The game begins.

The scenes in the holographic game are extremely realistic. The shrill cries of bats can be heard from time to time in the dark caves, and occasionally a group of bats will fly by. Of course, these are all scene effects. The bats in the map have no offensive power during the game. They are just a scene dynamic that causes a certain degree of mental disturbance to the players.

Six cards quickly appear on the scene as a flock of bats fly by.

Both sides started with three cards. Xie Mingzhe summoned Ox-Head, Horse-Faced Monster and Nie Xiaoqian, while Tang Muzhou summoned Desert Rose, Wisteria and Intestines.

Xie Mingzhe's idea was very clear. The Bull Head and Horse Face group attack to reduce the health of the enemy, creating conditions for the Black Impermanence to collect kills. Nie Xiaoqian was flexible and could stand 30 meters away from the opponent's attack range to ensure that she would not be controlled. Summoning her in advance could also save the opportunity to summon cards at the critical moment later. After all, everyone's mental strength is limited, and summoning too many cards at the same time would be difficult to control.

Coincidentally, Tang Muzhou's playing style is very similar to Xie Mingzhe's.

Desert Rose is one of the strongest AoE cards in his deck. Its first skill, "Rose Language", can drop dense rose petals within a 30-meter range, causing AoE damage. Its second skill, "Rose Thorn", is a passive defensive skill. All opponents who attack the rose will be stabbed and suffer a negative bleeding state of "losing 2% health per second".

Tang Muzhou is also a very strong original card player. He has given plant cards a variety of powerful skills.

The damage of the Desert Rose's wood-type AoE attack is not particularly high, only knocking off about 20% of the opponent's health, but its cooldown time is very short, only 25 seconds. The rose is covered with thorns, and the passive "stab damage" is very annoying. Xie Mingzhe decided to ignore it for the time being and kill it before its 25-second AoE cooldown ends.

The card that gave my senior brother a headache in his deck was actually another one - Water Lily, which put the group to sleep for 4 seconds and exerted strong control.

According to Tang Muzhou's awareness, as long as he uses the Water Lily group to control Xie Mingzhe's joker, 4 seconds is enough for him to kill the most critical Black Impermanence in Xie Mingzhe's deck. Therefore, Xie Mingzhe must save a big move to deal with the Water Lily.

At the beginning, both sides played cautiously. Tang Muzhou's Desert Rose sprinkled rose rain all over the sky, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Warriors also spread red spider lilies all over the ground - red petals were sprinkled in the sky, and red flowers bloomed on the ground. If the scene was not too gloomy, this picture would definitely be beautiful.

However, the next moment, the scenery formed by the flowers was completely destroyed.

The poison of the intestinal weeds is spreading!

Amid the blood-red red spider lilies, the dark green smilax glabra suddenly grew wildly, and the entire scene was filled with a layer of poisonous fog.

This Broken Intestines Grass is the core card of Tang Muzhou's "Wood Poison Attack Method" and is also the strongest plant group poison attack card in the alliance. As soon as it appeared, Xie Mingzhe's Bull Head and Horse Face were instantly stacked with four layers of poison, and they were losing blood every second!

The most annoying thing about the card Broken Bowel is that its skill can form a poison circle with a range of 30 meters. Enemy cards that step into the poison circle will be poisoned, and the poison will continue to stack. After four layers are stacked, the amount of health lost per second is quite terrible. If there is no treatment card to recover, it is easy to be consumed to death.

The host said nervously, "Student Xie Mingzhe is having a bad start! The Intestines are still stacking poison. If he doesn't find a way to deal with this card, his cards will probably be killed by the slowly stacking poison!"

Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and made a bold decision.

He directly discarded the two cards, Ox-Head and Horse-Faced. At the moment when the two cards were poisoned by the Intestine-Breaking Grass, he suddenly summoned Black Impermanence and White Impermanence at the same time, and directly activated White Impermanence's protective skill - delaying the settlement of all damage by five seconds.

During these five seconds, all his cards will not be affected by the poison stack, so Nie Xiaoqian can cooperate with Hei Wuchang to launch a harvest!

The three cards Tang Muzhou summoned at the beginning, Desert Rose, Broken Intestines and Wisteria, all had their health below 40% due to the group attacks and linked skills of Bull Head and Horse Face. As long as Nie Xiaoqian took action, Hei Wuchang could easily stack three marks.

Nie Xiaoqian decisively split out the phantom. She teleported into the poisonous circle of the Intestines-breaking Grass like the wind and destroyed the mother grass in the center of the poisonous circle. Then she swung the tallest Intestines-breaking Grass directly in front of Hei Wuchang, allowing Hei Wuchang to kill it with one normal attack!

The unfavorable situation of being repeatedly attacked by poison was finally alleviated.

Nie Xiaoqian continued to kill Desert Rose. She teleported back and forth between the phantoms too quickly. In addition, Hei Wuchang could also teleport, and he was dressed in black. In the night environment, it was difficult for the opponent to determine Hei Wuchang's position.

Just as Nie Xiaoqian and Hei Wuchang were about to join forces to kill Desert Rose, the next moment, the audience saw a sudden bright light in front of their eyes, a soft white light flashed in the dark cave, and then, an extremely beautiful, glowing tree appeared in front of everyone.

——The luminous tree is a special tree that contains fluorescent elements. It can emit pure white fluorescent light at night, illuminating the scene within a range of 30 meters and revealing the true form of invisible targets and phantom targets within the range.

One of the hidden cards that Tang Muzhou brought in this game was actually the Luminous Tree, which had the abilities of illumination and breaking invisibility!

The appearance of this card thwarted Xie Mingzhe's plan to use the terrain to launch a sneak attack. Not only was the position where Hei Wuchang was standing clearly illuminated, but Nie Xiaoqian was also illuminated by the luminous tree, and all the illusions were clearly presented. Tang Muzhou found Nie Xiaoqian's true identity at the first time. He threw out the wisteria without hesitation, and the dark purple vines extended quickly like tentacles, directly tying Nie Xiaoqian to the spot.

The most powerful thing about Nie Xiaoqian's card is that she can teleport flexibly within 7 seconds after splitting the phantom, but Tang Muzhou's Luminous Tree and Wisteria are very restraining to her, almost directly destroying Nie Xiaoqian's first skill, A Chinese Ghost Story.

Senior Brother's awareness is indeed strong. This targeted card-playing method makes Nie Xiaoqian's effect half useless. But Xie Mingzhe is not panicked. Nie Xiaoqian is tied up and can't continue to teleport output, but he still has Hei Wuchang!

Once Hei Wuchang's first skill "Peace in the World" is activated, his attack power and attack speed are greatly improved, not to mention that he also has a second skill "Wuchang Soul-Demanding" that can teleport!

I saw Hei Wuchang teleporting directly behind Desert Rose, and with his terrifying combo, he killed Desert Rose in less than 3 seconds!

Black Impermanence is a card that relies on normal attacks to deal damage. As long as the combos are stacked up, the output is really terrifying to watch. A single scratch with its claws can cause tens of thousands of HP to be lost.

The audience at the scene exclaimed in surprise, and the audience on the live broadcast platform could hardly believe it: "This handsome boy is quite powerful! Tang Shen's cards were actually killed two in a row." "He is really aware and reacts quickly!"

Xie Mingzhe's attack was calm and powerful, and even Tang Muzhou couldn't help but admire him in his heart - the junior brother was really improving rapidly. He was able to remain calm when his plans were disrupted. Compared with the guy who was beaten by Fenghua Team 2 for seven games in the past two weeks, he was completely different.

The Black Impermanence who killed two cards in a row has two negative marks on his body. Because of attacking Rose, he also has the negative effect of "stab wound", losing 2% blood per second.

Xie Mingzhe's Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons were killed, and Nie Xiaoqian was tied up and unable to move. Tang Muzhou's Desert Rose and Intestines were killed, and the effect of the luminous tree made the dark environment ineffective, and the purple wisteria was tying up Nie Xiaoqian.

The card ratio between the two sides became 5:5, and they fell into a rare stalemate.

But soon, Hei Wuchang broke the stalemate!

Hei Wuchang's skill 1 has a 30-second attack bonus. After killing two cards in a row, he quickly moved behind Zi Teng and killed Zi Teng, who was at 40% health, in one breath with terrible combo damage!

The number of cards is 5:4, and Xie Mingzhe actually has a slight advantage?

The audience couldn't believe it, and the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't believe it either. They all started to discuss on the screen: "Tang Shen was killed 3 times in a row, this newcomer is amazing!" "Tang Shen's rhythm is not right, there is always a very strange feeling." "Yeah! Tang Shen's Water Lily and Begonia have not appeared, what is he thinking?"

The audience was puzzled.

But Nie Yuandao, who was watching the live broadcast at the referee club, quickly pointed out the key point: "Tang Muzhou is playing a coaching match."

Shan Lan was stunned: "Master, what you mean is that Tang Muzhou is playing according to the opponent's rhythm and guiding the opponent to make responses again and again?"

Nie Yuan nodded and said, "With Tang Muzhou's strength, if he had tried his best, Xie Mingzhe's cards would have been killed long ago. He didn't use the Luminous Tree at the beginning, so that Xie Mingzhe could launch a group attack in the dark environment. He also used Desert Rose and Intestines to attack, so that the health of both sides' cards tended to be balanced. Now, the number of cards has been kept balanced."

Shan Lan: “…”

Tang Muzhou has won the fifth and ninth seasons of the individual competition. With his strength, it is not difficult to defeat a newcomer like Xie Mingzhe. However, the difficulty is that from beginning to end, he has been cleverly maintaining the balance on the field, so that the health and number of cards on both sides will not open up a significant gap.

He really had good intentions and was always in line with Xie Mingzhe's rhythm to guide the other party to make the most correct response. This is also the most common method used by senior masters in many clubs to train newcomers, which can inspire the newcomers' great potential.

Even Ye Zhu noticed it and couldn't help but complain in the group: "Isn't Tang Shen too gentle to this newcomer? Is this a coaching match?"

Pei Jingshan, who also graduated from Imperial Capital University, said: "After all, Senior Brother Tang is back as a guest of honor at school. Everyone knows his strength. It is not right for him to beat the junior brother directly. It would be more graceful for him to guide the junior brother in the game."

It has always been a tradition for guests to show mercy during coaching matches.

However, Tang Muzhou was indeed more attentive today, and his coordination with Xie Mingzhe's rhythm was perfect.

It was as if he was tailoring a guiding match for the opponent according to Xie Mingzhe's habits and ideas, allowing Xie Mingzhe to fully demonstrate his strengths while also clearly realizing his own shortcomings.

Such guidance is really hard to come by. The players of Fenghua Club's second team are a little jealous - when has Tang Shen ever been so gentle to them? The newcomers in the training camp don't have this opportunity to be personally guided by Tang Shen!

At the competition site, Xie Mingzhe's Black Impermanence already had 3 marks, and Tang Muzhou was left with only the lonely luminous tree standing in the center.

The 30-second attack bonus time of Hei Wuchang has ended, and there will be a 10-second idle period. Fortunately, after Zi Teng was killed, Nie Xiaoqian was free, and her skill 1 will soon be cooled down.

Xie Mingzhe speculated that his senior brother would definitely take some action next.

Sure enough, Tang Muzhou directly summoned the water lilies - the whole group fell into a coma!

But Xie Mingzhe had already prepared for this move, and almost at the moment the water lily appeared, he immediately summoned Meng Po.

A bowl of poisonous soup was forcefully poured onto the water lily - plants cannot drink soup, but pouring the soup onto themselves will still have the same effect. Affected by Meng Po's skills, the water lily forgot what she should do, not to mention controlling her opponent.

Meng Po's control was indeed timely, and even the host couldn't help but complain: "Water Lily has simply forgotten her skills..."

The barrage in the live broadcast room went crazy: "Hahaha, I want to light candles for Tang Shen!" "Why do I want to laugh so much? Tang Shen's water lily failed to put his opponent to sleep, but he fell asleep himself!" "This Meng Po card is simply shameless!"

In the competition field, Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, gave a thumbs up to his clever junior brother in his heart, and then summoned out the Begonia.

Begonia is a very strong attack card. Its first skill "Four Seasons Flowers Bloom" has four different modes: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Spring and autumn are single attacks, while winter and summer are group attacks. You can choose any one of the four modes.

Tang Muzhou chose Four Seasons of Autumn, which deals high wood damage to the designated single target.

He aimed at Nie Xiaoqian who was closest to him, and with a critical hit, he killed the bloody Nie Xiaoqian instantly!

At this time, Tang Muzhou still had 4 cards left, and Xie Mingzhe also had 4 cards left. Both of them had a hidden card that had not appeared.

Begonia's output is too strong. The fact that Nie Xiaoqian was killed instantly is proof of this. We cannot keep this card to continue killing Hei Wuchang. If Hei Wuchang dies, Xie Mingzhe will lose completely.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe immediately summoned his last hidden card.

A slim beauty suddenly appeared on the field.

Lin Daiyu raised her slender hands and sprinkled a few small petals on the Begonia.

——Daiyu buries flowers!

It turned out that the card Xie Mingzhe hid in his hidden deck was the hidden card he replaced after seeing his senior brother's deck: Lin Daiyu.

Flowers are killed instantly, and Tang Muzhou’s extremely powerful Begonia is directly taken down!

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't believe it: "This freshman is going to defy the heavens!" "I still want to laugh, hahahaha, Tang Shen's Four Seasons Begonia was defeated by Sister Daiyu in one move!" "Tang Shen also has this day? Junior brother 6666!"

The audience gave thumbs up to Xie Mingzhe.

In fact, Xie Mingzhe's ability to compete with champion player Tang Muzhou until now has won him praise from many professional players.

After using Daiyu to bury the flowers and kill Begonia in one second, Xie Mingzhe decided to blow up the mark.

There are four marks on the Black Impermanence's body. Once it explodes, the opponent's living Water Lilies and Luminous Trees will be killed.

Could it be that today's freshman exchange competition will have a historic moment? A freshman defeating a great guest?

The audience held their breath nervously.

But the competition field is always changing rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen next - at the moment when Xie Mingzhe exploded the Black Impermanence mark, Tang Muzhou summoned his last hidden card.

White poppy.

Pure white poppy flowers bloomed in large areas on the stadium, and a strange fragrance quickly spread - group chaos!

Chaos will cause "attack deviation". The deviation of a single attack may be from target A to target B, while the deviation of a group attack will only be from the opponent to the teammate!

Black Wuchang's explosion mark would originally cause a lot of damage to the enemy, but when White Poppy's chaos was activated, Black Wuchang actually cleared the field.

The field to be cleared is that of one's own people.

Seeing all the joker cards being blown to death by the Yin-Yang marks, Xie Mingzhe almost vomited blood.

It turns out that Tang Muzhou had this bad idea! He is indeed a man full of bad intentions!

After the audience was stunned for 5 seconds, the host said with a smile: "Well... Congratulations to Tang Shen for winning. Xie Mingzhe blew up all his own jokers. Ahem... He failed at the last hurdle!"

Xie Mingzhe rolled his eyes in his heart. It was indeed true that the atmosphere in his sect was not right. The junior fellow disciples’ making cards was annoying, and the senior brothers’ competing in the competition was even more annoying.

Master in the audience, are you okay?

Chen Xiao stole a glance at Chen Qianlin and found that he looked serious and did not make any comment on the duel between his two disciples.

Tang Muzhou walked over with a smile and shook hands with Xie Mingzhe.

Xie Mingzhe said helplessly: "You are such a coward for fighting like this. You want me to blow myself up. You have made up your mind from the beginning, right? I have stepped into your trap step by step!"

Tang Muzhou's smile was gentle and harmless: "Well, it seems you are very happy to be hooked."

Xie Mingzhe was silent for a moment before he said in a soft voice, "Thank you."

Tang Muzhou was startled: "What?"

Xie Mingzhe suddenly became serious, looked him in the eyes, and whispered, "I know you are playing in the coaching match. I understand everything you taught me. Thank you, brother."

Tang Muzhou: “…”

Looking at Xie Mingzhe's bright eyes, Tang Muzhou felt a little complicated.

He was indeed using this method to teach Xie Mingzhe himself, and what was rare was that the little junior brother actually understood it all.

You can understand everything I give you. This kind of tacit understanding makes Tang Muzhou feel better.

He suddenly felt that participating in this year's freshman exchange competition was the right decision, and being selected by Xiao Xie in the challenge session was an unexpected surprise.

Thinking of this, Tang Muzhou's eyes became even gentler. He leaned close to Xie Mingzhe's ear and said in a low and gentle voice, "Wait for me at the school gate later. I'll treat you to a midnight snack."

Xie Mingzhe simply nodded: "Okay, I have something to tell you too."

There was thunderous applause from the audience. No one could hear what the two of them were saying to each other, and they thought that Tang Shen was encouraging his junior.

In order to avoid arousing everyone's suspicion, Xie Mingzhe immediately took a step back, politely shook hands with Tang Muzhou, smiled at him, then turned around to accept the limited edition peripheral gifts handed out by the host, waved handsomely to the jealous audience, turned around and walked off the stage.

The handsome boy's back quickly disappeared in the crowd.

At that time, no one in the professional circle had thought that he was the famous Fat Uncle in the game, and Tang Muzhou’s real “junior brother”!
