There was a puff of sound as Bai Cai laughed out loud.

This was indeed the beast. Two years ago, Brother Cai, who’d fought with him from north to south was now filled with all sorts of emotions––

Wei Xiao was someone who was crazy and wanton, but that didn’t affect his strength.

It wasn’t a big deal to be arrogant. What made it so irritating was that this person had the skills to back up his arrogance!

Gary was in a daze for two seconds, “???”

Wei Xiao’s mood calmed down and he typed out another few words, “Your dad.”

This time, it wasn’t just Bai Cai, even Ning Zhehan was amused into laughter.

Tang Chen didn’t concern himself acting disabled anymore. He patted Wei Xiao’s shoulder, “Little brat, you’re pretty good!”

He really had some damned skills. It wasn’t fun enough to just use Chinese to provoke Old G, he even worried that he wouldn’t understand and switched to English. Badass!

The corner of Lu Feng’s lips curved. “Start.”

Chen Feng rubbed his forehead. He suspected that he’d have to rely on EVE (painkillers) to survive. When Little Lunatic Wei joined the team, his migraines might become incurable.

Gary was a little confused, but they’d unfortunately already entered the BP interface, and he couldn’t say anything else.

The atmosphere here at FTW was different from before.

Although Chen Feng had a headache, he had to admit that Wei Xiao was born with an ability to inspire everyone.

Although they were ‘faced with the brink of death’ for this match, the two words Wei Xiao had typed out had swept away the team’s depressed mood.

If ordinary people encountered this kind of situation, how could they trash talk? They wouldn’t even know where to put their left and right hands, but this boy…

His heart was so big that nobody could match up to it!

Chen Feng exhaled softly and asked Wei Xiao, “Can you use divine warrior?”

This was a relatively all-purpose top-lane hero. It was also relatively powerful in the current version of the game.

Wei Xiao: “Not a problem.”

Lu Feng didn’t say anything. He was continued to be targeted like crazy by L&P and selected an engineer without significant DPS to play in the jungle.

The hero selection that came after didn’t hold much suspense. It was just that L&P’s jungler hesitated for a while before selecting a hero. It was estimated that Old G had been a little annoyed by Wei Xiao’s trash talk and wanted to find a way to get back at him.

Finally, Old G took the devil thief that tended towards DPS. It was clear that he wanted to go wild.

This custom training room was set up for training matches between professional players and made available by the game organizers. After entering, everything was the same as it would be in a real competition arena. It was impossible for both sides to talk to each other during the match, and there were just calm operations, hot-blooded fights, and if they wanted to speak, it was limited to communication within their own team.

Lu Feng had always been the team commander. He didn’t say much, but every sentence was precise, “Bai Cai, follow the bottom lane.”

Bai Cai: “’Kay.”

After Lu Feng finished killing the first jungle creep, he said to Wei Xiao, “I’m coming to gank the top-lane in a bit.”

Wei Xiao was in the top lane and was currently fighting for troops with the opposing top-laner, “Sure, this kid’s a little caught up in it.”

He’d just finished speaking when he aimed and hit the opposite top-laner, shaving off a segment of his health.

The top-laner was a little dazed. It was obvious that he hadn’t expected this Professor to have this level of detailed operations.

Tang Chen could be considered a well-known top-laner in China. The substitute’s ego was a little inflated from being able to pressure him down, and he felt that this new Professor was just a new king with a runaway mouth.

Who could’ve guessed…

First Blood!

When the system prompt came out, even Chen Feng was stunned.

Wei Xiao had killed… Gary!

Far away in L&P’s base in North America, Gary cursed. “Fuck!”

In one corner of the training room, the black haired man sitting on the sofa stared at the screen, “Not bad, it seems that Close has found a treasure.”

The operations just now had been really eye-catching.

Wei Xiao and L&P’s top-laner had been fighting very fiercely in their lane. At first glance, he seemed impulsive and reckless, his aura full of eagerness to play and full of flaws.

Old G who’d been provoked at the start of the game had long made up his mind to gank Wei Xiao until he collapsed, so he’d come up to the top lane after clearing the first wave of jungle creeps.

Who could’ve guessed…

Wei Xiao’s attacks might be fierce and reckless, but his sense of smell was extremely keen.

Old G had just crouched in the grass to ambush him when Wei Xiao pretended to move forward, then bypassed L&P’s top-laner with a flash to attack Gary directly!

In Glory, there was a benign relationship of restraint between heroes. For example, the junglers threatened the c-positions, while the top-lane heroes could suppress the junglers.

Wei Xiao’s surprise attack had caught Old G off-guard.

The devil thief was incredibly fragile in the early stages. When he was smashed by a set of skills from the divine warrior, he didn’t even have a chance to react before he exploded on the spot!

Wei Xiao: “Close, come quickly, the kills are about to fly away!”

Lu Feng showed himself the moment that Old G fell to the ground, taking away the life of the L&P’s top-laner who had just been about to dodge behind the tower.

Six minutes into the start of the game, FTW took down two heads!

A great advantage!

Wei Xiao smiled, “This son is unfilial, he’s always thinking of crouching in the grass and attacking his father!”

It was fortunate that L&P couldn’t hear their conversation. Otherwise, Old G’s state of mind would explode, and he would try to fight to the bitter end with Wei Xiao for the entire game.

Although it was true that Old G had indeed gotten a little caught up in the game.

Chen Feng looked on coldly and had to admire Close’s judgement.

Wei Xiao was really a talented player who could only be encountered by luck and couldn’t be found no matter how hard you tried.

The upper level of his personal ability was extremely high. What’s more, he had this innate centripetal force.

In a team game, no matter how fierce a person was, it was still difficult to clap with one hand.

However, if there was a ‘sun’ in the game, then the momentum of the team would be very different.

E-sports tested the quality of the players. Quality wasn’t just based on their operations and understanding of the game, and was even more focused on their performance in a team.

Integration, overall command, cooperation, and leadership.

Not a single one of these could be omitted.

An excellent commander didn’t only have command of the team; they were also able to integrate seamlessly into the team and leave no gaps.

If they could build a team where all five people were commanders, then this team would be a true tightly-knit team, an iron barrel that nobody could break!

Wei Xiao had the ability to easily mobilize the team’s emotions.

His innate passion and fighting intent could easily affect others.

Not to mention the teammates who were fighting with him, even the bystander Chen Feng could feel it.

They wanted to follow him and cooperate with him.

Their front was ever triumphant!

Fifty minutes later, FTW pushed their way up towards L&P’s territory. They managed to cut down everyone beneath their knives and win the game despite the other side’s fierce, angry resistance!

Victory!

Ning Zhehan shouted out in excitement, “We won!”

They won!

They’d actually won against the second place in last year’s global finals!

If news of this was leaked out, the entire Chinese Glory circle would explode!

It had to be known that in the past two years, two full years, the two seed teams from the China competition zone hadn’t even made it to finalists competition, let alone the actual finals!

But now, they’d just won against the runner-up in the global finals!

Even if it was just a training match, even if L&P’s ace Yuan Ze hadn’t played… still, they’d won!

Wei Xiao was in a great mood. Thinking about how he also had three hours of solo, his mood became even better. “Isn’t it just a mere training match? Let’s do it again.”

What was called blood boiling? This was it.

Ning Zhehan’s cheeks were flushed red, “Let’s go, again!”

People needed to have confidence. Once they had confidence, they could give full play to 200% of their ability.

Chen Feng poured a bucket of cold water over them, “L&P has switched people.”

The previous substitute had gone off, and the new ID was L&P.Marshal.

Marshal was ‘Yuan Shuai’ in Chinese.

L&P’s ‘Marshal’ was also once FTW’s ‘Marshal’, the man with a well-deserved title as the God of the Top-lane, Yuan Ze!

Tang Chen’s eyes were full of a fierce light, “F*ck, this dog Yuan Ze has no good intentions!”

For him to go up on stage now was to suppress Wei Xiao’s momentum. To put it more bluntly, his goal was to hammer Wei Xiao into seclusion!

This old thing was really evil!

Chen Feng glanced at Lu Feng, then looked at Wei Xiao, “He’ll target you like crazy.”

Wei Xiao stretched his fingers, “Nothing better than that.”

Lu Feng: “Start.”

His tone was relaxed and not worried at all.

Chen Feng paused for a moment and didn’t say anything else.

As Yuan Ze’s former teammate, he understood Yuan Ze’s bad habits all too well.

Yuan Ze was the singles champion of 2017.

At the time, FTW’s goal had been to collect all three championship crowns into their bag and refuse to let go of a single one of them.

Only one person per team could participate in the singles competition. At the time, Close had only just joined the team and was still inexperienced. The coaching team had rejected him for the position since the remaining four people in the team, including their support position, had the ability to win the singles.

Unfortunately, only one person could participate. At the time, everyone in the circle had said that watching the immortals fight in FTW would be more interesting to watch than the global singles finals!

It had really been a fight between gods and immortals. Yuan Ze was ultimately the one to represent the whole team.

And he’d won the singles title without any suspense.

It was difficult to measure how strong Yuan Ze’s strength was now, because he had never participated in the singles competition since then.

However, one thing was certain. He was at least as good as Lu Feng.

The Wei Xiao who was still young now was definitely not a match for him.

Facts proved this to be true.

After Yuan Ze came up, L&P’s BP was much more casual. They didn’t aim at Lu Feng very much and instead went through the BP as usual, giving FTW many opportunities.

Chen Feng wasn’t polite either. He took three heroes that were strong in the current version of the game, and also targeted Yuan Ze with them while he was at it.

From a hero selection perspective, Yuan Ze’s blade gunner was weaker than Wei Xiao’s devil warrior.

However, even from the start of the game, Yuan Ze began to push his way down the top lane like crazy, without a care for the devil warrior.

Wei Xiao tried to attack him several times, but Yuan Ze was as slippery as a fish. Not only did he not miss a single soldier, he also didn’t lose any health.

This was a huge difference in strength. It was not only a difference in personal technique, but also in experience.

Chen Feng let out a sigh. He could already foresee the ending.

As Tang Chen had said before the start of the game, Yuan Ze had come to target Wei Xiao.

Gary didn’t provide much support to the top lane for most of the game. Instead, he frantically pressured the middle and bottom lanes so that Lu Feng had no choice but to support the rest of the team and couldn’t go up to the top lane.

There was only Yuan Ze and Wei Xiao in the top lane.

In the early stage, Wei Xiao was unable to suppress the blade gunner, and in the later stages, he could only be passively beaten up.

Twenty minutes later.

Marshal kills Professor!

Marshal kills Professor!

Marshal kills Professor!

…………

Previously, Gary had said that he wanted to kill Lu Feng 10 times. In this match, Yuan Ze killed Wei Xiao 10 times.

Chen Feng’s heart was chilly. He knew that Wei Xiao’s heart was big, but he’d encountered this old dog Yuan Ze before joining the team…

Professor kills Marshal!

Tang Chen exclaimed, “F*ck! This little kid can really do it!”

Chen Feng was stunned and looked inconceivably at the screen.

Wei Xiao had single-handedly killed Yuan Ze?

He’d been abused and killed 10 times. How could he actually manage to fight back?

Unfortunately, FTW was already on the downtrend. Not only had Wei Xiao been suppressed, but both Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also been overwhelmed.

Even if Lu Feng could contain Gary, it was still difficult to hold down the fort.

Defeat!

FTW lost the last training match.

The game was over, but the customized battle room hadn’t been closed yet.

A line of text came out on the chat box.

Marshal: “The child on the opposite side is very good. Would you like to come to L&P?”

Tang Chen was enraged, “Can this old animal Yuan Ze be any more shameless?”

Wei Xiao typed expressionlessly, “Sure.”

Chen Feng, Tang Chen, Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle: “???”

Bai Cai was very calm: Oh, it’s coming…

Far away in North America, L&P’s people were also confused.

Wei Xiao finished his words, “I would like to ask if L&P is short on explosives. I’ll take some along with me and guarantee that you guys are sent flying on the spot.”

Juurensha: Oh boy WX, your mouth.

xiin: i love Bai Cai’s zen. he’s seen it all now.
