“The Qing Ming branch won!” someone shouted loudly.

It was until this moment that everyone realized something.

The Qing Ming branch had won.

Yes.

Two vs. zero. They completely won. So what if Li Haoran was very powerful?

Swoosh!

The entire testing area was bustling.

Both live and repeat broadcasts and all cameras were zoomed into the expressions of the two presidents.

“We lost!”

The mind of the president of the Chong Yang Branch was in a daze.

How did we lose?!

Furthermore, we lost so badly!

Two vs. zero?

They actually did not win any round of the matches!

How could this be…

The minds of people from the Chong Yang branch went blank. Seemingly, they had not expected such a situation. Even Li Haoran did not see this coming.

They had lost.

It was a complete loss.

“Haha.”

Zhang Yang was overjoyed.

Patting Li Haoran’s shoulder, he cast a sideways glance at the ugly expressions of the Card Creators of the Chong Yang branch. “Haoran, a fine fowl perches only on a fine tree…”

“Some places will only delay talent’s progress.”

Zhang Yang’s implied meaning was profound.

Enraged, the president of the Chong Yang branch was at a loss of words.

At this point…

What else could he say?

Whatever he said would be embarrassing!!!

It was only until this moment that he realized what had happened.

They had lost.

As the strongest finale player, he did not even get a chance to participate in the match!

This was disgusting!

“Continue!” Li Haoran said coldly, “There are three matches in total. There’s still one more left.”

“Your side has already lost,” Zhang Yang said calmly.

“We should continue even if we have lost.”

Li Haoran’s gaze was resolute. “We have to complete all three rounds of the match before the competition is considered over.”

So what if they had lost?

As long as they could win one round…

Chong Yang branch would not lose that much face then!

They would be able to see how he, a three-star Card Creator at his peak, could beat the entire Qing Ming City branch and make them concede defeat fully!

“Hehe.”

Zhang Yang patted his shoulder. “Kid, we have just applied to cancel the match and the higher-ups have agreed.

After all…

It is already two vs. zero, isn’t that right?

In order not to let you guys get a score of three vs. zero and for the sake of your face, we have canceled the match. The higher-ups have good intentions and they have given much thought to this.”

Zhang Yang sighed.

C-canceled?

“President…”

He instinctively glanced in his president’s direction.

The president of Chong Yang branch was looking grim. They had initiated the challenge this time to fight for the sponsorships. If they had won, it was still alright. Now that they had lost, who would give a shit about them?

You are on your own, good luck!

How could this be?

Li Haoran looked dazed.

He was the most powerful three-star Card Creator at his peak!

He was invincible!

He was already at the surmounting card level!

He was certain… He might even be close to being the most powerful three-star Card Creator in history. This should have been a platform to display his prowess and talent!

How did it turn out this way?

He could not understand.

“Big brother.”

Lu Ming moved forward and patted his shoulders. “Are you interested in joining the Qing Ming branch? You can contact me a while later.”

Were all the two-star Card Creators nowadays that complacent?

“Did you misunderstand something?”

Li Haoran glared at Li Haoran furiously. “Winning the exchange match doesn’t mean that you have beat me.”

“But I beat your dad.”

Lu Ming pursed his lips.

Li Haoran was exasperated. “I’m a three-star at my peak and am already a high-level Card Creator. How can you compete with me?!”

“But I beat your dad,” Lu Ming sneered coldly.

“I have won the school championship before. On what basis can you fight with me?”

Li Haoran was enraged.

“But I beat your dad,” Lu Ming said in an unhurried tone.

“Can you stop bringing that up?”

Li Haoran was suffering from an emotional meltdown. “Do you dare to fight with me now?”

“Even your dad lost to me. On what grounds are you competing with me?”

Lu Ming sneered coldly.

“You!”

Li Haoran almost spat a mouthful of blood. What kind of people were in the Qing Ming branch?!

“Let’s go!” he bellowed, turned around and left immediately.

“Hehe.”

The president of the Chong Yang branch gave a grim smile before leaving quickly with his people.

It was such a great embarrassment.

“Hey, hey.”

Smiling, Zhang Yang watched them leave.

Tsk tsk…

He felt ecstatic!

Look, those few guys had turned as white as sheets. How pitiful.

Of course.

He still had some lingering fear in his heart.

Fortunately, Lu Ming was involved. Otherwise, they would be the ones suffering from the torture instead.

“Xiaolu. Li Haoran this child is still very talented. Don’t offend him too badly,”

Zhang Yang consoled him and said.

“What’s there to be afraid of?!”

Lu Ming shrugged his shoulders. “Even if he attains four-star, he’s still a Card Creator and not a four-star assassin.”

“You’re right.”

Zhang Yang could not stifle his laughter.

His aggressiveness could not even be compared to a two-star Card Creator. The other party was all out to bully them, why were they still afraid?

“Well…”

Zhang Yang turned around and said to the vice president. “Write a report about today’s matter and send it to the headquarters. Also, make an announcement in the association’s forum.”

Was he trying to force them to a dead-end?

“This is the outcome of challenging us.”

Zhang Yang was in a good mood.

On the day itself.

The videos of the inter-branch exchange match were broadcast, live-streamed, and had discussion forums, engulfing every nook and cranny.

In the eyes of the people outside the city, this was just an ordinary match. However, in Qing Ming City and Chong Yang City, this match had a great impact!

Qing Ming City branch won! It was a complete victory!

That genius Li Haoran?

He was just a vase in this event.

Even the few players from the Chong Yang branch did not get much screentime. Only their defeated looks and expressions of shock were captured during each ‘slaughter’.

Well…

They were extremely pitiful.

On the contrary, for the Qing Ming branch, Lu Ming and Xiaobai had been given various kinds of close-up shots.

According to sources…

Zhang Yang personally participated in the editing of the video this time.

“This won’t do…

You won’t be able to display the prowess of our Qing Ming branch in this way. Come, edit it like that,” Zhang Yang instructed. “When Xiaobai’s score appears, immediately switch to the ghastly pale face of Guo Wenxin. Right, this is the scene. Over here, add the subtitles: ‘First Blood’!

Come. Switch to the scene with the ugly expression of the president of the Chong Yang branch. Over here, add the subtitles: ‘Double Kill’.

Then, switch to this scene and add ‘Triple Kill’.

Over here, ‘Quadra Kill’.

Over there, ‘Penta Kill’.

Then, when Lu Ming beat Li Aiguo, repeat this again. Fill the entire screen with double kill, triple kill, penta kill again. Last, do a close up on Li Haoran’s facial expression and add the words ‘Team Annihilated’.

Right, right, right. We’ll do this.”

Zhang Yang was having a good time giving the orders.

The staff editing the video gasped coldly. Did they want to offend the Chong Yang branch badly?!

“There’s nothing to be afraid of.

Do you think they will let us go if they win?

We already offended them badly long ago.”

Zhang Yang completely did not care.

“However, Li Haoran has the potential to become a five-star…”

The editing staff was very worried.

“What’s there to be afraid of?!”

Zhang Yang sneered. “Even if he breaks through to five-star, he is just a Card Creator and not a five-star assassin.”

What kind of warped logic was this?

If the other party were to really become a five-star Card Creator, most likely, his identity and status would not be simple? Would it be very difficult to deal with a four-star branch president of a city at the border?

“There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Zhang Yang was in a good mood.

They could consider about these matters in the future. He would get a kick out of this first!

Lu Ming was not afraid either!

Why should he?!

So what if Li Haoran were to progress to five-star?

Hehe.

Most probably, he would have long retired by then!

Hence…

As a result, in various mainstream video channels, the people from the Chong Yang branch made their debut on screen in this kind of ‘remix’. Coupled with the rhythmic double kill, triple kill, penta kill…

It was astounding!

The transmission rate was extremely high!

Within a short time frame of half a day, it had been reached the audience outside of Qing Ming City and Chong Yang City.

“This video…”

Even Lu Ming gasped and accidentally swallowed a mouthful of Liangpi (Liangpi is a noodle-like Chinese dish made from wheat or rice flour. It is a specialty dish originating from the cuisine of Shaanxi Province but has now spread to many other places in China) when he watched it.

Zhang Yang, this guy!

He was so merciless!

“Master.”

Xiaobai cast Lu Ming a glare. “Don’t slurp when you’re eating Liangpi!”

It was annoying.

Each time master ate Liangpi, she would hear slurping sounds. He would then say that he did it in tandem when gasping in cold air; the effect was better in that way.

She could not understand this logic at all!

“Okay.”

Lu Ming coughed.

This child, why is she controlling me in so many things now…

This was really…

In the past, Xiaobai this little girl was only responsible for being obedient and adorable. Now, she was even controlling when he slept, how he ate. Sigh… This kind of life was so good.
