Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1415 Still a Gap

Bang!

Liu Yun's silver weapon, the heavy sword Flame Shadow, finally collided with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, making a dull sound.

Meteor Style!

Among the level 75 ultimate moves, this one was extremely fast. Used by Liu Yun, whose attack speed wasn't high, it was as quick as lightning. However, it was still parried by Lord Grim.

"Ah, what a pity. If Liu Yun wasn't using a heavy sword, but a katana or lightsaber, this attack would definitely have hit," Li Yibo said with a sigh. Unexpectedly, after this attack, even though Lord Grim used the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to parry, his body still leaned back, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was actually knocked aside.

"This..." Li Yibo was taken aback. Although Meteor Style was a level 75 ultimate move, this skill was light and agile, focusing on speed. Therefore, its attack judgment wasn't considered too strong. Even if Lord Grim didn't have high-level skills, he should have been able to barely parry it. But right now, Lord Grim's movements seemed like he couldn't control the impact of this attack at all.

Intentionally selling a flaw?

The thought had just flashed through Li Yibo's mind when he saw Liu Yun already using a Reversal Stab, the sword tip forming a circle, and with a *pluh* sound, a patch of blood bloomed on Lord Grim's chest.

"Beautiful!" Pan Lin was already screaming. Lu Hanwen had finally broken through Ye Xiu's fierce attack, and in one move, he directly counterattacked successfully.

The sword momentum rolled out, carrying with it the dull sound of the sword wind. After watching a few moves, Li Yibo suddenly reacted.

"Although Liu Yun's attack speed isn't fast, the heavy sword gives his skills a stronger impact. If it were a katana or lightsaber for that Meteor Style just now, Lord Grim might have been able to parry it, but because it was a heavy sword, he was directly knocked away due to insufficient skill judgment," Li Yibo said.

"This is a good opportunity! I hope Lu Hanwen can grasp it well," Pan Lin shouted.

The attacking and defending sides instantly switched, but Liu Yun's combo had only reached the sixth move. When an Uppercut was used, Lord Grim jumped into the air. After taking this Uppercut, he flew even higher. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was raised above his head, and with a few *pa pa pa* sounds, the umbrella surface closed, the umbrella bones extended, and instantly, with a *weng weng weng* sound, they spun open, instantly pulling Lord Grim to the side.

Rising Dragon Slash!

Lu Hanwen hurriedly controlled Liu Yun to use a Jumping Slash in the air, but he was too slow. The sword light brushed past Lord Grim's body. Lu Hanwen felt regret in his heart, but unexpectedly, the buzzing sound stopped instantly, and Lord Grim had already lifted his right leg...

Eagle Stamp!

*Bang bang bang bang.*

Four consecutive kicks landed mercilessly on Liu Yun's body, and his Rising Dragon Slash judgment had long expired. He originally wanted to use a Silver Light Falling Blade to twist away, but in the end, he was too late, and was immediately stepped on by Lord Grim as he fell towards the ground.

*Tseng!* The katana in Lord Grim's hand flipped out from the umbrella handle, Silver Light Falling Blade! Lu Hanwen didn't have time to let Liu Yun use it, but Ye Xiu now leisurely revealed it. The sword tip pressed against Liu Yun's throat, continuing to fall.

All the spectators were stunned.

This reaction, this combo...

Lu Hanwen broke through the situation, and the counterattack had only just begun! The on-site Happy fans hadn't even had time to worry about Ye Xiu, and this guy had already regained the situation. In comparison, Blue Rain's players were really making the fans worry too much.

*Bang...*

With the Silver Light Falling Blade pressing down, Liu Yun had nowhere to run. He was directly crushed back underground by Lord Grim, falling with a cloud of dust. Lord Grim used Trampling Shot and Eruption Wave Sword, launching another series of sweeping attacks on the already fallen Liu Yun. Lu Hanwen returned to a disadvantage.

"Ah, Hanwen didn't grasp it well!" Huang Shaotian sighed. He was also a swordsman player, so he had a lot to say about the judgment at that moment. If it were him, he would think that this opportunity was created quite well, and he shouldn't have been defused by the opponent after only six hits.

"The move was a bit slow," Yu Wenzhou said.

"Uh... equipment will have a little impact, but a heavy sword was enough to deal with the situation just now. Hanwen still didn't master it well, and the timing wasn't right," Huang Shaotian said.

"Then it's better to say that Ye Xiu's timing was too accurate," Yu Wenzhou said.

Huang Shaotian was stunned, and after thinking about it again, it was indeed the case. The attack rhythm of the unspecialized Lord Grim was already super fast, and Ye Xiu's control was so precise. Liu Yun, Lu Hanwen's character, was a heavy sword swordsman, and it was already very difficult to match the slow rhythm with the fast one. Because the opponent was Ye Xiu, the difficulty was even greater.

"Little guy, look for another chance! Don't give that guy a chance to be arrogant!" Huang Shaotian gritted his teeth.

Ah, what a pity!

Lu Hanwen had only made six attacks before Ye Xiu snatched back the situation again, and of course, he was also very regretful in his heart. He was positive, he was optimistic, but he didn't forget his scars in the blink of an eye. As a professional player, scars couldn't be forgotten so easily. Each scar was a lesson, something that could help him grow. Lu Hanwen's personality wasn't about helping him forget the scars, but about letting him actively face the scars and never escape.

If only it could be like that, then maybe it would be better…

Lu Hanwen was growing up in this kind of "if only" scenario, constantly learning from mistakes, failures, and defeats. But this kind of growth wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. It wasn't that if he made a mistake once, he would be able to avoid it immediately next time. After all, with Lu Hanwen's current level, the mistakes he would make wouldn't be the kind of obvious errors. Sometimes, many details were things that happened unintentionally and required a long time to correct and change.

In two years, Lu Hanwen's growth was obvious. He was much more mature now than when he first entered the league, but the opponent in front of him...

Lu Hanwen took a deep breath.

When he entered the league, the great god in front of him had already become a legend, but he didn't expect that he could still meet him in the game. That summer, Lu Hanwen followed the Blue Brook Guild under Blue Rain to practice in the game. As a result, he collected a lot of painful failures that summer.

A very, very difficult opponent, perhaps even more difficult than Senior Shaotian.

Lu Hanwen had that feeling at that time, and at that time, it was only in the game, and the two of them didn't have much head-to-head confrontation. He only heard Lan He, the guild leader who brought him, say something about how this person stirred up trouble and profited from it in the game. Afterwards, the contact in the game confirmed Lan He's statement. Lu Hanwen clearly remembered that even he, who clearly represented Blue Brook Guild and opposed him, actually became that guy's helper in the process of robbing the Boss.

Too awesome!

Lu Hanwen could only sigh like this. In terms of technique, he could work hard to improve, but that kind of layout should be something on the strategic level, right? Just like their captain, Yu Wenzhou.

Lu Hanwen could regard Huang Shaotian as the goal he was chasing and even surpassing, but Captain Yu Wenzhou... forget it! How could he possibly do something like that? Lu Hanwen never thought that he had such a brain.

Through contacts in the game, Lu Hanwen had learned more about Ye Xiu's level in this regard, which had already amazed him. Afterwards, Happy entered the league, and this legendary great god returned to the professional arena. Then, he achieved a 37-round winning streak in the individual competition.

How can someone like this be defeated?

Whether it's brains or skills, he's still not as good as him, right?

Compared to Ye Xiu, Lu Hanwen could only come to such a conclusion with regret. He was very brave, he was fearless, but he didn't distinguish between the levels of strength. He just knew that even if he realized that there was a big gap between himself and Ye Xiu, he could still fight bravely against him.

There's still a gap!

Lu Hanwen knew this very well. As for whether this gap could be erased, Lu Hanwen wouldn't think too much about it. Victory or defeat wasn't determined by a gap. Lu Hanwen had such a thought in his heart, and most people from Blue Rain had such a thought in their hearts: the gap wasn't terrible, and the gap didn't necessarily determine everything!

Because they had a captain named Yu Wenzhou, and because their captain had a fatal flaw for professional players.

And Yu Wenzhou was using his deeds to tell the Blue Rain team members and the students in the Blue Rain training camp who were eager to become professional players: the gap wasn't terrible, what was terrible was giving up because of the gap.

"Even I haven't given up, what reason do you have to?"

Lu Hanwen still remembered what Yu Wenzhou said to the students in the training camp, even though he was very young, he could understand this not-so-deep principle. And Yu Wenzhou's story of coming out of the Blue Rain training camp was a vivid encouragement to all of them.

In the training camp, they wouldn't give up their ideals; on the field, they wouldn't give up victory.

They could see the gap, but they weren't afraid of the gap.

Let's continue like this!

Faced with the gap, Lu Hanwen's heart was firm. He wouldn't think too much about the result of winning or losing, he only knew that he had to do everything he could to the best of his ability.

These efforts weren't meaningless, because this was a team arena, and this was also a team project. The health that he had killed of Lord Grim and the mana that he had consumed of Lord Grim would all be received by his next teammates, and this would become a prelude for them to win.

So, let's fight to the fullest!

"Lu Hanwen is really good, although he was completely suppressed by Ye Xiu, he didn't retreat at all, and he wasn't discouraged," Li Yibo praised.

"He will definitely have a bright future," Pan Lin said with emotion.

Although the two were full of praise, now that they had talked to this point, they had talked about the future, and it was obvious that the two of them weren't optimistic about Lu Hanwen at the moment.

44%!

This was Lord Grim's remaining health when Lu Hanwen's Liu Yun fell. Blue Rain's two players had already taken the stage, but they had only taken a little more than half of Ye Xiu's health.

"Happy is already leading by two points," Pan Lin announced the current score.

"One-on-two, and in the playoffs... Ye Xiu really deserves to be the king of one-on-one in this season. With such a performance, those voices questioning that his winning streak in the regular season was because he didn't meet strong opponents should shut up. Ye Xiu has the ability to win with less consumption, but it's not necessary in the individual competition," Li Yibo said.

"But if he wants to one-on-three in this round, it seems a bit difficult. Lord Grim's mana consumption is much greater than his health," Pan Lin said.

"There's still 11% left now," Li Yibo said after checking.
