Chapter 1

Reincarnation, Tiny Herb. These are the only two teams in the current league to have won two championships. However, Reincarnation's were consecutive, making them seem stronger than Tiny Herb, who won their two championships with a season in between. Furthermore, Reincarnation is currently on their way to a three-peat, while Tiny Herb? They haven't won anything for two years in a row.

The current Tiny Herb is no longer the same team that won the two championships. Fang Shiqian, hailed as the God of Healing, and Deng Fusheng, a mediocre but diligent and reliable knight, have both left Tiny Herb and Glory.

Tiny Herb is undergoing a rebuild after two championships. People can see clearly that Wang Jiexi, the Magician, Tiny Herb's most important player, is probably entering the countdown to his retirement. Many of the players who joined the league in the third season have already retired, and famous players usually retire slightly later than ordinary players. However, among the famous players of the third season, Zhao Yang, the All-Star player of Team Seaside, just announced his retirement at the end of last season, and Yang Cong, the captain of Team 301, has also given up his core position after Bai Shu joined, obviously preparing for the handover.

However, Wang Jiexi is still Tiny Herb's main player, the absolute core, the most indispensable one.

How much longer can Tiny Herb rely on Wang Jiexi? Everyone who follows Tiny Herb is very concerned about this issue. In terms of on-field performance, Wang Jiexi doesn't seem to have deteriorated in any way, but the player's age is there. This phenomenon, which seems to defy the objective laws of time, can usually be explained by one word: overdraft.

Yang Cong, who has stepped down from his core position, may gradually enter the rotation lineup and become a substitute if he continues to lower his standards and requirements. At that rate, he may be able to play for another two or three years or even longer.

What about Wang Jiexi?

How long can he continue to lead Tiny Herb forward with all his might?

Everyone is very worried, but they can't help but admire his spirit of burning himself out for the team without the slightest slack. As long as he can persist, everyone is willing to see his efforts, and of course, they hope that such efforts can be rewarded.

However, Reincarnation, standing in front of Wang Jiexi and Tiny Herb, is so powerful.

Compared to Tiny Herb, Reincarnation is a team at its peak. Most of their players joined the league in the fifth and sixth seasons, and now they are all at the peak of their professional careers. Slightly newer players like Sun Xiang are also seventh-season players, who have experienced small teams, big teams, and even the Challenger League, before finally arriving at Reincarnation. Sun Xiang's four-year professional career is truly more colorful than many veterans.

In the eighth season, they defeated Blue Rain in the finals.

In the ninth season, they defeated Tyranny in the finals.

This season, they encountered Tiny Herb in the semi-finals.

The former championship giants are being hunted down one by one by Reincarnation. They seem to be telling people in this way that the Glory Alliance has opened a new chapter, and Reincarnation will be the creator of this new chapter. Many people don't want to see this, but they can't deny Reincarnation's strength.

For example, the two teams that are watching this match together.

Tyranny, the team is old, the players are old, and they refuse to leave the stage. They probably have a stronger desire; Happy, as a new team with a bunch of rookies, should be a more new-era team than Reincarnation. However, there is Ye Xiu in this team, Wei Chen, Su Mucheng of the Golden Generation, and Fang Rui, who is in the same class as Zhou Zekai of Reincarnation. The composition is complex, and it's hard to describe what kind of mentality Happy has towards Reincarnation.

But facing the competition between Tiny Herb and Reincarnation, both teams unhesitatingly favored Reincarnation.

Reincarnation, playing at home, doesn't seem to have much strategic thinking in their choice of maps for the individual competition. It's just a map they are more familiar with, and then they have a real battle with Tiny Herb.

5 to 4.

Zhou Zekai, who was in the fourth seat of Reincarnation's individual competition, ultimately put an end to this competition.

In the team competition afterwards, Reincarnation earnestly utilized their home map advantage, without the slightest attitude of underestimating their opponents.

"What do you think?" The match had already passed the halfway mark, and Ye Xiu asked Zhang Xinjie.

Zhang Xinjie, who never gave ambiguous answers and rarely predicted unfinished matches, gave a very clear answer this time: "Reincarnation wins."

Yes, Reincarnation wins.

The situation was already clear enough.

"What do you think of Reincarnation? Feel free to say it, anyway, you won't need it." Ye Xiu laughed.

How could Zhang Xinjie not understand the meaning of these words? He smiled and ignored them. Zhang Jiale leaned his head over and retorted to Ye Xiu: "Why don't you tell us what you think of Reincarnation?"

"Very powerful," Ye Xiu said.

"Nonsense," Zhang Jiale said.

"Even more powerful than last year," Ye Xiu said.

Silence.

Last year's Reincarnation defeated Tyranny in the finals. Tyranny's players lost to the relentless years. What about this time? The players have been killed by the years for another year, but Reincarnation has become even more powerful.

The era is really about to change.

Even if one of the two teams snipes Reincarnation this time, neither the players of Tyranny nor Ye Xiu are likely to be Reincarnation's continued competitors.

Reincarnation will make a comeback, but what about them? Their era is coming to an end after all.

"Even if we are stumbling blocks, we must make them stumble badly," Han Wenqing said.

Everyone understood what he meant. Stumbling blocks can temporarily hinder the opponent's footsteps, but they can't always hold them back. Now, they can only be stumbling blocks. No matter what Han Wenqing says, he ultimately accepts the inevitable fact with equanimity.

"And then we'll crush them to death," someone added from behind Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu turned around and saw Tang Rou, Baozi, Qiao Yifan, Mo Fan, An Wenyi, Luo Ji...

They don't belong to the era of those old guys. The old generals are stumbling blocks, but they are not. What is the end for Ye Xiu and the others is only the beginning for them.

"Well said," Ye Xiu smiled. "Let's pave the way for you!"

"Beat Reincarnation hard!" Zhang Jiale said.

"Crazy. Your mission is just to be beaten hard by us next." Ye Xiu despised him.

"Damn it!" Zhang Jiale was half dead with anger. He was too immersed in the play and forgot for a moment that the gang in front of him was their next life-and-death enemy.

"Let's go, you guys pack up and prepare to die!" Ye Xiu said, getting up.

The match wasn't over yet, but even Zhang Xinjie dared to make a prediction. The suspense of this match had really ended long ago. Ye Xiu then led the Happy players away.

"Is it okay to let that guy walk away so triumphantly?" Zhang Jiale said angrily, feeling very upset that no one from Tyranny refuted Ye Xiu's trash talk.

"If trash talk was useful, why would we need matches?" Han Wenqing said.

"Actually, you just can't trash talk, right?" Lin Jingyan said sincerely.

A long silence.

"Damn it," Han Wenqing cursed helplessly.

"Eh!" Suddenly, Song Qiying exclaimed, and his eyes were still on the unfinished match.

Everyone looked at the match.

The match, which was originally thought to have no suspense, actually had another twist. Although it ultimately failed to change the outcome...

"I drew my conclusion too early," Zhang Xinjie said, which meant that the turmoil in the second half, the storm stirred up by Tiny Herb's new generation of players, Liu Xiaobie and Gao Yingjie, although it ultimately failed to create a reversal, it created the hope of a reversal.

Reincarnation won, taking another step towards their goal of a three-peat. Tiny Herb lost, but people unexpectedly discovered that Tiny Herb will also have an extraordinary tomorrow. Tiny Herb may not completely fall apart after Wang Jiexi retires, as many people worried.

Tomorrow, everyone has a tomorrow.

Happy's tomorrow at this time is the last day of rest before the second-round decisive match.

"Well, what needs to be said still needs to be said." The Happy players gathered again, and Ye Xiu gave a speech.

"This kind of match system in the third round, not to mention you, I have never played before either," Ye Xiu said.

"I haven't played it either," Wei Chen added.

"You haven't been around as long as I have!" Fang Rui despised.

"All of you shut up!" Chen Guo said angrily.

A moment of silence.

"You continue," Chen Guo said to Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu sighed, habitually thinking that "shut up" included him as well.

"We don't know the map before the match, so we can't make any targeted arrangements, and even the starting lineup needs to be decided on the spot. Therefore, each of us needs to be prepared to play at any time. I hope everyone recognizes this," Ye Xiu said.

"Understood," everyone nodded in unison.

"There will be no arrangements today. Everyone prepare on your own, do whatever makes you happy, and in short, meet tomorrow's match in the best condition. Everyone heard it last night, Han Wenqing of Tyranny has set them up as stumbling blocks, then we can only be accommodating and kick them away," Ye Xiu said.

Everyone laughed. Everyone heard what Han Wenqing said, but everyone knew that it was definitely not a setting for Team Tyranny, but just the self-pity of an old general. That stumbling block clearly included Ye Xiu as well. Ye Xiu is actually taking advantage of the topic now. Who would take it seriously!

"Kick them away!!" Baozi shouted.

The Happy players facepalmed. There really were people who took it seriously!

"Our goal is the championship. I don't know if anyone watched the content after we left last night's match?" Ye Xiu said.

"I saw the comments on the internet and then watched it again," An Wenyi said. "Tiny Herb almost created a reversal."

"Oh?" There were many surprised voices. As expected, most people didn't pay attention to that match after that.

"Did you see that? This is a match. It will be full of all kinds of possibilities until the last moment. Even in a situation like yesterday where we were all confident that Reincarnation would win, miracles still exist," Ye Xiu said.

"To the outside world, it was a miracle for us to win the Challenger League, and it would be even more of a miracle to win the professional league championship. Since they are so optimistic, we have no choice but to reluctantly create a miracle for them to see," Ye Xiu said.

Everyone laughed again. Miracles are miracles, but where is the optimism! He's talking nonsense again.

"Create miracles!" But this time, the nonsense was supported by everyone wholeheartedly. Everyone repeated it, either aloud or in their hearts.
