---------------------------------------------------------------
Zhuo Hang previously didnât like Li Xiaojiang but there were no grudges between them. The two people were of similar age and the small Li Xiaojiang was no threat. Zhuo Hangâs proposal to be friends with him was to ease the relationship between teammates. After all, didnât they have to cooperate in the future?
Cat God said he would send them to play the third match. Zhuo Hang had to learn something from Xie Shurong tomorrow otherwise he didnât really know how he could cooperate with Li Xiaojiang.
***
The next day, Li Cangyu gathered everyone at the hotelâs restaurant and gave a simple explanation of the things they needed to pay attention to.
This afternoon, the Canglan team was arranged for another match. The opponent was a weaker team in the second division and the name was Blades. The teamâs characteristics were the same as the team name and they were filled with melee players who used the clever type style of play.
For the arena stage, he had decided to send Xie Shurong and Li Xiaojiang. For the team battle, Li Cangyu decided to use the lineup of the previous gameâGu Siming, Xiao Han and AâShu as the three melee front row while Li Cangyu, Bai Xuan and Old Zhang were the three remotes back row.
Zhuo Hang didnât need to play today. Li Cangyu wanted him to calm down and study hard. Zhuo Hang naturally didnât have any opinions about this.
After the lineup was properly arranged, Li Cangyu asked everyone to go back to take a nap and raise their spirits for this afternoonâs match.
***
At 3 oâclock in the afternoon, everyone from Canglan rushed to the venue. They entered the playersâ soundproof room and started to prepare for the next game.
The commentator Chen Weiwei turned back and asked her partner, âShao Yu, what do you think the score of this match will be?â
Shao Yu speculated, âI think it will be 14:0.â
Chen Weiwei pretended to be surprised. âDo you mean this match will be a complete steamroll?â
Shao Yu smiled and said, âIf Cat God personally plays in the team battles, the result will surely be two consecutive victories. If AâShu or Cat God appears in the arena, it is easy to win⦠Moreover, the Blades team is a weak team in the second division. If they meet Cat God, their hope of winning isnât big.â
In fact, Chen Weiwei also thought this. Since watching the last match, she admired Cat Godâs personal strength. She always felt it was too much for Cat God to play in the second division. He should quickly finish the second division to face the most powerful teams in the first division.
It was estimated that many players were psychologically aware that Cat God was the ultimate boss of the second division.
The two of them chatted casually for a few minutes before the live game finally began.
The list of players appeared on both sides of the big screen at the same time. The Canglan team sent out the combination of a swordsman and a black magician.
Chen Weiwei was surprised. âThis time he sent out Ashu and Li Xiaojiang. Li Xiaojiang is fighting twice in a row. It seems that Cat God attaches great importance to the player Li Xiaojiang!â
Shao Yu nodded in agreement. âLi Xiaojiang is indeed special. His slow style of play is rare in Miracle. Cat God probably wants to train him well.â
Chen Weiwei said, âThe Blades team has sent two berserkers. The berserkerâs attack power is very strong, especially against the fragile magician class. The axe will be very painful. It depends on whether Li Xiaojiang can control the rhythm well.â
âThen game will start soon. Letâs look at the Canglan teamâs map selection.â
***
Li Cangyu the âDemon Forestâ map that he used yesterday because he wanted Zhuo Hang to see how this forest map that benefited Xiao Li should be played.
Zhuo Hang understood the captainâs good intentions and immediately raised his head, intently staring at the screen.
The game started and the players simultaneously refreshed at two corners of the map.
Xie Shurong didnât rush forward and stayed by Li Xiaojiangâs side like a bodyguard. The two moved together to the centre of the map and saw the other teamâs berserkers rushing over.
The Blades team knew that Li Xiaojiangâs level was relatively weak. Meanwhile, they had heard of AâShu and knew that he was one of the Three Musketeers who wasnât lacking compared to his brother Su Guangmo.
The soft persimmon should be picked. Once both sides met, the two berserkers directly rushed at Li Xiaojiang.
Li Xiaojiang was a long-range magician. They just needed to slash him a few times with a berserkerâs axe and he would die hereâ¦
Zhuo Hangâs eyes widened nervously.
Then Xie Shurongâs actions were eye-catching. The terran swordsman suddenly jumped in front of Li Xiaojiang, his sword in his hand falling down before accurately crossing to the other side. It was the most commonly used control skill of a swordsman, Spirit Lock!
The person hit by Spirit Lock would be fixed in the same place. Li Xiaojiang took this time to retreat behind a big tree and started to cast a black magic spell. The target was the mad warrior controlled by AâShu.
Death Mantra, Hell Flames!
He read the spells very slowly and could only cast these two skills during the time the opponent was still. Moreover, Death Mantra just increased black magic damage and wasnât considered an attack skill.
However, under the bonus of Death Mantra, the damage caused by Hell Flames was terrifying!
The thick-skinned berserkers directly lost 20% of their blood!
The control on the berserker ended and he immediately waved his axe towards Li Xiaojiang. This time, Li Xiaojiang didnât retreat and kept still as he cast the next skill.
The reason he didnât retreat was because he had the extremely fast Xie Shurong to protect him!
Xie Shurong opened the move Light and Shadow Rotation, his sword sword blocking the two berserkers from moving forward. Li Xiaojiang slowly cast a skill again. This time it was Shadow Winding.
This skill was a relatively strong group attack skill of a black magician that caused a negative status. Under the effect of Death Mantra, Shadow Winding would cause the opponent to lose 3% of blood per second and this lasted 10 seconds, for a total blood loss of 30%.
The casting time was very long but the advantage was the skill had a relatively wide release range. It wasnât effective if the other side was running away but once it hit, it caused a 30% blood loss, which was equivalent to a final move.
Without a healer to help relieve the negative state, the opposite sideâs berserkers could only continue to pursue Li Xiaojiang.
The thing that surprised them was that although Li Xiaojiangâs movements were slow, Xie Shurong was extremely fast!
The terran swordsman constantly released various skills to interfere with the two berserkers. He didnât use many attack skills but the chaotic sword caused great trouble for them.
The two people couldnât catch up with Li Xiaojiang and were hit by his black magician, reducing their blood volume.
It was hard to catch up. Xie Shurong would use Spirit Lock to control a person while Li Xiaojiang kept using black magic after running far away. The combination of one person protecting and one person dealing damage seemed weak. However, if they cooperated well then the power was terrible!
Zhuo Hang sitting under the stage was shocked until a prompt appeared on the big screen.
[Snail Crawling Slowly has killed I am a Madman!]
The shock in Zhuo Hangâs heart was indescribable.
It turned out that Li Xiaojiang could have such a dazzling performance on the field.
The key was that he worked well with Xie Shurong. Xie Shurong protected him and provided him with the perfect environment to deal damage. Li Xiaojiang ran and played. From beginning to the present, his casting had never been interrupted by his opponent.
Li Xiaojiangâs disadvantage was his slow speed but his advantage was that every spell dealt huge damage. As long as his skills were smoothly cast, they would deal a terrible injury to the body!
Li Xiaojiang who could cast his skills was simply scary!
Li Cangyu saw Zhuo Hangâs expression and knew that this young man had figured it out. He smiled and whispered into Zhuo Hangâs ears, âIf the person on the field is you, what would you do?â
Zhuo Hang scratched his head with embarrassment. âI⦠I will cooperate with him in the future.â
âIt isnât just that.â Li Cangyu shook his head and looked seriously at Zhuo Hang. âThe protection of a swordsman is actually very limited. AâShu has to let out a burst of hand speed to protect Xiao Li but a hunter is different.â
Zhuo Hangâs eyes lit up. âCat God means⦠can a hunter provide a better output environment for a black magician?â
âYes, a hunterâs traps is much better than a swordsmanâs control and movement interference. The traps are invisible and the other side canât see where you place the traps. They are completely controlled by you and the degree of freedom is high. As long as the trap is stepped on, there will be a slowed effect. There are also special silence and stop traps. As long as you use them well, the opposite sideâs melee canât get close to Li Xiaojiang.â Li Cangyu patiently explained.
Zhuo Hang nodded seriously. âI understand!â
Li Cangyu patted his shoulder with relief. âThis is why I had you form a combination with Li Xiaojiang.â
Hunters could lay traps all over the place, making the opponents feel fear. He could even place traps around Li Xiaojiang so that the enemies couldnât get close. This way, Li Xiaojiang could stand there with peace of mind and slowly cast his skills, suppressing the other side with black magic.
This was the ingenuity of the combination of hunter and black magician.
If the enemies were two melee, this quick and slow combination would make them want to vomit blood.
Zhuo Hang finally understood the meaning of Cat God making them pair up.
He thought that Cat God just paired them together to help grind their personalities. He didnât expect for Cat Godâs vision to be so high, actually trying to form an ace combination for Canglanâ¦
He was too superficial compared to Cat Godâs foresight. He didnât understand the power of the combination and abandoned Li Xiaojiangâ¦
[Snail Crawling Slowly has killed Invincible!]
On the big screen, Li Xiaojiang once again cast a spell and directly killed the remaining berserker.
Zhuo Hang saw this scene and couldnât help hanging his head with shame. He recalled the game where he left Li Xiaojiang alone and couldnât wait for a hole to open up to bury himself in it.
Li Xiaojiang was sitting in the player seats and was flushed with excitement. His fingers shook slightly and he could barely hold the mouse.
He killed two opponents in a row and won! He could actually win!
The young boyâs eyes filled with tears as he looked gratefully at Xie Shurong next to him. Xie Shurong said with a smile, âGreat, Xiao Li. Continue to play well in the next game.â
âYes!â Li Xiaojiang nodded eagerly, took a deep breath and held his mouse tightly.
The second game was the Blades teamâs selection but Li Xiaojiang clearly played better than the first game.
He gained some confidence after the first round and Xie Shurong protected him too well. Li Xiaojiang naturally let go of any fear and his black magic accurately hit. Every hit was accompanied by a huge blood loss. The two kill prompts once again appeared on the big screen, the Canglan team winning the two arena rounds!
Li Xiaojiang excitedly returned with Xie Shurong.
Li Cangyu took the lead to come over and gently pat the teenagerâs head while smiling. âYour performance was amazing!â
Bai Xuan also came over to pat his head. âOur Xiao Li is really powerful!â
This was followed by Uncle Zhang. âXiao Li, I never thought you would be so strong!â
His hair was messed up by them but Li Xiaojiang was very happy and replied seriously, âYes, AâShu was too good.â
Xie Shurong rubbed his hair and smiled. âDonât be humble. You are also powerful.â
Gu Siming excitedly held Li Xiaojiangâs hand. âToo handsome, too handsome! I took a few photos and will send them to you when we get back!â
Xiao Han quietly walked over. âYou performed well.â
Qin Mo taught him this sentence. It was a phrase that Captain Ling commonly used to praise someone and Qin Mo said that these words had more meaning.
Everyone was praising Li Xiaojiang. Zhuo Hang, who was sitting in the corner, also came forward while touching his nose with embarrassment. âYou⦠you are awesome.â
This sentence was very awkward but they were Zhuo Hangâs true feelings.
After todayâs game, he finally discovered that Li Xiaojiang was excellent. He was always serious and worked hard. Every step was carefully calculated and there were few mistakes.
The bad one was Zhuo Hang.
Look, Li Xiaojiang just changed partners and he became so radiant.
In the last match, Zhuo Hang had played worse than rookies in the online game.
Zhuo Hang was well aware that his current level wasnât comparable to Xie Shurong. It was impossible for him to protect Li Xiaojiang and provide him with such a peaceful output environment.
However, Zhuo Hang believed that one day, he would stand by Li Xiaojiang as a teammate and bodyguard, causing Li Xiaojiang to exude the most dazzling brilliance.
The combination of fast and slow proposed by Cat God would surely become a special killing trick of the Canglan team.
It was possible that in the future, Cat God would probably send him with Li Xiaojiang when encountering teams with more melee classes. He had to live up to the expectations of Cat God and his teammates.
Zhuo Hang thought this and finally calmed his emotions. He formed fists and walked in front of Li Xiaojiang. He grinned and reached out a hand. âIn the future, I will try to protect you. You can confidently stand behind me and unleash your output.â
This was the essence of the fast and slow combination.
Li Xiaojiang was the core and Zhuo Hang had to protect him, not desperately try to be the output.
Li Xiaojiang was stunned. He knew that Zhuo Hang was taking the initiative to show him goodwill. He was somewhat shy but he reached out and shook Zhuo Hangâs hand. âYes, we will do it together!â
Li Cangyu couldnât help grinning at this scene.
After all, they were both young. Grievances came quickly and went quickly. It seemed that the combination of hunter and black magician should be eligible to stand in the leagueâs first division in the near future.
