Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

According to current general understanding, the most effective ways to determine whether an opponent is a professional player without engaging in a direct confrontation are twofold: long-distance movement and water combat.

Long-distance movement goes without saying; Xiao Nai and his team have already used this to test many professional players. Water combat is another example. Compared to the aversion of ordinary players to underwater operations, this is one of the daily training contents for professional players.

Therefore, you can tell what kind of person someone is by how they behave in the water.

And "One Inch Gray" refers to Qiao Yifan, a profession directly listed in the team information. However, aside from people like Xiao Nai who are familiar with Yifan, most people would probably guess that he once played for a championship team like Tiny Herb.

Even though Yifan had once appeared on stage at the All-Star Game, he performed so poorly that no one paid any attention to him anymore.

The Wuji team naturally had no way of knowing that this young man was actually from a championship team. Even if Yi Fan was just a benchwarmer at Tiny Herb, he was still a benchwarmer for a championship team. Since he was with a championship team, Yi Fan had undergone the rigorous training of Tiny Herb's championship-level training. Even though he was using a different role now, the universal operation of underwater maneuvers didn't have a significant impact on the role switch. Not to mention, with Qiao Yi Fan's hard work during this period, he had now mastered these skills perfectly.

Yifan is currently moving slowly underwater, at a pace that avoids causing ripples on the surface. Yifan's intention is clear: to move closer to the target and launch a direct attack.

Meanwhile, Wuji, the contestant on the other side, was also taken aback by Qiao Yifan's underwater movement. He instantly realized that his opponent was no ordinary person, and no longer let his guard down. His nerves tightened instantly, and he slowed down his movement, cautiously moving towards the water area where Yifan had jumped in earlier.

The player from Wuji was well aware that the water on this map wasn't deep, meaning it couldn't completely conceal the characters. As long as you got a little closer, you could see the opponent beneath the surface.

As for how close, that depends on the angle. So now, Wuji has abandoned his initial desire to end the battle quickly and is moving steadily while calculating the time. After all, the character's underwater time is limited, and as soon as the opponent comes out to breathe, that will be his opportunity.

However, when the Wuji team calculated the breathing time, they did not find any trace of the opponent showing their face.

Where did they go?
Had the opponent already taken a breath in a place he hadn't noticed? Thinking this, Wuji suddenly felt a surge of anxiety. They had chosen this map partly to take advantage of the rookie team's lack of map practice. But now, the opponent was using that against him, putting him in a passive position.

This caught him off guard for a while.

Do you want to go into the water?

The thought crossed the player's mind, but the problem was that although they had practiced naval combat, his skill level was limited, and his naval combat ability was also questionable. After all, he wasn't a true professional player; he had joined the Wuji team after it was relegated, filling the inevitable personnel losses. He had never competed professionally again, and although he practiced naval combat, he didn't know his own level, even feeling that he might be among the weaker players.

Because of this situation, seeing his opponent so decisively enter the water, he worried that water combat was precisely what his opponent excelled at. Coupled with his opponent's recent performance, this made him even more hesitant to go in directly. Should he test the waters first before making a decision?
After a moment's thought, Wuji made his decision and then unleashed a barrage of shots at the large body of water where Qiao Yifan had jumped.

Since basic attacks cost no resources, he simply unleashed a flurry of attacks. Unfortunately, all that was done was create some splashes of water, scattering lotus flowers and leaves. This oblivious player, however, paid no heed to these minor details. His attention remained focused on the water's surface; any movement by his opponent to dodge his attacks would inevitably affect the water's surface.

"Found!"

Soon, amidst the splashing water, Wuji noticed a ripple on the water surface that was somewhat different from his own. Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and launched another wave of intense attacks. However, this time it was no longer a normal attack, but rather he used all the skills he could to unleash their power. At the same time, his character was also approaching that area to probe and find the opponent's exact location, so that he could effectively suppress them with firepower later.

After all, the advantage of a sharpshooter lies in high-speed and dense long-range attacks. As long as a strong suppressive force is maintained, it will be a question whether the opponent can even come up. After all, suppressing a target in the water is much easier than suppressing one on land.

At this moment, the player's previously tense state finally relaxed slightly, and even the character's movements felt lighter. The player moved skillfully along the corridor, his gaze never leaving the water, and his attacks never ceased. However, his attacks didn't seem to cause much damage to his opponent. Even so, with the previous lock-on, he had a rough idea of ​​his opponent's location. He believed he was getting closer and closer and would soon be able to see his opponent clearly.

Boo!
But just as the sharpshooter felt he was about to succeed, a soft sound suddenly rang out, pinning his character to the spot. Simultaneously, waves of ice completely enveloped his character, and powerful icy energy erupted from him. The player instantly realized what was happening and looked down into the water.

Then, an ice-blue sword spirit, somewhat similar in color to the water's surface, floated in the water, its form obscured by the surface.

冰阵
As a magic skill for the Ghost Swordsman, Ice Array naturally does not have strict positional requirements, so it can be used in water without any problem. However, although Ice Array is in water, the walkway above the skill is still within the skill's coverage area. The Wuji team had been focusing on the target but did not notice that they had walked into the ice array trap set by the opponent.

The advantage of the ice array lies in its control, while its damage is naturally very limited, but this is only the beginning. Wuji soon saw a figure in the water, wielding a katana that flashed with demonic power.

Blade Soul Guardian, Plague Soul Guardian, Blood Soul Guardian...

One after another, the power of ghosts and gods was summoned, and for a moment, no one knew how many ghost arrays the opponent had stacked here. As the ice array froze him, the effects of other ghost arrays that had been placed beforehand, just like the ice array, also took effect on him. Including the ones released by Qiao Yifan later, the negative statuses under his character were lined up in a row, like a debuff party.

As the final ghostly array collapsed, the figure of One Inch Gray suddenly leaped out from beneath the water, his katana, the Forbidden Blade of Calamity, descending with a dark slash. At this moment, this space was Yi Fan's domain! (End of Chapter)
