Chapter 150 Mapping, Magical Illusory Realm

Comparing, loading map, Magical Illusory Realm.

The world background of Glory as a game isn't very clear, what kind of world it's supposed to be. There are hot weapons, cold weapons, and magic. The Glory continent is compatible with too many things. So, whether this battle map is a Magical Illusory Realm or some kind of parking lot, they both exist.

The map that Fang Rui chose was a bizarre and motley little world conjured up with magic, one of his favored maps. Lin Jingyan would definitely be aware of this, but Fang Rui didn't need to abandon it because of that. He was skilled on many maps, and even if Lin Jingyan revealed them all to Tyranny, they wouldn't be able to guess which map Fang Rui would use for the match, let alone practice against every map. So map selection was the home-field advantage, and even if the opponent had some understanding, they simply couldn't make any targeted deployments.

The match began, and the characters at opposite corners began to move.

Song Qiying was a newcomer who had never appeared on the scene, with no information other than his age and class. Although he was only 17 years old, Fang Rui didn't dare to underestimate him. Han Wenqing will have played for a full ten years at the end of this season, and if his days aren't numbered in these next two years, then someone really ought to grab him and study him properly.

Tyranny needed newcomers to gradually rise in the ranks, there was no doubt about that. And Song Qiying's age was quite suitable. He could play in some matches now to gain practical experience and continue to grow, and in two or three years, he would be ready to take charge of the overall situation.

Although Tyranny had a history of misjudging talent, it was still impossible to let one's guard down against a player who was being cultivated as a core player. After the start of the match, Fang Rui adopted a low-key approach, advancing circuitously with tactical positioning.

The map contained various magical lights and shadows. These lights and shadows couldn't be destroyed, and touching some of them could even cause damage. Fang Rui knew the distribution of magic on this map like the back of his hand, but if a player was unfamiliar with the map, it would be extremely difficult to play.

In the three individual matches, the maps chosen by the three players from Happy were all quite distinctive. Su Mucheng chose a landscape map with destructible objects, Ye Xiu chose a ring map that was completely empty, and Fang Rui chose a magic map with nothing destructible.

After maneuvering around, Fang Rui, roughly near the center, began to peek outwards, but didn't find any trace of Long River Sunset.

He's also positioning tactically? Fang Rui was slightly surprised. This was Han Wenqing's successor. Although their playing styles would definitely be different, it would be easier to transition if they were relatively similar. If possible, a team would naturally hope that their familiar core style could continue to operate.

"Tactical positioning, eh? Got some personality!" Unable to see his opponent, Fang Rui began to launch trash talk attacks in the public channel.

As soon as the words came out, the audience looked at each other in dismay before the other party even replied.

Because they knew that Song Qiying hadn't adopted tactical positioning. He was heading towards the center of the map, but hadn't arrived yet, simply because he was moving so slowly.

Without any opponents or disturbances, Song Qiying operated Long River Sunset, moving along sluggishly. The electronic display screen showed Song Qiying's first-person perspective, and everyone could see that he was constantly rotating his view. If he was defending against an opponent, shouldn't he start from the very beginning? The opponent couldn't just teleport to any position on the map. It takes time to meet each other. But Song Qiying seemed to be on guard against something, and just kept walking slowly like that. Fang Rui's trash talk attack appeared, and everyone was anticipating how he would respond. But it was like a stone sinking into the sea; he didn't take the bait at all.

"What's wrong? Too embarrassed to speak? A newcomer so shy, this isn't like Tyranny's style at all!" Fang Rui continued to chatter.

"There's no need to answer if it's not necessary, it's a waste of time," Song Qiying replied abruptly at this moment.

"Haha, then why are you talking again? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have answered that sentence either, it's also a waste of time!" Fang Rui retorted.

"No, this is to explain my position to you. After that, meaningless words will not be answered, that is all," Song Qiying said.

"Really? Then what counts as meaningful words?" Fang Rui asked.

No answer.

"This question isn't meaningful? Discussing what is meaningful doesn't count as meaningful words, this is too ironic," Fang Rui was almost speaking a tongue twister, but still, there was no answer.

"This kid is very determined!" Fang Rui didn't give up.

"Really not talking?" Fang Rui said.

"Looks like I have to think of a meaningful question!" Fang Rui said.

"Um… have you had dinner yet?"

The audience was getting anxious. This Fang Rui was only concerned with spouting trash talk. Long River Sunset was already approaching his position, and was approaching circuitously. Fang Rui, who wanted to tactically position himself, was already being tactically approached by the other party, but he was still putting on a trash talk show. Wasting words while maintaining operations, do you think you're Huang Shaotian?

Charge Punch!

Long River Sunset finally maneuvered to a position that satisfied him. While Fang Rui was happily spewing trash talk, he suddenly thrust out a Charge Punch. Long River Sunset took a step forward, and in an instant, he was next to Sea, Boundless. His fist thrust out.

But Sea, Boundless seemed to have been prepared for this. With a roll, he avoided the Charge Punch with plenty of room to spare, and even typed two words in the channel: Hehe.

This guy!

The audience was speechless. It turned out that Fang Rui had already noticed Long River Sunset's movements, but deliberately didn't use it, continuing to use trash talk to pretend that his attention was on that, luring Long River Sunset to launch an attack proactively.

Missing the Charge Punch, Song Qiying knew that Fang Rui must have been aware of it. But at this time, the offensive had already been launched. Most people would probably follow up with two more moves to see the effect. But Song Qiying immediately took two steps back after missing the first strike. Not only did he not take advantage of the situation to attack, he instead adopted a defensive stance.

"Hey, little kid's a bit timid, aren't you? Didn't scare you, did I?" Fang Rui continued to chatter in the public channel, but in his heart, he was secretly taken aback. He knew that Song Qiying was maneuvering around to launch a surprise attack, and he had prepared for it. So he was ready to counterattack as soon as the other party missed the first strike and forcibly continued the attack. But Song Qiying immediately jumped back after missing the first strike, causing all his plans to come to naught.

Was this guy really timid, so it was a lucky hit, or did he see through my intentions? Fang Rui couldn't help but think. The two characters couldn't just maintain a distance of three body lengths and not move. Seeing his opponent retreat, Fang Rui finally decided to attack. Sea, Boundless threw a punch, starting with a low-level skill, Qi Emission Bullet. Attack and harass a little, and the subsequent offensive would follow.

But Long River Sunset didn't dodge or avoid this Qi Emission Bullet. He lowered his body, chest concave and back arched, left hand protecting his chest, right fist stopped at his waist. After completing the movement quickly, the posture immediately froze, like an absolutely still statue. At this time, Sea, Boundless's follow-up Qi Emission Bullet offensive had already arrived, but he immediately saw Long River Sunset not avoiding the Qi Emission Bullet, taking it head-on and putting on this pose.

"I'll go!" Fang Rui immediately knew what was about to happen and hurriedly wanted to adjust, but that right fist had already been extended.

An ordinary-looking punch, like a normal attack, but Fang Rui knew what would happen. The offensive that Sea, Boundless had prepared was instantly disintegrated in the face of this punch, showing the power of this punch's judgment. Then, the fist was printed on the front of Sea, Boundless's chest, and with a burst of energy, Sea, Boundless flew straight out.

Tyrant Fist! (Ba Huang Quan)

A punch that looked ordinary but actually contained great power.

"Damn kid!" Fang Rui, who often ambushes people, was actually ambushed by the other party, and was very indignant. But, was this attack of the other party's an ambush? A straightforward, thrown punch, was there any attack more unadorned than this?

As a result, this unadorned attack became the one that shattered Fang Rui's Sea, Boundless's offensive, which contained too many complex things like laying the groundwork, designing, harassing, and follow-up moves.

Power overcomes finesse.

Realizing this, Fang Rui calmed down. He should carefully circle around with this opponent and see clearly his every move.

Striker Long River Sunset, Qi Master Sea, Boundless, two classes of the same system fought together like this.

In the end, Fang Rui's strength was still higher, and he successfully killed Long River Sunset, but at this time, Sea, Boundless's health was already low, with only 14% remaining.

At the moment the match ended, Fang Rui let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been freed from a burden, feeling a little stuffy. This match wasn't easy to win.

After slightly reliving this match in the player booth, Fang Rui came out to prepare to leave the stage. Inadvertently, he saw that Song Qiying was standing in the center of the arena, looking towards him.

What's he doing? Standing in the middle of the arena, striking a pose for everyone to watch? Fang Rui wondered, continuing to step down. Suddenly, he saw Song Qiying quickly walking towards him.

"Is he looking for me?" Fang Rui wondered, stopping and waiting for Song Qiying to walk over, extending his right hand to him.

Fang Rui shook his hand in confusion, and then heard the sentence: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

"Mm." Fang Rui didn't say much. He thought Song Qiying should have something else to say.

As a result, there was nothing else. After saying this sentence, Song Qiying turned around and walked back.

Fang Rui was stunned. Coincidentally, the referee came over to check the player booth and casually said to the referee: "What's wrong with this kid?"

"What?"

"What did he run over here for?"

"Shaking hands to thank you, normal match etiquette," the referee said blandly.

Fang Rui was stunned. Indeed, it was customary to shake hands before and after the match as a matter of etiquette. But now everyone wasn't so particular. Generally, they would shake hands before the match to greet each other, and after the team competition, the teams would shake hands with each other, and that would be it. The individual matches or arena matches skipped the step of running over to shake hands after the match, but this kid insisted on coming over to shake hands with Fang Rui.

"Could it be that this match gave him a great inspiration?" Fang Rui pondered what profound moves he had made in this match. After returning to the player booth, he immediately couldn't wait to complain to Ye Xiu: "This kid is nothing like Han Wenqing at all."

"Yes," Ye Xiu nodded, "He's more like Zhang Xinjie."
