After Yu Ke took off his helmet, his eyes were red and the sour feeling in his nose almost made him cry. However, he thought that the director might cut the camera to the players' booth. It would be too embarrassing to cry in front of so many people. He quickly suppressed his excitement, sniffed, and asked Xie Mingzhe: "Did we win?"

Before the final round, both of them were ready to fight, and neither of them had the confidence to win. Looking at the score of 2:1 on the big screen, Yu Ke couldn't believe it was real, as if he was dreaming. In fact, he didn't play a big role in the third round, but just withstood the pressure and let Hua Tuo survive. In the end, he fed Wang Xifeng a lot of Ma Fei San to reduce the damage, so that the Gui Liu combination could not focus on killing Wang Xifeng.

Ultimately, it was all Xie Mingzhe's credit. Yu Ke always felt that he won by relying on Azhe's strength.

But Xie Mingzhe didn't think so. Winning the doubles competition was the result of the joint efforts of both people. Although Xiao Ke's strength was not as good as the top players in the professional league, he had always seen his efforts during this period. If Xiao Ke hadn't tried his best to withstand the pressure, he alone would not have been able to drag Jia Baoyu to the later stages.

Xie Mingzhe smiled and gave Yu Ke a hug, rubbed his head and said, "Well done, we won!"

Yu Ke's eyes turned red, he hugged Xie Mingzhe tightly and buried his face in Azhe's arms. As for whether his snot rubbed on Xie Mingzhe's body, he no longer cared so much. Anyway, he only knew that he was so happy that he wanted to explode on the spot!

They won! They made it to the quarterfinals!

Backstage, Tang Muzhou saw this scene and frowned slightly, but he was relieved when he found that Xie Mingzhe quickly let go of Yu Ke - he believed that his lover would not have the slightest ambiguous relationship with Xiao Ke. He probably only regarded Yu Ke as a younger brother, so there was no need to mind even if there were intimate actions. As a senior brother, he should be more generous. A little jealousy can make people happy, but too much jealousy can hurt the body.

Thinking of this, Tang Muzhou smiled and turned to his master and said, "The card you just mentioned is Jia Baoyu?"

Chen Qianlin nodded. "Well, this card was actually made in the same batch as Wang Xifeng's, but it never had a suitable opportunity to be used. Today, Azhe took it out to beat the Gui Liu combination, which was a bold attempt. Dragging the opponent to death is not his style. I think Gui Liu and others probably didn't expect him to use such an extreme style."

"Indeed, Azhe rarely uses this style of play." Tang Muzhou looked at the big screen with admiration, his eyes full of tenderness: "The tactical ideas in the decisive game are very novel, you are worthy of being my junior brother."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Who will be Ah Zhe's opponent in the next match?"

Tang Muzhou said: "We have to wait until Xiaobai finishes playing before we can draw lots."

Now Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke have already won the A and H groups, and are waiting for the result of the last match between Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang and Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu. After they finish the match, the top eight will be confirmed, and the draw for the quarterfinals will be held.

On the big screen, the camera was on the stage. Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke left their swivel chairs and shook hands with Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu. This was also a necessary etiquette after the game. Gui Sirui smiled and said, "Congratulations. Today's performance was really great."

Xie Mingzhe said modestly: "You are too polite. I am lucky to win."

The "Weapon Chamber" map randomly generated by the system has a blood loss effect on the entire scene, which is actually very beneficial to Xie Mingzhe's strategy of relying on Jia Baoyu to drag the game to the later stage, because the summoned Lin Daiyu can add blood to Jia Baoyu, Xue Baochai can add a shield to Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu can help Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun resist damage, which is equivalent to forming a perfect protection chain. The blood loss of the scene makes up for Xie Mingzhe's lack of output. Only by dragging the game to the later stage can he rely on two output cards and impeccable protection to slowly grind down the opponent.

The tactical plan is of course the key, but luck also plays a role.

Liu Jingxu doesn't like to joke around. He is more interested in making cards. He said to Xie Mingzhe, "You have made a lot of new cards recently, right? Let's talk about it when we have time."

Xie Mingzhe agreed with a smile: "Okay, the decks will be announced before the team competition starts anyway, and I can't hide it for long."

Xiao Ke followed behind Xie Mingzhe and was too embarrassed to speak, just like Xie Mingzhe's little follower. Fortunately, Gui and Liu were very polite to him and even praised him a few words, which made Yu Ke feel flattered.

When he walked in front of Gui Sirui, Yu Ke said seriously: "You have always been my role model."

Without Gui Sirui, there would be no Joker. Although Yu Ke didn't like his style very much, he always knew that this player was his guide to the Star Card Game and the bridge for him to meet Xie Mingzhe. After winning against Gui Sirui, Yu Ke felt very complicated.

Gui Sirui was quite open-minded. He patted Xiao Ke on the shoulder as a senior and encouraged him, "You are very smart and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Come on, follow Azhe and practice hard."

Yu Ke held his head and smiled foolishly: "Yeah, I will!"

When the two returned to the backstage, they were surrounded by reporters. The reporters of course praised Xie Mingzhe's performance: "Azhe performed so well today. His operation on Yanqing in the first game was smooth and flowing. Yanqing is really the most elegant and agile assassin card I have ever seen!" "Many fans said that they hope you can open the copy rights of this card. Although everyone is clumsy, they also want to try what it feels like to operate Yanqing!"

Xie Mingzhe said in a good-tempered manner: "I will consider opening up the copyright of the card. However, the card Yanqing has a lot of room for manipulation, and it will be difficult for novices to get started. Don't scold me when you get confused in the arena."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and another reporter asked: "In the third round, you used the tactic of dragging the opponent to death. Did you think of this before the game?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded. "Xiao Ke and I have practiced this formation for a long time. The dual treatment system will protect Jia Baoyu into the later stages, allowing Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun, two loss cards, to survive. As for whether we can drag the opponent to death, there is also a certain luck factor..."

Xie Mingzhe always speaks freely and without any stage fright whenever he is interviewed.

Yu Ke stood aside and no one interviewed him. All the focus was on Xie Mingzhe, as if he didn't exist... Of course, he wasn't jealous, after all, Ah Zhe was really strong, and it was normal for reporters to focus on Ah Zhe. However, he inevitably felt a little disappointed, and always felt that he had come to this point by relying on Ah Zhe's thighs.

Xie Mingzhe noticed his disappointment and took the initiative to steer the conversation towards Yu Ke: "Xiao Ke played very well today. If he hadn't withstood the pressure of the opponent's concentrated fire, it would have been difficult for me to keep Jia Baoyu alive until the end. Moreover, he improved very quickly, from being a damage dealer to a support player. It only took him a week to master so many support cards."

The reporters then turned their attention to Yu Ke. Surrounded, Yu Ke felt flattered. When he met Xie Mingzhe's gentle gaze, he suddenly felt a warm feeling of being cared for.

They are of similar age and were college classmates, but Xie Mingzhe is always gentle and caring to him like an older brother. Yu Ke also unconsciously regards Azhe as his older brother. It's really strange. Is it true that his mental age is really a few years more childish than Azhe?

We should learn from Xie Mingzhe and think more maturely!

On the way back to the backstage after the interview, Yu Ke suddenly said something very mature and calm: "Azhe, I feel like I am dragging you down. If you had teamed up with Brother Chen to play doubles, with your strength, maybe you could have competed for a medal..."

Xie Mingzhe interrupted him with a smile: "Brother Chen and I have our own considerations. What's wrong with you today? Why are you saying this?"

Yu Ke was also confused, and felt that he had thought too much today, unlike the heartless Yu Ke in the past. However, he always felt empty in his heart, especially in the second round when facing Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu's concentrated fire, he was really panicked, and was completely defeated by the two gods without any resistance. It was also that round that made him completely realize the gap between himself and the top players.

If Ah Zhe is only one step away from being a first-tier player, then there is still a long way between him and the top players. Doubles competition requires tacit cooperation between two people. Today, Xie Mingzhe can lead him to victory easily, but what about tomorrow? Will Ah Zhe have a hard time leading him? Being a burden is not a pleasant feeling. Yu Ke also knows that he has no choice but to work hard.

When the two returned to the backstage, the audience burst into applause. Many professional athletes gave affirmation to their performance today. Tang Muzhou even stood up and gently hugged Xie Mingzhe. The latter cooperated and threw himself into his arms. When the two looked at each other, there were smiles in their eyes.

This pair of brothers hugged each other every day, and everyone was used to seeing it. Except for Chen Xiao and Pei Jingshan who knew the truth, no one else thought much about it. They just felt that the relationship between the brothers was really good.

Pei Jingshan did not express any opinion. He hurriedly stood up and took Ye Zhu to the preparation area.

There is also a second match today, between the second place in Group A and the first place in Group H.

After the game, Xie Mingzhe sat in the viewing area with a relaxed mood, discussing with his senior brother: "It's still a little difficult for Xiaobai to win, right? The Pei Ye combination is an old partner, and the tacit understanding between them is not comparable to that of him and Yi Tianyang."

Tang Muzhou said bluntly: "Don't even mention it's hard to win, it's hard to win a single game."

"You mean, they will lose 0:2?" Xie Mingzhe felt that Xiaobai was not that miserable, right?

"Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu have been a team since the seventh season. The tracking style is difficult to crack. Bai Xu wants to use the teleport flow to attack, but Ye Zhu's attack ability is stronger than his..." Tang Muzhou analyzed calmly, "I guess Bai Xu can't win a single game in this game."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhu used "Transparent Butterfly" to follow up Bai Xu's key teleportation card "Cosmic Wormhole", and then summoned Pei Jingshan's worm card to launch a roundabout attack, destroying Bai Xu's wormhole card instantly, cleanly and without any delay.

The flexibility of the Butterfly cards was fully demonstrated under Ye Zhu's control. With Pei Jingshan's extremely tacit cooperation, this combination with extremely strong tracking ability defeated Bai Xu and Yi Tianyang 2:0 with their powerful strength.

Xie Mingzhe looked at the boy on the screen with sympathy: "Poor Xiaobai, it really is 0:2."

To his surprise, Bai Xu, who lost the game, did not look depressed. Instead, he ran over to congratulate Pei Jingshan. Yi Tianyang, with his signature smile on his face, gave his old teammate Pei Jingshan a friendly hug in a graceful manner.

Xie Mingzhe asked in confusion: "Xiaobai seems to be in a very calm mood today?"

Tang Muzhou said: "It may be that Yi Tianyang has done a good job of ideological work in advance. The two of them have been partners for less than a month, and it is indeed a fantasy to beat Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu. The time for them to really exert their strength should be in the next season. This time, they can just regard it as accumulating experience."

Xie Mingzhe thought thoughtfully: "It seems that Yi Tianyang has a great influence on Xiaobai. Xiaobai looks much more mature."

Tang Muzhou nodded in agreement: "You don't know? Yi Tianyang's major in college is psychology. He is very good at coaxing people. Once Bai Xu, this silly boy, is coaxed by him, he will definitely revolve around him. I estimate that Yi Tianyang will have the final say in the next season of the Star Team."

Xie Mingzhe felt that in the long run, Bai Xu's confused personality would make it difficult for him to lead the team. If Yi Tianyang had the final say, the Star Team might have a better development prospect. But that was all for the future. What was more important at the moment was who would be the opponent in the quarterfinals.

Tang Muzhou said in a tacit understanding: "Now that the quarterfinals have been confirmed, who do you hope to face in the next round?"

Xie Mingzhe joked, "It's good that you're not my senior brother."

At this time, the director showed the list of eight pairs of players on the big screen. Wu Yue said, "Dear audience friends, the list of players who have entered the quarterfinals of the doubles competition has been confirmed. Reaching the quarterfinals in a competition full of top players is a recognition of the players' strength. Let us give a warm round of applause to congratulate the eight pairs of players!"

The audience applauded wildly and also paid close attention to their favorite players' performance in the next round.

Arrows appeared on the screen, and the order of the competition was revealed one by one.

Liu Chen said: "The quarterfinals will be divided into the upper and lower halves. The upper half will be Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan against Zhen Man and Shen An, while Ling Jingtang and Xu Hang will face Zheng Feng and Wei Xiaotian..."

Hearing this, Xie Mingzhe suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He and his senior brother were both assigned to the lower half, could it be that...

The next moment, he saw a red arrow on the big screen directly connecting him and Tang Muzhou, and Liu Chen's calm voice rang in his ears: "In the lower half, Fang Yu and Qiao Xi will face Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu; Tang Muzhou and Xu Changfeng will face Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke."

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

You are such a crow-mouthed person. You shouldn’t have said something full of flags like “I’m glad it’s not you” just now!

Chen Qianlin glanced at his two disciples and found that both of them had complicated expressions.

As the lineup was announced, the backstage viewing area fell into a strange silence.

Zhen Man and Shen An are destined to be cannon fodder when facing Nie Lan. Zhen Man has a good mentality. She is satisfied with reaching the quarterfinals with Shen An and does not mind being a runner-up for the Nie Lan combination in the quarterfinals. Ling Jingtang and Xu Hang will face Zheng Feng and Wei Xiaotian, and it will depend on who performs better. The competition between Fang Yu, Qiao Xi, Pei Jingshan and Ye Zhu will be extremely fierce. Both sides are evenly matched and the outcome is unpredictable. And the competition between Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke will be the biggest highlight of the quarterfinals.

Tang Muzhou sighed, looked at Xie Mingzhe, and whispered, "I didn't expect to meet you so early."

Xie Mingzhe smiled helplessly: "Don't steal my words. I don't want to confront you so early."

Xu Changfeng was watching the show on the side with an expression of "it's none of my business". Behind him, a group of professional athletes were surrounding the two brothers. Ye Zhu was almost going crazy with joy. He went over to Pei Jingshan and said, "Internal fighting within the sect. Hahaha. Xie Mingzhe is so annoying. Others can't deal with him, but Tang Muzhou can, right? Their match must be very lively, hahaha!"

Pei Jingshan rubbed Xiaozhu's head and said, "Keep your voice down and don't be so gloating."

After all, he couldn't help but laugh - because he also felt a little bit lucky. What can he do?

Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe are not only brothers, but also lovers. Not many people know this. Pei Jingshan thinks that the next battle will not only be a civil war within the sect, but also a scene of domestic violence! This is so interesting.

However, Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe both took the competition very seriously. Pei Jingshan understood his friend's temper and knew that Tang Muzhou would never let Xie Mingzhe off. This put Xie Mingzhe under a lot of pressure, as Tang Muzhou was the player who knew him best in the league. For Xie Mingzhe, facing his senior in the quarterfinals was not good news.

Xie Mingzhe quickly adjusted his mentality and joked, "I will go back and prepare well. Senior brother, please don't show mercy."

Tang Muzhou smiled slightly and said, "Will I show mercy? Just don't get beaten so badly that you beg for mercy."

Xie Mingzhe raised his eyebrows: "I'm begging you for mercy? You must be dreaming!"

Chen Xiao: “…………”

Could you please stop smiling so brightly when you two are swearing at each other and make it more like flirting? I just can't stand it.

Pei Jingshan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he coughed lightly, turned his head and said to Fang Yu: "Please give me your guidance in the next game."

Fang Yu, who was very frugal with words, nodded and said, "Yes."

Pei Jingshan was helpless and took Ye Zhu, who was still laughing, away from the scene - what kind of people are these!
