Sun Zheping!
Players who had only played Glory for two or three years might not have heard of this name, but veterans who had played Glory for five years or more would definitely know of this name, especially if they were a Berserker. If they didn't know of Sun Zheping, then they were probably just like Mo Fan, who only entertained himself.
When Ye Xiu called out this person's name, apart from Tang Rou and Baozi, everyone else was stunned.
In this room, apart from these two, everyone else had played Glory for a long time. Looking at this person, they all recognized him.
A God like Sun Zheping had of course appeared on TV, in newspapers, and online. However, because none of the people present had any real contact with this great god, no one recognized Sun Zheping the moment he entered the room. Now that his name was called out, everyone looked again. The more they looked, the more they realized that it really was Sun Zheping!
Lou Guanning, of course, knew this person the best. Sun Zheping, the former number one Berserker, was much more famous than the current Yu Feng. Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale, before the Golden Generation entered the Alliance, had always been the undisputed best duo. The two's greatest achievement was in Season 3, when they led Hundred Blossoms to the finals. But in the end, they were defeated by Ye Qiu's Team Excellent Era, achieving three consecutive championships in the Excellent Era.
Sun Zheping, seeing Ye Qiu grit his teeth, obviously had a good reason. That was the closest he had ever come to winning the championship, but in the end, it was destroyed by Ye Qiu. After that, in Season 5, when Hundred Blossoms made a comeback, Sun Zheping, because of a hand injury, left the scene midway through the season. After the season ended, he quietly retired and never returned. For Team Hundred Blossoms to reach the finals in Season 5 and Season 7, it could be said that Zhang Jiale was the only one who was crazy. Sun Zheping only had one chance to do so.
Who would have thought that in that match, it would be between two of Glory's top Gods? For a moment, everyone fell into shock. When they came back to their senses, they all looked at Sun Zheping's left hand.
As the level of Glory's competitive scene increased, the effects of injuries became more and more obvious. Fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. For pro players, these were all critical areas that required them to be in good condition. Perhaps some pain wasn't unbearable, but in such a high-level Pro League, any kind of pain could cause a player's movements to change. Of course, a player's condition couldn't be guaranteed.
There were many players who had suffered from injuries, but the one with the greatest influence and fame was still Sun Zheping. The injury to his left hand caused him to not play for half a season. In the end, he even retired quietly. It was obviously very serious.
It had been a full four years since Sun Zheping's injury. Now that this person had suddenly appeared here and engaged in a high-level duel with Ye Qiu, could it be that this person's hand injury was no longer a problem?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Sun Zheping's left hand. In the end, they saw a layer of snow-white bandages wrapped around his left hand.
"Ah!" Then everyone heard a scream. The source of the scream was actually Baozi.
"This is … the highest profound meaning of the Evil King's Flame Killing Fist, Black Dragon Flame Killing Wave!" Baozi said in astonishment.
"Baozi, don't spout nonsense!" Chen Guo said angrily. The injury to Sun Zheping's left hand was definitely a huge scar in his heart. Using it to ridicule him was really inhumane, even though she knew that Baozi definitely didn't mean it. This was because she saw Baozi looking at his boss, Ye Xiu, with concern. Did this guy really think that Sun Zheping would be able to summon the Demon Realm's flames and then kill and devour Ye Xiu just because Sun Zheping removed the bandages?
"Cough, your hand is better?" Ye Xiu probably also felt that Baozi's words were a bit inappropriate this time, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"It's not that good." Sun Zheping looked at his left hand and said, "But at least I beat you."
"Aiyo! How arrogant! "Ye Xiu slammed the table." Do you want another round? Little Tang, give me your account card. "
"I don't think that's necessary." Sun Zheping smiled. His smile looked quite sly. If you wanted to beat someone forever, you had to beat them once and then ignore them forever. This was a very effective method. Of course, Sun Zheping and Ye Xiu wouldn't have only faced each other once. They were both the most dazzling Gods in the early stages of the Alliance. But today, it seemed like he didn't want to give Ye Xiu another chance.
"It's actually Senior Sun Zheping. Sorry for the lack of hospitality!" Lou Guanning finally found a chance to interject. He hurriedly said the words that a host should say. Even though he also played as a Berserker, he didn't have many fans of the former God Sun Zheping. All he showed was respect to a normal senior.
And then …
"Senior, are you preparing to make a comeback?" Lou Guanning asked.
Even though Sun Zheping was an ancient God-like figure, he was still young when he became a pro player. Right now, he was only 25 years old. Nowadays, the training of pro players was becoming more and more scientific. Their competitive lifespan was also becoming longer and longer. In the past, it seemed like they would definitely retire, but now, many people were still fighting in the pro scene. Their condition might not be the same as it was in the past, but it was still too early to say that they were retiring. At 25 years old, they could definitely return to the scene and shine. Tyranny's strong results this season had almost made people forget the age of the three main players on the team.
"Return …" Sun Zheping's face showed a trace of bitterness. He slowly lifted his bandaged left hand. "This hand of mine can't handle the high intensity of a pro match anymore."
"But just now …" Chen Guo was puzzled. The battle between Sun Zheping and Ye Xiu just now definitely wasn't any weaker than a pro match. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have been so stunned.
"Of course I can occasionally, but not for too long. Otherwise, do you really think I'd be afraid of a match with his Battle Mage? "Sun Zheping said.
The former number one Berserker had left the scene for a long time due to his injury, but he was still very arrogant.
But in that instant, the practice room became extremely quiet. How much of the pain hidden under his arrogance could the bystanders understand?
It had already been four years since he left the scene. Sun Zheping could still beat Ye Qiu, which meant that he had never given up on Glory. In these four years, in an unknown corner, how much effort had he put in for Glory? In the end, this was the only result. Everyone present could feel this bitterness.
"Old Lou, you actually cheated. Isn't that too despicable?" In the stifling atmosphere, someone suddenly said this. The person who spoke was Lou Guanning's bad childhood friend.
"Ahem … …" Lou Guanning coughed. So this problem hadn't been ignored? But after seeing Sun Zheping and God's match, Lou Guanning calmly admitted: "I'm not senior's opponent."
After saying this, Lou Guanning didn't pay attention to his bad childhood friend. Instead, as if he had made an important decision, he suddenly turned his head to Sun Zheping and asked: "Senior, are you interested in joining our Team Heavenly Swords?"
"What?" Sun Zheping was surprised, "Didn't you hear clearly? I can't handle the intensity of a pro match."
"I heard clearly, but I also heard and saw that playing once in a while shouldn't be a problem, right?" Lou Guanning said.
Sun Zheping continued to be surprised: "You guys even need this kind of player?"
Any pro player was a huge expense for a team. Spending money to support a player who could only appear in a limited number of matches, and who might even be forced to retire from the frontlines due to sudden injuries, wasn't something a team was willing to do. Hearing Lou Guanning's invitation, Sun Zheping was surprised, but not pleasantly surprised. This was because he could more or less guess that Lou Guanning's invitation contained a lot of sympathy. This was something he wasn't willing to accept.
"Of course we need you. Our team really needs a high-level senior like you to guide us. Even if you don't appear in a match, we still need you. "Lou Guanning said.
Sun Zheping hesitated. This statement was valid, but it could also just be an excuse for the other side to help him.
At this moment, Ye Xiu also spoke up: "That's right. I've said it before. Your team should have a veteran. Even if his skill isn't all that great, he'll still be of great help."
"Who are you saying isn't all that great?" Sun Zheping's face darkened.
"Don't take it personally." Ye Xiu reminded him.
"Senior, please think about it!" Lou Guanning's expression was very urgent, but it wasn't an act. Lou Guanning wouldn't mind helping Sun Zheping out of sympathy. As the owner of a team that deeply loved Glory and was a pro player himself, he clearly wouldn't be like other owners who only looked at their team from a business perspective. However, the urgency he displayed right now was because he really did want a God like Sun Zheping to help his team. If Sun Zheping really did recover from his injury and return, Lou Guanning would carefully invite him. Even if he invited him, he might not be able to handle it well.
As a result, the newly joined Team Heavenly Swords didn't follow Ye Xiu's suggestion of inviting a veteran player with some skill to oversee the team. It wasn't that Lou Guanning couldn't do it. With Heavenly Swords' financial strength and their momentum after joining the Alliance, it wouldn't be difficult to find such a player. In reality, it was only because of Team Heavenly Swords' uniqueness that they didn't do it.
As for Sun Zheping, he had skill, but because of his injury, he couldn't compete like a normal player. To him, this was very cruel, but to Lou Guanning, this type of person couldn't be more suitable for their Heavenly Swords.
"Join us!" Lou Guanning continued to persuade him with a sincere attitude.
Sun Zheping could feel his attitude and was clearly beginning to be tempted.
"I can try." Sun Zheping finally nodded.
"Great!" Lou Guanning was excited, "Senior, do you have any requests? Should we go talk about the contract now? But this season's transfer window has already closed. Senior won't be able to compete until next season. "
"I know." Sun Zheping nodded.
"Hm? Then in this half of the season, how about you come to Happy and play?" Ye Xiu suddenly said.
