Chapter 23: Revolving Once MoreLin Jingyan's reaction was unexpectedly agile.
He managed to respond in time to Jumomax’s Tank Cannon, which didn’t require any chanting and was launched close at hand.
After a roll, Cold Dark Thunder rolled again, sending the explosion of flames behind him.This encounter with Jumomax’s playstyle proved that Xia Yu had met his match.Lin Jingyan wasn't particularly known for his Weaselly style, but his expertise in countering it was commendable.
It all came down to the fact that he frequently faced Fang Rui during their daily training sessions over the years.The spectators of Dominators were deeply impressed by Cold Dark Thunder's evasion."Only him can do this." Zhang Jiale said with a look of admiration.Choosing Lin Jingyan for his second appearance was partly due to targeting Jumomax’s 1% HP.Indeed, 1%, but due to Xia Yu, it warranted significant attention from Dominators.
As Xia Yu's longtime opponent, no one thought that 1% HP would deter him.
He would certainly try to maximize the impact of his remaining health and torment them mercilessly.Sure enough, he first bled out, then resorted to his weaselly tactics, even claiming "You win." While everyone wasn't certain that Dominators would lose this round, how much of a toll would it take?That's why they chose Lin Jingyan for the second battle.
With Xia Yu having so little health, he was bound to play weaselly, and Lin Jingyan had an excellent counter-strategy against such tactics.Just now, his counterattack came swiftly.
However, considering their current distance, the Power Knee Strike seemed premature and would not pose much of a threat.Still, this rhythm effectively contained Xia Yu's weaselly plays, which often required observation, thinking, and planning.
High-paced actions could make them less predictable.
But against truly weaselly opponents, just keeping up with such rhythms was a challenge in itself.But Lin Jingyan frequently faced such weasels during his training.The Power Knee Strike wasn’t the extent of it.
During his dash, Cold Dark Thunder suddenly spread sand at Xia Yu.The Power Knee Strike proved to be merely a movement skill;the primary attack was the sand blast, which expanded from a point to an area.
This shift in focus left Xia Yu with limited room for maneuver.Splash!Sand pelted Jumomax, causing a series of crisp sounds as Xia Yu could only slightly divert his view to avoid blindness.But Cold Dark Thunder had landed and immediately moved towards the direction opposite where Jumomax turned his gaze.
This subtle move might gain him a brief moment that could be fatal;Cold Dark Thunder executed a hook punch.Four claws extended, but unexpectedly, Jumomax's hands shot out simultaneously.
His view didn't turn to this side, yet his attack aimed towards it.Throw!Lin Jingyan immediately identified the skill based on the movement.
Both their skills hit at roughly the same time or slightly off, rendering any throw ineffective.
The direction of the throw was undoubtedly towards the fiery lava ahead.With only 7% HP left, Jumomax would surely toss Cold Dark Thunder into the lava.
Lin Jingyan couldn't bear such a fate for his character.Backward jump!Lin Jingyan preferred to miss with his hook punch rather than give Xia Yu this opportunity.Cold Dark Thunder dodged Jumomax's hands and immediately advanced, extending his own arms in response.Throw vs.
Throw, retreating then advancing, avoiding the opponent’s attack while countering their counterattack.
Lin Jingyan, a veteran of years in this profession, wasn’t wrong.
Although the Throw was a Judo skill, the other three fighting professions had never stopped using it since Honor's inception.Unfortunately, today faced Xia Yu, who had never appeared on an official arena stage before.
