Glory’s global doubles competition kicked off under the scorching sun!
Fans entered the arena as celebrities warmed up the stage, and the commentators were also well prepared.
This time, Brother Cai sat in the commentator booth, commentating on the first doubles game with his own great and little demon kings.
Brother Mouth was still the main commentator today. Brother Mouth asked Bai Cai, “Are you confident today?”
Brother Cai smiled slightly and replied generously, “Confident.”
Fans couldn’t help but scream and cheer, while a certain group of messy FTW fans even wrote 300 word short essays about the ‘little wife’ between the great and little demon kings, recounting anecdotes about their life together.
Stories such as the jungler king eloping, leaving his support sitting alone in the commentator stand, and other such stories.
The developer daddies were really capable!
In fact, Brother Vegetable’s mentality was quite average. Little Lunatic Wei always needed to coax him in order to turn his salted fish mentality into that of a domineering bully.
However, he was very stable today, as stable as a queen in her palace, and his little face was full of confidence.
The fans whose hearts were a bit flustered were instantly reassured, thinking that the great and little demon kings were going to be okay. They may not necessarily win the championship, but they wouldn’t make fools of themselves.
The haters chuckled sarcastically. “Confidence? Who’s giving him such confidence!”
“Waiting for Close & Quiet to be stuck in the outer zone.”
“Why not rest and recover after winning the singles championship? Why insist on participating in the doubles competition? If they have time, shouldn’t they go and train for the team competition?”
“That’s right, Y1 didn’t sign up for doubles. It’s hard to chew if you eat too much; they should keep their energy up to fight for the main event!”
Fans fought against the haters, and the haters retorted back. There was no need to discuss this kind of noise further.
The only effective way to shut up the haters was to slap them in the face on the spot––
You say I can’t do it, but I’ll just show you what I can do!
The BP segment arrived, and everyone stared at the screen. Of course, the director also focused the main camera on Lu Feng and Wei Xiao.
In the game, they’d even hosted a special guessing session, where players could bet on the talents that the great and little demon kings would pick.
‘Twins’ had the highest support rate!
What was ‘twins’? It meant that these two talent kaleidoscopes would choose the exact same talent.
For example, in the solo competition, Close had gone on a killing spree with his talents––shadow thief, death knight, immortal warlock, and storm hunter, all talents that were capable of extraordinary feats.
Quiet was also able to use these four talents, and he was quite good with them.
Having two gods of slaughter take the same four talents? This kind of scene could only happen with FTW!
Another guess that was highly popular concerned the soul warlock.
Whether or not Little Lunatic Wei would take the soul warlock was something that the fans all had their own opinions about.
Someone said: “Not necessarily. If they can get the special skill Fury, then no one would be able to deal with Close’s ten light arcs.”
“That’s a bit ambitious. More light arcs on top of ten light arcs!”
“Ten light arcs is already an overflow of damage. Wouldn’t eleven light arcs make us see the light?”
“No, no, such extreme operations strain the body too much. I feel sorry for the great demon king’s shoulders!”
“Why not have the great demon king use the soul warlock, and let the little lunatic pull off a perfect ten?”
“Eh?”

“Sttttt!”

Close: Shadow thief, space-time knight, death knight, blood warrior.
Quiet: Soul warlock, berserker thief, shadow thief, blood raven thief.
No immortal warlock!
No storm hunter!
These two talent kaleidoscopes had given up on showing off to the heavens!
Countless fans were greatly disappointed, feeling that FTW might not really care about the doubles competition. They thought that the two of them might just have come to play around.
But there were also fans with sharp eyes who discovered the bright spot. “Although they’re not twins, they’re actually four pairs of CPs!”
They were indeed sets of pairs.
The shadow thief and soul warlock, the space-time knight and the berserker thief, the death knight and the shadow thief’s famous double dark combo, not to mention the officially acknowledged double blood CP, the blood thief and blood warrior.
The audience who’d caught onto this point all felt good again!
This was their ship!
FTW’s top-jungler CP was real!
Before now, Old Teacher Yuan hadn’t yet seen the talents they’d chosen. Once he saw the matching interface clearly, Yuan Ze’s reaction was: “…………”
Damn it, Big Miss, your bias is as big as the Pacific Ocean!
That was the space-time knight, death knight, and blood warrior that Laozi had worked so hard and bitterly to train up!
All to make a goddamn wedding dress for Little Lunatic Wei!
CP fans were only focused on their CP.
The technical emperors were only focused on technical details.
Fu Li understood what was going on with a glance.
Had FTW really abandoned the doubles competition? This was clearly a menacing combination.
The core of a doubles competition was definitely not two people performing solo shows on the Sky Island of Light but rather a doubles performance created by two people working together!
If Lu Feng and Wei Xiao took solo competition talents, then they would be focused on participating and having fun.
Their current line-up was clearly partnered and interlocked in all sorts of ways; how could they not make it to the finals? Did everyone take FTW’s top-jungler core as mere decoration?
In the commentator booth, Brother Mouth naturally wanted to try and ‘interview’ Brother Cai.
Brother Cai was very steady. “Their strength is so-so, just like in the team competition.”
Brother Mouth: “……”
The audience: “……”
Brother Cai, the king of acting cool!
This ambiguous boasting was really deadly.
Saying their strength was so-so, just like in the team competition.
Who didn’t know that FTW’s top-jungler core, which had charged into the semi-finals and had a shot at the distant championship, had relied precisely on these two gods?
Brother Cai, don’t set up a flag. It’ll be a big problem if you can’t win the championship!
It seemed that even the system favored this pair of killing gods. There was a stir in the venue when Close and Quiet landed on the map.
“Battlesong Plains!”
“CQ landed on the Battlesong Plains!”
“Exciting, exciting! Are they going to overkill right from the start of the game?!”
“I have reason to suspect that the system has been tampered with. Isn’t putting them in Battlesong Plains the same as not giving others a chance to survive?”
The map for the doubles was exactly the same as the one for the singles competition. They were both held on the Sky Island of Light, and the only difference was the addition of team mode.
Two people per team. Buff skills could be used on their teammates, and DPS skills wouldn’t harm them.
Everything else was the same. Fight when encountering others, then traverse the map after fighting. Whoever picked up the Heart of Sky Island would be the final winner.
Battlesong Plains was a famous fighting zone on Sky Island.
The terrain was unobstructed, and equipment flashed and shone everywhere on the ground. Regardless of whether they were level one or max level, naked or fully geared; as long as they saw an opponent, it was time to fight!
If you don’t fight me, then I’ll fight you; if you don’t fight them, then they would send you back home!
There was no cover like there was in Moonlight Wetlands, no treasure hunting at the bottom of Falling Star Lake, and definitely no maze exploration like in Shining Gold Temple…
There were only the plains here, solely face-to-face battles where one side had to die in order for the other to survive.
The commentators quickly introduced the situation on Sky Island.
The great and little demon kings parachuted into Battlesong Plains, Xie He and Miller were in Moonlight Wetlands, Yuan Ze and Old G stepped into the Thousand Needle Forest, God Kim’s situation was a bit cruel as he’d actually landed in the Shining Gold Temple once again. Fortunately, he wasn’t alone this time. With Captain Li around, the proud flower wasn’t afraid of getting lost!
The three teams from the Chinese competition zone all landed in rather mysterious places.
Sleep God and Cong Yi ran into Fu Li and Eurostar at Falling Star Lake.
Money and Moonlit landed in the Thousand Needle Forest, turned a corner, and encountered Yuan Ze and Old G.
With this kind of randomization, they didn’t even need to make it to the central zone, let alone the final round, in order to smash heads together and lose all their health in the outer zones!
At the beginning of the fight, there was no doubt that the audience was most looking forward to seeing who would get First Blood!
Close had been able to obtain First Blood in difficult terrains like Falling Star Lake and Moonlight Wetlands. Now that they’d landed straight into the Battlesong Plains, wasn’t First Blood clearly within their grasp?
The director naturally locked the camera on Close, afraid of missing any exciting moments.
Close had chosen the death knight talent after landing, and Quiet was using the shadow thief.
‘Double dark’ didn’t refer to using two shadow thieves, it was using the death knight and shadow thief together.
This was because both talents came from the clans of night: one had come from Hell, and the other went to Hell. The other reason why this combo was called ‘double dark’ was that they were regular partners in top-jungler combinations.
Close’s death knight could charge in to start and end the fight, while Quiet’s shadow thief shifted around treacherously.
After landing in the Battlesong Plains that provided them with a panoramic view, the two of them almost instantly locked in on their prey.
After picking up an iron sword, their initial skill points were all allocated to DPS skills. The other side’s berserker warrior was obviously taken aback when Close approached.
This doubles team was also melee-based. They had one berserker thief and one berserker warrior, and had also been preparing to slaughter their way through after arriving at the Battlesong Plains. Unfortunately, they had a bad start and encountered the great and little demon kings.
The death knight used its heavy blade to sanction them, and the shadow thief snuck around to attack from behind.
This precise hit triggered a critical strike, and Shadow Attack stacked up two layers of damage marks!
The berserker thief and berserker warrior weren’t slow to react, either. They launched their scythe to attack, but just as they were about to lock in on the shadow thief, Close shifted and stood steadily in front of Quiet.
The scythe hit, but it landed on the death knight instead!
The audience in the live broadcast room yelled, “Oh my god, this cooperation!”
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing! The great demon king really spoils the little lunatic!”
Spoiling or not was secondary. Strategy was the most important thing.
If the berserker thief’s scythe had locked onto the shadow thief, then the berserker warrior’s bold and resolute skill would easily be able to take his life after Quiet was pulled over to their side.
However, things were different when the death knight was the one locked in. Did the berserker thief even dare to pull him over?
If their hand slipped and they pulled him over, then it would be the same as handing the death knight a double kill!
The berserker thief naturally wouldn’t make such a low level mistake, but that meant that his scythe hadn’t been useful and he would now have to wait for the cooldown to end.
Three seconds wasn’t very long, but it was enough for the shadow thief to sneak up to him and land a set of attacks.
The four of them only had one skill each, and they were all level one. They could only fight using positioning and basic attacks.
Both the shadow thief and berserker thief could stack combos in the early stages and could trigger critical strikes or enhance their basic attacks by landing hits.
The death knight and berserker warrior both had control skills, and the outcome would depend on when their opponents used their skills and whether or not the other side could evade them.
The audience watched as the two sides fought together. The holographic projection showed the four figures, filled with fighting spirit. Their exquisite operations were presented perfectly, causing bursts of excited cheers from the spectators.
This was indeed a global competition. There were no weak teams!
Unfortunately, the berserker thief and berserker warrior gradually declined. That scythe that Close had blocked for Quiet had been too critical.
The berserker thief who’d had his combo broken couldn’t hold up against the shadow thief’s shadow attack.
It was difficult for basic attacks to hold up against the shadow thief’s critical hit damage. After the berserker thief fell, the berserker warrior started to try and retreat…
There was another difference between the doubles and singles competition.
In the doubles, a teammate could be resurrected. In the singles, death meant elimination.
The berserker warrior wanted to run away and wait until he’d accumulated enough skill points before coming up with a way to revive his teammate, but…
The death knight’s skill cooldown ended. Just as he was knocked away, the shadow thief stabbed a knife into his stomach.
The berserker warrior’s health plummeted, going from half health to critical in just half a second!
First Blood!
FTW.Quiet double kill!
The one who’d gotten First Blood this time wasn’t Close, and it was more than just First Blood.
Getting a double kill right at the start of the game made Quiet famous across the Sky Island of Light in just one fight!
The audience applauded wildly. As long as the kills belonged to the two of them, it didn’t matter which one of the two had gotten the credit.
Weren’t the little lunatic and the great demon king a pair? There was no need to split things between them!
The commentator had sharp eyes and was shocked to find danger approaching. “That’s not good, someone has surrounded them!”
This was the worst thing about the Battlesong Plains. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The biggest fear was that the next fight would come before they could recover!
The audience had noticed it too. And it wasn’t just someone!
There were two teams!
Two teams who were at full health!
The author has something to say:
Attention!
The four people up ahead have already been surrounded by the great and little demon kings!
thank you for the chapter!!
PFFT- That author’s note- It’s accurate, as expected of the author HAHAHAHAHA
Surrounding the demon kings? What are you talking about? You’ve just come to deliver heads to the big and little demon kings ah
+1

“All to make a goddamn wedding dress for Little Lunatic Wei”? 😂😂😂😂😂
And that author’s note is so accurate and funny!!
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the chapter!
Just wondering if there’s somewhere I can pay for more early chapters.
The comparison of the team training to a wedding dress is too cute. Captain Yan is too cute.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter!
