Chapter 438 - The Opponent Is Too Strong (1/2)

Loulan Slash’s group were even more shocked this time.

If Little Bei’s Homeward Bound had lost without much suspense, then Ocean Ahead had lost in an almost ugly way.

Being directly comboed to death in the air was something that was rarely seen in the Pro Alliance. No matter how amazing a G.o.d was compared to an aspiring pro player without any experience, the gap shouldn’t be that large.

“What happened?” Loulan Slash asked when Ocean Ahead came down from the field.

“His timing is too good. He predicted what I was planning on doing every time.” Ocean Ahead said.

“What you were planning on doing?”

“Yes, he saw through it all.” Ocean Ahead said. Just from this, it could be seen that their skill wasn’t ordinary. They at least understood what went wrong when they lost.

“Little Ye, you go next!” Loulan Slash said in a heavy voice. Whether they won or lost wasn’t something they cared about, but losing two matches in a row so miserably was a bit shameful. Even if their opponent was a G.o.d, they weren’t regarding themselves as normal players. Their goal was to become pro players. For pro players to have such a large gap between them, wouldn’t that be a joke?

“Okay.”

The player called Little Ye played on a Grappler called Night Tide.

“Little Ye, good luck!” Little Bei cheered. Night Tide didn’t make any small talk with Ye Xiu like Ocean Ahead before him. He entered the match and the two quickly began fighting.

For this match, Night Tide had completely eliminated his att.i.tude of just playing for fun and giving it a try. He was taking it seriously as if it were a real match.

Grapplers were a cla.s.s that required to be in a close range to do anything. Ye Xiu continued his previous strategy when he was against Ocean Ahead. He used Elementalist and Witch low-leveled skills to maintain a distance between them, while being prepared to use Battle Mage attacks at any moment.

This match wasn’t as lopsided as the previous two matches. Loulan Slash could finally relax. Little Bei and Ocean Ahead were feeling a bit embarra.s.sed. Night Tide wasn’t any better than them. It was clearly a matter of att.i.tude. If they had taken it seriously, they wouldn’t have lost so easily to the G.o.d.

Of course, their unpreparedness was another important reason. In a situation where both sides lacked information, Ye Xiu’s experience as a G.o.d was a huge advantage.

Although Night Tide had lost, he had lost in an acceptable manner. After he came down, Loulan Slash personally went up to fight.

There was still one more player in their group of five called Thousand Falling Leaves, a female. Her cla.s.s was a Cleric and it didn’t seem like she was going to go up and fight. This meant that she was a support Cleric. Fighting 1v1 was pointless.

“G.o.d, please instruct me!” Loulan Slash said.

“Sure, sure. In the Fixed Field, your Swordpoint is a bit of a waste.” Ye Xiu said. In the Fixed Field, the stats of each character were adjusted, so both sides were at the same level. Swordpoint converted the item hotkeys into physical attack, but this value would be adjusted, so the two sides’ stats would still be on the same level. As a result, he wouldn’t be able to showcase Swordpoint’s incredible damage.

“We’re testing for skill, no? Equipment isn’t important.” Loulan Slash said.

“Taking advantage of Swordpoint’s power is one way to showcase skill!” Ye Xiu said.

“Mm.” Loulan Slash nodded his head. He had obviously done his research when he chose this weapon. This didn’t mean that he should raise his physical attack to the limit. If all 12 item hotkeys were filled with weapons, then the weight would be too much of a burden. Thus, how many item hotkeys should be filled required a lot of experimenting.

However, in the Fixed Field, none of this mattered. Loulan Slash said a “Let’s start” and then the two began fighting.

Loulan Slash didn’t dare be careless and fought seriously like Night Tide.

“Oh oh…….. You’re okay. You’re a bit better than those three.” Ye Xiu commented, while fighting.

“Thank you!” Loualn Slash replied. But this wasn’t any news to them. They had sparred against each other many times before, so they knew who was better and who was weaker.

“It seems like G.o.d is still better though.” Loulan Slash followed. Halfway into the battle, from their respective health left as well as the circ.u.mstances, Loulan Slash was in a disadvantageous position.

“I should be.” Ye Xiu laughed.

There wasn’t any twist to this match as it quietly ended. In the end, Loulan Slash wasn’t able to take a match from Ye Xiu’s hands. Four of their players had went up to fight, but all of them had lost. Even though they said that winning or losing didn’t matter, it was still a bit hit to their confidence.

Before, they had only looked at videos, watched match VODs, and then compared themselves to the pro players and G.o.ds. This was their first time fighting against a genuine pro G.o.d and truly experienced the gap between them. It wasn’t important that none of them were able to take a match. The important point was that the gap in skill they had felt from these matches wasn’t something that could easily be closed.

At this moment, they lacked the fearlessness of youth that Tang Rou had even when she couldn’t see the gap.

“Again?” Loulan Slash discussed with his teammates, when he heard Ye Xiu ask happily: “Would you like to challenge any other cla.s.s?”

“Uh……. how about your Lord Grim!” Loulan Slash finally said after discussing with his team.

“Oh, that…… that’ll be even tougher.” Ye Xiu said. He switched accounts and logged onto Lord Grim. The 20 level gap was adjusted by the Fixed Field. Loulan Slash went with the same arrangement as before and each player fought one match.
