72% of his life remaining, that was an enormous advantage in a擂tai competition.

It was because of this advantage that could accumulate in a 擂tai competition that, even though they looked like one-on-ones, the fighting styles of a 擂tai competition and a personal competition were actually quite different. In a personal competition, all that mattered was taking down the opponent as quickly as possible. But in a 擂tai competition, an important topic was "how to defeat the opponent with the least amount of life lost."

Efficiency. 擂tai competitions placed more emphasis on attacking efficiency than personal competitions. In the match that had just ended, Sun Xiang had undoubtedly done a great job in this regard. By using positioning and patience, he had greatly compressed his opponent's room for maneuver, and in the end, he had easily won with great efficiency.

A player who relied on hand speed, operations, and techniques to win all year round suddenly played a game of strategy, and ended up trapping even the master of wretched play, Fang Rui.

"This was an atypical victory for Sun Xiang!" Li Yibo confidently commented on the completed match. He had originally had a chance to accurately predict the outcome, but he had missed it due to caution, and now Li Yibo was frantically making up for it to show off his Glory knowledge, leaving commentator Pan Lin unable to interject. Fortunately, there was a time limit for the alternating appearances of the 擂tai competition players. After Xingxin's Fang Rui went down, the second player to appear quickly walked onto the stage.

"This guy, he brought his brain with him today?" Fang Rui complained when he returned to the player's seat, referring to Sun Xiang, of course. Obviously, in his eyes, Sun Xiang had always been a guy who didn't use his brain much when playing.

"Your handling was a bit sloppy too!" Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah!" Fang Rui sighed. "I should have just squatted there and waited to see who could outlast who!"

Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You couldn't have been unaware of that ambush point. You should have been more careful."

"I didn't know he brought his brain today!" Fang Rui said.

"..."

"Alright, I admit I was a bit careless and underestimated him," Fang Rui sighed.

"It was really unexpected that Sun Xiang would fight like this." Ye Xiu watched the stage. Sun Xiang, who had once confidently believed that he could replace him on Team Excellent Era, had finally grown up after experiencing relegation and failure in the Challenger League.

Making such a layout, especially in the 擂tai competition, meant that he had begun to clearly recognize his position and what he should do on the field. He was no longer just fighting for himself, but was starting to play well for the entire team.

"Mo Fan... I'm afraid it won't be easy for him either..." Fang Rui said, looking at Xingxin's second player to take the field, Mo Fan, who had just entered the competition seat.

"Let's see how he fights. The current Mo Fan is no longer the monotonous style he used to be," Ye Xiu said.

Everyone was growing during the half-season of league battles. Mo Fan was no longer always squatting and ambushing like a scavenger. He had also learned to assess the situation and learned richer combat methods. However, he had not abandoned some of the habits and advantages he had developed while scavenging in the game. He was patient, cautious, and good at seizing opportunities, and these qualities were very suitable for the Ninja, a profession that was good at covert operations. Mo Fan was now also a professional player in his own right, and was starting to get some attention from the outside world.

In the first place! Deception was already a notorious character in the game. Many guilds had noticed this guy, whose strength was obviously beyond that of ordinary players. However, his lonely personality made him completely ignore the olive branches that were being thrown at him from all directions. Until now, after being brought into the professional circle by Ye Xiu, his talents began to be displayed, proving that the major guilds had not misjudged him. It was just that everyone couldn't dig up talents, so how did Ye Xiu rush into the game and knock them away? This was really depressing for the guilds that had once recruited Deception.

After Mo Fan entered the arena, the second round of the 擂tai competition started quickly. At the start, Mo Fan did not burrow into the trenches and hide like Fang Rui, but instead had Deception rush to the center of the field as quickly as possible.

"Xingxin's Mo Fan is also good at hiding and ambushing, but it looks like he doesn't intend to do that this time!" Pan Lin said after seeing Deception's actions.

"In fact, there are so many trenches in this map. As long as you find the right position, you can use them at any time. Fang Rui's actions in the previous game were a bit too wretched," Li Yibo said. To the victor go the spoils. Fang Rui, who had lost the game, had become a negative example in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that Sun Xiang doesn't intend to use the same tactics as in the previous game in this round," Pan Lin said. Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf also rushed out very quickly after the start, which was quite like his usual style.

"There can't be a second ambush like that," Li Yibo said.

"So this time, he directly let One Autumn Leaf rush up. This is the Sun Xiang we're familiar with. It seems that this will be a fierce head-on collision. Okay, now the characters on both sides have basically appeared in each other's field of vision. What kind of offensive will they take? Eh?" Pan Lin was shouting, but Deception, who had rushed out from the front, suddenly rolled over and jumped into a ditch on the side after One Autumn Leaf appeared in his field of vision.

"Uh, Xingxin's player Mo Fan, it seems that he still intends to use the terrain to cover his actions. But his figure has already been exposed at the beginning. Sun Xiang should be able to make a rough judgment, right? Eh?" Pan Lin was saying this when Mo Fan's Deception suddenly jumped out again after moving in the ditch for a while.

"What is this? Teacher Li?" Pan Lin didn't understand and immediately asked Li Yibo.

"Probably trying to confuse the opponent's rhythm!" Li Yibo replied reluctantly. He really wanted to add "personal opinion, may not be correct" at the end.

"Sun Xiang doesn't seem to be too disturbed. One Autumn Leaf is welcoming him," Pan Lin called.

Shuriken!

In the end, it was Deception who had a bit of mid-range attack that launched the attack first.

Clang!

One Autumn Leaf's momentum did not decrease. While advancing, he flicked his battle lance and knocked away the flying shuriken. Sun Xiang's operation technique is really impeccable.

One shuriken did not create any interference for the opponent. Deception waved his arm and threw them continuously. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, with super-fast operation, four shurikens flew out in succession. This time, it was the enhanced version of the shuriken: Gale Shuriken.

The shurikens came faster and there were four of them. This time, no matter how fast Sun Xiang was, it was impossible for him to block them all with his operations.

Dragon Breaks the Ranks!

As a result, One Autumn Leaf simply didn't block and directly charged with Dragon Breaks the Ranks, ignoring the damage from the shurikens.

In the skill state of Dragon Breaks the Ranks, the Gale Shuriken could only have damage but could not cause any hindrance to One Autumn Leaf's full charge. In the blink of an eye, One Autumn Leaf had already crashed into Deception.

Poof!

The hit Deception instantly turned into a puff of smoke. His real body appeared behind One Autumn Leaf. The distance was extremely close. With the rushing speed of Dragon Breaks the Ranks, Mo Fan's operation to flash so accurately was also quite remarkable.

Ninjutsu - Sparrow Drop!

The shadow clone technique flashed Deception into mid-air. He kicked out his feet and stepped towards One Autumn Leaf's shoulders, but Sun Xiang's operation was also extremely fast. One Autumn Leaf had already jumped up and turned around while Dragon Breaks the Ranks still had momentum. The character was in a state of flying backwards, but the battle lance Evil Annihilation accurately stabbed out at this time.

Sky Strike!

The lowest-priced skill appeared at a perfect time. Deception's Sparrow Drop could no longer step on One Autumn Leaf's shoulders. In mid-air, Mo Fan also made a super-fast adjustment. Deception's Sparrow Drop actually stepped on the Evil Annihilation that One Autumn Leaf had provoked.

The precision of the operation to such an extent was truly amazing, and applause erupted in the competition venue.

Although Ninjutsu - Sparrow Drop was a level 45 skill, its judgment was ordinary, while Sky Strike was the lowest level, but its judgment in terms of launching into the air was quite strong.

This Sparrow Drop didn't even stop the upward momentum of the Sky Strike. Deception was still lifted into the air. It was just that after all, there was a skill to suppress it. Under the judgment of attack parry, he was not injured. The figure that was lifted into the air was not as embarrassed as if he had been directly hit by Sky Strike.

Wrathful Dragon Pierces the Heart!

Deception's figure was not embarrassed, but Sun Xiang wanted to create embarrassment for him. One Autumn Leaf's Evil Annihilation retracted and sent out like lightning. A level 60 ultimate move had already been used, directly chasing Deception in mid-air.

Poof!

Wrathful Dragon Pierces the Heart hit, but after a sound, the Deception in mid-air turned into a scarecrow in a puff of smoke.

Ninjutsu - Hundred Stream Slash!

Deception, who had already landed, quickly formed a hand seal, and the ninja sword was thrown out. Several streams of water immediately gathered towards One Autumn Leaf.

Sun Xiang had not yet discovered the sneak attack from behind, but Wrathful Dragon Pierces the Heart hit a substitute straw man of Deception, letting him know that the opponent's attack was coming soon. Without turning his perspective, he was already operating One Autumn Leaf to dodge to the side. While jumping away, he turned his perspective to see several streams of Hundred Stream Slash water flowing across the ground. If he reacted a little slower, he would have been trapped in the water prison.

"Mo Fan, he's fighting Sun Xiang with operations!" Commentator Pan Lin exclaimed. As a rookie player, this courage was indeed amazing. What was even more amazing was that after several rounds of technical confrontation, neither side had gained an advantage, and it seemed that they had tied.

"Fast reaction, accurate operation!" Li Yibo said. This was evaluating Mo Fan. As for Sun Xiang, there was no need to use these ordinary praises to comment on him.

As a result, after several rounds of evenly matched technical duels, Deception rolled to the side and jumped into a gully. He failed to attack and turned around to hide.

Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf hurriedly rushed over, holding the battle lance Evil Annihilation in front of him, ready to stab out at any time.

However, Deception had disappeared. The short gully was like the one Sun Xiang hid in in the previous round. Left and right, there were corners. Where did Deception go?

Sun Xiang was still judging when the soil under One Autumn Leaf's feet suddenly loosened.

Earth Tunneling Decapitation!
