Flame Burst!

It was a very low-level skill for an elemental mage, so Jiang You naturally didn't take it seriously. He easily dodged to the side, ready to have You Fengdian retaliate. But then he saw that the mage called Fenyanjing had already jumped down from the stone pillar.

He was still going to fight even after jumping down!

Jiang You didn't hesitate, casting a spell, ready to aim it at Fenyanjing, when suddenly he heard a loud boom, and a pillar of fire rose into the sky within his view. Elemental mage skill: Flame Impact.

The spell wasn't attacking You Fengdian, so Jiang You didn't need to bother dodging, but this Flame Impact caused him to lose his target. The pillar of fire rose, enveloping Fenyanjing, not even a shred of clothing visible. Jiang You had already moved his cursor there, but now didn't know what to click.

However, Fenyanjing was still falling, so Jiang You guessed based on experience and clicked, launching the spell he had just chanted.

Elemental mage skill: Lightning Penetration!

A bolt of lightning shot out from the top of You Fengdian's staff, crackling and flashing. It didn't seem to travel in a straight line, but it instantly pierced the pillar of fire from Flame Impact and struck the stone pillar behind it.

It missed!

Just as the thought arose in Jiang You's mind, he suddenly felt that something seemed off in his field of view. Around You Fengdian, the air seemed to shimmer with subtle electric sparks, as if Lightning Penetration had just passed through. Underneath his feet, the color of the earth seemed to be deepening, and it looked a little blurry, as if there was some steam in between.

Damn it!

Experienced as he was, Jiang You knew what was happening. He immediately tried to use Instant Movement, but...

The spell was ineffective.

All of You Fengdian's skill icons were grayed out at this moment. Below the health and mana bars, a symbol for an abnormal status appeared.

Elemental mage dark系 (xi) skill: Magical Imprisonment.

Interrupts the chanting of all spells, preventing spellcasters from using any spells for 4 seconds.

4 seconds sounded short, but at this moment, Jiang You knew that 1 second would be enough.

Lightning and fire instantly surrounded You Fengdian.

Elemental mage ultimate: Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire. Jiang You had already seen the signs of the spell's imminent eruption, but he still couldn't dodge it, because the opponent had prepared in advance, sealing all his spells with Magical Imprisonment. It was impossible to dodge Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire with just his legs after realizing what was happening.

Under the damage of light and fire spells, Jiang You saw through the shadows that the pillar of fire from Flame Impact had disappeared. Fenyanjing stood steadily on the ground, but the staff in his hand was still pointed accurately at him in the midst of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire.

This was an expert! A super expert!

Jiang You had that much insight, especially since it was his own most familiar class. This opponent had actually completed two spells in the short time he was falling.

Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire, Magical Imprisonment...

No, perhaps it was three spells, including that Flame Impact!

Casting spells while jumping wasn't anything new. As long as a character had the Mobile Casting status, the chanting of any spell would be the same. The problem was the speed of casting. Jumping from that height to the ground was just a blink of an eye. In that short time, whether it was three or two skills, Jiang You was certain of only one thing: he could never do it himself.

To be able to do something he couldn't even dream of, what level of expert would that be?

Only one answer came to Jiang You's mind: a pro player.

As the head of a club's guild, he naturally knew that some pro players would come to the online game during the summer when there were no matches, either to actively help the guild or to pass the time. If pro players came, how could they not participate in things like snatching bosses?

A pro player from Team Whistle?

A pro player from Team Whistle who used an elemental mage?

In an instant, a name was on the tip of his tongue: Zhao Yuzhe.

The best rookie of the eighth season, Zhao Yuzhe, a pro player from Team Whistle, whose character Shaoguang Huan was an elemental mage, wasn't it?

Jiang You himself played an elemental mage, so he always paid special attention to pro players of the same class, whether or not they were from Team Tyranny. So in an instant, he had guessed the other party's identity.

Jiang You's heart sank. He hadn't expected that Team Whistle had already had a pro player participate. When a pro player came, they would of course immediately provide an account, and arm it with the best equipment. Wearing a few Orange equips was only natural.

Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire left Jiang You unable to dodge. The opponent showed no mercy, continuously bombarding him with several spells. By the time Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire disappeared, You Fengdian's health was already critically low. Jiang You had just been controlling You Fengdian on the front line and battling with the Misty Rain guild. They knew his identity, so they naturally took special care of him. His character's health had already been less than full. And now he had been taken care of by a pro player like this.

Run!

The instant Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire disappeared, that was what Jiang You wanted to do. He quickly used Instant Movement to try and dive into the crowd. But before the skill was completed, just as his character had just turned around, a bolt of lightning had already pierced into You Fengdian's back and shot out of his chest.

"Damn it..." Jiang You cursed. You Fengdian's health was instantly reduced to zero. He fell, killed by the opponent's Lightning Penetration, the very skill that Jiang You had used to counterattack him at the beginning.

"Hmph..." You Fengdian fell, but Fenyanjing didn't even spare him a glance. After a cold snort, he was already bombarding elsewhere.

Jiang You's guess was completely correct. The one controlling Fenyanjing was indeed Zhao Yuzhe, the rookie from Team Whistle, and also the best rookie of the just-concluded eighth season.

The selection for the best rookie of the eighth season wasn't as easy as it had been in the seventh season. The best rookie of the seventh season, Sun Xiang, was already at the level of a god. The rookies of the same period were directly crushed in front of him. That year, Sun Xiang was even a strong contender for the regular season MVP. However, MVP didn't just look at individual stats, it also looked at the team's performance. At that time, the Excellent Era team that Sun Xiang was on was a truly weak team, not even making the playoffs, so how could they produce an MVP? But in the best rookie competition, even a blind man would vote for Sun Xiang.

But in this eighth season, Zhao Yuzhe had won after defeating two competitors, and his lead wasn't very large.

But Zhao Yuzhe himself wouldn't think about these things. Being able to win this award, he felt, was enough to prove that he was the most outstanding rookie player of this season. Zhao Yuzhe was very excited to win this award, because with this award, he had gained a lot of confidence. He felt that his position in the team would definitely improve, and the current situation of Team Whistle filled him with great expectations for the future.

The team's original ace player, captain Lin Jingyan, hadn't been declining in age and form for just a day or two. Last season, he had been defeated by Tang Hao at the All-Star Weekend, and his personal reputation had fallen a lot. Even his prestige in his own team was getting worse day by day. Zhao Yuzhe's respect for their captain was just superficial, and he had never been convinced in his heart.

As for the team's other All-Star player, Fang Rui, his level was certainly not low. His character, Ghost Haunt, was known as the Glory number one Thief. But the problem was that Fang Rui was the representative of the Wretched style. Besides being wretched, his style was even more wretched. The Wretched style was a more unconventional playstyle. There were many supporters, but also many people who hated it. Establishing such a player as the ace meant that while winning the support of a portion of the players, they would definitely lose a portion.

It was good for a new team to gain some support in this way, but Team Whistle already had good strength and good popularity. Taking such a risky path would be too risky for them. Therefore, Fang Rui was limited by his own style and would definitely not be supported as the ace.

So who should be the ace of Team Whistle?

The election of the best rookie seemed to give them an answer.

Ever since being elected as the best rookie, Zhao Yuzhe's mind had been filled with countless fantasies. He even fantasized that the team would buy the number one elemental mage, Wind Howl. And he felt that this possibility was very high. Now there were rumors that Team Hundred Blossom would buy their team's number one rogue, Tang San Da, for Tang Hao, so why couldn't their team use this income to buy him Wind Howl?

Zhao Yuzhe was excited, completely excited by his various fantasies. Full of infinite yearning for the future, he gave up his vacation and ran to the online game to fight for the team. He already regarded himself as an ace, and on days without matches, he ran to the online game to make more contributions.

Don't say it, except for the fantasy of buying Wind Howl being a bit exaggerated, Zhao Yuzhe's other ideas weren't out of line at all. Lin Jingyan was old, Fang Rui's style wasn't suitable to be an ace, and a team with the best rookie would cultivate the best rookie as an ace from then on. This idea was completely reliable. It wasn't just Zhao Yuzhe who thought so, there were many people.

For example, the president of the online game guild, Matian Xifeng, thought so. So when Zhao Yuzhe rushed into the online game to support his work, he really regarded this one as the future ace. This made Zhao Yuzhe feel comfortable from head to toe. Taking the character and equipment that Matian Xifeng assigned to him, he came to snatch the Boss for the team in a high-profile manner.

So, the first battle, encountering Tyrannical Ambition.

Zhao Yuzhe dismissed Matian Xifeng's introduction to the strength of Tyrannical Ambition's elite team. What was there to it? Just an online game level, even if it was an elite, how strong could it be? Capture the leader first, directly kill the other party's boss, and see what else they could do.

So Zhao Yuzhe's Fenyanjing stood very high. He was looking for the opponent's leader, preparing to directly kill him and severely hit the opponent's morale.

Obviously he succeeded. Jiang You was killed by him in one encounter. At this time, Zhao Yuzhe was even more complacent. These little things in the online game, how could they be difficult for me, the best rookie, the future ace of Team Whistle?
