Chapter 1334 Pressure

Fists collide, fighting spirits intersect.

The ultimate duel made the whole space excited.

The wills of the two strong men moved every spectator.

But in the end, only one person could win.

"Haaa...Haaa..." When the clouds of gas and light dispersed, the winner on the battlefield was lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath in exhaustion.

And the loser was already swallowed by the energy released by the moves and turned into white light.

"Did I... win..." At this time, Asura had returned to normal from the state of [Extreme Martial Arts-Ashura Transformation] and entered a state of exhaustion; let alone sitting up, it was difficult to even move a finger.

Although he did defeat his opponent, psychologically, he did not feel the slightest "victory".

In a battle of equal strength like the one just now, it would not be surprising if anyone survived.

…………

At the same time, the Order Team was in the viewing space.

"Hey, everyone, sorry for the wait." Zuiwo Cangran, who was teleported back, greeted his teammates in a very normal manner.

"Hey, hey... what's the matter with you sounding like you've just won a victory?" Seeing his attitude, Gui Xiao couldn't help but complain, "You've already been ruined by losing to that little devil, right?"

"Ha! Aren't you also a little devil? I get beaten by you every now and then. If I'm ruined every time, then my moral integrity would have been broken into powder a long time ago, right?" Zuiwo Cangran raised his hand and stroked his ramen head, smiling and replied.

"Although you lost, you seem to be in a good mood..." Wusi Canxuan looked at him and said with his eyes empty.

"Ah... because it was quite fun to play." Zui Wo said sadly, "Besides... since the result has come out, there is nothing to worry about."

"Burp~" At this time, Meng Jingchan burped and interrupted, "Alas... you are still good in terms of mentality. This kind of professional quality of 'never give up or relax before the end of the game, and let yourself go immediately after the game is over regardless of the outcome' is really enviable."

"Hmph..." Sashimi heard this and continued, "You are the one who lets yourself go anytime and anywhere, so you are the least qualified to say this..."

From the state of these five people who acted as if nothing had happened and complained about each other, the loss of the first battle did not seem to have any effect on their emotions.

However, the other two in the team were still a little nervous.

Those two were the ace sniper of Order [Barcode] and the auxiliary player of the team [Yezhi].

In S2, they were all members of "Order Team 2"; in S3, due to the change in the competition system, they were incorporated into this seven-person team under the arrangement of the studio.

In this competition, Barcode is under a lot of pressure. He was originally a player of the same level as "Zuishengmengsi" in the studio, but because of Gui Xiao's joining, he has been squeezed into the position of "sixth man"... Considering that he is not young anymore, if he leaves the competition early again, he will probably be transferred to the "second-tier lineup" after the game. In that case... the resources invested by the studio in him, including his personal income and treatment, popularity among fans, etc., will be affected.

These... are very realistic problems, and they are also what every professional player who is getting closer to retirement age must face.

In addition, Ye Zhi... is also under pressure; her situation is similar to Jianghu's [Xiaowen Cangtian]. Although she is still participating in the competition, she is actually in a semi-retired state now. As soon as S3 ends, she is ready to move to the company's management. As a member of the "quasi-management", she certainly does not want her team to "fight a game happily and without regrets, and then be eliminated in the first round".

"You guys..." Sure enough, after listening to the cheerful conversation of the team members for a while, Ye Zhi's face was gloomy and he slowly said, "... Have you all made up your mind?"

When the others heard Ye Zhi speak, and his tone was unfriendly, they quickly shut up and turned to listen to the speech of the "leader".

"Uh... Mr. Ye..." Zuiwo Canran was not stupid. He was always very obedient when communicating with the "leader". "You mean 'enlightenment'..."

"Looking at you guys laughing and joking..." Ye Zhi continued, "I guess you are confident... Even if we lose the first game, it will not change the result of our team's final victory and advancement... right?" She paused, and suddenly smiled on her face, "You should also know that if we [Order] are eliminated in the first round, and we lose to our old enemy [Gods], how will the media report it tomorrow?"

Although her demeanor was not scary, her momentum had frightened the other six people into silence, and even Gui Xiao swallowed nervously.

"Don't think that the penalty for losing this game is just to deduct some bonuses." When saying this, Ye Zhi's smile became more and more brilliant, her bright eyes narrowed with laughter, and her tone was also very kind and gentle, "I am a girl, and I am both a player and a team leader. After training with you idiots, I have to work overtime as a manager... The pressure is really great; what if this time something like 'Order Studio lost in the first round of the S3 competition and was eliminated' happens, causing me, who could have been promoted directly to the manager level after retirement... to become an assistant sister serving tea and water..." At this point, her smile and tone as warm as the spring breeze revealed a burst of bone-chilling coldness, "...I will kill you with my own hands."

…………

The five-minute break passed quickly, and the second match between [Order] and [Gods] - 2V2 midfield battle, was about to begin.

With the voice prompt [The game will start in thirty seconds], the players of the two teams were transferred to the battlefield.

The two players of the Order team were [Sashimi] and [Barcode].

At first glance, it was clear that this was a combination that was good at long-range combat. The former's wide-area reconnaissance ability and the latter's shooting ability were a perfect match.

At this moment, due to Sister Ye Zhi's "encouragement" just now, Sashimi and Barcode, who had just entered the venue, stared at their opponents with eyes that seemed to want to eat them alive. Although there was a barrier between them, their "life and death" momentum had already been well conveyed to the opponent through the barrier.

On the side of the Gods team, [Vishnu] and [Garuda] went out.

The former was one of the four kings of the gods. What level of combat power was he at? Let's review the ranking of the battle power rankings in the S1 period. The top ten at that time were [Tuntian Guixiao], [Crazy] (anonymous), [Shiva], [Drunk and Sad], [Waste Uncle], [Xiaowen Cangtian], [Vishnu], [Brahma], [Wu Si Canxuan], and [No Swordsman].

Of course, that was the ranking nearly a year ago. Now the players' battle power has changed dramatically; many masters who were ranked eleven to twenty at that time, and even those who had not established game characters at that time, may have surpassed several of the above ten players in terms of hard power.

But no matter what, judging from the original ranking, Vishnu is definitely a strong player in the first echelon.

Next, let's talk about [Garuda], who was the main force of the "Gods Team 2" in the S2 period. In S3, he was promoted to the first team.

Like Asura, Garuda is also a young player who just turned 18 this year.

Let me digress here. In fact, in the e-sports circle, some people can be called "veterans" at the age of 18... It depends on the project.

Unlike the "sniper combination" of Order, [Vishnu] and [Garuda] form a "speed combination" that focuses on mobility and is good at medium-range combat.

The outcome of this game is indeed very interesting.

…………

"Well... It seems that the loss in the first game has caused a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent." With more than ten seconds left before the start of the game, Vishnu, who was preparing, couldn't help but lower his voice and muttered this to his teammates beside him.

"Yeah... Their expressions look so scary." Garuda also nodded and continued, "As expected of the main members of Order, this is the first time I have seen such eyes that seem to be willing to risk their lives in the real world..."

In a sense, his idea is correct...

On the other hand, the actions of the "sniper combination" of Sashimi and Barcode are a bit strange; they did not choose to distance themselves like Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling, but stared at their opponents and started to "set up formations" directly on the spot.

However, Sashimi took out an old-fashioned radio and several loudspeaker-like things from his bag and spread them on the ground; while Barcode took out two golden revolvers, holding one in each hand, and aimed at the opponent directly through the barrier, ready to fire.

[Five... Four... Three... Two...]

Soon, the system's last five-second countdown sounded, but the two teams were not good at close combat, and neither team seemed to be planning to retreat...
