Chapter 334: Zhou Yi
"Hmm? This positioning?"
In the audience stands, Cheng Yongchun narrowed his eyes.
He seemed to have guessed something, turned his head to look at Wu Mang in the adjacent seat, and said with a smile:
"Principal Wu, it seems your team's Zhou Yi is quite the multi-functional player, handling both support and offense at the same time."
Although on the surface it sounded like praise, from his tone one could detect the faint hint of mockery Cheng Yongchun was expressing.
Of course, this was intentional on his part.
A professional's skill points and attribute points are limited; trying to cover many sides is inferior to specializing in one.
This is even more true for the strong.
Zhou Yi has to learn support-type buff skills while also serving as offense.
His skill learning and four-dimensional attribute allocation are bound to be scattered!
Even so, so what if he's the offense position?
He still can't add much combat power to the team!
As for the strength Zhou Yi displayed when defeating Li Xin in yesterday's individual match, in his eyes it was nothing special either.
Three of the four offense positions on their team could just as easily defeat Li Xin!
Wu Mang, who caught the mockery in the other's tone, didn't get angry either; he just smiled and said nothing.
He was very calm right now.
Everything would be settled by strength. When Zhou Yi went on a rampage later, this old fellow would have his moment of regret.
"Nine-eight-seven." Wu Mang's utterly calm reaction left Cheng Yongchun slightly surprised.
The two of them could be considered old rivals of more than ten years.
How could he not know Wu Mang's temper?
Fiery and stubborn!
In the past, if his own student had been mocked, he would have long since fired back!
"Strange..."
Although puzzled, the match was about to begin.
He didn't think too much about it and turned his gaze back to the arena.
"When the match starts, just like in our previous training — I'll take the lead and attack, you all follow behind and act as the situation calls for."
Just before the match began, Zhou Yi said to Jiang Churan and the others behind him on the arena.
"Understood."
Everyone smiled.
Zhou Yi's strength was simply too great, far exceeding the rest of the team by a huge margin!
Therefore, in Formation No. 2 designated by Wu Mang, when Zhou Yi served as the offense position,
the entire team would act with Zhou Yi as their core.
"When Brother Yi goes all out, even if the opponents are from Qingjing University, we'll definitely take them down easy!" Liu Yang said with a strange laugh.
This wasn't an exaggeration on his part.
It was the powerful confidence built up in Zhou Yi over the previous two months of training!!
"Still, we should be careful — after all, they're players from Qingjing University."
"If anyone gets hurt later, remember to stick close to me so I can cast Healing Technique on you."
Zhou Yi gave one final reminder, and the countdown on the arena began.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Let's go!"
The instant the countdown ended, Zhou Yi, gripping his battle axe, charged out first.
His instantaneous speed reached a terrifying 32 m/s, whereas the fastest in the entire Suhang University representative team, Jiang Churan, had an instantaneous speed of only 26 m/s.
Not to mention she also had to follow behind the tank position Cai Hua, making her speed even slower.
Therefore, as soon as the match began, Zhou Yi pulled ahead of the team by nearly 10 meters! Running at the very front!!
Of course, during his charge he didn't stop releasing enhancement skills.
"God's Blessing!"
"Weapon Blessing!"
"Guardian Blessing!"
"Blessing of Courage!"
"......"
Under the boost of the A-rank skill Quick Cast, Zhou Yi completed the release of all his buff enhancement skills in just one second.
Under the amplification of numerous skill buffs, two mysterious runes formed by Blessing of Courage could be seen rotating in the air above his head, constantly boosting his Strength and Constitution attributes.
The originally dark-black Blood-Weeping Battle Axe, under the empowerment of Weapon Blessing, now radiated a golden, vast and righteous brilliance!
Among these skill buffs, several could only be used on himself.
Apart from these few skills, all his other enhancement skills were also cast on his teammates!
Whoosh!!
Under the empowerment of numerous skill buffs, Zhou Yi's speed suddenly surged another notch as he charged rapidly toward Qingjing University's team!!
"The match has begun!"
"Huh? The Suhang University team didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to charge forward!!"
The match began, and Wang Kun on the host's platform also started his commentary for this match.
And above the stadium, the giant holographic projection focused its camera on the Suhang University side.
"It's surprising — when both sides are evenly matched in strength, generally they would choose to probe with ranged spell attacks first.
Suhang University launching a direct charge like this shows they're very confident in their own strength......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately shocked by Zhou Yi's speed:
"So fast! Zhou Yi's instantaneous speed absolutely exceeds 30 m/s — way too fast!"
"And not only that — 1, 2, 3...... in just one short second, Zhou Yi actually released 6 buff skills, and three of them were even applied to his teammates!"
"Hiss! Fast casting speed! Such powerful skill mastery!"
One must know—
Reality isn't a game — you can't just press a button to release a skill.
Releasing skills in reality, especially spell-type skills like this, requires a certain chanting time.
And chanting spells while running tests the professional's mastery of their skills!
If the mastery is too low, there's originally no way to do it!
"Indeed, Zhou Yi's instantaneous speed is too fast!"
"Just how high is his agility? That's terrifying!"
"Isn't the Holy Knight mainly specced into Constitution and Wisdom stats? How can he have such high Agility?"
"......"
The match had only just begun, and under the holographic projection and Wang Kun's commentary, the audience all realized an extremely astonishing problem.
Zhou Yi's speed is too fast!!
He doesn't look like a clumsy heavy-support at all — instead he looks like a swordsman whose speed has reached the extreme!!
"High speed gives an advantage in many aspects."
"But Zhou Yi directly broke formation and charged toward Qingjing University — what awaits him will be the fiercest ranged bombardment!!"
"You must know, the Qingjing University team doesn't just have mages — they also have divine archers with extremely long range!"
On the holographic projection in mid-air, besides the main image in the very center, there were also 12 small images.
Each small image corresponded to one competitor on the arena.
At this moment, just as Wang Kun finished speaking, the image belonging to Xia Lan was enlarged to the very center..........
One could see this absolutely beautiful elven girl standing ramrod straight, a jade-green longbow in her hand being slowly drawn back.
As the bowstring was pulled back, five golden arrows brimming with violent magical power also condensed upon it.
"Xia Lan! This divine archer from Qingjing University possesses an extremely special elven bloodline.
It's said that elves are born divine archers — with the blessing of her elven bloodline, Xia Lan's archery is terrifying! In yesterday's singles match she also successfully advanced to the fourth round."
Before this, Wang Kun had clearly done quite a bit of homework — the moment the image switched over, he began his commentary with great familiarity.
