Chapter 71 Violence

"Yes!" Liang Fang responded. This time, it wasn't a probe but a real attack. He slammed the keyboard, and his character, Xue Feng (Blood Madman), stood still and shook his arms. A blood glow emanated from his body; he had activated the Berserker's level 25 skill, "Rage."

The Rage state lasts for 20 seconds. Within these 20 seconds, the character's strength, attack speed, movement speed, and resistance to status effects are all significantly increased, but intelligence, physical defense, and magical defense are greatly reduced. Each level requires 20 skill points and can reach a maximum of 10 levels. It's an essential skill for Berserkers to enhance their output.

Liang Fang opened with Rage right away, which suited his personality. He wanted to determine the outcome in a short time, as long battles were what Liang Fang disliked the most.

After Ye Xiu recognized that the opponent was from the Tiny Herb team, he instantly guessed their intention and shook his head helplessly.

"Boss, let's talk later!" Ye Xiu said to Chen Guo.

"Oh, oh, hurry up!" Chen Guo was even more anxious than Ye Xiu at this moment.

Ye Xiu tapped the keyboard with his left hand to move, while his right hand reached for the headset. In such high-level competition, the use of sound is essential. Glory is entirely in the first-person perspective, so the movements behind you are mainly judged by listening. Experienced professional players can determine the distance of an opponent behind them by the size of their footsteps, and the frequency of footsteps can determine the opponent's movement speed.

Ye Xiu put on his headset and immediately heard the heavy footsteps of Xue Feng rushing over. He turned his view and saw Xue Feng, with bloodshot eyes, slashing at him with a sword.

Berserker level 5 skill: Heavy Blow. Fully utilizes the weapon's weight; damage is proportional to the weapon's weight. Xue Feng's Broken Water Giant Sword weighs 5 kilograms, more than twice as much as Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. This Heavy Blow had amazing momentum. Ye Xiu didn't confront him head-on, but jumped away.

The Heavy Blow smashed into the ground with a thunderous boom, and a small pit appeared where Lord Grim had just jumped. Ye Xiu pushed the mouse, and Lord Grim stabbed straight forward with a Dragon Tooth. As a result, Liang Fang didn't let Xue Feng dodge, but raised his sword for a Reverse Draw, wanting to meet Lord Grim head-on.

The spear hit Xue Feng's chest first, but there was no stun. In the Rage state, resistance to abnormal states is increased. The stun effect of Dragon Tooth is generally weak, so it naturally didn't work this time.

The Reverse Draw's giant sword swung over, carrying the mud from the ground. Lord Grim retreated after the move, dodging the blow.

Liang Fang was stunned and immediately realized that the attack speed of the spear in Lord Grim's hand wasn't the slowest attack speed of 1 as he had expected. His head-on approach failed because of the disadvantage in attack speed.

Professional-level confrontations are like this; any detail can reveal a lot of information.

Although Liang Fang's Xue Feng had activated Rage, even if it was Rage at max level, the attack speed would only increase by +1, which was far from the 5 attack speed of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella!

Although being slow doesn't necessarily mean losing, Liang Fang's current opponent is a top-level god, and a spear-type weapon with an attack speed of 5 is simply monstrous. Ye Xiu, making full use of this advantage, easily suppressed Liang Fang's Xue Feng. After 20 seconds, Xue Feng's Rage state ended, and the goal of a quick battle was obviously not achieved at all.

While dealing with Xue Feng, Ye Xiu observed the others and noticed that the other ten seemed to have no intention of attacking, even when Lord Grim deliberately moved into their attack range.

Ye Xiu smiled, and suddenly his hand speed exploded. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in Lord Grim's hand instantly changed three forms, completing three different class skill attacks. Xue Feng was sent flying, but professional players naturally have no problem with ukemi (recovery skill). Xue Feng rolled and was about to stand up when Ye Xiu's Lord Grim used Shadow Clone Technique to move to that position, obviously the distance of the flying was completely within his calculations.

Before Xue Feng could stand up, he was grabbed and beaten again. After struggling for a while, he finally died. Liang Fang sat in front of the computer in a daze. From beginning to end, he couldn't find any opportunity to take advantage of. Suppression, complete suppression. Every intention, every action was within the opponent's expectations. The opponent's initial operations didn't seem fast, but he slowly suppressed him to death. Then his hand speed exploded, and the result was instant death.

The game was silent.

The Tiny Herb training room was also silent.

"Xiao Bie, you go up," Wang Jiexi said, pointing to someone.

"Yes," one person responded.

Liu Xiaobie, a rather strange name, is known in the Alliance for his hand speed.

Even professional players have fast and slow hand speeds. Liu Xiaobie's APM (Actions Per Minute) ranks first in Tiny Herb, but in terms of operational hand speed, he loses to his captain Wang Jiexi. Professional players know that APM is for show, while operational hand speed has real combat value. From this perspective, Liu Xiaobie still needs to improve; his hand speed hasn't been fully utilized.

Liu Xiaobie's class is Swordsman. Hearing the captain's order, he immediately had his character step forward.

Dao Dao Ba Dao (Blade Blade Draw Blade), level 27 Swordsman, Light Sword Mastery, weapon is a level 25 purple Light Shadow Sword, physical attack 233, magic attack 253, additional strength 11 points, 2% chance to stun the opponent when attacking.

"Wait," Ye Xiu suddenly spoke, startling everyone.

"Are you planning to play a team arena?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yes," Wang Jiexi actually answered. Lord Grim was standing right in front of his Fiery Blaze, and Liang Fang's Xue Feng was killed by Lord Grim under his nose.

"Too troublesome," Ye Xiu said.

"Then what do you say?" Wang Jiexi asked.

"Directly to team competition!" Ye Xiu said.

A wave of uproar. This guy actually wanted to play a team competition with their ten people, but he was just one person. And the ten people here are not ordinary ten people. This is the Tiny Herb team, last year's champion team, and this year they are the strongest contenders for the championship, hoping to become the second team after Excellent Era to create consecutive championships. When have they ever been so despised? Everyone was furious on the spot. Liu Xiaobie, who had already moved his character out, shouted, "Captain, let me go and destroy him!!!"

"What's wrong?" Liang Fang, who had resurrected, was running towards them, not knowing what had been said here.

"That guy actually said he wanted to take on our entire team by himself, damn it!" a teammate next to him said.

Liang Fang was stunned, wanting to say something, but held back.

He was defeated, defeated in frustration, defeated in suffocation, but not at all unconvinced. The opponent's experience, awareness, skills, and operations were all above him, plus the early-stage advantage of the versatile class... To be honest, Liang Fang had never seen a versatile class before. The versatile class was already a legend when he started playing Glory. He had only heard some old members say how powerful the versatile class was in the early stages. Today, he had personally witnessed it, and it was clearly more abnormal than what those old members had described. The versatile class's attacks were simply unpredictable. Although they were only low-level skills, they encompassed 24 classes. Who knew what his next move would be?

Even with such an advantage, it still exists at high levels. What the versatile class lacks is the explosive power of high-level skills.

As far as the present is concerned, Liang Fang really wants to say that in a solo match, everyone is probably not his opponent. Even if the captain personally takes command, Liang Fang doesn't dare to have too much confidence. He is a professional player, and he has a clear judgment, not like those loyal fans who only believe in the strength of their idols.

But saying this now is inevitably suspected of boosting others' morale. Besides, even if this person is strong, to say that he wants to challenge their entire team alone, even Liang Fang, who knows how terrifying the opponent is, feels that this is a bit too exaggerated.

"Captain!! I'm going!" Liu Xiaobie shouted again, took a deep breath, and made his move!

The Swordsman, Dao Dao Ba Dao, used a Triple Slash to instantly move in front of Lord Grim, and attacked with an Upward Slash.

With a "clang," Lord Grim instantly drew his sword and used a Guard to retreat.

Blade Draw!

The thought flashed through Liu Xiaobie's mind subconsciously. At this time, the Swordsman would definitely use the Blade Draw skill with a larger range to add to the attack.

Gotta be fast!

Liu Xiaobie is a hand speed expert, and his favorite fighting style is of course to compete in operations and hand speed. At this moment, the thought flashed through his mind, and his fingers quickly flashed. Dao Dao Ba Dao sheathed his sword and unsheathed it! The light of the Blade Draw instantly lit up...

"Tatatatatata..."

Responding to him was a string of crisp and beautiful machine gun fire. The light of Dao Dao Ba Dao's Blade Draw disappeared instantly. He was covered in blood bubbles and trembled from being hit by bullets. If this wasn't a game, he would have been riddled with holes long ago.

Gunner skill: Gatling Gun.

At this time, Liu Xiaobie, like Liang Fang, understood what a versatile class was and what it meant for attacks to be unpredictable.

He still wanted to compete in hand speed with others, to see who could draw their blade faster! As a result, the other person didn't play Blade Draw at all. He retreated and used a Gatling Gun.

Is the attack range of Blade Draw longer than a gun?

A series of bullets made Liu Xiaobie lose his temper. As soon as the Gatling Gun finished, a flash of light, the opponent's Blade Draw suddenly came again at this time. Liu Xiaobie is worthy of being a hand speed expert. In this little bit of time, he had already completed the block operation. Dao Dao Ba Dao held his sword up, and with a "clang," he parried the Blade Draw. Just as he was being forcibly knocked back, he heard three consecutive cannon shots. The opponent's sword turned into a gun again, a Launcher skill, Anti-Tank Gun.

Liu Xiaobie wanted to dodge, but was still hit by one shot. These three cannonballs were not in a straight line. The opponent used the Three-Point Shot, and the three cannonballs formed a triangle, covering a range. No matter how Dao Dao Ba Dao moved, he would end up getting hit by one of the shots.

What followed was basically a display of low-level skills, without warning and unpredictable. Like Liang Fang, Liu Xiaobie had only heard from seniors about the versatile class that was rampant for a while. This time, it was also his first experience with the versatile class.

Defeated, Liu Xiaobie was ultimately defeated without controversy. And like Liang Fang, he was defeated miserably, defeated without any chance. This shouldn't have happened to a professional player. Even when facing a god-level opponent, such as his own captain, he wouldn't see any chance of winning throughout the entire process!

There should always be an opportunity, it just depends on whether the individual can seize it.

But in the battle with Lord Grim, Liu Xiaobie, like Liang Fang, ultimately discovered that there was only one chance to not lose: don't go up and challenge him.
