Among the legendary players of the previous generation, Bullet from North America had always been known for his cold personality and unapproachable personality.
However, Zhang Heng didn't know what Number One had done to provoke the North American Number One, causing the North American Number One's attitude toward him to be more disgusted and repulsed than anyone else. If it weren't for Number Five who helped to say a few words to ease the situation, the call wouldn't have lasted until now.
But …
At this moment.
When No. 1 inadvertently revealed some information that fell into Bullet's ears, the situation seemed to have gone out of control.
It was understandable.
After all, he had just unceremoniously criticized the direct disciple that the other party had selected with great difficulty, and then recommended another so-called 'more suitable' disciple as if he was presenting a treasure, but in the end, the person he recommended was actually a girl.
For Bullet, this was simply a provocation and insult to his intelligence.
His disciple.
The disciple that he had cultivated with all his might.
She was able to compete with the bottom lane of Season's team in the North American professional league. She was able to suppress the opposing ADC by 120 times even with the help of the world's god of support, Autumn.
Perhaps as a new professional player, she was already qualified to challenge the ranks of the world's seven kings.
Such a disciple, in the eyes of Number One, was actually inferior to a little girl?
Through Bullet's almost bone-chilling questioning on the other end of the phone, it was completely conceivable that the anger of North America's top legend of the previous generation had soared to a critical point.
In this case …
Forget about others, even if it was Number One, he wouldn't give him any face.
In fact, this would directly ruin the relationship between the two sides. Even if Bullet himself was no longer in the professional arena, with his identity, strength, and status, it was definitely not a good thing to be optimistic about if he became hostile to Number One and the entire LPL division.
The anger from North America … was not something that anyone could easily withstand.
However, even so, in the face of the sudden cold questioning on the other end of the phone, Number One on the other side of the phone still seemed to be calm.
"Hey, hey, that's a bit sexist."
"What's wrong with girls, huh?"
"Don't forget, Xiao Wu is also a girl, don't tell me she's also a joke in your eyes?"
As he said that, he brought up his fiancée, causing Number Five to smack him lightly in annoyance.
But …
This was indeed a perfect example.
It made people completely speechless to refute.
No matter how arrogant and conceited Bullet was, no matter how much he looked down on others, in the previous generation, Bullet No.5 was definitely a formidable opponent that he had no choice but to wholeheartedly acknowledge.
Back then.
There were many top legends in the previous generation, but only two of them were on par with Bullet in terms of matchmaking.
One of them was Arrow from Europe.
The other one was Number Five, who was currently accompanying Number One.
For Bullet, he didn't even care about Europe's Arrow. According to his own words, "Bullet is just a coward hiding behind a turtle's shell."
The coward referred to Arrow, and the so-called "turtle shell" referred to the terrifying support Shield that Lin Feng had once encountered in the European champion's group.
Even these two European legends of the previous generation were nothing in Bullet's eyes. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other, Arrow would have been completely suppressed by Bullet in terms of strength.
Therefore, No.5 was the only one who was able to go head to head with Bullet and not be at a disadvantage at the same level.
This was also the reason why Bullet treated Number Five differently. Even when he was about to hang up after receiving a call from Number One, it was because of Number Five that Bullet's attitude softened a little. It was also because of Number Five that Bullet treated Bullet with respect.
At this time, Number One brought up his fiancée as evidence, which really stunned Bullet on the other end of the phone. He couldn't refute it, but after a pause, he spoke again, and the coldness in his voice didn't diminish.
"005 is just a special case."
"Are you going to tell me that the girl you just mentioned is comparable to your fiancée?"
The sarcasm in his voice was still undisguised.
Yes.
This was even more absurd and impossible than finding a "seedling with the same talent as Blade."
In the entire world of professional esports, from the previous generation to the new generation, there were only a few top professional players who could reach the level of Number Five. Speaking of female professional players reaching this level and being listed in the World Esports Hall of Fame, there was no one else.
Therefore, at this moment, Bullet didn't believe it at all.
However, at this moment, Number Five, who was next to his fiancé, moved closer to the phone's microphone and spoke.
"On this point … Bullet, I have to help prove that Number One is not lying."
Obviously, Number Five's words were far more credible than his fiancé's.
This was because Bullet was silent for a long time after listening to Number Five. After a long time, he slowly spoke again:
“OK。”
"If that's the case, with such a good seedling, isn't it better for you two to be responsible for teaching her?"
"Why do you need my help?"
It was a sharp question that hit the nail on the head.
Indeed, no matter how arrogant Bullet was, even though he was considered to be one of the top Legendary Warriors back then, he still wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he was much stronger than the couple on the other end of the phone.
Even if the two of them were alone, they wouldn't be inferior to him in the slightest.
Number One laughed when he heard this.
"Sigh, that's a simple question."
"We want to as well, but it's a pity that this young lady's playstyle isn't quite compatible with ours. She's a complete copy of your playstyle from back then. Of course, we can teach her, but that would be a waste of such a good seedling."
"Then, I immediately thought of you, right?"
"Anyway, I'll say it here. Compared to your current Blade, the girl I'm talking about will definitely satisfy you in terms of talent, potential, and playstyle."
"So, I have to correct you again —"
At this point, Number One paused for a moment and the corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile.
"I'm not asking for your help."
"But … I'm doing you a big favor."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The other end of the phone fell into a long silence again. Finally, Bullet's cold voice came again:
"How can I trust you?"
Although he still didn't easily give in.
However, his attitude was clearly much more relaxed than before.
Number One and Number Five looked at each other and smiled. They knew that after spending so much effort, they had finally grasped the weakness of their old friend and rival. The fact that the other party could say something like that proved that he was already moved.
And as long as he was moved.
The rest of the matter was easy to handle.
