In this battle, Xiao Tan's opponent was indeed a player who specialized in fighting. His ID was Southern Fist Northern Kick Chuunibyou Syndrome. The man looked to be in his twenties. He had a ponytail and was wearing a blue kung fu robe. There was no guild emblem on the robe. Overall, this person's appearance was quite a bit like a lone ranger, but his nickname exposed his true nature of being a lone ranger.
'Hmm … Based on the opponent's stance, he is probably like me … without any long-ranged attacks,' Southern Fist Northern Kick Chuunibyou Syndrome thought. He was still coming up with a plan when Xiao Tan spoke first. "Hey, Chuunibyou Syndrome! Can you hear me? "
"What are you doing?" Chuunibyou Syndrome roared back in a similar voice.
Even though the distance between the two was not that far, due to the howling wind, they could only yell.
"You don't have any long-ranged attacks, right?" Xiao Tan asked.
"Hmm …" Chuunibyou Syndrome hesitated. "What does that have to do with you?" Being asked that in the middle of a battle, how could he answer?
"Definitely not!" Xiao Tan roared. "I don't have any either!"
'Hey, hey … isn't this guy being a bit too friendly …' Chuunibyou Syndrome complained internally. Then he shouted, "So what if I don't have any?"
"Then how about we fight on the rope?" Xiao Tan asked again.
When Chuunibyou Syndrome heard that, he was stunned. Several seconds later, he replied, "Are you crazy?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Tan replied.
"F * ck … this guy is serious …" Chuunibyou Syndrome mumbled to himself. He lifted his eyes to look at the rope that was hanging in midair. "Fight while standing on it …" He shook his head and immediately chased that thought out of his mind. "Even though I have confidence that I can stand or run on it, to fight while standing there … and in such a strong wind, that's a bit too much …"
"Stop joking! Who would fall for that! If you're so good, why don't you go up there! "Chuunibyou Syndrome roared.
"Okay! I'll go up first! "Xiao Tan actually responded. Then, he leaped lightly and stood on the steel cable. Although his position was still above the elevator, his feet were indeed on the steel cable, and he was standing quite firmly.
"Hmm … I get it now. This guy is an idiot …" Sophomore Syndrome came to that conclusion in his heart. He continued to yell, "Since you're already up there, why don't you come over? Let's fight on top of my elevator! "
Xiao Tan replied without hesitation, "You want to attack me while I'm running, right?"
"You saw through it instantly …" Sophomore Syndrome's expression betrayed him. He shouted angrily, "F * ck! You know it too! In this case, it's obviously more advantageous to stay on the elevator and defend! "
"Isn't it too embarrassing for both of them to stay where they are and not make any progress?" Xiao Tan said, "Besides, this will be judged as AFGs!"
"Okay!" Sophomore Syndrome said, "Then come over here. I promise I won't shoot you."
"But you don't have a gun with you," Xiao Tan replied. "By the way, the hand that you're hiding behind your back is already holding some kind of hidden weapon, right? You promise you won't shoot me, and then you'll throw the hidden weapon at me, right? "
"Damn it …" Sophomore Syndrome was exposed again. "Stop wasting my time! If you have the balls, come over here! "
"I will not trust you anymore!" Xiao Tan said. "You should come over here!"
"Humph …" Sophomore Syndrome scoffed. "To put it bluntly, you don't have the guts, right?"
"If you do, come over here." Xiao Tan refused to back down.
…
At the same time, inside Feng Bujue's conference room …
The three from Underworld Frontline were naturally watching the livestream of this match.
At that moment, Laughing Soul was using her head to knock against the table again and again. Passing Rain looked at the screen expressionlessly. And Brother Jue … held his chin with one hand and commented with a helpless gaze, "Two idiots …"
"Even though there might not be that many viewers watching Xiao Tan's match, the players who fought against them in the preliminaries might be watching," Passing Rain said.
"Ah … It is indeed a bit embarrassing, but … it doesn't matter. After all, you can see similar scenes on TV every summer, "Feng Bujue said.
"What do you mean by that?" Passing Rain asked.
Feng Bujue did not say anything. He jumped onto the table and pointed at the empty table. "Do you dare come up here?"
Then he jumped down again and stood at the spot that he had pointed at, facing the table. "Do you dare come down here?"
Passing Rain smiled knowingly. "Quicksand River?"
"Cousin …" Laughing Soul still had her head lowered like she was too ashamed to face anyone. "Your sense of humor is being dragged down by the guild leader … If this continues, it will be very dangerous."
…
After Sophomore Syndrome and Xiao Tan yelled at each other for a while, since both of their throats were hoarse, they did not continue.
At that moment, Sophomore Syndrome noticed the change on the other side.
Xiao Tan had climbed back into the elevator and started to shake the elevator violently. The elevator was like a swing, and it swung back and forth parallel to the steel cable.
"Is he trying to use this method to shorten the distance between the two elevators?" Sophomore Syndrome thought. "Hmm … Regardless of whether this method is effective or not, at least he is trying his best … If I continue to wait like this, I'll soon be judged by the system as AFKing."
After shaking the elevator about thirty times, Xiao Tan jumped onto the roof of the elevator and looked at Sophomore Syndrome. "Hey, am I getting closer to you?"
"Huh?" Sophomore Syndrome was startled and thought to himself, If I tell him the truth and tell him that the distance has not shortened, then he will give up on this move, but if I lie to him that the distance has shortened … he will continue to waste his Stamina Points. Hmm … "
As the saying goes, all is fair in war. After a few seconds of internal struggle, Sophomore Syndrome replied, "It seems to have shortened a little!"
"Oh!" Hearing that, Xiao Tan returned to the elevator and continued to swing.
"Humph … Even though I feel a bit guilty, a competition is still a competition … You can only blame yourself for being too naive." Sophomore Syndrome thought to himself. "When you have exhausted more than half of your Stamina Points and are unable to use any powerful skills, I will charge at you from the steel cable. By then, even if I take a few mid-ranged attacks from you, it will be fine … As long as it evolves into a close-range battle, I will win. "
"Hmm? Wait a minute … "Sophomore Syndrome repeated his plan in his heart, and then he thought of something." Hey! Isn't this the perfect time to get closer? This guy is inside the elevator, so he can't see me! "
That's right … The two elevators that were hanging from the steel cable were in a 'back to back' state. The doors of the two elevators were facing the opposite side of the steel cable. Therefore, Xiao Tan, who had returned to the elevator, would not be able to see what Sophomore Syndrome was doing.
"I knew it … Idiocy is contagious …" Sophomore Syndrome grumbled as he climbed up the steel cable. "I was almost disrupted by his actions …"
He stood on the steel cable and prepared to charge toward Xiao Tan's elevator.
"I should use this chance to run over and break the large lock on the top of his elevator. Then he'll be done for …" With that thought in mind, Sophomore Syndrome prepared to make his move.
But … he was suddenly reminded of something, and he stopped.
"Even though I don't want to admit it, didn't he see through my plan earlier?" Sophomore Syndrome started another internal struggle. "What if this guy is pretending to be dumb to lure me over?" He mumbled. "Perhaps … even if he stays inside the elevator, he can grasp my movement. Once I reach the middle of the steel cable, he will jump out from the elevator and ambush me."
Just as he was thinking, Xiao Tan exited the elevator again. He jumped on the steel cable and gasped for air. "Hey! How come it doesn't feel like we've closed the distance? "
Sophomore Syndrome's train of thought was pulled back. He hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "Ah? Ah … that … that's probably just your imagination. I've been watching, and I've indeed closed the distance by several meters! "
"Okay …" Xiao Tan answered and returned to the elevator that was still moving. The elevator continued to shake.
"Hmm … looks like I've been overthinking things." Sophomore Syndrome revealed a wicked smile that was unique to Sophomore Syndrome. He thought to himself, Humph … my cautiousness is a double-edged sword … Thankfully, this guy is so gullible. The chance is still right before my eyes.
Finally, after giving it some thought, Sophomore Syndrome started to move down the steel cable.
A distance of fifty meters, a steel cable that was less than twenty centimeters wide. For a player who was above level 30 and had decent movement skills, it wasn't a difficult obstacle to overcome. If there was no accident, he would only need six to seven seconds to cross it.
Even with the interference of the wind, Sophomore Syndrome did not waste any time. He successfully reached the steel cable above Xiao Tan's elevator.
"Bye bye …" Sophomore Syndrome activated his skill and slashed down with both palms.
Name: Green Dragon Claw
Skill Card Property: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: Deliver a punch that can split metal and stone with both palms (Cooldown time of twenty minutes)
Consumption: 600 Stamina Points
Learning Requirement: Fighting C
Remark: This skill evolved from the first style of Tian Gang Fist. The best way to unleash this skill is to raise both palms before your chest, turn your palms down, straighten your legs, and punch out with both palms. — — —
At that moment, Sophomore Syndrome used the skill's standard posture to activate this skill. His palms slammed together and clamped down on the hook at the top of the elevator. This would ensure that the steel cable would not break and the elevator would fall.
His plan was not bad, but …
Just as Sophomore Syndrome made his move, the side of the swaying elevator door formed an upward angle of forty-five degrees. Xiao Tan, who was inside the elevator, was gripping the handrail by the wall and exerting his strength.
Suddenly, there was a great tremor from the top.
At that moment, there was no time to think. The only thing that could save Xiao Tan was instinct. His instinct told him to jump out from the door and grab onto the steel cable.
Therefore, three seconds later, Xiao Tan's elevator fell into the abyss. And on the steel cable above the elevator, there were two figures standing.
The distance between the two was less than five meters, but the melee weapons they had were temporarily unable to reach each other. At this strange distance, the two started their confrontation …
In the end, it still ended up like this … Sophomore Syndrome thought to himself. Humph … Oh well. After all, we're both fighting players, and we're both standing on the swaying steel cable. The conditions are the same.
Eh? That's not right! If we're talking about conditions … Isn't there an elevator behind me? And I'm closer to the elevator! There's only a thin line of space for me to move around. If I turn around now and rush back to the top of the elevator, won't he become a living target? Then I'll toss the Flying Locust Rock or Thunderbolt Grenade at him …
But in the few seconds that Sophomore Syndrome was considering, Xiao Tan made his move again.
"Oh!" Xiao Tan suddenly roared and charged forward.
"What … Is he coming at me directly?" Sophomore Syndrome was not someone who would just sit there and wait for death. Even if the opponent wanted to face him head on, he was not afraid.
But to his surprise, Xiao Tan's shadow split into two, and then two merged into one, and he instantly appeared behind Sophomore Syndrome.
Shadow of the Demonic Bat helped Xiao Tan pass through his opponent's blockade and rushed toward the remaining elevator.
"What!" Sophomore Syndrome's reaction was not slow. The moment Xiao Tan's shadow split, he had already turned around. If Xiao Tan chose to turn around after passing through his opponent, he would probably be blocked.
Thankfully, Xiao Tan understood that the chance of killing a Fighter in one hit was very small. Therefore, he did not stop but continued to charge forward with the help of the skill.
"Sh * t!" Sophomore Syndrome soon realized what the opponent was trying to do, and he gave chase.
But Xiao Tan had moved earlier than him. His speed and position were much faster, so naturally, he was the first to reach the top of the elevator and stood still.
"How despicable! You used this kind of 'oh!' to confuse me and make me think that you're going to attack me, but in reality, you're going to move behind me to take up the advantageous terrain. " Sophomore Syndrome stopped in his tracks because if he moved forward now, he would be faced with a direct shot from the Winchester Shotgun, and he would not be able to dodge it.
"These words come out of the mouth of someone with the nickname 'Southern Fist Northern Kick Chuunibyou Syndrome.' It does not sound convincing at all …" Xiao Tan aimed the shotgun with a serious expression.
In the current situation, the tactical value of the shotgun was infinitely magnified. Sophomore Syndrome, who was on the rope, no matter which way he chose to approach, he would definitely be shot.
On the rope, there was limited space to stand on, and there was no space for Sophomore Syndrome to dodge. As long as he was within a certain distance, some of the scattered bullets would hit his body. Even though the power of these bullets was not enough to kill him, the force of the bullets was enough to shift his body and make him fall into the abyss.
…
"Isn't this a good fight?" Feng Bujue said as he looked at the image on the conference table.
"I think he was just lucky," Laughing Soul added. "If when the hook broke, the door was facing downward, wouldn't he have …"
"He could have returned to the rope." Feng Bujue interrupted her. "He could have jumped out of the elevator door, kicked off the falling elevator, and leaped upward. It wouldn't have mattered whether or not he was able to grab the rope. As long as he jumped higher than the rope, he could have adjusted himself in the air. " He paused. "Of course … it is not wrong to say that he was just lucky … In that situation, if the opponent reacted fast enough, they would have attacked. In comparison, the risk factor would have been higher. "
"I'm curious, if you were the one fighting in this semi-final, how would you deal with it?" Passing Rain asked.
Feng Bujue smiled. "With me around, the system wouldn't have generated such a map. I would have used Geppo to fly into the air and used two Rankyaku to cut down the rope, and the result would have been decided in ten seconds … "
"Hmm …" Passing Rain sighed. "Looks like the system did send you directly into the Battle of the Butterfly to protect the other players …"
…
'Maintaining balance on this rope is more tiring than I thought.' After facing off against Xiao Tan for a few minutes, Sophomore Syndrome thought to himself. 'In comparison, even though he needs to free his hands to hold the gun, he has a flat surface to stand on. His situation is much better than mine …' He gave a long sigh. 'Am I going to be pushed into the play-off round …?'
[I, who carry the power of Light, have torn shackles … Prayers that can't be delivered … The glory of the past is gone … At this moment, as if it resonates with the steps of despair, the powerful and extraordinary power of Darkness that is hidden in my body has awakened … After defeating the opponent in front of me, I'm going to seal my rampaging left hand …] Such a development … I don't think it's possible for it to happen.]
Looks like this Sophomore Syndrome also knows that the chance of this coming true is close to zero …
"Losing in a map like this, you must be unwilling to admit defeat, right?" Xiao Tan suddenly said. "Actually, I didn't have that much fun … No, I didn't even fight." As he said that, he put the gun down.
"Wh … what?" Sophomore Syndrome gasped. Once the words left his lips, he knew something was wrong. "Oh no, I accidentally said something that the antagonist used before they were killed …"
"I think since this competition is called 'Tournament for the Best', every participant should at least have the understanding that … 'I am stronger than my opponent'." Xiao Tan said seriously. "I can use the safe method to stand here and fight you until the end. When your stamina is depleted, you'll naturally fall into the abyss. "He changed the topic." But … I don't want to win like that. "
Xiao Tan paused for a few seconds before adding, "Do you still remember my initial suggestion?"
Sophomore Syndrome answered woodenly, "To decide the winner … on this rope?"
"That's right …" Xiao Tan said as he jumped onto the rope from the top of the elevator. He used the barrel of the shotgun to press against the hook of the elevator and snapped it with one shot. "If I said that earlier, you might have hesitated. But now … there's no turning back for you. "
As the elevator fell, Sophomore Syndrome's Terror Points started to rise … He was not afraid of the situation before him but the presence of the man before him.
"I think I can win." Xiao Tan put the shotgun away, and the tri-edge bayonet was charged. "I know … I can win."
Instantly, the black fire left behind by the Winged Owl burned on the rope. Xiao Tan jumped at the bottom of the rope, hanging upside down. In the space between heaven and earth, a murderous intent bloomed.
[Shadow Soul Chaser] whistled through the air …
