Chapter 171 Top 100 Contest



The rules of the "Top 100 Qualifying Tournament" in the semi-final stage are three rounds in total. In the first round, 100 players are drawn and matched. The players ranked in the top 10 in the preliminary round only need to play one elimination match, and they can directly advance if they win; while the players ranked in the bottom 90 need to be randomly matched to play two rounds, and they must win both rounds to advance to the top 32. As long as they lose one of the games, they will enter the waiting area.

After two rounds of competition, if there are still vacancies in the top 32, the players in the waiting area will be selected based on the highest winning rate. If the winning rates are equal, they will be allowed to compete again.

Since Xie Mingzhe had a 100% winning rate in the preliminary round and was in the top eight in the rankings, he only needed to play one game to be directly admitted to the top 32; the same was true for Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao's luck was better than Xie Mingzhe's. The opponent he was matched with was weaker, and he easily won the game 2:0. Both of them entered the top 32 on the first day and obtained the alliance registration qualifications.

The news that Fatty won 82 games in a row and made it to the final round caused a sensation among his fans, who left messages to congratulate him. Xie Mingzhe also posted a Weibo saying, "Thank you for everyone's blessings. I'm very happy to get the registration qualification for the league, but for me, this is just the beginning. I will work harder in the future!" This Weibo post was once again pushed to the top of the day's hot list.

Ye Zhu from the Professional League also reported the news in real time: "Did you guys watch today's Masters Tournament? Fatty made it to the top 32 with a 100% win rate!"

Shan Lan: "He can become a formal professional player. We can see him in the new season. Are you happy, Xiaozhu?"

Ye Zhu: "Happy!"

Ye Zhu: "But when I thought about Xue Baochai's butterfly dying, I became unhappy and wanted to beat him!"

Xiao Zhu's attitude towards Uncle Fatty has become "black to the point of natural pink".

Ling was surprised and said, "It is normal for Fatty to make it to the top 32. I am more curious whether he can win the Masters."

Zheng Feng said: "Yes, I think Uncle Fatty has no problem getting into the top four. There are quite a few reserve players this year, right? These reserve players will be his tough rivals. We'll see then."

Ling said in surprise, "We have a reserve player in the Temple of the Gods. He was signed last year. His name is Zhou Xingchen. He is very talented. He failed to make it to the top 32 in the last Masters due to illness. He will also participate in this year. He is the one with the ID Xingguang."

Ye Zhu looked at the rankings and said, "This Xingguang also has a 100% winning rate, just like our Binbin."

Zheng Feng asked curiously, "Binbin? Is it the Ye Binbin that Xiao Pei personally signed last year? I remember this player. He seemed to be using a curse deck, which was very unique."

Pei Jingshan popped up and said, "Yes, Senior Zheng, Ye Binbin's winning rate in the preliminary round was not very high, but he gave up after only two games in the top 100 round. Something happened at home and he couldn't participate. I noticed that his deck was very unique, so I asked the club to sign him as a reserve and fight again this year."

Ye Zhu posted a screenshot of the rankings in the group and said, "There are eight players with a 100% winning rate. Aside from Uncle Fatty, are the other seven all reserve players of the major clubs?"

Shan Lan: "We were the ones who made the decision on the person with the ID Nine Lives Cat."

Zheng Feng: "The one called 'Headless General' is a newcomer to our Ghost Hell."

Shen An also said positively: "Cao Mu Cong Sheng is a new member of our Feng Hua and has been in the training camp!"

Qiao Xi from Liushuang City popped up and said, "I claim 'Mizunoe', he is a player from Liushuang City."

After a moment, Ye Zhu continued to ask: "What about Yunxiao? No one claims it?"

Everyone was silent. It was obvious that this player was not a reserve player of any of the major clubs.

Ye Zhu was a little puzzled: "Isn't Yunxiao Zhichang a reserve? Then where did this expert come from? A 100% winning rate is a little scary!"

Shan Lan said, "This person seems to be the vice president of Nirvana?"

Ye Zhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yes! I actually forgot about Nirvana! This person is indeed the vice president of the Nirvana Guild. It seems that this person is Uncle Fatty's teammate?"

Everyone was very curious. The addition of Fatty Uncle made this year's Masters Tournament very interesting, but not many people knew about his teammate "Above the Clouds". Ye Zhu only watched Fatty Uncle's game and couldn't help but say, "It seems that this 'Above the Clouds' is also quite strong. We must take a good look at his performance in the final round!"

Gui Sirui watched all 50 games of the first round of the top 100 competition. In the evening, he found Zheng Feng and said, "Master, I found that among the four players of Nirvana, in addition to Yunxiao Zhishang and Ke Xiaoke, there is another person named QX."

Zheng Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Tell me, how did you find it?"

Gui Sirui explained with a smile: "First, everyone in their team would definitely choose the same half as Uncle Pang to avoid conflicts, and all players in the lower half were excluded. Among the 50 people in the upper half, Ke Xiaoke and Yun Xiao Zhi Shang were both teammates of Uncle Pang. The fourth person was more difficult to find, so I analyzed the deck and found that the deck used by this person named QX was very special, and it was similar in style to Yun Xiao Zhi Shang's deck."

The computer in front of him projected a holographic screen, on which were images that Gui Sirui had captured while watching the game. They were all dark plant cards, and the card makers' logos were all hidden.

Zheng Feng's expression immediately turned serious: "It seems that behind Nirvana, besides Uncle Fatty, there is also a very powerful original card maker who is good at making dark-style plant cards."

Gui Sirui said: "There should be two more."

Zheng Feng: “…two of you?”

Gui Sirui pointed at the two cards "Blood Rose" and "Black Elderberry", and then pointed at the "Black Mage" and "Dark Ice" next to them, and analyzed carefully: "Although Yunxiao Zhishang and QX both use dark plant cards, they look like the work of the same person, but I found that there are still some differences in the details. The style of the card is either realistic, like a photo of a plant taken in real life, or more comic style, with the plants in the card beautified to a certain extent."

He magnified the card ten times, and Zheng Feng took a closer look. It was indeed as his apprentice had said, there were slight differences in the painting styles of several cards.

Gui Sirui has a strong ability to observe details, probably because he has liked horror and suspense movies and novels since he was a child. When he saw the QX deck, he had a strange intuition. After the game, he enlarged the cards for analysis and confirmed his inference.

Zheng Feng stroked his chin in thought, and after a moment he said, "Plant card... this realistic style of painting, why do I feel so familiar with it?" He paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, then suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed tightly, "Is it Chen Qianlin?"

Gui Sirui was stunned. As a junior who debuted in the fifth season, he had never met Chen Qianlin. He had only heard many legends about this great god. Seeing his master's complicated expression, Gui Sirui couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Master, are you saying that these cards were made by God Lin?"

Zheng Feng frowned: "I just feel very familiar with him. He has been away from the alliance for five years..." As if he recalled something, a heavy emotion flashed in Zheng Feng's eyes.

But Zheng Feng quickly adjusted his expression and said, "Xiao Rui, don't tell anyone about this for now. Also, pay close attention to Yunxiao Zhishang and QX's plant decks. I'm worried that Nirvana's strength may be far beyond our imagination."

If his speculation comes true and Chen Qianlin also joins the Nirvana Club, then this club will be quite terrifying...it may even have the potential to win the championship in the eleventh season!

***

The top 100 competition will last for three days in total.

Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao advanced directly on the first day because of their excellent results in the preliminary round. Yu Ke won two games in a row on the second day and advanced, while Qin Xuan was in a more dangerous situation. In the second day's game, he won 2:0 in a thrilling way, but lost the first game in the last round of the third day.

The score was 0:1 behind.

If he loses one more game, he will be eliminated!

His teammates were also very nervous when they saw this. If he was eliminated, Nirvana would not be able to play in team competitions in the eleventh season.

Qin Xuan had a calm expression, but he was actually under a lot of pressure. The more important reason he joined Nirvana was that his paintings were appreciated by Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao, who pulled him in to make scene cards. His competitive skills were not actually top-notch. He was very self-aware, but he didn't want to lose the game and drag his teammates down.

Qin Xuan took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mentality.

Chen Qianlin stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him, "Don't be nervous. Use the card I made for you to drag the opponent and play slowly."

Qin Xuan nodded vigorously and started the second game.

In the second game, the opponent was a folk master named "City of Light". He took out a fire deck. Perhaps the victory in the first game made him full of confidence, so he wanted to burst out and kill QX's plant card directly.

Qin Xuan happened to be at home and chose a map that caused group blood loss.

At the beginning, the opponent summoned 5 cards in a row, hoping for a big explosion, but Qin Xuan quickly distanced himself and used the "Dark Ice" group freezing skill, freezing the enemy target group within the range.

The opponent's first wave of attack was forcibly interrupted. Immediately afterwards, Qin Xuan summoned two cards in a row - Blood Rose and Black Elderberry!

Blood Rose's wide range of stinging and blood loss, Black Elderberry's wide range of staining and blood loss, all blood loss states are superimposed, and instantly stacked to 10 layers. 10 layers of negative blood loss states will cause the opponent's card to continue to lose a large amount of blood per second, and the opponent must be treated, otherwise the card will lose blood to death.

However, in order to end the battle as quickly as possible, City Light did not bring any healing cards, but instead brought 6 output cards and a control card, which made his defense very weak. Qin Xuan adjusted his displacement and deliberately kept a distance to avoid being controlled by his opponent. City Light could only watch helplessly as his cards continued to lose health, and unexpectedly... all of them died of blood loss.

This style of play is really annoying, and it gives people a depressing feeling of "having the strength but nowhere to use it"!

In the third game, City of Lights brought a healing card on purpose, but Qin Xuan also changed his strategy. He took out a dead vine for field control. The black vines threw the healing card far away and firmly controlled the displacement of the healing card, making it impossible for the healing card to add blood to teammates within the range. In the end, he used the "bleeding stacking" method again to wear out his opponent!

Despite falling behind 0:1, Qin Xuan withstood the psychological pressure and won two games in a row, defeating his opponent 2:1!

But since he lost a game, he had to enter the waiting area.

The teammates were all nervously waiting for the results. When the third day of competition was over, there were 28 players who had won all the top 100 rounds, and the remaining 4 positions would be selected from the waiting area.

According to the winning rate, Qin Xuan ranks fourth, but the fifth-placed player has the same winning rate as him, so in order to grab the final 32 spots, he still needs to play one more game.

This game was crucial, and his teammates ran over to encourage him.

After the thrilling match just now, Qin Xuan was surprisingly calm at this time. He lost the first game again, but then Qin Xuan withstood the pressure and staged a comeback by winning two games in a row. His teammates were really scared to watch.

In the end, Qin Xuan won 2:1 and grabbed the last spot in the top 32 without any risk!

From then on, all four players from Nirvana Club advanced to the final round.

Yu Ke was so excited that he almost jumped up. When he saw Qin Xuan taking off his laptop, he rushed over and hugged Qin Xuan tightly, saying, "That's great. You've reversed two games in a row and finally advanced! You can also be a formal professional player in the future!"

Qin Xuan: “…”

He hated physical contact the most, but Yu Ke was a heartless and outgoing person. At first, she was a little afraid of him and would stand at attention when he glared at her. But after getting familiar with him, she almost wanted to climb on his head.

Qin Xuan frowned and gently pushed Yu Ke away, thinking: Please don't hug me, okay?

The next moment, Xie Mingzhe came over and gave him a warm hug: "It's great that the four of us can register together."

Qin Xuan: “…”

Could you please stop being so intimate?

Then, Chen Xiao also came over, hugged Qin Xuan and said, "It's really difficult for you, a support, to fight against others alone. Don't worry, we will protect you in team battles in the future. You just need to stand behind us and use your skills secretly."

Qin Xuan: “…………”

Qin Xuan lost his temper after being hugged by his three teammates. His expression was very cold, so why were his teammates not afraid of him at all? Qin Xuan was embarrassed by everyone's enthusiasm, and his ears couldn't help but turn red, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry, I will play well in the finals. Just treat it as a training."

Chen Qianlin always felt that Qin Xuan, this young man, seemed to have too many things on his mind and it was difficult for him to open up to his teammates. Unlike Yu Ke, who was a simple little boy, he would happily follow everyone if you gave him some benefits.

Fortunately, after such a long time together, Qin Xuan no longer had his initial resistance to everyone. Chen Qianlin felt very comforted when he saw the four people hugging each other to celebrate their promotion.

If the four of them want to develop a tacit understanding, they must at least get along well with each other. Chen Qianlin believes that the Nirvana Club will definitely be a team with a very harmonious atmosphere in the future.
