Dou Po Shan He!

Battlemage Level 75 ultimate move, unleashed fiercely from One Autumn Leaf. This attack was made while withstanding Lord Grim's attacks. One Autumn Leaf's powerful equipment played its part here. Lord Grim's attack, which should have caused a slight flinch, had no effect at all. Although it damaged One Autumn Leaf, it did not stop the activation of this ultimate move.

His character's stats have been figured out by this guy!

Ye Xiu understood in his heart. Lord Grim's full set of orange equipment meant that his stats were displayed directly, with no secrets. The only variable was the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hand. If it were a normal silver weapon, Sun Xiang would probably have figured out the effects of this weapon much earlier. However, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had many forms and different attributes, which took him some effort. But now, daring to use Dou Po Shan He while withstanding this attack showed that Sun Xiang was quite confident that Lord Grim's attack could not cause a judgmental blow to One Autumn Leaf.

As expected, although Lord Grim's attack caused damage, One Autumn Leaf stood firm. Dou Po Shan He was unleashed, the battle spear Evil Annihilation plunged straight into the ground, and then it was pulled up, sending a circle of waves rolling and spreading with One Autumn Leaf as the center. Compared to Qiu Fei's Combat Form's Dou Po Shan He earlier, this attack was even more powerful. The might of Battle God One Autumn Leaf was only just beginning to show.

Sun Xiang grasped the opportunity accurately, and his luck exploded. This attack of Evil Annihilation triggered the Collapsing Mountain effect, expanding the attack range of Dou Po Shan He by another circle. This was even more beneficial for such an ultimate move that already had a wide range of damage.

With such a large area covered, it was really difficult for Lord Grim to escape. He was lifted into the air along with the mud and rocks. However, this was only the beginning of Sun Xiang's attack. One Autumn Leaf took a step behind Lord Grim, and with a Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart, Evil Annihilation was swept into the air, stabbing straight at Lord Grim's back.

Sun Xiang's step moved him behind Lord Grim. This was a move that professional players would definitely make during continuous attacks if the conditions allowed. First, back attacks had damage bonuses, and second, attacks launched from behind were always more difficult to defend against. This kind of movement could barely be called the initial stage of Concealed Steps. However, the main purpose of Concealed Steps was to hide oneself to continuously attack the opponent, unlike this movement, which was so simple.

This Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart was extremely sharp. Such a sneak attack from behind would be impossible for anyone to defend against, but for Ye Xiu, he was too familiar with Battlemages. Without looking, just by listening, he knew that a Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart was coming from behind. Even in the earth-shattering sound effects of Dou Po Shan He, he could hear it clearly.

Without turning around, Lord Grim directly carried the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella on his shoulder, and then with a whoosh, the umbrella surface opened, using shield mode to take this Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart head-on. Apart from this, Ye Xiu didn't have a better way, because Sun Xiang's actions were too fast, and One Autumn Leaf's attack speed was too fierce. He didn't have time to perform more complicated operations.

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was a lightweight shield. Although it was good at resolving damage, it was too weak to withstand various judgment effects. After taking this Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart head-on, Lord Grim flew even higher.

Sun Xiang aimed at the landing point, manipulating One Autumn Leaf to go over, but he saw Lord Grim retract the umbrella surface of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella on his shoulder. After the umbrella ribs stretched and rotated, it directly turned into a mechanical rotor and was about to fly away.

Sun Xiang was not willing to give up. Although One Autumn Leaf didn't have this ability, Lord Grim couldn't keep flying in the sky. The mechanical rotor also had a skill duration. Moreover, the flying speed of this skill was not fast. One Autumn Leaf could steadily keep up on the ground.

Who knew that Lord Grim's flight was just a feint? After tricking Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf to rush out a few steps, a grenade quietly fell from the air.

"Hehe." Sun Xiang even typed a word with a cold smile emoji at this time. One Autumn Leaf turned around, and Evil Annihilation followed the trend, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, directly detonating the grenade in mid-air.

In the light of the explosion, Lord Grim instantly disappeared.

Not good!

Sun Xiang's heart tightened suddenly. Daring not to be negligent, he quickly moved to pull open his view. Three cannonballs had already fallen from the air. Using the cover of the explosion's fire, Lord Grim used a tank cannon's triangular shot, accurately enveloping him within.

Sun Xiang's powerful operation was also revealed at this time. With the three cannonballs locking down the angle, this guy actually manipulated One Autumn Leaf to sideslip, narrowly sliding out of the gap between the two cannonballs without any damage.

Beautiful operation! However, no one in the audience applauded at this time. The audience with the overhead view had already seen clearly that Lord Grim had already returned to the ground with a Shadow Clone Technique, and what about One Autumn Leaf? Under Sun Xiang's control, he was looking up, preparing to attack the falling fake body.

Blood splattered.

Without awareness, even the greatest experts couldn't avoid sneak attacks from assassins and ninjas, because they were completely silent.

Only then did Sun Xiang realize that he had been tricked. While One Autumn Leaf was rushing forward, he turned around and swept a large area with a single sweep, first forcing the opponent back. Who knew that when he turned around, he couldn't see Lord Grim's figure at all. There were only so many skills that could make a character disappear into thin air among the 24 classes. But... searching through all 24 classes, this search area was slightly larger. Sun Xiang's reaction was already considered fast, but it was still too late to go through his mind. When One Autumn Leaf jumped up and stabbed down with his spear, Lord Grim had already drilled out of the ground.

Subterranean Graveyard Slash!

He had also used it against Qiu Fei in the previous round. Based on this one glance's impression, Sun Xiang had already tried his best to respond accurately, but unfortunately, he was still a little slow. Ye Xiu, who acted first, seized the initiative. Lord Grim, who drilled out of the ground, flew past Evil Annihilation, which had stabbed down, and once again took away a string of blood flowers from One Autumn Leaf's neck.

Then, Falling Flower Palm.

Ye Xiu did not adopt the same method as when facing Qiu Fei, but simply used a Falling Flower Palm to blast One Autumn Leaf away. While Sun Xiang was observing and exploring Lord Grim's foundation, Ye Xiu was also studying this One Autumn Leaf, which was completely different to him.

Were these changes really all to suit Sun Xiang's style? In Ye Xiu's opinion, not entirely. Sun Xiang's Battlemage style was not unique, forming its own faction. He controlled this character, and Ye Xiu even saw many shadows of himself in it. In Ye Xiu's opinion, One Autumn Leaf's original silver equipment configuration had already reached its best. The new level cap did not revolutionize the class gameplay, so there was no need to change the basic equipment configuration. All that needed to be done was to improve the level and attributes.

But now, Ye Xiu sensed from One Autumn Leaf an escape from this kind of change in style. If it was just to cooperate with Sun Xiang, there was no need to make such a big change. So, what was the reason for making this change? Ye Xiu had roughly guessed it. Excellent Era wanted to give Ye Xiu an unfamiliar One Autumn Leaf to deal with. They didn't want Ye Xiu to have the upper hand because of his excessive familiarity with One Autumn Leaf.

They succeeded. This One Autumn Leaf was very unfamiliar to Ye Xiu. And what about Sun Xiang? Although he had enough time to adapt and break in, breaking in didn't mean it was suitable. The unrecognizable One Autumn Leaf not only made Ye Xiu lose the initiative of knowing himself and his enemy, but also compressed Sun Xiang's combat power.

This was a double-edged sword, but as far as the current situation was concerned, Ye Xiu was hurt more deeply. He had lost a great advantage.

And what about Excellent Era's wounds? If it only limited Sun Xiang's combat power, then currently, this wound was not big. Sun Xiang just didn't reach the best combat power he could achieve, but it wasn't to say that he wasn't strong enough now. If changing a character would make a player lose all their skill, then this professional player would be too weak.

The wound still needs to be torn bigger! But this is not easy to do.

Just knowing that Sun Xiang failed to reach his best combat power under such circumstances did not directly help with the victory or defeat. What really needed to be found was why he couldn't exert his full strength, what points were really limiting him, and this was the key to defeating this powerful opponent.

To find this weak point, the price to pay would inevitably be huge. This required personally trying Sun Xiang's various attack methods.

But now, Lord Grim's life was running out, and he was at a disadvantage. When he found this weak point, would he still have the ability to launch a fatal counterattack?

All of this was full of uncertainty, but Ye Xiu had decided to do so.

Because he could be sure of one thing, this was not an individual competition, but a擂台赛 (lěitáisài,擂台 is an elevated platform for martial arts duels). Even if he couldn't win, he could pave the way for the later players. The 擂台赛 was indeed a fight on the field, but it was also a competition between teams. Even if he couldn't win, he had to clearly hand over the chance of victory to the next player. This was the way the 擂台赛 should be played.

After the Falling Flower Palm, Ye Xiu manipulated Lord Grim to rush up without hesitation. At this time, he still occupied the initiative. If he had the opportunity to directly kill Sun Xiang, he wouldn't mind, but... Sun Xiang would obviously not be so polite to him. One Autumn Leaf's powerful character attributes reduced all of Lord Grim's attack effects by a certain amount. At this time, the knockback of the Falling Flower Palm was not as ideal as Ye Xiu had hoped. From this point of view, Excellent Era's transformation of One Autumn Leaf was successful. They disrupted the rhythm that Ye Xiu could have been very familiar with.

Evil Annihilation and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella collided again because of an attack parry. One Autumn Leaf's advantage in attack judgment was very obvious. Whenever there was such a collision, Ye Xiu had to do more operations to resolve it.

"The two sides are facing each other again. Ye Xiu is trying to play smarter, but Sun Xiang is sticking to him very tightly. It can be seen that Ye Xiu's stamina may have dropped a bit. In this duel, he seems to have given Sun Xiang a little more magic enchantments. At the beginning, he had been trying his best to control this point, but now... he seems to have been unable to suppress it..." Li Yibo observed the situation on the field at this time and felt that the balance of victory and defeat had tilted.

"But Ye Xiu also maintains the possibility of a casual counterattack," Pan Lin said.

"Yes, he is not flustered at all and is still playing very calmly. But I am more worried that if he continues to deplete like this, will Ye Xiu still have the energy to cope with the upcoming team competition? In this game, because of the gap in characters, it is obvious that Ye Xiu is consuming more to fight to such an equal level!" Li Yibo said.
