Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1429 Immense Pressure

Su Mucheng, Zheng Xuan.

As players from the same period, although one was a member of the Golden Generation and the other was a character somewhat forgotten under the brilliance of the Golden Generation, they were still familiar with each other.

So, from the very beginning of the match, Su Mucheng already knew what the first words Zheng Xuan would say in the channel would be.

"The pressure is immense!" she said preemptively.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Zheng Xuan was unhappy. How could she steal his lines like that!

"Helping you say it!" Su Mucheng replied.

"Sigh, even my lines are being stolen. The pressure is immense!" Zheng Xuan still said it in the end.

"The bigger ones are yet to come!" Su Mucheng said as Dancing Rain charged out.

No detours, no hiding, charging straight out from the front.

"As expected!" Pan Lin and Li Yibo both exclaimed.

They had already chatted during the player exchange. Blue Rain only had one person left, and at this time, Happy didn't need to be overly cautious. Taking this round with boldness and entering the team competition with surging morale was undoubtedly the best choice. Now it seemed that Su Mucheng was going to do just that.

"Won't it be like Mo Fan again?" Pan Lin, after saying "as expected," suddenly felt a little worried. In the previous round, Mo Fan had also made Deception rush forward boldly like this, but then he slipped away when he met his opponent.

"Uh, it shouldn't... right?" Li Yibo hesitated upon hearing this. Logically, Su Mucheng wasn't a stranger, and they were quite clear about her style. But now that she had joined Happy, it seemed like she was also covered in a layer of unfathomable light. Ye Xiu and Fang Rui, these old faces, had changed their professions, so it was reasonable to be surprised. But this Su Mucheng, her profession hadn't changed, her style hadn't changed, and many of her tactics were directly inherited from the Excellent Era side. Why did it feel like she was different too?

"Well, let's watch and see." Li Yibo said steadily, not daring to make a hasty judgment.

As a result, this time, Zheng Xuan's Sharpshooter, Gun Rain, hid as soon as he appeared.

"Is Zheng Xuan going to play it dirty?" Pan Lin said. Playing dirty is a style, a school of thought. It exists as a choice in combat methods. As a professional player, it's just a matter of whether you like it or not, whether you like to use it or not. If you say you can't do it, then you're not professional enough. Zheng Xuan, a veteran who has been around for seven years, certainly knows how to play it dirty.

"Holding the fort, naturally, you have to deal with it carefully," Li Yibo said.

Zheng Xuan, this last player, still had to face three opponents.

Su Mucheng was the first, who would be next? Who could be more dirty-playing than Fang Rui? That tiger-like girl Tang Rou? A miscellaneous rogue player? Or perhaps their Blue Rain's old senior, Wei Chen?

Zheng Xuan didn't know Wei Chen. He had joined the Blue Rain training camp in the third season, and Wei Chen had already retired and left at that time. Zheng Xuan had heard some stories about this old senior. Huang Shaotian was discovered by him in the game and brought back. Yu Wenzhou inherited the account Soaring Sword, which originally belonged to him... Every event at the beginning of Blue Rain's founding was inseparable from his name. In their Blue Brook Guild in the game, his name was also forever recorded in the founder's column: Soaring Sword.

Yes, Soaring Sword.

Wei Chen's Soaring Sword was not Yu Wenzhou's Soaring Sword.

As a result, this old senior, after retiring and leaving for seven years, suddenly returned to this arena.

Initially, he attracted a lot of attention, but his comeback was not like Ye Xiu's. He was not the protagonist on the field, and he had very few opportunities to play, so he gradually lost the spotlight.

Only the Blue Rain team would pay attention to their old captain, their old senior.

Will he play?

Zheng Xuan thought, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

Damn it, daydreaming again!

In such a critical match, Zheng Xuan's mind actually wandered. Gun Rain subconsciously took a big step forward. Now that he reacted, he quickly observed the surrounding terrain.

"What's that guy... thinking about again?" Huang Shaotian, watching Zheng Xuan's match from outside the arena, said. He was too familiar with this guy.

"Lack of fighting spirit is always his biggest problem," Yu Wenzhou said with emotion.

"Even putting him in the last position can't help him fully concentrate," Huang Shaotian said.

"If only he had the same fighting spirit as Yu Feng," Yu Wenzhou said.

"In that case... he would have left long ago, right?" Huang Shaotian said. Hundred Blossoms had approached Zheng Xuan that summer, and Blue Rain knew about it.

"Yes... so, there's really no way," Yu Wenzhou said helplessly.

"It would be great if he could be in the middle with Yu Feng," Huang Shaotian said.

"What would happen then? Would we have a Dazzling Hundred Blossoms in our team?" Yu Wenzhou said. The Golden Generation players were also deeply affected by Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. The third and fourth seasons were the peak of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. The Golden Generation had all experienced the baptism of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms.

"Who knows!" Huang Shaotian said.

This kind of meaningless "what if" is the most melancholic thing.

Yu Feng left because he was too active, too goal-oriented, and too full of fighting spirit.

Zheng Xuan stayed because he was too inactive and too lacking in fighting spirit. Staying was good, but the lack of fighting spirit became a limitation on his strength. Zheng Xuan had talent and ability, but because he lacked fighting spirit and had no ambition, his talent and ability could never be fully realized.

His achievements should not have stopped there.

This was a comment that many people had made about Zheng Xuan. He had heard it all, but he was never able to cheer up. Even in the playoffs, he could still be distracted in the last position. This was only Blue Rain. If it were a strict team like Tiny Herb, Zheng Xuan would probably have been kicked out long ago.

Blue Rain was a strange team. It could accommodate all kinds of strange players. Huang Shaotian, a talkative opportunist; Yu Wenzhou, a tactical master with unqualified hand speed; Song Xiao, a key player who only exerted his strength in the playoffs; Lu Hanwen, a surging teenager who dared to fight and kill at the age of 14; and Yu Feng, who had already left, a perfectionist who was not happy even with a championship and insisted on winning a championship with himself as the core; Lin Feng, who went to Wind Howl, was also an unconventional combat Thief among professional Thieves. And then there was Zheng Xuan, a lack of fighting spirit... an esports player.

Blue Rain was a concentration camp for such distinctive players, and each player seemed to be able to find a suitable position for themselves here.

Someone had once made a hypothesis.

What if Huang Shaotian didn't type and concentrated all his hand speed on operations?

What if Yu Wenzhou's hand speed met the standard or even reached a higher level?

What if Song Xiao could be as excellent in the regular season as he was in the playoffs?

What if Yu Feng hadn't left in pursuit of perfection?

What if Zheng Xuan was a player with a high fighting spirit who always went all out?

How strong would such a Blue Rain be?

Blue Rain was such a team full of flawed beauty, but on the professional field, they were as determined to move forward as any other team. At this time, Zheng Xuan, who lacked fighting spirit, became their key to holding the last position in the individual competition. Waiting for him were three opponents, among whom there might be two All-Stars and the best newcomer of this season, and so on.

The road ahead was full of thorns, just like Zheng Xuan's catchphrase, the pressure was immense.

But even though he said so, he faced the pressure head-on. He lacked fighting spirit, but he was also trying to cheer himself up.

Gun Rain went around the flanks. The ambush points on both sides, from the time he appeared, had been completely seen through by Blue Rain. Zheng Xuan seemed to be playing in his home map, skillfully finding a position suitable for him to launch a sneak attack.

Then he gradually heard footsteps. Dancing Rain began to approach.

Thinking about how after winning this one, there was another one, and after finishing the next one, there would be another one...

Headache!

Zheng Xuan bared his teeth.

"The pressure is really immense!" He muttered again, and Gun Rain began to attack!

"The pressure is really immense!"

When Zheng Xuan recited his catchphrase for the last time, his Gun Rain had fallen. At this time, the opponent he was facing was not Su Mucheng and her Dancing Rain, but Fang Rui and his Boundless Sea.

Zheng Xuan won a round.

With all his strength, he defeated Su Mucheng.

But then, he still failed to defeat Fang Rui.

The individual competition ended, and Happy was finally leading 5 to 3, with a 2-point advantage in the number of remaining players, entering the subsequent team competition.

"Taking down two opponents was really my limit, I couldn't continue." After coming off the stage, Zheng Xuan spread his hands to his teammates.

"Taking down two..." Huang Shaotian's mouth twitched twice. "Are you really embarrassed to count Deception as one of the opponents you took down?"

"I didn't count it, the rules counted it," Zheng Xuan said with confidence.

"Alright, this result is not unacceptable," Yu Wenzhou said calmly.

In the team competition, the extreme of a single person remaining alive and the final situation of two people remaining alive were not much different. Usually, after both sides have consumed their sixth player, the side that gains the advantage in numbers often takes the final victory in one fell swoop. In the team competition, the victory of three or four players remaining is the most common, and even the final situation of five players remaining is more common than only two players remaining. These were all statistics that each team had specially compiled after the new playoff system came out, with data as the basis.

However, because it is now established as a league system, what needs to be considered is whether the other side will adopt a play style that makes full use of this advantage after having a 2-point lead.

This tactical thinking was never present before. It has only been experienced in the playoffs of the previous season, and there are currently no examples that can be taken out. All parties can only speculate based on experience.

Now, the playoffs give more rest time between the individual competition and the team competition, which seems to be precisely for each team to formulate team competition strategies based on the results of the individual competition.

What will Happy do?
