The opening ceremony for the global competition came to a beautiful end.

There werent any regular games that day, but everyone was looking forward to the upcoming competition.

The stage was great, the special effects were cool, and the players had displayed absolute strength.

The scent of gunpowder was in the air even before the war had begun.

This summer was destined to set everyones blood boiling!

Wei Xiao and Lu Feng stepped off the stage together. They were still in the aisle when Wei Xiao spoke in a whisper, The soul warlock is so interesting.

Lu Feng: Hm?

Wei Xiao: Captain Yans soul warlock inspired me

He chattered on for a long time, talking about the details of the casual player competition just now.

Sensing that a camera was coming, Lu Feng touched the back of his hand lightly.

Wei Xiao turned his head and shot a big smile at the camera.

The camera quickly snapped a shot of FTWs two jungler kings.

The two people stood one in front of the other. One had a face as cold as frost, while the other had a sunny disposition, but they looked unexpectedly harmonious when they stood together

Like a gradual spring day with melting frost and snow, dyeing the sky with infinite vitality.

After that came a short interview.

As a casual player, Wei Xiao naturally wasnt invited.

Yan Jiang, Close, and Xie He had never participated in such activities.

Yuan Ze didnt mind, and he didnt feel any awkwardness after playing jungler so badly. He stood there and smiled calmly. On the other hand, the host blushed, and her heart pounded. She didnt even dare to tease him.

There was also Old G, whose bad Chinese made the whole audience laugh loudly. The audience in the scrolling comments also screamed, G Darling, how can a big man like you be so cute!

Someone replied, Its because Teacher Yuan trained him up well!

Teacher Yuan was really good at such things. To the left was his old teammate Proud Flower Kim, and to the right was his current teammate, Big G.

They were all great students that hed taught.

Captain Yuan was a winner of life! If he wasnt so crappy at playing jungler, hed be perfect.

In the car on the way back to the base, Wei Xiao was still talking about the soul warlock.

Brother Cais skin tensed up when he heard the words soul warlock, and he sat there trembling in the shotgun seat out of fear that Wei Xiao would say, Practice the shadow thief, hidden thief, berserker thief, immortal thief, immortal warlock, soul warlock, storm hunter, and death knight!

Yeah, Brother Cai had scared himself to death!

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaos next sentence was, Tomorrow, Ill go visit Captain Yan and learn from him!

Lu Feng:

After chattering the whole time, Wei Xiao finally discovered that the captain wasnt in a great mood, Captain?

Lu Feng: Mm.

Wei Xiao: Whats the matter

It couldnt be that he was in a bad mood after losing the game, right?

Lu Feng: Nothing much.

Wei Xiao: If Yuan Ze had played even a little more seriously, you guys wouldnt have lost!

Finally, he added another sentence, If you were in the same group as Captain Yan, then youd really wu

Lu Feng kissed him.

Wei Little Xiao, who had skin as thick as city walls, blushed!

He couldnt say a single word, and his brain was buzzing.

What was going on

Normally, the two of them played it completely safe outside, and it was only when Wei Xiao kicked up a big fuss that Lu Feng would find a place where there was no one around to coax him a bit.

In the car like this, with other people

Wei Xiao: !

Xiang Liu, who was in the driver seat at the front, and Bai Cai, who was in the shotgun seat:

Look forward, steadily! Definitely dont turn back! There was no rearview mirror in the car! They couldnt see what was going on behind them at all!

Wei Xiao secretly hooked his fingers around Lu Fengs little finger.

Lu Feng flipped his hand up to grasp Wei Xiaos.

Wei Xiao: Captain

Lu Feng: Rest for a while.

Wei Xiao: Okay.

After being kissed, Wei Little Xiao didnt have any thoughts of Captain Yans soul warlock or any line-ups in his head.

All that was left was a pounding heart and a boyfriend that he liked from all perspectives.

When they arrived at the base, Xiang Liu said, Late night snack

Wei Xiao: Im not hungry.

Lu Feng told Xiang Liu, You guys eat.

Xiang Liu: Okay.

Hed been a light bulb the whole way back. Xiang Liu himself felt that he was too dazzling to the eye!

When Bai Cai went to bring Brother Soy back, Brother Soy sniffed at him again and again, |O|ao~~

Daddys scent was there, but where was daddy!

Brother Cai rubbed its doggy head. Be more self aware.

Us single dogs should be more self aware (Feeling sour? It would be strange if he wasnt sour)!

As soon as they went upstairs and closed the door, Wei Xiao leaned over and kissed Lu Feng.

Lu Feng: Dont make trouble.

Wei Xiao stared at him. You kissed me first.

Lu Feng:

Wei Xiao: Who told you to cough, fortunately, it wasnt inside your Cullinan.

It was okay when they didnt mention the Cullinan, but the air heated up once they did.

Wei Xiao had never been the patient type. He deliberately leaned into Lu Fengs ear and called out to him, Captain~

Lu Fengs eyes were hooded.

Wei Xiao kissed him. I want

His mouth was blocked. Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with arousal.

Theyd just finished playing in the canyon.

And carried on playing in bed.

It was delightful and satisfying either way. There was no language that could describe how happy Wei Xiao was.

Wei Xiao leaned against Lu Feng bonelessly and asked Lu Feng to feed him.

The food was all light and easy to digest, and Wei Xiao ate happily.

Just before it was time to go to bed, Wei Xiao started thinking about proper business again. Oh yeah, Captain.

Lu Feng was also getting ready to sleep. Hm?

Wei Xiao brought it up again, Captain Yans soul warlock inspired me wu

Hed been kissed again!

Wei Xiao opened his eyes wide. If he still didnt understand, then he wouldnt be the clever and smart Wei Little Xiao that he was.

Lu Feng: Sleep.

How could Wei Xiao sleep? He turned over and sat up, then blinked. Could it be

Lu Feng pulled him over and surrounded him.

Wei Xiaos voice was as sweet as honey. Captain, are you jealous?

Although he knew that his captains nickname had a tendency to switch from great demon king to great vinegar king, but

Lu Feng buried his face against Wei Xiaos neck, his voice low and stuffy, Dont think about other people.

Wei Xiao: !

Lu Feng repeated, Sleep.

There would be something really wrong if Wei Xiao was able to sleep now!

Such a lovely and cute captain made his heart, liver, and lungs all melt!

God, even the big fanfiction writers didnt dare to write about the great demon king like this!

Only Wei Xiao got to see this kind of Close. It was over

He was so happy that he wanted to explode!

Wei Xiao desperately tried to press the corners of his mouth down, trying not to let them rise up towards the sun.

Whats there to be jealous about?

Lu Feng:

Wei Xiao: Captain Yan attaches great importance to me

The hand wrapped around his waist tightened.

Wei Xiao laughed. But Captain Yuan and God Kim are both very good to me too.

Lu Feng was silent.

Wei Xiao rubbed at the back of his hand and whispered, They and I are chance acquaintances. Its because of you that they take care of me.

The careless and bold Wei Xiao, who seemed to be able to get along with everyone, was actually very clear on how things worked.

Whether it was Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He, who wasnt good at communicating, or the enigmatic Yan Jiang, they all paid a lot of attention to Wei Xiao.

Was there anything about Wei Xiao that was worth their attention?

Wei Xiao didnt think so.

There were many excellent professional players, and he wasnt good enough to attract the attention of so many peak level players.

In the final analysis, the reason for the current situation was Lu Feng.

Even if they didnt know about the relationship between Wei Xiao and Lu Feng, they all knew how important Wei Xiao was.

He was very important to both Close and FTW.

Regardless of whether it was Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, or Xie He and Yan Jiang

Three years had passed. There were many things that couldnt be said, and many things that could no longer be done.

The past wouldnt come back, and all that could be seen was the present.

Wei Xiao was Closes current teammate.

Captain Wei Xiao turned around and rubbed against him. They all really

Care about you.

These last three words were spoken very, very lightly. They were like a cool breeze on a summer night, inadvertently solving all the troubles in ones heart.

Lu Feng hugged him.

Wei Xiao heard him whisper quietly, I know.

Wei Xiaos heart suddenly softened into a pool of water.

There was no need to say more.

Wei Xiao understood Lu Feng.

From beginning to end, from three years ago until now, from the breaking up of the Team of Gods, through the entirety of FTWs bumpy road

When faced with teammates leaving, partners who left without saying goodbye, and fragmented homes, Close, whod been left to support everything on his own, had never blamed anyone.

These big brothers all felt guilty about leaving Close alone.

But the last thing Close wanted was their guilt.

It wasnt anger or pride. He simply didnt want them to bear such a heavy burden.

The past was long gone.

There was no right or wrong.

Close didnt want to bind anyone with the past.

In these past three years of globals, hed been very eager to rush into the top eight and was very much looking forward to meeting them there.

The words that he was unable to say out loud, he wanted to say them through a fierce battle in the arena.

Unfortunately, there hadnt been a chance to do so.

FTW couldnt make it into the global team competition, and the others had given up on the singles.

Wei Xiaos eyes were red. Theres a chance this time.

Lu Feng didnt say anything, but the corners of his lips tightened.

Wei Xiao kissed his eyes and said softly, Well definitely be able to do it this time.

Break into the top eight, charge into the top four, and win the world championship.

Not just to prove themselves.

It was more about telling them

There had been no harm, no pain, and no one had been in the wrong.

Staying behind and leaving were both difficult choices.

There was no need to feel guilty or to feel regret.

Its all good.

From facing that disaster until now, they were still able to step out in glory.

***

There were eight games in total for the 16 to 8. As the host team, FTW would be taking part in the first day of the official games.

There were three games on the first day. The first game was between Y1, and the ST competition zones champion team.

FTW was slated for the second game. They arrived early and watched the game while making their preparations backstage.

Chen Feng: I wonder what Y1 will take in the first match.

The battle of freedom had already become the biggest attraction for the game.

Tang Chen: The medicine warlock?

Bai Cais eyes were sharp. They locked it in!

Chen Feng mused, Y1 isnt easy to provoke this year.

Brother Cai sighed. Y1 isnt easy to provoke every year

However, he knew what Chen Feng meant. Y1 would be particularly difficult to deal with this year.

Glory obviously required change. If there was any team who centered around their support as their core, then Y1 was a well-deserved first.

Theyd already been strong enough, but now

A medicine warlock and a soul warlock

Just based on these two matches, if their opponents mentality collapsed even just slightly in the third match, they would be crushed 3:0.

The team from ST obviously collapsed.

Theyd been badly beaten in the first match, then beaten up again until their scalps were numb in the second match. By the third match

The audience couldnt bear to look at it directly!

The venue, which could hold tens of thousands of people, was filled with the sound of booing.

It was disappointing that such a large-scale event had played out like this.

Fortunately, there was a big event coming up next.

FTW vs IN!

The audience began to get excited as soon as the two teams appeared.

IN had really found trouble for themselves. They could have picked anyone to offend, yet they insisted on going for the local competition zones champion team.

Even without mentioning the FTW fans, even the professional haters had stopped work tonight in order to consistently point their spearheads outwards instead. They wished that they could all upgrade their English to CET-8 levels and flame IN on the foreign live broadcast rooms.

The host certainly wouldnt mention these things directly during the interview prior to the game. Instead, they asked implicitly, Are you confident?

Wei Xiao smiled slightly. Theres a surprise for everyone.

The host: Oh?

The audience had already started shouting, 3:0! 3:0!

Wei Xiao certainly wouldnt talk carelessly on such an important occasion. He smiled like a fox. We wont leave anyone disappointed.

Alright then, that was blatant enough.

3:0 or something like that, it really wouldnt be a surprise.

During the blind hero selection part of the first match, after Wei Xiao locked in the soul warlock, the audience finally reacted, Holy sh*t! FTW is going to stir things up!

The author has something to say:

The globals are here~
