Television broadcasts, professional players at the scene, and some more skilled spectators all focused their attention on Fang Rui's entanglement with Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua. Only those whose skill wasn't quite up to par, who were watching more for the excitement than the strategy, continued to keep their eyes glued to the battle in the scrap heap.

Certainly, the battle on that side was also wonderful and exciting, and it was possible that a decisive scene would play out. But from a broader perspective, Fang Rui's entanglement with the two from Samsara was a more realistic turning point. The outcome of this match was more likely to depend on the extent of Fang Rui's performance.

And now, his performance had exceeded everyone's expectations. He had been entangled in a two-on-one fight for so long. The two from Samsara were actually unable to get past him.

Of course, if Lu Boyuan's Yunshan Luan wanted to leave, Fang Rui wouldn't even bother with him. Fang Rui's purpose was too pure: to hold back Fang Minghua's Xiao Ge Zi Ruo. If Lu Boyuan caused him trouble, he would deal with it. If Lu Boyuan took the initiative to leave, he would welcome it.

Lu Boyuan had already abandoned Du Ming once. Whether psychologically or tactically, there was no way he could abandon Fang Minghua again—Samsara was already behind by one head in the team competition, and behind by three heads in the entire match.

That guy…

Lu Boyuan gritted his teeth, wanting to catch Hai Wu Liang. Just one successful grab would solve the current situation. Fang Minghua understood this principle very well and wanted to cooperate in every possible way.

But Fang Rui was too cunning. His wretchedness had been brought to the extreme. Hai Wu Liang slipped and slid, often brushing past Yunshan Luan's fingertips. The difference between them was only the distance of a fist.

This was no longer just a matter of luck.

Fang Rui brought his operation to the extreme. In these few extremely dangerous dodges, it wasn't that he couldn't make safer and larger-scale dodges, but that he deliberately controlled them to such a small extent. He had been operating like this since he first dodged Yunshan Luan's obstruction. He had always been using the most efficient way to resolve the obstacles created by Lu Boyuan's Yunshan Luan, in order to buy more time to deal with Fang Minghua's Xiao Ge Zi Ruo. If not, it would have been impossible for him to hold back the two from Samsara for so long. The professional players were surprised by this, that such precise and extreme operations, once or twice would be fine, but Fang Rui maintained them continuously in this stage. What kind of concentration was this? What kind of fatigue was this?

Yes, very tired!

Fang Rui quickly felt the fatigue, and at this time, it had been less than a minute since he began to contain the two.

But he was mentally prepared for this. He knew from the beginning how difficult the situation he would face would be. Ye Xiu's one-on-three control was to show weakness to the enemy, using the opponent's initiative to attract them, while his one-on-two containment required him to constantly limit his opponents with his control in order to completely complete the containment.

He did it.

So far, it can definitely be described as perfect.

But fatigue was rapidly invading his brain, plundering his control over his fingers.

After all, he had exerted himself in the individual competition, and then started the team competition after a short rest.

Persist, persist!

Fang Rui was very clear about the weight of everything he was doing at this time. If the initial tone of the match was laid by Ye Xiu's one-on-three, then at this moment, the final trend of the match was to be created by him.

He never thought that he was the core of this team, he only demanded that he play a performance that matched his identity. And now, he knew that this was a time when he could truly lay the foundation for victory, as long as he persisted here.

Don't set a lower limit, don't calculate so much. Fang Rui had only one belief in his heart at this time: persist, persist endlessly, keep these two people here, and never relax until the moment of victory.

One minute…

One and a half minutes…

Two minutes…

Two and a half minutes…

Fang Rui was still persisting, perfectly, without revealing the slightest flaw. More and more people were paying attention to this side, and more and more people realized how incredible things were happening here. The professional players had long forgotten their bets.

One minute, that was the final capped time when they opened the market to bet earlier. Only one person called out this time, Ruan Yongbin from Team Howling. Below this one minute, the highest was only called to 45 seconds. Ruan Yongbin called out one minute in one breath, and everyone didn't think much of it. Because everyone knew that Ruan Yongbin and Fang Rui were former teammates and had a good relationship, this call to one minute was more like a kind of support.

But now, one minute?

Wrong, completely wrong. Even Ruan Yongbin, who gave Fang Rui support with emotion, underestimated Fang Rui's energy.

Two and a half minutes, this is the current result. Fang Rui is still continuing, still using an impeccable performance to prevent Fang Minghua's Xiao Ge Zi Ruo from breaking free, and also preventing Lu Boyuan's Yunshan Luan from leaving alone.

The battle in the scrap heap had been going on for two and a half minutes. The battle was no longer a double line, but a single piece, presenting a three-on-four situation.

Although Samsara had fewer people, its three top experts had formidable attack power. Judging from the scene, they were the ones taking the initiative more often. The three of them locked onto Little Cold Hands as the breakthrough point and constantly launched attacks.

On Happy's side, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had completely become Little Cold Hands' protector, basically inseparable. Su Mucheng and Qiao Yifan were constantly supporting from the side.

Fang Rui desperately dragged two people to create a four-on-three situation, but Happy didn't engage in a fierce head-on confrontation with the opponent, but instead was on the defensive, which inevitably made people feel regretful. But experts who knew how to watch knew that although Happy had adopted a defensive posture, they were not passive at all. This kind of defensive posture was completely taken advantage of after seeing the opponent's intentions.

Attacking the healer is a very common routine, but no team has been so frantically attacked by the opponent as Happy has been this season. Too many such experiences have allowed Happy to accumulate a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of situation, not to mention that they have used this point from the beginning to make a lot of targeted arrangements and exercises.

If the conditioned reflex of other teams when the healer is attacked is protection, then Happy's conditioned reflex when the healer is attacked is: the opportunity to kill the opponent has come.

This kind of awareness, this kind of playstyle has become a style of Happy. Even in the absence of pre-match deployment, when faced with this kind of situation, Happy's players will subconsciously look for ways to take the opportunity to kill the opponent.

Any team's protection of the healer is completely defensive, only Happy's protection of the healer reveals a strong aggressiveness. This was originally their weakness, but over the course of this season, while the weakness has improved, it has also been filled with various barbs by Happy. Anyone who wants to break through from here has never been able to come out unscathed. More people have had their weaknesses become their execution grounds.

Samsara is not unaware of this. As the opponent in the finals, they have thoroughly studied everything about Happy. But in the current situation, they really have no other choice.

They attacked, Happy defended, but in the end, the lives they paid were not much less, and Happy had a priest to recover, while they had no reinforcements for two and a half minutes.

“!!!!”

The three people on that side had sent messages in the channel more than once, and they were also surprised that the reinforcements had not arrived. Just like the audience, they never thought that Fang Rui could hold back Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua for so long. If they had known this, they would definitely not have fought like this. They would definitely have created an opportunity to simply kill their way out of the scrap heap and establish contact with the two of them.

They had been waiting, half a minute, half a minute, until the current two and a half minutes…

An incredible thing really happened, Fang Rui held back Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua for two and a half minutes.

At this point, they had lost the possibility of change!

Letting Lu Boyuan throw down Fang Minghua and go in to support, or the three of them killing their way out of the scrap heap and making contact with Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua, these choices were all possible two and a half minutes ago. But the situation on the field was changing rapidly. After two and a half minutes, the aggressiveness of the three people fighting in the scrap heap was far less than before. They had to start carefully planning the lives of their characters, who told them to attack so recklessly before? And the reason they attacked so recklessly was because they thought that support would arrive soon, but who knew that they still hadn't seen a single person even after fighting to this point.

Kill their way out now?

The three of them looked at the lives of their respective characters. At this time, if they retreated slightly, they would definitely be met with an all-out counterattack from the four of Happy. Even if they could leave forcibly two and a half minutes ago, if they played hard now, I'm afraid one or two of them would really fall here.

For Samsara, who had already lost one person and were three heads behind in the entire match, they really didn't want to take such a risk until the last moment. No matter how you looked at it, hoping that the two-on-one on the other side would make a breakthrough was much more scientific and reliable than the three of them forcing their way through.

Time was running towards three minutes, and the Samsara trio finally chose to wait.

The professional players watching the battle didn't think there was anything wrong with Samsara's performance. At this time, it was really all because of Fang Rui, because of his incredibility, that such a situation was created. In the beginning, everyone only thought that this was a place where Happy could gain some initiative and advantage, but now, this place had been truly turned into a match point by Fang Rui.

Fang Rui, how long can he hold back his opponents? If Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua complete their breakthrough at this time and ultimately support successfully, and all that Happy gains is still just an advantage rather than a final victory, then this persistence is really a bit regrettable.

Time continued to pass.

Everyone's eyes continued to focus on the entanglement between Hai Wu Liang and the two Samsara characters.

Angel's Wings! (Tian Shi Wei Guang)

Suddenly, Xiao Ge Zi Ruo's cross shone again. Fang Rui's delay against these two had finally reached the point where Xiao Ge Zi Ruo's Angel's Wings had cooled down.
