He Ye Xiu was also very surprised at this time. He could very well understand why the players of Zhongcaotang were angrily accusing Lu Hanwen of being despicable. Because the blue glow surrounding Lu Hanwen's body wasn't a swordsman's skill. It was a priest's skill: Hope's Prayer.

The effect of this skill was to help the character recover mana. Everyone thought that these two professional-level swordsmen were dueling one-on-one, who would have thought that a priest would secretly give Lu Hanwen a Hope's Prayer? Having mana meant having skills; no mana was equivalent to having all skills sealed. Liu Xiaobie was shocked when he saw the blue light of Hope's Prayer suddenly appearing on Liuyun, but before he could react, Lu Hanwen had already begun to counterattack using skills. Both sides had very little health left, and with such an overwhelming advantage, Lu Hanwen finished off his opponent in a few moves. The players of Zhongcaotang only reacted at this point, and when they saw this guy gleefully shouting "Victory," they immediately started to curse.

But not only was the other party not ashamed, but he was still arguing so plausibly.

The people from Team Happy were all suspecting that this was Ye Xiu's bad influence, but the Zhongcaotang players didn't care about any of that, and were already furious at this point. They and Blue Brook Guild were already at odds, and seeing their own professional player taken down by the other side using such despicable means, how could they endure it? They all rushed forward, and at this time, even the guild leader couldn't stop them.

The onlookers, several great experts, had no intention of mediating, and quickly withdrew from the chaotic scene.

"If you weren't using a non-priest today, I'd really suspect that Hope's Prayer was yours," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Such random speculation is not in line with your usual rigorous style," Ye Xiu said.

"Thinking rigorously, could it be that you ordered some priest to cast it?" Zhang Xinjie asked.

"I think you cast it!" Ye Xiu said.

"I didn't," Zhang Xinjie replied with a straight face.

"If it was that kid who asked someone to cast it..." Lin Jingyan said, pausing for a moment, "I can't help but think of an old acquaintance."

"Old Wei, you mean?" Ye Xiu said.

"That's right!" Lin Jingyan said.

"Blue Rain's former captain?" Zhang Xinjie asked.

"Yes. That person..." Lin Jingyan paused again, as if considering what wording to use.

"Especially without limits, especially shameless, especially brazen," Ye Xiu said without any scruples.

"Heh heh..." Lin Jingyan just listened and felt a little awkward. Although he also thought this description was particularly accurate, Lin Jingyan couldn't bring himself to say such things about others behind their backs, so he stopped halfway through his sentence, because apart from this description, he couldn't think of any other suitable words.

"This kind of thing happening to him is definitely reliable," Ye Xiu said.

"Heh heh..." Lin Jingyan was still chuckling dryly.

Zhang Xinjie was slightly bewildered. He became a professional player in the fourth season, so he never had the chance to meet this former captain of Blue Rain, not even some of the legends. At this time, Blue Rain's two newcomers from the same batch as him completely overshadowed their predecessors. If it weren't for the fact that Team Tyranny had an equally old player, Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie might not have even heard of the name Wei Chen. Many young players now have no idea about many of the big figures from the early days of the league.

"Who were you introducing yourself to just now?" Wei Chen approached at this time, actually he had heard Ye Xiu say "Old Wei," that's why he came over to see.

"That kid from Blue Rain, he might be like you, using any means to win!" Ye Xiu said. Before, he hadn't noticed that Lu Hanwen would be like this, but thinking about it carefully, he hadn't had too many opportunities to encounter him before.

"Really? So promising?" Wei Chen said with surprised emotion, so saying he was praising this future star, it was more like he was praising his own special characteristics.

The others who originally wanted to mock Ye Xiu for corrupting Blue Rain's newcomer couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Completely ignoring what would happen between Zhongcaotang and Blue Brook Guild, Ye Xiu and the others dispersed with the people from Team Tyranny, everyone was busy with their own things, continuing to wait for the next Boss to refresh.

During this leisure time, Ye Xiu would also team up with others to run dungeons, on one hand, he could guide them in various ways, and on the other hand, he could also hoard some materials from the dungeons, just in case.

Zhang Xinjie and Lin Jingyan, unless there was a wild Boss, basically wouldn't spend time in the game. The two were now chatting about Lu Hanwen, the newly announced newcomer from Blue Rain.

"His strength is already quite strong, even in a team like Blue Rain, he is fully qualified to take on the main force," Lin Jingyan said, expressing his opinion.

"But Blue Rain already has Huang Shaotian's swordsman, another swordsman, I don't know what their plans are," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Just to be Huang Shaotian's substitute, it would be a bit too wasteful," Lin Jingyan said.

"That's for sure," Zhang Xinjie nodded.

The physical exertion of esports is not that great, and coupled with only one match per week, the matches are not dense. Players will not be rotated due to physical problems. Substitute players have significantly fewer opportunities to play in the team than the main players. Especially a substitute player for a core ace like Huang Shaotian, unless something happened to Huang Shaotian, it would be impossible to let the substitute take on such an important position.

"But thinking about it another way, it's not impossible for him to be Huang Shaotian's substitute, after all, he's still young!" Lin Jingyan suddenly said again.

"Mm," Zhang Xinjie also nodded, immediately understanding Lin Jingyan's meaning and expressing his approval.

It's actually hard to find a substitute for an ace player. Because this position is the core of the team's operation, and to ensure that the team doesn't have problems, it's best if this position doesn't have any problems. Therefore, when it is necessary to have a substitute, everyone hopes to have a substitute whose strength is as close to the ace as possible. But the opportunity for the ace player's substitute to play is so slim, how could any player with strength close to the ace be content with sitting on the bench for a whole season?

That's why Lin Jingyan said something like that.

Because Lu Hanwen's strength is very strong, but he is also such a young player. It's normal for young players to be substitutes, so Blue Rain might really have a perfect ace substitute that everyone dreams of but can't have.

"If it's just a substitute, that's fine," Zhang Xinjie said.

"Well, but in the individual or team arena, I think Blue Rain will definitely give him a chance to play," Lin Jingyan said, "Ace substitute, seventh player, um, looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like anything new."

The so-called ace substitute seventh player is a model that seems like a standard configuration because many teams adopt it.

The six players on the team in the team competition can basically be regarded as the team's main six. Individual competitions and team arena also require six players to participate, and they can overlap with the six players in the team competition, so most teams' main six players have to play individual or arena matches and team competitions.

But among them, because one of the main six players must be a healer class, such as a priest or guardian angel, this type of profession will not participate in individual or arena PK, which guarantees that there is a seventh person in a team who will definitely have a chance to play in each round of individual or arena competitions.

And many teams leave this opportunity to the ace player's substitute.

The ace's substitute is basically the strongest of the substitutes, and may even be close to the main player. Without the opportunity to play, such players will definitely not stay. Therefore, many teams give the other party a sense of existence with a stable chance to play in a single or arena match, and then stabilize their emotions with some appropriate adjustments in team matches. Over time, there is a saying of "ace substitute seventh player," which refers to this slightly special player.

However, with the development of Glory esports, there are more and more excellent players. Between the main and substitute players, it is difficult to see a clear gap in strength. Now more and more teams are pursuing tactical variety, often rotating nine, ten, or even more players. Sometimes the substitutes play better than the main players, and on the contrary, the substitutes become the main players, and the main players become the substitutes. However, this situation only happens to ordinary main players. The ace players of each team are indeed some great gods beyond the other players, and they cannot be replaced by any substitute. Therefore, sometimes, the ace substitute is not as good as other substitutes. Therefore, in the past two years, the identity of "ace substitute seventh player" has been blurred between special treatment and an awkward situation, and many teams have studied how to solve this problem. The "ace substitute seventh player" program may no longer be able to meet the current professional circle.

Regarding Lu Hanwen's positioning in Team Blue Rain, Lin Jingyan and Zhang Xinjie really talked a lot. Of course, they would pay more attention than Ye Xiu. Because a team aiming to win the championship cannot fail to take Team Blue Rain to heart. This is very likely to be an obstacle that must be overcome in the playoffs. Such a newcomer with strength and promise, only 14 years old, can be said to be a barrier that may block Team Tyranny for the next ten years, and cannot be taken lightly.

However, the two chatted based on their attention and concern for this issue. What will happen specifically depends on how Team Blue Rain arranges it after the new season starts.

On this day, Lu Hanwen indeed became the protagonist of the Glory circle, and many places were discussing him. And with the announcement of his identity, many people began to match the active swordsman Liuyun in Blue Brook Guild to him. Team Tyranny was the first to attach importance to him, but it will never be the last. Liu Xiaobie, who was despicably defeated by Lu Hanwen, didn't become as popular as the players and fans, but he quickly mentioned this newcomer from Team Blue Rain to his teammates, reminding everyone that Team Blue Rain in the new season may be a little different.
