Hu Die Lan

Chapter 805 A Change of Pace Too

“What are you looking at?” Wei Chen said, craning his neck to look at Ye Xiu’s screen. He was a little suspicious that this guy wasn't actually watching the match, otherwise why was he spacing out? These two players' skill levels were indeed shocking enough if they were thrown into a crowd of regular players, but for the two of them, veteran pros, it shouldn't be surprising enough to make them space out!

As a result, when he came closer, he saw that Ye Xiu was indeed watching this match.

Was he surprised because Tang Rou's situation wasn't very good? Wei Chen had also noticed this point. Wasn't he just talking about it? Of the three opponents, Ye Xiu and Wei Chen could both see that the first one wasn't bad, but his performance in that match was terrible; the second was on par with Tang Rou, but Tang Rou's performance was more stable and outstanding, so she won. As for the current match...

Wei Chen turned his head back to his own screen and watched for a while, then said, "Do you think this Battle Mage has been switched out?"

The players all thought he had been switched out because the difference between the Battle Mage's two matches was too great. On the other hand, people like Ye Xiu and Wei Chen could see that the operator of the Battle Mage in the first match had skill, so Wei Chen was a little unsure at this time.

"He's been switched," Ye Xiu said with certainty. "The first and second matches were the same person, but now he's been switched."

"What's going on?" Wei Chen was a little dazed. No matter how rich their experience was, without being in the situation, they couldn't guess Li Rui's many thoughts and calculations.

"I don't know," Ye Xiu shook his head, but he was still staring at the match in front of him. "But I might know this one!"

"You know him? Who is it?" Wei Chen asked in surprise.

On the other side, Chen Guo was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. Two people in a row who could fight Tang Rou to a standstill were already very impressive in Chen Guo's eyes. If possible, she would recruit talented people, which was one of the possible side effects of Chen Guo creating such a scene. Now that she had really encountered someone powerful, and Ye Xiu knew him, it was really smooth!

"Who is it, where are they from, how old are they, how do you know them?" Chen Guo immediately asked a series of questions.

Ye Xiu shook his head and didn't answer immediately, still watching the match intently. Chen Guo was stunned. Looking at Ye Xiu's expression, this powerful guy he knew probably wasn't as easy to recruit as she had hoped.

On the field, the fierce battle between the two was already nearing its end.

The same opportunity, the same skill, but in the end, Qiu Fei's Wrathful Dragon Pierces the Heart accurately hit Soft Mist. The hand speed that Tang Rou burst out at that moment did exceed Qiu Fei's, and Soft Mist made her move faster. However, while making a move quickly was an advantage, it couldn't determine everything at this time. The Wrathful Dragon Pierces the Heart that Qiu Fei controlled, although it was a little slower to cast, the angle of the stab was more tricky and more accurate. At this moment, Qiu Fei's more skilled technique was on full display than Tang Rou's. Although the move was slower, the route it took was more efficient, and in the end, it arrived first despite being launched later.

And this strike immediately laid the foundation for the final advantage. Qiu Fei didn't make a mistake. Although Tang Rou was still working hard, she couldn't find a chance to turn the tables, and Soft Mist finally fell.

Victory!

The dazzling two words flashed on the screen. The spectators were stunned for a few seconds before suddenly erupting. In an instant, a large number of messages jumped onto the channel, repeatedly spamming the screen. At this moment, the people of Xing Xin deeply felt that they were really the villains.

Only a minority cheered and applauded for Qiu Fei's performance. The vast majority of the comments were ridicule and mockery directed at Xing Xin. The face-slapping party had been waiting for this day for too long. They had almost despaired, feeling that Xing Xin and his gang might really need professional-level players to deal with them. Many people were burning incense and cursing, hoping that Xing Xin would meet Jia Shi in the first round when they participated in the Challenger League, and slap these guys' faces.

Who knew that they wouldn't have to wait until then? Now someone had actually stood up and defeated the people of Xing Xin.

The players had completely forgotten that in a competitive game like Glory, winning and losing were supposed to be normal. No matter how strong a team or player was, they didn't have a 100% win rate. At this time, defeating Soft Mist once made the spectators feel as if Xing Xin could never turn over again, as if Xing Xin's strength had collapsed after losing this game.

Tang Rou looked up at everyone after losing the match, her eyes filled with regret. But now she was no longer the rookie who immediately wanted to win back after losing a game to Ye Xiu. Glory wasn't that lacking in skill. Victory and defeat both had to have an explanation. And now, Tang Rou could also evaluate the strength of her opponent, especially the Battle Mage, a class she was already very familiar with, so she could see the other party's methods even more clearly. Strength and weakness couldn't always be explained by a few matches. During the All-Star Weekend event, Tang Rou beat up Du Ming of Team Reincarnation, and although she did win a few games, did that mean she was better than Du Ming?

Tang Rou now understood this principle very well. So after losing a match, she didn't immediately become unrelenting like before. Although she was still very unwilling in her heart, she had to admit, "Today's opponent was very strong."

"Yes," Ye Xiu nodded and stood up. "Let me try."

"You're going?" Everyone was surprised. Ye Xiu hadn't made a single appearance since this event started! Those who were mocking the Jia Shi players were especially using this as an excuse: After all this time, you haven't even forced out their strongest Boss, and you're still slapping people's faces!

But now, Ye Xiu was taking the initiative to take action.

"Use my account?" Tang Rou saw Ye Xiu walking towards her and guessed his intention.

"Yes, they haven't changed people, have they?" Ye Xiu asked.

"It doesn't seem like it," Tang Rou glanced at the field. That Battle Mage was still standing there, not saying anything, seemingly waiting for them to change people.

"Start directly," Ye Xiu said, already arriving in front of her. Tang Rou clicked ready, then stood up and gave her seat to Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu sat down and quickly typed a sentence: "One more round."

The other side didn't answer, but they were also ready. When the spectators saw that the two were going to fight again, various taunts immediately hit Soft Mist's head. They really didn't leave themselves any way out. They didn't even think about what they would do if Soft Mist won the next round.

At this time, the most depressed person was Li Rui.

He had a very important opportunity, but it was snatched away by Qiu Fei. Was the fate of people really so different? This guy was favored by Ye Qiu and regarded as the successor to One Autumn Leaf. As a result, the team changed, Ye Qiu left, and he was in an awkward situation. But why was luck favoring him again? Why was he the one who got this good opportunity again?

Li Rui didn't even think that the opportunity he saw had already been given to him, but he didn't seize it himself. At this time, he was only jealous of Qiu Fei's victory.

But no matter how much he resented it, all of this was already reality. The most eye-catching, most attention-grabbing opportunity had been seized by Qiu Fei. He could only perform better in the next duel, try to seize attention as much as possible, but before that, should he change accounts again? The match with Silent Night was already good, but if he didn't change characters, it would be difficult for him to create the impression that "he's changed people." It would be safer to change accounts again, right?

Li Rui was still thinking when, on the competition field, Soft Mist was already preparing again, saying, "One more round."

Chen Yehui quickly said, "Don't pay attention to them, wait for them to change people!"

Chen Yehui knew very well! Qiu Fei's level in this match might be a little higher, but it was limited. It was impossible for him to hit every shot like he did when fighting ordinary players. So if they played another match, no one could say for sure whether Qiu Fei could still win.

They were here to slap faces. If one person was entangled for too many matches, and then won one, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now they had only lost two matches, and then cleanly took down Soft Mist. Judging from the reaction of the spectators, everyone recognized this victory. This wasn't a completely suppressed victory that could be ignored, like winning one game after playing a hundred.

Speaking of this, Chen Yehui was really grateful for Li Rui's foreshadowing. It was a good thing that he lost so badly with Battle Mage in the first game, so that when Qiu Fei came on, people would think that "he's changed people." If the first game had been evenly matched, then Qiu Fei winning another game at this time wouldn't have been as exciting. If two opponents were evenly matched and fought each other, who would think they were slapping faces?

Now that the face-slapping had been a great success, but if Qiu Fei faced Soft Mist again and lost, the effect of the face-slapping would be discounted. So when Chen Yehui saw that the other side was prepared, he thought that these people must be thinking about this, and he wouldn't let the other side succeed. He quickly told Qiu Fei to ignore them. But Qiu Fei had already pressed ready, and the owner of the room was Xing Xin, so wouldn't they start quickly?

"Sigh!" Chen Yehui slapped his thigh in a hurry. What a great opportunity, why was Qiu Fei so brainless?

Chen Yehui was a little annoyed, but at this time, he still had to rely on Qiu Fei to not lose. He quickly put aside his envy, jealousy, and hatred for Qiu Fei and encouraged him, "Xiao Qiu, go for it!"

"Mm," Qiu Fei responded, and the match began. On the opposite side of the field, the figure of the Battle Mage Soft Mist gradually became clear.

He's going to attack again, right? Qiu Fei didn't have as many thoughts as Li Rui, and he was purely speculating on Soft Mist's play style from a match perspective. In the previous three matches, Soft Mist had taken the initiative to attack aggressively from the start. Qiu Fei was on guard from the very beginning.

Who would have thought that this time, Soft Mist didn't move, but started talking, "Is that Qiu Fei?"

This... Qiu Fei was stunned when he heard this voice.

Is it really Ye Qiu? Is he really in Xing Xin? Is he really forming a team to face off against Jia Shi in the Challenger League?
