Chapter 141 Against Each Other

Bearing the brunt of Mu Yu Chenfeng's suppressive firepower, Zou Yuan advanced instead of retreating, controlling Hua Fan Jinxiu to push forward, wanting to rush into a range where he could launch an attack.

Under normal circumstances, Zou Yuan's move would inevitably cause a lot of damage to Hua Fan Jinxiu, and whether he could break through Mu Yu Chenfeng's firepower network was also a problem. But now, flash grenades and smoke grenades were both in effect. Mu Yu Chenfeng's offensive continued, but that was Su Mucheng maintaining it with her skillful technique. Zou Yuan did not believe that she could accurately predict his actions when she couldn't see.

Hua Fan Jinxiu charged fiercely, and Mu Yu Chenfeng's offensive indeed had no corresponding adjustments. Su Mucheng had simply expanded the range of firepower coverage in advance. Unable to see, she couldn't accurately grasp Hua Fan Jinxiu's movements to make adjustments.

This kind of attack lacking variation, of course, couldn't stump Zou Yuan. He was now a confident core player. Hua Fan Jinxiu endured the damage and finally rushed into the range where a Launcher could attack.

Raising his gun, an ice bullet was already loaded. Zou Yuan was about to fire when he heard three cannon blasts, and three anti-tank missiles spitting fire tongues flew toward him.

Zou Yuan was shocked. The flash grenade's effect on Mu Yu Chenfeng hadn't disappeared yet. How did Su Mucheng know his movements?

Hua Fan Jinxiu could certainly withstand the damage of anti-tank missiles, but the problem was the impact of the explosions, which would inevitably cause the character to shake. At this time, it was impossible to attack. This was also a major characteristic of gun-wielding classes. Even a normal attack, if it hit accurately, would cause a local stiffening effect. And the Launcher, as the heavy firepower class among the gun-wielding classes, had this characteristic most clearly.

So Zou Yuan had no choice but to have Hua Fan Jinxiu dodge to the side, and then he heard a series of "bang bang bang" sounds. Mu Yu Chenfeng fired a low-trajectory spike bomb, which had already exploded at this time, and the spike projectiles flew in all directions.

Seeing this attack, Zou Yuan immediately understood. Su Mucheng hadn't actually seen Hua Fan Jinxiu's actions, but she knew very well what kind of actions would be a threat to her at this time. So she timed it precisely and made a preemptive attack. As a result, Zou Yuan really had such an idea and was blocked by Su Mucheng with her eyes closed. Want to continue? The effect of the flash grenade had long passed. Su Mucheng saw Hua Fan Jinxiu rushing close, and her attacks were interspersed with aerial artillery maneuvers, the character flying backwards to create distance, and in the blink of an eye, a blanket of firepower suppressed him again.

Zou Yuan really hated this narrow alley. If it weren't for this terrain, he wouldn't be so passive; if it weren't for this terrain, he wouldn't have been blocked by Su Mucheng with her eyes closed; if it weren't for this terrain, he wouldn't be trapped in Mu Yu Chenfeng's artillery suppression once again.

In fact, a Launcher could also cover the firepower in such terrain to make the opponent very helpless, but Su Mucheng fully utilized Mu Yu Chenfeng's range advantage. Facing a fellow ranged class like the Launcher, she actually used distance to suppress him.

Charge forward, and Mu Yu Chenfeng would retreat; retreat backward, and Mu Yu Chenfeng would press forward. The precision of the attack maneuvers made Zou Yuan a little horrified.

Su Mucheng... hadn't played in a professional league for a year, and might be somewhat unsuited to the high-level rhythm for a while, but her personal skills had actually improved in this year. Hua Fan Jinxiu was perfectly locked in this narrow alley by her using the terrain, and Zou Yuan couldn't find any gaps to escape.

Was this Su Mucheng?

The embarrassed Zou Yuan in the artillery fire was a little puzzled.

Personally, he didn't really understand Su Mucheng. He became a professional player in the seventh season, and together with Tang Hao, became a new star player in the Hundred Blossoms team. But with his professional role overlapping with captain Zhang Jiale, he had very few opportunities in that season, not much different from a spectator. As a result, in the eighth season, he suddenly became the protagonist, a hasty protagonist. Zou Yuan was muddled and confused for a season, unable to find his own direction, let alone pay attention to others. By the ninth season, he had become a true protagonist, and in this season, their opponents did not include the name Su Mucheng, so there was no need to spend time studying her.

What kind of player was Su Mucheng?

Zou Yuan's understanding only came from hearsay. He knew that although Su Mucheng had high popularity, she also had a considerable number of people who looked down on her. They thought she scored points with her looks, thought her strength was overestimated, and some even directly said she was a vase. Some radical Excellent Era fans even blamed her for the decline after Excellent Era's three consecutive championships. After all, she joined Excellent Era in the fourth season, and from then on, Excellent Era never won the championship again.

In public opinion, Su Mucheng was a controversial player, but what about in the professional circle? What Zou Yuan knew was that, apart from some ignorant newcomers, no one ever held such a view.

So what about Zou Yuan?

Zou Yuan had to admit that he did have a slight bias against Su Mucheng. And this bias of his didn't come from his subjective opinion, but was objectively instilled.

In the same team, the relationship between newcomers was always inevitably better, and in the year Zou Yuan debuted, his newcomer partner was Tang Hao.

With Tang Hao's temperament, it was not difficult to guess what he would think of a player with such controversy. And Zou Yuan, the rookie who communicated most with Tang Hao, was also influenced by Tang Hao's view of Su Mucheng, and was quite dismissive.

It was just that at that time, they were just two rookies gossiping about players in the circle. Neither he nor Tang Hao was qualified to regard Su Mucheng as an opponent!

By the time the two of them had their own real identities and positions, Su Mucheng had run to the Challenger League to wallow in mediocrity.

Zou Yuan couldn't remember much of the gossip the two rookies had shared in the past. It was just that the ideas that had been nurtured at that time had remained in his heart. However, on the field, Zou Yuan didn't carry such emotions. He wouldn't underestimate any opponent. However, the ability Su Mucheng displayed still greatly surprised him. Obviously, this did not match the strength of Su Mucheng that he had assumed. And this strength of Su Mucheng that he had assumed was inevitably lower because of the prejudice in his heart.

And now, he was completely suppressed by Su Mucheng. Zou Yuan didn't have Tang Hao's arrogant temperament, so he quickly recognized the facts.

But what could he do about it?

It was too late to wake up now. In this duel, Zou Yuan was ultimately unable to turn the tide and was defeated.

In the individual competition, Happy took the lead with a score of 2 to 1. As Happy's home court, it was of course impossible not to have cheers and applause at this time.

Amidst the applause and cheers, Su Mucheng walked out of the competition booth and down to the stage.

She was so calm in the face of victory, just like when she faced those criticisms. She always just smiled and didn't respond.

Because she simply didn't care.

Walking down the stage and back to Happy's player area, she saw Ye Xiu standing there, applauding and welcoming her.

"Hehe." Su Mucheng smiled, reaching out and making a victory V sign.

"Awesome." Ye Xiu praised, "No loopholes at all, suppressed flawlessly, played very well."

"Right?" Su Mucheng smiled like that, sitting next to Ye Xiu. Victory, she would work hard to fight for it, but being by this person's side, she would feel that her efforts were more meaningful.

"Okay, next is the team arena, the players who will be..." Ye Xiu turned to greet the upcoming team arena. Of course, it was impossible for Su Mucheng to play again. She just sat there, propping her chin up, and the smile on her face was even brighter than when she won.

Happy was radiant, but Hundred Blossoms was confused.

They lost 2 points in the individual competition first, and the one who won 1 point also had a confused expression, obviously not in the right state.

"Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng have already played in the individual competition, so we can't lose in the team arena no matter what." Yu Feng said to the two Hundred Blossoms players who would be fighting alongside him in the team arena. The two also nodded firmly, and then looked at Happy's side together.

On Happy's side, the most threatening players, in their opinion, were Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng. Although Fang Rui was also an All-Star level player, he was currently undergoing a professional transition, which was not something that could be fully adjusted quickly. If he was still a Thief, Hundred Blossoms would also list him as the number one dangerous target, but as a Qi Master, he was still somewhat lacking.

There was a short break between the individual competition and the team arena, but the three Hundred Blossoms players were already walking towards the competition booths. The electronic screen on the scene was already displaying the players who would be playing in the team arena on both sides.

Hundred Blossoms Team, Zhou Guangyi, Yu Feng, Zhu Xiaoping.

Happy Team, Fang Rui, Mo Fan, Tang Rou.

In the first round, Fang Rui vs. Zhou Guangyi, the characters of both sides had been logged in, and were in the exhibition stage before the match. The players in the competition booths could also see it through their competition screens. Fang Rui... this Glory's number one Thief, had now become a Qi Master player. To be honest, Zhou Guangyi admired his courage.

Zhou Guangyi was no stranger to Fang Rui. They were both players who debuted in the fifth season. And the opportunities he had when he first debuted were much better than Fang Rui. He was a player in the Tyranny team at that time, and Tyranny had just overthrown the Excellent Era dynasty and won the championship in the fourth season, right at its peak. Zhou Guangyi started in a championship team, and his future was bright.

In the following seasons, Zhou Guangyi's development was smooth, although he did not become a top star, he continued to improve and became a very strong player.

Zhou Guangyi was improving, but Tyranny was declining. After the fourth season, they never made it to the finals again.

Last season, Tyranny made major adjustments, and Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale, two top players, came. Tyranny's intention was clear, to let these veterans shine again in the final stages of their careers. Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale came to shine, and the players watched the excitement, but at this time, there were bound to be some people in the Tyranny team who were inevitably saddened. There were only so many positions in the starting lineup, and if someone came, someone had to leave.

Every player longed for the opportunity to play, so in the last season, Zhou Guangyi finally left the Tyranny team, where he had played for four years, in disappointment. He had always thought that he could play in this team until he retired.
