Chapter 1 Key Roles

Each key role in every tactical segment guides Happy's established tactics while also concealing changes. Jia Shi attacked these roles again and again, putting themselves in a rather passive situation, eventually paying a considerable price. So overall, not only did they fail to break Happy's tactical system, but they were also repeatedly restrained by the opponent's tactics.

Xiao Shiqin, who had already typed "Focus Fire Ghost Swordsman" in the message box, quickly deleted those four words. Jia Shi could no longer fall into such a passive situation. In the current situation, they were four against three. Although Happy was holding onto one of their characters, Happy was actually in a completely defensive posture. The three characters were tightly constricted within the space controlled by the ghost array, not daring to step out of it.

Because of the protection of the ghost array, Jia Shi, despite such an advantage, could not break through Happy for a while. Without a healer, they couldn't afford such attrition. They had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Focus fire on Ye Xiu!

A new instruction jumped into Jia Shi's team channel. This time, Xiao Shiqin typed that message with considerable force. He felt a little annoyed in his heart. He realized that they should have fought like this earlier. He shouldn't have thought so much. He should have concentrated all of Jia Shi's strength and sent Ye Xiu away from the match at all costs after discovering Lord Grim.

Yes, at all costs.

After sending out the previous instruction, Xiao Shiqin fiercely typed these four words again and sent them out.

Even if it meant sacrificing one, two, or three, even including the healer, as long as they sent Ye Xiu out of the match, Jia Shi, even if they were outnumbered, even without a healer, with their strong strength, couldn't they take care of this group of grassroots rookies from Happy?

The principle was too simple, so simple that Xiao Shiqin had completely ignored it at first. He highly valued Ye Xiu, analyzed all possibilities, and thought about the restraints Ye Xiu might create, so he never thought about sending Ye Xiu off the field with such a strong stance.

In the end, Xiao Shiqin still hadn't broken away from the thinking habits of his small and medium-sized teams. His tactics failed to fully unleash Jia Shi's combat power. The overly weak opponents in the Challenger League concealed this point. So in the final battle, when the opponent's tactics continuously amplified the combat power of their players and characters, Jia Shi was suddenly overwhelmed.

This was completely different from the expected course of the match. In people's minds, even if Jia Shi ultimately lost, they would definitely be in the dominant position for most of the time, only to be seized by Happy due to a major mistake or loophole, leading to an uncontrollable situation. No one had thought that Jia Shi would be constantly weakened and蚕食 (canshi - nibbled away) by Happy in such a passive situation in this final.

Until this moment, Xiao Shiqin realized the problem. Although he couldn't completely realize the problem of his integration with Jia Shi, at least this time, he finally found the key point.

Focus fire on Ye Xiu, at all costs.

No healer?

Even without a healer, as long as they could take care of Ye Xiu, any exchange would be worth it. Jia Shi still had a numerical advantage in the current situation. Perhaps this would be their last chance. No matter what, they had to take Lord Grim away completely during this time, enduring the restrictions and damage of the ghost array, enduring any attack from the opponent, and absolutely not retreating in the slightest.

The new instruction offered more than just tactical ideas.

At all costs, this was even more of a determination.

When everyone saw Jia Shi giving such an instruction, their hearts skipped a beat. They all sensed that the biggest storm in this match was probably coming.

Xiao Shiqin took the lead, having 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie - Soul Extinguisher) display the spirit of Xiaochang gambling his gun eye with his body. All the mechanical props that would be restricted by the ghost array were completely abandoned. Various heavy types that would not be easily exploded by the ghost array appeared on the stage one after another. Under the aerial fire cover of the mechanical airdrop, Soul Extinguisher actually rushed directly into the range of the ghost array.

This move was a rather thorough interpretation of "at all costs." Jia Shi's other three players were all invigorated. Wang Ze's Firewood twisted his body, ignoring the attacks he was receiving, and had to send bullets towards Lord Grim from the gap. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei were even less concerned about how to reduce suppression and damage in the ghost array. They simply aimed at Lord Grim and killed him in the simplest and most efficient way.

Jia Shi's suddenly launched offensive was noticed not only by Ye Xiu but also by Qiao Yifan. The ghost array he dropped was now regarded as nothing by the opponent. They endured the damage and negative status that the ghost array gave them, but concentrated their strength to launch an impact on Lord Grim.

Lord Grim's life was not full at this time. He had also experienced many fierce battles and single-handedly withstood many offensives. And supporting Soft Mist under the cover of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, walking in that hail of bullets looked really dashing, but Lord Grim, who was holding the umbrella, still had to bear the damage.

The damage immunity of the shield is calculated as a percentage, in addition to an increase in defense. To some extent, it cannot completely block damage like an attack parry, but the convenience of a shield is that using it does not require considering the skill's judgment like using an attack parry. Facing any attack, as long as the shield meets it, the defense and the percentage of damage immunity can be exerted.

Lord Grim held up the umbrella, and Soft Mist did not take any damage behind the umbrella, but Lord Grim himself could not escape the blood loss after those hits. Adding up all the details, Lord Grim's health was actually the lowest of Happy's characters on the field, with only 50% of his life left.

In this situation, he still doesn't want to take the initiative to attack?

Xiao Shiqin's mind turned around at this time, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that attacking Lord Grim was a super correct decision.

His Soul Extinguisher ignored the existence of any ghost array after entering the ghost array, only considering how to injure Lord Grim.

Qiao Yifan hurriedly strengthened the blockade, and the ghost array fell madly, but it was still ignored by Jia Shi's few people. Several people surrounded Ye Xiu's Lord Grim and attacked wildly. Steamed Bun Invasion and One Inch Gray seemed to be non-existent at this time. They simply ignored the various attacks from the two people on the side.

"Use control!" Qiao Yifan hurriedly reminded Steamed Bun in the channel.

Following good advice is Steamed Bun's greatest characteristic. No matter who comes up with the idea, he doesn't really consider whether it makes sense or not. Anyway, he does it first. Steamed Bun Invasion pounced fiercely, wanting to pin a target to the ground with a Tyrannical Fist. But the reality proved that even if Jia Shi ignored the two of them at all costs, they would still care about such skills. The One Autumn Leaf, which was locked as the target by Steamed Bun, lightly changed direction and easily dodged the pounce. Steamed Bun was not persistent, and his character turned around and used a throat grab towards Battle Format.

Of course, this also had to be dodged. Although Throat Grab doesn't restrict the target's attack actions, it controls movement, which naturally prevents them from entering the position to attack Lord Grim.

Steamed Bun Invasion's another attack was avoided again, but closely following, Sand Toss, Brick…… The Rogue profession has quite a few control skills. Steamed Bun desperately threw them out at this time. There was no unified target, no clear intention. He smashed whichever one was convenient. In an instant, a pile of skills had already cooled down. Steamed Bun's hand speed was also quite outstanding. However, there were also small skills that had already cooled down at this time. Steamed Bun unhesitatingly followed up.

"Too reckless..." This was a sigh from Li Yibo.

However, such recklessness actually had a very important impact on the situation. Jia Shi disregarded everything and tried to kill Lord Grim. They would not pay attention to any attack damage, but they were afraid of control skills that would delay their time. They needed to pay attention to the skills from Steamed Bun Invasion. However, Steamed Bun's attack had no clear ideas at all, and came from his unfettered randomness. Xiao Shiqin, with his rich experience, predicted twice, but was hit by a brick.

Yes, a brick, right in the back of Soul Extinguisher's head. He was stunned at the time. However, the pity was that due to being in the ghost array, the continuous ghost array damage immediately解除 (jiechu - removed) his眩晕 (xuanyun - dizziness) state. This made Qiao Yifan feel sorry. This Steamed Bun, didn't even think about seeking cooperation. If I had known that your brick would hit, I wouldn't have put this damaging ghost array in this place!

But how could Steamed Bun care about this? He had already gone to find the next target at this time. For a time, Jia Shi's few people were actually killed by Steamed Bun Invasion alone. They didn't want to waste time on Steamed Bun Invasion, but the fact that they had to guard against Steamed Bun Invasion's attacks diverted a lot of their attention.

Above and below, no one knew where this guy's attack came from or where it was going. The brick was like this, and so were other skills. Every time Steamed Bun Invasion raised his hand, every member of Jia Shi had to be shocked and then dodge. In the end? Steamed Bun Invasion's attack could only hit one person, right? Weren't the other two purely wasting time?

"This, this...this is really chaotic..." Pan Lin exclaimed in amazement. Steamed Bun's wave of outburst brought the match into an incredible chaotic situation. This was no longer a category that could be interpreted with Glory knowledge. Instructor Li Yibo was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "He disrupted Jia Shi's rhythm..."

Yes, everyone could see this. Jia Shi's rhythm was completely messed up at this time. But the problem was, did Happy have a rhythm now? No, not at all. Jia Shi's people couldn't capture Steamed Bun Invasion's attacks, and even their own people from Happy couldn't cooperate.

"Get lost!!"

Sun Xiang was finally getting a little impatient with Steamed Bun. This guy's clownish performance actually slowed down their strong attack on Lord Grim. One Autumn Leaf temporarily let go of Lord Grim. The Evil Destroyer shook and stabbed towards Steamed Bun Invasion. He was determined to drive this chaotic guy away a little further before doing anything else.

"Be careful!"

As a result, just as One Autumn Leaf changed its target, a spear suddenly stabbed from behind. Ye Xiu was still on the field and hadn't died yet. In such a chaotic situation, in his eyes, there was no shortage of opportunities, and he was a little dazzled. At this time, One Autumn Leaf suddenly changed its attack target, without any response from others. Ye Xiu's attack was simply subconscious. If he didn't do this, he would be sorry for his years of cultivation.

Circle Swing!

One Autumn Leaf was lifted into the air by Lord Grim and smashed hard towards Firewood's head.

"Nice job, Steamed Bun."

"That goes without saying!" Steamed Bun said with incomparable confidence, but did he really know what he had done? Happy's teammates expressed doubt. They felt that wouldn't Qiao Yifan, who told Steamed Bun to use control skills, deserve the most credit?
