Tomorrow, it was The Capital of Glory's turn to show them what it meant to be awesome. The Donghua Cup had already entered the stage of deciding the third place.
Why was it said to be third place?
It was naturally because in the top three, the Gangnam Royals had drawn a bye. This left The Capital of Glory and Ruling Sword to fight each other. The loser would be third place, and the winner would fight the Gangnam Royals for the final championship.
Retribution came very quickly.
The fans who supported The Capital of Glory were happy to see The Capital of Glory beat Ruling Sword. As for whether or not the two could be compared, they didn't care.
There was another group of people who were even happier – the Gangnam Royals.
The Gangnam Royals had a double blessing. One was that they had taken the Stronghold from Grand Hegemony and became one of the few clubs to own a Stronghold. Moreover, they weren't like Azure Guard, who cooperated with others to run the Stronghold. They completely owned it.
The second blessing was that they actually drew a bye in the Donghua Cup.
At the very least, he was always number two. This made Heart of War feel like he was once again standing on the club leaderboard that was only below one person and above tens of thousands of people.
Recently, he often had tears streaming down his face. When he thought about how his club had fallen to this point, it seemed like it was all related to provoking Lu Li. Why did they suppress him? Not only did they not suppress him to death, but they also dragged him into a pit.
Now, his Gangnam Royals had given up on opposing Ruling Sword. It could even be said that when they saw Ruling Sword, they would take a detour.
If they couldn't provoke them, then couldn't they just hide?
There were a few times when they were fighting Wild PVP and Bosses. The Gangnam Royals were clearly fighting with the other clubs, but when the Gangnam Royals saw that Ruling Sword had arrived, they would immediately pack up and retreat. Sometimes, there were only a few Ruling Sword players, and they would also run away.
There were also times when two groups of people had a conflict in the Wild.
The game was lawless, so they fought. If they didn't want to eat, then they would fight. Worst case scenario, they would just die.
However, when the Gangnam Royals saw that one of their opponents had a Ruling Sword guild badge, they immediately cried out that it was a misunderstanding. Then, without another word, they turned around and ran like cowards.
Where was the dignity of a super club?!
Jianghu was full of people mocking Heart of War, saying that he wasn't a man at all.
Heart of War didn't care. He watched as his club stood up again day by day. This feeling of rebuilding after destruction was very good.
The Gangnam Royals was an old club. They had been famous for a while. When Heart of War took over, they were already ranked in the top three in the gaming circle. This feeling of being high above made him look down on everyone. He had gotten it too easily, and his feelings for the club weren't that deep.
But now, day and night, he was thinking about how to get out of this predicament.
His hair fell out in clumps. After almost all of the club's competitors had left the club, he finally thought it through.
The first principle was to not clash with Ruling Sword. The second principle was to set their sights on the experts in the Mercenary Group and recruit them with money. The third principle was that if the first and second principles went against each other, the first principle would prevail.
After the rules were set, they were strictly enforced. If a club member had a conflict with a Ruling Sword member, they would be kicked out of the club without any rewards.
Those who encountered Ruling Sword and immediately retreated, as long as they took a screenshot to the club's management, they would receive an additional psychological comfort prize.
Those who retreated like this wouldn't feel wronged. After all, many people's hearts could be comforted by the money.
There were also some people who didn't want to live without shame and chose to leave the club. However, Heart of War didn't care. He had money and the resources of his entire family was supporting him. As long as he developed the club well, it meant that there was no problem with his ability to inherit. He would be the future head of the family.
If one didn't manage the household, one wouldn't know the cost of daily necessities. Heart of War was a blessing in disguise.
The Donghua Cup was relatively stingy. They weren't willing to pay for air tickets or arrange hotels, so the competition was held on their own turf. After all, this wasn't the era of keyboards anymore.
The competition between Ruling Sword and The Capital of Glory was naturally of the highest standard. It looked like they were fighting for the championship.
This was indeed the case. Although the Gangnam Royals were strong, if he didn't get a bye, he would be matched up against either Ruling Sword or The Capital of Glory.
Of course, Lu Li wouldn't miss this kind of occasion. It wasn't that everyone didn't care about the Donghua Cup, but they didn't care about the rankings as much as other competitions. After all, the biggest goal was to train the club's new players. However, if their own club could win the championship, it would still be a big event worth celebrating.
On Ruling Sword's side, there were Short Road, Fei Houzi, Mu Qiu and two other young players. On the side of The Capital of Glory, there were all new players who had never made their debut. The former had two and a half players who had already made their debut, while the latter had strong players.
Lu Li's appearance here wasn't just to encourage his own team.
He also wanted to use this competition to observe his opponents. He was curious about the few players from The Capital of Glory. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will always be victorious. Now that he was studying the new players from The Capital of Glory, he was also evaluating the future of The Capital of Glory.
On the side of The Capital of Glory, there were also five players.
The Warrior, Dragon Flame, looked like he was in his early twenties. It was said that he was the direct disciple of Master Huang, the instructor of The Capital of Glory's youth training camp. His performance in this competition was the most eye-catching. He had defeated official players many times and was the main force of The Capital of Glory's arena.
This person's style was strange and varied, and he had a lot of combat experience.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Donghua Cup would be Master Huang's debut after he retired.
He would probably be seen in this year's professional league.
Moonlight's evaluation of this person was very high. He thought that this person was a natural Berserker and already had the strength of a top player.
Lu Li had also seen Dragon Flame's match before, and at that time, he felt very confused.
In his previous life, he hadn't done much research on this player's level. He only knew that he had risen very quickly and smoothly, but now that he saw it, he felt that it was incredible. This was actually a new player. Most players couldn't beat him. It was no wonder that everyone unanimously praised the The Capital of Glory Youth Training Camp.
If it was Ruling Sword, if Moonlight decided to quit, then he really wouldn't have a Warrior that he could bring out.
No, it was more accurate to say that there were many positions that had no successors.
The second player that Lu Li paid attention to was a Thief that had been pushed out by The Capital of Glory. He was a Thief himself, so naturally, he paid more attention to his peers.
This person was called Soothing Little Ink. It was said that he had been training in The Capital of Glory for seven years. Now, it was finally time for him to debut. His performance was very amazing, and the impact that he brought to Lu Li was second only to Dragon Flame.
Seven years!
How many seven years could a person have in their life? Lu Li was horrified just thinking about it.
Even in his previous life, when he had nothing and was asked to train for seven years, then told that he could become a professional player, he wasn't sure if he would accept it.
However, although he had been training for seven years, this little ink little ink was still very young. The information showed that he was 18 years old, which meant that he had entered the youth training camp at the age of 11 and started training.
The Priest, Sky's Darkness, had a similar style to White Westhill. He was probably learning from White Westhill.
This player's strength wasn't as good as the first two, but his performance was quite average. He would be a main Priest in any club.
What attracted Lu Li to him was his background.
He was actually someone who came from the Common District like Lu Li. His luck was that he met White Westhill, and White Westhill didn't know what he saw in him, but White Westhill took a liking to him and took him on the path of a professional player.
From then on, this orphan from the Common District changed the course of his life.
After training in the training camp for six years, he appeared in the eyes of the world. His experience was an inspirational legend.
The rest of the players also performed well, showing the strength of the The Capital of Glory Training Camp. In contrast, the few rookies on Ruling Sword's side, apart from Short Road, weren't good enough.
The Priest, Childe Beauty, looked like a man's ID, but was actually a woman.
She was only 14 years old, and this year, she joined Ruling Sword's Sharpening Hall as an annoying little girl. This annoying person wasn't what Lu Li called her, but rather the number one handsome male in the gaming circle, Wander.
Childe Beauty was Wander's diehard fan.
She was the type that would drool at the sight of Wander. She was infatuated to the point where there was no limit. She originally wanted to play as a Mage, but Lu Li advised her to play as a Priest after considering all aspects. In fact, this little girl was more suited to play as a Priest, but in the end, she wouldn't agree no matter what.
Wander said that it would be great if there was someone standing behind to heal her.
Lu Li and the four Sharpening Hall instructors took turns to try and persuade her for a few days. They even said that they would kick her out of the training camp, but it didn't work. Wander just said a few words, and this little girl immediately chose to play as a Priest. She would fight with anyone who tried to stop her.
She named herself Childe Beauty, not because she was narcissistic, but because she used her ID to praise Wander's beauty.
After entering the training camp, her performance was very good. She was very talented and trained very hard.
However, she had a strange habit. Every morning, she would run over to see what Wander was wearing, and then run back to the dormitory to change her clothes. No one knew how many clothes she had stored, but she would always be able to wear matching outfits with Wander.
It was probably because of the influence of some rotten articles on the forums, but this little girl hated Weilan Haifeng the most. She thought that he was coveting Wander's beauty.
This little girl made friends with Canmeng Hachi Chan and Lu Xin. The four of them were very close, and Lu Li couldn't do anything about it. In this competition, she was one of the youngest competitors. She was only 14 years old. She was young, and her training time was short. Naturally, her strength wasn't outstanding, but her potential was limitless.
The Warrior Soulless Grass was more introverted. Most of the time, when he spoke to people, he would speak in Tik Tok. It was only when he was in battle that he forgot himself.
This person was a straight-A student in school, and he madly worshipped Xiao Mo.
However, his worship was very different from Childe Beauty's. Childe Beauty wanted nothing more than to become a pendant on Wander's belt, but Soulless Grass's worship was to defeat Xiao Mo fair and square on the competition stage. He was a little ambitious.
There were many people who wanted to defeat Xiao Mo, but there were very few who succeeded.
He was only 15 years old this year, and he hadn't been training for long before he was forced onto the stage by Shameless Lu.
Soulless Grass's performance wasn't very stable. His condition was good and bad. When he was strong, he had defeated a regular competitor. When he was weak, he was scolded by the combat instructor Xing Xiaofeng.
Xing Xiaofeng was the current combat instructor of Ruling Sword's training camp.
He had a lot of experience and had once dominated the competition stage. After he retired, he became the instructor of several clubs' training camps. Stellar Union Silver Radiant and Floral Paralysis were taught by him. His weakness was that he liked to scold people, especially when he made a low-level mistake. He could scold a child to the point of crying.
Fire Mage Fei Houzi, Ice Mage Short Road, Paladin Mu Qiu, Warrior Soulless Grass and Priest Childe Beauty – this was Ruling Sword's lineup.
Huadi Liqing and Weilan Haifeng, who had previously gone on stage to help, were no longer on stage.
The competition began with three individual rounds. Ruling Sword sent up Fei Houzi and The Capital of Glory sent up Dragonflame.
One was the future Mage God who was touted by the media as the successor to Xiao Mo, while the other was the disciple of the number one instructor in the gaming circle, Master Huang. The opening was already so exciting. The players who had fought so hard to get tickets suddenly felt that their trip was worth it.
In a battle between a Mage and a Warrior, generally speaking, the Mage had the advantage. However, Fei Houzi was a Fire Mage, so he didn't have as many crowd control skills as an Ice Mage.
Both of them relied on their attacks to survive, so it all depended on which side was better.
From a visual point of view, Fei Houzi was at a disadvantage because he was constantly running for his life. No matter how good his equipment was, he was still a Mage. In a situation where he lacked crowd control skills, he would die if a Berserker got close to him.
Fighting style was actually a lie. If a player's style was completely fixed, then they would be useless.
In most situations, Fei Houzi was very proactive. He liked to rush up and kill his opponents like a storm. Many people thought that this was his style, but he wasn't stupid enough to fight a Warrior head-on.
Meanwhile, Dragonflame was desperately chasing after him.
One was chasing and the other was desperately running away. The more stupid people would naturally think that the one chasing had the upper hand.
In fact, Dragonflame was very puzzled. You're a Mage, so why are you running so fast? How many pieces of equipment are you wearing?
If you have the guts, don't run!
Fei Houzi: If you have the guts, then catch up to me.
As he ran, he threw out Scorch. The continuous damage skills never stopped on Dragonflame.
If he had known earlier, he would have gotten more equipment that increased his speed. If he had known earlier, he would have practiced his positioning. If he had known earlier … if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been the first to go up. This Mage could be fought by whoever wanted to. As a Warrior, he was better off bullying the other classes.
There was no medicine for regret in this world. If he had encountered Mu Qiu, he might have lost even more miserably.
