Double Stab!
Falling Flower Palm!
Circle Swing!
Along with the skills, magic chasers of various attributes danced in the air. Indescribable colors intertwined around the battle spear, creating a colorful scene that was very beautiful to look at.
As for Du Ming? He couldn't do anything about these attacks.
Vanishing Step's ingenuity lay in this. He could hide in the opponent's blind spot and attack. Even if Du Ming knew that he would be attacked, because he couldn't see, he couldn't make the correct decision. After being hit by several low-level skills, he was finally thrown to the ground by a Circle Swing. Several Chasers exploded on his Blade Master's body and his health immediately dropped by a chunk.
What kind of person is this!
At this moment, a trace of panic flashed through Du Ming's heart.
Vanishing Step wasn't a normal technique. It required a lot of experience as a foundation. Without a deep understanding of Glory, it was impossible to reach perfection. Du Ming wasn't sure how good this challenger's Vanishing Step was, but at the very least, he had been completely tricked by it twice.
If these weren't accidental hits, and this person had really been able to control and release it, then this person's Vanishing Step level was frightening.
His previous opponent was a noob who didn't even know how to use high-level skills.
And now, his opponent was an experienced expert who could even use Vanishing Step on him.
He couldn't be careless.
Du Ming's attitude became more and more serious. Even though this was still just a performance match at the All Star Weekend, because of what had happened before, Du Ming definitely couldn't afford to lose.
He immediately controlled his Blade Master, who had been thrown to the ground, to do a backflip and stand up. He didn't immediately rush forward to attack, but instead retreated. He jumped back twice in a row.
By retreating, it looked like he was running away and evading. Du Ming knew that this was a bit embarrassing. He could already hear a few boos.
However, running away was better than losing.
Du Ming already felt that this challenger wasn't simple. He definitely wasn't the normal player everyone thought he was. Before figuring out the opponent's depth, rushing to attack was undoubtedly a very reckless move.
He was known as a "Berserker", but this "Berserker" referred to his boldness, not how "arrogant" he was. Du Ming knew that he was only a slightly above average player in the pro scene. In the Glory circle, where there were so many players, maybe there really were pro-level players.
When he was fighting with Tang Rou, Du Ming had used all of his skills as a professional. But now, when he was facing Ye Xiu, he felt even more pressure. If he only relied on his skills, he would lose confidence. He even started to use some tactics.
Temporarily retreating, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge, and redirecting the situation was the best tactical choice at this time.
After Du Ming did this, he received some disdain from the audience. Many players had limited skill levels. For an advanced technique like Vanishing Step, let alone them, even pro players wouldn't be able to tell if a player was using Vanishing Step.
Right now, the pro players were able to make this judgment because they were watching the scene. From the many angles of the electronic screens, they came to this conclusion. If they just looked at the holographic projection, it was hard to say if they would be able to detect it.
When they heard some boos from the audience, the expressions of the pro players became more and more serious. Like Du Ming, they also felt that this challenger wasn't ordinary.
Some of them even began to size up their seats, wondering if one of them had sneaked off to have fun. In the end, after a round, all of the pro players were in their own teams. Apart from Du Ming, no one was missing.
What would happen next?
Under everyone's expectations, Du Ming chose to retreat. But his opponent, the second challenger's Battle Mage, immediately rushed forward.
His spear trembled and another Dragon's Teeth came out.
This guy clearly wasn't a rookie, but he was just like the beautiful rookie from before, only using these low-level skills. However, some of the Battle Mage pro players noticed that this Battle Mage's skill points weren't allocated properly. It was probably because the beautiful rookie didn't know any high-level skills, so she maxed out the low-level skills she was familiar with. As for the high-level skills, because she hadn't used them before, they didn't know what she was allocating.
Allocating skill points wasn't just for skill damage.
A skill's level didn't just increase damage.
Take the basic skill Sky Strike for example. The higher the level, the better the knock-up effect. When allocating skill points to this skill, almost no one was aiming for the damage increase. They were all aiming for the knock-up effect.
And at the pro player level, the details were even more subtle. Depending on the player's playstyle and skill level, the requirements for the knock-up effect would also be different. Some people might feel that a rank 7 Sky Strike's knock-up effect was enough, but others might feel that a rank 9 or 10 Sky Strike's knock-up effect wasn't enough.
All in all, the higher the skill level, the more details one could see.
And the Battle Mage in front of them didn't choose between low-level skills, whether it was offensive skills or Magic Chasers. He maxed them all out.
Although pro players didn't only allocate skill points based on damage, the higher the level, the higher the damage. These low-level skills were all maxed out, but in the hands of this Battle Mage, they couldn't be taken lightly. For example, the current Du Ming didn't dare use his Blade Master's low-level skills to recklessly compete with others. His account's skills weren't randomly allocated. They were allocated according to his usual habits. His skills were based on his own habits. There were trade-offs and combinations.
Du Ming didn't dare meet force with force, so he could only dodge.
As a result, a rather historic scene unfolded in this match. The "Berserker" Du Ming actually didn't receive any attacks from his opponent. In fact, he didn't even attack. Instead, he simply dodged and waited for an opportunity to strike.
This scene lasted for several minutes. Du Ming didn't even have an opportunity to counterattack. From start to finish, he was suppressed by his opponent's attacks.
At this moment, if the audience still couldn't see that this challenger wasn't normal, then they didn't understand Glory at all.
Even if this was an exhibition match, even if Du Ming was intentionally going easy, it shouldn't have been so exaggerated. From start to finish, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat. This was too unsightly!
"Why isn't Du Ming counterattacking?" The Samsara players who had a good relationship with Du Ming couldn't bear to watch anymore. They felt anxious for him.
"It's good to be a bit more cautious." One person said.
"He can't counterattack." Then, at the edge of their seats, Zhou Zekai suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Zhou Zekai.
Zhou Zekai slightly raised his head. He carefully looked at the screen. After a while, he said: "There's no chance."
"No chance?" The players who didn't see this were all surprised.
"Could it be that it's not that Du Ming doesn't want to counterattack, but that he can't?" One person said in surprise. Then, he immediately turned his gaze back to the match. He began to sweat for Du Ming. No chance … … This meant that this time, Du Ming was truly being suppressed. And this situation could last for so long. In other words, if the opponent didn't make a mistake, Du Ming wouldn't be able to find an opportunity to counterattack.
He could only sweat. As for Du Ming? His palms, his forehead, and even his back were all soaked in cold sweat.
At first, he was dodging and observing, hoping to find his opponent's path and flaws.
But after a few minutes, he found that he had no choice but to dodge. He could only continue to observe. At this moment, he couldn't think of any other way to deal with the opponent's attacks. Besides dodging, he couldn't think of any other way to deal with them.
Originally, this was a situation that he had intentionally created. But now, he couldn't think of a way to escape this situation.
His opponent's attacks were endless. A series of low-level skills mixed in with normal attacks continuously greeted him. From time to time, there would be magic chasers flying towards him.
Du Ming tried his best to find a way to break out of this situation, but there was none.
Maybe it was because he wasn't skilled enough. In any case, in this situation, he felt that continuing to dodge was the best way to deal with it.
But he couldn't dodge 100% of the attacks. He would always be hit by some of the attacks. Blood splattered everywhere as he dodged the attacks. It was a ghastly sight.
He definitely couldn't continue like this. He had to steel his heart and try!
Du Ming made a prompt decision. He decided to try a method that he didn't have much confidence in and wasn't optimistic about.
After making his decision, Du Ming immediately attacked. He used Dashing Stab. Two cold lights flashed from the tip of his sword.
"F * ck, this idiot. How is this going to work!" In the pro player seats, Huang Shaotian saw Du Ming use Dashing Stab and immediately sighed.
Then, he saw the opponent's Battle Mage use Dragon's Teeth. It was also a Level 5 skill like Dashing Stab.
"Don't say that the opponent's skill level is higher than his! Even if they're at the same level, Dashing Stab's priority isn't as high as Dragon's Teeth! Isn't using Dashing Stab just looking to die? "Huang Shaotian nagged. In the end, it was just as he said. Du Ming's Blade Master's two cold glints disappeared in an instant. The Battle Mage's spear had already stabbed into his chest.
The spear retreated, bringing with it a string of blood.
The short stun wasn't missed. A chain of attacks once again flew over. Du Ming's Blade Master was sent flying into the air. Once again, he was unable to find the direction of his opponent's attacks. However, this time, his opponent had changed his attack pattern. His last attack was a Falling Flower Palm.
Du Ming's Blade Master was sent flying. He hastily adjusted his body in the air, but his body suddenly trembled. He slammed into a wall behind him and then bounced forward.
Du Ming was startled. He saw the Battle Mage standing in front of him. The Battle Mage was standing to the side, holding a spear with both hands. The cold light on the tip of the spear seemed to be growing brighter.
Not good! Du Ming shouted in his heart.
