Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1189 A Little Unwell
The setting sun, the tranquil beauty of dusk, was instantly gone. Lin Jingyan's Cold Dark Thunder crawling out of the thick smoke in a sorry state added a tragic touch to the picture.
But it was far from over. Mu Yu Chengfeng's attacks followed one after another, blasting Cold Dark Thunder up and down, dodging and hiding. In a short while, the scenery on the map was destroyed in four more places. This map was beautiful, but the Launcher was a destructive presence on this map, and it happened to be a map that Su Mucheng loved...
Lin Jingyan didn't even have the energy to complain. He was in such a passive situation. Turning around on the whole map, he hardly saw a suitable cover where he could hide and catch his breath. Everything on this map was simply nonexistent in the face of the Launcher's artillery fire.
What a fragile little village!
This was the only sigh left for Lin Jingyan now.
Would he lose like this?
Lin Jingyan couldn't help but think so. If he lost, the media, reporters, commentators, players, many people, would start pointing out his age again, right?
Actually, did he need them to be so talkative? He knew his own condition better than anyone else. Old? Old my head! He wasn't even 30 years old yet, okay?
Lin Jingyan's personality was relatively gentle. Faced with various doubts and provocations, he usually didn't have any strong responses. But no response didn't mean he had no thoughts. Lin Jingyan felt that he was still okay, that he could still fight.
Was he really still okay, or... was it unwillingness driving him to make such an assertion? Sometimes Lin Jingyan himself wasn't sure, but he still trusted his feelings during a match.
This match was difficult. But it was definitely not because of his age.
Su Mucheng launched a very coherent offensive on this map, and all the scenes could be her attacking aid. And Lin Jingyan was indeed not very familiar with this map. But it was useless to be familiar now, the scenes on this map had been almost destroyed.
It must be that kid Fang Rui. Lin Jingyan could guess, but this kind of "betrayal" was a matter of course. He had also contributed a lot of Fang Rui's information to Team Tyranny, possibly more than Fang Rui provided about him. After all, he had watched Fang Rui grow from a green rookie, through several twists and turns, before choosing the Thief class. Looking down saw more than looking up.
Was there really no flaw he could exploit?
Lin Jingyan had not given up, using his Glory wisdom accumulated over eight years.
Thick smoke, thick smoke, thick smoke...
Everywhere the Launcher had bombed was filled with thick smoke.
Then, the wind direction on this map...
Lin Jingyan observed every detail. Behind him, the artillery fire continued to boom, Su Mucheng was chasing very closely.
Lin Jingyan controlled Cold Dark Thunder and passed through a cloud of thick smoke. As if it were a smoke bomb effect, Cold Dark Thunder disappeared as soon as he passed through the smoke.
Su Mucheng quickly adjusted Mu Yu Chengfeng's position.
Over here, two points and a line... Lin Jingyan calculated, and continued to move Cold Dark Thunder.
Still nothing?
Su Mucheng operated Mu Yu Chengfeng to pull open the angle. Cold Dark Thunder was still nowhere to be seen.
Next step, he can go this way… Half of it was blown up, a little low, if he crouched... his head would show. Too bad he didn’t know the Gunner's sliding shovel! Okay, he could only splurge…
With absolutely no target in front of him, Cold Dark Thunder suddenly started the Overlord Chain Punch.
This skill was to knock a person to the ground and beat them wildly. Naturally, there would be a forward rush to knock the person down. So this pouncing action, like crawling forward, sent Cold Dark Thunder past this half-wall.
Over here again…
Lin Jingyan continued to calculate cautiously.
Su Mucheng lost track of Cold Dark Thunder and was a little surprised.
He disappeared right under her nose just like that? Su Mucheng had no clue and could only search around.
The audience had the most clues. The God's-eye view let them know that Cold Dark Thunder was currently flanking. It was just that Lin Jingyan's choice of route, why couldn't Su Mucheng discover him? Even if the electronic screen showed Su Mucheng's perspective, without a certain ability to construct the image in their minds, they couldn't imagine the principle behind it.
Lin Jingyan flanking, with his patient persistence, actually succeeded.
The audience at the scene exclaimed, and the home fans were a little touched. Team Tyranny fans cheered and applauded as if they had won the lottery.
In fact, even if the flank was successful, Lin Jingyan was still far from it! Completing a beautiful backstab might not completely close the gap between him and Su Mucheng at this time.
He had been passive for too long! Lin Jingyan knew it very well in his heart, so he cherished this hard-won opportunity even more. He was careful and silent as Cold Dark Thunder walked forward.
Powerful Knee Strike!
Lin Jingyan finally launched an attack. Cold Dark Thunder, who had disappeared in Su Mucheng's eyes for a long time, suddenly appeared, but had already flown behind Mu Yu Chengfeng, his knee heavily striking Mu Yu Chengfeng's heart. His right hand had already grabbed a brick, and after the brick fell, Mu Yu Chengfeng lost health and was stunned.
The combo began!
One hit, two hits, three hits...
The system's statistics of the combo count jumped, Lin Jingyan played meticulously. The accuracy of an old general's operation was still quite guaranteed. Although their hands were slow, they were often more stable.
It was too exaggerated to have the system determine a combo that directly took away the opponent. Pro players might be able to do that against regular players, but it was impossible to pull off such a dazzling feat in mutual competition.
That was why pseudo-combos appeared. In the connection of attacks, the role of pseudo-combos was extraordinary.
Lin Jingyan's pseudo-combo skills were of course also extraordinary. The combo had been interrupted twice, but the attack momentum was continued under the skillful pseudo-combo connection.
Slap, uppercut, sand toss, Mountain Block, and then throw a Molotov cocktail…
Lin Jingyan adjusted his attack methods according to different situations.
But after the sand toss, followed by Mountain Block, Mu Yu Chengfeng suddenly fired a shot in mid-air.
The powerful recoil changed Mu Yu Chengfeng's position in the air. But Mountain Block came very quickly, waving his arm, scooping towards Mu Yu Chengfeng in mid-air.
A grenade flew from Mu Yu Chengfeng's hand.
Lin Jingyan ignored it. He would not give up the ongoing offensive to avoid this attack.
Mountain Block, he must block her!
Lin Jingyan gritted his teeth, swinging the mouse, Cold Dark Thunder's arm swung rapidly.
Boom!
The light and shadow of the grenade explosion swallowed Cold Dark Thunder.
He didn't hit... This Mountain Block finally scooped air, the grenade exploded on Cold Dark Thunder, and Mu Yu Chengfeng's follow-up attack also arrived, the counterattack began.
Lin Jingyan felt a little sad.
Didn't block it?
If it were before…
Yes, being suppressed by Su Mucheng at the beginning was not his age's fault. But this time, this Mountain Block missed precisely because his reaction, his hand speed, had both declined...
Uppercut, sand toss, and then Mountain Block, had his combo already left an opening?
It was a very sad thing to realize one's shortcomings in actual combat. Especially, there was no room for improvement in this shortcoming. To discover a shortcoming was probably to be unable to fix it forever. This was brought about by time, and no one could reverse time.
Cold Dark Thunder began to be in a mess again.
Lin Jingyan, who realized that he was a little bit not up to par, also had a bit of scattered attention. He failed to regain the situation, and Su Mucheng won the first individual match.
The audience applauded.
Scattered, disorganized fans could still unite very well at this time to release their enthusiasm.
Su Mucheng went off the stage, waving to the audience.
Lin Jingyan went off the stage, a wry smile on his face.
This time, even if he was sprayed again, there was no way to refute it.
Was he really not up to it anymore? Lin Jingyan raised his head to look at the scoreboard above the arena. Tyranny 0, Happy 1.
It was just 1 point.
The gap wasn't that big!
It was still early! Lin Jingyan suddenly figured it out again. Since this combo had an opening, he needed to pay more attention when using it in the future. What methods could he use to make up for this opening? How would this opening affect him when facing different classes? In team battles, did this opening need to remind teammates to cover and cooperate...
After returning, he needed to study it carefully!
Lin Jingyan thought, and had already returned to the player area.
"Good positioning," Zhang Jiale praised him.
"Haha!" Lin Jingyan smiled. Yes, that segment of positioning was really good. While he was losing some things, he was also gaining some things! When he could flawlessly complete the high-speed combo of uppercut, sand toss, and Mountain Block, could he make such positioning?
"Next, watch me!" Zhang Jiale gave Lin Jingyan a thumbs up, and Lin Jingyan returned one to him.
The second individual match.
Team Tyranny's player, Zhang Jiale, character Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, Sharpshooter.
Team Happy's player, Ye Xiu, character Lord Grim, Unspecialized.
"Oh, it's actually you." Zhang Jiale said when shaking hands before entering the match.
"Scared, right? Kneel!" Ye Xiu said.
"We'll see who kneels in a while," Zhang Jiale said.
"Unfathomable confidence," Ye Xiu shook his head and sighed.
How could a dignified god's confidence be unfathomable? Ye Xiu's mockery was completely unfounded.
"Damn it." As a result, Zhang Jiale cursed sullenly. Because he knew that if they fought one-on-one, his win rate was really not very high.
His Hundred Blossoms style of play was to confuse the opponent and cover himself. But Ye Xiu was the Glory textbook, and his level as a Sharpshooter was also extraordinary. He could more easily see through the skill composition of Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style of play than others, and then interpret where the secret to the illusory cover was.
There was a reason why he was able to break through the Dazzling Blood Flowers alone back then.
However, the past was the past, and now was now.
He hadn't fought yet, who knew?
Zhang Jiale shrugged and entered his competition seat.
The second individual match began.
