In the dim forest, the night sky hung low, the stars sparse, and the occasional roar of a beast broke the silence. Suddenly, a sound of something cutting through the air shattered the tranquility—a short spear, like the messenger of death, tore through the air and pierced the neck of a large bear before it could dodge, turning it into a wisp of smoke that vanished with the night breeze.
The other bears were enraged by this sudden attack. Their eyes gleamed fiercely in the darkness, as if they wanted to tear the unknown enemy into pieces. But that figure, like a ghost, dodged through the forest, throwing out spears one after another, as fast as lightning. In less than half a minute, all twelve spears were thrown, and all the bears were dead.
The bear king roared out of the cave, and the figure was a strong man in armor, Jamie Smith's former national team friend, Finn Brown. He took two sections of a long pole from his back, clicked them together, and it was a spear. Holding the spear, Finn Brown stared at the bear king.
"Roar~~~" The bear king had already pounced close.
"Come on." Finn Brown fought bravely.
After a while.
A bit ragged, Finn Brown looked at the bear king who died of bleeding, and smiled: "The Star Tower has been open for more than three days, and after the ninth attempt, I finally killed the bear king and tried the third floor!"
A moment later.
"The third floor is too difficult." Back in his personal space, Finn Brown lightly touched and contacted his good brother.
"Old Xu, are you working hard in the training field?" Finn Brown smiled as he watched the image appear.
"Brother Heng, what can I do for you?" Jamie Smith joked. Among the best brothers in the national team, Finn Brown is the most narcissistic! He spends a long time in front of the mirror every morning, combing his hair carefully, and he even carries a comb and skin care cream with him. The national team teammates jokingly call him 'Brother Heng', and Brother Heng is quite proud.
When they were in the national team, they were equally strong and often paired up for sparring, and they had a very good relationship. They were also in the same dormitory.
There were four of them in the national team dormitory, him, Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, and Amelia Martin. Amelia Martin was a bit more distant from them.
"Do you know about the Fire Seed Cup National Competition?" Finn Brown said, "Shall we team up and have some fun?"
"Sure." Jamie Smith laughed, "With the two of us together, aren't we invincible? Have you invited other teammates?"
"Not yet, you were the first one I thought of." Finn Brown raised his eyebrows, "Let's invite Quincy Shawn, and we'll have three people, right?"
"You, me, Quincy Shawn..." Jamie Smith thought for a moment and said, "What do you think about Big Bear?"
"Big Bear is a good person, and his shield and axe skills are also very solid." Finn Brown nodded in agreement, "But we lack an archer. Most of the current divine archers are from the archery circle, and I'm not very familiar with them."
"I'm not very familiar either." Jamie Smith said, "It's still early for the competition, let's think of a way, if not... warriors, charge together."
"Okay, you decide." Finn Brown laughed, "Old Xu, I trust you to handle things."
"Haha, it's settled then." Jamie Smith said.
Finn Brown made an OK gesture.
"Okay, I'll talk to Quincy Shawn and Big Bear." Jamie Smith hung up the communication and immediately contacted Quincy Shawn. Quincy Shawn was honing his skills in the Star Tower and exited the Star Tower upon receiving the communication.
"Brother Xu." Quincy Shawn answered.
"The Fire Seed Cup competition, how about we team up together?" Jamie Smith asked.
"Sure, no problem." Quincy Shawn laughed happily, "Who are the members?"
"You and me, Brother Heng, and Big Bear." Jamie Smith said, "Now the divine archer is not determined."
"I think the four of us can do it." Quincy Shawn laughed happily, they were all familiar friends.
"Look at you, so proud, Master himself can defeat the four of us alone." Jamie Smith said, "Be more down-to-earth, be more modest."
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
"Yes, Brother Xu, you're right." Quincy Shawn obediently said.
"That's it, I'll go find Big Bear." Jamie Smith cut off the communication and contacted Big Bear, Chase Ron.
...
Big Bear, Chase Ron, was fighting the bear king on the second floor of the Star Tower.
After practicing the "Giant Bear Evolution Method", Chase Ron's already burly figure became even more 'burly', now standing at two meters and twenty-six centimeters tall, and his weight has also increased significantly.
Holding a large shield, Chase Ron looked like a smaller version of a bear. When the bear king slapped, Chase Ron was knocked flying with the shield, but he got up again, with blood at the corner of his mouth, but he continued to fight hard.
"Master Ray Willow's shield skills are so good, why am I so far behind." Chase Ron raised the shield again to block the bear king's slap, "This time, try to block the bear's impact."
Suddenly, there was a communication connection.
Chase Ron temporarily exited the Star Tower after taking a look.
"Old Xu." Chase Ron smiled.
"Do you know about the Fire Seed Cup National Competition? Me, Quincy Shawn, Finn Brown, plus you, let's team up and have some fun?" Jamie Smith said.
"Among the four of us, I should be the weakest, right." Chase Ron smiled, but he was a bit short of confidence. In terms of age, he is the oldest of the four. He and Jamie Smith were on the Jiangnan Provincial Team. Jamie Smith was a genius and was recruited in high school. He was much older and his performance was much worse.
He has been struggling for so many years, has participated in the national team training, but has not been the main force of the national team! The highest world ranking was 39th, and he was not qualified to participate in the World Martial Arts Competition.
Jamie Smith and Finn Brown have both been in the top eight of the World Martial Arts Competition, and Quincy Shawn has also been on the World Martial Arts Competition, all stronger than him. They are all younger than him.
"Now that we have all evolved in life, everything is possible, and I have also defeated Chase Goff and James Brown." Jamie Smith said, "Don't always care about past achievements."
"Yes." Chase Ron nodded slightly, he knew he needed to work harder.
"Okay, is that settled?" Jamie Smith looked at him.
"Since you don't dislike me, then I will join." Chase Ron said, "I will do my best."
"Don't worry, Big Bear, I believe in your strength." Jamie Smith said.
After the communication was disconnected, Chase Ron's spirit was also a bit refreshed: "The teammates are all very strong, I need to work harder." He originally thought that the second half of his life would be to lead newcomers in the Sports Bureau, but who thought that the virtual world came, and he Chase Ron picked up the shield and axe again, starting the martial arts campaign.
Now Jamie Smith, Finn Brown, and Quincy Shawn are all the talented players of the Summer National Team. They are willing to team up with him, which also makes Chase Ron full of fighting spirit.
He must work harder and not drag his teammates down!

In the evening, Jamie Smith had dinner with May Lee.
"So you have determined the team so quickly?" May Lee was surprised, "The registration time for the competition is at the end of the month! There are still more than twenty days left, and everyone's strength will change a lot in the first month of the virtual world."
"Teaming up is about everyone being happy and working together." Jamie Smith laughed, "And the ones I invited are all my best brothers."
"Now there are four people, one is missing?" May Lee said.
"A divine archer is missing." Jamie Smith said.
"With Jamie's strength, there should be many people inviting you, right? No divine archer?" May Lee asked.
"There are many people inviting me, but I have refused, saying that the team has been determined." Jamie Smith said, he is, after all, one of the top divine masters in the Summer Country, and he is also young, and many people are optimistic about his future.
"But the ones who invited me are not good divine archers." Jamie Smith shook his head, "There are many warriors, but there are few divine archers."
"Divine archers are few. Nymph Fairy ranks the top thirty-six masters in the Summer Country, and there are only three divine archers." May Lee also agreed, "The top divine archers are all very popular."
Jamie Smith nodded.
Suddenly, a call came, and Jamie Smith touched it lightly.
"Lena Smith?" Jamie Smith looked at a man opposite him, Lena Smith is also a national team teammate, but because he is a second
-line player, there is less contact between them.
"Old Xu, the Fire Seed Cup National Competition, I'm here to hold your thigh." Lena Smith laughed, "Let's team up, shall we? I have now practiced a hand of archery."
"Archery?" Jamie Smith was surprised, "You were practicing dual blades in the national team, right?"
"I have a talent for archery, and I started quickly. Let me show you my combat panel." Lena Smith took the initiative and displayed a screenshot of the combat panel.
"Archery has reached the second order?" Jamie Smith praised, "It's amazing!"
"How about it? I can use dual blades for close combat and archery for long-range combat. It's okay, right?" Lena Smith said.
Jamie Smith thought for a moment.
Lena Smith was in the second team of the national team, and he, Quincy Shawn, and Brother Heng were in the first team. Although they were not very familiar, there were no contradictions between them. After all, they were all teammates.
"Okay, our team is just short of an archer." Jamie Smith laughed, "You, as an archer, are not afraid of being assassinated. The other four members of our team, me, Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, and Chase Ron, if you think it's okay, it's settled?"
Lena Smith listened, slightly puzzled, and said, "Chase Ron, hasn't he been on the World Martial Arts Competition? Isn't he a bit weak? Can we find a better shield master? It's easy to find someone stronger than him in the circle."
After all, they know many national team teammates.
"In terms of shield skills, Big Bear is quite good. He was only a little bit away from the World Martial Arts Competition." Jamie Smith said, "And in the virtual world, everyone has started a new struggle, don't underestimate Big Bear."
"Okay, you are the team's thigh, I listen to you." Lena Smith said, "I believe in you."
"Then it's settled?" Jamie Smith said.
"It's settled." Lena Smith nodded.
Jamie Smith, Finn Brown, Quincy Shawn, Chase Ron, and Lena Smith specially set up a 'team group'. Everyone was also very happy with Lena Smith's joining. Even if Lena Smith's archery skills are a bit worse, they are now at the second level! And it is still rapidly improving. By the beginning of next month, the archery skills will definitely be more advanced. Plus, Lena Smith himself is also very good at fighting, not afraid of assassins!
