At Number One's command, the team members in KG Club's training room, including Lin Feng and Li Shiyi, returned to their seats in front of the computer screens one after another, preparing for the next round of training matches.
By now, the members of King Team had finally figured out the true strength of Lin Feng and Li Shiyi, the two "temporary sparring partners."
The former didn't need to be mentioned.
He was able to defeat their team's main mid laner, Ghoul Demon, in two head-on matches. He was able to hold his own against Senior No. 1, a legendary existence in the esports circle, for thirty minutes. He was only slightly disadvantaged in terms of development and team battles. He was almost at the same level as Addisi and Morning Star, or perhaps even stronger.
Even the latter —
During the first two training matches, King's team members had looked down on Li Shiyi's jungler. However, after the last half of the match and seeing Li Shiyi's performance in the middle and late stages of the team battle, they were finally convinced by him.
Perhaps Li Shiyi was inferior to Old C, the main jungler of Team One, in terms of individual skill, but in some aspects, he was definitely a professional player on the national server.
Now that they had a deeper understanding of the strength of these two "temporary sparring partners," they couldn't be too hasty in their arrangements for the next practice match.
So, it was still No. 1 who made the arrangements.
"Lin Feng, stay on the blue side. Konjac and Zou, stay here as well. Two members of Team Two will go to the jungler.
"For the purple side, Eleven, Ghost Demon, and Fatty will go to the bottom lane. Substitute the ADC of Team Two."
Although this arrangement didn't necessarily mean that the strength of the blue and purple teams would be completely equal, there wasn't much of a difference.
Lin Feng was naturally smug and eager to give it a try.
"Oh, playing against Fatty and Eleven? Interesting!"
Tian Tian was a little hesitant. "Playing against Lin Feng … I … I can't do it, can I?"
Li Shiyi patted his former top laner on the shoulder. "It's fine. Just give it your all. We might still have a chance!"
In his tone, there was a rare bit of confidence and fighting spirit that was rarely seen in the past.
Number One and Number Five heard the conversation and looked at each other. They both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Eleven, this child …
Finally, his spirit, Qi, and spirit were slowly being polished again.
"But it's still not enough." Number One shook his head again.
Number Five smiled. "I have confidence in him. Back then, he was able to fight his way to the top of the Western and American servers. Eleven's talent isn't much worse than Lin Feng's."
Number One paused for a moment, then looked at Li Shiyi, Tian Tian, Lin Feng, and the others. A faint smile also appeared on his face.
"Yes."
"Those brats from back then …"
"Which one of them would be bad?"
The top laner Tian Tian was now the number one top laner in the world. He was even stronger than the top laner North America's top laner Seven.
Even if Lin Feng hadn't recovered to his peak, he had already become one of the four emperors.
Li Shiyi, the jungler, had defeated Nian Thirteen back then and was almost the best jungler in the world.
The ADC, Ammo, was also a top-tier player back then.
Mu Qiu's strength back in the day was comparable to that of Autumn, who was ranked second among the Four Emperors.
In the past, it would have been the strongest lineup and team in the world.
Even if it was now …
It would still be enough to set off shocking waves in the world's top professional arena.
However —
"What a pity."
Number One suddenly let out a sigh without any rhyme or reason.
But Number Five, who was next to him, seemed to suddenly realize something. She turned to look at her fiancé, frowned slightly, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. "Did … did you find out?"
Number One was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"I found out."
"It's the information I found out in the morning."
Very few people could see such an expression on Number One's face. However, as long as such an expression appeared, it meant that something incredibly bad was about to happen. Deep worry flashed through Number Five's eyes, but he lowered his voice and asked,
"How is it?"
Number One took a deep breath, as if this was the only way to temporarily suppress the heavy emotions in his heart. Then he also said softly, "Very bad."
Number Five's heart sank.
She was about to continue asking, but she suddenly stopped. Her gaze swept over Lin Feng, Li Shiyi, and Tian Tian, who were sitting not far away, looking smug as they prepared for the next training match. Number One also shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's not convenient to say it here.
"It's not convenient to say it here. I'll tell you later."
Anyway — "
He paused for a moment and looked at Lin Feng and the others.
"We can't let these kids know about this for now."
…
It seemed that in a situation where no one had noticed, there was a faint shadow slowly rising behind the truth.
At this time, Lin Feng was naturally unaware of it. He was already excitedly preparing for the next training match.
"Come on, come on!
Eleven and Fatty are both full of fighting spirit, but I won't lose this match! "
He was still bursting with confidence.
At this time, Number One also smiled playfully. "Oh? You're that confident? "
Someone patted his chest.
"Of course!"
The bitter smile and heavy expression from before had disappeared. The corner of Number One's mouth curved into a smile. "Alright, let's make a bet. I'll bet on Fatty and Eleven's purple team."
The surrounding King team members who were watching the match also started to make a ruckus. Even King team's team leader, manager, and head coach, Tony, joined in to place their bets.
"I'll bet on the purple team!"
"I'll bet on the blue team. I support little bro Lin Feng!"
"Fuck, traitor! I support you! "
"I support the purple team too! Go Ghostie!"
Lin Feng curled his lips. "Senior, you're going to lose for sure! I'll bet on myself! "
In the end, everyone came to a consensus, and the wager became a lunch. Although it didn't sound like much, looking at the number of people who had placed their bets on the blue and purple teams, if the blue team lost, a certain someone would have to invite more than half of the King Club's team. No matter what, they would have to lose money.
"But if I win —"
"Everyone owes me a meal!"
Lin Feng's eyes were already shining as if he didn't even consider the possibility of losing.
Many of the surrounding King team members were indignant. "Damn, he's too arrogant!" "We have to punish him!" "Go Ghostie! You can't do it more than three times. This time it's your turn! "
Ghost took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
"Leave it to me!"
His tone was resolute. He already felt like he'd gained a lot from watching a few matches in the morning. Even if he had to fight Lin Feng again this time, he'd regained his fighting spirit and confidence. Not to mention, he had a few stronger teammates by his side!
The match officially began.
Both sides took turns to choose Ban, and when it was the blue side's turn to choose a mid laner hero, a certain person moved his mouse and quickly confirmed the chosen hero, causing the entire audience to be silent for a moment, and then a huge uproar spread out — —
Ice Bird!
Mid lane Ice Bird!
It was the exact same ice bird that Number One had just used!
