Chapter 241 The Jokes Gone Too Far
Zhang Xinjie understood exactly how skilled Jiang You and the others were. As the most skilled players of Tyrannical Ambition, they might not be good enough to be pros, but they werent so bad that they could be bullied by just anyone.
But right now, the four were struggling in the river of lava. They were pretty much being toyed with by their opponents. They were trying their hardest too. Who knew how many times theyd already tried jumping up. The four tried gathering together, separating, diversion tactics, hiding and then popping out, etc. They tried everything, but nothing worked. Their opponents defenses were impenetrable. Their opponents wanted to wait for them to burn themselves to death in this river of lava.
Their health slowly burned away. And as for Zhang Xinjie, after leading them through several failed attempts, all he could do was run around. Seeing this, the four players understood that even Zhang Xinjie was at wits end.
Seeing that Zhang Xinjie was still healing them, even though the four players were already exhausted,all they could do was continue trying to escape.
Run! Run far far away!! Jiang You shouted.
One on each side, the Sharpshooter and Blade Master ran along the banks as far as they could. This was already their final gamble. By splitting far apart, they would leave the Clerics healing range and then there would be no way of coordinating with each other whatsoever. Without the healing from the Cleric, they would eventually be burned to death.
However besides this, what other method was left?
Zhang Xinjie bitterly laughed. He originally wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
Jiang Yous method truly was stupid. Their opponents had experts and were superior to them in 1v1 scenarios. What Jiang You was doing was playing to their opponents strengths and their weaknesses. But since the situation was already like this and Jiang You and the others were still trying hard, it wouldnt be a good idea to stop them.
And thus, Zhang Xinjie didnt say anything. He continued to heal the members that were in range. Facing the unspecialized Lord Grim, who could be both close-range and long-range, he was finally able to witness the ever-changing Thousand Chance Umbrella. The two players were gradually getting farther and farther away and their opponents also had two players follow them, Cleansing Mist and Flowing Tree.
Everything was as Zhang Xinjie expected. This type of tactic hadnt brought anything good to the table. The Blade Master and Sharpshooter were still being suppressed by Cleansing Mist and Flowing Tree just like before.
Zhang Xinjie sighed. He already knew the battle was already over. Cleansing Mists bullets fired and the Sharpshooter died, the Blade Master closely following after.
Crowd Lover and the Striker were under Endless Nights healing, but they wouldnt be able to stay alive forever.
Weve lost. Zhang Xinjie typed the message into the public chat.
Ha ha, I agree. Ye Xiu replied.
Who are you? Zhang Xinjie asked.
Just as who you think I am, an expert. Ye Xiu said.
Zhang Xinjie was silent.
Ye Qiu, Huang Shaotian, Su Mucheng. These three names had flashed by in his head long ago, but he was a cautious person. If he wasnt 100% certain, he wouldnt be able to easily come to a conclusion.
If they really were these three, then Zhang Xinjie had to admit that he had played the joke too far this time. Trying to beat those three with just Jiang You and the others was impossible.
He had originally believed that the coordination and synergy between Jiang You and his team were their advantages.
But, in the Glory pro-scene, in the seven completed seasons, Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng had won Best Partners four times. The three times that they hadnt won the award was because Su Mucheng had yet to entered the pro-scene.
Facing the two players with the greatest synergy in the entire pro-scene, how could Jiang You and his teams synergy be an advantage? Hilarious.
If it really was like this, then Zhang Xinjie would feel very embarrassed, but he wouldnt be able to take back his assumption.
He had intuitively felt that they were Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, but he had no definitive proof. As for that Flowing Tree, his playing completely exposed his god-level skill. But once he got on stage, he quieted down. Before, the reports said that he was very talkative, so why was he quiet now?
Were they different people?
Talking a lot wasnt his habit, but something he did on and off?
Or maybe he really was Huang Shaotian, but he intentionally hid his specialty?
Maybe he doesnt want to be exposed? Hes afraid of being seen through? By me? Speaking of this, do they know who I am?
When Zhang Xinjie thought, he didnt ignore any possibility. He thought, while quietly watching Lord Grim and the others. Crowd lover and the Striker had already jumped out but they were still burning. The two were silent; their current moods were obvious.
If theres nothing you guys want to talk about, then lets leave? Ye Xiu said.
Is that Ye Qius voice? Zhang Xinjie tried hard to recall. Voice chat wasnt allowed in pro-matches, so he wasnt very familiar with Ye Qius voice.
Lord Grim...... Jiang You grinded his teeth. He really wanted to say some bad words.
Are we going to meet up again at Line Canyon? Ye Xiu laughed.
Jiang You really wanted to jump over the river and teach Lord Grim a lesson but he didnt move because he clearly knew that he would lose if he talked.
You just wait! Jiang You threatened.
Ha ha, Ill wait. You can come bet with me anytime youd like. I welcome you to try again. Ye Xiu said.
Lets leave! Zhang Xinjie left and the system announced that Lord Grims side was the winner.
Ha ha ha ha, Zhang Xinjie is nothing! I cant help but say that he was too naive. To think hed be able to block me! Did you see my beautiful swordplay? Huang Shaotian couldnt help but begin chattering once he saw that the other side had left.
Yeah, not bad. Ye Xiu said.
Not bad? F*ck, let me tell you. At that time, the number of players who could do what I did cant be more than ten. Huang Shaotian said.
I should be one of those ten, no? Ye Xiu asked.
Of course.
Then I dont understand why youre trying to brag.
Lets see wholl win! Ill go and switch accounts! Huang Shaotian called.
Your beautiful swordplay definitely aroused Zhang Xinjies suspicions. But with his personality, he wont come to a conclusion without solid evidence. If you log out of Flowing Tree and go onto Troubling Rain, are you trying to provide him proof? Ye Xiu asked.
Huang Shaotian stared blankly.
The Assassin Zero Kills also stared blankly. Seeing the large list of items they had won from the info list made him thoroughly stunned. He hadnt noticed that this had been a match with bets.
Lets all leave too! Ye Xiu said.
Ah...... that...... Zero Kills muttered. He wanted to ask what all those items were about and whether it was split between members.
Thanks, brother! Ill gift you this! Ye Xiu prompted a trade with Zero Kills.
Zero Kills accepted and looked. The other side had unexpectedly put up a Level 30 Purple Twin-Tailed Swords.
Zero Kills happily accepted it. He hadnt done anything in the match and won a Purple weapon. Was such good luck even possible? Zero Kills hadnt yet fully thought it through yet, when the others left.
