Lin Feng continued to wait in the spring. There were still ten seconds left before he could respawn. In front of the computer screen, Lin Feng still hung his head in silence.
But his right hand, which was gripping the mouse tightly, revealed that he was not at peace at the moment.
Yes.
Just a little bit more.
Even if he did not hear Senior No. 1's sigh of regret, he was well aware of this fact.
This wave of solo kills in the mid lane was not because his clockwork demon spirit had made a mistake. Or rather, even if there was a "mistake", it was because he was still not strong enough.
Yes, his current state was rapidly recovering and improving, getting closer and closer to his golden peak state. Even if he were to go up against the top midlaners of the Seven Kings of the World, he would be able to guarantee that he would have the upper hand in the lane.
Even if he were to face one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), the outcome would still be uncertain.
But …
Just a little bit more.
He knew very well that if his clockwork demon spirit had been replaced by the "Moon Empress" Moon, who was ranked at the bottom of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), he might not have been able to avoid the same result, and the odds were around 40% to 60%. If it had been the "Phoenix" Phoenix, he would have had more than a 60% chance of surviving, but if it had been Han Shihao …
In this wave, even Ice Bird under Senior No. 1's control could not pose a threat to the clockwork demon spirit under Han Shihao's control.
So —
In fact, it was purely a matter of strength.
Lin Feng tightened his grip on the mouse.
The current him had faintly crossed the threshold of becoming one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors). It sounded extremely shocking, but in fact, if he were to face the Yonkō (Four Emperors) head-on, the only one he had a chance of winning against was Moon, who was ranked at the bottom of the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
If he went further up, whether it was Phoenix or Han Shihao …
His result might be the same as the previous wave of solo kills by Ice Bird. He would not stand a chance.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
This wave of solo kills was actually like a slap to the face. It was a burning pain, but it also reminded him that even with his current strength and realm, he still did not have the qualifications to relax, be proud, and be confident.
He didn't have much time left.
Perhaps in the local LPL arena, he would be able to sweep the floor like he did in the previous two matches against KG's main mid laner, Ghost Demon. Other than a handful of players, no one else would be a match for him.
However, his journey was not limited to the local server, nor was it limited to the LPL.
His true opponent …
In the end, they were all existences that stood at the top of the world's professional esports circle, the Seven Kings and Four Emperors, and even some terrifying powerhouses from the previous generation that Senior No. 1 seemed to have inadvertently mentioned were hiding in the dark.
Perhaps this match was only an ordinary training match, perhaps even senior number one and sister Xiao Wu hadn't used their full strength.
However, Lin Feng didn't think that his opponents would hold back in the slightest. If Lin Feng wasn't strong enough, he would be crushed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Feng lowered his head. His eyes were twinkling and then became calm and serene again.
He retracted his aura.
It was even more condensed.
Even more silent.
Senior No. 1 had already used this fact to directly and impolitely sound his alarm bell. If he still couldn't break away from his original comfortable and satisfied self, and couldn't recognize the cruelty and urgency of reality, then it would be too ….
He would be letting down senior number one and sister Xiao Wu's painstaking efforts.
"Lin Feng?"
Tian Tian's voice rang out in the blue team's live chat, his tone also carrying a hint of worry.
Lin Feng shook his head.
"I'm fine."
Then he let out a sigh of relief. His gaze fell on the game screen in front of him. He looked at his Clockwork Demon that had resurrected from the spring, and his eyes became cold and sharp again.
"Continue."
"There's still more!"
… …
That being said, it was already past the 23rd minute mark in the match. The situation on the field was actually quite unbearable for the blue team.
In the previous wave, the Purple Army's jungler had completed a solo kill. Disregarding the impact on the Blue Army's morale, the fact that Spider and Ice Bird had taken down two of their kills had directly boosted the development of the Purple Army's jungler duo to a whole new level.
"Spider and Ice Bird …"
"They're both bosses now."
A KG team member commented with a hint of fear in his voice.
Indeed.
Now, a jungler with almost unbelievably good development could almost insta-kill any blue team hero in a 1v1 situation with a set of skills. Even Lady Blade might not be able to tank it.
Meanwhile, the damage output of Ice Bird in the middle lane was equally impressive, especially under Number One's control. The combination of skills and Ice Wall allowed almost every skill to hit the target with absolute accuracy. It was as if the original flaw of Ice Bird's slow ballistic speed was perfectly made up for.
The KG team leader and head coach Tony who were watching from the sidelines were still discussing in low voices.
They had never considered the possibility of Ice Bird being a hero in the professional arena.
But now it seemed …
Perhaps there was still room for development for this hero. Perhaps it could become a surprise move for them in the S6 finals?
"This is difficult."
After a moment of discussion, the KG team leader still shook his head with a solemn expression.
"It's too difficult to develop this hero. The main thing is that it requires too much of the player's own personal strength. Even someone at Morning Star's level would find it difficult to achieve such results."
Indeed, even the former world's number one Ice Bird, Phoenix, had almost never used Ice Phoenix in today's arena. This was enough to explain the problem.
Most of the time, there were many heroes that could not be used. From a theoretical point of view, perhaps some heroes could really become the core of some tactics if they played perfectly. But the difficulty was that these heroes had too high a requirement for the players —
It was not a problem with the hero itself.
It was whether the player's own strength was up to the task of controlling it.
Such a requirement …
Even the Seven Kings might not be able to meet the standard. Perhaps only the Four Emperors were the most reliable.
The 24th minute of the match.
The situation on the field was still in a stalemate, but the blue team's outer tower in the top lane had been demolished by the purple team. Originally, Tian Tian's Lady Blade was supposed to suppress Kennan's rhythm in the top lane, but when other unexpected variables appeared, the situation naturally changed.
Fortunately, Tian Tian was vigilant enough and reacted quickly enough.
Even before he noticed the other purple heroes on the minimap, Lady Blade immediately chose to abandon the tower and retreat because she sensed that something was wrong with Kennan's positioning. Then, just as his Lady Blade retreated to the back of the tower, she saw the figure of the opponent's jungler appear in the triangular bush behind the tower.
That was enough to make him break out in cold sweat.
If he had been half a beat slower, his Lady Blade would have been killed by Kennan and Spider.
Although they managed to escape with their lives, the top lane's outer tower could only watch as Spider and Kenan's minions destroyed the tower. Tian Tian had no choice but to control Erilia to retreat all the way to the top lane's second tower before returning to the city.
At the same time.
In the blue team's live chat channel, Li Shiyi's voice suddenly rang.
"Old Tian."
"Bottom lane!"
