The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 89: Taking down Wei Tan, the team is taking shape! Preparations for the challenger tournament!!!

Ye Xiu understood Wei Tan's feelings. Old Wei absolutely wanted to rejoin the professional scene, but something was holding him back—his bond with all his brothers.
Wei Tan's biggest worry was what would happen to all his brothers if he went pro. They had been with him since shortly after he retired.
Regardless, I've followed Lao Wei for so many years; it's absolutely impossible for me to have no feelings for him at all. Lao Wei doesn't want to give up everything to pursue a professional career anymore. It sounds easy, but it's actually incredibly difficult to do.
Wei Tan has a heart of flesh and blood; he knows what he truly needs, Ye Xiu knows it, Mo Qian knows it, and his underlings know it too.

Unbeknownst to them, Wei Tan's group of brothers had already surrounded him from behind, having clearly seen the chat messages between Ye Xiu and Wei Tan. They weren't stupid; of course they knew what Wei Tan truly couldn't let go of.
They were very sorry that they had dragged Boss Wei down.

When Wei Tan logged off, he noticed the light on the table was dim, and curiously turned around to look.
Goodness, almost everyone is standing behind their seats, I have no idea what they're doing here.

"Hey! You bunch of kids scared me half to death! What are you all doing here, staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?!"

Wei Tan said jokingly, his tone unconsciously revealing his guilty conscience.

With tears in his eyes and a sobbing voice, the second brother shouted loudly:
"Congratulations to Boss Wei on going pro! Everyone, cheer him on!"

"Congratulations, Boss Wei!!!"

"Boss Wei!"

Looking at all his brothers standing in front of him, Wei Tan's eyes involuntarily reddened. How could he bear to part with these lovely people? He smiled and said:
"Who told you I was going to go pro? I'm not going."

But the moment Wei Tan uttered those words, the second brother was the first to disagree. He stepped forward and grabbed Wei Tan by the collar—a move the second brother would never normally dare to make, but now he was truly enraged.

The second brother grabbed Wei Tan with a look of utter disappointment, his tone fierce.
"You have a chance to go pro and you don't take it? Are you stupid? We're a bunch of useless guys who'll spend our whole lives just scraping by in internet cafes. But you, Boss Wei, you're different. You're different from all of us. You have a chance."

Then the second brother swallowed hard, paused for a moment, and then said, as if to comfort Wei Tan,

"Don't worry, Boss Wei, I'll lead everyone on after you leave. So, you better get back to playing professionally!!! Win a championship and show the brothers, so that you can say you know someone who's a champion!"

Wei Tan never expected that his second brother, who was usually so silly, would suddenly make such a insightful statement at this moment. It seems that his second brother has always been "wise in disguise". Wei Tan really loves his second brother.

Wei Tan didn't make a decision hastily. Instead, he looked at the many brothers behind his second brother and asked uncertainly:
"Do you... also think this way?"

To Wei Tan's surprise, everyone nodded. They all wanted their boss to showcase his talent on a bigger stage, rather than having fun in a small internet cafe. "Let's go! It's on me today!"
Wei Tan shouted loudly. He didn't say it was the final farewell dinner, but everyone knew it in their hearts, they just didn't say it outright.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Wei Tan secretly packed his bags, intending to sneak away that night. But as he pushed open the door, he found all his brothers standing there, watching him sneak out with his dog.
"you--"

"We've come to see our leader off on his final journey. From now on, we won't be around to help you. Take care, leader. We'll always be watching over you. Hang in there!"

After leaving these final words, the second brother patted Wei Tan on the shoulder and went back. Then everyone stepped forward and silently whispered their last words of farewell to Old Wei.

"Boss, thank you for taking such good care of me all this time. You have to do your best in the competition!"

"Go, boss!"
When the last person patted Wei Tan on the shoulder and left, Wei Tan finally couldn't hold back his tears. Tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably. The love of his brothers was profound, yet silent and selfless.
Wei Tan burst into tears, secretly vowing in his heart: he must bring back a championship to show them that their Boss Wei is the best!

Wei Tan sets off, destination: Xingxin Internet Cafe in H City!
A similar situation occurred in another internet cafe, but this time there weren't many emotional scenes; Baozi simply explained what happened after he left.
"You guys, remember, after I'm gone, who will dare to cause trouble? If you can't beat them, just call your 'Baozi Brother.' Remember, it doesn't matter, I'll take care of it—"

Baozi is the local tyrant. Within a radius of ten miles, everyone knows the name of Grandpa Baozi. This is not something Baozi boasted about; it is a reputation he earned with his bricks and his street fighting skills.

"But Baozi, are you really going to go pro?"

One of the younger boys asked curiously, and Baozi gently patted his head, confidently replying:
"Of course! Your Baozi-ge (Brother Baozi) will win the championship, just you wait and see!"

S City,
Qianqian started packing her luggage; she was heading to Happy Internet Cafe in H City. Registration for the challenge was about to begin, and Qianqian absolutely couldn't miss it, even if it was just registration.

However, time is actually flying by. The playoffs for the eighth season are about to begin, and after the eighth season playoffs end, the regular season and challenger series for the ninth season will begin.
One thing is certain: this challenge will be a fierce battle. There's more than one professional team, but only one spot will advance. It's anyone's guess which team will emerge victorious!
Mo Qian was currently busy preparing the various materials and forms needed for registration at her computer, while Ye Xiu was beside her, simultaneously operating two computers in front of him, one in each hand, looking extremely skilled. It was clear that this wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

"No way, who even created this form?! I'm speechless!!!"

Mo Qian stared in despair at the vast amount of data and forms, and lodged his complaint with the Alliance!
