On the morning of the next day, on the outskirts of Longjing City, at the national Yuhun Sports Park, the drivedragon club base.
Wu Linglong was helping a plainly dressed old man sit down in the garden.
He looked very humble, and he treated the old man like a good student who saw the principal, and he was as obedient as he wanted.
After talking about some colorful topics, the old man suddenly sighed: "We haven't seen you for three years. Xiao Wu, you seem to have matured a lot."
Wu Linglong lowered his head and smiled.
"I'm still far behind, haha. If I really want to be more mature than before, it's all thanks to your age. Without your promotion, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Hehehe... What I don't have is, Xiao Wu, wherever your talent is, gold will always shine."
The old man had a kind face and said with a smile: "Actually, the main reason I came here in person today is to tell you something."
Wu Linglong listened carefully.
"Ai Lao, I listen to everything you say."
"Um."
The old man suddenly entered serious mode.
The kind smile just now became quite meaningful.
"The competition organizing committee will not pursue the matter of that team this time."
Wu Linglong's heart moved, which team that team was, he immediately thought of it.
"The audit team of Yuhun International is already on the way. It is expected to arrive tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. At that time, the competition organizing committee will issue new rules. The rules of the finals will be adapted to the world competition in advance. I think you already know where the most critical point is.
Already."
Wu Linglong was secretly shocked. He never expected that Yuhun International's audit team would arrive so quickly and arrive tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow?
Is there already key evidence proving that Lin Xiao was not involved in match-fixing, or is it conclusively proven that he was match-fixing?
Before he could figure out the question, he was already asked about the so-called 'most critical point'.
He quickly asked: "Is it possible that the heroic spirit projection summons is allowed to be used in the arena?"
Ai Lao nodded slightly, "Yes, to be precise, the upper limit of the soul suppressor has been raised. Are you guys ready?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ai, we already finished it a month ago."
Participating in the experiment and 'inoculating' the heroic spirit projection fragments is a necessary step for all Soul Controllers except Lin Xiao who want to summon the heroic spirit projection. Although there are risks, they still have no hesitation.
This year is really important.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if you risk your life, you will still win.
"That's good. The land of Longzhou will remember the sacrifices of heroes. You are all good."
Ai Lao nodded with satisfaction. Of course he had known the news for a long time, and he was just asking now to pave the way for what he would say next.
"To say that we are heroes or something like that, Mr. Ai is exaggerating. This is our responsibility. We just want to contribute as much as possible to the country."
"Okay, it's a good idea to have this idea. If that young boy can have such a high level of consciousness as you, things will be much easier to handle."
Wu Linglong was silent.
He still couldn't help but ask: "So...did he participate in match-fixing?"
"No, this can be said to be the best news I have heard in a while. I am sure it is gone."
"Very good."
Wu Linglong also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Xiao is a person of bad character, then it is definitely not a wise choice to place Longzhou's future on him.
When introduced, he will definitely try his best to solve this problem.
But now it seems that there is no need to do that.
"What do you think is the chance of winning against that young team this time?"
Wu Linglong pondered for a few seconds and said: "It used to be 99%, but now that the rules have been revised, it may only be about 70%... Please forgive me for being humble, does Mr. Ai want us to win, or does he want us to lose?
"
"If I say I hope you lose, will you lose?"
Wu Linglong knew that he had asked a stupid question, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "No."
He knew that it would be more beneficial to the country if lnd won the championship than if dd won the championship.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was an opportunity for the country to take off.
But even if Ai Lao, who is the country's third-in-command, asks about this kind of thing, he will not give in.
To be precise, there is no concession, and Ai Lao will not even raise such a request.
The quota for the World Championship belongs to Yuhun International. If the match-fixing is detected, the country will be deprived of its qualifications and it will be difficult for anyone to come.
"Very well, you are all great young men. I am really proud of you, but if possible, I still hope you can listen to what this bad old man like me has to say."
"You say?"
Ai Lao squinted his eyes and said: "The projection summoning of heroic spirits is extremely powerful and takes a huge toll on the human body. If possible, I hope you will not overuse it on the field."
Wu Linglong was stunned.
"You want me to try to end the game in the early and mid-term?"
"It's not about trying your best, but it must not be postponed to the later stage. Do you understand?"
Wu Linglong's eyes rolled rapidly and he nodded slightly.
"I understand that if it is delayed until the later stage, then I must try my best, otherwise it may be judged as a negative game by Yuhun International, but if I try my best, it will cause a lot of harm to my body, which will affect my health.
In the following World Championships, the gains outweigh the losses, is this what you mean, Mr. Ai?"
"Well, Yuhun International's review of each regional final is extremely strict. Of course, fake matches will be immediately disqualified. The consequences of negative matches are also very serious. You know it."
Wu Linglong looked serious.
"Yes, the entire team will be dragged over to undergo a psychological qualification review. Depending on the severity, you will also be deprived of the qualification to participate in the World Championship... Don't worry, Mr. Ai, I will definitely not let the game be delayed until the later stages."
"Very good, then I can rest assured."
Ai Lao nodded, stood up and walked out of the garden.
Wu Linglong did not go over to help him this time because Ai Lao's personal bodyguard had already arrived.
He walked all the way outside the club before returning to the lounge.
The coach and teammates were all waiting here, looking at him nervously.
Until a smile appeared on his face.
"Brothers, it seems it's time for us to show our true strength."
...
In the lnd Yuhun Athletic Club, Lin Xiao was in daily training when he was suddenly called over by Zhao Xiangzhuo.
He was a little confused, but when he saw the coach's face flushed with excitement, he knew that this must be good news.
Then sure enough, he learned that the finals five days later would adopt the World Championship rules in advance.
"In other words, I can use the projection summon of heroic spirits?"
"Yes, we finally have a chance to win!"
"I go...?"
Lin Xiao couldn't believe it.
Although I have heard some related rumors before, when this matter is really confirmed, I still can't help but be surprised, oh no, surprised.
What a surprise! This is it!
Zhao Xiangzhuo and Dai Motao hugged each other excitedly, along with the assistant and others beside them.
The atmosphere suddenly became jubilant.
After the short carnival the day before yesterday, everyone's expressions have become a little heavy since last night, because dd eliminated bh with an almost crushing attitude and advanced to the finals 2-0.
Compared with their difficult game, dd won so perfectly. Everyone has returned to the peak state of their careers, and even made some small breakthroughs, while fb and hb are teams of the same level, not even as good as
hb.
Everyone in lnd knew what kind of monster they would face next. Facing dd, it was almost impossible for them to win.
But this news gave them all hope of victory.
Zhao Xiangzhuo laughed wildly and said: "What an eye-opener! I didn't expect that Yuhun International would make such a crucial adjustment at this time, haha! In this way, we only need to wait until the late stage so that you can use the Heroic Spirit Projection Summon.
Already."
Dai Motao also smiled from ear to ear.
"We have too many good tactical arrangements. We just need to focus on this point. After a while, I will call Su Jinwu and the others over and we can discuss it together."
Lin Xiao scratched his head, feeling a little stressed.
To be honest, he didn't think they would have an advantage by delaying the game until the later stages.
Because you can guess with your toes that Wu Lingtaki and the others must have had fragment inoculation and implantation, which means that like Jinkara, they can also use heroic spirit projection summons.
After all, they are going to participate in the World Championship. Drivedragon can be said to be the strongest team in Longzhou. Lin Xiao does not believe that the superiors will not draft them into the national team.
But in comparison, he is the only one among them who can do this, and on the opposite side, it is certain that at least three people will be included in the national team's roster, which means that at least three people can summon the heroic spirit.
If he fights three against one, it's no wonder the pressure isn't great.
Dai Motao went to call someone, so he asked Zhao Xiangzhuo.
"This? You don't have to worry about this, because they will definitely not delay you until the later stages."
The beautiful coach had a confident smile on her face, which made Lin Xiao a little confused.
"Why?"
"Because there are side effects when they use this technology, and you can summon heroic projections unscrupulously."
Lin Xiao understood immediately.
He still has such a huge advantage in terms of emotions.
He was almost ignored!
"I see." He couldn't help but laugh, "Wu Linglong and the others don't want to engage in meaningless internal friction with me, so they won't delay the summoning of heroic spirits with me until the later stages, right?"
"That's it, you will be teammates in the World Championship soon. Let's leave all the discussion to the training matches. They can't hold back in official competitions, especially in the finals of the Dragon Super Championship.
After all, this will directly determine the ownership of the World Championship tickets."
Lin Xiao nodded. Of course he knew this. During the World Championships, whoever wins the Silver Dragon Cup will become the national team. After all, they have tickets.
In the meantime, the country will temporarily acquire the winning team, which is mandatory, but it will also give the team owners a price that is enough to shut them up.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but start to fantasize about how much money the country would pay to buy his club.
However, it is better not to do this kind of early celebration. Even if dd can only play in the early and mid-term, the intensity will be difficult for them to compete with.
But tactically, they do have a great advantage. Compared to the previous situation where they had no advantage at all, it is much better.
"But, strengthen the early and mid-term?"
Lin Xiao touched his chin.
The intensity on his side is always online, and if he wants to strengthen, he also strengthens his teammates.
But who should be strengthened, Meng Ziran? Su Jinwu? Or Mei Meirou and Qianjin?
It feels like it’s not easy for anyone to strengthen.
Mainly because the time is too short.
And if he strengthens his side, will dd not make preparations?
