Yu Ting was also a battle-hardened elite caster. Although she was shocked, she didn't panic.
She raised her hands and a cold aura spread out. A ring of ice exploded and froze Xiang Hui in place. At the same time, Yu Ting quickly ran away from Xiang Hui's melee range.
However, Xiang Hui's body flashed with light as he decisively used Dispel. His reaction speed was shocking. The light blue ring of ice under Xiang Hui's feet dissipated. Xiang Hui, who had regained his ability to move, caught up to Yu Ting in a few steps.
An Agility-based Assassin would be able to kill a spellcaster who did not have any control skills or movement skills. Without any external interference, the Assassin would be able to kill the spellcaster in one hit.
At this moment, Shi Haiyan, who was not far away, rushed over and shouted, "Over here!"
Yu Ting made up her mind. As long as Shi Haiyan blocked Xiang Hui and gave her enough time to cast her spells, two Frost Shards would be enough to make Xiang Hui unable to take care of himself.
However, Shi Haiyan's block was destined to fail. Just as he activated his shoes to increase his speed, a tall skeleton swinging a greatsword swept past him and forced him back several steps. The Skeleton Warrior stood in front of him.
Both of them were strength-type Elites. Although Shi Haiyan was slightly stronger, if the Skeleton Warrior was determined to stall for time, he would be powerless.
In the blink of an eye, a kill appeared on the other side of the battlefield. Li Shuyi, Han Xu, Wrath Claw, and other summoned creatures worked together to kill Zhang Yubin and Mi Yuan at almost the same time.
A heavy pressure shrouded the hearts of the surviving members of Shandong University's team.
Not long after, Xiang Hui successfully killed Yu Ting and Shandong University's team lost another member.
Of the remaining two members of Shandong University's team, Shi Haiyan was surrounded by a group of summoned creatures and was in a precarious situation.
Bao Yiming was entangled by the Butcher and the Undead Devil Arcane Master's long-range Lightning Strike. His HP was also dropping rapidly.
His vitality was 30 points. For an ordinary Intermediate Awakened, 300 points of HP was not low. Moreover, he had 20% physical damage reduction. However, the Butcher's Decay and the Undead Devil Arcane Master's Lightning Strike were both magic damage types.
"I'm afraid Master Fatty is done for …" Bao Yiming was a little disheartened, but when he saw the Butcher's health bar, he regained his fighting spirit. "This big guy can't hold on any longer! Even if we lose, we can't lose in such a pathetic manner. We have to drag two of them down with us … "
Under Bao Yiming's 59 points of Strength, the Butcher's Health Points decreased rapidly. Because of the Butcher's Decay skill, Bao Yiming had to suffer the same amount of damage! Even with 600 HP, Shi Feng would not last long under such double damage.
What's more, Butcher's body was huge and his movements were slow. He could not use fancy moves like parrying, blocking, or dodging. Bao Yiming's attacks could be said to have hit him squarely.
While Shi Haiyan was being attacked by Bai Xiaowen and the others, Bao Yiming finally emptied the Butcher's last bit of HP. The Butcher only had a little over 100 HP left.
"Roar!"
Bao Yiming suddenly bent down and dashed forward. He knocked away a skeleton sword-shield soldier and grabbed Xiang Hui's legs! He was like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme. He carried Xiang Hui and shot into the air. He held Xiang Hui's head down and legs up and spun him towards the ground.
Battle skill — Spiral Pile Driving!
Bang!
Vital Strike! Triggered an instant kill!
Xiang Hui only had time to say "F * ck" in the public channel before his Health Points reached zero and he was ejected from the battlefield.
This was also Bao Yiming's last counterattack. After swapping out Xiang Hui, his throwing skills were all in cooldown. The little over 100 HP he had left was quickly wiped out by the focus fire.
In the auditorium.
The announcement of Jinghai University's victory resounded throughout the auditorium. However, in contrast, the auditorium was filled with silence. The atmosphere was very depressing.
Yun Xiaozhu's commentary was also intermittent. She seemed a little sad.
"In the first round of the knockout round, Jinghai University was the first to obtain a victory … This short competition lasted less than ten minutes. The real team battle only lasted a few minutes. Now, we will review the game as usual and find out the reason for the school team's defeat … "
Replays were very common in the Pro League.
In the E-Sports competition of the A.D. era, the players' reactions were extremely fast. In the team battle, there were ten people with a total of forty skills (in most cases, more). It was simply too much for the eyes to take in. Therefore, there were exciting replays of the game at that time.
In the psionic era, every outstanding awakened person's reaction speed surpassed the E-Sports players of the A.D. era. As the audience was mostly made up of ordinary people, their eyes could not keep up with the players' movements. They could only receive basic information such as "XX killed XX", "XX double kill", "XX team won the team battle", etc. They could not grasp the exciting details at all.
Therefore, a review was necessary.
The few minutes of the team battle were slowed down by 0.5 times. Under this speed, the players' movements were still very fast. At some key points, Yun Xiaozhu had to pause her commentary.
"The school team's first wave of tactics was still very successful. Only two people were able to get rid of the enemy's crowd control … Later on, Team Bao's advance was even more domineering. He was the first to kill the enemy's support."
"Next … Bai Xiaowen used a displacement skill and crossed a distance of over a hundred metres. He practically flew from one end of the battlefield to the other …"
At that point, Yun Xiaozhu paused. "This is a new skill. In all the previous matches, Bai Xiaowen had never revealed his long-distance displacement ability … I have received additional information. This is a shared skill of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's team. It is called Pull."
"This skill became the deciding factor of the battle … everyone can see that after Bai Xiaowen crossed the battlefield, not only did he free himself from the threat of Team Bao, he also caused a devastating blow to the rear of our school team …"
Yun Xiaozhu continued her commentary on the next few waves of players, including Yu Ting's reaction to evade Orochi and Xiang Hui's dash and instant release of skills.
Finally, Yun Xiaozhu concluded. "It is a pity that we lost this team battle. We only lost to the enemy team's Pull skill. If we had known about this skill beforehand, I believe that Team Bao and the others would have adopted a more reliable strategy … "
"There are a total of three elimination rounds. Losing one round is nothing. In short, I hope that the school team can win two rounds in a row and advance into the top eight! "
In the home team's resting room.
Actually, Shandong University's team thought the same … They had just had a heated discussion. In the end, other than Shi Haiyan, the other four people all agreed that Jinghai University's team was too cunning and that Bai Xiaowen was too cunning. He had been hiding the Pull skill all this time.
"In the battle against Wannan, Bai Xiaowen didn't even use this trump card. However, under our pressure, he had no choice but to use it. This means that we are very strong." It had to be said that as a fatty, Bao Yiming's train of thought was very clear. "Let's do our best. We still have hope of winning two rounds!"
After a short break, the draw for the second match began.
This time, both teams were prohibited from using the same mode as the first match.
The roulette on the big screen flashed and finally stopped at … Solo Match, Defender Mode.
The moment they saw this mode, the members of both teams had the same expression.
Jinghai University members: "This round is in the bag."
Shandong University members: "This round is in the bag!"
Due to the guessing game, Jinghai University would be the first to choose their player.
"Hey, do you want another 1v5?" Xiang Hui smiled and said to Bai Xiaowen.
"Forget it, I'll give you a chance to perform …"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and immediately announced, "Our first player is Feng Zi-ang."
Feng Zi-ang's bust appeared on the big screen. Then, Feng Zi-ang entered the player channel and stepped into the arena.
The first team to choose their player would be at a disadvantage. This was because the opponent could choose their player based on their player's style.
The purpose of sending the support first was to minimize this disadvantage. After all, under normal circumstances, the support was the weakest one in a one-on-one fight. Their expertise in teamwork was useless in a one-on-one fight, so it was better to use them as a test.
After some discussion, Shandong University's team arranged for Zhang Yubin, the archer, to go first.
Feng Zi-ang's offensive skills were only Punishing Spells. His damage was average. In addition, he had a shield and HP recovery ability. He was good for a long battle. However, Zhang Yubin's Snake Venom Stinger not only dealt damage, but also reduced the effect of Feng Zi-ang's healing skills by 40% …
Zhang Yubin moved from a distance and killed Feng Zi-ang with a full HP.
After the kill notification sounded, the big screen gave a close-up of the winner, Zhang Yubin, as usual. Zhang Yubin faced the camera and made a throat-slitting gesture … which won the cheers of the audience.
The people from Jinghai University were furious.
"I'll go and kill him," Xiang Hui said coldly.
"Okay." Bai Xiaowen agreed.
The champion was Zhang Yubin. Jinghai University's next player was Xiang Hui.
The battle started again. This time, Zhang Yubin was obviously planning to kite. He shot while retreating to increase the distance between them.
After Xiang Hui dodged the two arrows, he suddenly pressed the button on his waist. The Thunder Cast Grappled Spear shot out a grappling hook, accurately nailing itself to a pillar on the battlefield. Then, the grappling hook quickly retracted and Xiang Hui's body shot towards Zhang Yubin.
Zhang Yubin sneered, "I knew you had this trick up your sleeve!" He slightly squatted and then took a step back. At his original position, there was already a circle of inconspicuous black lines.
"Iron Thorn Trap" was a relatively useless skill. It could only be cast in place and then prayed that the opponent would run into it … Of course, once the opponent was hit, the effect would be outstanding. There would be an initial imprisonment and a subsequent long period of slow.
Xiang Hui's Thunder Thorn Hook Spear was at a disadvantage in this aspect. Before he landed on the ground, he didn't have any leverage in the air and crashed into the Iron Thorn Trap.
However, Xiang Hui's body flashed and he got rid of the control effect. Before Zhang Yubin could react, he rushed forward and waved his two swords.
Zhang Yubin hurriedly used the displacement skill "Shadow Step" and moved under the shadow of a pillar. Then, he quickly ran away from the pillar – it was very simple. He didn't want to give Xiang Hui another chance to use the Iron Thorn Hook Spear to get close to him. Staying away from the pillar was a wise choice.
However, Xiang Hui's body flashed and a long afterimage appeared behind him. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhang Yubin.
Surprise Attack!
This was Xiang Hui's only skill. He first used the unstable Iron Thorn Hook Spear as the first part of the surprise attack. Then, he used the stable Iron Thorn Hook Spear as the second part of the surprise attack. He had calculated that Zhang Yubin also had a displacement skill to escape!
Of course, falling into the trap was an accident. Being forced to release the control effect showed Xiang Hui's decisiveness.
Zhang Yubin activated his shoes to increase speed. Xiang Hui also increased his speed. One ran and one chased. Xiang Hui's speed was clearly faster. His two swords continuously cut Zhang Yubin's body, causing a series of sharp damage and bleeding effects.
In the end, Zhang Yubin bled to death while running for his life …
The champion became Xiang Hui. After his victory, his HP was basically full. He only received a small amount of damage from the Iron Thorn Trap.
Xiang Hui's expression was very cold. He didn't make any provocative moves like Zhang Yubin.
After a brief discussion in the team of Shandong University, Yu Ting volunteered to enter the arena.
On the battlefield, Yu Ting's face was cold and murderous. In the previous match, she had been hacked to death by Xiang Hui. This time, she specially volunteered to take revenge …
Mages didn't have an advantage against Assassins. However, Xiang Hui's Surprise Attack skill was still on cooldown.
Yu Ting suppressed Xiang Hui from the start of the match. Although the damage of her Frost Shard skill was not high, the additional 10 seconds of freezing and slowing effect was a headache for melee players. Most importantly, the cooldown of this small skill was only 10 seconds! Of course, this skill required a 1 second channeling time and wasn't instant cast.
As long as Yu Ting's Spirit could keep up, she could theoretically use an unlimited amount of Ice Shards to kill a melee player.
This skill was actually similar to the Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master's Lightning Strike. They were both small skills with short cooldowns and required a channeling time.
Yu Ting's Meditation skill was very high. The arc of Ice Shards was 30 degrees. Xiang Hui's small movements were basically ineffective. After being hit by the first Ice Shard, his body became stiff and heavy. His speed was reduced by more than half.
It was impossible to catch up to Yu Ting with this speed. Moreover, Yu Ting was guarding against Xiang Hui's Lightning Hook Spear.
After Yu Ting's second Ice Shard, Xiang Hui gritted his teeth and released the crowd control. He raised his Lightning Hook Spear and sprinted forward. His body drew a large circle around the pillar! This kind of astonishing movement speed was clearly beyond the range of Yu Ting's Meditation skill. The second Ice Shard missed!
Although Xiang Hui's Lightning Hook Spear didn't get close to Yu Ting, he successfully got rid of the Ice Shards! He immediately took advantage of his 28 points of Dexterity and madly ran towards Yu Ting.
Whoosh!
Yu Ting had no choice but to cast Frost Nova. A ring of ice rapidly spread out and froze Xiang Hui outside of the melee range! She took a deep breath and formed a hand seal. She muttered a few words. A much thicker ice shard shot out and directly pierced Xiang Hui's chest!
"Die." Yu Ting saw Xiang Hui's HP drop to zero and let out a long sigh.
