The King's Return

The first game in the afternoon is the duel between Li Muran, Shen He, Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun in Group E.On the way to the competition venue, Qin Mo browsed the official website and looked at the statistical results of the pre-match quiz. 90% of the netizens who guessed that Dynasty Chujianxin Sangjun team won were as high as [-]%. This support rate is also relatively objective. Chujianxin is currently the only league In the first front row, Sang Jun's single-point breakthrough ability is not trivial. After the two of them are combined, they will show the power of "one plus one is greater than two"-with Chu Jianxin's protection, Sang Jun's output will be greatly improved .

As for the combination of Shen He and Li Muran, although Shen He has some talent and Li Muran is relatively calm, both of them are rookies with little experience in competitions. When they meet such great players as Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun, their winning percentage is indeed not high. .Qin Mo didn't expect Shen He to win this competition either, he just hoped to see Shen He and Li Muran grow up.

Seeing Qin Mo browsing the official website, Xiao Han couldn't help coming over and asking, "Did you guide Shen He before the game?"

Qin Mo said, "No."

Xiao Han was puzzled: "In terms of cheat book matching, map selection, and tactical layout, don't you help Shen He's staff?"

Qin Mo said calmly: "I am his master, not his nanny. If my master needs to help him figure out everything, what use is his brain?"

Xiao Han couldn't help smiling when he heard this sentence: "That's true."

Xiao Mo's poisonous tongue is really getting worse.

Qin Mo is a very responsible and strict master. He taught Shen He the summoner's style of play and how to deal with various situations in the game. In the individual stage, he also personally guided Shen He and assisted Shen He to enter reached the top sixteen.However, during the two-player competition, Qin Mo didn't want to help Shen He as an advisor anymore. He hoped that the little apprentice could become self-reliant as soon as possible instead of relying on him as a master for everything.

If he, the master, did everything by himself and helped Shen He think everything over, then Shen He would never be able to be alone.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the live broadcast platform officially opened, and Ye Chao and Liang Ru routinely introduced the players of both sides.

This is Li Muran's first appearance in this competition, so Ye Chao introduced a few more words: "This year, Li Muran is the healer of the Mo Jue team. It should be a player who takes the route of 'cooling and violent doctor'. This player has not appeared in previous games, and today is his first show since his debut, which is of great significance."

Liang Ru followed closely and said, "Shen He, who is partnering with him, has the additional attribute of the weapon 'Linglong Orb' which also reduces the cooldown. From the perspective of equipment, the combination of the two is very coordinated. They should use quick healing and quick summoning of pets to control the field. However, it is still very difficult for them to win the first match against the Dynasty team’s team combination.”

Ye Chao nodded: "Sang Jun's personal strength is very strong. He won the championship of the Iron Claw genre in the martial art group arena. The weapon 'Blood Hand' has a bleeding effect. The Hanshen’s is much worse, but the outbreak of the Hanshen is to burst out a lot of damage in an instant, while Sang Jun’s output is continuous, and the superposition of the bleeding effect will make the opponent very uncomfortable.”

Liang Rudao: "Fortunately, Shen He brought his daddy, even if the bleeding state is superimposed on his body, he can still recover blood slowly through treatment."

Ye Chao said calmly: "The premise is that the treatment can give him a chance to recover blood."

Since Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun have matched up with a healing combination, they will definitely try to interfere with the healing. It is still unknown whether Li Muran can add blood to Shen He in time when the opponent interferes.

With the lights on the big stage, the game finally officially began.

After the preparations, the players from both sides voted separately under the referee's order. Chu Jianxin voted for a higher number of points and chose the map first.

The map he chose was very simple - Mingzhou Grand Challenge Arena.

This map has no obstacles, and summoners are better at relying on obstacles to attack. Chu Jianxin chose such a map to fight head-on, obviously because he didn't want to drag the rhythm with Shen He.

At the start of the match, the two sides refreshed in the arena, Chu Jianxin walked in front carrying a big sword, and Sang Jun followed closely behind, and the two quickly rushed to Shen He's front with light kung fu.

The other party came too fast!

Shen He was startled, and immediately summoned the mechanism blood bull to resist the damage. However, his blood bull was almost vulnerable to the joint output of the opponent.

——Splitting mountains and towns!

Chu Jianxin smashed the big knife head-on, although the blood loss was not much, but the visual effect was extremely shocking.

——Wind Chasing Claw, Soul Locking Claw!

Sang Jun's explosive power is quite terrifying. With the two single-target attack skills and the bleeding effect attached to the weapon "Blood Hand", Shen He's mechanism was instantly shattered.

Without the existence of the mechanism cow, Shen He immediately became the target of the fire.

——Sweeping all over the world!

The broadsword in Chu Jian's hands swept across a 360-degree range around him, sweeping Shen He and Li Muran to the ground.

Sang Jun followed immediately, and the iron claws in his hands slammed into the summoner's chest!

——Sura Claw, Golden Rainbow Ghost Claw!

Shen He's blood volume was reduced to 60% by the two of them in an instant, and he still had two layers of bleeding on his body.Li Muran reacted very quickly, driving the Fangcaotang light kung fu and jumping back quickly to open the distance, the golden needle in his hand was running at the same time, a single-body first aid move of "pulse diagnosis with silk" directly returned Shen He's blood to 90%, and then "moxibustion God" The blood-increasing buff of the "needle" quickly stacked up to five layers!

It's good to bring the baby daddy, and Shen He quickly recovered to full blood.

However, as soon as Li Muran finished using the blood-boosting skills, Chu Jianxin jumped in front of him and slashed at him with a big knife in his hand!

The output of Crazy Saber Sect's big sword is not high, so there is no difference between flat cutting and tickling - but the key point is that many healing skills need to be read. Chu Jianxin's close-up and flat cutting will destroy all of Li Muran's reading skills. break!

It is quite a headache to be chased and slashed by close combat. Most of the blood-increasing skills cannot be read, and only two or three instant skills that consume a lot of mana can save the field. This is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Shen He wanted to turn around and help, but unfortunately, Sang Jun immediately stepped forward to entangle him, and Shen He couldn't get away for a moment.

***

At the backstage of the game, Xiao Han, who saw this scene, couldn't help but regretfully said: "Xiaohe played too passively."

Qin Mo said with a calm expression: "Summoner encounters two melee combat, if he doesn't take the lead in the beginning to control the opponent, he has already lost half of the battle."

If it is Qin Mo, he will definitely rely on the advantage of long attack distance to summon a large number of pets to control Chu Jianxin at the beginning of the game. Jianxin came close to interfere with the treatment, and flew a kite from a long distance with the treatment himself, and he could slowly kill one of the opponents, establishing a numerical advantage and forming a two-on-one situation.

But obviously, Shen He was slow to react just now, and was killed by the opponent. Probably the identity of the opponent's great god put Shen He under some pressure. He did not take the initiative to attack at the beginning of the game. Instead, he summoned the defensive pet mechanism cow to resist the damage——Qin Mo The phrase "lose half at the beginning" is indeed objective.

Xiao Han said: "The first team obviously wanted to make a quick decision in this game, and Shen He missed the opportunity."

Qin Mo frowned: "Xiaohe's overall view is too bad."

When Xiao Han heard Qin Mo's words, he couldn't help but smile, thinking, after this game, the little monkey will probably be severely scolded by the master!

***

In the first round of the game, Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun interfered with the treatment, and played output with the other, using the method of "split separately" to divide the combination of Shen He and Li Muran.

While Li Muran was being disturbed, he relied on a few quick-fire skills to save Shen He's life. However, when Shen He forcibly used his big move, the Eagle, to kill Sang Jun in seconds, Chu Jianxin, who had been interfering with the treatment, suddenly made a Exquisite operation - Fragrance from the Sea of ​​Blood!Don't move like a mountain!

The first skill, forcibly absorbs all the damage to oneself; the second skill, reflects all the damage of oneself to the opponent.

Chu Jianxin's damage-absorbing + anti-injury operation at the critical moment allowed Shen He to hit himself with every drop of his trap eagle air attack!

Sang Jun followed closely and decisively hit the critical strike of "Spiritual Snake Ghost Claw", directly taking away Shen He, who was injured to the point of residual blood!

Looking at the gray screen in front of him, Shen He felt a little dazed - the pace of this round was too fast, it only took 5 minutes from the beginning to the end, and the close combat between Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun made it difficult for Shen He to release the pets. The field control is so messy that it is almost impossible to watch.

Sensing that Shen He was in a daze, Li Muran said in a low voice: "Don't mind, let's play hard on the obstacle map in the next round."

Shen He came back to his senses, immediately adjusted his mentality, rubbed his hands and said: "The square map is too difficult to play, the next round of Stone Forest, wait for me to kill them with a kite!"

Stone Forest should be regarded as Shen He's "lucky map". He once defeated Xu Sizhe on this map, and used this map to win many times in individual competitions.

A large number of stone pillars in the map will block the opponent's line of sight, and Shen He can rely on the terrain advantage to continuously summon pets to control the opponent.

The second game officially started. As soon as the game started, Shen He and Li Muran came to the middle of the map, hid behind a boulder, and summoned the mechanism mouse in advance.After a while, the swordsman in red appeared in the field of vision, Shen He immediately manipulated the mechanism mouse to bite him out of the third layer of weakness, and at the same time surrounded and killed the mechanism chariots that had been arranged earlier from all directions!

With a "boom", the mechanism exploded, and even a thick-skinned swordsman lost 20% of his health in an instant when he was weak!

Shen He's hands were fast, and he continued to summon the Mechanism Snake to entangle and attack the opponent. Taking advantage of the few seconds of weakness, Chu Jianxin's blood pressure was reduced to 60% in one breath!

At the moment when he wanted to continue summoning pets, the assassin in black suddenly teleported behind Healer, and attacked Li Muran with a set of fierce attacks - Chasing Wind Claw, Soul Claw, Spirit Snake Ghost Claw!

This set of explosion directly hit Li Muran's blood volume to half, and Li Muran decisively used the single-player first aid skill to restore his blood to full.

But right after, Chu Jianxin actually charged in front of Li Muran with a sword in his hands!

In the last round, the two lost Shen He first, but in this round, the two changed their tactics and teamed up to kill the healer first!

Shen He realized something was wrong, and immediately summoned the mechanism horse to fear the opponent.

But at this moment, a soft green light effect suddenly appeared on Sang Jun's body - it was the control secret book "Pure Heart Art", which instantly cleared the state of fear.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jianxin developed a cheat skill - "Lingshu Heart Sutra".

There are two cheat books of Yaowanggu, among which "Suwen Heart Sutra" is a very powerful team healing cheat, while "Lingshu Heart Sutra" has the opposite effect - abolishing all healing effects for 3 seconds.

All healing effects will be abolished in 3 seconds, which means that Li Muran will be in a dangerous state of being unable to heal himself in the next 3 seconds!

Shen He was even more anxious, and directly summoned the organ eagle to launch an air strike. The damage of this big move was very strong, and the blood of Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun were hit to 50% and 70% respectively!

Immediately afterwards, Shen He opened the cheat book "Eight Gates Golden Lock" - this is a cheat book commonly used by the Zhuge family's tricks. It arranges a huge trick array and continuously shoots crossbow arrows from eight directions to attack the enemy within the range. , this is a high-damage group attack skill with a full-screen range attack, and the damage caused by the group attack is also considerable.

Two consecutive super big moves, Chu Jianxin's blood volume dropped to 30%, and Sang Jun's blood volume dropped to 50%.

Shen He's outburst was quite powerful, but he still couldn't save Li Muran.

During the 3 seconds to abolish the healing effect, Sang Jun and Chu Jianxin teamed up to deal huge damage, and Li Muran's HP had dropped to 40%!

Finally, 3 seconds passed, and Li Muran was about to use the instant boost skill to restore blood to himself, but Chu Jianxin suddenly played "Sweeping Eight Wastes" and knocked Li Muran to the ground.

The 2-second dizziness after the knockdown made Li Muran unable to use the blood-boosting skills. Li Muran decisively used the "strengthening the body and dispelling the evil" to clear the stun state. However, Sang Jun kept up with the "Purgatory Ghost Claw"— - Fear the target for 3 seconds while dealing damage, and Li Muran was arrested again.

Ye Chao couldn't help but praised: "Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun played a seamless joint control. Li Muran only has one anti-control skill. He can solve the first one, but he can't solve the second one."

Liang Ru nodded: "It seems that the goal of the two teaming up to kill and heal is very clear."

Generally speaking, healers are very difficult to die in duels, which is why Li Muran survived for a long time in the last round.However, in the state where two opponents jointly controlled and concentrated fire, the treatment would be very dangerous. What's more, Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun cooperated tacitly and seamlessly controlled the brainwave synchronization, making it impossible for Li Muran to give Add blood yourself!

From the cheats of abolishing the treatment to the seamless continuous control, Li Muran couldn't add blood to himself for too long. Sang Jun broke out and defeated Li Muran in a blink of an eye.

When Li Muran died, Shen He was full of health and had about 60% mana.

Shen He immediately turned around and ran away, relying on the terrain advantage to control the field from a long distance to fight attrition. However, in the two-on-one situation, it was still very difficult for him to open a breakthrough.

Under the cover of Chu Jianxin, Sang Jun quickly found Shen He's position and interfered with his pet call. Although Shen He's last attack killed the bloody Chu Jianxin, he himself paid a huge price. Shen He, who had lost half of his blood, faced Sang Jun, who was full of blood, and finally fell helplessly under the opponent's iron claws.

At the end of the game, Shen He couldn't help but feel a little sad. He was already prepared to lose, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly.

In the first game, the opponent's home court was under pressure, and it can also be said that the map was not easy to play.But in the second game, his own home field was obviously favorable terrain, but his opponent completely disrupted the rhythm. During the game, Shen He always felt powerless when he was being led away by the opponent. He could only passively deal with the opponent's attack , but couldn't find a chance to counterattack, and the key fear control field was also skillfully resolved by the opponent...

Is this a gap in consciousness?

He really wasn't strong enough.If it was Master's summoner, he should win, right?

Seeing Shen He with his head down thinking about something, Li Muran patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, don't be discouraged."

Shen He laughed immediately: "I'm not discouraged, I just haven't figured out how to play these two rounds."

Li Muran said: "I'll ask your master later, let's talk about it when I go back."

The two left the soundproof room, walked to the middle of the big stage, shook hands with Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun, and then returned to the backstage.

The reporters in the audience had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Shen He coming, they immediately handed him the microphone: "Shen He, do you feel sad that you lost the first round of the double match?"

Shen He scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not sad. After all, I have been the captain of the first team for several years. Sang Jun is also a first-class player on Miracle. I have long been mentally prepared to lose."

His mentality is really good. There are not many players who can still smile so brightly after losing two games.

The reporter liked the little monkey very much, and then asked: "What do you think is the key reason for losing these two games?"

Shen He thought for a while, but didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Li Muran.Li Muran helped save the game and said: "On the one hand, we lack experience in competitions, and our reactions are not as fast as the opponent's; on the other hand, our pre-match preparations are not as sufficient as our opponents, and our cooperation is not as tacit as theirs."

These three points raised by Li Muran made Qin Mo, who was watching the battle in the background, show a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The reporter took advantage of the situation and handed the microphone to the boy who answered the question with a blank face: "Mu Ran, after losing this game, will it affect your confidence?"

"No." Li Muran said calmly, "Go back and sum up the experience and lessons, and strive to play better in the next game."

reporter:"……"

I didn't expect him to be quite handsome at such a young age.

Shen He immediately nodded and echoed: "That's right! We are all rookies, and the most important thing is to accumulate experience through competitions. Muran and I still have a lot to learn and improve. In the next competition, everyone will see us progress!" He expanded Li Muran's short sentence into a long sentence, expressing a meaning.The reporter couldn't help laughing: "Then keep going!"

***

When they returned to the backstage, Liu Hong and Zhu Qingyue patted their shoulders to express their comfort. Qin Mo, as a master, did not comfort Shen He, but said, "Come with me."

Shen He knew that the master wanted to guide him, so he immediately followed actively.

There are many small rooms in the backstage, which are provided by the league for the players of the major teams to discuss tactics before the game.

Qin Mo found an empty room and asked Shen He to go in, and said directly: "You sum up today's game and how many mistakes you made."

Shen He was taken aback, and concluded embarrassingly: "I didn't prepare enough before the match, and my cooperation with Mu Ran wasn't tacit enough..."

Qin Mo interrupted him: "Don't repeat Li Muran's words, speak your own thoughts."

Only then did Shen He lower his head and say, "Master, I, my mind is a little messed up..."

As expected, he was stunned. Qin Mo frowned and said, "In the first game, you made five mistakes in total."

Shen He looked up at Master in shock: "Five times?!"

Qin Mo said calmly: "The first time, the Square Map didn't go first, and in the melee game, you lost half of the game if you didn't go first; Instead, you summoned the mechanism bull to defend, and missed the opportunity again; the third time, when Li Muran was disturbed by close quarters, you did not use the mechanism chariot to help your teammates create an opportunity to escape, so that Li Muran fell into a complete passivity; The first time, knowing that Chu Jianxin might bring defensive counterattack cheats, but blindly read the article to open the big move, and was successfully predicted by the opponent; the fifth time, where is your puppet stand-in at the moment the big move is rebounded?"

"..." Master's words hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out five consecutive mistakes that affected the situation in a game. Shen He was completely unable to refute, and immediately lowered his head like a student who made a mistake.

"What about the second game?" Qin Mo said, "Think about it for yourself."

"Uh..." Shen He scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "I failed to use the terrain to block the position and control the field, but let the opponent get close, and the opening position was not selected; Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun teamed up to kill the healer, my The speed of response was not fast enough, so that Muran was seamlessly controlled; the cheats were not selected well, I should not choose the cheats for group attack and damage, but chose the cheats for forced field control to find opportunities."

"Well." Qin Mo nodded, and continued, "And the most important point, after the fear of the mechanism horse is relieved, since you can't save the treatment for the time being, you should prepare for the worst - look for opportunities in the distance Control the field and attack the opponent. Saving your teammates is of course a good thing, but when you are powerless and unable to save your teammates, you can abandon the opponent and look for more opportunities to win."

"..." Shen He's eyes widened suddenly, never expecting such a possibility.What Qin Mo said calmly completely overturned his cognition.

"During a multiplayer team battle, if a DPS and a healer beside you were attacked at the same time, who would you choose to save?" Qin Mo asked.

"I..." Shen He was startled, "I don't know."

"If you want to save both, the final result is that neither of them can be saved." Facing Shen He's shocked gaze, Qin Mo said slowly, "Choosing according to the situation is also the key factor for decisive victory. It will delay the battle opportunity. In the second game, on the surface, Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun were focusing on Li Muran, but on the other hand, Li Muran held the other two at the same time, giving you the best output environment. If you are earlier Awareness, don't dawdle around, but go around the back and control the field to sneak attack and kill Chu Jianxin, then, in the later stage, you will have at least some chance of winning against Sang Jun when you are at full health."

"..." Shen He lowered his head in shame.

Yes, what Master said was absolutely right, he just didn't turn his head around and focused on saving Li Muran, but missed the best opportunity to control the field.

Although he couldn't fully understand many of the master's words for the time being, Shen He still realized that the gap between his ability to grasp the battle situation and his master's was nothing short of cloud and mud.

In the previous singles competition, he was able to enter the top sixteen. In addition to the guidance of his master and Hanshen, there was also a factor of luck-if he was assigned to the upper half, he would definitely not be able to qualify from the group stage.

The top [-] in the individual competition does not mean that his strength is ranked in the top [-] in the league.

Moreover, the doubles competition is different from the singles competition. In the singles competition, you only care about yourself and don't need to worry about your teammates.The double competition is more about cooperation. Obviously, his understanding of cooperation is not deep enough, and he has no clue about the choice at the critical moment.

Seeing Shen He's face full of shame, Qin Mo stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "You still have a long way to go, I can't keep supporting you. Xiaohe, go back and reflect on yourself. One game, you can make some progress, don't play such a mess."

Shen He nodded vigorously: "Well, I know, thank you Master..."

When he came out of the room, he happened to meet Xiao Han who was standing at the door. Seeing Shen He's blushing expression and wishing he could get into the cracks in the ground, Xiao Han knew——Qin Mo must be training his apprentice.

This is the fine tradition of their teachers.

Back then, when Qin Mo made mistakes in the arena, Ling Xuefeng would scold him very severely. Now that Qin Mo has become a master, he has become so strict and vicious.

However, strict teachers lead to excellent apprentices—the stricter Qin Mo is, the faster Xiao He will progress.With the heartless personality of the little monkey, if he pampers him too much, he will not be able to recognize his shortcomings.

After Shen He returned to the lounge, Xiao Han smiled and said: "Xiaomo, I just heard you training your apprentice outside, you really have the true biography of God Ling!"

Qin Mo said, "Really?"

Xiao Han leaned over and said, "Well, it makes sense, Shen He should be able to gain a lot."

Qin Mo sighed softly in his heart, and said, "I just hope that he will grow up as soon as possible, and make rational and correct judgments in the future team battles."

Xiao Han gently wrapped his arms around Qin Mo's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "I know, you want Shen He to be the main field controller in team battles. If he makes a mistake, our offense in the front row will be greatly affected. Don't worry. , Shen He is very smart, he will understand your good intentions."

***

In the lounge, Shen He asked Li Muran next to him in a low voice: "Muran, if I gave up saving you in the second round just now, and instead hid and took the opportunity to attack the opponent, would you be angry?"

Li Muran looked back at him: "Why should I be angry? There is no rule in the doubles competition that two people must live together until the end, and it is normal to switch to a heads-up round."

Shen He sighed: "Oh... I'm still too indecisive."

Li Muran looked at his rare depressed appearance, and couldn't help but care: "Moshen criticized you just now, right?"

Shen He blushed, nodded: "En."

Li Muran patted his shoulder lightly: "Are you sad?"

Shen He chuckled: "Of course not! Master was scolded so many times by Ling Shen before he became Captain Mo Jue who is now able to stand alone. I wish Master scolded me a few more times, so that I can improve!"

Qin Mo, who walked into the lounge, just heard Shen He's words, and the corners of his tensed lips could not help but smile slightly.

Sure enough, he is a caring little apprentice who can understand the meaning of what he said, and it is not in vain for me to watch him play intently throughout the game and point out all his mistakes with good intentions.

——Shen He, your master is not as gentle and kind as other people's masters.

——But your master will definitely train you with heart and send you to the altar with his own hands.
