The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

In the match against the American team, Ye Xiu's team still chose to rotate players as much as possible in the individual matches and put their main players in the team matches.

Although this would make the Chinese team's score look less appealing, Ye Xiu had his own reasons.

The purpose of participating in this World Invitational Tournament is not only to ensure that the Chinese team can win the championship, but also to make the Chinese players famous.

Even though a substitute is a substitute, they can't really not play a single game.

The three athletes competing in this individual event are Yang Cong, Tang Hao, and Sun Xiang.

The contestants who appeared in the arena were Su Mucheng, Zhang Jiale, and Wang Jiexi.

The team lineup for the subsequent team competition was naturally Zhang Xinjie, Zhou Zekai, An Ning, Chu Yunxiu, and Huang Shaotian, with Li Xuan as the sixth player.

Yu Wenzhou and Xiao Shiqin, on the other hand, chose to be substitutes in this match.

In the three individual matches, Yang Cong and Tang Hao both lost to each other.

"This American team is really not to be underestimated."

Yu Wenzhou, sitting in the audience, also spoke.

"That's right, their swordsman and qi master are already at a top level, I heard they're top-tier."

Bai Shu said.

"That's it..."

Xiao Shiqin glanced at the two veterans.

Such a player must have been a key player in a top league back in the day.

In the ring match, with the main players of the American team coming and going, the third player from the Chinese team also appeared.

"This level..."

Even Ye Xiu was quite surprised.

This American team's two-sword knight is indeed quite formidable.

For this match, he even changed his fighting style. He used both swords in his normal stance, but could also switch to his shield to unleash some survival skills.

You can tell he didn't allocate many skill points to these skills, but it's enough for him.

This move caused Su Mucheng and Zhang Jiale a lot of trouble, and he almost managed to defeat them both.

If Zhang Jiale hadn't desperately dragged the opponent's second contestant into the water, the match would probably have been in serious trouble.

Wang Jiexi almost had to unleash the magician's fighting style.

And then the team competition.

The American team employed a double-cavalry strategy, which directly limited Zhou Zekai's performance.

Meanwhile, Huang Shaotian was also entangled with the American qigong master.

Although this Qigong master could not match Huang Shaotian in terms of operation and hand speed, he was no less experienced. By utilizing the characteristics of the map, he also prevented Huang Shaotian, this wandering sharp blade, from taking his position.

The two knights charged directly into the Chinese team's formation.

Although Chu Yunxiu was keeping a close eye on the battlefield situation, the speed of the two American knights was simply too fast.

It was as if... two Annings were charging into battle.

"Holy crap, he's on drugs!"

Even the Chinese team players who weren't playing were somewhat surprised.

Meanwhile, An Ning was also being restricted by the opponent's ranged classes.

"Could it be... that we're going to crash and burn here?"

Even Zhang Xinjie, who was in command position, frowned.

"A true hero should make his appearance at this moment."

At this moment, An Ning's actions also made the foreign commentator in charge shout.

A heroic leap.

He reappeared in the audience's sight like a savior once again.

Then, holding up his shield, he blocked the attack of the second knight of the American team, and then slashed at Captain America with his longsword.

"WTF!"

Captain America Simon was also somewhat surprised to see this knight suddenly appear.

"Sorry, Captain, I couldn't hold him back."

The sharpshooter for Team America also spoke on the channel.

"Not urgent!"

After Simon finished speaking, he also brandished his twin swords and charged towards the silver light on the tranquil screen.

"Being a hero isn't that easy!"

The twin swords slashed down. The silver light on the screen lost a significant amount of health.

Although the Knight class is a tank, Simon's Knight is all about damage.

With top-tier equipment, his damage output can rival that of a swordsman.

"A hero..."

Upon seeing the word "hero" in the other person's message, An Ning's lips twitched slightly.

"Then give it a try."

Then, a sword pierced Simon directly.

"It's Storm Counterattack, when was it used?"

Even Simon was somewhat incredulous.

"It was used from the very beginning."

The sharpshooter from Team USA said.

Before launching the Heroic Leap, Anning had already initiated the Storm Counterattack.

Therefore, An Ning never even considered dodging when faced with the opponent's attack.

With the passive support, An Ning was able to launch a counterattack.

Simon's health dropped by half instantly.

"You're the one who wants to be a hero, but you're not qualified."

Then, Anning handed the ball to the second knight of the American team, and then unleashed his ultimate move.

The Crusades.

"Simon... has been defeated!"

The commentator also seemed somewhat incredulous.

But then, the director switched the camera to Zhou Zekai.

Zhou Zekai switched the perspective with a "cold" expression.

Anning's single Crusade was not enough to defeat Simon.

But with Zhou Zekai added, things change.

The audience also noticed this handsome Chinese man who had always seemed "aloof".

Wow, behind every handsome guy is an even more handsome guy!

The popularity of Zhou Zekai's appearance transcends national borders.

Unlike An Ning, whose popularity stemmed from her difficult experiences, Zhou Zekai gained attention from foreigners purely through his talent and good looks.

In particular, after the second shot accurately sniped the American sharpshooter in the distance and hit him in the head.

Simon's quick defeat undoubtedly had a huge impact on the morale of the US team.

Although the vice-captain of the US team immediately took over the team, he was still unable to turn the tide.

In this instance, An Ning once again stole the spotlight, and unlike the last time, Zhou Zekai also gained fame along with her.

After defeating the American team, a second round of matches was held.

The World Invitational Tournament features almost one match per day, requiring the Chinese team players to make adjustments as well.

Therefore, in the second round, An Ning was arranged to appear in the ring match, while in the team match, another group of players were substituted.

Anning's performance in the second round was also commendable.

He perfectly fulfilled his responsibilities and helped the team secure victory.

The Chinese team, naturally, also emerged as the top team in their group.

The second team to qualify was surprisingly different.

Simon's American team failed to break through the encirclement and was eliminated by the Russian team, who were two points ahead.

The teams for the quarterfinals have also been determined.

In the battle for the top four.

England vs. Netherlands.

Germany vs. Russia.

South Korea vs. France.

China, on the other hand, will face Switzerland, the team that previously played a friendly match against them.

This also proves that Switzerland, as the host country, did not engage in any shady dealings.

Otherwise, they would have to avoid playing against both China and England, no matter what. (End of Chapter)
