Chapter 249
The many G.o.ds watching from the sidelines didn"t expect Qin Mo and Xiao Han to have such a tacit understanding and strong attack power. Zhang Shaohui and Lu Xiao were successively sent off, Qin Mo taking the double kill with Xiao Han"s help.
This was even more powerful than many of the fixed partners.
The killed Lu Xiao wrote on the public channel: [The two little princes are well matched.]
Zhang Shaohui agreed. [Their tacit understanding is more than ours!]
Cheng Wei followed up with: [Qin Mo accompanied Xiao Han to train for so long. Your understanding must be cultivated in the process of sparring.]
Qin Mo noticed the messages on the screen and chose to ignore the word "sparring."
He was quite surprised that he could kill two great G.o.ds along with Xiao Han. Today, many combinations were temporarily set up for the arena. It seemed their understanding wasn"t as good as him and Xiao Han.
Su Guangmo said: [The two newcomers are very big.]
Xiao Han typed on the public screen: [Thank you Captain Su. You are also very big.]
Su Guangmo, "…"
The group laughed. Xiao Han"s Chinese standard was still at the level of "copying slavishly." He didn"t understand the essence of Chinese and returned other people"s praise. It was estimated that only Xiao Han could do this.
Cheng Wei actively came forward. [Who is the next group? Who hasn"t fought?]
[Me.] This was said by Tan s.h.i.tian"s side account, followed by a row of smiling expressions. [Xiao Wei isn"t cheering for me?]
Cheng Wei didn"t hesitate. [No.]
Tan s.h.i.tian asked: [Don"t you have any team love?]
Cheng Wei: [No.]
Tan s.h.i.tian smiled helplessly and got ready with Liu Xiang"s side account.
At this time, Xiao Han and Qin Mo had less than half their blood left. Once Tan s.h.i.tian appeared, he used the big move, Death Arrow Rain.
The bow fired the overwhelming arrows and Qin Mo immediately flashed to the left. Xiao Han turned to the right and the two people moved so that Tan s.h.i.tian"s group attack couldn"t reach both of them at the same time.
The stealth skill was on cooldown and Xiao Han couldn"t go around to interfere with Tan s.h.i.tian. Tan s.h.i.tian was the furthest attacker in the league. Thanks to the advantage of his long range, he constantly used cold arrows to interfere with the two.
In just one minute, Xiao Han was. .h.i.t to 10% of his blood.
Xiao Han would die if he was. .h.i.t by one more arrow. At this moment, Qin Mo suddenly summoned his blood knight right in front of Xiao Han. Everyone saw Tan s.h.i.tian"s Death Shot hit the night, allowing Xiao Han to avoid the move!
The cooldown of the stealth skill finished at this and once again, the two men pressed the key simultaneously, becoming invisible in front of everyone.
Xiao Han quickly circled behind Tan s.h.i.tian and used his final blue to hit Tan s.h.i.tian with a series of crits. Qin Mo also used all his pet skills.
The two men joined forces and Tan s.h.i.tian"s blood rapidly dropped. Fortunately, Liu Xiang didn"t stay still. She used a small healing skill and stacked up Healing Language to soon fill Tan s.h.i.tian"s blood.
Tan s.h.i.tian no longer hesitated. He used Flying Feather Steps to move quickly and used Quenching Arrow to shoot Xiao Han. This was a skill for archers to slow down the opponent and it was Tan s.h.i.tian"s signature during his kiting tactics.
Xiao Han couldn"t catch up with him. Tan s.h.i.tian used the advantage of his long attack range to easily take care of the two little princes.
Qin Mo and Xiao Han were sent off but Tan s.h.i.tian couldn"t help sighing. The cooperation between these two little guys was really wonderful!
Qin Mo used a skill to protect Xiao Han and Xiao Han seized the opportunity to cooperate with Qin Mo. They entered stealth and attacked at the same time, like their brain waves were synchronized. It was worthy of long-term partners, not teammates but better than teammates.
Fortunately, the two little guys weren"t in the same team or the MIracle League might become their world in the future. Many great G.o.ds thought this.
The masters Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu also exchanged a tacit look.
According to Qin Mo and Xiao Han"s performance today, they should keep cooperating in the arena. Then Li Cangyu could safely let them appear in the arena at the World Compet.i.tion.
***
Tan s.h.i.tian"s blood was filled by Liu Xiang but killing the two teenagers cost him a lot of blue.
Next up was the berserker combination of Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie.
Meng Jie had the nickname of Meng Jiejie (Sister Meng) in the league. She was one year older than the Red Fox captain Liu Xiang. She had the character of a northeast sister and have a lively manner of speaking. Her style when playing a berserker could be described in one word—fierce!
Yu Pingsheng was gentle and quiet as a ghost. A person with a communication disorder seemed a far cry from the berserker cla.s.s but his berserker was fierce!
Two fierce berserkers acted together, it was simple the peak of the melee flow. As soon as they met the opponents, they would chase to cut them!
Tan s.h.i.tian was chased by the two players and his scalp was numb. Liu Xiang was also under great pressure.
This might be the first time Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie were cooperating but players of the same cla.s.s were familiar with each other"s skills. The two people also had similar styles so it was easy to keep up with the rhythm of the other party.
Yu Pingsheng used Mountain Chop the moment Tan s.h.i.tian stepped back. Then Meng Jie followed up with Splitting Bone Chop to freeze Liu Xiang in place. The two people chased Tan s.h.i.tian with their axes and the group watching had shocked expressions.
[The two berserkers are terrible!]
[The nightmare of fragile remotes!]
[The two of them are really fierce. So many pits have been smashed into the ground…]
[Lighting a candle for Captain Tan.]
Tan s.h.i.tian was very helpless. The most annoying thing for a ranged cla.s.s was to be tangled up with a melee, especially when they were two fierce berserkers. His fragile defense couldn"t stand it and Liu Xiang"s blood adding could only delay things.
In the final, Yu Pingsheng emptied Tan s.h.i.tian"s blood and Liu Xiang was killed by the sister of the same team.
Liu Xiang typed on the public screen: [Meng Jie isn"t showing me any affection?]
Meng Jie said: [It is hard to kill you so I must seize the opportunity, haha!]
Yang Muzi jumped forward and agreed. [Yes!]
Liu Xiang, "…"
Weren"t they supposed to be good sisters for the rest of their lives?
***
Li Cangyu looked at the cooperation between Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie and whispered in Ling Xuefeng"s ears, "What do you think of letting them partner up in the arena?"
Ling Xuefeng shook his head and replied in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. "Two berserkers move slowly and are easily controlled if they aren"t careful. If they encounter a magician or summoner, they can"t play at all. The Su Yu combination has more guarantees. We can considered putting Meng Jie in the melee flow team battles."
Li Cangyu nodded. "I think so as well. They both look very fierce because they encountered an archer and a healer, a combination without many control skills. They must kneel down if they meet magicians. We can"t send them to the arena."
Ling Xuefeng nodded. "Yes."
Yan Ruiwen sat next to them and automatically moved away. He looked straight ahead and pretended not to see anything. The two commanders whispering through the whole process and exchanging a tacit understanding, couldn"t they consider the feelings of the single dog sitting next to them?
***
Tan s.h.i.tian and Liu Xiang were eliminated and they were followed by the double hunters combination of Zhuo Hang and Jiang Xu.
As Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng just a.n.a.lyzed, the shortcomings of the Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie combination were exposed at this time. They encountered a cla.s.s with many control skills and simply couldn"t move.
Zhuo Hang placed the traps at a fast speed while Jiang Xu was a professional hunter. He placed traps one after another to make it difficult for Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie. The two berserkers acted fiercely but they could only be controlled by the traps.
Jiang Xu and Zhuo Hang"s chain traps exploded and quickly sent the two berserkers away. It was followed by the last pair of partners, Guo Xuan and Yang Muzi.
This combination seemed a big nondescript, the black magician and white magician combination not appearing in the regular season. To everyone"s surprise, the effect of the black magician and white magician wasn"t bad. The white magician was the main control while the black magician was the violent output. This had an advantage against middle-range players like Zhuo Hang and Jiang Xu.
Still, this combination didn"t have the force of two white magicians or two black magicians. Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng soon pa.s.sed it. It wasn"t desirable to send such a combination to the arena.
***
The first round of the arena lasted for nearly an hour and everyone wasn"t tired at all. Instead, they became more and more excited.
In the national team, everyone could try a variety of novel combinations in the arena, which wasn"t possible in their own team. The reason why Li Cangyu did this was to see if they could form a stronger partnership than the fixed domestic lineup.
Jiang Xu and Zhuo Hang"s double hunters fit Li Cangyu"s plan, Xiao Han and Qin Mo"s partnership was an unexpected gain and they could consider Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong for a fast break. In addition, the combination of Yan Ruiwen and Bai Xuan, Guo Xuan and Yang Muzi, Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie were all nagated. They weren"t suitable for the World Compet.i.tion.
Next, Li Cangyu had everyone continue with the reorganization. This training mode made many people feel excited and not tired at all. At lunch time, they were even reluctant to leave the training room. They only reluctantly went to the hotel"s dining room under Li Cangyu"s urging.
Ling Xuefeng saw the excited expressions on everyone"s face and couldn"t help saying, "It seems that your training method is useful and everyone likes it."
Li Cangyu replied, "They are also tired from always fighting with the same partner. Changing the taste can mobilize people"s enthusiasm."
"Yes." Ling Xuefeng nodded. "A variety of strong combinations appeared in this morning"s arena but there is a very strong combination that didn"t appear."
Li Cangyu was puzzled. "Who?"
Ling Xuefeng pointed to the other person and then himself. "Us."
Li Cangyu was stunned before immediately smiling. He whispered in Ling Xuefeng"s ear, "The two of us must be the finale… do we need to practice?"
A soft look appeared in Ling Xuefeng"s indifferent eyes. "No."
The understanding between them was better than Qin Mo and Xiao Han. They didn"t need to deliberately train, as long as they practiced their hand speed and tactics before a game.
Both people believed that the final lineup of two summoners would bring a surprise to everyone in the World Compet.i.tion.

Chapter 250 – Tactical Reorganization
After eating at noon, the other players returned to their rooms to rest. Li Cangyu privately called Su Guangmo, Tan s.h.i.tian, Lou Wushuang, Chu Yan and Jiang Xu to meet in room 601.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Ling Xuefeng"s black suitcase and LI Cangyu"s white suitcase placed side by side. The two people"s clothes were neatly hung in the closest and even the two laptops were next to each other. Obviously, the captain and vice-captain of the national team often discussed issues together.
Tan s.h.i.tian touched his nose, pretended not to see anything and quietly found a place to sit down.
Li Cangyu poured everyone a cup of tea. As he was pouring, he said, "This is the bamboo green leaves brought by Ling Xuefeng. Everyone should try it. We don"t have to be too serious in private meetings. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
Su Guangmo drank the cup of tea and actively asked, "Captain called us over. Is it to discuss the tactical groupings?"
"That"s right." Li Cangyu got straight to the point. "In the three games of the World Compet.i.tion, players can"t be repeated. Thus, when arranging the lineup, try to avoid repeating personnel as much as possible."
Ling Xuefeng had sorted the information and handed it to everyone. "This is the list of partners that our national team can currently send. After today"s practice, the Jiang Zhuo hunter combination, the Su Xie swordsman combination, the Xiao Qin combination and my double summoner combination with Cat have been added."
Everyone read the material and Chu Yan was surprised. "So many?"
There were many combinations on the list.
For example, there was the Yan Gou black magician combination, the Tan Cheng kiting combination, the Shu Bai consumption battle combination, the Lou Zhang a.s.sa.s.sin combination, the Su Yu melee combination etc. These were the old partnerships from the major teams, as well as the several new combinations today. In the World Compet.i.tion, the Chinese team could have hundreds of arrangements for players in the arena.
The national team"s lineup was so luxurious that Su Guangmo couldn"t help laughing. "Thus, we have a lot of room too choose, even if the players can"t be repeated."
Jiang Xu nodded. "Yes, as long as there are six people for the arena and the economic warfare and death racing uses different tactical schemes, the number of people is more than enough."
Li Cangyu said, "I called everyone because of this. The death racing mode can"t be decided but we must handle the group battle mode. Everyone should first pick out their lineup and we will carry out the team tactical training in the afternoon."
Su Guangmo thought about it and said, "For the melee flow, the three brothers plus Meng Jie will mean a very stable front row defense. The attack is also enough. The other two players can be arranged according to the arena. It is best to arrange a protective healing cla.s.s and a hunter is also a good choice."
Li Cangyu quickly typed on his laptop while listening.
Lou Wushuang followed closely, "I want Yu and Meng in the front row to let them attract firepower. The remaining three a.s.sa.s.sins can safely complete the joint a.s.sa.s.sination tactics. The healer should be Vice-Captain Bai since his emergency response is relatively strong."
Chu Yan said, "There are four psychics in Pure Cleansing but only two in the national team. It is difficult to play the pure illusion style. Today"s cooperation between Guo Xuan and Yang Muzi gave me some inspiration. I want two black magicians and a white magician to fill the lack of control."
Li Cangyu carefully wrote it down and then asked, "Captain Tan and Captain Jiang? What are your thoughts?"
Tan s.h.i.tian said, "Add two magicians so the control and output are more flexible."
Jiang Xu replied, "Qin Mo and Xiao Han can join the lineup for the trap flow if they don"t play in the arena. Or it can be two black magicians and a berserker. It will be relatively easy to play with them."
Li Cangyu carefully sorted it and said, "The commanders can easily adjust the lineup but the problem is that we only have two healers. Bai Xuan and Liu Xiang will have to rotate or it might be hard on them. Each lineup has to adapt."
Ling Xuefeng nodded in agreement. "This is the case. If one healer has any problems, we can"t let our tactics be ruined."
Li Cangyu followed, "Considering the pressure of the team battle, we will try not to send Bai Xuan to the arena."
Everyone agreed with this decision.
***
The lunch break pa.s.sed quickly and everyone was filled with great energy as they came to the training room.
The afternoon"s training was the team tactics and took the form of a rotating battle, just like the morning"s arena.
In order to save time, LI Cangyu built a multi-person room in the arena, allowing the two sides to fight directly. Otherwise, playing the economic warfare, ice dragon and pushing to the crystal would take at least 30 minutes and the rhythm was too slow.
The specific economic warfare tactics were naturally in the hands of the commanders, The key was how the team cooperated during a wave of combat. It was necessary to cultivate the understanding between the great G.o.ds as soon as possible. Everyone agreed with LI Cangyu"s multi-person PK model.
The first to appear was the melee stream lineup, consisting of Su Guangmo, Yu Pingsheng, Meng Jie, Xie Shurong, Zhuo Hang and Bai Xuan. They were fighting the kiting lineup that consisted of Tan s.h.i.tian, Cheng Wei, Lu Xiao, Yang Muzi, Yan Ruiwen and Liu Xiang.
Both sides were a collection of great G.o.ds but one side had many melee and the other side was mainly remotes. Based on the lineup, there were advantages and disadvantages.
The first game was chosen by Tan s.h.i.tian. He cleverly selected a desert map, which was a seven star status map selected for the World Compet.i.tion. The flying sand in the air had a great influence on players.
Once a melee had their visibility lowered, their movements would naturally be restricted. Archers were different. They could stand at a distance for a group attack. As long as they grasped the direction, they could place a lot of psychological pressure on the other side.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the battle, the balance of victory tilted towards Tan s.h.i.tian. He and Lu Xiao cooperated with the group attack Death Arrow Rain to suppress the blood volume of the opponents, then controlled them with the deceleration skill Quenching Arrow.
It was difficult for melee cla.s.ses to get close to them but Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong both had teleportation skills. The brothers seized the opportunity and jumped towards Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei, unceremoniously using Light and Shadow Rotation to interrupt the remote cla.s.ses and decreasing blood.
At the same time, Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie opened a horizontal ditch with their giant axes, blocking a movement route.
Zhuo Hang was the mobile team member of this lineup and took full advantage of an elf"s quick movements, placing a lot of traps under the opponent"s feet. The series of Trap Blasts cooperated with Su and Shu"s attacks, causing an amazing effect.
In the end, this game was won by Tan s.h.i.tian. The key lay in the combination of Cheng Wei and Yang Muzi"s big white magic control, which sealed the front row in place. Then Tan s.h.i.tian, Lu Xiao and Yan Ruiwen simultaneously unleashed a big group attack and smashed the other side.
The second game was Su Guangmo"s turn and he chose a forest with extremely dense trees. The arrows of the archers were mostly straight-line attacks and they only had one skill to penetrate obstacles. The blockage of a large number of trees would definitely limit Tan and Lu.
Facts proved it. Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong cooperated with their rapid advancement while Yu Pingsheng and Meng Jie cooperated to intercept the other side. The team led by Tan s.h.i.tian were surrounded and stepped into Zhuo Hang"s traps.
The cooperation between the Su, Yu and Shu brothers quickly cleared the blood of the fragile remotes. Su Guangmo moved back the playing field in this game and the two sides were 1:1.
***
Li Cangyu saw this and looked over at Ling Xuefeng. "This group is really good."
Due to the joining of Zhuo Hang and Meng Jie, the strength of the melee flow increased a lot. The addition of the black and white magicians to the kiting flow also gave the team many control skills.
Ling Xuefeng whispered, "If these players were gathered in the Time team then they would definitely win the championship. The same is true for Flying Feathers."
Li Cangyu smiled. "The strength of the national team is twice as strong as the domestic league."
It was because every player who joined the national team was one of the best in the world. Everyone"s awareness wasn"t bad and if they cooperated well, the overall strength of the team would naturally be enhanced.
Li Cangyu typed on the public channel: [Change to the next group.]
Next was the confrontation between the a.s.sa.s.sins and the trap flow. The two sides played very fiercely, with Lou Wushuang and Jiang Xu each winning a game. In fact, the strength of both sides was similar. The key to winning or losing was the impact of the map.
Li Cangyu touched his chin and thought about it. In the World Compet.i.tion, the map seemed to be a very important factor!
