Chapter 1036 Does This Count as a One-Versus-Three?

Chapter 1549 0.03%

On the field, the one standing at the end was Lord Grim. One Autumn Leaf fell at his feet. This character, who once brought countless glories to Ye Xiu, was now his opponent, personally defeated by him.

Silence filled the stadium. Even the few supporters of Team Happy forgot to cheer at this moment.

Did they win?

They were somewhat in disbelief. One Autumn Leaf's Coiling Dragon Ascends to the Heavens was incredibly fierce. The Dragon Raises its Head, followed by the Dragon Turns its Head—this exaggerated change made them think Lord Grim was about to fall. But now, the character standing on the field was indeed Lord Grim. What exactly happened at that moment?

The television broadcast was tirelessly replaying that instant. In comparison, Ye Xiu's final kill on One Autumn Leaf wasn't much to see. He simply seized One Autumn Leaf's post-attack stiffness and used a simple combo. With both sides having low health, a simple combo was enough to take One Autumn Leaf away.

What the television repeatedly showed was Lord Grim's positioning, and then the instant he used his back to block Coiling Dragon Ascends to the Heavens and Dragon Turns its Head.

0. 03% health. The camera intentionally or unintentionally kept giving Lord Grim's health bar a close-up shot.

"A wonderful block, but it also carried a great risk. The final 0.03% of health demonstrates this. If there had been a slight mistake in that block, we would have seen a different result," Pan Lin said, emerging from his disappointment and continuing his commentary in coordination with the broadcast. Personally, he didn't favor either Ye Xiu or Sun Xiang. But from a media perspective, Sun Xiang's Dragon Turns its Head to kill Ye Xiu was obviously a more sensational topic. Pan Lin, from the perspective of someone in the media, was hoping for a more exciting and newsworthy performance. The current situation left him a little regretful, but undeniably, it was an incredibly exciting duel.

"Director Li, with 0.03% health, do you think Ye Xiu calculated it perfectly, or was it luck?" Pan Lin asked.

"..." Li Yibo was annoyed. Could Ye Xiu please not make him guess his intentions?

Seeing Li Yibo frown and remain silent for a long time, Pan Lin immediately pretended that his previous words were just a sigh and switched to another topic.

In the audience stands, the three players from Team Tiny Herb were engaged in an in-depth discussion on this issue.

"Impossible, right? 0.03% health, how precise would the calculation have to be? I think it was luck," Liu Xiaobie said. As a Swordsman player, he had studied the Block skill extensively and knew its difficulty.

"Under normal circumstances, it's very difficult, but Ye Xiu should be very familiar with his opponent's character, right? So it's possible that he could calculate it so accurately," Xu Bin said.

"But One Autumn Leaf seems a little different from what we've seen before, right?" Gao Yingjie said.

"Uh, indeed," Xu Bin nodded.

"So, it's still luck, right?" Liu Xiaobie said.

"I'm not sure... In short, as an opponent, we really can't be careless," Xu Bin said.

"Will he become our opponent?" Liu Xiaobie muttered softly. Ye Xiu's victory did change the atmosphere of the entire stadium, but the problem was that Happy was still behind. Team Excellent Era still had two players who hadn't entered the field, while on Happy's side? Lord Grim's 0.03% health could be considered non-existent... Even if he hid in the respawn point to recover his health again, the opponent probably wouldn't give him much time. Moreover, Hope's Chant was still on cooldown. The individual competition wouldn't restore any of the character's stats. All conditions are immediately saved at the end of the match and then directly carried over to the next match.

Happy's disadvantaged situation hadn't completely changed. As a veteran professional team, Excellent Era probably wouldn't be too shaken by the loss of a single match, even if the one who lost was their ace player.

Liu Xiaobie wasn't wrong in thinking that, but he overlooked the relationship between Ye Xiu and Excellent Era.

If any other player had defeated Sun Xiang at this time, Excellent Era could have adjusted to a normal mindset and continued to grasp the advantage. But the one who defeated Sun Xiang was Ye Xiu, the player who was replaced by Sun Xiang. Now he defeated Sun Xiang on the field, there were too many implications contained within.

The moment One Autumn Leaf fell, Excellent Era's boss, Tao Xuan, almost went crazy. The importance of this duel in his mind was as important as winning the entire finals, but it ended in such a way... Lord Grim's health was only 0.03%. Such details probably wouldn't be emphasized by anyone. Ye Xiu won, Sun Xiang lost, that was the outcome. Given this result, the issue of Lord Grim's starting state being unsatisfactory was more likely to be brought up and discussed. Tao Xuan could imagine that he would have to face many sharp questions from the media regarding this match, and how should he explain it then?

Tao Xuan's face was extremely unsightly at this moment. The other Excellent Era players subconsciously kept their distance from the boss. At this time, Sun Xiang finally walked out from the Excellent Era's player seat, his eyes filled with disbelief. He actually lost, facing a character with lower combat power than One Autumn Leaf and with health and mana that weren't full. He still lost to Ye Xiu.

Why was this happening?

Was he really inferior to him?

This was the first time Sun Xiang had such doubts about himself, because this time, he couldn't find any reason to gloss over it. His gaze turned to the opposite side, the Happy's player seat. As a result, he saw Ye Xiu also coming out of the player seat.

Sun Xiang was stunned.

Why did Ye Xiu come out too? Leaving the player seat during a match was prohibited. By doing this, he was giving up the chance to play in the next round!

As a result, the referee had already jogged all the way to Happy's player seat.

"What's going on? You know that it's forbidden to leave the player seat during a match, right?" the referee asked. This was absolutely not allowed according to the rules, but some emergencies had to be treated differently, such as if a player had some physical anomaly, so the referee still asked first.

"I know, but I only have that little health left. There's no point in continuing, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"Can't you... you know...?" The referee was really reserved, not even daring to say the words "recover health" or "recover mana."

"Haha, alright, I've already achieved an "one versus three," let's leave some opportunities for others!" Ye Xiu said as he walked off the stage. This action could only be judged as him being eliminated, and there were no other penalties.

As a result, the referee was stunned in place at this time.

"One versus three? When did he achieve one versus three? Did I travel through time and miss a match?"

He was wondering! At this time, the electronic scoreboard also showed the statistics up to the current point of the individual competition. The referee glanced at it and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

From the meticulous system statistics, it could be clearly seen that Lord Grim vs. Life Extinguisher, Lord Grim won.

So, from the system's point of view, Ye Xiu had achieved an "one versus three." This was indeed true. Xiao Shiqin and Life Extinguisher were eliminated in their duel with him!

But the problem was, what was the situation of that match? Who didn't know? Xiao Shiqin came up and symbolically used up his mana. The two sides didn't cause any effective damage at all. Xiao Shiqin then typed "gg" and quit the match. The system calculated this as a victory, but how could the players themselves be embarrassed to calculate it?

One versus three, this also counts as one versus three?
