Since the start of this team battle, the scores of Whisper team against most teams were 1:1—— winning at home and losing at away.
Whisper team was the most difficult to fight at home. The most critical reason was that the three umbrella players cooperated with the umbrella array, which would make many opponents difficult to move in the array. To deal with the Whisper team, today, Zhu Qingyue also personally made a demonstration for everyone—— to take the first hand and interrupt their cooperation as soon as possible.
In fact, Nie Yuzhu also knew this, but they failed to get the first hand in the game between Without Fire and Whisper. On the contrary, they let Whisper team control the rhythm, and Without Fire’s close combat players were kited by Whisper’s umbrella array, and finally failed to kill the escorts by a few seconds. Zhu Qingyue also learned a lesson from that game, snatched a teleportation secret book today, grabbed the opportunity with a time difference of one second, and let Xiao Han teleport to interrupt their rhythm.
He was also an auxiliary player. After playing with Chu Yan for such a long time in those years, Zhu Qingyue knew very well—— it would be very difficult for him to reconnect as long as the cooperation of the array in the team battle was interrupted. Mojue could take advantage of this opportunity to kill the escort.
Having to deal with the team formed by his senior brother, and at the same time inheriting the team of master Chu Yan’s array flow, Zhu Qingyue was actually not comfortable, but at the thought of Qin Mo and his teammates’ trust in him and the encouragement of his master, Zhu Qingyue simply let go of his distractions—— he was Mojue’s commander, and he only needed to consider how to win with Mojue.
With this belief, he was able to be decisive and resolute on the field.
The victory of the first game gave Mojue’s players great confidence——the worst thing to fight Whisper was at the home game, which had already been passed, so it was much easier to fight at away game. After all, the away game was in Mojue’s control, choosing the game mode and map, which naturally wouldn’t give Whisper team too much advantage.
Shen He, who was sitting on the bench watching the game, was actually very uncomfortable at this time. His fever had gone down after taking medicine in the afternoon, but now there were repeated signs that his forehead was burning badly and his whole body felt chilly, just like he felt last night. In order not to worry his teammates, Shen He didn’t dare to say it, but Li Muran still saw that the guy who muttered non-stop while watching the game suddenly quieted down and there must be something wrong. Li Muran reached out to held Shen He’s forehead, asking in low voice. “Do you have a fever again? Is it uncomfortable?”
“Shh!” Shen He quickly waved his hand. “I don’t feel uncomfortable! Don’t tell my master and the other, I will go back to the hotel to take medicine after the game.”
Li Muran frowned slightly and asked. “Really not uncomfortable?”
“En,” Shen He nodded vigorously. “Really, it’s really true!”
At this time, Qingyue and the others came over, and Shen He stood up. “It was a great fight, I will continue to cheer for the next game!”
Seeing Shen He pretending to chat easily with his teammates and encouraging Xiao Pei, who played for him, to say that he played very well, Li Muran suddenly felt that although Shen He was a bit insensitive, he was not heartless. As a Mojue’s player, he wanted to share both honour and disgrace with his teammates. As Qin Mo’s apprentice, knowing that he would not come to the scene would certainly attract the attention of reporters and cause trouble to his master, so even if he was ill and very uncomfortable, he would personally come to the scene to watch the game.
It seemed silly, but it was also the most straightforward and sincere aspect of his character.
Li Muran respected Shen He’s decision, so he didn’t say anything. He turned to bring him a glass of water and quietly put the antipyretic medicine in his palm and handed it to Shen He.
Shen He took it, smiled gratefully at him, and ate the medicine behind Qin Mo’s back.
The small movements of the two men in private did not attract the attention of their teammates, and also deliberately avoided the camera. Zhu Qingyue’s cold was not as serious as Shen He, but after the command of the first round, his voice became more hoarse, but he was still talking and arranging the tactics of the second round. Qin Mo thoughtfully handed him a glass of water, which was just caught by the camera.
“God Mo really cares about the players, and he took the initiative to hand Qingyue water.” Liang Ru was a little bit envious.
“Qin Mo has never put on airs in front of the team members.” Ye Chao replied. “Seeing that he takes the initiative to let Xiao Han and Qingyue act as the commander, we know that he is not the kind of dictator.”
Liang Ru immediately replied, “The second round is Mojue’s home game, and their winning chance is larger. Even if Whisper team has the advantage of secret book in away game, the terrain restriction is also a very big problem. From the performance of Qingyue in the first round, he won’t hold back even with Whisper team. Then in the second round, Ye Chao, what kind of map do you think he is most likely to choose? ”
Thinking for a moment, Ye Chao replied. “Maybe it’s the most difficult multi-obstacle map to play the umbrella array?”
Liang Ru nodded in agreement. “It makes sense. On obstacle maps, Xiao Han, Qin Mo, and Liu Hong of Mojue can all act alone and flexibly change the attack route and position. However, Whisper’s double umbrella players and the auxiliary player must be casting the skill together and let the array stack together so that the attack can be maximized. If they get separated in the obstacle map, Whisper’s umbrella array won’t be so powerful.”
After the intermission, the second round of the game officially started.
At Mojue’s home game, Zhu Qingyue didn’t hesitate to submit the game mode and map.
As both commentators expected, the map he chose was ‘Stonehenge’, which ranked the top three in the difficulty of obstacle maps, because the stone obstacles on this map would continue to move from time to time of the map refresh.
The boulder that had been moving would block the players’ vision from different angles, greatly hinder the way the players move forward, and make it more difficult for the teams to assemble.

In terms of lineup, Zhu Qingyue replaced Pei Yu and let he Beiguang play.
In fact, it was a good choice for Xiao Pei to use the sound wave to penetrate the obstacle to interfere with his opponent, but Xiao Pei was too crispy. Zhu Qingyue was worried that he couldn’t fight alone and would be killed by his opponent instead. However, He Beiguang had thick skin and could at least keep a treasure chest safely, so in this mode, Xiao He would be more stable than Xiao Pei.
The other four players were still Han, Mo, Hong and Yue who played in the last round of the game.
Seeing the mode, map and lineup, Wei Guanghua immediately felt the urge to vomit blood—— Zhu Qingyue was really good at deployment. Needless to say, Xiao Han and Qin Mo’s ability to kill alone. Liu Hong’s trap was combined with the obstacle map, so it was not so easy to kill her. He Beiguang was a blood cow. Zhu Qingyue also had a lot of life-saving skills, and the defense of both people was quite high.
In ‘Treasure Hunt’ mode, if they let Mojue’s five players take five treasure chests at the beginning, and then Qin Mo, Xiao Han or Liu Hong killed and snatched one of them, then Whisper could surrender directly.
“Captain Luo, our umbrella array can’t fight at all in this game. Why don’t we let the newcomers go up and practice?” Wei Guanghua asked in the team voice.
“Okay,” Luo Yuan agreed. “I’m not going, let Xiao Ji go.”
He understood Wei Guanghua’s meaning. If he wanted to change the player, Wei Guanghua didn’t need to ask him for advice. If he asked, it showed that he was the one who Wei Guanghua wanted to change.
As Whisper’s captain, it seemed a bit embarrassing to be replaced by the commander after losing the first round. But at this time, Luo Yuan was rather calm. It didn’t matter to him whether he played in the second round. Since he chose to let Wei Guanghua be the commander of Whisper team, he must believe in A-Hua and respect A-Hua’s decision. He couldn’t be that kind of mediocre captain who was jealous of talent.
The lineup list sent by Whisper team surprised the fans—— instead of the captain, they sent a new assassin named Ji Xiaoxing.
Wei Guanghua’s decision was understood by Ye Chao at a glance. He knew that Whisper couldn’t fight with their umbrella array, so he simply let the captain rest and change the player with a strong single output ability to try. After all, the treasure hunt mode was very fast, and it was very likely that small-scale PK such as 1V1 and 2V2 would be launched in the early stage. If they wanted to wait for everyone to meet and open the umbrella array slowly, it would be too late.
***
Chu Jianxin, who watched the game in front of the computer, couldn’t help but said: “The chance for Whisper to win Mojue in playing treasure hunt mode is less than 30%!”
Just as ten players from both sides scattered and respawned in the stone array, Sang Jun saw everyone’s respawn point from theGod’s perspective, and couldn’t help but smile slightly and replied. “Less than 10%.”
After looking at it carefully, Chu Jianxin could not help sighing. “They’re not very lucky today!”
The 30% chance of winning that he said just now was when the random respawn position was very good. For example, Whisper’s twins happened to be respawned nearby, and then they Mojue’s Liu Hong alone. If two people opened an umbrella array to fight Liu Hong together, Liu Hong’s trap could only limit his opponent’s melee, but could not limit his opponent’s use of an umbrella array to control her in the distance. As long as the twin brothers attacked together to kill Liu Hong, Whisper could start with one more treasure chest, and then meet Wei Guanghua and play a three-player team battle, which might slowly drag on to win.
However, the chance of twin brothers respawning together was too small!
At the beginning of the game, Sang Jun firmly said that Whisper’s winning chance was less than 10%, because the respawning position of Whisper team was very tragic.
In the Stonehenge map, there were more obstacles in the middle of the map than in the surrounding area. Lu Zeyan, the elder brother of Whisper double umbrella, respawned in the middle area with the most dense obstacles. Lu Boyu, the younger brother, respawned in the lower left corner of the map. Other people’s positions were also relatively scattered, so it was impossible to gather for the umbrella array.
On the other hand, Mojue didn’t need the cooperation of the whole team. Xiao Han’s walking alone in Stonehenge was a great threat to Whisper. The abilities of Qin Mo and Liu Hong 1V1 should not be underestimated. He Beiguang could not be killed, and Qingyue was strong in defense. After the map was loaded, the five players were in no hurry to assemble, but each was busy and went to find the treasure chest first.
In the twinkling of an eye, Mojue’s five players each found a nearby treasure chest.
Although Whisper was looking for the treasure chest at first. However, before Liu Zeyan could come out of the stone array with dense obstacles, he was facing a sharp blood light!
——He was the closest to Xiao Han’s respawn point, which was also the key to Chu Jianxin saying ‘Whisper wasn’t very lucky’.
With Xiao Han’s one-on-one strength, how many people could the whole league stop him?
Whisper players were a long-distance player who needed a good output environment to cast the array. If he fought with Xiao Han in this constantly moving stone array, the result would be expected.
With qinggong, Xiao Han’s speed was fast. Even if the stone array in front of him was constantly moving, he could move around flexibly, and fight while moving!
Lu Zeyan finally realised the horror of the world-class assassin—— the assassin in black followed him, with his bloody dagger, which made him almost unable to resist.
Soon, Lu Zeyan fell down, and Xiao Han calmly snatched away the treasure chest near him, then lurked in hiding, wandered around the map, and rushed to the Zhu Qingyue’s location nearby.
Zhu Qingyue’s respawn point was unlucky, just between Wei Guanghua and Lu Boyu.
After Wei and Lu took their treasure chest, they happened to meet Qingyue on the way to gather, and they immediately attacked. Zhu Qingyue opened an invincible array to save his life.
The invincible time of 5 seconds, coupled with the chaotic vision caused by the movement of the stone array, made Zhu Qingyue move flexibly and escape quickly, but Wei Guanghua soon caught up, and Whisper’s players gradually gathered towards Zhu Qingyue’s position. The audience from God’s perspective could find that there were the other side players in front, left and right of Qingyue, and he had to face the situation of being attacked on three sides!
The audience were all sweating for Zhu Qingyue!
In the twinkling of an eye, the three Whisper’s players appeared in Zhu Qingyue’s field of vision. Zhu Qingyue moved quickly and put his skills at the same time. He first used ‘Umbrella Spin’ to weaken Wei Guanghua, who had the strongest melee ability, and then opened a teleport array under his feet. Let himself move to the rear of the mass stone array, but what he did not expect was that Whisper’s new assassin was smart enough to go around and stop him. The moment he casted the skill and tried to add defense, the skill ‘Deadly Ice Silkworm’ interrupted him!
The audience was impressed by the newcomer’s performance, and Ye Chao could not help praising. “The consciousness of this new assassin is good, and he can predict the position after Qingyue’s teleportation, stealth and intercept in advance. It seems that it is not unreasonable for Wei Guanghua to let him play, and it is really a good seedling.”
“His hand speed is also quite fast.” Liang Ru added. “It will be very troublesome for Qingyue to be close to him. He can’t cast a large array…”
Due to the unexpected interception of the opponent’s assassin, Zhu Qingyue’s defensive array was forcibly interrupted, and the opponent’s long-range black umbrella player also came at this moment. They joined hands to quickly cripple Zhu Qingyue’s health. Seeing that there was only a trace of blood left in him, he almost died. At this moment, a golden light suddenly fell from the sky——it was He Beiguang’s shield!
Chu Yan, who was watching the game under the stage, could not help but smiled slightly, and said in his heart. ‘This little grand apprentice accepted by Qingyue, his reaction is not bad!’
He Beiguang detoured from the right to support him. The moment he saw Qingyue being besieged, he consciously ran over, and on the road he also saw god Han and god Mo rushing here.
Qingyue was saved by He Beiguang in his residual blood, which also became the turning point of this game.
Three Whisper’s players beat Zhu Qingyue but failed to kill him. Instead, Zhu Qingyue made use of his own position to make the other side into Mojue’s encirclement!
In the southeast corner of the map, far away from team battle’s spot, Liu Hong simply released a serial trap array to forcibly retain Whisper’s healer. She didn’t need to kill the other party, but only needed to trap him to prevent the healer from supporting in the team battle.
And just south of the map, Whisper’s three players who were led by Qingyue had to fight against Mojue’s four players.
Even if Zhu Qingyue had only a trace of blood left, Zhu Qingyue, who was protected by He Beiguang’s shield, could still put his skills to teach his opponent to conduct themselves.
He quickly jumped behind He Beiguang. Xiao He helped him absorb all the damage, and his casting would not be interrupted again. He decisively casted ‘White Umbrella Array’ and greatly increased Qin Mo and Xiao Han’ output, then he continued to use ‘Umbrella Spin’ skill to weaken the opposite long-range Lu Boyu!
Qin Mo and Xiao Han joined hands to kill a weakened crispy long-range, which was simply a matter of a few seconds.
Xiao Han already had two treasure chests, and he gave Lu Boyu’s head to Qin Mo. In this way, Mojue had seven treasure chests.
Although Wei Guanghua took advantage of the moment when He Beiguang’s shield ended, and stabbed Zhu Qingyue, who had killed in a second, and adjusted the proportion of the treasure chest to 4:6, but then, Whisper still failed to recover the decline. With He Beiguang’s protection, it was impossible for them to kill Han-Mo, while Liu Hong was fighting alone with the healer. The healer was not capable of killing the player, and Liu Hong kept him. They couldn’t kill each other, and their treasure chest wouldn’t change.
Soon the ten minute time was reached, Mojue won the game with 6:4 treasure chests.
Winning two rounds of the game, they successfully scored points!
Zhu Qingyue finally showed a smile on his lips and was excited. “We won!”
While Luo Yuan sat on the bench and watched his teammates lose two rounds of the game, he suddenly realised Zhu Qingyue’s weakness when playing with Pure Cleansing.
Before the start of the game, they also carefully prepared tactics in the team, trained seriously for a week, and were full of confidence in the game, but finally lost at 0:2…
Over the years, when Zhu Qingyue took Pure Cleansing team to fight everywhere, did he often experience such ups and downs?
It was not until this moment that Luo Yuan finally recognised his junior brother from the bottom of his heart.
He had to admit that his junior brother was much better than himself.
Zhu Qingyue’s command in today’s two rounds of games was calm and wonderful. Regardless of tactical awareness, on-the-spot response, overall layout, and strategy, Zhu Qingyue was far better than his senior brother.
Even if he worshiped Chu Yan first, and his talent was much higher than Zhu Qingyue…
However, time was a butcher’s knife, and Zhu Qingyue’s years of experience was not in vain. When he was busy taking care of his mother at home, Zhu Qingyue was working hard with Chu Yan to practice auxiliary play; When his mother died and he found a good job to live in peace, Zhu Qingyue was taking the Pure Cleansing team to crawl and roll in the league, and was abused into slag by various great gods; When he finally made up his mind to return to the league, Zhu Qingyue had been in the league for six years, and even experienced the Pure Cleansing team to be disbanded, and he chose Mojue that didn’t even have a full team at that time.
After such a long time and so many years of ups and downs, Zhu Qingyue had changed a long time ago.
He was no longer the timid, blushing and shy teenager who hid behind his master and called him ‘senior brother’.
And what qualification did he, this appeared out of nowhere ‘senior brother’, had to fight for the first assistant position with Zhu Qingyue, who had been in the league for six years?
There was no doubt that the first assistant of the Peerless Jianghu alliance would only be Zhu Qingyue.
Luo Yuan, he had fallen behind his junior brother by too much, too much…
There was no need for him to fight with his junior brother. What he should do most was to take this team created by himself to find the position of Whisper team in the league.
Although Whisper’s overall strength couldn’t compare with the first-class strong teams, he had A-Hua with excellent tactical thinking, Lu siblings with tacit cooperation, and Ji Xiaoxing, a newcomer with high potential—— He should feel lucky to meet so many good teammates. He should also believe that in the future, Xiao Ji would grow better, A-Hua’s tactical strength would be more comprehensive, his cooperation with the twin would be more tacit, and Whisper’s result would be better and better.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuan was relieved and his mood became relaxed.
When Mojue’s team members came over to shake hands, Luo Yuan took the initiative to put his arms around Zhu Qingyue and praised. “You are worthy of being our master’s apprentice, you are really good.”
Zhu Qingyue was a little embarrassed and whispered. “Senior brother, don’t be discouraged. As a newly formed team, Whisper’s record in this season is already very good, and you have tied so many teams… I believe that Whisper will have a better performance in the future, and our master will be proud of you.”
“I used to care about our master’s opinion, but now…” Lua Yuan laughed. “Actually, I don’t care much anymore.” He paused and whispered. “If an apprentice wants to be really strong, he must leave the protection of his master. You have done it, and I should do it too. In the future, I will be Whisper’s captain, and let master and you see my strength.”
Zhu Qingyue nodded earnestly and replied. “I’m looking forward to that day.”
Perhaps only by being the captain personally and feeling the weakness of failure could he understand Qingyue’s hard work over the years.
Zhu Qingyue was very happy that his senior brother could completely let go of his heart and concentrate on Whisper team. He could calmly let the commander change himself, respect and trust the recognised commander. In fact, his senior brother’s mind was not narrow-minded, but he just got into the corner before.
Zhu Qingyue believed that Luo Yuan would definitely become a good captain, and he would not repeat the same mistakes and let the Whisper team disband.
Although Chu Yan’s two apprentices would go their own way in the future, as a master, he should be very happy, right? After all, the apprentices had found the most suitable way for themselves…
Zhu Qingyue looked down the stage. The lights on the stage were too bright, but the crowd under the stage was dark. He could not see where Chu Yan was sitting, but he knew that Chu Yan must be sitting in the VIP auditorium with the best view and could clearly see the position of the two apprentices.
Seeing Zhu Qingyue looking for himself in the audience, Chu Yan smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Zhu Qingyue’s gaze just moved to this direction and saw a man sitting there with a smile and gentle eyes. Zhu Qingyue’s heart warmed and he smiled at him.
The master and apprentice looked at each other across the stage, and Zhu Qingyue left with his teammates.
Looking at each other with a smile, everything went without saying.
It’s good that Luo Yuan could let it go~~! His Whisper team is really strong. It would be a pity if he was too focused on ZQY…
Thank you for the chapter 💜💜💜
After this he will grow up 💕 and hopefully his team will be better in the future~
You’re welcome~ ❤
