Chapter 159 Second Battle

The hands of the clock gradually pointed towards nine in the evening. Ye Xiu, with a cigarette in his mouth, was already on the road to Bulls Town with Lord Grim.

Nine o'clock on Sunday night was the time agreed upon for the second decisive battle with Tyrannical Ambition.

"Are the materials all prepared?" Ye Xiu sent this message to Ye Du Han Tan.

Ye Du Han Tan almost replied with a "Prepared" without thinking, but in the instant he realized it, he quickly slapped his right hand, which was about to hit the Enter key, away.

Why am I being so obedient! Ye Du Han Tan despised himself.

"Hurry up," Ye Du Han Tan finally replied with a gruff message.

At nine o'clock sharp, Lord Grim arrived at the entrance of the Bulls Town arena on time. He entered, created a room, and sent the room number to Ye Du Han Tan.

In just a moment, the five opponents were all present. The same five characters as in the previous match, but Ye Xiu knew that the players behind the characters were very different. Look, the Striker character was standing in the captain's position, the Cleric Ye Wei Yang was in second place, the Elementalist Loves to Join in the Fun was in third, and then the Swordsman and Sharpshooter.

Ye Xiu smiled.

The Striker was undoubtedly Han Wenqing. The Cleric Ye Wei Yang was of course Zhang Xinjie. As for the Elementalist Loves to Join in the Fun, it should be Bai Yanfei, the Swordsman Yu Tian, and the Sharpshooter Wang Chixuan. How could Ye Xiu not know these pro players from Tyranny?

However, Ye Xiu wasn't a god after all, and there were still things he didn't know.

Of the five characters present, only three were actually being controlled by Tyranny pro players.

Han Wenqing's Striker, Zhang Xinjie's Cleric Ye Wei Yang, and Bai Yanfei's Elementalist Loves to Join in the Fun. Ye Xiu guessed these three correctly. But the Swordsman and Sharpshooter weren't Tyranny pro players. The account cards for these two characters weren't even with Tyranny; what use would their players have for them?

It wouldn't be impossible to find the account cards if they really wanted to, but Han Wenqing felt that three was enough.

"Another team? Haven't you lost enough face already?" When Han Wenqing said this coldly, no one dared to say anything else.

At this time, the three had arrived at the online game guild's studio. Everyone in the room was afraid to even breathe. Jiang You, Ye Wei Yang, and the Striker player had their account cards requisitioned, and their computers were taken over. All the other computers were in use as well, so the three of them had to squeeze onto small stools with others to watch the match.

Watching the match from behind a god? That wasn't a good idea. To understand what was going on from the god's first-person perspective, you had to keep up with the god's thinking and actions. Clearly, none of these people had that confidence, so they just squeezed in with others, rushing into this room to watch the match.

"This... what is this?" Jiang You and the others, who were squeezing in front of this computer, had just squeezed into the room to watch the match when they saw Lord Grim's lineup and were immediately shocked.

Swordsman Flowing Tree? No.

Launcher Su Mucheng? No.

Battle Mage Soft Mist? No.

Brawler Steamed Bun Invasion? No.

Ghostblade One Inch Ash? Still no.

No, no, there was none. The four members of Lord Grim's team didn't match the classes, and the names weren't familiar at all. Jiang You turned back in surprise, just in time to see Han Wenqing looking at Zhang Xinjie: "What about the people you mentioned?"

"The arranged battle didn't require any specific people..." Zhang Xinjie said.

"Can we start?" Lord Grim had already sent a message asking.

"What kind of people did this guy... find again?" Jiang You, who had originally thought everything was foolproof, couldn't help but feel apprehensive again. He had complete faith in the team, but the problem was that only half the team had come. The Sharpshooter and Swordsman—wouldn't these two be weak links?

The Sharpshooter and Swordsman were definitely more nervous than Jiang You at this time. They were already a bit flustered after learning that they would be fighting alongside a god. Now, seeing that Lord Grim had brought another bizarre group of people, they became even more uneasy, thinking the same thing as Jiang You: they were afraid of dragging everyone down.

"Start." In the game, Han Wenqing had already decisively replied to Lord Grim's message.

Jiang You and the others didn't have time to think about it. The scene in front of them changed, and the match had begun.

The map was still random, and the map that was ultimately loaded was the Circular Arena.

A super simple and straightforward map. Like the 1v1 arena map, this map was simply larger and a flat circle. There were no terrain features that could be utilized on this map. If it were a pro team, they would never choose this map as their home map.

"Not bad map," Han Wenqing said. On such a map, everything was in plain sight, with basically no room for maneuvering. Victory or defeat would be decided directly through coordination and skill. It was that simple.

"You guys deal with those four. I'll go and learn from this Lord Grim," Han Wenqing said simply.

Although Zhang Xinjie was a tactical master, it didn't mean he was the commander. In any team, the captain definitely had the most say on the field. However, Zhang Xinjie's talent hadn't been buried because of this. Otherwise, his reputation as a tactical master wouldn't have been so well-known in the Alliance. Whether it was the tactical design before the battle or the detailed adjustments during the battle, Zhang Xinjie always had a lot to say.

Two commanders were a big taboo in team battles. But this existed harmoniously in Tyranny. It had to be said that Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie were a very tacit pair. They would switch commanders according to the situation, complementing each other. The team members had to carry out both of their orders. What if there were conflicting orders? Unfortunately, that had never happened so far.

After Han Wenqing finished speaking, his Striker charged out.

"Vanguard formation! Follow up," Zhang Xinjie called out. The four of them started.

The vanguard formation was a formation where one person was the arrowhead, with the remaining two people standing to the left and right, and the five people formed a cone. It was an effective way to disrupt the opponent's line. However, it required a higher level of ability from the person acting as the arrowhead. During the charge, the arrowhead might be surrounded by the opponent in a short period of time, requiring them to be able to hold the line in such a difficult situation.

The Tyranny team liked this forward-moving formation, and Han Wenqing was always their arrowhead. Right from the start, they used their usual tactic. The Sharpshooter and Swordsman stood at the rear, their hearts pounding.

They often imitated the team's vanguard formation in battle, but they never thought that one day they would be charging under the cover of Han Wenqing's arrowhead!

The five of them maintained their formation and moved forward, while observing their opponents.

Zhang Xinjie's heart skipped a beat.

The five opponents were coming over in a chaotic mess. With Zhang Xinjie's tactical skills, he couldn't tell what kind of formation this was.

Zhang Xinjie wasn't intimidated by the strangeness. He immediately thought of the zerozero kill from the previous match who was just there to make up numbers.

"No way?" Zhang Xinjie said in surprise. Could it be that Lord Grim had simply found four people to make up numbers for this match? Was he too confident? Or had he already guessed what kind of lineup they would send, so he simply gave up on this match? But if that was the case, why did he agree? Could it be...

Zhang Xinjie didn't have time to think further. The two sides had already collided in the center of the map. With this straightforward map, the two sides didn't need to spend any time on tactical arrangements and rushing. The battle had already begun just ten seconds in.

Han Wenqing didn't bother with whether the opponent's lineup was strong or weak, whether they were carefully responding or just making up numbers. He would always go all out.

His right leg flew out, rising straight up, the Striker's aerial skill, Gao Fei Jiao (High Flying Kick), immediately kicking the person in front of him into the air. His right hand shot out quickly, the sound of the wind whistling. The Striker's skill, Beng Quan (Crushing Fist), immediately sent the person rushing up on the right flying, also knocking over the one behind him who was trying to attack.

Just face to face, in one second, three opponents had fallen.

Like Jiang You and the others, they didn't know if it was Han Wenqing who was too strong, or the opponents who were too weak. They were a bit confused.

But Han Wenqing had said that he was going to learn from Lord Grim, so he didn't bother with the three who had fallen. His character took another step forward, finally meeting Lord Grim, who was rushing over a step later.

Han Wenqing attacked!

The Striker swung a punch, and Lord Grim jumped back to dodge. The Striker instantly changed his fist into a kick. The kick seemed to be borrowing the speed of the punch, making it more tricky and swift. It flew towards Lord Grim, who was jumping back in the air.

A puff of smoke, Lord Grim, who was hit by the forward kick, disappeared, but it was just a Shadow Clone.

Jiang You, who was watching the match, almost shouted. They watched as Lord Grim completed a Shadow Clone Technique at that critical moment, his real body flashing behind Han Wenqing's Striker.

Han Wenqing's reaction lived up to his reputation as a god. The moment the Shadow Clone turned into smoke, his character had already passed through the smoke. Turning back, he saw the battle lance in Lord Grim's hand stabbing at him like a poisonous snake.

In this situation, everyone would be glad to have dodged this attack. But Han Wenqing definitely wouldn't. He didn't dodge. After turning around, he immediately stepped forward. He actually wanted to continue attacking.

The character's hands cut out, a cross-shaped movement, clamping down on the battle lance.

Striker level 30 Block and Break skill: Kongshou Rubairu (Empty-Handed Blade-Catch).

Block and Break skills are another special type of judging attack. Literally, this skill is divided into two parts: a block and a break.

Block is to parry the opponent's attack; break is to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Just from the meaning, it seems that no skill is needed. Players can do this themselves in battle.

However, when Block and Break skills appear in skill form, the block and break are integrated. As long as the opponent's attack can be successfully blocked, then the subsequent break will definitely hit. This is a system-enforced assistance.

In other words, as long as a Block and Break skill is successfully executed, it will be a 100% interrupt attack.

However, it is not easy to use a Block and Break skill successfully.

First of all, its prerequisite is to block. Without a block, there will be no subsequent break. Therefore, Block and Break skills can only be used to take advantage of the opponent's attack. If the opponent is standing still, and you go up and use Empty-Handed Blade-Catch, it is just an empty show, waiting for the opponent to beat you black and blue!

At this time, Han Wenqing, instead of retreating, advanced, using the Block and Break skill, preparing to give Lord Grim the most powerful counterattack.
