Chapter 117

The refreshed NPCs could be a hindrance, but they could also be exploited. If these NPCs could be fully utilized, it would undoubtedly make for a very clever match.

Sun Xiang once felt invincible, that there was nothing he couldn't do in Glory. But now, he realized that these things requiring so much calculation were really not his forte. So in the end, he simply stopped thinking about how to exploit these things. If they were an interference, then he would just sweep them away!

All the NPCs within the range of Dou Po Shanhe (Mountain-Shattering Strike) were sent flying into the air. The players from both teams on the sidelines were taking the time to observe. No one could really judge the fighting power of these NPCs without such a collision. In addition, what would the attitude of these NPCs be when suddenly subjected to such a proactive attack? From what they had seen so far, neither team had paid much attention to the existence of Lord Grim and One Autumn Leaf. When the two characters climbed up the mountain wall, there was no specific response aimed at their actions.

But now, being subjected to such a proactive attack, if they still showed no reaction, then the setting of this event would be a bit boring. Glory, this classic game, never had such meaningless settings, whether it was in the online game or on a competitive map.

Sure enough, the two teams of NPCs who were proactively attacked by Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf were no longer unmoved. Both sides immediately had a clear attack directed at One Autumn Leaf.

Guns, spells...

One Autumn Leaf was surrounded. Naturally, the first to attack were these ranged attacks. In addition to those that caused damage, there were also spells that created control effects. The job distribution among these two NPC teams was quite complete.

But Sun Xiang wouldn't have failed to anticipate this change. As the attacks reached his body, Dou Po Shanhe had already finished its move. One Autumn Leaf strode forward, leaving several attacks behind him. At the same time, he swung his arm again and used a Ba Sui (Overlord Chop) while moving, flinging it towards the NPCs who were falling from mid-air like dumplings.

A streak of black light. Several NPCs who had fallen in front of One Autumn Leaf were hit by Ba Sui, creating a knockback effect. One by one, they crashed into the mountain wall, where Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was leisurely watching the show!

Sun Xiang had not forgotten who his opponent was, had not forgotten the purpose of the match! While clearing away these interferences, he had already begun to attack Ye Xiu.

Sun Xiang turned the NPCs into human cannonballs, but the knockback effect of this Ba Sui was not strong. These human cannonballs were not flying fast. It would be easy to block them with an attack, or even use a grab-type skill to throw them back at One Autumn Leaf. However, Ye Xiu chose to dodge. Lord Grim jumped away from his original position, again using the function of the ninja blade. Lord Grim climbed and moved on the mountain wall, carefully avoiding any conflict with any of the NPCs that Sun Xiang sent over.

"What does this guy want to do?"

The pro players were a little confused. Sun Xiang had already been tormented by him and had to face the attacks of the NPCs. This was a good opportunity to add insult to injury and press the attack, but Ye Xiu actually avoided fighting and seemed intent on watching the show, which really puzzled them.

It wasn't until the NPCs who had been lifted into the air by Dou Po Shanhe crashed back to the ground, and then launched another wave of ranged attacks at One Autumn Leaf, while the melee classes also closed in, that the pro players suddenly realized something from the NPCs' series of actions.

"This guy is too cunning!" Everyone sighed.

Ye Xiu could have launched an offensive at this point, but he avoided it, not for any other reason than that he didn't want to provoke the hatred of the NPCs. At this time, the NPCs had already taken action against One Autumn Leaf. If Lord Grim attacked One Autumn Leaf again at this time, it would be easy for Sun Xiang to guide the attack onto the NPCs.

So he chose to dodge, never colliding with the NPCs in the slightest, and not giving Sun Xiang this opportunity to guide the attacks.

This sensitive awareness of NPC hatred was really only something that could be developed after playing online games for a long time. The high-level pro players were obviously not sensitive enough in this regard, to the extent that no one noticed Ye Xiu's intention the first time.

The battle continued.

But it had turned into a duel between Sun Xiang and the NPCs. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was safe and sound, sitting on the sidelines, and then it became his trash-talking time.

"Right, right."

"Left, left."

"Overhead."

"Not bad reaction!"

"Fourteen o'clock direction."

"That's two o'clock!"

"Haha, just kidding."

"Oh, you didn't believe me?"

Messages kept appearing in the channel. Ye Xiu pointed and commented on the melee between Sun Xiang and the NPCs from a high position. The Samsara fans were all suffocating. Most of them felt that Sun Xiang was in a desperate situation in this battle, but the pro players didn't see the problem so simply. They quickly noticed that although Sun Xiang was in such a chaotic situation, One Autumn Leaf was not seriously injured, and was becoming more and more courageous as he fought.

"The NPCs' fighting power isn't too strong!" The pro players said.

This was the reason for their different views from ordinary players. Because of the difference in level, their perspectives were different. Surrounded by so many NPCs, ordinary players would think it was a certain death situation, but for pro players, this was still within their ability to cope.

Another point was that the NPCs did not forget their battle with each other just because One Autumn Leaf had intruded. At this time, they were also attacking each other, which Sun Xiang also cleverly used.

The figure in the chaos became clearer and clearer, and his whole body was entangled with various magical auras.

Wu (None)-attribute Chaser, Light-attribute Chaser, Dark-attribute Chaser, Fire-attribute Chaser, Ice-attribute Chaser…

Five kinds of Chaser states, five colors, One Autumn Leaf now had them all, and without interruption. In addition, there was a layer of golden light covering his whole body, which fiercely diluted the light of the five Chaser states at this time.

Dou Zhe Yi Zhi (Battle Spirit)!

The Battle Mage's awakening skill, a battle state created by the number of combos. After the level 75 update, it could reach the eighth stage at most, a classic skill loved by countless players in the online game.

And at this time, the degree of golden aura and battle energy shining around One Autumn Leaf was exactly at the highest eighth stage, which was extremely rare in this professional season. Especially in a one-on-one match, the eighth stage of Battle Spirit required 150 combos.

Such a perverted requirement was impossible to achieve in a one-on-one match. An opponent who would let you hit them with 150 combos was about the same as a wooden dummy. It would be redundant to activate the Battle Spirit state.

Therefore, many pro players' Battle Mages don't even level this skill too high. Awakening skills are quite powerful, and the skill point consumption is of course different.

But who was One Autumn Leaf? That was the one called Dou Shen (Battle God), the number one character in Glory. His Battle Spirit had always been maxed out. Before it was Ye Xiu, and after Sun Xiang took over, with his personality at the time, of course he would not think that he could not do what Ye Xiu could do. So he did not adjust the points for Battle Spirit. After the level 75 update, he added another level on top of the original seventh level, raising it to the eighth level.

When he came to Samsara, Sun Xiang had begun to re-examine himself. But he did not respec and re-add points for the Battle Spirit skill. He felt that such a skill that relied on technology to improve combat power was in line with his style. It was difficult to hit such a high stage in a one-on-one match, but there was always a chance in team matches. Although it was still very difficult, the Ye Xiu of the past had done it!

Battle Spirit, although many people think that it is not practical in the professional arena, in the hearts of Battle Mage players, it is a glory that belongs exclusively to them. Being able to ignite the high-level light of Battle Spirit in a match is something that every combat player has dreamed of, even if many people end up adding very few points to this skill.

And Sun Xiang, he dared to put this fantasy into action. He hoped that he could ignite the golden light of fighting spirit in the match.

And today, he did it.

Although he had earned the advantage of the map setting, if he hadn't had such a goal from the beginning, today's One Autumn Leaf might have only had a second or third-level Battle Spirit, and would not have ignited such brilliant battle energy.

"Ye Xiu played a little too much this time, right?" The pro players sighed.

The NPCs' fighting power was not abnormal, and did not completely restrict Sun Xiang. One Autumn Leaf paid a certain amount of damage, but completely ignited the strongest posture of the Battle Mage. If this continued, these NPCs would not become an obstacle, and in the end, Ye Xiu would have to face such a powerful One Autumn Leaf. This was a powerful posture that even he, the creator of One Autumn Leaf, had never seen before.
