Genting: You're supposed to teach us skills, but you're going to perform magical arts?

Game begins

With a population cap of 13, all 8 two-star five-cost cards in place, and a full set of Light equipment, Ye Fan's lineup strength has reached the point where he can kill anyone in his way. There is simply no possibility of him losing on the field.

In this round, his opponent was a player who was playing a Demacia lineup.

The opponent's lineup is indeed strong; Garen and Lux ​​have both been upgraded to two stars, and Galio is quietly lying in the preparation area.

Ye Fan was slightly surprised.

He had been in this world for several days, and this was the first time he had seen someone successfully unlock the special piece Galio.

He couldn't immediately tell whether the other party had stumbled upon it by chance or truly understood the underlying mechanisms.

After all, Galio's unlocking conditions are different from other pieces. He doesn't require any special operations; you only need to reach a total of 12 stars for your Demacia pieces to unlock him.

The Demacia system already has six regular pieces. If all of them are upgraded to two stars, you will have a total of 12 stars, and Galio will be automatically unlocked.

If it's just a coincidence, that's fine. But if the other party really understands this operational strategy, then they are already considered a junior expert among this year's contestants and are very likely to secure a spot in the next round.

Even though he knew his opponent had no chance of winning, Ye Fan still paid extra attention.

Ye Fan felt that his future teammates and competitors deserved respect.

He looked up in the direction of his opponent.

The arena was noisy, but for some reason, Ye Fan's intuition accurately locked onto one person.

As if sensing something, the man raised his head at the same time, his gaze meeting Ye Fan's directly.

The other player simply nodded slightly at him before refocusing their attention on their own game screen.

"It's him!"

Ye Fan instantly recognized that this person was the contestant from the preliminary rounds who had played the Oracle of Frey with a very strategic approach.

He immediately understood.

If it's him, then everything makes sense; the other party must be a highly skilled and capable individual with expertise in operations.

Among the contestants this year, his strength is definitely among the top. If he hadn't run into himself, he would most likely have been the champion of this competition.

Ye Fan silently added this person to his list of key targets for attention.

The battle broke out instantly.

Thirteen pieces loomed like a dark cloud, and eight two-star, five-cost skills poured down. Demacia's shield and light couldn't even withstand it for a second before being crushed into scattered light effects.

The game ended without any suspense.

-23!

Ye Fan's little river spirit opened its mouth and spat out a dazzling beam of light, which slammed into the opponent's little hero, causing him to stagger backward.

The health bar instantly turned red, and the health points were reduced to only 38.

They dropped directly from third place to second to last.

Ye Fan looked up and saw that the other person's expression remained unchanged, showing no change in reaction to the blood.

Come to think of it, the opponent's quality is quite high; apart from Ye Fan, no one else can beat him.

The two have already faced off, and they won't meet again in the next few matches.

So even though you have low health, you are not in danger of being eliminated.

The audience was quite excited at this moment. Everyone was stunned to see the densely packed people on Ye Fan's chessboard.

"13 people? That's incredible! How did they do that?"

"Didn't you see he has three crowns? Each crown adds one population unit, so he currently has exactly three extra population units. No problem!"

"Of course I know about the three crowns, but the question is, where did he get three crowns?"

"Wasn't rune enhancement a kind of coronation ceremony?"

"I know this one, but what about the other two?"

"I'm not entirely sure; there were definitely some actions we weren't aware of. We'll have to wait for the post-match review to find out!"

Ye Fan was unaware that he had already sparked heated discussions, as the game had now reached the monster phase.

Ixtal's mission is complete; currently, there are 1075 fragments.

The 1000th floor reward was automatically activated. Ye Fan's chessboard trembled, and golden light flashed on the screen, soaring into the sky!

These unusual celestial phenomena attracted other contestants to come and watch.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the gleaming three-star Shyvana on Ye Fan's chessboard preparation table.

"What is this? A Samsung 5-cost card?"

It's usually very difficult to get a three-star five-cost unit in ranked matches.

Let alone chasing after them, most players have only seen a handful of three-star five-cost units since the start of the season.

Someone actually chased after a 3-star five-feeder at the school team selection event?

Moreover, this wasn't the first time this person had done it; in the previous preliminary round, the opponent pulled out a three-star Bomber.

Two matches, two three-star five-cost units.

Is it really that easy to get Samsung to spend five coins now?

Everyone couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Especially the last few players, who only knew how to fight with one or two lineups, were now questioning their lives and showing signs of their Dao heart breaking.

Ye Fan had no idea that he had broken the morale of many people.

If he knew, he would definitely—

Increase the force!

I love kicking someone when they're down.

The monsters were like paper to him; Ye Fan didn't even bother to look at the loot. To him, the equipment was nothing but dust; all he was waiting for was the "Reforging Device."

The moment the monster fell, a golden light flashed, and the reforging artifact was obtained!

"Ding!"

Without needing any extra steps, Ye Fan skillfully aimed the recasting device at the unsightly duplicated crown.

A flash of golden light, and the golden spatula crown appeared.

Perfect, all three crowns are complete.

Ye Fan stacked the three crowns on the same chess piece, and the next second, an Easter egg was triggered—

Gold coins rained down from beneath the chess pieces, jingling and covering half the chessboard.

The big screen happened to cut to this scene, and the audience went wild.

"Gold coins keep popping up? What kind of mechanism is this?"

"Is this a bug? Doesn't the official team care?"

What the audience didn't know was that the team leaders backstage were also caught up in a heated discussion when they saw this scene.

"These chess pieces keep popping gold coins, is there a bug in the game?" A manager frowned and stared at the broadcast screen, speaking in a deep voice.

Immediately, someone echoed, their face serious: "This effect is too abnormal. Maybe the contestant deliberately exploited a bug to break the rules and cheat for a better score!"

"Then stop the competition immediately! If it affects fairness, this selection process will be invalid!"

"Not just a suspension, I think Ye Fan should be disqualified from the competition outright. This kind of violation must be severely punished!"

"Knock knock knock..."

A series of tapping sounds rang out on the table.

The chaotic sounds stopped instantly.

The school team captain, who had been silently observing, finally spoke, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Whether it's a bug or a hidden system mechanism, we don't know for now. We can review that after the match, but to say that Ye Fan should be disqualified—I ask you, even without this infinite gold coin effect, couldn't Ye Fan have won?"

Upon hearing this, the backstage area fell silent instantly.

Everyone knew the answer. Ye Fan had a three-star Shyvana, a fully equipped 13-population two-star five-cost card, and the support of the Light equipment. He was already invincible, and winning the game was a sure thing. This gold coin easter egg was just icing on the cake.

Seeing that no one objected, the captain immediately made the decision, his tone firm—
