The Legends of Glory

Chapter 14: Showdown (1)

"Playoffs, here we come!"

With the match that had just ended, the stadium was alive with cheers.

After this round of matches finished, the regular matches of Glory Professional Alliance Season 2 were officially at an end, and the team rankings for this year were set. Six teams had already secured their spots before this round, while numbers 7 and 8 had only just slaughtered their way into these last two playoff spots, earning the right to compete for the ultimate championship. The cheers now came from the fans of these two teams, while the members of these two teams each gathered into a group hug onstage.

At this time, Team Tyranny's Captain Han Wenqing also stood, and let out a long breath.

!!

We won.

He turned to look at his gleefully celebrating teammates. But when these grinning teammates saw their captain looking toward them, they all suddenly froze, as though in a snapshot. And then they all became more subdued, their cheering no longer as raucous as before.

Han Wenqing, whether in the eyes of his opponents or his teammates, was an intimidating person in both appearance and spirit. With his one glance, the members of Tyranny stopped baring their teeth and brandishing their claws like they were earlier. They high-fived and shook hands, politely congratulating each other, and then they clustered around Han Wenqing.

"Captain, we won," someone said.

"Yes, we won," Han Wenqing nodded. "However, this is only the start." As he spoke, he turned to look somewhere onstage.

"Yes yes yes." The members all nodded their heads. Without looking, they knew at whom their captain was staring.

Jeon Jungkook .

Jeon Jungkook of Team Excellent Era.

During last season's playoffs, Tyranny was eliminated after losing to Excellent Era. But the story of their captain Han Wenqing and Jeon Jungkook began even before then, stretching all the way back to not long after Glory had launched and everyone was still at level 30, or so it was told. In the Glory Arena, there were two characters with a perfect win rate. And now, anyone who knew even just a little about Glory would know these two characters.

The Battle Mage with the title of Battle God, "One Autumn Leaf"– Excellent Era's Captain Jeon Jungkook .

The Striker with the title of King of Fighting, "Desert Dust"– their own Captain Han Wenqing.

But the Battle God had thoroughly sealed his title as a god in Season 1, knocking over powerful opponents in the playoffs and ultimately achieving the championship. Meanwhile, Desert Dust fell on the Battle God's path to godhood, seemingly unworthy of the title King of Fighting. Some fans would joke that he was the king of fighting, of hand-to-hand combat, so when he met someone who didn't use fists, he was not their king. In the end, the title of Battle God was more sweeping, with no rivals beneath the sun.

Han Wenqing didn't care about jokes like that. But this opponent, Jeon Jungkook – everyone in Tyranny knew that their captain cared very much about him.

Their playoff journey last season had been terminated by Jeon Jungkook and the Excellent Era he led. Desert Dust's old perfect-win record in the early days of the Glory game had also been broken by One Autumn Leaf.

After that, in-game or in offline Glory matches, the two of them had faced off against each other in countless battles.

All the way until the Glory Alliance was formed. In this completely professional competitive Glory setting, this pair of old foes met once again. But onstage, everyone could only see Han Wenqing. Jeon Jungkook , strangely, never revealed his face, and refused all photos. These players generally could only see him in abrupt and coincidental meetings in some random places before or after matches. No one knew why Jeon Jungkook insisted on doing this. In the eyes of Tyranny, who held a very hostile attitude toward him, his purposefully mysterious position was particularly disgusting.
