The league requires major clubs to announce the card pool before the start of the team match, mainly to prepare for the endless mode.
There is no limit to the number of cards in the endless mode. If you don’t know the card pools of other clubs at all, you don’t know what cards your opponent will play, and you don’t know how to deal with them. The game will definitely be a mess. After the card pool is announced, everyone at least knows what cards the opponent has.
For other teams, the announcement of the card pool greatly reduces everyone's pressure, but for the temples, the announcement of the card pool does not reduce the pressure, but increases the pressure!
Lingjingtang didn't sleep well that night. Xie Mingzhe's messy cards always appeared in his dreams - he sometimes saw Fahai pressing Bai Suzhen under Leifeng Pagoda, and after a while Dong Yong knelt in front of him and sold his body to bury his father. Li Jing angrily chased and killed his youngest son Nezha, Diao Chan ran to complain to Lu Bu, and finally, Lei Gong and Dian Mo appeared at the same time, and a thunderstorm fell from the sky, awakening Ling Jingtang.
The wonderful plot performed by the card players made Ling Jingtang forced to watch a movie all night.
He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water to keep himself calm. When he turned back to the training room, Xu Xingtu and Xu Hang brothers, as well as Zhou Xingchen, a newcomer who debuted this season, were present, and card designer Ye Suqian was also present, with a cold expression. Terrible, the atmosphere in the training room seems a little weird
Seeing Ling Jingtang arrived, Ye Suqian's expression softened a little, and said, "Jingtang, I have something to tell you."
Ling Jingtang's gaze swept across the training room, and found that Xu Xingtu's back was stiff and the expression on his face was very ugly. He immediately understood the reason, nodded to Ye Suqian, pushed his wheelchair, turned around and left.
After coming to the next office and closing the door, Ling Jingtang asked in a low voice, "Is Xiao Xu making trouble with you?"
Ye Suqian shrugged helplessly: "I can't hide it from you." He took a drink from the cup on the table, moistened his hoarse throat, and then continued: "Yesterday, the card group announcement, Xie Mingzhe made a fairy card, there are many Netizens left a message under our club's Weibo, saying that the fairy cards he made will replace our magic cards. When Xiao Xu got up this morning and saw those messages, he scolded Xie Mingzhe for deliberately going against the temples, and said that Xie Mingzhe had ulterior motives... I listen Don't go and tell him a few words."
"He still has the face to scold Xie Mingzhe?" Ling Jingtang's face sank, "In the individual competition, he lost to Chen Xiao in eighth and four, and was ridiculed by many netizens. He has always been resentful towards Nirvana. I think he was beaten by your master. Spoiled! If you didn't give him the magic card at the beginning, with his own strength, he would never have reached the level he is today."
"I wasn't careful in accepting an apprentice. It's really my fault." Ye Suqian said with a wry smile, "At first, I saw that his talent was pretty good, and he wanted to be a teacher. He came to me and begged me repeatedly.
Ling Jingtang gently pressed Ye Suqian's shoulder, sighed lightly, and said, "After losing to Chen Xiao in the individual competition, Xiao Xu's state is not quite right. I have told him many times, but his nature is hard to change and he is conceited. , arrogant, every time he loses a game, he doesn't look for problems from himself, always finds excuses, and if he doesn't take care of him well, I don't think he will learn to behave well."
Ye Suqian nodded in agreement: "I also found that he is not in good condition recently. He used to win more and lose less in individual competitions and won several awards. This time, he was accidentally eliminated by Chen Xiao, who did not care about him at all. The blow is too big... How are you going to deal with him?"
"This playoff I want to replace Xiao Xu and let him calm down for a while."
"Substitute?" Ye Suqian was stunned. "To replace him, who will operate the divine cards of the temples?"
Ling Jingtang smiled and looked at each other: "You come."
Ye Suqian: "…"
Ling Jingtang gently held his pale fingers and said, "I know that your legs are inconvenient, and you have been retreating behind the scenes all these years, making cards for the temples, and you won't even let yourself be Master Xu Xingtu. He mentioned... However, when it comes to understanding the magic card, no one can compare to you, Xiao Xu only learned a little bit of skin, I believe that the only person who can fully exert the power of the magic card is you."
Ye Suqian couldn't refute it, because what Ling Jingtang said was absolutely correct.
No one can match his understanding of the magic card. He made this batch of magic cards by himself, and endowed them with distinctive skills. As a professional card designer, his mental strength can completely participate in the competition. It is because of the disability since childhood that I do not want to be criticized by outsiders.
Going to a game in a wheelchair would definitely attract the attention of many people. Ye Suqian didn't want to face those curious, sympathetic, or sarcastic eyes.
Ling Jingtang knew what he was thinking, squatted down in front of him, looked him in the eyes, and said softly, "Little Ye, you have seen the batch of cards that Xie Mingzhe made. It is also a first-class level. There is still a week left to play the team match with Xiao Xu's current state, and our temples will definitely lose. If you are willing to take action, maybe we still have hope. "
"But, with your cooperation..."
"This is not a problem." Ling Jingtang interrupted him, "You have been participating in the usual training, Xiao Zhou is still a rookie you brought up, and you know my rhythm very well. You will replace Xu Xingtu and operate the magic card. It will definitely be easy for the team to break in."
"..." Ye Suqian continued to be silent.
"For the sake of the temples, and for your beloved divine card, don't you want to have an upright showdown with Xie Mingzhe?" Ling Jingtang asked in a low voice, "Or do you want to watch your apprentice with a hand of divine cards? Was it blown up by Xie Mingzhe?"
"..." Ye Suqian lowered his head, Ling Jingtang didn't speak any more, just looked at him gently.
After a long time, Ye Suqian raised his head helplessly and said, "Your eloquence is really good, I can't say enough about you."
"Is this a promise?" Ling Jingtang smiled slightly, looking at the pale man in front of him.
In fact, no one in the professional league would deny the talent and talent of this man. In addition to the magic cards, many of Ling Jingtang's weapon cards were also checked by him to check the data and skill design. The product of human cooperation. It's a pity that he has been retreating behind the scenes, and he has accepted an apprentice with an unhealthy attitude, which has caused the popularity of the magic card to go downhill.
If he continues to escape, perhaps, Xie Mingzhe's fairy card will completely replace the status of the god card. As the creator of the magic card, he also doesn't want to see his hard work being crushed by others.
Ye Suqian took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, his eyes had changed to a smile: "Thank you for trusting me so much, I'll try it."
Ling Jingtang was overjoyed, and immediately leaned over and hugged him: "That's great!"

In the training room, Xu Xingtu was still swiping Weibo with a cold face.
Yesterday, after Nirvana announced the deck, it caused a sensation. Many netizens flocked to the official Weibo of the Pantheon, saying that Xie Mingzhe has made a lot of fairy cards and his skills are interesting, and he will definitely defeat the god cards...
Xu Xingtu gritted his teeth, typed quickly on the trumpet, and went back one by one.
At this moment, the familiar sound of wheelchair turning sounded behind him, Xu Xingtu's back froze, and he immediately closed the webpage.
Ling Jingtang pushed Ye Suqian's wheelchair in, and said indifferently, "I'm announcing a decision - Xiao Xu, for the match with Nirvana, your master will play in person, you can rest."
Xu Xingtu looked back at his master in a stunned manner, his face full of disbelief.
Ye Suqian said warmly: "You've been in a bad state recently, Lingshen wants you to adjust, if you..."
Ling Jingtang interrupted Ye Suqian's warm words to persuade him, and said coldly, "If you can't adjust, you won't have to play next season."
Xu Xingtu: "??"
Ling Jingtang looked at him, his sharp eyes almost piercing his heart: "If you lose to Chen Xiao, you don't go to sum up your experience, and you don't train well after the individual competition. Do you really think I don't know anything? It's because of your master's face that I haven't told you. Xiao Xu, you should also reflect on yourself. "
The tone of this sentence was very calm, but it made Xu Xingtu fall into an ice cellar - it turned out that everything could not be hidden from Lingshen!
Ling Jingtang rarely lost his temper, and rarely spoke harshly to the team members. It was rare to criticize the team members today, so everyone had to keep their heads down, for fear of angering him. Xu Xingtu's head was about to drop to his chest, and his whole body was as stiff as a statue.
The air in the training room seemed to be frozen, so Ye Suqian had to take the initiative to break the silence: "Xiao Xu, Lingshen is also thinking about you, Master will play the next team match for you first, and you can also watch it from the sidelines. Look."
Xu Xingtu's voice sounded like a mosquito: "...I see."
Ling Jingtang submitted a substitution application to the Professional League on the same day, and the league quickly approved it - no one thought that the Temple of the Gods would make a temporary substitution in the playoffs.
***
At this time, Nirvana's conference room is also preparing for the next game.
Each season the club submits a list of 4-10 players to the league. Nirvana is a new team with only 4 players, which is just enough for the team competition. But there are many players from other large clubs, and the list of contestants is usually full of 10 players, 4 main players and 6 substitutes. Of course, most of the substitute players just reported their names and did not have many opportunities to play.
Chen Qianlin had seen the list of entries for the Pantheon in the first half of the year, including Ye Suqian. However, Chen Qianlin has been following the professional league for five years, and has never seen Ye Suqian appear in the professional league. Everyone knows that the designer of the Temple of the Gods is very talented in card making, but he can't play the game because of his physical disability, so Chen Qianlin didn't think much about it.
The magic cards of the temples have always been operated by Xu Xingtu. Chen Qianlin never thought that Lingjingtang would actually replace Xu Xingtu! In his opinion, the four-member main team of Xu Xingtu, Xu Hang, Ling Jingtang, and Zhou Xingchen is the best configuration for the team battle of the Temple of the Gods, and it is also the main lineup of the Temple of the Gods that has never changed this season.
Chen Qianlin carefully analyzed the playing styles of the four players, and finally came to the conclusion: "Ling Jingtang plays very stable, Xu Hang is a first-class support in the league, and Xiao Zhou is extremely talented. We can only use Xu Xingtu as a breakthrough."
Xie Mingzhe said: "Xu Xingtu deliberately sniped me in the game and gave me a gamble. At the time, I felt that his secondary illness was a bit serious, ten times more serious than the little bamboo who yelled at me every day. "
Ye Zhu just said that he had no malice towards Xie Mingzhe, but Xie Mingzhe always felt that Xu Xingtu hated him from the bottom of his heart. Opinion?"
Chen Xiao said with a smile: "He can't make cards by himself, he relies on the help of the designers. You can make so many cards, plus I beat him in the individual tournament, it's normal for him to hate us... Maybe he's jealous. "
"There's no need to go into the reasons why he hates you." Chen Qianlin interrupted the topic and said, "Chen Xiao, you played against him in an individual match, and he lost to you. In the team match, you continued to target him, and Xiao Ke was by the side. Cooperate, first destroy Xu Xingtu at the fastest speed, and then join forces to deal with Ling Jingtang."
"Understood." Chen Xiao and Yu Ke nodded immediately.
"In addition, we have just announced the deck, and there are a lot of new cards. If they play the endless mode, they will have more headaches. It is very likely that the 'light and dark cards' mode will be selected at the main venue of the temple of the gods." Chen Qianlin said, "The 20v20 light and dark card mode , the lineup is prepared according to Azhe's tactics. Azhe, please tell everyone in detail."
"Okay." Xie Mingzhe enlarged the 20 cards he had matched on the screen and interpreted them in detail.
