The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 82 Ye Xiu: Old Wei, let me be frank, I have feelings for you—

"Old Wei, your silver weapon is pretty good—where did you get it? The damage looks so high!"

While Ye Xiu and Wang Jiexi were simultaneously playing mixed doubles against Wei Tan, Ye Xiu curiously inquired about the origin of Wei Tan's weapon.
Ye Xiu recognized Lao Wei long ago. That sleazy figure and that clumsy disguise—who else could it be but that shameless Lao Wei!
However, Lao Wei's disguise skills were actually quite superb, and his positioning was also not bad. It's just that Ye Xiu knew Lao Wei, who had no bottom line, too well, which is why he was able to spot Lao Wei's figure in the crowd at a glance.
Old Wei's eyesight was second to none; he immediately recognized Ye Xiu's true identity. What "sunny and cheerful big boy"? This was clearly the "cunning and treacherous little adult" Ye Xiu! How could Wei Tan not be familiar with Ye Xiu's Battle Mage skills? He was intimately familiar with them; he could tell at a glance that Ye Xiu was no ordinary person!
When Wei Tan heard that Ye Xiu was eyeing his silver weapon, he thought, "This won't do! This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Nonsense, of course I made this myself. Let me tell you, don't even think about taking my silver weapon. If you dare, I'll fight you!"

Wei Tan had put in a lot of effort to create this silver weapon, finally crafting such a top-quality one. Wei Tan didn't even know why he had created it in the first place; perhaps it was out of hope for the professional arena, or perhaps it was simply to fulfill an unfulfilled dream.
Regardless, what's done is done, there's no other reason. Perhaps only Ye Xiu can truly understand what Lao Wei is thinking.

Ye Xiu saw things very clearly. When he learned that Wei Tan had actually made this silver weapon himself, he completely understood Wei Tan's thoughts. Wasn't he still reluctant to leave the professional arena? Old Wei's retirement at the time was only because he saw Yu Wenzhou's talent and believed that Yu Wenzhou truly had the ability to lead the Blue Rain team to the top, which is why he firmly chose Yu Wenzhou.

Otherwise, do you really think Wei Tan would retire just because he lost to the clumsy Yu Wenzhou? Old Wei, being so shameless, wouldn't care much about winning or losing that match. Okay, actually, Old Wei does care, but that's not the main reason. The main reason is that Old Wei himself simply can't get over it.
The Blue Rain team already had a leader even better than him, so Wei Tan naturally wouldn't cling to his position. Old Wei also deeply loved the Blue Rain team, so he wanted them to improve and unhesitatingly passed the captaincy to Yu Wenzhou. Yu Wenzhou did not disappoint Wei Tan's trust.
Yu Wenzhou helped Blue Rain team win the playoff championship in his own way. Although the team's strength was instantly halved due to the ban on voice chat, which caused the team to not win the championship again, Blue Rain team's performance has always been good. They have always been one of the strong teams in the league, and no one would underestimate such a team!
Although the sneaky and ambush tactics that Wei Tan used to employ are no longer present in Yu Wenzhou's team—those were frequently employed under his leadership—it's not that these tactics are inferior, but rather that they no longer suit the current Blue Rain team. The current Blue Rain team requires exceptional teamwork and relentless attacking prowess. Blue Rain's teamwork is among the most enjoyable to watch in the league.
As the saying goes, when it comes to team battles in Glory of Kings, the true test of skill is in Blue Rain. Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian are affectionately known in the league as the "Sword and Curse" duo, a combination that perfectly illustrates Blue Rain's strength.
Seeing Blue Rain's team getting better and better, Wei Tan felt proud, which also fueled his fighting spirit. Why couldn't Wei Tan return to the professional arena and play one more match? At least he could face the current Blue Rain team and personally test their level.
Thus began Wei Tan's arduous journey of crafting this silver weapon. Fortunately, given Wei Tan's unscrupulous skill level, obtaining the materials wasn't too difficult. Wei Tan's material-gathering speed was only slightly slower than Ye Xiu's. That's Wei Tan's ability. Even if things went wrong, Wei Tan still had his underlings to help him get the materials, and they weren't much slower than Ye Xiu.
The main reason Ye Xiu progressed so quickly was thanks to Lan He—besides Lan He, other major guilds also contributed a lot of materials for Lord Grim's Thousand Chance Umbrella and Sword Immortal Mo Qian's [One Thought God and Demon]—

But actually, Wei Tan's silver weapon isn't bad either, otherwise Ye Xiu wouldn't have taken a liking to it—no, I should say admired it. Ye Xiu really wasn't interested in Wei Tan's silver weapon, really.
Ye Xiu was only interested in Wei Tan, that's for sure. Ye Xiu wanted to bring this veteran player, Wei Tan, into his team.

Team Happy is still in its early stages and there is a lot of work to be done. The most important thing is to get the basic team members together, otherwise how can they compete in the professional scene? If they can't even get a spot, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"By the way, Lao Wei, you know I'm forming a team to make a comeback, right? What do you think? Any ideas?"

"Nonsense, that 'Dragon Head Rising' move of yours, even a fool knows what you're trying to do, it was incredibly impressive—"

Wei Tan was sharp-tongued, but his sarcastic tone completely betrayed his true feelings. He admired Ye Xiu's courage; Ye Xiu dared to directly demonstrate his bravery by using a Dragon Head Raise at the All-Star Weekend to prove he hadn't left and would return.

But Wei Tan could only craft a silver weapon in the online game, quietly waiting for his opportunity to arrive. Little did he know that opportunity wouldn't come so easily; it was in the hands of those who were prepared.

Wei Tan, on the other hand, was clearly not ready, otherwise he would have announced his comeback online. But in reality, he seemed quite listless and weak.

Wei Tan is just one person. He doesn't have a team like Ye Xiu or talented newcomers like Tang Rou or Baozi. Wei Tan alone cannot make a comeback. Glory is not a game for one person. It is definitely not possible for one person to make a comeback.

"Hehe, Lao Wei, let me be blunt, I have feelings for you—"

Ye Xiu got straight to the point, saying that he really needed an experienced veteran like Lao Wei to help him. With only Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, he was a bit stretched thin, but with Lao Wei added, the veteran players would be more than enough.
