God Level Summoner Chapter 199-200

Chapter 199 – Second Round of the Regular Season

That evening, all players returned from holiday and the Miracle Gossip Group was extraordinarily lively. Li Cangyu opened the group and the number of unread messages exceeded 300.

The reason was because Tan s.h.i.tian sent another story, which was more obvious. There was a black cat standing on the left, a big tiger standing on the right and these words above their heads, "You know."

The fans were in a daze. [This is the first time a tiger has appeared in Captain Tan's posts!] [Captain Tan, aren't you raising a dog? Why is it a tiger?] [Captain Tan, I don't understand. Please explain!] [G.o.d Ten Days, I think you can change to being a cartoonist after your retire. Your brain is so strange and your drawings are realistic. You will definitely be popular.]

The fans on Weibo were confused but the players who partic.i.p.ated in the Carnival were clear.

Cheng Wei posted a screenshot of the drawing into the group and said: [The meaning of this is that Cat G.o.d commanded, "Xuefeng, you know." Tan s.h.i.tian is so fast. I only described it to him yet he draw a cartoon about it!]

Zhang Shaohui came forward to testify. [I also heard it. 'Xuefeng, you know.' But I didn't understand at the time.]

Cheng Wei: [Captain Ling, did you really know? We didn't know. @Undead Demon]

Zhang Shaohui: [Nonsense. If Captain Ling didn't understand then how could he use the big move? @Undead Demon]

The group of people spoke in the group for this purpose. The protagonist of the event, Ling Xuefeng finally appeared. [This tiger is drawn well.] He calmly commented on Tan s.h.i.tian's drawing.

Tan s.h.i.tian replied: [Thank you for the compliment!]

Li Cangyu also came out: [You didn't understand?]

Cheng Wei and Zhang Shaohui lined up +1.

Li Cangyu: [Xuefeng is still the smartest, right? @Undead Demon]

This sentence made many players feel dazed. The Miracle League had been going on for many years yet who would dare call Captain Ling by just Xuefeng? Li Cangyu was too bold to direct the joke at Ling Xuefeng.

The surprising thing was that the stoic Ling Xuefeng replied with a smiley expression.

Everyone was blinded by the smiley expression. They knew that whenever Captain Ling chatted with someone on Q, he would reply concisely within 10 words and never used any emojis.

What was going on today?

Bai Xuan saw this and his previous conjecture was confirmed. The relationship between Ling Cat wasn't simple. They treated each other too well to be simple friends. However, the other Miracle players didn't know much about Cat G.o.d and didn't think in that direction.

Then Cheng Wei mindlessly typed: [Right, previously Cat G.o.d wrote on Weibo that he already has a lover. Cat G.o.d, I suddenly feel a bit of doubt towards you and Captain Ling!]

Cheng Wei was bold and never hid what he was thinking. He directly spoke these words and the group suddenly feel silent. Ling Xuefeng was the oldest in the current Miracle League and most of the younger generations were awed by him. They certainly wouldn't dare to joke with him.

Li Cangyu saw this and wanted to put his hand through the computer to hit this idiot. This fool didn't usually see anything so how could he hit the main point when speaking nonsense?

Everyone stayed silent, staring at the computer screen as they waited to see how the two people involved would explain.

Ling Xuefeng typed very calmly: [If I said yes, would you believe it?]

Li Cangyu immediately replied: [Yes Xiao Wei, how are you so smart. [Touches Head].]

Cheng Wei, "…"

The result was that n.o.body believed it.

This method was really effective. The people who originally suspected the two protagonists now felt that they were smearing the innocent friendship. Cheng Wei even felt embarra.s.sed. [I'm sorry! Captain Ling, Cat G.o.d, I just spoke nonsense.]

Ling Xuefeng: [It doesn't matter!]

Li Cangyu couldn't help laughing. This person was really stupid.

Li Cangyu stopped laughing and sent Ling Xuefeng a private message: [We have to keep a low profile. It seems that we are seen by some people.]

[Yes.] Ling Xuefeng paused before sending another message. [Do you mind?]

Li Cangyu naturally didn't mind. It wasn't a big deal if they were discovered. They were doing their work right, being captains and playing their own game. Then in their free time, they talked about love. It didn't affect others so why did it matter if they were together?

However, it wouldn't be good to announce it now when considering the team members and fans. After all, the Canglan team's foundation in the Miracle League was still unstable and there were many matches to play.  Li Cangyu didn't want to deal with the reporters' speculations about his private life before he head to.

[Of course I don't mind if the two of us reveal our relationship.] Li Cangyu smiled. [Still, it will affect the emotions of the other players in the team if it is announced. Let's find a suitable opportunity to talk about it later.]

[Actually, I don't care if you want to keep it from everyone. We know each other's hearts. The opinions of unrelated people don't matter.] Ling Xuefeng stated calmly.

Both of them were very committed and the relationship between them wouldn't change.

Still, it was like Li Cangyu said. They were captains and had to consider their teams. At present, the second round of the regular season was imminent and everyone would be trying their best to compete for a place in the playoffs. Emotional things would naturally be postponed.

***

This evening, many professional players appeared in the group because tomorrow, everyone would enter the intense training stage and there was no time to relax.

Many people went to play together and the group was lively until it quietened down around midnight.

The next morning, Li Cangyu summoned the players of the Canglan team for a meeting. The schedule for the second round was the opposite of the first round. In other words, it would be Wind Colour, Cheetah, Pure Cleansing, Ghost Spirits, Red Fox, Flying Feathers and Time.

After a week of vacation, their first opponent was the strong Wind Colour. The Canglan members were exuberant and seemed to be immersed in the joy of the last 2:1 victory.

However, Li Cangyu was very certain. It was impossible for Ling Xuefeng to give points away to Canglan. A situation where Wind Colour lost twice in a row to the same team had never been seen in the history of the league.

In this match, Li Cangyu still chose three arena games. The difference with the previous match was that the newcomer Lin Ke played very well and Qin Mo was more stable. Canglan couldn't gain an advantage in the early stages, until they managed to score one point in the last game.

The audience didn't see the confrontation between Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu because Ling Xuefeng only played in the first game and missed Li Cangyu. He didn't play at all in the next two games.

Wind Colour could still be so strong despite Captain Ling not playing. This made a lot of viewers think that Wind Colour was worthy of being the winning candidates for this season.

It was just that the fans of both sides had some complicated emotions. After all, they saw the wonderful cooperation between the two captains during the Carnival. In the blink of an eye, they once again faced each other on the field. Wind Colour wasn't polite and won 2:1…

Sure enough, the hearts of professional players were really strong. Opponents and friends could be freely interchanged!

The loss in the first game caused the Canglan team's ranking to fall again. They moved back the score by winning against Cheetah and Pure Cleansing, only to lose to Ghost Spirits. The ranking of Canglan was always sixth and they couldn't enter the top four.

Many fans were worried. There were few matches left in the second round and the playoffs would be in danger if it continued like this.

The four teenagers were also anxious but Li Cangyu was very calm. He called them to the meeting room and patiently said, "I have lost 10 matches in a row and wasn't as depressed as you. Before each match, forget about the results in the past and only remember the lessons. There is no need to worry about points and rankings. Play every match with your heart. Even if we can't make it to the playoffs, let's do our best."

The four teenagers were moved when they heard these words and Li Xiaojiang was even crying. Everyone knew Cat G.o.d's hard work and that he hadn't won awards for many years. If they couldn't win the prize this time, how could they stay in Canglan? How could they fail Cat G.o.d's training?

The newcomers weren't bad but the pressure recently had been too great and they were indeed affected by the outside world. They felt uneasy every time they saw the rankings.

Li Cangyu patted them on the shoulder and said, "There are three matches left. Don't leave any regrets for yourself."

***

The second round of the regular season reached its penultimate stage. The desperate Canglan had a home match against Red Fox. This pure women's team once dealt a big hit to Li Cangyu and now they met again. Li Cangyu naturally wouldn't be confused by their tactics like the first time.

The initiative was his. It was Canglan's home match and he had the choice of map and game mode.

Li Cangyu didn't hesitate to choose three arena games.

Some netizens commented: [This is deliberately bullying Red Fox. Everyone knows that Red Fox isn't good in the arena.]

However, some people sensibly knew that Cat G.o.d was only doing this because if Canglan lost to Red Fox, they would completely miss the playoffs.

The Canglan fans were relieved because this match was played quite beautifully!

Li Cangyu and Zhang Jueming were steadily in the guard position for three consecutive games and won 3:0 against Red Fox!

On the same day in Shanghai, Wind Colour won 3:0 against Pure Cleansing.

It was like coincidence or destiny. Canglan's points continuously surpa.s.sed Red Fox and Pure Cleansing and they finally squeezed into the top four!

However, Li Cangyu couldn't relax. Next, they would have to face the strong teams of Flying Feathers and Time.

Chapter 200 – Final Game of the Regular Season (1)

The compet.i.tion between teams in the Miracle League became particularly fierce. There were only two weeks left in the second round. In other words, everyone had two last chances to gain a ticket to the playoffs.

The Wind Colour was firmly ranked first and had already confirmed their place in the playoffs. To the surprise of many reporters, the performance of the Ghost Spirits team was extremely good. The Lou Zhang combination showed increased understanding and they a.s.sa.s.sinated many strong teams. They could actually reach the second place in the rankings.

The third was Time and Canglan was fourth.

Flying Feathers was temporarily ranked fifth but they were only one point behind Canglan. As long as their performance in the next match was excellent, they would surpa.s.s Canglan.

In addition, the sixth place Red Fox also had the possibility of competing for the playoffs. Their next opponent was Cheetah. If they get win with a big score of 3:0 then they would have an opportunity to compete for the playoffs.

***

On the leaderboard, the third to sixth places weren't fixed and the atmosphere became tenser.

In the past few days, the members of Canglan had been in closed door practice, especially the four newcomers. Li Cangyu played with them one by one, pointing out their shortcomings in the game. Fortunately, the four little ones were energetic and carefully listened to Li Cangyu's guidance.

In a blink of an eye, a week pa.s.sed and the second last week of the regular season kicked off.

Many reporters made predictions before the match. There were a few key dramas to watch this week. There was the match between the fourth ranked Canglan and fifth ranked Flying Feathers, a match between the first ranked Wind Colour and third ranked Time and the match between the sixth place Red Fox and the Cheetah team. This was the last chance for the Red Fox team to enter the playoffs.

Before the matches began, fans of the teams sent thousands of cheering messages on the Internet.

In the Canglan Support group, many fans were praying that Old Cat and Vice-Captain Bai would have good luck this year and that they didn't lose in the crucial matches.

The owner Shasha sent a private letter to Li Cangyu, saying: [Cat G.o.d, we will support Canglan no matter what. Don't feel psychological pressure and prepare well for the next match!]

The short message made Li Cangyu feel moved. He responded with a smiley expression. [Rest a.s.sured, we will.]

***

In the first round of the regular season, Canglan used the advantage of the home team to pick three arena games and win over Flying Feathers. Now that it was an away game, Li Cangyu couldn't use this extreme method. Therefore, many reporters weren't optimistic about this match.

Flying Feathers home game definitely wouldn't be as good and Su Guangmo wasn't likely to be polite to Canglan.

As the reporters expected, Su Guangmo directly chose three team battles!

Captain Su had prepared for a team battle for one week, researching a variety of maps and tactics. The result was that Cat G.o.d chose three arena games and he almost vomited out blood. Now that it was Flying Feathers' home match, he directly selected the team battles that they were most powerful in.

The difference was that Li Cangyu already expected this.

He had long knew that Su Guangmo would use this method and Canglan had been preparing all week for the team battle. Therefore, Li Cangyu was very calm when he saw the screen.

The map chosen by Su Guangmo was a city square. This was the map that Flying Feathers often used during team battles and the stability was the highest.

Due to the characteristics of the Flying Feathers' melee members, they were destined not to be too good at complicated maps. The wider the field of vision and the more s.p.a.cious the map, the more Yu Pingsheng's giant axe could wave around and cause the most powerful damage.

In the most crucial part of the regular season, the home choice of picking a stable map was the most sensible approach. It was easy to be overturned by the other side so Su Guangmo definitely wouldn't give Canglan a chance.

This way, it would be more difficult for the opponents to fight. It was because the open map made it easy for Yu Pingsheng to divide the battlefield and control Li Cangyu's pets. Then Su Guangmo would intercept him.

The Flying Feathers team played in a remarkable manner. Canglan's remote members were pursued by the Su Yu combination and Flying Feathers relied on the home advantage to win two games in a row!

The score was 2:0!

The last game was particularly important and the Flying Feathers were frantically cheering. The venue was filled with excited shouts and the enthusiasm of the fans was obvious even from the soundproof rooms.

The Canglan fans watching in front of the TV were a bit nervous and many people had wet eyes. Some fans with poor psychological quality were already crying. If this game was lost, Canglan's season was over. It would be really dangerous.

In the third game, the Canglan team changed strategies. Li Cangyu didn't play and let Zhang Jueming be the commander. To everyone's surprise, Old Zhang was very powerful today and actually dragged out the team battle for a full 25 minutes. Finally, they relied on a wave of perfect cooperation to defeat the Flying Feathers team at home!

2:1!

This score made many Canglan fans feel more comfortable. However, Canglan didn't win and it would certainly have an adverse effect on the rankings.

In the post-match interview, a reporter stood up and asked Li Cangyu for the reason behind the change in commanders. Li Cangyu replied calmly, "The Su Yu combination is really strong. I was targeted by them and couldn't do anything on this map. I decided to make a bold attempt and changed to Old Zhang. The facts proved that he is very reliable."

"Today, Flying Feathers won 2:1 and Canglan's ranking fell. Canglan was originally ranked fourth and now you are fifth. Cat G.o.d, aren't you feeling a bit frantic about this? Canglan only has one match left!"

Li Cangyu smiled. "It is useless for me to be anxious. Moreover, your words aren't necessarily correct. Canglan might've lost 1:2 to Flying Feathers but we aren't necessarily ranked fifth."

The reporter was surprised and took out the scoreboard. "Canglan was originally in front of Flying Feathers. Now that you lost this game, won't you be behind Flying Feathers?"

Li Cangyu explained, "The other matches aren't over yet. The standings might change. Of course, we still have a chance to compete and I will definitely grasp it."

He was talking about the matches between Wind Colour and Time and Red Fox and Cheetah in the afternoon.

The reporters finally reacted. If anyone lost 3:0 then a lot of points would be deducted! In other words, if Time lost 3:0 then they might fall out of the top four.

***

That evening, the rankings really shuffled. It was because Wind Colour actually played 3:0 against Time at home!

This score made many Time fans want to cry.

Ling Xuefeng arranged the tactics and selected a map with many obstacles to personally stare at Tan s.h.i.tian. Then he sent Qin Mo around with his spiders and snakes to repeatedly interfere with Cheng Wei's casting. He completely broke up the Tan Cheng combination.

The tactics of the Time team meant it was very easy for them to be targeted. Tan s.h.i.tian was the strongest mobile fort in the league but he was very fragile. Once he was tangled up with Ling Xuefeng, only half of Time's firepower could be played. Today's Time had bad luck. Their chances of a counterattack were blocked by obstacles and they didn't get even one point.

They lost 0:3 and had many points deducted!

The Red Fox team also didn't score many points from Cheetah, resulting in Red Fox failing to qualify for the playoffs.

The few female players didn't shed tears. Liu Xiang stated very calmly,  "There are many excellent teams in the Miracle League. We did our best to get this far and will work hard again next season."

Yang Muzi said, "Red Fox might be eliminated but we will still play well in the next game. Audience members who like the Red Fox team, please continue to pay attention to us. Thank you for the support."

The great performance by the female team was also acknowledged by the reporters. They lost the season but they didn't lose their ambition. They were female players but they were also proud!

***

This week's matches finished and the top five in the rankings became Wind Colour, Ghost Spirits, Flying Feathers, Canglan and Time.

Originally, the points of two or three teams were close. Time had a huge lost and directly fell from the top four. Cheng Wei was depressed and wished to climb over to Ling Xuefeng and bite him.

Tan s.h.i.tian looked relaxed and wrapped an arm around Cheng Wei's shoulder. "Don't be discouraged. There is still the next match. If we kill your idol then we will enter the playoffs. Are you confident in killing your idol?"

Cheng Wei didn't like the joke at all. He was a bit stupid but he knew exactly how hard it was to play against Cat G.o.d.

In fact, Tan s.h.i.tian also knew the difficulty of this match. It was impossible for Li Cangyu to give Time any points at home.

Looking back at today's match, the four newcomers of Canglan were now very stable and even cooperated many times. They didn't rely on Li Cangyu like they did in the beginning.

The fastest one to grow was Xiao Han. It was probably because he was abused by Qin Mo and became determined to surpa.s.s Qin Mo. He recently worked very hard and his talent wasn't bad so he found a way to break through his bottleneck.

Zhuo Hang's progress was also fast. He admitted his hand speed wasn't as good as Chen Anran but he found a way to combine his fastest hand speed with an effective attack to achieve the best results.

Li Xiaojiang and Gu Siming also found their own style with the help of Li Cangyu. Xiaojiang became more confident. Gu Siming was still impulsive but at least he wouldn't be hot-blooded and run forward, leaving his teammates behind. He was gradually settling down as the front row of Canglan.

The Canglan team won and lost in the second round but everyone reached a consensus that the overall strength of the Canglan team was steadily improving under Cat G.o.d.

***

In the blink of an eye, the last weekend of the Miracle League's seventh season started. Red Fox, Pure Cleansing and Cheetah were destined to be out while Wind Colour and Ghost Spirits were certain to advance. The remaining teams of Flying Feathers, Canglan and Time were all uncertain.

Flying Feather's opponent was Ghost Spirits and they had to go to Shenzhen to fight. It wouldn't be easy to win points.

Time's away match with Canglan was also the focus of attention.

These two matches would determine the finalists in the playoffs. The faces of the players were calm but many of them were inwardly tense.

Canglan's four teenagers were very nervous. They always felt that they would drag down the team if they played badly. Meanwhile, the captain Li Cangyu was drinking team in the waiting room in a relaxed manner.

Xiao Han saw him drinking the team and couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't you nervous?"

Li Cangyu laughed. "If being nervous will let me achieve victory then I must be nervous seven or eight times. In fact, nervousness will only have a negative impact on the outcome. Why should I be nervous?"

Xiao Han was stunned. He was a bit dizzy by the complex Chinese and scratched his head as he thought about the meaning of this sentence.

Bai Xuan came over to sit next to Li Cangyu and whispered, "For so many years, you couldn't get into the playoffs or were eliminated in the first round. It felt like both of us are cursed. You really won't mind if you can't get the prize this year?"

Li Cangyu patted his old partner on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't think too much about it and just play well. It will naturally be a good thing if we can make it into the playoffs. If we can't enter then it might be the last match of our career. Why not perform well and enjoy it?"

Bai Xuan was startled and couldn't help admiring Li Cangyu's mindset.

Xie Shurong was sitting behind them and overhead it. He couldn't help smiling as he said, "Cat G.o.d is right. Enjoy this game. It is the end of the seventh season and let's show the audience members how handsome our players are."

Everyone, “…”

The four teenagers turned to look at him. Bai Xuan made a  disgusted expression of 'I don't know him' and Old Zhang laughed happily. Li Cangyu looked at Xie Shurong with appreciation.

His words actually relaxed the atmosphere.

At this moment, his phone lit up due to a text message from Ling Xuefeng. "Come on, I am waiting for you in the playoffs."

Li Cangyu couldn't help smiling. He put away his mobile phone and stood up. "Come, treat this as your last match and enjoy it!"

They had to fight back because it was really their last chance.
