Chapter 387: Chapter 138: Great Victory! The First Esports Event Ends Perfectly!_7

Steadfast Stance.

That is, when the enemy’s Normal Attacks hit upon the broadsword, there would be no stun inflicted.

Instead, the character wielding the broadsword would raise it horizontally with both hands, absorbing the Ordinary Attack.

Even Canaan’s "Shatter Slash," a blue energy storage skill, could be completely absorbed and countered swiftly with Blue Hegemony.

The heavier the sword, the less need for sharpness—clumsiness may conceal craftiness.

Such a Blue Hegemony blow, if it landed on others, would strip even golden armor of its skin!

Come now, little dagger, it’s really hard to say who will win or lose!

Soon, the two confronted each other in combat.

ZX swiftly struck with the dagger, and as expected.

A hit upon the broadsword made a ’clang!’ as the blades collided!

"Ha! Seeking death!" water fiercely lifted his broadsword, spinning it mightily as if he were pulling up a mountain, swinging it full circle in a wild dance.

Yet, the opponent seemed even more adept with the broadsword than he had imagined!

When striking, it was as if deliberately attempting to trigger his Steadfast Stance.

After a successful hit, rapidly sliding away to escape the reach of the broadsword’s attack.

Subsequently, the high agility of the dagger was displayed!

Following the slide, ZX, controlling Canaan, connected an A-strike with a sudden flash of blue light!

Ghost Return Break!

Gliding in a half arc, the character quickly closed back in. After causing water to flinch, the right mouse button was rapidly pressed to charge.

The dagger gleamed with a chilling light!

The next instant, launching a direct assault, ZX brought water to the ground.

Triple Summer Heat!

Canaan was seen inverting the dagger, locking it against water’s throat while furiously hammering down upon him multiple times.

Without waiting to complete the charged attack, another quick slide step canceled the backswing, followed by a Rising Dragon that sent water soaring high into midair!

"Again??" water was almost numb.

But the good news was,

ZX wasn’t grotesque enough to cling onto the Rising Dragon combo.

However, the bad news was,

water had grossly underestimated the explosive power of the dagger.

After the Rising Dragon, ZX connected with two mid-air strikes, quickly executed a jumping slash followed by two stabs upon landing, then slithered around water like a venomous snake with sliding steps.

Frequently using Ghost Return Break to pull back and forth, causing water to become disoriented, struggling to keep track of Canaan’s movements!

Yet, the opponent could effortlessly find time to relentlessly strike with the dagger!

A touch and go approach; after a hit, never overcommitted and used the high mobility of the dagger to pull back immediately.

Prowling around while always tightly marking water, denying any chance of breakthrough.

Dagger versus broadsword, although it seemed the two weapons weren’t in the same weight class.

ZX, with exceptionally smooth control, made water run in circles, even blocking all possible escape routes.

This displayed an unprecedented level of suppression!

water, already armed with a famously hefty broadsword, looked even more foolish under ZX’s complete encirclement.

This made the three commentators exclaim in admiration of the skill!

water had hoped to use his F Skill, Soul Chaser, which had cooled down, to escape.

Yet,

ZX was clearly a Canaan player with more experience and cunning than him.

No matter which direction water fled, ZX could quickly catch up.

Like a nagging malady, treating water like a cat toying with a mouse, playing him within the palm of a hand.

As the fight went on, water’s morale completely collapsed.

He threw down his keyboard and spread his hands in surrender.

Fuck this! I give up!

Soon, followed by the icy dagger slicing his throat.

water’s screen also turned to gray and white.

He stared blankly at the screen and let out a long sigh.

If the initial two rounds still left room for counterplay,

Then, by the final round of competition, those 47 top players battling out of the Huaxia Nation,

almost perfectly demonstrated what one would call terrifying suppression!

The combination of heroes and weapons was nearly mastered by them, every move and combo executed as naturally as breathing, as if imbued into their very bones!

If the loss in the first round still left water with a glimmer of hope, as the opponents he faced were relying on combos,

One could avoid their combo loops and possibly find opportunities to defeat them one by one.

But in the subsequent rounds, when he faced even more dreadful opponents known for agility, like XiangXiang, AS, and others,

water was only left with a bitter smile.

Have you ever seen a freak who could dodge even three consecutive ordinary worker attacks with agility?

The experience was just like watching a martial arts film!

A swipe cut through the air only to see the opponent nonchalant dodge to the left with ease, casually gliding past the blade without a scratch,

Followed by the second strike of an Ordinary Attack, where the opponent twisted sharply to the right, pulling ghostly afterimages to once again evade the blade!

Their movements were smooth and elegant as if a top-tier dancer was performing the Moonwalk right before him!

This stunned the entire audience!

Beyond the elegant short-flash Dragon Dance,

water found out, even when the two were head-to-head, charging power,

The opponent still had better countermeasures!

Shadow Cover Stage!

To completely bypass any head-on power struggle!

At the moment of charging your power attack, their figure, like a specter, would directly use slide step + charge to move twice in succession, almost instantly circling behind you in 0.5 seconds, causing you to lose sight of them!

By the time you realized what happened, you’d be greeted by a series of vicious combos!

The more water played, the denser the cold sweat on his forehead became.

His hands were trembling slightly.

The gap was too wide!

Until after all six rounds of the match were over.

All three Korean players, without exception, were at the bottom of the scoreboard!

And the first-place champion in solo ranking, who time and again stunned the audience with his ghostly moves, was XiangXiang.

His agility even directly redefined the foundation of combat strategy for the latter half of the game!
