Chapter 70

(There are no new comments in the comment section, it feels like I'm playing a single-player game... Even if it's a scolding or a complaint, leave a comment? The update time in the afternoon has been changed from 12 PM to 2 PM, sorry.)

The PK between warriors is more intense and exhilarating than that of other professions. There's no need for the caution of mages or the psychological wear and tear of assassins; only intense collisions and close-range skill matches.

The only goal is to fight, fight, fight!

Of course, it's not a brute force brawl, but a highly entertaining PK, which is why the PK between warriors is the most exciting in various competitions.

The battle between Promise of War and Dayu Dianmo was equally thrilling for everyone present. The moment both figures moved, everyone held their breath, watching the confrontation intently.

Yang Ye's gaze was firmly locked on Dayu Dianmo, but he wasn't influenced by any other factors, and Dayu Dianmo also consciously did not use the tricks from the previous match.

The two rapidly approached, their feet stepping on the fallen leaves, making a dull sound.

Closer!

Almost simultaneously, both figures paused and then activated their charge skills—

"Royal Slash Flash!"

"Killing Charge!"

The figures moved swiftly, and when they stopped, everyone was surprised, especially Dayu Dianmo. What was going on with Promise of War?

What was going on? The Royal Slash Flash was cast in the wrong direction! Yes, the target was not Dayu Dianmo but behind Yang Ye, in the same direction as Dayu Dianmo's charge.

The distance that was supposed to be closed was now widened again!

What was Promise of War doing? Dayu Dianmo was puzzled.

Suddenly, he saw Promise of War raise his left hand from a distance—

"Gravity Manipulation!"

Oh no!

Dayu Dianmo thought to himself. He had seen this skill in videos where Promise of War used it to pull opponents. He quickly shifted his body to the side, but the character's movements were just too fast, and he couldn't avoid the gravitational pull.

A powerful force came, and Dayu Dianmo felt his body become light, flying toward Promise of War. If he went over, he would take a full set of attacks!

Dayu Dianmo, being a top 500 player, managed to keep a clear head while being pulled through the air. Promise of War was pulling him over to gain the initiative, but he also had skills. After Promise of War's skills ended, he could counterattack. Now, Promise of War had used two skills, leaving one area-of-effect slash skill. He could take the hit and exchange blood, which would be a good deal.

Thinking this, Dayu Dianmo became much calmer.

Upon landing, as Dayu Dianmo expected, Yang Ye launched a normal attack followed by a break, taking away over 2300 of Dayu Dianmo's HP. This damage shocked Dayu Dianmo; the attack was abnormally high.

After two attacks, Promise of War suddenly paused inexplicably, an opportunity!

Dayu Dianmo's heart raced. How could he let such an opportunity pass? He immediately raised his sword and used the Mad Blade's three consecutive strikes, dealing over 2000 damage to Yang Ye. This defense also shocked Dayu Dianmo; it seemed that Promise of War's equipment was quite good. After the three strikes, Dayu Dianmo didn't retreat but swept his sword across Yang Ye's chest, then sheathed it and thrust it into the ground, revealing another Mad Blade skill—

"Heavenly Spike!"

Heavenly Spike, a range skill of the Mad Blade, involves thrusting the sword into the ground and summoning 12 weapons from underground to emerge and damage enemies in the area.

As the skill was cast, the ground trembled, and 12 glowing swords burst out, shooting toward the sky. Yang Ye, standing next to Dayu Dianmo, naturally took the full hit!

-2721!

It had to be said that the damage from this skill, when used by Dayu Dianmo, was quite substantial. This left Yang Ye with less than 3000 HP, while Dayu Dianmo had a bit more than 3000. However, everyone could see that after using two attacks, Yang Ye's offensive momentum suddenly disappeared, as if he had given up resistance, allowing Dayu Dianmo to attack without hindrance.

What was Promise of War doing?

What was Yang Ye doing? He was watching the miner's helmet!

Previously, Dayu Dianmo's clumsy back-step maneuver had captivated Yang Ye. This technique had to be learned! However, the back-step maneuver involved understanding the game and human psychology, which frustrated Yang Ye. He wasn't particularly good at either.

But when PKing with Dayu Dianmo, Yang Ye became excited.

As he thought, the miner's helmet magically displayed Dayu Dianmo's field of view in real-time, even predicting his next field of view!

This was incredible! If used proficiently, wouldn't this make the back-step maneuver invincible? Yang Ye felt a sense of satisfaction.

Real-time display of the field of view was easy to use; just pay attention. But predicting the next field of view was difficult to utilize! It wasn't really prediction; human actions have a prelude. For example, if you want to look down, your brain gives the command, and then your muscles move. In VRMMORPGs, the game device selectively intercepts this information and sends it to the character in the game, replacing real-world body movements. The game device can also distinguish important information like online and offline status. The miner's helmet's strength lies in intercepting the brain's command before it reaches the character in the game, presenting it more quickly to Yang Ye, allowing him to know the opponent's actions in advance. Of course, this applies to players; how BOSSes know is unknown.

This quick presentation was just a moment, and it was extremely difficult to catch and utilize.

But difficult doesn't mean impossible; with effort and practice, it could be achieved.

Now, let's try playing with Dayu Dianmo.

Yang Ye, regaining his composure, found himself half-dead and immediately took action. He flipped his sword and took two steps behind Dayu Dianmo.

Dayu Dianmo had just enjoyed a smooth attack, thinking he had scared the opponent. He was somewhat pleased, but then the opponent launched another attack and even circled behind him. What was he doing? Trying the back-step maneuver? Ha ha...

Smiling, Dayu Dianmo slightly turned his head to the left and then quickly turned to the right. Ha ha, fooled you, I turned to the right. Let me see your face, ha ha...

Hmm? No one!

Dayu Dianmo, confidently turning his head, suddenly realized that Promise of War was nowhere in his field of view!

-997!

A normal attack hit, and Dayu Dianmo's face darkened—behind him!

He quickly turned to the right again! When someone uses the back-step maneuver, people tend to look left and right, which is a big mistake. The correct way to counter it is to keep turning in a circle, as the speed of turning is much faster than the speed of the back-step maneuver, of course, except for some back-step experts.

But this time, he still didn't see Promise of War! This made Dayu Dianmo nervous—back-step expert?

-1026!

Another normal attack!

Dayu Dianmo frantically tried to find Promise of War behind him, while the audience was shocked.

Dayu Dianmo was being played around by Promise of War using the back-step maneuver!

The audience could clearly see that every time Dayu Dianmo turned his head, Promise of War would step away in advance, and his next position would always be in Dayu Dianmo's blind spot.

This... expert!

For a moment, everyone in the Dayu Studio was silent. They knew Dayu Dianmo's strength; although he wasn't ranked globally, he was still strong in China. Previously, he couldn't use the back-step maneuver against Peach, which was understandable, as an opponent with infinite teleportation couldn't be circled. But the current situation was that Promise of War had completely confused Dayu Dianmo with the back-step maneuver... the skill gap was significant.

Is Promise of War one of the top 100 players in the Chinese server of TTOS?

This thought also stirred in Dayu Dianmo's mind—

"Indeed, indeed, this technique, this back-step skill, I admit defeat! Absolutely an expert, ha ha..."

Thinking this, Dayu Dianmo felt relieved. He was an optimistic person, and sparring with an expert was natural. If they weren't enemies, he would have stopped to exchange techniques with Promise of War. Such back-step skills must be learned!

The PK continued. Dayu Dianmo, with experience, finally turned around and found Yang Ye after about 3 to 4 seconds, but he was left with less than 300 HP. In fact, he had been reduced to 300 HP two seconds earlier. Yang Ye didn't kill him to practice his back-step maneuver and get familiar with the miner's helmet. Dayu Dianmo had the same goal, so he didn't admit defeat, but the result was clear—

Promise of War won!

...

"Promise of War, you are very strong. We lost, and it was our fault. Our Dayu Studio apologizes to you!" Dayu Dianmo said firmly. The attitude toward an expert was different from that toward an ordinary person. If Yang Ye hadn't convinced Dayu Dianmo, he probably wouldn't have apologized. To be honest, he was shocked, otherwise, he wouldn't have been played by a beginner for so long.

Yang Ye smiled, having gained a lot from this battle. The back-step maneuver technique left him captivated, and he really wanted to practice more with Dayu Dianmo... "It's nothing, it's not a big deal, right?" Of course, it wasn't a big deal. Yang Ye's team had only lost three 10-level rookies, while the Dayu Studio had lost over twenty 20-level players.

"Right, right, I hope to spar with you again in the future. Your back-step skill is amazing!" Dayu Dianmo praised. If he knew that Yang Ye had just learned it a few minutes ago, would he be shocked?

"Sure, let's talk about it later."

Dayu Dianmo led the Dayu Studio team away, but before leaving, the look in Dayu Xiaotian's eyes was unforgettable to Yang Ye, not only unforgettable but also deeply remembered!

Turning to look at Peach and the others, their faces were filled with excitement, and they looked at Yang Ye with fiery eyes.

Ah, he's an expert now, ha ha.

Yang Ye smiled, about to speak, but then received a new message from Mo Li. What were these guys up to?
