Chapter 159 Sun Zhepíng

The scene between two non-active professional players controlling Berserkers seemed even more incomprehensible than those in professional leagues, leaving Lou Guan Ning somewhat baffled. It's not uncommon for Berserkers to trade health, but the way the Great God was doing it seemed particularly unprofessional. No one stands there letting their opponent chop away at their health just to increase their attack power. Trading health should be like the Great God's choice of Collision Stab against Collision Stab just now—calculated, purposeful, coordinated with skill exchanges, and only used when it can earn back more health from the opponent in the long run, especially in one-on-one situations.

Perhaps he was waiting for the right opportunity to break the combo and launch a counterattack?

Lou Guan Ning could only guess, so he began to look for such an opportunity. Soon, Lou Guan Ning's eyes lit up!

This was a great opportunity! He could forcefully break through with Blood Shadow Blade and launch a counterattack immediately. Was this it?

In the blink of an eye, as Lou Guan Ning's thoughts raced, he was hit. Zhan Lou Lan was hit again.

Why didn't he use it? Lou Guan Ning was puzzled. What a great opportunity… But suddenly, Lou Guan Ning realized the problem.

Using Blood Shadow Blade to forcibly break through and counterattack was indeed a good choice, but at this moment, could Zhan Lou Lan make that choice? His Blood Shadow Blade was probably on cooldown, wasn't it?

Instantly, Lou Guan Ning completely came to his senses.

Recalling Zai Shui Yi Xia's offensive earlier, Lou Guan Ning realized even more clearly that the places he thought could break the combo were only theoretically possible. In actual combat, these connections corresponded perfectly with Zhan Lou Lan's cooldown skills, making it impossible to break. The Great God wasn't trading health; he was truly in a passive position.

As the saying goes, those involved are confused, while onlookers are clear, but that's not always the case. Some details are easily overlooked by those not actually in the battle. In these situations, those involved are clear, while onlookers are confused.

After seeing this, Lou Guan Ning immediately realized that the Great God's passive state was probably about to end. Skill cooldowns aren't endless. After using up Blood Shadow Blade's CD, Zhan Lou Lan's skills had all recovered. But Zai Shui Yi Xia, who could accurately calculate skill cooldowns to unleash such combos, would surely be aware of this. After one strike, Zai Shui Yi Xia quickly activated Berserk, launching a wave of attacks as steady as Zhan Lou Lan's earlier, lasting throughout the entire Berserk state, ending with a grand finale.

28%!

Zai Shui Yi Xia's wave of attacks directly took away 28% of Zhan Lou Lan's health. Because Zhan Lou Lan's combo had taken away 15% of his health earlier, it gave him a stronger combat power under the effect of Bloodthirst Awakening. Coupled with the fact that he made more attacks than Zhan Lou Lan did at the time, this wave of attacks was terrifyingly high.

Lou Guan Ning couldn't help but worry about the Great God. Zai Shui Yi Xia's precise calculations in this wave of attacks had completely proven that he was definitely a top-tier player. His level as a Berserker was definitely above his own. Lou Guan Ning admitted that he couldn't currently execute such a combo pattern that calculated the opponent's skill cooldowns for precise strikes, especially against an opponent like the Great God.

Lou Guan Ning had all sorts of thoughts, but the battle never stopped. The Great God, having suffered a huge amount of damage, immediately manipulated Zhan Lou Lan to counterattack.

Also seizing the opportunity of skill cooldowns!

Lou Guan Ning understood this now. He understood this kind of playstyle, but he couldn't imagine using it to the extreme like Zai Shui Yi Xia. His combo used Zhan Lou Lan's cooldown skills like one loophole after another, with an incredibly high efficiency.

This person could do it, so the Great God should be able to as well, right?

Lou Guan Ning firmly believed this, but he overlooked the fact that Zai Shui Yi Xia, who could do such a thing, would surely guard against it. The two Berserkers fought again, not with the Great God quickly taking the lead as Lou Guan Ning had imagined. Zai Shui Yi Xia, who had been fighting wildly, suddenly became conservative when he gained such a clear advantage, focusing on defense.

The two characters began exchanging skills again, leading to a decrease in health.

At this time, Zai Shui Yi Xia had more health, while Zhan Lou Lan had less, but because of the existence of Bloodthirst Awakening, his attack power was stronger. As a result, the skill exchange situation became more complicated, requiring very precise calculations to decide.

Then, the rhythm of their battle remained extremely fast, as if neither wanted to give the other time to calculate carefully. Amidst the blood, the two characters' health was declining, and the spectators were calculating who was losing and who was gaining in the skill exchange based on the changes in data.

The Great God gained slightly!

This was what Lou Guan Ning calculated. He had opened the calculator earlier to calculate the durability loss, but he forgot to close it after being attracted to the battle. Now, he used it very easily to calculate, reaching the conclusion the fastest.

However, this slight gain wasn't enough! Because the Great God's health was at a disadvantage, if they continued to exchange at this rate, Zhan Lou Lan would still be the one to fall in the end, unless there was suddenly another opportunity to deal a wave of damage that took away more than 5% of his health. But with the current caution of both sides, it was unlikely that anyone would have such an opportunity.

Lou Guan Ning was anxious. After watching for a while, he suddenly realized that the decrease in the two characters' health didn't match his expectations. Lou Guan Ning blankly recalculated with the calculator and found that it did deviate from his previous calculations. After a moment of愣住, Lou Guan Ning quickly reacted. This was because the battle was between two Berserkers. The decrease in health constantly changed their attack power, so skill exchange was much more complicated than for ordinary classes. This duel tested not only both sides' awareness and operation, but also their calculation ability.

However, given the pace of these two people's battle, it was probably difficult to make precise calculations using arithmetic like Lou Guan Ning. So at this time, what was working was probably still experience and intuition.

The two continued to fight. Lou Guan Ning had a calculator in hand and felt that he should have a clearer grasp of the situation than the two participants. But in fact, because they were constantly adjusting their fighting styles as their health decreased, Lou Guan Ning's calculations were meaningless, because he couldn't use the calculated data to deduce what would happen next. As for judging the present… he could just look at the two characters' health bars. Did he need to calculate?

Lou Guan Ning foolishly calculated wildly until the characters' health decreased in ways that surprised him time and time again. Only then did he suddenly realize how stupid he was being. Calculation was meaningless; he could only look at the two's mastery of the situation.

At this time, after a series of exchanges, Zai Shui Yi Xia had 10% health left, and Zhan Lou Lan had 7%. The original 13% gap had been narrowed to 10%. Lou Guan Ning quickly played with the calculator again and generally converted the efficiency of this exchange process, then realized that as long as they could maintain this point, turning over 10% health with 7% was simply a sure thing.

Worthy of being a Great God!

Lou Guan Ning was filled with emotion and worship. Who knew that at this time, the situation on the field would suddenly change? The skill exchange situation was disrupted, and Zai Shui Yi Xia suddenly began to attack at this time.

"Tsk, tsk…" Lou Guan Ning sighed inwardly. "This person's level is indeed very high. He also realized that he had no chance of winning like this, so he's going to go all out! But this situation must be within the Great God's calculations, and he must have prepared for it, right?"

Judging from Zhan Lou Lan's response, Ye Xiu was indeed prepared, but after watching for a while, Lou Guan Ning was shocked to find that Zhan Lou Lan was still being suppressed by the opponent.

6%...

5%...

4%...

Although it didn't form a systematic combo, Zai Shui Yi Xia had a clear advantage in this wave of attacks. He accumulated and reduced Zhan Lou Lan's health with one attack after another. Although he also decreased in the process, the advantage in health allowed him to maintain a balance, and in the end, it could only be Zhan Lou Lan who fell.

How could this be?

Lou Guan Ning was shocked. Seeing that the outcome was about to be decided, the tense mood made it impossible for him to calm down and analyze the situation. He glanced at the Great God sitting there. Ye Xiu's expression was still calm, and his operations never stopped, but a slight sigh didn't escape Lou Guan Ning's eyes.

He's going to lose!

Lou Guan Ning realized it, turned his head to look at the battle situation again. Zhan Lou Lan's health had dropped to 1%, while Zai Shui Yi Xia still had more than 5%. In the final stage, not only did the Great God fail to close the gap, but he was also thrown off by the opponent by 4%.

Will there be a miracle?

Lou Guan Ning was still expecting it in his heart, but in the end, Zhan Lou Lan fell. The Great God actually lost this time.

Who is this person!

The surprise in Lou Guan Ning's heart could not be expressed in words. Although he understood that there were always wins and losses in Glory, and there was never a saying of winning every battle, and that the Great God had lost to many people in the professional circle, the reality in front of him made him feel unacceptable. Not only him, but Chen Guo, Tang Rou, and Bao Zi were also surprised as if they had seen something that should never have happened.

Even when Zhan Lou Lan's health was only 1% left, they still thought that Ye Xiu would have some kind of outbreak, until Zhan Lou Lan really fell, then they came back to their senses. For them, Ye Xiu losing was even more shocking than him suddenly erupting and reversing the game when his health was at 1%.

The training room was silent. Lou Guan Ning's childhood friend, in this rare situation of winning, didn't immediately start mocking and attacking. This was a particularly miraculous thing in the eyes of Lou Guan Ning and his group. This guy was also staring at the finished game in a daze. The danger and excitement of this duel attracted even him, a guy with little interest in Glory.

After a long while, this guy came back to his senses, and surprisingly didn't immediately start ridiculing and attacking. He stood up, looked at Lou Guan Ning opposite him, with a look of surprise: "Old Lou, have you become so powerful?"

"The level is indeed very high. I won this game, but if we start another game, who wins and who loses will have to start all over again." Zai Shui Yi Xia also stood up, looked at Lou Guan Ning opposite him, and said very affirmatively.

Lou Guan Ning couldn't sit still at this time, feeling very ashamed, and was about to admit the truth, when he suddenly heard Zai Shui Yi Xia shout, "Damn, why are you here?"

"What?" Lou Guan Ning looked blankly, but saw Zai Shui Yi Xia looking surprised, pointing at the Great God over there.

"It's actually you, no wonder!" Ye Xiu also looked at this guy, his expression much calmer.

"You guys know each other?" Everyone in the room was surprised.

"Ye Qiu!" When Zai Shui Yi Xia called out this name, there were obviously some gnashing teeth elements in it.

"Sun Zhepíng." Ye Xiu was still calmer than him.
