Chapter 333 (1/2)

Chapter 333: First Battle Broken Halberd

The opening ceremony started. Singing and dancing on stage were China’s top stars. The last to take the stage was a long haired, oval faced, absolute goddess. Even Ye Cang knew this person. One of China’s most famous star – Zuo Yiyi, two times film queen, three times best leading actress, three times best female singer. Even Ye Cang had watched her drama ‘Great Defence of the Peasants’.

“Last time’s host was sister Mai Li. I know everyone is already used to Sister Mai Li, but she’s on her honeymoon, so today’s host will be me. Please forgive me if I do anything wrong~” Zuo Yiyi smiled.

Beside her was the specialist commenter, known amongst the community as Brother Zhao, Zhao Jingping. Having a serious expression while wearing pajamas and a nightcap was his trademark. “This year’s commenter is still me. Last time, Flame Dragon Union made an unexpected mistake. VastSea was just too formidable. Because of that, I couldn’t show my face to Brother Zhong for half a year. This year, I still predict that Flame Dragon Union will seize the crown!”

“Oh, watch your words. I’ll remember that. If Flame Dragon Union can’t win the championship, there will be a punishment game this year!” The so called Brother Zhong, an outspoken middle-aged man, grinned. He wore a daoist robe, but his hair was a flamboyant gold.

“Goddess Yiyi, which team are you looking forwards to this year? Everyone knows that you are also a gaming enthusiast, otherwise you wouldn’t have lost that 1 billion federal dollars…” Brother Zhao’s words made Zuo Yiyi embarrassed. “My gambling has been exposed. This year, I’ll still bet on Flame Dragon Union. Good or bad, I’m still a hard-core Flame Dragon Union fan…”

“Thorns and Roses vs Broken Halberd! 1:2 Odds! Place your bets!” Brother Zhong shouted unexpectedly.

“Thorns and Roses, 30 million!” Zuo Yiyi’s eyebrows jumped, but she still looked like a pretty heroine. Seeing the commenters on both side giving her a look, Zhao Yiyi coughed, embarrassed. “Anyways, the nth A rank professional league preliminaries, officially begins!!!”

“It’s starting. Our first opponent is Broken Halberd. After that is one of Violent Sand, Sad Wind, or Thousand Autumn. Everyone give me your all.” ThornyRose clapped her hands.

“Don’t look down on Broken Halberd. This year, it’s said that Broken Halberd obtained a very outstanding rookie…” The gossip expert ElegantFragrance said.

“Even more reason to destroy their confidence…” FrozenBlood smiled.

Ye Cang silently looked at the surrounding scene. So this is what a professional league is like. It really was spectacular.

“Every division’s first round has been decided. Thorns vs Halberd, let’s look at this fight first. Both sides have new members this year, but Thorns has the biggest change. We have this season’s newcomers with their brilliant performance in Really New Village, the Three Brothers… Although the three brothers are amusing, but here against the clubs, we still have to see their true strength. Just how good is ThornyRose’s judgement? Broken Halberd’s rookie this year is the third place in the rookie competition, so is experienced. Comparing the two teams, besides the unknown three brothers, Thorns and Roses has Miss Rose – ThornyRose, Night Empress – FrozenBlood, and The Hundred Flower Archer – ElegantFragrance; all three are superstars with S rank characters. Just the three of them are enough to bring the team to the top 8, although that’s only if they don’t meet a powerful team…” Brother Zhao said, rubbing his nightcap.

ThornyRose clenched her teeth. This was Thorns and Rose’s weakness. Although they can enter the top 8, but that was only if they didn’t meet any powerful teams. The moment they had met Slaughterhouse, they were utterly defeated. That’s when she realised the difference between ideal and reality.

“Don’t look down on Thorns and Roses. ThornyRose, FrozenBlood, and ElegantFragrance are all top athletes; only the rest of the club is truly too weak, especially after the last president’s mess. However, sooner or later, these three flowers will blossom…” Brother Zhong smiled.

“Indeed, of the female players, ThornyRose and FrozenBlood are known as the golden duo, never leaving each other’s side, with love more solid than gold, the perfect example of lesbians…” Zuo Yiyi said with a light smile.

“Hey, Goddess Yiyi, what century is your information from? ThornyRose reportedly has a fiance now, her partner is Brother Hero of the three brothers. She has completely abandoned FrozenBlood…” Brother Zhong helplessly corrected.

“What!? Something so big happened while I was busy the last two months!? But they were the official pairing! I’m even a fan of the lesbian pair! Too disappointing, I’m now an anti-fan…” Zuo Yiyi cried out.

On the field, ThornyRose was speechless. What do you mean the perfect example of lesbians! I’m not a damn lesbian! Who spread this rumor! You better not let me find you!!

ElegantFragrance sneezed. Is someone being jealous of my grace?

ThornyRose looked at the Broken Halberd’s leader – HalberdInSand, a very capable person. He had taken a B rank team and brought it up to A rank. Even the third place rookie was willing to join. Her eyes wandered towards that rookie, sorceress – CapableLiu. Clearly Misty Rain and the Freedom Alliance both would have invited her, but she still persisted on joining such a second-rate team. It truly made no sense. Was she messing around with her professional career?

“Who would have thought we’d meet an elite team in the first round… Please go easy…” The bald HarberdInSand embraced CapableLiu and said with a grin.

“So they had that sort of relationship…” ThornyRose was stunned. She then said quietly, “Do your best…”
