The King's Avatar: Reborn Sun Xiang, Girlfriend Su Mucheng

During the team competition, Samsara chose the map they were most familiar with, determined to defeat Happy directly in the team competition.

However, this map of theirs happens to be the map that Happy is most familiar with.

Despite Ye Xiu's miraculous tactical arrangements, Team Samsara actually lost the team match.

In that case, both the arena battles and the team battles would be lost in turn.

This is a huge blow to Cycle on their home turf.

They originally thought that defeating Happy on their home turf would be a piece of cake.

But in the end, they lost.

The audience fell silent, unable to accept such a defeat.

In the post-match interview, Zhou Zekai remained silent.

He also couldn't accept such a defeat.

Jiang Botao told the media, "We accept today's defeat with equanimity. We did underestimate Happy, but we have no reason to lose the next game."

"Our goal this year is the championship. We will not fall in the first round, absolutely not."

However, in the interview with Happy, Happy's answer was the same.

When asked by reporters, Ye Xiu replied: "This victory tells us that no matter how strong the opponent is, as long as we at Happy can work together and perform well, there is no opponent we cannot defeat. No matter who we face, we have a chance to win."

"Is your goal still to win the championship?" the reporter asked again.

"Of course, it's not just us at Happy, I believe every team that makes it to the playoffs in the Glory League is eager for the championship."

"Some people online are saying that if you win the championship this season, you plan to retire next season?" the reporter asked again.

"You yourself said that was just hearsay, something that's been said before, nothing of the sort." Ye Xiu didn't answer the question.

Actually, his idea is that no matter how Happy performs this season, he will choose to retire.

It's not just because he's been away from home for ten years and it's time for him to go home.

More often than not, it's because it's too mentally taxing for independent people.

Given his current condition, playing as a casual player for a year is enough for him. If he plays as a casual player for another year, he won't be able to handle it.

But now is definitely not the time to reveal such things. It's the playoffs now, and what my teammates need is a roar of morale.

In the hearts of the Happy team members, they hope that Ye Xiu can play for another ten years. Only when Ye Xiu is there can they have confidence.

If Ye Xiu were to say he would retire after this season, their morale might falter, and they might become distracted during the match.

After the match between Happy and Samsara ended, Tiny Herb and Blue Rain quickly began their match.

Tiny Herb finally secured victory on their home turf.

Blue Rain is very strong this season. After Lu Hanwen debuted, Blue Rain feels like it has returned to the sixth season.

Blue Rain's tactics revolve around Lu Hanwen, while Huang Shaotian's independent regiment is detached from the tactics.

This way, Huang Shaotian can freely harass Wang Jiexi of Team Tiny Herb.

Even after fighting Huang Shaotian for so many years, Wang Jiexi still feels a headache when facing Huang Shaotian.

Tiny Herb's team is no weaker than Blue Rain's; their substitutes and rotation lineup are even the strongest in the entire league.

However, once Wang Jiexi was restrained by Huang Shaotian, the entire Tiny Herb team seemed to lose its soul and its backbone.

In their last match at Blue Rain's home stadium, they used the same method to defeat Tiny Herb.

However, this time when Tiny Herb was playing on their home turf, they made tactical adjustments and, combined with their home-field advantage in map selection, they were able to counter Blue Rain in terms of map choice.

They ultimately won Game 2, leveling the score to 1-1.

Tomorrow will be their battle for third place, just like Samsara and Happy.

The first round of the playoffs will conclude tomorrow, and the final two teams will advance to the semifinals.

Which two teams will advance?

Not only are the audience looking forward to it, but Sun Xiang and his teammates are also looking forward to it.

Because the teams that advance will determine their opponents in the next round of the semifinals.

If Happy advances to the semifinals, then Excellent Era will be the team Happy plays in the semifinals.

If Happy is eliminated, but Blue Rain advances to the semifinals, then Excellent Era's opponent in the semifinals will be Blue Rain.

If neither Blue Rain nor Happy advance, then Excellent Era's opponent in the semifinals will be Tiny Herb.

In contrast, Sun Xiang hopes that Happy can advance to the semifinals.

It wasn't just because Happy's lineup had more obvious flaws than other teams, but more importantly because Sun Xiang wanted to have a real match with Ye Xiu.

Because he knew that Ye Xiu would likely announce his retirement after this season.

In that case, he wouldn't have the chance to face Ye Xiu on the field.

If Sun Xiang fails to defeat Ye Xiu, the God of Glory, it will significantly impact his chances of solidifying his position as the greatest player in Glory history. However, if Sun Xiang can defeat Ye Xiu in the Glory League, he will be able to surpass Ye Xiu when evaluating the greatest player in Glory history.

Although he himself wasn't very confident about defeating Ye Xiu.

Even if it's a 50/50 or even a 40/60 chance against Ye Xiu, he'll still give it a try.

As Sun Xiang had been eagerly anticipating, the final battle of the first round began.

At 6 PM on June 22nd, Team Happy took to the stage at Team Samsara's home stadium.

Ye Xiu walked at the front of the group, followed by Tang Rou, Qiao Yifan, and a group of young new faces.

Although they were all newcomers, their faces radiated confidence and positivity.

They have no pressure, only motivation.

Because they are barefoot, while reincarnation belongs to those who wear shoes.

They either win today, or they make a name for themselves.

Either you lose, or you try again next time.

For a newly formed team, making it to the playoffs was already beyond most people's expectations.

So what if we lose?
Winning would be even better.

They have no pressure.

However, the contestants on the Samsara side seemed rather heavy-hearted.

Their faces showed determination and pressure, unlike the relaxed demeanor of the members of Happy.

Because they carry too much on their shoulders.

Since winning the championship in the eighth season, they have been looking forward to breaking Excellent Era's record and winning three, four, or even more championships in the Glory League.

However, in the ninth season, Team Excellent Era rose to prominence and they lost.

This season, I ran into that damned Ye Xiu again.

They absolutely cannot afford to lose again.

If we lose to Happy, then Happy will be the unlucky team to defeat us.

That's even more embarrassing than losing the finals.

In these two completely different atmospheres, the battle for third place began.

Ye Xiu was still the first player to start in the arena match, and Zhou Zekai also finally started this time.

He wants to confront Ye Xiu head-on!
For the map, Zhou Zekai chose the stalactite cave.

This image is more favorable to a sharpshooter like Zhou Zekai, and it's clear that Zhou Zekai is very determined to defeat Ye Xiu.

The two also engaged in a fierce battle on this map.

Zhou Zekai is hailed as the number one player in Glory after Ye Xiu, and his strength is indeed formidable. In his battle against Ye Xiu's unaffiliated character, he was not at all at a disadvantage.

The two fought at an extremely fast pace, exchanging blows back and forth, yet neither character's health bar decreased.

Because they dodged all of the opponent's attacks with their superior skills.

As the battle continued for ten minutes, a visible difference in health points appeared between the two sides.

At this point, Lord Grim's health was 21% remaining, and One Shot Through the Clouds' health was 15% remaining.

Zhou Zekai is lagging behind.

In this situation, Zhou Zekai had no choice but to forcefully execute the quick-sniping maneuver he had developed last summer.

His quick-scoping technique caused Sun Xiang a great deal of trouble when they faced off.

He used the same technique against Ye Xiu this time.

And it also successfully hit Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.

However, Lord Grim's weapon is fully analytical; the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella can transform into a shield.

Therefore, Zhou Zekai's two quick-sniping attempts were both blocked by Ye Xiu's shield.

After the damage reduction is 75%, the Barrett sniper rifle's damage becomes quite average.

Although the Barrett sniper rifle failed to establish its authority, Zhou Zekai did not give up.

With both players having the same amount of health, Zhou Zekai still has a chance to defeat Ye Xiu.

The duel lasted for nearly fifteen minutes before a winner was decided. Unfortunately, Zhou Zekai lost to Ye Xiu by a mere 0.6% health difference.

0.6%!
If Zhou Zekai can land two more normal attacks on Lord Grim, he can secure the victory.

Unfortunately, they lost because of that 0.6% of their health.

The outcome was now decided; the winner was immediately apparent. (End of Chapter)
