Chapter 295 One Against Three!

Happy, having won another round in the individual competition, Fang Rui's successive two victories appeared remarkably easy, frighteningly so. After two battles, Sea Neverending's health had only been reduced by 17%!

This… is the rhythm of an ace taking on three opponents in a row!

The live audience savored the moment for a good while, and it wasn't until Team Howling's Lin Feng walked out of the competition booth, head down, and walked off the stage, that they fully came to their senses and suddenly burst into shouts.

Still having 83 percent of his health, and with Howling's core god Tang Hao already having fought in the individual competition, this individual competition looked very promising for taking on three opponents in a row!

The audience all looked towards Team Howling's player seats, wondering who Howling's final player would be.

A moment later, the decibel level in the arena seemed to drop slightly. Howling's final player had stood up: Liu Hao.

Liu Hao, a player who had entered the All-Star lineup this season, could be said to have considerable popularity. More importantly, this was H City. A year ago, this was still Liu Hao's home stadium, and many of the spectators in the stands had personally watched his matches here. Seeing Liu Hao come on stage, everyone was stunned. Former teammates, now opponents – this was something that happened among the players. And former objects of support, now obstacles in the way – this was something that fans often had to face.

The fans' emotions would also become very complex at times like this, and their expectations for an ace taking on three opponents in a row were somewhat restrained. The cruelty of professional competition was like this, biting everyone from time to time.

Liu Hao walked firmly towards the stage, waving diligently to the audience along the way. As a visiting player, this was usually a self-defeating behavior, but Liu Hao clearly knew that this venue had a different meaning for him. His attitude, however, won over many of the audience members, and the home crowd even gave some applause to a visiting player.

But Liu Hao's mood was not as carefree as he showed.

His side had two players eliminated, and had only killed 17% of the opponent's health. If Howling wanted to win, he would need to complete the feat of taking on three opponents in a row...

Liu Hao didn't have that much fantasy. In his opinion, this was already an individual competition that Howling couldn't win. And what he had to do now was to defeat Fang Rui, at least to prevent the opponent from taking on three opponents in a row. Otherwise, whether it was himself or Team Howling, it would be too embarrassing.

But this opponent still had 83 percent of his health...

Liu Hao's mood was a bit heavy. The nonchalance he put on disappeared the moment he entered the competition booth. He carefully checked the condition of his keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals before swiping his card to enter the game.

The third round of the individual competition began. Happy was still Fang Rui, but Howling had already sent out its third player to defend the stage.

"At this point, if I don't take on three opponents in a row, everyone will be very disappointed!" The match had just begun, and Fang Rui openly stated his position in the chat.

"Heh, you're thinking too much!" Liu Hao replied.

"But you're in a more miserable situation. It seems you have to take on three opponents in a row to win this individual competition, right?" Fang Rui said.

Liu Hao was immediately speechless. He had just wanted to use words to ridicule and draw the audience's attention to the question of whether Fang Rui could take on three opponents in a row. That way, if he won and prevented Fang Rui from taking on three opponents in a row, it would be as if he had already won. Even if Howling's individual competition would be lost, everyone would blame the previous two players for not being strong enough, and he, who had prevented Fang Rui from taking on three opponents in a row, would seem to have some merit.

Who would have thought that Fang Rui would be so quick-tongued, and would directly point out the truth of the difficulties he was facing?

Just defeating Fang Rui? That was far from enough. At this moment, he was the one who was truly shouldering the responsibility of taking on three opponents in a row. Liu Hao's attempt to divert the audience's attention had been shattered by Fang Rui before he could even implement it.

"How is it? Are you confident in taking on three opponents in a row? I'm quite confident, though!" Fang Rui continued to chatter on. Not only did Liu Hao fail to divert attention, but Fang Rui pulled everyone's attention to the matter of taking on three opponents in a row. He had confidence? Of course he did. With 83 percent of his health, challenging 100 percent, any player would be incredibly motivated at this point. But what about Liu Hao? One hundred percent health against two hundred and eighty percent? His heart was about to break.

"Taking on three opponents in a row? Don't even think about it!" Liu Hao had no choice but to continue to emphasize that he was an ace-killer, not an ace performer.

"Heh, you don't even think about it! Or are you actually not thinking about it at all? If that's the case, I'm saying, don't waste your time, just GG!" Fang Rui said.

Those words were so blunt that they were practically hitting Liu Hao in the spine. This was Happy's home field, but there were also many die-hard Howling fans who had traveled with the team, and they couldn't tolerate such mockery. In this situation, they could understand if Liu Hao lost the match, but everyone was hoping for a miracle in their hearts. Now, being ridiculed by Fang Rui like this, the Howling fans at the scene immediately erupted. They hoped that Liu Hao, the vice-captain who had been relied on so much this season, could stand up for them and fight back against the opponent with a one-on-three victory in this Happy's home field.

"One against three!!!" The die-hard fans of Team Howling were burning, cheering for their vice-captain, and for a time, their shouts of "one against three" echoed with the Happy fans' shouts of "one against three." However, the momentum of the Howling fans was obviously stronger. They were really looking forward to slapping the other side's faces. But as soon as they shouted, the Happy fans couldn't sit still. At this point, you still want to take on three opponents in a row? How arrogant! As a result, the shouts of "one against three" from the Happy side rose to another climax, rushing towards the Howling fans. After all, they had the advantage in numbers and quickly overwhelmed the visiting fans. But at this time, the Howling fans were unyielding. Their momentum was suppressed, but it couldn't stop them from continuing to shout.

This was such trust and expectation in Howling, in Liu Hao!

Sitting in the competition booth, Liu Hao didn't know that. If he did, he probably wouldn't be moved, but would be forced to cry by the fans' impulsiveness.

Take on three opponents in a row? Everyone, be rational, okay? How can you take on three opponents in a row in this situation? The first person still has 83 percent of his health!

Liu Hao didn't know, so he hadn't thought so much yet. He was just preparing to defeat Fang Rui, at least to stop Happy's ace from taking on three opponents in a row. And then, he would definitely be understood by the fans. He had no idea that because of Fang Rui's trash talk, the Howling fans had made extremely high demands of him.

The two characters gradually approached each other as they argued. Fang Rui continued to be sneaky, and Sea Neverending didn't reveal his position. Liu Hao had watched two matches and had captured some of the key points of Fang Rui's use of this map. He was particularly careful when moving his character, and his positioning was quite good. For the time being, although he couldn't find Sea Neverending, Fang Rui hadn't found a good opportunity to attack either, and the two were at a stalemate.

"What's wrong? Still not attacking? Can't find an opportunity? If you keep hiding like this, be careful of getting a yellow card!" Liu Hao also began a trash-talking offensive.

"I'm right behind you!" Fang Rui said.

"Heh." Liu Hao wasn't that naive.

"I'm really right behind you!" Fang Rui added.

"..."

"I'm right behind you!"

"I'm right behind you!"

Fang Rui suddenly transformed into Huang Shaotian, and actually kept spamming this sentence on the screen. Liu Hao was annoyed, but the more annoyed he was, the less he dared to turn his character's perspective. The more Fang Rui shouted like this, the more he felt that everywhere except behind him was dangerous. Liu Hao carefully moved his character, observing left and right. There was no sign of Sea Neverending, only Sea Neverending's spam.

"I'm right behind you!"

"I'm right behind you!"

Liu Hao suddenly became a little nervous.

This guy, spamming like this endlessly, could it be that he really wants to attack from behind, but is using the opposite tactic to make me afraid to pay attention to behind me?

Take a look! Just one look, quickly, it shouldn't cause any problems!

Liu Hao carefully checked left and right again, then suddenly flicked the mouse, and the perspective rotated quickly, the scene behind him flashing by. There was no Sea Neverending. Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and the perspective had already turned back.

Qi Circulation Through the Sky!

Sea Neverending attacked at this moment, the position being right behind Liu Hao's character. With such a quick feint, how could anyone have seen the cover behind those angled obstacles in one glance? Fang Rui seized the moment when Liu Hao relaxed after that glance, and unleashed the Qi Circulation Through the Sky that he had been charging for who knows how long!

The Qi itself was silent, but the Qi Circulation Through the Sky, fully charged, rushed forward with the character. The sound of collision and tearing against the air instantly erupted.

Liu Hao knew something was wrong as soon as he heard the sound. He didn't even bother to turn his perspective again, and immediately rolled to dodge. His mood changed from tense to relaxed, and then suddenly tense again. His control inevitably faltered, and that was the moment Fang Rui seized. The Qi Circulation Through the Sky, with Sea Neverending and his Qi, slammed into Liu Hao's character, Dark Cloudy Sky, the rolling Spellblade, killing him directly.

The Qi Master's attack had drawn blood, a rare sight!

A streak of bright red spurted out of Dark Cloudy Sky's mouth, which was usually a sign of severe internal injuries. However, the attack didn't end there. After Fang Rui's skilled set of acupuncture and meridian severing followed by a finishing move combo, Dark Cloudy Sky's 17% health advantage over Sea Neverending had vanished instantly.

The Happy fans at the scene erupted with cheers again.

The fans were working hard, but they still needed the response of the players on the field. Only a beautiful performance could ultimately ignite the fans' enthusiasm. Fang Rui was so determined to kill three opponents in a row. What about Liu Hao? Everyone had seen the scene of him being toyed around by Fang Rui's trash talk. They hadn't made fun of him too much, because Liu Hao had a certain special status in this venue.

However, the fans were more nostalgic, and Fang Rui continued his trash-talking offensive.

"I've said it so many times that I'm behind you, why don't you believe me? How many times do I have to say it? Give me a number!" Fang Rui continued to enrich the content of the public channel.
