"What a pity!" Seeing that Tang Rou's Neutral Chaser hadn't hit, quite a few of the pro players were sighing.
"If she hadn't used Dragon's Teeth and had used Rising Dragon Soars the Sky instead, Du Ming would've been screwed."
"That's right, this beauty's controls are really fast! If she had used Rising Dragon Soars the Sky, she would've definitely hit. "
"She really is a noob? She didn't use any of her Level 40 and above skills. I really have to hand it to her ….. "
The originally holiday-like All Star Weekend was a rare occasion for the pro players to have a serious discussion. Although the discussion was conducted by the squadrons, the words spoken were astonishingly consistent. Everyone could see that because Tang Rou hadn't used any high level skills, she had missed an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Du Ming.
And as the pro players discussed, the audience's emotions were gradually stirred up.
They had originally thought that after the Sword Draw hit, followed by Rising Dragon Slash and then Falling Phoenix Slash, Tang Rou's Battle Mage would've been crippled by Du Ming's combo. No one had thought that Tang Rou would still be able to Quick Recover after being hit by Falling Phoenix Slash.
It had to be known that Falling Phoenix Slash was like a meteor falling to the ground. It was extremely fast. To be able to Quick Recover in this situation was something that normal players didn't dare to imagine.
After successfully Quick Recover, she immediately counterattacked. After several exchanges, it was actually Du Ming who was on the defensive. The audience's emotions were immediately stirred up.
In addition, those who could see that Tang Rou had missed a good opportunity weren't limited to the pro players. After all, the previous situation hadn't been that complicated. Any player with a bit of experience and insight would be able to make that judgment.
Even if they didn't see it, they would quickly understand. Because there was a commentator ….. the commentator had clearly commented that Tang Rou had missed a good opportunity.
"Ah, why didn't she use Rising Dragon Soars the Sky!" Chen Guo was also an experienced player. She had also noticed the previous situation and said regretfully.
"Rising Dragon Soars the Sky ….. she probably doesn't know how to use it, right?" Ye Xiu said.
"Oh ….. I forgot." Chen Guo suddenly understood.
"Do you think Little Tang has a chance to win?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu.
"You... Don't underestimate pro players!" Ye Xiu said.
Just as he finished speaking, the situation on the field had already reversed.
Tang Rou attacked Du Ming several times in a row, but she couldn't do anything to him. Soon, Du Ming seized the opportunity and took back the initiative. After a series of small skills and normal attacks, the inexperienced Tang Rou was lured into a trap. Amidst the sighs of many pro players, she was hit by Du Ming's Level 70 Blade Master skill, "Formless Phantom Blade".
Tang Rou's Battle Mage's body was covered in blood. The screen quickly displayed the combo sequence of this attack.
Formless Phantom Blade was a skill that relied entirely on the player's control to achieve a complete combo. The higher the combo, the greater the damage. The current record was 13 strikes. In the pro circle, many Blade Masters had already reached this number, but no one had broken past the 14th strike.
In order to reach this seemingly limitless combo, the distance and angle of the attack had to be taken into account. And from the first strike to the thirteenth strike, it only took a few seconds.
Du Ming's Formless Phantom Blade ended up with a 10 hit combo. However, because of Tang Rou's extremely fast reaction speed, she still managed to dodge a bit when she had no other choice. This resulted in Du Ming's final attack not being at the optimal distance and angle. Barely managing to complete a 10 hit combo was already pretty good.
The final strike of Formless Phantom Blade was an extremely powerful blow away attack. This strike was very crucial. If this strike didn't hit, then the one second of cooldown time would be enough for the opponent to recover all of the damage they had received.
A pro player like Du Ming obviously wouldn't make a mistake in this crucial strike. After the final strike, Tang Rou's Battle Mage immediately floated away.
Tang Rou's Quick Recover was completed smoothly. At this moment, her opponent had barely lost any health, while her Battle Mage had already lost a fifth of her health.
The current Tang Rou wasn't the same as before. There was a gap between the two of them, and she was well aware of it. Especially when she had been hit by that powerful attack. She had been completely toyed with by her opponent. It was as if her opponent knew exactly what she was going to do. Strike after strike, he had led her into that situation, and then she had no choice but to take that fierce attack.
If you wanted to surpass your opponent, you had to at least know where the gap was.
Tang Rou had always remembered what Ye Xiu had said, but now, she discovered that the gap between her and these pro players made her feel helpless.
Experience! This was the biggest gap between the two of them.
Tang Rou's newbie battle experience wasn't enough in front of these pro players. They could easily see through her intentions and destroy her plans. And then? He could easily lure her into his trap.
"He really is a noob ….."
Just as Tang Rou was examining the gap between them, the pro players' discussion began again.
Tang Rou was a newbie. In the face of a pro player like Du Ming, this fact was finally exposed. If it was said that they had some doubts before, now they were completely convinced.
However, this conviction made Tang Rou even more valuable.
How would this noob deal with this situation? Everyone was filled with anticipation.
Tang Rou moved!
Even though she clearly knew the gap between them, when Du Ming rushed forward, she still rushed forward without hesitation.
Dragon's Teeth!
This time, Tang Rou acted first. Her Battle Mage stabbed forward with Dragon's Teeth.
Sky Strike!
Double Stab!
Circle Swing!
Falling Flower Palm!
Just like before, he only had a pitiful number of low-level skills, with a few normal attacks in between, which he used in succession.
Du Ming calmly dodged the attacks and was prepared to find an opening to counterattack.
An opening appeared!
Tang Rou's attack missed by two body lengths, stabbing into the air. Du Ming took advantage of this opportunity and pulled out his sword!
"Pu!"
The sound of an attack.
Du Ming was shocked to discover that the one who had been hit wasn't him, but himself. The spear that had stabbed into the air had turned around at some point and stabbed into his body.
This was only a normal attack, so the damage wasn't high, but it was completely out of Du Ming's expectations.
Tang Rou's attacks continued. Du Ming gradually felt the pressure. He could clearly feel that his opponent's attacks were getting faster and faster.
"She's increasing her hand speed!" The pro players naturally noticed this and began discussing it. They were shocked to discover that Tang Rou's hand speed wasn't her limit. Now, her attack rhythm was getting faster and faster.
"She's still hiding her strength!" Someone sighed.
"No ….. She's not hiding her strength ….." Someone said in a serious tone.
"Even though her attacks are fast ….. there's no order to them." Many of the experts who were watching carefully discovered this.
When the contestants who hadn't realized this yet looked again, they immediately realized this as well. The current Tang Rou didn't seem to have any thought process in her attacks. She just used whatever she had. When there wasn't anything else, she would just use normal attacks.
This was a complete noob's playstyle. She didn't have any awareness, she didn't make any decisions. She just saw where her opponent was and attacked there.
This type of playstyle shouldn't have any power, but right now, it completely suppressed Du Ming.
Because of her hand speed!
In terms of hand speed, Tang Rou had already reached the level of a pro player, but her accuracy was lacking. In order to ensure accuracy, she could only slow down her hand speed. But at this moment, she didn't care about this. She just did her best and used all the attacking methods she could use in the fastest way possible.
"This hand speed ….. how fast is it?"
"That's hard to say ….. so many useless moves ….."
The pro players were speechless. When they talked about hand speed, they were usually talking about effective moves. But right now, Tang Rou didn't care about that. Fast, fast, fast, she only wanted to be fast! With her hand speed skyrocketing, she didn't know how many times her attacks hit the air. She didn't know how many times she rushed over her head. And then, she had to make up for these mistakes. Who knew how many moves she made were wasted. But this type of playstyle made it so that Du Ming couldn't find any openings.
The opportunities he saw would always disappear in the blink of an eye.
"So strong!" Chen Guo was stunned.
"So smart!" Ye Xiu was smiling.
"What?"
"She finally realized where the gap was, so she thought of a way to avoid it." Ye Xiu said.
"What?"
"She's fighting by the book. Because of her lack of experience, she can't take the initiative. So she didn't think too much about it. Right now, she's just using all the attacks she can and using her fastest speed to attack her opponent. Because of her extraordinary hand speed, this noob's random attacks seem quite powerful. "Ye Xiu smiled.
"So you're saying that Little Tang can win?" Chen Guo was pleasantly surprised.
"I'm afraid she can't." Ye Xiu sighed.
"Why not?"
"Because she'll get tired ….. How long can she keep this up?" Ye Xiu said.
Ye Xiu wasn't the only one who saw this point. All of the pro players were seriously paying attention to this match, analyzing and discussing the situation. After Tang Rou's explosive hand speed, they saw the limits of her skill. But no one knew better than the pro players how difficult it was to maintain this kind of hand speed.
In the end, this kind of explosive hand speed had to overcome her own fatigue.
Du Ming was also a pro player, so he also understood this point. He was known as a "Berserker", but now that he was being suppressed in such a messy manner, he felt very depressed. But he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't predict his opponent's intentions because she was just randomly attacking. He also couldn't attack her because he had to admit that in terms of hand speed, he couldn't compare to this amateur spectator.
"This noob really does have some skill. But with this kind of attack, how long can you last?" Du Ming thought to himself as he looked at his character's health.
