Chapter 81 Of Course Ye Xiu's Predictions Weren't Baseless

A Gunner's melee combat ability could be counted from the bottom in all 24 classes. In the "Which class has the weakest melee combat ability?" vote, they were never absent and always got a high number of votes. Currently, they were neck and neck with Summoners.

Now that he was being stepped on by Lord Grim, a scattered person with a large number of low-level skills and an extremely fast attack rhythm, no one thought Ye Xiu's declaration of victory was exaggerated.

"Not necessarily!" However, Guo Shao disagreed.

After the Trampling Shot ended, the moment Beckoning's foot left, Beckoning immediately rolled to his feet. But the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already transformed into a spear, stabbing like a poisonous snake.

Clang!

It was actually the sound of metal colliding. This sound was most commonly heard during attack parries.

And of all the Gunner's skills that could be used for this kind of attack parry, there was only one.

Pulling Shot!

Each of the 24 classes had a Floating Skill that could be learned from the start. For Gunners, it was this Pulling Shot with a fling of the hand cannon. Guo Shao used this fling to actually parry Lord Grim's Dragon Tooth.

Beckoning took advantage of the momentum to jump up, the cannonball fired, and with the recoil, he retreated rapidly.

But Lord Grim had too many low-level skills. Even if the attack skill he had previously used as a quick movement skill was still on cooldown, he had other options.

Berserker skill: Colliding Stab!

Lord Grim charged out with his sword. Beckoning, flying backwards from the Cannonball, couldn't match the speed of this skill's charge. He was immediately impaled on the tip of the sword, followed by a series of combos.

The scattered person's close-quarters combat that had blown up Zhang Jiale and defeated Sun Zhepeng was now facing a rookie, a Gunner who wasn't good at melee combat.

The scene was truly without suspense.

But...

"Not necessarily yet!" The rookie Guo Shao hadn't given up yet.

"Your spirit is commendable!" Ye Xiu praised. "In that case, I have to be even more careful..."

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella constantly changed, and skills were piled one after another onto Beckoning. Guo Shao was looking for an opportunity, but couldn't find one. Every possibility of escape was completely blocked by Ye Xiu.

"Truly terrifying." He was still sighing, his morale didn't seem to be affected at all, but at this moment, his Beckoning fell.

Guo Shao didn't give up, but he also couldn't find an opportunity...

Walking out of the competition booth, Guo Shao looked at Ye Xiu on the other side.

"Senior, you're amazing!" Guo Shao shouted loudly, giving a thumbs up.

"This psycho is actually praising his opponent!!" He Ming and the other three were about to jump up, nervously watching the reaction of the audience. The audience was indeed in an uproar. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, waved at Guo Shao over here and then left the stage.

In the individual competition, Xingxin won three to zero.

But back in the player area, Guo Shao didn't seem to be affected by such a crushing defeat.

"Everyone, cheer up!" He, who had just lost, was actually cheering on his teammates.

"You rascal!" He Ming's face was dark. As the captain, he had to say a few words.

"How can you praise your opponent like that? Isn't that boosting their morale and extinguishing our own?" He Ming scolded.

"Because he's really too amazing, so I didn't think too much about it," Guo Shao said.

"..." Guo Shao's candidness without excuses made it impossible for He Ming to scold him any further.

"Don't do that next time..." he could only say weakly.

The individual competition, all three matches were lost...

He Ming and the other two veteran teammates looked at each other. According to their initial expectations, in the individual competition, the first match would be given to Ye Xiu, then the second match would be Wang Ze defeating Su Mucheng, and the third match would be Guo Shao, who had a decent level, rushing in. If he played well, it might be a 2-1 lead. But now, it seemed a bit different from what they expected!

"The team arena is up to you guys," Wang Ze said.

He Ming and Shen Jian were going to be in the team arena.

"Why do I feel like Xingxin's condition doesn't seem to be affected by the magazine at all!" Shen Jian glanced at Xingxin's player area. Didn't those guys read the magazine after they got it?

"Wei Chen, Su Mucheng, and Ye Xiu are all experienced and mature players. It's not surprising that they can adjust their mental state well," He Ming said, pretending to be calm. "Tang Rou should be on in the next team arena. She will definitely be affected."

"Maybe she won't play today?" Shen Jian said.

"Uh, then the other younger players will have some flaws," He Ming said.

"There's also Fang Rui," Shen Jian said.

"Fang Rui's Qi Master isn't too skilled yet, so his strength is discounted," He Ming said.

"Mm..." Shen Jian nodded. In fact, they had analyzed and pondered these things countless times before the match.

"I'll go first, Jia Xing in the middle, you defend the arena," He Ming finally announced the lineup. Jia Xing was the Miracle team's Battle Mage player, with the character name Aotian Doufa.

The short break between the individual competition and the team arena quickly passed. With the prompt on the electronic screen, He Ming stood up, perked up, and walked towards the stage. On Xingxin's side, the first player to appear wasn't Tang Rou, who had always been in the lead, but Fang Rui.

After all, he was an All-Star level player. Seeing that it was Fang Rui, He Ming still felt some pressure.

Relax, he's still in the transitional phase. Focus your attention, don't be impatient, there will definitely be many opportunities to win.

He Ming silently muttered in his heart, walked onto the stage, and entered the Miracle team's player area. On the other side, Fang Rui also entered the area, and the map for this match began to slowly project in the center of the arena.

Wuchuan Road, a small map with a martial arts style. It wasn't an obstacle for the three players in the Miracle team. The map selection for the team arena was usually decided like this.

The two characters quickly spawned at both ends of Wuchuan Road. In the center of the map was a tavern with a large flag hanging outside the door. The scarlet flag had a large "wine" character embroidered in gold, fluttering in the wind, especially ostentatious. And this tavern lived up to this flamboyant flag. The tavern had three large courtyards inside and out, occupying the center of the map. In terms of area, it took up as much as one-ninth of the map. Outside the tavern was a circle of desolate yellow earth, and the sand and dust could turn the sky yellow when the wind blew.

With the tavern in the center, the two characters wouldn't meet directly. The tavern had become a usable scene for ambushes or sneak attacks. At the thought of his opponent being the despicable master Fang Rui, He Ming immediately felt that the tavern was full of countless dangers. However, having chosen this map, the three players of the Miracle team couldn't be unfamiliar with it. And the main structure that needed to be understood in this map was the structure of the tavern. He Ming controlled his Elementalist, Loro, and didn't rush forward after approaching the tavern. Although the two characters were the same distance from the tavern, their movement speeds were different. If a Qi Master wanted to seize this time, he could use Wind Following Clouds to speed up and enter the tavern before the Elementalist.

Fang Rui would definitely use this terrain. He Ming had a firm understanding of this in his mind. So before entering the tavern, he stopped Loro's footsteps and clearly and completely thought through the entire terrain of the tavern. After sorting out a clear judgment, He Ming's Elementalist, Loro, stepped into the tavern's main courtyard through the side door.

Inside was a very large courtyard, with long and square tables placed in it. The base of the courtyard wall was densely packed with wine jars. However, there were no NPCs set up in the battle map. This place, which should have been full of people drinking and chatting, was empty, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

He Ming didn't stay in this courtyard for long. He controlled Loro and wanted to go deeper when he suddenly heard a "popping" sound.

What was that sound?

He Ming's judgment was quite accurate. His view immediately turned to the direction of the sound, but there was a courtyard wall separating them. The sound must have come from behind the wall.

Was it a genuine slip-up or a trap to lure me in?

He Ming's brain was spinning rapidly. Loro walked over, but didn't immediately pass through the courtyard wall, but stood close to the wall.

Entering through this door was a relatively narrow corridor. He Ming thought about the terrain here and had an idea in his mind.

Loro flashed to the door, waved his staff, and pointed. An ice wall stood in the corridor inside the door. Only then did He Ming let Loro fly in.

"You're really cautious!" Fang Rui's taunt appeared in the chat. Sure enough, Fang Rui's Boundless Sea was here in the hallway, but he was separated from the other side by the ice wall that was suddenly cast.

"In that case, you can't hit me either!" Fang Rui sent a laughing emoji, as if He Ming's ice wall was very weak.

He Ming wasn't disturbed by Fang Rui's trash talk at all. He was glad for his caution. If it weren't for that, he might have been ambushed by Fang Rui's Boundless Sea.

"No one can hit anyone. I'm leaving!" Fang Rui said, and Boundless Sea turned to leave.

Having finally captured a despicable opponent, there was no way He Ming would allow the other party to disappear so quickly. Ice walls could block movement and attacks, but they couldn't block an Elementalist's control of elemental power.

Loro raised one hand, and several elemental forces from the air and the earth were gathered and finally converged in Loro's mind. Skill: Concentration. After activating this skill, the Elementalist's next spell would definitely be an instant cast spell.

Then, he pointed his staff, and the level 70 Elementalist's ultimate move, Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire, was instantly summoned across the ice wall. Seeing that the situation was bad, Fang Rui quickly controlled Boundless Sea to flip backwards, managing to take only a little damage. Looking ahead again, the Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire Formation had completely blocked his path. It was definitely unscientific to force his way through. Under the operator's intentional control, forcing his way through Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire wouldn't only cause damage, but would also be blocked and confined, ultimately leading nowhere.

"You're really shameless. I'll fight you!" Fang Rui sent a message. Boundless Sea turned around, rushed forward, and slammed his palm onto the ice wall.

Flash Hundred Strikes!

If the ice wall wasn't broken, it would last for quite a while, much longer than Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire. But Fang Rui wouldn't let Boundless Sea leisurely admire the scenery here, waiting for time to pass. Being trapped in such a narrow space, if he let He Ming chant a few area spells, he wouldn't even have a chance to dodge.

The ice wall had to be broken instantly. Fang Rui didn't hesitate to use this ultimate move.
