Chapter 181 – Canglan VS Wind Colour (3)
Qin Mo came to the middle of the map and didn"t see Xiao Han. He immediately knew that the other person was in stealth.
He wasn"t in a hurry and summoned his death knight. The blood kin"s death knight would help the owner withstand some damage. Thanks to the existence of this pet, it was even more difficult to kill the summoner.
Xiao Han wasn"t stupid enough to fight Qin Mo in these circ.u.mstances. He sent a signal to Zhang Jueming and put a mark on the map to indicate Qin Mo"s position., Zhang Jueming immediately moved there and used G.o.d"s Seal to silence Qin Mo.
After seeing that Qin Mo was controlled by his teammate, Xiao Han immediately appeared behind the healer He Qun and started with the a.s.sa.s.sin"s strong control skill, Pain Blade!
The knife descended and He Qun was directly stunned. Then Xiao Han"s hands moved at their highest speed and continuously pressed the a.s.sa.s.sin"s skills, Death Mark, Back Stab, Soul Stab, Fatal Blow!
Blood splashed from the dagger in Xiao Han"s hand and the visual effect of the a.s.sa.s.sin"s fast attacks was gorgeous. On such a map, the killer hiding in the darkness suddenly appeared behind a person. This set of combos was truly frightening.
Many fans of the Canglan team excitedly filled the screen. [Xiao Han 6666!] [The little prince is so handsome!]
However, the healer of the Wind Colour team wasn"t a vegetarian.
He Qun had played in the compet.i.tion for many years and it was impossible for him to be killed in seconds. The moment when Xiao Han"s set of moves forced his blood volume to 50%, the control effect finally ended. He Qun immediately opened the sacrifice"s skill, Lava Shield!
A crimson halo appeared around the blood kin sacrifice like a burning flame.
The effect of Lava Shield was immunity to control and to rebound damage for three seconds. It was critical for rescuing the person in critical situations. Xiao Han"s speed was too fast and the result was that the last move Chain Strangulation was bounced back to him by the Lava Shield!
Xiao Han was stunned and immediately stopped but it was too late. Qin Mo"s control effect was over.
A blood spider suddenly appeared at Xiao Han"s feet to set him in place. Qin Mo summoned his pets quickly. He used the spider to fix Xiao Han and then called the blood snake to place three layers of blood loss.
Qin Mo was about to call the vampire bat which would reduce Xiao Han"s blood volume. Zhang Jueming saw this and immediately used Tidal Surge.
If this skill was released by Cheng Wei, it would be a very strong white magic attack skill. However, Zhang Jueming specialized in the auxiliary route and his way of adding points was different. The auxiliary route of Tidal Surge was that the tide flowed to the teammates, relieving all negative states and pulling the teammate to his side!
It was Zhang Jueming"s first-aid skill and the use was very straightforward.
Xiao Han was rescued in time by Old Zhang and was very grateful. He had been too careless and wanted to use big skills to kill the blood kin sacrifice. He ignored the other side"s rebound shield.
A blood kin sacrifice was very rare in the Miracle League and this was the first time Xiao Han fought one. His experience wasn"t enough. Xiao Han was somewhat depressed because this wave of attacks made him fall into a disadvantage.
Still, he quickly adjusted his state and hid behind a stone pillar in combat stealth.
***
Qin Mo hadn"t cooperated many times with He Qun in the arena. Today was the first time that Wind Colour had sent the blood cow combination.
Qin Mo might be in the limelight but he knew that old players like He Qun might be unknown but their ability to adapt in critical moments was far superior to his.
Just now, he had been a bit anxious and made a small mistake when walking. The result was that he was controlled by the other party"s auxiliary. Qin Mo thought this and immediately focused, staring sharply at the map to find an opportunity.
Xiao Han was obviously invisible. Where would he be hiding?
Qin Mo carefully looked around. There were many stone pillars in the grotto and the terrain was extremely complicated. It wasn"t easy to find a stealthed a.s.sa.s.sin. Yet Qin Mo instinctively sensed that Xiao Han was at the stone pillar behind him.
This map was Wind Colour"s home selection and Qin Mo was very familiar with it. He could go back and forth here with his eyes closed.
Xiao Han liked to go around for a sneak attack. One of the stone pillars behind Qin Mo was the thickest. If he looked back then his vision would be blocked. Thus, Xiao Han must be there.
Qin Mo no longer hesitated and decisively acted.
The audience saw the blood kin summoner on the screen suddenly turn around and directly summon the vampire bats! The overwhelming bats screamed and flew towards the back of the stone pillar, hitting Xiao Han who was in the stealth state!
Many viewers were shocked…
Despite not seeing the other person, Qin Mo suddenly turned around blindly and used a big move!
Yu Bing was somewhat speechless. "This… I didn"t expect Qin Mo to directly open a big move. It was a great risk and was likely to waste his big move. This was a big gamble but he fortunately won the bet."
Kou Hongyi laughed. "I suddenly found that today"s match is particularly magical. Not only are the two teams" uniforms like a couples outfit, the captains are each other"s strongest opponents. Now the two princes on both sides have a wonderful understanding of each other!"
The audience, "…"
It was really true!
Qin Mo and Xiao Han were said to have a good relationship. Xiao Han also disclosed in an interview that Qin Mo was his sparring partner. Their masters were so familiar with each other that the two small princes must"ve played together in private.
Therefore, Qin Mo knew a lot about Xiao Han.
That"s how he guessed Xiao Han"s position.
This wasn"t a blind move but a targeted one based on the understanding of the opponent.
The result proved it since Qin Mo successfully hit Xiao Han. He used the blood bats" big move to force Xiao Han"s blood volume to below 50%!
Xiao Han, who was hiding behind a pillar, was suddenly attacked by a group of bats. The expression on his face was very dazed.
Then he thought about it and soon understood that Qin Mo had pre-judged his position.
At this moment, Xiao Han couldn"t help admiring Qin Mo.
He stubbornly said that "Qin Mo is my sparring partner" and deliberately angered Qin Mo. However, he was actually very clear in his heart. Qin Mo"s level was much higher than his.
The best newcomer of the seventh season and Ling Xuefeng"s apprentice wasn"t a useless straw pillar. Qin Mo himself had a strong talent that allowed him to be recognized by the league"s judges.
After being abused by many great G.o.ds last season, Qin Mo grew very quickly. Xiao Han could sometimes win when they fought in the arena but that was because Qin Mo didn"t do his best and sometimes deliberately lost.
Today was an official match.
Their masters were sitting under the stage and the Wind Colour fans were at the scene. Countless people were watching on the TV. Qin Mo couldn"t joke around in the game.
Thus, today"s Qin Mo played the game seriously.
A serious Qin Mo was very strong. Xiao Han had to acknowledge not just the timing of the blood kin pets but also the ability to predict the opponent"s position. In the beginning, Qin Mo was accidentally controlled but he quickly adjusted his state and fought back.
Today"s Qin Mo actually had a very stable mental state. He was no longer the gla.s.s heart newcomer who was directly killed by Tan s.h.i.tian at the beginning of the last season.
He was worthy of being called the small prince of Wind Colour and his style of play also matched the Wind Colour"s fierce style.
***
There was almost no suspense in the next meeting.
Xiao Han accidentally had his big move reflected on him by the sacrifice"s shield, forcing him to fall into a disadvantage. Then in his stealth state, he was once again hit by Qin Mo"s big move while Qin Mo was still full of blood.
Qin Mo grasped the opportunity to used the blood spider and blood snake to pursue Xiao Han.
The level of pet control that he learned from Ling Xuefeng forced people to feel admiration. It felt like the pets were his own eyes as he accurately chased the opponent.
[Shepherd has killed Frost Descends!]
Once this news appeared, the Wind Colour fans cheered while the Canglan fans mourned.
[Xiao Han, go and bite him!] [Supporting Xiao Han"s real person PK!]
To everyone"s surprise, Xiao Han was very calm after being killed.
He sat in his seat until Uncle Zhang was killed and once the pair died, he typed on the public screen: [Your level is really very good.]
Qin Mo: [……]
The audience laughed.
There was a strange feeling when the cold prince of Canglan typed such a line.
Many netizens watching the live broadcast laughed and typed: [Xiao Han, you are really very good!] [Xiao Han is really slipping. His bad Chinese is exploding!] [You can"t beat Qin Mo in the game but you can crush Qin Mo"s IQ with Chinese!]
Qin Mo resisted a smile. He really wanted to fly into the soundproof room next door and force open Xiao Han"s head to see what was inside it.
However, Xiao Han"s next remark surprised everyone.
[But one day, I will overtake you.]
There were no grammatical errors in the sentence and the boy"s expression was extremely serious.
Qin Mo put away his smile as a wonderful feeling rose in his heart at these words. Perhaps this was the feeling that Ling Xuefeng felt when he met Li Cangyu. They were friends and opponents. They aimed to surpa.s.s each other and spurred each other on to improve.
After all, Xiao Han was a newcomer who just debuted this year. He was lacking experience and awareness compared to Qin Mo who had been abused by the great G.o.ds of the major teams for a whole year.
However, Xiao Han"s talent wasn"t worse than Qin Mo"s.
After a long time pa.s.sed and their masters retired, they would become the next generation successors of Wind Colour and Canglan. Perhaps the two former princes might really become the strongest opponents like their masters?
In fact, this was also very good.
There was an opponent who grow up with them since young. No matter how hard it was, they wouldn"t feel lonely. It was because they knew, there was another person like themselves who was silently working hard.
Qin Mo smiled and typed on the public chat: [Okay, I will wait for you to surpa.s.s me.]
His words made many fans dazed and they didn"t know what to say.
The compet.i.tion between the two small princes today was very fierce but there was a kind of… sweet feeling?

Chapter 182 – Canglan VS Wind Colour (4)
Xiao Han and Zhang Jueming exited and the second combination sent by Canglan was Shu Bai as many people expected. Xie Shurong relied on his speed to successfully defeat Qin Mo and He Qun.
However, Xie Shurong and Bai Xuan consumed a lot of skills in order to kill Qin Mo. By the time they sent away Qin Mo, both of them only had around 60% of blue left. This state wasn"t enough to take on the dark magician combination of the Wind Colour team.
The combination of Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan had been partners for a full four years. Since taking over as vice-captain of Wind Colour, Yan Ruiwen acted in a low-key manner and his style of play was particularly calm. As Ling Xuefeng"s right arm, his strength wasn"t much worse than Ling Xuefeng. He was usually responsible for Wind Colour"s internal affairs and the number of appearances in front of reporters was small. Thus, his popularity among netizens wasn"t high. He didn"t care about this.
Yan Ruiwen had a good temper and was very smart. He knew what to say and what should be hidden. In the past few years, the team had been well organized and his strength was steadily improving.
Li Cangyu hadn"t played against Yan Ruiwen but he watched the match between him and Ah Shu and could see that Yan Ruiwen truly was the most powerful black magician in the Miracle League.
His partner Guo Xuan also wasn"t weak. The understanding between the two of them was quite high.
Under the attack of the two black magicians, Xie Shurong and Bai Xuan failed to reverse the situation. Of course, this was expected by Li Cangyu. After all, Xiao Han"s disadvantage was too big for Ah Shu to easily reverse it.
***
In the third round, Li Cangyu took Gu Siming with him.
Xiao Gu hadn"t played many times on the arena. Today Li Cangyu took him because he wanted Gu Siming to play the protective role of a paladin. As long as Xiao Gu protected him, Li Cangyu could output without any worries.
At this time, Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan both had around 40% blood left. In order to quickly kill the two people, Li Cangyu caused a big explosion at the beginning of the game. They saw the elf summoner"s water, fire, thunder and wind spirits explode like a fierce beast towards the black magicians on the opposite side. It was Li Cangyu"s signature skill—Cataclysm!
The result was that Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan died in seconds from Li Cangyu"s big move!
Yan Ruiwen, "…"
Guo Xuan, "…"
The audience: [Cat G.o.d is bursting!] [Killing two people in seconds, our Cat G.o.d is handsome!] [According to Xiao Han"s description, Master, you are really very good!] [Very good +1]
The fans in the live broadcast were so excited that they were almost incoherent. This scene was really handsome.
However, Yan Ruiwen was still relatively calm. He was speechless for a moment before smiling slightly. He patted the dazed Guo Xuan, who was scratching his head and said, "Let"s go, Cat G.o.d isn"t happy playing with us. We will change with captain."
Guo Xuan was very confused and said while walking, "I hadn"t reacted yet. I was ready to hide behind a pillar when I was killed by his pets. How can he open Cataclysm as soon as we meet? Isn"t he fighting too hard?"
The two people arrived in front of Ling Xuefeng at this time. Yan Ruiwen laughed and said, "Captain Ling, send the next combination."
Ling Xuefeng nodded with a blank expression. "Feifan, Lin Ke, prepare to go out."
***
The audience were surprised when Wind Colour sent the third pair of partners because the IDs on the screen were "Out of the Ordinary" and "Mu Lin Sen", which belonged to Xu Feifan and Lin Ke respectively. The captain Ling Xuefeng didn"t play.
Li Cangyu was slightly surprised by this but he soon understood. Ling Xuefeng wanted to train the newcomer in Wind Colour? The young boy Lin Ke only debuted this season and didn"t have many chances to play against masters. Ling Xuefeng placed in the important guard position because he clearly wanted to train this newcomer.
Fans of Wind Colour didn"t see Captain Ling playing and were a bit puzzled. However, n.o.body questioned Captain Ling"s decision. They even applauded the players to encourage them.
In the commentators" room, Kou Hongyi saw the director aim the camera at the young boy and smiled. "Lin Ke is only 17 years old this year. It is the easiest age for an e-sports player to improve. Captain Ling placed him in the third round. The intention to hone the newcomer is obvious. Wind Colour is currently ranked first and it is understandable to use this game to train the newcomer."
Yu Bing continued, "Yes, sometimes it isn"t necessary to do your best in the regular season. In fact, based on Wind Colour"s current ranking, losing a point in today"s match won"t have much impact. However, chances for Lin Ke to play against someone like Cat G.o.d is rare. Captain Ling"s decision is really sensible."
"Sister Bing, do you think that Xu Feifan and Lin Ke have a good chance of winning against Cat G.o.d?"
"I predict it is less than 50%." Yu Bing declared.
"How come?" Kou Hongyi looked at her in a confused manner. "Cat G.o.d killed two people in one move and is still full of blood. However, everyone knows that no skills can be used after Cataclysm. For the next 10 seconds, Cat G.o.d has almost no skills available." Kou Hongyi paused and looked at Li Cangyu"s current blue, "Cataclysm also consumed nearly one-third of his blue. In this state, do you think his winning percentage is over 50% when the dark magician and blood kin summoner are full of blood?"
"I have faith in Cat G.o.d. You will see when you watch." Yu Bing didn"t give any more explanation. Kou Hongyi smiled and said, "Then let us wait and see. Can Cat G.o.d really overcome this adversity?"
***
Kou Hongyi"s a.n.a.lysis was something that many viewers were aware of. Li Cangyu sending away the Yan Guo combination was really handsome but now all his skills were cooling down and he had no pets by his side.
You know, a summoner without pets was like a swordsman without a sword. He could only be slaughtered on the field. As long as Xu Feifan and Lin Ke seized the opportunity to control him, he would experience death within seconds.
Of course, it was understandable why Cat G.o.d used Cataclysm. The disadvantage would increase if he kept being consumed by the double black magicians. Quickly sending away the Yan Guo combination was the most appropriate method.
Unfortunately, Cat G.o.d"s defense after his outbreak was very fragile. How he would handle it was naturally the focus of the audience.
In front of the TV, Cheng Wei had anxiously stood up, his big eyes staring at the screen as he wished to rush in and help Li Cangyu fight.
Tan s.h.i.tian didn"t say anything. He wasn"t optimistic about this arena game. Xie Shurong couldn"t move back the disadvantage caused by Xiao Han. Then Li Cangyu forcefully used a big move and had the disadvantage of "skills cooling down." In the final round of the game, it was likely that Canglan would lose as long as there were no accidents.
However, Canglan fans still had a glimmer of hope. They hoped that Li Cangyu could create a miracle. Didn"t this man often create miracles? He could reverse the overwhelming situation.
The Wind Colour fans and Canglan fans in front of the TV held their breaths, fearing that they would miss a shot.
***
In the soundproof room, LI Cangyu"s expression was exceptionally calm. His left hand pressed against the keyboard while his right hand firmly held the mouse. In Dark Grotto, the combination of Lin Ke and Xu Feifan soon appeared in his field of vision. His eyesight was excellent and even if the lightning was dim, he could see the opponent"s position with one glance.
Of course, Xu Feifan saw him at the same time.
Xu Feifan was the apprentice of Yuan Shaozhe, Ling Xuefeng"s cousin and the former vice-captain of Wind Colour. He was also instructed by Ling Xuefeng for a long time. His blood kin summoner could be called a combination of Yuan Shaozhe"s consumption tactics and Ling Xuefeng"s violent play. His outbreak was very strong but he could also delay things by skillfully summoning various pets to consume the opponents" resources.
It could be said that Xu Feifan"s role in the Wind Colour team was like Tiger Balm and his style of play was very flexible.
Over the years, the Wind Colour team used the double summoner as their core tactic and Xu Feifan had worked with Ling Xuefeng for many years. HIs awareness was much better than the "young Xu."
Li Cangyu had once fought with Xu Feifan but after a long period of time, the young man standing in front of him was no longer the newcomer of the past. Xu Feifan"s level and awareness wasn"t bad compared with first-cla.s.s players such as Cheng Wei and Xie Shurong.
This was why fans of Wind Colour felt that Xu Feifan could win against Old Cat without any pressure. After all, Cat G.o.d"s skills were on cooldown. A cat without pets was just a sick cat to be bullied.
However, it turned out that Li Cangyu wasn"t so easily killed!
Xu Feifan was very decisive. The moment they met, he released a black spider and made it bite Li Cangyu.
As long as the black spider set Li Cangyu in place, he would face the tragedy of being controlled by two outputs. Once the black spider arrived at Li Cangyu"s feet, the audience felt like a flower was in front of their eyes. Xu Feifan instantly lost all traces of the elf summoner in the white outfit!
Lin Ke was startled and immediately followed up with the dark magician Dark Fear control skill. He quickly read it and aimed at the position where Li Cangyu stood. Everyone saw a flash of light and Li Cangyu once again avoided it!
The two control skills were wasted and fans of Wind Colour were stunned. How did Li Cangyu suddenly learn teleportation? He also did it twice in a row?
It wasn"t until the slow-motion replay that everyone realized what happened.
It was Flying Feather Steps!
The fans of Canglan cheered excitedly and even Yu Bing was pleased.
She knew that Li Cangyu would never sit still!
“I was wrong just now!" Kou Hongyi also realized that he had made a serious mistake and rushed to remedy it. "Not all of Cat G.o.d"s skills are on cooldown. His pet summoning skills are on cool down but he still has his racial general skills. The elf"s Flying Feather Steps!"
Flying Feather Steps was a skill that all elves automatically mastered at birth. It increased their movement speed and this would be improved as the level increased. The league"s famous elves, such as archer Tan s.h.i.tian and hunter Jiang Xu, all had this skill.
However, people had never seen Tan s.h.i.tian move so fast. Kou Hongyi explained it. "Li Cangyu took the full agility route and he currently has the highest agility stat in the Miracle League! Due to the agility state, he moves the fastest when using Flying Feather Steps! I now understand why he didn"t hesitate to open Cataclysm in the second round. It is because even if all his skills are on cooldown and his defense is weak, the opponent won"t find it easy to kill him! If they want to kill him, they have to catch up with him!"
The audience, "…"
Yu Bing gave a rare smile when she heard this. "Ling Xuefeng chose Dark Grotto today to provide convenience to the Wind Colour members. He didn"t expect it to be used by the witty Li Cangyu. In such a map with a complex terrain, the opponent will find it really hard to catch up to Li Cangyu who is using Flying Feather Steps."
***
On the screen, Li Cangyu was like a white phantom as he used Flying Feather Steps to move through Dark Grotto, dazzling people. Xu Feifan couldn"t even see Li Cangyu, let alone control him.
Ling Xuefeng helplessly watched this scene from under the stage. His cat was clever and adaptable. He used Flying Feather Steps to travel like a fish in water through the complex grotto.
Li Cangyu"s positioning was first-cla.s.s in the world. Lin Ke couldn"t catch up with him and once Li Cangyu"s skills finished their cooldown, he would be even harder to fight.
Sure enough, it was as Ling Xuefeng expected. Not long afterwards, Lin Ke was dizzy from Li Cangyu"s movements and the initial advantage was gone. Li Cangyu calmly emerged from behind a stone pillar and called his water spirit to set Lin Ke in place.
His pet skills had finished cooling down and he followed up with his fire spirit. The fireb.a.l.l.s that appeared one after the other in Dark Grotto were like beautiful fireworks!
On the other side, Gu Siming was being chased by Xu Feifan.
Compared to the newcomer Lin Ke, Xu Feifan had a rich amount of compet.i.tion experience and his judgement of the situation was calmer. He gave up chasing the moment Li Cangyu escaped because he knew he couldn"t catch up with an elf using Flying Feather Steps. He wanted to kill Gu Siming but Xiao Gu was also slippery and took the opportunity to hide behind a pillar.
The four people played hide-and-seek in the grotto. Xu Feifan had to expend a lot of effort to kill Gu Siming!
[Old Cat has killed Mu Lin Sen!]
[Out of the Ordinary has killed As the Name Suggests!]
The two messages appeared one after the other and it became a 1v1 situation. Yet it was obvious that Li Cangyu"s state was better than Xu Feifan. He had easily killed Lin Ke while Xu Feifan had to consume a lot of skills to kill the thick-skinned paladin.
The result was that Li Cangyu relied on the thunder spirit"s big move to take Xu Feifan"s life.
The first arena game, the Canglan team won!
***
The outcome of this arena game made many viewers feel surprised. They didn"t suspect that despite the initial disadvantage, Li Cangyu could actually reverse the situation with his personal strength.
The expressions of the Wind Colour fans were dull.
Many fans watching on the Internet couldn"t help commenting: [Captain Ling, how can you let that cat act so impudently on our turf? Come out and kill him!] [Captain Ling, play in person and clean up the cat!] [Don"t train the newcomers okay! You will be thrown into the Pacific Ocean if you lose 3:0 at home!]
Before the game started, 70% of viewers guessed that Canglan would lose by 3:0.
Now many viewers started to worry. Would Wind Colour be the one who lost?
This was the charm of compet.i.tive games. In the end, no one knew what would happen on the field. Li Cangyu was the player most likely to create miracles and reverse the situation. This was the terrible thing about him.
After realizing this, many pa.s.sersby viewers became Li Cangyu"s fans. They discovered that this blunt, calm, loyal and responsible man had many shining points. He was so good. Even when facing a strong enemy like Ling Xuefeng, he could find a chance to overturn the situation in the face of adversity.
[This powerful cat is so handsome, how can people not like him?] [Is Cat G.o.d still missing leg pendants? I want to sign up!] [I will add a waist pendant!] [I want to be Cat G.o.d"s shovel. Cat G.o.d, marry me!]
The audience watching the live broadcast became more lively as the players on both sides started to prepare for the next game.
