The full-time master's double peak

Chapter 124 [130] All-Star (12) Shadow Step

The emcee, who was about to go on stage but was halfway there, stumbled and almost fell to the ground when he heard Ye Xiu's words. He felt like he had let a wolf into the house, because Ye Xiu was on the competition stage because he had gone to Ye Xiu hoping to persuade Tang Rou.

Just as I was about to run to stop them, I heard the director's voice through my earpiece: "Damn, finally a replacement! Hurry up and get them ready to go, we've been running commercials for five minutes already!"

The emcee was just a program host, so he didn't dare to have any opinions and quickly announced the second challenger to come on stage.

"Hey you over there, are you ready?" Ye Xiu asked, sitting down and lighting a cigarette.

"Why don't you just log into the game!" Du Ming was extremely frustrated.

"Oh, just a moment." After saying that, Ye Xiu got up, took out his account card from his pocket, and logged into the game under the stunned gazes of Tang Rou and the calm eyes of Lin Xichen. He had learned the trick of taking out his account card from Lin Xichen's pocket, which left Tang Rou speechless. He was quite vengeful.

Ye Xiu logged into the game, Dawn of the Gods prepared, and Du Ming started selecting a map. After flipping through the pages, he said, "You get to choose the map?"

"No need, let's just do it randomly," Ye Xiu said.

Du Ming forced himself to stay alert and clicked "Start." No matter what, he dared not be careless again. He hadn't been able to fully recover the face he lost to Tang Rou's decisive defeat earlier. Although he won later, he couldn't erase the fact that he lost to a novice girl.

Both characters loaded into the map and took their respective corners. The battle was about to begin. Ye Xiu looked at the holographic projection outside the window of the arena and sighed, "This is a really good spot."

The battle begins

Du Ming's swordsman had already charged forward, but Ye Xiu was still familiarizing himself with the key bindings. Everyone has their own preferred key bindings, and while Ye Xiu didn't care about any particular key binding, he needed to know what skill each key binding represented beforehand. Lin Xichen and Tang Rou stood silently to the side, Tang Rou watching intently; she had never truly witnessed Ye Xiu's Battle Mage form before.

Ye Xiu familiarized himself with the key bindings. Du Ming's swordsman, however, wouldn't wait for him. He rushed forward, unleashing a triple slash, and charged even faster towards Ye Xiu's battle mage!
Tang Rou had experienced the starting move of the Triple Slash before and found it easy to deal with, but she was more curious about Ye Xiu's countermeasure. However, she saw that Ye Xiu didn't even try to do anything, and the first strike of the Triple Slash just grazed past her face.

Du Ming was already shocked. He didn't know if he had calculated the distance accurately or if it was just a coincidence. If he had calculated it accurately, then the strength of this second challenger was at least above his own!

Then, seeing Chenxi Shuguang take a step to the right, Du Ming knew that this was no coincidence; at this distance, the second sword would also miss.

As Chenxi Shuguang raised his spear, he unleashed a Heavenly Strike. Du Ming hurriedly canceled his Triple Slash, attempting to block it, but found that the Heavenly Strike was extremely tricky at the angle, and his block could not stop it.

With a soft "poof," Du Ming's swordsman was already airborne. Before the audience could even understand what was happening, Du Ming was already airborne at the start of the battle. The professional players, however, were already wide-eyed. Most of the professional players had only heard of the account "Chenxi Shuguang" and not many knew that it belonged to Lin Xichen. Even Ye Xiu didn't know it at first.

He's a master! Many professional players have already concluded that just from that one move and that Sky Strike, you can see that the skill level involved is definitely beyond what ordinary players can achieve.

Of course, it would be arbitrary to draw conclusions so easily. The professional players put aside their initial spectator mentality and began to watch the show seriously.

Du Ming reacted quickly, using a Silver Light Slash to stun the character, but Chenxi Shuguang was nowhere to be seen. The professional players watching the broadcast saw that when Silver Light Slash landed, Chenxi Shuguang moved behind the swordsman without Du Ming noticing.

"Is that Shadow Step?!" the professional players murmured.

"Who exactly is this person?"
