GOD LEVEL SUMMONER (神級召喚師)

Chapter 19 - Ling Xuefeng

Qin Mo didn't dare tell his master that he actually lost to an unnamed elf summoner in the online game.

He felt that this was particularly embarrassing. As a rookie who just debuted this season, his level wasn't as high as his master's but he could face the average player and have a large chance of winning. Even in the face of the other team's great gods, he could fight against them in a war situation.

He had never experienced being completely crushed by the opponent like today.

Qin Mo was still in a confused state, like he was caught in a strange nightmare. He was afraid that his master would scold him and didn't dare explain this matter. However, his feelings of grievances hadn't dissipated and he felt like he was going to die!

Ling Xuefeng saw that his apprentice wasn't talking, his face still a bit green, and couldn't help frowning. "What's the matter?"

Qin Mo's spirit returned and he shook his head. "No, it is nothing. I just ate something bad this morning and my stomach..."

How could such a poor excuse work on Ling Xuefeng?

The youth in front of him had a high self-esteem and was very stubborn. When Ling Xuefeng first accepted him as an apprentice, it was because he took a fancy to Qin Mo's talent in the game but his personality still needed to be honed. Ling Xuefeng knew the temper of his apprentice and didn't ask anything else. He went back to watching the league's team standings and said lightly, "The game with the Time team tomorrow is very important. I hope you can adjust your status as soon as possible."

Qin Mo was stunned and couldn't help being moved by his master's trust. "I... I will, Master."

"Yes." Ling Xuefeng nodded and then continued, "In the arena stage, Vice-Captain Yan and Guo Xuan will play first and second. You will appear last as the guard. If I'm not mistaken, you should face Vice-Captain Cheng Wei or Captain Tan Shitian. These two people aren't easy to deal with so you should go back and prepare."

Qin Mo's eyes widened with surprise. "I... I am going to be the guard?"

"Why? Do you have no confidence?"

"..." As a rookie, this was the first time the captain actually put him in such an important position.

Qin Mo was young and arrogant so his fighting spirit was soon up. He shook his fist and vowed, "I will prepare well."

"Go." Ling Xuefeng said, "Don't let me down."

"Yes!" Qin Mo nodded vigorously and turned away.

The vice-captain, Yan Ruiwen went out to get a cup of coffee and soon returned. He headed to Ling Xuefeng and sat down next to him. He drank the coffee before saying, "Ah, I just met Qin Mo at the door. His face didn't seem right. Did something happen?"

"He seems to have something on his mind." Ling Xuefeng explained. "But he didn't want to tell me so I didn't ask."

Yan Ruiwen looked for Qin Mo and found that the young boy had already turned on a computer and was in the arena. He couldn't help worrying, "Xiao Qin's state doesn't seem very good. It is appropriate to send him as the guard tomorrow?"

"I just want to give him a chance to play against masters." Ling Xuefeng calmly explained. "As a professional player, the greater the stress, the more you need to adjust your mentality. If he can't even do this, he will sit on the cold bench for the second round robin and reflect on it."

Yan Ruiwen, "..."

Captain Ling's personality had always been like this. If a person performed well and worked hard, he would naturally give them more opportunities. If a person wandered off the chain, they could sit on the cold bench and reflect on it.
