Two separate rooms placed in the center of the entire venue, inside which is a row of game equipment, that is their playing field. Xia Chiyu and Xu Shuo and the others entered the room on the left, and then began to connect the equipment provided by the sponsor to the server provided by the organizer one by one, ready to log in to the game.

"Come on, we'll get you ready." After Zhang Zinuo helped Xia Chiyu connect the last game helmet to the server, he laughed quietly.

"Okay." Xia Chiyu responded, then took a few deep breaths, put on his helmet and began to log in to the game.

The green 1s and 0s quickly formed the game scene, and Xia Chiyu and the others returned to the arena in the game.

"Whew, it's much better now." Looking at the familiar virtual scenes around him, Xia Chiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them also seemed much calmer, after all, this was the place they were familiar with.

"So, get ready for the game." Xu Shuo patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder and said, "You have full command." ”

Since the host still has to introduce the rest of the sponsor's information, and then introduce the members of the e-sports teams on both sides, there is still a period of time before the start of the game, Xia Chiyu chatted with Gu Qinyan and the three of them.

"I don't have anything special to say, the ring match is a test of personal ability, I believe that we should not be at a disadvantage in this point, after all, our skills themselves are more suitable for playing in the ring, and we don't need any tacit understanding and cooperation." Xia Chiyu explained, "Remember, even if you lose in the ring, you can't expose your domain skills, and our first goal is to win the 2v2 championship. ”

"What about the order of play? It's five games in total, so you have to arrange it well. Gu Qinyan continued to ask.

There are five matches in total, all of which will be played in the morning, and in the afternoon there will be matches between the other two semi-finalists in the ring.

At this stage, all five games are bound to be high-intensity games, so it's going to be a lot of work and they have to get the people on the pitch right. Make sure everyone takes turns taking a break.

"In short, me, Reis and Guchinyan came on first, and then it was decided by the specifics of the game. In short, each person cannot have more than three rounds. Xia Chiyu explained, "That's about it, let's go." ”

"It's not my share again...... Su Xing muttered unhappily, ran to the side of the arena and waited, while Xia Chiyu, Gu Qinyan and Lacey were teleported to the arena, waiting for the game to officially start.

After a while, the host of the competition organizer finally finished introducing many miscellaneous items. And then begin...... Introducing the commentary of this competition: "It is a great honor that we have invited the famous e-sports anchor, Li Jiani, to explain to us in this competition! It is reported that Li Jiani also has a good relationship with the members of the e-sports team Speed E-sports who participated in the competition, and I hope that the commentary will not be biased towards them. So Jiani, who do you think has the better chance of winning this competition? ”

"Me? Of course, I hope that the Speedy Esports team will win, after all, both I and the members of their team have a good relationship in private and in our guilds. However, I heard that the opponent gave up the 2v2 and 3v3 events from the beginning, and it was clear that he was eyeing the championship of the ring match, so I think it will be a tough battle. Hope to see a good game......"

And Gu Qinyan in the game raised his eyebrows. glanced at Xia Chiyu meaningfully.

"Don't look at me, I didn't know it was going to happen." Xia Chiyu said with a dry smile, but he was very sure that Li Jiani could be the commentator this time, and he must have taken advantage of the relationship with them. and rumors of an alliance between Angel Wings and the "Demon King".

However, the game commentary is irrelevant to the players as they can't hear the outfield in the game to avoid affecting the game between the two players.

With the introduction of the members of both sides. The competition has officially begun.

First of all, the map is chosen randomly, but the Ring Match map elements don't matter.

The map for the first game quickly rested on the Colosseum, and the two sides would have a few minutes to arrange their personnel and tactics. Xia Chiyu is here to be safe. It's better to let Gu Qinyan play first, it is a tradition in the ring to play first for a panacea profession like a swordsman, and in this kind of large-scale competition, it is better to be decent.

Although both teams know each other's basic routines, they still need a certain amount of trial and familiarity.

"Then I'll go first." Gu Qinyan waved his hand, and with the countdown of "5, 4, 3 ......", the cell door in front of him also opened. Gu Qinyan came to the central area of the ancient Roman arena, and the first person sent by the other party was the assassin Zhang Haicheng.

That is, the assassin with a one-handed sword in the opposing team, Xia Chiyu suddenly frowned.

This assassin is probably the enemy who worries Xia Chiyu the most, and the reason is very simple: the other party is not mainstream.

Generally speaking, assassins are armed with daggers, because daggers have the effect of strengthening weakness strikes, and can cause higher damage and stronger special effects when attacking weaknesses.

Compared with the dagger, the advantage of the one-handed sword is naturally that the damage is relatively high, judging from the previous video of the other party, Zhang Haicheng, a non-mainstream assassin, did not use too many non-mainstream routines, and still attacked the enemy's weakness with the style of an assassin.

However, the weak attack effect of the one-handed sword is obviously not as good as that of the dagger, and it is only compensated for by the high weapon damage of the one-handed sword itself, so the existing information is that "the other party is just an assassin with a one-handed sword". However, Gu Qinyan has passive domain skills, and I believe that he should be able to deal with most situations.

At the beginning of the game, the opponent was in a stealth state, so there was only Gu Qinyan on the field for the time being. Xia Chiyu could hear Li Jiani explaining the game to the host outside: "In the battle with the assassins, the first wave of attacks is very crucial. If you can catch the assassin out of the stealth state, you can take the initiative, and you will basically have an advantage. But on the contrary, if the assassin Shun Lì relied on stealth to make a wave of first moves, then the situation on Xiao Gu's side is not very optimistic......"

"It's going to be called Xiao Gu so soon." Xia Chiyu sighed secretly, but Gu Qinyan on the field couldn't hear these explanations, and at this moment, Gu Qinyan put his hand on the iron sword on his waist, maintaining the posture of a sword servant while waiting for the opportunity.

Gu Qinyan carefully observed the situation on the field. The Assassin's stealth is not untraceable, and like all stealth abilities, it is translucent, and the closer you get, the easier it is to detect. Assassins usually give themselves a stealth enhancement skill that narrows down the scope of this easy detection. This allows you to get as close as possible to the enemy.

However, experienced players can also find out some details through guò, because stepping on the ground while sneaking still has an effect, especially since the ground of this ancient Roman arena is a sand field, and if you are not careful, you will leave footprints and be discovered. Gu Qinyan kept the posture of a sword attendant and waited for a while, then Leng Buding's body spun around and released a whirlwind slash.

The sword qi scattered and flew away, and Gu Qinyan took this opportunity to squint his eyes, intently observing the situation on the ground, and then his eyes widened suddenly. Apparently he had discovered something, and he rushed out with a dash in his hand, and then added a flash again, and instantly advanced a distance of forty yards, before he pulled out his double-edged sword, and conjured up another short sword, and swung his double sword.

"Ping!" There was a clear sound, and then a figure slowly emerged from the shadows. Zhang Haicheng frowned, but he used his double swords to block Gu Qinyan's two swords. And there were no injuries. However, being caught out of the shadows by Gu Qinyan was obviously very bad for him, and he lost an important sacrifice at this time.

"Okay, got it!" Lacey clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Well done." It's really worthy of admiration! ”

"It's so beautiful!" The host of the outfield couldn't help but praise it, and Li Jiani explained: "This requires a lot of experience to do, and when the assassin will attack can only rely on consciousness, if the judgment is wrong." If you use an area attack too early, the Assassin will catch the skill and stun and start attacking, and the same is true if you use it too late. ”

"But the real difficulty was how to determine the position of the Assassins, as the Assassins knew that the enemy would force them out with an area attack. So be sure to dodge an area attack before stepping forward. And the assassin's opponent must seize the gap to find the assassin's trace, presumably Xiao Gu turned on the reaction time just now to find Zhang Haicheng's location. ”

"This girl really knows a lot." Xia Chiyu thought with some surprise secretly.

Indeed, as Li Jiani said, this wave of Gu Qinyan just now turned on the reaction time to catch the assassins, so if the situation is to be reversed, the assassins must make good use of the reaction time they still have in their hands to play to their advantage.

However, the cooldown of the reaction time is only ten seconds, and it will pass after a slight delay, and whether or not you can seize this gap depends on the ability of the other party. As soon as Zhang Haicheng and Gu Qinyan came into contact, they began a fierce firefight, and the two went back and forth, using basic hand-to-hand combat to exchange fire, waiting and looking for opportunities.

The agile reactions and beautiful movements of both sides drove the audience to be amazed, but Zhang Haicheng broke the deadlock first, because the cooling of reaction time was almost up. His figure was surrounded by a black mist, and the next moment he flashed behind Gu Qinyan with a shadow step, swinging his sword to attack. Gu Qinyan was not surprised, and he didn't even look back, and the short sword in his left hand stabbed directly on the ground, which just happened to block Zhang Haicheng's sword that slashed at his ankle.

There was another uproar from the audience, but it wasn't a surprise, as the Assassins usually attacked the legs, relying on the special effects of weak point strikes to slow down the opponent in order to give themselves an advantage in speed and make it easier to suppress the enemy. Especially for classes like Swordsman, which also rely on agility, it is especially important to have a speed advantage in battle.

Gu Qinyan knew this, so he prepared in advance for the other party to attack his leg to cause slowdown, this is a kind of gambling, Gu Qinyan is just guarding against the area that can cause slowdown and hard stun to himself, but the other sword did not guess, Zhang Haicheng's second sword slashed on Gu Qinyan's arm, a blood line spurted out, and Gu Qinyan left a bleeding DOT injury on his body.

"DOT?" Gu Qinyan frowned and said to himself, but this attack was finally dissolved, his left hand was guarded by the sword, and at the same time he turned to the right to deal with Zhang Haicheng's other attacks, mainly to protect his kidneys and chest and other vital points from being punched, so inconsequential areas such as arms could not be defended.

But at this time, the cooldown of Gu Qinyan's reaction time has ended, and the two sides have returned to the same start, and now Gu Qinyan only has one more DOT on him, which can be said to still occupy a certain advantage.

"Don't you go? Then I'm on. Seeing that the other party was still planning to fight, instead of opening the big skill, Gu Qinyan said coldly, his eyes flashed red, and the blood-red fighting qi burst out from him, and then his body spun and disappeared on the field.

Zhang Haicheng raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised, because Gu Qinyan had not used wind movement in the previous battle, and wind movement was different from ordinary instantaneous flashes, and it was impossible to predict without a movement trajectory, but Zhang Haicheng still reacted quickly, grabbed to the left, and Gu Qinyan turned into a red sword and flashed behind him.

Xia Chiyu guessed that Zhang Haicheng had turned on the reaction time, and Gu Qinyan also guessed that the other party was using the reaction time to dodge, so he continued to launch an onslaught. But it is difficult to play an advantage in these ten seconds when the enemy's reaction time is cooled, which is the same for both sides, Gu Qinyan's left hand Taidao briefly accumulated, and then slashed towards Zhang Haicheng with a gallop.

Zhang Haicheng's crossed swords struck away the galloping sword qi, and Gu Qinyan immediately turned around and raised the double-edged sword in his right hand. Zhang Haicheng's crossed double swords were pressed down, blocking Gu Qinyan's sword, the sound of gold and iron rang out, sparks burst out, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Haicheng's mouth, and then the double swords danced, "Ping-pong!" The crisp sound came, and Gu Qinyan's double-edged sword was shocked and flew out.

"Disarming special effect!?" Looking at the debuff on Gu Qinyan's body, Xia Chiyu muttered to himself in surprise.

This disarming effect, also known as weapon knocking, will remain unarmed until the player picks up the weapon, which is very lethal for the three classes of Swordsman, Knight and Assassin, especially the Swordsman and Assassin, both of which rely entirely on weapons for their attacks and have no high defense to save their lives. Although Gu Qinyan has a variety of special effect weapons in the passive domain skills, these are all based on the weapons he holds in his hands to release, and they cannot be released when they are disarmed.

But Gu Qinyan still has a off-hand weapon in his left hand, and he disappeared on the field with a wind shift, although Zhang Haicheng guarded Gu Qinyan to pick up the weapon, but Gu Qinyan appeared on the field and slashed again, flashing past Zhang Haicheng, forcing Zhang Haicheng to defend, and at the same time swept over the weapon he was knocked out of, and picked up his weapon.

"Whew...... It's dangerous. Xia Chiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but that disarming skill was still a problem in this game. (To be continued......)
