Chapter 172 Patience

The reactions of the audience in front of the TV could not be fully captured. As for the scene, it was as silent as death.

Most of the audience was focused on this match. What they saw was the two characters meeting, and then Sun Zheping's Zai Shui Yi Xia attacking, attacking, attacking, constantly attacking, until the opponent died.

Did Fang Daxu's knight use any skills?

Everyone's minds were fuzzy. Even if he did, it didn't seem to change anything. He was completely buried by Zai Shui Yi Xia's attacks.

1 minute 17 seconds...

This was the final time for the first individual match. It was not until the statistics showed this final time that the audience began to clutch their heads and go crazy.

Was this at least a professional-level contest? Even if Xuanqi was weak, they were still a professional team, right? Even if no other teams wanted Fang Daxu, he had still been a professional player for two years, right?

1 minute 17 seconds? And he was a knight? He was defeated without any resistance?

Most of the audience had come to see Xingxin make a fool of themselves. At this moment, they couldn't help but boo Xuanqi.

They had seen fast, but they had never seen so fast. A knight with high defense and high health was killed in 1 minute 17 seconds. Did you grab the wrong equipment and wear cloth armor?

Amidst the boos, Sun Zheping had already walked off the stage. As soon as the result of the match was announced, he immediately got up and returned.

"That was fast," Ye Xiu said with a smile, extending his hand to him.

"I want to rest a little earlier." Sun Zheping waved his hand, gave Ye Xiu a high five, sat back in his seat, turned his head to look at Zhang Yiwei over there, and raised his chin, saying, "A knight, huh?"

Zhang Yiwei's face was gloomy. He saw Fang Daxu, a player from their team, walking out of the arena in a daze, listening to the boos that had suddenly increased by several decibels, and walking off the stage in a daze. Seeing his blank look, Zhang Yiwei was really annoyed and wanted to kick him a couple of times. However, he knew better that he couldn't lose his composure at this time, or it would affect the morale of the entire team. Having been a coach for two years, Zhang Yiwei really had a way of leading the team. Although he was furious, he only said lightly to Fang Daxu after he came down, "You were too anxious."

"Huh?" Fang Daxu, who was a little sober, was immediately confused again. Was he anxious? Before he could say anything, Zhang Yiwei continued, "Go and rest for a while!"

Fang Daxu sat aside blankly. He didn't know that this was Zhang Yiwei's art of leading the team. A match in which they were completely overwhelmed by the opponent was described by him as if Fang Daxu had underestimated the enemy and been careless. This not only did not boost the opponent's morale but also reminded the other players not to be careless.

"Luo Tian, it's your turn to go on stage." Zhang Yiwei then called for the second player to appear on stage, his tone calm, concealing the shock in his heart very well. Because he knew very well that Xingxin arranged for Sun Zheping to play first, not only because Sun Zheping needed more rest, but also because they hoped that he could achieve a strong victory to boost their morale and dampen the opponent's fighting spirit.

Zhang Yiwei sent Fang Daxu to fight, not really expecting him to score points, but to use the knight's defensive ability to prolong the first game as much as possible, both to consume Sun Zheping's energy and to frustrate the other side's aggressive formation, which would kill two birds with one stone. As a result, Fang Daxu was so unhelpful that Zhang Yiwei's strategic goals were not achieved at all. He had to use his calmness to reduce the impact of the team's first crushing defeat.

Zhang Yiwei's actions really calmed the Xuanqi team members a lot, but Luo Tian, who was next on stage, was not necessarily any more composed. Sun Zheping's strong performance could not be smoothed over by Zhang Yiwei's attitude and words.

"Play well." Zhang Yiwei didn't say too much to Luo Tian. The more he said, the more likely he would appear flustered. In a match where only 2 points were needed, being too serious might make the players panic.

Luo Tian nodded, took a deep breath, and went on stage.

On Xingxin's side, Zhang Yiwei turned his head and saw that it was Mo Fan who stood up.

"Oh, this guy doesn't seem to have ever played before, right? Why can't he sit still today?" Zhang Yiwei said, trying to put some psychological pressure on Mo Fan. As a result, he saw Mo Fan's expressionless face. He didn't even glance at him and just walked onto the stage, making Zhang Yiwei seriously wonder if he had spoken too quietly just now.

"Hehe, don't mind him. He's like that. He doesn't even pay attention to me on weekdays," Ye Xiu said.

"Hehehe..." Zhang Yiwei chuckled, not believing what Ye Xiu said at all. However, the others in Xingxin thought that Ye Xiu was flattering himself. Mo Fan not only didn't want to pay attention to him, but he simply hated him!

The players for the second match of both sides had entered the arena, and the characters were loading.

Luo Tian of Xuanqi was also a main player who had fought for Xuanqi for two years. His character was an Elementalist.

The live broadcast commentator introduced Luo Tian a few times and then became too lazy to say more about this unknown little character from a relegated team. Instead, he was more interested in Mo Fan and talked endlessly about the deeds of the Deception in the Heavenly Domain.

"Hey, hey, don't lose your position!" The commentator was talking animatedly when the director hurriedly reminded him. The commentator came back to his senses and quickly added, "Of course, we don't encourage this kind of behavior. We still hope that players can play the game in a healthy and harmonious way..."

"Alright, the match has begun. Now let's pay attention to the progress of the match." The commentator knew that he had been a bit unrestrained in talking about scavenging, so he stopped while he was ahead and quickly began to focus on the match.

After the loss in the previous match, the Xuanqi players were much more cautious. Mo Fan was even less famous than Luo Tian in the professional circle, but Luo Tian did not dare to neglect him at all. When he controlled his character to move forward, he used small skills constantly to probe left and right to prevent being approached.

The ninja class is not particularly good at close combat, but stealthy movement and approaching the target are the class's forte. From this point of view, ninjas are quite good at countering classes like elementalists who are afraid of close combat. It is precisely for this reason that players of elementalist classes attach great importance to this aspect of defense. At this time, Luo Tian controlled the elementalist Bu Bu to move forward cautiously, and his operations were all standard and exemplary, but he never saw the figure of the Deception.

The audience outside the arena was clearer about where the Deception was. From the beginning, Mo Fan chose a roundabout route, unexpectedly preparing to sneak attack the opponent.

At this moment, the Deception was secretly eyeing Luo Tian's Elementalist, but Luo Tian had not noticed it yet. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, thinking that the Deception was about to find an opportunity to get close, but the Deception just patiently followed the Elementalist's left and right, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

Everyone had no choice but to continue watching.

"Opportunity!"

"Opportunity!"

"Opportunity!"

The live broadcast commentator had shouted "opportunity" three times, but Mo Fan was indifferent again and again. The live broadcast commentator didn't dare to shout anymore. It was embarrassing for him to shout when it was all thunder and no rain! But even if he didn't shout, he would still count silently in his heart, and not only him, but all the audience were silently counting the Deception's opportunities.

"Still no move..."

"Still no move..."

"Damn, he didn't make a move even now?"

Gradually, more and more people became impatient. The Deception was tracking Luo Tian's Elementalist very well, making the Xuanqi team nervous, but this guy didn't make a move, as if he could win by just following like this.

The Xuanqi people gradually became impatient after being nervous and worried at the beginning. Zhang Yiwei turned his head again and said with a fake smile, "I said, your player is really cautious!"

Cautious? The live broadcast commentator also used this word a minute ago, but now he was embarrassed to use this word again. If this kind of performance was included in the scope of "cautious," then "cautious" would be under a lot of pressure.

"He has enough patience," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Really? Then how long can he follow? Can you tell me? If you don't tell me, I'm really not sure," Zhang Yiwei said.

"Don't worry, he will make a move when he should. Don't think too much, and just prepare to say something to your players after a second consecutive defeat!" Ye Xiu said.

"I won't do such unnecessary things." Zhang Yiwei said, turning his head back and ignoring Ye Xiu.

On the field, the Deception's tracking continued. Luo Tian's Elementalist walked cautiously all the way, and by this time he had already turned to the Deception's spawn point, but he still didn't see the target. Luo Tian was immediately at a loss, not knowing where to go. He turned around helplessly, changed his route, and walked carefully again.

The audience was going crazy.

The previous match was extremely straightforward, and they eliminated the opponent with three strikes and five divisions. Although the result made them unhappy, they at least gave them a quick one. But the second match was in stark contrast to the first one. The straightforwardness of 1 minute and 17 seconds in the previous match had now become endless grinding.

The match had started for more than three minutes. At the professional level, a match would have been decided by this time, but in this match, the two sides had not even exchanged blows once.

Luo Tian's Elementalist was aimlessly wandering around, but the target he was looking for, the Deception, was always nearby, but he didn't know it.

The audience booed again and again, clamoring for Mo Fan to go down. But Mo Fan didn't care at all and continued to follow Luo Tian like this.

"Patience, huh?" Zhang Yiwei turned around again and said in a strange tone.

"Yes, patience," Ye Xiu nodded clearly.

"Just be patient like this endlessly?"

"Of course not. Didn't you see? Many people have already lost their patience." Ye Xiu pointed to the audience who were booing around him. "Those who don't have patience will lose."

After Ye Xiu finished speaking, Zhang Yiwei was suddenly shocked. Looking at the match, Luo Tian had indeed lost his patience, and his operations were becoming more and more perfunctory.

The opportunity has come!
