Chapter 48: Looking Back at the One Step Away
Bird's Nest, the final of the eighth season of the Honor Professional League, the second day, the team competition.

"It's coming." In the commentary booth, the old captain Wei Chen gently covered his chest and let out a long sigh.

Not only him, most of the spectators were doing similar actions at this time.

The reason is simple. Every minute and every second of the ongoing final is challenging everyone's acceptance limit.

How cruel is this game? In fact, you can see it from a small detail.

Huang Shaotian, up to now, hasn't had time to say a single word of trash.

In the midst of high-intensity continuous operations that push the limits, it seems a bit too luxurious to want to type.

All members have 5,000 skill points, which is a huge advantage that has never been seen since the emergence of the alliance.

Lan Yu was unwilling to accept being slain by the so-called "big devil".

After two days of bloody battle, the only thing Blue Rain can rely on is the blood in their hearts.

That raging rage that my fate is in my own hands.

Such anger turned Blue Rain, a team that was known for its tactics and opportunities, into a pack of red-eyed wolves for the first time.

They want to crush reincarnation in the most primitive way!

However, it is precisely this kind of playing style that has outstanding effects!
Compared to Samsara, whose star player is a ranged profession, Blue Rain, which has two sword-type all-stars, has a certain advantage over Samsara in close combat.

Moreover, because Samsara subconsciously believed that Blue Rain must have a backup plan, he was cautious during the battle, and was instead evenly matched by the desperate Blue Rain.

But the gap is still a gap after all.

Even though Blue Rain used the right tactics, and even though they defeated the old master with random punches, Blue Rain still failed to gain much advantage in the end due to the huge advantage of the account.

When this bloody team battle ended, only one person was left from Blue Rain and Samsara.

Yu Wenzhou from Blue Rain, and Jiang Botao from Samsara.

Zhou Zekai was the second to last to fall, and it was Huang Shaotian who killed him.

In the last team fight, he subconsciously guarded against every possible cover on the map.

In his opinion, the opportunist Huang Shaotian would definitely emerge unexpectedly from these places.

However, he underestimated Huang Shaotian's determination.

In order to win, what does it matter if you change your playing style or your style?
Huang Shaotian rushed towards Samsara in the most open and aboveboard way. Relying on the cover of seven Sword Shadow Steps, he caught Samsara off guard and manfully eliminated Zhou Zekai's Shot Through the Clouds!
And now, Jiang Botao is in the light and Yu Wenzhou is in the dark, and the balance of victory seems to have tilted towards Blue Rain!
Sure enough, before Jiang Botao, who killed Huang Shaotian, had time to catch his breath, he discovered that evil black energy had begun to gather at the farthest point of the map.

"Yu Wenzhou has taken action! It's Death's Door!" Wei Chen shouted.

"Long hands beat short hands, Jiang Botao doesn't stand a chance!" He was so excited that his eyes were red, and there was a hint of crying in his voice.

Although Jiang Botao's magic sword can be considered long-range, he is from the swordsman department after all, so his attack range is limited.

The lightning wave array with the largest range has an attack distance of only fifteen units.

As for the Warlock's Death Door, even without taking into account the casting distance, the attack range alone is eighteen!

This slight difference in range is like an insurmountable chasm.

Jiang Botao's scalp tingled, and Wu Lang didn't care about anything else and rushed towards Yu Wenzhou desperately.

He did not try to escape. Once the Death Gate was released, Yu Wenzhou could use it as a cover to calmly complete the skill chanting, and then he would be finished just the same!
In the Blue Rain fighting room, Yu Wenzhou's eyes were now bloodshot, with a sneer on his haggard face.

"It's too late."

Although Blue Rain seemed to have no tactics, they actually had some arrangements.

While tearing at the cycle of reincarnation, they intentionally or unintentionally led the battle to the edge of the map.

The purpose is to create enough space for Yu Wenzhou to cast spells!
"Back jump, flying leap, it's useless! It's too late!" Wei Chen roared.

"Jiang Botao can't interfere with Yu Wenzhou before the chanting of Death's Gate is completed!"

"Reincarnation, this lion that has ruled the grassland for more than half a season is finally going to fall to the hungry wolves of Blue Rain!"

The Bird's Nest was completely boiling at this time.

Blue Rain's fans roared and cheered, waiting for the hard-earned victory that was finally about to come.

On the battlefield, Jiang Botao was still charging forward.

He had used up all of the magic swordsman's pitiful displacement skills, but the distance that could affect Yu Wenzhou was still quite far away.

The magic swordsman Wu Lang swung his sword and rushed forward, using his final displacement skill, a three-stage slash!
"It's useless!" Yu Wenzhou's eyes were burning.

This basic skill is common to swordsmen and can be used for both displacement and output, so it is of course within his calculation range!

Even if it might ruin Pei Yunteng's plan, even if the reincarnation that got the skill points was really terribly powerful;
Don’t even think about stopping Blue Rain from winning the championship!

"Sorry, Mr. Pei, you've miscalculated this time." Yu Wenzhou, who felt that he had already won, even made a joke in his heart.

However, will the facts really be as he expected?
Jiang Botao launched his three-section slash, and accompanied by a huge sword light, Wu Lang advanced forward section by section.

One paragraph, two paragraphs, three paragraphs... Four paragraphs! Five paragraphs!

Yu Wenzhou's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Jiang Botao's magic swordsman did not perform a three-stage slash, but a five-stage slash!
The Three-Section Slash skill naturally has room for growth.

If you are willing to spend skill points to enhance the first-level three-stage slash, even if you are using a dagger, you can evolve the three-stage slash into a five-stage slash.

But, for a ranged profession like the Spell Swordsman, why waste this money when you have nothing better to do?
But Jiang Botao did it anyway.

With an extra hundred skill points, he wanted to improve his displacement level, so he added a level one skill point to it.

But it was this one thought that allowed Jiang Botao to forcibly tear a gap out of the desperate situation. Wu Lang... rushed into the fifteenth unit!
The lightning wave array erupted, Soksar was hit, and the Gate of Death was interrupted.

Yu Wenzhou's winning move was cracked.

As for the warlock who was exposed to the attack range of the magic swordsman, especially the warlock who was only left with blood, the result can be imagined.

ended.

The huge Bird's Nest seemed to have pressed the mute button. The roaring fans, the cheering crowds, and the excited commentary all fell into deathly silence at that moment.

Blue Rain... lost.

The moment Soksar fell to the ground, Jiang Botao jumped up regardless of everything and hugged his teammates with a roar.

They won the final victory!

On the other hand, it was far less exciting.

Yu Wenzhou stared at the screen in front of him that turned black and white, his lips slightly parted, but he couldn't utter a word.

Did I...really fail because of that damn skill point?
He thought about winning and he thought about losing.

But I didn't expect that I would lose, and really, just because of that damn skill point!

Is this a game where you pay to win?

At this moment, his mind was blank.

Inside the Bird's Nest, thunderous cheers finally rang out again.

This time, it’s from the fans of Samsara.

Having experienced a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, they were so excited that they had forgotten everything else.

They cheered and hugged wildly, and laughed at the Blue Rain fans who had fallen from heaven to hell.

"Although the hero has surpassed his limit, the Demon King is still the Demon King who rules the world!"

"Reincarnation, this unbeatable king's division has protected their pride!"

"They are about to become the champions of Season 8!"

The commentator reacted without thinking too much and immediately announced Samsara's victory passionately.

Yu Wenzhou slumped in the gaming chair, his eyes blank.

Until a hand appeared in front of him.

It’s Huang Shaotian’s.

This optimist's eyes were red and the muscles on his face were twitching. He finally forced out a comforting smile.

"Time to go, Captain."

Yes, it's time to go.

Even if Samsara actually won unfairly, even if they had already broken through their limits;

But at least now, losing is losing.

Yu Wenzhou stood up with the help of Huang Shaotian.

Suddenly, a wetness ran across his cheek; it was tears.

This man who could remain absolutely calm no matter what adversity he faced, for the first time, shed tears of unwillingness on the field.

The Blue Rain team walked out of the battle zone, and the director quickly gave them a series of close-up shots.

When the bewildered Blue Rain fans saw their captain with tears in his eyes, they felt their hearts break.

"Yu Wenzhou!" "Huang Shaotian!"...

Even though they were clearly losers, they still subconsciously cheered for them.

On the way out, perhaps because he heard the fans' shouts or was venting his inner unwillingness, Yu Wenzhou wiped away his tears and looked back.

Coincidentally, the live broadcast camera was circling around him and shooting a long shot.
This heartbreaking scene was recorded forever and became a scar that all Blue Rain people could never let go of.

The eighth season of Blue Rain has come to an end.

Tenghai headquarters.

Pei Yunteng was watching the live broadcast of what was said to be the largest e-sports event in history. When he saw Yu Wenzhou's look back that was very similar to Faker's, he sighed softly.

This was clearly the most favorable situation for him, but he just couldn't be happy.

He could feel the grief and anger of Yu Wenzhou and Lan Yu.

With his eyes lowered, he thought for a long time, then Pei Yunteng finally stood up, his eyes regaining their sharpness and calmness.

"Perhaps this summer is not destined to belong to Blue Rain,"

“But I believe that in the new future, we will have many summers belonging to Blue Rain.”
