Chase When It's Time to Chase, Stop When It's Time to Stop

Just as a half-step gap appeared on the side of the Thunderclap Formation, a sudden burst of lightning flashed beneath Yu Tianheng's feet, and he slid right through it.

The first step was to step into the center line, and the lightning from the Dragon Transformation right arm pressed down on Yu Tianxin's shoulder; the second step was even faster, and the power that had exploded only in the upper body was transferred to the legs by the Thunder Dragon Body, and the whole person continued to move forward in the direction that Yu Tianxin was retreating.

Yu Tianxin took two steps back, and stopped on the third step.

"That's more like it."

He raised his arm to take the hit, and with a loud bang, a ring of scorch marks appeared beneath their feet at the same time.

Unlike the last exchange, the Thunder Academy members were not left behind. As soon as Yu Tianxin retreated, the left-side team members immediately filled in, and the right-side agile attackers also pressed towards the center line of the Imperial Fighting Team. The entire Thunderclap formation was stretched out, but it was not broken.

The same applies to Imperial Fighting Team.

Yu Tianheng was fast in pursuit, so the Shi Mo could only accelerate forward. Yu Feng turned back from the air, forcing Dugu Yan's poison line to move forward. The distance between Ye Lingling and the front line suddenly widened to its largest point in the day.

Dong Jian was standing in the middle and could see very clearly.

"One step further back from the back line."

They only reported the distance, without calling a stop.

Yu Tianheng has decided to pursue, so let him finish this round.

Yu Tianxin dodged the first lightning claw by sidestepping, and then countered with a punch from an even closer position. The two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul were almost touching, and lightning burst outwards from their shoulders and backs.

Yu Tianheng did not win easily.

He seized the opportunity to chase after them, gaining a half-body-length advantage; the price he paid was that the Imperial Fighting Team Line was also stretched out.

Thunderclap Tingmin attacked from the side, heading straight for the space between Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

The Shi Mo was still ahead. Yu Feng had only gone halfway when Dong Jian took two steps back.

He has to make up for it this time.

The opponent used the lightning as cover to cut in front of him, his body moving very fast, but his Soul Power attribute was more troublesome. Dong Jian did not touch the layer of lightning, but only used his arms and shoulders to catch part of the physical impact, and his waist and hips turned away accordingly.

The person shifted their position Circular Rotation, changing direction by half a step.

The lightning still grazed Dong Jian's forearm, leaving a noticeable tingling sensation.

Taking advantage of this opening, Ye Lingling retreated, Dugu Yan immediately pressed her poisonous mist between them, without breaking the flank.

But Dong Jian shook his numb hand.

"If we can catch up, someone will have to cover our retreat," Li Man said.

She only had five array eyes, and couldn't redeploy the entire front line for Yu Tianheng.

"He knows," Dong Jian replied.

Yu Tianheng knew, of course, that the reason he didn't press the fourth step after the first round of pursuit wasn't because there weren't opportunities before.

Yu Tianxin had just blocked the Thunder Dragon Body, and her right shoulder was indeed momentarily undefended.

When Ke Yu Tianheng looked ahead, he also saw that Thunderclap's flank had already caught up.

Go in again.

It will change from "pursuit" to "one person plunging into the entire Thunderclap team".

He accepted the prize, this time even later and more decisively than the previous round.

Yu Tianxin didn't press further, but instead pressed forward again during the half-beat of his response.

Thunder Academy's entire team caught up, and the two sides clashed again at the mid-court line. This time, Yu Tianheng did not gain the upper hand.

Shi Mo Tortoise Shell was struck by two lightning bolts in succession, causing its feet to slide backward; Yu Feng struck down from above, but was forced back by the opponent's agile attack. Just as Dugu Yan's poison mist formed a sealing line, Thunderclap Soul Skill blasted an opening from the side.

Stopping didn't automatically result in a complete formation, nor did pursuing automatically lead to victory.

What truly matters is judging whether it's worth moving forward at this moment or bringing the team back.

Qin Ming stood on the sidelines, his gaze never leaving Yu Tianheng.

Dong Jian can speak less in this match, and Li Man can play less.

Because the problem wasn't actually with those two people.

Yu Tianxin has already repaired her road.

Now it remains to be seen whether Yu Tianheng can transform "taking a step back" from a mere concept into a choice that requires reassessment each time.

The Thunderclap struck again, Yu Tianxin deliberately created an opening that was very similar to the one before, shifting her left shoulder to the side.

The right foot landed a little deeper.

A teammate next to him was forced back half a step by Dugu Yan's poison line.

It seemed like they could catch up, and Yu Tianheng did indeed move forward, but Dong Jian's first glance went back.

Just as Yu Feng returned from his new position, Shi Mo was two steps away from the front line.

Ye Lingling's treatment distance has been pushed to the edge.

"Two shots from the back line."

Lightning flashed beneath Yu Tianheng's feet, but instead of charging forward, he stepped back to his original position.

Yu Tianxin pressed down instantly.

"Another one?"

This punch was heavier than the previous one. Yu Tianheng crossed his arms and took the hit head-on, then slid back two feet.

The lightning burned a black mark on his cuff, but this time, the Shi Mo was positioned perfectly where he had retreated, and the tortoise shell was placed on the left.

Dugu Yan's poisonous mist replenished the right side, and Ye Lingling's healing light also landed just in time.

The entire storyline of Imperial Fighting Team was completed as he retreated.

Yu Tianxin took another half step and immediately realized that Imperial Fighting Team was no longer the same stretched-out battle line as before.

"Why didn't you pursue it this time?" he asked.

Yu Tianheng stretched his shoulders.

"If you keep chasing, there won't be a second punch."

"Was there just now?"

"There was some just now."

The answer was simple. Yu Tianxin stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Then let's do it again."

The third round of collisions begins.

The biggest improvement for the Thunder Academy today is that everyone was able to keep up with Yu Tianxin's first wave.

Being able to keep up with the first wave doesn't mean there won't be a time lag in every restructuring.

After a series of direct clashes, one of Thunderclap's right-side teammates was visibly losing Soul Power at an accelerated pace. Yu Feng didn't rush to take him, waiting until the opponent returned to his position for the third time before suddenly pressing forward from above.

The man pulled inward, Dugu Yan's poisonous threads were already waiting; he could only take one more step to the side.

This step is very small.

For the first time, the entire Thunderclap Array showed gaps that truly required readjustment.

Li Man saw it.

"Short circuit number three, can last for three breaths."

Before she could explain where she was going, Yu Tianheng had already turned his head.

Dong Jian glanced at Ye Lingling at the same time; the treatment distance was sufficient, and the Shi Mo was one step away from the front line.

Yu Feng is pressuring another of the opponent's agile attackers; this time, there's an opportunity ahead.

It didn't stop there.

"The lines are aligned," Dong Jian said.

Yu Tianheng charged forward without any hesitation.

The Thunder Dragon Body pressed its newly recovered Soul Power into its first two steps.

Yu Tianxin immediately met the attack, and the two clashed head-on for the fourth time.

Yu Tianheng still couldn't surpass him in terms of pure strength.

The first punch lands flat, the second punch is slightly deflected.

But Yu Tianheng didn't focus on the third punch and continued to wear down Yu Tianxin.

He used the second collision to shift to the left, and Yu Tianxin he should follow.

Dugu Yan's poisonous fog sealed off the edge of that short circuit.

It wasn't to poison him, but simply to force him to take an extra half step.

Yu Tianheng had already cut into the right side of Thunderclap using the three-breath short circuit given by Li Man.

The player who had just been forced into position by Yu Feng hadn't even regained his footing yet.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's lightning claws arrived! Boom!

The opponent, caught off guard, was thrown backward by the impact.

For the first time, the Thunderclap Formation was truly missing a piece, Yu Tianxin immediately rushed to its rescue; he was very fast.

Dong Jian, however, was already on this support line, unaffected by the lightning.

They also did not attempt to confront Yu Tianxin head-on.

He only managed to take the impact of a physical collision with his shoulder when Yu Tianxin passed by.

Despite the initial attack from Black Stance, Circular Rotation by only half a step, Yu Tianxin still charged forward.

But it was too late; the Shi Mo tortoise shell pushed in from the other side, and the Yu Feng above blocked their retreat.

The Thunderclap's scattered points failed to return to their original positions.

Yu Tianheng did not continue pursuing her.

"Receive."

This time it was him who shouted, Imperial Fighting Team quickly closed up again, and the short circuit that had just been created disappeared.

Li Man only had five basic points left, but the Thunderclap had already missed one complete follow-up play, and the situation began to tilt.

Yu Tianxin was still able to force Yu Tianheng to retreat in a direct confrontation.

Even in the final exchange, he still won by half a step.

But Imperial Fighting Team didn't give the Thunderclap another chance to press forward as a whole team.

One chase, one stop, one chase again.

Every choice is different, Yu Tianheng doesn't try to prove which one is always right; he only looks at the present.

Finally, Thunderclap's backline was cut apart by Dugu Yan's poison mist during a series of positional changes. Yu Feng forced one player back, Shi Mo blocked the middle line, and Yu Tianheng seized the second truly complete breakthrough point to push in.

The referee raised his hand.

"Thunder Academy has lost the conditions to continue full combat operations."

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy wins!"

The lightning slowly dissipated, Yu Tianxin stood in place, his chest heaving heavily. He was not seriously injured.

He was not truly defeated by Yu Tianheng in a head-on confrontation.

Yu Tianheng was also in bad shape; his right arm was still trembling slightly.

The two were a few steps apart, Yu Tianxin spoke first.

"Next time."

"I'll end the first wave."

Without saying you were right, nor admitting you were wrong, Yu Tianheng nodded.

"Then I'll take the first wave."

Yu Tianxin chuckled, turned and left the stage. As Dong Jian walked over, Yu Tianheng shook his numb arm.

"Did you intend to make me stop during the second pause?"

"I only reported the two shots from the back line."

"That means I don't think I should have pursued him."

The decision is yours.

Yu Tianheng glanced at him.

You've been saying that more and more fluently lately.

Dong Jian also smiled.

"Save trouble."

Li Man came up from behind and handed Yu Tianheng a clean cloth to wipe the blood off his arm.

"To save trouble, you'll both crash twice less in the next race."

Yu Tianheng accepted it.

"Observe the opponent."

After this match, the Imperial Fighting Team's points continued to rise, while on the other side...

Another team that also maintained a high winning percentage did not stop either.

Shrek, the two teams are getting closer and closer on the leaderboard.
