Hu Die Lan

Chapter 136 The True Unspecialized

The so-called arena battle had already seen two people defeated, utterly defeated, gloriously defeated, to the point of shattering the confidence of those who came after.

Vice-Captain Deng Fusheng stole a glance at the captain beside him. Wang Jiexi's expression was normal, seemingly unaffected. But what about the team members? Deng Fusheng looked around, and the team members all had nervous expressions on their faces, with some stealing glances at the captain. Deng Fusheng knew that they were afraid of being called out by the captain. None of the team members had the confidence to defeat Lord Grim in a one-on-one fight.

What about Lord Grim? He was sitting on the ground, eating and drinking, recovering his health and mana. Wang Jiexi didn't stop him, and none of the team members stepped forward. They weren't here to silence him, and they didn't mind Lord Grim recovering a bit. If they really had to deplete his mana to defeat him, it would be meaningless for Tiny Herb.

But what would happen next? Wang Jiexi was also hesitant.

One-on-one was no match; that was already obvious. Not to mention the team members, even he himself wasn't confident in winning. This unspecialized…

"Hehe…" A laugh suddenly rang out, not from the training room, but from the game.

At this moment, who in Tiny Herb could laugh?

The person laughing was, of course, Ye Xiu.

"I say, is it really okay to have me as a practice partner?" Ye Xiu said.

"It's a rare opportunity," Wang Jiexi replied.

"Aren't you afraid these kids will be traumatized?" Ye Xiu said.

Kids!!! Everyone except Gao Yingjie and Qiao Yifan petrified. Who were the kids?

"You're overconfident, aren't you?" Wang Jiexi said.

"Hehe." Ye Xiu laughed again. "I ask you, of everyone here, including you, who has fought a true unspecialized before?"

Silence reigned, in the game and outside.

In the training room, the Tiny Herb members looked at each other, puzzled.

Indeed, to them, the unspecialized was just a legend. The unspecialized had completely disappeared before the start of the professional alliance. Knowing about the unspecialized and being able to tell some stories about them already qualified someone as a veteran. What about Wang Jiexi? He had been in the alliance for five years, and this season was his sixth. He couldn't be said to lack experience, but when Ye Xiu led Excellent Era to three consecutive championships, he had only just started playing Glory. By then, the unspecialized had already become extinct.

Many players had ten years of Glory experience, but few remained in the professional circle. Players could play Glory for as long as they wanted, but professional players had to face competition and elimination in the professional circle. Whether they could continue wasn't something they could decide unilaterally.

The unspecialized was also a legend to Wang Jiexi. But it wasn't as if he had no experience at all.

When Wang Jiexi first joined Tiny Herb, there was an old member who had practiced the unspecialized. After the update in the third server, he didn't abandon his account or change classes like other unspecialized players. Instead, he kept the unspecialized character as a memento. Wang Jiexi learned about the unspecialized from him. He had even sparred with the old member's unspecialized, and he had a personal understanding of the unspecialized's strengths and weaknesses. After retiring, the old member gave his unspecialized account card to Wang Jiexi, who had kept it safe ever since.

Wang Jiexi still remembered what the old member said about the unspecialized: The unspecialized playstyle is a bit of a fantasy. Even without level restrictions, the weapon and the player are enough to limit the unspecialized's performance.

"Perhaps with a weapon that can use all skills and a player who is proficient in all Glory classes and has a wealth of experience, the unspecialized's abilities can be truly realized?"

This was originally a joke, but now, the joke seemed to have become reality and appeared before his eyes.

Ye Qiu, known as the textbook in Glory, proficient in all classes and rich in experience, deserved the title.

As for the weapon, the strange weapon in Lord Grim's hand had been seen by all the players and discussed in numerous messages.

Lord Grim clearly hadn't changed his weapon, but the weapon in his hand changed shape, using various skills. Sword to gun, gun to sword, and there was no cooldown for weapon switching. The well-informed professional players had already determined that this was a self-made weapon, an incredible self-made weapon.

A true unspecialized! This was a true unspecialized.

Thinking about the old member's joke, Wang Jiexi finally understood what Ye Xiu meant. A true unspecialized, this was a true unspecialized. Even in the heyday of the unspecialized, there had never been a true unspecialized like this. No one could have experience fighting such a true unspecialized.

Continue to duel Ye Qiu? Wang Jiexi looked around, seeing only worried faces. Even in last year's finals, his team members hadn't shown such expressions. At that time, some of them were nervous, but not like now, completely losing confidence in victory. Under those worried faces was no longer tension, but panic.

And they hadn't even fought Lord Grim yet, only seeing his two fights against Liang Fang and Liu Xiaobie.

What about these two?

Wang Jiexi thought, glancing at Liang Fang and Liu Xiaobie. From their faces, Wang Jiexi saw frustration and disappointment.

Wang Jiexi finally realized that Ye Qiu wasn't just being overconfident. He thought he had found a super god to practice against, but now, the super god was attacking his team's confidence and destroying his members' self-esteem. Wang Jiexi's whimsical idea had completely backfired.

What to do?

Wang Jiexi found the current situation quite tricky, and he was in a difficult position.

Continuing the one-on-one fights would only wash away everyone's confidence, perhaps even his own. Wang Jiexi realized that his mentality had also been affected. This hesitation was because the opponent's strength had deeply stimulated him. Otherwise, he would have personally stepped up to win back confidence for the team. But now, he no longer had that confidence. He was afraid, afraid that another loss would send his team's confidence crashing to the bottom, beyond recovery.

Wang Jiexi knew his position in the team. He had always been accustomed to carrying the team forward. But this time, he felt like he couldn't carry it, didn't dare to carry it. Ye Qiu was too terrifying. Just defeating two of their Tiny Herb members was enough to make even him, Wang Jiexi, feel an invisible pressure.

Leave now? But the psychological pressure created by Lord Grim had already been planted in everyone's hearts. With this psychological shadow, future skill improvement, on-the-spot performance, and continued stability could all be affected in unexpected ways. This wasn't an exaggeration. Psychological state was a very important factor in competition. Could everyone overcome this shadow with their own psychological resilience?

No!

Only by defeating Lord Grim could the psychological pressure created by Lord Grim's power be completely eradicated. But he couldn't do it alone. This time, he needed the whole team's strength. Wang Jiexi made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Everyone!"

The members were distracted. Hearing the captain's call, they quickly gathered their thoughts.

"Everyone, attack together!" they heard their captain say.

Nine people. They now had nine people. Liang Fang and Liu Xiaobie hadn't returned yet. But nine professional players, besieging one person…

"Don't be careless, let's go!" Wang Jiexi said in a deep voice. He needed to shatter the members' doubts about a nine-on-one fight. He thought he could do that with his authority in the team.

Sure enough, after hearing the captain's unquestionable command, everyone's attention immediately returned to the field.

"Oh?" Lord Grim immediately jumped up. Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Is that okay?"

Wang Jiexi knew that a nine-on-one was a bit unsportsmanlike, but he couldn't care less at this point. Perhaps such a victory would make everyone feel a little embarrassed, but that emotion was better than having an unbeatable shadow in their hearts.

"Team battle, as you wish," Wang Jiexi said, hoping to alleviate the members' embarrassment as much as possible, even if he seemed shameless.

"That's not what I meant." Ye Xiu said calmly. "I mean, if your entire team comes up now and gets wiped out, the blow would be even greater. Is that… okay?"

"Damn it!!" Hearing this, the Tiny Herb members suddenly ignited with fighting spirit. They had been timid before, and a nine-on-one fight couldn't inspire any fighting spirit. But Ye Qiu's arrogant words reignited everyone's fighting spirit.

"Thank you, you said that at just the right time," Wang Jiexi said with a smile. The embarrassment of the nine-on-one seemed to disappear because of Ye Qiu's words.

"Let's give it a try!" Ye Xiu said and suddenly acted. Lord Grim turned and ran.

"Don't run!" Wang Jiexi realized that things were progressing better than he thought. Lord Grim's running made his invincible image collapse a bit. Although running wasn't a shameful thing in a nine-on-one situation.

Wang Jiexi's Fiery Jet swept toward Lord Grim on his broom, trying to stop him with his speed advantage. But Lord Grim flashed, leaving behind a shadow clone, and his real body disappeared.

"Captain!!" The other members, not in the game, saw it clearly. Lord Grim's real body flashed into the air, attacking Fiery Jet, who was flying low on his broom.

"I know." With his experience, Wang Jiexi wouldn't be caught so easily. He flipped off the broom, just barely avoiding the attack. Then he used the broom to attack Lord Grim with the magic scholar's powerful aerial attack.
