Chapter 67
The moment Mu He decided to return to the competitive circle, he was ready to confront Qing Kuang, but he didn't expect it to happen so early.
——Shouldn’t destined enemies always fight each other in the end?
But it doesn’t matter. I’ll get beaten sooner or later.
Among the four teams in Group D, there is only one team that made it to the quarterfinals, which can be considered as official care for them.
Mu He clicked on the information of the other two teams and took a look.
He had an impression of Qingyu. After all, they were the same team that advanced to the challenge tournament as Langmie. He remembered that their opponent in the challenge tournament was Piaoxiang, and they were almost completely defeated by Piaoxiang. Unexpectedly, they still participated in the preliminaries without giving up.
Since they were able to stand out from the preliminaries again, it shows that the Qingyu team is strong.
Although they lost to Piaoxiang, the victory or defeat between the two teams is still determined by factors such as professional restraint, racial restraint, and tactical restraint, and it is not possible to hastily judge who is stronger or weaker.
Then the Cangkong team is a new team that emerged from the qualifiers this season and is considered a dark horse.
Mu He had never watched their game, so he didn't know how strong this team was.
Anyway…
"Tomorrow we will fight Qingyu first, then Cangqiong, and finally Qingkuang." Mu He shared the system message in the team.
Hearing the arrogance, Yuan Yitong couldn't help but laugh and said, "We're in the same group with the last year's champion. We're pretty lucky, aren't we?"
Feng Xiyan didn't care: "It doesn't matter who we fight, we will win."
Mu He glared at him, but when he saw his frivolous face, his temper instantly disappeared. He sighed secretly and continued, "Let me study the lineups of Qingyu and Cangqiong, and then I will post the battle roster in the group."
Feng Xiyan: "Well, it's up to you to decide."
What he meant was that you don’t even have to post it in the group, you can just submit it directly.
In the past, when they were still frivolous, Murong He was fully responsible for the battle plan, and he didn't need to ask for anyone's opinion at all.
But this time, facing the team he created, Mu He cherishes every member of the team and hopes to take everyone's feelings into consideration.
So, after logging off, he still did as he said and posted the scheduled battle schedule to the group:
1v1: Laughing frivolously
2v2: Enchanting Flowers, Sparse Shadows
3v3: Waltz, Kill the Sky, Beacon Fire Game
5v5: Xiao Qingkuang, Murong He, Luanhua Mimiyan, Shuying, Huijin
Bai Zhuo trembled with fear when he saw his name on the battle list - I'm fighting in a team battle with four great players...
The same player can only play twice at most, and cannot participate in 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 matches repeatedly.
Even so, there are still many people who can participate in team battles, including Yuan Yitong, Fan Shu, and Luo Jian.
Why did you choose him...
Bai Zhuo looked at this lineup and always felt like he was forced in.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask in the group.
Leng Yan Jin Mie: Can I ask why you let me play 5v5?
Leng Yan Jinmie: Well, it’s not that I don’t want to fight, nor do I want to fight anything else, but I know my own strength...
Leng Yan Jinmie: Actually, what I want to say is that as long as we can win the game, it doesn’t matter if I am not allowed to play.
Mu He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would have such an idea. He quickly typed a line of words to comfort him.
Mu He: I'm overthinking it. I just think this lineup is the most suitable. We don't have a frontline, so don't count on Xiao Qingkuang to take damage. He's only responsible for killing and doesn't care about the lives of his teammates. So I need a class with higher health to protect our APC, which means Luanhua.
Leng Yan Jinmie: Oh oh oh, so that’s how it is.
Mu He: Yeah, your job is to protect the mage. Xiao Qingkuang is responsible for physical damage, Luanhua is responsible for spell damage, and Shuying is responsible for collecting kills. I will be responsible for support and command. I will tell you how to fight when the time comes, so don't worry.
With Mu He's words, Bai Zhuo was completely relieved and suddenly felt like he didn't need to worry about anything.
After all, the one in charge of commanding him was Murong He, the number one priest of Yuling!
Then at this time, he saw Xiao Qingkuang, the number one swordsman of Yu Ling, silently bubbled up a bubble and sent an emoticon of a black question mark.
Suifeng: I still care about the life and death of my teammates.
It turned out that he was dissatisfied with Mu He's evaluation of him.
Of course, Mu He did not accept his rebuttal.
Mu He: Can you look through your previous battle videos and say it again with all your conscience?
Suifeng: I didn’t care before, but now I do (乖巧.jpg)
Mu He: I don’t believe it (tsundere face.jpg)
Suifeng: Look at my performance (serious face.jpg)
Suifeng: Even if I don’t care about others, I will definitely not care about you (mmmmm.jpg)
Mu He:......
Flowers are dazzling: (Fuck showing affection again, goodbye.jpg)
Shuying: (Fuck showing affection again, goodbye.jpg)
Yuantong: (Fuck showing affection again, goodbye.jpg)
…
Just like that, "A group of wolves are destroyed" was flooded with this emoticon package again.
Bai Zhuo kept his formation, copied and pasted, and sent this emoticon package, feeling both amused and helpless.
Suddenly I feel that the frivolous and arrogant God who likes to use emoticons is a bit silly...
*
Soon, the day of the competition arrived.
The match between Langmie and Qingyu will be at 9 am, the match against Cangkong will be at 1 pm, and the match against Qingkuang will be at 8 pm - I don't know if the organizers took into account that many people will go to watch the games between these two teams, so they deliberately gave them a time period with the highest player traffic.
However, when the competition really started, everyone, including the organizers, was dumbfounded.
Not to mention the match between Langmie and Qingkuang, the viewing platform for the match between Langmie and Qingyu extended to dozens of floors, and there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people logging into the game and coming to the scene.
Mu He didn't expect that their team would be so popular, but when he thought about it carefully, it was understandable.
Although he and Feng Xiyan have retired from the entertainment industry for half a year, no one has been able to shake their status as the number one priest and the number one swordsman during this period of time. Therefore, there will always be people who watch their videos, respect them as gods, and become their new fans.
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Coupled with the support of the entire Langmie Guild in the new area, the return of old fans, the resurrection of Guijie fans, and the migration of Rosemary fans - their number of fans is indeed terrifying, and it can even be said that they are the team with the most fans among all the participating teams.
An old team in a new skin, a god-level team that brings together the top players from "Ghost World" and "Imperial Spirit".
Even before the game started, the official of the sixth professional league of "Yu Ling" directly used Langmie for promotion, and the promotional title was four words: The God Returns!
*
[Hello everyone, I am the commentator Ayu! ]
[Hello everyone, I am commentator Yan Ling! ]
"It's an honor to commentate on this match between Langmie and Qingyu!" Ayu, the male commentator, was probably influenced by the atmosphere; his voice was trembling with excitement before the match even began. "I really didn't expect Xiao Qingkuang and Murong He to return! One of them created a legend of undefeated single combat, and the other brought the priest's role to its peak. They undoubtedly hold an irreplaceable place in the hearts of many Yuling players!"
[Yes!] Yan Ling was a female commentator, her image as a busty beauty particularly eye-catching. Her job was mainly to supplement what A Yu said. [Besides the First Swordsman and the First Priest, the other members of Langmie were also not to be underestimated. Whether it was the captain and vice-captain of Midori, or the once famous Waltz in the ghost world, they all brought a lot of attention to Langmie. No wonder so many people came to the scene!]
After introducing Langmie, of course we have to introduce their opponents next.
A Yu: [Langmie's opponent in this match is Qingyu. Qingyu is truly a very tenacious team! They've participated in two consecutive challenge tournaments and qualifiers, and each time they've managed to advance to the group stage, but each time they've been eliminated at the crucial moment, falling short.]
Yan Ling: [Hahaha! I can't tell if you're praising or insulting me. Qingyu really is someone who keeps fighting despite repeated defeats! Regardless of whether they advance to the ranking tournament this time, their competitive spirit deserves recognition!]
A Yu: [Alright, now we can see that the first 1v1 players have entered the arena!]
Yan Ling: [Langmie Team's Xiao Qingkuang versus the captain of Qingyu Team—Yu Luo Qingguang!]
A Yu: [Both are Berserkers, so it's all about skill. Although as a commentator I want to be fair and impartial, I still want to say... in a battle of skill, will Xiao Qingkuang lose?]
Yan Ling: [Hahaha, don’t be like that!]
Compared with female commentators, male commentators are always more outspoken and are not afraid of offending people.
However, although Ayu spoke more bluntly, almost no one present thought there was anything wrong with what he said.
Some viewers even shouted out, "Laughing and frivolous will win!"
Mu He was not worried about Feng Xiyan's match at all. Rather, in the 1v1 segment, Xiao Qingkuang had never let him down.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Feng Xiyan was too lazy to wait for the opponent to make a move and rushed towards him directly.
The opponent wanted to use a ground-shaking attack, but before his sword touched the ground, it was picked up by the sword in Feng Xiyan's hand, followed by a forward stab!
Not only did he fail to use his skills, but he was also knocked away by the sword energy. The captain of Qingyu was in despair.
When he was arranging the battle schedule, he knew that Langmie would definitely let Xiao Qingkuang play 1v1, so he arranged himself into the 1v1.
It’s not that he thinks he can beat Xiao Qingkuang, but he thinks that his mental quality is pretty good - he is worried that his teammates will become autistic after being beaten by Xiao Qingkuang, thus affecting the final team battle.
Qingyu is different from other teams. There are only six members, and they cannot be used as cannon fodder.
Not to mention, letting cannon fodder go out on the field to be abused is disrespectful to both the opponent and the members of your own team.
But Yu Luo Qingguang still underestimated Xiao Qingkuang's power of cruelty - this great god didn't have the broad mind that a great god should have, and he was ruthless in battle, and every move was deadly!
Yu Luoqingguang was knocked away by the sword energy and slid backward for a long distance. Before he could stand firm, Xiao Qingkuang rushed over and chopped him down on the head.
What followed was basically him being abused unilaterally, and he was beaten by Xiao Qingkuang without being able to fight back.
All the moves were detected, cracked and counterattacked in advance by the opponent, forcing them to retreat again and again!
The commentator was also stunned by the one-sided situation. He didn't know how to explain it and could only keep blowing rainbow farts:
A Yu: [See?! This is Xiao Qingkuang! Yuling's number one swordsman! The undefeated legend!]
Yan Ling: [Xiao Qingkuang is truly amazing! After retiring for half a year, his skills haven't shown any signs of decline!]
Mu He was also embarrassed by the commentator's mindless praise, and said helplessly: "Basic operation, sit down, everyone sit down."
Soon, the winner of the first 1v1 match was decided, and it was undoubtedly Xiao Qingkuang's victory!
But he still achieved a result that shocked everyone - he was not hurt at all by the opponent throughout the whole process, an absolute victory!
Throughout the entire game, Qingyu's captain was being beaten unilaterally. In the early stages, you could still see him struggling, but in the later stages, he seemed to have lost some fighting spirit.
——Became autistic.
Yu Luo Qingguang had to admit that he had overestimated his psychological quality. @无限好文,全在Jinjiang文城
However, what he didn't know was that this was actually part of Mu He's tactics.
Xiao Qingkuang has such explosive fighting power, why not let him play 3v3 to compete for more points, but put him in 1v1?
It's just to show momentum and create deterrence!
A 1v1 game made all of you become withdrawn, and you're still worried about losing the next game?
While Mu He was secretly delighted, he couldn't help but complain in his heart about the other captain's lineup ideas.
He guessed that Yu Luo Qingguang wanted to take on the pressure that his teammates were afraid to take on in order to ensure their performance in the team battle, but he was the captain after all.
——Seeing their captain being beaten so badly, how good could the morale of the entire team be?
Sure enough, in the next 2v2 match, facing the attacks of Luanhua Meimeiyan and Shuying, Qingyu's side played passively and weakly. The players made frequent mistakes, the skill hit rate was terribly low, and their performance was not even as good as in the challenge match.
Even though Qingyu's captain kept comforting his teammates and told them not to worry, losing 1v1 and 2v2 would only mean losing 3 points, there were still 3v3 and 5v5.
However, thinking that there was not only Xiao Qingkuang but also Murong He in the 5v5, Qingyu's morale could not be raised at all.
In the third 3v3 match, all members of Qingyu were controlled to death by Yuan Yitong. From the beginning to the final outcome, they were almost controlled to stay in place without moving, so that Fan Shu and Luo Jian could not release their combos anymore!
[This is completely one-sided!] Even the commentator couldn't help but sigh, "Langmie is indeed Langmie. This team name is absolutely right. With this fierce attack, not even Qingkuang can withstand it, let alone Qingyu!"
Yan Ling echoed, "Team Qingkuang has won three consecutive league championships, two of which were thanks to Xiao Qingkuang and Murong He! Although Langmie is a new team that just appeared this season, it's already a championship candidate! It's really hard to say who will win the league championship this time!"
Ayu: [I'm really looking forward to the match between Langmie and Qingkuang tonight! ]
Yan Ling: [Yes! I'm really looking forward to it! The outcome of these two teams will likely determine the final champion of this league!]
As they were talking, the final 5v5 team battle between Langmie and Qingyu began.
Qingyu was beaten three times in a row by Langmie, and all members were beaten, so much so that now everyone is in autism.
After Mu He came on the court, he looked at the pale faces on the opposite side and felt a little amused and helpless. He felt that they could win this game without any need for his command.
He really didn't give any orders. He just kept giving Xiao Qingkuang health and buffs. As long as he could keep him alive, no one on Qingyu's side could get past him and attack the rest of their team.
Mu He stood beautifully behind Xiao Qingkuang, acting as a beautiful "vase", and her mood couldn't be happier~
I almost forgot that it was because of my “calmness” that I was called a scoundrel...
With his assistance, half a year later, Xiao Qingkuang once again achieved "one against five", bringing the atmosphere on the scene to a climax!
Not only the scene was overwhelmed, but all the live streaming platforms were also overwhelmed - people watching the game on various live streaming platforms were excitedly scrolling through the comments in front of their computers, and the speed of their hands could not keep up with the speed of their brains!
【Laughing frivolously and awesome! 】
【Your grandpa is still your grandpa! 】
【Aaaaaaah! The once-in-a-lifetime series!】
[Really, if I could see these two fighting side by side again, I would die without regrets!]
Just like the fans of Luanhua and Shuying, there are also many CP fans among the fans of Xiao Qingkuang and Muronghe.
However, Xiao Qingkuang and Murong He never made their relationship public, and they rarely had intimate interactions on the court - let alone hugging each other like Luanhua and Shuying, they didn't even make eye contact.
Therefore, out of respect for the two, most of their CP fans support them silently, forming a small circle to have fun within, and calling it "comradeship" to the outside world.
However, the situation was reversed when Langmie wiped out Qingyu and won the 5v5 team battle.
——Xiao Qingkuang turned around and walked to Murong He in front of everyone present. In his somewhat confused vision, he picked him up and spun around in place.
Mu He:?
Barrage: 【!!!!!!!!!】
Okay, this time, Weibo is really down.
The live broadcasts on some live streaming platforms went straight to a black screen, and for the few that survived and opened the barrage, the entire screen was filled with exclamation marks.
[Holy shit! What did I see?!]
【Officially announced?! 】
【Ahhhhhh! Welfare for CP fans! 】
[Wait! Are these two serious?!]
Mu He hadn't reacted when he was picked up, and by the time he reacted, Feng Xiyan had already finished spinning.
Mu He was put back on the ground and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He glared at Feng Xiyan, but after meeting Feng Xiyan's gaze, or more precisely, his "laughing and frivolous" gaze, his expression suddenly relaxed and he smiled helplessly: "What?"
Feng Xiyan looked at him and said seriously: "Let everyone know how important you are to me. I can't live without you."
——Whether on the field or in life.
Mu He was also convinced: "No, you think too much, you will only make people question our relationship."
"It's not 'questioning', it's 'discovering'." Feng Xiyan corrected, "Our relationship is real."
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Mu He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He felt that Feng Xiyan was really hopeless in some aspects.
Yes, he can't even handle his interpersonal relationships in real life, so how can he understand what netizens think?
But, never mind.
Mu He looked at Xiao Qingkuang's face and suddenly felt that nothing mattered.
——With him by my side, I am not afraid of anything.
He raised the silver cross in his hand, kissed it, then put the kiss mark on the cross against Feng Xiyan's lips and pressed it.
The place where he kissed touched Feng Xiyan's lips.
An indirect kiss.
In front of so many people, Mu He didn't have the face to kiss him, so she wanted to announce to the world in this way - we are real. We are really together.
Feng Xiyan and Mu He looked at each other for a while, then raised one hand to hold his wrist, but instead of taking his hand away from her lips, she adjusted the direction and gently kissed the back of his hand.
The interaction between the two is already very clear.
For a moment, the commentator forgot to speak, the audience forgot to cheer, the whole world seemed to be frozen, and the light on the field shone only for these two people.
Many years later, this scene still echoes in the hearts of many people.
In their hearts, this is the most touching and beautiful moment in "The Imperial Spirit".
*
After the match with Qingyu ended, the members of Langmie went offline one after another.
After Mu He went offline, he buried himself with a quilt - he felt too ashamed to face this world anymore!
Feng Xiyan looked at him with amusement, and finally dug him out from under the quilt after digging for a long time: "Are you going to have lunch or not?"
Mu He nestled in his arms, his mind full of the scene of Xiao Qingkuang kissing the back of his hand, making him still a little dizzy: "...What?"
Feng Xiyan responded patiently: "You had breakfast early today, are you hungry now?"
Mu He's stomach growled, "Not bad."
Feng Xiyan felt a little amused and touched his back soothingly: "I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out for dinner... Forget it, I'll call the chef to come over."
Mu He said "hmm".
Feng Xiyan: "Online now..."
Mu He leaned back, fell back onto the bed, and buried himself in the quilt again.
Feng Xiyan thought his reaction was a little cute and couldn't help laughing twice, then said helplessly: "There are more positive comments than negative comments, and almost all of them are blessings. You don't have to take it too seriously."
Mu He hummed in response.
He was also convinced by himself. He was the one who decided to make it clear and public, and now he was also the one who was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl to the other side of the earth.
But he also knew that he couldn't keep wasting time like this - he still had a game in the afternoon!
Thinking of this, Mu He finally mustered up the courage to crawl out of the quilt again and leaned on Feng Xiyan: "I don't want to know what people on the Internet think about this matter, so don't mention it."
Feng Xiyan put her arm around his waist to prevent him from sliding off her again: "Okay, let's not talk about it."
Mu He: "I suddenly want to eat takoyaki."
Feng Xiyan: "Okay, I'll order takeout."
"Before that, kiss me first?" Mu He said, blinking.
Feng Xiyan couldn't help but laugh, lowered her head and kissed him, but this time it was just a light kiss, and then she kissed him on the forehead again: "Okay, get up and walk around, dear."
Mu He clicked his tongue, dissatisfied with his overly "perfunctory" kiss and the "good boy" he said like coaxing a child, but in the end he said nothing and got out of bed obediently.
Ever since the two of them started their main characters and met in the game, they have become more patient with each other.
Feng Xiyan was gentler to him than before.
His tolerance for Feng Xiyan is also much greater than before.
My relationship was going much better and the competition went exceptionally smoothly.
Thinking of this, Mu He's mood suddenly became very good, and he felt that he was a winner in life.
This joy made Mu He even learn the coquettishness that he had never been able to learn: "Xi Yan, I want to go to the living room to watch TV, carry me~"
"You don't have legs?" Feng Xiyan complained, but still picked Mu He up horizontally.
He wished Mu He would hang on him all day long: "You are too light, eat more."
Mu He: "What? You want to fatten me up and then kill me and eat me?"
Feng Xiyan: "Well, it's more comfortable to sleep when you're fatter."
Mu He: "...get out."
Feng Xiyan: "I'm holding you, it's not convenient."
Mu He: "Take me with you."
Feng Xiyan: "Good idea."
