Number Five's expression was still as calm as ever as he said this, but Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
From his tone … they could hear something else.
Although they were familiar with Xiao Wu's personality and knew that she had always been indifferent, it didn't mean that she stood aloof from the world.
If that was the case, she wouldn't have the achievements and status she had in the previous generation of professional esports.
As a female professional esports player, she had brazenly entered the World Hall of Fame and even became an honorary consultant of the seven-member advisory team of the World Television Association headquarters. How could such a top legend of the previous generation really be the harmless type?
Of course, there was no need to fight for other things.
But if she fell into the field that she was best at, she would always be competitive and want to compete.
Of course, Number Five's competitive spirit wasn't focused on Blade. The disparity between the two, be it in terms of status or strength, was too great. If he were to compare them, it would be too much of a big bully.
So in fact, the real opponent of Number Five was the North American legend of the previous generation, who was now Tang Bingyao's new master, Bullet.
These two were also strong opponents who had fought against each other countless times in the previous generation.
Back then, it was difficult to determine who was the winner between the two. But in the new generation, it was no longer possible for them to go to war again just because of a moment of anger.
So …
There were other ways to replace it.
For example, for Number Five, Wildsnow Nightsong, who she had taught during the LPL competition, could be considered half a disciple of hers from a certain point of view.
On the other hand, although Bullet had said that Blade from the Crown team was barely an apprentice, he still inherited part of the North American legend's legacy.
The confrontation between these two top professional ADC players in the new generation of esports also vaguely represented the invisible confrontation between the two top legends of the previous generation.
But …
In this first exchange, Number Five seemed to be at a slight disadvantage.
In the training match between God and Crown in the morning, Wildsnow Nightsong's ADC was suppressed by Blade.
Part of the reason was that Huangxue Nightsong had underestimated his opponent at the start of the match, which was why he was at a disadvantage. However, that wasn't enough of an excuse to absolve himself of the situation.
With Number Five's temperament and attitude, he naturally wouldn't get angry or blame Huangxue Nightsong. Still, knowing that his junior had suffered a loss at the hands of his old rival's disciple still made him feel a little competitive and eager to learn more.
Otherwise, Number Five wouldn't have come to watch the highly anticipated mock match between God and Minx. Number Five wouldn't have come to watch this match alone.
Her purpose was just as she admitted at this moment.
She wanted to see with her own eyes how strong the disciple of her old rival, Bullet, was.
"Sigh, I think it's because Old Ye didn't play well this morning."
Lin Feng stood up with a righteous expression on his face.
"If he was as good as he was this afternoon against Crown, Blade wouldn't have been able to beat him."
"Besides, Blade was taught by Senior Bullet for more than half a year. Sister Xiao Wu, you only taught Old Ye a few moves. If you had spent half a year, you could have beaten Blade in minutes!"
"Ceng Shiyi, don't you think so?"
Li Shiyi and Ceng Rui were stunned for a moment, but they quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, yes!" "That must be it!"
The sudden change in the topic left the simple-minded Tang Bingyao in a daze. An Xin, on the other hand, was already snickering. Su Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes and pull Tang Tang to her side. "Ignore them. They're all bootlickers …"
Number Five helplessly pointed a finger at Ye Ci.
"You … what are you thinking?"
"Do you really think I'm that narrow-minded?"
She paused for a moment before shaking her head.
"That's not right either."
"When it comes to teaching a disciple, it's always about whether or not they're compatible with each other. For example, Tang Tang's style perfectly fits Bullet's requirements. But for Ye Ci … I'm not the right person to teach him. So even if I spend half a year with him, there's no guarantee he'll make any significant breakthroughs."
Ceng Rui, Li Shiyi, and Su Xue all nodded in agreement. That was indeed the case. Only Ye Ci was disappointed.
"If Old Ye heard that, he'd probably die of regret. He's been looking forward to getting more pointers from you."
… …
While the group chatted, the training match was about to begin. The screen had already entered the loading bar. Lin Feng rubbed his chin as he looked at the spectator screen on the wall.
"Eh, Hitman … looks like he's pretty stubborn."
That wasn't without reason.
Looking at the lineup chosen by the blue team that Team Assassin was part of, they had Jayce and Void Prophet on the top and middle lane respectively. However, the bottom lane was facing the strong combination of Policewoman and Ox-Head from the Crown Battle Team, while Team Assassin had chosen an EZ and Sungirl to deal with them.
No.
Strictly speaking … this could no longer be considered a "response".
There was nothing wrong with EZ. This hero was also a T1 hero in the current version. Although it had a short range, it had the ability to withstand pressure.
But the last support position was chosen by Leona, the Goddess of Dawn. This made everyone's eyelids twitch.
It wasn't a soft support like Lulu's fan.
This Japanese girl was a pure support.
This meant that Team Hitman didn't intend to accept their fate of withstanding pressure. There was only one possibility for them to choose a hero like Japanese Maiden.
I don't care how strong you are. I'm going to fight you head-on.
"Not bad."
Anxin praised.
Although there might be a gap in strength between the bottom lane compositions of the two sides, Team Assassin's display of fighting spirit was enough to make people sigh in admiration.
"But Ox-Head counters Japanese Maiden." Ceng Rui furrowed his brows. He was a support, so he could easily see the problem.
Li Shiyi nodded slightly.
"So …"
"The blue team's bottom lane composition can't just be a simple matchup."
Lin Feng's face lit up with excitement.
"It'll depend on Thirteen's performance."
"I feel like …"
"There's going to be some dirty tricks."
