Chapter 809: Choosing the Strongest Team (Part 2)
With everyone's encouragement, Lei Yao's psychological burden was greatly reduced. However, the online public opinion became increasingly bloody and violent, with accusations and insults directed at Lei Yao everywhere.
Some mocked Lei Yao, saying he was old and declining, and that he should step down sooner rather than later. Others said myq had been on the throne for too long, and Lei Yao had become complacent. Even worse, some simply fabricated all sorts of negative stories to discredit Lei Yao and myq.
Ruan Qi did not comment on these remarks. She simply asked Qian Duo to gather evidence and bring all the haters to court after the competition.
Over the next few days, the group stage continued. Although myq had already finished the competition, Ruan Qi still took everyone to the competition site to observe the opponents' duel.
After watching the day's game, everyone returned to the hotel to review and practice. After the training was over, Ruan Qi took Lei Yao back to his room to treat his hand injury.
Ruan Qi's master had a set of acupuncture techniques passed down from their ancestors that could quickly heal injured bones. However, this acupuncture method was extremely painful and required five consecutive days of treatment, a torture most people couldn't endure.
Ruan Qi had previously avoided using this acupuncture method because she was afraid it would be too painful and would affect Lei Yao's condition. But now, she had no choice but to use it.
On the first day of acupuncture, Lei Yao fainted from the pain just as Ruan Qi had expected.
It was the first time that Qian Duo saw someone actually faint from pain. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He supported Lei Yao's body, at a loss as to what to do.
Ruan Qi was very calm: "Put him on the sofa, he just fainted from the pain and will wake up soon."
Qian Duo carefully laid Lei Yao flat, still finding it unbelievable: "Does this needle really hurt that much? Can a person really faint from the pain?"
"How about you try it, Aunt Qian?" Ruan Qi pulled out a needle.
Qian Duo immediately took two steps back and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, no, that silver needle is quite expensive, you'd better not waste it on me!"
Seeing how frightened he was, Ruan Qi couldn't help but curl her eyes in amusement and explained to him, "I used energy when I inserted the needle just now. The acupoint was opened by the energy, so it caused such intense pain."
Qian Duo didn't understand ancient martial arts, so he was confused. However, he had read many martial arts novels, so he scratched his head and asked, "Is the energy you're talking about the same as using internal force to open the Ren and Du meridians? If the internal force can open the Ren and Du meridians, the person's cultivation talent will become amazing."
Ruan Qi nodded. "That's also true. The Qi will open up the acupoints, speeding up the circulation of Qi and blood in the body, and the Thunder God's injuries will heal faster."
Qian Duo understood after this explanation.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as Thor's injury heals, that's all that's fine. You don't know what's going on online right now. I confiscated his phone yesterday, fearing he'd be affected by the online chatter."
When talking about the online public opinion, Ruan Qi's face turned cold.
"Someone must be stirring up trouble online. I've asked Brother Chen to investigate. Qian Ma, please take note of the most active keyboard warriors and haters. After the global competition is over, we'll take care of them together."
…
Under Ruan Qi's meticulous treatment, Lei Yao's hand injury quickly healed. Seeing his rapid recovery, everyone was overjoyed, their fighting spirit boiling with excitement.
Seven days passed quickly.
Amidst various online speculations about myq and Lei Yao, the Rongyao League group stage has ended and the semi-finals have officially begun.
The semi-finals will last for six days and will be divided into two parts.
The first half is the knockout round, which lasts for four days. The eight teams that advance from the group stage will face off in a best-of-five series to determine the four qualifying teams.
The second half is the semi-finals, which lasts for two days and will determine the final two winning teams from the four qualified teams to enter the finals.
On the first day of the semi-finals, Ruan Qi arrived at the competition venue early in the morning with his teammates.
After a fierce competition in the group stage, the top eight teams were determined. When myq appeared at the competition venue, he immediately attracted the attention of the other seven teams.
Jin Yuanbao felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Why are they looking at us like that?"
Qian Duo: "It's all because of those people online." Keyboard warriors exist not only in China but also abroad. Myq's series of mistakes have become a hot topic for many people after dinner. Whether on the Internet or the Internet, countless people are discussing Lei Yao's situation.
As the top eight teams in the global competition, these teams naturally know about this.
The gazes from all directions were too intense, and Ruan Qi could sense the complex meanings contained in them. Her eyebrows twitched, and she stepped forward, blocking Lei Yao.
She returned every glance directed at Lei Yao. Though the girl looked harmless, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were clear and direct. She stared at those people intently, and those with ill intentions felt uneasy and unconsciously averted their gazes.
Ruan Qi fought a hundred enemies with his eyes, and snorted proudly.
Lei Yao felt her protection and felt warm in his heart, "Xiao Qi, I'm fine..."
"Then they can't look at you like that." The protective little girl was unreasonable. "You are my team member. I will beat up anyone who bullies you."
Lei Yao pursed his lips, but couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Liu Wanwan and the others couldn't help laughing.
Their little captain is so soft and cool, so adorable.
The minor disturbance was settled with Ruan Qi's glare. After the audience and contestants were seated, the competition began soon.
The first event was again a computer draw. The eight teams were divided into four groups and played a best-of-five series.
Ruan Qi sat on the bench. Qian Duo beside her put his hands together and kept chanting "Don't draw K6, don't draw the crown, don't draw K6, don't draw the crown".
K6 and Crown have been the two strongest teams in the Glory League for the past few years. K6 has won the World Championship for three consecutive years, and while Crown didn't win the title, they still placed second, crushing the other teams.
Although Qian Duo has confidence in myq, he also hopes that his opponent is weaker. If myq really draws k6 or the crown, then the game will be difficult to win.
Qian Duo prayed to God madly.
However, the God in the East seemed to have no control over the West, and Qian Duo's prayers were not received. When the drawing on the big screen stopped, myq's opponent was finally decided - k6!
Qian Duo immediately turned hostile and cursed "Damn God" through gritted teeth.
The rest of myq took it well. For them, it didn't matter who their opponent was. They were bound to make it to the finals eventually, and they would face these super-strong teams sooner or later.
After the drawing of lots, the competition began.
The two teams competing today were Crown and BG. Ruan Qi and his teammates watched the game for a while, and only got up and left at lunch time.
However, just as they were leaving the venue, someone stopped them.
"Hello, Xiao Qinglong." The tall young man stood in front of Ruan Qi and extended his hand to her with a smile. "I am the captain of K6, Adam."
