Chapter 116 – Opening of the Seventh Season
On the fourth day of the new year, Li Cangyu came to the training room with the team members and turned on the computer as the four teenagers lined up for their test.
As discussed yesterday with Bai Xuan, the four youngsters made rapid progress and successfully completed the basic training tasks of the first phase of consolidation and speed. They finally became entry level e-sports players.
The next step was the focus of the training: their ability in a match.
It was no good being strong if they couldn"t cooperate with their teammates.
Li Cangyu decided to take the four teenagers to the team battles in the arena to train them to cooperate with teammates and to follow the team"s commands.
Since they had to fight a team battle, everyone had to understand the rules of a team battle.
Li Cangyu first opened the human-machine training mode, taking the four teenagers to a simple city square team battle map. He placed marks on the map and explained carefully.
"The new system is actually playing a boss. Our ultimate goal is to destroy the white crystal in the centre of the map. Whoever destroys the crystal first will win. The white crystal is the boss. In order to get close to it, we must first destroy the surrounding defense towers, as well as the ice and fire phoenixes protecting it."
"Once the game starts, we will be wearing the most basic equipment. It will be difficult to rush to destroy the crystal. Therefore, everyone needs to go to the east, south, west or north wild areas. Fight the mobs, gain money and buy more powerful equipment."
"There are three types of wild monsters. One is an ordinary mob that will only drop money. The second is the blue mobs, which will restore your blue for a certain amount of time after killing them. The third one is the red mob, which will restore your blood for a certain amount of time after killing. It is equivalent to bringing your own milk dad."
"Five minutes after the battle starts, an ice dragon will appear on the field. Killing the ice dragon will increase the team"s economy by 10,000 coins and we can freely purchase equipment. 10 minutes after the start, the fire dragon will appear. Killing it will increase the entire team"s attack by 20%. The ice and fire dragons can"t be beaten alone. A group fight is needed. They are important resources that the two sides must compete for. At that time, you must obey the commander"s orders."
A few teenagers were dazed.
In the old system, there were no such things like blue mobs, red mobs, ice dragons and fire dragons. Once the two teams met, it would be a wave of fighting and then it was simple to win the crystals.
This new compet.i.tion system was obviously much more complicated but it was also more interesting.
Zhuo Hang opened his mouth. "This is similar to the compet.i.tive game LOL and Dota that used to be popular in the world and it is the most balanced group battle system. It fact, it is easy to understand that we must prepare before facing the boss white crystal. Kill mobs and the ice dragon to make money. Once there is enough money to buy good equipment, rush to the towers and destroy the crystal. If there isn"t enough confidence in the team"s attack power, you can kill the fire dragon and increase the whole team"s attack by 20%, making it easier to win the boss. The ice dragon gives money, the fire dragon gives attack. They are important resources that the two sides will compete over in the early stages, right?"
Li Cangyu heard this and couldn"t help asking, "Xiao Zhuo, is there anyone in your family who plays in compet.i.tions?"
"Yes." Zhuo Hang confirmed with a smile. "My family has several e-sports players."
He obviously didn"t want to elaborate. Li Cangyu didn"t ask again and looked at him with appreciation. "Xiao Zhuo summed it up well. The new system is actually a process of laying the groundwork to kill the boss. We must have enough patience, especially when killing the mobs in the early stages. Don"t worry, today we will practice the method to kill mobs while consuming the least amount of resources."
Fortunately, the major teams were also new to this system. They were standing on the same starting line and it was relatively fairer.
Li Cangyu was also in a state of learning while playing.
This new system meant more tactical ideas. If he couldn"t keep up with the rhythm of the league"s update, he would certainly be eliminated. Thus, he couldn"t relax for a moment.
***
That afternoon, Li Cangyu and his teammates familiarized themselves with the maps of the new compet.i.tion and found some important rules.
The ice dragon that gave money and the fire dragon that increased attack refreshed in fixed positions. There was usually a big pit around them as if to say, "I have dug a pit for you. If you aren"t afraid to die then kill me."
If the whole team jumped down such a big pit, it was very easy to be hit by the other side!
Therefore, the captain must consider the current situation before deciding to kill the dragons or not.
It was obviously that if they were too heated up and hit the dragon, the result would be destruction by the other team. This was once a popular phrase in the past: hitting a dragon will ruin your life!
Another example was that no matter what type of map, the blue mobs would only appear in the east and west wild areas, while the red mobs only appeared in the south and north. This would produce a series of b.u.t.terfly effects.
Cla.s.ses like magicians and healers, who were p.r.o.ne to consuming blue, would make sure to kill the blue mobs. Melee cla.s.ses like swordsmen and berserkers might be inclined to kill the red mobs to add more blood to themselves.
In the stealing of the wild mobs, the two sides were likely to meet alone or in teams of two or three. This would inevitably cause some small-scale fights.
The ability to act alone or in a team, both would be tested in the new system.
Only a team with a comprehensive strength would achieve the final victory.
This new system was complicated but the more Li Cangyu studied, the more excited he felt. He was looking forward to making a big impact in the seventh season!
***
Time pa.s.sed quickly. The 30 days of high-intensity training allowed the players of the Canglan team to become familiar with the new system. Now Li Cangyu could casually ask about the refresh times of various mobs and they would answer without making mistakes.
The teenagers also worked hard to memorize the special equipment in the arena.
In particular, the equipment they usually used were on the first few pages. The attack power, the crit rate, the hidden skill effects that could be triggered… all four teenagers remembered them clearly!
The small cats were so powerful that the old players like Zhang Jueming, Bai Xuan and Xie Shurong were embarra.s.sed to lag behind. Li Cangyu didn"t make them remember the equipment but the three people consciously memorized all types of equipment.
Everyone was excited and nervous as the opening of the seventh season got closer and closer.
Li Cangyu was calm was he trained during the day and watched new videos recorded by netizens at night. He researched tactics and chatted with Ling Xuefeng, seemingly very relaxed.
In fact, he was also nervous. After all, he hadn"t been in the Miracle League for a long time!
At the end of February, Li Cangyu received a call from the official Miracle committee. They asked him to take all players to the compet.i.tion area to register their data and complete the registration of players.
There were many teams in the Miracle second division since any teams who pa.s.sed through the league"s online a.s.sessment could join.
The regular season of the second division didn"t adopt the method of home and away match rotations. The organizing committee designated a main stadium and all matches would be conducted there.
For the seventh season, the main venue selected was in Guangzhou, which was very close to Changsha.
***
On the 27th of February, Li Cangyu said goodbye to Liu Chuan and took the high-speed rail to Guangzhou with his team members.
After checking in at the official hotel, Li Cangyu went to find the person in charge of the tournament committee. Then the person took everyone to the venue to register the data and confirm their ident.i.ties.
In addition to the Canglan team, there were many new teams registering, making the room very lively.
The staff at the front desk responsible for reception spoke politely, "h.e.l.lo, please enter your professional player ID, your real name, the ID number you want to register with. Confirm the information is correct and then submit it."
Li Cangyu quickly entered it on the computer next to him.
The female worker saw that the ID submitted was "Old Cat" and couldn"t help exclaiming with surprise, "Hey, you are Cat G.o.d!"
The remark drew the attention of the team next to them and a group of people immediately surrounded him. "Cat G.o.d, can I have a signature?" “Cat G.o.d, you came to play the second division. It feels like we will cry after being abused by you!" “The level of Cat G.o.d is enough to be a strategist for the World Compet.i.tion. To actually fight in the second division…"
Li Cangyu said with a smile, "There is no need to be so polite. I haven"t played for several years and am starting from scratch."
The players in the second division weren"t as good as the eight giants but they were still young people working hard for their dreams. Li Cangyu didn"t look down on them for being weak.
He readily signed a lot of signatures before returning to look at the registration of his teammates.
Uncle Zhang"s ID was Juemingzi, which was the ID he used in the first season. Many people might have no impression of this ID but he reactivated the name to prove himself.
Bai Xuan used the English version of his name like Li Cangyu. This time, he changed to the Chinese ID "White Fox."
Xie Shurong didn"t need to use "Tree" like he did in the United States. He changed it to the Chinese characters "Ashu."
For the four teenagers, Xiao Han registered the name "Frost Descends". Gu Siming still used the ID of "As the Name Suggests", Li Xiaojiang registered "Snail Crawling Slowly" and Zhuo Hang was "Great Navigator".
Once their IDs were registered, the teenagers showed obvious excitement.
The IDs were the symbol of a professional player and couldn"t be repeated. It was bound to the ID card and MIracle data. Even if they transferred, it couldn"t be changed. Once registered, it would usually accompany them for their entire career.
With the formal registration of their IDs, they finally became real professional players!
Li Cangyu used the name Old Cat (English) in the first season because the name of the team, FTD was also in English. Three years ago, the FTD team was disbanded and the information on Old Cat was completely erased from Miracle. Today, he led the Canglan team to return and changed back to the Chinese characters for "Old Cat", opening a new journey.
Looking back, he saw Bai Xuan"s moist eyes and knew what he was thinking. Li Cangyu patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "We are back."
Bai Xuan smiled and spoke emotionally, "Yes… the name has changed, the team has changed and the teammates have changed… We are back."
Li Cangyu declared calmly, "This time I will change the ending."
He was no longer the person who would lead his team away or helplessly watch the team disband.
This time, he would absolutely change the ending. Li Cangyu firmly believed it.

Chapter 117 – Pre-Match Arrangement
Once the registration was over, Li Cangyu looked up and found that this year"s event schedule was being shown on the electronic screen. The second division was from March 1st to May 1st, the champion team would get the opportunity to advance to the first division.
On May 10th, the Miracle"s first division would officially open. The regular season would continue to the end of September, where there would be a week off that coincided with the World Carnival. Once the Carnival was over, it would be followed by the first division"s fierce playoffs and then the First World Compet.i.tion would open in late November.
In the middle of these events, there were also the "King"s Cup" free challenge, the live platform team tournament, the T.G.A. Grand Prix and other events. In general, the eight giant teams of the first division had no time to partic.i.p.ate in these events. The teams from the second division were free to register for them.
Li Cangyu"s eyes quickly swept through this year"s schedule. Obviously, this year"s schedule had been adjusted according to the World Compet.i.tion. The events during the World Compet.i.tion had been cancelled, making a live broadcast convenient.
The other team members saw the captain watched the event arrangement and looked up at the big screen. Xie Shurong couldn"t help asking Bai Xuan, "The King"s Cup free challenge, what is that? Why haven"t I heard of it before?"
Bai Xuan explained, “It is an event that only started in China last year and can involve both professional players or private masters. There are three modes of 1v1, 3v3 and 6v6. The registration threshold is very low and it has the highest number of partic.i.p.ants."
Xie Shurong smiled. "It turned out to be like this."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to put an arm around Vice-Captain Bai"s shoulders. Bai Xuan didn"t like close contact with people and unceremoniously removed the hand before turning to find Cat G.o.d. Xie Shurong looked at Bai Xuan"s back with a depressed expression.
“Shall we go back to the hotel first?" Bai Xuan asked.
"We will go to dinner first. There is the opening ceremony in the evening so we should watch it with a full stomach." Li Cangyu waved. "Everyone gather!"
The four teenagers looked up at their captain"s call and immediately ran back.
They headed to a nearby restaurant and sat in a big private room. Xie Shurong sat next to Bai Xuan and attempted to continue the conversation. "Vice-Captain, the King"s Cup challenge, it is in the middle of the regular season"s holiday. The reward for the single player bonus is high. Should I sign up for it?"
Bai Xuan said, "It is a national event and many masters will register for it. Professional players who are famous generally won"t partic.i.p.ate or they will be yelled at by the netizens."
Li Xiaojiang suddenly whispered, "I-I took part last year."
Bai Xuan looked over at him curiously, "Is that right? Did you get a trophy?"
The shy teenager had red cheeks but his eyes were extraordinarily bright. "I got second place."
Bai Xuan smiled and touched his head. "Amazing."
Zhuo Hang suddenly cried out, "I was the champion! Then the slow black magician who lost to me last year was you?"
Li Xiaojiang, "…"
Li Cangyu asked with interested, "Then did you meet before?"
Zhuo Hang smiled and said, "I was bored last year and joined the King"s Cup solo event. I made it all the way through and took the championship in one breath. Cat G.o.d, don"t you think I"m great?"
Li Cangyu was too lazy to praise him. "The point is that you fought against Xiao Li?"
"Oh!" Zhuo Hang looked at Li Xiaojiang. "In the finals, I met a slow black magician. His style was very similar to Li Xiaojiang. In the end, I won right? Li Xiaojiang?"
"…" Li Xiaojiang"s head hung lower.
Zhuo Hang was feeling proud that he won against Li Xiaojiang when he heard Li Cangyu suddenly say, "That"s right, in tomorrow"s game, you will form a combination with Li Xiaojiang for the first arena stage."
Zhuo Hang was shocked, "Ah?"
Li Xiaojiang also looked up with surprise. "I, I will partner with Zhuo Hang?"
"Yes." Li Cangyu told them seriously, "The two of you are fast and slow, this combination will make the opponents very confused. It hasn"t be used yet in a match so we can try it."
Zhuo Hang, "…"
He really didn"t want to partner with this slow snail!
Bai Xuan said with a smile, "It is a good idea. In any case, this is the beginning of the new system and we have many new players. We can try all types of lineups."
"Yes, I got the schedule for the second division. Take a look at it." Li Cangyu handed the file to Bai Xuan next to him and continued, "Our first opponent is the Dream team. This is a medium sized team in the second division. The game time is 3 o"clock tomorrow afternoon. The pairs arena stage will be played by Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Li. The remaining six people will partic.i.p.ate in the team battle. It is the first match. You don"t need to feel pressure but you should play seriously. We are still becoming familiar with the new compet.i.tion system."
The event schedule was quickly circulated while they listened to the captain"s arrangements.
There were originally 16 teams in the second division. Li Cangyu led the Canglan team to return and another new team was formed, making a total of 18 teams.
Due to time constraints, the second division wouldn"t play the home and away games of the regular season. Instead, it would be played in three rounds.
For example, they would play three matches tomorrow against the Dream team. The two sides would each chose a map for one match. If the first two rounds were tied, they would enter the third tiebreaker round. The third round would have the system randomly pick a map.
The arena was a 2v2 partner showdown and winning one game would give 2 points.
The team battle was a 6v6 compet.i.tion over the crystal, winning a game would give 5 points.
While waiting for the food to be served, Li Cangyu quickly arranged the lineup for tomorrow.
As for tactics, there was no need to rack their brains for special tactics against a medium level team in the second division. Tomorrow they would first look and adapt to the new compet.i.tion system.
Zhuo Hang seemed unhappy with tomorrow"s arrangements while Li Xiaojiang was a bit nervous about being put in the pairs arena. Li Cangyu looked at them but didn"t say much. The psychological quality of the youngsters wasn"t enough and they needed to be grinded.
***
The evening of the same day, the opening ceremony of the Miracle second division began on time at the Guangzhou e-sports venue.
It was just a sub-compet.i.tion but there were still many people who came to see the opening ceremony. The seats at the venue were full, showing how popular the game MIracle was.
The opening ceremony also brought in a number of well-known singers to cover the Miracle theme songs. The audience was very excited, giving off deafening screams and applause from time to time.
Li Cangyu didn"t have much interest in the show. He sat in the audience and texted Ling Xuefeng.
[I"m going to play on the field tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to me?]
[Do well.] Ling Xuefeng replied in a simple manner.
[Only these two words? Are you my boyfriend?] Li Cangyu suddenly wanted to tease this serious man.
[I"ll watch the live broadcast of the match.] Ling Xuefeng replied.
[Is there anything else?]
[I miss you.]
Li Cangyu was satisfied.
He looked at the simple "I miss you" and his heartbeat accelerated. To be honest, he wanted to see Ling Xuefeng. He sent text messages every day but it was a big gap from meeting, hugging and kissing!
Fortunately, there was a great chance of the Canglan team qualifying. As long as they successfully advanced to the first division, the number of times he could meet Ling Xuefeng would naturally increase.
[Are you ready for tomorrow"s game?] Ling Xuefeng asked in a concerned manner.
[Pretty much. It is just looking at the system. There is no need to put pressure on everyone in the first game.] Li Cangyu replied.
Suddenly, Bai Xuan"s doubtful voice was heard from the side. "Who are you texting with? You are smiling so happily?"
Li Cangyu calmly put away his phone and said, "It is my sister."
Bai Xuan didn"t doubt it and continued to watch the opening ceremony.
Li Cangyu took out his phone again and saw the photo of the two of them on the screen. He couldn"t help smiling. Texting without his teammates knowing, it had feeling of "cheating." If other people knew he was with Ling Xuefeng, wouldn"t they be so scared that their eyes would bug out?
***
That night, they returned and the four old players bathed and slept calmly, recharging themselves.
The four teenagers were full of energy and couldn"t sleep.
Li Xiaojiang and the enthusiastic Xiao Gu were arranged in one room. Li Xiaojiang sat on the sofa and carefully thought about it before deciding to talk to Zhuo Hang. He knocked on the door next door. Xiao Han was taking a shower while Zhuo Hang had finished washing up. He was wearing pyjamas and playing mobile games. He saw Li Xiaojiang standing up the door and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for me?"
Li Xiaojiang nodded. "Yes… Tomorrow, tomorrow we will fight together in the arena. My, my speed might not follow, I can"t keep up with you… Don"t worry, taking care of me… go on your own… go ahead and fight."
Zhuo Hang heard him finish and thought, "I already didn"t intent to care about you, small snail."
"Yes, I know. Then go back to sleep." Zhuo Hang patted Li Xiaojiang on the shoulder. "Good night."
Li Xiaojiang originally wanted to talk to him more. The result was that he was blocked by a good night. He was stunned for a moment before saying with a red face, "Good, good night."
Then he walked away silently with his head down.
Zhuo Hang ignored him, closing the door and returning to the room to play games. Xiao Han came out after taking a shower and asked in a confused manner, "Did Xiao Li come to see you? I thought I heard his voice."
Zhuo Hang casually made a sound and continued to play the mobile game.
Xiao Han was too lazy to talk to him. He lay in bed and turned on his phone, logging into his Q.
Shepherd: [Are you going to play tomorrow?]
Qin Mo had sent him a message. He and Qin Mo were poor sheeps that had been put together by their masters. Some time ago, they played together in the pairs arena and would now occasionally chat on Q.
Xiao Han replied: [Yes, my master is there. I am sure I will win.]
Qin Mo: [Don"t you have a lot of confidence in Cat G.o.d?]
Xiao Han: [Don"t you have a lot of faith in your master?]
Qin Mo: [Of course! My master can definitely sweep up the league.]
Xiao Han: [My master can sweep up the world.]
Qin Mo: [Don"t talk. If my master and your master PK, my master will win.]
Xiao Han: [Who said that? Obviously my master will win.]
The two people started a pointless debate on whose master was more powerful. They weren"t aware that their masters had long hugged and kissed. They even set up a couples photo as the background for their phone.

Chapter 118 – The First Arena
The next day at 8:30, the second division of the Miracle League finally began.
The Canglan team"s match was arranged for 3 p.m. and Li Cangyu let everyone rest. He took them to the stadium once they all woke up.
The official commentators for the second division were still a man and a woman. The male was called Shao Yu and the female was called Chen Weiwei. Their commentating style wasn"t as strict and calm as Yu Bing but they were easy and cheerful. They often gossiped in the middle to raise the atmosphere.
As soon as the Canglan team appeared, Chen Weiwei said with a smile, "The biggest G.o.d of the second division has come out. Please welcome Cat G.o.d who is debuting in the second division with a brand new team, the Canglan team!"
Shao Yu looked over and asked, "Weiwei, what do you know about Cat G.o.d?"
Chen Weiwei replied: "Cat G.o.d had already left Miracle when I started commentating. I only heard some of my predecessors say that he is a contestant with a very distinctive personal style. This is the first time I"ve personally watched him in a match. I suddenly feel particularly honoured to be explaining the first game after Cat G.o.d"s return!"
“I feel honored too." Shao Yu said, "Of course, let"s tell the audience about the other members of the new Canglan team."
The big screen showed the data of the eight players. Chen Weiwei followed closely with, "This lineup is really luxurious for the second division. In addition to Captain Old Cat, Bai Xuan is one of the best healers. Xie Shurong"s ident.i.ty should be no stranger to everyone. He is the youngest brother of the Flying Feathers" Three Musketeers. In addition, Zhang Jueming is an old contestant. Shao Yu, do you know him?"
Shao Yu nodded. "I checked the information of this player last night. He was a captain the first season but his Full Moon team has long since disbanded. Captain Zhang had been missing for many years. To even dig out a player who has been retired for many years, Cat G.o.d"s ability to collect teammates is absolutely first-cla.s.s!"
Chen Weiwei was excited. "The members of the Canglan team have entered. We can see that the eight of them are dressed in neat uniforms and the style of the uniform is also very good!"
Liu Chuan urgently found a manufacturer to custom make the Canglan team"s uniform. The white base had a blue wave pattern and a simple wave shaped team logo. It looked very refreshing and gave the cool feeling of summer.
It was just that the four teenagers were almost the same age and it was hard to distinguish them when they were neatly dressed in uniforms.
"I"m a bit dizzy. Why do I feel like the four teenagers are four brothers? How do I distinguish them?" Chen Weiwei had a headache.
“There is one who is easy to recognize due to his blond hair." Shao Yu said with a smile. "The person with blond hair is Xiao Han. I will remind the audience that his hair isn"t dyed. He is a mixed-race child."
“Oh, this golden hair is really easy to recognize. What about the other three?"
"The shy one walking at the end with his head down is Li Xiaojiang. Of the other two, the tall and handsome one is Zhuo Hang while the very cute one with a bit of baby fat is called Gu Siming."
Shao Yu"s explanation allowed the viewers to attach names to the four teenagers.
The players of both teams entered and checked their equipment while Chen Weiwei started to introduce the members of the Dream team.
***
Moments later, the referee turned on the light that signaled the start of the match.
The first was a three game, two wins elimination battle. In the first round, the Canglan was the home team and could select the map.
Li Cangyu sat in the command post and quickly selected the Magic Mirror Forest.
The characteristic of this map was that there were many tall trees obscuring line of sight. It was suitable for Xiao Li"s black magician to move while casting and slowly killing the opponent. It was also suitable for Xiao Zhuo"s hunter to arrange traps according to the terrain.
Once the map was confirmed, the players from both teams sat in the contestant seats.
Chen Weiwei was surprised. "The Canglan team sent two teenagers? The old players aren"t playing?"
Shao Yu speculated, "Perhaps Cat G.o.d wants to take the opportunity to train the players? In any case, it is the beginning and there isn"t much pressure regarding points."
"It makes sense." Chen Weiwei nodded. "However, the Dream team sent their ace combination. It is an archer and white magician, with the captain personally playing. It is obvious that they place great attachment to this game with Canglan."
It was natural since Cat G.o.d"s name had spread like thunder after the glorious victory against the US at the World Carnival. This story had spread through the Miracle League. Such a big G.o.d appeared in the second division, making all teams treat him as the "ultimate boss."
Li Cangyu"s mentality was relatively calm. He took the four teenagers who never played and would take advantage of the second division to practice their training and try out a variety of lineups and combinations.
Today"s Dream team had clearly brought out the strongest lineup to deal with Canglan.
In the soundproof room, Bai Xuan made a worried expression, "The opposite side sent a white magician and archer. Won"t it be very difficult for Xiao Li and Xiao Zhuo to fight? The archer can restrain Xiao Zhuo and then it is the white magician"s magic against Xiao Li"s black magic. I don"t feel very good…"
Li Cangyu"s expression was calm. "That doesn"t mean there isn"t a chance. I gave them a very advantageous map and it depends on how well they cooperate."
***
The game soon started and the players refreshed at the same time in a corner of the map.
Li Xiaojiang"s Snail Crawling Slowly and Zhuo Hang"s Great Navigator refreshed in the southwest corner of the map. Zhuo Hang didn"t care about Li Xiaojiang and walked in front by himself. Li Xiaojiang reacted a bit slowly and waited a bit before slowly following.
Once the two of them arrived at the central part of the map, Zhuo Hang immediately took advantage of the elf"s superior agility to place some traps on the ground. He waited for the prey to enter the net while Li Xiaojiang hid behind a tree and patiently searched for opportunities.
Moments later, the archer and white magician appeared in their field of view.
The white magician walked in front and the archer followed. The white magician saw Zhuo Hang and started off with G.o.d"s Seal to seal this hunter. However, Zhuo Hang"s movements speed was very fast and his positioning was flexible. He teleported sideways and just escaped from this skill!
Chen Weiwei couldn"t help praising him, "Zhuo Hang"s reaction response is very sharp. It is like this isn"t his first time playing compet.i.tively!"
Shao Yu agreed. "His movement skills are skillful."
The two of them praised Zhuo Hang but on the big screen, there was a sudden change in the situation. The archer"s big move Death Arrow Rain suddenly fell. The hiding Zhuo Hang just stepped into the range of this group attack.
The white magician was obviously very skilled. If Zhuo Hang didn"t hide then he would be hit by G.o.d"s Seal. If he hid, he would enter the scope of the archer"s big move.
The only way to deal with it was to retreat but Zhuo Hang hadn"t expected it and didn"t retreat.
He was. .h.i.t by the archer"s big move and Zhuo Hang"s blood instantly fell by a third.
He saw Li Xiaojiang secretly hiding behind a tree and anger filled his heart. Zhuo Hang couldn"t help saying on the team channel, "Come out, why are you hiding?"
He was such a slow snail. Why had Cat G.o.d partnered him up with Li Xiaojiang? It was better to change to Xiao Han or Gu Siming.
Li Xiaojiang didn"t come out to help Zhuo Hang. It wasn"t because he was afraid but because he felt the timing of his current shot wasn"t good. He was waiting for the white magician to take one step further.
Yes, it was this moment!
Li Xiaojiang"s hands had long held back the control skill, finding the right time to use Death Fear!
The move successfully hit and the opposite white magician entered a state of fear. Li Xiaojiang followed with the three big moves of Death Spell, Shadow Winding and h.e.l.lfire!
The speed of his casting almost killed the audience. However, once it hit, the effect was quite terrible. The blood of the white magician instantly fell by 30% from these three basic spells. It was almost equivalent to a black magician"s big move that consumed a lot of blue!
Chen Weiwei couldn"t help saying, "This player is very distinctive. A slow black magician is rare!"
Shao Yu nodded in agreement. "Most of his stats are placed in attack and his weapon is also an attack one. The speed of his actions are slower but as long as the opportunity is grasped, every move is very important. In fact, the effect is quite good."
As explained by the commentators, Li Xiaojiang"s attack was slow but the three moves suddenly pulled back the blood gap. If Zhuo Hang could follow up with control then they could kill the white magician.
Li Xiaojiang thought this and immediately looked at Zhuo Hang. However…
Zhuo Hang hadn"t paid attention to what he was doing and quickly went around to fight the archer.
The other side"s elf archer was the captain of the Dream team. His level wasn"t high but he had played two years in the second division and his experience was quite rich.
He was an elf player and his movement speed didn"t lose to Zhuo Hang. Zhuo Hang was fast but he could be faster. The result was that Zhuo Hang chased the archer while putting down traps, but it was useless.
On the other side, the white magician in charge of control had the fear effect ended. He cautiously opened the distance with Li Xiaojiang and started to look for opportunities to fight Li Xiaojiang.
It was Li Xiaojiang"s first time on the field and he was a bit nervous. Still, he was used to playing slowly, not matter how nervous.
White magic and black magic restrained each other. In a match between black and white magic, it was about who could seize the opportunity.
It was obvious that the little rookie Li Xiaojiang had no way to compare to the experienced vice-captain. He was controlled by the opponent"s control skills and a set of consecutive moves evened up the blood gap.
At this time, Zhuo Hang and the elf arched had gone far away and were having a fierce one on one match.

In the commentators" room, the two commentators felt a bit awkward. Chen Weiwei watched for a while before saying, "Er… it might be that they haven"t adapted to the new system. The 2v2 combination effect can"t be seen at all. It is two 1v1 matches."
Shao Yu had some doubts. "Cat G.o.d is famous for his unfathomable tactics. What tactics is he using today?"
Chen Weiwei wondered, "…I feel like there is no tactic?"
This was what many viewers were wondering.
The two teenagers, what are you doing?
It was clearly a combination but there was no tacit understanding between the combination. When Li Xiaojiang needed Zhuo Hang to take over control, Zhuo Hang wasn"t there. When Zhuo Hang needed Li Xiaojiang as the output, Li Xiaojiang"s skills were cooling down.
Five minutes later, two kill prompts appeared on the big screen.
[Dream G.o.d has killed Great Navigator.]
[Dream South Star has killed Snail Crawling Slowly.]
Once these two kill prompts appeared on the screen, the grey "Failure" appeared on their screens at the same time.
In the first round, the Canglan team lost and the Dream team took the lead in the score. The score on the big screen became 2:0.
Zhuo Hang scratched his head with chagrin while Li Xiaojiang looked at the screen with a stunned expression. Both of them were a bit dazed.
Their debut match… they inexplicably lost?

Under the stage, Bai Xuan was feeling helpless. "They aren"t cooperating at all. Maybe we should"ve let Xiao Gu and Zhuo Hang go together?"
Li Cangyu said calmly, "I deliberately sent Li Xiaojiang in order to grind Zhuo Hang"s arrogance."
Bai Xuan turned to him doubtfully. "You did it deliberately?"
Li Cangyu nodded. "Xiao Han has a stubborn personality but he won"t look down on those below him. Zhuo Hang is different. He looks fine on the surface but haven"t you found that there is a strange sense of superiority in his heart?"
Xie Shurong heard this and couldn"t help saying, "No wonder why Zhuo Hang sticks to me and wants me to take him to the pairs arena. He doesn"t want to go with the other teenagers because he thinks that among the four youngsters, he has the highest level. Is there some sense of superiority in his heart?"
Uncle Zhang also added, "It is because one of the top G.o.ds in the Miracle League is his relative?"
"Yes, no matter how the person is…" Li Cangyu"s eyes narrowed. "I have to clean up Zhuo Hang."
