Chapter 148: Chapter 93 New Choice: Assassin Stream_3

The team immediately quickened their pace, advancing toward the direction of the rampaging insect tide.

...

Half an hour later.

A post’s appearance once again pushed the discussion of assassin playstyle to the top of the trending list.

[Holy shit, this assassin stream is too fierce, I’m dumbfounded watching it. Their killing efficiency seems on par with a mage’s area-of-effect damage.]

Poster: Cat-Raising Dog.

Content: Here’s the situation. My buddy and I were preparing to explore the southeastern region of the Blood-Colored Plain, and we saw a group of players charging through the insect tide. Didn’t think much of it at the time, didn’t take a closer look, my buddy and I just kept on moving.

But when we went back, we found that almost the entire player squad had been wiped out, but one player was still alive. His performance was simply out of this world.

What he chose must be the assassin Star Vein Combination that was just mentioned in the forums.

How do I describe his performance? Forget it, I’m at a loss for words... better to just show the video.

I guarantee you’ll definitely heap praise after watching: fucking awesome.

I’ll skip the part about the player squad fighting in the insect tide, let’s get straight to the point (Attachment: video).

...

As the video opens, the end of the frame shows the insect tide like a Crystal Stone torrent, spread across the land, with the incessant drone of insects releasing endless noise.

The video quickly zooms in.

You can see a dark figure swiftly weaving through the insect tide.

As the camera zooms in further, you can see the player navigating the insect tide has embedded the "Dusk Shadow" Life Soul. In combat, every strike precisely lands in the gaps within the insect tide to materialize physically, then switches back to a mist form when under insect attack, dodging the bloodthirsty bites of the Insect Warriors.

In his hand is a blood-colored dagger inscribed with runes; every strike accurately and flawlessly pierces through the most vulnerable part of an Insect Warrior’s throat.

Physical form, stabbing, vaporization, withdraw... every instance of solid-to-vapor transformation in the insect tide is like dancing elegantly on a Death Reaper Scythe; one lapse in attention could mean death.

Yet this player seems to have mastered the rhythm of the insect tide, skirting the edge of life and death, always managing to assassinate and retreat through startling angles.

It’s as if every breath is part of a calculated move.

Distance to the target, angle of attack, the number of insects nearby, frequency of insect attacks, speed of insect movement... all factors precisely calculated.

This scene makes those watching the livestream recall the last sentence left by the poster in the previous assassin strategy thread.

Assassination is an artistic performance where you choreograph the script.

This saying is validated in the player in the video.

Despite the overwhelming number of the Insect Race, to this player, they seemed like lambs to the slaughter, each of his moves supremely graceful.

Finding the fleeting moment to strike amidst countless possibilities for errors, killing an insect with a single blow, and even if he can’t kill, an imprint would explode seconds later, dealing area-of-effect damage.

In this region inundated by the insect tide, this player used his flesh and blood to paint a picture of death.

This can be called a massacre of artistry.

At the end of the footage, the player is clearly physically exhausted, unable to replenish his Physical Strength through potions amidst the insect tide and ultimately engulfed by the swarm, dissipating into black mist.

The emergence of this post quickly climbed to the top of the trending list, ranking four places higher than the assassin strategy thread.

Shrimp and Pork Heart: I’m blown away by the coolness. Assassin stream is the answer to this version, the killing efficiency is too high, basically killing one insect with each attack. Mages would need 3-5 Fireballs to kill an insect, not to mention the mental stamina issues. In terms of frequency, mages can’t compete with assassins at all. With this killing efficiency, who dares to say assassin stream is no good? (Chi Tu slams table.jpg)

Reject Mental Drain: Holy crap, I watched the video three times over, spellbound. That performance is truly fucking awesome. The battle can absolutely be described as elegant. If it wasn’t for the exhaustion, I feel he could have killed even more insects. The control over the timing of strikes is down to the second. Who knows which godly player this is, I want to follow him.

Old School Warrior: I silently take back what I said in the previous assassin strategy thread. Seeing the title, I wanted to come in and give a couple of taunts, thinking about how the assassin stream doesn’t seem presentable, and how bold they were to compare it with the stone-statue ghost Star Vein Combination. Then I saw the assassin stream player in the video and was blown away. We’re all playing the same game, but he’s like on a whole other level, a true Miracle. I’ve saved the video to watch over and over later.

Dark Night Will Come: So cool, but I still need to give a heads-up to players who get excited and rush into playing assassin stream after watching the video.

You guys need to understand that the strength of this assassin stream player in the video doesn’t come from the Star Vein School he’s using, but from his combat skills.

I can say with responsibility that with the combat skills shown by the player in the video, he could be strong in any Melee Schools.

And certainly several notches above players of the same Level and Star Vein Combination.

As for the average player, even if you choose assassin stream, once you get into the insect tide, you’re practically blind, unable to find the precise timing to strike, quickly retreating into a dark corner in frustration.

However, it’s certain that the assassin Star Vein Combination is very suitable for technical stream players.

Like the video’s player, his combat skills and awareness can greatly mitigate the low tolerance for error in the assassin stream, essentially relying on raw talent to compensate for the assassin stream’s weaknesses, while also raising the ceiling of potential.

Therefore, only players confident in their own strength are recommended to choose the assassin stream.

As for average players, trust me, don’t touch it.

I guarantee you’ll revert back to your original Star Vein Combination within 24 hours.

...

Ash’s performance in battling the endless insect tide after all his Old Army Group teammates perished was captured on video by a passing player and posted on the forum.

Players who saw the video were astonished by Ash’s performance.

The extremely high killing efficiency, precise timing of strikes, ghostly movements, control of the switch between reality and illusion in a split second... after Ash’s video emerged, the criticisms of the assassin stream on the forum gradually faded.

But as Dark Night Will Come from the forum said.

This is a Star Vein School that only technically skilled players can control; average players will only encounter endless frustration upon trying it, unable to maneuver elegantly through the insect tide and execute precise kills like Ash in the video.

The appearance of this video made many players start to realize the importance of skill.

With the same Star Vein Combination, technical stream players can significantly raise their skill ceiling, creating more possibilities.

And this is precisely the trend that Qi Sheng, lurking behind the scenes, wished to see.
