As Zhou Yichen returned to the Chinese team's bench, the wave of applause slowly subsided.

When Zhou Yichen returned, the Chinese team applauded him.

Zhou Yichen's performance in this arena match can only be described in two words:

perfect!

Huang Shaotian picked up the water bottle and was about to hand it to Zhou Yichen when Chu Yunxiu snatched it away in the next second.

"I go!"

"Come and have a drink of water."

Before Zhou Yichen could even take the water bottle, Chu Yunxiu had already put the mouth of the bottle over to him.

Zhou Yichen wasn't embarrassed at all; he opened his mouth and started smacking his lips.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Chu Yunxiu's face flushed red instantly, and then she covered Zhou Yichen's face with a towel.

"Pfft!" Su Mucheng couldn't help but burst out laughing first.
"You little slut!" Chu Yunxiu cursed.

"You too."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you two are really something!" Ye Xiu teased.

"What? What?!" Huang Shaotian was completely confused.

"If you can't drink, fine, but you don't even know this. Go sit at the same table as the kids when you eat!" Li Xuan waved his hand and said.

"What the hell? Who said I can't drink it!" Huang Shaotian's temper flared up instantly.

"Alright, seeing how angry you are, go up there!" Ye Xiu waved his hand and said.

"Huh?" Huang Shaotian pointed to himself. "Wasn't I fourth in line?"

"If you don't want to move it up, then forget it," Ye Xiu said regretfully.

"No way, Lao Ye, I love you to death, hahaha!" With that, Huang Shaotian grabbed his account card and peripherals and headed towards the battle booth.

"Wow, there are gay men here!"

"Isn't Old Wang the second choice?" Zhou Yichen asked.

Before we got to know each other, I called him Wang Jiexi, the great god/senior. But now that we're familiar, I call him Old Wang next door.

"Since the Korean team wants to play slowly, then we'll play along to the end," Ye Xiu said.

How can they bully Zhou Yichen and still live so comfortably?

With a two-point advantage, they can play however they want from now on.
After Huang Shaotian entered the game, he did not rush to finish off the low-health Gumayusi. Instead, he played around with the enemy.

Gumayusi clearly forgot one thing: when facing Huang Shaotian, remember to adjust the settings at the start of the game.

The consequence of forgetting is that he will have to endure endless attacks from text bubbles.

This image is already convoluted, and then the text bubbles that pop up from time to time keep obstructing the view.

Gumayusi, with its remaining health, had not yet dropped below 10%, but its operator, Li Meijiong, was already at low health.

He had never encountered such a disgusting opponent.
He kept sending text bubbles, occasionally flashing in to steal a few swords.

The feeling of being manipulated is as unpleasant as eating shit.

Thirty-two percent of health points
Huang Shaotian fought for a full fifteen minutes, while Ye Yushengfan only lost 21% of his health.

As for Li Meijiong, he has already become a thoroughly corrupt official.

3 to 1,

Just like in the first round, in fourth place, South Korea's representative is Jung Ji-hoon.

Having learned from Li Meijiong's experience, the first thing Zheng Zhixun did upon entering the competition was to open the settings and reduce the opacity of the text bubble to the lowest possible level.

Then I minimized the public channel in the bottom left corner.
"Damn it, I hate magic scholars!"

Huang Shaotian left behind these words before collapsing under Zheng Zhixun's broom.

3 to 2,

South Korea pulled back a point with a strong performance.
However, when the third Chinese player entered the game, the South Korean team realized something was wrong.

Fang Rui, a Qigong master contestant who rarely competed before, appeared in the third position.

China Team: Fang Rui, ID: Hai Wuliang, Occupation: Qigong Master.

"This drawing is simply a gift from heaven, designed for Fang Rui," Xiao Shiqin said with a smile.

This match lasted for more than twenty minutes. The audience went from excitement at the beginning to disbelief in the middle, and finally to numbness at the end.

Fang Rui,

So obscene!

Park Jae-hyuk, a qigong master from the South Korean team, held his head in his hands, finding it hard to believe that qigong masters could do this.

Utterly despicable!

Throughout the entire game, he was dodging Zheng Zhixun's attacks. Even though he was a magic scholar, Fang Rui always managed to find a way to disappear from his sight.

Whether it's utilizing the terrain or the visual effects of skills.

Finally, Jung Ji-hoon watched, his face flushed, as his character died under the boundless energy wave of the sea.

"Mental state," Lee Sang-hyeok said to Jung Ji-hoon, who had been sitting silently in the players' bench since returning.

Jung Ji-hoon is a newcomer whom Lee Sang-hyeok highly regards, and he has shown great promise since his debut.

However, he also has a problem: his mentality tends to fluctuate when playing in major competitions.

What a weakling in the competition!
This is how fans of the Korean team describe him: "A dragon in domestic battles, a worm in international battles."

The defending champion of the South Korean team is naturally Lee Sang-hyeok, the "Big Boss" who didn't even play in the first round.

"What great demon king? Watch me annihilate him in an instant!" Fang Rui now felt extremely powerful.

South Korean team: Lee Sang-hyeok, ID: faxer, profession: Warlock.

Faker, loading complete.

Map: Road to Survival, loading complete.

After entering the map, Faker did not choose to head towards the mid lane, but instead went to the river instead.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he crossed the river alone, and around a corner, people discovered that Faker had appeared behind Hai Wuliang.

"Holy crap!" Huang Shaotian rubbed his eyes.

“This is what X-ray vision is all about!” Sun Xiang said, pointing to the holographic projection.

Faker perfectly predicted Fang Rui's movement.
"You can't guess," said Li Yibo, the commentator, shaking his head.

At this moment, Fang Rui, a master of the sneaky style, would definitely be wary of every corner, but he wouldn't be wary of his backside.

"Hehe, if you search this corner, I'll just eat you!" Fang Rui casually manipulated Hai Wuliang to hide in a very sparse corner.

On his other side was a very dense thicket of bushes. Fang Rui had the opposite idea. Normally, people would search the bushes on the left first, so if he hid on the right, he would have a chance to get close to the opponent and then give him a good blow.

Ironically, Faker could now clearly see all of Hai Wuliang's actions from his first-person perspective.

"Pfft!" Seeing this, Zhou Yichen could hardly hold back his laughter.

Although Fang Rui was his teammate, this scene was just too dramatic.

Lee Sang-hyeok was visibly stunned for a moment when he saw Hai Wuliang's big butt.

What is this doing?
After a moment of hesitation, Lee Sang-hyeok decisively activated his character to release the magic circle.

"Huh?" Fang Rui realized something was wrong. "Damn it! We've been discovered!" By the time he realized what was happening, countless dark purple arrows were falling from the sky.

Rain of Chaos!

Although Rain of Chaos only deals low dark magic damage, it has a high chance of inflicting confusion on enemies within its range.

Sure enough, before Hai Wuliang could activate his steel body, he fell into a state of chaos.

With a wave of his hand, Faker unleashed a gigantic dark claw that suddenly appeared from the chaotic void, reaching out to grab Hai Wuliang.

Before landing, Faker continued chanting, and as the magic circle rose, Hai Wuliang was forcibly levitated.

Elemental power!

"send!"

Looking at the grayed-out steel frame, Fang Rui felt somewhat helpless.

Soul-Striking Technique!
The black light struck Hai Wuliang, who suffered dark magic damage and fell into a trance state (unable to perform actions).

Combined with the binding spell, Hai Wuliang was bound and imprisoned by the black light.

"Impressive," Yu Wenzhou exclaimed.
“Every move targets Hai Wuliang’s weak point. This is the first time I’ve seen a warlock execute such a combo,” Xiao Shiqin said, adjusting his glasses.

Throughout the entire match, Fang Rui had almost no chance to retaliate.

A qigong master was killed by a sorcerer.
When the match ended, Fang Rui was completely stunned.

Because from the start to the end of the game, he didn't even touch Faker's clothes.

"That's amazing!" Yu Wenzhou clapped his hands. This is how a warlock should play, but unfortunately, his hand speed couldn't keep up.

Yu Wenzhou often used the Soul Strike and Binding Technique combo, but he had never used it so smoothly.

Even during the gaps between his combos, Faker can still manage to land a few more basic attacks.

4 to 3,

China is currently in the lead.

"Then I'll go." Tang Hao took a deep breath.

As a man who has to fight hard in every match of this World Invitational Tournament, Tang Hao naturally wouldn't miss this one.

"Go for it!" The others also offered their blessings to Tang Hao.

Team China: Tang Hao, ID: Tang San Da, Occupation: Rogue.

Once the game started, Tang Hao's style remained as straightforward as ever.

Upon reaching the corner of the middle road, he jumped over it without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lee Sang-hyeok's sorcerer Faker arrived late. Tang San was startled and then charged towards Faker.

"Trying to seize the initiative in the attack by using high speed, Tang Hao is getting more and more shrewd," Li Xuan commented from the audience.

“Tang Hao is also a veteran player,” Xiao Shiqin said.

It had been ten years since the glory was established, and Xiao Shiqin only then realized that he had been fighting for seven years.

Although Tang Hao's reckless playstyle ultimately failed to defeat the experienced Faker, his claws still left marks on Faker.

4 to 4,

The South Korean team equalized the score, pushing the atmosphere in the stadium to another climax.

At this point, Faker had 40% health remaining. Whether he could pull off a 1v3 was anyone's guess.

"I'm going to the last match." Ye Xiu smiled and took off his coat.

The king meets the king!
Team China: Ye Xiu, ID: Lord Grim, Occupation: Full-time unspecialized player.

This was a contest between captains, but unfortunately, Faker was already low on health, while Lord Grim was at full health and mana.

Seeing that his opponent was a troublesome free-form fighter, Lee Sang-hyeok's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he had long wanted to test his skills against this free-form fighter.

As a player with many different professional experiences in the game, Lord Grim is the role that Lee Sang-hyeok has always dreamed of playing.

He encountered them today, but unfortunately, they were rivals.

"3, 2, 1, fight!"

The countdown has ended, and the final match of the second round of the grand finals has begun.

The instant Lord Grim charged out, he immediately drew the short sword hidden in the umbrella handle.
shhhhhh!
Three-section slash!
In a short while, Lord Grim arrived at the center of the map.

He then crouched down and released a robot to scout the area.

Mechanical tracking!

"My God, it's true that all 24 professional skills can be used!" Although he had seen it in a video before, seeing it in person still felt incredibly incredible to Liu Minxi.

The person who designed this weapon is a true genius!
Just like Tang San in the previous game, Lord Grim released his little robot and then jumped over the high wall.

For a moment, Faker's attention was completely drawn to the little robot.

Lord Grim leaped out, and the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella transformed from a spear into a gun.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang…
Bullets kept hitting Faker. Seeing this, Lee Sang-hyeok summoned the Dark Mirror to envelop himself. The magic mirror floated in the air and could block most magic and physical attacks.

Warlock's level 65 parry skill - Magic Mirror!
In one-on-one combat, the Magic Mirror is a very powerful counter skill for warlocks.

However, warlocks are rarely seen in team matches.

The reason is simple: the magic mirror can only block single-target skills, not group skills.

Lord Grim stepped forward, and Faker chanted a spell aimed at him, but the next second Lord Grim vanished from his spot.

"Shadow Clone!" Lee Sang-hyeok swiped the mouse to change the view, but Lord Grim had already emerged from under his feet.

Earth Core Decapitation Technique!
"No matter how many times you watch it, Lord Grim is a bug-level character," commentator Li Ju said, shaking his head.

Since Lord Grim debuted, he has only lost one match, which was the first match of the first round of the Glory Season 10 Finals. Zhou Yichen's Ethereal Stardust skillfully defeated Ye Xiu's Lord Grim with a vine spike.

It can only be said that Ye Xiu's decisive vine spike attack in the first season finale of One Autumn Leaf ultimately backfired on himself.

Although Lee Sang-hyeok's consciousness was already extremely heightened, he had predicted Lord Grim's actions multiple times.

But there are just too many minor skills.
Especially Shield Slam, which Faker, as a warlock, couldn't block at all.

Because from a first-person perspective, all you see are umbrellas!
In the end, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim defeated Lee Sang-hyeok's Faker without shedding a drop of blood, maintaining the Chinese team's 100% win rate in the arena matches.

After the match, Lee Sang-hyeok did not say anything, but quietly packed up his peripherals.

5 to 4,

In his view, it was already a very close score.
If South Korea can win the team match, they will be able to tie the score at 1-1 in this round.

As for the Chinese team, what they need to do now is figure out how to deal with the South Korean team in the team competition, since it's their turn to make a move this time.

"How about we stick to the safest lineup, two battle mages?" Yu Wenzhou suggested.

Since the start of training for the World Invitational Tournament, Zhou Yichen and Sun Xiang's dual Battle Mage duo has consistently been the combination with the highest win rate.

Since two battle mages need to be paired with a stable and efficient damage dealer, Zhou Zekai will also be in this team.

“Two battle mages, I feel that will be the Korean team’s main target,” Xiao Shiqin said.

At this moment, everyone turned to look at Zhou Yichen and Sun Xiang.

"I don't care. If they want to target me, then let them!" Zhou Yichen remained as confident as ever.

And Sun Xiang...
