Once an expert made a move, it was easy to tell.
Windward Formation's shrewdness was something that Team Everlasting had deeply experienced in the previous round. In Team Everlasting's eyes, Windward Formation was second only to Lord Grim in terms of difficulty to deal with.
Now, he was fighting in the second round of the individual competition. As for Team Everlasting's side? The second player to fight was their Sharpshooter, half of the main roster's seventh player. It would be difficult for him to deal with this troublesome Windward Formation.
With the current situation, as long as Team Everlasting lost two points, they would lose the entire season. Needless to say, the group arena and team competition were both worth more than two points. They couldn't afford to lose, so they had to have the strongest lineup possible. As a result, in the end, how to ensure that they won two points in the individual competition was a rather difficult problem. Because as the seventh player, the Sharpshooter was slightly weaker than the main roster's six players.
Team Everlasting was conflicted. In the end, they decided to fight in the same order as the previous round. In the end, they could only resign themselves to fate.
In the end, Happy's lineup for the second round was changed. Windward Formation was put in the second player. From the paper, it seemed that Happy had a better chance of winning this round. However, Team Everlasting wasn't particularly worried.
They had mentally prepared themselves for the Sharpshooter to lose points. And if this point was given to Windward Formation, it would be like Tianji's horse race. This was exactly what Team Everlasting had been hoping for when they were arranging their lineup. Now, it was happening.
Three, two, one, and the match began.
Wei Chen had decided on Blue Temple himself. It was without a doubt an individual battle map that he was extremely familiar with. In the face of such an official competition, Wei Chen also put away his thoughts of fooling around and used every means possible to take care of his opponent. Wei Chen took full advantage of the character's characteristics and the map's uniqueness. On Team Everlasting's side, they had a slightly weaker seventh player. In the second round, Wei Chen easily won without any suspense.
Even though this was within Team Everlasting's expectations, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. The third battle was a battle of life and death that would determine their final outcome.
Because they had expected this, Team Everlasting sent out an Elementalist with a strong mental fortitude for the third battle of the individual competition. This battle concerned Team Everlasting's life and death. Without a strong mental fortitude, it would be hard to withstand this pressure.
Even this person was constantly taking deep breaths to adjust his emotions after going into battle. He wanted to completely erase the last trace of nervousness in his heart.
But at this moment, the player Happy sent out was a player that Team Everlasting hadn't fought last round: Concealed Light.
Team Everlasting was dumbfounded.
Happy! They spent the entire week training themselves and researching thoroughly. But this Concealed Light wasn't within their scope of investigation. Although this character was listed on the other party's registration list, he couldn't find any relevant information.
But now, a character that had left them completely blank was going to battle. Everyone in Team Everlasting panicked. Even this Elementalist, who was known for his mental fortitude, couldn't hold on any longer.
Just as his hands were trembling slightly, Luo Ji was so nervous that he couldn't even hold his mouse steady. He was so nervous that his hands and feet were numb. His heart was beating so fast that he didn't need to touch it to feel it. His head was covered in layers of sweat.
"Experience needs to be accumulated." This was what Ye Xiu said to him when he went up. Even though Luo Ji wasn't in City H, it was an online competition, so he could still participate in it from his school.
Experience needed to be accumulated, but wasn't it a bit too much to ask him to directly compete in such an intense competition to accumulate experience? Luo Ji screamed in his heart. He was often abused in the in-game Arena. Suddenly, he had to face a professional team like Team Everlasting. This was too frightening.
Even though he didn't want to let everyone relax because of their huge advantage, it was necessary for the rookies to experience the rhythm and atmosphere of the competition. They couldn't just blindly train to improve and then rush onto the stage in a crucial match. There were players who could amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, but Luo Ji's personality and skill level weren't that type. As a result, with an 8.5 point advantage, Ye Xiu decided to send Luo Ji up to try. Ye Xiu already had this idea in mind during the first round. Giving Chen Guo a spot in the group arena was a bit of a waste. After all, Chen Guo didn't have much potential. She definitely wouldn't become Team Happy's true strength. Unfortunately, Luo Ji had something important to attend to last Friday and couldn't participate. As a result, in the second round, Ye Xiu wouldn't let go of this opportunity to train him. He decisively sent him out in the individual competition.
Three, two, one …...
No matter how nervous Luo Ji or Team Everlasting's Elementalist was, the system's merciless countdown began. The map for this match wasn't the group arena. Instead, it was a map that Luo Ji had chosen. In terms of using the map, Luo Ji was actually better than Bao Zi.
However, in his panicked state, it was hard to say if he would be able to use the map properly. As soon as the match began, Luo Ji immediately began summoning all sorts of beasts. This was something that he was very familiar with, but because of his nervousness, he was flustered. The beasts that he summoned spontaneously wandered around in circles. For a moment, they didn't follow the rules at all.
Summoning a bunch of beasts right off the bat was a bit amateurish. Summoners relied on these beasts to fight. Summoning skills also had cooldowns. Summoning all of these beasts at once was like using up all of the skills in one go. It was a bad sense of rhythm. Against an experienced player, this kind of poor sense of rhythm was enough to deal a devastating blow.
Team Everlasting's Elementalist had come to fight Concealed Light with a heart of fear and trepidation. But as soon as the match began, he saw the other side summon one beast after another. Then, the beasts suddenly ran around the battlefield. It looked spectacular, but …... it didn't make sense!
Was this some kind of trap?
In a life and death battle, the Elementalist didn't dare to be careless. He naturally played with extreme caution. Even if he saw an unprofessional move, he had to analyze it from the most dangerous angle. All was fair in war. It was too naive to believe that seeing was believing.
The Elementalist controlled his Elementalist to carefully approach. Halfway through, Luo Ji had finally summoned all of the beasts that he could summon. Then, with a swipe of his mouse and a mark in front of him, the beasts began to advance. During this process, Luo Ji began to fine-tune the formation of his summoned beasts. His mentality gradually stabilized, and his control became smoother and smoother. Not long after, the formation of his summoned beasts was arranged in an orderly fashion.
When the Elementalist saw this formation, he didn't dare to recklessly advance. He maintained his position and waited for the beasts to close in. Then, using his skill's distance advantage, the Elementalist threw out a spell to test the beasts.
Seeing his opponent attack, Luo Ji didn't stay idle either. He hastily ordered his beasts to retreat. However, no player's attack was purely a single skill. After using one skill, the players had many plans for what to do next. Observing the situation, the Elementalist continued to control his Elementalist to continue attacking. As a result, Concealed Light's beasts slowly became more and more chaotic, more and more and more chaotic.
Luo Ji couldn't keep up with his opponent's rhythm. Yet, he had to react to his opponent's attacks. This was his perfectionist nature at work. But in a situation where he didn't have enough skill, the more he pursued perfection, the more imperfect he became. In the end, the Elementalist finally realized that this brother really wasn't an expert.
If he could see it, then everyone in Team Everlasting could see it too. Suddenly, the entire practice room was filled with a festive atmosphere. The two points of the individual competition had been successfully taken. If the three rounds of the competition were considered three hurdles, then they had finally passed the first hurdle. However, it was obviously impossible to determine the winner in this match. The individual competition score was 1 to 2. Even if Team Everlasting won the group arena and the team competition, it would still be 1 to 8.5. The two sides would be tied and would need a playoff to determine the winner.
But no matter what, Team Everlasting at least had some hope.
There was no suspense in the third round of the individual competition. Team Everlasting easily won. Luo Ji, who had lost, was naturally disappointed.
"Compared to the you who only knew how to make guides, you've improved so much." Ye Xiu messaged him.
Luo Ji knew this very well, but he obviously knew that this was just Ye Xiu's consolation after the match. He could only reply with a bitter smile emoji.
"For the current you, you don't need to care too much about winning the match. You need to focus on every opportunity to fight and keep improving yourself. Slowly accumulate confidence and experience. Victory will naturally come. "Ye Xiu said.
"I will." These words finally made Luo Ji more energetic. He realized that Ye Xiu wasn't consoling him, but pointing him in the right direction. This wasn't the first time Ye Xiu had said something like this, but logic was just logic. When it came to carrying it out, he would sometimes forget about it. This was the so-called teaching from ear to ear was more or less the same as this.
After the individual competition ended, the group arena would begin after a short break. Since both sides were not wealthy, it was obvious who would be fighting in the group arena once the three people were out.
Happy's side was of course Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, and Qiao Yifan.
As for Team Everlasting's side, their experienced and ace player He An continued to lead their Warlock and Qi Master in a desperate battle.
