"Wait, pause!"

Before he finished speaking, the panicked Allen hurriedly pressed the pause button, telling Feng Yi he wanted to sort through his thoughts again. Of course, the game still counts; he pressed pause just to get a feel for it.

"Alright, but only three times. As the saying goes, three's the limit, and each time your thinking can't exceed a minute. Wouldn't you say that's reasonable?"

"Okay, three times it is."

After speaking, Allen entirely entered a state of deep contemplation. The reason he pressed pause wasn't to delay time—there's really nothing to gain from delaying a minute—but to shake off Feng Yi's oppressive rhythm and find his own touch.

You could say, within these recent days of gameplay, Allen had experienced being dominated by a player stronger than himself. It's quite hard to regain his own rhythm under such domination, akin to making a move; his brain clearly can keep up, though the opponent continuously jumps with suppressive tactics, Allen somehow can't activate the Shoryuken button. He found this aspect of human muscle quite unfathomable.

The real challenge for Allen is how Feng Yi will suppress him next. After less than a minute's contemplation, Allen finally thought of fighting chaos with chaos, as he'd never encountered an expert like Feng Yi with such tactics before. So he decided to try chaotic strikes.

As he pressed the start button, just after the chubby character got up, a ki wave whistled its way over, yet he didn't dodge and instead ran straight towards it.

Meanwhile, Feng Yi jumped, deciding to execute aerial suppression, because as soon as he launched the wave, it precisely timed with the chubby character's getting up. Now, whether the chubby character chose a sidestep, roll, or jump, flaws would appear simultaneously, leaving him with no other option but defense.

Unexpectedly, the chubby character didn't defend but instead strode directly into the ki wave, which undoubtedly meant getting hit.

Of course, getting hit by the ki wave doesn't diminish much life—just the amount of a heavy punch's health, yet he obviously could've defended to lose just a sliver of life. Why choose to charge? This was something Feng Yi hadn't anticipated.

Because being hit by the ki wave took out as much life as defending 15 ki waves would, yet he chose this moment to recklessly charge.

Precisely at the moment during Feng Yi's jumping process, the ki wave simultaneously struck the chubby character's plump body, making him let out a painful cry, and the chubby character's stiff body time had ended. Feng Yi had just reached the peak of his aerial jump.

Could it be this chubby character is just trying to sell his flesh? But looking at it now, regardless of what he does, he can't stop the force of body downfall.

There's no other way; for now, all Feng Yi can do is pray the chubby character doesn't execute a finisher. At this time point, as long as the chubby character doesn't use a finisher and executes another move, at most, Feng Yi would only slightly suffer. If the timing is controlled correctly, he might even interrupt the opponent's action with light attacks in the air. Still, Allen isn't a novice; he understands this point clearly, especially since the chubby character's finisher has one second of invincibility, so now Feng Yi can only pray internally this guy doesn't execute a finisher, or else the advantage he slowly established would disappear in vain, also evaporating with the chubby character's flesh-selling distraction.

Furthermore, solely one finisher from the chubby character is enough to offset all previous strikes Feng Yi inflicted on the chubby character, even healing more life.

"Pause!"

At this moment, Feng Yi also called out pause, and as he spoke, the screen suddenly froze.

"Huh? What's with you calling a pause too?"

"Start!"

Allen's confused gaze just turned to Feng Yi, only to find this guy simultaneously pressed start, catching Allen extremely off guard with a pause-start tactic, pushing his thoughts into a half-second standstill.

Since Feng Yi had almost no gap between saying pause-start, it caused Allen to ponder for half a second, then spend another half a second regaining control of the joystick. Almost a second was wasted, which for Feng Yi, descending process, was enough to land.

At this point, Allen realized, this guy! He nearly reflexively triggered a finisher, but by this time, Feng Yi had already landed. Hearing the chubby character's finisher activation sound, Feng Yi instantly performed a sidestep.

The chubby character's finisher has two types: one is a series strike with tremendous life consumption, and the other is an airborne counter finisher. Although the latter doesn't have as much life consumption as the former, there's a potential system reward scene during the air time, making the airborne counter worth noting.

But… who knew… who knew his finisher would actually be dodged.

Allen's mouth hung agape: "Vicious, vicious! You, kid, are really too sly..."

"Hahaha, well, you can pause, I can too. This is called tactical pausing."

"Tactical pausing... huh?"

"Exactly."

"If you put it that way, then I'm not afraid anymore."

Feng Yi shrugged, to be honest, he truly wasn't afraid of Allen's tricks since the total pause time was only three rounds, one of which he'd already used. Under his guard, any of Allen's tricks were useless to him, completely ineffective; at this moment, Feng Yi even wanted to say, this skill doesn't hurt me.

The chubby character's finisher now missed. The finisher he used was indeed a limbs finisher. If this finisher doesn't hit, the character will run towards Feng Yi's direction over a small distance, and because the chubby character's running speed is very slow, empty execution would result in a two-second pause time, so now for Feng Yi, the chubby character is full of flaws.
