The emcee, who was running halfway, almost tripped and fell to the ground when he suddenly heard this. He felt like he had invited a wolf into his house.
But then he heard the director's surprised voice in his headphones, shouting at him, "F * ck, someone's finally coming up? Hurry and arrange for him to go up. My commercial's already been playing for five minutes!!! "
The host practically scrambled onto the stage. At this moment, Du Ming represented everyone in the audience and asked, "Who are you?"
"The main player's tired. I'm a substitute." Ye Xiu calmly replied.
The audience burst into laughter. Everyone was discussing whether or not this was a joke that the organizers had purposely arranged.
But at this moment, the host had already rushed onto the stage. With the lights on, he almost couldn't breathe, but he still decisively announced: "The second challenger is coming up."
The emcee wanted to fish in troubled waters and quickly end the two people in front of him. Even though he felt like this newcomer was someone who would mess around, he had a bad feeling about this. But no matter what, he had to take one step at a time!
As a result, the second challenger didn't even get a polite round of applause. The entire audience was still in a state of disbelief! They didn't even know how this person got onto the stage.
The pro players all had question marks above their heads. This year's All-Star event really was chaotic! Even they had an eye-opening experience.
"You over there, are you ready?" Ye Xiu was still talking.
"Why don't you enter the game ….." Du Ming was depressed. Now that it had come to this, he had no other choice. He couldn't just insist on dragging that beauty out, right? That way?
"Oh, sorry, wait a moment!" Ye Xiu said.
Then, they heard a voice coming from the stage.
"Give me your account card!"
"No, I'll do it!"
"Don't mess around ….. give it to me!"
"No ….."
Pa ….. Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. The speakers on the stage were turned off.
Pa ….. It seemed like it had been knocked open again. The sound of clashing could be heard.
"Haha, everyone, please wait a moment. It seems that our staff and this challenger have a little problem with the account card …" The host wiped his sweat and said nonsense. The crowd immediately booed.
"Should I go up and take a look …" The host muttered to himself, but the screen finally lit up. The Battle Mage had logged in.
"What kind of skill is this …" After hearing this sentence, a "pa" sound was heard. This time, the speaker switch was really turned off.
Du Ming was very gloomy. He felt that his luck was really bad today. He had gotten himself into so many messy situations. Just as he was feeling vexed, the other side had already logged in and was inviting him to battle.
Du Ming forced himself to accept it. No matter who his opponent was, he didn't dare to be careless. He hadn't been able to make up for the face he had lost earlier! This time, he couldn't make things worse.
The map was still randomly chosen. After the two accepted the match, they were immediately sent to the stage. The two characters immediately appeared in the two corners.
"Wow, this position is really good!" There was a window on the stage that allowed the players to see the full view of the holographic projection.
However, after admiring it for a bit, Ye Xiu's gaze returned to the computer screen. The players couldn't directly look at the holographic projection to complete their actions. A fixed position would bring a lot of dead ends.
On the other side of the map, Du Ming's Blade Master had already rushed up. He was already prepared to use the match to vent his depression. He didn't care what kind of challenger this was. Du Ming wasn't going to be polite.
"He's coming!" Tang Rou reminded Ye Xiu.
"Got it." Ye Xiu said, but he was still looking at his character's equipment and skills.
After watching several matches, Ye Xiu was able to roughly estimate the Battle Mage's stats and skills. Now that he was roughly looking at it, he confirmed his guess. This map wasn't very big. By the time Ye Xiu finished looking at it, Du Ming's Blade Master had already arrived in front of him.
The Blade Master, who had already been running, started with a Triple Slash, rushing towards Ye Xiu's Battle Mage at an even faster speed.
Tang Rou had already experienced this move several times. It wasn't hard to deal with, but she was curious as to how Ye Xiu would deal with it.
However, she saw that Ye Xiu didn't react at all.
When the first slash of the Triple Slash came down, Ye Xiu's Battle Mage didn't even move. The light from the sword brushed past his face, but he didn't receive any damage.
Du Ming was startled. He didn't know if this was a coincidence or if the opponent had completely seen through the distance of the attack. If the opponent had really seen through it … …
The Battle Mage had already taken a step to the right. Du Ming immediately knew that this wasn't a coincidence. With the distance between the two of them, the second slash of the Triple Slash wouldn't be able to reach this step.
And when the Battle Mage took this step, he raised his spear and used a Sky Strike.
Du Ming was also prepared for this. He immediately canceled his Triple Slash and hurriedly used Guard to block this Sky Strike. Who would have thought that when he used his mouse to block, he would feel that the angle of the Sky Strike was too tricky. He was afraid that his Guard wouldn't be able to block it.
"Poof!"
Sure enough, this Tian Ji was able to strike Du Ming's swordsman into the air before the blocking sword could reach him.
This was only the beginning of the match. Some of the audience members hadn't even gotten into the act yet, but the pro players all stared with wide eyes.
With one step, a low-level Sky Strike had accurately grasped Du Ming's opening and dealt a blow that he couldn't defend against.
An expert … … Many people couldn't help but have this thought in their minds.
However, making a conclusion with just one move was a bit arbitrary. After being surprised, the pro players put away their banter and began to seriously watch the match.
Du Ming, who had been sent into the air by the Sky Strike, didn't immediately lose his composure. He was very focused on this match. While in the air, he quickly adjusted his position and used a Falling Light Blade to forcefully twist his character down.
However, when he landed on the ground, the Battle Mage had disappeared without a trace. The audience had clearly seen that in the instant the Falling Light Blade flashed, the Battle Mage had circled around behind him. And the more insightful pro players discovered that the Battle Mage had avoided the Blade Master's line of sight. It was a movement that Du Ming hadn't noticed.
"It's Vanishing Step!!" Quite a few people cried out.
"Who is this person?" Everyone looked at each other in dismay. These two high-level moves made the pro players once again confirm this person's identity as an expert. Right now, everyone was no longer looking at the stage's holographic projection. Instead, they were looking at the broadcast screen.
The holographic projection was beautiful, but the seats were fixed, which meant that the viewing angle was fixed. Right now, the pro players needed to understand the second challenger's strength from different angles.
Du Ming wasn't some noob. After using Falling Light Blade, he saw that there was no one in front of him and immediately determined that the opponent was behind him. He immediately rolled forward, turned 180 degrees, and used a Sword Draw.
This move was incomparably smooth. The audience was already prepared to applaud, but then they saw the Battle Mage charge forward, facing the sword energy of the Sword Draw. Just when everyone thought that he would definitely be hit by the sword energy, he passed through the sword energy. Taking advantage of the Blade Master's Sword Draw's ending animation, he closed in and stabbed with Dragon's Teeth.
The audience, who had been about to applaud, was immediately stunned.
Speaking of which, Ye Xiu's previous movements, Sky Strike and Vanishing Step, were too detailed. With the skill level of normal players, it was impossible to see how powerful they were. However, this time, the Sword Draw that passed through was quite straightforward. This was because quite a few people knew how this move worked. The sword energy that the Battle Mage passed through was actually the remnant of the Sword Draw. During the time he passed through, the sword energy had already lost its damage.
However, grasping this timing was quite difficult. If it was too early, the damage would still be there, so he would naturally be hit. If it was too late, even though he wouldn't be hit, he wouldn't be able to make it in time for the Sword Draw's ending animation. Sword Draw was also a low-level skill. The ending animation only lasted for a short moment, so it wasn't easy to grab hold of it.
However, this challenger actually managed to pull off such a difficult move. Dragon's Teeth didn't make the Blade Master react at all. Without a doubt, it wasn't that Du Ming didn't want to dodge. It was just that he couldn't dodge in time for the Sword Draw's ending animation.
This time's brilliance wasn't something that only pro players could see.
But ….. should they still applaud?
The hands that had originally been raised for Du Ming's Sword Draw were now suspended in midair.
The challenger's play wasn't fake, but the opponent he was attacking was the one the home crowd supported, so they were a bit stingy with their applause.
However, there were still some people who didn't care about this and immediately applauded the brilliance of the match.
For example, Chen Guo ….. She wasn't a fan of Samsara in the first place. She also knew that the opponent was definitely Ye Xiu, so what did she have to worry about? She definitely supported him! When Dragon's Teeth stabbed, she cheered and applauded as if Du Ming had been instantly killed.
The Blade Master, who had been hit by Dragon's Teeth, was stunned again. Ye Xiu followed up with a Sky Strike.
The Blade Master was once again knocked into the air, but his Falling Light Blade's cooldown hadn't finished yet, so he couldn't use the same trick again. He could only hastily adjust his view to see what the other side was going to do.
But no one …..
"It's Vanishing Step ….." At this moment, Du Ming realized it.
He wanted to cry. He had already realized that this was yet another extremely difficult opponent. What was going on with this Challenger League? The players that appeared were all unexpectedly strong, and he had to face them all. If this guy could even use Vanishing Step, then he definitely wasn't some abnormal newbie. This was a true expert!
