The battle was a blur to the viewers .
This team competition had too many changes happening too quickly .
Neither side had a fixed strategy . In other words, when facing each other, there was no single path that could go all the way . It could only go back and forth with both sides constantly adjusting to each other's reactions .
Who was winning? Who was losing?
In terms of offense, Blue Rain had the greater initiative . Happy's formation was somewhat in disarray . However, the more attentive viewers may have realized that Blue Rain had started with the tailwind advantage, but now?
Not really .
Swoksaar's curses wouldn't be strengthened by the gale . In fact, Swoksaar was positioned more defensively . Their healer, Xu Jingxi's Soul Speaker, was also positioned more defensively .
The impact of the wind on Blue Rain's offense was practically zero . On the other hand, Happy's Boundless Sea was taking advantage of the wind for his attacks .
Yu Wenzhou had Swoksaar move to not give Fang Rui any opportunities to attack him . But Boundless Sea simply waved his hands in a different direction and shot out a Qi Bullet as fast as a meteor .
Zheng Xuan's Bullet Rain dodged in a flurry . After getting sent flying by Boundless Sea, he had paid great attention to his existence! That guy knew how to put on an act . He looked like he was moving to attack Swoksaar, when he suddenly turned and fired at Bullet Rain .
Zheng Xuan wanted revenge . Bullet Rain fired back at Boundless Sea .
But because of the effects of the gale, Bullet Rain's gunshot . . .
"Hahahaha," Fang Rui laughed in the chat . Boundless Sea slid his palms across .
Qi Blade!
Qi Blade was a difficult-to-react-to skill in the first place . The gale only made it even harder . Zheng Xuan didn't have time to think . Before even seeing it come out, he had Bullet Rain roll .
Did the Qi Blade come?
Zheng Xuan didn't notice any changes in his surroundings . Suddenly, Swoksaar stumbled and nearly fell to the ground .
What's going on?
Everyone was dumbstruck . Lord Grim? Dancing Rain? Steamed Bun Invasion? None of them had attacked Swoksaar . That meant it could have only been Boundless Sea .
"Don't underestimate me!" Fang Rui's Boundless Sea had intentionally kept the same posture as when he had sent out the Qi Blade . His two hands weren't facing Swoksaar .
But from the wind, they realized what had happened .
Boundless Sea had accounted for the effects of the winds in his calculations . He knew the Qi Blade would fly diagonally from where he was aiming towards Swoksaar .
The strong winds could shift the movements of the Qi Blade, but it could not disperse the qi itself . With the wind, the Qi Blade's momentum was even stronger .
It was just that this sort of calculative ability . . . this was clearly the map that Blue Rain had chosen . If their Qi Master, Song Xiao, had been the one to make such an accurate shot, it wouldn't have been too surprising . But, Fang Rui . . .
Fang Rui had been completely invisible before . The broadcast had given him very little screen time .
At this moment, the director went back to check Fang Rui's movements from before . He realized that Fang Rui's Boundless Sea hadn't just been moving . He had been sending qi out as he moved .
Fang Rui had been measuring the effects of the wind on his qi . His accuracy wasn't without reason . However, figuring out the wind in such a short amount of time couldn't be done without talent .
The invisible Fang Rui and Boundless Sea immediately became the star of the show .
Amidst the winds, Boundless Sea assumed his dirty pose, half-crouching . His hands were raised to his chest, gathering swirling qi from the surroundings . Fang Rui's incomparably dirty Qi Master suddenly looked to have the air of a great scholar again .
This was . . .
Qi Master Level 75 skill, a skill that had a cast time . It could be charged . At this point, Blue Rain no longer had time to interrupt it . Even so, they still had to do something . If they couldn't interrupt it, they couldn't just let Fang Rui's Boundless Sea keep charging it, right?
Thousand Chants in Full Bloom!
Before Blue Rain attacked, Boundless Sea released the skill . It was only one palm, but all of the qi that had accumulated burst out, similar to Flash Burst . However, Flash Burst only a single burst of qi, while Thousand Chants in Full Bloom was like a flower .
Numerous bullets sprayed out and then scattered throughout the field because of the wind .
Bullet Rain, Swoksaar, and Soul Speaker were all within this rain of qi . Thousand Chants in Full Bloom originally didn't cover a large area, but because of the wind, using the word scattered to described these bullets of qi was perfectly appropriate .
Of Blue Rain's three characters, Swoksaar was in the center of the meteor shower . There was no place for him to dodge . The bullets of qi along with the added force of the wind forced Swoksaar back .
The other two, Xu Jingxi and Zheng Xuan, had to give up what they were doing before to dodge the attack .
For a moment, Fang Rui's Boundless Sea had stopped all three alone!
It was only for a short moment, but these opportunities didn't come by easily .
Boom boom boom!
The sounds of cannonfire suddenly became even more compact .
Bullet Rain and Swoksaar had been pinned down in succession . Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain had suddenly shifted targets . Her target was no longer Troubling Rain, but Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud .
Lu Hanwen wasn't too bothered by it . He had noticed the attacks and dodged them .
Steamed Bun Invasion now had room to breathe and immediately became more boisterous .
"Leo, let me fix you up!" Steamed Bun shouted in the chat . He had received Ye Xiu's orders . Once he found an opening, he would immediately attack Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain .
The crowd booed .
Who are you? You say you're going to fix up the Sword Saint? Even if the battle had taken a turn, haven't you heard the phrase "having an unfair advantage"?
The crowd couldn't admire Steamed Bun's delight at all . But they could see that with Steamed Bun Invasion move towards Huang Shaotian, the connection between him and Lord Grim had been reestablished .
"He's all yours, Steamed Bun!" Ye Xiu immediately called out in the chat . Afterwards, Lord Grim tried to retreat .
"Leo, do you dare to fight 300 exchanges with me?" Steamed Bun challenged, while throwing a Brick towards the back of Troubling Rain's head .
Huang Shaotian had been checking his surroundings . When he saw the Brick, he had Troubling Rain tilt his head . It seemed like he had no intentions of letting Lord Grim go .
But then . . .
Pai .
Not a brick, but a slap on the face .
If it was a Brawler's Slap, Lord Grim could do it too . He had pretended to retreat . Taking advantage of Huang Shaotian dodging Steamed Bun Invasion's Brick, he suddenly came out with a slap .
As soon as the attack hit, the combo began .
With a hook, Troubling Rain was sent flying into the air . As for the follow-up attacks, not even the fastest mouth could narrate every attack .
Unspecialized Blitz!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella kept changing forms, keeping Troubling Rain tumbling in the air .
This combo couldn't last that long though . After all, Fang Rui's Boundless Sea couldn't just spam Thousand Chants in Full Bloom . Blue Rain's three players had been positioned scattered apart . No matter how well Fang Rui took advantage of the wind, he couldn't keep all three under control .
Bullet Rain's rescue soon arrived . Huang Shaotian used the opening to escape . But what should they do next? For a moment, Blue Rain didn't seem to have a direction .
Happy's broken formation had now been re-formed .
Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion were together alongside each other . Su Mucheng had the long-ranged support . An Wenyi was in the middle as the healer, getting protection from two sides . And although Fang Rui was deep in enemy territory alone, he had the wind on his side and had nothing to fear .
What should they do?
Quite a few viewers were looking at Team Blue Rain's chat .
At this moment, Blue Rain should have some idea on what to do, right? Their previous plans seemed to have been broken apart one by one .
Some people looked at the health on both teams . After comparing them, they saw which side had won the exchange .
"Coach Li, what are your thoughts?" Pan Lin asked Li Yibo this question .
"It's still too early to say, but what Blue Rain does next will be crucial to how the rest of the match plays out," Li Yibo said .
"Of course," Li Yibo immediately added, "It's also important to see how Happy is able to take advantage of this situation . "
Sure enough, Happy didn't disappoint Li Yibo . After breaking apart Blue Rain's tactics one by one, it was time for their counterattack .
Even though Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain had been rescued from Lord Grim's combo because of his teammates, Happy had no plans of letting him escape .
Troubling Rain became Happy's focus point . Lord Grim's attacks became the lead for the entire team .
"Take my fist, Leo!" Steamed Bun continued to shout . Previously, he had been ridiculing Blue Rain for teaming up on him, but he had no problems teaming up on Huang Shaotian .
Blue Rain's fans had already started booing . They were worried for Huang Shaotian!
But at this moment, Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud broke through Su Mucheng's zoning, his greatsword coming to the rescue .
Meteor Form!
Flowing Cloud's greatsword, Flame Shadow, was fast . Along with the explosions from behind, he blazed across the field into the enemy lines .
"Wow, this kid's pretty impressive," Steamed Bun was put in a difficult situation because of the attack .
They couldn't bother trash talking Steamed Bun . Lu Hanwen could actually be considered a senior . They were amazed that Steamed Bun could actually dodge that sudden attack .
"If he had been wielding a lightsaber . . . " Li Yibo spoke halfway through before stopping himself . He realized that he seemed to say those words a bit too much . It was like he was criticizing Lu Hanwen for choosing a greatsword over a lightsaber . In reality, Lu Hanwen used his greatsword to great effect, accomplishing things that couldn't be done by a lightsaber . Li Yibo only felt it was a pity that the attack speed was slow .
"Kid, I admire you! You've at least got more guts than that Leo! You're a worthy opponent!" Steamed Bun continued to chatter .
"Fuck, you bastard, I've endured long enough . Come here and let me hack you into pieces!!!!" Insulted without even being in the conversation, Huang Shaotian finally couldn't bear it anymore .
