Chapter 1 Zhan Lou Lan's Doubt

Zhan Lou Lan was finding it hard to believe what Ye Xiu was saying. Although he had heard Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang exchanging barbs, as someone preparing to enter the professional circle, he already had a certain understanding of it. These kinds of exchanges could be seen as a form of psychological warfare, so trash talk shouldn't be taken seriously.

But listening to Ye Xiu's tone now, it seemed like he was taking it all seriously. Did he really think they could rely on their numbers to defeat the main team of this powerhouse in the professional league?

Although Team Excellent Era's results this season didn't resemble those of a powerhouse at all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No team dared to declare victory against Excellent Era so readily. But now, this god who had spent his entire professional career in Excellent Era was very bluntly making such a claim.

"Hahahaha, really..."

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Gunshots rang out in quick succession.

Liu Hao was about to say a few words, but he didn't expect that Ye Xiu would finish speaking and not give him a chance to say anything, directly firing a shot at him. Liu Hao couldn't just stand there and take a shot while talking, so he hurriedly dodged. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu kept firing, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in Lord Grim's hand held straight, the muzzle spitting fire. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in gun form was classified as a rifle, but rifles in Glory were obviously not automatic rifles. The burst fire function was even worse than pistols, only two bullets per burst, but the range and power were stronger than pistols.

As a result, Lord Grim started shooting with his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and Liu Hao swallowed the rest of his sentence. Everyone was stunned, and after a long while, someone said, "It started just like that?"

"Get me out of here!" Sun Xiang shouted, somewhat exasperated. No matter how great he was, he couldn't break the rules of Glory, could he? The Bai Liu Zhan's Water Prison couldn't be broken from the inside, no matter what.

The Excellent Era players reacted, and He Ming's Elementalist raised his staff. Unexpectedly, Lord Grim, who had been shooting at Liu Hao's Spellblade, suddenly fired another shot at him. He Ming was a professional player, after all, and noticed this, so he quickly dodged. But the spell couldn't be cast in time. Liu Hao was not weak either. As soon as he got the chance, he swung his sword, and a stream of fire rolled out from the blade, sweeping across the ground. It was the Spellblade's Wave Sword skill, "Fiery Wave Sword."

There were four attributes in Glory: Fire, Ice, Light, and Dark. The Battle Mage's Magic Chaser, the Elementalist's spells, the Ghost Swordsman's Ghost Boundaries, and the Spellblade's Wave Sword and Wave Boundary, all skills with attributes fell into these four categories. Besides these, there were also attribute-less skills. Attribute skills had additional damage compared to attribute-less skills. By strengthening equipment with these attributes, the attribute damage could be further amplified. But similarly, there were also attribute resistance equipment that could weaken this type of damage. So, skills with attributes weren't necessarily stronger, and it depended on the specific situation.

Among the four attributes, there were also counter-attributes. Fire and Ice were a pair, and Light and Dark were a pair. Simply put, opposites counter each other, and similar attributes resist each other.

In other words, attacking Ice with Fire, or Fire with Ice, could increase damage. But attacking Fire with Fire, or Ice with Ice, would reduce the damage. The specific values would depend on the amount of attribute enhancement and resistance.

The Fiery Wave Sword that Liu Hao was using was the Wave Sword with the highest single output. The flames swept across the ground, attacking the Water Prison that was trapping Sun Xiang. Although the Water Prison was made of water, it belonged to the Ice attribute. Being hit by this sword would cause more damage than the output shown on the panel. However, this attack wouldn't directly destroy the Water Prison, but Liu Hao immediately released another Wave Sword.

The other two from Excellent Era weren't idle either. Shen Jian's Striker had no long-range output ability, so he found the nearest opponent and charged at him, which was Deception, who had trapped Sun Xiang with Bai Liu Zhan. As for Zhang Jiaxing, his Cleric was a support class. But the battle had just begun, and his teammates hadn't taken much damage yet, and the opponents didn't have any status effects on them, so healing and dispelling were useless, and he felt lonely.

On Ye Xiu's side, the Cleric, Qian Ye Li Ruo, saw that a real fight had broken out. Although she was as unconfident as Zhan Lou Lan and the others, she habitually got busy. Their side was full of injured soldiers. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had just taken a full Dragon Breaks the Army, and his health had decreased quite a bit.

"What are you all spacing out for? In the future, when you're on the professional stage, will you all be so listless when you encounter strong enemies?" Ye Xiu saw that his previous greeting didn't have much effect, so he shouted again.

This time, Zhan Lou Lan and the others finally woke up from their dream, feeling ashamed of their lack of confidence. Their strength was indeed inferior, but they couldn't lose their will to fight because of this. Having such a weak mentality, what professional match could they play?

"Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning!" Ye Xiu started giving commands.

"Where should I throw it?" Qian Fang Ge Hai hesitated slightly. This was a common problem for many newly formed teams. The commander's intentions couldn't be quickly understood. By the time he explained it in detail, the opportunity would have been missed. When a new person joined, there was a need for coordination. What was being coordinated? It was coordinating things like this.

Ye Xiu was still considered a newcomer in Zhan Lou Lan's team, but this newcomer was very important. He became the de facto commander in the team's battles. It was easy to bully those with weaker strength, because the arrangements were simple and easy to understand. But when they encountered a high-level battle, the enemies were difficult to deal with, and their own tactics became tricky. Qian Fang Ge Hai obviously didn't understand the purpose of using a Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning at this time. He had already prepared the spell, but he didn't know where to throw it for a moment.

"Throw it where there are people..." Ye Xiu didn't have time to say much. Although the operation didn't require speaking, the battle changed in an instant. This wasn't a single-player game where you could pause.

With a few words of exchange, Qian Fang Ge Hai finally threw out his Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, aiming at the place where the opponents were most concentrated. Ye Xiu then examined his thoughts. When commanding these people, he couldn't be too concise. He had to be clear and straightforward!

"If you can manually control the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, the Water Prison can be maintained for a little longer," Ye Xiu said, giving Qian Fang Ge Hai some pointers during the actual battle.

As soon as the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning were cast, the previous Water Prison was also within its range. Liu Hao temporarily didn't attack the Water Prison to avoid the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, but the Water Prison was broken by the attacks of the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning. The Water Prison, unlike its caster, didn't enjoy the treatment of damage immunity from teammates.

As soon as Sun Xiang broke free, the first person he wanted to find was Deception. But at this time, everyone was shrouded in Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, and it was difficult to distinguish people for a while. Sun Xiang finally decided to get out of the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning first. So, just like before, he quickly maneuvered through the skill with abnormal speed. Just as he was about to escape, a beam of light flashed in front of him, but it was definitely not the effect of Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning.

Zhan Lou Lan's Berserker was blocking in this position. This beam wasn't light, but a blood shadow. It was the Berserker's ultimate move, Rage Blood Berserker.

At this time, this move had reached its final stage. The blood blade formed by the sword's edge was already above the head of Sun Xiang's Battle Mage. No matter how strong and fast his control was, he couldn't break it at this time. He quickly rolled to the side. This wouldn't get him out of the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, and he would still get hit a few times. But in terms of damage, it was definitely lighter than being hit head-on by the Rage Blood Berserker's sword.

The blood blade landed and burst open, mixed with the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning. But Sun Xiang couldn't care about all this. Just as he dodged the blood blade, he saw a cold light blooming in front of him, and a feeling of being overwhelmed arose spontaneously.

Sun Xiang was very familiar with this effect.

This was the Battle Mage skill, Dragon Breaks the Army. It had been waiting for him here early on.

Dragon Breaks the Army was a linear attack, but it should be known that Battle Mages incorporated magic into their martial skills. Although this skill had no spell damage, it obviously had the effect of magic. The radiant light blooming from the spear tip amplified the range of this charge, just like how the Falling Flower Palm only released one palm, but it also had a circle of energy.

Dodging was too late. The charge of Dragon Breaks the Army covered the upper, middle, lower, left, and right areas. At this distance, jumping, crouching, rolling left, and rolling right were all useless.

Just then, the battle spear in the hand of Sun Xiang's Battle Mage was lifted slightly in a hurry. Only those with the best eyesight could see, in the environment of Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, that the spear tip of the Battle Mage was faintly glowing. But it was fleeting, because in this instant, Xiao Bei's Dragon Breaks the Army had charged in.

With a thunderous crash.

Xiao Bei, who thought he could break through with Dragon Breaks the Army, found that his Battle Mage had been sent flying backward.

How could this be!

Xiao Bei was full of surprise. Under such circumstances, he was still knocked back. What kind of control did the opponent use?

Hurriedly adjusting his perspective, Xiao Bei quickly saw that in the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, Sun Xiang's Battle Mage was also flying backward in the opposite direction, almost in the same posture as him.

This was...

Xiao Bei understood in an instant. In this critical moment, Sun Xiang had also completed a Dragon Breaks the Army. The two sides used the same skill to collide, resulting in the same outcome.

Amazing...

Xiao Bei admired him in his heart. He was able to complete this ultimate move under such circumstances. Xiao Bei admitted that he didn't have this level of control. In this way, although Sun Xiang couldn't avoid the damage, he didn't let Xiao Bei take advantage of him.

"What a pity." Ye Xiu spoke again at this time, "If the coordination was tighter, he wouldn't even have this chance."

In a series of steps, not only did Sun Xiang fail to rush out of the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning, but he was also injured and knocked back. This continuous series of attacks was, of course, the result of Ye Xiu's command.

At this time, Heavenly Fire and Earthly Lightning was not a damage skill, but a cover. Using the visual obstruction within the skill's range, it successfully inflicted a heavy blow on Sun Xiang, and the ones who personally did this were Zhan Lou Lan and Xiao Bei, who had an absolute gap in strength compared to Sun Xiang, and were just weeds in Sun Xiang's eyes.
