Chapter 241.2: Making every game into part of Glory’s history was what a real Team of Gods should do!

No one knew that Yuan Ze had secretly returned to S City, secretly returned to the outside of the FTW base.

He didn’t go in and didn’t even get out of the car. He just watched it from a distance.

He saw that the once warm villa had become cold, saw that the familiar faces had become strange ones, and saw that the ‘home’ that he’d once thought he would stay at for a long time had long become a fragmented place.

At the time, Yuan Ze had felt that he couldn’t beat up Close again.

Because he was a deserter, while Close was guarding their FTW.

Something that everyone had thought was impossible, but Close had done it.

They’d all given up.

Any excuses, any reasons, any helplessness were all inadequate.

He’d just given up.

Marshal had lost to Close.

So, how could he sign up for the singles?

Dazzling light arcs exploded in the canyon.

The familiar nine light arcs were still as dazzling as ever.

Yuan Ze took a deep breath, used his damage immunity equipment, and retreated as much as he could, getting out of the attack range.

The shadow thief in front of him wasn’t Close.

But the shadow thief in front of him was also Close.

He’d trained up Gary to fight against Close in the singles competition.

Close also had Quiet, who could revive the shadow thief in the team competition.

There was no need to look back on the past that couldn’t be changed.

But the opportunity that was now in front of his eyes absolutely couldn’t be lost!

Yuan Ze, who’d been depressed for several days… or it should be said, Yuan Ze who’d been feeling down for several years, was finally seeing the dawn.

It was a light that tore through the thick fog, shining upon the sea of his heart, and dying the deep blue into a bloody red!

The shadow thief landed. Yuan Ze’s brain was blank; there was only the death knight who switched forms on the screen. Its three dogs charged forward, followed with a heavy blade assault, magic buffs that strengthened his basic attack, and a blade that hit the shadow thief, disrupting his retreat and stabbing into his chest.

Health bars plummeted, and the blood special effects that splashed out dyed the shadow thief’s dark lightweight armor red.

The death knight used his skills to reduce his cooldowns, switching forms again. The light form death knight was like a big demon that had come out of the demon world. He was slender, and moved at shocking speeds. The heavy blade grew shorter and shorter, and as he approached the shadow thief, the blade swept across his throat, killing him off with a single blow!

System Announcement––

Marshal killed Quiet.

The death knight killed the shadow thief.

A death knight that hadn’t been seen for a long time.

A shadow thief that hadn’t been seen for a long time.

A duel of life and death that hadn’t been seen for a long time!

Yuan Ze only came back to his senses when he saw the fallen shadow thief. He looked unconsciously at his hands that were still on his keyboard…

He hadn’t felt like this in a long time.

This kind of feeling that didn’t need forethought, didn’t need him to anticipate the opponent, this kind of feeling where instinct was greater than reason, where he had complete trust in himself.

Wei Xiao’s words popped up in the chat box. “Not bad, Old Shit.”

Yuan Ze’s mouth curved. It wasn’t a deliberate, false smile, but a carefree one. It was as though the years and the accompanying pain had been washed away, leaving only the initial pleasure from before. “Again!”

Wei Xiao: “Bring it!”

Old Bandit Yuan really had some skill. He was really worthy of being the death knight who’d forced out nine light arcs!

Wei Xiao had another version of Yuan Ze’s segment of memories.

His nine light arcs had always been unstable, but as long as he soloed with Lu Feng’s death knight, it would become very stable, with an almost 100% success rate.

Wei Xiao couldn’t help being curious.

After asking about it several times, Wei Xiao learned…

Close had been the one to brush out nine light arcs, but Teacher Yuan had contributed quite a lot.

Without equal opponents, where would these amazing stunts come from?

There were some shackles that couldn’t be broken through alone.

Partners and opponents were the elements that stimulated unlimited growth in people.

Unknowingly, over an hour passed in this way. Bai Cai came into the room. “What are you doing?”

Wei Xiao: “Playing against the old bandit.”

Brother Cai took a closer look. “Holy shit, the win rate between you two…”

Wei Xiao: “The old bandit is still quite fierce.”

One minute per game. They’d already fought over sixty times. Wei Xiao had died forty eight times, while Yuan Ze hadn’t even died twenty times.

Although death knights had a natural advantage against the shadow thief, it had to be said that Yuan Ze was really very strong.

After all, in the current solo mode, everyone came out with full gear and there was no need to spend time on development.

However, if a shadow thief could brush out nine light arcs, they might not necessarily even be to be held down by the death knight.

Brother Cai watched for a while. “There’s been significant improvement on the level of your light arcs.”

Wei Xiao: “Mm.”

Brother Cai was still worrying. “Captain Yuan’s anti-restraint ability is really strong.”

Wei Xiao: “It’s just that he doesn’t want to play it. If he does, he can brush out nine light arcs, too.”

This wasn’t just random talk about Yuan Ze. It was a statement of facts.

Yuan Ze understood the shadow thief too well. His knowledge of the talent was scalp numbing.

It was true that he simply didn’t want to play it. If he played it, then the nine light arcs would be on hand whenever he wanted them.

How had he been able to train up Gary?

If he didn’t know how, then how could he train him up?

After watching for a while, Bai Cai was cowering a little. “Teacher Yuan’s really terrifying.”

He really deserved to be the number one singles king in Glory. His reputation was well-earned.

In the game, Wei Xiao fell again. “What did you think?”

Normally, L&P and FTW had a good relationship. The two teams interacted often and got along peacefully, so they’d forgotten who it was on the other side.

How could it not be terrifying?

Once the strongest top-laner, the man who’d gotten the FMVP and had led his team to win the golden dragon trophy the year before last, how could he be weak?

Not to mention…

Wei Xiao’s shadow thief stood up again in the canyon. “Not to mention, he’s finally gotten serious.”

Brother Cai: “……”

After another fight, Brother Cai interrupted again. “Can you fix your problem of revitalizing your opponents before the game!”

As he’d been saying, why hadn’t he gone to find the captain in the middle of the night and stayed here soloing with Yuan Ze instead?

It turned out that this was Wei Little Xiao’s fixed practice before the game––helping his opponents!

Others might not know, but Brother Cai knew it all.

It had been exactly like that during the domestic competition!

Before playing with the top four, Wei Little Xiao had to fiercely heal up his opponents. If he couldn’t get the other side to get into it, then he didn’t seem to be able to play.

He could clearly win the championship in easy mode, yet he insisted on turning it into hell mode. What was this little bastard thinking!

Wei Xiao’s expression was innocent, “Ah?”

Bai Cai: “If Captain Yuan isn’t serious, then our win rate is only thirty or forty percent. After he’s been all cheered up… can we still win?!”

Wei Xiao disdained him. “It’s growing their ambitions before destroying their prestige.”

Bai Cai was still in a poor mood. “You’re the one who is giving them those ambitions!”

Wei Xiao glanced at the time and left Yuan Ze a reluctant message. “Old Shit, I have to go.”

Yuan Ze: “?”

Wei Xiao: “My boyfriend is off work!”

Yuan Ze: “………………” Get lost!

After quitting the solo room, Wei Xiao got up and said, “If I don’t cheer him up, then how can we win?”

Bai Cai couldn’t understand this, but Lu Feng would definitely have understood if he was here.

If he wasn’t cheered up.

Then how could they win!

In the final analysis, there was only one solution to Lu Feng’s troubles and Yuan Ze’s irritability.

And it was what Wei Xiao had told them––to just play their best and fight!

No matter who won or lost, regardless of the past, in this fight between L&P and FTW, they just had to give full play to all their abilities, show off their entire strength, and have a fight without any reservations!

This was a game that was being played in front of the whole world, and it would be broadcast live across the globe.

As long as they did their best, then so what if they lost?

What they feared wasn’t failure but regret!

Regardless of whether it was L&P or FTW.

What they feared most wasn’t stopping at the top eight, but a cowardly exit!

The audience’s eyes were bright and clear.

The best game wouldn’t necessarily be in the finals.

And the finals didn’t guarantee those games would be the most outstanding.

Making every game into part of Glory’s history was what a real Team of Gods should do!

Time passed by quickly. It seemed that they were already ushering in the third game of the eight into four games in the blink of an eye.

Y1 and Pro had already successfully entered the top four.

FTW was undergoing special training behind closed doors. Let alone going to watch the game at the scene; they didn’t even watch the live broadcasts.

Of course, the coaching team and special advisor Fu Li had gone over the games many times.

L&P was their most important opponent at present, but Y1 and Pro couldn’t be ignored.

The battle to enter the top four was very difficult, but everyone firmly believed that FTW could advance to the semi-finals.

In that case, they had to do their homework on their next opponent!

There was one game for the top four held every day. When FTW set out to the venue, Money remained at the base.

Moonlit looked at him.

Mo Hui covered his eyes. “I’m going back to sleep. Call me when it’s over.”

Moonlit: “……” With just this level of potential, he should hurry back and inherit his family business instead!

Mo Hui wasn’t the only one who didn’t dare to watch. Eurostar-star didn’t dare to watch, either.

However, Eurostar-star was in a miserable position. He’d been brought along by his own captain to act as a special guest commentator.

Eurostar looked pitifully at his captain, who was sitting in a special guest seat. Although he didn’t make a sound, his eyes were filled with pleas of: “Switch, switch, please, let’s switch!”

Fu Li was unmoved.

The special guest was different from the commentator seats.

The commentator booth followed the entire game, keeping an eye on the battle situation in order to provide timely commentary.

The special guests area only needed to provide predictions prior to the game, analysis during halftime, and a game review after the game.

In comparison, the special guest seats seemed far more comfortable, okay!

Unfortunately…

The competition committee appreciated Fu Li’s ability to review the game, and they were more optimistic about Eurostar-star’s youthful face for the commentator position.

So, one of them had a commentator seat, while the other went to the special guest seating.

The camera swept over. The game was imminent, and Eurostar could only acknowledge his fate.

FTW had to make a good showing!

He didn’t want to be Glory’s number one poisoned tongue!
