Chapter 25 Gun and Physical Combat
Ye Xiu's movements are so fast that they are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Su Muqiu's actions were also very fast, not only fast, but also very strange.
In today's league, several marksman playstyles are quite popular. Less skilled marksman players often use a combination of ground-based and shooting-based playstyles, positioning themselves as a consistent damage dealer.
Stronger players often use flying and shooting styles, with more unpredictable movement and a much better output environment than the ground-based style.
Those with even stronger skills dare to use gun-based physical techniques in high-level competitions. Only players who can master gun-based physical techniques can be considered to have reached the All-Star level.
Su Muqiu's fighting style is completely different from theirs.
Su Muqiu's physical fighting style is no longer limited to the few physical skills available to sharpshooters; rather, it is entirely free and unrestrained, as if controlled by his own hand.
That Soul-Shattering Spear has transcended the category of a rifle, evolving into a sword, a spear, a scythe, and a hammer.
It can be used to shoot, stab people, cut off QQ accounts, or smash heads.
Even without skill bonuses, a poke, a slash, or a smash to the head can still cause considerable damage.
Su Muqiu even used the Soul-Breaking Spear as a shield; its not-so-wide handle would always appear on the path that the Thousand-Machine Umbrella had to take.
Although sharpshooters don't have skills similar to blocking, such actions can change the opponent's target area.
The skill, originally aimed at the throat, was blocked and struck the shoulder instead, thus reducing the damage significantly since it missed a vital point.
In short, do whatever is convenient and whatever is useful.
These are functions that a handgun simply cannot perform.
The fighting style Su Muqiu is using now can no longer be simply summarized as gun-based combat techniques.
If a name had to be given, then the word "machine" should be added between "gun-body technique" and "mechanical technique".
Gun-based martial arts!
"Mechanics" refers to the combat capability of firearms themselves.
The martial arts style prevalent in the league only utilizes physical skills in combat, without incorporating the combat power of firearms.
Only this rifle with a bayonet can perfectly demonstrate the weapon's combat capabilities.
However, this rifle is not something an ordinary person can wield. In the current Glory world, only Su Muqiu can use firearms and hand-to-hand combat skills, a skill he has gained through years of bloody experience and lessons learned from bayonet fighting against invaders.
Anyone else who tries to imitate this will likely suffer a crushing defeat.
"They're amazing," Tang Rou whispered to Su Mucheng, giving a thumbs-up.
Over the past two years, Tang Rou and Ye Xiu have fought side by side, so it can be said that she is very familiar with Ye Xiu's playing style.
But her eyes widened even more, and she could no longer predict Ye Xiu's next move.
This was the first time in two years that she had seen Ye Xiu go all out.
Even in the finals of the Challenger Tournament, when Ye Xiu faced One Autumn Leaf and Sun Xiang, Tang Rou had never seen Ye Xiu with such a serious expression or such a sharp offensive.
"Of course, those are my brother and Ye Xiu," Su Mucheng said.
At this point, even Su Mucheng was a little confused.
She and her brother had never fought side-by-side; she had only seen highlights of his battles later on. She was still in school when her brother's accident happened.
The fight between these two was too advanced; it had transcended the comprehension of ordinary people.
The last time I felt this way was many years ago when Ye Xiu fought the Magician, a battle between the most unsophisticated and the most dazzling tactics. To this day, very few people in the league can fully understand that battle.
Su Mucheng couldn't see clearly, but she wasn't annoyed. She just lay there smiling and watching.
As for Chen Haoyi, he was already feeling a bit dizzy.
The competition between these two masters was too advanced, completely different from what he had encountered before. He couldn't understand it yet, so he was confused.
The battle on the screen continued, with both characters' health points dropping rapidly.
The two characters leap and tumble, attacking, dodging, and parrying...
Occasionally, the crisp sound of the Thousand-Machine Umbrella colliding with the Soul-Breaking Spear could be heard.
As the character's health gradually decreased, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the two characters engaged in another fierce attack and were sent flying backward together.
Jun Moxiao and Qiu Musu both fell to the ground, but neither of them could get up.
Both characters' lives were wiped out, and they perished together.
"Is it over?" Qiu Fei asked blankly.
They would die together; what a coincidence!
Is someone deliberately rigging the water?
So who exactly is leaking the water?
Qiu Fei glanced at Ye Xiu, his mentor who had taught him by example, and felt that Ye Xiu was holding back.
Qiu Fei glanced at Su Muqiu again, this older brother he had only known for a few days, and felt that Su Muqiu was also going easy on him.
Or perhaps they were both holding back?
Qiu Fei couldn't understand it.
These two are at a much higher level than ordinary people can comprehend.
Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu took off their headphones, stood up together, and burst into laughter.
"Ash, you're even stronger than before. As expected of the pinnacle of Glory's combat power, your control over damage is absolutely superb," Su Muqiu said.
"Mu Qiu, you too. You're smarter and more cunning than you were back then," Ye Xiu said.
Ye Xiu turned around and hugged Su Muqiu: "Good brother."
Su Muqiu was also moved. He hugged Ye Xiu, patted Ye Xiu's shoulder, and seemed to want to say something.
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiu started coughing violently.
"Damn it, are you trying to murder your own brother?" It took Ye Xiu a long time to recover.
Su Muqiu looked embarrassed; his grip was too strong, and Ye Xiu couldn't take it after just a few slaps.
"You're such a weakling. From now on, you'll come with me for morning exercises every day."
Ye Xiu rolled his eyes.
Following Su Muqiu's morning training regimen would be exhausting. According to Qiu Fei, Su Muqiu's daily morning exercise intensity is almost equivalent to that of a special forces soldier.
Even Qiu Fei, a strong 17-year-old, couldn't keep up, let alone the 27-year-old Lao Deng.
"Mu Qiu, do you want to play a free-roaming character?" Ye Xiu changed the subject.
"You want to give me the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella?" Su Muqiu asked.
"That won't do." Ye Xiu quickly shook his head. "Just play another game."
Su Muqiu thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and gave up the idea.
"Forget it, I have my own path to walk."
Su Muqiu pointed to the Soul-Shattering Spear on the screen: "Do you know why I designed the Silver Armor like this?"
"Because this is the kind of rifle I used when I fought on the battlefield."
"I have a feeling that this Soul-Shattering Spear is enough to take me to the throne of the League of Legends."
"Therefore, I don't need the Thousand Chance Umbrella anymore."
"It's a pity this gun isn't perfect," Ye Xiu frowned.
"You mean team battles?" Su Muqiu reacted quickly.
"Yes, there's a big difference between one-on-one duels and team battles."
Ye Xiu used Wang Jiexi as an example: "There was once a player who played as recklessly as you, even more recklessly and flamboyantly, and he was also invincible in one-on-one combat. As a result, he failed to win any titles for two consecutive years."
"Later, he changed his playing style, suppressed his own desires to adapt to his teammates, and eventually won two championships."
"Team fights emphasize teamwork. Using two-handed pistols provides a wider coverage area and greater pressure. The output of a single gun is significantly lower no matter how you look at it. A sharpshooter who is invincible in a one-on-one fight is probably less effective in a team fight than a sharpshooter whose attack range covers the entire field."
