As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 200 The situation escalates

For various reasons, the three commentators spoke very subtly.

The audience's attention quickly shifted to the upcoming intense match.

But the aftermath of this incident has not subsided at all; in fact, it has continued to ferment online, causing a huge uproar.

First, on the highly influential professional spirit card forum in Dawn City.

Almost at the same time that Chu Zhifeng was slammed down by Hou Zhijian, a very professional technical analysis post appeared.

Not only are there detailed data, but also clear photos that magnify Chu Zhifeng's bloodshot eyes, twitching muscles, white foam at the corners of his mouth, and bubbles gushing from his nostrils, presenting them to netizens.

With irrefutable evidence, tell everyone that this match was suspicious.

In the comments below, a person claiming to be an "insider of the Shattered Star Club with a conscience" came forward to testify that in order to help the newly joined no-card style practitioners quickly grasp the essence of the multi-card style, the management did indeed instruct the coaching team to give them excessive amounts of banned drugs, which led to today's crushing defeat.

There aren't many internet users these days.

They are all elites from various industries.

As the Dawn Cup continued, the Lingka Forum became increasingly popular, reaching its peak for the year.

This post, with its compelling evidence and fiery tone, quickly garnered significant attention, receiving hundreds of replies within just a few hours.

Some of the comments were from spectators at the scene, who took photos of the match from different angles—they captured even more evidence of Chu Zhifeng's unusual behavior.

Some comments also recorded the argument that broke out between the coach and doctors in the temporary medical area when Chu Zhifeng was sent for treatment.

Even the incident two days ago, when Chu Zhifeng almost lost control in front of reporters' cameras, was brought up again to prove that his mental state was not quite right at that time.

Even the "Silver Moon Meteor," a fully automatic combat card that looks incredibly gorgeous at first glance and is theoretically very advanced, has been criticized for being a product of overreaching ambitions and overkill.

If the discussion has progressed to this point, it still falls under the category of discussing the matter at hand.

Then, a post from an unknown source completely ignited the emotions of many people.

The person who replied claimed to be a loyal member of the Glorious Club for ten years.

However, I couldn't stand that Brilliant Club was only interested in profit and only knew how to use all sorts of fancy services to exploit consumers. It was no match for the Shattered Star Club, which was offering great discounts. So, half a month ago, I canceled my VIP card at Brilliant Club and became a member of Shattered Star Club instead.

As far as he knows, many high-net-worth business people have recently made the same choice as him, which has made the two long-established clubs, "Brilliant" and "Ben Teng," feel threatened.

Therefore, "Brilliant" and "Ben Teng" would use such despicable means to smear the players under "Shattered Star".

In his opinion, Chu Zhifeng possesses an incomparably strong physique and is also supported by the most advanced automatic combat card from "Zhendan Life". How could he possibly need to take banned drugs?
It's possible that the two established clubs, "Brilliant" and "Ben Teng," colluded with the Kuang Tie club to provide banned substances to Kuang Tie's player, Hou Zhijian, thus helping the latter defeat Chu Zhifeng without any justification.

However, such despicable and shameless tricks can only bring temporary success.

Chu Zhifeng's unexpected defeat cannot stop more and more high-end users from discovering the cost-effectiveness of the Shattered Star Club. The two old clubs, "Brilliant" and "Ben Teng," which have been complacent and stuck in their ways, will eventually be defeated and forced to close down in the fierce market competition!

To prove his point of view.

This netizen, who claims to be a "loyal supporter of the Shattered Star Club," also posted numerous photos of daily training sessions, proving that the Shattered Star Club has indeed been bustling with activity lately. In contrast, he also posted recent photos of the "Brilliant" and "Galloping" clubs, which were indeed deserted and almost empty.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

This post, which delivered a scathing rebuke, dragged the operators and supporters of the two clubs, "Brilliant" and "Benteng," who were originally unrelated to the matter, into the fray.

The management teams of the two long-established clubs, "Brilliant" and "Ben Teng," are not fools.

They sensed danger early on from the price war waged by "Shattered Star" at any cost.

There was absolutely no need to wage such a brutal price war in order to deal with the Kuangtie Club.

The true goal of the Shattered Star Club is quite obvious.

However, the overall environment in Dawn City has been poor in the past two years, making their business operations quite difficult and their cash flow very tight.

With no ammunition reserves, we cannot keep up with the price war from the Shattered Star Club in the short term.

They could only watch helplessly as their loyal customers, accumulated over the past ten or twenty years, fell into the price traps set by their competitors.

But now that the Shattered Star Club has revealed such a huge flaw, they still dare to turn the tables and implicate them.

Then don't blame them for being impolite.

The intervention of two established clubs ensured that the post remained at the top of the forum, preventing it from being deleted by external factors.

The key content of the post, including detailed technical analysis, quickly appeared in the most prominent sections of freshly published, still-hot newspapers of major traditional media outlets.

While these newspapers certainly received a significant amount of advertising fees from the Shattered Stars Club, they also had a long-standing and close partnership with the "Brilliant" and "Galloping" clubs.

In a two-on-one situation, they could only emphasize "objectivity, fairness, and speaking out for justice."

Meanwhile, the technical teams of the two established clubs, with their deep expertise, are also racing against time to thoroughly study every detail of Chu Zhifeng's match.

This includes his most subtle muscle twitches and pupil constriction.

The two established clubs are themselves experts in using various enhancement drugs.

In this competition, it's possible that the team members were given various state-of-the-art enhancement drugs, and they were generally aware of the related side effects and aftereffects, as well as the factors that could trigger acute side effects.

Like Xu Yan, they quickly identified the moment when Chu Zhifeng lost control in front of reporters' cameras and flashing lights the day before yesterday.

The conclusion drawn is that Chu Zhifeng's loss of control was likely related to the sudden change in lighting.

This is easy to handle.

Entering the round of 32, the pace of the Dawn Cup slowed down slightly, with each round lasting two days, allowing the winning players at least 24 hours of rest.

In other words, there are still several matches to come where players from the "Brilliant" and "Soaring" factions will face off against players from the "Shattered Star" faction!
