Blade, the rookie ADC player from North America who shocked the world in the LCS, had a variety of opinions in the circle.
Some people believed that although Blade had yet to go through the test of the world's top competitions, his strength had already crossed the threshold of the Seven Kings, and he even had the potential to become one of the Yonkō.
Some people in the circle had slightly different opinions. They felt that the rookie ADC player from North America was strong, but he was only strong in terms of individual skills. He was still lacking in terms of overall strength and experience in competitions. He was still lacking compared to the Seven Kings who had been famous for a long time. He might even be a little inferior to Snowy Nightsong from China's LPL.
However, there were some opinions and views that almost all the people in the outside world had the same opinion —
That was, as long as Blade was given enough time and experience in competitions, he would definitely become a true top ADC player in the world of professional esports.
However, there were also people who had doubts. They felt that the rookie ADC player from North America had risen too quickly. Moreover, his unique aggressive playstyle was not something that could be compared to other veteran pros. How did he figure out such a mature playstyle in such a short period of time?
Naturally, there were people who guessed the identity and origin of Blade.
They guessed that there was actually some kind of powerhouse club behind this rookie, and they secretly spent a lot of effort to train and cultivate him.
However, after careful consideration, they still felt that something was not right —
To be able to easily cultivate an ADC of this level, even the few top powerhouses in the world might not have this kind of foundation.
Otherwise, wouldn't the Seven Kings and Yonkō level powerhouses have long been running around the streets?
Only a very few people in the circle vaguely guessed some of the possible truth.
The keyword fell on the word "legacy."
Because the existence of the Seven Kings and Yonkō level would not appear easily. If it was not for years of training, then it was definitely under the guidance of a top-notch master —
For example, the legacy of Korea's F class.
From Lee Dao-jae to Han Shihao.
There were even people who traced back to the S1 Season even earlier and found the once talented mid laner in China from history that had been sealed by time. They matched him with the most immortal legend from the previous generation in China's eSports circle …
If it were those top legends from the previous generation, perhaps they would have more capital and ability to groom a strong successor than the so-called powerhouse clubs of today, right?
The few who had grasped some clue to the truth had cautiously come to this conclusion.
However, in their subsequent guesses and deductions, these people reached a dead end again.
That was because they still couldn't figure out which legendary existence from the previous generation Blade could correspond to.
It wasn't that he hadn't guessed it.
Instead, it was a legendary figure from the previous generation in North America. Even though it had already flashed through their minds, it was quickly rejected. Not only was that existence's whereabouts mysterious, but his personality was also frighteningly aloof and aloof. His vision was extremely high, and it was impossible for him to give pointers to an ordinary professional player.
Moreover, if he was really 'that person's' disciple, his strength and realm should be higher than Blade's.
…
This conjecture and view were indeed not wrong.
Therefore …
In fact, it was really Blade's luck.
Strictly speaking, although his talent and potential were high, he still couldn't meet the requirements of the North American legend from the previous generation.
However, it was because he hadn't been able to find a suitable successor for a long time that the North American legend from the previous generation was a little anxious and impatient.
Since he couldn't find the most suitable candidate, he could only reluctantly accept this passable Blade.
After all, this disciple wasn't the most satisfactory candidate. Therefore, in the process of teaching and training, the North American legend from the previous generation was almost frighteningly strict with his disciple, hoping that the latter could improve to a standard that met his requirements as soon as possible.
The upper limit of Blade's talent and potential was obvious.
No matter how hard he worked, he would never be able to satisfy his master.
Therefore, the North American legend was even more annoyed.
He was also more strict.
During the training process, the North American rookie ADC was always cold and harsh. If he wasn't satisfied, he would be scolded even more harshly. This made the North American rookie ADC, who had a strong mentality, almost cry after being scolded a few times.
Therefore —
In comparison, if Blade were to see his master's attitude and tone when facing the girl from China, he would probably be envious and jealous to the extreme.
The treatment was completely different from that of heaven and earth.
Such a gentle tone …
There was even a hint of praise in his words.
It was obvious that he was always thinking about his words, for fear of putting too much pressure on the girl.
How was this the master he was familiar with?
Of course, Tang Bingyao didn't know the disparity in treatment between her and her future "senior brother". Even though Bullet tried to speak to her in the most gentle tone and manner possible, the girl still couldn't help but feel nervous and pressured. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mhmm, mhmm." She didn't dare to raise her head to speak.
Finally, it was Bullet One's turn to speak again, and the girl's attention was finally attracted.
"Okay."
"Let's get to the point."
"Yesterday, Bullet, you only watched a bit of Tang Tang's match videos. You didn't really understand it. Today, you want to further confirm your disciple's skills."
"Why don't we have a real fight now?"
Number One looked at his fiancée and asked, "Little Wu, did you bring your laptop?"
Number Five nodded with a smile and said, "Yeah, it's in my bag. The internet speed in this cafe is pretty good, so it shouldn't be a problem to start a game."
While the two were chatting, Bullet suddenly spoke up.
"No rush."
Number One, Number Five, and Tang Bingyao couldn't help but look at Bullet. Number One raised his eyebrows.
"What, you have other ideas?"
Bullet didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the corner of the cafe. He then stood up and looked at Tang Bingyao, who was sitting across from him.
"Come with me."
Tang Bingyao was a little taken aback by what she heard. She subconsciously shrank back a little nervously, then looked to Number Five for help.
Number Five followed Bullet's gaze and looked at the corner of the cafe. Then, as if he had seen something, a look of realization appeared on his face. He turned to Tang Bingyao and comforted her with a smile.
"It's okay."
"Let's go have a look. Your senior and I are coming too."
With Number Five's encouragement, Tang Bingyao mustered up the courage to nod and slowly stood up.
Seeing that Tang Bingyao had stood up, Bullet nodded slightly. Without saying another word, he strode toward the corner of the shop.
