Nothing Prophecy's performance was not bad. He performed at his best. He managed to survive twenty hits from Xu Huai.
Even though the duel lasted less than two minutes, it was the longest 'battle' Xu Huai Shang had ever fought in since the start of the S3 competition. In the previous nine rounds, Xu Huai Shang rarely lost to her opponents after ten moves, not counting the fact that her opponents ran away from the start of the duel.
Of course, for the majority of the audience, the difference between "losing within ten moves" and "losing within twenty moves" was something they didn't understand and didn't care about … Thus, after this battle, Prophecy's evaluation and popularity didn't change much. He was still as miserable as before.
By the way, one month later, he finally changed his game ID under the suggestion of the company's management team. However, that was a digression.
Now that the three matches were over, the score was three to zero.
The focal battle between Mountain River and Hell Frontline ended with Hell Frontline continuing to maintain the "sweeping record".
Fortunately, Qiu Fengse's "vanguard battle" was not bad. Judging from the process of the match, he was infinitely close to winning. This also saved some face for the team. If the process of the first match was the same as the last two, then [Mountain River] would have lost too sullenly.
…
To make a long story short, once the match was over, Brother Jue and the others returned to the meeting room. They immediately opened the in-game livestream channel. They wanted to see how the other matches were going.
First was the match between Order and Star. From the "3: 0" score on the channel, it was obvious that the match was over.
This was not a surprising result. After all, the difference in ability between the two teams was obvious. However, the formation that Order used for this match was different from the one they used against non-professional teams. When they were fighting against amateur teams, they used Understanding Death as the starter, followed by Ye Zhi and Barcode, and Lying Drunk as the third player. However, in this round, they used Meng Jingchan as the starter, followed by Understanding Death and Sashimi, and Lying Drunk as the third player.
Although the result was still a clean sweep, it was obvious that [Order] valued [Star] more, so they strengthened their lineup for the first three rounds.
Their train of thought was very clear. Unless they were facing a very threatening team like [Gods], there was no need to consider the balance of the formation. They would try their best to defeat their opponents within three rounds. This way, less information would be exposed.
Therefore, it was difficult for Star to escape this calamity.
Then, he looked at the match between World of Martial Arts and Wind and Cloud …
When Feng Bujue and the others' match ended, World of Martial Arts was already leading 2: 0, and the General Tournament was still ongoing.
Even though Laughing at the Heavens from the Laughing Sword and Saber had announced his retirement and would not be participating in this S3, Jianghu was still very strong. Blade Runner, Bladeless Swordsman, Not a Scaredy Cat, and Bu Tiange … These four main players were all top players, and their overall strength was more than one level higher than Wind and Cloud.
If nothing went wrong, it was only a matter of time before [Wind and Cloud] was defeated.
Finally, there was a focal battle, which was the battle between [Loser Alliance] and [Frost Monarch] … That was more of a stalemate.
From the battle records displayed at the side of the channel, [Loser Alliance] sent out [Seven Kills], who almost instantly killed [Hot Afternoon] from [Frost Monarch]. In the middle battle, the combination of [Weary Dream] and [Shadow King] fought against [A Name Is So Hard] (specialized in healing and combat) and [A Name Is So Hard] (specialized in combat and spiritual spells). This battle took a long time, but in the end, [Loser Alliance] won. Then … in the General Tournament, [Flying Pegasus] lost to [A Name Is So Hard] within a minute. It was not hard to see that … this was a strategic victory. [Frost Monarch] had obviously guessed Brother Ma's appearance before the match and successfully sniped him. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to let a person who specialized in shooting play as the second player.
In conclusion, after the first three matches, the total score of the two teams was 2: 1. At this moment, the General Tournament was about to begin.
The people from [Underworld Frontline] also locked the livestream on this match.
…
"The match will start in thirty seconds."
Once the system announced, the contestants entered the stage.
From [Loser Alliance], it was [Hong Hu] and [Uncle Worthless]; from [Frost Monarch], it was [Atobe-sama] and [Black White Gray].
"Humph … So, he did leave Teacher Ji as the last 'general' to hold the fort …" Once he saw the two, Atobe scoffed. "That Ambitionist … sure is merciless …"
"Although your tone sounds quite relaxed, can I take what you're saying to mean that … we're hanging in the balance?" After joining [Frost Monarch], Black White Gray had undoubtedly inherited their studio's glorious tradition — whenever they had the chance, they would mock or bully the president.
"Pfft! What's there to be worried about? "Atobe added." Who knows who will win before the match? I'm also very strong, okay? "
"Then, I'm dragging you down, right?" Black White Gray smirked.
"Fine, fine … My lady, you're stronger than me, okay?" Even though Atobe did not have much self-control, he was still a gentleman. He often argued with the three members of [Ming Nan Nan], so when he was mocked by the girls, he would endure it if he could … but when he could not, he would endure it.
On the other hand, on the other side of the barrier …
Uncle Worthless maintained his posture with his arms crossed before his chest. With a defeated expression, he mumbled weakly, "It feels good to have a girl in the team …"
"What are you trying to say?" Hong Hu heard the hidden meaning in the man's words and narrowed his eyes.
"It's nothing … I just want to mock you …" Uncle Worthless said. "Along the way, every team that we've met … seems to have a female member …"
"So what?" Hong Hu forced himself to use a nonchalant tone.
"Actually, I went to the official website yesterday to check. Of the remaining fifty-three teams, our team is the only one with all male members …" Uncle Worthless added.
"That's why I'm asking you … so what?" Hong Hu was getting impatient.
"Tsk …" Uncle Worthless put on a thoughtful expression. "Tell me … why didn't we think of recruiting a female member back then?"
"Of course, because we already have seven male members," Hong Hu replied.
"Sigh … We're all players who don't have a studio, so we should have the freedom to form a team. How did we end up forming a team that only consists of men …" Uncle Worthless acted like he did not hear Hong Hu and continued to talk to himself.
"What's the point of saying that now?" Hong Hu said. "Back then, if you'd suggested … for Ol 'Bi to give up his spot and recruit a female member, how hard would it have been? Other people aside, Ol 'Bi himself would have been the first to agree. "
"I just didn't think about it …" Uncle Worthless said. "When I came to, everyone was already there …" He shrugged helplessly. "Now that I saw the other team have a female member, I couldn't help but sigh."
"If you really care that much, why don't you switch into a female outfit in the next round?" Hong Hu added. "Perhaps the other team will be so scared that they'll disconnect when they see you, and we'll win without a fight."
After that, he paused for half a second before adding, "Oh … but that's only if … we have a 'next round'."
Even though the two of them were chatting happily, they were actually under a lot of pressure. Only the members of the [Trash Alliance] knew that they had arranged a "four-match lineup". Teacher Feng, who was left for the last match, wasn't there to "hold the line". Instead, he had "never planned to fight".
To put it simply … if Hong Hu and Uncle Worthless failed to win this double match, causing the score to be 2-2, then … they would most likely be eliminated.
Of course, pressure was one thing. In terms of ability, they still had the upper hand.
Even though Atobe was already one of the top players, from a professional perspective, he was still a new player who had been in the game for only one year. Black, White, and Gray, who were his support, were not as strong as Ye Zhi from Regulation.
According to the hard power of both sides, if they fought normally … the chances of [Ice Emperor] winning were very slim. Hence, the only thing that concerned Hong Hu was … whether or not the other party had some tricks up his sleeves that he had never revealed before and could only use once …
