Hu Die Lan
Chapter 331 No Counterattack
Falling Flower Palm!
Circle Dance Stick!
Accompanying these skills were the dancing magic emblems of various attributes. The indistinct colors flew out, twining around the battle lance, a colorful and rather beautiful sight.
And Du Ming? He was quite helpless against these attacks.
The beauty of the Shadow Dance Step lay in this: launching an attack from the blind spot in the opponent's view while they were airborne. Even if Du Ming knew he would be attacked, he couldn't make the right judgment because he couldn't see. Several low-level skills hit him in succession, and after being slammed to the ground by a Circle Dance Stick, several emblems exploded on his swordsman, instantly reducing his health.
Just who is this person!
A trace of panic flashed through Du Ming's mind.
Shadow Dance Step, this was definitely not an ordinary operational technique. It required a solid foundation of experience. Without in-depth research and understanding of Glory, it was impossible to reach perfection. Du Ming wasn't ready to draw a hasty conclusion about the challenger's level of Shadow Dance Step, but at least, he had already fallen for his Shadow Dance Step twice.
If this wasn't accidental, but this person was really displaying it with perfect control, then this person's level of Shadow Dance Step was a bit frightening.
His opponent just now was a newbie who didn't even use high-level skills.
And now, it was an experienced expert who could even use the Shadow Dance Step on him.
He absolutely couldn't be careless.
Du Ming became more and more serious. Although this was still just an exhibition match at the All-Stars Weekend, because of the previous build-up, Du Ming absolutely couldn't afford to lose.
He quickly executed an operation, and the swordsman who had been knocked to the ground quickly stood up with a backflip. Then, instead of immediately rushing forward to attack, he retreated, with two consecutive back jumps.
This retreat looked like an escape, an evasion. Du Ming knew that this was a bit embarrassing, and he seemed to have heard some scattered boos.
But escaping was better than losing.
Du Ming deeply felt that this challenger in front of him was not simple, definitely not an ordinary player as everyone imagined. Before figuring out the opponent's depth, rushing to attack was undoubtedly a very reckless move.
He was known as "Mad Swordsman", but this "Mad" referred to his unrestrainedness, certainly not to say he was "arrogant". Du Ming knew very well that he was only a middle-to-upper-level character in the professional player circle. In the Glory circle with such a wide audience, maybe there really were players who could reach the professional level.
When fighting Tang Rou, Du Ming fully used his professional-level skills, but when facing Ye Xiu, he felt even greater pressure. Relying on skills alone, he even lost confidence. At this time, he even began to use some tactics.
Temporarily retreating, avoiding the opponent's sharp edge, and re-guiding the situation was the best tactical choice at this time.
After Du Ming made this move, he received some disdain from the audience. Many players had limited skill. Shadow Dance Step, such an advanced technique, not to mention them, even professional players sometimes couldn't detect whether a movement contained a Shadow Dance Step unless they were in the middle of the game.
The professional players at this time could make a judgment only because they were watching the live broadcast, and they came to this conclusion from the multi-angle views of the electronic display screen. If they were just watching the holographic projection, it would be hard to say whether they could detect it.
When they discovered some boos in the audience, the faces of the professional players became even more solemn. Like Du Ming, they also noticed the extraordinary nature of this challenger.
Some people even began to look around in their seats, suspecting that some of them had quietly run down to have some fun. As a result, after scanning around, all the professional players were properly in their teams, and no one was missing except Du Ming.
What would happen next?
Amid everyone's expectations, Du Ming chose to retreat first, but his opponent, this challenger number two's Battle Mage, immediately and decisively rushed up.
The battle lance shook, and it was another Dragon Tooth.
This guy, who was clearly not a newbie, seemed to be using these low-level skills just like the newbie beauty just now. However, some Battle Mage professional players had also noticed to some extent that this Battle Mage's skill points were a bit irregular. Perhaps it was because the newbie beauty didn't know high-level skills, so she maxed out these low-level skills that she was familiar with. As for the high-level skills that she hadn't seen used, they didn't know what she had added.
This skill point allocation was not just about pursuing skill damage.
The level of the skill also improved more than just damage.
Take the most basic skill, Sky Strike, for example. The higher the level, the better the floating effect. Almost no one adds points to this skill to increase the damage; they all pursue a higher floating effect.
And at the level of professional players, it becomes even more subtle. Depending on the individual's style of play and operational level, the requirements for floating will also vary. Some people may feel that the floating effect of a seventh-level Sky Strike is enough, but some people may feel that ninth or tenth level is not enough.
In short, the higher the level, the more details you see.
And the Battle Mage in front of him, whether it was these attacking skills or the magic emblems on the low-level skills, he didn't choose to omit any of them; he maxed them all out.
Although professional players don't just consider skill points from the perspective of damage, the higher the level, the greater the damage will be. These low-level skills that were all at max level couldn't be taken too lightly in the hands of this Battle Mage. For example, Du Ming, didn't dare to recklessly use his Swordsman's low-level skills to compete with him on judgment. The skills on his account weren't randomly added; they were added according to his usual habits. The skills were based on his own habits, with choices and combinations.
Not daring to confront him head-on, Du Ming could only evade.
And so, a rather historic scene appeared in this battle: "Mad Swordsman" Du Ming, in the match, didn't take the initiative to attack, or even counterattack, but was constantly dodging, waiting for an opportunity to strike later.
Such a scene lasted for several minutes. Du Ming had never been able to seize the opportunity to counterattack, and had always been restrained and suppressed by the opponent's attacks.
The audience at this time, at this moment, if they still couldn't see that this challenger was extraordinary, then unless they completely didn't understand Glory.
Even if this was an exhibition match, even if Du Ming was deliberately letting him win, it shouldn't be so exaggerated. He had been hiding like a mouse seeing a cat from beginning to end, which was too embarrassing!
"Why isn't Du Ming counterattacking yet?" Some players in the Samsara team who had a good relationship with Du Ming couldn't stand it anymore and felt very anxious for him.
"It's better to be cautious," one person said.
"He can't counterattack." As a result, Zhou Zekai suddenly said coldly from the very edge of their seats.
"What?" Everyone looked towards Zhou Zekai.
Zhou Zekai slightly raised his head, carefully looking at the multi-angle screen in the electronic screen, and said after a while, "No chance."
"No chance?" Several players who didn't see this clue were stunned.
"Could it be that now it's not that Du Ming doesn't want to counterattack, but that he can't counterattack?" one person said in surprise, and then immediately turned his attention to the match, starting to sweat for Du Ming in his heart. No chance... This meant that Du Ming was really being completely suppressed this time. And this situation could last so long, which meant that if the opponent didn't make a mistake, Du Ming would continue to find no chance to counterattack.
He was just sweating for him. What about Du Ming at this time? His palms, forehead, and even his back were soaked with cold sweat.
At first, he was dodging, observing, hoping to find the opponent's routine, to find the opponent's flaws.
However, after a few minutes, he found that he had to dodge, he could only continue to observe. At this moment, when each attack came from the opponent, other than dodging, he couldn't even think of a second way to respond in his mind.
Originally, it was a situation he had created intentionally, but now, he wanted to escape this situation, but couldn't find a way.
The opponent's attacks were continuous, a series of low-level skills, mixed with ordinary attacks, constantly greeted him, and from time to time, magic emblems would fly over.
Du Ming tried hard to find a way to break this situation, but there was none, absolutely none.
Or perhaps his ability wasn't enough. In short, in his opinion, continuing to dodge like this was the best way.
But he couldn't dodge perfectly, and he was always hit by some attacks. The blood flowers that were hit scattered along the way he dodged, looking a bit shocking.
He absolutely couldn't continue like this, he had to be ruthless and try!
Du Ming made a decisive decision, he decided to try some methods that he originally wasn't very confident in, and didn't look forward to.
Once the idea was decided, Du Ming immediately made a move, a Consecutive Thrust, the sword's edge bringing out two cold lights.
"I'm sweating, this idiot, this won't work!" On the professional player's seat, Huang Shaotian sighed when he saw Du Ming launching a Consecutive Thrust at this time.
Then he saw the Battle Mage on the opposite side use a Dragon Tooth, which was also a level 5 skill like Consecutive Thrust.
"Don't say that the other party's skill level is higher than him! Even if it's the same level, the judgment of Consecutive Thrust is not as strong as Dragon Tooth! Isn't using Consecutive Thrust at this time courting death?" Huang Shaotian babbled, and the result was as he said on the field. The two cold lights stabbed out by Du Ming's swordsman disappeared in an instant, and the Battle Mage's battle lance had pierced his chest.
The lance retreated, bringing out a string of blood flowers.
The brief stiffness effect was not missed, and a series of attacks flew over again. Du Ming's swordsman flew into the sky, and was bombarded out again without being able to find the direction of the opponent's attack. But this time, the opponent changed his routine again, and the final blow was concluded with a Falling Flower Palm.
Du Ming's swordsman was blasted away, and he quickly adjusted his posture in the air, but his body suddenly shook, and he crashed into a wall behind him, and then bounced forward again.
Du Ming was shocked, he saw the Battle Mage standing directly in front of him, stepping sideways, holding the lance with both hands. The cold light on the tip of the lance seemed to be becoming brighter.
Not good! Du Ming cried out in his heart.
Battle Mage's level 65 skill: Hao Long Po Jun!
