Chapter 1851 1851: Ace vs. Ace

As everyone knows, the most terrifying aspect of Fearless is not his impeccable strategies, but rather his unparalleled ability to understand and manipulate people's hearts.

Faced with an opponent whose overall strength is several tiers above his own, Fearless naturally aims to win psychologically.

From the start, Wade's challenge against the amateur team, Crowd of Misfits, was a decision that baffled the rest of the Free Team.

If he had truly picked an easy target, the others might have just looked down on their captain Wade, but Fearless saw this as an opportunity and immediately launched a surprise attack with four Aces and four Twos, completely stunning the members of the Free Team.

In such a state, the members of the Free Team naturally began to shift blame onto one another, and by the time the dust settled, the responsibility ultimately fell on Wade, their captain.

The escalation of internal conflicts within the Free Team was not a coincidence, but an inevitable outcome.

It must be said that Wade was quite unfortunate; before the match, he had been pressured by the Pantheon and thought he had found a reason to bully an amateur team. Little did he know that less than a third of the way into the match, his own team was on the verge of falling apart.

At this moment, Fearless was calmly arranging the players for the next round.

"After three consecutive losses, the opposing team is now divided in spirit. Wade will definitely try to rally his teammates but will likely end up fighting himself. In the fourth round, let Old Bull go and directly crush their captain, causing them to fall apart."

"Understood!"

Wang Yu replied and transformed into a streak of white light, teleporting to the arena alongside Wade.

"Wow!"

The audience erupted in excitement upon seeing Wang Yu and Wade take the stage, unable to contain their cheers.

To be honest, watching Crowd of Misfits's matches usually requires the audience to be prepared for boredom, as half of this group of ten is not even there to compete, merely filling in numbers.

Thus, there is a 50% chance that matches involving Crowd of Misfits can be excruciatingly dull.

However, as one of the few true experts from Crowd of Misfits, Wang Yu's match would undoubtedly not fall into such a tedious category.

As for Wade, Wang Yu's opponent, being the captain of a top-tier team like the Free Team, he was naturally a first-rate expert as well.

This man, like the Invisible Man from the first round, was also an assassin known by the nickname "Spiderman", regarded alongside the Invisible Man as the two benchmarks in the assassin world, and is a key player for the Free Team.

Now, facing Wang Yu, the captain and ace of Crowd of Misfits, it could be aptly termed an ace vs. ace showdown.

Having just endured a long and tedious confrontation, it was the perfect time to refresh the audience's eyes.

...

Unlike Wang Yu, who is solely focused on fighting as a laid-back captain, Wade, as the leader of the Free Team, naturally carries a much heavier burden.

Now that the first match had already completed three rounds, Crowd of Misfits was far ahead, and the Free Team was not only demoralized but also on the brink of emotional collapse.

It is important to note that Wade's opponent was an amateur team; the outcome of the first match had a direct impact on him, as the greatest responsibility lay in the captain's poor command.

If he couldn't defeat Wang Yu in this round, not only would the team's morale completely shatter, but Wade, as captain, would likely lose all respect, and whether he could continue to be captain after the match would be another matter entirely. Therefore, Wade absolutely had to win this round.

Assassins typically rely on stealth, and Wade was no exception. As the countdown for the match ended, he immediately activated his stealth ability, vanishing from the arena.

Next, while in stealth, Wade activated his speed boost and rushed toward Wang Yu at an incredible pace, quickly positioning himself behind him.

"Ah... so fast! Is it really going to end this way?"

Although Wade's figure was absent from the arena, the audience could see his shadow from their perspective.

Seeing Wade swiftly reach Wang Yu's back, everyone couldn't help but feel anxious for Wang Yu.

Assassins rank second among all professions in damage output, only behind mages, and their explosive damage can instantly kill any non-tank class of the same level. As a top-tier expert, Wade's damage output was undoubtedly a concern.

Monks are not known for their resilience; now that Wade was behind Wang Yu, with the high damage from his backstab combined with the bonus from attacking from behind, a single backstab could likely leave Wang Yu severely injured, not to mention a full combo of skills.

"Oh dear... this Wade is truly asking for trouble."

However, while the audience was worried for Wang Yu, his teammates remained unfazed, and the members of the Kyushu team couldn't help but sigh for Wade.

"??"

Upon hearing the comments from the Kyushu team, a question mark appeared above the head of Rebel, the captain of the Rebellion Team, standing nearby.

Before Rebel could even ask what was meant by those words, Wade on the arena had already launched his backstab at Wang Yu.

Just then, Wang Yu twisted his body in an extremely strange posture, evading the attack.

Wade's backstab struck nothing but air.

"????"

Seeing this unfold, everyone in the arena widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Again... is it this move again?"

Wang Yu's dodging technique had become somewhat familiar to the audience; within less than an hour from the first round to now, it had already appeared three times, each time impeccably avoiding an attack from behind.

Could this be a standard evasion skill for Crowd of Misfits?

At this moment, not only were the spectators astonished, but the professional players were equally baffled.

Of course, the experts were not surprised by Wang Yu's evasion technique itself but rather by how he was able to perform such a maneuver at that moment.

It should be noted that both in the first and second rounds, the opponents had attacked from behind in plain sight, allowing the evaders to prepare. However, Wade had entered stealth mode from the beginning of the game, and the moment he launched the backstab was when he emerged from stealth.

Yet, it appeared as though Wang Yu had known in advance that his opponent would appear behind him, enabling him to dodge at just the right moment, which was indeed hard to believe.

Could it be that he sensed Wade's backstab the instant it was executed? That would be even more unbelievable than the previous prediction he made.

"No... it's impossible!"

Wade, who thought he had a sure hit, felt his eyes nearly pop out in disbelief. He had been invisible the entire time; how could he have been dodged? Did his opponent possess a skill that could detect stealth?

"Ha ha!"

Just as Wade was shocked, he suddenly heard a soft chuckle, and a palm struck toward him from behind.

As the ace expert, Wade was still quite formidable.

If it were an ordinary person, hearing Wang Yu's laughter behind them would instinctively make them turn around, but Wade rolled forward without a second thought to avoid Wang Yu's attack.

In that moment of rolling, Wade's head was down, and he thrust his hands toward Wang Yu as two silver threads shot out at him.
