Chapter 1808 1808: Spring Halo's Mental Assault

"Awesome!"

Seeing this scene, Jing Lei couldn't help but exclaim, and the audience in the arena all widened their eyes in surprise.

As a Warrior with relatively short attack range, the primary output method for dual-wielding weapon Warriors is combo attacks. The high hit detection of Warrior skills, combined with the high skill level akin to that of an assassin, makes this profession's combos extremely visually appealing, while also demanding a high level of operation.

The circular sword slash has a larger motion range compared to the original stabbing flash, and the stiffness time after its release is also longer, making the connection to the dragon rising slash noticeably more challenging. However, June Snow was able to cancel the skill immediately after completing the circular sword slash and then connect it with the dragon rising slash to negate the stiffness from the previous skill. Her reaction speed was simply astonishing.

Even among professional players, there was a tendency to show off, as the players from Bangguo pursued ultimate operational skills.

As the saying goes, "All martial arts come from the corner of the wall; since ancient times, rogues have used the dragon rising slash."

The effect of the dragon rising slash is to launch the opponent into the air, and for high-skill combo classes, once the opponent is airborne, they can give up resistance.

...

Just as the match was about to end at the start, everyone couldn't help but mourn for Spring Halo.

At his age, to participate in a competition only to be sent back home in the first round was indeed somewhat pitiful.

However, just when the sword light was about to strike Spring Halo, suddenly a green light appeared in front of him.

At the same time, a blue-faced, fanged evil spirit appeared between Spring Halo and June Snow.

"What the hell... what is this?"

Seeing the evil spirit before Spring Halo, the audience and the two commentators were equally startled.

Only the members of the Wuhuo Zhuang team maintained their calm expressions.

It was just summoning an evil spirit, something they had seen many times before; there was no need for such astonishment.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound echoed as June Snow's sword light struck the evil spirit in front of Spring Halo.

"Duang!"

Almost simultaneously, another muffled sound was heard as June Snow jabbed her sword under the evil spirit's chin.

The evil spirit swayed slightly, pushed back a bit by June Snow's strike.

"???!"

Seeing that her skill had hit the wrong target, June Snow was startled. Her figure shifted as she tried to bypass the evil spirit and attack Spring Halo again.

But how could Spring Halo just stand there and let himself be attacked?

"Boom!"

Just as June Snow took a half-step back, the dark barrier rose from below, and June Snow was instantly immobilized in place.

A desperate counterattack!

Seeing June Snow, who had thought she was guaranteed to win, being counter-controlled and immobilized by Spring Halo, the professional players in the arena immediately displayed expressions of astonishment.

What the layman sees as an exciting spectacle, the expert sees as the essence of the matter.

To ordinary people, June Snow was simply caught off guard and immobilized by Spring Halo's dark barrier. However, to top experts, it was not that simple.

Having made it into the highest S-level tournament, Spring Halo surely understood the differences in skill release between Shamans and Warriors.

Yet, Spring Halo still waited until June Snow began her charge before releasing the dark barrier.

Was this foolish?

No! This was skill!

This demonstrated that Spring Halo had calculated the skill timings between the two perfectly.

When June Snow approached Spring Halo, the evil spirit was released with deadly accuracy. By the time June Snow reacted and attempted to evade the evil spirit, she had already run out of options to retreat or dodge.

Perfect skill connection!

If June Snow's skill connections relied on her own reflexes and operations, then Spring Halo's precise skill connections were based on prediction and calculation. It was clear which was superior.

Such precise prediction and calculation abilities left all the top experts in attendance in awe.

Of course, for our Brother Spring, this was just routine.

"Hehe!"

With June Snow immobilized, Spring Halo took a step back with a sly smile and waved his staff, enveloping June Snow's head in a cloud of green mist.

"Swish!"

The immobilized June Snow was immediately dyed green and acquired a negative status.

Miasma: Lose 50 health per second, lasts for 60 seconds; healing skills are ineffective during this time.

This was the most annoying aspect of a Shaman—poison!

Although they couldn't instantly eliminate you in one go, they could torment you to death.

June Snow naturally knew how troublesome Shamans could be. Without a word, she strained her arms, and a red light burst forth from her body. As the red light flashed, she broke free from the dark barrier's restraints, and the miasma status was shaken off into a flurry of green light.

Invigoration!

The Warrior class's debuff removal skill could eliminate all control effects and negative statuses.

After just one round of confrontation, June Snow realized that this Shaman before her was not as easy to deal with as she appeared and dared not linger. She immediately accelerated and charged toward the retreating Spring Halo again.

June Snow was much faster than the short-legged Spring Halo. In the blink of an eye, she rushed back to Spring Halo, raising both hands as her two swords crossed and stabbed toward him.

But just as June Snow's weapons were about to strike Spring Halo, suddenly, she felt a sinking sensation under her feet and found herself unable to move.

"??"

June Snow instinctively looked down and saw a patch of thorns had emerged from beneath them, tightly binding her feet.

"Young man, why are you getting so close to me?"

Spring Halo's face revealed his signature sly smile again.

"Hey, retreat!"

Then, a mouthful of thick, greenish-yellow phlegm splattered onto June Snow's face...

To say that Spring Halo was disgusting would be an understatement. June Snow was at least a young and fresh character, but this old man deliberately spat thick phlegm on June Snow's face—wasn't this just meant to gross him out?

"Ugh..."

June Snow nearly vomited on the spot. The audience, separated by a dimension, could feel the disgust, and Jing Lei and Feng Shuang both unconsciously swallowed.

"I protest!"

Seeing Spring Halo's disgusting antics, the captain of Arirang, March Wind, could no longer restrain himself and raised his hand to protest: "That Shaman's behavior is too unsightly; I suggest disqualifying him from the competition."

"Protest invalid?"

As soon as March Wind said this, the system responded indifferently: "The player's skill release has no errors; the match continues."

"Skill release?"

March Wind looked puzzled at the stage and, sure enough, another status appeared on June Snow's head.

Plague: Movement speed decreased by 50%, physical defense and magic defense decreased by 50%, lasts for 60 seconds; during this time, acceleration skills and defensive aura skills are ineffective.

Indeed, Spring Halo had clearly released a skill; how could it be deemed unsightly... everyone had to be reasonable, right?

"Poof!!"

Seeing that June Snow had indeed been hit by the skill, March Wind spat out a mouthful of blood. What the hell, did Shamans have such disgusting skill casting behaviors?

On the other side of the venue, the members of the Quan Zhen team were also discussing fervently.

"Damn, Brother Spring is too disgusting, setting up his casting like this."

"He's been disgusting for more than a day or two; this is clearly a mental attack aimed at June Snow."

"Truly filthy..."
