Without a doubt, the ferocity of Xie He’s outburst blew everyone away.

The three from the Team of Gods were unfazed as they were well-aware of Xie He’s abilities. However, the audience were in shock as they had never seen Xie He display such skill even back at FTW.

EVE was shocked as well. From the two years that Xie He had been with them, they knew that he was strong, that he was powerful, and that his understanding of Glory was a solid step above theirs; yet they had never seen him like this.

But Echo had.

At that time, she had recently picked up this homeless wildcat.

In the mire, rooted in adversity, standing alone in a third-rate team, Xie He was like a serrated blade that tore past fiendish obstacles, refracting a dazzling transcendent light.

He, who was once a world champion and top-tier mid laner, had actually been reduced to being an accompanying player for a second-string team.

Despite the abject humiliation, the scrawny young man still showed formidable spirit. Within him, was a conviction to win despite the odds and a domineering spirit that held fast even as the canyon exploded around them. His obstinacy allowed him to keep his head up even when his dignity was trampled underfoot.

Echo was a businesswoman, so she acquired Xie He.

This diamond in the rough was dug up at an astronomical price that her father felt was unreasonable.

At that time, her father warned her, “His heart doesn’t belong here.”

Echo said, “The spirit of esports has no geographical borders.”

Her father scoffed and didn’t touch on it further.

And what was the result?

Xie He was indeed excellent. Her eye for talent was as sharp as ever.

Xie He also had sufficient commercial value that generated huge returns for EVE.

EVE, a powerhouse on the decline, went on to stabilise its position. Although it never won the World Tournament, the actual results each year were noteworthy, and EVE steadily gained more fans. They were just short of that one last step.

Xie He was loyal – this was something Echo understood.

Xie He wanted to go home – this was also something that Echo understood.

Countless times, Echo wondered if she should let him go.

It wasn’t until she witnessed today’s Xie He that the answer finally surfaced in her heart.

His loyalty was admirable but also a heavy shackle, a feeling that was as tender as it was painful.

Having just taken a double kill, Xie He was in peak condition.

The hidden prowess three years ago and the accumulated power three years since… erupted in this game and truly ignited Glory’s canyon.

Although Ning Zhehan and Bai Cai had just been killed, they did not feel the faintest vexation and were instead thoroughly impressed.

Xie He was so strong that even his opponents were struck with appreciation.

Wei Xiao, who was sweeping the jungle, said enviously, “Spectacular play.”

As expected, Close’s former teammates from the illustrious Team of Gods were each extraordinary players in their own right.

It was really a blessing to be able to fight freely against them!
