"Then, can Master Huang comment on Ruling Sword's team?" The reporter continued to rub salt into Ruling Sword's wounds.
This was something that couldn't be helped. After losing the competition, it was still a sad thing. They were covered in wounds, and it hurt as much as it didn't matter.
"Then I'll simply express my personal opinion." Master Huang emphasized the word 'personal' before continuing, "This is a new team that doesn't seem like a new team. This is a team that is full of loopholes, yet invulnerable. No matter who the opponent is, as long as you look down on them, you will taste the bitter fruit of defeat."
In fact, when Lu Li thought about it, he realized the sinister intentions behind Master Huang's praise.
This was because Ruling Sword had many more opponents, and they were all very serious opponents. It could even be said that some of them were unscrupulous opponents, which really caused a lot of trouble for Ruling Sword.
However, even if he knew the meaning behind Master Huang's words, there was nothing Lu Li could do.
There were a few questions that were asked to The Capital of Glory, but with Master Huang around, they were easily answered. There were some sparks among the targeted questions.
"In the next match, we will give it our all. No matter what the result is, we won't admit defeat," Demigod Asura said, gritting his teeth. His Warlock had been the first to be killed by the snow monster in the competition, and he was confident that he could defeat Lu Li.
"There will be many more opportunities in the future. I'm very happy to have such an opponent. Only when the opponent is strong can our Glory Capital become stronger," White Westhill said with a hidden meaning in his words. Clearly, he wasn't going to be nice.
Ethereal Wind was a new graduate, and he expressed his admiration for Lu Li with a slightly shy expression.
"In this match, I made a big mistake. I will reflect on it and look forward to meeting Ruling Sword again in future matches," Blood Dagger said, not bothering to hide his gloomy expression.
He blamed himself for this match. He thought that if he had discovered Lu Li and the snow monster behind him, he would have been able to lure the snow monster away with his speed. Even if they had to fight against five Ruling Sword with four teammates, they were confident that they could win, or at least not lose so badly.
In fact, as the commander, Xiao Mo couldn't see the snow monster in time, so how could Blood Dagger be responsible?
Moreover, there was no way that Lu Li would allow Blood Dagger to lure the snow monster away.
After that, there were many questions about the details of the match. Fortunately, the Capital of Glory had been through a lot, so even if they were angry, they could hide it well. With Master Huang there, no one dared to lose their minds and shout in front of the instructor.
After answering the questions, the Capital of Glory could have chosen to stay and listen. However, today's situation was clearly not suitable, so no one said anything about them leaving.
After the people from Glory Capital left, the focus was now on the people from Ruling Sword, the victors of this match. The atmosphere of the press conference had completely changed. Even the reporters seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if the dark clouds had cleared up and the sun and moon could be seen.
The opening was still the usual congratulations for the victory, followed by the usual questions about the match.
"This match was won by luck," Lu Li said, no matter what angle he looked at it from, he had to admit this point. Although deep down, he felt that he didn't need to use his brain to come up with a strategy, didn't he need to use his stamina to lure the monsters, and didn't he need to use his strength to keep Xiao Mo here …
Moreover, admitting that it was luck wasn't without its benefits.
If they had really used their strength to defeat the Capital of Glory, then it was likely that Ruling Sword would have been pushed to the position of Capital of Glory.
What was Glory Capital's current position? Don't look down on them just because they looked like a giant in the martial arts world. Anyone who saw them would be afraid of them, but only they themselves knew the pain they were in. Being the enemy of the whole world was the best way to describe their situation. As long as they encountered something, no matter what they did, they had to kill Glory Capital first.
However, the Capital of Glory was a big business, so they could withstand many people going against them. Sometimes, they could even defeat these so-called alliances.
Ruling Sword couldn't afford this kind of treatment.
"Then what do you think about the next match?" the reporter asked.
"We will do our best," Lu Li's answer was simple and perfunctory, but it lacked a lot of explosive points. This guy was already slippery to begin with, but after entering the industry for half a year, he had become even more impeccable.
After the reporter asked a few questions, some people were too lazy to pay attention to Lu Li and turned to ask other people.
"Fei Houzi, you challenged Xiao Mo. What were you thinking at the time?" Everyone present was worth an interview, but no one could compare to Fei Houzi. So, after Lu Li answered a few questions, the focus turned to Fei Houzi.
"I was stupid at the time …" Fei Houzi replied with a face full of regret.
According to the normal routine, Fei Houzi's answer was that he had admired the seniors in the industry for a long time. Although he knew that he wasn't strong enough, he still had the courage to challenge them. In the end, he even wanted to thank the seniors for their advice.
The reporters laughed. No one expected Fei Houzi's answer to be that he was stupid.
"Let's skip this question for now. If you were to evaluate your own performance, how do you feel about it now?" The reporters continued to ask. Since Fei Houzi was so amusing, they didn't mind asking him a few more questions.
"I did very well. But I'll definitely do better the next time I encounter a battle like this," Fei Houzi said shamelessly.
The reporters laughed again.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with what Fei Houzi said. It was just that it sounded ridiculous in this kind of situation and atmosphere. In fact, when Fei Houzi fought with Xiao Mo, he was basically familiarizing himself with Xiao Mo's fighting style in the first half of the battle. It was only towards the end that he started to fight back. Of course, Fei Houzi would do better the next time he encountered a battle like this.
"So what do you think of this match?" Since they couldn't get anything out of Lu Li, the reporters saw that Fei Houzi spoke so straightforwardly (without thinking), so they started to ask Fei Houzi questions instead of Lu Li.
"Our boss is so strong. I still can't believe that we actually won," Fei Houzi said without hesitation.
"If it was a normal battle, do you think Ruling Sword could have won against The Capital of Glory?" the reporter asked.
"It's like a dream." Fei Houzi had already forgotten what Lu Li had told everyone before the meeting. He was completely immersed in the conversation with the reporters and was already in the zone. It was unrealistic to expect Fei Houzi to suddenly mature.
Since the reporters were able to lead the conversation to challenge Xiao Mo, it wasn't strange for him to say what he really thought.
Then, it was time for the others to be interviewed. For example, Moonlight returned to the stage after a period of time and suddenly became a member of the championship team. The efforts and opportunities that he had gone through were enough for the reporters to write an article about.
The other rookies were the same. They had become a member of the championship team in their first time participating in the league. Many professional players were probably envious of them.
Although Mu Qiu didn't play much – he didn't even have the opportunity to participate in the team competition – he won the match straight away. He accepted this result calmly and didn't feel any regret. This person was quite pragmatic and had a good mentality. He knew his own situation and knew what position the club needed him to be in.
Even if he was a substitute, he was still a substitute for the championship team.
From a second or third-rate player who didn't even have the opportunity to go on stage, to now, he had the opportunity to go on stage almost every time. Mu Qiu was very satisfied. At this time, he still didn't know how strong he would be in the future. He was the most humble person in the audience.
When the interview was about to end, Lu Li paused after making a statement.
The reporters were keenly aware that this could be a prelude to a big reveal. They all held their breath and were very curious about what Lu Li was going to say.
Was he going to announce his relationship with Water Fairy? Today's occasion was indeed quite good, but the key was that Water Fairy wasn't present. What was the point of a unilateral announcement? Moreover, based on everyone's understanding of Lu Li, even if he was in a relationship, he wouldn't be so high profile.
Or perhaps Ruling Sword had poached a god to join them?
Recently, they hadn't heard of any god players jumping ship. Even if they were going to announce a new player, it would be appropriate to have the person involved present.
So, it was likely to be something related to this match.
What was it?
Lu Li paused for a moment, then slowly said, "We at Ruling Sword announce that in five days, the final match map for the team competition will be …"
Could it be?
The reporters' eyes widened and their breathing began to quicken. Some of them even dropped their notebooks without realizing it.
"We will continue to use Snowfield!"
Could it be that they had misheard? The reporters looked at each other and saw the same doubt in their eyes. Since everyone had heard the same sentence, it meant that Ruling Sword had really made this decision and had already made an official announcement.
This was a press conference, after all. There was no possibility of going back on what was said.
The reporters saw that the other Ruling Sword players didn't look surprised when they heard Lu Li's words, so it probably wasn't a decision made by Lu Li alone. When the reporters continued to ask about the implications of this announcement, Lu Li refused to explain why he had made this decision. He followed the flow of the press conference and left with his team members.
Ruling Sword stayed in the capital for a night, but the reception they received afterwards was more perfunctory.
It wasn't that The Capital of Glory was neglecting them in any material way. The hotel was the best and the supporting services were also the best. They were neglecting them because they couldn't see their higher-ups. Obviously, no one was willing to hang around Ruling Sword, so some of the originally scheduled projects were naturally cancelled.
However, just because The Capital of Glory didn't mean that Ruling Sword couldn't do whatever they wanted.
Everyone was drunk that night. Even Lu Li, who had good self-control, was knocked out. Fortunately, there were a lot of people here, so there wouldn't be any major problems.
The strongest dark horse in the past ten years!
This was the headline that the media used the most on the second day, and it was also the more formal one.
There were also some that were full of gimmicks, such as "Ruling Sword Ascends to the Throne of The Capital of Glory 6 to 1", "Overnight Net Worth Over 100 Million, The Capital of Glory Is No More" and so on. In fact, the content was more or less the same, and they were all relatively detailed reports of the match.
These news not only made the headlines of the major gaming media and portals, but even the mainstream media also came out to join in the fun. It seemed that China had been peaceful for the past two days, and everyone's attention was focused on this esports competition.
Chen Guo was finally able to hold her head high. During breakfast, she held a glass of milk in front of the computer and browsed the web. She didn't even take a sip of the milk until it was completely cold. She just sat there and laughed.
Because the score gap was a little large, this season's league was coming to an end. All kinds of awards emerged, and some even directly selected the winners. The trophy and prize money were directly given to the winners.
Lu Li's trophy was handed over to his sister to take care of. She couldn't sit still, so she had to have something to do.
The most popular candidate for the best newcomer was Ruling Sword's Fei Houzi, but in the end, it was very likely that it would be Kitty Likes Meat. This was because Fei Houzi had already won the Newcomer's Cup in the Magic Cup. Kitty Likes Meat's performance wasn't any worse than Fei Houzi's, but she seemed to be a little inferior in this match.
However, with the momentum of being the champion team, there was no one outside of Ruling Sword that could compete with her.
There were other titles like Most Beautiful Player, Most Handsome Player, Best Commander, Most Outstanding Player, Most Disruptive Player, Most Unlucky Player … As long as there was a reason, and someone sponsored the prize money, they would make a trophy and give it to the winner.
It was worth mentioning that Master Huang received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
This award was only given to veteran players who announced their retirement. This time, it seemed like Master Huang was really going to retire. From now on, the list of players reported by The Capital of Glory would no longer appear.
In fact, it didn't matter if he retired or not. If it wasn't for Lu Li, he wouldn't have suddenly stepped onto the stage. Even if he didn't step onto the stage, he would have officially announced his retirement after half a year. He would replace the original Chief Instructor of the Youth Training Camp and focus his energy on training new players.
