Chapter 247 – Doubles Partner
Perhaps it was because there were great G.o.ds around but everyone was very serious with training. There were players like Captain Ling and Cat G.o.d practicing seriously, how could other people be so lazy?
One hour of basic training pa.s.sed quickly. Next was time for the arena. Li Cangyu stood up and told them, "The fixed combinations of each team just have to maintain their understanding. In the national team, everyone should try other combinations. The players we meet at the World Compet.i.tion will surely have a variety of players. We should play with different partners to enrich our experience."
"If you want to combine with someone, register the group. Once the groups have finished being decided, we will play in the arena."
Everyone immediately logged into the Q group and Cheng Wei came forward first. [I want to team up with Cat G.o.d! Please satisfy the wish of your fan O(∩_∩)O.]
Li Cangyu looked at his expression of selling meng and couldn"t help smiling. [Okay, I will fulfill your wish.]
Xie Shurong asked: [Brother, do you want to come with me? Take care of the younger brother you"ve abandoned for all these years.]
Su Guangmo wondered, [Which brother are you calling?]
Xie Shurong: [My oldest apprentice brother.]
Su Guangmo turned to Yu Pingsheng. "Then I will try it with Ah Shu. Who do you want to form a team with?"
Yu Pingsheng thought for a long time before finally managing to say a name. "Meng Jiejie."
Meng Jie turned at the sound of her ID. "Did you call me?"
Yu Pingsheng smiled shyly and asked, "Team?"
Meng Jie had a decisive nature and nodded. "No problem!"
The people around them, "…"
Wasn"t this style too wrong? Meng Jie was straightforward and heroic while Vice-Captain Yu could barely say a word…
Guo Xuan saw this and couldn"t help moving. [Sister Muzi, do you want to team up? How about we try a black and white magician alliance?]
The lively Yang Muzi immediately agreed. [Good! I haven"t played this combination yet.]
Yan Ruiwen smiled. [Vice-Captain Bai, how about we team up? The vice-captains of Wind Colour and Canglan haven"t cooperated yet.]
Bai Xuan easily promised: [No problem.]
Xiao Han followed up with: [The little princes of Wind Colour and Canglan should also form a group.]
Qin Mo was excited. [Yes!]
Zhuo Hang @Jiang Xu and asked: [Senior, do you want to guide me? Shall we try the combination of two hunters?]
Jiang Xu: [Yes.]
Time"s captain Tan s.h.i.tian invited Red Fox"s captain Liu Xiang. [Captain Liu, do you want to give me face? I also want to try the feeling of taking a milk mother with me.]
He had debuted in the same season as Liu Xiang. Among the captains present, they were the youngest and naturally chatted together. Liu Xiang saw this and responded: [Okay Captain Tan, I will look after your blood.]
Zhu Qingyue of Pure Cleansing saw this and couldn"t help saying weakly: [Cat G.o.d is truly the expert at demolition. Almost all the fixed combinations in the national team have been broken apart by you ? ]
Cheng Wei jumped out: [Xiao Zhu, cry to Cat G.o.d and he might change his mind!]
Zhu Qingyue sent a row of tearful expressions.
Then Chu Yan spoke: [The demolition is very good but the Ghost Spirits combination hasn"t been torn apart yet.]
Zhang Shaohui replied: [No one wants to team up with us. Is it because a.s.sa.s.sins are harder to team up with?]
Ling Xuefeng suddenly came up. [I will be with Captain Lou. Vice-Captain Zhang, do you want to try it with Lu Xiao?]
Zhang Shaohui immediately agreed. [No problem!]
The demolition expert"s achievement of tearing apart all combinations was finally reached. Li Cangyu smiled and said, [I will bring a team and Xuefeng will bring a team. Everyone is free to join one of them. We will play the KOF style.]
People immediately selected a team.
Apart from the two auxiliary psychics of Pure Cleansing, who wouldn"t play for the time being, the other 20 people were divided into teams of team. The five pairs on each other would start the PK according to the KOF elimination style.
Li Cangyu built a room and selected the seven star high difficulty maps of the World Compet.i.tion, setting it to random mode.
Li Cangyu and Cheng Wei pressed ready. Their first opponents were Ling Xuefeng and Lou Wushuang, while the others observed.
Cheng Wei was very excited at teaming up with Cat G.o.d as he waited for the map to load.
The map that appeared was the seven star map previously seen before. The deceleration map tested the accuracy of the player"s skill release in the low-speed state.
The Cat Wei combination had been seen at the Carnival while the Ling Xuefeng and Lou Wushuang combination was fresh. Many great G.o.ds watched this game from a spectator"s perspective.
Ling Xuefeng and Lou Wushuang were both cool-type players and didn"t communicate much. As soon as they appeared on the map, Lou Wushuang used the normal stealth skill of a blood kin player. He quickly lurked behind Cheng Wei while Ling Xuefeng would use his skeleton infantry to control Li Cangyu.
Li Cangyu"s instincts were very keen. He saw Ling Xuefeng coming over and immediately used Flying Feather Steps to slide away a few metres. Sure enough, Ling Xuefeng used Cover the Sky at this moment!
The black crows flew in their faces and Cheng Wei"s screen was blacked out. However, Li Cangyu wasn"t affected because he avoided it in time.
Lou Wushuang took advantage of this and struck Cheng Wei with Pain Blade. Still, Cheng Wei wasn"t silly. The moment he became blind, he jumped a few steps forward and directly avoided Lou Wushuang"s control.
Su Guangmo joked on the public channel: [Did Xiao Wei"s hand slip and he pressed the wrong key?]
Tan s.h.i.tian retorted: [Don"t underestimate our vice-captain. How can his awareness not sense this?]
Cheng Wei couldn"t see the words on the public channel. At this time, his screen was still black. He just guessed that Lou Wushuang would definitely take the time to attack him so he blindly jumped forward and happened to dodge this skill.
A moment later, his vision was restored and Cheng Wei used the previous prepared G.o.d"s Seal to control Ling Xuefeng in front. The other party had long guessed this and summoned a skeleton in front of him, accurately blocking Cheng Wei"s sealing skill.
Both sides avoided the control. It was as good as an official match!
The people watching couldn"t help sighing with admiration. They didn"t expect that the national team"s casual game could be at the same level as the season"s finals. It could be seen that everyone was particularly serious about this training.
***
Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu privately had a honey-like relationship but they didn"t have the name of the "strongest opponent" for nothing. In the blink of an eye, the two people used their big moves. Ling Xuefeng used the demon G.o.d to smash Li Cangyu"s health down to 50% and Li Cangyu ruthlessly used the fire spirit and thunder spirit to smash Ling Xuefeng.
At a critical moment, Lou Wushuang suddenly became invisible and moved to Cheng Wei at the fastest speed. He unleashed a series of combos and directly took Cheng Wei"s head!
Captain Lou"s fierce and calm attacks made everyone"s backs cold.
It was the first captain of Ghost Spirits who created the "a.s.sa.s.sination style but the one who was widely recognized for it and won the championship in front of everyone was his apprentice Lou Wushuang.
This man had a calmness that was beyond ordinary people and his eyes were like a cold snake. His body temperature was lower than normal people and he could only say that his personality was a perfect fit for this "a.s.sa.s.sin" cla.s.s.
Previously, he was sick and eliminated from the national team"s trials but fortunately, he survived the danger. Today"s arena game proved Lou Wushuang"s strength. He was definitely the best a.s.sa.s.sin of the league.
Cheng Wei was a bit depressed but the arena was like this. He accidentally let the other person seize an opportunity and was killed by Lou Wushuang. He had nothing to complain about.
[Cat G.o.d, come on!] Cheng Wei typed on the public channel.
Li Cangyu had no time to pay attention to anyone else. Previously, Lou Wushuang had been beaten to residual blood by Cheng Wei and it wasn"t difficult to kill the other person. However, Ling Xuefeng had three types of pets and Li Cangyu"s thunder and wind spirit"s moves had been used.
The desperate Li Cangyu had to call the water spirit and wanted to rely on it to slowly grind Ling Xuefeng.
However, Ling Xuefeng was very smart his time. He wasn"t killed by Li Cangyu as he was in the seventh season"s finals. The moment that the other person summoned the water spirit, he immediately realized what Li Cangyu was doing and used Witch Demon"s Curse to forcibly bring Li Cangyu forward!
This reaction speed made the onlookers feel amazed.
Li Cangyu was pulled over and couldn"t escape. Ling Xuefeng summoned the skeleton infantry and used continuous Skeleton Explosions to clear the other person"s blood.
[Victory!]
This time Ling Xuefeng won against Li Cangyu, which could be considered making up for the loss in the finals.
Li Cangyu didn"t mind. He smiled and sent a row of thumbs up. [Your reactions are fast!]
Ling Xuefeng asked: [Did you want to use the same method a second time?]
Li Cangyu: [I can only use it on you once but I can try it again on foreigners.]
Ling Xuefeng agreed. [That is fine.]
Everyone, “…”
The captain and vice-captain were chatting? They were waiting for the game to continue!

Chapter 248
Li Cangyu and Cheng Wei went down and the Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong combination followed.
The apprentice brothers had fought side by side in the Flying Feathers team. Later, due to young impulses, the brothers broke the connection. Now they were once again standing next to each other in the national team and seemed to have recovered the tacit understanding of the Three Musketeers.
Su Guangmo had the violent style while Xie Shurong was best at fast breaks. Under the joint attacks of the two people, Ling Xuefeng didn"t last long and was sent off.
The second lineup sent by that team was Bai Xuan and Yan Ruiwen.
Xie Shurong smiled and typed on the public channel: [Vice-Captain Bai, show mercy!]
Bai Xuan: […I"m not the one hitting you.]
The group laughed. What did he mean by having a healer show mercy? Don"t add blood to him?
Xie Shurong continued typing: [I am used to you giving me blood. I can"t bear to cut you. I will target Vice-Captain Yan.]
Yan Ruiwen smiled. [Okay.]
Su Guangmo couldn"t bear it and typed: [Ah Shu, can"t you be serious?]
Xie Shurong replied: [I am very serious. Can"t you see it?]
There was no way to handle this guy and Su Guangmo directly ignored him. The two opponents appeared in front of him and he immediately used Light and Shadow Rotation.
At the same time, Xie Shurong also used Light and Shadow Rotation. His technique was extremely skillful and he avoided Bai Xuan, only hitting Yan Ruiwen. Yan Ruiwen was really in pain. He was. .h.i.t by two swords at the same time and his fragile body couldn"t stand it!
Fortunately, there was a strong milk dad by his side.
Bai Xuan"s blood adding technique was very fast. In the face of such a violent attack, he carried Yan Ruiwen"s blood to the 60% safety line.
However, the combination of Yan Ruiwen and Bai Xuan couldn"t show any advantages.
Tan s.h.i.tian shouldn"t help typing: [This map isn"t good for Yan Bai to fight on. There are no obstacles for Vice-Captain Yan to move around and once a swordsman gets close, his skills are always interrupted.]
Cheng Wei also typed: [It is very annoying to be interrupted by a swordsman.]
Many ranged cla.s.ses jumped out to agree.
At this moment, Yan Ruiwen suddenly moved behind Bai Xuan and managed to hide from Xie Shurong"s attack. Then he used Dark Fear and affected both Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong!
He took advantage of this chance to open a wave of black magic combos. Death Mantra, Shadow Winding, h.e.l.l Flames!
Black mist scattered from his hand, forching Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong to be affected by the negative black magic. Yan Ruiwen"s grasp of the timing was quite accurate.
Yan Ruiwen unleashed a wave but it was difficult for Yan Bai to take back the situation.
Once the control effect of Dar Fear was over, Su Guangmo"s Spirit Lock set Bai Xuan in place. He followed up by teleporting to Yan Ruiwen and used Breaking Bone Sword and Soul Sword.
Xie Shurong also cooperated with his brother"s offensive rhythm and used the swordsman"s sharp attacks to forcibly empty Yan Ruiwen"s blood.
[Ah Shu has killed Undying Grat.i.tude!]
Yan Ruiwen was helpless when he fell while Bai Xuan smiled apologetically. [I couldn"t add blood.]
Xie Shurong was happy at the through. The Shu Bai combination was the best. If he was Bai Xuan"s partner, he would definitely reduce Bai Xuan"s burden.
Everyone found that the black magician and priest were really different and it was too strange to mix them together. The only chance was if there was a map with many obstacles, allowing them to slowly delay the time and apply negative states. Otherwise, the two people together were easily destroyed once controlled.
The combination of the vice-captains ended in failure. Yan Ruiwen typed on the public channel: [It seems i don"t fit with Vice-Captain Bai.]
Xie Shurong immediately jumped out. [Of course, I am a perfect match for Vice-Captain Bai.]
Bai Xuan, "…"
He looked at the words "perfect match" and remembered Xie Shurong"s gentle kiss. Bai Xuan"s cheeks suddenly became hot. He ignored this sentence and continued to watch.
***
The next appearance was the combination of Zhang Shaohui and Lu Xiao. Don"t look at Zhang Shaohui"s developed limbs and simple brains. He might be emotionally slow but in Miracle, he was quite proficient from a young age. His keen senses and decisive judgment on the field made him a top a.s.sa.s.sin in the Miracle League who could stand next to Lou Wushuang.
A swordsman and a.s.sa.s.sin had an equal winning rate but in a two player battle, the a.s.sa.s.sin was definitely a bit more dominant. As long as the stealth skill was used well, it was enough to give the other side a headache.
Zhang Shaohui"s stealth skill was used to sneak behind Xie Shurong. Pain Blade was used to freeze the other person and Lu Xiao immediately used Death Arrow Rain, turning Xie Shurong into a hedgehog.
Lu Xiao"s awareness wasn"t much worse than Tan s.h.i.tian and his playing was very stable. This might be his first time cooperating with Vice-Captain Zhang but the two of them were tacit about their choice of target.
Xie Shurong, who just typed on the public channel, was killed. Su Guangmo gloated in his misfortune. [It is true that those who speak a lot of words are the first to die.]
Xie Shurong rudely told him: [You"re going to die soon.]
Su Guangmo lasted for a minute. His swordsman had higher defense than Ah Shu due to the way they added their points. The archer"s attack distance was too far and he couldn"t reach. He could only target Zhang Shaohui.
Zhang Shaohui"s a.s.sa.s.sin style wasn"t as cool and sharp as his brother but it was a bit annoying. Still, today"s map meant there was no place to hide. Su Guangmo chased him and Zhang Shaohui was forced to fight hard.
Fortunately, his attacks could suck up blood and by the time he killed Su Guangmo, he had 60% blood left.
Here, Qin Mo and Xiao Han appeared in the arena.
Just now, the vice-captains of Wind Colour and Canglan ended up failing. How would the little princes go? Everyone was looking forward to it.
As a blood kin a.s.sa.s.sin, Xiao Han was best at grasping opportunities. He wasn"t as cool and sharp as Captain Lou, nor did he have wretched sneak attacks like Zhang Shaohui. His style of play was smart and flexible, his brain circuits different from ordinary players.
He targeted the ace archer Lu Xiao, quietly moving around to the back and then staying still. Qin Mo summoned a blood spider and blood snake in front, letting his blood spider chase after Zhang Shaohui.
Everyone thought Qin Mo and Xiao Han had split up to fight when Xiao Han suddenly typed on the team channel. Then everyone was surprised to see the wonderful cooperation between the two teenagers.
Xiao Han suddenly broke out with Pain Blade, interrupting Lu Xiao"s cold arrows and stunning him. At the same time, Qin Mo"s blood snake suddenly shifted directions and bit Lu Xiao!
On the sidelines, Su Guangmo sighed with admiration. [A double line operation! Good senses.]
This was a beautiful double-line manipulation.
Qin Mo had his blood spider fix Zhang Shaohui in place while his blood snake cooperated with Xiao Han to fight Lu Xiao in the distance. The positioning of the two pets was very precise and the timing was also great. He was truly Ling Xuefeng"s apprentice!
Xiao Han naturally couldn"t drop the ball. After Pain Blade stunned the opponent, he immediately released Back Stab, Soul Stab and Death Strangulation!
Qin Mo used the blood snake to quickly apply three layers of bleeding and then opened the big move, Blood Bat Festival!
The cooperation of the two teenagers was very smooth and the tacit understanding didn"t lose to long-term partners!
Cheng Wei sent a row of thumbs up to express his admiration. [Qin Mo is worthy of being Xiao Han"s sparring partner. This understanding should be developed from long-term training?]
Tan s.h.i.tian sent a laughing expression. [Xiao Wei, you shouldn"t be too direct or you will make Xiao Qin sad.]
Cheng Wei laughed. [I am telling the truth.]
The two people in the arena couldn"t see the messages on the public channel because they were concentrated on the game. Lu Xiao and Zhang Shaohui"s control effect would soon be over.
At this moment, Qin Mo typed in the team channel. [222.]
Then everyone saw a magical picture. It was like Qin Mo and Xiao Han"s brain waves were synchronized as they entered stealth at the same time.
Stealth was the common skill of the blood kin race. The control effect of Zhang Shaohui and Lu Xiao had ended and they were thinking about counterattacking. As a result, the two young teenagers in front of them used Combat Stealth at the same time. Zhang Shaohui and Lu Xiao lost their goal in an instant!
Cheng Wei typed on the public channel: [Two little princes, 666666!]
Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng glanced at each other and saw a satisfied look in the other person"s eyes.
They didn"t expect that Qin Mo and Xiao Han could work together to actually fight the big G.o.ds like Zhang Shaohui and Lu Xiao. The two teenagers who won the Best Newcomer Award in the sixth and seventh seasons had really grown into excellent players.
Perhaps their combination could be sent to the arena in the World Compet.i.tion?
Li Cangyu asked Ling Xuefeng. Ling Xuefeng seemed to know his question and nodded in agreement.
The tacit understanding between the masters seemed to have affected the apprentices. On the field, Qin Mo and Xiao Han teamed up to kill Zhang Shaohui!
[Shepherd has killed Shadow!]
Qin Mo was really excited when he saw this message. The feeling of being able to fight with Xiao Han was better than imagined. His long time spent as a sparring partner and Chinese teacher wasn"t wasted!
