The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 118 Tang Rou Fishing, Pigsy Taking the Bait—

"Absolutely impossible. I think the Dog-Beating Stick Technique is pretty good. Alright, alright, stop joking around. Hurry up and learn this technique, then teach me."

Otherwise, why do you think Ye Xiu would have dragged Mo Qian out of his sleep? Of course, there's a reason.

Mo Qian's eyes are a valuable asset. Ye Xiu certainly can't learn this technique after watching it twice, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't, there's always someone else to help him.

"Old Ye, can you stop looking at me like that, like I'm just a tool? It's creepy."

Looking at Ye Xiu's lewd gaze, Mo Qian couldn't help but say, "Old Ye's saliva is practically dripping down his face."

"Ahem, you know me, Old Mo, come and see!"

Mo Qian shook his head casually, "Of course I've already learned it, Lao Ye. You haven't learned it yet, have you? No way, no way—"

Ye Xiu: ...

Seeing Ye Xiu slowly approaching, Mo Qian immediately chickened out.

Such sustained hand speed is something even the Monkey King couldn't withstand—

Five minutes later, Qi Tian's health was completely depleted by Tang Rou, and Tang Rou took the first victory!
Captain Qi Tian was completely dumbfounded. Seriously? Who could maintain such a high level of hand speed for fifteen minutes straight? And that's fifteen minutes!

Ye Xiu returned satisfied and continued to watch with great interest the match between his disciple and the opposing "Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
At this point, the match between Tang Rou and the opposing team's monkey had reached a fever pitch.
"Wow! This little girl's hand speed's getting fast—let's see how fast mine is!"

If it's a test of speed, then let's go for it!
Qi Tian's hand speed was the type that could be broken in an instant; it instantly reached a very high level, even suppressing Tang Rou for a time.
But Ye Xiu laughed when he saw this.

"Brother Ye, please forgive my rudeness and let me go—"

Tang Rou's hand speed can be maintained at a very high level, but her opponent Qi Tian cannot. Tang Rou can maintain a high level of hand speed for ten consecutive minutes.

"Little Tang won this battle," Ye Xiu said confidently, stating his opinion.

Qi Tian clearly sensed Tang Rou's increased hand speed. Tang Rou began to gradually increase her hand speed, but Qi Tian's hand speed was not slow either.

That's why Qi Tian was quite confident when he first competed with Tang Rou in hand speed, and even used his "Floating Four-Hit Combo" to suppress Tang Rou at one point.
However, as time went by, Qi Tian's hand speed couldn't keep up, but Tang Rou's hand speed remained at a very high level, which was extremely terrifying!

"What?! Doesn't this girl get tired?! Why is her hand speed still increasing?!"

"Xiao Tang's hand speed can be maintained for even longer now. Wow, what a terrifying talent."

Ye Xiu sighed, but actually, Ye Xiu's hand speed was faster and more sustained than Xiao Tang's.
"Old Ye, how dare you talk to Xiao Tang like that? Aren't you a pro at maneuvering too?"

"I wouldn't dare talk nonsense. I'm just a good young man who loves Glory." Half the league didn't believe him when he said this. As for the other half, they didn't know Ye Xiu. Those who did know Ye Xiu knew that his words were deceitful; this kid had tricked countless top professional players in the league.

Everyone who plays tactics has a dirty mind, but Old Ye's mind is especially dirty.

After Qi Tian finished his appearance, the next one would be Ba Jie.
Bajie's profession is knight, and the silver weapon he uses is also indescribably ugly. What kind of knight carries a nine-toothed rake? Is this still a knight?
While Pigsy's strength isn't actually as high as Monkey King's, it's still more than enough to compete in professional matches. This "Journey to the West Team" is one of the few truly strong teams in this challenge.

Apart from team captain Qi Tian, ​​whose skills are quite outstanding, the other contestants are all fairly average in ability. You heard right, average.

The strength of [Pigsy], [Sandy], [Tang Monk], and [White Dragon Horse] is almost at the same level.

[Bajie] has appeared, his knight shield raised, seemingly ready for a protracted battle with Tang Rou.
But do you think Tang Rou would be completely unprepared? She won't fall into the same trap twice! Tang Rou has already found a way to deal with the Knight's turtle shell defense.
After the last match, Tang Rou asked Ye Xiu what method could be used to break the Knights' defensive counter-attacking style of play.

Ye Xiu gave Tang Rou two methods:

The first, and most brutal, method is to forcefully interrupt the attack, giving the knight no time to react. If the knight can't even raise their shield, then naturally the defensive counter-attack strategy fails.
However, this method requires players to seize opportunities, and Huang Shaotian excels in this aspect, which is how he earned his reputation as an opportunist.

This can only be achieved by seizing every opportunity perfectly, which is still too difficult for Tang Rou at her current level. Therefore, Ye Xiu provided a second method, which is—

[Standing still and pretending to be an expert]

This method severely tests the player's patience. If the opponent's knight raises their shield, Tang Rou can simply remain still, as the knight cannot move with their shield up. If the knight wants to break this stalemate...

Then we'll have to abandon our own tactics. Although this method is a bit dirty, it's, how should I put it, the most effective tactic.
Ye Xiu's consistent principle is that any tactic that leads to victory and doesn't violate his principles is acceptable. As for saving face, Ye Xiu and Lao Wei have long since abandoned that notion.
Mo Qian seems to be showing signs of developing in that direction, and Mu Cheng is doing her best to stop him from doing so.
Why isn't Tang Rou moving?

Chen Guo looked at Tang Rou's actions with some confusion, only to see Tang Rou suddenly freeze in place, as if she had disconnected from the game.
Bajie also looked at Tang Rou with a strange expression.

"Could it be that I've been disconnected?"

It's no wonder that Bajie was so suspicious, because Tang Rou really wasn't moving at all right now. She just stood there blankly, and someone who didn't know better might really think she had disconnected from the internet.

"Then it's not my fault, young lady. Next time, try a better internet connection."

Pigsy removed his shield, raised his nine-toothed rake, and charged towards Tang Rou.

"They've taken the bait—"

Ye Xiu and Tang Rou thought to themselves at the same time.
