Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1280 Two Rookies of the Seventh Season

Chapter 1250 Healing

Even if a Battle Mage's recovery was low, it was still HP. If Lord Grim continued to heal like this, he could still recover quite a bit. Therefore, even though both sides seemed to have cooled down, Team B still held the initiative. They could just stay still and let Lord Grim slowly heal them. But what about Team A? There would eventually be a moment when they couldn't hold back any longer.

However, the first attack was still launched by Team B. They didn't seem to want to use Lord Grim's healing ability to gain any advantage. They stopped only because their rhythm required them to stop. In this duel without healers, both sides aimed to deal the maximum output in the shortest amount of time, so they didn't hold back on using their skills, unlike in a drawn-out battle where they needed to maintain a balance of skill cooldowns. After such a fierce exchange of attacks, the skill rotations of both sides were somewhat disrupted. This seemingly cooled-down stalemate was actually a wait for skill cooldowns.

At this moment, the Battle Mage Lord Grim, that annoying existence, stood out again.

In terms of pure output ability, Lord Grim's equipment wasn't strong enough, and his skills were low-level, probably making him the weakest of all the characters. However, the skill balance issue that everyone else had to consider didn't bother him too much. He had many skills, and most of his low-level skills had short cooldowns, so he didn't need to deliberately wait for skills.

So while everyone else was in a cold standoff, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was very active. He would heal Team B's characters for a bit, then feint an attack on Team A, busy as could be.

Team A found it annoying, especially Sun Xiang. His One Autumn Leaf had the lowest health in the entire field. If it hadn't been for Lord Grim and Dancing Rain's slightly weaker output, or if Huang Shaotian's Yu Wenzhou's support hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have fallen already. Moreover, there was no healing, and the automatic recovery of characters without relevant equipment was negligible. One Autumn Leaf remained in a precarious state.

So Ye Xiu's harassment focused on him, throwing two potshots at him or feigning an attack to make him nervous.

Such a character, seemingly still on the field, was, in a sense, already a walking corpse. Team B could take him away with a wave of strong attacks. This was clear to everyone. Since this was so clear, the players on the field would naturally take advantage of it. One Autumn Leaf, originally Team A's attacker, had moved to the rear of the team during the standoff. Who would have thought that Team B would have a Lord Grim who didn't need to rest and wait for skills, and was constantly trying to entangle One Autumn Leaf.

This was simply forcing Team A to make a move! Wouldn't it be more advantageous for Team B to delay the situation at this time?

No one understood, and the commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo were even more cautious, not daring to comment on this rashly.

Team A couldn't afford to drag on like this any longer. Even if One Autumn Leaf was low on health, he could still play some role. Being harassed by Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, and having the entire team restrained to protect him, wasn't worth it. It was better to launch an attack now. Anyway, Team A and Team B were in the same situation, their skills weren't fully recovered, and Team B wasn't much stronger.

Just as Team A was aiming their attack at the annoying Lord Grim, Team B suddenly launched an attack.

Team B was clearly forcing Team A to make a move, but when Team A was about to make a move, Team B insisted on taking the initiative. This... this... this was purely playing around, right?

The audience felt that this was a bit absurd, but they didn't know how much this had disrupted Team A's rhythm. Huang Shaotian successfully assassinated Desert Dust, and both sides separated to adjust. Team B received Lord Grim's negligible healing, while Team A? They were harassed by Lord Grim, and their intentions couldn't be executed accurately. They were eventually forced to fight again, but Team B took the initiative.

This brief standoff, although not as intense as before, was just as full of countless details. At first glance, it was impossible to understand, but soon, the details led to a turbulent scene.

Sun Xiang still didn't dare to be arrogant. One Autumn Leaf completely lost the role he had originally played in Team A. So, this role fell on Tang Hao, a rookie who debuted at the same time as Sun Xiang, but whose rise was completely opposite to Sun Xiang's.

Sun Xiang clearly started high and went low, but fortunately, he didn't fall into despair because of this. When Excellent Era disbanded, Samsara, a top-tier powerhouse, extended an olive branch to him. From this point of view, Sun Xiang was also a very lucky person. Sun Xiang, who arrived at Samsara, seemed to have grown a lot from the setbacks at Excellent Era, and eventually partnered with Zhou Zekai to create the most powerful combination in the alliance.

On the other hand, Tang Hao? His growth trajectory was completely opposite to Sun Xiang's.

Except for his first season in the alliance, he was no different from any other rookie. He experienced all the hardships that all rookies would experience. He spent his rookie year like this. Until the following year, when the team's god-level captain, Zhang Jiale, unexpectedly retired, the team suddenly became headless flies. In a hurry, they pushed Zou Yuan, a rookie who debuted at the same time as him, onto the stage, directly taking over the team's number one character, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, the core of Hundred Blossoms for many years.

Zou Yuan's encounter was truly enviable, but no one expected that in that season, the one who ultimately rose from Hundred Blossoms was not Zou Yuan, but Tang Hao.

An upset!

This was Tang Hao's declaration at the All-Star Game that year. It was also a true reflection of his inner thoughts. He didn't have the good opportunities and luck like Sun Xiang and Zou Yuan. Everything he had obtained, in his opinion, was earned by his own efforts, punch by punch.

An upset, defeating not only the number one rogue, Lin Jingyan? Not only that, in that season, Hundred Blossoms still had their core character Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, but the real core? It was Tang Hao, his rogue character Delillo, a character who was originally just a substitute in Hundred Blossoms.

So Tang Hao was proud, because everything he had done was indeed worthy of pride. In a situation where no one particularly valued him, and the team didn't provide any resources, Tang Hao rose from an inconspicuous rookie to become the team's core, and now he was the leader of the Wind Howl team, a popular expert ranked 8th on the All-Star list.

Was Tang Hao satisfied with this?

Of course not!

He wanted to become the most valuable player in the alliance. He wanted to challenge for the trophy that everyone dreamed of. And at this moment, everyone standing on this arena could be his obstacle, could be his target for an upset.

But just now, under Wang Jiexi's Twisting Trees, he was instantly blown away.

At that moment, he really couldn't resist Twisting Trees's offensive at all. Was the magician's style of play so bizarre? Once upon a time, when he saw it in the video footage, Tang Hao regretted that Wang Jiexi didn't play like this now. He even provoked Wang Jiexi when he met him in the arena during matches against Tiny Herb.

Of course, Wang Jiexi ignored him. Gradually, Tang Hao stopped paying attention to this long-sealed style of play. Who would have thought that Wang Jiexi would suddenly use it at this high-profile All-Star Game, and use him as a sacrifice. To be precise, not a knife, a broom... sounded even worse than a knife.

Shock, humiliation, and also a trace of fear, and... trembling with excitement.

An upset!

Tang Hao's vision was locked on Wang Jiexi's Twisting Trees. He was going to repay the humiliation just now many times over. The magician's style of play? He was caught off guard before, but he could definitely handle it the next time.

Come on!

Tang Hao couldn't wait to welcome Team B's offensive, but the only one in his sight was Twisting Trees.

Twisting Trees rode his broom, Twisting Trees floated up, Twisting Trees flew at ultra-low altitude, Twisting Trees charged over!

What! He wasn't charging at himself?

"Where are you going!" Tang Hao shouted, immediately operating Tang Three Strikes to intercept him.

"Where are you going, I said?" A voice, like a bolt from the blue, rang in his ear.

Was the voice too close? Was it an enemy?

Of course it was an enemy.

Lord Grim, when he suddenly rushed to Tang Three Strikes' side, was actually ignored. Tang Three Strikes didn't pay attention to him and rushed to the other side.

"These young people are really arrogant!" Ye Xiu said, and Lord Grim launched a frantic attack.

Chaos!

Tang Hao was confused again, his mind full of Twisting Trees, full of Wang Jiexi's previous bizarre magician's style of play. His eyes had been limited by his heart, and he didn't notice that Team B had sent Lord Grim to deal with him.

When he came back to his senses, he was already in the sky. Lord Grim's skills were bombarding him one after another, and he... was blown away again.

Tang Hao was so vulnerable. Both teams were surprised, but Team B didn't want to miss the opportunity that had appeared.

Team A's offensive was led by Tang Hao this time, but Tang Hao was instantly blown away. What did this mean was too clear.

Dragon Breaks the Ranks! (hao long po jun)

As a result, at this moment, One Autumn Leaf fiercely charged over, in a near-death state, he crashed straight into Lord Grim.

He couldn't do much in this situation. He couldn't withstand too intense a fight. Perhaps waiting for an opportunity to kill with one blow like Huang Shaotian was a good choice. But now, Tang Hao had been blown away, and Huang Shaotian and Zhou Zekai's rhythm had been affected. When the two had to act like repairmen to fix the situation, Sun Xiang gritted his teeth and took the lead.

He couldn't do much anymore. If his sacrifice could save Tang Hao at this moment, it would be a worthwhile exchange.
