On May 1, the 11th season of the Star Card Professional League's free-round tournament officially began. At the same time, the first round of the individual tournament was also over, and the list of players entering the second round was officially announced on the official website - a total of 100 people. Nirvana's Xie Mingzhe, Chen Xiao, and Yu Ke are all on the list. As long as they qualify smoothly in the second round, they can make it to the second half of the individual tournament playoffs.

In the individual competition, everyone usually trains on their own. The opponents in the first round are randomly matched, so there is not much to worry about. The key is the team battle. The team members must concentrate on practicing cooperation. In order to fight against Fenghua, the four of them have been practicing the Yue Lao system almost non-stop these days, and even dreaming about love with red ropes.

At 7 pm on May 1st, the round-robin tournament officially started.

Two matches are scheduled for tonight. The first is between Group A Ghost Hell and Group B Starry Sky, and the second is between Group B Nirvana and Group A Fenghua.

Different from the intra-group round-robin system of "drawing lots to decide who goes first and who goes second", the extra-group round-robin system has two rounds, so it is a fixed home and away system - whichever team's name comes first is the home team.

At 6:30 in the evening, the contestants participating in tonight's competition arrived backstage early.

Bai Xu was very nervous. He had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to play against Guiyu at home when he watched the civil war in Group A. So far, Guiyu had a perfect record at home. Even Fenghua and Liushuang City could not beat them during the civil war in Group A.

Just when I was having a headache, I heard two familiar voices: "Tonight is Nirvana's home game, have you prepared many surprises for me?" Tang Muzhou's voice was smiling and sounded gentle.

Xie Mingzhe said bluntly: "There are too many surprises. I'm afraid you will beat me up after the game."

Tang Muzhou smiled helplessly: "It seems that the surprise you prepared will turn into a shock again?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "You guessed it right!"

Bai Xu: “…”

These two are obviously rivals, but they were chatting so "harmoniously" before the game. Is this scientific?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe walking in side by side. After Xie Mingzhe saw Bai Xu, he walked to Bai Xu's side and sat down, saying, "Xiao Bai, do your best in the game later, don't let the hell beat you 2:0."

Bai Xu was stunned for a moment, looking at him blankly: "Xiao Bai? Who told you to call me that?"

Tang Muzhou said: "I asked him to yell, do you have any opinion?"

Bai Xu: “…………”

I always feel that there is something fishy about the relationship between my cousin and Xie Mingzhe? Bai Xu's mind was a little confused, so he simply ignored them and went to find his teammates to prepare for the game.

At 7 o'clock, the game started. The Onihell team played very fiercely at their home court. The Star Team was almost powerless to resist. They were defeated in less than 8 minutes in the first game, and the second game ended in 7 minutes. Before 7:30, the first game ended with a score of 2:0...

Tang Muzhou said bluntly: "It ended so quickly that I didn't even have time to react."

Bai Xu drooped his head in depression, like an eggplant hit by frost. He was in no mood to refute his brother's teasing, and sat on the sofa in a depressed mood. Xie Mingzhe saw that he was pitiful, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, it's normal for Guihe to lose at home. It's better to lose quickly in 7 minutes than to be tortured slowly by the opponent for half an hour and still lose in the end."

"..." It's better not to comfort him. Bai Xu glanced at the other party and asked with a dark face: "Do you have the confidence to beat my brother in Nirvana's home court later?" He paused, and then felt that he was showing too much concern, and immediately changed the topic, "Group B can't be wiped out today, right?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "I will try my best to save some face for Group B."

Even if Group B was completely wiped out today, it was normal, after all, the schedule was arranged like this, and Group A played against Guiyu and Fenghua today. Fortunately, the second game was at Nirvana's home court, and Xie Mingzhe had already made some arrangements for Fenghua.

The second match was about to begin. The eight contestants from Fenghua and Nirvana walked onto the stage together. Tang Muzhou shook hands with Xie Mingzhe, who smiled at him and said, "Come on."

Tang Muzhou raised his eyebrows: "Cheer for the opponent before the game, are you using your mind to curse me to make a mistake?"

Xie Mingzhe: "You saw through me."

The two smiled at each other, then turned around and sat back on the swivel chairs.

Fans in the live broadcast room were all confused: "It seems that Tang Shen and Azhe have a good personal relationship?" "They just smiled at each other, so they must have a good relationship?" There were also fans who paid more attention to tactics and spammed the screen: "Who will be the coach of today's game?" "Azhe should be the coach against Fenghua. If Chen Xiao and Tang Muzhou fight in a wood-type civil war, they will not have much chance of winning, right?"

As he was speaking, Xie Mingzhe sat in the No. 1 position on the far left, which symbolizes the commander's status.

Commentator Wu Yue said: "It seems that A-Zhe will be the coach today. The home and away games are fixed in the group stage, and both games today are at Nirvana's home court. I think Nirvana's fans must be very curious about what new scenes and new cards Xie Mingzhe will choose. Let's look forward to it together!"

The map selection box appeared, and Xie Mingzhe quickly submitted the home map for the first game - the Marriage Tree.

There were two big trees standing in the middle of the huge square, with their branches and leaves intertwined, almost merging into one. The name of the tree was "Marriage Tree", and it was hung with red wishing charms. Every once in a while, the wishing charms on the tree would fall down, two at a time.

The Wishing Charm has a special function - it can make two cards fall in love quickly and fall in love. The two cards in love will not attack the opponent, but will share all positive and negative states because of their love for each other.

Since it was a new map, the 5-minute familiarization time allowed the audience to clearly see the map's strange settings.

The live broadcast room was filled with comments like "What the hell is a passionate love state?" "So today, the cards of Nirvana are going to fall in love?" "Hahaha, the marriage tree dropped a love wishing charm, look at the expression on Tang Shen's face..."

The corners of Tang Muzhou's mouth twitched slightly, and soon it turned into a graceful smile.

What is going on in the little apprentice's mind? One moment it's about kidnapping, the next it's about pregnancy, and now it's back to the beginning. Is it time to let the card fall in love? Is it okay not to?

Tang Muzhou quickly thought of a strategy and said in the command channel: "Only two wishing charms dropped. Since Nirvana has been prepared, we may not be able to grab them. Continue to play at your own pace."

Shen An was bewildered: "Master, the wishing charm will make the card fall in love, sharing the damage and healing... Isn't it a bit like our Ivy?"

Tang Muzhou nodded, "That's right. Ivy's link will share the damage with the whole group, and Wishing Charm will only let two cards share the damage. Nirvana should find a card with high defense and high health to fall in love with the fragile card to protect the fragile card. In this case, we will quickly shift our firepower and kill those single cards first."

Xu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Now there are single and single cards?"

Zhen Man said expressionlessly, "Not only are there those who are single or not, there are also those who have given birth to babies and those who have not."

Everyone: “…”

Tang Muzhou coughed lightly, suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, everyone get ready."

After 5 minutes, both parties started submitting their decks.

There are no new cards in the 16 open cards in Nirvana's deck today. Xie Mingzhe's deck is a gold deck, with accelerated Ma Chao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with high single-target output, and the linkage card Liu Bei; Chen Xiao's plant cards are all group attacks; Qin Xuan did not bring many treatment cards, but he did have two more group control cards; Yu Ke brought Meng Po in addition to Black and White Impermanence and Nie Xiaoqian.

The audience cannot see what is hidden in the hidden cards, but based on the number of cards on the field, Chen Xiao's plant cards plus Qin Xuan's auxiliary cards currently only have 8 wood-type cards. If you want to build a deck of 10 cards of the same type, there must be at least 2 wood-type cards in the hidden cards.

The only thing Fenghua didn't know about Xie Mingzhe's deck was the Wood deck. But judging by the number of cards, Xie Mingzhe didn't directly use the Wood deck today because there were too many Gold Critical Hit Cards in his open deck.

In other words, some scattered cards are put into the dark deck? Because scattered cards are easy to match, the tactical system around scattered cards will be more flexible.

Is it Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth?

Tang Muzhou couldn't guess his junior's idea, so he had to "respond to ever-changing situations with the same attitude" and focus on testing in the first round.

The game begins.

The Fenghua team was playing away from home, so Tang Muzhou played very cautiously and did not attack rashly.

Nirvana was more proactive. Since Xie Mingzhe's gold cards moved very quickly, he let Ma Chao accelerate at the beginning. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode their horses into the enemy camp. Liu Bei started a joint attack again, using the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Zhangba Snake Spear to attack together. They launched another round of joint attacks, giving priority to killing Xu Changfeng's cooldown cards "Hyacinth" and "Windmill Grass" instantly!

Xu Changfeng's cooldown reduction card for the whole group is not the key to Fenghua's tactics in this game, but the existence of these two cards reduces the cooldown time of all plant ultimates, which will become more and more difficult to fight in the later stages. Xie Mingzhe is particularly good at seizing opportunities. While Fenghua did not launch an attack, he quickly killed the opponent's two cooldown cards in seconds, reducing the pressure on skill time.

But Zhen Man's counterattack speed was also extremely fast. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei approached on horseback, she quickly released the snakes, poisoning the cards within 30 meters of Nirvana with several layers of poison.

At this time, Tang Muzhou forced a flash of success and controlled the field with a 30-meter illusion!

Xie Mingzhe had to give up Liu Bei's control-releasing skill, but Tang Muzhou immediately released the Coral Vine - a large range of vines that crawled quickly on the ground like tentacles, and bound all the cards within the Nirvana range.

This group of people were tied up and released very skillfully. Xie Mingzhe had no time to react before all the cavalry were tied up in place.

No matter how fast a horse runs, it can't move if it's caught by vines!

The Fenghua team's output skills focused on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu, who had a weak defense, almost fell to the ground immediately. Yu Kechong and Nie Xiaoqian, who were in the front, were also killed instantly by the rapid firepower.

The two sides exchanged skills, and each side lost 2 cards at the beginning.

At this moment, two wishing charms dropped from the marriage tree.

Tang Muzhou was too lazy to argue. He brought Ivy in this game, so he could share the damage with the whole group, so the two cards of Wishing Charm were dispensable to him. Instead of grabbing this scene item, he might as well take the opportunity to kill a few more Nirvana cards.

Xie Mingzhe quickly grabbed two wishing talismans and connected Zhang Fei, who had the lowest HP in the front, with Bai Wuchang, who had over 150,000 HP in Yu Ke's hand, so that at least Zhang Fei would not die.

A text prompt appeared in the battle channel: Card Zhang Fei and Card Bai Wuchang are in love.

Another wave of comments flooded the live broadcast room: "The cards are so busy, having to fall in love while playing games!" "Why does it feel so awkward for the human card and the ghost card to fall in love with each other?" "I think Zhang Fei and Bai Wuchang are both reluctant to this relationship!" "The cards must be helpless to have a master who is pulling red strings!"

Tang Muzhou wanted to laugh when he saw this scene - the setting of his junior brother letting the cards fall in love was enough. Fortunately, his own cards did not have to suffer this kind of torture. As a serious card, he should remain single.

At this time, the HP of the character cards Xie Mingzhe used to charge the formation at the beginning was low, especially Ma Chao, who was the acceleration card for the whole group, with less than 10% HP left. Since Zhang Fei was tied to Bai Wuchang to share the HP, and he couldn't kill him immediately, he would kill Ma Chao first.

Tang Muzhou summoned a big banyan tree, intending to rely on the banyan tree's invincibility for the entire group to clear Nirvana's remaining blood cards in one wave.

But at the moment the banyan tree appeared, Xie Mingzhe suddenly summoned a new card - Yue Lao.

I saw an old man with gray hair, holding a red silk in one hand and a cane in the other, with a warm and kind smile. With a wave of his hand, the old man tied one end of the red string to Tang Muzhou's banyan tree and the other end to Nirvana's bloodless card Ma Chao.

——A thread of fate is enough to tie the knot. Yue Lao throws out the red thread in his hand. The two ends of the red thread connect any two designated targets. When connected by the red thread, the two parties will be unable to control their emotions and fall in love with each other. After falling in love, the two cards will share all gain and loss effects, and all treatment and damage data equally until the red thread breaks.

——The cards connected by the red line are full of love. When one of them loses health, the other will be heartbroken and willing to share its own health with the other until the health of both parties is equal.

The sudden appearance of Yue Lao made the audience a little confused.

Ma Chao and the banyan tree were connected by a red string, and they fell in love with each other.

Influenced by the second skill "Lovely Tenderness", Rongshu "felt sorry" for his lover who was losing blood, so he shared his own blood with Ma Chao. Not only did it quickly restore Ma Chao's blood, but the enhanced status was also shared. Tang Muzhou happened to activate Rongshu's invincibility, so... Ma Chao also became invincible.

Tang Muzhou: “…………”

Watching his big banyan tree directly restore the health of the opponent Ma Chao to full, Tang Muzhou's mouth twitched slightly.

——I didn't try to steal the wishing talisman, but you made another one, a matchmaker, to force my plants to fall in love?

——Xie Mingzhe, you know that you are very annoying if you do this?

The audience was also stunned: "Did Tang Shen's banyan tree fall in love with Xie Mingzhe's Ma Chao?" "The banyan tree sacrificed its own blood to heal Ma Chao, did I see it wrong?" "The banyan tree is adding blood to the opponent and making the opponent invincible, this is true love!" "Hahahaha, Tang Shen probably wants to vomit blood, Xie Mingzhe is too naughty!" "Forcing people and plants to fall in love, oh, I feel sorry for the banyan tree." "The banyan tree said: I don't want to have this love. Master, I didn't betray you, it's all Xie Mingzhe's fault!"

Compared to Tang Muzhou's complicated expression, Xie Mingzhe's face was full of smiles at this time.

Fall in love with a red string, use the banyan tree as a blood bank, and it will fill up your blood in a few seconds, which is faster than adding blood yourself. It's so cool!

The matchmaker will soon gather two more red threads. Which card of yours is the best to fall in love with next?
