The trend created by Juan Canyun on Weibo is still continuing to ferment. Various marketing accounts are digging deep into the relationship between Juan Canyun and Lady Disaster. Various articles related to Juan Canyun are instantly flying all over Weibo.
Like "Pay attention to the psychological problems of VR professional players, is it difficult to distinguish between games and reality?"
"What kind of character is Lady Disaster, to whom top professional player Juan Canyun confessed his love?"
This series of articles came flooding in, but they were no longer related to Juan Canyun, because the second half of the Holy Spirit's quarterfinals had already begun.
The first round is between Zhao Mingwei and Eternal Rosh.
Juan Canyun sat on the sofa and looked at the big screen in the training room. In the eyes of most professional players, this match was not a suspense at all.
Because Xiao Ye is so strong, the eleven professional players in Leaping Core have the most direct experience.
Hei Guo Zhu Rou even cursed several times in the quarterfinals some time ago, saying, "What the hell is the decline in form! This guy is at his peak! I think he is even better than his peak!"
That’s right…the reason why Heiguozhurou failed to advance to the quarterfinals was because he was matched against Zhao Mingwei several times in the points game, which broke his winning streak.
This also led to the fact that when players were matched, they would say, "Oh my god! Xiao Ye has started to match!" "I'm going to collect clothes!" "I'm going to have tea!" "My wife is going to give birth!" "I'm going to give birth!"
High-ranking players and a number of professional players avoided the time period when Zhao Mingwei was matched as if they had encountered the plague god. They only continued to match after confirming from all parties that Zhao Mingwei had entered the duel arena.
Only a very small number of truly top-tier players dared to continue matching during Zhao Mingwei's matching period. All members of Leaping Nuclear believed this, including Hei Guo Zhu Rou, who also felt that he had won the Dissidia World Championship anyway.
How could a little retired old player be their opponent
As a result... there is a high probability that they are no match for him. The winning rate of the professional players of Leaping Nuclear when matched with Zhao Mingwei is 70:3, Zhao Mingwei has 70% and they have 30%. This is the statistics specially calculated by Hei Guo Zhu Rou.
Perhaps the only one among the Holy Spirits who could face Zhao Mingwei head-on was Caramel, and they could barely even draw a 50-50 tie.
As for Eternal Rosh? Zhao Mingwei has broken Rosh's speedrun record three times in a row.
The latest speedrun record was exactly two points, which Zhao Mingwei achieved with a desperate style of play. In the knockout round, Zhao Mingwei chose to use a steady approach to deal with Rosh.
So Roche experienced what despair was like in this game. It was the first time she felt that a Holy Spirit could be so difficult to deal with.
In the final three minutes and twenty-one seconds, Zhao Mingwei eliminated the Eternal Rosh with only one-third of his health left.
The battle went smoothly. An hour later, the battle between Caramel and the Eternal Huzel began.
Huzel's skills are far superior to Roche's, and Caramel is certainly not much weaker than the other.
This battle is simply the pinnacle showdown in swordsmanship. It is breathtaking in terms of both the viewing experience and the skills. It is a great pleasure to watch for both experts and laymen!
The heat of the duel between Caramel and Huzel even temporarily overshadowed the discussion about the relationship between Juan Canyun and Lady Disaster.
When Juan Canyun was watching the duel between the two sides nervously, Mo Shigui, who was standing behind him, suddenly blurted out something.
"There's something wrong with that NPC named Xuzel." Mo Shigui said.
"Something's wrong? It's common for NPCs to have high attack power. What's wrong?" a team member asked puzzledly.
"There's a problem with the balance, and I always feel that Caramel is facing two people at the same time, and there's a gap on Caramel's Moonlight Sword." Mo Shigui instantly gave his analysis. As a coach over the years, he has also developed a strong ability to observe the battlefield.
This is also the reason why he can become the battlefield commander of Leaping Nucleus and the only designated president of the guild.
"Gap? Caramel's durability should be improved when he enters the arena..." Black Pot Cooked Meat was saying this.
Suddenly, with a 'ding' sound, the Moonlight Sword that Caramel was swinging towards Huzel suddenly broke. The blade of the Moonlight Sword hit the flaming long knife in Huzel's hand. At the moment of breaking, Huzel took this opportunity to cut off Caramel's left arm.
"Limb-breaking effect? Does the Holy Spirit battle have a limb-breaking effect?"
This scene made all the players of Leaping Nuclear unable to sit still and stood up immediately.
The Holy Spirit's combat system is very complete, but some combat systems are not recorded in it...that is...the limb-severance effect.
"There is a disability system, but there is definitely no limb-breaking system in player PVP. Players can cut off monsters' limbs, but monsters cannot bite off players' limbs. Even if they are cut off, they will recover quickly." A member of the Leaping Nuclear team analyzed.
One advantage of the Holy Spirit as an energy body is that if the enemy cuts off the Holy Spirit's limbs, they will soon be repaired by the energy of creation, so it is impossible for the enemy to restrict the Holy Spirit's actions by cutting it into a human stick.
But Caramel's left arm, which was cut off by Huzel, did not recover, and no blood flowed out, as if half of it disappeared out of thin air.
Caramel was stunned for a moment but quickly used the shadowless sword in his right hand to block Huzel's attack. However, it was a evenly matched battle, and Caramel, who had lost an arm, could hardly withstand Huzel's violent attack.
Originally, Huzel was forced into a desperate situation by Caramel, with only one-tenth of his health left, and Caramel only had three-tenths of his health left. However, Huzel took the opportunity of cutting off Caramel's arm to clear Caramel's health in one fell swoop.
"The players' weapons shouldn't have any destructive effects. Is this a new update to the game system?" The players of Leaping Nuclear are very familiar with Holy Spirit's combat system.
The Holy Spirit also has the effect of equipment breaking. After the durability drops to zero, the equipment will turn red and cannot be used, but this kind of broken situation is impossible to happen, and Caramel doesn't seem like the kind of careless person who doesn't repair his equipment before going to the battlefield.
"Annihilation effect."
Mo Shigui suddenly said something effective that his teammates had never heard of.
"This is an effect unique to the Annihilation Legion, but we have fought against the Annihilation Legion too little... I only have an impression that things eliminated by the Annihilation Legion will be exiled to an Annihilation Realm and be in an exiled state. Caramel's left hand may not have disappeared, it's just been exiled." Mo Shigui said the abilities of the Annihilation Legion.
"Exile? Hasn't Xuzel always been using the power of the Fire Blade? How could he know the tricks of the Annihilation Legion?" All the contestants were game experts, and they quickly understood what Mo Shigui meant.
"I don't know about that. He may go to find Fanxing again, but his next opponent is Mingwei."
Mo Shigui watched the live broadcast. The semi-finals started with Zhao Mingwei's side, who faced the Eternal One Huzel.
Less than half an hour after Hutzer defeated Caramel, the semi-final kicked off.
When Huzel walked into the game map without saying a word, he was faced with... Zhao Mingwei, who had a somewhat scary expression.
"You hold the power of the Annihilation Legion, right? Can you tell me where you came from? Who are you?" Zhao Mingwei entered the state of the beast dragon and tiger roar, looking at the silent Huzel in the distance and said, "What is your purpose?"
Xuzel didn't answer Zhao Mingwei, but drew his sword and rushed towards him. However, he still seriously underestimated Zhao Mingwei's fighting ability. After just one contact, Xuzel was suppressed by Zhao Mingwei's dragon and tiger roar and could not fight back.
“So strong!”
A group of professional players of Leaping Nuclear couldn't help but sigh when watching the confrontation between Zhao Mingwei and Huzel.
"He has evolved again." As the friend who knows Zhao Mingwei best, Mo Shigui can see that Zhao Mingwei's skills or combat level have been sublimated again.
"Evolution? What evolution? Coach, do you think Xiao Ye is a Digimon? It turns out that he tortured us to death a few years ago and is still in the growth stage?" Hei Guo Zhu Rou complained.
"No, maybe it's just in its infancy. He started to evolve after coming into contact with the Holy Spirit, and now is the growth stage." Mo Shigui took up the black pot and boiled meat's complaints, "The Holy Spirit can bring out our latent potential. Haven't you all confirmed this?"
After the battles with the Black Embers Knight and Deng Xis, Zhao Mingwei's combat skills, intuition, and physical fitness were once again sublimated.
Zhao Mingwei has collected four Mind Beasts for the awakening mission. When Mo Shigui was watching Zhao Mingwei and Xuzel fighting, he suddenly realized that... the Holy Spirit is not such a balanced game.
There is also an unbridgeable gap between the top players and the great players.
So strong... Juan Canyun looked at Xuzel who was being beaten by Zhao Mingwei, and a creepy feeling occupied his heart.
If he fought against Xiao Ye, would he be able to win? Juan Canyun had no confidence, as he could see the gap just by looking at them.
In less than two minutes, Xuzel's health was reduced by half by Zhao Mingwei, while Zhao Mingwei only lost one-third of his health.
"Hey! Xiao Wen, stop looking and log in quickly. Your game is about to begin." A team member reminded Juan Canyun.
"Xiao Wen's opponent is Lady Disaster, right? He has already confessed his love to Lady Disaster on Weibo, so he probably can't bear to beat his wife?"
"I support you to give up directly. Few people are willing to hit their wives who are so cute."
All the team members urged Juan Canyun to give up the competition, because if Juan Canyun participated, it would mean fighting with Lady Disaster.
Juan Canyun didn't really listen to their suggestions. He picked up his phone and logged into the Holy Spirit Forum to check out the opinions of the forum brothers.
'The great master Juan Canyun will definitely let me win! He even confessed his love for his wife on Weibo!'
"Others rely on their skills to get into the quarterfinals. What can we say about letting them win? It's just like giving away points with Freya."
'Alas, I feel sorry for Master Juan Canyun. There are too many unreasonable trolls on Weibo.'
Most of the forum brothers still support the relationship between Juan Canyun and Lady Disaster, and they can understand if Juan Canyun abstains.
After all, a real man would not have the heart to hit someone he likes.
But...what about Juan Canyun’s decision
He looked up at Zhao Mingwei, who was in great spirits in the live broadcast, and heavy pressure gathered in his heart when Juan Canyun walked towards the VR equipment in the VR training room.
At this moment, Juan Canyun's pressure was even greater than during the Dissidia World Championship.
But he still forced himself to control his stress, logged into the game and went straight into the arena.
In the knockout arena, Lady Disaster had been waiting for him for a long time.
"You..." Juan Canyun saw Lady Disaster after more than half a month. He wanted to say something but his words were stuck in his throat. Finally, he set his eyes on Lady Disaster's abdomen.
The wound caused by Freya's ice spike has not yet healed.
"You are injured." Juan Canyun held it in for a long time and finally only said these four words.
"So what are you going to do? Boy... How about just forfeiting and letting me go to the finals?"
Lady Disaster loaded the rifle in her hand, and there was no sound of weakness in her voice.
"… "
Juan Canyun gritted his teeth and did not answer the other party. He waved his hand...the pure white unparalleled gun energy gathered in his hand.
These unparalleled gun energies condensed on Juan Canyun's entire body and spear, and in an instant Juan Canyun entered the state of unparalleled gun soul.
"Is the answer no? Then don't blame me for chopping off your head." Lady Disaster looked at Juan Canyun and understood that Juan Canyun did not intend to give up!
She pulled the trigger directly at Juan Canyun, and the shotgun shells shot out in all directions and turned into smoke and dust that obscured the vision and surrounded Juan Canyun.
In an instant, Lady Disaster fired three consecutive shots at the smoke and dust, but all of them hit the phantom created by Juan Canyun using the Xingyun Jue.
At this moment, Lady Disaster suddenly looked up, Juan Canyun had already leaped into the sky, and the long spear transformed by the Wushuang Gun Qi was thrown at Lady Disaster. Lady Disaster waved the scimitar in her hand to deflect the spear.
The power of the spear was so great that after Lady Disaster bounced back, the spear directly shattered the ground next to her.
"You really have the guts to do that, boy! It seems that I'm just an enemy in your eyes!" Lady Disaster couldn't control her emotions and yelled at Juan Canyun.
Juan Canyun did not answer. The moment he threw the spear, he had already landed on the ground and rushed towards Lady Disaster...
Deadly Thunder Gun!
Juan Canyun's first move was an extremely powerful skill second only to awakening. The spear in his hand transformed into hundreds of afterimages and stabbed towards Lady Disaster.
Lady Disaster pulled the trigger again in the direction of the spear that Juan Canyun was stabbing, but Juan Canyun used the Xingyun Jue to free himself again, allowing his phantom to continue the attack with the Deadly Thunder Spear, while he himself avoided Lady Disaster's shooting.
The unparalleled gun energy shot out by the phantom hit Lady Disaster. Hundreds of wounds appeared all over her body in an instant. Lady Disaster endured the pain from the wounds and kept backing away.
But Juan Canyun seized this opportunity and appeared behind Lady Disaster...
"Cough..." Lady Disaster coughed up a mouthful of blood at this time. Juan Canyun looked at her weak and painful appearance, and the stabbing movement of the spear in his hand suddenly slowed down.
Lady Disaster took this opportunity to pull the trigger at Juan Canyun, and the shotgun like a wall directly covered Juan Canyun.
Juan Canyun took all the damage from the shot, and in an instant his health was reduced to one third!
This made Juan Canyun retreat quickly, and Lady Disaster also distanced herself from Juan Canyun.
“Your soft-heartedness makes me sick!” Lady Disaster’s fiery red hair had fallen down due to excessive fighting. Her entire body was covered with scars from being stabbed by Juan Canyun. However, Lady Disaster still calmly reloaded the musket in her hand while shouting at Juan Canyun, “Don’t show mercy! I am your enemy! Boy!”
No mercy.
Juan Canyun had already realized this during the previous encounter. The damage of Lady Disaster was too high. If he showed any hesitation or soft-heartedness, Lady Disaster would seize the opportunity to kill him!
He must win!
Having made up his mind, Juan Canyun rushed towards Lady Disaster again.
The roar of the angry dragon! The moving cloud technique! The rising dragon breaking the sky spear!
Juan Canyun poured all his skills and damage into Lady of Disaster. Lady of Disaster was no match for Juan Canyun at all, judging by his combat skills alone.
The health of Lady Disaster began to drop madly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, Juan Canyun stabbed out a shot, which went straight through Lady Disaster's chest, completely emptying Lady Disaster's health.
The blood gushing out from Lady Disaster's chest splashed into Juan Canyun's eyes. At this moment, Juan Canyun's entire body was covered in Lady Disaster's blood.
When Juan Canyun pulled out his spear, Lady Disaster had already knelt in his arms.
"Boy..." Lady Disaster said in a weak voice beside Juan Canyun's ear, and at the same time stroked Juan Canyun's cheek with her blood-stained arm, "You are still so strong."
Juan Canyun stood there in a daze, and he also knelt on the ground. The spear in his hand had slipped off, and he held Lady Disaster, who was lying in a pool of blood, in his hands.
At this moment, Juan Canyun made up his mind, stared into Lady Disaster's eyes and said...
"Your wish...I'll help you realize it!"
After hearing this, Lady Disaster was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily, and her laughter echoed throughout the arena.
"Boy, I'm sleepy. Let me take a nap first." After saying this, Lady Disaster slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment, the door on the other side of the arena was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked slowly into the arena, looking at Juan Canyun, who was kneeling in a pool of blood, his whole body covered in blood, and holding Lady Disaster.
Juan Canyun also raised his head and looked at the figure walking out from the other side of the arena. As he expected, it was Zhao Mingwei, laughing, Xiao Ye.
The man who created countless myths in the Chinese e-sports circle, the idol of all professional players, the only god, the goal that all professional players want to surpass!
Juan Canyun slowly laid the sleeping Lady Disaster flat on the ground.
He reached out and picked up the spear beside him that was stained with the blood of Lady Disaster, and then he swung the spear in his hand violently.
The blood on the spear was instantly thrown onto the ground, and the spear head once again shone with a sharp cold light, with Zhao Mingwei's face reflected on the blade.
"Senior, I want to win this match!" Juan Canyun, covered in blood, looked at Zhao Mingwei from afar and said in a deep voice.
The moment the words fell, the unparalleled gun energy surrounding Juan Canyun gradually spread out, forming a huge gun-holding phantom like a god of war behind Juan Canyun.
"Really? Then let's give it a try."
Zhao Mingwei threw aside the right arm and long sword that he had torn off from Huzel. The moment he finished speaking... the shadows of the four divine beasts appeared behind Zhao Mingwei with their roars.
