Chen Feng ignored Lu Feng and continued watching the video.
It was already enough that his operational skill was amazing, his game consciousness was strong, and his understanding was high, but this kid Wei Xiao was also black hearted!
That big pentakill gift bag that was delivered at the end really required all sorts of skills and means.
On the surface, it seemed that this video was only about a thief beating others up, but in fact, hed been laying down the foundations for this pentakill moment throughout the entire match.
First of all, he diverted their attention, and seized the other side until their mental states collapsed and exploded.
The other side became afraid to act alone and began to group together, thinking that they would still have a chance to survive in a 5v1 situation.
However, this sent them straight into Wei Xiaos arms. If they didnt group together, how else would he be able to cut down five people in one breath?
Shadow thieves had stealth skills. Although there would be a small hint over the head of the target when they went invisible, it still took a few seconds for a thief to appear after they were prompted.
Wei Xiao took advantage of these few seconds to attack from behind, gathering them together and backstabbing all of them, perfectly delivering serious injuries to the five players.
The other sides support and warrior had more health and wanted to run, but Wei Xiao didnt get anxious. He first had the fire mage take down three of them, and then chased after the warrior before using a slow to cause the support to move at a snails pace.
The fire mage jumped and pranced over and casually auto attacked once
Pentakill!
Everything had come together perfectly.
It was so precise it couldnt possibly be any more precise.
It wasnt hard to destroy the other party and take a pentakill. There were countless people who could do this in the bronze segment.
What made this time so deadly was that he hadnt taken a single kill in this situation, but his gold and resources were three times that of his opponents; he had made no mistakes in releasing his skills for the whole match, and his control over their health was at an insane level.
Hed given all the kills to the fire mage. Not only had he predicted the damage, but hed also created opportunities that were perfectly within the fire mages range of attack.
He didnt seem to be just playing a game. It was more like hed turned the Glory canyon into a game of chess, and he was the only one who controlled all the pieces.
Chen Feng watched the video twice in a row, then furrowed his brows, His individual strength is very high.
Although this was the bronze segment, if the video of this wave of operations was released, it would probably cause the professional circle to shake three times.
Lu Feng: Mm.
His response was light and clear like he wasnt overly concerned, but his eyes were staring unblinkingly at the screen.
The meeting room was dark, and the screen was bright. The projection reflected in the dark eyes as though igniting a cluster of flames.
Chen Feng saw this and felt a burst of hot-blooded excitement in his chest.
Battle intent.
There was the desire for battle in Lu Fengs eyes.
How long had it been since hed seen it?
Ever since Lu Feng had become the only number one in the world.
Cheng Feng had never seen such emotions in Lu Fengs eyes since then.
That was the urge to fight, wanting to win, the full blown desire for battle against a long awaited opponent!
Chen Fengs heart thumped loudly
Was it really okay for Wei Xiao to come to FTW?
I acknowledge his personal strength. Chen Feng calmed down, But what were lacking is a team.
FTW had already won enough individual world championships. They were more eager than anyone else for a real championship.
As far as personal strength was concerned, there was nobody who could match Lu Feng.
What they needed more was a team that twined together to form a rope, a team where five people added up together equaled infinity!
Lu Feng retrieved his gaze, He can do it.
Chen Feng had a very good understanding of Wei Xiao. Two years ago, Chen Feng had been extremely supportive when Lu Feng had wanted to sign him.
What he had appreciated wasnt only Wei Xiaos personal strength as a rookie king, but also his courage to challenge the major clubs with a team from the youth training camp.
Excellent newcomers existed everywhere, but the only one whod dared to do so in the past two years was Wei Xiao.V/\\IssT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n)./ for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
He was arrogant and willful, but it was precisely this aura that ignited the fighting spirit of his teammates, making it so that an immature team could play far beyond their own abilities and win again and again.
Wei Xiao was like someone who exuded light, someone who could easily kindle the fires in his teammates.
Back then, it had been this quality of his that all the major clubs were competing for.
Unfortunately, he withdrew at the peak of his popularity and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Feng sighed and asked Lu Feng directly, What happened between the two of you two years ago?
This was the issue he felt the most scruples about. It was true that Wei Xiao had the ability to gather together a team, but if there were grudges between him and Lu Feng, it would all be empty talk.
In FTW, Lu Feng would forever be the core.
A person who couldnt cooperate with Lu Feng had no value no matter how strong their personal ability was.
Lu Feng glanced at Chen Feng, He didnt give up the professional arena because of me.
This sentence gave others too much food for thought.
He didnt talk about what had happened and just said that it wasnt because of him.
Chen Feng spoke very seriously, Its not that Im insisting on looking into your private affairs, but I cant trust Wei Xiao if any hidden dangers arent resolved.
In fact, his opinions couldnt influence Lu Feng. If Lu Feng wanted Wei Xiao, he didnt need his consent at all, only
Having been good friends for many years, Chen Feng would still say what needed to be said.
He stayed at the base for three days. Lu Feng slowly opened his mouth and stated.
Chen Feng said, He was with you the whole time for those three days.
Lu Feng replied, Yes.
Then you guys
Chen Feng had been curious about this for a long time. What happened in those three days?
When Wei Xiao had reported to their club, FTW had still been at their old base. It was a three story small building that was far less spacious than it was now.
At the time, both the first team and substitute team had lived in the same building. Space was tight, so Lu Feng had taken Wei Xiao to his suite on the third floor.
It might be called a suite, but it was just a living room with a bedroom to one side. The entire area it covered wasnt even as large as a single bedroom in the new base.
From when Wei Xiao went upstairs, he never came down again.
Three days later, what they saw was the letter about him going to chase his dreams in New Oriental.
In the FTW base, the only person whod been in contact with Wei Xiao was Lu Feng.
Lu Feng hadnt said much either and had proceeded to prepare for the new season as though everything was normal.
Now, Chen Feng finally wanted to know the truth.
He always wanted to solo with me. Lu Feng said calmly, So we soloed for 48 hours.
Chen Fengs expression collapsed, What?
Lu Feng spoke blandly, I still have recordings of the matches. Do you want to see?
No Chen Feng didnt want to at all. What shocked him was, You guys soloed for 48 hours?
Lu Feng: There were meals, water, and washroom breaks in between.
Chen Fengs voice was about to break, What about sleeping?
Lu Feng: Wasnt tired.
Chen Feng: .
What kind of mystical truth was this?!
Wei Xiao was at the base for three days and didnt go downstairs for three days straight because hed been soloing with Lu Feng?
That little lunatic had originally come because of Lu Feng. It wasnt hard to understand why he would do such a thing.
But why did Lu Feng go along with it for such a long time!
48 hours!
There was no need to talk about anything else, werent you guys tired?!
What about the wi-win rate? Chen Feng asked.
Lu Feng paused for a moment.
Chen Feng thought about the newcomer Wei Xiao from back then and the Lu Feng who was at his peak at the time and stammered even more, It, it cant be that he didnt win a single game, right?
Lu Fengs lips curved slightly, He won the last game.
Chen Feng: .
Lu Feng added, He won against me with a thief.
Cheng Feng wanted to roll his eyes, F*ck, 48 hours. You lost because you were tired from playing, right!
Lu Feng: I wasnt actually tired.
Chen Feng: Then were you annoyed?
Lu Feng: It was fun soloing with him.
Chen felt that the world was going crazy, Then why would you lose? How could your thief at its peak lose?!
Lu Feng lowered his eyelashes, I felt a little distressed.
Chen Feng almost fell off his chair, Ah?!
Lu Feng seemed to be afraid that he wouldnt understand and explained further, I made a mistake in positioning due to distress and was killed.
Chen Feng didnt want to listen to Lu Feng explain anything else in this life!
Youd been f*cking abusing the other person for 48 hours and started to feel distressed during the last game?!
Chen Feng thought about that scene and felt like his heart had shattered!
Was this what someone human would do?
What had the 18 year old Wei Xiaoxiao done wrong? He had to suffer such abuse just before joining the team!
It was already like that, yet Lu Feng still said that Wei Xiao hadnt given up the professional arena because of him.
If it was himself, dont even talk about competitions, he would have directly jumped down from the third floor!
Is there anyone who would act like you?!
Cheng Feng had a bellyful of opinions regarding Wei Xiao leaving without a word, but now he only wanted to criticize Lu Feng, Is there anyone else who would treat a newcomer like that?!
Lu Feng shook his head, Soloing with him, I had to go all out.
Chen Feng was stunned.
Lu Fengs eyes were dyed with a trace of barely perceptible gentleness, He doesnt only want to win. He also wants respect.
In those 48 hours, Lu Feng had countless opportunities to let Wei Xiao win.
How could winning or losing be that important in casual battles between two people?
But, he couldnt do it.
Every time he looked into the youths eyes that were burning with battle spirit, he had no way to relax.
Winning wasnt important.
What was important was for him to respect his opponent.
In the last game, Lu Feng wasnt distressed because of the constantly-losing Wei Xiao.
He was distressed that Wei Xiaos fingers were trembling slightly, yet he remained resilient and maintained perfect control over his character.
His physical strength couldnt support him anymore, but his mental strength was still unwavering.
Lu Feng was distressed over how Wei Xiao had been serious from the start and had never given up.
In the last game, Lu Feng made a small mistake, and Wei Xiao still caught it despite his extreme fatigue.
He had really won against him.
Using a thief, hed won against Close.
Lu Feng was fully certain.
Wei Xiao hadnt left because hed lost for 48 hours.
Because after the last game, the youth who was sprawled in the gaming chair said to him
That was too amazing. Youre really strong!
Lu Feng had looked at him. The youths face was pale and bloodless from fatigue, and only his eyes were as bright as a morning star.
One day, Ill really win against you!
FTW: For The Win.
Many people said that Lu Feng had been born for FTW.
Lu Feng felt that the youth in front of him had been
Born to win.
Juurensha: .guys, you should have been hallucinating from sleep deprivation at that point.
xiin: ahh youth *sips tea*
