The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 149 The First Round of Testing! Mo Qian's Terrifying Hand Speed! The Four Tactical Coaches!

A mechanical female voice suddenly appeared; the voice was somewhat like a human voice, yet not quite.

"Please have the following contestants step forward,"

All the players were dumbfounded. Did they think they were already eliminating players before the game even started? That couldn't be true—

Team Happy - Ye Xiu
Team Happy - Mo Qian
Tyranny Team - Zhang Xinjie

Blue Rain Team - Yu Wenzhou

Thunder Team - Xiao Shiqin

Keen observers will notice that these are none other than the four most recognized tactical masters in China, along with the strongest individual professional player, Sword Immortal.

But why separate these five people? It's certain they weren't eliminated.

If these five people are eliminated, their strength will be significantly reduced, and their abilities are absolutely crucial.
"Ye Xiu, Yu Wenzhou, Xiao Shiqin, and Zhang Xinjie have been hired as tactical coaches for this training camp. Mo Qian is the first starter, meaning he has already been included in the starting lineup—"

"Note: Whoever can defeat Mo Qian can take the honor of being the number one starting player from Mo Qian's hands."

Being the "first in the starting lineup" means that after the training camp ends, your name will definitely appear at the top of the starting roster. In simple terms, it's like being guaranteed a spot in the college entrance exam—you've been directly admitted to university.

It's easy to imagine how alluring this reputation was; everyone's eyes were glued to Mo Qian.

Of course, top professional players don't hold out much hope. You don't really think you can beat Mo Qian right now, do you? Anyone who knows Mo Qian knows just how terrifying his current strength is.
Mo Qian's [One Thought God and Demon] has also been developed to level 80, just like Ye Xiu's Thousand Chance Umbrella—to put it bluntly, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's silver weapons are currently the most powerful weapons of all.
With the weapon enhancement and Mo Qian's strength, aside from Ye Xiu having a slim chance against Mo Qian, the other players are basically no match for him. This is why most top professional players weren't particularly surprised when they learned about this rule.
"Captain, isn't this great? As long as you defeat Sword Immortal Mo Qian, you can directly become the number one starter!"

Gao Yingjie looked at Wang Jiexi with a very innocent expression. Wang Jiexi didn't say anything, just looked at Gao Yingjie.
Gao Yingjie still hasn't experienced the brutal beatings of a sword immortal—or rather, he hasn't experienced them enough, otherwise, why would he say something like that?
"Hahaha! Wang Jiexi, your little apprentice is really boastful. Why don't you actually give it a try—and see how strong the Sword Immortal really is now?"

Huang Shaotian looked at Wang Jiexi and smiled. Wang Jiexi wasn't stupid; it was better for Huang Shaotian to do this thankless task himself.

"Now, all contestants, please proceed to the designated location for the first round of testing—"

"The tactical coach and the starting lineup player, please proceed directly to the monitoring room—"

Ye Xiu and the others were inexplicably led away by a small robot. This robot, reportedly named Xiao Yan, would appear whenever a notification or order was given.

When Ye Xiu entered the monitoring room, he saw many retired players.

"Hey! Isn't this Ye Shen? I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Xu Bin, that guy, was very outgoing and immediately greeted Ye Xiu.

"Xu Bin, the 'Grinding King'? What's he doing here? Didn't he make a comeback and join Team Tiny Herb? I didn't expect him to be pulled in too?"

"Hello, I'm Xu Bin, the coach of the Knights. Isn't that a bit too arrogant, haha—" The four tactical coaches are practically everyone's coaches, especially Ye Xiu. As the textbook of Glory, Ye Xiu has his own insights into every profession. As for Mo Qian, he's probably just waiting to face everyone's challenges—

They bestowed this honor upon Mo Qian to encourage everyone to challenge him. After all, with such excellent resources, it's obvious that Huang Shaotian would be sparring with Mo Qian every day—what a fantastic opportunity!

"The first round of testing is hand speed?"

Looking at the scene on the monitor screen, Mo Qian subconsciously asked,

"To be precise, it's effective hand speed."

Ye Xiu's eyesight might not be as sharp as the Sword Immortal's, but his experience was definitely far superior. He immediately recognized it as a high-precision instrument for testing the effective hand speed of professional players.
"This looks so appealing, I'm tempted to get tested!"

Mo Qian couldn't help but say,

No sooner had Mo Qian finished speaking than Xiao Yan appeared. Where there's a problem, there's an answer.

"Yes, Mr. Sword Immortal, you can go directly there and train with the Swordsman Team members."

Mo Qian chuckled. Wasn't this making things more interesting? Hopefully, Mo Qian's methods wouldn't frighten Huang Shaotian and Liu Xiaobie.

------

When Mo Qian arrived at the location, Liu Xiaobie had just finished his test. Liu Xiaobie's total hand speed and effective hand speed were both extremely astonishing. His total hand speed reached a terrifying 700 apm+, and his effective hand speed had reached 350 apm+. This was already a very good level. Even Huang Shaotian's score was not much better than Liu Xiaobie's.
"Hey! Old Mo, you're back? You weren't kicked out, were you?"

"Go away! I just came to keep you company because I saw you were so lonely, Xiao Huang."

Mo Qian began the test, and even managed to answer Huang Shaotian's questions in his spare time—a skill that was truly enviable.

Test complete!

Mo Qian's data was far ahead of the competition.
The total hand speed reached a terrifying 900+ APM, with an effective hand speed of 500+ APM.
This wasn't even Mo Qian's full strength, because everyone could see that he was fighting casually, definitely not at his full power, although it did consume some energy—

"Holy crap! Old Mo, are you getting more and more insane? Why is your hand speed not only not slower, but actually faster?!"

Huang Shaotian truly envied these players who got better with age, but such players were rare in the professional arena; only Ye Xiu and Mo Qian were that type of player.

Other professional players can't do this. As they age, their hand speed gradually declines, and their reaction time slows down. This is a physical issue, not a problem with the player.
It's possible that Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's bodies are somewhat different from those of normal people, and their strength is only increasing, something that no one can stop.

"What's the point of calling myself a speed master? There's already a speed monster here!"

No one playing a swordsman has slow hand speed, but compared to sword immortals, Liu Xiaobie and Huang Shaotian are still somewhat inferior.
