Song Changdong did not expect that Qin Mo would be so fierce from the beginning, and that by the end of the control effect, both his and Lin Shuangcheng’s blood volume had been reduced by half!
Lin Shuangcheng reacted quickly. The instant the 3-second control ended, he immediately used qinggong to fly behind Qin Mo, simultaneously using the secret book ‘Sword Remnant’!
This secret book had a similar effect to ‘Sword Rain Fragrance’, and was a group attack + group control skill. However, the damage dealt by the secret book skill would fluctuate depending on the distance from the caster; the closer the distance, the higher the damage. Because Lin Shuangcheng had teleported over to Qin Mo before releasing the skill, Ink Mark lost 25% of his blood volume, while Thousand Miles Ice who was further away only lost 15%. Both people were also stunned by the blast.
While stunned, players could not continue to release skills, unless the negative state was immediately lifted.
A soft green light surrounded Xiao Han and Qin Mo. Obviously, Xiao Han had brought the secret book ‘Clear Heart Mantra’ with him.
Seeing this, Lin Shuangcheng was surprised. Xiao Han usually brought stealth or attack secret books to deal damage, yet he brought a purification secret book this time. Of course, it was in order to cooperate with Qin Mo.
Releasing the control effect gave Qin Mo the opportunity to break away. Using qinggong, he escaped sideways, striking Lin Shuangcheng along the way with a combo of ‘Sword Horizon’ and ‘Sword Rain Remnant’!
But in doing so, the distance between him and Song Changdong widened.
—— Not good!
Realising that the situation was dire, Lin Shuangcheng turned back to protect Xiao Song, but it was already too late!
Qin Mo’s true intentions were to shout to the east and strike in the west. He made a feint to draw Lin Shuangcheng away, but in fact, his true target was Song Changdong!
—— Unrivaled Sword!
The longsword in the hands of the white-clothed swordsman shot forward, stabbing Song Changdong in the chest!
At this moment, Song Changdong was very passive, because Xiao Han had controlled him with ‘Phantom Dreaming’ from behind. Because of this, Song Changdong couldn’t see the positions of Xiao Han or Qin Mo at all.
The true intention of Han Mo’s operations was to join hands to dispose of Song Changdong.
Song Changdong was in a precarious situation after being beaten to 30% residual blood. “Xiao Song, quickly retreat!” Lin Shuangcheng reminded him.
Song Changdong could only see a field of blooming flowers before him. Hearing his captain’s words, he braced himself, flying back ten meters with qinggong to avoid Xiao Han’s surprise attack while simultaneously launching a group attack skill at the Han Mo pair.
Immediately, Lin Shuangcheng broke into a combo with his short sword—— Heaven Breaking Sword! Heart Lock Sword!
The fiery Red Heaven in the swordsman’s hands flew into the air, splitting into countless sharp blades that fell like a sudden storm!
The short sword flow mainly relied on attacks, and the damage caused by this combo was quite considerable. In addition to the group attack released by Song Changdong during his retreat, Xiao Han and Qin Mo’s health were reduced to 50% and 45% respectively!
At this time, Qin Mo suddenly turned toward Lin Shuangcheng, releasing a skill along the way—— Riverbound Sword!
The snow-white sword rushed at Lin Shuangcheng, instantly sending him ten metres backwards!
With this distance, it was impossible for Lin Shuangcheng to attack them.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Han immediately used Thousand Lights Ghost Walk to catch up with Song Changdong. Alongside the big move of Shadowless Dragon, a single skill of ‘Deadly Ice Silkworm’ took away what was left of Song Changdong’s blood directly!
After the illusion control ended, he was immediately greeted by the grey screen of death, stunning Song Changdong. It was a little upsetting that Xiao Han and Qin Mo’s speed was so fast, for he didn’t have time to react at all, and was completely suppressed by the opponent from beginning to end. The tacit cooperation between Han and Mo caused Song Changdong to be completely messed up!
As a player from Hanhua Sword sect’s longsword flow, god Mo took the lead in controlling the field at the beginning of the match, and gained a huge advantage by cooperating with god Han’s outbreak. On the other hand, he was half a beat slower, allowing the rhythm to be controlled by his opponent… Was this the gap between them?
Song Changdong was somewhat frustrated. Seeing his captain besieged by Han and Mo combination, he felt even more ashamed.
At present, Lin Shuangcheng still had half blood and enough blue. Qin Mo had used too many skills in the last exchange, and had around 20% blue left with his 45% blood volume. However, Xiao Han was in a very good state. Qin Mo’s protection had caused Lin Shuangcheng’s attack to miss, thus, Xiao Han still had half his blood and blue left.
Since it was 1V2, he would undoubtedly lose in this game. However, even if he had to die, he would drag someone down with him; at the very least, he ought to kill Qin Mo!
Flying towards Qin Mo, Lin Shuangcheng immediately launched several skills from the short sword flow—— Traceless Sword, Wind Destroying Sword, Blood Feast Sword!
The control skills of short sword flow weren’t as good as that of the longsword flow, but it had a stronger attack power. Lin Shuangcheng’s relentless attack dealt a lot of damage, reducing Qin Mo’s blood to 10%!

Seeing Qin Mo was about to die, Xiao Han immediately dashed to Lin Shuangcheng, hitting him with a two-hit combo of ‘Meteor’, reducing Lin Shuangcheng’s health to 15%.

This match depended entirely on Qin Mo controlling the field to create more opportunities for Xiao Han. From beginning to end, Xiao Han’s output was hardly disturbed, and in the last minute, Qin Mo dragged the time just enough for Xiao Han to finish killing Lin Shuangcheng. The cooperation between them was very tacit.
However, between them, Qin Mo carried the bulk of the burden. He needed to judge the situation and control the field, while Xiao Han only needed to deal as much damage as he could. Both of them made full use of their advantages and won their first game together.
“The rhythm of the first game was so fast that I couldn’t even get a word in, and had to rely on the slow-motion playback to look at their operations,” Ye Chao lamented. “God Mo grabbed the initiative at the beginning, which was the key to determining the outcome of the game. The advantage of Twin Stars joining hands is really too great, and while Lin Shuangcheng counterattacked several times in the middle, it wasn’t enough to change the final result.”
“Xiao Song ought to be nervous,” Liang Ru added sympathetically. “He had only released a few skills when Han and Mo teamed up to kill him directly.”
“It’s not entirely his fault either,” Ye Chao shook his head. “With the other party’s speed, it is understandable why Song Changdong could not adapt. Still, I hope he can adjust his mentality for the next match.”

In the backstage lounge, Shen He’s expression was full of admiration. “Master and god Han are really fierce, Xiao Song was directly pressured to death!”
“En,” Li Muran nodded, “His response was slow.”
Looking back at Li Muran, Shen He asked. “Brother Ran, what map do you think captain Lin will select next?”
Li Muran thought for a few moments. “Perhaps a square map?”
Shen He also thought about it for a little while. “It makes sense. Lin Song is a combination of melee players, and a square map will be beneficial to them.”
However, after the second game started, both men were slapped in the face at the same time——
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuangcheng chose ‘Xuanbing Palace’s Secret Room’.
This was a map of Xuanbing Palace, and was classified as a maze map. However, its terrain was not as complex as general maze maps. Instead, this map was a world of ice and snow, with many small houses connected to one another. Both the ground and the surrounding walls were made of ice, and due to the slippery surface, the players’ speeds would be greatly increased on this map—— about 20% faster than if they had been on flat ground.
Another feature of this map was that the surroundings couldn’t be destroyed.
Ordinary stone pillars, walls and other objects could be blown up by the Zhuge Family’s mechanical chariots, Hanhua Sword Sect’s Skyward Sword, as well as the explosive skills of other sects. However, Xuanbing Palace’s Secret Room was located underground, and destroying the walls would cause the entire room to collapse. Therefore, full-screen explosions would be blocked by the walls, but penetration skills would remain unaffected.
Li Muran, who was slapped in the face, was very calm. “Captain Lin’s considerations are more comprehensive; I ignored the influence of the map environment.”
“It’s normal to guess wrongly,” Shen He laughed. “If you had guessed correctly, you would already be qualified to be a captain!”
“En,” Li Muran nodded. “Let’s watch.”
At the beginning of the game, both groups of players refreshed in different corners of the maze.
If it was an individual competition, Xiao Han would like this maze very much, because he could sneak around to ambush his opponents. However, this was the partner competition. If he acted separately from Qin Mo, it was likely for Qin Mo to fall into the dangerous situation of a 1V2. On the other hand, if he moved with Qin Mo, the other party would easily judge his position.
Walking by his side, Xiao Han asked, “Together or split up?”
“Split up,” Qin Mo replied. “I will act as bait, while you go behind.”
Xiao Han nodded. “Then, be careful.”
After a brief exchange, the two separated at the next fork in the road. Xiao Han used his sect’s qinggong skill to hide himself as he went east, while Qin Mo walked to the west.
From the god’s perspective, the audience could see that Lin and Song were headed south together. After Xiao Han and Qin Mo split up, it became a pincer-like situation, with the two of them closing in from the left and right sides.
The road Xiao Han travelled was further, so Qin Mo was first to appear before Lin Shuangcheng.
Lin Shuangcheng had long since known that Qin Mo and Xiao Han might choose to attack from different directions. Thus, he stood to wait for their approach, and his reaction was naturally very fast. Seeing a white figure flash around the corner, he immediately swung Red Heaven, tracing fiery sword arcs in the air, stabbing Qin Mo with several moves—— Traceless Sword, Wind Destroying Sword!
Song Changdong immediately followed up with the longsword flow’s targeted skill—— Unrivalled Sword!
Ink Mark was shrouded by Red Heaven’s fiery light, while the ice-blue Galaxy Sword stabbed him in the torso. Having been hit by both opponents at the same time, Qin Mo’s directly beaten to half blood!
The damage caused by the combination of Lin Song was very high, but Qin Mo wouldn’t sit there and wait for death.
Song Changdong followed up with the control skill ‘Sword Rain Remnant’. Cleverly avoiding the control, the longsword in Qin Mo’s hands shot forward—— Riverbound Sword!
Knocked into the air, Song Changdong flew fifteen meters away in an instant!
On flat ground, Riverbound Sword could only knock the opponent back ten meters. However, because of the slippery ice floor, the knockback effect of the skill was amplified to a distance of fifteen metres. This distance was also just enough, and Qin Mo sent Song Changdong flying to a corner of the maze—— right in front of Xiao Han, who had just arrived.
Since Qin Mo took the initiative to deliver the opponent to his doorstep, Xiao Han would naturally not be polite, and immediately opened an explosive set of skills—— Shadowless Dragon, Meteor, Deadly Ice Silkworm!
Shadowless Dragon had the effect of doubling damage for three seconds, allowing Xiao Han’s instantaneous explosion to take away half of Song Changdong’s blood!
Being kicked over to god Han and having to take this wave of attacks shocked Song Changdong badly, and he immediately used qinggong to return to his captain’s side. When the distance between him and Ink Mark reached twelve meters, the longsword in his hands was thrust at Ink Mark—— Drifting Sword!
Because the ice surface increased speed, Drifting Sword’s penetration effect also increased by two meters.
At this moment, Qin Mo and Lin Shuangcheng were locked in a 1V1 match. Lin Shuangcheng was left with 60% of his blood, but because Qin Mo was besieged by Lin Song at the start of the game, his blood volume was at a precarious 30%!
Qin Mo decisively opened the big move Skyward Sword!
While the walls of Xuanbing Palace’s Secret Room could not be destroyed, this was still an AOE skill, and both Lin Song were within its targeted range.
After Qin Mo’s big move, Song Changdong was left with 25% blood, while Lin Shuangcheng’s blood volume had fallen to 40%.
At this moment the audience realised that while Qin Mo had been beaten into residual blood, Xiao Han’s condition was terrifyingly good—— full health, 80% blue!
This version of Xiao Han was an extremely large threat. Lin Song needed to quickly dispose of Qin Mo, for only if they faced Xiao Han 2V1 would there be a chance of victory. If Qin Mo was allowed to drag the pace of the battle, the uninjured Xiao Han would become a BOSS!
Thinking of this, Song Changdong immediately opened a big move—— Skyward Sword!
It was the same big move from Hanhua Sword Sect. Logically, it should have the same power as Qin Mo’s own skill.
However, the moment Song Changdong’s longsword was raised, Qin Mo immediately opened the secret book ‘Immovable Mountain’!
The precise reflection of damage at this critical moment not only wasted Song Changdong’s big move, but also caused him to kill himself!
—— [River Of No Return] has killed [River Of No Return]!
The message that popped up on the screen caused the audience to roar with laughter, simultaneously expressing deep sympathy for Xiao Song.
Ye Chao could not help laughing. “God Mo is too wicked, he bullied an honest man!”
“It’s no wonder he dared to face two people alone,” Liang Ru mused. “The secret book he brought this time was to reflect damage, which could be used to save his life at a critical moment!”
This was something Song Changdong had not expected, but Lin Shuangcheng had reacted the moment Xiao Song came over. He immediately used the movement speed bonus from the ice to retreat, avoiding the damage reflection secret book skill, and used his own secret book ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’ at the same time!
The sudden sweet melody surprised the audience, but soon, everyone realised—— the sound effect of this secret book was the song by the same name, which netizens were very familiar with.
This was the most terrifying group control among all the secret books—— group chaos.
Other negative states such as stun, dizziness, or immobilisation could be removed, but the control effect of chaos could not be purified. Moreover, as if they had gone crazy, the affected person would attack their teammates with skills.
The negative impact of chaotic control on a team was immeasurable, and could be compared to a civil war among teammates!
Xiao Han and Qin Mo were thrown into chaos, and very quickly, the audience witnessed an extremely funny sight——
Xiao Han used ‘Thousand Lights Ghost Walk’, laying siege to Qin Mo with his shadows, while Qin Mo used the longsword in his hands to stab Xiao Han fiercely!
Qin Mo and Xiao Han fought each other without respite, while Lin Shuangcheng gleefully enjoyed the show from the sidelines, occasionally throwing skills at Han and Mo along the way.
This Lin Shuangcheng is a wily old fox!” Xiao Han fumed.
“We don’t have a choice,” Qin Mo sighed helplessly. “Just pay attention to the time and counterattack.”
The other players backstage suddenly realised; against Twin Stars, ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’ seemed to be a blessing from god!
—— the Twin Stars were just too powerful. Since you can’t defeat them, then just let them fight each other.
Shen He was extremely anxious. “Lin Shuangcheng is so despicable, he actually came up with such a trick!”
“He is indeed very cunning,” Li Muran agreed.
In the arena, after his shadows vanished, Xiao Han followed up with Rainbow Through The Sun, immediately killing Qin Mo with a critical hit.
—— [Thousand Miles Ice] has killed [Ink Mark]!
Seeing this, the audience burst into laughter, with many fans spamming the bullet screen: “Momo, when you get back, make god Han kneel on the keyboard!”
“God Han actually beat Momo to death, he needs to kneel on the keyboard at night!”
“God Han expresses: My mind was chaotic, I couldn’t help it!”
“Don’t blame god Han, he is definitely reluctant to fight Qin Mo, the culprit is obviously Lin Shuangcheng!”
Upon being killed by Xiao Han, Qin Mo’s expression was still very calm—— because, this was a good thing for them. The chaos control effect would only affect teammates, and after his death, Xiao Han would not indiscriminately use skills, which would save him some blue. After the control effect ended, he could counterattack.
At the moment, Xiao Han still had around half his blood left, which was a great advantage against Lin Shuangcheng.
The moment the 3-second control ended, Xiao Han immediately used a skill that caused the audience to cough up blood—— Pivoting Heart Sutra!
A soft verdant light surrounded Thousand Miles Ice. Among the various secret books in the game, the only group heal was ‘Pivoting Heart Sutra’ from Fangcao Hall.
Thousand Miles Ice’s blood volume rose from 50% to 80%.
Xiao Han, who had added blood to himself, immediately went to fight against Lin Shuangcheng. Needless to say, the result was as expected, with Xiao Han’s explosive combo disposing of Lin Shuangcheng in one breath.
Lin Shuangcheng wanted to cough up blood on his computer screen!
—— bringing a healing secret book was too shameless!
Though, he did bring a secret book with a chaotic control effect, and instigated Xiao Han to kill Qin Mo, which was also quite shameless.
This was truly a case of ‘virtue is one foot tall, but the devil ten feet tall’.
Lin Shuangcheng guessed that Qin Mo would act as bait to drag them both down, so he brought the chaos control secret book to quickly dispose of Qin Mo, but he didn’t expect that Xiao Han would bring a healing secret book to prepare for the second wave of fights.
—— the Twin Stars were too difficult to defeat. Losing this match was not an injustice.
Turning back to see Song Changdong lower his head in shame, Lin Shuangcheng smiled, gently patting the young man’s hands. “Don’t pay too much attention to the results. It’s not your fault that we lost; it was because my calculations were not thorough enough.”
Song Changdong still looked very embarrassed. “But, my reaction was too slow…”
“If your reactions were as fast as Qin Mo, then wouldn’t Qin Mo’s long years of experience be wasted?” Lin Shuangcheng laughed. “You are still new, take your time to learn, and don’t stress yourself out too much.”
“Thank you, captain Lin,” Song Changdong nodded gratefully.
Captain Lin was very tolerant with him, and Song Changdong didn’t know how he was ever going to repay him.
His level was indeed incomparable to Qin Mo’s, especially in terms of his awareness during team battles. Still, he needs to learn many more things, so he couldn’t lose heart now.
“God Mo, why do you bully our family’s Xiao Song so? What if he doesn’t make meatballs for you any longer?” Lin Shuangcheng joked.
Qin Mo took the initiative to hug Xiao Song. “Good luck.”
Song Changdong flushed, nodding his head. “I will.”
Despite losing to the combination of Han Mo, Song Changdong’s heart was warm. Although they were not in the same team, Qin Mo cared for him, and even went to visit Lin Shuangcheng in the hospital when he was ill. After the match ended, they were still very good friends, which was the most precious kind of relationship.
What an amazing idea~! If you can’t beat the twin stars, you just have to let them fight
against each other~ 🤣🤣🤣 I’m pretty sure that from now on many will use that skill
against them lol
Thank you for the chapter! 💗💗💗
Agreed, just let them fighting each other, and watch it at the side lol 🤣
You’re welcome~ 💕
but i don’t think anyone can have a chaotic control secret book, so it’s not very possible for other team to use that skill against hanmo
Qin mo is still raising the next generation of players. Even his opponents are being lifted up with his rising tide.
