Chapter 1846 1846: Wolf's Script

A flash of light swept across the arena, and the player Evil Rampage was teleported onto the stage at the same time as his opponent.

This match was undoubtedly a fierce showdown between strong contenders.

Wolf, as a top player of the Free Fighting Team, had long been famous and held a prominent reputation, garnering quite a few fans in the esports circle. As soon as Wolf appeared, his fans instantly stood up, cheering and shouting for him.

On the other hand, Evil Rampage's stunning performance during the elimination round left a deep impression on everyone.

With a single punch, he repelled the top-level Guardian; with one skill activation, he broke through the top-level Warrior's defenses, and with a final kick, he turned his opponent into white light.

Although his opponent had been worn down a bit beforehand, the fact remained that his opponent was renowned for defense and health as a Guardian.

In just three moves, he had killed a top-level expert on the spot.

In terms of judgment, reaction, and even attack, Evil Rampage's attributes had clearly approached perfection.

Moreover, as a power-based player, his combat style was incredibly visually stunning, even overshadowing his contemporaries, such as Wang Yu, for a time.

After all, while Wang Yu was skilled in execution, most spectators couldn't see it, giving off an impression of being high-minded and solitary, while Evil Rampage's straightforward yet skillful fighting style resonated more with the average player's aesthetic.

Such a formidable expert naturally attracted countless fans in a single match.

He had also become one of the two top experts in the minds of the audience, comparably stronger than the other.

At this moment, seeing Evil Rampage take the stage in the second match, the audience was naturally thrilled.

As the saying goes, "Know thyself, know thy enemy, and you shall never lose a battle." Professional competitions are not only about skills and execution; mastering information about one's opponent is also a crucial part.

Although the Free Fighting Team players held a somewhat disdainful attitude towards the Underdog Team, they had watched the combat videos of the Underdog Team.

Wolf certainly understood how formidable this Pugilist was. Even though Evil Rampage had not had many appearances, his record of taking down a top-level expert with three punches was quite memorable.

Thus, upon realizing he was up against Evil Rampage, Wolf became fully alert, holding nothing back in terms of strength.

As the countdown for the match ended, Wolf gripped his red giant sword and swung it, unleashing a wave of energy that slashed directly towards Evil Rampage, who was not far away.

Evil Rampage, facing the incoming attack, did not dodge or evade but simply waved his right hand.

"Smack!"

Wolf's energy slash was dispelled effortlessly by Evil Rampage.

Of course, no one was surprised that Evil Rampage could achieve such a feat; after all, he had previously knocked back a top-tier Guardian's charge with a single punch, so it was expected that he could disperse this lower-level energy slash.

If Evil Rampage had failed to dispel it, that would have caught everyone off guard.

Wolf was well aware of what everyone else understood; that energy slash was merely a feint.

At the very moment he executed the energy slash, Wolf charged toward Evil Rampage.

No matter how strong an expert is, they will always have flaws when attacking.

While Evil Rampage dispersed the energy, he had left himself vulnerable and wide open.

Before Evil Rampage could retract his arm, Wolf had already closed the distance and stood right before him.

Though Evil Rampage had the ability to knock back with a punch, he currently had no chance to strike back; his only option was to withstand the incoming skill with his body.

Warrior combos are typically simple yet brutal, and as a top-tier expert, Wolf's skill transitions were undoubtedly flawless.

Once he connected with just one of his skills, Wolf was confident he could unleash a flurry of attacks that would leave his opponent with no chance to breathe.

For instance, after his charge, if Evil Rampage was hit, he would be knocked back and staggered. Wolf could then follow with a lunge slash and then a dragon rising slash, launching Evil Rampage into the air.

An airborne opponent essentially loses their combat capabilities, and with Wolf's three ultimate skills—Dragon Breaking Slash, Breaking Army Rising Slash, and Earth Splitting Slash—there was no doubt Evil Rampage would be doomed with his meager health pool.

However, all of the above was merely Wolf's mental simulation of the fight before launching an attack; one could call it a fantasy, or unflattering, an indulgence.

Ideal scenarios are always too abundant, while reality relentlessly slaps one in the face.

As Wolf charged in for the attack, it seemed Evil Rampage was about to be hit, yet suddenly, like Yang Nuo before him, Evil Rampage twisted his body in an incredibly unorthodox manner, deftly evading Wolf's seemingly inevitable charge.

"This..."

Seeing this familiar yet strange scene, everyone displayed expressions of shock.

Was that movement a skill or just positioning?

If it was a skill, it was clear that this maneuver required completely evading the opponent's attack, indicating there was no skill judgment involved.

If it was positioning, then that way of dodging was clearly seen in the previous match; if it wasn't a skill, how could there be such a similar evasive action?

"Hmph!"

Just as everyone was bewildered, Yang Nuo coldly snorted and shot a fierce glare at Wang Yu, saying, "You two brothers are both going to get your legs broken."

"Haha!" Wang Yu awkwardly laughed and said, "Don't mind these details; it's all because that move is too simple. You can learn it just by watching it once. We can't help it."

"I'm going to fight you to the death!!"

Hearing this, Yang Nuo gritted her teeth and charged at Wang Yu, ready to confront him.

Yang Nuo had been practicing the Seven-Step Star Technique since childhood, dedicating twenty years to achieve such mastery, yet Wang Yu had the audacity to say it was something that could be learned at a glance, as if it were a trivial skill.

What nonsense! It was one thing to steal someone else's skills, but to belittle it so shamelessly was outrageous!

...

In a battle between experts, often a single flaw can determine the outcome.

At that moment, when Evil Rampage evaded Wolf's charge, it was clear that the victory had already been decided.

Wolf, being an experienced expert, was certainly startled when his skill was avoided, but he did not panic at all. Instead, he quickly canceled his charge skill, raising his giant sword to execute a whirlwind slash towards the side where Evil Rampage stood.

Top-tier experts are indeed top-tier; even when exposed to a flaw, they can instinctively make perfect recoveries, indicating their skills have become second nature.

If Wolf's opponent had been anyone else, that whirlwind slash would have surely obliterated them.

But unfortunately for Wolf, he had encountered Evil Rampage.

Having dodged Wolf's charge, Evil Rampage was already prepared to counterattack from behind. As Wolf swung his sword from right to left for a whirlwind slash, Evil Rampage stretched out his left hand and executed a Savage Maul, catching Wolf's wrist. With a pull and a push, he forcefully interrupted Wolf's whirlwind slash, while his palm, the size of a fan, gripped the back of Wolf's head.

Immediately after, Evil Rampage used his foot to trip Wolf, and with his right hand still gripping the back of Wolf's head, he forcefully pushed forward.

"Ahhh..."

Wolf screamed as Evil Rampage slammed his face into the ground.
