Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Ran Xiao did not speak during their conversation.

He was observing the movements of the player in front of him, who was called Xujiu, in order to prepare himself mentally.

Because it can be considered a "master-disciple" battle.

So both sides had actually agreed before the fight started that they wouldn't use potions or Ranxiao's skills.

This is a pure battle of tactics and strength!

When Ran Xiao heard the word "first round," she drew her two swords, which clashed slightly, producing a sharp "whoosh" sound, demonstrating that the two diamond swords were of superior sharpness.

After a long while, holding an axe in his right hand and a shield in his left, he saw Ranxiao making an opening preparation move and also turned the axe in his hand.

He was very familiar with the axe and had a high level of mastery over it; this was Ranxiao's first assessment of him.

Although she was supposed to be learning from him, Ran Xiao was more used to using a sword because of its fast attack speed and high damage, and didn't use the axe much.

He knew for a long time that the word "study" was probably a compliment.

The opponent's axe and shield are, for now, still a very good combination in Minecraft.

Offense and defense coexist.

Moreover, most players don't actually have that much physical agility, so using a shield is a safer option for them.

"start!"

Ran Xiao charged forward, swinging her enchanted sword with her right hand, dealing Sharpness 3 and Knockback 1, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the shield that had been in place for a long time.

Xu Jiu wasn't just standing there letting him hit him; he and Ran Xiao moved at the same time, running towards each other.

After blocking, he leaped high, raising his diamond axe high into the air.

clang--

Ran Xiao suddenly raised the sword in her left hand, blocking the axe that had been cleaving down for a long time.

In the first move, neither side gained an advantage.

But they understood that this was just a test, and the real showdown had not yet begun.

The two retreated a step and began to gather strength for their second attack.

"Brother Han, do you think Lao Xu can win?"

The player sitting on the ferry boat leaned out and asked him.

"...Let's wait and see if we can compensate him for the equipment..."

He paused for a moment before speaking.

There's no way we can win, right?

They originally just wanted to test whether they could shout it out; they never intended to actually fight.

But now that it's out there, we can't back down, so we have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Xu Jiu is considered to be the strongest fighter on their side, and he often wins against others.

However, he is just a highly skilled player, unlike top-tier PVP players like Ran Xiao who fight every day.

The arrow that had been fired long ago was cut in two by Ranxiao.

The two were now facing each other from opposite corners of the platform.

After noticing that Ranxiao hadn't taken a shield for a while, I decided to shoot an arrow directly.

But to his surprise, it was cut in two by the sword. He wondered what kind of enchantment the sword must have been to be able to cut it.

While he was distracted, Ran Xiao leaped up and quickly placed a block to her right front.

I used the momentum to push off as I passed by, and I went even faster.

And because of this force, his waist twisted, and from above, the two swords and his body spun like tops.

I wasn't surprised for long. When the opponent placed the blocks, I held my shield in front of me to block the attack.

He replaced the bow in his hand with an iron axe, and as the shield was struck repeatedly with a series of clangs, the iron axe flew out.

He circled around and attacked Ranxiao in a boomerang-like motion.

After a while, the shield could no longer withstand such frequent attacks, and its durability was rapidly decreasing.

As Ran Xiao turned away, he also took a step to the side.

He handed the shield to his right hand, and he also caught the axe that had flown back.

Neither of them was injured.

But it's clear that they've been at a disadvantage for a long time.

While Ranxiao was walking steadily, he cast his fishing rod.

It wasn't hooked onto Ran Xiao, but rather onto the toe block he had just used for his sprint.

He abruptly reeled in the rod, and after a long while, he found himself pulled away.

He grabbed the lava in his left hand and collapsed just as it was about to pass by Ranxiao.

Unfortunately, it was placed too early.

And then Ran Xiao kicked him, sending him flying in another direction.

First blood, Ranxiao successfully secured the victory.

Kill him while he's sick.

Ranxiao threw the diamond sword in her left hand straight at Xujiu.

He then took out a bow and fired several arrows in quick succession.

The diamond sword struck, but the arrow missed.

After being knocked to the ground by the diamond sword, Xu Jiu rolled to the left and narrowly avoided the attack.

Seeing how fierce Ranxiao was, they directly pulled out their ultimate weapon, TNT.

After lighting it in his hand, he threw it at Ranxiao, having anticipated Ranxiao's path.

Behind that tiptoeing block.

Ran Xiao looked at the TNT that was flashing continuously in the air.

He decisively turned back and ran towards the lava.

But not to get burned.

Instead, he took out his usual bucket of water from his backpack and poured it on the surface.

Squeak—

The obsidian solidified, and Ranxiao placed a block on top of it after she passed by to protect it from the impact of the explosion.

While Ran Xiao was hiding, Xu Jiu took a bite of bread to replenish his energy.

That kick landed on the left side of his stomach, it was excruciating...

Both sides were completely aroused.

Ran Xiaoyuan had been holding the diamond sword in her left hand for a long time.

He lost one of his weapons, but that's okay, he still has others.

Seeing Ran Xiao pull out another diamond sword, Xu Si couldn't help but twitch his lips.

You're rich, you have tons of diamonds, go ahead and throw them away.

When he first threw away the axe, he was afraid of this situation, which is why he switched to an iron axe.

After all, he only had one diamond axe, and he would feel bad if Ran Xiao picked it up.

Now I can wield an axe in my right hand and a sword in my left.

However, after a while, he took out his fishing rod again.

This time, the target is the place where Ranxiao waits.

He planned to attack from top to bottom, because attacking from above is always extremely convenient, no matter the situation.

In a place that had been out of sight for a long time, Ran Xiao ate a golden apple.

A buff has been applied.

After finishing the gnaw, I saw a fishhook on the rock in front of me.

Now that we know what the other party is planning, how can we let them succeed?

It's clearly not Ranxiao's style to endure it.

Since you like TNT so much, you should give me a gift in return.

Hold the TNT in your hand beforehand, and light it and place it on the ground when you hear the sound of the rod being pulled back.

As I ran away, I jumped up and lit a fire on the block above the obsidian.

This time, without any external force, even if they saw the ball of fire, they couldn't change its direction.

He crashed straight into it, thus inviting trouble.

Moreover, since his plan was to split the dawn from above, he couldn't even find a foothold on the fire.

Just as I stepped over the pillar of flames, I was met with an expanding TNT.

It was blown away before it even landed.

However, it's possible that his equipment happens to have an enchantment like blast protection.

The blood loss is less than three-quarters.

Ran Xiao thought this would end the battle immediately, so she didn't do anything to Xu Jiu who had flown out.

Only after the opponent landed and their health bar appeared did he regret not finishing them off with two more arrows.

Xu Jiu reacted quickly; by the time he was blown up, he was already biting into the golden apple.

The health bar quickly recovered, but it was still not full.

After a long while, he sprang up from the ground with a somersault.

As soon as he got up, he ran straight towards Ran Xiao.

Because he failed to inflict effective damage on the opponent twice by trying to use tactics, he eventually gave up and just fought head-on.

Seeing him like this, Ran Xiao ran to the side while shooting arrows.

As the opponent closed in, the twin swords slashed out again.

The battle area between the two sides is now much smaller than before.

Even after being bombarded twice, the platform still had two large holes left.

Du Han had his men go underwater to repair the hole, but it would take time.

Now both of them are squeezed into a corner.

Close combat is unavoidable.

Hyper hyper hyper hyper.

A series of diamond-like clashing sounds rang out as both sides, unsurprisingly, struck each other's weapons.

Ran Xiao knew that this couldn't go on, as the opponent's health would soon be fully restored.

A quick crouch caused the axe attack to miss its mark.

He darted to the side, sheathed his weapon, and delivered a sideways kick.

He kicked the man squarely in the chin, and the man staggered in pain.

Ran Xiao seized the opportunity and threw another sword over.

But this time, Xu Jiu was smarter and didn't get hit.

Instead, he threw the sword he had just picked up over, and then picked up the one that Ran Xiaoxin had thrown.

"Tsk."

Throwing the sword he threw at himself was truly like dancing on Ran Xiao's head.

He gripped his enchanted diamond sword with both hands and swung it horizontally.

clang!

The diamond sword flew back to where it had been when it was picked up.

When the wooden handle hit his body, the effect of the blocky man losing health seemed to turn red-hot after a long time.

He rushed to Ran Xiao's side and swiftly slashed down with both hands.

One hand was blocked, but the other hand wasn't.

Ran Xiao still lost health.

He raised his foot and delivered a side kick, striking the opponent's hand.

The rhythm was disrupted, so we quickly retreated.

Ran Xiao placed a tiptoe block, and leaped high into the air.

With a somersault, she turned in mid-air and landed far behind.

The two swords slammed down simultaneously, and the health bar, which had been standing for a long time, was critically hit, dropping by a large margin.

Another kick, landing on the opponent's hip joint.

Unable to hold on for a long time, his body fell forward.

Ran Xiao took the opportunity to pour out a bucket of lava, while her right hand continued to chop.

Until Du Han called a halt.

By this time, he was only left with a sliver of health.

Ran Xiao kept her promise and let the other party off the hook, pouring a bucket of water on him.

He took out a healing potion from his backpack and smashed it between the two of them.

After a long time, the health points finally returned to normal, and the person was no longer on the verge of death.

He struggled to his feet and took a bite of the golden apple.

"I am willing to admit defeat."

After a long while, he took off his equipment and placed it in front of Ran Xiao.

"I'm truly impressed, you really know how to fight—"

After taking off their gear, it was as if some kind of seal had been broken, and they shamelessly came up.

She leaned close to Ran Xiao, her eyes sparkling.

"How can you play like that? How did you do that somersault? Can this game be played like that?!"

"If you spent every day fighting drowned corpses underwater, not only hand-to-hand, but also with gear, with a sword, and dodging tridents, you could do it too."

Ran Xiao wasn't lying; that's exactly how he trained.

The resistance is greater underwater than on land.

Sometimes he has to dodge a bunch of drowned zombies' tridents, which fly in from all directions.

There are no footholds underwater, so you have to swim to avoid danger.

Over time, as your body becomes more flexible, you'll naturally be able to dodge it.

Such movements as side flips and backflips can not only be done underwater, but also on land with a place to use for leverage.

After a long while, looking as if he had learned something, he went back to the ship to ponder.

Seeing that he had already taken off his equipment, the others exchanged glances and followed suit, some taking off their helmets and others taking off their shoes.

They put them all on the platform they had just built themselves.

Ranxiao's live stream room.

The audience had just witnessed such a spectacular fight scene, and they couldn't contain their excitement.

Who understands? The guy I've been following hasn't shown up in ages.

He who remains silent until he makes a stunning appearance is truly remarkable.

It's been a long time since the last time viewers saw Ranxiao fight with players.

A while ago, when they opened the live stream, it was Ran Xiao "playing" with the drowned corpse.

Yes, in their view, it's pretty much like playing.

Because when Ranxiao first started sparring with the drowned corpse, she didn't stream it live.

It was only after being abused to the point of having some ability that it was activated.

The audience saw him dodging the drowned corpse's trident with ease and thought it was just a show, just playing around and not a real fight.

Today's fight scene made them realize that Ran Xiao's strength seemed to have suddenly increased.

But only Ran Xiao herself knows how she trained.

No one knows the hard work they put in behind the scenes.

He didn't really want to fight the drowned zombies at first, but by then there were fewer players coming.

And each time, they were quickly dealt with by the drowned zombies and the boss.

There was absolutely no place for him to make a move.

At that time, Ran Xiao really felt like she had become a junkyard manager.

Every time I go out, all I do is collect items; I can't do anything else.

Shi Qian couldn't stand it anymore and made Ran Xiao fight the drowned corpse.

He knew that Ran Xiao actually loved fighting, but they were currently in the sea, and the players weren't coming over.

These monsters are the only opponents I can practice against.

I can't fight him, and I can't just put the child back on shore.

If we put them back on shore, there will be no emergency plan for this place.

Ran Xiao was aware of her role, so she kept her desire to fight and return to shore to herself.

She never said it out loud, and remained as sunny and cheerful as ever.

However, Shi Qian actually knew what he was thinking.

He is very clear.

Such a deep seabed, so profound, so silent, so still.

Few people can withstand it.

Moreover, Ran Xiao doesn't have night vision, so he's practically invisible underwater.

Unable to do anything else, I could only stay in that dimly lit storage room every day.

People will go crazy.

When Ran Xiao first heard Shi Qian ask him to fight the drowned corpse, she was actually a little disdainful.

After all, it was just a drowned corpse.

It's a monster.

But when the fight actually started, it felt different.

Although drowned corpses are just monsters, they are different from ordinary drowned corpses.

They have brains and some ideas.

Moreover, the drowned corpses are becoming stronger.

Their attack power and the frequency with which they throw tridents have both increased.

When Ran Xiao first started fighting, Shi Qian only gave him ten drowned corpses.

Even with only ten, Ran Xiao found it somewhat difficult.

Because they surrounded Ranxiao in a circular formation.

And since it was in the water, both the top and bottom were sealed off.

Ranxiao's eyesight is not good underwater.

At first, it was impossible to tell from which direction the trident on his body was being shot.

Fortunately, Shi Qian was very supportive of Ran Xiao's self-improvement training, and he poured out recovery potions like they were free.

After Ranxiao was stabbed, she threw in some medicine to restore her health.

At first, they didn't fight; Shi Qianguang had Ran Xiao try to dodge.

One, two, three...

As more and more tridents were thrown to the ground, Ran Xiao's agility also increased, to the point that she could even perfectly dodge the tridents thrown by ten drowned zombies at different times.
