The arena was silent, the outside world was silent, inside and outside the TV, everything was silent.

Glory professional matches had been played for ten years, and it was not uncommon to use the terrain to create environmental damage on some distinctive maps. But this was definitely the first time someone like Huang Shaotian had cut down a tree himself and then pinned his own character under it.

As expected of Huang Shaotian! The audience thought. To be able to pull off something so comical in the playoffs, how skilled must he be?

At the scene, after a moment of stunned silence, applause erupted. Another climax of the individual competition had arrived unexpectedly, but this climax was mixed with laughter and cheers.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, applause.

Ha ha ha ha ha, laughter.

"Huang Shao, Huang Shao!" The Xingxin fans at the scene imitated the Blue Rain fans' shouts when Huang Shaotian performed amazingly, shouting rhythmically one after another. Such an opponent was truly lovable, and the Xingxin fans didn't mind giving him some applause and support.

The professional players on both sides of the arena looked at each other in dismay. No one from either Blue Rain or Xingxin had expected this scene. Even experienced masters like them only discovered what had happened through the final television replay.

"Mo Fan, well done!" Chen Guo beamed.

Other masters, such as Ye Xiu, were silently sweating. Putting themselves in Huang Shaotian's position, they realized that this scene could very well have happened to any of them.

"Huang Shaotian's mistake is really... uh... memorable!" After trying to phrase it for a long time, Pan Lin finally came up with a sentence, and the audience in front of the TV burst into laughter. Yes! Besides memorable, what could be a more fitting description?

"Unexpected!" Li Yibo immediately gave an equally fitting description, not wanting to be outdone.

"Yu Xiao's Troubles still has 10% health," Pan Lin finally remembered that this was actually a match.

"Deception has..." Li Yibo looked at Deception's health and choked, speechless.

When the two fought, Mo Fan initially launched a sneak attack and landed a series of hits, taking away 20% of Yu Xiao's Troubles' health. But then he was relentlessly pursued and attacked by Huang Shaotian, and then Yu Xiao's Troubles was pinned under the tree.

During this pursuit, Huang Shaotian hadn't had time to inflict continuous and stable damage on Deception, only managing to reduce Deception's health by 6%.

Ninety-four percent.

That was Deception's remaining health.

6%, for a 70% exchange.

A rookie player, and Huang Shaotian, who wielded the Sword Saint Yu Xiao's Troubles.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that the match between these two would turn out like this? Looking at the data alone, it was clear that Huang Shaotian had been completely crushed by Mo Fan. Only those who had actually watched the match knew how wronged Huang Shaotian was.

A large tree fell, and 50% of his health was gone...

Pan Lin and Li Yibo's health reports brought everyone back to the match.

The dust raised by the falling tree was still spreading, and the violent impact on the ground caused the leaves on the tree to tremble incessantly.

Where were the two characters?

Everyone quickly searched the scene.

With the help of the broadcast's special shot, the two characters were quickly located.

Yu Xiao's Troubles was pinned under the tree as it fell, the bloodstains all over his body seeming to explain how that 50% of health had been lost.

He struggled twice but couldn't move, obviously stuck under the tree. Then the sword light flashed, and Yu Xiao's Troubles twisted his upper body and began to slash wildly behind him.

Boom!

The tree trunk pressing down on him suddenly sank again, but Yu Xiao's Troubles rolled out from under it.

The audience watched the chat channel, wondering if Huang Shaotian was going to say something at this moment.

Actually paying attention to Huang Shaotian's trash talk was definitely an extremely rare sight in all these years.

But Huang Shaotian just didn't want to do what people wanted. When everyone was annoyed, he kept talking; now that everyone was expecting him to say a few words, he shut up.

Okay! The audience was also understanding. Huang Shaotian had lost 50% of his health, but they thought it was hilarious and interesting, but for Huang Shaotian, he was probably furious and wanted to go crazy, right? For the entire Blue Rain team, this was even more tragic. Their ace player had inexplicably lost 50% of his health, making this individual competition even more unfavorable for Blue Rain.

Yu Xiao's Troubles, who had crawled out from under the tree, also became more cautious. With only 10% health left, Huang Shaotian clearly wasn't planning to give up. Yu Xiao's Troubles had plenty of mana left, ensuring his combat power. He would guard this 10% of health very carefully.

Where was his opponent?

Huang Shaotian's view kept rotating, searching for Deception's figure.

Where was Deception?

Not only Huang Shaotian was looking, everyone was looking. Even the audience with their God's-eye view couldn't find where Deception was. The broadcast switched to Mo Fan's first-person perspective, showing a scene of lush foliage with only a few small gaps.

Mo Fan had wanted to take the opportunity to finish off Yu Xiao's Troubles, but he didn't expect him to escape so quickly. Unable to find a suitable opportunity to attack, he took advantage of the still-rolling smoke and dust, using the cover of the fallen tree to hide behind the dense branches and leaves.

Huang Shaotian was already in such a miserable state, but he didn't show the slightest bit of mercy and was still carefully preparing to sneak attack.

With the help of the television broadcast, all the viewers quickly locked onto Deception's location, while Yu Xiao's Troubles didn't dare to move easily, just standing in place, carefully observing.

Finally, all the smoke and dust dissipated, and the trembling branches and leaves gradually returned to calm. Yu Xiao's Troubles jumped onto the tree and continued to carefully rotate his view, observing everything around him.

Pfft!

A soft sound. Huang Shaotian keenly turned his view towards the source of the sound, and Yu Xiao's Troubles dashed out.

As a result, purple smoke instantly billowed up from under the branches and leaves.

Ninja tool? Smoke bomb!

With only 10% health left, Huang Shaotian really couldn't be reckless. Seeing this unpredictable situation, he chose to retreat, retreating far away from the area covered by the smoke bomb, waiting for the purple smoke to completely disappear. Only then did he step forward again, his view already locked onto one spot.

Just now, while retreating to the side, Huang Shaotian wasn't just waiting for the smoke to dissipate. He carefully observed the flow of the purple smoke, trying to capture Deception's movements. Because he guessed that Mo Fan would definitely use the cover of the smoke to reposition himself. And now, through the details he had captured through observation, he had locked onto Deception's current hiding place.

Hidden well enough.

Huang Shaotian thought, looking at the dense foliage. Although he still couldn't see Deception's figure, he could already be sure that he was within that area.

Yu Xiao's Troubles continued to move carefully, step by step, slowly walking forward. He didn't show a clear attacking intention, because he didn't want his opponent to realize that he had noticed something.

Just like that, Yu Xiao's Troubles walked into Deception's attack range.

Still not moving?

Huang Shaotian had been focusing intently on that end. Yu Xiao's Troubles had already walked to a position where the opponent could fully attack. This guy, wasn't he satisfied yet?

Too greedy, right?

Huang Shaotian was helpless. Because he was very clear about the mentality of a patient hunter, he himself was such a person.

The opening he had sold was enough for the opponent to turn the tables on him, but it was clear that this level of enticement wasn't enough to move him.

Okay! Let me see how far your patience will go. Huang Shaotian thought, and Yu Xiao's Troubles took another step forward.

Still not moving.

Another step, still not moving.

Huang Shaotian was starting to get a headache.

He had experienced Mo Fan's skills, and his burst of power in an instant was astonishing. Although he couldn't sustain this burst, Yu Xiao's Troubles only had 10% health left, and Mo Fan's brief burst was enough.

If he got any closer, it wouldn't be easy to take the initiative after letting the opponent attack first and then counterattack.

"He can't move forward any further!" Li Yibo had already shouted. With their God's-eye view, they were fully aware of the current situation between the two, so they could also speculate on Huang Shaotian's intentions more clearly. After his previous analysis, everyone now agreed with Li Yibo's view: he couldn't move forward any further.

But Huang Shaotian, stubbornly made Yu Xiao's Troubles take another step forward.

This was perseverance, courage, and even more so, a kind of confidence.

A confidence in being able to seize an opportunity even when the chances were slim!

Deception charged out!

This was indeed the best opportunity for him. The opportunities before this were actually not bad, but he stubbornly didn't take the bait and waited until the best opportunity arrived.

The patience cultivated from scavenging was never inferior to anyone.

"Well done!" Huang Shaotian actually sent out a message at this extremely crucial moment.

Windstorm Shuriken!

Several shurikens transformed into cold light and flew out. Under the cover, Deception quickly formed a seal, Shadow Clone Technique!

Yu Xiao's Troubles, Sword Draws the World! (Jian Ding Tian Xia)

Huang Shaotian didn't have the slightest doubt or hesitation because he didn't get any advantage from using this skill in the previous match. When it was time to use it, he still trusted his judgment and used it without hesitation.

Swoosh!

The sword aura formed a ring that spread in all directions. Deception, who had flashed behind Yu Xiao's Troubles with the Shadow Clone Technique, was immediately swept by the sword aura.

Stun!

The damage from Sword Draws the World wasn't particularly outstanding, but the stun effect after being hit was very significant.

Yu Xiao's Troubles turned halfway around, Rising Dragon Slash!

Deception was sent flying into the air. Following a Rising Dragon Slash with a Falling Phoenix Slash was a common combo, but Huang Shaotian insisted on playing it complicated this time. He used a Reversal Stab in the air, then Guiding the Way, and immediately followed it with a Falling Phoenix Slash before Deception could be blown away.

The sword pressed down on Deception as he fell rapidly. Although it dealt more damage, the high-difficulty operation could easily lead to a break in the attack if he wasn't careful.

But at this time, everyone could see Huang Shaotian's intention in taking this risk. By continuously using skills in the air, the character's descent was slowed down slightly. It was because of this slight delay that all the Windstorm Shurikens that Deception had thrown passed under Yu Xiao's Troubles.
