The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 116 Chen Guo being held in a pincer movement, Ye Xiu's screams! The second match begins!!!
In the days leading up to the match, Ye Xiu insisted on limiting the training time of all team members. The reason, of course, was to keep the players in their best condition. If you stay up until the early hours of the morning or even all night every day, do you think it will affect your condition the next day?
The impact is undeniable, but it's also true that the team members dislike it. Tang Rou and Lao Wei are particularly opposed. Lao Wei wants to quickly rediscover his eighteen-year-old self, while Tang Rou's dissent stems from her own preconceived notions.

Tang Rou always believed that she needed to practice extra before each competition; only in this way could she have enough confidence to face her opponents.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiu wouldn't allow it—Tang Rou originally wanted to argue her case, but Ye Xiu's words silenced her.
"If you can beat the Mexican, then I'll let you train with me as much as you want."

Tang Rou gave up without hesitation. To this day, Tang Rou still hasn't gained any advantage over Mo Qian; she loses every single round, and is almost developing a psychological trauma from Mo Qian's beatings.
Of course, this was a joke, based on Chen Guo's belief that Tang might develop psychological trauma from constantly losing. However, it turned out that Tang didn't at all.

Chen Guo was still too worried about Xiao Tang. Everything in excess is a bad thing. However, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian believed that Chen Guo would soon get used to this worry, because every day from now on would be like this.
Every day, Tang Rou would challenge Mo Qian and Ye Xiu to a one-on-one duel. The result was predictable: she never succeeded. Neither Ye Xiu nor Mo Qian would hold back.
Even if Ye Xiu and Mo Qian went easy on her, do you think Tang Rou wouldn't notice? If you let Tang Rou win, she won't thank you; in fact, she'll never challenge you to a one-on-one fight again. That's Tang Rou's personality; she doesn't need charity.
She wants to defeat Sword Immortal Mo Qian and Battle God Ye Xiu honorably! However, this may take a very, very long time.

Before we knew it, the day of the second challenge had arrived.
Ye Xiu had already submitted his list.
The order of appearance for Team Happy in the arena competition is as follows:
Tang Rou

Wei Chen

【steamed stuffed bun】

【Shallow】

【Mo Qian】

Ye Xiu couldn't hide the shock in his eyes, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"By the way, good luck in the competition!"

"But we still have Old Mo as a safety net, right? Boss, you can rest assured. I'll be competing in the team matches. Let's give the newcomers more opportunities to hone their skills in the current arena competitions—"

When Chen Guo first saw this list, she even doubted whether she had seen it wrong, because Ye Xiu was not on the list.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

"Um, boss, please try to be normal—"

Ye Xiu shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he absolutely did not have such thoughts. Actually, he did have a little bit, but how could he tell Chen Guo about that? Ye Xiu just wanted to prepare well for the team competition; what bad intentions could he possibly have?

Chen Guo thought about it carefully and it seemed that Ye Xiu's words made some sense. Indeed, the reasoning was correct, but was this really not Ye Xiu's excuse for wanting to slack off?
Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu with some suspicion and asked:
Are you sure this isn't an excuse for you to slack off???

Ye Xiu really wasn't used to this kind of boss. The way the boss spoke in a spiky voice was just too awkward. It wasn't that the boss's voice was bad; Chen Guo's voice was actually quite good.

The boss is usually a fierce and domineering woman, but now she's acting like a sweet girl. It just seems so awkward!

Veins began to bulge on Chen Guo's forehead, and a dangerous smile twitched at the corner of her mouth as she spoke to Ye Xiu in an extremely soft voice, "What did you just say? Ye Xiu, I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again—"

Ye Xiu was sweating profusely. Dozens of analyses about the current situation flashed through his mind, but in the end, he realized that his analyses seemed to be completely useless.
Even someone as brilliant as Ye Xiu, one of the four great tactical masters, couldn't figure out the best way to resolve the current situation.

"Wait, boss, could you... not hit my face?"

Chen Guo continued to approach Ye Xiu, "Don't worry, I will be very gentle, very gentle."

'"ah!!!"'
A deafening scream echoed from upstairs. Ye Xiu, Chen Guo, and the others were staying in the internet cafe above Happy Internet Cafe, not in the club itself, so Ye Xiu's screams could reach the internet cafe downstairs.

Strangely, the people in the internet cafe had become quite accustomed to this, and it happened every day. Although the screams were sometimes different, they were essentially the same, all originating from Boss Chen Guo.

"Hey, do you think it's Brother Ye or Brother Mo today?"

Some of the regular customers in the internet cafe already knew what had happened; the screams were either from Mo Qian or Ye Xiu. Everyone knew that Ye Xiu and Mo Qian were the ones most likely to anger the owner.
"I bet two dollars and fifty cents! It's Brother Mo."

Because Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's screams were almost identical, no one knew who this person was, and people often made guesses about it.

"Tch, I always thought this person should be Brother Ye. Brother Ye's voice is a bit higher, so his screams would naturally have a higher penetrating power. As for Brother Mo, his voice is gentler and more mellow, so his screams don't have a very strong penetrating power."

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him with extremely strange expressions. Even the person sitting next to him quickly moved several seats away; it was really a bit too frightening.

"Shocking! Nantong is right next to me!"

"No, please let me explain! I'm just interested in sounds! I'm really not from Nantong!!!"

This guy was desperately trying to prove himself, but unfortunately, nobody believed him.

After several more days of training, the day finally arrived for the match against Team Qitian. Everyone on Team Happy was full of confidence and ready to take the stage.
The victory in their first battle gave them a lot of confidence. They suddenly realized that sometimes, professional competitions weren't so difficult after all.

In reality, the Qi Tian team didn't have any top-tier fighters. Only their captain, Qi Tian, ​​was a real challenge and needed to be dealt with. The rest were just weaklings. Ye Xiu felt that Tang Rou and Baozi alone were enough; he and Mo Qian wouldn't even need to participate to defeat their opponents.

That's what Ye Xiu thought, so he didn't include himself in the arena competition.
