Half a year ago, who would’ve thought that this year’s FTW would not only win the singles championship, but also the doubles championship and even qualify for the global finals? IyxwoZ
Even if the team competition hadn’t yet started, FTW’s record this year was already enough for the fans to start celebrating!
A double championship and (at least) one runner-up. This wasn’t much worse compared to the Team of Gods from three years ago!
Fine, there was still a big gap between being the champion of both the doubles and the team competition, but being a runner-up wasn’t bad either!
Singles champion, doubles champion, and team competition runner-up. AgO8GV
This was enough for them to squeeze into the rankings of the global powerhouses and was enough for them to challenge the top tier teams!
Wei Xiao was still smiling when they came down from the podium.
On the other hand, Brother Cai, who’d been sitting at the commentator stand all night, was a bit nervous. “They really did win.”
Wei Xiao slanted him a glance, “Otherwise?”
ELxVU2 Brother Cai: “……”Wei Xiao: “If we don’t win, we wouldn’t be living up to the efforts of so many people.”
Brother Cai: “…………”
He was really unable to refute this! VxLYso
A long time later, a history emperor gave a rational analysis of the first doubles championship under the new competition system.
Judging from the data, Close was a lone wolf and Quiet was a newcomer. How had they crushed this group of doubles pairs and won the championship?
It might seem incredible at first glance, but it became more natural and reasonable once fans dug down deep into it.
Firstly, there was the competition committee. In the first year of this brawl type competition, not to mention the players, even the competition committee felt like they were on standby to make adjustments and add patches at any time. So, the entire arena was filled with ‘newcomers’, making this a ‘perfect time’ for CQ, who were forming a doubles team for the first time. abKQF5
Secondly, there was their geographical advantage. Of course, this advantage wasn’t only due to the fact that the global competition was being held in the China competition zone but also because these two people had landed in the Battlesong Plains, which was the most suitable outer zone for them. This gave them the opportunity to snowball their economy in the early stages.
There were also those who commented on the players themselves: Close’s shoulder injury had been cured, and he was in a better condition than he’d been for three thousand years; although Quiet was participating in the competition for the first time, the training this player had undergone couldn’t be underestimated. Among the top players in the world, which one hadn’t been one of his solo partners or been trained by him?
Finally, was Close really a lone wolf?
Maybe it was just that he hadn’t met the right person yet. 7 unmi
At such a joyful time, Wei Xiao encountered a knock to his heart on the way out of the venue.
Because the team competition was about to start, Chen Feng didn’t allow them to mess around at night and had them directly return to the base.
Little Ning and Yue Wenle had been undergoing closed room training in recent days and hadn’t been able to come and watch the doubles. Upon learning that they’d won the championship, their WeChat group was filled with Ning Zhehan’s screams and cries, and even without seeing him in person, it was clear that this kid had already gone half crazy.
God Le was fierce, but he didn’t say much. He directly sent out a photo with a note, “Choose whatever you want.” 1KUaXI
This photo was of his wardrobe, and the items inside were neatly arranged, like a luxury display cabinet. However, other people filled their wardrobe with bags and shoes, while his was filled with potato chips…
Wei Xiao was amused, “Pick whatever I like? You’re not giving me all of them?”
Yue Wenle paused for a moment, then replied, “If we win a triple championship, then it’s all yours.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes and lips curved with his smile, and he started typing, “It’s useless even if you withdraw your message. I’ve taken a screenshot!” n0VN4v
Just before he sent out the message, he caught a glimpse of a figure in gray out of the corner of his eye.
Wei Xiao frowned and put away his phone.
That person seemed to have noticed him and quickly dodged towards a nearby corner.
Wei Xiao walked over. KRFAu7

Chen Feng and Bai Cai had also noticed something happening and looked over with puzzled expressions. Upon hearing Lu Feng’s words, they didn’t ask much and nodded in agreement. SKdtbW
Wei Xiao took big strides, walking quickly. There was anger burning within his heart as he took a few steps, blocking the tall but thin middle-aged man.
“Wei Quan.”
Wei Xiao called out his name without any politeness. He didn’t seem to have seen his biological father’s expression either.
This middle-aged man was indeed Wei Quan, the man who’d abandoned Wei Xiao and brought his mother endless pain in the search for his so-called dreams. OdAD43
Everyone who knew Wei Xiao would never have seen him look so cold.
He loved to laugh and make a scene, and his eyes and mouth were constantly curving up. It was as though he could laugh things off no matter how big they were.
It was only when he faced this man, his biological father, that his expression became cold as ice.
“What are you doing here?” PDSi4s
Wei Quan’s heart clenched when he heard this coldly delivered question. He quickly said, “I’m not… I’m not here to find you. I work here… I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just… Just…”
Wei Xiao’s brows furrowed even tighter, “Work?”
An uncomfortable smile appeared on the man’s thin and pale face, “I can’t do much, just, I help with cleaning up…”
Wei Xiao looked down and saw his work clothes. xFBM7Q
With such a large venue and the recent frequent competitions, it was true that a lot of people were required for logistics.
The venue needed to be cleaned before and after the game.
There were countless cleaners like this.
Wei Quan noticed his gaze and awkwardly tightened his grip on the broom in his hand. “This is all night shift work. I’m here part-time.” RSk2z0
After speaking, he thought of something and quickly explained, “I also have another job during the day, working at a renovation company…”
Wei Xiao didn’t want to know what he was doing at all. After hearing these words, he felt flustered and even more uncomfortable in his heart.
Where were you before? Wei Quan, what were you doing before?!
Grandma was gone… Grandma couldn’t come back anymore! SPo6Hh
Wei Xiao took a deep breath and suppressed the sourness that surged up to his nose due to missing his grandmother. He spoke coldly, “That has nothing to do with me.”
Wei Quan’s body stiffened.
Wei Xiao continued, “Regardless of whether you accidentally found this job or deliberately found a job here, it has nothing to do with me.”
Wei Quan opened his mouth and tried to explain, but he finally lowered his head weakly and said quietly, “… I’m sorry.” s7XHgh
Wei Xiao hated these three words the most.
What was the use of being sorry?
Could sorry make up for his grandmother’s decades of hard work? Could it make up for her lifetime of toil and bring her back to life?!
Wei Xiao suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and lowered his eyes. “Goodbye.” bzPUWj
After saying this, he turned around and left.
He didn’t want to see Wei Quan, and he didn’t want to see his hypocritical appearance.
He didn’t have parents. From the moment his grandmother passed away, he no longer had any parents!
Lu Feng stood some distance away with his back facing Wei Quan. He saw the redness around Wei Xiao’s eyes. eDFMyz
Wei Xiao threw himself into his arms.
Lu Feng gently stroked his soft, short hair. “It’s all right.”
Wei Xiao originally hadn’t wanted to cry, and it wasn’t worth crying over, either, but he couldn’t hep but shed tears.
“Captain…” Rdou1i
“Mm.”
“I miss Grandma.”
The young man’s trembling voice hit Lu Feng’s heart like a hammer, causing his fingers to tremble from the pain. His voice was a bit hoarse, “When the game is over, I’ll accompany you to go pay respects to her.”
Wei Xiao’s voice was choked as he replied, “Okay, let’s go together.” 1gKXzi

The next day, although Chen Feng wasn’t very concerned about Wei Xiao and Close, he still arranged an appointment with a therapist and insisted that they go and ‘have a chat’.
Wei Xiao: “It’s better to use this time to play a match!”
Training matches should be scheduled all the way until off-season, okay?! dSuatm
Chen Feng stared at him.
Just as Lu Feng was about to speak, Chen Feng glared at him too. What he wanted to say was abundantly clear even without him opening his mouth. “You’ll spoil him rotten sooner or later!”
Lu Feng: “……”
So what if he was the boss? He still had to listen to the coach. gWVAp0
Wei Xiao sighed. “Alright, alright, let’s chat! We’ll have a proper chat!” He would talk to the therapist until they didn’t want to talk to him anymore!
Chen Feng wasn’t afraid of him causing trouble. If he could really talk the therapist into closing themselves up, it would mean that the little lunatic’s state was stable, and he didn’t feel any psychological pressure about winning the championship.
As for the therapist; this was their job, and their professional qualities should be able to meet this challenge!
Chen Feng’s concern was also the concern of many fans. 4Fi DY
They had won the solo competition championship, followed by the doubles championship. Holding up two trophies in a row might not be a good thing for their upcoming team competition.
Getting a triple crown would be a miracle, but it also brought huge pressure.
They might be able to suppress Y1 if they let themselves go, but if their hands and feet were tied, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be.
Y1 had been in excellent condition last year, and they were also at their peak this year. YeoRB3
Their team didn’t have any problems.
Last year’s top four: L&P’s Old Teacher Yuan had been confused and aimless, EVE’s little pufferfish wanted to go home, and Pro’s Captain Li had never made that necessary move.
To some extent, they all had some issues within their team, and it was understandable that the championship was out of reach for them this year.
Y1 was different. B9j5LH
Yan Jiang had used the past year to polish this team to perfection. If they were to win another championship this year, Y1 could become the new Team of Gods.
Y1 also really wanted this championship.
In the entire history of Glory e-sports, it was extremely rare for a team to win consecutive championships.
If Y1 could win two championships in a row, it would be enough to create a miracle. WhHFiI
How could the fans not panic in the face of such an ambitious Y1?
On the surface, they said that FTW would at least be a runner-up if they lost and that being a runner-up was still great. Next season, they could continue to work hard.
However, their hearts were pounding. Afterall, if they could win this season, who would want to wait to win next season!
Besides, they had already won two championships, and one more would mean a triple crown! POsb5D
This was a title that even the previous Team of Gods couldn’t obtain. If FTW won, it could instantly wash away history and lock in their position as gods in one fell swoop!
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle finally came out of their one week ‘closed-door cultivation’.
Wei Xiao was curious. “Let’s try solo?”
Little Ning replied enigmatically, “There’s no point in solo-ing. The team competition is based on results.” jvUBd
Wei Xiao was amused. “Okay, God Ning, I’m waiting for you to carry us!”
Ning Zhehan was only able to hold on for half a second before collapsing the next moment, “Brother Xiao, should I go dye my hair red? It has a better meaning…”
Granny gray was fashionable, but unlucky!
If he had to choose between dispirited gray or fiery red, Brother Ning would definitely choose the latter! PYXV1e
Wei Xiao muttered, “Red isn’t good.”
Ning Zhehan listened to his opinion. “Then what do you think? What’s a good color?”
Wei Xiao smiled slightly. “Green.”
Little Ning hadn’t quite figured it out. “Ah?” v4OBsL
Wei Xiao said lightly, “Doesn’t everyone say that you must wear a little green on your head if you want to live a decent life?”
Ning Zhehan: “…………”
Wei Xiao then looked at Lu Feng again. Although he didn’t say it out loud, his eyes were filled with words, “I don’t want to wear green on my head!”
Unexpectedly, Lu Feng didn’t look at him. tdiKau
Wei Xiao was stunned and leaned over, “Captain?”
Only then did Lu Feng seem to come back to his senses.
The words that Wei Xiao was about to say died on his lips.
No way, no way. Glory’s great demon king, Close, who had casually obtained six championships, was nervous before the competition? je68GO
After they moved away from Little Ning, Wei Xiao asked, “Captain, you…”
Lu Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao asked out loud, “Are you nervous?”
Lu Feng: “……” rzAfwv
Wei Xiao was dumbfounded. “You really are nervous!”
Lu Feng flicked his forehead. “No.”
Wei Xiao blinked, then blinked again, “Why don’t we do it again? It’ll help ease… mm…”
Lu Feng: “Sleep!” 3Bt2QT
