Glory [e-sports]

Chapter 157.1: Wei Xiao: Why am I not in North America!

In the end, Yuan Ze took the blood warrior.

The blood warrior’s full name was the bloodthirsty warrior, and it looked like a majestic human general. According to the information provided from the Glory expansion film, he was an excellent general who’d led thousands of troops to fight in all directions. Later on, he was abandoned by his lord because his achievements had overshadowed his master. His 3000-strong iron cavalry had become scattered souls beneath the assault from 100,000 troops.

The general was pierced by thousands of arrows, but before he died, he held up his sword and roared to the sky. His resentment and unwillingness attracted blood demon magic, and the blood of 3000 soldiers all poured into his body. The general was reborn with blood and became a demon.

The bloodthirsty warrior and the blood raven thief had grudges and resentment between them.

According to the background introduction, the blood thief was the blood warrior’s adjutant and the only one who’d survived the slaughter.

The general thought that the adjutant had betrayed him and drained his blood immediately after he resurrected.

But the adjutant had died willingly. Before he died, he said, “I’ve always been waiting for you.”

Only after the general had washed the palace with blood did he learn that the adjutant hadn’t betrayed him. Instead, he’d been running around everywhere for his sake in the capital and hadn’t given up despite being subjected to abuse and humiliation.

Everyone had said that the general was dead, but the adjutant clung to his belief––the god of war would never die and would never fall.

Afterwards, the blood warrior divided his blood into two halves and used half of it to revive the adjutant.

From then on, a blood thief and blood warrior appeared in the Glory canyon.

Lu Feng used the blood raven thief.

Yuan Ze: “I won’t take it easy on you.”

It could be seen from their background story that the blood warrior could suppress the blood thief.

In terms of game balance, just based on solo combat, the blood warrior was indeed more dominant, especially now that the blood thief had suffered a few nerfs from the game planners and had already been left on the bench for a long time.

Lu Feng: “Bring it.”

There was no need to talk nonsense, they would determine who was the winner and loser in the canyon.

Both talents had ‘blood’ in their names, and they had the same origins. The core mechanisms for the two talents were very similar, and they both had powerful blood sucking abilities.

When the blood thief’s ultimate move blood oath started up, it could quickly recover back to full health from a mere sliver of health. It was like having an extra life.

The blood warrior’s blood sucking ability was continuous, and almost every one of its skills had its own blood sucking and health recovery mechanism. As for the amount, it depended on the operation.

Wei Xiao sent out a scrolling comment when he saw this CP pairing, “Captain, let’s use them together next time in 5V5.”

“I can share my lifeforce with you.”

Lu Feng still had enough time to reply to him while clearing lane soldiers, “Okay.”

Wei Xiao was happy.

If the blood thief and blood warrior were on the same side, they could trigger a small skill––life sharing.

It sounded very awesome, but in fact, it came with quite a few restrictions. It could only be used when both sides had over 60% health at the same time, and it had to be used when they were out of combat.

This was more of a symbolic skill than a practical one. It was mainly used to match up with the backstory and give the players a small Easter egg to play with.

Wei Xiao watched this solo game very seriously. He didn’t even send many scrolling comments.

Although Yuan Ze’s character was questionable, it had to be acknowledged that he was indeed a top class player with strong personal strength.

The blood warrior was now a very commonly seen top-laner in the field, and many players had practiced it.

However, Yuan Ze’s understanding of this talent went far beyond others.

His skill understanding, micro operations, equipment buying strategy, and even his movements and positioning were all very nuanced.

Wei Xiao couldn’t help but consider, if he was the one in the canyon, if he was the one controlling the blood thief, would he be able to snatch up any benefits from Yuan Ze’s hands?

The answer was infinitely close to ‘No’.

Finding a breakthrough in this seamless operation was too difficult.

The blood thief was originally already suppressed by its talent disadvantage. If he then encountered such a nuanced blood warrior, he would almost definitely be overwhelmed.

“Damn!” Bai Cai exclaimed.

Wei Xiao saw it as well, and his eyes grew as bright as stars.

Bai Cai sucked in a breath. “The captain is so strong.”

A wave of conflict had just broken out in the canyon. Yuan Ze’s blood warrior had just been attacked by the blood thief’s ‘feather transformation’. Ravens landed one after another, and he instantly lost half of his health bar!

This timing was too amazing.

Yuan Ze was very strong.

But Close was even stronger!

Wei Xiao couldn’t even be sure how Lu Feng had seized this opportunity without going back and watching the replay.

It wasn’t just Wei Xiao. Everyone in L&P held their breath and couldn’t even blink.

This kind of pinnacle level duel was even more thrilling than watching the global solo competition.

Marshal vs Close.

The former singles championship against the current holder of three consecutive championships.

Who was the strongest Solo King?

The match that the whole world was curious about was taking place right in front of their eyes!

In the long and narrow canyon, the blood warrior who’d lost half its health to the blood raven thief didn’t panic. It used its first skill, the blood sting, and pierced through a total of five lane soldiers at an extremely tricky angle.

This round of micro operations left everyone stunned.

Lu Feng’s lips raised slightly. He dodged slightly, avoiding the blood sting that hadn’t lost any of its momentum.

This blood warrior skill had strong penetration power, but how much it could actually pierce through depended on the player’s ability.

The angle, power, and how it was launched were all crucial factors.

There weren’t very many people who could use the blood sting the way Yuan Ze had, even across the whole of Glory.

Those who didn’t understand might wonder: what was the meaning behind piercing through the small lane soldiers?

It was very meaningful!

Just look at Yuan Ze’s health bar. The way that it had instantly recovered from half health back to full health was enough to explain the power behind this round of operations.

Blood sting would absorb the lifeforce of other beings for recovery. The amount of health that could be recovered by hitting one target was very different from hitting six targets!

In an instant, the blood warrior and blood thief were back to the same stats they’d been at prior to the confrontation; neither side had lost any health!

However, the real battle would only begin after level six, when all their skills were activated. Only then would the winner and loser be determined.

Although Yuan Ze and Lu Feng hadn’t soloed together for a long time, it was obvious that they’d both paid attention to each other.

They’d both grown infinitely, but only their personal habits remained buried deep in the marrow of their bones.

For example…

Yuan Ze’s black eyes flashed, and he caught an opportunity: Little Close, don’t blame big brother for not taking it easy on you.

The blood warrior released a phantom. The phantom and the original body looked identical, and because they could switch positions randomly, others weren’t able to judge which figure was the real blood warrior. Additionally, the phantom figure was able to share damage, and attacking the enemy would also allow the phantom to restore health.

As soon as this skill came out, everyone stared at the blood raven thief.

Lu Feng used ‘feather transformation’ and used the second segment of its movement ability to pull away from the blood warrior.

However, Yuan Ze seemed to have seen where he would land ahead of time. Seeing that the blood thief was landing, his figure and the phantom figure switched positions. The blood warrior’s scarlet sword appeared behind the blood thief.

There was a heavy flash of bloody light, a squelch, and the blade ran through the blood thief’s belly.

The high-definition mode image was shocking. Blood overflowed, following the long blade like it had a life of its own. The blood thief’s health dropped sharply, and at the same time, the blood warrior’s entire body was bathed in red light, causing rampant damage.

At the moment when the long blade was pulled out, a blood mist rose up suddenly, wrapping around the blood thief completely.

This was the blood warrior’s ultimate move, the blood demon’s awakening.

The awakened blood demon could ignore all damage, and its attack and movement speed were greatly enhanced.

The sword moved to create a bloody sword flower, suppressing heavens and earth and rushing towards the blood thief.

It was over.

There was no doubt about it, the blood thief was going to die!

It wasn’t only the people in the L&P training room who thought so. Wei Xiao thought so, too.

Bai Cai hissed, “Old Bandit Yuan lives up to his name.”

He was really like a dog, but when it came to strength, he was also really strong.

Wei Xiao had just been about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped.

Bai Cai saw the same thing he did and was also too surprised to speak.

There was no doubting that Yuan Ze’s operation had been extremely strong. However…

Close hadn’t died.

He only had a few dozen HP left, and it was already a critical injury among critical injuries, with his health bar dropping down until it was basically empty.

Any light touch, even if the blood demon just touched him slightly, would be enough to make him fall to the ground.

But…

The blood raven thief started up its blood oath skill. The ravens screamed, raven feathers swirled, then accurately wrapped around the blood warrior in front of him.

The 0.5 second control effect was enough for Close to make use of feather transformation to pull away.

Yuan Ze was stunned briefly. By the time he was able to control the frozen blood warrior, he’d already been hit by ‘blood oath’!

The blood raven thief’s ultimate move had a very terrifying blood sucking rate based on its health volume.

The lower Close’s health was, the faster the blood sucking speed would be. He was on the verge of being completely empty of health and had activated the maximum blood sucking efficiency!

Yuan Ze, who’d been at full health, watched as his own health was sucked away by the blood raven feathers.

The blood raven adjutant’s blood oath came from the blood demon general’s gift.

But at this moment, the blood raven in the canyon devoured its general’s entire life!

Watching as Yuan Ze was about to be killed instead…

The blood warrior once again used its phantom, and the phantom figure rushed back to his side. At the critical moment when he had only one last sliver of health left, Yuan Ze shifted positions and broke away from Close’s blood oath.

This wave of back and forth attacks was extremely breathtaking.

Without mentioning the two people in the canyon, just the ‘audience’ watching outside could already feel their scalps go numb and wished they could log into the game and fight 300 rounds right away.

These immortal level moves were too damned stimulating!

Wei Xiao’s eyes were burning. One moment, he’d wanted to go and hammer Old Dog Yuan to death, and in the next moment, he’d wanted to solo with the captain. It was simply…

“Ahhhhh,” Wei Xiao was super annoyed, “Why am I not in North America!”

That way, he could use the blood thief to fight against the blood warrior, and then use the blood warrior to fight against the blood thief.

How could such a wonderful thing in life be so far away from him!
