All the elders placed their bets on the ancient secret treasures and placed their bets on the team led by Zhong Yi and his companions.

The two main players are Li Moran and Zhou Yue, who have very strong skills and are the absolute favorites to win the championship.

Zhong Yi has always attached greater importance to the glory of the sect.

His main position is mid.

He plays the mage-cultivating Sword Saint and the death-seeking Sion to perfection.

But he knew very well that once these two heroes were banned, he would have to retire on the spot.

There were many experts gathered at that time, and he didn't want to be a burden to them.

Therefore, Zhong Yi found another master from Lingxiao Sect to replace his mid-lane position.

"It doesn't matter, even if you keep dying, we will..."

Even though Zhou Yue often laughed at Zhong Yi's actions, at the critical moment, he still valued his friends more.

"What are you talking about!"

Zhong Yi smiled and punched him, then pushed the honest-looking young man in front of everyone.

"Even so, I still think that we should give our junior brothers some chances..."

"His name is Liu Mo, an outer disciple... Did you expect that Liu Buyu, ranked 32nd on the Heavenly Ladder Ranking, is him?"

"Don't panic, Junior Brother Liu. In this era, a talent for illusions is still a talent... If you ever inherit the Heavenly Dao, you won't necessarily be worse than us, the senior brothers and sisters!"

Zhong Yi patted Liu Mo's shoulder, then nodded slightly stiffly.

Seeing that Zhong Yi had said so much, everyone felt it was difficult to refuse.

"Doesn't the team still have a substitute spot? How about Brother Zhong being the substitute?"

Zhou Ling suggested.

Mu Ya nodded quickly: "I think it's okay!!"

At this moment, Zhou Yue's illusion tower flashed.

After his consciousness sank for a moment, Zhou Yue, the team leader, frowned and looked at the others, saying with a wry smile:

"Someone just applied to join our team..."

"Who is it?"

"White curtain."

As soon as Zhou Yue finished speaking, everyone opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

"Bai Mu? Is he the lone cultivator who abused Elder Li Jiujian in Bed Wars and put a bounty on his head?"

"I guess the news is out of date... This fellow Daoist has just started playing ranked games in "Immortal Demon Battle" and is almost at the top..."

"No? For such a skilled person, why doesn't he form his own team instead of joining ours?"

"Just join if you want to. Why does he have to be a substitute? If nothing else, I'll give him my spot!"

"I'm afraid it's a trick..."

…

After much discussion, everyone finally decided to politely decline the mysterious man.

No matter how you think about it, it is a bit strange that a master who is as powerful as Li Moran would voluntarily ask to be a substitute.

…

The other side.

Lu Ze was resting with his eyes closed in Lingyu Pavilion.

Based on his observations in the game, the Lingxiao Sect team, which has both Li Moran and Zhou Yue, will most likely be the champion of this competition.

If Lu Ze formed his own team to join the battle, his teammates could only be the cyber souls of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

If someone notices something wrong at this time, it might cause some trouble.

Besides that, the biggest problem is:

He was too lazy to participate in the various competitions that lasted for nearly two months, so he just wanted to get a championship reward as a substitute.

Even if he really encountered an opponent that he couldn't defeat, Lu Ze could easily defeat him by logging in temporarily.

So, he took the initiative to send Zhou Yue an application message.

"Oh? Thinking about it for so long?"

It took a long time for the message to arrive in the illusion. Lu Ze clicked on it and saw that it was Zhou Yue's polite rejection.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he continued to send messages to Zhou Yue...

…

"What!? If we don't accept him as a substitute, he'll form his own team and fight us!??"

Zhou Yue was furious when he saw the reply from Lu Ze.

"Damn it! Let it explode! I'll just give up this secret treasure!!!"

"Brother Zhou, did he say anything else?"

Li Moran, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke.

"Uh, let me see..."

Zhou Yue looked at the message from Lu Ze again.

"He said..."

"If we agree to him being a substitute, can he play a training match with us?"
