62: Chapter 63 Karin, you don't want to put the old patriarch of the Persian Kingdom in a difficult position, do you?

Northern Plains, secret base.

Old Man Li had already regained his composure and curled his lips, "You're so old already, yet you're still sniveling. Look at how pathetic you are!"

Zhang Zhiwei was currently a mess of snot and tears!

"Sigh!! It was my fault! Our initial strategy was the Three-Star Wukong, and everything in the plan was going well, but I didn't expect that we would fail on such a simple issue as itemization!"

"After an eleven-game losing streak, although the Three-Star Wukong was successfully chased, we... sigh!"

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes were bloodshot.

He was the general director of the Gods Arena strategy. Although his role had become nominal ever since Shen Mo appeared, it did not diminish the guilt in Zhang Zhiwei's heart.

To him, the eleven people who had failed previously were his responsibility!

Shen Mo had turned the tide and saved the situation from collapse; Zhang Zhiwei admired him and was also grateful.

But that did not mean Zhang Zhiwei had forgotten the people before; they were also the pillars of the Dragon Kingdom and the pride of the younger generation of the Dragon Kingdom. They had not yet had the chance to shine on this stage.

It was because of his strategic errors that they had been forced to exit the arena early!

Originally, Zhang Zhiwei thought his strategic error was in choosing the wrong chess cards... After all, before Shen Mo appeared, no one's team composition had become systematic, and the mainstream playstyle was still pursuing the quality of individual cards.

But now, Shen Mo had told him through actual actions that he was wrong!

A moment of poor judgment! Utterly wrong!

Old Man Li chuckled and picked up his teacup, "Aren't you blaming Shen Mo for slapping your face? By using the Three-Star Wukong, he is clearly telling you that the Wukong wasn't wrong—you, this old fellow, were the one who was wrong..."

"Slapping my face?"

Zhang Zhiwei let out a deep breath, a bitter smile appearing on his face, "A good slap! A well-deserved slap! If swelling and bruising this old face of mine could allow our Dragon Kingdom's youth to rise, what would it matter if I were beaten to death?"

"I'm just afraid that this kid Shen Mo isn't hitting hard enough!"

"Not hitting hard enough..."

"Let's go." In the corner of the spectator stands, Charlie patted Chris, who was still looking dumbfounded, and prepared to turn and leave with a calm demeanor. Chris regained his senses and asked in surprise, "We're not watching anymore? This itemization..."

"Not watching anymore."

Charlie waved his hand, the smile on his face widening. He had already guessed that behind the woman competing on the field... was the very man he had been keeping an eye on!

Ascended Gold elixir? New composition? Heh!

It wasn't that Charlie looked down on Persia, but for them to reach this point was simply impossible!

A few days ago, the Dragon Kingdom released an announcement on the world forum, which caused a huge uproar regarding off-field coaching and boosting. Charlie had originally just been watching for the joke of it; after all, there were very few responders, and there seemed to be no movement from the Dragon Kingdom side over the past few days. It looked like they had given up.

With Shen Mo in seclusion, Charlie had been secretly observing the shift in trends. He hadn't expected to see such a shocking scene today!

The corners of Charlie's mouth curled up, his thoughts beginning to wander, and the figure of that man seemed to appear before his eyes again...

"Shen Mo, you really are surprising!"

"Compared to Long Chen back in the day, you are no less excellent. If Long Chen was an unstoppable dragon, then you are a fierce beast hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike..."

"I have a feeling that the current Gods Arena is restricting you, as if chains are tightly binding your hands and feet, preventing you from unleashing your true strength... But it doesn't matter... it won't be long now!"

"I will wait for you at the Gods Arena; everything you want is there..."

Charlie felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart; his footsteps grew more distant, and his figure gradually faded into the darkness.

[Stage 5-4! The match begins!] [Persia vs India!]

Noisy and clamorous sounds erupted, and the screen returned to the Gods Arena.

The match on the field was still intense, but everyone knew... this match had already lost its suspense...

Zheng! A golden light of leveling up shot into the sky! Karin had successfully chased out a Three-Star Jinx!

The audience from India was in despair; many people dared not look at the match on the field anymore.

The roaring sounds started up again! But this time, Jinx's damage was absurdly exaggerated!

Rakan was casting his ultimate, a white shield lighting up on his body, and his figure darted through the battlefield like a phantom!

A green light swept across the entire field; under the bonus of 3 Revival, the health of the chess pieces that had previously been at low health was instantly restored by a notch!

The battle continued! A Two-Star Taric emitted light all over his body, trying to withstand Jinx's attacks.

But under the locked-on critical hits, his health was like floodwater from an open sluice, completely unstoppable!

In the back row, Ryze started his cast, countless spell projectiles bombarding the field; Zilean was insta-killed, Bard was left at low health, and only Wukong stood tall and unfallen!

Saru's mouth twitched. A look of despair welled up in his eyes; 15 seconds had already passed, it was too late... No. There was no hope left!

A few breaths later, the golden light appeared once again, and the Three-Star Wukong looked as if he were clad in golden armor, bathed in golden light!

Roar!!! The earth shook violently, and the mountain-like Wukong successfully transformed!

Wukong, who had originally been at half health, had his health instantly topped off! A green light lit up beneath his feet! +1125! It was Redemption!

Under the terrifying health bonus, the health recovery from Redemption also became staggering! Combined with the Revival Synergy and the cannon fire of the Three-Star Jinx, at this moment, the audience in the livestream felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation!

Powerful! Terrifying! Invincible! An indescribable feeling appeared in everyone's hearts.

Persia... when did they become so powerful?

Saru was stunned; his brain was a blank slate, and at this moment, aside from the sound of Jinx's cannon fire, he couldn't hear anything else.

"This familiar feeling..." Subconsciously, Saru muttered to himself.

Time reversed, the images shattered, and a man with a gentle smile appeared in his mind.

[Stage 5-4! The match ends!] [Persia vs India! Persia wins!]

[Rankings update!] [First Place: India, Saru, Health: 56!] [Second Place: Persia, Karin, Health: 48!] [Third Place: ...Eliminated!]

Karin had locked her health quite late, which had once caused Saru's health to be far in the lead; even after being heavily damaged by Karin in this round, he still had nearly half of his health remaining!

Saru cried; he had never hated his own health so much before... Why! Why did he still have 56 health!

"It's too cruel, haha, 56 health left; it's hard for Saru to even die at this point, he's going to be tortured for at least three more rounds!"

"It's hard to keep from laughing... India is almost being beaten into a shell."

"Wukong is awesome!"

The Dragon Kingdom audience was delighted. The Three-Star Wukong was showing off his might, and this scene simply hit the spot for them! One word! Satisfying!

"Sigh, it's a pity Brother Shen isn't here. If Brother Shen were watching the match right now, he would surely be very happy!"

"Indeed... another day of missing Brother Shen!"

"By the way, when will Brother Shen's seclusion end?"

"Don't know..."

While the audience in the livestream was discussing, on the arena, Shen Mo was also discussing with Karin at this moment!

Karin's face flushed red, "Mr. Shen Mo, in a moment... do we really have to do this?"

"Of course!"

Shen Mo said righteously, looking like a big bad wolf coaxing a little girl, "This is a great opportunity. Think about it, how many people are watching this match right now? This is all traffic. If you miss this wave, it will be hard to have another chance like this!"

"You wouldn't want the Old Chief of Persia to be in a difficult position, would you..."

Karin: "..."
