Chapter 52

Not long after Mu He sent Feng Xiyan away, he logged into the game and found that the list of teams advancing to the challenge competition had been released.

The four teams that advanced from the old zone "Wind and Cloud Change" are: Honghuang, Qingyu, Qiansha, and Xuanyun

The four teams that advanced from the new zone "As if in another world" are: Langmie, Shengmeng, Fentian, and Meteorite

In addition to Honghuang, Qingyu also appeared in the previous challenge competition. I remember that he lost to Ye Lan in the end. I didn't expect that he would participate in this competition again without giving up.

Then the other teams are all new faces and we don’t know how strong they are.

But it’s useless even if we know it, because the teams that will play against the qualifying teams in the challenge are the quarterfinals teams, and the qualifying teams cannot compete with each other for the time being.

As for which of the top eight teams you will encounter in the challenge tournament, it will be determined by drawing lots. It will be a one-on-one match and no one can escape.

If you win the challenge, you can skip the regular season and directly advance to the quarterfinals.

"Which team do you think we will be drawn into?"

Yuan Yitong actually came online as well, and as soon as he came online, he couldn't help but ask Mu He.

Mu He rolled his eyes: "I'm not a system, who should I ask if you ask me?"

Yuan Yitong: "Which team do you want to meet?"

Mu He thought for a moment: "Frivolous."

Yuan Yitong: "Why?"

Mu He: "The champion of the last league."

Yuan Yitong: "...Okay."

After Mu He answered Yuan Yitong, he couldn't help laughing. @无限好文,全在Jinjiang文城

He remembered his conversation with Feng Xiyan.

He once asked Feng Xiyan who he thought would be the champion of this professional league. Feng Xiyan said without hesitation - frivolous.

When he asked why, Feng Xiyan's answer was - the champion of the previous league.

He blamed Feng Xiyan for not being able to chat, but now that he thought about it, there was nothing wrong with this answer.

"What about you? Who do you want to be?" Mu He asked Yuan Yitong.

Yuan Yitong thought for a while and replied calmly, "Let's stay in the rain."

"Huh? Why?" Mu He asked, suddenly remembering that the Yu Su team came from the Ghost Realm? He wondered if they had fought against Yuan Yitong before...

Just as he was thinking this, Yuan Yitong suddenly spoke in a very calm tone, "Actually, I used to play professionally, and the team I belonged to was Yusu."

Mu He:!!!

Mu He had long guessed that Yuan Yitong had played professionally, but he was still a little surprised to hear him say it himself.

What he didn't expect was that Yuan Yitong's previous team was actually Yu Su?!

In other words, he and the captain of Yusu...

"Yes, I know Yu Guotian Qing." Yuan Yitong spoke calmly, his tone incredibly calm, but the calmer he was, the more he seemed to be suppressing something. "It's just that we haven't met in real life."

Mu He hesitated, not knowing what to say.

However, before he could ask, Yuan Yitong continued, "Actually, I don't want to fight Yu Su. I just want to fight Yu Guotianqing and recreate the feeling of playing competitively."

"The feeling before?" Mu He tilted his head.

He had never played "Ghost World", so he didn't know what it felt like to play it, but he vaguely guessed that it was very different from "Imperial Spirit", otherwise it would not have cultivated a group of players with the same characteristics.

Yuan Yitong smiled. "How should I put it? Don't be offended if I tell you this. When I first started playing Yuling, I felt quite awkward. Many players who have played Guijie and then played Yuling should understand my feelings. It's like... after being so used to fighting and killing, it feels like everyone is suddenly sitting down and playing house."

"Hey!" Mu He felt sorry for Yu Ling.

"That was at the beginning!" Yuan Yitong added immediately, then continued, "Later, I discovered that 'Strange World' has a sense of excitement that 'Imperial Spirit' doesn't have, but 'Imperial Spirit' also has a charm that 'Strange World' doesn't have. For example, the move you did in the first round of auditions is simply impossible to do in 'Strange World'."

Mu He blinked and began to recall which move it was. He had done so many cool moves... cough.

Yuan Yitong didn't know what he was thinking, and sighed to himself, "Sometimes, when I think about a game I've worked so hard for for so long, it's gone just like that, and I feel so sad and powerless. But then I think about it, if Ghost World hadn't died, there wouldn't have been the popularity of Imperial Spirit, and I wouldn't have met you and Xiao Shu in Imperial Spirit, and fought alongside you all."

Mu He was stunned for a moment, remembering his own retirement from the circle and the current Langmie.

He couldn't help but smile: "No matter what the past was like, the future will get better and better."

"That's right." Yuan Yitong also smiled, "The future will get better and better."

Mu He: "Then shouldn't you reveal your old username to me?"

"Well..." Yuan Yitong recalled his dark history and coughed. "I'll keep it secret for now." He paused and said helplessly, "Anyway, you'll find out sooner or later."

The challenge tournament will begin in the afternoon of the next day. The teams that advance to the challenge tournament will take turns drawing lots one day in advance to determine the eight teams they will face in the quarterfinals.

The order of drawing lots was randomly selected by the system. The first team selected by the system to draw lots was Qingyu, and they drew Piaoxiang.

"Qingyu and Piaoxiang..." Mu He really couldn't judge who would win. "One is a very strong new team, and the other is at the bottom of the quarterfinals."

Qingyu can't beat Ye Lan, but maybe he can fight Piaoxiang?

"Piaoxiang wins." Feng Xiyan made a blind guess.

Mu He blinked: "Why?"

Feng Xiyan: "Guessed." @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Mu He: "What's the basis?"

Feng Xiyan: "At least we are in the quarterfinals."

Mu He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Okay, he lost.

The second team to draw lots was Fentian, and they drew Feixuan.

Mu He observed a second of silence for Fentian.

The third team to draw lots was Qiansha, and they drew Chixue.

Mu He observed two seconds of silence for Qiansha.

It seems that Langmie will not meet Feixuan and Chixue. I wonder if he will meet Qingkuang?

Just as he finished thinking this, Qingkuang was picked away by someone, and the one who was picked for their team was Meteorite.

Mu He observed three seconds of silence for the meteorite.

Next, the fifth team to draw lots was Honghuang, and they drew Midori.

Mu He frowned: "Honghuang versus Rosemary..."

Feng Xiyan: "What are you thinking about?"

Mu He pursed his lips and said nothing.

He was thinking, if half a year ago, someone in the prehistoric world really bribed the frivolous people with money, would they repeat the same trick this time and bribe the people of Mimi?

Rosemary is about to disband, and doesn't care about winning or losing for the time being. It feels very likely.

Without waiting for Mu He to organize his words, Feng Xiyan spoke calmly, saying, "I'll remind Luanhua and the others to pay attention to the recording."

"Recording?" Mu He was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted - if Hong Huang planned to use the same trick to bribe Midge in this challenge, then the person who reminded Midge in advance would take the opportunity to record the video, and maybe there would be evidence to catch the person who bribed her.

"Okay." Mu He responded, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a draw button appeared in front of him - it was their team's turn to draw lots!

Mu He suddenly became nervous, not knowing which team he would be drawn into.

Will it be the rain stay that Yuan Yitong hopes for?

He took a deep breath, raised one hand, and pressed the button in front of him.

The names of the top eight teams scrolled quickly in the small box in front of him, and then suddenly stopped.

The name of the team that is still in the small frame is - Ye Lan!

"Wow." Mu He raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect this result.

In the last professional league, the Ye Lan team ranked fourth, second only to Chi Xue, making it a very strong team.

But because they are ranked fourth, their fame is far less than that of Chixue. I believe that Ye Lan’s captain must be very dissatisfied.

Mu He had just finished drawing the lot and before he had time to sigh, it was the turn of the Death Hymn to draw the lot - they drew Yu Su.

This is very interesting.

As players who both come from "Ghost World", what kind of sparks will be created between them?

Soon, all teams completed the draw, and the system sent the draw results to each player in the form of an announcement:

Challenge match list:

Group 1: Qingyu vs Piaoxiang

Group 2: Burning Sky vs. Spinning

Group 3: Qiansha vs. Chixue

Group 4: Meteor vs. Frivolous

Group 5: Honghuang vs Rosemary

Group 6: Langmie vs Yelan

Group 7: Anthem vs. Yusu

Group 8: Xuanyun vs Fengqi

Immediately afterwards, the system sent another announcement separately to the players in the new zone, which roughly meant that considering that the level of the players in the new zone was too low, in order to ensure fair competition, the players of the quarterfinals team would use the new zone's trumpets in the challenge match.

——Same as Mu He thought.

However, Mu He immediately thought: "Does the official help prepare the smurfs, or do the pro players prepare them themselves?"

"Official preparations? You're overthinking it." Feng Xiyan responded calmly, "Official accounts don't have that many idle accounts. Even if they did, they can't be tailored for professional players."

"That's right." Mu He responded, and suddenly realized a problem, "Those people who are grinding dungeons..."

"Well, I'm going to reveal the truth publicly." Feng Xiyan's tone was still indifferent, as if saying, "I have nothing to do with it."

Mu He raised his hands to cover his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry - poor Feixuan, the five people's small accounts had basically all been on the dungeon record. If they didn't change their accounts and directly used those five accounts to play in the competition, they would probably be scolded to death by the players in the new area.

Are public executions okay?
