Chapter 177 Gap

The five members of Zhan Lou Lan were even more shocked this time.

If Little North’s Gui Qu Lai Xi could be said to have lost without much suspense, then the previous match of Qian Fang Ge Hai could be said to have lost quite embarrassingly.

To be directly juggled to death in mid-air was a very rare situation in the pro league. No matter how great the God and how inexperienced the rookie, the gap shouldn't be that big.

"What's going on?" Zhan Lou Lan asked with some depression when Qian Fang Ge Hai lost.

"He grasped the rhythm too well, making judgments in advance every time, targeting my intentions," Qian Fang Ge Hai said.

"Your intentions?"

"Yes, he saw right through them." Qian Fang Ge Hai said. This alone showed that their level was indeed extraordinary, at least they understood why they lost and weren't utterly confused.

"Xiao Ye, you go!" Zhan Lou Lan said in a deep voice. They hadn't originally cared about winning or losing, but these two consecutive losses made them feel a bit embarrassed. Even if the other side was a pro god, they didn't regard themselves as ordinary players. Their goal was to be pro players too. If the gap between pro players was this big, wouldn't that be a joke?

"Okay."

The player called Xiao Ye had a character named Ye Xi, a grappler.

"Xiao Ye, add oil!" Little North shouted from the side again. Ye Xi didn't joke with him like Qian Fang Ge Hai. He just entered the arena and quickly started the match with Ye Xiu.

This time, Ye Xi completely put away his playful, testing mentality and played very seriously, as if it were a real match.

Grappler was a class that absolutely required close combat, while Ye Xiu continued the tactics he used against Qian Fang Ge Hai in the previous match, using low-level skills from both Elementalist and Witch classes for mid-to-long-range control, with the Battle Mage's attacks ready to be unleashed.

This match finally didn't have the easy, one-sided situation of the previous two matches, and Zhan Lou Lan was finally relieved. Little North and Qian Fang Ge Hai were a little embarrassed. Ye Xi's level wasn't necessarily stronger than theirs. Obviously, this was a matter of attitude. If they were serious, they really shouldn't have been so easily defeated by the God.

Of course, an important reason was that they were caught off guard by the God in the two matches. In a situation where both sides lacked information about each other, Ye Xiu's experience as a God was a great advantage.

Although Ye Xi ultimately lost, at least he lost within an acceptable range. After he came down, Zhan Lou Lan finally personally took to the field.

Their five-person team also had one other person, a woman named Qian Ye Li Ruo. Her class was a Cleric, and it seemed she wasn't planning to play. This indicated that she was a support-type Cleric, and it would be meaningless to go on stage for a solo battle.

"God, please give me lots of pointers!" Zhan Lou Lan said the polite opening remarks after coming on stage.

"Easy, easy. It's a pity about your Zhanfeng in the modified arena," Ye Xiu said. The modification in the modified arena was to uniformly adjust the basic attributes and equipment attributes of each character, bringing both sides to the same level. Although Zhanfeng could change its attack power by changing the item shortcut bar, each time the data was changed, it would undergo a modification in the modified arena, so the final displayed attribute was still at the same level, so it couldn't reflect its fierce attack boost ability.

"It's about skill, equipment doesn't matter," Zhan Lou Lan said.

"The mastery of Zhanfeng also reflects the level of skill!" Ye Xiu said.

"Okay." Zhan Lou Lan nodded. He naturally had a lot of research on this weapon, since he used it. It wasn't just about increasing the attack power to the highest level. If 12 weapons were really placed in the 12 item shortcut slots, the impact of weight had to be considered. Therefore, the ratio that felt the most comfortable to operate required a long period of adjustment.

However, in the modified arena, there was no need to consider these things for the time being. After Zhan Lou Lan said "Let's begin," the two sides immediately entered the battle.

Zhan Lou Lan also didn't let his guard down at all, and fought this match as seriously as Ye Xi.

"Oh, oh... You're good. You're a bit stronger than the three of them." Ye Xiu gave his evaluation in the middle of the battle.

"Thank you!" Zhan Lou Lan responded. But this wasn't new to them. They often sparred with each other, and they knew their strengths and weaknesses.

"But it looks like the God is still stronger," Zhan Lou Lan continued. Halfway through the battle, judging from the remaining health of both sides and the overall situation, Zhan Lou Lan was at a disadvantage.

"That's to be expected," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

This match ultimately didn't have any ups and downs, and it ended quietly. Zhan Lou Lan finally failed to win a match from Ye Xiu. Their soon-to-be-established team, with four people taking turns, lost completely. Although they had thought about not taking the wins and losses to heart, it was undoubtedly a blow to morale.

They could only watch videos and match recordings in the past, and then compare themselves with professional players and gods. This was the first time they had truly fought against a professional God, which made them truly feel the gap. Losing all four matches wasn't the key. The key was the gap they felt in the four matches, which made them feel that it wouldn't be so easy to close.

At this time, they lacked Tang Rou's spirit of not seeing the gap at all, the fearless spirit of a newborn calf.

"Try again?" Zhan Lou Lan discussed with his teammates, and then heard Ye Xiu asking spiritedly, "What class do you want to challenge?"

"Uh... Then let's try out the Lord Grim you're using now!" Zhan Lou Lan and the others said after discussing.

"Oh, this one, huh... This one is even more powerful." Ye Xiu said, switching accounts and logging in as Lord Grim. The 20-level difference was of course nonexistent in the modified arena. The four of Zhan Lou Lan's side were still in the same order as before, with one person playing a match at a time.

As a result... As a result, Zhan Lou Lan really regretted their decision to find Lord Grim to try again.

In these four consecutive battles, they lost even more miserably than before.

Facing the Battle Mage, Little North and Qian Fang Ge Hai were a bit too casual, and they were also somewhat unprepared for Ye Xiu's tactics, so they were caught off guard. Then, Ye Xi and Zhan Lou Lan, who went on stage later, were obviously much better.

And this round, starting from Little North, they were already very serious. The ones who went on stage later were also after watching and thinking, but after going on stage, they still lost miserably.

Facing this unspecialized character with a complete mix of 24 class skills, the four of them were obviously completely unable to keep up with their experience and judgment. In the end, after the four of them fell back one after another, the Cleric Qian Ye Li Ruo silently said, "Even if it was a team arena, you would have lost this round."

What the team arena meant was that the total damage caused by the four people to Lord Grim wouldn't be enough to exhaust his life. This seemed like four one-on-one battles, but in reality, it could be said to be a one-vs-four.

The four of them were silent. It wasn't that they weren't prepared for the gap, but they didn't expect it to be so big. The previous ambition now seemed very naive and illusory.

"Handsome!" Chen Guo completely didn't understand the feelings of the losing side and praised Ye Xiu greatly.

"That's to be expected," Ye Xiu said with a smile as usual.

"Let's call it a day for today..." Zhan Lou Lan said, his tone clearly showing a lack of energy.

Everyone left the arena, standing on both sides of the door, and no one spoke for a while.

"What's going on? This doesn't look like someone who's going to play in a pro match!" Ye Xiu said.

"With such a big gap, what pro match are we even playing?" Little North couldn't help but say what was on his mind.

"You don't really think that as soon as you enter the pro league, you can immediately win a championship, do you?" Ye Xiu said.

"That was a joke," Zhan Lou Lan said. "But we always thought that we should be able to make the playoffs."

"And then, with a bit of good luck in the playoffs, you might accidentally win the championship, right?" Ye Xiu smiled.

"Uh... This..." Zhan Lou Lan was a little embarrassed, because they really had this kind of fantasy. Because the playoffs were an elimination system, sometimes a mistake could bury the efforts of the entire season. At this time, luck would undoubtedly be a very important factor. If they really had an explosion of good luck, they might just混(hùn - muddle through) their way to a championship. So, when they chatted privately, they actually had a lot of this kind of fantasy.

"Be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time..." Ye Xiu said.

"If we enter the pro league now, where would we rank?" Little North couldn't help but ask.

"Do you only have these people? Where are the other teammates?" Ye Xiu asked.

"We have six people. One of them hasn't been around for the past few days, but his level is about the same as ours. I'm planning to find a way to supplement the others," Zhan Lou Lan said.

"Are you poaching pro players?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Probably," Zhan Lou Lan said.

"Do you have any good candidates in mind?" Ye Xiu asked.

Zhan Lou Lan hesitated. The team was already prepared to this stage. He had actually already found a list of candidates. After the alliance's application was approved, he would immediately start contacting them without any changes. However, personnel matters were relatively confidential, and Zhan Lou Lan was a little hesitant whether it was convenient to talk to Ye Xiu about it at this time.

Ye Xiu didn't even wait for him to answer, and continued, "You definitely need pro players, and they must be veterans. Don't think that the six of you are the main force, and then just find four or five people to be substitutes and play rotations."

"Uh..." The five of them all showed the same expression, all covered in sweat. Obviously, that was what they were planning to do.

"For the pro league, you're all just rookies!" Ye Xiu said. "You need to find veterans and learn a lot from them."

"Okay..." Zhan Lou Lan replied.

"And..." Ye Xiu said.

The five of them pricked up their ears.

"Don't take today's match too seriously," Ye Xiu said. "It's not that you're not good enough, it's that the opponent is too strong."

The five of them were all in tears, and they forgot to send their expressions. Was it appropriate for you, the opponent, to say this???
