“What a pity!” Seeing Tang Rou's unattribute Sparkling纹 miss, quite a few people on the pro player bench sighed.

“If she hadn't used Dragon Tooth just now, but instead Rising Dragon Soars to the Sky, Du Ming would probably be in trouble right now.”

“That’s right, this beauty's control is fast! If she used Rising Dragon Soars to the Sky, it would definitely hit.”

“Is she really a newbie? She doesn’t use any skills above level 40, I’m impressed…”

At the All-Star Weekend, which was originally like a vacation, the pro players were having a rare serious discussion. Although the discussion was based on teams, the words spoken were surprisingly consistent. Everyone could see that Tang Rou missed an opportunity to inflict serious damage on Du Ming because she didn't use high-level skills.

As the pro players discussed, the emotions of the audience were gradually stirred up.

They originally thought that from that Draw Sword to Rising Dragon, followed by Falling Phoenix Slash, Tang Rou's Battle Mage would immediately be crippled by Du Ming's combo. No one expected that Tang Rou could complete a Ukemi (受身) after being hit by Falling Phoenix Slash.

You have to know that Falling Phoenix Slash sends the character falling like a shooting star, extremely quickly. Being able to Ukemi successfully in this situation is unimaginable for ordinary players.

After a successful Ukemi, she immediately began to counterattack. For several rounds in a row, the pro player Du Ming was actually on the defensive, and the audience's emotions were immediately ignited.

Moreover, it wasn't just pro players who could see that Tang Rou had missed a good opportunity. After all, the situation just now wasn't that complicated, and players with a little experience and insight could make that judgment.

Even if they didn't see it themselves, they soon understood, because the commentator... the commentator also clearly pointed out that Tang Rou had missed such an opportunity.

"Oh, why didn't she use Rising Dragon Soars to the Sky!" Chen Guo was also a veteran player, and she had noticed the situation just now, and said with great regret.

"Rising Dragon Soars to the Sky... she probably doesn't even know how to use it, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"Oh... I forgot." Chen Guo realized.

"Do you think Little Tang has a chance to win?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu.

"You... don't underestimate pro players too much!" Ye Xiu said.

As soon as he said this, the situation on the field had already reversed again.

After Tang Rou's successive attacks failed to do anything to Du Ming, Du Ming quickly caught an opportunity and regained the initiative. After a series of small skills and normal attacks, Tang Rou, lacking experience, was led into a trap. Amidst the sighs of the pro players, Du Ming unleashed Phantom Sword Dance, a level 70 Sword Master ultimate.

In the midst of the continuous sounds of swords hitting, Tang Rou's Battle Mage was surrounded by flying blood. The game screen on the electronic display quickly showed the combo count of this attack.

Phantom Sword Dance requires the player to manually execute the entire combo. The higher the combo count, the greater the damage. The current highest record is 13 hits. Many Sword Master players in the pro scene have reached this count, but no one has broken through to the 14th hit yet.

To achieve this seemingly impossible combo count, the distance and angle of each strike must be calculated. And from the first sword to the thirteenth sword, it only takes a few seconds.

Du Ming's Phantom Sword Dance ended with a 10-hit combo, because Tang Rou reacted extremely quickly, and managed to evade at the last moment, resulting in Du Ming's distance and angle not being optimal when releasing the final attack. Completing a 10-hit combo was already good.

The final strike of Phantom Sword Dance is an extremely powerful knockback attack. This attack is crucial. If this attack misses, then the 1 second of ending lag is enough for the opponent to recover all the damage they took before.

Du Ming, as a pro player, would never make a mistake on this most crucial strike. After the final sword was swung, Tang Rou's Battle Mage immediately went flying.

Tang Rou, of course, successfully completed the Ukemi. At this time, the opponent's health was almost untouched, while her Battle Mage had already lost one-fifth of her health.

Tang Rou today is not the same as she was before. She is aware of the gap between them. Especially the big move she just took, she was completely being played by the opponent. The opponent seemed to know exactly what she would do, and led her into that situation with one attack after another, leaving her with no choice but to take such a heavy blow.

To surpass your opponent, you must at least know where the gap lies.

Tang Rou always remembered what Ye Xiu said, but now, she found that the gap between her and these pro players made her feel truly helpless.

Experience! This is the biggest difference between the two sides.

Tang Rou's almost newbie-level combat experience was simply not enough in front of these pro players. They could easily judge her intentions, disrupt her plans, and then? They could easily trick her.

"She's really a newbie..."

Just as Tang Rou was examining the gap, the pro players' discussion started again.

Tang Rou is a newbie, and this was finally completely exposed when she encountered a pro like Du Ming. If there was still some doubt before, at this moment everyone was completely convinced.

However, this conviction also made Tang Rou seem even more valuable.

Next, how will this newbie respond? Everyone was filled with anticipation.

Tang Rou moved!

Although she already knew the gap clearly, she still rushed up without hesitation when Du Ming charged up.

Dragon Tooth!

This time, Tang Rou attacked before Du Ming, and the Battle Mage thrust out a Dragon Tooth.

Sky Strike!

Double Stab!

Circle Swing!

Falling Flower Palm!

Still just these pitiful low-level skills, interspersed with some normal attacks, used in a continuous series.

Du Ming calmly dodged, preparing to seize an opportunity to counterattack.

An opening appeared!

Tang Rou's attack was completely off by two positions, stabbing at the air. Du Ming seized this opportunity and drew his sword!

"Pu!"

A sound of being hit.

Du Ming was surprised to find that it wasn't his opponent who was hit, but himself. The spear that had missed, had turned around at some point, and stabbed him.

This was just a normal attack, and the damage wasn't that high, but it was completely unexpected by Du Ming.

Tang Rou's attacks continued, and Du Ming gradually felt the pressure. He clearly felt that her attacks were getting faster and faster.

"She's increasing her APM!" The pro players naturally noticed and discussed among themselves again. They were surprised to discover that the APM Tang Rou had shown all along wasn't her limit, and now, her attack rhythm was getting faster and faster.

"She was actually hiding her strength!" Someone exclaimed.

"No... this isn't hiding her strength..." Someone said with a solemn expression.

"Her attacks are fast now... but there's no rhyme or reason to them." Many experts who were watching closely had already noticed something.

The players who hadn't noticed this yet immediately saw it when they looked again. At this time, Tang Rou's attacks seemed to have no plan at all. She just used whatever she had, and when she didn't have anything, she just used normal attacks.

This was a completely newbie way of playing, without awareness, without judgment. She just attacked wherever the opponent was.

This kind of completely unorganized style of play shouldn't have been effective, but at this time, it was completely suppressing Du Ming.

Because of APM!

In terms of APM alone, Tang Rou had reached a pro level, but she was relatively poor at precision. In order to ensure precision, she had to slow down her APM. But at this time, she no longer cared about this. She was just doing her best to use all the attacks she could use in the fastest way possible.

"How much APM does she have?"

"It's hard to say... there are so many invalid operations..."

The pro players were speechless. When they talked about APM, they were generally referring to situations with effective operations. But now, Tang Rou didn't care about that at all. Fast, fast, fast, she only wanted to be fast! With her APM completely unleashed, she attacked the air countless times, and her positioning went too far countless times. Then, she would make up for these mistakes, wasting countless operations back and forth. But this kind of play style prevented Du Ming from finding an opening for a while.

The opportunities he saw were always gone in the blink of an eye.

"So amazing!" Chen Guo was stunned.

"So smart!" Ye Xiu was smiling.

"How so?"

"She finally knows where the gap is, so she came up with a way to avoid it," Ye Xiu said.

"How so?"

"She was fighting in a structured way, but because of her lack of experience, she couldn't seize the initiative at all. So she simply stopped thinking so much. She's just using all the attacks she can, and hitting the opponent as fast as she can. Because she has extraordinary APM, this newbie-like random attack looks quite powerful," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"So Little Tang can win?" Chen Guo was pleasantly surprised.

"I'm afraid she still can't," Ye Xiu sighed.

"Why?"

"Because she'll get tired... how long can she keep up this kind of operation?" Ye Xiu said.

Ye Xiu wasn't the only one who saw this. All the pro players were paying close attention to this match, analyzing and discussing the situation. After Tang Rou unleashed her full APM, they saw the limit of her strength. But no one knew better than the pro players how difficult it was to maintain this kind of APM.

This kind of uncontrolled burst of APM ultimately requires overcoming one's own fatigue.

Du Ming was also a pro player and understood this. As a self-proclaimed "Berserker," he was very depressed that he was being suppressed in such a messy way. But he had no way to deal with it. He couldn't predict the opponent's intentions, because it was just a random attack. He couldn't compete with the opponent in attack, because he had to admit that in terms of APM alone, he was actually inferior to this amateur audience member.

"This newbie is indeed skilled, but how long can you last with this kind of attack?" Du Ming thought to himself as he looked at his character's health.
