"Win? Win just like that?"

"How can there be two Yuanshi Tianzuns? What is going on? I don't understand it at all. Can someone explain it to me?"

"You don't understand this? Yuanshi Tianzun used a clone from the beginning. His real body has been lurking around, waiting for an opportunity to attack. This trick is really poisonous. I have been wondering how he will deal with the insight of the river-crossing soldier. I didn't expect to create a clone directly."

"It's a bit tricky, but the River Crossing Pawn also borrowed the corresponding props to restrain Yuanshi Tianzun. Everyone played according to the rules, and there is nothing to say if you lose."

"Less than a minute...Although it was short, it was so exciting. Yuanshi Tianzun was still like in the last game, liking to plan and plot. He is not the type who likes to fight heartily."

"The River Crossing Pawn is not bad. His strategy is fine. He seizes the opportunity to get close and make a quick decision. He cannot delay. If he delays, he will lose. But it seems that Yuanshi Tianzun has calculated this accurately. Alas, a short minute contains a lot of invisible competition."

Compared to the thunderous applause at the end of the battle between Jiang Jingwei and Zhao Chenghuang, the audience at the crater at this time was much calmer and there was no thunderous cheering.

But the discussion level is very high, just like fans who have just watched a game competition, discussing the tactics of both sides afterwards, blaming so and so's shortcomings, where the problems occurred, and which team fight should not have been impulsive.

That kind of relish is evident on the paper.

As for the battle between Zhao Chenghuang and Jiang Jingwei, all they can say is: Damn it!

At most, they would say "awesome", but there was no discussion or participation in the game. They could understand the match between Yuanshi Tianzun and Guohezu, and they could even express their opinions. The rescuers outside the field hurriedly jumped into the molten lava and carried away the bleeding Guohezu.

Although the knife did not hit the vital part, the player's life might be in danger if the bleeding was not stopped as soon as possible.

Zhang Yuanqing was enjoying the cheers from the audience and listening to their noisy discussions, and was about to leave the lava pool.

But just as he took a step with his left foot, his right leg moved first uncontrollably. There was a conflict between the brain's command and the body's execution. He staggered and almost fell.

Damn, the price of the illusion has come... Zhang Yuanqing froze in place, not daring to move.

The red-haired elder stood at the crater, looking at Yuanshi Tianzun who was standing proudly in the field, enjoying the admiration of the crowd, and said impatiently: "Why don't you come up? Do you want to continue the fight?"

Zhang Yuanqing turned around and said sincerely, "Elder, I have a physical problem and cannot move. Can you take me with you?" The red-haired young elder had a gloomy face and said:

"It's no problem for me to give you a ride, but could you please not talk to me with your back turned? That's basic respect." "Oh, sorry!" Zhang Yuanqing quickly turned around.

The red-haired young elder's forehead was bulging with veins: "Facing me sideways is respect?"

”

The red-haired young man snorted coldly, shook his hand and swung out a whip made of flames, hooked it around Yuanshi Tianzun's waist, and threw him onto the shore like a dead fish.

Sun Miaomiao squatted beside Zhao Chenghuang and said with a smile:

"What do you think? Do you still think Yuanshi Tianzun is just so-so?"

As the seeded players of Taiyi Sect, the elders of the sect convened a meeting of the seeded players before the start of the round of 16 to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the top ten players and formulate targeted tactics.

Zhao Chenghuang's evaluation of Yuanshi Tianzun at that time was that he would most likely be eliminated in the top 16, and the limit was the top 8, with no hope of the top 4. Zhao Chenghuang looked at the other party's big black eyes, pondered for a moment, and said:

"He is a person who is very good at using props and environments. The more chaotic and complicated the scene, the stronger his ability will be. If the venue for the quarterfinals is a high-difficulty dungeon, he is likely to become our strong opponent."

Sun Miaomiao nodded slightly.

On the other side, in an inconspicuous position, Annie chuckled and said, "Interesting, Yuanshi Tianzun's fighting style is somewhat similar to that of the Demon Lord, but it is too subtle. Of course, the other contestants are also very subtle."

She was very satisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun's performance. Every time Yuanshi Tianzun won a game, her evaluation of him would go up by one point. Mr. Bill asked, "Imperial?"

Annie nodded. "The Demon Lord's fighting style is meticulous and wild. He likes to insult the women in the enemy's family before the battle to anger the enemy. He even developed a set of catchphrases for this purpose. The Five Elements Alliance and other little guys are all well-behaved before the battle, which is not good."

Mr. Bill had originally asked casually, but now he became interested: "Is this the catchphrase developed by the Demon Lord? If it's not confidential, I'd like to hear it."

Anne shrugged. "It's just some vulgar words. What's there to say? Well, there are some that are not vulgar, but we just can't understand them." She recalled for a moment and said, "Your father and I are of the same faith, and your mother and I are as close as Guan Yu and Bao Yu."

Mr. Bill repeated this sentence in a low voice and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what it means. Can this irritate people?" Anne smiled and said, "You can try to shout it out loud."

......Mr. Bill was silent for a few seconds and shook his head slowly: "Forget it, I don't want to return to the spiritual realm so early." On the other side, like the beauty Annie, there was another beautiful young woman who was extremely satisfied with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Zhu Rong narrowed her beautiful eyes, staring at the vague outline of Yuanshi Tianzun in the distance, with a beautiful yet dangerous smile:

"What an exciting toy."

The next few battles proceeded in an orderly manner, and by dusk, the list of the top eight was announced.

Long live Zhao Chenghuang, Tudigong, Sun Miaomiao, Tone-deaf, Yuanshi Tianzun, Qingsongzi, Yuan Ting, and White Tiger. The red-haired young elder who presided over the competition said loudly:

“The game is over!”

Zhang Yuanqing returned to his little nest, with the window open. The evening breeze blew in, lifting a corner of the curtain.

Outside the room, you can hear the clinking of grandma's cooking. People who are off work are carrying their schoolbags, going in and out of the neighborhood and walking on the streets.

Everyone was in a hurry, dragging their tired bodies home, just in time for dinner. After dinner, they had to rest in preparation for tomorrow's commute.

Songhai is bustling and noisy in the evening. Although it is crowded with people, it lacks a bit of life. Unless you are in the old neighborhoods where the natives gather, it is rare to see aunties enjoying the cool under the trees or old men playing chess in groups.

"Grandma, is dinner ready? I'm hungry." Zhang Yuanqing opened the door, stuck his head out, and shouted. "When did you come back?" Grandma's voice came from the kitchen: "Wait another half an hour."

"oh!"

Zhang Yuanqing retracted his head, picked up his phone, and as usual, sent a victory message to Xiaoyuan to show off. "Not bad!" Xiaoyuan sent him a message in reply.

A few seconds later, another message came: "Don't come to see me these days, I might be followed." Being followed... Zhang Yuanqing was startled and sent a message:

“Is he from an official organization?”

Xiao Yuan: "I don't know. The other party is very cautious and his level should be high. He hasn't made any radical moves yet. I plan to try fishing again."

If I remember correctly, Xiao Yuan is a sorcerer at the Saint stage. A person of this level is still capable of protecting himself even when facing the authorities... Zhang Yuanqing sent a message:

"If you need anything, just ask."

Although Yuanshi Tianzun in the extraordinary stage is not good enough at that time, if the opponent is an official organization, then Yuanshi Tianzun's identity will be useful. Besides, with Master Wuhen protecting Xiaoyuan, it is difficult for ordinary forces to threaten her.

So Zhang Yuanqing wasn't too worried. Xiao Yuan: "Okay."

Zhang Yuanqing did not say anything, but a few minutes later, Aunt Xiaoyuan sent him a "smiley" emoji. Zhang Yuanqing replied with a question mark, but the other party did not respond.

What does that mean? He was a little confused.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing saw someone @ him in the White Tiger Guard group, and clicked on it:

[You Feng Lai Yi: @Yuan Shi Tian Zun, the clone you used today is the "Mirror Flower and Water Moon" in our gang's warehouse. It is difficult to influence the scouts who specialize in insight by means of interference. You chose to use the clone, which is very smart. You are a player who is good at using props. ]

[You Feng Lai Yi: I have listed the strengths and weaknesses of the top eight players, as well as the items that should be used to counter them. Except for the top three, you can find suitable items in the White Tiger Guards' gang warehouse. But there are no corresponding items in the gang warehouse for Zhao Cheng Huang, Sun Miaomiao, and Tudi Gong, unless they are at the Saint level, but I don't recommend you to use them.]

When using saint-level props, the line between what is illegal and what is not is a bit blurred.

So far, no one has used saint-level props. Zhang Yuanqing’s scarecrow has reached this level, but it is an auxiliary type.

[Xiao Nao Fu: It is easy to be judged as a violation, and people will criticize you for winning unfairly. With your fame, you should pay attention to your reputation.]

[Lingjun: It seems that it is still a bit difficult for Yuanshi to enter the top three. I thought you could enter the top three, but after watching so many days of competition, the strength of the top three players is beyond my imagination. I feel that even if you use that prop, it will be difficult to win.] He is referring to the red dancing shoes.

[Qi Ci Lang: If Yuan Shi Tian Zun is unlucky and is matched with the top three tomorrow, he will be eliminated in the quarterfinals. What do you think, boss? @Fu Qingyang]

[Fu Qingyang: The rules of tomorrow's competition may be changed. I just got news from the elders that the headquarters seems to want to throw the top eight contestants into a high-difficulty dungeon to determine the top three in the Gu-raising mode. We are currently discussing this in a meeting.]

Several active people in the group were shocked.

[Nashijiro: Doesn't that mean the supernatural realm's interjection contest is over for today? ]

[You Feng Lai Yi: Haha, based on my understanding of the headquarters, the meeting will last at least three days. There will be no competition tomorrow, so we will have a break instead.]

[Xiao Nao Fu: I think this is a good idea. Large-scale killing dungeons are like breeding Gu. The headquarters may want to make this game closer to killing dungeons so that the top eight players can adapt as soon as possible. From the side, it can be seen that the headquarters intends to focus on training the top eight players. ]

【Fu Qingyang: Let's wait for the results from the headquarters. If we throw them into the dungeon, Yuanshi may be able to fight for the championship. However, you also saw how Zhao Chenghuang performed today. With just that one move, your chance of winning against him will drop to less than 30%. @Yuanshi Tianzun】【Yuanshi Tianzun: Yes! 】

If I switch to a dungeon, the external factors will improve, which will indeed increase my chances of winning, but a master like Zhao Chenghuang is not a dungeon novice, and both he and I are night wanderers, so factors that are disadvantageous to him will definitely be disadvantageous to me, so it's still difficult to deal with...

But for the sake of Hou Tu Boots, I still can't give up.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to talk about these unpleasant things, so he chatted with Lingjun privately:

"I want to ask a question. There is an aunt who suddenly ignored me. You have experience in dealing with women. Please analyze it for me." Lingjun: "???"

Lingjun: "Xing, boy, you have a strong taste." Zhang Yuanqing: "That aunt has a good figure and a pretty face." Lingjun: "Okay, boy, you have a future."

Yuanshi Tianzun: "It's like this, she recently encountered a little danger, it should be a small danger, and she deliberately told me about it. I'm

I realized it. With her personality, if there is real danger, she will ask for help directly. If it is a small matter, she is too lazy to say it. So she must have told me deliberately. "

Lingjun: "So how did you answer her?"

Yuanshi Tianzun: "If you have any needs, just ask. Then she sent me a smiling emoticon and ignored me." Lingjun: "Tell me about her personality and I will analyze it for you."

Zhang Yuanqing then told Lingjun about Xiaoyuan's personality in great detail.

After hearing this, Lingjun felt like a champion player watching a bronze rookie's blind operation, and he sent a series of "sweating" emojis.

"This kind of woman has a strong psychological defense and is cold to everyone, but in fact, she longs for warmth, so she values ​​her companions very much. As for some suitors, she will subconsciously reject and distance herself from them, regardless of whether they are good or bad, and eliminate all possibilities."

"To deal with this kind of woman, you must first cling to her, but be careful not to make her feel helpless but not disgusted. Then, you must understand her, observe her, find her soft spot, and strike quickly to kill her with one blow, just like you did with the pawn crossing the river today."

Yuanshi Tianzun: "Your analogy makes me feel weird, then what?"

Lingjun: "Then she will develop a liking for you, observe you, test you, and secretly test you with small things, but she will never say it openly, and she is very hypocritical. At this time, if you do something wrong or make a mistake in your response, she will quickly retreat."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized what was going on and quickly sent a message: "How can we remedy this?"

Lingjun: "Didn't she tell you not to go? You should do the opposite. It's best to go quietly. On the one hand, it shows that you respect her choice, and on the other hand, it shows that you care about her. You must always remember that this kind of woman is very hypocritical, but she longs for warmth and care, so "clinging" is definitely for them. If you say no, you really think that you don't want it, then you are stupid."

"That makes sense."

Zhang Yuanqing sent a bunch of emojis saying "Big brother, accept my worship". He then sent another message asking:

"My relationship with a sister has been stuck for a long time. She is very tolerant of me and very close to me, but I always feel like there is something missing. We are more than friends but less than lovers."

Lingjun: "You are talking about Guan Ya, right?"

Zhang Yuanqing posted an emoticon package that read "Boss, please accept my worship" to hide his inner embarrassment.

Lingjun: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. When I was young, I longed to have two confidantes, one named Lin Daiyu and the other named Baojie. I also wanted to have a bed-warming maid like Qingwen by my side, and it would be best if there was a young woman named Qin Keqing to teach me how to grow up. Little boys always have these thoughts. Any little boy in his early twenties who says he doesn't admire Ai is just bragging."

In Lingjun's opinion, Yuanshi Tianzun is a typical straight man who likes many beautiful women but has never had a girlfriend.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun is very capable and good at socializing, interpersonal communication and having a girlfriend are not the same thing. The latter requires experience, and having no experience means having no experience.

A social expert and a love veteran are two different concepts.

Ling Jun: "But to be honest, I don't recommend you to pursue Guan Ya. She is a scout. If you change your mind and cheat on her, you can't hide it from her sharp eyes. The key is that you can't beat her. When the relationship breaks down, you will be abused."

Yuanshi Tianzun: “….”

Lingjun: "But since you asked, I will definitely teach you. Guan Ya comes from a spiritual family, and her vision is very high. She doesn't look down on ordinary people. You have no problem in this regard, Yuanshi Tianzun's reputation is enough."

"She has a bit of a weird personality. When she talks dirty, even I blush and feel embarrassed, but you have no problem with that. This is an important factor in your winning her favor. According to my analysis, there are three reasons why your relationship with her has reached a bottleneck."

"First, you two haven't known each other for long. A woman from her family wouldn't confirm a romantic relationship with a man in such a short time.

"Second, it's still because of her family. Although she is rebellious, she knows her status. The family will definitely intervene in the selection of a son-in-law. She may think that you are not suitable to meet the parents yet, so she keeps her distance from you."

"Third, you still lack a catalyst, such as a romantic confession, a life-and-death crisis, or a drunken orgy."

"I see, I see..." Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. Lingjun: "Anything else? If not, I'm going to eat."

And, there is also the Palace Master of Stopping Killing... Yuanshi Tianzun: "That's all, thanks big brother." Zhang Yuanqing clicked on Lingjun's avatar and changed his note to: Life mentor!

Fujiawan Villa.

In the restaurant, Fu Qingyang was enjoying a sumptuous dinner with a knife and fork in hand. He looked across the table at Lingjun, who was holding a mobile phone with a smile on his face.

He frowned and said calmly:

"Are you dating a new girlfriend? No, your expression is full of satisfaction, pride, and some dark smugness. Your girlfriend shouldn't let your expression be so complicated."

Lingjun put down his phone and said, "Of course I am proud and satisfied that my ideas and academic achievements can be carried forward." He forked a piece of barbecue and chewed it in his mouth, saying, "It was Yuanshi Tianzun who sent me a message asking me for something."

Fu Qingyang's expression was indifferent: "Please teach me how to pick up girls?"

"No!" Lingjun said with a serious expression: "Please teach me how to be your cousin's husband."

After dinner, Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed, looking through the official forum posts, chatting with Guan Ya from time to time, and occasionally paying attention to Xie Lingxi and the Queen.

What I was thinking about was what Fu Qingyang said before the meal.

If the headquarters really adjusts the competition mode, it will not only be a competition of force, but also have to take into account environmental factors, the players' personalities, and so on.

The next goal is very clear, to collect the personalities and information of the top eight players, and to make a profile of their behavior logic. "Guan Ya and Shi Chang are scouts, ask them for help tomorrow to summarize a character analysis of the top eight players."

After making up his mind, he turned off his phone and huddled in the air-conditioned quilt. Then the piercing ring of his phone rang.

The caller is Fu Qingyang.

"Hello, Centurion?" Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone.

"Come to Fujia Bay, Elder Dog wants to see you." Fu Qingyang's voice was as cold as frost in December. "Elder Dog wants to see me?" Zhang Yuanqing asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

With the status and position of an elder, he would not meet people casually. Besides, if there was something, why didn't he tell about the competition in the daytime? "I'll take you to see the Demon Eye King!" Fu Qingyang said.
