Compared to a character's level, skills were more direct and could increase one's chances of making a mistake.
Hao Tian moved while using his combo, pushing his opponent to the edge of the ring.
Boom!
Suddenly, Star Chess's body burst into flames, and a shockwave spread out. Hao Tian was knocked back, and his combo was interrupted.
"Qi Burst! Star Chess used this move first! "the judge said.
There were three ways to win: defeating the opponent, forcing the opponent to admit defeat, or forcing the opponent to fall off the ring. Star Chess was forced to the edge of the ring, so he would lose if he didn't use Qi Burst.
However, in the next moment, Hao Tian unleashed his Qi almost at the same time. Like a wild bull, he used a skill that had the effect of Charge. Like a battering ram, his iron fists broke through Scattered Star's parrying arms and landed on his chest.
Dong!
A muffled sound!
Star Chess couldn't stand still and fell off the ring, raising a cloud of dust.
"Winner, Hao Tian!" the judge said loudly.
"He won!" The crowd exploded with enthusiasm. Hao Tian's fans stood up excitedly and cheered.
The sound of tens of thousands of people gathered together was like a tsunami!
Star Chess was asked to return to the ring, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. Although the opening match was only for show, and neither of the two players would be eliminated, this was a huge exposure. Winning a huge victory in front of tens of thousands of people was the best chance to show his return as a king. However, he lost, and the effect of his comeback was greatly reduced, ruining his plan.
However, a win was a win, and a loss was a loss. This was the consensus of all players. Even if Star Chess was unhappy, he would suppress it in his heart.
The Red Luan Bird swayed her slender waist and leisurely walked to the center of the arena. She smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful match. This was a high level battle. The Star Chess God lost. Do you have anything to say?"
Star Chess calmed himself down and forced a smile. "Not bad. I really enjoyed this battle. I also saw the strength of the younger generation. They have a lot of potential. Only then will they be able to take over the burden of the older generation and win glory in the international competition …"
This was a formal statement. Star Chess had mentioned the younger generation many times, and he was praising the younger generation with the attitude of a veteran. He was deliberately putting on airs, implying that he was a senior.
"Thank you for your speech."
The Red Luan turned to Hao Tian and smiled, "Great God Hao Tian, do you have anything to say?"
Hao Tian gestured for her to give him the microphone. The Red Luan was delighted. She was afraid that Hao Tian would not speak, so she immediately handed him the microphone.
Haotian paused for a moment and stared at the chess pieces with an expressionless face.
"What's the point of retired people coming back for?"
After that, he threw down the microphone, turned around, and left. He didn't want to talk to Star Chess at all.
Chess Star's face turned ugly. Veins popped out on his forehead as he gritted his teeth.
How could such words be said in public?! Chess Star was infuriated.
The audience was in an uproar, and the Red Luan hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
…
"She has personality. I like it."
Han Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
He knew about Hao Tian's past. This guy was different from those flirtatious b * tches. He didn't like exposure and operations, and he worked hard to hone his skills. He was very serious about his work and had an upright and plainspoken attitude. To put it simply, he was a gaming nerd with an iron head.
Han Xiao's standards for grooming players were basically famous experts and potential stocks in his previous life. It wasn't that he discriminated against noobs, but that experts could perform better with the same amount of resources.
With his current ability, he could indeed nurture an invincible existence among the players, but he would not do so. Nurturing such a player would bring more harm than good. The rewards that Han Xiao gave to Frenzied Sword and the others were only above the average level of the players within a reasonable range.
Now, the players were only weaker in terms of attributes, but their mechanics were not necessarily bad. It was hard to say if there would be some amazing mechanics, and that was what Han Xiao was looking at. Although he was very good, he never forgot to learn. Good mechanics could be used to deal with other strong opponents.
How to counter the enemy's abilities, how to react in the face of unexpected situations, individual mechanics, layout, and so on were all the directions of the Pro League.
The growth of players varied, and the clash of different abilities was one of the highlights of a battle. For example, Hao Tian didn't have Chess Star's [Shockwave Stomp], but he had other trump cards. Everyone had their own trump cards and tricks. How to use them in a battle was also a reflection of one's skill level. With the same attributes, the strength of an expert would naturally exceed that of an average person.
Moreover, it was also a skill for players to develop themselves well. For example, in boxing, A trained hard and B was at the end of his life. Both of them had the same amount of time, but A was better at accumulating more. That was why A was better. A learned a new fighting technique from a teacher, B couldn't find a teacher, so he could only practice blindly. However, there was no way that A was prohibited from learning a new technique just because B didn't know it.
This principle also applied to players. Killing monsters to level up, doing quests, and farming equipment was equivalent to accumulating and developing.
However, no matter how well prepared you were, in the end, the battle still depended on how you reacted on the spot. Maybe B was at a disadvantage and was about to lose, but the commentator saw that the situation wasn't good and said something bad. Then, A immediately made a mistake, and B seized the opportunity to turn the tables and KO the opponent. This situation was not uncommon.
Battles were full of surprises, and surprises made battles even more interesting.
There were still four or five months before the opportunity to go to Galaxy appeared. It was the time when the Division Tournament was held. As the saying went, war was good for making money. Han Xiao wanted to grab this opportunity to accumulate more. Currently, in Blue Star, only the players were of the most value to him.
After the opening match, it was the normal qualifiers. There were referees in all ten arenas, and the battles would take place at the same time. The big screen would broadcast the dazzling moves of each arena from time to time. The 100,000 players who signed up went through the first audition. Everything was simple, and a battle would end in about ten minutes.
In the later stages of the qualifiers, the pace of the audition would be slowed down, and the remaining players would be introduced.
Mad Blade and Pork Bun's matches were not on that day. Han Xiao casually watched a few matches before opening the forums.
At this time, many players were discussing the opening match. Hao Tian's performance was outstanding, and many people were optimistic. Words of praise were everywhere. Long Sky Club also made an official announcement to celebrate Hao Tian's victory in the opening match.
…
A few days later …
The qualifiers were in full swing. The enthusiasm of the players was high, and Han Xiao was secretly making a fortune.
Other than selling items, building machinery, and sparring with Hella, he spent most of his free time watching the matches, mainly the team matches. Two teams fought in a random terrain, and each team had six players.
Pugilist, Esper, and Mechanic. These three classes could be divided into different styles, forming many tactical combinations. They also had to make use of the terrain, so team battles were much more exciting than individual battles.
The normal team configuration was Main Tank + Melee Vanguard + Ranged Attacker + Control. The exact number of people varied depending on the strategy.
Pugilists were naturally melee fighters and often acted as the Main Tank.
Espers could be used in all kinds of positions. Because the players had different Esper Abilities, they could be used in melee, ranged, and control. They were the jack of all trades.
