Evening.
Room 28529, which had the name "Team Happy" in it, was undoubtedly the most popular room in the Glory Arena in recent times. Or perhaps it could be said that ever since the launch of Glory, there had never been an Arena room that had maintained such a high level of popularity for such a long time.
Tonight was no exception. Starting at 6 PM, spectators had been crowding into the room. No one stood in the fighting seats, but they all consciously stood in the spectator seats.
Would there be a challenge tonight?
The spectators were all guessing. Ever since Team Happy had become a hot topic, many experts had issued challenges online. During that period of time, many matches could be seen every evening. Of course, some came to slap faces, while others came purely for fun.
Team Happy had never lost, not even once.
However, Team Happy's appearances were a bit abnormal. The vast majority of the matches were won by that Battle Mage Han Yanrou. In the individual competition, she would definitely be the first to go up. In the group arena, she would also definitely be the first to go up.
In the hearts of the game's players, this Han Yanrou was already terrifyingly strong. Due to the many rumors about Ye Qiu, quite a few people suspected that Ye Qiu was the one behind the scenes playing the role of the character. This was the suspicion of normal players, but the pro players who paid attention to this matter could all see that this Battle Mage was different from Ye Qiu's Battle Mage. Especially on Excellent Era's side. After being slapped in the face by the news that Lord Grim wasn't Ye Qiu, they tried to find a way to confirm that Ye Qiu was definitely in Happy. However, based on the information they had on Happy accepting challenges recently, they also felt that this Han Yanrou wasn't Ye Qiu.
But they couldn't be too sure. After all, they only needed to deal with these player-level experts. For a god like Ye Qiu, there was no need for him to use his full strength. He could easily win by putting on an act. For people like Chen Yehui, who never minded trying to figure out Ye Qiu from the worst possible angle, he especially believed that Ye Qiu was deliberately mystifying things.
Was Han Yanrou playing on behalf of Ye Qiu? If not, then who was it? This was one of the countless gossips that came out of the Happy topic.
At seven o 'clock sharp, the recently discussed character, Han Yanrou, appeared and stood in the competition area.
Where was his opponent? Would there be any opponents?
The onlookers waited with bated breath. Recently, there were fewer and fewer opponents. Last night, he waited until a quarter past eight before someone came to challenge him. In the end, he was defeated without any excitement.
At this point, Happy's strength was already very high in the hearts of the players. It seemed like he wasn't someone that the online players could stop. With this kind of skill, it seemed like he could really try his luck in the pro scene?
This was also one of the topics that came out of the Happy topic. In the beginning, everyone thought that Happy's battles weren't reliable and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Now, there were people who started to have such thoughts. Among the onlookers, there were still many who wanted to see Happy lose, but there were also many who cared about when Happy would lose. It seemed similar, but the point of view was different. There were quite a few people who were leaning towards Happy.
Team Happy's marketing strategy had some results. Chen Guo's risky move had good prospects.
"They're here!"
Excellent Era's gaming studio. After Tang Rou's Han Yanrou appeared in the room, Chen Yehui immediately called out to everyone. He had mixed in with the crowd early on, so today's match would obviously be recorded by him.
"Who's going up first?" Chen Yehui asked the others.
"I'll go!" Li Rui smiled and spoke first.
Chen Yehui nodded. He didn't have any opinions on who went first, but he didn't forget to remind them: "Be careful. This guy is Happy's most popular player. I suspect that Ye Qiu is playing for him," Chen Yehui said seriously.
"Ye Qiu?" Li Rui smiled. He wasn't looking down on Ye Qiu's skill. He was looking down on Chen Yehui's eyes.
"She's not." Li Rui finally said this indifferently. It didn't seem like he was contradicting Chen Yehui, but he completely denied Chen Yehui's suspicions. He didn't give Chen Yehui any face.
Chen Yehui's heart burned with anger again. His emotions were complicated. He really hoped that Li Rui would lose so that he could continue to be so arrogant. He was still in the training camp. If he really became a pro player and an ace, wouldn't he have to talk to him with his nose?
Li Rui didn't care about Chen Yehui's feelings. He logged into his character and was already in the Arena, preparing to enter his room. Han Yanrou was Happy's most popular player. He obviously knew this. He had followed this topic quite a bit. Because of this, he was the first to accept the challenge. If he could defeat Happy's most popular player, then he would definitely receive a lot of attention. How could Li Rui miss such an opportunity to attract attention?
Demon Fighter.
This was the name of Li Rui's Battle Mage character. He quickly entered the room and his seat appeared. He was facing Han Yanrou.
"Demon Fighter, is he one of your people?" Chen Yehui's alternate character received a message from Chen Guo.
"Yes." Chen Yehui replied.
Chen Guo received confirmation and then passed the message to Tang Rou: "That's him. Let's fight!"
Han Yanrou prepared her equipment for Demon Fighter. The match began in the blink of an eye.
Tang Rou's initiative didn't need to be mentioned. After entering the arena and the countdown ended, Han Yanrou rushed towards her opponent. In the past, Tang Rou would often use Dragon Breaks the Ranks to rush up. However, after so many days, the players who came to challenge her were becoming more and more skilled. Tang Rou didn't use this kind of unprofessional starting method. This kind of fighting method would definitely put her in a passive position when facing an expert.
Han Yanrou walked forward with great balance and used Dragon's Teeth. During this process, her opponent's Demon Fighter didn't move at all. He looked abnormally calm.
In reality, Li Rui was a bit nervous.
Yes, nervous. Even he didn't expect that when he entered the arena and the countdown started, he would actually become nervous.
He placed a lot of importance on this match. He treated this as a turning point in his search for a breakthrough. He kept telling himself that he couldn't afford to lose. Thus, when the match started, this guy became nervous. He was giving himself too much pressure. He could only win, he couldn't lose. There weren't many people who could withstand this kind of pressure.
Li Rui felt like he could hear his own heartbeat. Under the computer table, his legs couldn't stop trembling. This trembling spread from his legs to his hands. Once it reached his hands, it would be over …
The more he thought about it, the more Li Rui couldn't control himself. He realized that his hands were actually trembling.
How shameful!
At this moment, Li Rui actually thought of this. He even looked left and right. Then, he realized that everyone was staring intently at the game on their respective screens. No one noticed that his hands were trembling at this moment, and this actually made him feel a lot more relaxed. His trembling hands also seemed to have lessened.
But just as he was looking around, Han Yanrou had already rushed in front of his Demon Fighter. Dragon's Teeth stabbed. Demon Fighter didn't react and was hit.
Dragon's Teeth could create a short stun effect. This stun effect was even more significant than the damage it could cause to Dragon's Teeth.
Using the stun effect created by Dragon's Teeth was already a basic skill for a Battle Mage player.
Tang Rou used it very well. Dragon's Teeth hit. She didn't think about how it could be so simple. She followed up with a Sky Strike. Demon Fighter was knocked into the air. Dragon's Teeth and Sky Strike's Chasers had already wrapped around the target, collided, and exploded. Han Yanrou's next skill arrived … …
Li Rui turned his head. In the end, he saw that his character had been sent flying into the air. Two of his Chasers had exploded. Li Rui, who had just relaxed a little, suddenly became nervous again. His brain suddenly stopped working. How should he deal with the situation in front of him? His mind was blank. His left hand was on the keyboard and his right hand was on the mouse. He wanted them to move, but he couldn't give them any commands. He didn't know how to make them move.
Han Yanrou's combo came rolling in. When Falling Flower Palm sent Demon Fighter flying, she used Rising Dragon Soars the Sky. The spear and magic transformed into a dragon. Before Demon Fighter could hit the ground, he was caught in the mouth. The crowd of onlookers gasped in surprise.
Rising Dragon Soars the Sky wasn't easy to catch an airborne target. Especially when Falling Flower Palm sent him flying. She had to be very fast. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time. Han Yanrou's Rising Dragon Soars the Sky was able to catch up to a target that had been blown away. This was actually a proof of her hand speed. If her hand speed wasn't at a certain level, this playstyle definitely couldn't be executed.
As for Demon Fighter, did anyone care about him? After being hit by Dragon's Teeth and sent into the air by Sky Strike, everyone was paying attention to Han Yanrou's incisive combo. For normal players, this sort of combo after being knocked into the air should be unbreakable.
But for Li Rui, it shouldn't be like this. His mind was blank. It was as if he had forgotten everything he had learned. He was like a spectator, watching his character get trampled in the air. After being directly finished off by Rising Dragon Soars the Sky, Demon Fighter's health dropped by a third.
One combo, one third of his health. This was very rare in a pro-level match. For pro players, there was no such thing as an unbreakable combo. It just depended on whether you could find an opportunity to break it.
Li Rui hadn't seen anyone pay attention to him when he turned his head. But now, after losing a third of his health, everyone turned their heads.
This was too unreasonable.
Even though the outstanding players in the training camp weren't official pro players, they could be considered pro players. His opponent had actually completed a full set of combo moves. What was going on? Was she intentionally going easy on him?
From their understanding of Li Rui, their friends in the training camp thought of this possibility.
