Chapter 194 Washing Up and Sleeping

Washing up and sleeping were, of course, just a joke. If Ye Xiu really wanted to wash up and sleep, he wouldn’t have come on stage again.

The match had already been confirmed to have begun, but Huang Shaotian still suspected that this guy would shamelessly disregard the game’s system and, after starting, decisively quit. So he hastily stabbed out with his sword, wanting to hit him as much as possible while he could.

The public channel had been opened by the room’s owner, Zhan Lou Lan, but after Ye Xiu’s joke about “washing up and sleeping,” this time, no one responded or stirred things up. Everyone’s gaze, along with Huang Shaotian’s sword thrust, was completely focused on the arena.

Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim jumped to dodge, and with a backhand, he launched an attack. The Thousand Chance Umbrella that stabbed out seemed to be only the length of a sword, but suddenly it flipped open, transforming into a battle spear.

Huang Shaotian hadn’t even done anything yet, but the surrounding pro players all gasped.

They had more or less heard something about the silver weapon in Lord Grim’s hands. The information came, of course, from the tenth server’s guild branches. But there, there weren’t any opponents who needed the great god to fight all-out. So, no one really knew how accurate the information they had about this silver weapon was.

The Thousand Chance Umbrella’s greatest characteristic was, of course, its transformation. This unprecedented function attracted everyone’s attention, and as for the silver weapon’s specific attributes, everyone wasn’t too concerned. Right now, everyone really wanted to know how the weapon transformed, how fast it transformed, and whether there was a cooldown. The various guilds were exploring this information, but there was still no definite answer.

And now, under the eyes of these pro players, the Thousand Chance Umbrella had finally completed a true transformation. Everyone who saw it, their first impression was: So fast!

From umbrella to spear, it was only an instant. This sudden lengthening of the weapon could be regarded as a terrifying skill. Huang Shaotian had just dodged, but how many in the alliance had Huang Shaotian’s reaction speed and skill?

“If you don’t understand this weapon, you’ll definitely suffer a loss!”

In just that one moment, everyone had this thought in their hearts.

In the arena, Huang Shaotian dodged this attack, and even though he had an opportunity, he didn’t try to attack. Obviously, he was more curious about this unspecialized and this Thousand Chance Umbrella, and he wanted to see what kind of tricks it could use. So he wasn’t anxious, not anxious at all.

So, for the next two minutes, he saw Lord Grim wielding the battle spear and using the Battle Mage’s five low-level skills over and over again. A few times, all the skills were on cooldown, and if he didn’t change, he would be passively beaten. But this guy stubbornly waited.

“Did this thing of yours break?” Huang Shaotian couldn’t help but ask.

The answer he received was a Palm Outward.

Huang Shaotian jumped away. “Talk!”

Dragon Tooth, a strike.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!” Huang Shaotian shouted directly.

Sky Strike!

“This guy definitely took off his headset!” Huang Shaotian thought, gnashing his teeth. But listening for sounds was a very important part for pro players. The strength of the sound could be used to judge the distance of the target. This could be done in Glory. Voice chat was prohibited in the pro league, partly because of these reasons.

After another minute of fighting, Ye Xiu was still using the battle spear, and the audience was starting to get bored. Huang Shaotian was even more unbearable. Was this guy clearly unwilling to show his strength to everyone? If he was just swinging the spear like this, and it was still with a Battle Mage below level 20, then it really wasn’t interesting at all.

Huang Shaotian thought, muttering and cursing under his breath. Although he suspected that Ye Xiu wasn’t wearing a headset, he also had to suspect that this guy was actually listening but pretending not to hear in order to make him give up his sonic assault.

Huang Shaotian was very calm. Anyway, he was used to talking while fighting. So, while chattering non-stop, his attacks became faster and faster.

Rising Strike!

The sword light drew a beautiful semicircle arc, but under the continuous pursuit, this time Ye Xiu finally couldn’t avoid it and was sent flying into the air by a sword.

Pro players, creating an opportunity to float someone in the air, if they didn’t go up and chase them down for a few hits, they would be too embarrassed to greet people.

Huang Shaotian, a great god like him, especially wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. Troubling Rain rushed forward in one step, and a sword slashed straight down, looking like it was going to cut Lord Grim directly in half.

Bang!

They didn’t see the flash of gunfire, but they heard the sound of the gunshot.

Huang Shaotian’s reaction was worthy of his title as a great god. As soon as he heard this sound, he immediately began to dodge. However, without seeing the flash of gunfire, it was difficult to tell which direction the gun was firing from based on the sound alone. Huang Shaotian’s dodge could only rely on luck.

With a soft sound, the gun hit, and a small cluster of blood flowers flew up symbolically. In reality, one shot could take a life, but in the game, an ordinary shot had damage so low that it didn’t need to be taken seriously.

However, Huang Shaotian was still a little depressed, because his luck was really bad. Judging from the position where this shot hit, if he had been foolish enough not to hear this shot, he might not have been hit.

Too good of awareness became his loophole at this moment. The other side’s shot, right from the start, attacked one of the directions that Huang Shaotian might have dodged to. As a result, Huang Shaotian just happened to choose this side, so it was the same as sending himself onto the bullet.

However, Huang Shaotian was happy. Because the Thousand Chance Umbrella seemed to have finally started to activate its second function.

Bang, bang, bang!

A series of gunshots. The gun form of the Thousand Chance Umbrella was a rifle. A wave of attacks varied depending on the weapon. Either two shots or three shots. Unlike revolvers or automatic pistols, which fired several bullets in one wave.

The sound rhythm of the Thousand Chance Umbrella clearly indicated that it was a two-shot rifle.

At this time, Ye Xiu, while having Lord Grim shoot, was also backpedaling and kiting Huang Shaotian with Fly Gun.

“Too naive, right?” In Huang Shaotian’s eyes, this was simply a kindergarten-level trick. Trying to succeed against a great god like him, wasn’t that taking him too lightly?

Huang Shaotian aimed at Lord Grim’s movements, and after a few bullets flashed by, he suddenly cut out with a Triple Slash to clear the way.

In one go, a three-stage continuous slash, Huang Shaotian even completed a change of perspective, dodging the incoming bullets.

Then, a sword light flashed out.

Low-level skill, Draw Sword. Fast to execute, with a wide attack range, it was a very useful skill that any expert wouldn’t bear to abandon.

Huang Shaotian’s Triple Slash closed the distance. With this sword, he calculated that the opponent would definitely be within the attack range no matter what, and there was nowhere to hide.

So Ye Xiu didn’t dodge. In the smoking gun stock of the rifle, he suddenly drew out a katana. He blocked the slash horizontally with his sword. Following that, he waved his hand back, also returning a Draw Sword that was exactly the same.

Other skills were fine, but Huang Shaotian felt that if he were injured by a Swordsman skill, it would be a super embarrassing thing. So, as soon as he saw Ye Xiu use a Swordsman skill, Huang Shaotian couldn’t help but become super serious. Ye Xiu had used a block to defuse this move before. Huang Shaotian felt that he should perform even better, not keep messing around with skills below level 20 like this little unspecialized.

So, facing this Draw Sword, Huang Shaotian executed a dashing and domineering Rising Dragon Slash. Troubling Rain soared like a firework, suddenly rising up, naturally avoiding the Draw Sword perfectly. Following that, Rising Dragon Slash transitioned into Falling Phoenix Slash, slashing down with a reverse sword right at the head.

Lord Grim was immediately split in half, causing Huang Shaotian to be stunned on the spot.

Shadow Clone Technique!

The experienced god instantly judged it.

But why didn’t he notice it beforehand? Because the handsome Falling Phoenix Slash had a half-body spin when it was used. For that short moment, the camera couldn’t see the target.

So, in that instant, Lord Grim left a Shadow Clone for him.

The real body?

Huang Shaotian had an extremely ominous premonition. Without hesitation, he immediately executed a Silver Light Falling Blade. Troubling Rain fell like a meteor towards the ground. Without stopping, he did a somersault in one go, and only then did he turn his camera back behind him. As expected, he saw Lord Grim falling from the sky, with dust rising from the force of his jump under his feet, landing gracefully.

A row of clapping emoticons in the public channel. That moment was indeed wonderful.

Only a veteran god like Ye Xiu could grasp the brief blind spot in the camera angle during Falling Phoenix Slash’s half-body twist and perform an operation without the opponent knowing.

Only a quick-witted god like Huang Shaotian could react so quickly and execute the Silver Light Falling Blade so quickly after realizing something was wrong. This was how he prevented the Shadow Clone behind him and above him from being Eagle Stomped by Lord Grim.

Ye Xiu’s operation was clear to the person in the game. Someone not in the game might not realize that Ye Xiu had completed the Shadow Clone Technique at a moment when there was a blind spot in the camera angle.

Huang Shaotian’s operation was clear to the bystanders, because although Huang Shaotian in the game made this judgment, he didn’t actually know what Lord Grim was doing behind and above him.

As expected, it was a peak showdown between gods. These two had brought out their real skills.

The pro players were super excited.

As a result, they heard a “boom” in the arena. The sound wasn’t too loud, but it was obviously a small explosion.

Where was the explosion?

It was on Huang Shaotian. Huang Shaotian was at a loss, and the audience was also at a loss. Only players of the corresponding class instantly judged what this familiar skill was: “It’s a Mechanical Tracker!”

Mechanical Tracker was just a level 5 skill for Mechanic. It released a self-destructing little robot that walked on the ground and searched for targets.

This skill was, of course, within the scope of what an unspecialized could learn, but when did this guy use a Mechanical Tracker on the ground? Under everyone’s eyes, no one noticed?

To find the truth of this matter, they could only study the replay later. But now, after the Mechanical Tracker exploded on Troubling Rain, Lord Grim immediately began to attack. The grenade he threw out seemed to have flown out as soon as he landed. This wouldn’t have been a threat, but after this Mechanical Tracker chased down Troubling Rain, everything became different.
