The King's ReturnCh200 - Partner Competition Final (part I)

translator: Ciel

After returning to the hotel, Chu Jianxin let out a huge sigh. “I didn’t expect that we could make it to the finals. I keep feeling as though it’s unreal!” UIqAJW

Sang Jun turned around to glance at him, only to find that Chu Jianxin was sprawled spread-eagled across the bed.

When there were no outsiders around, captain Chu paid no attention to his image. One slipper was tossed aside, the other was just barely hanging from his foot, and the hem of his shirt had ridden up, revealing a section of that sun-kissed waist. Chu Jianxin squinted lazily, but had a smile curving his lips. “Before the partner competition started, my master said that the combination of our meat shield and assassin could only reach the top eight at most. It seems like master’s poisonous milk is very effective, directly poisoning us into the finals.”

He seemed to be in a good mood. Despite the fact that they would be facing the most difficult finals match in the evening, he was not worried in the slightest.

Sang Jun sat down beside him, his gaze mild. “Captain Chu, do you have an idea on how we should fight in tonight’s match?” 4kdPjR

“It’s better to leave matters that require thinking to the professionals,” Chu Jianxin replied easily. “Sangsang, you think about it, and tell me when you’re done.”

“You really know how to be an arm-flinging shopkeeper.” Sang Jun replied helplessly.

Although he had been opposed to the nickname of ‘Sangsang’, hearing Chu Jianxin repeat it in that laughing tone was still quite pleasant to Sang Jun’s ears.

Chu Jianxin yawned, before flashing him a cheeky smile. “Naturally, an unreliable master will raise an unreliable disciple.”

“Don’t put the blame on Cheng Wei,” Sang Jun sighed. “Isn’t captain Tan the one who has been teaching you?”

Chu Jianxin waved a hand. “Captain Tan teaches everyone including you.”

“So, you basically just don’t want to use your brain,” Sang Jun concluded.

Turning around, Chu Jianxin smiled. “Sangsang, don’t use this sort of tone to complain. If I don’t use my brain, you’ll get more opportunities to play.” 2rZ3nu

—— He had long been accustomed to this heartless person. Among all the captains in the alliance, only Chu Jianxin was so carefree. But there was no other option; he was the one who had been voluntarily eaten to death.

A complicated look flashed across Sang Jun’s eyes for just a moment, but he quickly recovered his calm. “We can’t use old tricks against the Twin Stars.”

Hearing this, Chu Jianxin immediately sat upright, the slipper on his foot falling to the floor. “What do you mean by ‘old tricks’?”

“The chaos control secret book ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’.” Picking up Chu Jianxin’s slipper, Sang Jun placed it with the other one neatly before continuing to explain. “After Lin Shuangcheng used it in the group stage, many players like to use this sort of routine against Twin Stars; ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’, ‘Grafting Flowers’ and allow Twin Stars to fight each other—— however, everyone has overlooked one point. Qin Mo’s tactical level has been constantly improving. If we repeat past practices, it will be deduced by him, and we may even fall into his trap. GN60u9

Chu Jianxin sighed. “Tactics sound really troublesome. What do you say we should do?”

Leaning in, Sang Jun whispered something in his ear. His eyes brightening, Chu Jianxin immediately leapt off the bed and made a beeline for his computer. “Let’s try that out then!”

***

In the neighbouring room, Qin Mo and Xiao Han were also discussing countermeasures for the finals. 4VkOQ9

Lin Shuangcheng revealed Sang Jun’s past in the beta server a year ago to Qin Mo. This was certainly not accidental; he was reminding Qin Mo to pay attention to this person.

Unfortunately, Qin Mo’s understanding of Sang Jun was extremely limited. He could guess Su Cheng’s tactics based on the playstyle of his master, Ye Chenxi, but Sang Jun was not anyone’s apprentice, and he was not the commander of Time’s games in Miracle. There was no way for Qin Mo to investigate.

Qin Mo had a strange premonition—— Sang Jun would definitely come up with an unexpected play in tonight’s game.

*** KuQXCm

The finals of the Peerless Jianghu’s first professional league’s partner competition started at 8:30pm under the watchful eyes of the audience.

This time, the guest commentator was another familiar face—— the captain of Huaxia club’s Time team, Tan Shitian, who was also the ‘captain Tan’ that Cheng Wei could not stop speaking about.

“It’s a great honour for us to have captain Tan on the scene today! Welcome, captain Tan!” Ye Chao greeted.

Unlike the blabbermouth Cheng Wei who was full of nonsense, Tan Shitian was amicable and greeted the camera generously. “Hello, everyone.” 0UlcYw

“The great god Cheng Wei has come to the Peerless Jianghu league twice as a guest commentator,” Ye Chao informed. “Does captain Tan know about this?”

“Of course,” Tan Shitian nodded. “He used the money earned to treat me to a chicken drumstick.”

Liang Ru was surprised. “Only a chicken drumstick? Surely that’s too stingy of god Wei!”

Tan Shitian smiled. “He said that he wanted to save some money to raise a few cats, which can give him a litter of kittens in the future, and wanted me to support his dreams.” uTtboC

Ye Chao blinked. “That… really is peculiar.”

The audience’s remarks were quite uncourteous. “Cheng Wei himself is a pet, why would he need to buy more?”

“Exactly, captain Tan, quickly call him home to eat dinner!”

“He can’t raise his own disciple well, and he only knows how to play with cats! Raising them, feeding them, and bathing them will all be captain Tan’s duty; feeling sorry for captain Tan!” iV8QPW

The live broadcast was lively for a while, before Ye Chao finally changed the topic. “By the way, captain Tan should know all four players in the finals today, yes?”

“En, we’ve all happened to meet,” Tan Shitian nodded gracefully. “Back when Qin Mo was still playing, he lost to our Time team.”

Qin Mo: “…”

Are you here to tear down the platform? Must you mention this black history? C81Igb

Ye Chao was quite interested in gossip. “Does captain Tan have any comments on Qin Mo as a player?”

Tan Shitian thought for a few moments. “I’ll use animals to describe them. Qin Mo is like a Persian cat of noble descent, a pure white cat, sleeping on the windowsill and despising all human beings. To put it in one word, he is—— proud.”

Ye Chao was startled. “Really?!”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Tan Shitian chuckled. “Although it now wears a cold and aloof skin, in essence, it is still that arrogant little cat. It should be easy to raise.” YuT8w6

Hlc Zb: “…”

“Ktfc, ktja jybea Wljb Ljc?” Oljcu Ee jrxfv, tfg fsfr klvf. “Po kf erf jclwjir jr wfajqtbgr, ktja vbfr mjqajlc Kjc atlcx lr relajyif?”

“Wljb Ljc lr j tsyglv mja klat yief fsfr jcv sfiibk oeg,” Kjc Vtlaljc werfv. “Pa ibbxr nfgs mbbi, yea lr jmaejiis nfgs milcus.” ABP5R2

Xiao Han touched his nose awkwardly, thinking to himself: Captain Tan’s rhetorics of figurative personification were actually quite good.

“Then, what about Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun?” Liang Ru asked curiously. “They were formerly players from Time team. Captain Tan must have brought them along for at least two years?”

Tan Shitian nodded. “En, they’re the seedlings I’ve been cultivating. If you use animals to describe them, Chu Jianxin would be an optimistic stray dog. As long as you throw a piece of meat at him, he will be very satisfied. As for Sang Jun, he would be a beautiful snake with gorgeous patterns on its body, like those poisonous varieties.”

Chu Jianxin: “…” Dlrm8e

Sang Jun: “…”

Enough, captain Tan! This is an esports competition, not a meeting at a zoo!

Tan Shitian’s imagery was very descriptive, so Liang Ru followed his topic accordingly. “Then, does captain Tan think that the combination of cat Han and cat Mo will win? Or will it be puppy Chu and snakelet Sang?”

The audience: “…” FOerDp

What the hell was puppy Chu? Really feeling heartache for captain Chu; his unreliable master has finally left, but now captain Tan came to blacken him again.

Tan Shitian finally set his joke aside. “I feel that both sides have a chance of winning.”

“So you were the one who taught Cheng Wei this phrase,” Ye Chao stated bluntly. “When he came as a guest commentator yesterday, every time someone asked him for an opinion, he would only say ‘both sides have a chance of winning’.”

“But this is indeed the case,” Tan Shitian admitted frankly. “Both sides have a chance of winning. I’m not being partial to anyone.” J8Emo2

His words were politically correct, so Liang Ru could only change the subject. “The match will begin soon, let us welcome the four players onto the stage!”

As the lights converged, the four players walked to the center of the stage. Qin Mo suddenly leaned in, whispering in Sang Jun’s ear, “Feelings Mistaken As None’, was that you?”

“What does captain Qin think?” Sang Jun replied calmly. ENy1rx

“Killing thirty experts alone, I admire your skills.” Qin Mo acknowledged.

Sang Jun smiled. “You teamed up with god Han to wipe out two teams from the Sword Song guild. I admire your skills as well.”

As it turns out, he knew everything that happened in the game. However, he did not shout it out like Xie Changming, instead concealing this knowledge deep within his heart.

This sort of person was very dangerous. YOLrS3

“The people I and Xiao Han met were ordinary players online,” Qin Mo corrected. “However, those you faced were the top experts at that time.”

Sang Jun lowered his voice. “What does captain Qin mean by bringing up matters of the past now?”

Moving away, Qin Mo gazed at him calmly. “I look forward to playing with you.”

Saying this, he stretched out his hand, and Sang Jun responded with his own for the customary handshake. Both sides then left for their own soundproof booths. pnQGZB

Chu Jianxin could no longer contain his curiosity once in the soundproof room. “What did you and Qin Mo whisper about?”

“Nothing much,” Sang Jun replied calmly. “Prepare for the match.”

Chu Jianxin didn’t bother asking anymore, instead logging into his account and focusing on debugging the keyboard.

The game began shortly. Once both sides had logged into the game room, they followed the referee’s instructions to start. QkeJ3C

Chu Jianxin rolled 88 points, higher than Qin Mo, giving Dynasty the priority to select the first map.

He submitted his choice very quickly—— Snake Cave.

This map was one of the few seven star difficulty maps in the game library. Its most distinctive feature was the many winding roads and multiple forks, as well as the poisonous snakes that lay dormant in the cave. As long as someone walked by, the snakes would be woken up and chase them relentlessly, constantly biting and stacking poison on the players. Moreover, once the snakes were killed, a second batch would be respawned at the birth point, and so on. The cycle was endless.

This sort of map with mobs was a great test for output players. When attacking the opponent, they had to simultaneously pay attention to the surrounding mobs, making it troublesome to fight. gUR2fD

Seeing this map, Qin Mo knew that Sang Jun’s masterpiece was coming—— terrain warfare.

Back then, Sang Jun killed thirty experts alone in the beta test with the help of the terrain. He first caused the thirty people to attack each other under the effect of the chaos control, before going in to harvest the heads once everyone was close to death. That particular trick of borrowing someone else’s strength to do the dirty work had been accomplished beautifully.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

If rumours were true, then his control of the terrain ought to be stronger than Qin Mo’s, and his layout for their home game would be difficult to crack.

How should they deal with this first game? XUr2fD

Since the little snakes would respawn after being killed, there was no need to spend too much time on the road. Qin Mo thought for a few moments, before speaking. “Perhaps we should play fast, and bring output secret books to kill Chu Jianxin.”

Xiao Han nodded in agreement. “No problem.”

***

Both sides loaded in the east and west of the Snake Cave map as soon as the game began. sN6YV7

Although there were many forks in the path, all roads were connected, and they would eventually lead to a large open space in the middle of the cave.

If Xiao Han and Qin Mo wanted to kill Chu Jianxin quickly, they couldn’t waste too much time or skills to kill the poisonous snakes along the way. Thankfully, they moved fast enough that the snakes were unable to bite them, and could only chase after them.

As Qin Mo and Xiao Han travelled through the cave, greater numbers of snakes were being woken up, all of them frantically chasing after the two. Similarly, Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun were also chased by numerous snakes. The moment both sides met in the centre of the cave, the snakes rushed towards the four like a tidal wave, causing the audiences’ scalps to tingle.

Realising that the situation was dire, Qin Mo immediately used a big move—— Skyward Sword! FSOnd2

White swordlight spread across the cave, instantly killing the snake mobs!

However, Sang Jun and Chu Jianxin chose this time to back away, avoiding Qin Mo’s large-scale attack.

Seeing this, Qin Mo knew that he had fallen into the trap—— Sang Jun had purposely not killed the snakes, pulling all the mobs over and borrowing Qin Mo’s hand to kill them.

Qin Mo was also unable to not use his big move, because his and Xiao Han’s blood volumes were not extremely high, and they did not have as much defense or protective skills as Chu Jianxin. Once bitten by the snakes, the blood loss would become severe, making them extremely vulnerable. eYdRCT

Sang Jun had realised this point, and so was able to effortlessly borrow Qin Mo’s hand to kill the mobs.

However, wasting a big move to clear the mobs did not have a large impact on Qin Mo. Seeing Chu Sang retreat to a corner of the cave, Qin Mo took a step forward, using the skill ‘Drifting Sword’ to pass through a wall, the sword lodging itself into Chu Jianxin’s chest.

Qin Mo’s prediction of their locations was quite accurate, and his attack cost Chu Jianxin quite a bit of blood.

Fortunately, Chu Jianxin had thick skin, and he used the skill ‘Only Me’ to reflect the damage—— because he knew that Xiao Han would definitely be behind Qin Mo. JquCXH

Sure enough, Xiao Han used his afterimages to catch up instantly, using the attack ‘Deadly Ice Silkworm’. As a result, it was reflected back on him by Chu Jianxin’s skill!

Since Chu Jianxin used a damage reflection skill, Han Mo immediately stopped their attack, turning to focus on Sang Jun.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

However, Sang Jun suddenly vanished, and Qin Mo was unable to hit him even with a group attack. It was unknown where the assassin went.

In order to prevent Sang Jun from sneaking around, Qin Mo retreated two steps, waiting back-to-back with Xiao Han for the opportunity. 5l0Urc

The 3-second damage reflection on Chu Jianxin finally ended, allowing Qin Mo to attack once again——

Shadows darted across the cave as the snow-white sword light enveloped Chu Jianxin. ‘Sword Horizon’, ‘Unrivalled Sword’; Qin Mo didn’t bother using control skills, instead using all his output skills onto Chu Jianxin.

Xiao Han immediately followed Qin Mo’s rhythm, teleporting before Chu Jianxin with ‘Thousand Lights Ghost Walk’ to attack him with five shadows, before following up with ‘Meteor’ and ‘Rainbow Through the Sun’!

Besieged by two people, Chu Jianxin used the defensive skill ‘Covering The Heavens’, wrapping a golden shield around himself to resist the damage. At the same time, he looked for opportunities to use ‘Splitting Mountains’ on Xiao Han. DUFlby

However, his output was really not enough. Furthermore, this skill also had a long cooldown time, leaving Xiao Han with over 70% of his blood volume.

Chu Jianxin’s blood volume continued to decline under the joint attack of Twin Stars. Even as a thick-skinned meat shield, he couldn’t handle this fierce firepower… 

Seeing this, Tan Shitian couldn’t help offering a comment. “Xiao Chu’s survivability is really strong. However, Han Mo’s joint decision to kill him is also correct, because if Xiao Chu isn’t dead, hitting Sang Jun will be useless. Chu Jianxin will always be able to protect Sang Jun from harm.”

“Indeed, the existence of a meat shield is more annoying than that of a healer,” Liang Ru nodded in agreement. “Many healing skills have a cast time, and can be interrupted. However, the protective skills of Kuangdao Gate are instantaneous. As long as Chu Jianxin still lives, wanting to bypass him to kill Sang Jun is impossible, as ‘Bloody Scent’, the skill which allows him to take damage for his team, has a very short cooldown. In addition, he has a defensive skill that he can use to put a shield on his teammates.” uW30O8

“Twin Stars have enough output, and killing Chu Jianxin shouldn’t be a problem,” Ye Chao concluded. “What I am more curious about is where Sang Jun went?”

Only now did the audience realise—— Sang Jun seemed to have vanished for a while now.

The director showed Sang Jun’s perspective in a small screen on the lower left corner of the broadcast. Looking at the video feed, the audience was surprised to see that he had actually gone around to the other side of the cave just now. Sang Jun was currently rushing back at his fastest speed, and what followed behind him was… a dense swarm of snakes!

Ye Chao almost swore out loud. “He vanished for half a day; as it turns out, he went to aggro the mobs!” Xt8cQO

Liang Ru coughed awkwardly. “Ah, the scene later will no doubt be extremely terrifying. Audience members, if you are afraid of snakes, we strongly recommend that you close your eyes first.”

After a while, Sang Jun turned round the corner, dragging the large swarm of snakes to the battle.

At this time, Chu Jianxin had 30,000 units of blood left, but since his original blood volume was 150,000 units, his blood bar still showed 20% remaining. Even after teaming up for so long, neither Qin Mo nor Xiao Han were able to kill him, showing off just how thick Chu Jianxin’s skin was.

However, regardless of how thick his skin was, there would come a time when his blood ran out. Xiao Han’s skills were almost off cooldown; as long as he hit another round of combos, Chu Jianxin would surely die. oFKtqi

At this critical moment, Sang Jun finally appeared. He dragged the group of snakes into the battlefield, before using the assassin’s stealth skill!

Because Sang Jun was now invisible, the group of snakes that had lost their target instantly went for the other three people!

“Not good,” Qin Mo realised. “Withdraw!”

The two of them hurried to retreat with qinggong, but just as they took off, they were intercepted by a barrier—— eba4Sk

The soft purple barrier formed a quadrilateral shape, trapping the snake mobs, Xiao Han, and Qin Mo in the same space. Chu Jianxin, who had been prepared to move the second Sang Jun appeared, immediately used Kuangdao Gate’s teleportation skill to fly towards Sang Jun, before activating the secret book they had agreed on beforehand.

Ye Chao was shocked. “This is the formation-type secret book ‘Besieged on All Sides’!”

“Formation-type secret book!” Liang Ru was very excited. “This is the first time someone has used a formation-type secret book in this league! It’s ‘Besieged on All Sides’ for sure!”

‘Besieged on All Sides’ was a secret book that created a four-sided shape within a specified range. Targets trapped within its space would lose 3% blood per second for 5 seconds. For the duration of the formation’s existence, targets in the space could not break the barrier, while targets outside the space could not deal damage to beings inside the barrier. 17lSB

The formation that isolated the battlefield was not as effective as the chaos control secret book ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’, and was not as good as group attack secret books. If people brought this formation-type secret book in the online game, they would certainly be scolded to death by their teammates.

However, at this very moment, Sang Jun used this skill to trap Qin Mo and Xiao Han together with the snakes, earning a large round of applause from the audience!

The damage dealt by this formation was not high, with a total of 15% blood loss, from 3% every second for 5 seconds. However, the key was the isolation effect of this formation, which was equivalent to creating an isolated space out of thin air. The existence of the formation prevented Sang Jun from attacking Han Mo, but it also forced Qin Mo and Xiao Han to fight the snakes trapped with them inside the formation!

Sang Jun had aggroed too many snakes, and Qin Mo was forced to use his highest hand speed to clean up the mobs. Xiao Han’s dagger also flashed rapidly, killing snakes left and right every time he swung, but Qin Mo’s big move was on cooldown, and he was unable to clear all the snakes away immediately. In the end, both people were still poisoned several times by the snakes. Mv5BIT

5 seconds soon passed. When the formation disappeared, Qin Mo still had 70% blood, but Xiao Han only had 45% left.

—— The time was now!

Sang Jun took out his own secret book. The audience saw seven bright stars appear around the assassin, who stepped into the eye of the seven-star array, surrounding him with a piercing bloody glow—— Seven Star Arch Formation! It was another new secret book!

Sang Jun, who hadn’t played at all in the early stage, finally made his move—— Ashura Claw, Golden Rainbow Ghost Claw, Spirit Snake Ghost Claw! 5o1w9R

The iron claws in the assassin’s hands attacked Thousand Miles Ice’s back relentlessly, and the damage bonus triggered by the formation secret book allowed Sang Jun’s three skills to deal a huge amount of damage.

Xiao Han’s blood volume was precariously low. He immediately teleported over to Chu Jianxin with ‘Golden Cicada Shell’, slamming the dagger in his hands down onto the meat shield—— Meteor, Deadly Ice Silkworm!

Chu Jianxin only had a little bit of blood left. At this time, Qin Mo turned around and threw his sword—— Unrivalled Sword!

At the critical moment, the both of them joined hands to take away Chu Jianxin’s head. 0jeD6z

However, Xiao Han’s blood volume had already been irreversibly crippled. Teleporting over, Sang Jun killed him with a single ‘Purgatory Claw’.

The match soon became a 1V1 with only Qin Mo and Sang Jun still standing. However, Qin Mo had been poisoned by the snakes, and had 70% of his blood left, while Sang Jun was uninjured. In order to kill Chu Jianxin, Qin Mo had used up a lot of his blue and skills, while Sang Jun only joined the battle halfway, and still had quite a lot of blue left.

In a battle between experts, such a wide disparity meant that the ending was already determined.

*** aAnlHL

The match ended shortly. Mojue’s Twin Stars had won every match all the way to the finals, but in the first game, lost to Dynasty’s Chu Sang. This result surprised both the audience and professional players alike.

Even Ye Chao was no exception. “I really didn’t expect this.”

Tan Shitian smiled. “I already said it earlier; Sang Jun is a poisonous snake. Don’t be fooled by the beautiful patterns on his body.” 

Besieged on All Sides’, ‘Seven Star Arch Formation’. These cheats that no one in the online game cared about were actually used by Sang Jun to great effect. st4lLi

In the early stages, many players used ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’ and ‘Grafting Flowers’ to deal with the BOSS that was Twin Stars, yet it had been completely abandoned by Sang Jun.

Qin Mo’s heart was filled with admiration upon exiting the game room—— a real tactical master had finally appeared among the ranks of the Peerless Jianghu alliance!

Unexpectedly, it was Dynasty’s vice-captain Sang Jun, a man who had been inconspicuous and almost non-existent before.

He made full use of the terrain, waking up the snakes to force out Qin Mo’s big move, then leaving the battle when Han Mo teamed up to kill Chu Jianxin, aggroing the second wave of snakes to besiege Han Mo. At the critical moment, he used ‘Besieged on All Sides’ to trap them with the snakes, and when they were finally freed, used the ‘Seven Star Arch Formation’ to boost his attack, killing Xiao Han in seconds. lcryfW

The ‘Seven Star Arch Formation’ doubled the attack power of the person who stood in the formation’s eye, and everyone standing in the formation was immune to control skills for the duration of the formation. Both ally and opponent alike could not be controlled, making this a ‘peaceful-type’ formation. The most important reason why Sang Jun selected this secret book was because he wanted to prevent Qin Mo from controlling him the moment he attacked.

Back then, he killed thirty experts alone in the beta test, solely by relying on the separation effect of the maze map.

Today, he chose the Snake Cave to make use of the snake mobs’ attack.

What pleased Qin Mo the most was that Sang Jun’s thinking was not stereotyped. He could change at any time; swamp poisoning was a static factor, but he could master a dynamic factor such as ‘snake mobs’. Z68dim

To have met another tactical expert made Qin Mo very happy.

In the current Peerless Jianghu alliance, Su Cheng inherited Ye Chenxi’s circuitous teleportation tactics; Nie Yuzhu was a master of tactics, but because Without Fire was a team with many melee players, his performance would be greatly restricted. Qiu Zongping was a specialised captain, and the Sky team relied heavily on the summoner’s pets to control the field, so their tactics would not change too much. Frost Moon’s Chen Jiang and He Yue were very strong in controlling the field in the early stages, but after their style was figured out, they would be easily targeted.

But it wasn’t the same for Dynasty.

Dynasty had Chu Jianxin in the front row, Lin Yao in the back row, with both Sang Jun and Wen Hua playing melee. Such a lineup gave Sang Jun plenty of room to play. kRSowu

Like today’s game, when he used the map mobs along with formations. This was something Qin Mo had not thought of until today.

Only when meeting a strong opponent will you be able to grow and improve.

Qin Mo took the initiative to type on the game channel. “Vice-captain Sang’s hand was truly amazing.”

“Captain Qin is being too polite,” Sang Jun replied. oBOWk4

“The next round is our home game,” Qin Mo continued.

Sang Jun sent a smiley emoji. “We will prepare well, and go all out.”

***

The professional players were chatting harmoniously in the competition room. tUq9mO

On the live broadcast screen, many viewers were excitedly sending comments. “This nickname of ‘snakelet Sang’ is wrong, he should be called ‘Snake King’.”

“Bring the snakes over to fight Twin Stars, then watch the show from outside the formation. This way of thinking is really poisonous… even more poisonous than ‘Tall Mountains Flowing Waters’!”

“I always thought that Sang Jun was a pure white lotus; I didn’t expect him to end up being a poisonous poppy flower :(”

“I’ve always felt sorry for captain Chu, but it turns out that everyone was wrong. Even though he doesn’t have a reliable master, he still has a reliable vice-captain.” 3P4RNc

Shen He, who had watched the match from the backstage lounge, scratched his head awkwardly. “So you can play on maps with mobs like this. It’s really eye-opening!”

Li Muran had been writing an analysis of the match on his laptop. Looking through his notes, he was surprised to find out that Qin Mo had used ‘Skyward Sword’ to kill the mobs in the beginning, placing it on cooldown, which made it unavailable for use when he was trapped in the formation.

Did Sang Jun calculate even this? The reason he didn’t kill the snakes in the beginning was to waste Qin Mo’s big move?

This person was truly terrifying. 6kL5AS

God Mo must be very happy to have met this sort of opponent, right? Otherwise, winning all the way would have no meaning.

Next, how would Sang Jun deal with god Mo’s layout?

Li Muran opened a new document, greatly anticipating the second game.

  1. Wow~ that was exciting! 🥵

    Now I can tell that the Dynasty Team will be the strongest opponent for the Mojue Team…

    I’m looking forward to Qin Mo‘s arrangements in the second match!

    Thank you for the chapter 💙💙💙

  2. That was a good match but twin stars really didn’t pick such interesting secret books. I think qin mo was just feeling him out.
