After Xie Mingzhe finished making four new cards, he discussed the skill settings and data distribution with his master, and then asked Qin Xuan to help make the skill special effects. He also invited his master's friend, Mr. Luo Cheng, to make the sound effects.

There are many sound effects of thunder and lightning in the system database, but most of them are similar to the sound of electric current. Xie Mingzhe's "Five Thunder Attacks" is a sonic attack, preferably real thunder in nature. Fortunately, Mr. Luo is a professional music producer with a lot of sound effect materials. He quickly customized exclusive sound effects for the skills of Lei Gong, Dian Mu, Feng Bo and Yu Shi according to Xie Mingzhe's requirements.

After finishing the sound effects, Xie Mingzhe imported the four cards into the simulated arena and listened to the effects of the skills - thunder, lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain. The realistic sound effects gave people the illusion of being in nature and experiencing a storm.

Yu Ke said excitedly: "It's so real, I want to buy an umbrella for the cards!"

Before leaving, Luo Cheng found Chen Qianlin, patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Your apprentice is very talented! If he doesn't want to make cards anymore, let him come to me and I will take him to a film crew to be a director."

Chen Qianlin: “…………”

Chen Qianlin should be happy that his disciple was praised, but he just felt a headache.

After the "Eight Immortals Concert", Azhe made the "Natural Symphony of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning". He was determined to go on the road of combining skills, special effects and sound effects into one, and there would be no turning back. Making a card is more serious than making a movie.

After seeing off his friends, Chen Qianlin called Xie Mingzhe over alone and asked, "How many fairy cards do you need?"

Xie Mingzhe set aside a separate area in the display cabinet to store the cards that can be classified as "Fairy Clan". It looked clear at a glance. He quickly counted and said, "There are still 7 cards missing. I already have an idea. I will find time to do it after the group stage is over."

Chen Qianlin said calmly, "I suggest you wait until the round of 16 is over before doing it."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, then looked up at his master: "Sixteen to eight? My opponent hasn't been determined yet..."

Chen Qianlin pulled up the points table on the official website of the Professional League and said, "The 15th is the last day of the group stage. I have booked the tickets in advance. Let's go to the site and watch all the games together. We will know the results by then."

Xie Mingzhe nodded obediently. Since his master said so, he must have his reasons. There is no rush to make the cards. Instead, he must spend a few more days preparing seriously for the next doubles elimination match.

Xie Mingzhe submitted the four cards to the review channel, and the official data analysts complained again: "The thunder made me tremble with fear and almost deafened. The thunder sound effects submitted by Xie Mingzhe are too realistic, right?" "Thunder, lightning, wind, rain, coupled with Wang Xifeng's hahahaha laughter, I feel like it's the scene of a blockbuster movie!" "..."

Data analysts know how many cards Hsieh Ming-che has made. What he brought out in the doubles competition is just a tiny fraction. I am really looking forward to the day when Hsieh Ming-che brings out all the new cards. This will definitely be the most exciting card movie ever.

***

After the cards were approved, Xie Mingzhe placed the four cards of Thunder God, Lightning Mother, Wind Master, and Rain Master in the "Fairy Card" area.

He temporarily stopped thinking about making new cards and paid close attention to the situation in the group stage.

As the group stage draws to a close, the teams that will qualify and the opponents for the next round are becoming clearer. In Group A, Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke have won five games in a row, and have won five games in a row with a score of 2:0. With 10 points, they are firmly in first place in the group and will definitely qualify. The other teams will also decide their final rankings on the 15th.

At noon on August 15, all Nirvana members went to the competition site to watch today's competition in person.

It happened to be Saturday, and the venue was filled with students and office workers on holiday. There were matches scheduled from 1pm to 10pm, and the first match was the group match between Group A's Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang and Liu Ran and Zhou Xiaoqi.

This is the last match of Group A. Both teams have similar points. This match will determine who will qualify as the second place in Group A.

Xie Mingzhe saw Bai Xu in the backstage. They had not been in contact since the last game. Xie Mingzhe thought that Xiaobai would shy away when he saw him, but he didn't expect Xiaobai to come over and say seriously, "You and Yu Ke have already qualified as the first in Group A. Brother Yi and I will qualify as the second. We will definitely make it this time!"

In the first half of the team competition, in order to compete for the fourth place in the playoffs, Nirvana and Starry Sky fought for a long time on the points list. In the end, Nirvana got the chance to qualify and Starry Sky was eliminated.

In this doubles competition, the two of them were placed in the same group again, what a "bad fate".

Xie Mingzhe actually hoped that Xiaobai could make it to the round of 16 this time. After all, he was Tang Muzhou's younger brother. Xie Mingzhe would feel bad every time he failed to advance to the next round because of him.

Seeing Bai Xu's confident look, Xie Mingzhe reached out and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him: "You can do it, keep going."

Bai Xu clenched his fists: "Just watch me perform!"

Behind him, Yi Tianyang smiled and whispered to Xie Mingzhe, "In the last match, I lost because I didn't trust Xiaobai enough, and you won because your tactical thinking was novel enough. However, this is only a group match, and your opponents are not strong enough. In the round of 16, those masters with tacit cooperation are not so easy to fool. Relying on hidden cards to win by surprise may work once or twice, but it may not work the third time."

It was obvious that his words were advice to him from a veteran player. Xie Mingzhe listened carefully and said, "I understand what you mean. Thank you. I will prepare well."

Yi Tianyang nodded and took Bai Xu onto the stage.

***

Behind the scenes of the match, as Xie Mingzhe entered the VIP viewing area, he saw Tang Muzhou sitting in the second row. After meeting his gaze, he smiled and waved at him: "Come sit here, there's no one in this row."

The league has reserved a VIP viewing area for professional players. Players who want to watch the game can make reservations in advance. They don't need to sit in designated seats, and it's common to just sit with acquaintances.

Seeing that his eldest disciple took the initiative to greet them, Chen Qianlin did not hesitate and led everyone to the second row. Xie Mingzhe consciously walked to the end so that he could sit with his senior brother.

The two of them acted as if nothing had happened, but after everyone sat down, Tang Muzhou gently held Xie Mingzhe's hand under his seat.

When his fingers were intertwined, Xie Mingzhe's heart skipped a beat and his ears felt hot.

No one can see it from under the seat, right? Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe boldly shook hands with his senior brother and even pinched his palm.

Tang Muzhou's smile deepened as he was being pinched, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "You don't have any matches today? Why are you all here?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "It was the master who asked us to come."

Chen Qianlin heard this and said, "There's nothing to do in the club, let's take everyone to the scene to see what other groups are doing."

Tang Muzhou hummed and said, "The results will be out tonight."

As we were chatting, the first game began and four contestants walked onto the big stage.

Liu Ran and Zhou Xiaoqi are newcomers who debuted this season. They are eager to "qualify as a group" and even regard "qualifying as a group" as the goal of this season, so they will definitely try their best today.

But Bai Xu was also looking forward to the "team qualifying". Ever since Yi Tianyang came to apologize to him last time, the knot in his heart had been completely untied, and he left the matter of matching the deck to Yi Tianyang.

Brother Yi was right, partners should trust each other. After all, Brother Yi was the first assistant who won the team championship, and his tactical awareness was much stronger than his own, so Bai Xu willingly put aside his captain's airs and listened to Yi Tianyang's command.

Xie Mingzhe said helplessly: "Xiao Bai and I are always in the same group. It's so unlucky."

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "Don't mind. Bai Xu is much more mature than before. After you beat him 2:0 last time, he has been practicing hard. I saw him backstage just now. He looked more confident than before and seemed to have adjusted well."

Xie Mingzhe also felt that compared to the middle school boy who was full of nonsense in front of reporters when he just debuted, Bai Xu has changed a lot in the past six months. He has also learned to make fun of himself on Weibo. His mentality is really good. Looking at him full of confidence, I really feel the sense of relief that "my little brother has grown up". Xie Mingzhe turned around and asked: "On one side is your newcomer of Fenghua, and on the other side is your little brother. Who do you hope will win?"

Tang Muzhou shrugged: "I'm not biased. But I think Bai Xu has a better chance of winning."

"Because of Yi Tianyang?"

"Well, Tian Yang is a player with a strong sense of the overall situation. With him around, Bai Xu can perform 1.5 times better than usual."

"That's right." Xie Mingzhe looked at the big screen seriously.

The game started and the two sides started a fierce battle.

The first game was also played on Bai Xu's home map Gemini, but Yi Tianyang did not use the rhythm card portal this time. Instead, he transferred all the cards to play face up. In this game, he also brought three new cards, all of which were special star cards made by Bai Xu.

——Chain Nebula: Chains the designated target together to forcibly distribute the damage.

——A time loophole caused all our card skills to stagnate in the air, delaying their release by 5 seconds, just in time to avoid the invincibility of the banyan tree.

——Zombie Planet, a planet filled with the breath of death, looming in the sky, will make all the opponent's bonus effects and healing effects disappear.

Xie Mingzhe looked at the endless new cards on the field and carefully examined Bai Yi's combination for the first time.

He found that he seemed to have underestimated his brother Bai Xu. Bai Xu's talent in card making was not inferior to his, but Bai Xu's cards were all limited to celestial bodies and the universe, just like butterfly cards and insect cards, which were small - but this could not deny Bai Xu's intelligence.

This kid just needs some training. Yi Tianyang's arrival is a timely relief for the Star Team and Bai Xu personally. Xie Mingzhe believes that Xiaobai will definitely become a top player in the future!

I'm really happy for my brother.

Xie Mingzhe watched the game with great interest. When he saw the exciting parts, he couldn't help but applaud: "Beautiful! This wave is well played!" "Wow, this skill is dodged, Xiaobai is very smart!"

Tang Muzhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips as he watched him cheer for Bai Xu.

It seems that Azhe treats Bai Xu as his own younger brother and is not at all shy about it - he likes Xie Mingzhe's "casualness".

In this match, Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang won 2:0 in the end. So far, all the group matches of Group A have been completed. The points table was announced on the big screen, and warm applause broke out at the scene.

Wu Yue said: "The two teams that have qualified from Group A have been confirmed. Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke have won all the games in the group, with a total score of 10 points, and qualified as the first in the group! Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang lost 3 games, with a total score of 7 points, and qualified as the second in the group - let us congratulate the two teams that have qualified, and look forward to your performance in the round of 16!"

Liu Chen said: "Zhou Xiaoqi and Liu Ran don't need to be discouraged. They are still young and will have many opportunities in the future. Let's continue to perform well next season! Next, let's pay attention to the last game of Group B..."

Today is the last day of the group stage, and the qualifying list for each group will be officially determined tonight.

From Group A to Group H, as the rosters were announced one by one on the big screen, the emotions of the fans at the scene became more and more excited.

Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan; Tang Muzhou and Xu Changfeng; Fang Yu and Qiao Xi; Zheng Feng and Wei Xiaotian; Zhen Man and Shen An... The audience was not surprised that these teams advanced from the group stage. What everyone was more concerned about was the list of opponents in the round of 16.

At six o'clock in the evening, the Group F matches were over, and Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan were confirmed to have qualified, which was good news - but the bad news was that their next opponents were the first place from Group C: Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan.

When Yu Ke saw this, he felt a little depressed and hung his head, not knowing what to say.

Chen Qianlin looked at Chen Xiao very calmly and said, "You should have expected this result a long time ago, right?"

Chen Xiao smiled easily: "Well, just do your best in the next round."

Chen Qianlin patted his brother's shoulder and said nothing more.

The first place in Group F is Ling Jingtang of the Temple of the Gods and his assistant Xu Hang. As the same attacker + professional assistant combination, Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan are not as good as each other in terms of individual strength; nor in terms of cooperation time and tacit cooperation, they are also not as good as each other, so they can only qualify as the second in the group, but the second in the group means that they will have to face the first in another group in the round of 16.

ABCD will face HGFE respectively, and they will definitely face the big boss of Group C: Master and Apprentice Nie Lan.

In fact, Chen Xiao had expected this result when the group list was released, so he was not surprised when he saw the match list on the big screen. He knew that in this doubles competition, he and Qin Xuan would be eliminated in the top 16.

He really had no confidence in beating Nie Lan. It was not that he denied himself, but he knew his own limitations. Not to mention if he brought Qin Xuan with him, even if Ling Jingtang, who had the strongest individual combat ability, brought Yi Tianyang, the alliance's top assistant, they could not beat Nie Lan and his apprentice.

Nie Lan's tacit understanding is really a bit too abnormal.

Qin Xuan didn't say anything, but his expression revealed a trace of guilt. Chen Xiao smiled and patted his teammate on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay. Let's just take this as an opportunity to see the level of the strongest duo in advance and prepare for the team competition."

Xie Mingzhe also came over and said, "We only formed the team last year, so we haven't had much time to work together. Don't worry too much about winning or losing!"

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Don't rush to comfort me. Your opponent hasn't been revealed yet."

Xie Mingzhe smiled bitterly: "Group H is more troublesome. My chances of winning are as slim as yours. I just have to do my best."

At this time, Xie Mingzhe's fans were very anxious.

The first place team of Group A met the second place team of Group H in the round of 16. Logically, the second place team of the group should not be that strong, but Group H is the famous "death group" in the doubles competition. It includes the female captain Shao Mengchen of the Shadow Team and her partner Shen Jiping, the combination of Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu of the Dark Night City Team, and Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu of the Ghost Hell.

Three pairs of teams that are good at assassination were grouped together. The competition in the group stage was extremely fierce. The rankings on the points list have been changing. Because Shao Mengchen's team fell behind by 2 points, the duel between Pei Ye and Gui Liu tonight will determine the first and second place in the group.

Yu Ke whispered, "I hope Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu will win tonight's match. I would like to play against Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu even more."

Xie Mingzhe understood and said, "You don't want to face Gui Sirui's joker, right?"

Yu Ke held his head, looking very nervous: "Before my debut, I always used his joker cards to play in the arena, and I learned a lot of routines from him. If we really face each other in the arena, he must be very clear about my playing style, and it will be easy to be targeted..."

Xie Mingzhe gently pressed Yu Ke's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. No matter who your opponent is, you still have me as your partner. You are not facing his joker alone."

After saying this, Xie Mingzhe immediately regretted it - isn't this a premeditated decision to face Gui Sirui in the round of 16? He didn't want to face Gui Sirui either!
