Chapter 191 Rematch

At the edge of the crowd, Li Ge frowned slightly.

Most players were pleasantly surprised by Han Xiao's sale of advancement knowledge, but Li Ge was not happy at all. He himself possessed another type of advancement knowledge, which the God Clan Guild had exhausted resources to help him obtain. Li Ge regarded it as his trump card, ready to shine on the field.

However, Han Xiao's actions greatly reduced the value of his trump card, indirectly narrowing the gap between others and himself. Things that everyone had were no longer special.

Li Ge stared at Han Xiao, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.

Several top players were chatting together. Tai Er Zi was boasting proudly, "With a top player like me, leading the Dynasty to the finals is a cinch. Old Wang and those old-timers still need my mercy to carry them!"

Solaris eggplant looked disdainful. "If it weren't for Wang Hou Jiang Xiang, your Dynasty would be nothing."

Tai Er Zi was furious, and the two exchanged a few angry words. At this moment, Li Ge walked over and said with a smile, "It's good to be confident. I hope everyone hones their skills. I need helpers in international competitions to win glory for China."

The others curled their lips. They disliked Li Ge always acting as a leader. Hao Tian said frankly, "I don't like you always representing others. Take care of yourself."

Li Ge's smile faded as he looked at Hao Tian and said lightly, "Then I'll see you on the field. Don't make it too easy for me to win."

A hint of gunpowder permeated between the two, their eyes meeting as if sparks could fly.

Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded next to them, "You idiot, I found you. Come back to the team for training."

Everyone turned to look. A scruffy male player walked over, looking very weathered (sloppy) and unkempt. The ID above his head was "Wang Hou Jiang Xiang". This person was the low-key and mysterious number one professional player in China, the core of the Dynasty, with a resounding nickname:

——The Great Emperor!

"Don't call me an idiot!" Tai Er Zi protested.

"Okay, idiot." Wang Hou Jiang Xiang nodded.

"Ah, bastard!" Tai Er Zi was easily agitated when he saw his team's top player and roared, "Don't be arrogant. One day, I will ride on your back and lord over you!"

Eww!

Everyone looked disgusted.

Wang Hou Jiang Xiang looked half-asleep, gave an "oh," grabbed Tai Er Zi's collar and dragged him away, without even greeting the others. He went his own way. His style was not very sociable, but in Li Ge's eyes, this was arrogance.

Watching Wang Hou Jiang Xiang's back, Li Ge's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly in his heart. He coveted Wang Hou Jiang Xiang's top spot. Only by obtaining first place could his career go further.

"This league, I can't afford to lose."

The others exchanged glances, and they all saw determination in each other's eyes.

...

After three consecutive days of sales, the experience points Han Xiao obtained reached an astronomical figure of 1 billion! Adding the original 500 million, the total experience reserve was as high as 1.5 billion!

"The amount of experience reserves determines how long I don't have to worry about experience in space. My next opportunity for growth is among the stars. With enough experience, I can firmly seize the opportunity to grow rapidly. After level 70, experience costs are getting higher and higher, and I'm a mechanic who consumes a lot of experience. After entering space, there are few opportunities to encounter a large number of players, and there is also a gap period for version updates."

Han Xiao pondered the future direction. The experience seemed like a lot now, but once he entered space, it would run out one day. Since he was destined to sit idly by and eat his fill, he would try his best to pile the mountain higher and thicker.

Bang!

Outside the window, a firework rose from the direction of the arena, exploding into a cluster of flowers.

This sound indicated that the league had officially started!

The boiling cheers soared into the sky, mixed into a huge wave of sound, rolling and spreading.

Overlooking the arena, at this time, the arena had been transformed into a stadium-style structure. In the middle were nine small arenas surrounding a large arena. At the edge of the field was a large screen, and under the screen was the commentary judging panel. The arena was surrounded by spectator seats, which were now full of people, bustling and lively, with cheers and shouts like waves, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the event.

"It's starting." Han Xiao lay on the sofa, changed into a comfortable position, and opened the forum to watch the live broadcast.

The number of people watching the broadcast like him was in the tens of millions!

The beautiful female host "Hong Luan Niao" (Red Bird) stood on the highest arena with a professional smile, giving an opening speech. Her clear and pleasant voice echoed in the arena through the amplification equipment: "The first Star Sea Professional League, Hailan Star Division, the preliminary round officially begins!"

"We have 2,759 teams and 104,652 players registered. The team battles will take place in the wild, and the arena is the venue for individual matches. These arenas will be the places where the players compete against each other! A single-elimination system will be used, and opponents will be decided by lottery. The losers will be eliminated, and the winners will enter the next round of the lottery area, until the top thirty-eight teams and the top sixty-two individual players are selected.

"The preliminary round will last for a month in the game. Yes, this will be a long competition, but it will be broadcast live. The audience in front of the screen can freely choose which game's live broadcast room to watch, and our main room will randomly select and play events with outstanding performances."

Hong Luan Niao finished talking about the competition system and the scene to mobilize emotions, and then pointed to the entrance channel.

"Next, we will bring you an opening match for the individual competition. Please welcome the two players!"

In the dark passage, Hao Tian and a player with the ID "Xing Luo Qi Zi" (Stars and Chess Pieces) walked out. At the moment the two appeared, the atmosphere of the arena reached a climax! The audience's enthusiasm burst out!

In order to ensure the atmosphere of the opening match, the two sides were drawn from the registered professional players. Hao Tian and Xing Luo Qi Zi were selected.

The two walked onto the main arena. Hong Luan Niao stood in the middle and introduced, "Everyone is familiar with the one on the right. He is a veteran who has been fighting in the e-sports circle for 9 years. He has repeatedly been among the top five in the Chinese professional masters ranking. He has a brilliant record and a stable and profound style, but he does not lose his domineering appearance. He is Hao Tian, the core player of the Changkong Club!"

"And the one on the left, everyone may be a little unfamiliar with. He is a senior in the e-sports circle. He used to play for the Temple Club. His status back then was the same as Li Ge's current status as the core of the team. He retired five years ago, and now he is making a comeback with the glory of the past and the determination to win. He is Xing Luo Qi Zi, who has re-signed with the Temple Club!"

"Come on!" Cheers erupted from the audience, with people supporting both sides. Xing Luo Qi Zi's fan base was relatively small. He retired five years ago, and his popularity has dissipated almost completely. Xing Luo Qi Zi looked up at the fan base, all old faces from the past. He didn't expect that after five years of retirement, there was still a small group of die-hard fans supporting him. Xing Luo Qi Zi was a little moved and nodded to his fans.

Seeing this, the group of fans shouted even harder, shouting themselves hoarse.

After introducing both sides, Hong Luan Niao first came up to interview Xing Luo Qi Zi and said with a smile, "Welcome back to the professional arena. How do you feel now?"

Xing Luo Qi Zi said with emotion, "I miss it very much. I also remember the years when I worked hard in the professional arena."

"We always remember your brilliant record leading the Temple Club, and that proud figure." Hong Luan Niao complimented politely, and then asked, "This is the first competition held by *Galaxy*, can you talk about how familiar you are with this game?"

"My condition is very good." Xing Luo Qi Zi chuckled, "I am confident to compete with any opponent."

Hong Luan Niao chatted a few more words, and Xing Luo Qi Zi answered with ease. He had rich experience in dealing with the host.

Hong Luan Niao's eyes flashed, and she received a request from above to create a topic, so she asked, "I heard that you invested your savings in business after retiring, and the company applied for bankruptcy last year. May I ask if this is the reason for returning to the professional arena."

Xing Luo Qi Zi's face remained unchanged, "Of course not. The professional arena is the place where I made my name. Coming back again, I just want to not forget my original intention. I am looking forward to playing against young players and hope to discover some good seedlings. By the way, I will also give the current young players some experience, which will help them compete in international competitions."

As he said that, he smiled at Hao Tian, ​​with a hint of superiority of a senior. Hao Tian was considered his junior, and the "young players" Xing Luo Qi Zi said naturally included Hao Tian.
