God Level Summoner Chapter 208-209

Chapter 208 – Canglan VS Ghost Spirits (2)

The setting of Zhuo Hang's traps was so fast that an assassin of Ghost Spirits inadvertently walked into the trap, had his stealth skill removed and the blood kin assassin immediately appeared.

The light of this map was extremely dim but Li Cangyu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He aimed at the position where the assassin was standing and unceremoniously had this thunder spirit attack.

—Thunder's Wrath!

There was a loud bang and a purple thunderbolt descended from the sky. In addition to the exposed assassin, the teammate beside him were also hit. Two assassins of the Ghost Spirits team immediately lost 20% of their blood!

Xie Shurong and Zhang Jueming followed their captain's rhythm. Once they saw Cat God act, Zhang Jueming didn't hesitate to use the white magician's auxiliary big move while Xie Shurong teleported to the two people and used Light and Shadow Rotation!

Zhuo Hang also dealt some output damage. Trap Blast!

The big moves came one after another, the speed too fast. In just three seconds, various skills and light effects overlapped, causing the dark map to become bright.  The two assassins of Ghost Spirits didn't have any time to output before they were directly hit by the Canglan team!

[Ah Shu has killed Flowing Moon, first kill!]

[Ah Shu has killed Quicksand, second kill!]

These assassins were newcomers raised by Lou Wushuang in the sixth season. After the sixth and seventh seasons, the two of them had become a highly familiar assassin combo along with the Lou Zhang brothers. They formed the assassination lineup of the Ghost Spirits team.

However, the two people were unlucky today. One step in Zhuo Hang's traps caused them to instantly be killed.

"Beautiful! Kou Hongyi couldn't help cheering. "I didn't expect the team's ability to set fire to be so strong. Once Zhuo Hang's trap was triggered, Cat God, Ah Shu and Old Zhang combined to kill them and the skills were so fast that is was dizzying!"

Yu Bing also sighed. "It seems that sending Zhuo Hang in today's team battle was a bold move for Cat God but it was effective. The hunter's traps caused big trouble to the assassins of Ghost Spirits."

This was a bit unexpected for Lou Wushuang and he frowned slightly.

Before the game, he tried to guess Li Cangyu's formation and thought that Xiao Han was most likely to play in the team battles. He didn't expect Zhuo Hang who rarely appeared in the team battles to actually participate in this one.

The even more unexpected thing was that Zhuo Hang's speed was extremely fast. It was almost comparable to the winner of the sixth season's rookie award, Chen Anran.

The most terrible thing about hunters was their ability to quickly set up traps to suppress the opponents. If they could arrange traps in combination with the terrain then it would be hard for the opponents to move!

Today, Zhuo Hang could do both these things. He didn't just move like the wind but his trap layout was extremely sturdy. It was just against the black stone pillars where an assassin had been hiding. The assassin stepped forward and accidentally triggered Zhuo Hang's trap!

This wasn't a coincidence but Zhuo Hang's precise grasp of the terrain.

The two people killed by Canglan were obviously annoyed. They looked at each other and reluctantly waited for their resurrection.

Captain Lou Wushuang was very quiet. He gave Zhang Shaohui a signal on the map. Zhang Shaohui immediately followed him to the front of the Canglan team.

The audience felt a bit nervous. From their perspective, the Lou Zhang brothers were standing opposite Li Cangyu at this time. However, they were both invisible so Li Cangyu didn't notice there were two terrible assassins in front of him.

The Lou Zhang brothers took advantage of this opportunity to act at the same time.

Zhang Shaohui used Pain Blade to stun Li Cangyu while Lou Wushuang controlled the healer Bai Xuan. Then both of them attacked Li Cangyu while cooperating with the blood kin sacrifice. Li Cangyu's blood immediately fell to 10% residual blood!

Cat God's blood gauge was flashing red and the milk dad Bai Xuan was fainted and unable to add blood. After seeing that Li Cangyu was going to die in seconds, Gu Siming rushed to the captain's side and decisively opened Guardian's Power!

A golden light shone on the body of the elf summoner. This was the paladin's skill that protected the designated target. Gu Siming placed the shield on his captain and Lou Wushuang and Zhang Shaohui's most critical attack skills were transferred to Gu Siming.

Li Cangyu saw this and felt gratified. He didn't exact Xiao Gu's reaction to be so fast and he actually knew to run back to protect the captain at a key moment…

The thing that made Li Cangyu especially happy was that the Lou Zhang brothers failed to kill him and wanted to retreat, only to be set in place by Ah Shu's Spirit Lock!

Wanting to kill their captain, it wasn't so easy to leave!

Xie Shurong wasn't a herbivore. He just killed two assassins and was in an excited state. He turned back and hit Lou Wushuang with a set of combos, causing Lou Wushuang's blood to fall to 50%. Lou Wushuang was forced to open Combat Stealth to rapidly retreat and Zhang Shaohui naturally withdrew with him.

This wave of the team battle ended with two assassins being killed and the Lou Zhang brothers reluctantly retreating.

In the commentators' room, Kou Hongyi exclaimed, "Ghost Spirits is suffering at home, this is rare!"

Yu Bing explained calmly, "We can't blame them. The two assassins of Ghost Spirits obviously didn't expect Zhuo Hang to set a trap nearby and accidentally triggered it, giving Cat God a chance to kill them."

Kou Hongyi said, "Ghost Spirits suffered a big loss in this wave and it will be difficult for them to make a comeback."

Yu Bing agreed.

The game wasn't over yet but many people already expected the ending. Xie Shurong had two heads and after Ghost Spirits retreated, the Canglan team quickly won the ice dragon's economic bonus. Gaining the ice dragon was such a big advantage that it was almost impossible for the Ghost Spirits to reverse the situation.

Unless Li Cangyu lost his IQ at a critical moment… but this probability was infinitely close to 0%.

Cat God's IQ was online for a long time, especially during a match. Cat God's head worked quickly and he was always stable when he had an advantage. Moreover, Ah Shu's attack bonus from the double kills was enough to make the Ghost Spirits' assassins nervous. It wouldn't be easy for the assassins to kill Old Cat in one breath.

***

Sure enough, it was as Kou Hongyi and Yu Bing expected. After the defeat in the first wave of combat, Ghost Spirits found it more and more difficult to play.

Li Cangyu had a habit when commanding games. He would play very hard when in the disadvantageous position, letting the opponent accidentally make a mistake and then seizing this opportunity to reverse the game. However, he was particularly stable in the advantageous position. He was as stable as a mountain and didn't move. The enter Canglan team was like an unbreakable wall that didn't give the opponent a chance to counterattack.

The first wave of combat fattened up Xie Shurong and he became a very sharp swordsman. His hand speed plus the equipment bonuses made his big moves the same as cutting vegetables.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Hang and Li Cangyu were the typically fast attackers. Thanks to Old Zhang doubling their attack at key moments, the attack power of the three people far exceeded the four assassins of Ghost Spirits.

Once the two sides met again in the lower middle road, Ghost Spirits fought Canglan and lost, sending another two heads.

At this point, Ghost Spirits completely lost any chance of turning things around. The Canglan team pushed through through the defense towers and directly crushed the central crystal!

The result stunned the audience. After all, Ghost Spirits' home games were notoriously difficult to deal with. In the regular season, Ghost Spirits eliminated many strong teams at home, including Canglan!

Today, Ghost Spirits' assassin pair were killed by a newcomer, making it difficult for the Ghost Spirits fans to accept.

Canglan fans were very pleased. They won the first game, which was extremely beneficial to the morale of the team. It was a good start to the playoffs.

The score on the big screen became 1:0. Li Cangyu smiled and brought the players together to prepare for the next game.

***

In the VIP seats, Qin Mo commented, "I think that Gu Siming and Zhuo Hang are performing very well today. Their reaction rates are much faster than the regular season."

Vice-Captain Yan Ruiwen smiled. "This is the process of quantitative change to achieve qualitative change. Xiao Gu is a player from the Dragon Song training camp. His foundation is very solid but his awareness wasn't enough in the regular season, especially when it came to protecting teammates. During this period of time, Cat God should've designed targeted training for him. He isn't stupid so it isn't surprising that he can keep up with the pace of the team."

Qin Mo nodded in agreement. "Yes, just now, if he hadn't come back in time to throw the shield on Cat God then Cat God would've probably died. Once Cat God dies, Xie Shurong would have to face the Lou Zhang brothers and might not be able to fight. The ones to collapse would be Canglan."

Guo Xuan interjected. "I think Zhuo Hang has made very fast progress. I watched the last match between Canglan and Cheetah and he didn't have too much of an advantage against Chen Anran, vice-captain of Cheetah. However, based on today's performance, he has learned from Chen Anran. He blended his own style with what he learn, combining his effective hand speed with the terrain."

"The most difficult thing for a hunter is to grasp the terrain. Zhuo Hang's level has improved a lot…" Qin Mo scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "The newcomers of Canglan seem to have hormones injected in them today. How can they improve so much?"

Yan Ruiwen touched his chin and thought for a moment. "Perhaps this was Cat God's targeted training during the week. They aren't stupid and also have the long accumulation of experience in the seventh season. Perhaps that's why they seem better today than usual?"

After discussing it for a while, Yan Ruiwen found that Ling Xuefeng was silent. Yan Ruiwen couldn't help looking over and asking, "Captain Ling, what do you think?"

Ling Xuefeng only said one thing. "We have to prepare for the next battle with Canglan."

Everyone knelt down!

The captain's words were really domineering. The match wasn't over yet he was so sure that Canglan would advance?

Still, no one could refute him when they saw Ling Xuefeng's cold but firm eyes. They could only think in their heart, 'Your confidence in Cat God is really unparalleled. Only the first game is finished yet you directly confirmed that Canglan will win! Is this an opponent or true love?'

Chapter 209 – Canglan VS Ghost Spirits (3)

In Ghost Spirits' soundproof room, Lou Wushuang's expression was still calm. Regardless of the occasion, he always maintain his cold appearance. The indifferent gaze from behind the silver glasses made people feel cold.

Maybe his gaze would be milder when facing his younger brother Zhang Shaohui but at this moment, his eyes weren't looking at the tall man beside him. They were staring coldly at the players as he said, "This is only the first game. You don't have to be discouraged. Canglan sending Zhuo Hang today is something I didn't expect. Zhuo Hang's hunter will indeed cause us a lot of trouble but it isn't impossible to deal with. We will shift our target and kill Zhuo Hang first!"

Captain Lou's words were as cold as the water in winter but there was a force in the tone that couldn't be rejected. "Canglan should choose the arena as the second game. After all, the arena is their strength. On our side, there is only one way to win in the arena. I will split into a separate group with Ah Hui."

Zhang Shaohui's eyes widened with surprise. "Brother, we rarely split up…"

Lou Wushuang explained, "Being unexpected is the only way to beat Canglan. Do you remember that the Tan Cheng combination of Time also split up when encountering Canglan? We might not be able to win against the combination of Cat God and Old Zhang if both of us are the guards. If we separate, I will bring the healer, you will take the paladin and the middle will have the double assassins combination. This is triple the insurance."

The named players nodded seriously.

Ghost Spirits had six assassins, a paladin and a blood kin sacrifice. The previous arena games had the Lou Zhang brothers as the guards while the front two combinations were relatively weak. Today when facing Canglan who was strong in the arena, Lou Wushuang would take the sacrifice and Zhang Shaohui the paladin. The strength of these two combinations should be enough to fight the aces of Canglan.

Zhang Shaohui naturally had no objection to his brother's decision and quickly nodded. "I understand."

In fact, the Ghost Spirits team had focused on practicing the arena during this one week. After all, Canglan was acknowledged to be strong in the arena. In order to cope with them Lou Wushuang had combined with the sacrifice and Zhang Shaohui also cooperated with the paladin. They were all first-rate players and often cooperated in team battles. This one week of training was enough for them to form a combination in the playoffs.

Everything was prepared and the rest time was over. The referee lit the signal light to indicate the beginning of the second game. The waiting audience members encouraged the players with warm applause.

***

The second game was Canglan's home game.

Kou Hongyi said with a smile, "I think this game will definitely be the arena mode."

As a result, Li Cangyu didn't hesitate to submit the game mode and map to the referee—a team battle, the Frost League.

"…" Kou Hongyi once again felt like crying. He suddenly found that every time he explained a Canglan game, he would guess wrong. Cat God's thoughts really couldn't be guessed by stupid humans!

Canglan was strong in the arena yet they actually chose a team battle at home?

Kou Hongyi cursed in his heart and touched his nose. "Cough, it seems that I guessed wrong…"

Yu Bing had long been accustomed to this and calmly said, "Cat God's thinking, 99% of people can't guess it."

Kou Hongyi smartly replied, "The remaining 1% is called Ling Xuefeng."

The audience, "…"

They carefully pondered it and found that these words were true. To be honest, 99% of people couldn't guess Li Cangyu's tactical thinking but Ling Xuefeng could often guess it. Perhaps because they were both summoners?

In front of the TV, Su Guangmo couldn't help laughing, "Haha, Lou Wushuang probably wants to cough up blood!"

The Flying Feathers team had prepared for a week for team battles only for Canglan to choose three arena games. This caused Su Guangmo pain. Now Lou Wushuang also felt this pain. After practicing the arena for a week and spending the few minutes of rest time arranging the order of the arena, even splitting up the Lou Zhang combination, the result was that Canglan chose a team battle!

What did Cat God want to do?"

Zhang Shaohui directly let out crude words. "Crap! Frost League, isn't this too sinister?"

Ghost Spirits, "…"

Frost League was within the angel realm in the Miracle game. It was a bright white map where the ground was paved with ice crystals. Walking on it would reflect their image, like stepping on a mirror. The map was similar to Ice Valley and had a full map deceleration effect. Unlike Ice Valley, this map had a number of icicles in the middle as obstacles in addition the deceleration.

If it was just deceleration than the assassins of Ghost Spirits weren't worried.

The key was the icicle obstacles. It was reasonable to say that a map with obstacles was excellent for an assassin since they could hide behind various obstacles to unexpectedly attack the opponent.

However, today there was Zhuo Hang!

As long as Zhuo Hang placed traps around the icicles, it was impossible for the assassins of Ghost Spirits to be invisible!

The impact of the small Zhuo Hang was so large on Ghost Spirits. This was unpredictable for the audience members and Lou Wushuang.

***

The game soon started and both teams loaded on the map.

The lineup for Canglan was the same as before. Xiao Gu, Xiao Zhuo, Ah Shu, Vice-Captain Bai, Cat God and Old Zhang. The lineup of Ghost Spirits also hadn't changed. They brought four assassins, a paladin and a blood kin sacrifice. This was the most stable lineup.

After seeing this, Yu Bing had a hunch that Ghost Spirits would find it hard to win.

There was a reason for Lou Wushuang's decision. This was the most stable lineup for Ghost Spirits and had won against many strong teams. The problem was that this lineup didn't have many advantages against Canglan. The playoffs were a brutal elimination system and a tactical error was likely to ruin the chances of the team advancing.

If Ling Xuefeng was the commander, he definitely wouldn't hesitate to change people in the second game. Ling Xuefeng was tough and would decisively substitute someone on the spot. In comparison, Lou Wushuang was more cautious and conservative. The style of his command was calm and meticulous, but he was rarely bold.

Li Cangyu was the opposite. Among the commanders in the league, he could be called daring and would give many wonderful lineups. The amazing thing was that he could still win…

This game turned out like Yu Bing guessed. Lou Wushuang was calm and conservative while Li Cangyu was particularly bold. He directly used Zhuo Hang as a super bodyguard. Zhuo Hang's traps were present wherever the players went. It was basically impossible for the assassins of Ghost Spirits to sneak up on Canglan.

In the first wave of combat at the ice dragon, Li Cangyu used his wind spirit and blew the players towards the icicles. Cat God once again acted to kill Flowing Moon and Quicksand of Ghost Spirits!

Both of them wanted to cry. Why were they so unlucky today? They were forced out of stealth twice?

This wave of combat was more intense than the previous game. The two assassins of Ghost Spirits took Xie Shurong's life before dying and the Lou Zhang combination killed Zhuo Hang. The two sides exchanged 2:2 heads with no loss.

The key point was that the two heads were taken by Li Cangyu while the Lou Zhang brothers took one head each.

This would create an economic gap and was equivalent to fattening up Li Cangyu. There was an elf summoner with an acceleration staff in his hand. In the next wave of combat, he became like a phantom and was an unpredictable existence. His pets walked across the field and others couldn't catch him. He was a bug!

Cheng Wei came to the venue to watch the game and couldn't help saying, "I want to turn black on Cat God. Deliberately wandering around in front of the Ghost Spirits members. Is this intentional? Captain Lou's psychological quality is really good if he hasn't coughed up blood yet!"

Tan Shitian smiled and said, "Fattening up Cat God, Ghost Spirits won't have any good fruit to eat next…"

Indeed, the result of Li Cangyu's double kill wasn't just the acceleration equipment to improve his movement speed but also an attack bonus to improve his explosive power. A simple Fireball from the fire spirit could decrease the opponent's blood by 15%. Two Fireballs was equivalent to a big move!

Li Cangyu was extremely fast and Fireball had a short casting time. He could almost seamlessly connect them. The audience saw Old Cat wearing the white summoner's outfit and blowing like the wind through the map. The fire spirit followed him and Fireball was released one after the other, almost becoming a gorgeous fireworks show!

The healing ritual of the Ghost Spirits team was interrupted by Fireball and the sacrifice was so angry that he wanted to drop his keyboard!

In this game, Ghost Spirits once again lost and the score on the big screen became 2:0.

This was unfavourable for Ghost Spirits!

The mood of the Ghost Spirits fans were very low. Everyone thought that Ghost Spirits would have no problems before the match. However, today everyone saw a brand new Canglan team that defeated Ghost Spirits in two consecutive games!

Li Cangyu also proved to everyone—we are strong in the arena but our team battle isn't bad!
