"Hey, hey, you're completely ignoring us!" Ye Xiu said to Zhang Xinjie with considerable dissatisfaction.

"This is Tyranny," Zhang Xinjie said.

This is Tyranny.

The others were stunned, but quickly understood Zhang Xinjie's meaning. Even he probably didn't really like playing in this exhibition match, but this was Tyranny, and this All-Star Weekend was hosted by Tyranny. As Tyranny's players, Zhang Xinjie and Han Wenqing definitely couldn't undermine their own team. They would do their best to make this All-Star Weekend more exciting. Ye Xiu's arrangements, which were only for his own convenience, would naturally not receive their support.

"Sigh, if only I were on Team A…" Ye Xiu sighed. Everyone glared at him. Was his emotional expression a little too direct? Was this guy deliberately trying to tear down Tyranny's stage?

Everyone else had already stopped talking. With the home team's players here, they had to give them some face! But what about Ye Xiu? Would this guy give Tyranny face? It would be good enough if he wasn't deliberately trying to tear down the stage!

Just as he was thinking this, Ye Xiu spoke up again, "In that case, why don't we do something a little more…domineering?"

Everyone continued to stare at him. After hearing what he had to say, each of them revealed a very interesting expression.

"You really are here to tear down the stage," Wang Jiexi said.

"Deliberately!" Chu Yunxiu said.

"Isn't that a bit bad?" Yu Feng asked doubtfully.

"Have a little confidence in yourselves! What are you afraid of?" Ye Xiu said.

Afraid?

Looking at the entire Glory circle, these people couldn't possibly be the ones to say they were afraid on this stage, right? Everyone stopped talking and looked at Han Wenqing, looked at Zhang Xinjie. Would they agree to Ye Xiu's plan?

"Let's do it that way!" Tyranny's captain, Han Wenqing, decided extremely straightforwardly.

The All-Star exhibition match didn't have very strict time constraints. Soon, the referees came to the benches of Team A and Team B separately. After confirming that both sides were ready, the All-Star competition began with the loud announcement of the host.

"Next is the first match of the individual competition. Please welcome the players from both sides!" the host shouted, while also looking left and right himself. The teams' arrangements wouldn't be revealed beforehand. The suspense would be kept until the last moment, so even the host could only wait for the results.

From Team A, Lü Bu Yuan. The Judoist player from Team Samsara, Lü Bu Yuan, walked onto the stage, which meant that the four Samsara players selected for the All-Stars were destined not to cooperate in the team competition.

And from Team B? Yang Cong, the captain of Team 301, Yang Cong, who could also be considered an old player, took the lead for Team B.

Lü Bu Yuan's character, Yunshan Luan, became Glory's number one Judoist after Samsara bought Micro Herb's Judoist character, Zhanyi Luanfei, disassembled the equipment, and re-equipped it.

The original number one Judoist character, Zhanyi Luanfei, no longer existed. And what about Li Yihui, the player who originally operated Zhanyi Luanfei? In that summer's exchange transfer, the place he went was none other than Team 301, led by Yang Cong.

While the host introduced this past, people realized that there was such a gimmick hidden in Team B. Yang Cong and Micro Herb's Xu Bin were also former teammates reunited!

Xu Bin was only Yang Cong's deputy in Team 301 back in the day, but after transferring to Micro Herb, relying on the team's influence, his current reputation was actually above Yang Cong's. In the All-Star voting, Yang Cong ranked 24th, barely squeezing in. Xu Bin, on the other hand, was ranked 16th, a very solid position.

Yang Cong, a player from the third season, was already quite old, and could be considered to have entered the twilight of his career. He wouldn't have any more improvements, and his career would probably stay at the 301 stage. But what about Xu Bin, a player from the sixth season? After showing his talent, he entered the powerhouse Micro Herb. What awaited him was obviously a more glorious future.

While sighing and comparing these two, the match on the stage had already begun.

All-Star matches didn't need to be too concerned with victory or defeat. Voice chat was also open on the stage, and it was a joint voice chat for both sides, so even opponents could communicate.

But Lü Bu Yuan and Yang Cong clearly didn't have much interaction. After greeting each other, they started fighting.

Lü Bu Yuan was also a player from the sixth season, and was currently at the peak of his career. Originally overshadowed by Zhou Zekai's personal glory in Samsara, he gained a lot of attention in the year that Samsara won the championship, thanks to his performance as the deciding factor in the finals. From then on, he embarked on his All-Star path.

But currently, his position didn't seem too stable, especially after Sun Xiang joined Samsara with One Autumn Leaf this season. Lü Bu Yuan, a dignified All-Star level player, was actually only considered the fourth most important person in the team.

Back in Blue Rain, Yu Feng chose to go to Hundred Blossoms because he wanted to gain a more important position in the team. What about Lü Bu Yuan? His position seemed even more awkward than Yu Feng's had been. What was he feeling?

He wasn't feeling anything.

"Wasn't feeling anything" meant that he didn't care about things that Yu Feng had once cared a lot about.

He seemed a bit lacking in ambition, but perhaps that was just the personality of a home-grown Samsara player.

Lü Bu Yuan became a professional player in the sixth season. Zhou Zekai, his teammate, was only one year earlier than him, but at that time, the name "Gun King" had already resounded throughout the league. This player, who was silent off the field but had extremely strong explosiveness and performance on the field, quickly led Samsara from a mediocre mid-tier team into the ranks of strong teams.

The name "One-Man Team" was shouted out from that time, and Zhou Zekai's halo began to overshadow the entire team. So the Samsara players, from that time to the present, like Lü Bu Yuan, had become very accustomed to this kind of halo covering them. So now, another Sun Xiang had appeared, pushing Lü Bu Yuan to the fourth most important person…

The fourth most important person—this was what outsiders said. Lü Bu Yuan didn't have this concept in his mind at all. Even in Samsara, there wasn't much of a concept of ranking positions. In the eyes of outsiders, Samsara was Zhou Zekai and others…

Yes, besides Zhou Zekai, everyone else was just "etcetera," even the newly arrived Sun Xiang.

This kind of environment seemed a bit disharmonious. That unique character seemed very easy to be squeezed out by other "etcetera."

But Samsara had walked through it harmoniously. It was because the unique person in Samsara was Zhou Zekai, a person who didn't talk much. No matter how radiant the Gun King was on the field, Zhou Zekai was always such an unostentatious, unarrogant person off the field. No matter how much his position had changed over the years, no matter how many activities the sponsors or the team arranged for him to participate in, his personality remained the same.

As teammates who had been together day and night for so many years, Lü Bu Yuan and the others naturally understood Zhou Zekai's personality better than anyone else. Although he didn't talk much, he was actually a very easy person to get along with. Although he was Glory's number one player, Zhou Zekai was actually a person who didn't like to receive too much attention. Too much attention would only make him nervous and shy. With this kind of personality, he had become a star attracting thousands of eyes, and he had been a star for so many years, yet he was still this kind of personality.

When it came to this point, his Samsara teammates admired him very much.

They often thought that if one day, Zhou Zekai could suddenly say a witty remark or a cold joke in front of the camera, what a shocking scene that would be.

Inside Samsara, that was the kind of harmony. Zhou Zekai was a unique person, and everyone else was "etcetera." That was the outside world's interpretation of Samsara. But what about Samsara themselves? They knew the real Zhou Zekai better, and wouldn't be infatuated with the Gun King on the field. Zhou Zekai never distanced himself from them, so in their minds, Zhou Zekai was also one of the "etcetera." Samsara didn't have anyone special.

So, the fourth most important person in the team?

Lü Bu Yuan really didn't have that awareness.

Wasn't it all the same? He had always felt this way. This was the feeling that Samsara brought to every member.

So when the outside world was interpreting how Sun Xiang's joining Samsara would cause problems for the team, Samsara was calm and peaceful. Their harmonious and equal team environment had a very strong tolerance. Even if a newcomer really disagreed, when they saw that Zhou Zekai was so low-key and silent, who would feel qualified to put on airs in this team?

Samsara was lucky. They had a player like Zhou Zekai, not just because of his strength, but also because of his personality. So they finally built the strongest army in the alliance. Lü Bu Yuan was one of them.

But in this first match, he ended up losing.

On one hand, it was an All-Star match, so Lü Bu Yuan was playing relatively relaxed. But more importantly, it was because Yang Cong was playing too wild!

This assassin, who always walked the path of direct confrontation and took the righteous path, actually used *Sheming Yiji* (Life-Sacrificing Strike) this time. It was a skill that his character, Fengjing Sha (Assassinate the Scenery), had learned and leveled up, but was mostly just to maintain a kind of deterrence. This time, he actually used it.

*Sheming Yiji* (Life-Sacrificing Strike), one strike, one kill!

When an assassin used this strike, it meant that either you die or I die…

"Captain Yang, you're too ruthless…" Lü Bu Yuan said in surprise when *Sheming Yiji* (Life-Sacrificing Strike) pierced into Yunshan Luan's body from the side.

"Hehe…" Yang Cong smiled. This was probably his last performance on the All-Star stage. Let him draw a beautiful conclusion! Assassins, everyone likes to see this kind of one-hit kill, right?

Yunshan Luan fell, and Fengjing Sha (Assassinate the Scenery) won.

The audience was stunned at first, and then cheered.

One-hit kill, everyone loved to see it! As a neutral party, they would also find this strike quite enjoyable. Moreover, the audience at the scene would still be biased. As Tyranny fans, they would undoubtedly support Yang Cong. He was a player from Team B, and Tyranny's Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie were also on Team B.

However, there was also a Ye Xiu on Team B…

"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel!" Some Tyranny fans thought indignantly. Far away on the field, Ye Xiu was wandering around aimlessly.
