Chapter 1381 Hundred Blossoms on the Cliff's Edge

Chapter 1 XIngxin vs. Howling Wind

Xingxin versus Howling Wind, 1 to 0.

The electronic scoreboard at the venue clearly displayed the score between the two teams after the first match.

Ye Xiu's winning streak continued. Pan Lin and Li Yibo only mentioned this topic briefly in the TV broadcast, still with a slightly disgusted tone, because they were already tired of it. As for this match, Li Yibo deeply felt that he had been slapped in the face again. Before the match, he didn't dare to make too many analyses or predictions. He only said that this map was more suitable for a magic swordsman, carefully chosen by Liu Hao. He felt that there was no way he could be wrong about such an obvious thing!

But as a result, was this map suitable for the magic swordsman to perform? If it couldn't be seen from the map, then looking at the performance on the field, one could only give Li Yibo a "Hehe" with regret.

The on-site performance didn't show that Liu Hao's Dark Cloudy Sky had used the map in any way. But was Li Yibo so easy to deal with?

"Ye Xiu played very well!" Li Yibo said. "From the beginning, he saw that the map was not favorable to him, so he gradually led his opponent into his design, controlled him in one wave, and then immediately finished the game."

"Yes, yes, what kind of article did Liu Hao want to make with this map? We didn't have a chance to see it at all!" Pan Lin echoed Li Yibo's thoughts.

"This duel between old teammates didn't spark the fireworks we expected. Ye Xiu easily won." Li Yibo said.

"Yes, Ye Xiu easily took a victory. Xingxin is now leading 1-0. The Howling Wind fans at the venue look a little disappointed!" Pan Lin said.

"They probably didn't expect such a scene! Generally speaking, the first player to play usually chooses a more tough style! These types of players are better at boosting the atmosphere, and even if they lose, they won't be too disappointing. Liu Hao, on the other hand, should be a calculating player. If his calculations aren't accurate, then the loss will be quite unsightly," said Li Yibo.

"Yes… it seems like he was a little inactive in this match," Pan Lin said.

While the two were discussing, both players had already begun to leave the stage. Liu Hao walked along the road with an unsightly expression, hearing some boos in his ears, obviously many Howling Wind fans were very dissatisfied with his performance in the first match. But overall, the Howling Wind audience was quite tolerant of Liu Hao.

"Let's prepare to enjoy the second round of the duel between the two sides!" Pan Lin said, and the camera also turned to the electronic screen at the venue. The names of the players from both sides who would be fighting in the second round of the individual competition were quickly displayed on the screen.

Xingxin, Mo Fan, Deception.

Howling Wind, Guo Yang, Qi Chongyunshui.

"Another former Excellent Era player," Li Yibo said.

"Xingxin has sent out Mo Fan, instead of Luo Ji or Wei Chen, who have been regularly appearing recently. It seems that the tense situation has finally made Xingxin afraid to continue letting Luo Ji and Wei Chen find their rhythm," said Pan Lin.

"Hehe, at this time, losing any more points means there will be no more chances to recover," said Li Yibo.

Yes, in the last two rounds, every point is extremely valuable, and it is very likely that the final deficit will be just this one point.

The Howling Wind team lost a point, but ranked seventh on the standings, they still have a slight advantage over eighth and ninth place. At this time, the Hundred Blossoms team, ranked eighth on the standings, needed points even more than Howling Wind, but they also lost a point in the first match of the individual competition.

Song Qiying, the Little General of Tyranny, took the lead and ultimately defeated Zhang Wei, the old general of Hundred Blossoms, taking the first point for Tyranny.

Then the second Tyranny player to take the stage immediately aroused boos from the Hundred Blossoms crowd.

Zhang Jiale, it could only be Zhang Jiale. Every time he returned to the Hundred Blossoms home field, he was greeted with such courtesy.

It had been three years since he retired from Hundred Blossoms.

It had been almost two years since he joined Tyranny.

Hundred Blossoms' resentment towards him never seemed to lessen. Even though there were many Hundred Blossoms fans who understood him, their voices could not completely prevail. On the contrary, those fans who hated Zhang Jiale had an even stronger presence.

In a Hundred Blossoms player selection event organized by Hundred Blossoms fans themselves in the middle of this season, Zhang Jiale surprisingly took first place for both the player Hundred Blossoms fans were most grateful to and the player they hated the most.

Zhang Jiale was both an angel and a devil in Hundred Blossoms.

Some missed his many years of contribution, while others hated his betrayal at the last moment.

Love and hate were intertwined, and the debate never seemed to end. At this time, when he came on the stage, there was applause, but more boos. After all, at this moment, Hundred Blossoms urgently needed victory, but Zhang Jiale had become an obstacle in their way. This obviously aroused hatred rather than gratitude.

On the Hundred Blossoms side, the crowd was stunned when the name of the player appearing in this round was displayed.

Zou Yuan, Flowing Blossom.

It was just so coincidental that the old and new generation of Gunners in Hundred Blossoms stood facing each other on the stage, and the air seemed to have solidified.

Zhang Jiale's expression was very calm.

Having come this far, he would no longer have any other emotions. The past had been buried deep in his heart. He would recall it, but definitely not at this moment. Perhaps the score didn't matter to Tyranny at the moment, but Zhang Jiale would never try to curry favor with Hundred Blossoms in this way. He hoped to gain the understanding and support of the Hundred Blossoms players, but it could never be in this way.

He would play this match seriously, not for Tyranny's victory, which was not important, but as his greatest respect for himself and for Hundred Blossoms.

Gunshot.

The two Gunners were already fighting together.

These were probably the two most outstanding Gunners in Glory at the moment. They both came from the Hundred Blossoms team and both controlled Gunner characters named after flowers.

Who was stronger? Who was weaker?

This didn't seem to be a question that could be explained by one match. A match only had victory or defeat.

Zou Yuan's style of play was a great inheritance of Zhang Jiale's, but after that, he also incorporated many of his personal styles. Their styles of play seemed the same, but they were not.

This had nothing to do with superiority or inferiority, but each of them displayed their abilities to the limit.

Amidst the roar, bullets bloomed like flowers. At this moment, everyone forgot all the entanglements, and everyone's nerves were only affected by everything on the field.

Victory or defeat, only victory or defeat. No matter what person, what profession, what kind of playing style, what kind of entanglement, when on the field, what is finally displayed is only victory or defeat.

The loser falls, the one standing wins the game, there will be no second result. And when this end comes...

Glory!

These two words flashed on the electronic screen, and the holographic projection of the game screen also slowed down at the moment of the final blow.

In the flower-like bloom of ammunition fire, Flowing Blossom fell down. Zou Yuan ultimately failed to defeat his predecessor. And Zhang Jiale, he knew very well that his victory might just be the icing on the cake for Tyranny, but it could be fatal for Hundred Blossoms. But he did not hesitate, did not flinch, and resolutely allowed Dazzling Hundred Blossoms to fire the last shot.

As for what kind of consequences this would bring to the Hundred Blossoms team, this was no longer something he needed to consider.

The core player and ace character of the Hundred Blossoms team were all in the past.

2 to 0!

Tyranny challenged Hundred Blossoms on their home field. Even though their own team didn't need to care too much about the outcome, they took the lead and pushed Hundred Blossoms to the brink.

And the news from other matches made Hundred Blossoms even more panicked.

The 301 team, which was only 1 point behind them, was playing against the last-place Imminent Sea in this round. At this time, they had already won three consecutive matches, and on the immediate standings, they had squeezed them out of the top eight.

The match between Thunder and Samsara at Thunder's home field had also ended after two rounds. Thunder was actually leading Samsara 2-0 in their non-specialty individual competition.

Howling Wind versus Xingxin, after two rounds of the individual competition, the score was tied 1-1. This kind of back-and-forth score between direct competitors was the most uncomfortable for other opponents. A large score gap would make it easier to surpass them.

There was no good news.

The Hundred Blossoms team, temporarily sitting in ninth place, had no way out.

Victory, they needed victory! If they couldn't score in this round, then their season would probably end here. Hundred Blossoms' next round was an away game against Samsara, so it was really difficult to place hope on the next round.

"Must win!"

Carrying the expectations and hopes of all the Hundred Blossoms players, the Summoner player Zhu Xiaoping stepped onto the stage. And he had to face Qin Muyun of Tyranny, who was so quiet and displayed his strength through positioning.

Zhu Xiaoping knew that this match was crucial, but it was so difficult!

His summoned beasts were completely unable to surround Qin Muyun's Zero Degree Celsius. His precise positioning allowed him to move freely through the summoned beast army, and then his bullets were sent to Zhu Xiaoping's Wind Carving one after another.

The summoned beasts sent out for encirclement were not enough, and Zhu Xiaoping had no energy left to protect himself with summoned beasts. He was in a dilemma, and ultimately lost this crucial third match with great regret.

0 to 3!

Hundred Blossoms was already 0-3 behind, and Tyranny had added insult to injury in a situation that was already as bad as it could be.

Zhu Xiaoping looked miserable when he left the stage. He had failed to live up to the expectations of the entire team and the entire audience. He knew what this defeat meant.

The venue was dead silent. No matter how dissatisfied they were with Hundred Blossoms' performance, the audience had no mood to boo or jeer.

They had to win!

Everyone only had one voice in their hearts: they had to win!

"We can't lose any more points. We must get all the next 7 points. Now is the most important moment of our season. Everyone must concentrate! Victory, we must have victory. Throw all other thoughts out of your head besides this. Don't expect the Tyranny team to relax, they won't, that team never does. We can only take out everything we have and bet it all on this match. This is our own opportunity, we can only rely on ourselves to grasp it. Win, keep winning!" During the short break after the individual competition, Yu Feng desperately cheered for the entire Hundred Blossoms team.

"Go, don't let your opponents look down on you, don't disappoint the fans! Take them down," Yu Feng roared.
