In Round 30 of the Pro League, Happy was on home ground. His opponent was Seaside, ranked last on the leaderboard. Seaside's morale was low, and the players were all worried about their future. There were very few fans following the team to the away game.
Ye Xiu was the first to go up in the individual competition as usual. He won cleanly. Then Luo Ji went up and finally won the first match of his professional career. The crowd was filled with joy as they congratulated Luo Ji.
Then came Wei Chen.
The crowd was excited again. It had been a long time since they'd seen this old player. They couldn't remember the last time he'd appeared. Who would've thought that he'd appear once again?
Wei Chen arrogantly waved at the crowd. The crowd responded enthusiastically, but the result wasn't as they'd hoped.
In the end, Wei Chen's team lost the third individual match.
Even though Seaside didn't have any more goals, there were some players who were thinking about their future and wanted to attract more attention. There were also some who did their best to perform on stage. Wei Chen met one this time. He hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, so he lost due to a moment of carelessness.
After all, actual matches and normal training were two different things. Normal team training and sparring with teammates couldn't replace the rhythm of a professional match every week.
"Old Wei, can you still do it?" When Wei Chen left the stage, many people in Xiaoshan Stadium shouted.
It wasn't mockery. It was a friendly joke played by Wei Chen's fans. Even though these words stabbed into Wei Chen's Achilles' heel, the shameless Wei Chen could take this kind of joke.
"What the hell do you guys know? This is called strategy," Wei Chen cursed back. However, how could his voice be mentioned in the same breath with so many people present? Pitifully, his voice could not be heard. He could only hear everyone continue to joke with him. Wei Chen helplessly returned to the player area.
"You can't do it, Old Wei!" His teammate Fang Rui also followed the crowd's rhythm.
"What do you know? This is called strategy." This time, the person who mocked him could finally hear it.
"What tactics? Please enlighten me." Fang Rui asked.
"Stop messing around." Ye Xiu butted in. "Old Wei will be very upset if he loses the competition. Don't agitate him anymore. He's going to cry."
"Bah!" Wei Chen spat at Ye Xiu.
"How is it?" Ye Xiu sat on the side and asked in a serious tone.
"If you can do it, why can't I?" Wei Chen glanced at him.
"I won 29 rounds in a row," Ye Xiu said.
"Wait for me to show you how awesome I am too." Wei Chen said.
"Of course. I asked you to come because I want you to be awesome," Ye Xiu said.
"I have to say, you've found the right person." Wei Chen said.
"Good luck."
"I'll get into the zone soon."
The last two sentences were said in a joking tone.
"It's our turn now!" Fang Rui had been talking like this ever since he became the third player in the group arena. The group arena lineup of Tang Rou, Su Mucheng, and Fang Rui wasn't something that Seaside could resist. Just the two of them were able to defeat Seaside easily. Seaside hadn't even been able to see the core of their team, Boundless Sea, in the individual competition.
During the halftime break, Happy was actively preparing for the team competition. As for Seaside, they all sat in the player area with their own thoughts. They didn't even communicate.
This was a team that had completely fallen apart. Last season, their results hadn't been like this, but this season, they had plummeted. Zhao Yang retired and sold Hai Wuliang. Seaside said that they were shedding their burdens, but the reality was very different from what they expected.
They didn't just shed their burdens on finances and resources. They also shed the spirit and belief that had always been their team.
Boundless Sea's significance to the team wasn't just because he had high stats, but also because he was a spiritual pillar. Zhao Yang's retirement was a huge blow to the team. But then, even the character Boundless Sea was sold. This double hit truly made the team lose the courage and confidence to continue fighting.
First broken, then rebuilt. Seaside had broken too fiercely. In one fell swoop, the team was completely destroyed. This team, perhaps from the moment Hai Wuliang was sold, had fallen apart.
At the same time, the most watched and televised match had entered the climax of the group arena.
Blue Rain vs Hundred Blossoms.
Huang Shaotian vs Yu Feng.
Former teammates, now the core of their respective teams.
And now, it was finally time for the two teams to draw their swords and face each other, deciding the life and death of this group arena.
Troubling Rain still had 96% health, while Blossoming Chaos was at 100%. With such a small difference, it could be seen as a decisive battle on the same starting line.
"Match start!" With Pan Lin's announcement, the two characters had already entered the map. What was surprising was that the public chat wasn't immediately filled with a large amount of text, which surprised everyone.
The instant the match started, the broadcast had already sent the close-up shots to the public chat. But why wasn't there a large amount of text?
"What's going on?" Pan Lin was astonished. "This is a match with Huang Shaotian! It's just the start of the match, and there's no need to fight. Why isn't there a message in the public chat? Ah! Seven seconds have already passed, and there's still not a single message! What's going on? Could it be that something happened? Did something happen in the player booth? Could it be that Huang Shaotian suddenly fainted? Is anyone going to take a look? "
"I think … …" Li Yibo opened his mouth. "Huang Shaotian hasn't sent a message yet, but you looked like Huang Shaotian just now."
"… …" Pan Lin was speechless. Fortunately, his worries didn't need to continue. In the public chat, Huang Shaotian finally sent a message.
"We've met again on the battlefield. But after so long, you've probably gotten used to this feeling! Come, let's have a good fight. Let's see if your greatsword is faster, or if my lightsaber is faster. "
At the same time the message jumped out, Troubling Rain had already rushed out. Her lightsaber, Ice Rain, emitted a faint blue light, and left behind afterimages, as if the rain had frozen and dripped down.
It was just a short message, but for Huang Shaotian, this was already something he had never seen before. Such an abnormal reaction seemed to indicate that he wasn't used to being enemies with this former teammate of his, right? Even though Yu Feng had already left Team Blue Rain for more than a year and a half.
"Sorry, I can't walk down this path with everyone anymore … …"
Every time he met Yu Feng again, Huang Shaotian's mind would always echo with the words this guy had said to everyone before leaving Team Blue Rain.
"I want to see how far I can go with the greatsword in my hands," Yu Feng said.
How far could he go?
In these two seasons, everyone had seen it. Team Hundred Blossoms, under Yu Feng's leadership, had rebuilt the Berserker and Spitfire combination of the past. The Alliance's number one Berserker had left Blue Rain and joined Hundred Blossoms. He was still the number one Berserker. But in his most inexperienced and innocent season, he had forever been handed over to Blue Rain.
That was Team Blue Rain's most beautiful summer.
In Season 6, Team Blue Rain defeated Micrograss in the finals and won the championship that year.
At that time, Yu Feng was only a rookie in the team. He wasn't like Lu Hanwen, who took on the heavy responsibility of being the team's attacker in his rookie year. At that time, his position was still between the main roster and the substitute player. He was a rotating player.
However, Blue Rain's championship was partly due to his contributions. Everyone thought highly of his talent and looked forward to his growth.
Sure enough, he quickly became an indispensable and solid member of Blue Rain. He stood in front of everyone and became Team Blue Rain's frontline.
Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for two seasons. In Season 9, Yu Feng took the initiative to ask for a transfer and leave Blue Rain. His reason, as mentioned above, was to create an era that belonged to him.
"But if that's the case, what does Blue Rain mean to you?"
Huang Shaotian was the only one who would ask such a question without hiding anything.
"Thank you everyone for taking care of me all this time …" Yu Feng didn't answer the question. He left just like that. Huang Shaotian, who wanted to ask what was going on, was pulled back by Yu Wenzhou.
A true core position, a team that truly belonged to him.
Perhaps some people didn't care about these things, but some people felt that they were very important. And Blue Rain couldn't give Yu Feng these things. Even if they had a very beautiful summer, even if Yu Feng led Blue Rain like a locomotive for two seasons, these were not what he wanted the most.
He wanted to use the heavy sword in his hands to create an era that belonged to him!
Even when Huang Shaotian asked him "What does Blue Rain mean to him", he didn't regret it or feel guilty. What does it mean? Every time he met Team Blue Rain and met Blue Rain players, he would think of this question.
He didn't know what it meant, so he didn't answer at that time. But now, he found the answer.
In the past.
Blue Rain was already in the past for him.
He had laughed there, he had sweated there, he had been moved there. But it was all in the past. Now, he wore Team Hundred Blossoms' battle robes and was this team's captain. He had already waved goodbye to the past. He was using his sword to fight for what he wanted.
And no one could stop this, not even Huang Shaotian, who was a talkative person, but in reality, he wasn't that annoying.
If he stood in front of him, even a Sword Saint would be knocked down.
Blossoming Chaos charged forward!
There was no detour, no pause. The two characters quickly met in the center of the map. Sword light, without the slightest hesitation, clashed.
Ahhhhhhh!
Blossoming Chaos seemed to be roaring. In terms of strength, the Berserker obviously had the upper hand over the Blade Master, not to mention that he had already activated Berserk. Blossoming Chaos' eyes were crimson red, his entire body boiling. The Silver weapon in his hand, Flower Burial, swallowed up Troubling Rain with an aura that could bury everything.
