“Watch this!” Han Yanrou shouted, seizing the opportunity while Cloud Piercer’s skills were on cooldown to attack from an angle that was difficult to counter. This time, Ye Xiu didn’t say much, focusing on demonstrating the technique first.

With just two moves, Cloud Piercer was launched into the air. Xiao Yun was incredibly frustrated. He now realized what had happened. After all, the two Han Yanrous were clearly different in skill. As a professional player, he could make that judgment. Plus, Ye Xiu had suddenly started rambling non-stop. Xiao Yun finally understood that he’d been used as a practice dummy at the beginning, and now? He’d become a teaching tool for the other party’s lesson.

Xiao Yun anxiously tried to end the juggle as quickly as possible, but no matter how he twisted his view, he couldn’t find where the person below was.

Shadow Steps, more Shadow Steps!

Xiao Yun really hated this technique! But his skill was just a bit short of the other person's, so he couldn't break out of this situation. Thinking about how he was going to be toyed with in front of the entire team, he wanted to die. But this time, the other party wasn’t as ruthless as last time. Although he was still using Shadow Steps to hide, after attacking him a few times, he used a Circle Swing to grab him and throw him to the ground.

Xiao Yun quickly rolled to his feet, afraid of being chased down and beaten. But Han Yanrou didn't move at all, just stood there talking, clearly explaining the principles of how he was just abused to the person beside her.

A prop! He had really become a prop. Xiao Yun was furious and charged back for another battle. Han Yanrou easily deflected his attacks, offering commentary on the side, pointing out what was wrong here and what was wrong there. Xiao Yun went from being a prop to a negative example.

Unfortunately, all his anger didn’t unlock any hidden potential in Xiao Yun. His actions were still the same, but his eagerness to succeed only exposed more flaws.

"Xiao Yun, step down!" Wang Jiexi finally spoke. From an observer’s point of view, they had already realized that the two Han Yanrous from before were not the same person. Xiao Yun’s desire to win was quite strong at this point, but his emotions were completely out of control, and he was just making a series of rash attacks.

But Xiao Yun, in his agitation, was still quite focused, and actually didn't hear Wang Jiexi's words. Zhou Yebai, sitting next to him, nudged him for real: "Xiao Yun, the captain wants you to step down!"

Xiao Yun finally heard him this time, and after a moment of surprise, he stepped down with great frustration and went to the captain’s side. This was their custom. The captain would always say a few words at times like these.

"Did you hear what Ye Qiu said just now?" Wang Jiexi asked.

Xiao Yun was taken aback. He had heard it, he really had heard it. He even saw through the surface and realized that Ye Qiu was using him as a prop. But he knew that this was definitely not what the captain was referring to.

"I know what he said..." Xiao Yun tried to defend himself. Those theoretical concepts weren't any secret techniques. Not only professional players, but even experienced players knew these principles. But knowing was one thing, and being able to put them into practice was another.

"Since you didn't need to listen, why didn't you treat his words as trash talk?" Wang Jiexi said.

Xiao Yun was stunned again. Wang Jiexi didn't say anything more and told him to go to the side and reflect on his actions.

"Captain, let me go." At this moment, someone in Team Tiny Herb volunteered, it was Liu Xiaobai, who had lost once before. But this time, seeing that the other party wasn't using a scattered person, a profession that was really difficult to deal with, everyone was eager to try. Liu Xiaobai had lost once before, and he was a bit motivated by revenge.

"Let me!" As a result, Liang Fang, who had also been defeated once, came out to fight for a chance.

"Hey, hey!" As a result, their captain didn't answer, but Han Yanrou walked over. It was a female character, but spoke with a completely male voice, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

"You just want to spar, right? Go to the arena," Ye Xiu said.

"It seems like there's someone beside you who needs guidance too?" Wang Jiexi said.

"Yeah! But not as many as you guys," Ye Xiu said.

"Who is it?"

"A little sister from the Internet cafe," Ye Xiu said.

"..."

"I'll go log into my account," Ye Xiu said, leaving and handing Han Yanrou back to Tang Rou. Ye Xiu logged into Lord Grim and walked out of the earthen house. The eleven members of Team Tiny Herb were waiting outside, and they couldn't adapt to the development of the situation for a while.

"Do you think this can be considered a good story?" Lord Grim walked up, and Ye Xiu said.

"What kind of good story?" Wang Jiexi asked.

"Champion team practicing with an Internet cafe girl, that should make the headlines, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"The girl you're talking about is this Han Yanrou, right?" Wang Jiexi said.

"Yes."

"She's clearly a rookie. Do you think it's too much to just use professional players as training partners?" Wang Jiexi said.

"Heh, for her, this method is just right!" Ye Xiu said.

"But I don't see what we can gain from practicing with her," Wang Jiexi said.

"Those who can't pass her, aren't qualified to fight me," Ye Xiu said.

Wang Jiexi was speechless for a long time: "That qualification is quite easy to get."

"So you guys didn't lose out either. Unless you'd rather play hide-and-seek with me in the leveling area every day like now. You guys should be pretty busy, right? Do you have that much time?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Arena." Wang Jiexi's character, Fiery Flames, turned around and announced to the team.

"Are these people all experts?" Tang Rou's Han Yanrou walked to Lord Grim's side and asked.

"Yeah," Ye Xiu responded.

"How good are they?" Tang Rou asked.

"A little worse than me," Ye Xiu said.

A chorus of coughs immediately rang out.

Ye Xiu ignored them, just asked Tang Rou, "If you keep losing, will you cry?"

"What do you think?" Tang Rou asked back.

"In any case, be prepared," Ye Xiu said.

"I don't believe it, can it really be that exaggerated?" Tang Rou said.

"Yeah, that's the kind of spirit we need," Ye Xiu lit a cigarette.

The team returned to town and went to the arena.

"Can I use a scattered person?" Ye Xiu asked.

The Tiny Herb members were speechless. This question was hard to answer! If they said no, it would seem like they were afraid. But if they said yes! They really were afraid! It was difficult to deal with scattered people.

As a result, they heard the captain's voice: "What are you worried about? If you can't get over this hurdle mentally, go back to sleep now."

He couldn’t always say that winning or losing didn't matter. What Wang Jiexi wanted was for his team members to have the courage to face failure and find their shortcomings in failure. At this level, fighting a scattered person, especially Ye Qiu's Lord Grim, their chances were indeed slim. In this situation, it depended on who had the courage to face this failure and improve themselves.

The team members were silent. Regardless of whether they could handle it mentally or not, no one would choose to leave at this time.

"Who's first?" Wang Jiexi asked.

"Me!" Liu Xiaobai walked straight to Lord Grim.

"We agreed, you have to pass her first," Ye Xiu gestured for Tang Rou to go up.

"Quickly." Liu Xiaobai was full of confidence and took the initiative to create a 1v1 room. The others entered as spectators. After Ye Xiu entered, he just left a message and left again: Win and come find me next door, password 15951.

"How long can she last?" In the newly built room, Ye Xiu thought silently. He wasn't sitting with Tang Rou at this time, so he couldn't see the battle in front of him and could only make his own judgment.

For Tang Rou, Liu Xiaobai, this first opponent, was a huge disadvantage.

Tang Rou's main advantage was just her hand speed, but Liu Xiaobai was a figure in the professional circle known for his hand speed. Tang Rou's original advantage even became a disadvantage in front of Liu Xiaobai. As for experience, understanding, awareness, and judgment, there was no way to compare.

"40 seconds, maybe..." Ye Xiu judged a time. For him, this was also a form of practice. Using his experience, he directly simulated the match between the two in his mind, imagined the battle scenes that could occur, and made a final judgment from them.

43 seconds!

It wasn't much different from Ye Xiu's prediction. Liu Xiaobai immediately launched an aggressive attack. He had no pity for the girl, he was just impatient to waste time on this rookie. Surpassing Tang Rou's hand speed, he made Tang Rou feel helpless for the first time. She could still entangle with the Battle Mage, Cloud Piercer, in the opponent's formation for a while, but this Swordsman completely suppressed her from the beginning. She couldn't find a chance to counterattack, a complete victory...

With a whoosh, the people in the room immediately emptied out. Tang Rou was stunned, then quit as well. She clicked on the room next door and entered as a spectator, but Lord Grim was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you?" Tang Rou sent a message to Ye Xiu.

"Find me next door," Ye Xiu replied.

"I'm next door, I didn't see you," Tang Rou replied.

"Find me next door" is the room name..."

Tang Rou was speechless. She quit this room, searched for it, and sure enough, there was a room called "Find me next door". She entered the password and found only Lord Grim. The others were probably confused by the word game.

"How was it?" Ye Xiu asked Tang Rou how she felt.

"As expected, he's powerful," Tang Rou said.

"That opponent just happened to be a counter to you," Ye Xiu said.

"No matter what kind of opponent, defeating them is all that matters," Tang Rou said.

"You can do your best," Ye Xiu said.

"Definitely," Tang Rou said decisively.

As the two were chatting, someone from Tiny Herb finally came in. Then, probably because they had discovered something, the others also rushed in.

"Is it interesting..." Wang Jiexi clearly didn't appreciate Ye Xiu's "Find me next door" word game.

Everyone was consciously in spectator mode. Liu Xiaobai, who was ready to participate, hadn't entered the field for a long time. After a while, he entered as a spectator, puzzled and said, "What's going on? I can't participate."

"Pay attention to the participation conditions!" Ye Xiu said.

"I've already defeated her," Liu Xiaobai said.

"I'm talking about the system settings," Ye Xiu said.

"System settings?" Everyone was puzzled. Wang Jiexi was the first to realize: "A bet?"

"Of course it's a bet," Ye Xiu said.

"40 strong spider silks?" Wang Jiexi looked at the chips.

"I'm afraid you don't have high-level ones either." In fact, Ye Xiu currently had nothing. The items he had earned from the recent business had all been used up. This strong spider silk was still something he had earned extra from his first time as a substitute player. Opening a bet in the arena couldn't be a blank check, the stakes had to be mortgaged to the system.

"We don't have this either," Wang Jiexi said unhappily.

"Think of a way, if you don't have this, an equivalent exchange is also possible. Do you want me to give you a list?" Ye Xiu asked.
