Chapter 1839 1839: Incitement and Division

As Uranus and his group were about to continue into the conference hall, the teams participating in today's competition began to emerge one after another.

The team at the front was the Free team from Country A.

"Hey, old buddies, long time no see!"

Seeing the players from the Free team walking out of the hall, Loki opened his arms and greeted them enthusiastically.

The professional esports community is quite small, and as a long-established top-tier team, they were all very familiar with each other.

"Is that who I think it is? Is it Loki?"

Noticing Loki approaching from a distance, the members of the Free team also stopped in their tracks, with the leading player excitedly saying, "When did you get here? Did you catch our match?"

"Sorry! Brother Wade, my little Spider."

Loki feigned guilt and said, "I was supposed to catch the last match, but I ran into a few old acquaintances on the way in and unfortunately missed it."

"Old acquaintances?" Wade, the one who was addressed, paused for a moment, puzzled, and asked, "What kind of old acquaintances could make you miss our Free team's match?"

"Of course, they are also one of the participating teams", Loki said, his expression turning into one of admiration as he excitedly continued, "They might be the strongest opponent for our Pantheon in this competition."

"Strongest team?" Wade tilted his head with a face full of skepticism and asked, "Which team could possibly earn such high praise from you guys at Pantheon?"

Although Wade's tone was curious, it carried a hint of defiance.

However, this was understandable; they were all top players, and everyone was very confident in their own strength. Even Pantheon wouldn't dare claim they could easily defeat other teams.

As the former champion team, Pantheon was naturally seen as the imaginary enemy by all top teams. Wade had no idea how many times he had practiced against Pantheon, just to compete with them on this stage.

The strongest opponent of Pantheon? Loki's implication was clearly that if the Free team wanted to be Panton's adversary, they should step aside because there was another team even stronger than them.

Wade, of course, was not pleased with such words.

"It's the Crowd of Misfits Team!" Loki said. "Haven't you heard? Those guys are quite formidable."

"The Crowd of Misfits Team? Just them?"

Upon hearing that Loki's so-called formidable opponent was the Crowd of Misfits Team, Wade burst into laughter: "Old buddy, is Pantheon a bit out of touch with this new game mode? You actually think those pests are formidable opponents?"

The Crowd of Misfits Team had become notorious; not only did players worldwide know about this group of shameless individuals, even in the professional team circle, people had heard of their style.

Wade had certainly heard of this team that played tricks in competitive arenas.

"No, no, no!"

Loki waved his hand. "Don't let arrogance and prejudice cloud your judgment; some things must be personally experienced to form an opinion."

"Really? Have you guys at Pantheon ever faced them?" Wade asked coldly with a smirk.

"Of course!" Loki replied. "They just enjoy the thrill of manipulating their enemies. If they can toy with top players, would you think they are weak?"

"This…"

Hearing Loki's words, Wade hesitated for a moment but still dismissed it: "Just low-level tactics!"

"Hehe!"

Seeing Wade taking the bait, Loki secretly chuckled to himself and said mysteriously, "They're all from Huaguo and know Kung Fu."

"Kung Fu? Hahaha!"

Had Loki not mentioned this, Wade might have believed his nonsense, but upon hearing the word "Kung Fu", Wade immediately erupted in laughter: "Kung Fu? Have you watched too many movies? They're just a bunch of soft-handed, soft-footed guys!"

Ever since the myth of Kung Fu was shattered by rampant fraud, the term had not only been scorned domestically but had also become a joke internationally. Wade couldn't help but laugh upon hearing it.

"Don't doubt it", Loki pressed on. "Just your Free team, if you face them, you'll definitely lose."

It must be said that Loki was indeed living up to his name, being as cunning as the Loki from myth.

Praising one while stepping on another is the most basic tactic of incitement and division.

The Free team was already composed of individuals who were not easily cowed, and with Loki's subtle provocation, Wade's anger flared up immediately.

"Who do you say will lose?" Wade asked angrily.

"Haha!" Loki smiled and said, "Old buddy, I'm just giving you a heads-up. Don't get too worked up; it won't help on the battlefield. It all comes down to strength."

"Hmph!"

Wade snorted coldly, glaring at Loki, and said, "Don't look down on people. I'll show you who loses and who wins in the match the day after tomorrow."

"Don't get too worked up", Loki feigned a tone of persuasion. "You don't want to head back home in a hurry, do you?"

Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see clearly. Loki's words were clearly stoking the flames, but the furious Free team members did not notice.

"Get lost!"

Wade shot Loki a glare, roughly pushing him aside, and left the conference hall with a displeased look.

Seeing that he had successfully baited Wade, Loki returned to his team with a wicked smile and said, "See? We'll soon find out how strong those guys are."

Pantheon members: "…"

The next day was the European server competition.

As the saying goes, "Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you shall not fear the result of a hundred battles." Although there were no matches that day, the players from various teams had arrived early at the conference hall.

Watching combat videos can't compare to experiencing it in person.

Compared to the major top-tier teams, the Crowd of Misfits Team was somewhat lacking in strength, so they naturally needed to focus on tactics.

Especially with top teams like the Holy Hall and Pantheon in the European server, Fearless and the others had to tailor their strategies and study tactics specifically against these opponents.

"You must be the Crowd of Misfits Team."

As Wang Yu and his group sat in the audience waiting for the competition teams to enter, a sudden awkward voice in Mandarin came from behind.

Upon hearing this, the Quan Zhen members quickly turned around and saw a row of black and white-skinned spectators behind them.

These spectators were all wearing blue and white striped T-shirts, with large "FREE" letters printed on them.

"Free team?"

Wang Yu and the others had watched the matches the day before, and immediately recognized the identity of the spectators behind them.

Fearless even shamelessly boasted, "See? Our name has already spread worldwide; even top professional team players recognize us."

"…"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu and the others were instantly facepalmed. It truly showed that Fearless was the leader of the Quan Zhen Sect; when it came to shamelessness, it was clear Fearless had no self-awareness about his reputation.
