Chapter 166.1: Sure enough, it was great watching beasts screw up.
The fierceness of the audience’s mockery of Wei Xiao’s four starting talents at the start was now equal to how awestruck they felt now.
How cool!
The cold shadow thief, the fairy-like immortal warlock, the light and agile storm hunter, and the aggressive and overbearing blood warrior.
There were contrasts everywhere, and watching it was very inspiring no matter what talent he switched to!
Without mentioning the audience, even the players across from them were muddled.
This person didn’t have a team name ID. There was a flying warrior, a berserker thief, and a death knight.
The numbers after their ID were all 4, which meant that at the very least, their current talent specs had fully unlocked skills. As for their other talents…
Not everyone was as ‘murderous’ as Wei Little Xiao, and being able to start unlocking their third talent’s skills was already going up against the heavens.
Of course, Wei Xiao hadn’t yet unlocked all the skills for all four of his talents.
He’d only clicked open the storm hunter’s first skill, while his shadow thief, immortal warlock, and blood warrior were all fully unlocked.
3v1, and he also had to ensure that Yan Jiang wasn’t injured. This situation seemed a bit difficult.
The live broadcast room was noisy and lively, “Does anyone know the details for these three people?”
“I’m not sure. We’re not clear about the situation for the other competition zones.”
It was just like how the audience in the other competition zones hadn’t known about Close’s heavenly group in advance. As long as the gossip from the other competition zones wasn’t about god level players, the regular audience naturally wouldn’t be very clear about it.
Of course, when it came to such details, they could find out if they wanted to.
Wei Xiao was going up one against three, but he didn’t back down at all. While the other side was still in a daze, he used a blood stab to split the air, aiming at the berserker thief who had the lowest health among the three!
These three opponents were all using top solo talents, and each and every one of them were good fighters. If Wei Xiao didn’t take the initiative, there might really be a chance that he’d screw up.
The blood stab accurately landed on the berserker thief’s chest, and a blood mark flickered over his head. Wei Xiao waited until they started to move, then used ‘blood cut’ in a semicircular attack.
Blood stab was a single target attack, while blood cut was an AOE skill.
The three people were standing close to each other. They were all hit, and they all suffered from the rend effect.
This series of actions were executed extremely quickly, within a single second. Seeing that Wei Xiao was accumulating power, these three people finally started recovering their wits.
Damn it!
What was going on with this blood warrior!
It was one against three, yet he didn’t run. Was he trying to get a triple kill?!
If Wei Xiao could hear their thoughts, there was a high chance that he would type out the line: “I really do want to.”
Although these three players were lucky players, they were still big gods who were famous in the casual ranked game circle.
Even if there was a wall between casual player kings and professional players, it was impossible for the three of them to be bullied by a single person.
They were much more experienced than the two who’d formed an alliance earlier on. The three of them spread out to avoid hurting their teammates by mistake, and they also gave themselves enough room to avoid Wei Xiao’s skills.
Wasn’t it just a blood warrior?
It was a short-ranged melee talent. The berserker thief and death knight’s range were longer than the blood warrior’s and they also had a flying warrior who could use his great mobility to add damage. Killing him would be a piece of cake.
The commentator sighed. “At this time, the advantages of Quiet’s four talent choices becomes clear.”
The blood warrior switched talents again. The bloody red fog turned white, and the immortal warlock drifted down.
The team of three: “!”
First it was the storm hunter, then the blood warrior, and now the immortal warlock?
What the hell?
At this point, the three people naturally had no way to communicate with each other. Even so, there was no need to type as they all had the same idea: Don’t panic. This person may have Close in his name, but he wasn’t actually Close after all. Across the whole Glory circle, there couldn’t be anyone else who could master these three talents at the same time, so this player had to be fishing in muddy waters!
And then, they were slapped in the face by a thousand layers of clouds.
In the end, they were still casual players. Coupled with their initial carelessness, they grew desperate. The flying warrior’s hand shook, and he switched to his own support talent.
His health had dropped to 50%. It seemed that switching to his support talent to heal himself wasn’t a bad idea.
However…
A support talent had no DPS!
Wei Xiao finished using all the skills on his immortal warlock and happened to arrive near the berserker thief.
The immortal warlock switched to the storm hunter and used an arrow to take away the berserker thief’s life. At the same time, rain covered the area within ten yards as he stepped on raindrops and arrived in front of the death knight.
The death knight reacted quickly and switched to his heavy form that had higher defense…
The storm hunter switched to the blood warrior again. Wei Xiao used the phantom skill and struck from the front and back, his bloody sword stabbing through the death knight’s armor causing scarlet blood to gush out from the wound.
Although Wei Xiao appeared to be suppressing his three opponents and beating them up with such a flashy talent rotation and all sorts of skills that could be used at will, he’d also been injured in the fight.
The berserker thief and death knight’s skills were at least able to scratch him, and it was inevitable that he would be injured no matter what. Not to mention, he also had to protect Yan Jiang, who was standing behind him, and ensure that he wasn’t harmed by any ranged skills.
Wei Xiao’s health had dropped down to 60%, but when he and his phantom stabbed the death knight at the same time, his HP began to rise up again.
Once the blood warrior and his phantom hit the same target at the same time, the phantom could convert the damage dealt into health and return it to his master.
The death knight fell, and Wei Xiao was once again at full health.
On the withered branches, the flying warrior who’d switched back to his attack talent had a face full of confusion.
Shit.
Where had this immortal come from?!
“Ah…”
The flying warrior knew that it was hopeless, so he gave up treatment and simply typed out a word of mourning.
Wei Xiao used a blood stab to send him away, then replied to him, “Take care.”
Flying warrior: “……”
The death knight who’d died one step ahead of him also began to howl, “I haven’t even stepped out of the Moonlight Wetland yet!”
Berserker thief: “Winning the lottery wasn’t easy!”
Flying warrior: “QwQ!”
Wei Xiao glanced at the holy priest who was still healthy and whole. He typed: “Who told you guys to have a go at God Yan?”
The three: “???”
Yan Jiang: “……”
The flying warrior was filled with grievances. “We only wanted to take a photo with God Yan!”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment.
The berserker thief continued, “Yeah, yeah, it’s not easy to meet God Yan. We just wanted to commemorate the moment.”
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang didn’t refute it.
Before Wei Xiao rushed over, they had indeed had such a series of conversations.
Wei Xiao blinked, then comforted them, “It’s okay, it’s not too late to do it now. Quickly take a screenshot.”
The team of three corpses: “…………………”
To hell with your screenshot!
What kind of f*cking ‘yin and yang’ photo was this?!
Who would want such a miserable photo of their deaths?!
After lying there as a corpse for 30 seconds, they were all sent to the field of death…
Great. They didn’t even manage to get a yin and yang photo.
Wei Xiao came over to Yan Jiang’s side. “Captain Yan, you’re very popular.”
Yan Jiang: “They had nothing to fear.” They’d felt that they would definitely be able to kill him.
Wei Xiao: “That’s true. When they see Close, they definitely wouldn’t dare to take a group photo with him.” Forget about even taking a screenshot, they might as well jump into the swamp and commit suicide.
Yan Jiang: “……”
Wei Xiao was very keen and noticed that Yan Jiang was ignoring him. He continued, “I’m not stepping on you, I’m just telling the truth.”
Yan Jiang walked faster.
Unfortunately, the immortal warlock’s movement skills were even faster. “As for Close’s popularity…” The rest of the sentence was implicit.
Yan Jiang: “If you keep talking nonsense, the bet agreement will be void.”
Wei Xiao: “Okay, okay, okay, I won’t talk about it anymore.”
The Moonlight Wetland opened up a mode of flying chickens and jumping dogs.
The basic routine went like this––
When they encountered the enemy, their opponents would be overjoyed when they saw God Yan.
Wei Xiao would rush over with his casual player identity and slaughter them until nothing was left.
Slowly, the audience also started to sense something––
“How subtle, God Yan is a dazzling and eye-catching piece of fat bait.”
“Little Lunatic Wei’s really capable. He even dares to use God Yan as a chess piece.”
“What chess piece? He’s a tender flower! Quiet is a flower protector!”
“Isn’t Kim Sung-hyun the tender flower?”
Oh, the real tender flower was currently still closed up in the maze.
Bai Cai understood what Wei Xiao was thinking. His live broadcast room remained on Wei Xiao’s perspective, and he could see everything that Little Lunatic Wei was doing.
Wei Xiao protecting Yan Jiang like this was all for their captain.
Even the current FTW wasn’t very clear about the grievances between the former FTW players.
But there was one thing that they could be sure about––the accounts that had to be settled between them all wouldn’t be easy to balance.
During this season, Lu Feng would definitely compete against Yuan Ze, Xie He, and Kim Sung-hyun in the global singles finals, but he wouldn’t meet Yan Jiang.
If fate was on their side, they may meet in 5v5, but there was no chance in the singles.
The opening game was likely to be the only chance for a fight between Close and Yan Jiang.
Even though Wei Xiao knew that Yan Jiang had no intention to fight at this time, he still wanted to pack up and send this ‘gift’ to the captain.
If he seized every possible opportunity, then there would be no such thing as being unable to balance things out.
Brother Cai understood Wei Xiao, but he couldn’t bear to look directly at the scene.
Wei Little Xiao, should you be called smart or not?
By the time they arrived in the finals circle, wouldn’t the God Yan who’d learned the truth blow up?
When they went over the game replay after the opening game, wouldn’t the captain be jealous?
Ummm…
When Brother Cai thought about that potential scene, he unexpectedly felt a kind of fascinated pleasure.
Sure enough, it was great watching beasts screw up.
