Their hard-won victory felt amazing.
After their on-stage interview, everyone had a new perception of Team Skycrown.
At least they were now aware that Team Skycrown had always been training since the moment they were formed half a year ago. They had never caused trouble and never made a racket with others on the internet.
Those tasteless rumors were dispelled on their own!
And even if Team Skycrown did actually do something, they had still defeated Team Revelation, one of the top four teams. Go ahead and try to also beat them three to zero if you can!

Didn’t you see the golden coach giving them such high praise?
“I look forward to your performance at this year’s Worlds,” Li Tuchan had said, patting Yu Luocheng on his shoulder.
Worlds...
That goal seemed so near yet so far!
Team Skycrown’s reality was far from satisfactory. They never denied that they wanted to gain recognition and make a name for themselves.
But no matter how many twists and turns life threw their way, and how hard their daily lives were, the feeling of elation that would come from standing on the world stage to compete against international teams would truly make them feel alive!
So that’s why they had to be unafraid of pain, and whenever they were knocked down, they had to just keep getting up to fight again!

As an e-sports veteran, Li Tuchuan knew well how much glory Team Skycrown used to have and how brilliant they were.
When they were playing against Fudan University, Li Tuchuan already had his eye on them.
At the time, Team Skycrown was still weak. But in just a short span of two to three months, their awkwardness had completely faded, showing their true skills in e-sports!
Incredibly pleased, Li Tuchuan couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.
He left the local scene because it was disdainful to fight with those kinds of people. Team Skycrown had suffered so much, but they still managed to pick themselves up and stand once again. They truly deserved this victory!
“Could it be possible that Moke thinks that they have what it takes to qualify for Worlds right now?” asked the host, slightly surprised.
All the way from the bottom to having the qualifications for Worlds... the host never expected the golden coach to have such high praise for this team!

Li Tuchuan didn’t say much.
Worlds was the pinnacle of real e-sports, if a team didn’t set getting there as their goal, then they didn’t even have the qualifications to reach the LPL!
Li Tuchuan believed that the once king of e-sports wouldn’t be satisfied with just being the top in the country, too many people abroad already knew about them.
As long as they dared to go beyond the LPL, those who arrogantly despised Chinese e-sports players will fear, because the previously known Team Wings had beaten them within an inch of death!
As the members of Team Skycrown were not people of many words, they didn’t say much about their victory.
Walking down from the stage, Da Luo, Zhou Yan, Lin Dong, and Wu Sen were still exhilarated from the victory. As soon as they reached the bottom of the stage, a beautiful girl ran up to them and threw herself at them in a hug.
A soft body, pleasant fragrance, a beautiful face...

The feeling of happiness was so sudden, and as the first one to be embraced, Da Luo felt like he was in heaven. No one expected that Li Meiqi would give every one of them a hug.
She even sneaked a kiss on his cheek when it was Yu Luocheng’s turn!
“Heyyy, we want a kiss too!” whined Lin Dong and Da Luo after seeing it.
“It doesn’t have any meaning if I give too many kisses, who wants to come first tonight?” said Li Meiqi, smiling slyly.
Lin Dong and Da Luo were startled and could only look at her with their mouths hanging open...
These virgin boys didn’t know how to react to such aggressiveness at all!
Yu Luocheng didn’t take much notice of her action, he knew that Li Meiqi had always been this way. He glanced at Li Tuchuan who had also walked down from the stage with them.
Li Tuchuan didn’t stop to continue any kind of conversation with him. He only reached out his fist and lightly bumped it against Yu Luocheng’s chest before turning and leaving.

Watching as he left, Yu Luocheng was out of it for a long time. This man who was sort of his teacher had finally walked onto the path of glory. A pleasantly warm feeling spread through Yu Luocheng at the thought of his success.
The path of e -sports was a difficult one, but those who persist would eventually find a place to call their own.
“I’m looking forward to playing against your team at Worlds!” His mind still replayed Li Tuchuan’s words, and Yu Luocheng’s heart surged inexplicably in excitement.
Yeah, he should be galloping towards Worlds. Where did his passion in the beginning go? He wasn’t even that old yet!
He didn’t know why, but at times Yu Luocheng felt like he was an old soul, doing things unemotionally without feeling a single beat of excitement.
But when he thought about the possibility that he might play on the same stage as his e-sports predecessor, his heart started to beat in excitement!
Could it be possible that he actually desired to return to the arena?

Team Skycrown didn’t own a car, so they stepped out of the competition venue and waited for the public bus like most of the audience. As they were waiting, a bunch of LOL fans crowded around them!
“Aih, why would you take the public bus? Come on, I have a car, I can send you guys to where you want to go!” said an enthusiastic fan.
“You’re not the only one with a car! Lao Zhao, drive my Land Rover over...”
“So what if you have a car? They promised to give me an autograph!”
“Coach, teach people to use Ashe. My Ashe always cannot hit properly, you landed so many accurate hits, everyone loves it...” exclaimed a bubbly girl exclaimed with a big smile on her face.
Half frightened by the girl’s excitement, Yu Luocheng hastily retreated.

In the end, the five of them ended up taking the subway back to campus. With such a hard-won victory, Li Meiqi happily offered to treat them to a good meal with her winnings of ten thousand yuan.
After many days of eating nothing but junk food, the members of Team Skycrown went crazy over the amount of meat they were now able to eat!
“Oh my gosh, why are you guys fighting over it, you will definitely be able to eat a lot of meat in the future!” said Li Meiqi as she laughed at them.
The members of Team Skycrown were so cute, hungrily wolfing down the meat without a care for their image, like they hadn’t had any for years. Li Meiqi couldn’t help but smile warmly as she thought about how they would soon be able to leave such a difficult life behind.
“Our next opponent is Team Dusk and their play style is relatively new. Their personal strength is also not very prominent,” said Lin Dong.
“When will we go against Team Sky?” asked Da Luo, impatience in his voice.
“As long as we win the game against Team Dusk and get another four points, then our next opponent will be Team Sky,” replied Lin Dong.
Lin Dong unconsciously clenched his fist. Team Sky really was so hateful. Defeating Team Revelation wasn’t enough. They would only be able to truly celebrate when they took down Team Sky!
“Oh by the way, I recently checked. Team Sky’s strength seems to be on the decline. They lost to both Team Daemons and Team 71. If we can beat them, maybe Team Sky will really be thrown down the gutter and not qualify for Worlds!” said Li Meiqi.
Lin Dong shook his head, saying, “It’s not that their strength is declining, Blood Eagle just hasn’t been playing.”
“Blood Eagle didn’t play?”
“I’m not sure, but I heard that Blood Eagle has gone overseas to receive special training. He hasn’t been in the country since Chinese New Year, they let a substitute play Jungler. I heard they said that even without Blood Eagle, they would still be able to maintain their position in the top two of the LPL. After Team 71 beat them three to two, Team Sky is slightly panicking right now.”
“Did Zhao Tinghua do this intentionally? To let us stomp on them?”
“I don’t think so, Zhao Tinghua can’t wait for us to lose. It’s possible that he himself wants to get stronger, so he went overseas for training...”
“Then isn’t this a good chance?”
With and without Zhao Tinghua, Team Sky was definitely like two different teams! If they could defeat even Team Sky, then Team Skycrown would be able to qualify for the S International League!
“Haha, Zhao Tinghua really chose a good time to leave. If it wasn’t for the fact that we know what he’s like, I really would think that he deliberately ran away from us,” said Da Luo, laughing loudly.
“Yeah, Team Sky can’t afford to lose anymore. If they do...”
This was good news for Team Skycrown! Team Sky didn’t have many points, while Team Daemons and Team 71 were the ones currently maintaining their winning streak.
If Team Sky lost one more time and were not able to get the four points from a victory, then the top two in the LPL would be Team 71 and Team Daemons, followed by Team Skycrown who only had two points.
The top two from the LPL Spring Season would qualify for the S International League, and more importantly, the prize for third place is two hundred thousand yuan!
The members of Team Skycrown were all excited!
Their biggest objective for coming into the LPL was to defeat Team Sky. Right now, with Blood Eagle out of the country for special training, Team Sky was in an embarrassing position. As long as Team Skycrown could get an advantage over them, it would definitely cause a fatal blow to them!
Wasn’t Team Sky known to be the top domestic e-sports club?
If they can’t even qualify for Worlds, do they still have the face to be known as that?
If Team Sky tried to continue tainting Team Skycrown’s reputation in the future, others would know that it was out of pure jealousy and resentment. And once that happened, more people would side with Team Skycrown!
So what if they tried more tricks and deceit? None of it would matter as long as Team Skycrown could beat them fiercely on the battlefield!
“Alright, don’t get lax in your training during this time. Make sure to maintain your feel and reaction timings. After beating Team Dusk, we’ll go all out on Sky Club!” said Lin Dong, his eyes full of burning determination.
Team Skycrown had waited an eternity for this moment!
Sky Club, just wait for your death!
