ADAPTED FROM BUTTERFLY BLUE'S NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME, THE KING'S AVATAR
In the last round of Arena Challenge,
the player from Excellent Era is Su Mucheng.
The best Launcher in the League against the first generation of Master.
This will be a fight between magic and gunpowder.
Who will win the Arena Challenge?
Let's watch the match.
Just a provisional tactical change.
It's normal.
Don't be too surprised.
Since you're wearing Excellent Era's uniform and sitting on its player seat,
it means you're ready to do your best for Excellent Era.
Relax.
Mr. Tao.
You're putting Mucheng in a dilemma.
You can't send her in the last and most sensitive game.
She will be suspected of losing the game deliberately
even if she doesn't.
If she doesn't want to be suspected,
she'll have to do her best.
But in the competition,
if someone intends to be fastidious and pick on her,
any mistake she makes could be interpreted as losing intentionally.
She has only one option.
Which is to win.
Isn't it exactly what we want?
For the last round of the Arena Challenge, the player sent by Excellent Era
is the First Launcher of Glory, Su Mucheng.
She will challenge the veteran, Wei Chen, the winner of the last round.
Captain Yu, what do you think of this game?
Both teams' players are experienced and skilled.
They know each other well.
Also, both of their classes are good at long-range attack.
This might be a close game.
But Wei Chen lost nearly half of his health points and lots of stamina
in the last round.
This can be a tough fight for him.
Well, we all know that Su Mucheng didn't renew her contract in Excellent Era.
It is said that they may part ways,
but Excellent Era still sends her in for such a crucial competition.
We don't know what tactic that Excellent Era is using.
The match begins.
There seems to be a change in the style of Dancing Rain's movement.
Su Mucheng didn't start like her style at all.
Why did Su Mucheng move completely different from before?
Does she really want to lose intentionally?
No way.
Don't give up your professional honor to help Ye Qiu.
That's why I said female players just aren't good enough.
She is just not tough enough.
Dancing Rain keeps moving to find the opponent's position,
while Windward Formation keeps quiet and is not in a rush.
Windward Formation's health points are at a great disadvantage.
It's right for him to choose a more conservative way.
Dancing Rain's Delivery Gun.
Captain Yu, how would you evaluate Su Mucheng's positioning at the opening?
Her positioning style has changed.
She no longer outflanks from a distance, but does so aggressively.
We can see Windward Formation moving from his position.
He is finding Dancing Rain's position.
Su Mucheng still occupies a high spot.
She has a very wide vision, but she will be discovered easily.
Both are in long-range classes.
It is better to find the opponent first to gain the upper hand.
Windward Formation seems to have found his opponent.
He starts to cast the Curse Arrows.
Hasn't Dancing Rain found him yet?
She found him!
The fire is too strong.
Windward Formation can't keep casting magic
and begins to find shelters.
But Dancing Rain's marksmanship is very precise.
Every shot restricts the position of Windward Formation.
It's so violent.
Go wild.
Su Mucheng's attack rhythm for a Launcher is almost perfect.
Her skills convergence and output cycle
can be the guide for the Launchers in Glory.
But Wei Chen's dodging is just average.
He has to find an interval between her attacks to exercise his skills,
but Su Mucheng does not give him such an opportunity at all.
Dancing Rain makes use of the high spot's advantage.
Her attack range is so wide!
Windward Formation is in danger.
Su Mucheng is so strong.
Not many in the league can do multiple skills
with a Delivery Gun like she does.
Using the recoil of a gun and normal attack to adjust her position and dodge.
She is stronger than we imagine.
It's rare for a female player to play so powerfully and brilliantly.
They are fighting to their limit.
Su Mucheng, come on!
I'm sure Wei Chen will win.
Dancing Rain is still attacking while moving.
Nice.
She hit the target in midair.
Windward Formation is killed.
Su Mucheng wins the final round of the Arena Challenge.
Congratulations, Su Mucheng. Well done, Excellent Era.
In the final round of the Arena Challenge,
we witnessed Su Mucheng being as powerful as any male player,
and the veteran, Wei Chen's persistence and elegance.
Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game.
Thanks for letting us feel the spirit of Glory behind the game.
That little girl back then has grown up.
The young people are really something.
We old people have to catch up.
Su Mucheng won this round.
Congratulations, Su Mucheng. Congratulations, Excellent Era.
This is the end of my relationship with Excellent Era.
-Su Mucheng! -Su Mucheng!
TEAM EXCELLENT ERA, SU MUCHENG
-Su Mucheng! -Su Mucheng!
Stay and play well.
For our Excellent Era.
For the ten years
we put in.
We can't be teammates in tomorrow's game.
I'll be alone in all the future games, right?
Happy and Excellent Era.
They will eventually meet in the Challengers League.
So...
I look forward to becoming an opponent.
Rather than being your opponent,
I'd still prefer to get the fifth Best Partner Award with you.
But...
how much longer will it take
for us to fight together again?
I'm Su Mucheng.
I officially return to the team today.
It seems like
I've really been away for a long time.
Leave everything else to me now.
The Arena Challenge is over.
The score of Excellent Era to Happy is 10 to 8.
The total score is 34 to 29.
Excellent Era enters the next Team Challenge with a five-point lead.
Captain Yu and Shaotian, take a break. Have a seat.
Okay.
I don't know what your sponsor is thinking.
They asked Wang Jiexi to comment on the Team Challenge.
Big-Eyed Wang has two different eye pixels.
I really wonder if he can see the broadcasting screen clearly.
You're here.
It doesn't matter whether I can see it clearly or not.
But I saw the game
where Tiny Herb eliminated Blue Rain very clearly.
Of course you can see that clearly
because of your good health and good healthcare.
Only an old man like you drinks such bitter things.
Young people like us prefer sweet things.
I'm worried that you'll suffer bitterness from your throat to your toes.
It's bitter in the mouth after drinking tea,
but it's bitter in your heart after losing the game.
Do you think I made a good point, Mr. Pan?
I think...
Well, I have no idea.
I'm thirsty.
Well, wasn't Tiny Herb also blocked by Tyranny before the finals?
My coffee is as bitter as your tea.
If Tiny Herb plays with Tyranny one more time,
they may not win.
Captain Han, you're here. Would you like a drink?
Water.
Don't you want something else?
Water is so ordinary.
There's nothing new.
It's normal for Tyranny to win. There's no need for new ideas.
Captain Wang just said that Tyranny might not defeat Tiny Herb.
What do you think, Mr. Pan?
What do I think?
I...
I've got a phone call.
You guys go on.
Hello, Mr. Li.
When on earth will you come back?
The exciting Team Challenge is about to begin.
If you thought the Arena Challenge wasn't exciting enough,
you'll have the privilege of witnessing a brilliant confrontation
between the two great tacticians, Xiao Shiqin and Ye Qiu.
Will the steady master of detail dominate the situation,
or will the genius Unspecialized with unusual tricks control the game?
Let's watch the match.
There's a five-point difference between Happy and Excellent Era.
It won't be easy to turn the table.
It is likely that Excellent Era will continue their victory.
Every player is eager to win.
Especially those veterans who have limited games left to play.
Either go to get the victory
or to the end.
TEAM EXCELLENT ERA
TEAM HAPPY
-Victory! -Victory!
-Let's welcome the two teams. -Victory!
Ye Qiu!
All the best, Ye Qiu!
Everyone, the final of Glory Challengers League.
The Team Challenge between Team Happy and Team Excellent Era will begin soon.
All the players have entered the battle room.
After the Arena Challenge, Excellent Era is five points ahead
of Happy in total points.
For Happy, if they want to win the championship,
-the Team Challenge will be hard for them. -Back to the league.
Enjoy the game.
Okay. All the characters enter the map.
The game officially starts.
Happy's opening formation is well maintained under Ye Qiu's command.
The purpose of their positioning is clear. This is very important in Team Challenge.
Right, we can see that after Xiao Shiqin joined,
their tactical discipline has improved too.
Tactical positioning.
Excellent Era's formation is changing.
They don't want to meet Happy too early.
-Although they are still far away, -Plan B.
they are cautious about their positions.
Well, tactical positioning was adopted by both teams at the beginning.
Any details before the two teams meet each other is crucial in such a game.
Excellent Era stops moving now.
We see that Happy has also stopped moving.
Master Jiexi, what do you think of this?
Xiao Shiqin and Ye Qiu are both experienced commanders.
They know that being the first to discover their opponents has its advantages.
Therefore, they choose to approach quietly and look for the opportunity.
We are suddenly enlightened after Master Jiexi's explanation.
Lord Grim suddenly fired a shot.
This way.
Excellent Era will judge Happy's position based on the sound of the shot.
Ye Qiu released the signals deliberately.
This is part of the tactics.
Turn left.
Happy begins to move quickly.
Another shot.
Excellent Era stops moving immediately.
They haven't met, but both the tacticians have begun to compete.
The third shot.
The three shots came
-from three different directions. -It's a diversion!
They split up into two teams. Lord Grim must be alone. Let's hit it.
Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei plug in.
Let's bet the one you chase is Lord Grim.
-Copy that. -Copy that.
Excellent Era has split into two teams.
Combat Form is with One Autumn Leaf while the other three are together.
Xiao Shiqin determined Happy chose to split up according to
-the time and location of the shot. -Found the target.
One Autumn Leaf found Lord Grim alone.
You sent two Battle Mages to come after me.
What an amazing intuition.
The diversion works.
Now it's double pin down time.
I will drag their two main players out.
The remaining three guys are up to four of you.
-Copy that. -Copy that.
The battlefield is now divided.
Lord Grim confronts One Autumn Leaf and Combat Form alone.
Happy's absolute core is separated from his teammates.
Excellent Era obviously won't let go of this chance easily.
On the other side, Happy is playing four on three,
but it will not be hard for Excellent Era with Xiao Shiqin in the battle.
One Autumn Leaf has caught up with Lord Grim.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks. Lord Grim was hit.
Meanwhile, Combat Form has arrived. Lord Grim is intercepted.
No way.
You've learned all I taught.
How dare you intercept me here?
I dare to do anything to win.
It's the Shadow Strategy.
Combat Form becomes One Autumn Leaf's wingman.
Lord Grim is trapped under the attack of those two.
Sun Xiang, don't you like to fight solo?
This is a Team Challenge. Why would I fight solo?
I think in this era of stars, very few teams will use this strategy.
Today, Qiu Fei's performance makes us reconsider
what the real Shadow Strategy is.
Where is he?
Shadow Clone Technique.
Lord Grim suddenly disappeared.
One Autumn Leaf and Combat Form start seeking.
The launching scope of Shadow Clone Technique is within 15 position units.
-He won't go far. -Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei judged
that his location won't be far.
They start to seek him out,
but we can see that Master Ye Qiu is very smart in his positioning.
He hasn't been found yet.
Lord Grim's health points have depleted to 70 percent.
He is in a passive position.
Rising Dragon Soars the Sky! How decisive!
He lifted off with Rotary Wind and dodged it.
He found Combat Form.
Cloud Grasping Fist.
Your Shadow Strategy is not flawless at all.
This is an opportunity. Ye Qiu starts to counterattack.
You're the secondary attack. Why are you standing in my way?
What are you doing behind?
Fight him if you're so good.
Fine.
Ye Qiu seized the opportunity to disrupt the main attacker's position and rhythm.
Sun Xiang is forced into the position of secondary attack.
Qiu Fei can't stop Ye Qiu's attack.
It's not so easy to break through.
Shadow Strategy has more than one main attacker position.
Such a pity.
Your tactic doesn't work.
Xiao Shiqin told us
that if you use the diversion, we'll beat you at your own game.
Everyone else in Happy is irrelevant as long as we hold you back.
Yifan and the others are in danger.
Be careful of the traps.
Let's turn our attention to another part of the battlefield.
It's a Bouncing Mine.
Most players of Happy have been ambushed by Excellent Era.
It's the Bouncing Mine planted by Life Extinguisher.
They are nearby. Be aware.
Happy doesn't lack damage in face-to-face combat.
Their best choice is to focus on fighting the Cleric, Woven Shadow.
Meanwhile, they must pay attention not to rush forward, or they'll be attacked.
-Found Woven Shadow. -Catch him!
Soft Mist's Dragon Breaks the Ranks was intercepted by Successive Strike.
Woven Shadow counter-attacks.
The HP of Soft Mist, One Inch Ash and Steamed Bun Invasion have depleted.
Xiao Shiqin has long anticipated that Happy will try their best
-to kill the Cleric. -Nice.
So, they laid out a counter-attack in advance.
Excellent Era is still accumulating advantages.
Right. After this fight, Happy has lost a lot of team's health points.
Only 70 percent are left.
Happy is at a disadvantage on both battlefields.
Someone needs to help Lord Grim out of trouble.
Right. We can see that Lord Grim is still entangled
by the two Battle Mages of Excellent Era.
When you get back to your teammates, they will all be dead.
No. You won't be able to go back.
Critical moment.
He hit One Autumn Leaf and Combat Form.
Both of them fell to the ground and stunned.
I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
Thanks, Wu Chen.
Happy indeed held back a trick.
It took some time to climb up.
It's just the right timing.
The next one is Successive Strike.
Copy that.
A Launcher who occupies a high spot without any interference.
It's terrifying!
Dawn Rifle's ongoing attacks
restrict Life Extinguisher and Woven Shadow, making them passive.
The counterattack begins.
He killed Successive Strike with a combo.
Excellent Era lost one person.
-This is Screen Cannon Tactic -Great, Ye Qiu!
developed by Ye Qiu when he was in Excellent Era.
Today, Happy suppressed Excellent Era with this classical tactic.
This is undoubtedly another psychological strike to Excellent Era.
Now it seems that Happy is more like a former Excellent Era.
Exactly. Now the morale of Happy
-has reached the top. -They broke through.
Long live Happy!
-Long live Happy! -Long live Happy!
We can't lose to them.
Excellent Era will win!
-Long live Happy! -Long live Happy!
Long live Happy!
-Excellent Era! -Long live Happy!
Jiaxing, be prepared to heal.
-Sharpshooter, be prepared to support. -Copy that.
On my way.
MATCHSTICK, SUCCESSIVE STRIKE
We can see that Excellent Era's substitute, Matchstick, is in.
Bao Zi, Tang Rou. The coordinates are 373, 480.
Climb over directly. Kill the Cleric!
-Understood. -Understood.
Excellent Era's substitute is in and will arrive in half a minute.
Wu Chen.
Captain will only arrive in one and a half minutes.
Understood.
One and a half minutes.
I'll stall their Sharpshooter.
In order to intercept Matchstick,
Dawn Rifle gave up the advantage of his long-range
and fight close-up with Matchstick.
Matchstick makes full use of the Sharpshooter's flexibility
to keep dodging and finding shelters.
This is what Happy would like to see very much.
If Matchstick doesn't return quickly,
Happy will fight one more person and kill Excellent Era's Cleric.
What are you doing? Come over quickly.
On the way.
The Launcher of Happy keeps following me.
It's obvious that Matchstick is suffering from Dawn Rifle's stalling.
His teammates are also under pressure.
It has to be said that Dawn Rifle's performance so far has been crucial.
He is the greatest contributor to Happy's advantage.
Exactly.
The Launcher operated by Wu Chen is too aggressive.
He even dares to stick close to the Sharpshooter.
We know Launchers suffer a lot in close combat.
This is the tactic he chose to entangle his opponent.
Gosh, the Launcher is fighting me close.
Is he crazy?
It's not like a duel between two Gunners at all.
He's trading his own health points for time to hold his opponent back.
Is this man crazy?
Matchstick seizes the opportunity. Headshot!
Dawn Rifle is in danger.
Bao Zi, hang in there.
The Cleric is dying.
Don't worry about me. Cover Little Tang.
Give me ten more seconds.
I'll be there in nine seconds. Hang in there.
The battle between Dawn Rifle and Matchstick has turned white-hot.
They aim at each other at the same time.
Nice.
Dawn Rifle is killed first.
Wait.
Dawn Rifle launched his attack at the last minute.
There's no time for Matchstick to dodge. He is killed too.
Master Jiexi.
Can you give us an analysis of the current situation?
This fight is critical.
Dawn Rifle killed Matchstick. His mission was beautifully accomplished.
Now that Excellent Era's substitute has been killed,
Happy's substitute, the Cleric, Little Cold Hands, will join soon.
I'll leave it to you guys now.
Wu Chen, you did well.
He killed Woven Shadow with a close hit.
Long live Happy!
-Yes! -Ye Qiu is a master indeed!
Happy goes a step further.
They've killed three people. The situation is very good.
Leave the rest to us.
Happy still has five people left on the battlefield.
Excellent Era only has three left.
Happy's Launcher gave up the long-range advantage
and sacrificed his life to kill Excellent Era's Sharpshooter.
This has stalled a lot of time for the team.
It can be said that he is the match point in this game.
Moreover, Lord Grim arrived in time
and helped the team kill Excellent Era's Cleric.
Now Excellent Era has lost three in a row.
Their situation is far from good.
But why did Captain Xiao send the two main players out?
If not for the two main players, Excellent Era can't hold Ye Qiu back.
But Captain Xiao thought the winning point was Ye Qiu.
He didn't expect the other players in Happy to grow up so fast.
Even the newcomer, Qiao Yifan, can take the lead.
Xiao Shiqin.
You are low in health points now.
You should just surrender.
As long as that makes Captain Ye happy.
Life Extinguisher stops suddenly.
Does the tactician still have a plan?
The situation is too tense.
Any operational details can make
-a change in the situation. -Life Extinguisher is self-destructing.
Retreat!
An instantaneous explosion!
It's self-destruction.
Xiao Shiqin reversed the situation directly.
It's amazing.
Adding all the points together,
Happy needs at least three players to remain in order to win.
Soft Mist, One Inch Ash,
Steamed Bun Invasion are all low in health points.
If Life Extinguisher's self-destruction killed all three,
Excellent Era will win the game immediately.
Let's see the effect of this self-destruction.
One Inch Ash is out.
Steamed Bun Invasion is out.
Soft Mist's health points have five percent left.
How did she survive?
Come on!
-Come on! -Come on!
Soft Mist is dying.
We'll win immediately if we hit her.
Combat Form and One Autumn Leaf are chasing after Soft Mist.
One Autumn Leaf intercepts.
An Unspecialized and a Battle Mage versus another two Battle Mages.
Excellent Era focuses on attacking Soft Mist
whose health points have five percent left.
Happy conducts a desperate struggle.
Tang Rou, 2 minutes and 58 seconds left.
They have to be wiped out. Three people must remain.
Little Tang, hang in there.
Understood.
Nice!
Furious Dragon Strikes the Heart. He hit Soft Mist.
Lord Grim is healing almost at the same time.
Soft Mist's low health points go up again.
It remains at one percent.
Screensaver.
Soft Mist didn't give up the chance to attack
even when her health points are almost empty.
Keep attacking.
Let's kill her now.
As Lord Grim battles his opponent,
he needs to find a chance to heal Soft Mist.
Only Ye Qiu can do this.
But now, Lord Grim's healing skills are all on cooldown.
It seems he won't be able to save Soft Mist this time.
No one can save you now.
One Autumn Leaf hits back at Soft Mist. She is in danger.
She still has one percent of health points left.
How is that possible?
It's Little Cold Hands.
Happy's substitute, Cleric, arrived in time at the critical moment.
Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting.
How about it?
Even if I'm bad, I'm still Happy's Cleric.
The Team Challenge is drawing to an end.
The last 60 seconds.
Will Happy try their best to turn back the situation and win,
or will Excellent Era make a breakthrough and defend their glory?
Kill Combat Form first.
-Go for it, Little Tang! -Fighting!
-Long live Happy! -Long live Happy!
Hang in there, everyone. Leave them to me.
Don't hold back.
-Just charge. -Do you know what you are talking about?
Our goal is to win the championship, not this game, do you know that?
Little Tang, run!
Soft Mist's health points have only ten percent left.
Little Cold Hands' health points have only 30 percent.
They were hit!
But the damage from Combat Form's last skill, Shattering the Lands,
was too great.
Lord Grim wanted to support, but it was too late.
Soft Mist, Little Cold Hands, and Combat Form are killed at the same time.
So now, the two teams are tied in the Team Challenge.
Total points of Happy are still
-Fighting! -five points behind Excellent Era.
-Even if Happy won the game -Fighting!
and gained points,
-they would still lose by one point. -Fighting!
That means Excellent Era has secured the championship in advance.
