The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 162 Huang Shaotian: I'll never talk nonsense again!!!
At this time, the Chinese team's headquarters

It was midnight, and by all accounts all the players should have been asleep by then. However, the tactical setup room was still brightly lit.
"No, no, you can't!"

Huang Shaotian shouted. At this moment, Huang Shaotian already had faint dark circles under his eyes. He wasn't the only one with dark circles in the tactical deployment room.
In fact, Huang Shaotian should have the fewest dark circles under his eyes.
Looking at Yu Wenzhou, Ye Xiu, Xiao Shiqin, and Zhang Xinjie, they were all utterly exhausted. However, none of them took a break at this moment, because it was a crucial time for tactical planning, and everyone was preparing to finalize the order of appearance.
"I think concrete number nine should be eaten with strawberry cake to taste good, what do you think?"

Huang Shaotian was so exhausted that he started talking nonsense. In fact, Huang Shaotian's tactical contribution in this battle was quite significant. At the very least, he was able to promptly serve tea and water to all the tactical masters. Sometimes, when Huang Shaotian had a flash of inspiration, no one could stop him. He could even point out the illogical aspects of Ye Xiu and the others' tactics in an instant.

Ye Xiu and his team were quite surprised. They really didn't expect Huang Shaotian, despite his young age, to possess such skills. He was truly a hidden talent.
What Ye Xiu didn't know was that Huang Shaotian was only considering the opponent's situation when formulating the tactics.

In other words, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Huang Shaotian was only thinking about how he would break through such a situation if he encountered it, so that he could quickly find the flaws in the tactics, make up for them, and then the tactics could approach perfection.

"Well then, that's the tactical plan. Hopefully, there won't be any problems—"

In such a competition, Ye Xiu tries his best to avoid any mistakes. Only the safest approach can prevent mistakes from happening.

Huang Shaotian, however, was quite nonchalant. Seeing Ye Xiu's nervous expression, he said with some surprise:

"Old Ye, what's the panic? Don't forget who we have here—that's the Sword Immortal! With the Sword Immortal backing us up, we can actually be a bit bolder tactically. Even if we make a mistake, we can treat it as experience. With Old Mo as our backup, what's there to be afraid of?"

A single word was like a wake-up call. Ye Xiu suddenly realized, "Right, don't they still have the Ultimate Demon King? With Old Mo around, it seems like even if the opponent pulls off some fancy tactics, it won't work. Given Old Mo's terrifying reaction, what kind of person could possibly capture him? Probably no one in this world has even been found yet!"

"Yeah, it seems we really won't need to go through all that trouble next time. Hmm, let's just let Old Mo win the first match in the team competition, but we shouldn't let him fight in the first match of the arena competition. I'm afraid he'll be targeted by the opponent if we do that. Young Master Huang, you should be fine in the first match of the arena competition, right?"

Although Ye Xiu asked Huang Shaotian in a questioning tone, he knew all along that Huang Shaotian definitely had the ability. He asked precisely because he knew Huang Shaotian wouldn't refuse the request.

"Haha, is that even a question, Lao Ye? I've been waiting for you to say that! Let me do it!"

Huang Shaotian was eager to fight in the first battle, so that he could show his strength, right?

"You can rest assured that I'll take care of it. Although I might not be able to take on five people at once like that monster Old Mo, I think taking down three of them shouldn't be a problem—"

If anyone else had said this, Ye Xiu might not have believed it, but coming from Huang Shaotian, he had no choice but to believe it. Huang Shaotian had recently learned a lot of detailed techniques from Mo Qian, some of which were even beyond Ye Xiu's wildest imaginations—quite astonishing.

"I never expected Shaotian to end up being the most meticulous player, even though he seemed like a reckless brute—" Yu Wenzhou chuckled as he watched Huang Shaotian walk back to his room to rest. He figured Huang Shaotian would never volunteer to be the tactical planner again. These past few days had really worn him out. Normally, Huang Shaotian wouldn't stay up this late; he probably only stays up this late during holidays.

Yu Wenzhou checked the time; it was already 2 a.m. before he knew it. It was time to rest for a while. Recently, not only were the tactical masters exhausted, but the players were also preparing for their team's first home game.

The main venue for this event is the largest venue – the Phoenix Venue. This stage is the largest in China and even ranks among the top in the world. Many large-scale events have been held here.
Today, Ye Xiu and his teammates finally have the opportunity to step onto this sacred stage and win glory for their country. This idea may have seemed very distant to them before, but now it has become a reality.
"Let's go—it's our turn to enter!"

Ye Xiu, as the captain, donned a red robe and led the red legion of the Chinese people on an attack!

"Old Ye, not bad at all, you've got the makings—"

Looking at Old Ye's imposing presence, Mo Qian noticed that every member of the team wore a custom-made uniform, making each one unique. The bright red robes also featured the characteristics of Ye Xiu and the other players.
Some are nicknames, others are achievements. For example, on Mo Qian's team uniform, the extremely special title "Sword Immortal" is embroidered on Mo Qian's chest. Everyone knows that this is Ye Xiu's sharpest sword! Sweeping away everything—

"Welcome everyone to the Phoenix Arena. This is the first round of the World Invitational Tournament. The Chinese team has been assigned to a group with four teams, which are..."

Chinese team

Japan team

Greek team

Indian team

Only by advancing from the group stage can teams reach the quarterfinals. However, the Chinese team currently holds a commanding lead in points, meaning that if they win this second half of the match, they will essentially secure one of their spots in the quarterfinals.

China's first opponent is Japan, and their second opponent should be Greece. The first half of Greece's match against India is already over, with Greece securing a comfortable victory.

Greece's captain, Heracross, is no pushover; he's known as the "God of War." Ye Xiu and Yu Wenzhou have already studied him beforehand, and he's likely to be an extremely formidable opponent.

However, the most important thing right now is the match at hand, and the priority is to beat the Japanese team!
