Han Wenqing's Striker clasped his hands together, striking towards the battle lance. Lord Grim's battle lance was still thrusting forward, seemingly impossible to withdraw, but unexpectedly, the front half of the lance suddenly "whooshed," as if it had shattered. It abruptly sprang open and spread out, then flipped back, and the front half of the battle lance form, made of umbrella ribs and canopy, suddenly retracted.

The Striker's hands froze in mid-air. This "Empty-Handed Blade Catch" ultimately struck nothing. The changes of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had never appeared in the history of Glory, and even a super veteran like Han Wenqing was caught off guard by this.

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, which had retracted from its battle lance form, was now raised, the tip flipped up to reveal the dark muzzle. A flash of fire was seen, and "boom, boom, boom" echoed as a close-range Anti-Tank Gun was unleashed.

For most people, such a close-range Anti-Tank Gun would have filled them with despair. Jiang You and the others sighed inwardly at that moment.

However, Han Wenqing was someone who had never known the meaning of despair. At this moment, his choice was not to dodge, not to retreat, but to continue forward!

Facing the Anti-Tank shells that would almost instantly stick to him as they left the muzzle, Han Wenqing's Striker had already thrown a punch.

Boom!

The smoke and fire from the explosion quickly spread, enveloping the Striker's entire figure. However, Han Wenqing's Striker did not fall or fly out.

Three Anti-Tank shells, three Anti-Tank shells at such close range, were actually blasted away by his fists.

The shadow of his fists pierced through the flames, continuing to pummel towards Lord Grim.

A target hit by an Anti-Tank Gun at such close range, even if they made an attack judgment by swinging their fist, wouldn't be so unaffected. The Anti-Tank Gun skill was one that could produce knockback, stun, and even knockdown effects due to the impact and explosion of the Anti-Tank shell.

Han Wenqing's Striker was able to remain so stubbornly unmoved only because he had used a state skill of the Striker class.

Striker level 15 skill: Steel Bones.

This skill lasted for 20 seconds. During those 20 seconds, the character's physical defense would be greatly increased, and they would enter a super armor state.

Super armor state! That was the reason the Striker was unaffected by the Anti-Tank Gun's effects.

However, the super armor state was not an invincible state. Under the super armor state, the character was only immune to knockback and stun effects. The damage they received would still be the same, but the physical defense boost from Steel Bones would reduce some of it.

However, even without these reductions, Han Wenqing would not hesitate to use Steel Bones.

What he wanted was not to retreat, not to stop, because he wanted to advance!

Such a tough stance made the spectators like Jiang You quickly become fanatical. They tried hard to restrain themselves from shouting, but at this moment, everyone wished they could jump into the computer and stand beside Han Wenqing, fighting alongside him.

And now, they could only be full of hope, hoping that a strong punch would let Lord Grim know how powerful he was.

As a result, Lord Grim retreated as soon as the Anti-Tank Gun was fired. It was as if he knew such a punch was coming. He had jumped slightly when he used the Anti-Tank Gun, using this skill for a Gun Fu maneuver. The fist that the Striker swung through the damage ultimately missed.

Amidst the audience's regretful sighs, Han Wenqing didn't seem to care. He punched into empty air. His character dashed forward, bursting out of the smoke and fire, as if leaving the explosion behind him.

Lord Grim was already retreating rapidly with Gun Fu. The Striker seemed unable to catch up for a moment, but then he waved his hand and threw a Sand Toss.

Sand Toss was a Thief skill, but Thieves and Strikers both belonged to the Grappler class, and skills before level 20 were commonly learnable. However, because the number of skill points was limited, players couldn't learn all skills without restriction. Which ones to learn, which ones not to learn, which ones to learn to a higher level, or which ones were good enough at level one – these skill point allocation discussions still had many controversies after ten years.

In a situation where it wasn't even possible to learn all the skills of one's own class to the highest level, the question of how to choose these low-level skills below level 20 from other classes was even more a matter of opinion.

At this moment, the Striker had learned Sand Toss. He waved his hand and threw it. Lord Grim, who was flying backward while using Gun Fu, couldn't dodge it well. However, this skill didn't do much damage. The annoying part was the Blinded effect. Although there was a way to avoid being blinded by turning the view away from the eyes being struck, in a battle between experts, turning the view away for that instant would give the opponent an opportunity. Between experts, Sand Toss was sometimes used just for this bit of restraint.

Not looking at the opponent was no different from being blind.

Of course, Ye Xiu didn't want to give Han Wenqing such an opportunity. Immediately, he raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. With a rustling sound, the Sand Toss all hit the umbrella surface. Ye Xiu's view wasn't completely blocked by the umbrella. He clearly saw Han Wenqing's actions. The Striker suddenly rubbed his hands together, actually creating a Spirit Wave Ball and sending it flying towards him.

"Eh..."

Ye Xiu was surprised. Spirit Wave Ball was a Qi Master's skill. If Sand Toss could have a restraining effect because of the "Blinded" effect and was learned by the Striker, Spirit Wave Ball was just an ordinary flying projectile skill without any special attack effects. Although the damage at higher levels was good, it was magic damage. Qi Masters were magic damage classes that relied on Intelligence, while Strikers were physical attack classes that relied on Strength. The damage of the same Spirit Wave Ball was completely different. Strikers couldn't unleash the power of this skill at all, so they never learned it.

And right now, although this Striker wasn't Han Wenqing's personal account, it was used by veterans on Tyrannical Ambition's side, so Ye Xiu was surprised by this kind of skill build.

The Spirit Wave Ball didn't fly too fast, but Han Wenqing controlled it extremely well. As expected of a veteran who had been in the game for many years, he used a skill he usually didn't use with such skill. This Spirit Wave Ball flew in front of Lord Grim just as he landed.

Of course, Ye Xiu wouldn't be hit by a skill for nothing. He dodged, and Han Wenqing's Striker took the opportunity to chase after him, still stubbornly trying to launch an offensive.

As he rushed over, he launched a Forward Kick. Lord Grim sidestepped, but unexpectedly, the Striker immediately followed up with a slap.

"Eh!" Ye Xiu was surprised again, and he quickly performed a backflip. It was a little difficult to dodge that slap.

Slap, this Thief skill, was definitely not learned by other classes because it was just an ordinary damage skill. But at this time, this Striker had learned it again.

Han Wenqing ignored all this. The slap missed, and he slid out a step, a Charging Fist already arriving in front of Lord Grim.

A kick, a slap, and a punch – three skills, connected extremely tightly. Clearly, they were skills that were exactly the same no matter which class used them, but at this time, when used by Han Wenqing, everyone felt that they were indescribably clean and neat, without any unnecessary pauses.

However, Lord Grim's operations were equally impressive. A horizontal shift, a small back jump, and now a somersault. Three movement operations dodged all three attacks.

Jiang You and the others were looking at each other in dismay. Compared to having three people blasted away in one encounter, how strong Lord Grim was becoming increasingly apparent.

Fighting against the great god Han Wenqing, although currently in a passive position, had not resulted in any substantial damage. But then again, how many people weren't passive when fighting against Han Wenqing? This was determined by his style. Han Wenqing was an absolutely aggressive player. He used Steel Bones, enduring damage to avoid interrupting his attack. This was a full expression of his style.

Lord Grim had just gotten up at this time, finally unable to dodge. He was kicked in the chest by Han Wenqing's low-altitude Eagle Stamp, followed by two more "pa pa" kicks. The Eagle Stamp skill initially had only two kicks, but with the skill's level increasing, it could reach a maximum of five kicks. The Striker's current level allowed him to unleash three kicks.

The damage of Eagle Stamp was considerable, but apart from that, there were no special effects. Even during the consecutive kicks, if the operation wasn't fast enough or accurate enough, the opponent could dodge it. Han Wenqing's operations, of course, wouldn't have flaws in the consecutive kicks. The character jumped low, and after three kicks, he would land immediately, minimizing the flaws in the retraction. These skills that should have been high-altitude operations were turned into floor-sweeping skills by great gods like Han Wenqing and Huang Shaotian.

The Eagle Stamp ended, but Han Wenqing continued his offensive. As soon as he finished retracting, he immediately launched a Collapsing Fist. Lord Grim wasn't dazed by these three kicks. Seeing the fist coming, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand immediately split into two Eastern Sticks. His right hand shot out, supporting the Striker's fist.

With a "whoosh," the Striker, whose elbow was being held, was lifted, shouldered, and thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw by Lord Grim.

Grappler level 20 Throwing Skill: Joint Break.
