan somewhat pitifully. He didn't know what to do.
Lin Jingyan still smiled at the host. Then, he waved his hands to the audience and silently walked down the stage. To a normal person, he wasn't old at all. However, in the eSports arena, his back view made people feel that he was staggering.
The pro players all looked at each other in dismay. Tang Hao's actions were the biggest challenge to tradition. Even though Gao Yingjie had defeated his captain, he hadn't done anything disrespectful from start to finish.
While everyone was still discussing, the commentator struck while the iron was hot and announced the next match.
Rookie Challenger: Team Excellent Era, Sun Xiang.
Challenged: Team Tyranny, Han Wenqing.
Then, the commentator excitedly announced that in this match, the rookie also requested to use a pro account.
The audience's screams and cheers almost overturned the stadium.
This time, the value of this request was far greater than that of the previous one.
Tang Hao's Delillo was only a normal character in the pro scene. Lin Jingyan's Demon Subduer was known as the number one Brawler, but it wasn't a God-level account. However, Sun Xiang and Han Wenqing's accounts were very different.
Battle God, One Leaf Of Autumn.
King of Fighting, Desert Dust.
These were two God-level characters that had been fighting ever since the creation of the Glory Alliance.
