The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 126 Old Wei: Are you two animals?!—giving yourselves so much training!!!
Chen Guo knew, of course, that Ye Xiu wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't have time to argue with him right now; it was better to take care of business first. Chen Guo quickly lifted Ye Xiu up.
Seeing the horrified looks in Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's eyes, Chen Guo awkwardly put Ye Xiu down. It had been too much of a shock and hurt for him.

Mo Qian had considered that Chen Guo might be very strong, but he hadn't expected her to be this strong—it was unusually strong!

"Am I a useless piece of trash???"

Even Mo Qian, who exercises regularly, couldn't lift Ye Xiu off his seat so easily—but Chen Guo...

"Hmm, it shouldn't be my fault, it's just that the boss has superhuman strength, hmm, that's definitely it." Mo Qian found a plausible reason for himself.

"So, boss, what's up?"

After calming himself down from the commotion Chen Guo had just caused him, Ye Xiu asked again,
After witnessing Chen Guo's innate superhuman strength, Mo Qian and Ye Xiu silently made a decision in their hearts: they absolutely could not anger their boss again! They had underestimated Chen Guo's strength.

Guess what our ranking is?

Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu excitedly. She had just checked the rankings of Team Happy and they were number one!

Ye Xiu was munching on sunflower seeds, legs crossed, but he immediately stopped after seeing Chen Guo's gaze.
"Ahem, am I number one?"

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian had already predicted that among all the teams, Team Happy would have the most wins and kills. If Team Happy wasn't number one in points, who else could be?
"Huh?! How did you know? Did you secretly watch it?"

Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu strangely. How did Ye Xiu know?
"It's a secret—" Ye Xiu looked at Chen Guo mischievously, playing coy with her.
Chen Guo's single glance was enough to intimidate Ye Xiu. It truly is a case of one thing subduing another—Ye Xiu and Mo Qian are both afraid of their boss, Chen Guo, but Chen Guo is controlled by Su Mucheng, and Ye Xiu and Mo Qian are also controlled by Su Mucheng. Therefore, no matter what, Mo Qian and Ye Xiu are at the bottom of the food chain.

"It was Lao Mo and I who calculated this. We're both exhausted. If we still can't get first place, then what's the point of Lao Mo and me continuing to play professionally? We are, after all, players with titles—"

Ye Xiu wasn't really surprised by the result. With Mo Qian and Old Ye backing him up, the two biggest bosses in Glory history, do you think they would lose?

Looking at all the teams in the league, which team simultaneously possesses two top-tier title players? Moreover, both Ye Xiu's and Mo Qian's accounts are now maxed out—level 75 characters with level 75 silver weapons, not to mention their almost maxed-out skill points. They truly fear nothing.
The Ye Xiu of the past might have been a bit more nervous, just like at the beginning of the Challenger Tournament.

However, by now, Ye Xiu was completely at ease. Baozi and Tang Rou had both greatly improved their competition experience through this challenge tournament. He hoped that the two wouldn't show any fear when they went to the live competition in a few days. Ye Xiu had great confidence in the two of them; he felt that they could definitely do it. Baozi was a typical player with a big heart; he estimated that no matter how many people were there, Baozi would only exclaim in surprise:
Wow, so many people! There must be people of all zodiac signs here!

As for Tang Rou, there's even less to worry about. Her family background already indicates she's seen it all; this small difficulty simply won't stop her. Nervousness? That's out of the question.

Chen Guo said she understood, then skipped off to share her joy with Tang Rou. Mo Qian and Ye Xiu both breathed a sigh of relief; their boss's aura was truly intimidating.

Mo Qian and Ye Xiu exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's fear. They couldn't help but smile at each other, realizing they were both the same.

After a day of rest, Team Happy quickly resumed training. Old Wei slept all day yesterday; after all, he's an old man, and this kind of exertion definitely wouldn't be enough for him.

Therefore, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian deliberately arranged less training for Lao Wei today, but even so, Lao Wei was still extremely tired. Lao Wei was also a little resentful as he watched Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's training.
To my surprise, I found that these two people had so many more training schedules than I did.
"What the hell?! Are you two animals?! You've given yourselves so much training, are your kidneys really going to be able to handle it?"

Old Wei looked at Ye Xiu and Mo Qian in disbelief. As veteran players, why were you so outstanding?

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian patted Lao Wei on the shoulder, saying in a comforting tone:
"Old Wei, it's not your fault that your kidneys are in bad shape. We all really understand you, yeah, really."

But looking at the two of them trying not to laugh, Old Wei wondered, was there even a shred of credibility to what he was saying?
"Aren't you two afraid of being struck by lightning for saying that?"

But oh well, Lao Wei has come to terms with it. He knows his own abilities best. During his hiatus, Lao Wei really squandered his talent, which is why he gets a bit tired after playing just a couple of games now. His form declines; it's not that he can't play, but he gets more and more exhausted as the game goes on.
However, when it comes to players like Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, Lao Wei has basically never seen either of them complain of being tired during matches.

It looked so easy, so easy that Lao Wei thought he could do it too. But only after trying it did he realize how difficult it really was. You don't actually think that professional competition is just about passion, do you?
Professional competitions require a great deal of skill. Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, to ensure their hand speed and operational efficiency are not compromised, and especially to prevent their mental state from being affected, have abstained from alcohol for over a decade.
Both Mo Qian and Ye Xiu were well aware that while alcohol was good, it would numb your senses, making your actions less fluid, clouding your thinking, causing your hands to tremble, and making you feel tired after only a few matches.

Old Wei: He didn't mention me at all, but every sentence he spoke was about me.

Old Wei developed a drinking habit during his career hiatus. When he took his underlings to parties, as the leader, he couldn't refuse to drink, not to mention other social obligations.
