Rise

Han Shihao shook his head: "It's just that I'm a little tired from training, so I just came out to catch my breath."

The man... that is, m nodded slightly, showing some approval: "Yes, your recent training has been too intense, and you should relax a little bit."

As we all know, even in the South Korean lck division, the ssk team as a whole is definitely a team that is more hardworking than other club teams.

Among them, Han Shihao, who is the core soul of the team, worked harder than other teammates.

Twenty-four hours a day, except for eating and sleeping, he devotes almost all the rest of the time to various trainings. Even after the official training schedule of the club is over, he will still drive in the Hanbok king group by himself. Go solo and continue to train yourself.

The finals are coming soon, and he has even stepped up his efforts to actively improve the intensity of his preparation and training.

It is simply a huge training volume that would definitely be unbearable for anyone else.

After commenting on such a sentence, m changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, you don't need to work so hard."

"The intensity is already a little too much, and the coaches and team leaders of your club are very worried about whether your body can handle it—"

"Especially at this time, in fact, you just need to rest and adjust your physical condition."

"Others... it should be your opponent's turn to be nervous."

There is nothing wrong with that.

On the one hand, when the realm of strength has reached Han Shihao's height, there is no need to go through a lot of training to make further breakthroughs, because this is not realistic at all. Standing at the top of the pyramid, you still want to do more. Going further is naturally extremely difficult, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short while.

on the other hand……

Even if he only maintains his current state of strength, Han Shihao can hardly find any opponents in today's world professional e-sports circle.

There are only a few Four Emperors who are qualified to be opponents, and even the top powerhouses of the Seven Kings realm are not enough for him who is now recognized as the leader of the Four Emperors.

To be able to get such unabashed praise from the most respected and admired seniors,

There was still no joy on Han Shihao's face, he just gave a simple "huh" without expressing anything else.

M raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and lowered his head to help the frame on the bridge of his nose:

"so……"

"I still have something on my mind."

"What are you thinking about?" He paused for a while, without giving the younger generation in front of him a chance to answer or refute, m has already continued on his own: "There is no problem within the team; your own state is also Keep up the good work; the finals in a few days... naturally, it shouldn't bring you any pressure."

"So--"

M's gaze is gentle towards Han Shihao, and the pupils under the lens are shining with a wise and thorough light:

"Only because of some other people."

"Or... is it the upcoming finals, does it remind you of someone?"

The night is as cool as water.

The air atmosphere on the terrace became suddenly quiet with this sentence.

Han Shihao remained silent, but his eyelids twitched slightly, falling into M's eyes and making him smile slightly again: "I guessed right...then let me guess again—"

"It's the little guy from China."

"The little guy who played five finals with you in the s1 season."

"It's also... the apprentice of 'that one'."

The voice was still gentle and calm.

But at the moment when he heard this sentence, Han Shihao who was standing in front of M lowered his head slightly, but a sharp sharpness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the subtle changes in the reactions of the juniors in front of him, m smiled slightly again:

"You guessed it right."

"It's also... After so many seasons, after winning the finals year after year, perhaps only the earliest first season is the most challenging one for you."

There is nothing wrong with that.

Perhaps for the vast majority of professional teams and professional players, the World Finals of the S-series itself is already the highest goal and arena they are chasing. There is no need to mention the specific one, any one is the same intense tension.

But this is not the case for Han Shihao.

From s1 to now.

Not counting the upcoming sixth finals this year, he has already participated in five full rounds.

five sessions.

It is a three-time championship.

For ordinary people, it is unattainable, and for most professional e-sports players, it is the highest honor that most professional e-sports players dream of, even if they only hope to win it once, but for him, the trophy has almost given up.

Especially in the past two years, after the ssk team's momentum of dominating the e-sports circle has become more and more unstoppable, even the s-series league, which is recognized as the top glory event, seems to be easy for ssk. For example, the North American season or the European legend team can't create enough threat pressure for them.

And it is indeed as m said at the moment.

Compared to these few seasons...

On the contrary, only the s1 finals of that year, the final BO5 match of that round, was the pinnacle battle that was truly frightening and passionate to the extreme.

Han Shihao bowed his head and remained silent, but the flickering light in his eyes revealed his mood at the moment.

It seems that he is also recalling the past.

M, who didn't get a response, didn't care, but raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the distant night sky, feeling a little bit emotional:

"It's ashamed to say that f and I competed with those... people in China for a whole generation."

"But never really took advantage of it."

"That's what we regret the most."

"However, I didn't expect that the competition of the previous generation would continue into this generation, and you helped us regain our face."

"Our juniors defeated their juniors—"

As he spoke, he paused, and looked at Han Shihao again with an appreciative smile in his eyes: "I really want to thank you for this."

Han Shihao bowed slightly, respectfully expressing that he did not dare to accept the gift.

Immediately, m changed the topic: "That little guy, you showed up at MSI before, you were selected to play in the All-Star Interactive Exhibition Game, and you played against the bottom lane. I also watched that game."

"It is indeed worthy of those few apprentices who have been taught. Even after retiring for many years and returning, they still have such a level, which is amazing."

"but--"

Pausing again, m looked at Han Shihao:

"There is still a big gap with you."

"Now you have reached the heights that us older generations have achieved, and more importantly, compared to us old guys who are destined to be unable to make further progress, you are still moving forward."

"Ahead... is already a road that almost no one has traveled before."

"Left to right, no companions and no opponents."

"So even the little guy who was able to compete with you back then has been left behind by you, and since this is the case, then there is no need to look back, just concentrate on moving forward."

"In this new generation, your opponent... should only be yourself."

The gentle voice of persuasion lingered in the cool night wind.

The terrace was silent.

Han Shihao was silent, finally raised his head and looked at m actively for the first time after such a long time of listening and teaching, and said slowly:

"That's what the seniors taught."

"However, what I thought of just now...wasn't that guy in the first place."

"Or--"

"It's not just that guy."
