Luck!

Those who understood the true reason for Steamed Buns actions would all think this way. After all, this wasnt a prediction that had come from Glory experience or awareness, it was just a childish instinct. Steamed Bun probably didnt understand the true danger of the attack that Wu Qi had Cruel Silence execute.

But this kind of childish instinct, was it a type of intuition? It was hard to say. In any case, what happened now was that Cruel Silence was stopped short by Steamed Buns Paralysis Needle, and after that, well, Tang Rou had never stopped Soft Mists attacks. When Cruel Silence suddenly appeared right in front of her, his dagger just about to hit her, Tang Rou had been extremely startled. In this kind of crucial moment, she had acted without thinking. Her attacks immediately focused on Cruel Silence.

Without Steamed Buns interference, Tang Rous instinctive reaction really might not have come fast enough. But now, with Steamed Bun disrupting things, Tang Rous immediate change of target became a huge burst!

If she hadnt burst forth with an attack, then she would have been hit. In this kind of dangerous moment, did Tang Rous ferocity even need to be mentioned?

Ye Xius Lord Grim had come over to help. But he didnt go to attack Cruel Silence; instead, he headed toward Sun Xiangs One Autumn Leaf, blocking Sun Xiangs close-range support.

Zhou Zekais Cloud Piercer and Su Muchengs Dancing Rain were in a similar situation. Because these two characters were standing at a long-range, no one was coming to disrupt them. Zhou Zekai readjusted his aim to try and force back Happys surging counterattack.

At this moment, Jiang Botao was truly a bit speechless.

He still remembered that not long ago, he had been the focus of Happys fire. How come, in the blink of an eye, his Empty Waves was left hanging out to dry? Happys four characters, he couldnt see the face of a single one. What were they doing? Was there still a clear strategic goal? Was there still a firm plan?

It was a mess, completely a mess.

Right now, this was just a mess of a battle. Happy didnt have a clear goal or intent, they were just chaotically fighting. Samsara could only deal with the attacks as they came. With Happys strange rhythm, Samsara had actually been forced on the defensive.

This cant continue!

Left to the side, Jiang Botao had a clear view of the battle. Happy didnt seem to have any organization, nor any strategy, but they definitely still had a goal. This kind of large chaotic battle was a frequent sight in Glorys in-game Arena. It was a path for the unskilled. Happys skill was of course much higher than that of in-game players, but they couldnt change how low-end this kind of chaotic fight was.

But this was exactly Happys goal. They wanted to drag Samsara down into this low-level rhythm and atmosphere, and then use their thorough low-level experience to defeat Samsara. Right now, they could already see the effects. Samsara was being forced on the defensive, because this didnt follow the match logic that they were used to. The pro players on the field right now were used to taking a step and looking three steps ahead. But now, they couldnt see three steps ahead, Happy took one step and they followed one step, and then, that was all

They had to control the rhythm. They couldnt be dragged along by Happy.

Jiang Botao was very conscious of this, and the other three from Samsara had noticed this as well. But Happy was pressing hard on Sun Xiangs One Autumn Leaf and Wu Qis Cruel Silence, so for now the two of them could only follow Happys rhythm. On the other hand, Zhou Zekais Cloud Piercer was far away, and no one was interfering with his adjustments.

No longer protecting those two people. No longer trying to disrupt Happys offensive. Cloud Piercers attack suddenly had a clear direction.

Lord Grim!

Ye Xius Lord Grim.

Well done.

Jiang Botao praised him internally. Zhou Zekais judgment was as fast and accurate as ever. Focusing Lord Grim was the best way of breaking the current situation. There was in fact some order hidden in the chaos of Happys fighting, and Ye Xiu was the only one taking responsibility for it. It was his Lord Grim that used the fast rhythm of switching between low-level skills in order to connect everyone else.

Attack Lord Grim, and Happys chaotic fighting would truly be reduced to nothing but a low-level struggle, and Sun Xiang and Wu Qi would be able to find a breakthrough point.

One after the other, Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao began a pincer attack. The two didnt communicate in their team channel, but the coordination of their offense demonstrated a tacit understanding beyond compare. Even though Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang were the Best Partners of this season, but Jiang Botao, who had tied together Zhou Zekai and the rest of Samsara when he joined the team, was unquestionably the player that understood Zhou Zekai the best. It was only because he wasnt as flashy onstage as Zhou Zekai or Sun Xiang was; his coordination, his understanding, it was always demonstrated quietly.

Right now, for example, Zhou Zekais Cloud Piercer began firing powerful shots toward Lord Grim. In comparison, Jiang Botao seemed less hurried, Empty Waves movements seemed to be slower by half a beat, but this half-beat difference perfectly cut off Lord Grims path of retreat.

The one who would shine beautifully on the battlefield would be Zhou Zekais Cloud Piercer. And amidst this beauty, Jiang Botao would be doing the tiring, dirty work. He quietly supported Zhou Zekai. This was what he had always done after arriving at Samsara.

Dodge!

Under Cloud Piercers offensive, Ye Xiu had no choice but to control Lord Grim to dodge.

But to the right was Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion. If he dodged in that direction, the fire would interrupt the rhythm of those two. If he dodged back, Empty Waves Wave Slash had already caught up, he had no way of stepping back and adjusting. Right now, it seemed he had only one choice, going left

Going left, he would leave the three-person offensive unit hed established; going left, he would be acting within Samsaras predictions, and there would definitely be a more difficult offensive waiting for him.

But aside from this, did he have any other choice?

Go forward?

Today, Happy had already demonstrated their courage numerous times. Under this kind of pressure, they frequently surged forward to fight fire with fire, even using their healer as an additional source of raw power. When they remembered Lord Grim swiftly charging forward, dodging the bullets that flew his way, with his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shifting hundreds and thousands of times in his hands, countless people were already jumping with excitement. But this time, Ye Xiu let them down.

Lord Grim didnt charge forward to Cloud Piercer, but nor did he move to the left as Samsara was hoping.

He stepped back!

Jiang Botao was stunned.

Ye Xiu hadnt chosen to meet Cloud Piercer and his gunfire head on. Hed instead chosen to retreat backward, he was running toward the area under Empty Waves control.

A huge surprise!

Everyone had been mentally prepared for him to charge through Cloud Piercers fire, but retreating backward, breaking through Empty Waves end, no one had expected this.

Because Jiang Botaos movement was slow by half a beat.

This seemed as though his reaction was delayed compared to Zhou Zekai, but this was his strength. Acting just a hair slower meant that his movement was more effective. He waited to see Zhou Zekais offensive before confirming how he would coordinate with him. With no attitude of fighting for the spotlight, his actions seemed simpler, yet they were more useful.

It could be said like this.

Although Cloud Piercers fire was sharp, Empty Waves coordination was more dangerous.

But there was a prerequisite, this danger depended on Cloud Piercers powerful offensive. Without the pressure of this offensive, this so-called danger no longer existed.

Jiang Botaos style was completely different from Wu Qis. He wasnt trying hide the deadly amidst the beauty. He simply used a more pragmatic style to support the beautiful offense of his teammates, especially that of Zhou Zekai.

And his kind of pragmatism was more solid and reliable, so much so that although people would think of charging Zhou Zekais spearhead, no one thought of charging Jiang Botaos iron plate. But Ye Xiu did exactly that.

Whats this guy trying to do?

The pro players all let out exclamations of surprise. Everyone understood Jiang Botaos style and his way of cooperating with Zhou Zekai. They all knew that under these circumstances, Jiang Botaos area would pose a greater threat.

But after everyone expressed their surprise, they all couldnt help but exchange glances.

Reverse thinking? Yu Wenzhou said.

Thats bold, Huang Shaotian said. As Glorys most famous opportunist, he could understand Ye Xius thought of this isnt an opportunity, but Ill make it one. But this didnt necessarily mean that this was a beautiful choice, only that it was an extremely bold one.

No one would think that this was an opportunity, no one would make this kind of choice. As time went on, even Jiang Botao himself had gotten used to this kind of situation. He hadnt slacked off because of this, but when Ye Xius Lord Grim charged at him, he discovered that he was extremely unfamiliar with dealing with this kind of situation. He discovered that, in reality, he didnt have much experience in facing this kind of powerful charge. Most of the time, the opponent would be scared into retreating, and those that charged forward didnt do so with courage and belief, they had simply had a lapse of judgment and made the mistake of crashing against the iron plate.

Ye Xiu hadnt made a mistake, Ye Xiu had acted on purpose. What he demonstrated was still that one word: fast.

Turning around while retreating, beginning a skill while turning, moving at a high speed while beginning the skill.

Jiang Botao saw all of this, but he couldnt keep up with this kind of rhythm. His awareness, his control, it all seemed to have entered cooldown. His controls hadnt stopped, but he himself knew, slow, too slow, compared to Ye Xius fast, he was far too slow.

In the blink of an eye, Lord Grim had arrived before him. That Wave Wheel Slasher that had been viewed as an iron plate was now fluttering like a tissue in the wind. Cloud Piercers bullets were still chasing Lord Grim, but at this moment, in a trance, Jiang Botao almost felt like those bullets were coming at him, that they were covering Lord Grims offensive.

Colliding Stab!

Lord Grim crashed into Empty Waves. Right after, Tang Rou, Steamed Bun, those two characters also switched their target immediately, suddenly rushing in this direction as well. Su Muchengs heavy firepower on the other end of the map had already begun blasting toward Empty Waves.

Switch switching targets again?

Happys rhythm had truly made Jiang Botao dizzy. There was no organization sometimes, yet in just a moment, this kind focused fire could burst forth. This rapid switching meant that Samsara was always chasing Happys rhythm. Theyd firmly lost the initiative!
