Qi Ren (Qi Blade)!

A cluster of internal force without any light or shadow effects streaked through the air. One could imagine how blurry the visual effect was. This skill required one to predict and dodge by observing the character's movements, otherwise it would be difficult to grasp the sense of distance.

However, He Ming didn't notice any action from Hai Wu Liang to unleash Qi Ren, but this cluster of internal force had already flown in front of Lu Luo.

Too late to dodge!

Lu Luo was silently struck by the Qi Ren and staggered. Many of the audience members who hadn't paid close attention didn't notice this Qi Ren and were wondering what kind of spell chanting initiation Lu Luo's stumble was.

Hai Wu Liang, still rolling, jumped up into the air almost simultaneously. As his palms waved out, the gathered internal force had already spurted out a section.

Hong Tian Pao (Heaven-Shaking Cannon)!

The aggressively attacking internal energy rolled up dust from the ground and slammed head-on into Lu Luo. It wasn't that He Ming didn't react, he wanted to dodge, but he was too late. He thought the distance between him and Hai Wu Liang was quite safe, and that he was confident he could calmly deal with any attack from a Qigong Master. As a result, he only noticed the Qi Ren when it was right in front of him. Then, the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, a skill with such momentum, was actually hidden?

What kind of playstyle is this? Is it related to his Rogue's movement style?

He Ming was, after all, a mature professional player. Although he hadn't completely understood it yet, he immediately found the key point. The source was precisely the Rogue's movement style.

For Rogues, this kind of movement allowed them to set traps faster and more concealed. Otherwise, if a Rogue was running around and suddenly squatted down to dig a hole, any idiot would know they were setting a trap. What use was a trap if its location was seen?

Fang Rui's Hai Wu Liang also used this kind of movement. He had no traps to place, but he achieved the effect that the Rogues wanted to achieve: his attacks, like traps, were hidden and suddenly appeared.

This was Fang Rui's specialty.

He had honed this kind of rhythm control to perfection in his days as the No. 1 Rogue.

Now, he was using it on the Qigong Master, and after using just two skills, he already felt extremely comfortable.

Stupid! Why didn't I think of it sooner?

Among long-range attack methods, was there anything easier to conceal than a Qigong Master's Qi attacks? No sound effects, the lowest-key light and shadow effects, it was simply a moving trap. Qigong Masters were truly good at being sneaky! This kind of secretive approach was simply too satisfying.

Having had an epiphany and changing his perspective, Fang Rui actually interpreted the Qigong Master, a righteous and upright profession, as being sneaky. No Qigong Master had ever understood the profession in this way before.

After the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, Hai Wu Liang followed with a backflip, and this flip was actually towards Lu Luo's location.

"What's he doing?" Lu Luo had almost flipped over on the ground from the Heaven-Shaking Cannon, and it seemed like he had just barely managed to stand firm. When He Ming looked again, Hai Wu Liang was backflipping towards him? With his back facing him?

He Ming vaguely saw, as he landed in a crouching position from the backflip, that Hai Wu Liang's hand seemed to be propped on the ground?

Crap!

His vision shook, and He Ming didn't make any movements, but Lu Luo was launched into the air.

Di Lei Zhen (Earth-Shattering Quake)! He was actually using it with his back turned to block, how could this person be so sneaky!

Earth-Shattering Quake wasn't just like a trampoline that made the targets within the range bounce. This quake also involved the movement of Qi, which would flip the targets within the range.

Lu Luo's body fell down, and He Ming quickly performed a Ukemi roll. Hai Wu Liang, who had landed from the backflip, rolled over in passing, and when he turned around, his hands were already pushing outwards. A Spiral Qi Rush lunged towards Lu Luo's chest as he lay horizontally.

He could only use Instantaneous Movement!

He Ming's mind was clear, and he knew that this was the only skill that could escape this attack at this time. He hurriedly operated, but he was still too slow. The two strands of entangled mind energy slammed into Lu Luo, and Lu Luo's figure was immediately twisted and rotated. With a bang, he plastered against the wall behind him. Fang Rui could be considered to have avenged the Firebird attack that had plastered him against the wall.

This guy!

He Ming was a little nervous. Fang Rui's playstyle was suddenly different from what he had observed and understood in the previous eight rounds. Attacking smoothly during rolling, jumping, and other movement changes was quite common, but no one had ever completely concealed their attacks in this way like Fang Rui.

He only noticed the Qi Ren when it was already in front of him.

The mind energy had already gone out a small part of the way when the Heaven-Shaking Cannon was blasted out.

Earth-Shattering Quake, with his back turned to block the attack.

The backflip that concealed the Spiral Qi Rush had become a way to close the distance for this skill. Then, he finished operating the skill while rolling and unleashed it as soon as he stood up. Even though the Elementalist had Instantaneous Movement, He Ming couldn't use it because he didn't have enough time to operate.

Was this a Qigong Master attacking? This was simply a Rogue secretly setting up one trap after another in front of his opponent. It was just that traps were waiting for the opponent to passively trigger them, while his "traps" were more active.

Hai Wu Liang was moving again, using the Rogue's movements again, rolling and jumping, as if he was a hunting dog pouncing towards Lu Luo.

Ice Wall!

He Ming hurriedly controlled Lu Luo, who had just fallen from the wall, to unleash this one of his few ice-type skills. Block it first, he… needed some time to think!

He had never seen a Qigong Master's fighting style like this before, so He Ming couldn't instantly decipher how to deal with it. He needed more time to observe and study Fang Rui's attack method.

The Ice Wall blocked Hai Wu Liang from directly attacking Lu Luo. Go around? That would only turn into a childish game of two people running in circles around a table. Fang Rui didn't hesitate. Like before in the corridor, Hai Wu Liang pushed a palm against the Ice Wall.

Last time, he was the one who was anxious. But this time, the one who should be anxious was his opponent, right?

Don't panic, I still have the advantage now.

He Ming glanced at the two characters' health bars, seeking confidence from them. If he directly compared them, his advantage was still quite large.

But what should he do next?

He Ming watched as Hai Wu Liang's bombardment was about to shatter the Ice Wall, but he didn't operate his character to make any movements.

"You can't escape." Fang Rui sent a mischievous expression. The Ice Wall shattered at this moment, but Lu Luo also suddenly disappeared at this moment.

"I guessed it!" Hai Wu Liang immediately backflipped, his back once again becoming a cover for him to condense his moves. But this time, before he could turn around, a bolt of lightning had already slammed into his back.

Hai Wu Liang's figure stiffened in the air during the backflip, and he fell.

The audience was dumbfounded.

To be honest, they couldn't understand this battle.

Because from their God's perspective, ordinary players with insufficient skill couldn't feel the effect of Fang Rui's changed playstyle. In their opinion, He Ming could have clearly dodged those consecutive skills, but he ended up being hit by all of them.

This was like Shadow Stalking, like dead-angle tactics, like some situations of pseudo-combos. Only the players in the battle knew how difficult it was.

He Ming was the same at the time.

But then, the Ice Wall rose, Hai Wu Liang charged up, Lu Luo used Instantaneous Movement to leave, and then Hai Wu Liang propped his back and sent himself towards Lu Luo, without even turning his head.

Was he courting death?

Everyone thought so.

Then Hai Wu Liang was indeed blasted down by Lu Luo's spell.

"Oops, it seems I made a very low-level mistake…" Fang Rui also turned around. He was only focused on indulging in this combat style of secretly releasing skills, but he had overlooked that when you were being sneaky, you always had to make sure you weren't attacked by your opponent, right?

This backflip was too casual, too taken for granted.

The audience thought Fang Rui was courting death, but He Ming was quite nervous at that moment. Although he immediately operated Lu Luo to cast Lightning Penetration, he was really afraid that Hai Wu Liang had already hidden some skill this time, and that he would be blasted before Lightning Penetration came out.

But, nothing!

Lightning Penetration knocked Hai Wu Liang down, and He Ming's heart was relieved. He quickly began to seize this opportunity, and the spell array spread out, once again trapping Hai Wu Liang.

"Die!"

Looking at Hai Wu Liang's declining health, He Ming felt an unprecedented urgency in his heart. It was as if he would lose if he couldn't take away his opponent in this wave. Although his character's health was still so much ahead, a strong sense of crisis enveloped him.

Glory!

The two big words finally jumped onto the screen, and He Ming breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, he had finally won this round, and he had done well. Lu Luo still had more than half of his health left.

Fang Rui, who had lost, left the stage, but he wasn't feeling too dejected. He had lost this match, but he had seen a magical future. If this wasn't a formal match, he would definitely shamelessly stick to the stage and demand another match with his opponent. He was too eager to figure out whether this future was real.

Fang Rui's beaming face made his teammates not even bother to comfort him.

"Seems like you've got some new discovery?" Ye Xiu asked, and the others weren't surprised that Fang Rui was in this state after failing, because they had already heard Ye Xiu's interpretation of Fang Rui's sudden adjustment.

"Yeah, do you think it's feasible?" Fang Rui humbly asked for advice. The person in front of him was an all-class expert who was proficient in both Qigong Master and Rogue. He should be able to give very pertinent advice.

"Looks good, as long as you avoid those mistakes that make people want to throw up," Ye Xiu said.

"That was just an accident." Fang Rui said nonchalantly. He was just too immersed in his new understanding at the time, which was why he had made such an out-of-condition, casual mistake. It was impossible to make such a mistake again. But after hearing Ye Xiu's affirmation, Fang Rui was even more excited.

"I really want to study it properly, who's next? Hurry up and go up to end the battle! I'm in a hurry," Fang Rui shouted.

Mo Fan stood up, didn't say anything about Fang Rui's yelling, and silently walked towards the stage.

"Hurry up!" Fang Rui shouted at his back.

Mo Fan's body stiffened slightly, but then, his pace actually quickened a bit in a very awkward manner.
