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, he’d 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 Xiao’s arms. If they didn’t 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 side’s support and warrior had more health and wanted to run, but Wei Xiao didn’t 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 snail’s pace. The fire mage jumped and pranced over and casually auto attacked once…

Pentakill!

Everything had come together perfectly.

It was so precise it couldn’t possibly be any more precise.

It wasn’t 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 hadn’t 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.

He’d given all the kills to the fire mage. Not only had he predicted the damage, but he’d also created opportunities that were perfectly within the fire mage’s range of attack.

He didn’t seem to be just playing a game. It was more like he’d 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 wasn’t 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 Feng’s eyes.

How long had it been since he’d seen it?

Ever since Lu Feng had become the only number one in the world.

Cheng Feng had never seen such emotions in Lu Feng’s eyes since then.

That was the urge to fight, wanting to win, the full blown desire for battle against a long awaited opponent!

Chen Feng’s 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 we’re 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 wasn’t only Wei Xiao’s 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 who’d dared to do so in the past two years was Wei Xiao.

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 couldn’t cooperate with Lu Feng had no value no matter how strong their personal ability was.

Lu Feng glanced at Chen Feng, “He didn’t give up the professional arena because of me.”

This sentence gave others too much food for thought.

He didn’t talk about what had happened and just said that it wasn’t because of him.

Chen Feng spoke very seriously, “It’s not that I’m insisting on looking into your private affairs, but I can’t trust Wei Xiao if any hidden dangers aren’t resolved.”

In fact, his opinions couldn’t influence Lu Feng. If Lu Feng wanted Wei Xiao, he didn’t 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 wasn’t 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 who’d been in contact with Wei Xiao was Lu Feng.

Lu Feng hadn’t 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 Feng’s expression collapsed, “What?”

Lu Feng spoke blandly, “I still have recordings of the matches. Do you want to see?”

“No…” Chen Feng didn’t 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 Feng’s voice was about to break, “What about sleeping?”

Lu Feng: “Wasn’t tired.”

Chen Feng: “…………………………………….”

What kind of mystical truth was this?!

Wei Xiao was at the base for three days and didn’t go downstairs for three days straight because he’d been soloing with Lu Feng?

That little lunatic had originally come because of Lu Feng. It wasn’t 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, weren’t 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 can’t be that he didn’t win a single game, right?”

Lu Feng’s 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 wasn’t 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 wouldn’t understand and explained further, “I made a mistake in positioning due to distress and was killed.”

Chen Feng didn’t want to listen to Lu Feng explain anything else in this life!

“You’d 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 hadn’t given up the professional arena because of him.

If it was himself, don’t 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 Feng’s eyes were dyed with a trace of barely perceptible gentleness, “He doesn’t 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 couldn’t do it.

Every time he looked into the youth’s eyes that were burning with battle spirit, he had no way to relax.

Winning wasn’t important.

What was important was for him to respect his opponent.

In the last game, Lu Feng wasn’t distressed because of the constantly-losing Wei Xiao.

He was distressed that Wei Xiao’s fingers were trembling slightly, yet he remained resilient and maintained perfect control over his character.

His physical strength couldn’t 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, he’d won against Close.

Lu Feng was fully certain.

Wei Xiao hadn’t left because he’d 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. You’re really strong!”

Lu Feng had looked at him. The youth’s face was pale and bloodless from fatigue, and only his eyes were as bright as a morning star.

“One day, I’ll 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*
