Originally, they thought that they would have to wait until the finals to see White Westhill's painful suppression, but they didn't expect to see it in Shudu.
Gale Legion had been rooted in Shudu for many years.
It was said that some of the players from The Capital of Glory in Shudu were very homesick, so they pooled a sum of money and bought Gale Legion with Xiao Mo's investment. In just a few short years of rapid development, this guild had become the most powerful guild in Shudu and could speak for the Shudu gaming circle.
There were many theories about the relationship between Gale Legion and The Capital of Glory. Even some of the players from both guilds weren't very clear about it.
One thing was for sure, The Capital of Glory didn't own Gale Legion. Xiao Mo was probably just a major shareholder of Gale Legion. Right now, they were in a relationship of subordinates or allies. However, once Xiao Mo was gone, this relationship would likely not be as harmonious and close as it was now.
On April 1st, April Fool's Day, Ruling Sword's team rushed to Shudu for the second match against Gale Legion.
This was a match that they were almost certain to win, so it was more like a trip to Shudu than a match. Lu Li even brought Lu Xin with him. This girl had been cooped up at home recently and had been clamoring to go out with Lu Li for a long time.
This was an ancient city with more than 3000 years of history. It had Dujiangyan, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Cottage, Golden Sands Ruins, Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, River View Tower, Qingyang Palace and many other places of interest.
The war 200 years ago didn't affect this city, so many places still retained the most primitive style.
After some twists and turns, everyone finally had some free time. [0↑ 9 △ Small ↓ Say △ Net]
Lu Li declined the guide sent by Gale Legion. It seemed like everyone in Gale Legion didn't like Lu Li, and this guide was no exception. As such, Lu Li decided to ignore it. There were so many people in their group anyway, so they wouldn't be easily bullied.
Lu Xin rarely traveled far, especially to a city where the local customs were completely different from Jiangnan.
This city had all the elements that made people love it. Delicious food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful women. In particular, every corner of the city had the unique characteristics of leisure, optimism, tranquility, prosperity, and freedom.
What surprised Lu Li and the others was that there were quite a few of their fans in this city.
Professional players were public figures, and there was almost no such thing as a hidden player. This was why Lu Li dared to use his real name as his in-game name. Their simple disguise didn't fool everyone. After all, everyone knew that today was the day that Ruling Sword would be competing in Shudu.
When a club takes root in a city, it will slowly be influenced by the culture of the city and assimilate with the city. In the end, the city and the club can no longer be distinguished.
For example, the Capital of Glory Club. Some people would directly call it the Capital Club. As soon as they said Capital Club, they would immediately know that they were talking about the Capital of Glory. However, Gale Legion in Shudu was obviously far from this level. From the expressions of these passersby, Lu Li could see that they didn't have much of an identity with Gale Legion.
Perhaps this was what they meant by having roots and culture.
This was indeed a very beautiful city. Perhaps when they were about to leave, they would discover that Shudu's tourism slogan was "A city that you don't want to leave". This wasn't an exaggeration.
The match began in the afternoon.
Both sides knew that this match was no longer about winning or losing, but neither side was passive or lazy.
They gave it their all. This was not only a responsibility to themselves, but also a respect for their opponents. In any case, the reception that Ruling Sword received in Shudu was impeccable.
In the arena, Ruling Sword's first player was Fei Houzi. This guy really needed more practice. Recently, Cat Dad had been officially hired as the Head Coach to give him special training. During the competition, he would also increase the number of times he would appear in the match. Naturally, he would be the first player to start.
Being the first player was the best way to hone a player, so it was often used to train important rookies.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was standing in the waiting area, so he couldn't see Fei Houzi's nervousness at all. His opponent was Flowing Wind, who was a pure damage output Paladin. Logically speaking, it was better for a Mage to stay as far away from a Paladin as possible.
Fei Houzi had never played by the rules, but he actually took the initiative to fight.
Lu Li looked back at Cat Dad, who was looking at the results of his training. He tried not to laugh and comforted him, "Maybe he's training his positioning. He's been practicing this for the past few days."
Cat Dad's face darkened as he pointed at the stage and said angrily, "He's just trying to show off. I've never seen such a stupid player before. This guy is going to kill himself sooner or later. If he's training his positioning, he's just practicing kiting. He's not a melee fighter, so why is he training his positioning?"
"Haha, you actually admire his fearless style the most, don't you?" Lu Li laughed.
For example, it was like a student studying in school. They were usually very good at their studies, but when it came to a big exam, they were completely screwed. This kind of situation happened more often in the professional circle. After all, there was a way to repeat the high school entrance exams, so the cost wasn't that high. However, once they were in a competition, the impact would be huge if they failed.
Fei Houzi was the kind of person who wouldn't even be scalded in boiling water. He had never been nervous before, and his mental fortitude was as good as the veteran Moonlight.
"Haven't you noticed? Flowing Wind is quite strong, but his positioning is his weakness. The monkey isn't completely brainless." Lu Li's observation skills were very sharp, so it was impossible for him not to see Flowing Wind's weakness.
The effect of Fat Monkey's coquettish movements was to completely infuriate Flowing Wind.
You're a melee fighter, so why are you showing off in front of me?
Flowing Wind wouldn't have been so easily angered, but unfortunately, Fei Houzi not only humiliated him with his actions, but also with his words and expressions. Flowing Wind was easily angered, so how could he hold it in?
Chasing after him, desperately chasing after him …
The audience's blood was boiling, especially the Gale Legion fans. They thought that Flowing Wind was chasing after Fei Houzi, but Fei Houzi had already grasped the rhythm.
By the time Flowing Wind calmed down, he didn't have much health left.
On the other hand, Fei Houzi still had half of his health left. A semi-rookie player was toying with a veteran player in the palm of his hand. His true strength wasn't much better than Flowing Wind's.
Gale Legion replaced Flowing Wind with Gaze.
This was a veteran player who had debuted at the same time as Moonlight. Fei Houzi didn't dare to play any tricks anymore. He was very calm, like a student who was following a textbook step by step. If it was recorded, it could be used as a video of a Mage versus a Berserker.
Of course, it was a semi-beginner match, and it was the type of match where a Mage met a strong Warrior.
Gaze was practically suppressing Fei Houzi, and Fei Houzi wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could win against Gaze. He was trying his best to whittle down his opponent's health as much as possible.
When Fei Houzi went down, Moonlight wouldn't let go of this opportunity to fight against an old rival.
After fighting for a while, Gaze was sent down and replaced by Cloudy Leaf. Cloudy Leaf wasn't much weaker than Moonlight, so he naturally wouldn't fall to Moonlight, who only had half of his health left. Both sides took turns being sent down.
The final result was 5: 4. When Lu Li stood on the stage, his health was almost full.
In the group arena, Gale Legion had lost an entire player.
Gale Legion had chosen the map for the team competition, which was their home ground. Although they had lost their last hope of advancing to the next round in the arena, they still chose to play the rest of the game seriously.
This was a jungle map, or rather, a rainforest map. There were huge trees and vines everywhere. The complexity of the terrain was probably the highest among the nine maps.
No one knew how long Gale Legion had practiced on this map, but since they dared to use this map as a competition map, they obviously had a certain level of confidence.
