Luanhua had thought her teammates would act, but she had never expected it to be so blatant.

The icicle under his feet was shattered by the Paladin's "Charge", and his figure fell from mid-air, still stubbornly releasing skills at the enemy.

The two shield guards in their team were pretending to help him block the damage, but now they actually dodged to the sides, leaving him exposed to the enemy's sight.

"Fuck?!" Mu He was so shocked that he stood up directly from the viewing platform - he had never seen "traitors" more blatant than these three people!

However, before he could curse out loud, a sigh sounded next to him:

"What the hell? A mistake?"

"What a mistake! Is there such a stupid mistake? He was obviously going for the icicle!"

"Is there something wrong with this Paladin? Which side is he on?"

"Those two shield guards are hard to describe. They haven't done anything since they came on stage. What's going on?!"

Obviously, the audience is not stupid.

Leaving aside the performance of the two shield guards, the Paladin's "charge" was clearly aimed at Luanhua, which could be seen by an outsider, not to mention the players present.

Mu He pursed his lips and sat back in his original position. Feng Xiyan glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "This is because they are forced into a corner. If Honghuang can't defeat Mi Li, not only will they not get the money, but they will also be at risk of being exposed. They can only take this risk."

"That's fine." Mu He responded sullenly, "It'll be more convincing when it's exposed this way. But..."

I hope Luanhua and the others can win.

At this time, there was only one swordsman and one paladin left on Honghuang's side, and both the squishy ones were stabbed to death by Shuying.

When they saw Luanhua falling, they immediately used their skills to damage the place where Luanhua fell.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and the two commentators who were supposed to be commenting on the game simultaneously fell into a tense silence.

However, just when Luanhua was about to collide with the skill, a red and black figure flashed by with a "whoosh", and Luanhua disappeared out of thin air!

There was a cry of surprise from the viewing stands, and then someone found Luanhua on the other side of the arena.

He was actually being held horizontally in Shuying's arms.

Obviously, it was Shuying who saved him just now.

Both of them had less than one-third of their health bars left, but neither of them showed any sign of panic.

Even Ranhua still had a nonchalant smile on her face. She waved the staff in her hand and said lightly, "It's over."

As he said this, a series of skills combo landed on the swordsman and paladin of the primitive times, seizing the opportunity to completely deplete their last bit of health before they discovered him!

The swordsman of the ancient times is dead! The Paladin is dead!

Rosemary wins!

There was silence in the stands for a few seconds, and then suddenly there was a burst of applause and cheers, even louder than during the individual matches.

The audience stood up row after row, waving their weapons and cheering for Rosemary.

The commentator finally found his voice: [Congratulations to Team Midie for defeating Honghuang 5:1 and winning the Challenger League! Oh my, this match was so thrilling, it was like 2 vs. 5!]

[Yes! Luanhua Meimeiyan and Shuying are truly the kings of 2v2. Their coordination is flawless, absolutely impeccable! In comparison, their teammates' performance is a bit hard to describe.]

This match can be considered a comeback for Luanhua Meiyan and Shuying! I believe that after this match, no one will question their competitive abilities due to their relationship!

As the explanation continued, Shuying put down the flowers in her arms.

Ranhua turned her head to look at him and smiled slightly.

At the beginning, he hugged Shuying.

At the end, Shuying hugged him.

Sometimes, they are grateful to the person who posted their relationship online, forcing them to come out publicly.

It is precisely because they have come out that they can be so intimate during the game as if it were natural.

"Luanhua is awesome! Shuying is awesome!"

Mu He mixed in with the audience, joined in the fun and shouted a few words, then sat back in his seat, grabbed Feng Xiyan's hand and shook it: "I still think Shuying is the top."

"..." Feng Xiyan looked at him helplessly. Why didn't she know he was so gossipy before? "I told you, if you want to know, go ask yourself."

Mu He: "I'm sorry...you go."

Feng Xiyan: "I feel good about it?"

Mu He: "Aren't you their financial sponsor?"

Feng Xiyan: "No."

Mu He: "Go ahead~"

Feng Xiyan: "No."

Before the two of them could push and shove each other a few more times, the next group of competition began - the next group, Lang Mie vs. Ye Lan.

Yes, they are going to play.

Before going on the court, Mu He glanced in the direction of Luanhua and the others with some concern. Before he could react, Feng Xiyan grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards the court: "They will take care of the rest. Let's focus on the game."

Mu He turned around and said "hmm".

*

Before the game started, the match list was displayed on the big screen.

Mu He looked up.

Sure enough, the professions that Ye Lan played in the three single-player battles were exactly the same as he predicted, namely: swordsman, thief, and assassin.

Then the team battle lineup is: Swordsman, Assassin, Paladin, Mage, and Priest.

As soon as he saw this profession, Mu He roughly knew who was behind these new vests.

"The one fighting me is the captain." He said, hooking Yuan Yitong's neck, "The one fighting you is the deputy captain!"

Yuan Yitong elbowed him on the waist: "I know, I got up at night to go to the toilet."

"Puff... Hahahaha!" Mu He couldn't believe what he heard. "It's Ye Qi Lanfeng, my god... If Ye Lan's deputy captain hears this, he will kill you a thousand times!"

Yuan Yitong shrugged nonchalantly, indicating that he was not afraid.

Soon, the first game began.

After Mu He stepped into the arena, he could no longer hear any sounds outside the arena and could only talk to the "Leaning on the Railing and Listening to the Rain" on the opposite side.

The captain of Ye Lan is also a talent. His main ID is "听雨听" (Pinglan Tingyu). His secondary ID simply adds a character to this ID, turning it into "听雨声 (Pinglan Tingyu Sheng)", as if he is afraid that others will not know who he is.

However, Mu He had never seen this ID in the new area, and it seemed that it was bought temporarily for the challenge competition.

I have to say that the Ye Lan team is very low-key. They ranked fourth in the last professional league and never made a fuss about it. They rarely broke the dungeon records in the new area. They look like they are not interested in competing with the world.

But they are so low-key, they don’t do dungeons or fight bosses, so where do they get the materials to make equipment?

Mu He was really curious: "Hey, hello, captain, are you using orange equipment?"

As he spoke, he clicked on the equipment information of "Leaning on the Railing and Listening to the Sound of Rain". He had just said it casually, but he never expected that his equipment was actually orange equipment. Although he had some red equipment as well, there were not many, only two pieces.

"Oh my god... If I didn't know that your guild doesn't have much inventory, I would have suspected that you were underestimating us." Mu He said this after closing the other party's equipment information.

The captain of the Ye Lan team, Ping Lan Ting Yu, faced Mu He's question with no expression on his face and was not moved at all.

Mu He felt that the captains of the current top eight teams were all quite impressive. Some were quiet like Pinglan Tingyu, while others were overbearing and tough like Tianjie Wudao.

It was just that Xiao Qingkuang back then, who mistook the captain of a team for a bandit leader...

He's good at shouting and killing. Strategy and tactics? No.

Mu He sighed secretly, he really couldn't connect the Xiao Qingkuang of the past with the Feng Xiyan of the present.

In real life, regardless of what Feng Xiyan is like in daily life, at least at work, it can be seen that she is very thoughtful and capable.

I don't know which side of my brain I lost when I was playing the game...

Just as he was thinking this, Pinglan Tingyu suddenly spoke, and his first sentence went straight to the point: "Are you Murong He?"

Mu He: ??? @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Mu He found that he was becoming more and more efficient in falling off the horse.

Why?

He feels that he hasn't done anything recently that would lead to his exposure?

Just because of a few auditions?

In professional leagues, what the players said on the field may be released after the game, so that the audience can have a clearer understanding of the game scene.

But for the challenge matches, especially the auditions before them, there weren't many spectators. Who would be so idle as to pay attention to the voice chat of the competition?

Mu He felt that if he was exposed, it could only be because of his command.

But at the auditions, even if I went to watch his competition, I wouldn't be able to hear his instructions, right?

Without waiting for Mu He to ask, Pinglan Tingyu directly gave the answer: "Awareness of the overall situation and the ability to control the situation."

Mu He: “…”

Should I say he's worthy of being Ye Lan's captain? He can tell so much from just three auditions?

Mu He didn't know whether he underestimated Pinglan Tingyu's judgment ability or overestimated his own ability to hide.

He only knew that his exposure seemed inevitable.

In that case, he didn't bother to hide it, and smiled slightly at Pinglan Tingyu: "Long time no see, did you miss me?"

Listening to the rain while leaning on the railing: "It is you indeed."

He was not sure at first, but he did not expect that Mu He would admit it directly after being tricked by him.

Listening to the Rain from the Lantern: "Ranged spells turn into melee physical combat, awesome."

Mu He: "A lot of people say that. So, can we start the fight now?"

Pinglan Tingyu did not respond, but rushed towards Mu He with sword raised!

"It started suddenly?!" Mu He said in surprise, but his eyes were fixed on Pinglan Tingyu, trying to take control and take the lead when he rushed over.

Unexpectedly, Pinglan Tingyu swung his sword and released a Moon Wheel Slash while rushing over!

Mu He had to roll to avoid it. After getting up, he slashed back with a moon wheel and then released the "Shadow Binding"!

He released this skill after predicting Pinglan Tingyu's dodging movement, so it looked like Pinglan Tingyu retreated into the attack range of the skill himself.

Pinglan Tingyu frowned - Shadow Swordsman?

So far, he has never fought against a real shadow swordsman. Even though he knew about this skill, he had no awareness to avoid it, so he fell into the trap.

Fortunately, this skill is a soft control. Pinglan Tingyu swung the sword in his hand to the ground, shaking the earth and forcibly splitting the control. Then he retreated and avoided Mu He's subsequent attack.

Mu He expected that he would use the earth-shattering attack to break the control, so he did not force the attack, retaining his skills and room for movement. When the attack failed, he retreated decisively to avoid Pinglan Tingyu's counterattack.

Pinglan Tingyu is a blood swordsman from the demon clan. The demon clan has an innate advantage in attacking and sucking blood, so Mu He cannot confront him head-on. All damage that can be avoided must be avoided.

Both of them fought extremely cautiously, and the audience in the stands were getting a little anxious:

"Go ahead! Don't retreat, go ahead!"

"What are you doing?"

"Why are you hiding? Come on!"

However, there are still players who understand and discuss with each other:

"The Blood Swordsman's endurance is stronger, while the Shadow Swordsman's base damage is too low. We have to wait for an opportunity to perform a combo to win. These two will have a hard time."

"Well, this game will last a long time, but..."

But why is "Leaning on the Railing and Listening to the Rain" always retreating?

All the audience, whether they understood or not, had a common question - how could the swordsman named Mu He fight Ye Lan's captain to a draw?!

You know, that’s Ye Lan’s captain!

Even though Ye Lan only ranked fourth in the last quarterfinals, Pinglan Tingyu himself is known as the number one blood swordsman.

So far, he has only lost to two people in singles competitions, one is the frivolous current captain Tianjie Wudao, and the other is the frivolous former captain Xiao Qingkuang.

But now, he was actually suppressed by Mu He? !

In the eyes of others, perhaps he and Mu He had fought to a draw, after all, neither of them had lost much health. However, Pinglan Tingyu, who was in the field, knew clearly how passive he was.

Every skill released by Mu He was aimed at his next move, forcing him to temporarily change his original plan and make moves that he could not even predict. However, Mu He's reaction was so fast that he could instantly predict his next move and attack based on his movements.

Pinglan Tingyu insisted on dealing with Mu He for a while, but realized that his reaction was starting to slow down, and he wanted to step back and keep some distance from Mu He.

At this moment, Mu He seized the opportunity, leaned forward, and slashed the sword at the ground - a ground-shaking blow!

It’s over!

These two words flashed through Pinglan Tingyu's mind, and before he could react, he was lifted into the air by the powerful sword energy.

Mu He caught up and released several buffs in succession, then with a "Shadow Slash", a black, illusory sword blade appeared out of thin air, and with a swing, it chopped Pinglan Tingyu, who was still in mid-air, to the ground!

Hitting multiple vital points, coupled with the buff's damage increase and defense weakening effects, this attack is almost fatal!

But Pinglan Tingyu's reaction was also quick. Before he landed on the ground, he swung his sword and slashed out a moon-wheel slash, hitting Mu He right on the spot. He relied on the blood swordsman's powerful blood-sucking ability to restore some of his health bar that was about to be emptied.

Mu He was blown away by Yuelun Zhan, turned over in the air, and landed steadily.

The distance between the two widened again, but this time, there was a very obvious contrast in their health bars - Pinglan Tingyu only had a layer of skin left that was barely saved, while Mu He only had a layer of skin injured.

The audience in the stands were stunned by this sudden change, and it took them a while to find their voices:

"Holy crap! How could this attack do so much damage?!"

"It's all about the damage stacked from buffs and passives... That's terrifying, isn't it?"

"For the first time, I felt that Shadow Swordsman was terrifying!"

Shadow Swordsman, a profession that was once neglected because it did not have many attack skills, was undoubtedly vindicated by Mu He at this moment.

What does it matter if I have few attack skills? What does it matter if my basic damage is low?

Isn't it enough if the actual damage is high?

Pinglan Tingyu looked up at his health bar and pursed his lips.

If the sword he struck on Mu He had not helped him absorb a lot of blood, he would probably be dead by now.

Tsk, this powerful predictive ability and machine-like accuracy... can we say that he is worthy of being Murong He?

Once he finds your flaw, it will be a near-death experience.

In reality, Pinglan Tingyu already knew he had no chance of winning. However, as Yelan's captain and a professional player, he couldn't afford to admit defeat. He could only move along the edge of the arena, looking for another opportunity to approach Mu He.

But Mu He didn't even look at him, looking straight ahead and letting him go around behind him.

Mu He could hear the footsteps of the man leaning on the railing to listen to the rain, and could even feel the wind created by his running.

His five senses are more sensitive than those of ordinary people.

In reality, he can feel more things, such as fragrance and temperature.

But in reality, there is too much miscellaneous information, which will affect his judgment.

In the game, after filtering out all the messy information, he can more accurately grasp everything happening around him, making his brain work faster and more easily predicting enemy attacks.

Don't forget, he is Murong He.

In team battles, he can keep track of the movements of every teammate and enemy around him while fighting, and give the most precise instructions to the entire team.

Now playing singles, he only needs to track the movements of one person.

The difficulty has dropped by more than one level.

Therefore, Mu He didn't need to turn around at all to accurately grasp the position and movement of listening to the rain from the balcony.

When Pinglan Tingyu went around behind him and rushed towards him to attack him, he suddenly turned sideways and stabbed backwards with his sword. While dodging the attack, he successfully sent the sword in his hand into the opponent's chest!

In just a short moment, a split second of confrontation, Pinglan Tingyu's health bar was empty.

Mu He won!

Listening to the rain, I watched the scene before me gradually turn gray. Just before it turned into tiny stars and disappeared from the scene, I smiled helplessly and said these four words:

"Welcome back."

Mu He was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly - why? Everyone said this to him.

It's fine if fans say that, but captains of other teams also say...

"I really don't know if you are sincere or not. I'm back, but you guys don't even have the fourth place anymore." @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Before Pinglantingyu completely disappeared, Mu He said this very rudely.

Then I successfully received 1 eye roll from the person listening to the rain.

The others couldn't hear their conversation, only the commentator's incredulous voice: "Mu He won! Langmie's Mu He defeated Ye Lan's captain and won the first game! This is unbelievable!"

[But Pinglantingyusheng's account was only level 39, and all his equipment was orange, so his loss was understandable, right?]

[As for the challenge, entertainment comes first, competition comes second!]

It can be heard that the commentator is trying very hard to restore the reputation of Ye Lan's captain.

But the audience on the spectator stand are not fools, and they all have their own judgment:

"The level and equipment are indeed a bit different, but their agility is about the same. Pinglan Tingyu's skills are obviously suppressed by that Mu He."

"Yes, it became more and more obvious in the later stages. In the early stages, it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, but in the later stages, the rhythm was completely controlled by the swordsman named Mu He."

"Muhe——What is the origin of this person?"

After Mu He left the arena, he went to find Feng Xiyan.

The first thing I said when I saw him was, "How did I play?"

Feng Xiyan of course had to praise: "Amazing!"

Mu He: "How is it so powerful?"

Feng Xiyan: "First-rate skills, graceful movement, god-level prediction, precise combos, invincible in the world, no one can compete with him."

Mu He: "...Where did you see that rainbow fart?"

Feng Xiyan: "Online."

Mu He raised his hands to cover his eyes.

He wondered how Feng Xiyan could possibly blow such a smug and exaggerated boast. It turned out that he had seen it on the Internet.

However, Feng Xiyan admitted it as soon as he asked her. She really... had no desire to survive.

Okay, if I have a strong desire to survive, I wouldn’t be Feng Xiyan.

Mu He didn't care and asked something else: "Is my fighting style very recognizable?"

When Feng Xiyan heard this, he immediately guessed what had happened: "Was he recognized by Pinglan Tingyu?"

"Yeah." Mu He shrugged. "I thought I hid it well. After all, I used to play a ranged magic class with very low agility, so I didn't have a chance to show my skills at all."

@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"It's not a matter of skill." Feng Xiyan responded, "Before you played the swordsman, no one had ever seen your skills, but your team awareness and ability to control the situation are unmatched by others."

"Team awareness and control ability..." Mu He repeated, thinking about the auditions when he really made the opposing team run around in circles.

Is this the reason why he was exposed?

Knowing what he was thinking, Feng Xiyan patted his shoulder helplessly: "Some things may be easy for you, so you don't pay attention to them, but for others, these abilities are unique to you, and they will never be able to master them in their lifetime."

"Hmm." Mu He blinked, as if he understood.

He suddenly remembered that when this account of his had just returned to Yuling, he was being chased and killed five people in one breath. Was Feng Xiyan there at that time?

So, from that time on, Feng Xiyan had already vaguely guessed his identity?

No wonder I had to fight him for no apparent reason afterwards. Was it to further confirm it?

And he didn't realize he was laughing frivolously until the second time he PKed with him...

"But I still won." Mu He suddenly said.

Feng Xiyan raised his eyebrows and expressed confusion with his eyes - what did he win?

Mu He: "I'll take off your vest first!"

Feng Xiyan: "..."

Mu He: "So what if you noticed it before me? Wasn't it me who took off your vest first in the end?"

Feng Xiyan: "...Yeah, that's right."

Mu He: “So I win!”

"Well, you win." Feng Xiyan said, feeling a little amused.

Sometimes, he really couldn't understand Mu He's focus. This man always seemed to focus on unimportant things and ignore the really important things.

Shouldn't the point be that his style is so distinct that he's easily exposed? Why did it suddenly become a question of who gets to reveal whose identity first?

And when he retired from the entertainment industry, shouldn't the focus be on his teammates' betrayal and the six months he wasted? Why does it seem like the only thing he really cares about is his attitude towards him?

But, never mind.

As long as he is by her side, Feng Xiyan doesn't care about anything.

Anyway, the praise was enough: "Really amazing—eagle eyes, swift and decisive, quick and efficient... I can't make it up anymore, I'll check it out online."

Mu He: "Hey!"

What should I do if my boyfriend has no desire to live? Waiting online, urgent.
