Chapter 1

Damo Guyan still maintained a punching posture, and it was under this punch that Fang Rui's Hai Wu Liang escaped.

Damo Guyan retracted his fist and turned around. His unchanging character expression, of course, never reflected Han Wenqing's emotions. But at this time, Han Wenqing's expression was indeed a bit heavy like this character...

Perhaps many people thought that punch just now was fine, but Han Wenqing knew better than anyone else that the punch was too slow.

This was not a mistake. Han Wenqing knew very well that this punch needed to be connected faster, but he was willing but powerless. If it was ten years ago, five years ago, this punch would have hit the opponent flawlessly, and no one could have dodged it. But now...

Some things really can't be done with effort alone. Now, in this kind of fast-paced battle, it is really difficult for him to maintain continuous stability, so just now he was slightly slower, and the gap appeared and was immediately captured by the opponent.

What quick reaction...

Han Wenqing sighed, even if he refused to give up, at every such moment, he had to feel his own decline.

Decline, but without hesitation.

Damo Guyan turned around and still faced Hai Wu Liang directly. Han Wenqing had already begun to brew the next wave of offensive.

Fang Rui finally allowed Hai Wu Liang to escape, and it seemed that he dared not easily go up to provoke him again. Hai Wu Liang swayed left and right on this side, constantly attracting the opponent's attention, waiting for the opportunity.

As a result, Damo Guyan actually took a step back.

Everyone was surprised.

No one would be surprised if Damo Guyan rushed up in any posture, even at an unreasonable time. Because that was Han Wenqing, going against the current and pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth—hadn't he done this kind of thing enough?

But he retreated...

He chose to retreat before the opponent showed any obvious aggressiveness. Perhaps he had noticed something, but retreating was not a means Han Wenqing would use to deal with problems.

As a result, Hai Wu Liang's swaying and jumping movement also suddenly stopped at this time.

What's going on? Everyone felt that the rhythm of the match had suddenly become a bit strange, and at this time, those who could still understand the meaning of it all had to be quite the experts.

"He's actually become so calm, it's really boring." Ye Xiu muttered on the sidelines at this time.

"What?" Chen Guo asked quickly, she needed an explanation.

"Fang Rui's Hai Wu Liang is swaying back and forth, showing an intention to attack and then repeatedly probing. In a duel between experts, it is necessary to judge various possibilities from any small action of the opponent. What Fang Rui is doing seems simple, but if he continues to stay at this stage, it is a great drain on Han Wenqing's attention," Ye Xiu explained.

"In other words, he wants to consume Han Wenqing?" Chen Guo said.

"Yes." Ye Xiu nodded, "But he probably didn't think about just swaying like this until Han Wenqing was dizzy. With Han Wenqing's consistent temperament, if he sees through the opponent's intentions, he will definitely use a tough way to stop it, so he is trying to induce Han Wenqing to continue launching a fast-paced offensive, but now, Han Wenqing simply retreated."

"What happens when he retreats?" Chen Guo asked.

"Retreating widens the field of vision, enlarges the space, and allows for a more comprehensive and overall observation of Hai Wu Liang's movements, which requires less attention," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh... then what if Fang Rui continues to let Hai Wu Liang step forward and sway?" Chen Guo said.

"Then just continue to retreat. Anyway, he won't be forced into any dead ends. Fang Rui's move is no longer valuable, and it would be too indecent to continue tossing it around," Ye Xiu was saying, but when he looked at the field, "Okay, I shouldn't have underestimated his bottom line."

Indecent?

Did the master of the Wretched Style ever care about such things?

Without much regard for decency, Fang Rui did it almost without hesitation. Just like Chen Guo said, Hai Wu Liang continued to sway and press forward, brandishing his claws like a crab.

Han Wenqing also retreated as Ye Xiu had said.

Those who understood the implications despised Fang Rui for being wretched and boring; those who didn't understand were confused, wondering if Hai Wu Liang's swaying was the starting pose of some killer move? To the point that Han Wenqing had to retreat constantly?

One advanced, and the other retreated. Damo Guyan retreated in an arc, ensuring that he would not retreat to the edge of the arena. Thus, as the two advanced and retreated, they each circled half a lap on the field in a short time.

"This guy really has patience now!" Ye Xiu exclaimed. If it were the former Han Wenqing, he would have had Damo Guyan beat the opponent to death with iron fists, right?

"What happens if they just keep circling like this?" Chen Guo asked at this time.

"The referee will intervene," Ye Xiu said.

"That guy isn't planning to keep circling until the referee takes action, is he?" Chen Guo said speechlessly. He finally understood why Fang Rui was not suitable to be the core of a team. He really had no image at all!

"He is challenging Han Wenqing's patience," Wei Chen said at this time.

Ye Xiu nodded. At this time, knowing that the other party could easily resolve it, but still continuing to insist on this intention was probably the reason. Fang Rui was using his own bottom line to torment Han Wenqing! Because it was very boring and indecent for him to continue pressing forward like this, but it wasn't much better for Han Wenqing to cooperate with him and retreat step by step. Fang Rui was responsible for 70% of this bottom line, but Han Wenqing was also cooperating and assisting him in brushing the remaining 30%. With Han Wenqing's temper, he should disdain this, so Fang Rui insisted on doing so in order to provoke Han Wenqing.

But now it seemed that Han Wenqing was also domineering enough when it came to brushing the bottom line. After brushing for half a circle, Damo Guyan's steps were still steady, and he still didn't seem to want to break the deadlock of the bottom line. This guy had really made up his mind to work with Fang Rui to lower the bottom line of this duel to the lowest level today?

The players who understood the match and understood Han Wenqing's mood at this time were very complicated. Had this most symbolic hot-blooded hero in the league also degenerated into being wretched and despicable?

After half a circle, and then another half a circle, the two characters walked around the arena together. The fast pace of a match within two minutes was finally broken in this match, but in such a way of brushing the bottom line, and with Han Wenqing's participation, this was something that no one had expected.

After this circle was completed, Fang Rui was still full of interest in brushing the bottom line without any psychological pressure. Hai Wu Liang continued to "elegantly" sway, looking like he wouldn't have any problem even if he turned another hundred circles. What about Han Wenqing? If he really followed Fang Rui and retreated for a hundred circles, then his life's reputation would really be ruined in this match. Everyone who watched and understood at this time really thought so.

What would happen next? Everyone's mood was very complicated. Finally, when the two started their second circle, the messenger of justice on the field—the referee—could no longer bear it.

"Please both sides adopt a correct attitude towards the match." The system message was released, but for the time being, it was just a warning.

"Haha." Fang Rui smiled and responded to the referee, and Hai Wu Liang's movements immediately paused slightly, and then Damo Guyan's fist swung in front of him.

"I curse you for being despicable!!!" Hai Wu Liang flew out, and Fang Rui frantically spammed messages. A yellow card lit up, and a pile of fists and feet continued to smash on Hai Wu Liang.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Fang Rui rarely had the opportunity to call others despicable. Most of the time, he was just showing his shamelessness. But this time, frankly speaking, everyone really felt that Fang Rui was right...

He actually launched an offensive at the moment when the referee issued the system message and Fang Rui responded and paused his actions.

Glory did not have a rule that both sides had to stop the match immediately when the referee made a sound, but when the referee spoke, it was definitely going to have a certain impact on the situation, and at this time, both players would definitely make some adjustments.

So Han Wenqing resolutely and decisively launched an extremely rapid attack at this time, and Fang Rui, who was "haha-ing" with the referee, was decisively hit.

This was definitely a wretched tactic, and Fang Rui had even used it at the beginning of this match. A message that echoed with Lin Jingyan off the field attempted to release the opponent's thoughts to the outside world, taking the opportunity to attack.

And now, Han Wenqing was borrowing the moment the referee made a ruling.

"Han Wenqing... um..." The commentator Pan Lin didn't know what to say.

"He is very experienced. He anticipated that the referee would definitely intervene in this situation, and at the same time, he realized that there would definitely be a change in rhythm at the moment of the referee's intervention, and he launched an attack at this one moment." This time, Li Yibo didn't hesitate at all, and immediately took over Pan Lin's words to explain very calmly, as if he hadn't noticed that this was actually a rather wretched sneak attack.

Li Yibo was also from Team Tyranny after all; Han Wenqing was also his captain. This time, Li Yibo truly developed the intention of bias and maintenance.

"Ah... yes, he is too experienced, he anticipated all of this..." Pan Lin subconsciously followed Li Yibo's lead.

"In this battle of patience, Han Wenqing is still better. Fang Rui's concentration is not focused enough. He is still 'haha-ing' with the referee. This superfluous behavior caused him to completely lose the initiative in rhythm." Li Yibo went all out today, praising Han Wenqing and then criticizing Fang Rui, but what he said was indeed completely understandable, but he intentionally downplayed the wretchedness in the match.

"Should... he have won it..." Pan Lin said, looking at the match situation.

The close-quarters combat of a grappler has a fast rhythm and strong stickiness, and it is common to fight to the death. Before, Han Wenqing let Fang Rui escape through a gap once, so what about this time? The strong attack launched when Fang Rui's attention was distracted gave him a very advantageous position. Fang Rui, who had been inducing Han Wenqing to attack, had been mentally prepared, but at the moment when the referee issued the message, he was indeed negligent. Because of the referee's warning, he thought that the planned plan had come to an end, but he never expected that Han Wenqing would launch the offensive he had been waiting for for a whole circle at the moment of this call to stop...

Whether it was wretched or not was never a matter of concern to Fang Rui. When cursing Han Wenqing for being despicable while eating a card, Fang Rui was actually feeling regretful about himself. He should have been more careful about this kind of despicable moment when a sneak attack could be launched. His wretched style was far from being wretched enough!
