The suburbs of Manchester City, Milton Stadium.
Backstage, after chatting with Phoenix outside Legend's conference room for a while, Lin Feng waved goodbye to an old friend he hadn't seen in half a year.
There was nothing to be reluctant about. After all, it was just an accidental meeting today. It was just a beginning. Next, when the teams from Korea and their local LPL division arrived in Manchester City, there would be opportunities for the various divisions to practice and learn from each other before the start of the S6 Group Stage in the next two days.
As the designated sparring partner of the LPL, he certainly wouldn't miss out on such an occasion.
Arriving at the main stadium, Lin Feng found An Xin and Ceng Rui in the front row of the audience. The two had been sitting there for a long time. When they looked up and saw a certain someone jogging over, An Xin raised an eyebrow.
"It's over?"
Lin Feng nodded. "It's over."
Ceng Rui was more curious about something else. "How did it go inside?"
A certain someone shrugged. "That's it. I was forced to be Legend's sparring partner for two rounds …" As he spoke, he hurriedly gestured for his two companions to keep quiet. "Don't tell anyone, or my seniors will definitely scold me to death if they find out."
Indeed, it made no sense for an LPL sparring partner to help a veteran powerhouse in the European region …
"How did it go?" Ceng Rui couldn't help but ask.
Lin Feng laughed heartily, his face full of mettle. "Of course I'm the one who taught Phoenix and the rest of Legend a good lesson. You guys didn't see how much they worshipped me just now ~"
An Xin said with a smile,
"So, how did you win?"
Lin Feng choked. "Ahem, that …"
"Huh?" The girl raised an eyebrow playfully.
"I lost two rounds in a row. But it's their home field. I can't do anything about it no matter how good I am."
Anxin made a face and said, "I knew it. So, don't boast in the future. If it was someone else, they would have thought that you had defeated the Yonkō (Four Emperors)."
Ceng Rui thought of something else. "But only two rounds? Then why did it take so long? "
Lin Feng scratched his head and explained, "Oh, after the match, I chatted with Phoenix for a bit longer. It was about our new team. That guy was pretty interested in it."
"So, what did they say?" An Xin seemed quite interested.
"Our new team is also very impressive," Lin Feng said as he glanced at Ceng Rui. "I praised you, Ceng. I told Phoenix that you're the next Autumn."
Ceng Rui was a little flustered by a certain someone's reply, and his face was a little pale. "W-what? How could you have the nerve to spout such nonsense in front of others! Moreover, it was a character on the level of Phoenix! Aren't you afraid of losing face? "
The pressure was really great.
He didn't even dare to think about it, but his companion had helped him to boast about it in advance, not to mention that it was to a top-notch Yonkō. Thinking about his current level of strength … even if he wasn't there just now, he would have been so embarrassed that his ears and face would have turned red.
An Xin couldn't help but laugh. "You're right. Ceng, you should be more confident. You might be the next Autumn!"
The girl turned to Lin Feng.
"What else?"
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Phoenix said he was embarrassed that he didn't recognize you, so he asked me to say hi. Oh, he also mentioned Tang Tang."
Ceng Rui heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"What did he say about Tang Tang?"
Lin Feng pursed his lips. "Nothing, but when he heard that Tang Tang was a girl, he couldn't believe it. He thought I was joking."
"Joking?" An Xin narrowed her eyes. "What's wrong with a girl? Does he have a problem with girls playing League of Legends?"
There was a hint of danger in his voice.
Phoenix was probably lucky that he didn't come over with a certain someone to greet her. Otherwise, if he had met the girl who had been exposed, he probably wouldn't have ended up well …
Ceng Rui could understand the thoughts of Europe's number one wizard. He shook his head.
"So, what did you tell him?"
Lin Feng shrugged. "Oh, I just said, 'It's been hard on you these past few years. Even at your age, you're still able to improve your reaction speed and hand speed. But if we're talking about hand speed … our ADC is better than you.'"
… …
"Have more confidence in yourself. Don't be nervous.
"Your hand speed … if you use it to its fullest, you'll definitely be better than most pro players right now."
In a coffee shop in the center of Manchester City, No. 1 said to Tang Bingyao while standing next to the gopher machine.
At this moment, the girl had just finished her second round of trial on the gopher machine. Although her results were slightly better than the first round, it still wasn't completely satisfactory — —
3 minutes and 30 seconds.
According to normal judging standards, this had already reached the basic hand speed of a normal professional esports player. It might even be a little higher.
But under the stricter standards of Bullet … it still didn't meet the standard.
More importantly, just the day before, No.1 and No.5 had introduced Tang Bingyao's talent and potential to Bullet, and the words and descriptions they used were far better than the girl's performance.
Meet the standard?
No, even if he could last for four minutes and surpass 70 to 80% of normal pro players, if Bullet wanted to take him in as a disciple … then this kind of result was far from enough.
While Number One was comforting Tang Bingyao, Number Five turned to Bullet with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry."
"She's still a little nervous."
Indeed, the current situation was completely different from what they had expected.
No one in the room would be satisfied with this kind of result.
However, Bullet had thought that Bullet, who had not seen a satisfactory result in two consecutive rounds, would become impatient or even angry. But unexpectedly, when Bullet heard Number Five's apology and explanation, he did not seem to mind it at all. His expression was as calm as ever.
"It's fine."
"It's understandable."
As he said that, he looked at Tang Bingyao again.
"Can we try another round?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the degree of gentleness in his tone left Number One and Number Five slightly stunned. This … really exceeded their expectations once again.
Tang Bingyao pursed her lips. Although she felt pressured and uneasy, the guilt and self-blame of letting down her seniors made her grit her teeth and nod.
"Sure."
Bullet's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.
"Very good."
"Then, let's continue."
