Chapter 1541 No Regrets

Already on the edge of the cliff with no way to retreat, Team Hundred Blossoms finally erupted with astonishing combat power in the team competition. The most noteworthy was Assassin player Zhou Guangyi. Having come to Hundred Blossoms from Tyranny, Zhou Guangyi played exceptionally well, almost pulling off a 1v2 victory. With such a beautiful start, the next two players didn't waste it. In the team competition, Team Hundred Blossoms finally secured a precious 2 points, finally stabilizing their position slightly on the edge of the cliff.

However, news from other matches left Hundred Blossoms' situation still very difficult.

Team 301, with an absolute lead of 5 to 0 entering the team competition, was now ahead of Hundred Blossoms by 2 points on the leaderboard. Winning the team competition next seemed like no problem at all; Team 301 would reap a full 10 points this time.

In the match between Thunderclap and Samsara, Thunderclap, having seized 2 points first in the individual competition, suffered a strong counterattack from Samsara. The score had now been tied at 2 to 3. But Thunderclap still led Team Hundred Blossoms by a significant 7 points. Even if they lost the team competition afterwards, Team Hundred Blossoms couldn't surpass them by defeating Tyranny.

Another match, which Hundred Blossoms had placed the most hope in, was even worse. Team Howling only led Hundred Blossoms by 3 points, and Hundred Blossoms certainly hoped that this gap wouldn't widen further, or even be directly surpassed by them. As a result, Happy, which had achieved a successful start in the first individual match, suffered an even more exaggerated rebound than Thunderclap. Team Howling won match after match, and the individual competition eventually ended with a score of 1 to 4. Happy 1, Howling 4.

As such, Happy led Hundred Blossoms by 7 points, and Thunderclap led Hundred Blossoms by 5 points. No matter what the final results of these two teams were, Hundred Blossoms couldn't surpass either. Their fate in this round was already predetermined halfway through. Ninth, it could only be ninth, with no possibility of entering the top eight. The final round would be their last chance, challenging Samsara away, the most difficult opportunity. And to get this chance, they still had to defeat Tyranny in the team competition in this round first.

Having managed to brilliantly recover 2 points in the team competition, receiving such unfavorable news from other arenas left Team Hundred Blossoms' morale floating up and down, with nowhere to settle.

"Now it's simple." Their captain, Yu Feng, relaxed instead. "There's only one road now, no other choices. Let us go all out and walk it! Don't leave yourselves any regrets."

Don't leave yourselves any regrets!

The members of Hundred Blossoms thought about these words, and gradually, their gazes became firm. They needed this victory even more, so they should be even more fearless on this arena. Who cares who the opponent is?

"Hundred Blossoms' situation is not good, this round, no matter how they play next, they are definitely ninth." Pan Lin and Li Yibo, who were doing television commentary, took the opportunity during the mid-game break to talk about the current situation.

"That's right, but in the last round, Hundred Blossoms still has a good chance. The prerequisite is that they win the team competition next," said Li Yibo.

"Yes, if Hundred Blossoms wins the team competition, they will have 237 points." Pan Lin looked at the leaderboard and started doing the math. "If Thunderclap loses the team competition to Samsara, they will only have 239 points, leading Hundred Blossoms by 2 points; if Team 301 defeats Seaside in the team competition and gets 10 points, then they will also have 239 points, leading Hundred Blossoms by 2 points; and there's also the match we're currently broadcasting, Howling versus Happy, in the team competition, if Howling wins, Happy will also only lead Hundred Blossoms by 2 points; if Happy wins, then Howling and Hundred Blossoms will have the same score. Hundred Blossoms' chances are still obvious."

"In the match we are currently broadcasting, Howling and Happy, no matter what, one team will be left behind, becoming the target for Hundred Blossoms to overtake," said Li Yibo.

"I believe they have already learned the scores from other arenas during the mid-game break and are very clear about the current situation," said Pan Lin.

"Both sides will bear a lot of pressure in this team competition. But if they lose, they will bear even greater pressure in the next round. Howling will face Tiny Herb in the last round, and Happy will face Team 301, neither of which are easy to deal with," said Li Yibo.

"Right now, Team Howling has chased 4 points in a row in the individual competition, their morale is high, and they also have the advantage of being at home. On the contrary, Happy, after a successful start, has lost 4 points in a row, and they urgently need to cheer up!" said Pan Lin.

"Yes, these two teams, although their situation is still much better than Team Hundred Blossoms, are also not far from the cliff. Whoever loses will take a few more steps towards the cliff, while Hundred Blossoms is struggling desperately to get in. Maybe suddenly, Hundred Blossoms comes in, and one of these teams goes out," said Li Yibo, while also using two fists to gesture on the edge of the table.

"Let's wait and see which team can stabilize their minds more at this time!" said Pan Lin.

"Yes, the team competition is about to begin," said Li Yibo.

"Let's return to the arena." As Pan Lin spoke, the camera switched from the commentary booth back to the arena. A high-angle shot simultaneously looked down on the two teams' player seats. The players of both teams were huddled together, obviously carrying out the deployment for the crucial battle.

On the arena, the referee walked to the edge of the competition stage and gestured for the two teams to prepare to go on stage. The large screen at the arena scrolled through the list of players from both sides who would participate in the team competition.

"Fuck!" Pan Lin suddenly exclaimed, covering his mouth in a hurry, but it was already too late. For an entire season, he had frequently walked on the edge of blurting out swear words. Pan Lin had worked hard to overcome the urge to swear time and time again. But unfortunately, in the second-to-last round of the regular season, Pan Lin's golden body was broken. He finally couldn't control himself and spat out a curse word, which instantly entered the ears of thousands of households. He seemed to already see his monthly bonus running away from his pocket.

"Happy is really too bold!" Li Yibo was really kind enough to know that Pan Lin's curse word was quite inappropriate, so he quickly spoke up to take over the conversation, trying to cover it up.

"Yeah..." Pan Lin was a little out of sorts for a moment because of the mistake.

"In such a crucial match, team competition, Ye Xiu continues to not play?" Li Yibo continued to stare in surprise at the close-up of the lineup.

Happy Team: Fang Rui, Su Mucheng, Tang Rou, Luo Ji, An Wenyi, Mo Fan.

Not only did Ye Xiu not play, but Luo Ji, a rookie who had only played a few rounds, was actually placed on the team competition list in such an important match.

"What on earth is Happy thinking!" Pan Lin was a little frantic.

"Did something really happen to Ye Xiu?" This time, Li Yibo couldn't help but guess, even though Ye Xiu had been continuing his record in the individual competition. However, by this round of the team competition, he had rested for a full four rounds. Not playing for four rounds, in general, no one would think it was a rotation. Most people would probably think that this player was eliminated from the main roster.

But how could Happy eliminate Ye Xiu?

"Did he suffer some kind of injury that prevents him from operating for long periods of time? Like Sun Zheping?" Pan Lin said. Sun Zheping was now in Team Heavenly Swords and only played in individual competitions. And it was no secret that he couldn't handle too much of a burden in matches because of an old hand injury. Ye Xiu playing only the individual competition for four rounds in a row really resembled Sun Zheping's situation in some ways!

Whether it was a rest or a deliberate deception, with this match being so crucial, it was really unreasonable for Ye Xiu not to play.

But no matter how surprised everyone was, the only ones who could take the stage for Happy were these six people. At this time, they and the six members of Howling were standing in two rows in the center of the arena, admiring the surprised expressions of the six members of Howling together. Obviously, no one would have expected that Ye Xiu would not be playing in this round, including Team Howling.

Shaking hands, exchanging greetings, the two sides walked towards their competition seats, and along the way, some of the Howling players suspiciously turned their heads to look around, as if Ye Xiu had disguised himself and mixed in with the six people to give them a surprise attack.

"Don't worry about what the opponent is doing, it doesn't matter to us. Man-to-man, as usual," Captain Tang Hao told everyone.

"Okay." The Howling players nodded, but their vice-captain, Liu Hao, was looking down at the arena, at Happy's player seat, at Ye Xiu.

Liu Hao was easily defeated by Ye Xiu in the individual competition, and he was very devastated. But he was really too good at hiding his feelings. After coming out of the competition seat, he had a look of not being discouraged by defeat on his face, apologizing to his teammates and cheering for the next teammate to take the stage. There was really nothing more anyone could say to him.

Only he knew that he was not as calm in his heart as he appeared on the surface.

He was going crazy. He really couldn't accept the fact that he was so easily defeated by Ye Xiu.

He wanted revenge, he wanted revenge like crazy.

The opportunity was right in front of him. The team competition, they would always meet in the team competition. And in the team competition, they, Howling, would use man-to-man marking. The target that Liu Hao was assigned to was really Ye Xiu.

Liu Hao had been gritting his teeth and waiting for this moment. As a result, Ye Xiu didn't play.

This match was so critical, so important, and Ye Xiu didn't plan to play in the team competition.

Liu Hao's energy, which had been stored for almost the entire first half, was immediately transformed into pent-up frustration.

He anxiously and impatiently wanted to defeat Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu didn't take him to heart at all. He still took the stage when he should have, and rested when he wanted to. Because of Liu Hao's existence, he had to come up and sit in the team competition? Unfortunately, Liu Hao didn't have the qualifications at all, and the person didn't have the idea at all.

Ye Xiu didn't play, so Liu Hao changed the target he was supposed to watch. So his opponent was: Luo Ji.

This was a natural replacement after Ye Xiu didn't play. Howling didn't mean to rearrange everyone. But Liu Hao was in a bad mood at this time, and he was immediately annoyed at the target he ultimately needed to watch and attack.

It's actually that rookie?

Liu Hao had a feeling of being looked down upon. Although he knew in his heart that this was not the case, that this was a natural replacement, he had a strong feeling of being underestimated that he couldn't shake off.

"Take them down!" Captain Tang Hao shouted.

"Okay, okay, okay!" The team members responded.

The match began.
