Luo Tian's perfunctory defense made Zhang Yiwei want to rush onto the stage and beat him up. They were in the middle of a match. How could he be so relaxed?
But in reality, patience wasn't something that could be lost all of a sudden. It was something that could be worn down bit by bit. Luo Tian was like this, the audience was like this, and even Zhang Yiwei himself was like this. If he had been patiently watching the match, he would have noticed that Luo Tian's mechanics were starting to change, and he wouldn't have suddenly noticed it now.
Zhang Yiwei's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was thinking that this wasn't good, Mo Fan's Deception finally made his move.
Ninjutsu: Disappearing Body Technique!
The 30 seconds of Disappearing Body Technique allowed the Ninja to climb up from all sorts of angles like Spiderman and attack from routes that normal characters couldn't. Luo Tian had been on guard against this at the start, but now, he had already lost his vigilance. Mo Fan had also taken note of the terrain, and his figure strangely stuck close to Luo Tian's Elementalist.
It was a very normal playstyle, but in this playstyle, the patience and focus Mo Fan displayed were quite frightening. It had to be known that he wasn't just walking around like he was taking a stroll. He had to make sure that his opponent didn't notice him, so his mechanics couldn't be sloppy. Mo Fan's long career as a scrap picker had honed these two qualities to an extreme. This sort of experience wasn't something that even pro players had. As time went on, Luo Tian's mechanics began to become sloppy, but Mo Fan didn't. When sloppiness met focus, the result seemed to have been decided the moment Deception made his move.
Ninjutsu: Shadow Dance!
When Deception pounced forward, he immediately used a high-level skill. Multiple Deceptions suddenly appeared next to Luo Tian, who was already very annoyed. Let alone identifying the heart of the Shadow Dance, he didn't even have time to react to the attacks. The multiple shadow clones pounced forward. The combo count in the statistics was like an exploding nest, slowly rising up. Mo Fan patiently waited for an opportunity. He was so patient that everyone was starting to feel annoyed, but when he began to attack, his actions weren't any worse than Sun Zheping's. This was also a habit that he had developed from scavenging. If he didn't have this decisiveness, he would have lost his life countless times during the scavenging process.
However, due to the habit of scavenging, Mo Fan had molded some of his strengths, but at the same time, it had also developed some areas that were not very satisfactory. Although Mo Fan's attacks were very fierce, they did not have the stability to be effective in the long run. This was because in the process of scrap picking, even if he wanted to kill his opponents, he would usually choose those who were on the brink of death. For a scrap picker, fighting with a character at full health in a crowd was tantamount to suicide.
Mo Fan's burst of power was relatively short as he kept killing these kinds of characters. After that, he felt like he was running out of energy.
Sun Zheping took out a Knight in one minute and seventeen seconds. Mo Fan, after successfully closing in on an Elemental Mage, was unable to finish the battle in a short period of time. Compared to the sudden pouncing of several big moves in a row, the continuous offensive after that made people feel that it was a bit anticlimactic.
Normal players wouldn't be able to detect this subtle difference, but an experienced pro player like Zhang Yiwei immediately noticed it.
"A chance! Steady, steady!" Zhang Yiwei couldn't help but blurt out. He had completely forgotten that Luo Tian couldn't hear him. However, Luo Tian didn't disappoint him. After being caught off guard at the start, he gradually stabilized his rhythm.
"Don't be too happy too early." Zhang Yiwei turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiu, who was smiling the entire time.
"Hahaha." Ye Xiu laughed. Zhang Yiwei turned his head back and was immediately petrified.
Deception's burst of power had ended and his offense had weakened. Luo Tian had stabilized his rhythm and was looking for an opportunity to counterattack, but at this moment, Deception ran away.
Yes, he ran away!
The battle hadn't ended yet. Luo Tian's Elemental Mage hadn't begun his counterattack, but Deception had actually run away. Luo Tian hadn't expected this at all. When he chased after him, Deception had already disappeared. Luo Tian was also petrified in his competitor booth.
"Happy contestant Mo Fan. What a surprise." The commentator's mouth couldn't stay idle even though he was dumbstruck, "But what I have to say is, this really is the style of a scrap picker from start to finish."
Deception had disappeared. Of course, this was only for Luo Tian. Apart from him, everyone else could find Deception's whereabouts from the omniscient view of the match. He had hidden himself again. Just like in the beginning, he followed Luo Tian's Elemental Mage step by step. The match instantly returned to its original trajectory, but this time, Luo Tianyuan wasn't as calm as he had been at the start of the match. He frantically searched for traces of Deception. Mo Fan, on the other hand, was still as calm and patient as before. It was as if his blood hadn't boiled over from the previous wave of attacks.
This was another important quality of a scrap picker: restraint.
When a piece of top-tier equipment was placed in front of you, but you couldn't pick it up, how much restraint would that be for a gamer? Many people would rather die than try, but Mo Fan would never do that. He would wait for the right opportunity, even if it meant missing it.
As a result, when he felt that the current situation wasn't suitable for him to make a move, he wouldn't make a move, even if the crowd's boos were about to be blown off the roof. This sort of playstyle clearly wasn't popular at all.
Unfortunately, this sort of boos didn't make Zhang Yiwei feel any better.
Even if Mo Fan couldn't win over the crowd, he could at least win over his opponent. In Zhang Yiwei's eyes, this one point was already on the verge of collapsing. Even if Luo Tian didn't dare to be careless this time because of his previous experience, his mentality had long since lost its equilibrium. In this sort of situation, not only did it require patience, it also required calmness. However, Luo Tian didn't seem to be calm at all. He was on the edge of a cliff, casting spells everywhere.
"Too reckless." Ye Xiu shook his head.
Mo Fan immediately made his move, as if he had heard the comment.
"Ah! Mo Fan chose this moment to make a move. This time, he didn't choose to use Disappearing Body to find an opportunity to get close. Instead, he directly exposed himself and rushed over, "the commentator cried out.
Luo Tian was startled by this sudden appearance, but he quickly attacked with great joy. The Elementalist raised his staff, but in the end, there wasn't the slightest spark.
"What is Luo Tian doing? Is he posing? "The commentator was at a loss.
At this moment, Luo Tian's face was covered in tears. Just as he finished casting, he heard the system's cold notification: Skill Cooldown.
For this sort of low-level mistake to happen to a pro player, it could be seen just how unstable Luo Tian's current state of mind was. He hurriedly used his skills, but he had no choice but to personally check which skills were on cooldown and which weren't. Before, he had been randomly casting spells. Just as Ye Xiu had said, he was just messing around. There was no purpose, no rhythm, to the point that he didn't even remember which skills were on cooldown.
As a result, Mo Fan once again succeeded in this wave of attacks. At the same time, this wave of attacks made Luo Tian despair. His resistance was weak and powerless. He wasn't even as steady as he had been in the previous wave. He was like a noob, randomly casting spells in an attempt to escape from his predicament.
Even if Mo Fan had the flaw of not being able to follow up, this kind of response was enough to deal with. As a result, he didn't retreat this time.
A moment later, Luo Tian's Elementalist fell, and the second round ended.
The electronic screen displayed the final score of the match. The stadium was immediately filled with boos. 8 minutes and 12 seconds. This match had actually lasted 8 minutes and 12 seconds. This was definitely a miracle in the individual competition.
But no matter what, Xing Zhan had firmly taken this one point into his pocket.
Mo Fan left the competitor booth and silently walked down the stage.
"Not bad." Ye Xiu clapped. Happy, the others also welcomed him with applause. Mo Fan didn't say a word. He calmly returned to his seat as if nothing had happened. His eyes were fixed on the stage. No one knew what he was thinking.
Mysterious Fantasy's Luo Tian also came out of the competitor booth. His face was pale and his feet were staggering.
"You weren't calm!" Zhang Yiwei hurriedly concealed his feelings and said to Luo Tian, who was walking down the stage.
"Actually, you've already grasped his weakness, but you haven't been able to turn it into an advantage." Zhang Yiwei continued. This time, it wasn't like last match when he said that Fang Daxu had been too impatient. It wasn't just a random excuse. In this round, Luo Tian had indeed allowed Zhang Yiwei to see a turning point. Unfortunately, at that moment, Mo Fan decisively had his Deception disappear again, leaving Luo Tian at a loss of what to do.
"Good luck next time." Zhang Yiwei patted Luo Tian, indicating that he could go rest.
Then, in the third round, Team Happy's Wei Chen came out. His stubble had a proud expression on his face. He glanced at Team Mysterious Fantasy's bench and waved his hand. "I'm coming out. Is there still a need to fight? Why don't you guys just forfeit? "
Zhang Yiwei didn't care about this. He nodded towards the third player who was coming out. That player stood up and walked towards the stage with his head held high.
"There really isn't a need to fight! You guys only need two points. What can one point do for you? I think we should just fight casually. It'll save us time and effort. "Wei Chen continued to yell.
As a result, the referee decisively ran down from the stage and threw a yellow card at Wei Chen.
"Inappropriate words. Warning once. If you violate the spirit of competition again, the organizing committee will seriously consider your participation. "The referee said with a serious expression.
"F * ck, I can't even joke around?" Wei Chen argued, but the referee ignored him. He turned around and returned to the stage.
"The requirements these days are really strict huh?" Wei Chen said resentfully to Happy's teammates and then walked towards the stage.
