God Level Summoner Chapter 201-202

Chapter 201 – Final Game of the Regular Season (2)

The crucial match was Canglan's home match and Li Cangyu didn't hesitate to choose three arena games. Canglan was much stronger in the arena than in team battles. This match determined if Canglan could enter the playoffs or not and Li Cangyu couldn't be sloppy.

Even if a player made a mistake, the ones behind them could find a way to slowly recover from the disadvantages. Once defeated in a team battle, it would be extremely difficult to grab the situation from Tan Shitian's hands.

The fans understood Li Cangyu's choice and Tan Shitian had also long guessed it.

Next up was the map. Li Cangyu chose a map that didn't often appear—Elf's Covenant.

This was a secret place in the elf realm. It was a dense forest where the trees were silver white and gave off a faint glow. There were many lovely silver spores that flew around the forest like small fireflies.

This map was characterized as a status acceleration map.

The Red Fox team had used a cold deceleration map to face Canglan. Now Li Cangyu chose an acceleration map to deal with Time. All members who entered the map would have movement speed increased by 20%.

This choice surprised many players. Time's archers were ranged players. If they were accelerated, wouldn't their skills be more effective?

Kou Hongyi also wondered about this. [I can't understand Cat God's thoughts. I feel there is a bit of danger choosing the acceleration map for the arena…]

Yu Bing was aware of something. She maintained a calm expression as she guessed: [Although the acceleration map has the same effect for both sides but… for example, let's say you often wear skates. On an important day, you will be very comfortable moving on roller skates. However, for a person who usually wears leather shoes, suddenly changing to roller skates will certainly affect his speed.]

Kou Hongyi's IQ wasn't as high as Yu Bing and he immediately made a worshipful expression. "Sister Bing's words are right! Canglan must've specifically trained during this one week on the acceleration map and will naturally be comfortable. That isn't necessarily the case for Time. They probably didn't practice at all on an acceleration map. Even if they practiced, they certainly didn't specifically study this map. In a tense moment where the fate of the playoffs will be decided, the players might make a mistake if they are uncomfortable and Canglan will grab that chance."

The audience listened to their explanations and probably understood Li Cangyu's meaning.

The status acceleration map was nothing compared to the difficult kill maps so there was no point in Time practicing it. Canglan had been practicing for a week and would naturally have the advantage.

It was like Yu Bing said. A person used to wearing leather shoes suddenly changed into roller skates. They would be very fast but it was easy to fall. Li Cangyu was also a person excellent when it came to grasping opportunities. It would be difficult for Time to win when he was the guard.

***

The first combination that the Time team sent was Liang Sejie and Liang Deyuan, the two elf archers. This was the classic double archers combination of the Time team. They weren't brothers but their long-term cooperation led to a tacit understanding forming between them. This meant they often appeared in team battles to assist Tan Shitian to output.

On Canglan's side, the first to play were Xiao Han and Gu Siming.

Many viewers didn't understand this arrangement. This changed once the game started. What was Gu Siming's nickname? Little madman! He was very aggressive and active. On the 20% acceleration map, he was simply a mad bull provoked by the Spanish bullring.

Gu Siming evolved from a little madman into a super madman. He raised shields and chased the two archers. The two archers laughed as they were chased by him, thinking, 'You are a thick paladin. How can you catch up with us?'

Canglan's fans were also a bit anxious. Xiao Gu starting the quick chase seemed excellent but paladins didn't have many attack skills. He only had a bunch of protective skills and thick skin. In the face of the two archers' outputs, could he endure for long?

As it turned out, Gu Siming was more resistant than everyone thought.

During this time, Li Cangyu had intensively trained his ability to resist stress. Sometimes the other three teenagers would team up to play Xiao Gu and Xiao Gu was tortured all day long. After a long time, he gained some survival ability.

The biggest advantage of a paladin was their high defense and they had many protective skills to help their teammates resist damage. In the past, Gu Siming always thought about going forward and breaking open a bloody road to let his teammates output. In fact, many times he should do more protection. Attacking the enemy and opening a gap was the responsibility of the sharp swordsman Xie Shurong!

After trying to understand this, Gu Siming patiently practiced for a month in accordance with Li Cangyu's arrangement. In the second round of the regular season, Canglan's tem battles had been erratic. Everyone thought this young player wasn't in the right state but it was actually because Gu Siming was seriously looking for a suitable style.

Today he found it.

***

Gu Siming lasted for three minutes and still didn't die. The two players of the Time team couldn't help feeling anxious. They had already wasted many skills on this paladin and it would be too shameful if they didn't kill him. There was also Xiao Han hidden in stealth. No traces of him had been found yet.

Liang Sejie made a blue signal on the map. This was an indication that they should unleash their full attacks.

The two people tacitly agreed and simultaneously fired their big moves—Seize Life Shot!

However, a clear ringing sound entered their ears. Everyone saw a golden light appear on the paladin's body, the light quickly taking the shape of a shield in front of Gu Siming.

—Furious Light Shield

The paladin used the anger in their heart to form a light shield, guarding themselves or their teammates and bouncing all the damage back to the other party!

The effect of this skill was similar to the blood kin sacrifice's Lava Shield that Xiao Han had been hit by.

The two Time players were caught off guard and their own big moves immediately decreased their blood by 30%!

Gu Siming's light shield shattered immediately after being attacked. The golden fragments flew through the air in a dazzling manner. Many fans excited sent him flowers and the Canglan support group suddenly became lively.

[Xiao Gu is good! I give you 100 points for your awareness!] [The two members of Time probably want to cry. Their big moves were bounced back to themselves…]

[This is the consequence of underestimating paladins! Don't look down on them because they have less attack skills. They can bounce back attacks and kill you!]

Gu Siming was very excited at this time. He had been suppressed by Zhuo Hang, Xiao Han and Li Xiaojiang some time ago. He already worked out that he should wait patiently regardless of how he was abused.

He had been waiting and patiently held onto this skill. He saw that his blood was decreasing and didn't impulsively open the shield. He waited until the two men finished Shock Shot before immediately pressing the key for the light shield.

During this week, they had repeatedly watched the videos of the Time matches and Cat God summarized the characteristics of some opponents. The double archers had a habit of joining hands when dealing with a person. Once they used Shock Shot, the terrifying Seize Life Shot would come!

The habits of many professional players were impossible to casually change. Once Gu Siming made a decision, he was very decisive. He actually ended up countering these deadly moves!

It was at this critical moment that Xiao Han appeared.

The intelligent teenager was very good at grasping opportunities. The cold light of his bloody daggers starkly contrasted with the silver and white background of the elf area.

He was like a dark but flexible shadow on the brightly coloured map. He appeared silently behind Liang Sejie and decisively slashed at his neck.

—Death Mark, Backstab, Soul Stab, Fatal Blow!

Due to the increase in movement speed, Xiao Han's actions when attacking were particularly handsome and smooth. Many Xiao Han fans saw it and cried out:

[The little prince is so handsome!] [Our little prince is powerful!] [He really is like a shadow! So difficult to fight!]

Liang Sejie of the Time team thought that this young boy's speed was terrible.

The last time he faced Xiao Han at the beginning of the seventh season, this body didn't play well apart from the impressive appearance of blond hair and black eyes. In just a few months, he had been reborn as an assassin!

Qin Mo watched the game on TV and felt admiration. "Xiao Han's hand speed is very fast."

Ling Xuefeng nodded. "It is also effective hand speed."

The difference between pure hand speed and effective hand speed was very high. It definitely wouldn't work if your hands were fast but you kept missing. Effective hand speed was the speed at which skills were accurately released. It could be seen that under Li Cangyu's training, Xiao Han had broken through his own bottleneck. He connected his skills together as quickly as possible.

Quietly emerging from the darkness and letting out a burst of hand speed to directly kill the opponent, this was a real assassin!

Xiao Han was playing at the super level in the accelerated map. Liang Sejie was a relatively good player in the league but the map acceleration and silver white light made his eyes and hand speed somewhat uncomfortable. Xiao Han was like a phantom as he struck from the front and rear…

[Frost Descends has killed Big and Young Liang!]

The news that appeared on the big screen caused the audience to clap and Li Cangyu smiled.

It seemed that the mentality of the young ones had adjusted quite well.

This game was crucial to the Canglan team but Xiao Gu and Xiao Han weren't stressed and played well. As Li Cangyu said, they should enjoy it like it was the final match!

The four teenagers were all proud and didn't want to end the seventh season's regular season with too much regrets. They fought with the attitude of 'I want to do my best.'

As long as they played to their own standards, Li Cangyu had the confidence to lead them into the playoffs to compete for the trophy!

Chapter 202 – Final Game of the Regular Season (3)

Gu Siming and Xiao Han performed well in today's game. The two old players of Time were stunned by Gu Siming's quick pursuit and Xiao Han's phantom positioning. After Xiao Han's set of moves killed Liang Sejie, the remaining Liang Deyuan couldn't hold on for long and he died after the two people's joint attacks.

The combination in the second stage was the archer Lu Xiao and hunter Zhou Yu. Both of them were elves and their movement speed was very fast. Together with the acceleration effect of the map, they could play a fast guerrilla battle.

However, the second combination sent by Canglan was Shu Bai. Thanks to the existence of the milk god Bai Xuan, it was impossible for the archer and hunter to kill Xie Shurong in seconds. Xie Shurong's biggest feature was his fast attacks. Thanks to the full map speed bonus, he could actually catch up with the enemy archers!

The audience also found that the map Cat God chose with many trees made Xie Shurong the real winner!

A swordsman had teleporting skills to cross obstacles. Xie Shurong's actions were very agile as he chased around trees, making the archers on the other side annoyed. Many Canglan fans happily commented: [Tree God, he is really good at maps with trees!] [Ah Shu is handsome and earth-shattering!]

Xie Shurong's swordsmanship was indeed gorgeous and his attack speed was dazzling. The fragile archers of Time was slashed and became rather passive. Eventually, they were killed by the Shu Bai combination.

As the Time fans expected, Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei were the last combination.

Tan Cheng's remote control guerrilla tactics was one of the most classic combinations in Miracle. The residual blood Shu Bai couldn't consume much resources but Bai Xuan believed that Canglan should win this game.

It was because their guards were Li Cangyu and Zhang Jueming!

The two veterans with a stable mentality and rich experience confronted the younger generation of Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei. Li Cangyu and Old Zhang were very calm and didn't show a negative status.

Compared to Cheng Wei, Zhang Jueming's auxiliary white magician wasn't so aggressive but they could double Li Cangyu's bursting power!

Tan Shitian played calmly and cleverly. He kept paying attention to Li Cangyu's pet cooldown times in case Li Cangyu cooperated with Old Zhang to use the Cataclysm skill. Li Cangyu was stared at by him and didn't want to use this  big move. Instead, he looked for opportunities to slowly consume Tan Shitian's health.

His attack distance was not enough to hit Tan Shitian so he aimed for Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei was surrounded by Cat God's various pets and his skill casting kept being interrupted. After three consecutive skills were interrupted, Cheng Wei was going crazy. Li Cangyu seemed to be reading his mind and knew what skills he wanted to use!

It was no wonder. After all he was half Li Cangyu's apprentice and his white magician style was taught by Li Cangyu.

Cheng Wei's fans felt somewhat distressed for him. He was chased by his idol and his skills couldn't be cast. Maybe Vice-Captain Cheng would become a black fan after today's match.

Li Cangyu's expression was very calm, like a big cat playing with a kitten. He completely controlled Cheng Wei while Tan Shitian was helpless. As the best archer in the Miracle League, he killed many opponents on the tree maps. However, this was when he could hit the opponent!

Today he met an elf opponent and Li Cangyu's agility stat was higher than his. Li Cangyu moved faster than him. Often, his arrows aimed at Li Cangyu's position but Li Cangyu had already escaped. Tan Shitian had to admire Cat God's movement level. Thanks to Cat God's white outfit and the silvery forest, he seemed as elusive as the wind!

Tan Shitian failed to hit Cat God several times in a row and desperately had to kill Zhang Jueming as well as Cat God's pets.

The result of the fight was that Li Cangyu took the lead in killing Cheng Wei and Tan Shitian also killed Zhang Jueming.

However, Zhang Jueming put a fixed body control on Captain Tan before dying. Li Cangyu seized this opportunity to set off a series of explosive moves to kill Tan Shitian. By the time Tan Shitian's control effect ended and he wanted to chase Cat God, Li Cangyu had already disappeared into the forest.

The elf summoner played a guerrilla warfare in the forest. Tan Shitian didn't know if he should laugh or cry. He was best at fast guerrilla tactics but today he died under Cat God's guerrilla tactics.

In other words, Li Cangyu's movement speed was faster than his.

—The Canglan team won!

At the end of the first game, the dead Tan Shitian sent a row of thumbs up on the public chat and then calmly walked down.

At the venue, the Canglan fans stood up and clapped excitedly. The live room was filled with Cat God 6666. In the support group, everyone was happily discussing the deployment of the next game.

[Cat God is clearly ready today! Ah, I feel like the possibility of Canglan winning is very high!] [Three arena games and the home map selection, Canglan has a really big chance of winning! [Everyone, don't talk big. Tan Shitian isn't a fuel-saving lamp. The map must be submitted first in the second game. Time has the opportunity to adjust the order according to the map selection. Perhaps Tan Shitian will think of a strategy to deal with it.]

Everyone enthusiastically discussed it while in the soundproof room, the players were gathered together to listen to the captain's arrangement.

Cheng Wei was depressed. Tan Shitian gently patted his head and said, "Don't be depressed. Let's change the order in the next round."

"Eh? What do you mean?" Cheng Wei looked up with surprise. "You won't be the guard?"

Tan Shitian explained, "I will continue to be the guard. I mean to change your order."

"You want to split out combination?" Cheng Wei's eyes were wide with shock.

The dark and big eyes were full of incredulity and Tan Shitian couldn't help smiling. "Why? Are you reluctant?"

Cheng Wei's face turned red with anger. "Who is reluctant? I mean, the two of us have never been split apart in the arena."

"Today we can't play as usual because Cat God would've long expected the Tan Cheng combination to be the guard. He will surely be the guard in every game and choose a targeted map specifically aiming for you." Tan Shitian put away his smile and calmly spoke. "This way, no matter how big the advantage in the early stages, the last round against Cat God will be extremely difficult for us to win."

Cheng Wei also calmed down. Captan Tan made sense. This was Canglan's home match and it would also decide the playoffs. Li Cangyu wouldn't show any mercy to Time and would specifically target them.

In order to escape from danger, Time must use unconventional methods.

Cheng Wei thought this and nodded. "Okay Captain, you arrange it."

Tan Shitian was relieved when he saw Cheng Wei's obedient appearance. His voice was calm but contained a decisively that couldn't be rejected. "In the next game, we will change the mode. Cheng Wei and Lu Xiao will start to break apart the newcomers.

***

In the commentators' room, Yu Bing and Kou Hongyi were giving a simple summary. Kou Hongyi directly said, "In the first game, most players played at their normal levels. However, Time couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the acceleration map and didn't expect Xiao Gu and Xiao Han to play so well. They fell into a disadvantage from the opening."

Yu Bing nodded. "The Canglan team has been at a disadvantage many times in the arena in the regular season. However, if you look carefully, you will find that they never lost when they got the opening advantage. This means that it other teams want to reverse the situation, it is almost impossible." She paused and spoke with appreciation, "This is because the Shu Bai combination in the middle is extremely stable and there is also the captain Li Cangyu as the guard. It is almost impossible for other teams to continuously kill the Shu Bai combination and then Cat God."

Kou Hongyi also discovered this point and exclaimed, "In fact, at the beginning, I felt that Canglan had too many newcomers and it was dangerous for them to enter the playoffs. After seeing the performance of Xiao Gu and Xiao Han today, I suddenly found that these four little guys have been making steady progress and every step is solid, especially in mentality. They don't look nervous at all despite today's important match."

The director changed the camera to the soundproof room of Canglan. The four teenagers were gathered together. Gu Siming was excitedly drawing something, Zhuo Hang was smiling, Li Xiaojiang was carefully listening and Xiao Han was thinking about something. The four people behaved differently but there wasn't the slightest bit of tension on their faces. The atmosphere was very relaxed.

A professional player growing their mentality was the rarest breakthrough!

It was only by practicing the mentality of 'not collapsing in front of a mountain' that they could play at their normal level in the stressful competition and sometimes they could even play in an extraordinary manner.

Li Cangyu's leadership was outstanding. In just half a year, he raised the four newcomers to today's professional players. Yu Bing felt a lot of admiration and she even thought it was good if Canglan could make the playoffs.

In the first season, Time won the championship under the leadership of the old captain Xu Luo. They also won it again in the fifth season under the leadership of the new captain Tan Shitian. Li Cangyu was such a good player but he hadn't received any trophies…

It might just be sympathy but she wanted Canglan to make it over Time this season.

Yu Bing secretly looked at the audience's support rate and found that the Canglan team actually had 70% of the votes!

It could be seen that apart from the loyal fans who hoped that Time could enter the playoffs, the fans of other teams and neutral viewers hoped that Canglan would get this rare opportunity.

Would Canglan disappoint the audience? It depended on Li Cangyu's careful layout today!
