Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

"What's going on?" Chen Guo asked worriedly, seeing Tang Rou's skill disappear, thinking Tang Rou had made a mistake. After all, the previous attack, "Soaring Dragon," was practically perfect, but it was canceled just as it was about to unleash its strongest damage.

While Chen Guo was still anxious, she turned her head and saw Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu smiling with some relief. Their expressions didn't seem like those of Tang Rou after making a mistake.

What happened next made Chen Guo realize the source of Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu's gratified expressions. Although Tang Rou canceled the Dragon Soaring Sky attack, her offensive did not stop. The spear in her hand transformed into a battle staff that was longer than a regular battle staff.

This is the second form of Tang Rou's weapon. Of course, Tang Rou's weapon only has these two forms, since battle mages only use these two. Due to the transformation, Tang Rou's battle staff is longer and heavier than a normal battle staff, which is an advantage but also results in a 2-point slower attack speed. Even so, this battle staff still has an attack speed of 8, far faster than a spear. It just lacks the attack power and range of a spear. Tang Rou simply doesn't like using it because of its relatively weak attack power.

But now that she has reached near-divine status, she naturally doesn't need such a large attack range. In addition, Tang Rou's attack speed was affected by the opponent's Nianlong Wave, but with the transformation of Tang Rou's weapon, her attack speed increased instead of decreased!

Although Tang Rou canceled the Dragon Soaring to the Sky attack, her offensive showed no signs of stopping. Tang Rou moved forward and once again sent the Qi Master of Wuji flying with a Sky Strike. Then, Dragon Fang, Overlord Shatter, Sky Strike, Consecutive Thrusts, and various magical runes rolled in...

Soon, Tang Rou's buffs erased the previous debuffs, and the battle staff in her hand transformed back into a spear!

Only then did Chen Guo realize that she had forgiven Tang Rou for the relatively long recovery animation after the "Soaring Dragon" skill. With the debuff in effect, Tang Rou was absolutely unable to catch the opponent's continued combo. Therefore, she canceled the skill and changed the weapon's form. Although she lost the final output effect of "Soaring Dragon," she used the skill's grab effect to control the opponent. Then came a series of combos, while simultaneously improving her own status.

If they had continued using the "Soaring Dragon" technique, they wouldn't have been in such a proactive position, since Tang Rou's debuff hadn't disappeared yet.

She made so many judgments in just a moment, even giving up on a high-damage ultimate move like Fulong Xiangtian. Her decisiveness was truly amazing. Only then did Chen Guo realize that Tang Rou was becoming more and more professional.

so good……

Watching her best friend's dazzling performance on the field, it was impossible for her not to feel envious. After all, she also wished she could make such a spectacular play on the Glory stage and show off her skills. Unfortunately, her talent and conditions were limited, so she could only place her hopes on the rest of the team. Seeing her two best friends grow so much, she instantly understood Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu's sense of pride.

Must win!

Chen Guo realized that this wasn't just about this particular match, because she genuinely hoped that Tang Rou and her team, along with their characters, could stand on the professional stage and win the championship, which represented the ultimate honor.

Tang Rou's decision to forgo building damage in order to gain the initiative was very gratifying, even to acquaintances like Xiao Nai, let alone the members of the Wuji team.

At this moment, the Wuji team members looked at Tang Rou's character with a different gaze. They knew that the opponent's playstyle was strong, but they did not expect it to be this strong. Now, their Qi Master player was clearly unable to play freely.

Although Tang Rou and Qiao Jingjing weren't yet at the point of learning advanced techniques like the Shadow Step, even ordinary combos weren't easily countered by an opponent skilled in internal energy cultivation. Their two attempts to break the stalemate both failed.

Having been suppressed by two rookie pros, Tang Rou and Qiao Jingjing, Wuji Team's last bit of professional player superiority was completely shattered.

Even though their Qi Master finally managed to break through on the third attempt, he still couldn't escape Tang Rou's suppression. Tang Rou's Soft Mist Sword directly closed in and relentlessly pursued his opponent.

This situation made the Wuji players increasingly anxious and unable to remain calm, which in turn made them more vulnerable. Fortunately, under Xiao Nai's tutelage, these vulnerabilities were exactly what the Xingxin team was best at exploiting. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Rou struck her opponent in the chest with a Falling Flower Palm, slamming him into a pillar a meter behind him, and then continued her close-range attacks.

An absolute advantage!
Even with such an advantage, Tang Rou showed no sign of letting up. Even though victory was assured, Tang Rou's fierce offensive showed no sign of stopping.

Finally, Wuji's Qigong master fell to the ground under Tang Rou's relentless attack.

While wins and losses are common in competitions, the problem for the Wuji team right now is that Tang Rou performed better in this match than Qiao Jingjing did, with a series of attacks reducing her health by less than a third. Qiao Jingjing, on the other hand, only had 65% health remaining after her initial 50% health was depleted.

In the very first match of the arena, Tang Rou had already widened the gap so much.

While this doesn't necessarily mean the gap between the two sides is really that big—after all, the concept of skill is rather abstract and highly dependent on performance, not something that can be completely quantified—the difference in their performances in this match was quite obvious.

This slight difference immediately ignited the excitement of Happy's fans. Amidst the cheers of Happy's fans and their mockery of those who were proven wrong, the second round of the competition officially began.

The second match of the arena was between the elemental mage from the Wuji team. The current situation put the "slap in the face" faction in a very passive position. After all, Tang Rou's current record speaks for itself. Even if she lost this match, she had already killed one opponent. Losing with a disadvantage in health points was normal, and they couldn't say anything. But they soon realized they were wrong.

As things stand, Tang Rou also holds the advantage in the second battle!

Indeed, after some maneuvering, Tang Rou had managed to get close to the elemental mage. Compared to the Qi Master, who still had some melee ability, the elemental mage's melee ability was truly pathetic.

As soon as they got close, the Wuji Elemental Mage's health began to disappear rapidly, and soon his health was at the same level as Tang Rou's. At this point, the Wuji team's Elemental Mage's initial advantage of one-quarter of health was completely lost.

The elemental mage from Wuji could only catch his breath by creating distance again, but the elemental mage's teleportation was instantaneous, perfectly matching Tang Rou's staff form's ability to use this skill. Although the skill level was relatively low, combined with the powerful Dragon Breaking Army, she still managed to keep the opponent firmly in her grasp. A final burst of damage took down the elemental mage, leaving Tang Rou with only one-fifth of her health to face Wuji's last opponent. (End of Chapter)
