Chapter 现场掌声

The audience applauded!

The audience hadn't really grasped the deep level of mutual wariness and probing in the match between Ye Xiu and Gai Caijie. However, there were always audience members sitting in just the right spot who, from their perspective, saw Lord Grim changing the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

To be honest, when they first saw it, it happened so quickly that the players who saw it didn't even realize what had happened. But the good thing about this match was that the conversation between the two players served as commentary, completely revealing the intricacies of the match. So, the moment it was revealed, many audience members snapped to attention and shouted excitedly, "I saw it, I saw it!"

They realized that what they had seen was Lord Grim changing the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

"I saw it once!"

"I saw it twice!"

"I saw it three times!"

"Four times!"

Gradually, they even started competing with each other, and soon it went wild. There couldn't be too many switches, because changing weapons had a cooldown. The greatest significance of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was that its form changes solved the cooldown problem. But in this match, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had been switched at least twice, that was for sure. He started with the level 70 Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, used the level 5 one when selling the opening, and then switched back to level 70.

In any case, Gai Caijie lost, and this was Team Happy's home court, so the applause had to be very enthusiastic. Plus, it was another strong start, as if foreshadowing that Team Happy would continue their dominance tonight. Since their 10-0 victory over Team Magical in the ninth round, who was the happiest about Team Happy's winning streak and crushing victories? Of course, it was Team Happy's supporters! The attendance rate at home games was higher each round, and more and more people in H City were starting to seriously value Team Happy.

10 to 0!

The audience shouted it out loud. A new team that had just entered the Alliance, facing Team Void, a regular in the playoffs, was actually being cheered on for a 10-0 victory. This showed the current status of Team Happy. If they could beat Team Hundred Blossoms 9-1 and Team Misty Rain 10-0, why couldn't they conquer Team Void 10-0? That's what the fans thought.

But what would happen next was temporarily out of the control of Ye Xiu, who had already left the stage. Steamed Bun, Team Happy's second player in the individual competition, stood up and jogged excitedly towards the stage.

"10 to 0!" Steamed Bun cheered along with the audience, making them even more excited.

Team Void's second player in the individual competition was Li Xun, an assassin player, with the character name Empty Shadow Fiend.

Li Xun was also a popular player. He was currently the only player who still liked to use the assassin skill, *shě shēn yī jī* (Sacrifice) to create a one-hit kill. Since entering the professional league in the fifth season and joining Team Void, he had been obsessed with the thrill of instantly killing enemies.

However, he was the only assassin player who still did this, and there was a reason for that. In the current Glory competitive environment, the chances of *shě shēn yī jī* succeeding were getting lower and lower. Even though Li Xun insisted on not giving up, he couldn't build his entire playstyle around it. It was just a method he would try whenever he had the opportunity, or in some situations, he was more confident than other assassin players to take a gamble.

With this hobby, this assassin was not suitable for the team arena, so Li Xun was a very fixed player for Team Void in the individual competition.

The second individual match started quickly, on the map Nine Pine Forest. Nine large pine trees were distributed in nine locations within the map, with nothing else. Because it was a one-on-one map, the area was small, and the existence of the nine large pine trees already filled a considerable amount of space on the map. The positions of the nine trees could be used strategically.

However, the two players in the actual battle didn't seem to have any intention of using the large pine trees to their advantage at the start. The two were running towards the center of the map, where two large pine trees stood side by side. Under the trees, the two met.

Brick attack.

"Old trick!" Li Xun immediately shouted. This assassin, who loved one-hit kills, was actually a relatively talkative player in matches, trying to use words to distract his opponents in order to achieve his one-hit kill pursuit. This was the summary of the meaning of Li Xun's trash talk.

Steamed Bun's brick attack had almost become a fixed pattern in his matches. As a player who talked a lot, how could he not complain about it?

"Haha, then dare to stand there and let me hit you with a brick?" Steamed Bun replied. Steamed Bun's trash talk, like everything else about him, was erratic and unpredictable. In some relatively normal conversations, he would suddenly blurt out a disconnected sentence. To be honest, Steamed Bun's trash talk was exactly what Li Xun needed, those incomprehensible, disconnected words were more likely to distract his opponents than simple complaints.

While the two were exchanging words, Li Xun's Empty Shadow Fiend had already avoided the brick. Arcane Flash swept over, attacking quite proactively.

Steamed Bun's reaction was always quick, and he immediately controlled Steamed Bun Invasion to jump back and throw out his hand.

Sand Toss was thrown out, and Empty Shadow Fiend dodged to the side with agility.

Shadow Clone Technique!

This ninja skill that could be used as an instant movement skill was something that several dark night系 (dark night-type) players were willing to learn. Li Xun suddenly used it at this moment, and Empty Shadow Fiend flashed behind Steamed Bun Invasion, causing a stir in the audience.

*Shě shēn yī jī* (Sacrifice)?

It seemed like it could really be activated, but if Li Xun used *shě shēn yī jī* so rashly, Team Void probably wouldn't support his playstyle. Li Xun's *shě shēn yī jī* couldn't succeed every time, but relatively speaking, it had a higher success rate. Team Void had also benefited from this, which was why they gave him unwavering support.

But now, he was using *shě shēn yī jī* after just a Shadow Clone Technique to get behind him at the start of the match?

Li Xun, who loved this most dangerous fighting style, was obviously a very adventurous person. But the problem was that using *shě shēn yī jī* now wasn't a question of whether it was adventurous or not. It was quite impossible to kill a full-health Brawler with *shě shēn yī jī*, even if Li Xun had intentionally stacked some health on his assassin Empty Shadow Fiend because of his favorite playstyle, but the Brawler's armor profession had a health growth of 3.5, which wasn't bad among the 24 professions. What the Brawler lacked was spirit, with only 1.5 growth.

He couldn't kill him in one hit, that was the key. If Steamed Bun Invasion was a Summoner or an Elementalist, then Empty Shadow Fiend might really use *shě shēn yī jī*.

At this moment, Throat-cut!

A low-level skill with fast execution, but with a very considerable damage bonus in the backstab state, Throat-cut.

The cold light streaked towards Steamed Bun Invasion's neck. This strike would only be the beginning. There would definitely be several consecutive strikes next. If he controlled it well, he might even use *shě shēn yī jī* at the end and take him down in one wave.

People who were familiar with Li Xun and supported Li Xun were expecting this scene to happen.

But, the cold light missed!

Steamed Bun Invasion suddenly crouched down, avoiding the Throat-cut.

Excellent awareness!

People exclaimed, recognizing the Shadow Clone Technique and judging the method of attack from behind!

And he even used a crouch, this was the rhythm of an immediate counterattack!

Sure enough!

Steamed Bun Invasion suddenly rushed up.

Tyrannical Fist! He's using a big move directly!

To everyone's surprise, Steamed Bun Invasion, starting with a crouching rush, pounced fiercely and pinned Empty Shadow Fiend's shadow clone to the ground. The raised fist hadn't even been hammered down yet, and Empty Shadow Fiend's shadow clone was already a wisp of bubbles.

"Huh?" Steamed Bun wondered.

The audience was stunned.

"What are you doing?" Li Xun was also stunned, and didn't even let Empty Shadow Fiend immediately follow up with an attack after the Throat-cut. He had the opportunity to do so. But this Tyrannical Fist made him a little dizzy.

Steamed Bun's control was fast, there was no doubt about that. And Li Xun, who was in the midst of the situation, could even feel that the launch of this Tyrannical Fist was even before his Throat-cut. If Steamed Bun Invasion had completed the launch during the turn, then in addition to avoiding the Throat-cut, Li Xun estimated that it would have been difficult for him to dodge this Tyrannical Fist with Empty Shadow Fiend. But as a result, this guy didn't even realize it was a Shadow Clone Technique, and actually pounced out such a big move towards the shadow clone. Of course, this was probably the reason why his Tyrannical Fist was launched even earlier than the Throat-cut, because he didn't consider there was a threat behind him at all, he was enthusiastically going to kill his opponent.

Li Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, he really didn't expect his opponent to not notice this Shadow Clone Technique at all. After all, his character wasn't a Ninja, and among the Ninja skills below level 20, only the Shadow Clone Technique required hand seals. Although Li Xun tried his best to conceal it, how sharp should the eyes of professional players be? Such an abrupt action on an assassin's body was easily noticed.

As a result, he actually encountered someone who didn't know anything about the situation.

"So it was a Shadow Clone Technique, good kid, you tricked me." Steamed Bun Invasion got up from the ground, turned sharply, and glared at Empty Shadow Fiend behind him.

Li Xun was filled with mixed emotions. He really didn't know what to say.

"You're really lucky..." Li Xun said.

"Lucky? That's also part of strength," Steamed Bun said. But he was obviously just talking about the matter at hand, he hadn't yet figured out what kind of twists and turns had just happened.

"Lose! You unlucky ghost!" Steamed Bun's divine logic immediately positioned Li Xun, who praised him for being "lucky," as an unlucky ghost, and Steamed Bun Invasion stepped forward and charged.

"Let's see how lucky you can be!" Li Xun shouted, Empty Shadow Fiend activated Quick Movement and then Sprint, his speed so fast that he seemed like a wisp of smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he had directly cut to Steamed Bun Invasion's side.

Jumping Dagger!

Empty Shadow Fiend swung the dagger in his hand, this was the assassin's launch skill.

As a result, Steamed Bun Invasion turned and flicked his hand, and it was a slap in the face, *pa*, knocking the dagger away.

This guy, his speed and reaction in terms of control are not slow, but he seems a bit dull and stupid. He's really a good prey for a one-hit kill!

Li Xun thought excitedly. These days, opportunities for one-hit kills are all earned through hard work. It's really too difficult to find such a natural airhead in this high-end professional circle.

Perfect prey!
