Chapter 1109 A New Season's Playoff

The first to show an example was Lu Shilin, the cleric player of Team Zhuxian. This was a very good cleric player that Xiao Jie had discovered himself. After acquiring Team Zhuxian, he naturally stuffed him into the team, considering him to be his absolute confidant. According to his inner thoughts, he would have directly handed over the position of captain to Lu Shilin. Fortunately, Xiao Jie wasn't stupid and knew that he didn't bring over half the team. Just one person was still a bit weak. Even with him, the boss, as a backer, he might not be able to convince everyone.

So Lin Yi was still the captain for now. In addition, Xiao Jie specially invited Zhang Jian, the former captain of Team Zhuxian, to help. This transition of Team Zhuxian didn't cause any emotional unhappiness.

But at this moment, the boss Xiao Jie was quite unhappy. He thought his clever arrangement had no effect in the individual competition, making him very suspicious of the players' ability to execute. Otherwise, how could they have lost so badly?

Right now, if they wanted to advance to the finals, they had to win at least three points in the team competition. If they continued with the performance from the individual competition, Xiao Jie would be desperate. Fortunately, in the team competition, the true core players of Team Zhuxian in his mind could finally take the stage.

This was the true strength of Team Zhuxian. Just wait and see, Team Happy. Xiao Jie glanced at Team Happy with a proud and confident smile returning to his face.

The break between the individual and team competitions quickly passed. Team Zhuxian's players began to take the stage. The list of players was nothing new; it was the five from the individual competition plus Lu Shilin.

"Fight well and get your revenge on the spot!" Xiao Jie shouted to the team members.

"Heh, is that considered revenge? What will it be called if you're eliminated later?" The one who answered was Ye Xiu from Team Happy.

"As expected of a God, quite confident!" Xiao Jie said sarcastically, with no trace of the amiable exchange he had with Team Happy when he first arrived at the venue.

"It should be." Ye Xiu nodded in response to Xiao Jie's mockery.

"You will pay the price for your conceit." Xiao Jie sneered.

Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I thought you were the conceited one! You didn't give any instructions for the team competition, did you?"

Xiao Jie's face darkened. He didn't say too much for the team competition, but he still had to give a few instructions. He bought Team Zhuxian to enjoy the pleasure of strategizing.

"It's best if you don't. Otherwise, if the match ends too early, the Alliance will have to work overtime to discuss whether the new format is appropriate." Ye Xiu said.

"Hahahaha." Chen Guo laughed without any regard for her image. She had disliked Xiao Jie for a long time.

He always acted self-righteously. If they played well, it was because of his masterful planning. If they played poorly, it was the players' fault. This person really took himself seriously. If Ye Xiu didn't retort, Chen Guo would have rushed up to say a few words to him. Fortunately, Ye Xiu was faster and more eloquent than her. This kind of trash talk with reason and evidence was Ye Xiu's forte!

The Alliance wanted to test the new league in the Challenger League first, but forgot that the Challenger League had clear differences in strength. Didn't Team Excellent Era finish up in three or two strokes and go home for dinner? If Team Happy vs. Team Zhuxian also ended so neatly, what kind of basis would the Alliance get from the practice in the Challenger League? This was indeed a rather sharp question!

"Hold on, you must hold on a little longer!" Chen Guo added fuel to the fire and shouted a few more sentences.

"Hmph, I hope you can still laugh later." Xiao Jie replied.

"That's a must." Chen Guo said proudly. She, who always liked to worry and fear, was suddenly filled with incomparable confidence at this important moment. She firmly believed that Team Happy would never lose to a team like this, that wasn't professional!

On Team Happy's side, the players participating in the team competition also began to take the stage.

Since Team Happy only sent three players in the individual competition, there was still suspense as to which players would participate in the team competition at this time. The players who had been following the Challenger League all the way were mostly familiar with Team Happy, an eye-catching team. They were paying close attention to this question. Even the commentators on television were guessing the starting lineup for Team Happy's team competition along with the audience. Until the players from Team Happy began to take the stage, the suspense was revealed.

Walking in the front was Ye Xiu, not only a God-level player on Team Happy but also a master that no one in the entire Glory circle could surpass to this day. Following him was Sun Zheping, with the name of Flowers Blooming in the Sky, a person who was only one step away from the peak of Glory. After that, from the boos of the audience, it could be guessed who was taking the stage, Wei Chen, a guy who would use any means for victory and had no concept of a bottom line in his chest. After the boos, the audience suddenly started to welcome him with applause, because the next one to take the stage was Qiao Yifan, the player who laid a solid foundation for Team Happy's victory in the individual competition today. As players from the same team, with similar records in the individual competition, the treatment they received was completely polarized, which had to be said to be a strange thing.

After Qiao Yifan, the player who took the stage obviously had considerable popularity, attracting bursts of cheers. It was the player who had been attracting attention since Team Happy participated in this competition.

Tang Rou, not only had excellent skills, but also an outstanding appearance. After appearing in the offline competition, the attention she attracted was all-round. However, Chen Guo had received no less than various inquiries about Tang Rou these days. Even more resourceful guys directly approached Tang Rou, trying to take this player away.

These people seemed to know quite a bit about Team Happy's situation. They all felt that with Tang Rou's conditions, she would be willing to work for this team because she hadn't fully realized her value. For such a player with excellent qualities in all aspects, many teams were willing to pay a considerable price to get her, giving the people from the major clubs considerable confidence.

Unfortunately, they didn't fully understand Tang Rou's details. The generous treatment they thought could completely impress Tang Rou had no effect on her at all.

What did she want?

This was a question that the major clubs were deeply considering after contacting Tang Rou, but unfortunately, no one could figure it out. Then, they could only watch Tang Rou perform excellently in Team Happy time and time again, which made them very regretful. Such a blatant waste of talent was happening right in front of them, but they were powerless to save it, which was really too regrettable.

After Tang Rou, the next player to take the stage was Team Happy's cleric player, An Wenyi. Healing was originally a relatively lukewarm profession that wasn't eye-catching and wouldn't make people's blood boil. Coupled with the fact that his teammates were so dazzling, the atmosphere at the scene obviously cooled down a bit when An Wenyi took the stage. However, An Wenyi didn't care about this at all, because he never thought that he had ever had any performance that should win cheers. If someone screamed and welcomed him at this time, it would be a very strange thing, right?

As a result, when he came on stage, he saw that the cleric player from Team Zhuxian hadn't entered the competition booth yet. Instead, he was standing on the sidelines waiting for Team Happy's players. Ye Xiu, Sun Zheping, Wei Chen, Qiao Yifan, and Tang Rou walked past him one by one. He just maintained a smile and didn't pay too much attention until An Wenyi walked up. He took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello." Lu Shilin extended his right hand to him.

"Hello." An Wenyi naturally had to take it and shake it.

"This team competition will be a victory between the two of us." Lu Shilin then said this sentence. Then, he had already withdrawn his hand, smiled, and turned to leave.

An Wenyi was stunned, his hand still hanging in the air. The other party's hand was just casually touching him. As for the meaning of Lu Shilin's words, wouldn't it be difficult to detect from his attitude when shaking hands? He was implying the gap between the two sides' cleric levels, which would determine the victory of this match.

"What an arrogant guy!" Wei Chen exclaimed. Everyone on Team Happy heard Lu Shilin's provocation against An Wenyi.

"Heh, is this psychological warfare? Boring." An Wenyi shook his head.

"Not entirely." Ye Xiu came over and said, "Healing can indeed often become the turning point in the match. This is also a good tactical idea."

"I will work hard." An Wenyi said.

"Everyone will." Ye Xiu smiled.

"Then you guys should put in more effort, and it's best not to let me save you again." Wei Chen said lazily and drilled into his competition seat. In this team competition, he was playing as the sixth player.

Team Happy then entered the seats one after another, swiped their cards to log in to their characters, and after the referee reviewed and inspected them, the two teams' characters entered the battle room. With the final countdown, the two teams' characters were loaded into the match map. Team Happy vs. Team Zhuxian, deciding which team could enter the final battle of the Challenger League finals, officially began.

The two teams of players each spawned in the corners of the map, and then they rushed out. Both sides had studied the map. As for the opening tactics, they didn't start discussing them until they were on the field. They were prepared in advance, and then they made temporary adjustments based on the situation on the field.

Team Zhuxian, the four swordsmen surrounded Lu Shilin, maintained a complete formation and began to advance forward. As for Team Happy, they had already dispersed at the beginning, running around the map as if they had no tactical arrangement.

Of course, no one would believe that Team Happy was really messing around without any tactics. At this time, the broadcast commentator was looking at the map through God's perspective, observing the movements of each character of Team Happy to judge their intentions.

"Ghostblade and Little Cold Hands are relatively close to each other. The speed of their forward movement is not as fast as those three. Obviously, the task of attacking will not be given to them. As for the other three, Ye Xiu, Sun Zheping, one is Battle God and the other is First Berserker. I want to say that besides Han Wenqing, is there a more aggressive player in the Alliance than them? As for Tang Rou, although she is just a newbie, in my opinion, her aggressiveness is not inferior to the two seniors at all. In terms of style alone, I think that even in the Alliance, there is no more aggressive lineup of players than this…"
