Chapter 885 1. Everything must be questioned by the sword in your hand first!
Liu Xiaobie's weapon is a top-grade silver weapon, one of the ten famous swords of Glory, called the Lightsaber Soul Chaser. This lightsaber has a Soul Chaser effect, the recipe and crafting method of which are currently only known to the Tiny Herb team.
Soul Chaser: 5% chance to deal a combo attack to the target.
This effect can often catch the opponent off guard in battle. Combined with Liu Xiaobie's hand speed, it is a very practical weapon effect.
Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud, though a newcomer, already possesses ten pieces of self-made equipment, a number comparable to their core member, Night Rain's Roar. His weapon, Flame Shadow, is a greatsword with powerful physical attack and a wide attack range—characteristics typical of greatswords.
What makes this Flame Shadow weapon truly outstanding is its effect, which shares the same name as its weapon.
Flame Shadow: There is a 5% chance to add the Flame Shadow effect to attacks, increasing attack damage by 30%.
Compared to Soul Chaser, Flame Shadow is a pure attack power booster.
In the commentary booth, Qiao Jingjing and two other guest commentators were introducing the characters of two players. Before she could even finish explaining their information, Lu Hanwen and Liu Xiaobie's characters had already met in the middle of the map, forcing Qiao Jingjing to stop her commentary and focus on their match.
Since this is not a tribute match, the outcome of this match is naturally of great interest to everyone.
Facing Lu Hanwen, a junior, Liu Xiaobie showed no humility or contempt whatsoever. The two had barely met when Liu Xiaobie, relying on the speed advantage of his lightsaber, prepared to launch a direct attack. He began with a three-stage slash, aiming straight at Lu Hanwen.
Faced with the opponent's strong attack, Lu Hanwen naturally would not sit idly by and wait to die. He swung his greatsword horizontally and directly unleashed a wide-range slash, which was the sword-drawing slash!
The draw slash already had a very large attack range, which was further expanded by the greatsword's extremely long blade. However, due to the greatsword's attack speed and weight, it wasn't as fast. But it precisely calculated the position of Liu Xiaobie's triple slash, perfectly covering the opponent's attack range.
But facing the attack whistling from his side, Liu Xiaobie showed no intention of backing down. He slashed his lightsaber to protect his right shoulder and unleashed a third strike while taking the hit. He actually managed to withstand the blow while adjusting his body and bending over to follow the force of the attack, allowing Lu Hanwen's greatsword to pass right above him.
He successfully used the final movement of his Triple Slash to reach Lu Hanwen.
when!
The greatsword and the lightsaber clashed once again.
Lu Hanwen drew his sword and slashed, then spun around the greatsword, blocking Liu Xiaobie's incoming sword strike with his own.
The two sides had barely made contact when two rapid "clangs" rang out.
But this was just the beginning. In the next instant, both sides brandished their weapons, and both characters were surrounded by dazzling sword light.
The clanging of metal against metal rang out rapidly as both fighters launched their attacks, recovered their moves, and changed tactics in the blink of an eye. This brief encounter ignited the battle, with a dazzling and intense burst of hand speed that set the entire arena ablaze.
As it turns out, this kind of head-to-head duel, which involves extremely high hand speed and skillful operation, is the scene that the audience likes the most.
After all, they might not understand the technical details immediately, but they could clearly see the rapid hand speed of both players. Which player wouldn't want to be a master of hand speed like that? As for the other factors of a professional player, they weren't so concerned. The two players' hand speeds continued to increase; in just a few seconds of exchange, the speed of their attacks was already overwhelming for the other players.
Meanwhile, the large screen in the venue was split into two: one recording the stunning moments, and the other playing them in slow motion. This made it even harder for the audience to keep up.
As both sides increased their attack speed, blood began to appear on both characters' bodies, and their health points began to decrease, gradually widening the gap between them.
Although the difference in their health points was small, Liu Xiaobie's health points were ultimately slightly higher than Lu Hanwen's.
Don't underestimate Liu Xiaobie just because he's never been the core of Tiny Herb's tactics. He has a talent that's recognized by the professional league: hand speed.
Talent is like an athlete's physical attributes; it's largely innate and almost impossible to achieve through training. People with such talent naturally attract expectations from others, and Liu Xiaobie is such a person.
Even though Tiny Herb already had three All-Stars, they still didn't hesitate to value him highly, placing him in an undisputed starting position. In contrast, his performance over the past two seasons has been somewhat disappointing.
Liu Xiaobie is indeed talented, but he has never shown performance commensurate with that talent. In contrast, two of the other contestants who debuted with him have already achieved legendary status.
One is Sun Xiang, who came from a small team but relied on his own strength to become the best newcomer of the year with overwhelming force. In his second season after his debut, he became a god and won the title of Battle God One Autumn Leaf, becoming One Autumn Leaf's successor.
The other is Tang Hao, who achieved success with the Hundred Blossoms team and then won the title of Glory's Number One Rogue at the All-Star event. Even Tang Hao doesn't possess the same attention-grabbing talent as Liu Xiaobie.
Even so, he has now taken over the mantle of Tang San, becoming the absolute core of the Howling Team. This season, he has delivered a series of outstanding performances.
On the contrary, Liu Xiaobie, who comes from a top-tier team like Tiny Herb, possesses enviable and unattainable talent. However, after two seasons, apart from his ferocious hand speed during battles, he hasn't had any truly amazing moments.
Liu Xiaobie was not one to be content with mediocrity, so he worked exceptionally hard this summer. While others were relaxing and taking vacations, he was constantly putting in extra training, even engaging in team battles in online games to hone his skills.
His hard work finally paid off this season.
His performance this season has been outstanding, with significant improvements in both win rate and accuracy. He even climbed to 25th place in the All-Star voting, only a little over 100 votes behind Zou Yuan, who was in 24th place.
Although he is currently facing someone ranked eighteenth among all-stars, such a result is quite remarkable for a rookie.
But so what!
Does Liu Xiaobie feel inferior to the other person?
Won't!!
Everything can only be known by first consulting the sword in my hand! (End of Chapter)
