He pretended to carelessly lose some health, then rallied and defeated his opponent in one fell swoop. Thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing really suited Li Rui's personality. This guy must have done it on purpose.

Li Rui's teammates all thought so. They couldn't imagine that Li Rui, who was usually so arrogant and wouldn't put such an opponent in his eyes at all, would actually be so nervous that his brain went blank. He didn't deliberately lose health; he didn't even have such a plan. As soon as the 3, 2, 1 countdown for the match started, he was so nervous that he forgot everything.

His teammates, who had completely misunderstood him, didn't worry about Li Rui. They patiently waited for him to show his power. On the field, Han Yanrou's new wave of attacks came again.

This time, Li Rui wasn't in a daze. He hurriedly operated to respond, but his fingers were so stiff and unresponsive, and the scene was extremely unsightly. If he was completely defeated, he would be hit by Tang Rou with another set of clean combos. If they were evenly matched, there would be constant probing and exchange of skills. But now, Li Rui could respond, but he couldn't respond well, and the result was a scene of awkwardness and embarrassment.

"Is this guy still pretending?" Li Rui's teammates were discussing via messages.

"He's pretending quite convincingly."

"Hehe, right? He looks like he's barely managing."

"When he bursts out later, the other side will definitely be shocked, right?"

"It's a pity we can't see their expressions!"

"Yeah, too bad. But Li Rui is bad enough."

"Yeah, too bad, from heaven to hell!"

The two friends were chatting while watching Li Rui's "pretended" embarrassment on the field.

"It's about time to strike, right?" One of them said.

"Yeah, about time."

"Hehe..." They sent each other drooling emojis, but after a few more moves, the Demon Fighter's health dropped again.

"He's still not striking; this guy can really hold his breath!"

"He wants to make a complete comeback! He really has guts!"

"Yeah, too confident, tsk tsk!"

The two repeatedly sighed with emotion, and then continued to watch the Demon Fighter's health decrease, and decrease again...

"He's in the red; he's definitely going to strike. This guy actually waited until he was in the red, ruthless enough," one said.

"Indeed, I can't help but worry about him," the other said.

Half a minute later...

"I say, we really should be worried about him..."

"What's wrong with this guy? Something's not right!"

Even after turning red, the two still didn't see Li Rui's explosion. All they saw was struggle, and the Demon Fighter's health bar was continuously lowered. The two stopped watching the match and turned to look at Li Rui. Li Rui's face was pale. Although the weather in late August was still somewhat hot, the high-powered air conditioners in the studio were always running, and there was a cold breeze. But Li Rui's head was covered in fine beads of sweat. The wind was cold, and his sweat was cold. Finally, the two big words "Glory" flashed on the screen, and Li Rui was staring blankly with a paralyzed expression. Everyone was looking at each other in dismay.

Losing was one thing! But what kind of loss was this? This was too embarrassing, wasn't it? What difference was there between this and a high-level player being bullied?

The people on Jia Shi's side were shocked! But the other spectators didn't realize that this Demon Fighter was a hidden ace. This match was no different from the ones they had been watching these days. In front of Han Yanrou, players were always being abused like this. Speaking of which, this Demon Fighter was not bad! He actually lasted so long; with practice, he should have a future, right?

An unfavorable start!

Chen Yehui also sighed. But because Li Rui lost, his mood wasn't too bad. He didn't offer any comfort, and glanced at him with disdain. Let you keep pretending!

"Need to change players?" At this moment, Han Yanrou asked in the arena room.

According to standard match regulations, three players would participate in a singles match, one person per match. After Han Yanrou finished, she would naturally have to be replaced. However, those who came to challenge them usually weren't a team, nor did they play according to this format. Those who came alone were all dealt with by Tang Rou alone. Playing only one match at a time was a bit unsatisfying for Tang Rou. So, even though Chen Guo said that it was possible that a group of people were coming to play according to the format, she still asked as usual.

As a result, at this moment, Li Rui suddenly jumped up in the Jia Shi studio and rushed to Qiu Fei, shouting, "Lend me your account card for a moment."

"Huh?" Qiu Fei was puzzled. He had already swiped his card and entered the game, and was watching the match at this time! Li Rui suddenly ran over to ask for his account card, and Qiu Fei didn't understand for a moment. But Chen Yehui, who had been in the training camp and was now in charge of the online game guild, was a figure who connected the online game circle and the professional circle, and he could see through Li Rui's thoughts at this moment.

This guy definitely wanted to use this attention-grabbing match to show off, but he didn't expect to lose so badly. But he wasn't giving up and still wanted to seize this opportunity. However, if he used that account to play again, he had already lost one match. Even if he won, it wouldn't look good. Fortunately, this was online, and no one knew who was behind the Demon Fighter. This guy just wanted to change characters, and then if he won, he could just talk about the victory.

"Lend me another match," Li Rui didn't explain to Qiu Fei, but just made this request.

Qiu Fei didn't know if he had thought of these things, but after looking at him again, he didn't give him the account card, but just got up and made way for him.

"Thank you," Li Rui said, impatiently sitting down, and shouted towards Chen Yehui, "I'll play another match." Without waiting for Chen Yehui's response, he had already sent Qiu Fei's newly changed character into the arena.

"No need to change players, come on!" Words popped up above the new character's head.

"These people, didn't they say they were going to follow the format?" Chen Guo was also confused at this moment.

"It doesn't matter," Tang Rou said.

"You must be happy, right? Of course it doesn't matter," Chen Guo said helplessly.

Tang Rou smiled and entered the match without any hesitation.

"Don't be careless. That guy just now was actually quite strong, he just didn't play well," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh? Really?" Chen Guo didn't see it at all.

"Yeah, his intentions were evident, but he played very poorly," Ye Xiu said.

"What's going on?" Chen Guo asked.

"In professional terms, this situation is called poor form," Ye Xiu said.

"..." Chen Guo was speechless. Poor form was really an all-purpose explanation, and all the trivial reasons could be summed up in one sentence: "Poor form," and there was nothing wrong with that.

"Okay," Tang Rou replied to Ye Xiu, but she didn't have any habit of underestimating her enemies. Looking at the new opponent in front of her, Jing Ye Si, another Battle Mage.

A new round began. After experiencing the nervousness of the previous battle, Li Rui's mentality had finally adjusted. He kept taking deep breaths, watching the 3, 2, 1 countdown end, and immediately attacked.

This was an even more important battle that he couldn't afford to lose. However, this time Li Rui's mentality was adjusted, and he didn't panic again. Instead, he tried his best to win. So, as soon as it started, he actively launched an attack. The two Battle Mages instantly collided in the center of the arena, and the two battle lances quickly entangled together, with occasional hoarse collision sounds. Parrying attacks was an operation that players especially liked to watch. The collision of weapons could make the match more intense.

This battle was a true match between equals.

The onlookers watched and their emotions gradually rose. This was the scene they had been waiting for for a long time! Although it seemed that they were at most evenly matched at the moment, they had always been abused by Han Yanrou. Now, a master who could fight had finally emerged, which was enough to excite everyone.

The face-slapping party that had been silent for a long time began to become active. A large number of cheers and messages began to flood the screen, which the two participants could see. Li Rui saw this and realized that this match was really attracting attention. His normal performance had successfully aroused everyone's expectations! He must win, he must win this match. He would become a hero to these people. He wouldn't have to do anything, and they would spread his winning match everywhere. When he announced his identity at that time, he would be the center of attention. Maybe fans would block the club's entrance and ask Jia Shi to sign him as a formal player.

However, signing with Jia Shi didn't seem very good! Not only was he only playing in the Challenger League this season, but also Yi Ye Zhi Qiu was occupied by Sun Xiang, so he had no chance at all! Speaking of age, he was even older than Sun Xiang!

But if he didn't go to Jia Shi, it seemed that the victory in this match wouldn't attract the attention of other teams. Slapping Xing Xin's face was only a hero in the eyes of Jia Shi fans. Other fans were just watching the excitement. He would become a celebrity, but it was hard to say whether his performance would be favored by any team!

Or, which team would sign a popular player like him to attract attention to the team? Hmm... this wasn't impossible, but the team that would do this probably wouldn't be a big team, at most a small or medium team, maybe even one of the two new teams that joined this year...

Among the new teams that joined this year, the one called Yi Zhan seemed to be particularly rich. Teams with money always had a particularly good future, right? And the conditions they could offer me would definitely be very generous. This player didn't seem bad...

Li Rui thought too much, and suddenly he realized that this time, there was really a lot of content in his brain, so much that he seemed to see these pictures in front of him. Yes, he saw these pictures, but he ignored the match screen that should have been in front of him.

Li Rui was shocked that he had actually been distracted! Was he just operating instinctively for so long? When Li Rui came back to his senses and looked at the arena again, he found that he was floating in the air again.

But this time, Li Rui was fortunate that his brain wasn't blank, and he quickly rescued the situation of being floated in the air. But when the two big words "Glory" finally flashed out, he was in a daze on his seat again.

Jing Ye Si, the character he had asked Qiu Fei for, fell to the ground...
