Ch238.1 - What he wanted was for one plus one to equal at least four!
Wei Xiao still hadnât finished expressing his thoughts when he had to step down from the stage.
After he went back, he whispered quietly to Lu Feng, âI still have a lot to say.â
Brother Caiâs mouth twitched: Arenât you going to come out of the closet in front of the whole world if you keep talking!
Lu Feng held his hand lightly in a way so no one could see. âTalk when we get back.â
Lu Feng coaxed him using a very gentle tone, âTell only me.â
These three words made Wei Little Xiao fly up to heaven on the spot. The hair on his head trembled. âOkay~â he lilted, his tone was sweet and crisp, like sweet milk chocolate.
Brother Cai: ââŠâŠ I often suspect that I should just settle in under the table!
There were three games a day for the sixteen into eight part of the competition. The second game had been FTW vs IN, and the third game was L&P against the JL competition zoneâs champion team.
Everyone from FTW stayed in the lounge to watch the game.
At first, Wei Xiao had still been in high spirits, wanting to see L&Pâs tactics. However, the team from the JL competition zone was really timid. They were clearly afraid of Yuan Ze and Gary, and they faced the battle of freedom with dignified expressions, acting like theyâd seen a ghost as soon as they saw the shadow thief and death knight combination.
The death knight in the top lane and the death knight that played jungler were like two different heroes in Teacher Yuanâs hands.
How crappy he was during the casual game, was equal to how amazing he was during the proper game.
Oh, calling it amazing was too subtle. He was f*cking ARROGANT, written in capital letters. It was like he had a sign over his head saying that he was the best in the world.
Wei Xiao: âIf I was JLâs top laner, I would definitely hammer him into exploding!â
Bandit Yuan was too arrogant. Wei Xiaoâs hands were itching to abuse him.
Unfortunately, JLâs top-laner didnât have the courage that Wei Xiao had. Forget about abusing Yuan Ze, he was basically pressed to the ground and being smeared around.
L&P acted leisurely from the start. By the time Gary began to support the top lane like crazy, the entire L&P had become just like their team name, leaving only love and peace in the game.
Love was the top-jungler linkage.
Peace was the mid and bottom lanes in L&P.
They were the oppositeââ
Wei Xiao felt that it was boring to watch. Based on this game, it was better toâŠ
Ever since Brother Cai learned of the relationship between the two, he could no longer bear to hear the word solo. He always felt that it wasnât pure and innocent, and it was no longer the same hot-blooded sport.
EmmâŠ. In a sense, it was also a bit passionate, and it also occurred between men.

Lu Feng glanced at the time. âLetâs go.â
It really was meaningless to keep watching. It was a one-sided suppression game, and L&P hadnât even used 60% of their strength.
They werenât like FTW, who still needed to practice new tactics in the sixteen into eight game. L&Pâs line-up and system was already mature. Why would they have to use the new talents?
Werenât the pre-existing 100 plus talents good? Any set of line-ups using those talents were already enough to beat their opponents up.
It was still early by the time they returned back to the base. The timing for the global competition was very tight. They had games for sixteen into eight that day, and the following three days were filled with more of the same. There were a total of eight games packed into four days, and the top eight list would be released by the weekend.
Oh, FTW had already been shortlisted, but they didnât know who their next opponent would be.
Everyone was clear about the situation even without Chen Fengâs reminder.
The sixteen to eight was the easiest game to play. They would face nothing but hard battles after this.
Eight into four, four into two, and the finals were all games where a bit of luck would be involved even if they put in 300% effort.
Although the results of the draw for the top four was unclear, FTW couldnât just rely on luck.
The eight teams that made it into the shortlist were traditionally put up against one of the top four.
It meant that last yearâs top four wouldnât be up against each other when their opponents were selected for the eight into four. Of course, if the top four stopped at the sixteen into eight, then it would be another story.
However, who were the top four from last year?
Would these four teams lose in the sixteen to eight?
So, FTW would face one of these four teams.
ââBecause any one of the four teams was a hard bone to chew. The results would be difficult to predict even with FTW trying their best.
When faced with such a tense situation, the little ones wouldnât be willing to rest even when it hit two or three oâclock in the morning, let alone when it was only ten in the evening.
Dinner could be skipped, and all they wanted to do was improve themselves further during this limited time.
Chen Feng didnât rush to go over the game replay and had them go train instead.
Wei Xiao pulled Lu Feng along with him to solo, while the three little ones went to the international servers to solo queue. They used the same talents from the battle of freedom.
Chen Feng strolled around the training room and felt very happy looking upon this scene.
FTW might have performed amazingly tonight, and theyâd shocked the whole world with their battle of freedom, butâŠ
There were many practical problems.
Laymen watched the excitement, while the experts examined the details.
Chen Feng had already filled two pieces of paper with his summary, but Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, and the others could also sense their own shortcomings.
Testing their new line-up during the sixteen to eighteen was crazy, but it was indeed effective.
They really wouldnât have been able to see so many problems if they hadnât taken it out and used it.
IN had been cautious on the surface even while they had been looking down on the enemy in their hearts. In particular, they had really looked down on Bai Cai, believing that his power thief was just decorative. They hadnât taken him seriously, so theyâd ended up ganked by Wei Xiao and Bai Cai at the start of the game.
This routine could only be used once. There was a global live broadcast, and everyone could have seen their game. They all now understood that Brother Cai wasnât messing around with his power thief.
In that case, they wouldnât be able to trick their opponents so easily next time, no matter who they went up against.
Whatâs more, who were they going to encounter in the next game?
They could hammer Brother Vegetable until he went into seclusion.
Xie He could go from the mid-lane straight into the jungle zone and get a double kill.
Proâs Park Guizhi wasnât easy to provoke, either. Wei Xiaoâs jungler might be a bit more fierce, but he was more than enough when it came to abusing a vegetable.
And there was no need to mention Y1. They might use a soul warlock themselves, but their jungler wouldnât be a support who switched roles halfway!
They were all old pros. Wei Little Xiao and Bai Caicaiâs little tricks were nothing but childâs play in their eyes.
So, the problems with the soul warlock had been exposed.
It was too weak before level 6.
Not only did Wei Xiao lack the power to even truss up a chicken, even the shadow thief and the immortal warlock had to develop sufficiently to obtain their ultimate moves. It was already pretty good if they didnât miss any of their lane soldiers; how could they also support the jungle zones?
Forget it, forget it, that wasnât providing support, it was giving out a triple kill.
The storm hunter was strong in the early stages, but an ADC couldnât provide support in the top-jungler zone so early in the game.
Providing support across the map would affect many aspects of their development, and the gain wasnât worth the loss.
How could they compensate for this problem?
Chen Feng stopped by Bai Caiâs side and stared at his screen.
Brother Cai was playing jungler with the power thief in the international server.
His power thief had a national server badge, but Wei Xiao had been the one to get it for him. It wasnât worth much.
Brother Cai could play somewhat effectively in a casual game, but this level of awareness and operationsâŠ
Yuan Ze could kill three of him with a single attack.
Building up a jungler king in four or five days was impossible.
The soul warlock system would break into shattered pieces if it was beaten into collapse before level six.
Then, what should they do?
Chen Feng was a bit worried.
The players had come up with such a good system and played out such a good effect. The coaching team should help them improve the overall planning for the routine and help them refine it. Otherwise, what use were they?
Not only was Chen Feng thinking about this, Wei Xiaoâs brain also hadnât stopped for a moment.
He soloed with Lu Feng while mulling over todayâs game.
What could be sensed by those on the court was quite different from those off the court. As the absolute core of this system, Wei Xiaoâs feelings were deeper than anyone elseâs.
Although everyone was saying it was good and everyone was cheering and the audience had let it all get to their headsââ
ââWei Xiao knew that he hadnât played out the desired effect.
Double thousand layers of clouds, double stepping on raindrops, and double light arcs wasnât what he wanted.
What he wanted was a bigger jump in improvement.
Not just the effect of having flowers bloom wherever he went.
What was the difference between the soul warlock and an ordinary jungler?
It was all based on being able to gank, catch people, and fight for rhythm.
Wei Xiao hoped that the whole team would take a considerable leap. It should be that the soul warlock gave more to his teammates, rather than a simple one plus one equals two.
What he wanted was for one plus one to equal at least four!
What did a small bit of improvement amount to? What he wanted was for the team to take on a whole new level of awareness.
Just take a little more time.
Even if it was just a month, it would be enough.
Wei Xiao exhaled, suppressing this regret and paying attention to the present.
No one would wait for you, and no one would give you more time.
It was the same for everyone. The ability to grasp the present meant that they could control their future.
The screen went dark. Wei Xiao had been stabbed to death by his boyfriend once again.
Lu Feng looked at him. âContinue?â
Wei Xiao: âContinue!â
In fact, Lu Feng knew that Wei Xiao was playing absent-mindedly, and he knew that he was thinking things through.
It was unknown when itâd started, but solo between the two of them had become a way for them to relax and think.
Their entire person became absorbed in the competition in the canyon, but it somehow also helped them think.
Ch238.2 - Creating a new Team of Gods!
After Wei Xiao died over ten times in a row, Lu Feng looked at him. âDo you want to eat watermelon?â
Wei Xiaoâs eyes lit up. âYes!â
Lu Feng pushed his chair back and got up.
Wei Xiao got up quickly as well. âIâll go with you.â
Little Ning heard them and was just about to say, âIâŠâ
Brother Cai glared at him after the two of them left. âWhat are you doing?â
Little Ning felt very aggrieved. âI want to eat watermelon, tooâŠâ
Brother Cai: âThereâs no more. Thereâs only one and itâs not even enough for Wei Little Xiao to eat.â
Little Ning: âOhâŠâŠâ
Only after he continued playing his ranked games did the poor granny gray recall: Just one? The base was stocked up with several boxes of watermelons all year round.
As everyone knew, Brother Xiao relied on watermelon to survive. If there was no watermelon in the base, then Brother Xiao would kick up a fuss.
Brother Liu had to prepare this âfoodâ even when they went abroad. How could there only be one left???
Besides, Brother Cai had been playing ranked games the whole time. How would he know that there was only one?
Little Ning, who wanted to eat melon but wasnât able to, didnât realize that heâd narrowly passed by a big melon of gossip.
Wei Xiao really did go to eat watermelon. He also had a kiss with every bite.
Lu Feng dug out watermelon seeds for him with a fork.
Wei Xiaoâs heart felt as sweet as honey, but his mouth insisted on saying, âIâll do it myself.â
Lu Feng fed him a bite. âIs it sweet?â
Wei Xiao: âSuper sweet!â
Lu Feng leaned in and kissed him. âIt is very sweet.â
Wei Xiaoâs heart was pounding. There were no more thoughts of the soul warlock in his head as it was all filled with his boyfriend.
âDonât seduce me.â Wei Xiao kept himself sober. âI still want to solo.â
Lu Feng fed him another piece, â5v5 is a team game.â
This somewhat abrupt sentence left Wei Xiao stunned.
Lu Feng continued, âDonât take it all on yourself.â
Wei Xiao bit down on the watermelon, and his mouth filled with sweetness. This refreshing taste resonated on the tip of his tongue, helping him find enlightenment.
The 5v5 game was a team game.
The soul warlock was a talent that was born for the team.
Wei Xiao smiled and leaned over to kiss Lu Feng. âI see!â
The hint of a smile also appeared at the corner of Lu Fengâs lips. âSo, donât worry.â
Wei Xiao nodded hard. âYeah!â
Weâre sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so weâre going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lu Feng: âLosing the match is also okay. We donât only have the battle of freedom.â

But heâd forgotten that it was a team game.
His teammates relied on him, and he should also rely on his teammates.
This so-called complementary potential wasnât something that could be created by one person alone.
Wei Xiao could help Ning Zhehan brush out his thousand layers of clouds quicker.
Ning Zhehan could also help Wei Xiao brush out his thousand layers of clouds more easily.
Wei Xiao was only thinking about adding bonuses to Ning Zhehan, but he hadnât thought about how Ning Zhehan could help him!
Only by pursuing mutual achievements could they be a team.
The true potential of the soul warlock lay in unity.
Not in how much one plus one could make.
It was about harmony as a whole.
Only in this way could they give full play to their absolute strength, without any upper limits!
FTWâs future was promising!
Wei Xiao could finally see things clearly. Lu Feng had unraveled the knot that had weighed down on him all night.
He felt comfortable all over and wasnât able to sit still again.
âItâs getting late. Why donât weâŠâ
Lu Feng put away the plate of watermelon. âTraining.â
Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. âSolo in beâŠâ
There was no way to shut Wei Xiao up unless Lu Feng kissed him until he couldnât speak.
There was no suspense about L&Pâs win.
Pro played the next day, and there was no suspense there either.
EVE played on the third day. Xie He set the record for the fastest match in this yearâs global competition. Their game ended in 22 minutes after their opponents suffered a bloody collapse in their mentality.
At this point, the sixteen into eight ended, and the list for the top eight teams was released.
Y1, FTW, L&P, Pro, EVEâŠ
There wasnât much suspense there either. All the teams from the Team of Gods had been promoted.
Next was entering the top four in the eight into four round.
FTW had been going through special closed door training for the past three days.
The fans were looking forward to the games every day. On one hand, they wanted to see the soul warlock go up onto the stage again, and on the other, they were afraid that Little Lunatic Wei would stumble when faced with the Team of Gods.
On one hand, they wanted FTW to happily rush into the top four, but on the other hand, they were afraid that they would lose in the top eight.
China had never been able to achieve such good results in three years.
But they were unreconciled!
They werenât willing to let things just stop here!
They wanted to be better, they wanted to be even better.
As the champion team of the host competition zone, winning the world championship this year would be especially meaningful, and enough for them to go down in the history of Glory!
Becoming gods through one battle, that was what was waiting for FTWâs four little ones!
The entire China competition zone was looking forward to defeating the Team of Gods from the past and creating a new Team of Gods!
The competition committee continued acting inhumane. They were determined to leave peopleâs hearts hanging in their throats.
The opponents for the eight into four would be determined by on-site lottery.
How would they draw lots?
Have the eight teams go up and draw lots?
According to their rules where the last yearâs top four wouldnât meet each other in the eight into four round, the top four would draw their own opponents directly!
Who FTW would go up against had already become the hottest topic over the whole internet.
Hot searches went up one after another, and everyone nervously stalked the live broadcast room.
Yes⊠how could such an important thing not be broadcasted live?
Representatives from the four teams would draw lots on the spot, the host would announce it on the spot, and the eight into four match chart would also be announced at the same time.
The other four teams from the top eight were also at the scene, waiting for the results.
This was a predestined result. Theyâd already been mentally prepared for several days, and even Little Ning was calm.
Getting Y1 would be fine.
So what if it was EVE or Pro?
They had to run into one of them eventually or even both of them.
The top four, the semi-finals, the finals.
To hell with being afraid!
Just fight and be done with it!
The first team to draw was Y1. Yan Jiang didnât go up. It was their jungler God Hai who went up onto the stage, greeted everyone, and accepted an interview.
The host simply asked them who they wanted to draw the most. Hai opened his mouth and replied, âIt should be FTW.â
The camera cut to show FTW. Wei Xiao smiled and waved. He wasnât cowering at all.
The live broadcast scrolling comments: âNo need, no need, Y1, we donât want to meet you!â
âLittle Lunatic, you might not be afraid, but your mama is afraid. Save me! Donât run into God Yan!â
âI donât want us to run into God Kim, God Xie, or Old Bandit Yuan either, what should we do!â
âIf I have to choose⊠f*ck, Laozi canât choose!â
Hai pulled out a card. The host looked at it, then smiled slightly, âIt seems that God Hai is going to be disappointed.â It wasnât FTW.
Hai smiled, âWeâre looking forward to the next opportunity.â
The next to go up and draw was EVE. Xie He didnât go up, either. Their beautiful coach was the one to go up on stage.
The live broadcast studio descended into a revelry for straight men as soon as the blonde beauty appeared.
She had white skin, was beautiful and sexy, and was enough to make everyone envy EVEâs players.
The host also interviewed Coach Echo. âWho does EVE want to play against?â
Echo spoke in French, âOf course itâs FTW.â
Were the top four teams all focused on FTW?!
The camera swept over again, and Wei Xiao continued to wave in greeting. He even added a wink.
ââLet alone panic, he was complacent and owning it!
However, EVE didnât draw FTW.
The audience couldnât relax, since Pro and L&P were up next.
None of them were easy opponents.
Especially since these two teams had history with FTW from back during the winter training camp.
One of them had a top-jungler linkage that they couldnât beat.
The other had a marksman daddy that they couldnât kill.
To some extent, both of them were psychological shadows on FTW.
If they had to choose oneâŠ
Half the fans compromised and said, âPro, then⊠ying, what if God Ran makes a mistake and the Little Lunatic is able to bite Proud Flower Kim to death? Then FTW can win.â
The other half of the fans compromised in another direction, âL&P, then. After all, theyâre so familiar. Maybe our top-jungler can win against themâŠâ
It was a fifty-fifty chance. They could only keep worrying!
The third team to go up and draw was L&P.
This time, the results were basically determined. If they drew FTW, then their opponents would be L&P. if they didnât, then it would be Pro.
Gary came up to represent L&P. Old G rubbed his hands.
The host asked him the same question. Garyâs style was a bit strange, and he opened his mouth to share his âbeautifulâ Chinese. âIâd rather not pull FTW.â
The two teams before him had only wanted to draw FTW. Why did L&P not want to?
The host asked about this curiously.
Garyâs reasoning was very justifiable. âIt would be bad if the little lunatic kicked us out after we beat them.â
Well⊠Everyone knew that L&P was living at the FTW base. Old G was quite self-aware.
So, Gary reached in with his big hand and pulled out a card.
The host was amused when she saw it.
The huge FTW team emblem came into view, and the whole audience laughed.
Alright then, the teams who wanted FTW didnât get them, and those who didnât want them got them!
