"Who are you talking about?" Chen Guo didn't understand what he was saying. In reality, for very young esports players, anyone could be considered a "young person," even Ye Xiu, who was so "old" that he was about to retire. For Ye Xiu to call someone a "young person," Chen Guo really couldn't tell if he was talking about Gao Yingjie or Yu Feng. In her heart, she even thought that he was talking about Yu Feng more. In Chen Guo's eyes, Gao Yingjie was so young that he couldn't even be called a "young person."
"Talking about the future of Glory!" Ye Xiu still looked like he was talking to himself.
"What kind of nonsense is this …" Chen Guo muttered to herself.
"That kid Yu Feng is playing with more and more substance now," Ye Xiu said again.
"He wasn't weak to begin with, I say!" Chen Guo said. She had a certain understanding of Yu Feng. He was an All Star player. Normally, he would be at the top of the Glory scene. For famous players, even if they weren't fans, because of the exposure and coverage, they would still forcefully spread their information to others.
"He wasn't in last year's All Stars, right? He's improved a lot this year, "Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, really?" Chen Guo thought back. Last year's All-Star players … … she really couldn't remember them in detail.
"In my opinion, Blue Rain's environment is the best out of all the teams," Ye Xiu said.
"What about Micrograss?" Chen Guo couldn't help but ask. After all, Micrograss had produced Gao Yingjie, an unparalleled genius in his age group.
"Micrograss … maybe because of their status as a champion team, their requirements for rookies are a bit too harsh," Ye Xiu sighed. He thought of Qiao Yifan. Although Qiao Yifan was not as dazzling as Gao Yingjie, he was still a piece of unpolished jade. If he was carefully sculpted, he could become something. Micrograss must have thought highly of him if they were able to recruit him into the team. However, they did not train him carefully. It was a pity.
Even though the lineup for this match hadn't been completely revealed yet, with Qiao Yifan's performance at the All Star Weekend, Ye Xiu believed that he wouldn't be able to win a starting spot like Gao Yingjie.
While the two of them were discussing, the situation on the battlefield had changed. Yu Feng, who had planned to strike only after the enemy had struck, finally found an opportunity. After his counterattack, he seized the initiative in one fell swoop and attacked continuously. However, after Gao Yingjie was suddenly suppressed, he seemed to be a little panicked and lost his composure. After all, this was his first official match. Even though the Rookie Challenge at the All-Star Weekend had helped him build up a lot of confidence, it was different now. The psychological pressure of an official match was far greater than that of a show-off match. Any rookie would inevitably be restricted by their mentality in this sort of situation. If things went smoothly, they could continue to perform well. If they met with a slight bump, they could collapse under nervousness.
Gao Yingjie's luck wasn't good either. He had met an All Star level player in his first match. Both in terms of experience and character, he was inferior to Ye Zichen. Now that the opponent had suddenly turned the tables on him, he couldn't help but lose his composure. Whether or not this newly built confidence could help him hold on was up to him.
"Micrograss isn't doing well, right?" Chen Guo could tell.
"If he doesn't take a risk now, he won't be able to get it back." Ye Xiu sighed. In his eyes, Gao Yingjie had already missed three chances. Even though it wasn't a sure thing, it was at least a chance to break through.
Once again!
Ye Xiu thought to himself. His eyes lit up. This time, Gao Yingjie finally made his move. When Yu Feng's character, Brilliant Edge, was about to turn around, he quickly moved at an extremely low altitude, entering Yu Feng's line of sight. Yu Feng was startled and hastily turned around to attack. Gao Yingjie was one step faster. Kind Tree swept Yu Feng into the air with his broom.
Taking a risk and seizing an opportunity that couldn't be considered an opportunity. This was a competition of reaction speed and hand speed. In this instant, Gao Yingjie showed his confidence. With one move, he took back the initiative.
"Not bad." Ye Xiu smiled as he praised. At this moment, Micrograss's captain, Wang Jiexi, was far more nervous and excited than him. He understood Gao Yingjie better and understood the importance of such a small detail. If he missed this opportunity, then it would be a blow to Gao Yingjie's confidence. If he succeeded, then it would definitely strengthen his confidence. Even if Gao Yingjie lost again, it wouldn't matter. At the very least, he would be able to see the hope of victory and know that he had the strength.
Gao Yingjie's following performance made Wang Jiexi extremely excited. No one could see the slightest trace of fear in Gao Yingjie's flurry of attacks. Clearly, Gao Yingjie was doing his best to win this match.
Wang Jiexi obviously wanted to see this kind of result. Unfortunately, Gao Yingjie's opponent also showed his worth as an All Star. Relying on the fact that his Berserker class was more durable than a Witch's and his character's strength far surpassed Kind Tree's, in the end, he relied on his patience to accumulate damage and eventually managed to wear down Gao Yingjie's Kind Tree.
Wang Jiexi was satisfied with this result. This was because he believed that Gao Yingjie could see that he didn't lose in terms of individual strength or skill, but rather in terms of character. If Gao Yingjie had used Vaccaria in this match, then it might have been a completely different situation.
The reasoning behind this wasn't too deep. The commentators and guests quickly pointed it out in their commentary. After a short break, the second match began. Yu Feng, who had relied on his character's strength to wear down his opponent, was also greatly injured. In the second match, his opponent took him down not long after. Then, Blue Rain's second player came out, fully protecting the small advantage that Yu Feng had gained from the two matches and smoothly killing his opponent.
The third match! Micrograss's main defender, captain Wang Jiexi, came out. A God, a God-level character, killed his opponent almost without taking any damage. And Blue Rain's third player was their number one expert, Huang Shaotian.
This sort of God-level confrontation was a common occurrence in the group arena. The two strongest players of the two teams coming out as the main defenders of the group arena was an arrangement that had no suspense at all. This was a matchup that the audience had been waiting for for a long time.
The commentators and guests were also very timely to promote the atmosphere. In this third match, who knew if it was an illusion, but it felt like there was going to be an even longer wait.
Begin!
The two sides hadn't even come into contact yet, but a large amount of information was already pouring out in the public chat. It was just that Huang Shaotian wasn't going to sit still and not say anything. The large string of words, whether or not they were repeated, came pouring out like a swarm. However, trash talk wasn't something that worked on everyone. Wang Jiexi was clearly one of the more resistant to trash talk. He ignored Huang Shaotian's spam and just quietly controlled his Vaccaria to fly towards his opponent's location.
And Huang Shaotian seemed to be addicted to trash talk. He didn't take the time to come face to face with his opponent. His character dove into a side alley. By the time Wang Jiexi pulled him out, the spam had already lasted for three minutes...
But at this moment, the spam suddenly stopped. What flashed out was a sky full of sword light!
The one who had been taking the initiative the entire time was Wang Jiexi, but when the two characters met, the one who made the first move was Huang Shaotian. And as soon as he made his move, he used the Blade Master's strongest skill: Formless Phantom Blade.
A high-level skill without any foreshadowing actually became an excellent foreshadowing. Wang Jiexi clearly hadn't expected that Huang Shaotian, who had been playing hide-and-seek with him and talking nonsense, would make such a rash move. This high-level skill had caught Wang Jiexi unprepared.
He had finally found Troubling Rain and was controlling his Vaccaria to dive down, when the waves of sword light came crashing down. Wang Jiexi was shocked, but he had already reacted on reflex. His diving Vaccaria suddenly jumped off his broom and turned around to fly away from the danger zone.
But Troubling Rain's sword light suddenly increased in intensity. Vaccaria, who had already turned around, wasn't able to escape completely. As soon as the sword light touched, Vaccaria froze in midair and was swallowed up by the dazzling sword light. Wang Jiexi, in their first exchange, had taken a high-level skill from Huang Shaotian.
"Mm mm mm, not bad." Ye Xiu nodded.
"Hey hey hey!" Chen Guo was a bit annoyed by Ye Xiu's tone. Even though Ye Xiu was her favorite God, Huang Shaotian and Wang Jiexi had never said that they were weaker than him! This guy was praising a God of the same level as if he were evaluating a bunch of noobs. Chen Guo felt that it was a bit awkward.
"Hey what?" Ye Xiu didn't think so at all.
"You you you …" Chen Guo stuttered for a long time, not knowing how to express herself. In the end, she changed the topic to: "What do you think?"
"It's only just begun." Ye Xiu had barely finished speaking when the Formless Phantom Blade finished its attack. The final blow sent Vaccaria flying into the wall by Huang Shaotian.
Vaccaria had been stunned by the collision, and Troubling Rain had been stunned by the high-level skill. The timing of these two stuns had been calculated by the meticulous Huang Shaotian. As soon as the stuns had passed, his Troubling Rain had already reached Vaccaria with a Triple Slash.
If he could reach a point where his character's stuns had ended and Vaccaria was still stunned for a while, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome. But in the current situation, there was no possibility of that happening. Huang Shaotian had already reached his limit. Unfortunately, there was an opening at the limit, and Wang Jiexi wasn't someone who would let go of an opening so easily. After the stuns ended, Vaccaria had already flown into the sky on his broom.
