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

Zhang Peng was startled, his face full of surprise. He opened his mouth, but only managed to utter one sentence:

"Are you serious?"

In his memory, Ye Fan's gaming talent was only average. Even if he practiced hard, he could barely meet the threshold for the school team assessment, and he would still be eliminated when he actually played.

What's more, he used to be so focused on Xie Ruyan that he was just giving her credit.

They might not even have diamonds now!

Several classmates who were chatting nearby immediately burst into laughter and discussion:

"Ye Fan is going to the school team assessment too? Are you kidding me?"

"With his consistently bottom-of-the-class performance, does he even deserve it?"

"Isn't Xie Ruyan going too? He wouldn't be trying to use her as a stepping stone again, would he?"

Faced with the undisguised mockery around him, Ye Fan remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He glanced at Zhang Peng and said calmly, "Seriously."

Zhang Peng stared at him, feeling that the person in front of him was completely different from the cowardly and stubborn Ye Fan of the past.

After a few seconds of silence, he took out his phone and quickly pressed a few buttons.

The next second, Ye Fan's phone vibrated.

"500 yuan received via Alipay".

Ye Fan looked up at him.

Zhang Peng's eyes darted around, he scratched his head, and his tone was stiff:

"Don't overthink it. I just saw you've been struggling financially lately. Take this money and buy some food. Don't waste it on anything..."

He didn't finish his sentence. After saying that, he turned his face away, looking like he couldn't be bothered to say anything more, but his fingers unconsciously clenched, as if waiting for him to refuse, yet also afraid that he would really refuse.

"Thanks." Ye Fan waved his phone. "I'm off."

Zhang Peng stood there, gazing at Ye Fan's tall, straight back, and sighed softly. For some reason, he felt with unusual clarity that the Ye Fan who used to be so aimless and confused was gone.

Before even reaching the esports arena, I could see a man and a woman standing at the entrance, behaving intimately.

The girl had rosy lips and white teeth, and was extremely beautiful.

Her dark brown, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, the natural curls at the ends accentuating her slender neck and shoulders.

She wore a beige off-shoulder knit sweater with loose lantern sleeves that revealed her delicate collarbone and a small section of her waist. She wore a silver cross necklace around her neck, which was both cool and eye-catching.

She wore light makeup, with a small beauty mark at the corner of her eye and a white butterfly decoration at the outer corner of her eye. Her eyebrows and eyes were lively and bright, making her a high-end version of Doubao with a completely upgraded appearance and aura.

(Xie Ruyan)

Ye Fan couldn't help but think to himself: Although the original owner wasn't very bright, her aesthetic sense was quite good.

That makes sense. Someone named Ruyan might be a jerk or a bad person, but she's definitely not ugly!

Seeing Ye Fan approach, Wang Teng couldn't help but sneer:

"Hey, who's this? Isn't this Ye Fan, our department's infamous tagalong? I heard your account dropped to Platinum? Why aren't you playing ranked today? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Xie Ruyan pouted and raised her chin, saying, "Ye Fan, we've already broken up. Can you please stop bothering me? This will only make me look down on you even more."

Ye Fan said coldly, "I'm bothering you? Are you alright? If you're alright, go eat some plums. Was that slap too light?"

"You..." Xie Ruyan subconsciously took a step back, then steeled herself and sneered, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet! Don't expect me to forgive you if you don't kneel down and apologize today!"

"Then I thank you for not forgiving me. Get out of my way, or I'll beat you up again!"

"Ha, you think you can get my attention like this?" Xie Ruyan sneered. "I'm here today for the assessment. If I pass, I'll be a reserve member of the school team, someone you can only look up to for the rest of your life! As for you, you only deserve to rot in the mud!"

Ye Fan nodded calmly: "What a coincidence, I'm here for the assessment too."

"You? You don't even deserve it!" Xie Ruyan laughed sharply. "I left you because you can never see reality!"

Ye Fan sneered inwardly.

The original owner sacrificed his own rank by helping her gain points, and now he's being trampled underfoot—this is the fate of a simp.

"A good dog doesn't block the way." He shoved Xie Ruyan aside and walked straight into the e-sports arena.

Behind her, Xie Ruyan shouted angrily, "Ye Fan, you just wait!"

Wang Teng put his arm around her and gently comforted her, "Don't get angry with a loser. Once you're on the school team, he won't even be worthy of carrying your shoes!"

The esports arena was already packed with people.

The entire school team selection process was broadcast live. Four huge electronic screens were mounted on the wall, broadcasting each match in real time. The students watching were packed in, and two school team members were there to provide commentary.

"There were a lot of applicants this year, 48 people, but only 4 were accepted in the end. It was too competitive."

"I heard some masters are coming to fry fish, this is going to be interesting."

Ye Fan found a staff member to enter the information.

"Name?"

"Ye Fan".

"Rank?"

"The Extraordinary Masters IV".

The staff member looked up abruptly, his eyes wide with surprise: "How much?"

"The Extraordinary Masters IV".

After providing his ID, the staff checked the account in the backend, where a gleaming gold Master icon was prominently displayed. Even just looking at the match history, showing only the last ten games, was enough to make his pupils shrink in shock—

Ten consecutive chicken dinners!

In this version of Teamfight Tactics where climbing to Master rank is all about grinding and grinding, a ten-game winning streak is a feat that even regular members of the school team can only dream of.

"Okay... alright, go in." The staff member snapped out of his daze and quickly handed over the admission ticket.

Ye Fan accepted the admission ticket and entered the arena. Forty-eight computers were neatly arranged, and only the top four would be selected as reserve team members, making the elimination rate extremely high.

If it were the original owner of this body, this points-based assessment wouldn't last three rounds at all.

But sitting here now is a former TOC champion, a world-class chess player who fought his way through hundreds of thousands of players.

The school team assessment is a piece of cake.

Four large screens inside the esports arena broadcast live information from the competition.

To protect player privacy and prevent outside interference, only names, numbers, and ranks will be displayed throughout the event; game IDs will not be disclosed.

Ye Fan's information also lit up:

Name: Ye Fan

No.: 037

Rank: Grandmaster IV

Recent record: 10 consecutive wins

A small commotion instantly erupted in the viewing area.

"Holy crap! A master?"

"I didn't see wrong, did I? That loser was a master?"

"Ten consecutive chickens? Are they trying to fry fish for the school team's assessment?!"

The commentator also noticed the screen and raised an eyebrow:

"Oh? There's a tough one in this group, a ten-game winning streak at Master level, that's something."

Ye Fan remained calm.

Without revealing his ID, no one can connect him with the mysterious online legend who achieved a 25-game winning streak.

It's not time for his identity to be revealed yet.

Many of the other contestants glanced at him subconsciously, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Soon, the examiner appeared, and with his command, the competition officially began!

Everyone enters the matchmaking process simultaneously.

The cutscene is skipped, and the match officially begins.

The opening city-state is the final chapter of Prism.

Prismatic Finale: The last rune enhancement in this round must be Prismatic tier.
