Wild Blood Blades collided. Both characters were stunned for a short moment because of the impact of this attack. The instant the stun ended, the two characters attacked at almost the same time. With two whooshing sounds, the two Berserkers both used Cross Slash. This skill was a horizontal slash and a vertical slash. If the two characters used this skill, it would be four slashes. However, only two sounds could be heard. It could be seen that the two characters had used their skills at the exact same time, to the point that the sound effects of the skills merged together.
Dang! Dang!
Cross Slash collided again and even created sparks. This skill was low leveled and didn't have much impact. The two characters didn't pause and continued with their next move. However, after this attack, Loulan Slash's greatsword's durability had surprisingly dropped by 1 point.
Glory equipment's durability wasn't that bad. If not, how many people would be able to afford to keep their equipment? It was because the way these two fought was too Berserk. If their skills clashed, the damage to equipment would be greater than normal. Glory was a game with many hidden details. In addition to the shattering effect of Another Summer of Sleep's greatsword, Edgeless, Loulan Slash's weapon's durability dropped rapidly.
This 1 point of durability made Lou Guanning's heart jump in fright. He quietly opened up his calculator. Lou Guanning wanted to calculate how long this battle would last, but he didn't want to lose this one point of durability.
But before he could finish calculating, the battle had already changed. The two were no longer clashing head-on like this. Instead, they began a bold and decisive exchange of skills. However, this exchange of skills was too wild. There was almost no dodging or parrying. It was completely a life for a life. Blood continuously splashed from the two characters' bodies. The two Berserkers' greatswords were dyed red with blood. Whenever there was a slight pause, drops of blood would drip down to the ground.
Even though the two characters were both Berserkers, their equipment was different. This meant that their health, defense, attack, and other stats would all be different. However, after this exchange of skills, the two characters' health dropped by the same amount. This was enough to show that the seemingly crude exchange actually had a knack for it. If they hadn't been able to reach this balance, one side might have stopped the exchange. The tacit agreement caused the two characters' health to drop to 50%. The two Berserkers stopped attacking.
For a Berserker, 50% health was the breaking point. The effect of the passive skill, Blood Awakening, was to activate at 50% HP. From this point onwards, the lower the Berserker's HP, the higher their attack power. Choosing between health and attack power at this moment was a test of a Berserker's skill.
Lou Guanning was also a Berserker. When he saw the two pause, he immediately understood. After the initial probing, both of them felt that the other wasn't easy to deal with. So, they decided to skip the initial 50% health stage and enter the Berserker's Blood Awakening stage.
In the following battle, they would be able to see the true strength of these two!
At this moment, Lou Guanning was extremely curious as to who this person who could actually fight a God to a standstill was. He wanted to stand up and take a closer look, but he was pretending to be in a match, so he could only continue to hide behind the screen and pretend to operate.
Everyone was focused on this duel. As soon as the two players stopped, the training room fell silent. The two Berserkers slowly raised the greatsword in their hands once more. Step by step, they began to move. Every movement they made seemed especially cautious.
Whoosh!
A streak of blood sprayed out. Another Summer of Sleep took the initiative to attack. His left hand swiped his sword and a Blood Sword appeared.
Ye Xiu's Loulan Slash dodged to the side. Another Summer of Sleep followed up with a Colliding Stab. Both man and sword rushed forward. Ye Xiu didn't seem to be able to react in time. Loulan Slash didn't move. But the moment they were about to touch, he suddenly raised his hand and the two greatswords clashed once more.
Clang!
The loud sound made Lou Guanning's heart tremble. Were these two going to start again?
But that wasn't the case. In this clash, Loulan Slash was clearly at a disadvantage. Even though Ye Xiu had also used a Colliding Stab to counter Another Summer of Sleep, Another Summer of Sleep's Colliding Stab had a run-up. The final impact wasn't equal to Loulan Slash's hastily used Colliding Stab. In this clash of skills, Another Summer of Sleep won. Loulan Slash's two feet scraped the ground as he slid backwards. This time, not only did his weapon lose durability, he also lost quite a bit of his shoes.
However, Lou Guanning couldn't care less about this. This God's move was clearly a mistake. At this moment, he needed a purely defensive skill like Block. Using an offensive skill like Parry wouldn't be able to block a skill like Colliding Stab, which had a build-up to it. How could a God make such a mistake?
Did he have a follow-up move?
Lou Guanning decisively thought of this. Sure enough, Loulan Slash, who had been pushed back by Colliding Stab, quickly countered with a Collapsing Mountain. This attack hit Another Summer of Sleep from head to toe. He couldn't dodge because he was in the ending stage of Colliding Stab. There was a short stun, but Ye Xiu used this opportunity to counterattack.
Beautiful!
Lou Guanning almost screamed out loud.
Ye Xiu used Colliding Stab to defend. He wasn't able to cancel out the impact of the Colliding Stab, but he was able to cancel out the small stun that the opponent would cause. This allowed him to quickly counterattack. A Collapsing Mountain was timed perfectly, making it impossible for the opponent to dodge. In this way, this skill exchange was actually two for one, but Ye Xiu clearly had the advantage. The damage from Collapsing Mountain was through and through. It was much more powerful than the damage that Another Summer of Sleep had dealt by relying on a higher priority.
Moreover, from a Berserker's point of view, Ye Xiu's use of Colliding Stab could be seen as trading a bit of health. This way, the damage would be even higher.
Brilliant! After all, Lou Guanning was a Berserker. He instantly understood all of the implications. Compared to a layman who was just here to watch the show, he had a lot more insight.
This Collapsing Mountain was only the beginning of the attack. When would a pro player's offense end with just one skill? Whenever you hit your opponent, you had to follow up with a combo. This was the quality of a pro player.
When Collapsing Mountain landed, he immediately used a Reverse Slash to knock his target into the air. Then, his body glowed with a bloody light as he activated Berserk, Cross Slash, Heavy Strike … a chain of skills. When Berserk approached, a Wild Blood Strike slashed at Another Summer of Sleep, sending him tumbling in the air. Loulan Slash didn't stop there. His left hand swiped the edge of his sword with a Sword of Blood. After this attack, the Berserk effect ended. Loulan Slash didn't chase after him. He watched as Another Summer of Sleep rolled after landing and stood up straight.
This wave of Berserk Slash took away 15% of Another Summer of Sleep's health. Lou Guanning wasn't just here to watch the show. He was analyzing the implications. If it were a normal player, they would hope to get more combo segments after getting a chance. It was as if that would increase their damage output. However, Ye Xiu didn't pursue this point in this wave of attacks. He just accurately timed the Berserk effect. Afterwards, he chose to focus on stability. They were all difficult to break combos.
The combo didn't look long, but it was extremely efficient. The Berserk effect was fully utilized. A wave of 15% health. If it were a normal player, they might not even be able to deal as much damage after a longer combo, let alone the possibility of the combo being interrupted.
How knowledgeable! How insightful!
Lou Guanning sighed. But at this moment, Another Summer of Sleep regrouped and immediately began his counterattack. His character didn't use any skills. He just quickly moved towards Loulan Slash.
Ye Xiu obviously wouldn't back down. Loulan Slash moved forward. The two Berserkers were still some distance away, so Another Summer of Sleep took the initiative to attack. Colliding Stab. Colliding Stab again.
Is this guy's playstyle always so monotonous? Lou Guanning muttered to himself. Using this move again? Isn't he afraid of being countered by the opponent using the same method?
But this time, Ye Xiu didn't use the same method as last time. Instead, he had Loulan Slash dodge the attack.
Why? Lou Guanning was a bit absent-minded. Another Summer of Sleep, who had missed, immediately canceled the skill. His left hand grabbed at the air. His entire hand was bleeding so much that it looked like it was about to drip blood.
Soul Devouring Bloody Hand!
This was an AoE control type skill. All characters within the range of Soul Devouring Bloody Hand would be restrained by the blood and dragged to the side of the character using the skill.
However, this skill only controlled the target's movement. It didn't control the target's other actions. Dragging the target to one's side wouldn't stop the opponent from attacking. As a result, this skill was mostly used against long-ranged classes. Against close-ranged classes, using this skill might actually give the opponent a boost.
Lou Guanning couldn't understand Another Summer of Sleep's unconventional choice of skill. As for Ye Xiu's Loulan Slash, sure enough, he used Colliding Stab to attack.
Clang!
What made Lou Guanning's heart ache the most was the sound of weapons clashing. Another Summer of Sleep didn't back down. He swung his sword and used Whirlwind Slash. The two swords clashed. Although Whirlwind Slash was a high-level skill, it couldn't easily withstand the impact of Colliding Stab. Another Summer of Sleep was knocked to the side, but he didn't expect that after sliding two steps, Another Summer of Sleep would forcefully take a step back. Another Whirlwind Slash accurately hit Loulan Slash.
Sliding, taking a step back, slashing...
Another Summer of Sleep attacked in such a strange manner. Lou Guanning quickly understood that he was using the movement effect of Whirlwind Slash to forcefully cancel out the knockback effect of Colliding Stab.
This, isn't he too confident...
Lou Guanning was shocked. If he were to do this, he really wouldn't have the confidence to do it.
Immediately afterwards, Another Summer of Sleep did something that Lou Guanning didn't understand. After Whirlwind Slash canceled out the knockback effect, Another Summer of Sleep decisively gave up on this skill and attacked again. At this time, Whirlwind Slash still had at least a third of its attack time. With this bit of damage, this guy actually gave up on it?
Cross Slash, Reverse Slash, Annihilation Slash...
Another Summer of Sleep also began a combo of attacks. Lou Guanning didn't care too much. He felt that this combo should be easily interrupted by a God, right? However, the combo continued, and Loulan Slash ate it all. Lou Guanning was shocked. What's going on? Is he selling his health?
