Ye Xiu would also get tired.
Perhaps sometimes, perseverance could be used to overcome fatigue, but Chen Guo believed that Ye Xiu didn't lack perseverance. He needed to rest, and that was the same reason he insisted on having Wei Chen and Luo Ji play: he also needed to prepare for the playoffs. He needed 100% of his energy to face the playoffs.
And right now, even though they were stuck in the quagmire of the top eight, Happy was still the one with the most points.
Chen Guo did her best to think positively, and this week's team competition practice was without Ye Xiu and Lord Grim.
Soon, May 8th, Round 34 began.
Happy and the other four teams were fighting to the death for the top eight, while the powerhouses before them had already entered the rhythm of practicing for the playoffs.
Team Blue Rain was constantly changing their lineup for the team competition.
Team Micrograss was trying their best to not rely too much on Wang Jiexi.
In Team Tyranny, ever since the first round, the three old generals had stopped rotating. Every round, they would play the individual competition and team competition to the fullest.
And this round, Tyranny was the home team, welcoming Team Heavenly Swords.
The two teams didn't have any grudges against each other. Tyranny's fans cheered for their team as usual. But when the lineup for the first round of the individual competition came out, the entire stadium was stunned.
Tyranny, Zhang Jiale.
Heavenly Swords, Sun Zheping.
Team Hundred Blossoms, Blood and Blossoms, one of the Alliance's most classic pairings. The two former partners had surprisingly met in this match.
A long-awaited reunion, but in the end, it was a never-before-seen confrontation.
Tyranny and Heavenly Swords didn't care too much about this one point, but the significance of these two players...
Whether it was the home team Tyranny fans or the Heavenly Swords fans who came with the team, they didn't have as many ties to these two players as the Hundred Blossoms fans. But how many people hadn't heard of the madness of these two players in the past?
Blood and Blossoms was destined to leave a deep mark in the annals of Glory's history. Although they didn't manage to win the championship in the end, one couldn't judge a hero by only winning or losing in the arena.
The prosperity of the past had ended five years ago in the summer. Now that the two of them had reunited on the field, there was no more blood and flowers. There was only victory and defeat.
However, the outcome of this match wasn't that important. After the audience saw this pair of opponents, they weren't more concerned about the outcome of the match. They were more curious about what this pair of partners, who had left behind countless regrets, would say when they met again on the stage.
Therefore, no one was watching the competition. Everyone was staring at the public channel on the big electronic screen.
No, nothing at all.
The two didn't talk or chat. Their characters just rushed out and met in the center of the map.
Flowers bloomed, enveloping Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. But this time, Berserker Sword's blade wasn't going to create a blood scene. Even if it was, it was going to use Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' blood.
Charge!
Sun Zheping's Berserker Another Summer of Sleep charged forward. Who would know Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style better than him? This style relied on light and shadow effects. Teammates weren't immune to this effect, so it hurt both the enemy and oneself. Sun Zheping, as his most tacit partner who had stood in this light and shadow with him in the past, how could he not know how to distinguish the direction in this light and shadow and find a target to attack?
Only this time, he was looking for the owner of this light and shadow.
Wild Blood Strike!
The blood-red greatsword's shadow instantly tore a crack in the light and shadow. Another Summer of Sleep stepped onto what seemed like a pure land.
"Oh …" The whole stadium seemed to be saying, "I understand." From Sun Zheping's perspective, they could see that the light and shadow didn't confuse him at all. His vision was so clear.
As expected! Everyone was thinking, as expected, they were old partners. They understood each other too well.
However, just at this moment, when Another Summer of Sleep continued to advance, getting closer to Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, the light and shadow suddenly overlapped, trapping Another Summer of Sleep within.
Really?
Sun Zheping turned his view, looking left and right. This time, he couldn't see through it.
So the Hundred Blossoms style had undergone many changes! All these years, he had deliberately not paid attention to it. Now, he really couldn't keep up …
However, this shouldn't be a problem for him, right? The theory behind this strategy was something that he would never forget! It wasn't too late to start learning now, right?
Another Summer of Sleep dashed left and right in the light and shadow, as if trying to find a direction.
The audience watched silently, but Zhang Jiale, controlling the Hundred Blossoms, gradually revealed an expression of surprise.
This was no longer the Hundred Blossoms style he had partnered with Sun Zheping in the past. After all, after so many years, their levels, equipment, and skills had all evolved so much. However, in this match, Sun Zheping's Another Summer of Sleep had caught up step by step from afar. Gradually, he had stepped into the rhythm of the new Hundred Blossoms style.
Sun Zheping only needed the time of one match to fully understand the Hundred Blossoms style.
As expected of an old partner. Zhang Jiale watched as Another Summer of Sleep finally charged in front of his Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, his greatsword slashing down without hesitation. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms jumped back and counterattacked.
When Another Summer of Sleep fell and charged out of the Hundred Blossoms' light and shadow, he had already reached his limit …
"Good luck," Sun Zheping said as he fell.
"Yeah," Zhang Jiale replied.
In this match, the only exchange …
At the same time, Ye Xiu, who didn't play in the team competition but was still starting in the individual competition, had already helped Happy get a point.
Then, Luo Ji and Wei Chen went up one after another. This time, Luo Ji won, and Wei Chen lost a point. Winning and losing on a match was normal, but Luo Ji and Wei Chen were both in a delicate position. As soon as they lost a point, there would always be people jumping out to question Happy's arrangements. It was as if if it weren't the two of them and someone else went up, they would definitely get a point.
In a match, there was never a hundred percent.
So even though Wei Chen lost a point, he was very magnanimous.
After that, in the group arena, Happy won cleanly and cleanly, entering the team competition with a score of 4 to 1.
When the team competition roster came out and Ye Xiu wasn't there, the crowd immediately began to whisper.
Were they starting to let the main force rest? The team was really confident! Everyone thought so, and no one was overly worried because of this. After all, Team Lightly wasn't strong and didn't have any special fighting spirit.
But in the end, on their home ground, Happy lost the team competition.
4 to 6. The electronic scoreboard recorded all of this. Happy lost a team competition at a crucial moment in their sprint for the playoffs.
The reason? Ye Xiu didn't go up.
No matter what, this couldn't be avoided. Core players were like this. Even if they weren't on the field, they still had to bear the main responsibility for the team's loss. You weren't on the field! That's your biggest mistake …. '
Happy paid the price for his arrogance!
Many media outlets reported this, especially those who slandered Happy. They especially liked this angle.
After the match, the prep room was completely silent.
Everyone could see Ye Xiu's hard work. No matter what, Team Happy wouldn't have any objections to Ye Xiu's decision to rest, even at this crucial point in the match. Everyone was vexed and blamed themselves. Without Ye Xiu on the field, they lost points.
No one said anything. Everyone quietly watched the television in the prep room. The television was currently broadcasting the match between Samsara and 301 Degrees.
To have an opponent like Samsara in such a crucial point competition, 301 Degrees seemed to be quite unlucky. But there were also quite a few people who felt that 301 Degrees might be lucky.
Because right now, no team had a more stable position than Samsara. After 33 rounds, they had 282 points, 42 points ahead of the second place team.
In the regular season, Samsara didn't need any sort of classification. They could let their main force rest at will, or train their rookies, or practice their tactics. They had no pressure.
This sort of situation might give their opponents an opportunity to take advantage of. Against Samsara, they might actually have an easier time.
301 Degrees had won two rounds in the individual competition. Sure enough, Samsara had sent rookies up here. Everyone believed in their judgement.
But in the group arena, Samsara still had their strongest lineup and won.
In the team competition, they had sent their main force this season. The match hadn't ended yet, but 301 Degrees' defeat was already set.
Samsara, who already had two consecutive championships in their hands, was still hungry. They didn't relax. They didn't let their team enter a trash or showtime. They were still wholeheartedly focused on the match. They maintained their belief in victory. They didn't want to slack off before the final push.
Rest their main force? They might not need it. Samsara's players were all in their prime. For them, a weekly match wasn't a burden at all.
Just like that, Samsara won the match, 8 to 2. Samsara didn't give 301 any openings.
After 34 rounds, Samsara had 290 points. And at this time, Blue Rain's match against Parade had already ended. Even though Blue Rain won 9 to 1, they had only closed the gap between them and Samsara from 42 points to 41 points.
There were still four rounds left. Samsara had a 41 point lead over second place.
At Samsara's home stadium, the moment they won, the applause and cheers reached their highest point of the regular season.
Team Samsara had already won the regular season championship four rounds ahead of schedule. Even though there wasn't a trophy for this, it was still a result to be proud of.
Samsara, who was playing in their home stadium, had clearly anticipated this situation, so they had prepared a small celebration beforehand. Of course, the scale of the celebration wasn't large. After all, the season hadn't ended yet. Starting a large-scale celebration right now was a bit disrespectful of the feelings of the other teams.
Samsara had secured a grand conclusion for their regular season four rounds ahead of schedule. And Happy was still sinking deeper into the mud because of their loss in this round's team competition.
Their other competitors this round: Wind Howl defeated Royal Style 8 to 2, Thunderclap defeated Misty Rain 9 to 1, Hundred Blossoms defeated Void 9 to 1.
And so, Thunderclap had 226 points, leading Happy by 3 points, rushing into fifth place and pushing Happy to sixth. Hundred Blossoms beat Wind Howl by one point, sitting in seventh place. Wind Howl and Team 301 were once again evenly split, using small points to determine the rankings. Wind Howl was eighth, while 301 was pushed to ninth.
The situation was even more stalemate. Happy was only 7 points away from ninth place. And in Round 35, Happy was about to meet a strong opponent, Team Thunder, who had just led them by 3 points, and it was an away game.
