Lin Feng was a little surprised to hear Ceng Rui's words.
"Huh? Little Ceng, you've heard of me? "
Then Lin Feng began to laugh heartlessly.
"Ah, that's great! Now I don't have to explain anything to you! Saves me a lot of time! "
On the other hand, Ceng Rui's face turned green when he heard this. [No Pop-Up Window]
Half of it was because he was angry, the other half was so shocked that he still hadn't recovered.
Of course, he was angry because as a teammate who had fought alongside him for so many matches, a certain someone had actually kept such an important matter from him until now. Moreover, even at this time, he still wanted to gloss over it so casually.
She had never seen such an irresponsible and simple-minded fellow before!
But shock …
That was even more reasonable.
Ceng Rui took a few deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
maple。
maple！
Even if he didn't know much about the S1 season, there was no way he wouldn't have heard of this ID.
This was because such an ID was a figure that anyone who was interested in understanding the history of professional esports in the first season of the domestic server would not be able to easily ignore.
It was as if that ID represented the entire era of the S1 season of the Chinese server.
It symbolized the most glorious and legendary period of history in the professional esports circle.
The number one mid laner.
A true legend at the top of the world.
Even …
He was the team captain who led the team all the way to the S1 Season World Finals. He had once defeated Phoenix, who was currently ranked third among the Yonkō (Four Emperors). He had also fought against the leader of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), Han Shihao, for a total of five matches in the BO5 finals. He had regrettably lost by only one line!
People couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when they thought back to that legendary battle record.
At this moment, Ceng Rui finally understood.
Why did An Xin have such unconditional trust in Lin Feng's strength? Why did she say that no mid laner in the National High School League was a match for Lin Feng?
Of course it was.
That was Maple!
Even compared to Shi Hang, who was a top professional mid laner in the S1 season, he was a powerhouse who was a whole level higher!
It was just the National High School League, so what?!
At this time, Ceng Rui's thoughts were in chaos. His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts. He didn't even know how to accuse Lin Feng of hiding his identity. This shocking truth had come out of nowhere. It really took him a while to digest it all.
At this time, Zhang Hao looked around and couldn't help but come up to him and ask cautiously,
"Captain …"
"Um, who's Maple?"
Ceng Rui replied angrily, "You're the one who's asking the wrong question.
"You don't know?"
"Go online and look it up yourself!!"
…
At the same time, Lin Feng and Shi Hang had already moved to the side.
Shi Hang looked at Lin Feng and suddenly asked, "What's wrong?
"You just broke through again?"
As Lin Feng's opponent in the mid lane, Shi Hang could clearly sense that Lin Feng's condition had changed after the third match. Lin Feng's performance had improved after the third match.
Lin Feng scratched his head and admitted frankly.
"Oh, it seems like you've recovered a little."
Shi Hang was silent for a moment. He knew that only Lin Feng was qualified to say something like this.
After the threshold of the professional level, the threshold that stopped most professional players from advancing to the next realm of strength was easily crossed by a certain someone four years ago. Now, there was no such thing as a "breakthrough". It was just a return to his previous state.
"Damn … How can there be a freak like you …"
Eddie Xi, the founder of Zhejiang University's eSports Association and a former top professional mid laner, couldn't help but curse at Lin Feng.
In fact, this kind of scolding was also a common phrase used by the veterans of the S1 season in the professional esports circle.
Back then, Maple was a genius that people couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat.
Lin Feng's face was beaming with joy at this evaluation.
"Yeah, I think so too!"
Suddenly, Shi Hang shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm not sure.
"But it's not enough."
Not enough.
This wasn't the first time Lin Feng had heard these words from someone else.
Lin Feng's expression turned serious. He nodded.
"I know."
…
Shi Hang's "not enough" had two meanings.
First, even though Lin Feng used to be Maple, there were still other geniuses who were as dazzling as him back in the day. Lin Feng's strength was incredible, but at that time, there were other geniuses who were as dazzling as him.
For example, the current leader of the Four Kings, Han Shihao.
The second was that with Lin Feng's current strength and recovery, he would naturally be unstoppable in the National High School League, but if he were to return to the professional scene … he would no longer have the confidence and qualifications he had in the past to be the number one player on the national server.
It was the second threshold after the professional level. Although there weren't many professional players at this level in the professional esports circle, it wasn't too few either.
Shi Hang and Lin Feng both knew that if Lin Feng were to return as Maple … ….
What would it mean to the professional scene, or rather, to Lin Feng himself?
"What do you plan to do with your identity then?"
Shi Hang looked up at Lin Feng.
"Start all over again, or continue using your Maple ID from back then?"
Lin Feng didn't even think about it.
"Of course I'll still use this ID!"
Shi Hang's lips twitched. He'd already guessed it. With Lin Feng's personality, there was no way he would do something so secretive. Back then, he was Maple. Now, he was going to return with that identity.
But …
Here came the problem.
Back then, Maple represented the pride of the entire country. It carried the hopes and expectations of countless players.
If he were to return with that name, he would need to be strong enough to match his glorious ID name.
The current Lin Feng wasn't strong enough.
Lin Feng also understood the meaning of Shi Hang's question. He rubbed his face and smiled brightly at his old friend.
"Don't worry!
When the day comes … I'll be even stronger than I am now! "
He paused for a moment, then added in a serious tone, "No, I'll be even stronger than I am now!
No, I'll be even stronger than before! "
Shi Hang was slightly startled. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Alright.
"Then I'll be waiting to see that day when I win twice in a row."
…
"Speaking of which, I'm a little embarrassed."
Lin Feng rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"I accidentally eliminated Zhejiang University. With your strength … there's no problem for you guys to make it to the national finals this year."
Shi Hang rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Of course."
"If I hadn't met you, we would've been the national champion this year!"
Lin Feng let out a rare dry laugh. "The rest of you from Zhejiang University … How are you feeling now?"
Shi Hang curled his lips. "You don't have to worry about that. If the people I teach don't even have this little bit of mental fortitude, how are they going to compete?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Feng.
"However, your current team members are quite strong."
"Steamed Bun aside, the support Zeng something and that ad-carry girl are both talented. They're good seedlings."
Lin Feng chuckled. His face was full of confidence.
"Of course.
"They are my chosen companions!"
