The many skills of the unspecialized class are a huge advantage when stringing together combos. No other class could possibly have so many skills with short cooldowns. Although the damage of those skills can’t compare to higher-tier ultimate moves, if one can successfully chain together a long string of them, it can make up for the lack of damage. Of course, this also leads to more complex operations.

An ultimate move unleashed with one operation might deal the same damage as a long string of skills requiring several or even more operations from an unspecialized class, and with no mistakes allowed in between. The unspecialized class is actually quite a demanding class.

But in the hands of Ye Xiu, who had been immersed in Glory for ten years, all operations became mechanically precise.

However, his opponent was Yu Wenzhou, not a top-tier god-level player, but an absolute powerhouse in the pro scene. To be comboed to death like that was something that would only happen to Tang Rou or Rào àn Chuí Yáng.

Amidst the forced suppression, Yu Wenzhou still seized an opportunity.

With an operation, a cold light flashed. Flowing Tree drew his sword in a *bá dāo zhǎn* (unsheathing slash), the sword energy drawing a diagonal arc as it slashed straight at Lord Grim.

Lord Grim shook his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, the umbrella surface flipping into spear form, a Dragon Tooth attack preemptively stabbing toward Flowing Tree.

Two sprays of blood erupted almost simultaneously. Flowing Tree was stabbed by Dragon Tooth, while Lord Grim was injured by the sword energy.

The Dragon Tooth attack caused a slight flinch, and the *bá dāo zhǎn* sent him flying backward. But as Lord Grim flew backward, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella retracted into gun form, the tip spitting fire, firing an Anti-Tank Shell. In mid-air, he also completed a gun-shake maneuver, three Anti-Tank Shells forming a triangular volley, the resulting explosion of fire completely engulfing Flowing Tree.

Upon landing, Lord Grim performed a quick recovery, flipping to his feet, shooting nonstop as he once again closed in. Flowing Tree's *bá dāo zhǎn*, while damaging Lord Grim, had failed to interrupt his offensive. Ye Xiu made slight adjustments, and a new offensive followed immediately.

The situation hadn't changed at all. Yu Wenzhou had attempted interruptions by seizing opportunities many times. But these temporary halts couldn't regain control. Ye Xiu always managed to quickly alter his approach based on Yu Wenzhou's attacks, ensuring the continuity of his offense.

The combo count didn't seem very long, but the restrictions and suppression generated by the attacks couldn't be ignored. Moreover, many attacks actually hit, but the system didn't recognize them as part of the combo, so they weren't counted.

These are attacks that the system doesn't acknowledge, but in actual combat, they form continuous attacks. Players call them "fake combos." There are many situations in actual combat where fake combos can be formed. In the system's judgment, fake combos can be dodged. But players can't achieve the theoretical precision of the system's judgment. They often find themselves helpless against certain attacks due to subjective reasons. This is how fake combos are created.

Throughout this match, Yu Wenzhou, unlike Tang Rou or Rào àn Chuí Yáng, wasn't completely helpless, but he basically spent the entire time struggling. Yet, even in this situation, both of them were multitasking, chatting while fighting. Any normal spectator wouldn't believe that they could engage in such high-level combat while chatting so heatedly.

In the end, the airborne Flowing Tree was blasted away by Lord Grim's Palm Blossom Fist, followed by a *bá dāo zhǎn*, exhausting the last of his health. He still lost.

"You won," Yu Wenzhou said.

"It's normal," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"The unspecialized class definitely has obvious advantages, and you also have such a magical weapon. However, as the level increases, the unspecialized class will be increasingly restricted," Yu Wenzhou said.

"Hmm… what do you think the limit is?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Honestly, I don't think there's any point in discussing the unspecialized class. The conditions for playing it well are too demanding. First of all, without a weapon like the one you have, it's simply not worth considering. Secondly, only you can fully utilize the ever-changing advantages of the unspecialized class. This special class only becomes meaningful when it possesses these special conditions," Yu Wenzhou said.

"We already have them now," Ye Xiu said.

"Given the conditions you possess, I think that at level 70, the complex and variable attack advantages of the unspecialized class can outweigh its lack of high-damage ultimate moves. Note that this is only if you have that weapon and are the one using it! Assuming Glory maintains its current perfect balance at level 70 and increases the level cap, at level 95, even for you, the unspecialized class will no longer be valuable," Yu Wenzhou said.

"Hmm, that's what I thought. What a pity!" Ye Xiu sighed.

"If it were earlier, during the level 50 era, your unspecialized class would be very strong. It would become a bug," Yu Wenzhou said.

"It's not too late now, I guess," Ye Xiu said.

"However… after this season, Glory will have gone three years without raising the level cap," Yu Wenzhou said.

"Hmm… perhaps it's coming soon," Ye Xiu said.

"Level 75? Level 80… It's a weakening for the unspecialized class, which doesn't gain any growth in skills," Yu Wenzhou said.

"But at least it's still within acceptable limits. Do you think I'll still be playing until the day we reach level 95?" Ye Xiu said.

"If you're just playing around in the tenth server, what's wrong with that?" Yu Wenzhou said with a smile.

"Hmm, you're right," Ye Xiu also smiled.

"Want to play another round?" Yu Wenzhou asked.

"No need, I won't let you see my full strength," Ye Xiu said.

"You didn't use your full strength?" Yu Wenzhou asked.

"Of course, I'm an old man. I need to take care of myself," Ye Xiu said.

"Then let's leave it at that!" Yu Wenzhou smiled and left the arena. The two characters met again outside the arena, and after Ye Xiu said goodbye, he had Lord Grim leave.

"How was it?" Yu Wenzhou asked Huang Shaotian behind him.

"A total of 21 fake combos," Huang Shaotian said.

"He knows my weaknesses very well," Yu Wenzhou said. Hand speed – that was Yu Wenzhou's fatal flaw. So, in such a confrontation, because his hand speed couldn't guarantee the speed of his operations, his character was half a beat slower in action, ultimately leading to some attacks that could have been dodged being unavoidable, and he was hit by them, forming fake combos.

"Yeah," Huang Shaotian nodded and replied, "He knows the weaknesses of every opponent in the league. If he were fighting me, he wouldn't use so many fake combos."

"If it weren't for the unspecialized class, he wouldn't be able to create so many fake combos," Yu Wenzhou said, "If it were you in the same situation just now, how many of those 21 fake combos could you have dodged?"

Huang Shaotian suddenly paused.

"You can watch the replay again!" Yu Wenzhou got up and patted Huang Shaotian on the shoulder, "The complex and variable attacks of the unspecialized class ultimately lead to constant fake combos…"

Yu Wenzhou left, and Huang Shaotian sat back at his computer, exited the game, opened the replay player, and imported the replay of the match between Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu.

21 fake combos. How many could he have dodged?

When he was watching the match earlier, Huang Shaotian didn't have time to consider this question. The pace of the fight was extremely fast, and Huang Shaotian basically didn't have time to think about it in detail. Now, watching the replay, Huang Shaotian put himself in the situation and began to re-enact the match.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have done it that way…

First of all, he sensed the gap between Yu Wenzhou and himself. There were some places where Huang Shaotian might have had better ways of handling things. Although he probably wouldn't have been able to win given the unspecialized class's great advantage, at least he could have fought more beautifully than Yu Wenzhou.

But, those 21 fake combos…

As Huang Shaotian counted them one by one, sweat started to form on his forehead.

Out of the 21 fake combos, if he were fighting, they might not necessarily be used in that way, but when he put himself in the situation, Huang Shaotian realized that he was only confident in dodging 4 of them.

4 times!!

This was something Huang Shaotian had never expected.

The difference in hand speed between him and Yu Wenzhou was quite large. Those fake combos sent to Yu Wenzhou, in Huang Shaotian's view, were just taking advantage of Yu Wenzhou's lack of operational speed. But now, after carefully observing them, he realized that those 21 fake combos weren't just aimed at Yu Wenzhou's hand speed weakness.

Huang Shaotian turned back and carefully watched it again.

Damn!

After watching it, Huang Shaotian couldn't help but curse.

3 times!

He should have been able to dodge 3 times, he misjudged it once before. From his current spectator's perspective, that fake combo was easy to dodge. But in actual combat, at that time, Flowing Tree's view was facing away from Lord Grim, and that attack was a blatant sneak attack. That attack predicted Flowing Tree's movement, and even if it didn't hit, there were many follow-up moves that could be used. It was definitely a fake combo attack that even someone with high hand speed wouldn't be able to avoid.

He, who was always known for his judgment, had actually misjudged it, showing how deceptive and concealed that fake combo was. But against an opponent like Yu Wenzhou, whose hand speed was obviously lacking, it shouldn't have been necessary to use such a complex method.

How many more tricks like that is this guy hiding?

Huang Shaotian thought so, a chill rising in his heart. He watched the replay again from the beginning and carefully studied Lord Grim's methods. He wanted to carefully decipher how much killing intent was hidden within.

Then, he discovered a terrifying fact.

Even for a god-level figure like him, he lacked experience with these fake combo attacks from Lord Grim.

Palm Blossom Fist followed by *bá dāo zhǎn*…

This wasn't a fake combo, but when had such a combo ever appeared in a one-on-one match?

Lord Grim's many combos and fake combos were more like coordination than continuous techniques.

This was the kind of coordination used when playing with multiple characters and classes, but now it was completely integrated and executed by him alone. As Huang Shaotian watched this match, he increasingly felt this way.

Flowing Tree's opponent wasn't one person, but two, three… perhaps there would be even more, but it couldn't be seen in this match. Because… the opponent wasn't using his full strength!

What would it be like at full strength? Huang Shaotian suddenly became very curious about this question. He quickly logged into the game. (To be continued. Please log in for more chapters, support the author, and support legitimate reading!)
