Chapter 282 – Psychic Array
Ranged players had an advantage against melee players in this type of high-alt.i.tude death map. However, if the opposite side played fiercely, it would be quite troublesome for a ranged cla.s.s to have their casting interrupted.
The style of the Spanish team was really fierce. In the face of such a dangerous map, the two swordsmen actually rushed straight forward, making Li Cangyu feel somewhat surprised.
The fire spirit was used to protect Zhu Qingyue but the two swordsmen on the other side cooperated quite well. They didn"t say anything and opened Light and Shadow Rotation at the same time!
Using such a big move when meeting!
The fans of the Spanish team started cheering excitedly, waiting for the two swordsmen to cut the fragile Chinese team to residual blood.
Then their cheers got stuck in their throats…
The moment that the two Spanish members opened the group attacks, Zhu Qingyue hid behind Cat G.o.d and cast a two second big move.
Psychic Array, Phantom Without a Trace!
Two identical phantoms appeared in Li Cangyu and Zhu Qingyue"s position while the real Li Cangyu and Zhu Qingyue were brought to the highest point of the plank road by the psychic array!
Zhu Qingyue"s clever psychic array allowed the two people to complete a wonderful teleportation at a crucial moment.
The two Spanish swordsmen failed in their big moves and Li Cangyu didn"t hesitate to summon his wind spirit and use Wind and Clouds Destruction.
A violent gust of wind blew and the Spanish swordsman standing near the abyss fell down with a scream.
The fans of the Spanish team stopped clapping and almost vomited up blood.
Meanwhile, the nervous fans of the Chinese team started to clap and scream. "Cat G.o.d is too handsome!" "The favourite wind spirit of Cat G.o.d!" "Blowing people off the cliff is so cool!"
The other Spanish swordsman escaped this move but his face was blackened like a pot.
Before the start of the arena game, their captain had specifically explained to them, "Beware of the elf summoner"s wind spirit and the demon summoner"s banshee."
The Spanish team didn"t have an excellent summoner but Rodriguez carefully studied the Chinese team and judged that the Chinese team"s captain and vice-captain were world-cla.s.s summoners. Among them, Li Cangyu"s wind spirit blowing move and Ling Xuefeng"s banshee strong pull were their signature moves. Players must be extra careful, especially when encountering them on a death map.
That"s why the two swordsmen quickly used a big move as soon as they started.
If they couldn"t reach the summoner in the distance, it would be easier to be controlled by the other party. If they moved closer and interrupted the summoner, they could prevent skills from being used and also cooperate with each other to kill the Chinese players.
Facts proved that they thought too simply of Li Cangyu!
Their control skills couldn"t control the opponents at all. Then the psychic"s big move teleported them, letting Li Cangyu attack from behind with the wind spirit, directly killing the swordsman!
The swordsman Enoch was left, making it a 1v3 fight!
He couldn"t hit Li Cangyu and started wildly attacking Zhu Qingyue. Breaking Bone Sword, Devouring Soul Sword and Blood-sucking Sword!
The swordsman"s three moves were extremely powerful and Zhu Qingyue"s blood directly fell to 30%!
Nevertheless, Xiao Zhu wasn"t an idiot who would stand in the same place. As Li Cangyu summoned the thunder spirit in the distance, he took a few steps back and started to cast another auxiliary move.
—Desperate Cage!
The effect of this array was very beautiful. The soft purple light spread at the designated position, forming a six-pointed star. Once the array was released, the soft light would rise rapidly and become a transparent cage, locking the opponent inside the array!
The swordsman was trapped in the array and Li Cangyu"s Thunder"s Wrath fell on him!
The purple thunder fell straight down and knocked out a large amount of blood. The swordsman desperately had to break through in a desire to chase Zhu Qingyue.
However, Xiao Zhu had already wisely ran to the highest point of the plank road. The staff in his hand was raised high as he read a large-scale array.
Time and s.p.a.ce Illusion!
The skill effect for this array was even more gorgeous. Red, yellow, blue and green colours suddenly spread from the staff in Zhu Qingyue"s hand, forming a pattern like a four-leaf clover in the designated position. The fast moving Enoch was once again trapped in place.
This was the most powerful illusionary array of a psychic and it was popular among the European teams. Enoch was very familiar with it but at this moment, he was trapped and wanted to smash his keyboard!
This illusion array had a characteristic. The people inside the array could move and attack but everything they saw was a distorted illusion, meaning the position of the opponent couldn"t be seen.
For example, at this time Enoch was seeing a distorted version of Mount Huangshan Plank Road. His swordsman was suspended in the sky and an invisible abyss was below his feet.
This type of floating in the air was too strange and he didn"t want to look at the computer screen.
Li Cangyu took advantage of this opportunity to use the summoner"s ordinary attack to decrease the other person"s blood. Once the illusion ended, Enoch was surprised to find that he only had 30% blood left.
Enoch didn"t hesitate to move and interrupt Zhu Qingyue"s skill. He unleashed a burst of hand speed and released three continuous skills, taking away the b.l.o.o.d.y Zhu Qingyue"s life in one breath!
However, Li Cangyu kept attacking from the distance and Enoch couldn"t hold on for long before he fell.
The audience clapped warmly. In the first stage, the Chinese team exchanged one head for two!
Zhu Qingyue might"ve died but he smiled happily.
Li Cangyu patted him on the shoulder. "Xiao Zhu, you played well."
Zhu Qingyue had only released three auxiliary arrays from beginning to end but the timing of each array was very clever, making it more convenient for Li Cangyu to attack.
A good a.s.sistant needed to observe the situation and a.s.sist in the game. They shouldn"t show off and should find ways to provide the best output environment for their partner. Xiao Zhu had learnt the essence of playing an auxiliary. His years as the captain of Pure Cleansing wasn"t a waste.
Moreover, this teenager smiled very cutely.
The director switched the camera to Zhu Qingyue and his slightly shy smile was magnified on the live broadcast screen. The domestic audience members saw this and couldn"t help saying: [The little crybaby is very cute when smiling!] [I don"t think he is ugly when crying!] [What to do? I think I have to become a fan of Zhu Qingyue!]
Zhu Qingyue didn"t know that many sunspots in the country had changed their minds about him. He only knew that in the World Compet.i.tion, he didn"t let down his partner as an a.s.sistant. This was enough!
"Cat G.o.d, refuel." Zhu Qingyue stared seriously at the captain next to him. "I believe that you can kill another person."
"Yes, I will try my best." Li Cangyu showed a straightforward and confident smile.

Chapter 283 – Triple Arena Kills
Li Cangyu"s current state was actually very good. He was full of blood and had half his blue left.
He used Wind and Clouds Destruction to directly kill one of the Spanish swordsmen. Then he killed the other swordsman with the help of Xiao Zhu"s arrays and hadn"t consumed too much blue.
In the second stage, the Spanish team sent the female players Benita and Karona, a swordsman and berserker combination. Li Cangyu had carefully studied the Spanish team"s lineup and knew about this pair of sisters. The berserker played very calmly. The swordsman"s hand speed was extremely fast and her general style was a bit similar to Xie Shurong.
It was 2v1 against a summoner. The two sisters of the Spanish team were confident.
At the beginning, Benita carried her giant axe and walked to the middle of the plank road. Karona didn"t fall and followed behind her teammate. The narrow terrain didn"t affect them and it was enough to see their tacit understanding.
Li Cangyu wasn"t in a hurry. His wind spirit"s cooldown time had ended. It was best if he could find a chance to use the map to kill one of them. If he couldn"t, he would lower the opponent"s blood as much as possible so that the next Su Yu combination could play more smoothly.
He didn"t hesitate to summon the water spirit. The moment the other party was about to catch up with him, the water spirit"s Water Ball struck, slowing down their speed. Then he used Flying Feather Steps to move back.
Due to the elf"s fast speed, the berserker and swordsman couldn"t catch up with him for a while. Karona couldn"t bear it anymore. She directly rushed towards Li Cangyu and used Spirit Lock!
At the same time, the berserker Benita used a teleport skill to jump behind Li Cangyu and used Mountain Chop to make a huge hole in the plank road, blocking the road behind him.
Li Cangyu was faced with a front and back pincer attack. He was simultaneously hit by Light and Shadow Rotation and Benita"s Cut Through Thorns!
Karona was just using Breaking Bone Sword to take away his life when Li Cangyu suddenly moved, crossing Karona and reaching the bottom of the plank road!
Karona only felt that there was a flower in front of her eyes. Despite there being only half a metre of s.p.a.ce next to her, a figure actually flashed past like a gust of wind!
The audience was almost speechless by the bold operation of Cat G.o.d on the plank road!
He almost hung out by one foot yet he could run so quickly on the edge of the cliff!
Ling Xuefeng watched the battle in the rest area and couldn"t help smiling. "His positioning is truly amazing."
There was a clear appreciation and pride in his tone.
The brainless fan Cheng Wei sitting next to him immediately agreed. "Yes! I think that if Miracle was to hold a match in the sky then our Cat G.o.d would definitely take the championship!"
Kou Hongyi praised in the commentator"s room. "The two players of the Spanish team must want to vomit blood! They just surrounded Cat G.o.d to prevent him from running away. They even deliberately stood on the edge of the cliff to block him. They didn"t expect… Cat G.o.d can cleverly move past them even with the smallest bit of distance!"
"They were hit in the face by Cat G.o.d"s movements." Yu Bing spoke calmly.
This felt like the two people were just about to catch a cat only for the cat to sneak out of a crack like a gust of wind…
Karona and Benita were stunned and immediately turned around.
They were greeted by overwhelming ice and snow. The water spirit"s Frost Heart!
This was the big move of the water spirit. Li Cangyu had kept it, waiting for a key moment to control the opponents.
He moved to the bottom of the plank road to escape the two people"s pincer attack. Then he followed up with the water spirit"s big move. It was too late by the time the opponents turned back. They were directly frozen in place by the ice and snow!
The thing that made Li Cangyu feel regret was that the wind spirit"s Wind and Clouds Destruction couldn"t blow the other side off the cliff. This was because the point where the two opponents were frozen was a corner of the plank road with guardrails.
It didn"t matter. He might not be able to use the wind spirit to kill people but his fire spirit"s cooldown was over.
Li Cangyu didn"t hesitate to summon the fire spirit.
He didn"t use the fire spirit"s big move, Raging Prairie Fire. This skill could greatly reduce the blood volume of the two people but the consumption of blue was too much. If released, the remaining blue might not be able to kill one of them.
Li Cangyu calmly used the fire spirit"s single target skill Fireball to hit the swordsman standing in front.
The dazzling little fireb.a.l.l.s were like fireworks. .h.i.tting Karona"s body and forcing her blood to fall to 60% in the blink of an eye!
The summoner"s terrible hand speed made Karona feel frightened. Once the control effect of Frost Heart was over, she immediately rushed forward and wanted to use her sword to interrupt the opponent"s casting.
At this time, Li Cangyu"s water spirit used an accurate Water Ball to freeze Karona in place!
The berserker Benita felt depressed. She wanted to catch up and block the opponent, but her teammate was frozen on the plank road and turned into a natural ice sculpture. This became an obstacle that blocked Benita"s way!
Kou Hongyi saw the scene where the sisters were blocked on the narrow plank road and couldn"t help laughing, "Hahaha, Cat G.o.d is too witty! The frozen effect will form an ice sculpture. Karona is frozen on a corner of the plank road and this blocks her sister from coming forward! Only one person is frozen but both people are controlled at the same time!"
Li Cangyu used the terrain in a precise and ingenious manner.
Mount Huangshan Plank Road wasn"t a straight path. It was a road suspended at the edge of the cliff and the corners were carefully fenced so that the compet.i.tors wouldn"t fall when their visual field was blocked by the cliff. Still, once a person at the corner was frozen, the people behind them couldn"t move past.
This was the same as a traffic jam. If there was a car accident at a corner of the road, the left and right sides wouldn"t be able to pa.s.s!
Li Cangyu happily continued using Fireball on Karona and her blood fell to 40%!
Karona of Spain was a top master and a first-cla.s.s player.
She had never met such a strong summoner when playing the league at home but from this moment on, the summoner rose to become her most hated cla.s.s!
It was unbelievable that she was beaten to residual blood by a simple Fireball.
Time proved that even if Li Cangyu didn"t use any big moves, he could use the simplest attack skills to cause serious damage in a short amount of time.
The freezing effect was finally lifted. The two players seemed crazy as they didn"t hesitate to rush down. Their imposing appearance seemed like they would tear the fragile summoner in front of them to pieces!
Li Cangyu was very calm. He still had 25% blue, which was why he had economically used Fireball to attack the opponent. At this time, he could no longer save his blue and Li Cangyu summoned the public pet, Departed Spirit! (TL: This was previously known as demon and the skill was demon possession. The author calls it Departed Spirit from now on so I"m going to change it to this).
After seeing the departed spirit appear, many domestic Cat G.o.d fans started to light candles for Karona.
The rapidly descending Karona wasn"t aware of this because Cat G.o.d"s speed was too fast. He called the departed spirit and it attached itself to her back in almost one second!
She was originally rushing down. As a result, the departed spirit attached to her and she suddenly abruptly slowed. It was like a high-speed car suddenly stopping. Due to inertia, Karona directly fell face-first onto the plank road!
Benita, who was rushing behind her, couldn"t put on the brakes in time and fell to the ground because of her teammate!
The audience, "…"
Cat G.o.d, aren"t you really good to the Spanish females?
Li Cangyu"s expression remained calm. After using the departed spirit to slow down the opponent, he retreated into the distance and cast the thunder spirit"s big move, Thunder"s Wrath!
A big move was worthy of being a big move. He might only have 5% blue left but it forced Karona"s blood down to 10%.
"Cat G.o.d only has 5% blue left!" Kou Hongyi was a bit nervous. "He can still release a Fireball! However, one Fireball isn"t enough to kill Karona. Perhaps he can use his ordinary attacks?"
Yu Bing cried out, "Too late!"
The berserker wasn"t affected by the departed spirit and swung her giant axe at Li Cangyu!
At this key moment, Li Cangyu made a fine operation that many people couldn"t see clearly.
Karona was trying to move forward to use a big move and kill this annoying summoner. However, the sword in her hand abruptly stopped as she was lifted into the air.
A small fireball exploded against her chest, leaving her b.l.o.o.d.y on the ground.
Karona stared at the grey screen in front of her as she wondered if something was wrong. How could a small fireball kill a swordsman who still had 10% blood left?
She was surprised and opened the system"s combat panel, looking at the replay of the information. Then her face turned as pale as paper.
Li Cangyu recalled the departed spirit.
Recalling the departed spirit was actively killing the pet but a full agility summoner had a special feature. Once a pet was recalled, there was a chance of increasing the crit rate of the next attack.
Li Cangyu used this feature by recalling the departed spirit at the crucial moment and then using Fireball. This Fireball did critical damage and took away the b.l.o.o.d.y terran swordsman in one breath!
Such sophisticated calculations, meticulous operations and absolute calm in crucial moments…
Was this person still human?
Karona stared at the computer screen in a complicated mood and was really convinced.
The Spanish team had very good players but the captain of the Chinese team, the summoner who never appeared in the world rankings—today he slapped the faces of those watching the World Compet.i.tion!
"Three kills, my G.o.d! Cat G.o.d completed three kills in the arena!" Kou Hongyi jumped up excitedly. "The first person might"ve died because of the wind spirit"s control but the next two were killed using a precise layout and clever moves!"
"Cat G.o.d really surprised us!" Yu Bing was also excited. "The ID of Old Cat, from today on, it is no longer an unknown elf summoner. The world"s Miracle fans will know that his name is Li Cangyu, the captain of our Chinese Miracle national team!"
Yu Bing"s words caused the domestic live broadcast room to be filled with flowers and applause.
In the Canglan Support Group, several administrators were crying.
From the young man who lost many battles in his youth to the captain of the national team at the World Compet.i.tion, this man suffered so much pressure but he never forgot his initial heart.
He didn"t feel discouraged or become arrogant.
His face was still calm despite killing three opponents.
This was the captain of their national team, Li Cangyu!
Under his leadership, who would doubt that the Chinese team couldn"t win the World Compet.i.tion?
