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

Chapter 201 The Collapse of the Super Battleship

In fact, similar rumors were already circulating online long before the technical teams of the two established clubs reached a conclusion.

The source of the information was, of course, the same person who claimed to be an "insider at the Shattered Star Club with a conscience."

For well-trained practitioners of the multi-card style, they are familiar with at least seven or eight types of sealing cards that can emit dazzling high-frequency flashes.

Many guardian spirits also possess unique skills with dazzling, high-frequency flashing effects.

Whether there are dates or not, we'll hit the bullseye three times.

If you encounter a member of the Shattered Star team, try using high-frequency flashes to attack; it's not particularly troublesome.

This test revealed a major problem.

Most of the members of the Shattered Star team are not used to high-frequency flashes to varying degrees.

Although not to the point of losing control, becoming manic, or triggering epilepsy like Chu Zhifeng.

But then I'll squint and feel uncomfortable for a while.

When masters clash, victory or defeat hinges on the slightest difference.

Those who made it into the top 32 are no ordinary people.

Such an obvious flaw quickly led to the unexpected elimination of another player from the Shattered Star team.

The other contestants, including "Golden Boy" Carlos, even though they won with difficulty, the process was very intense and even ugly, which cost them far more than expected. They had to leave the field exhausted and covered in bruises, their faces pale as if they had heard a death sentence. There was not a trace of the smile that belongs to the victors.

In fact, the dosage of performance-enhancing drugs injected by veteran athletes such as "Golden Boy" Carlos was far below the safe range.

The main issue was the overwhelming criticism, which had a huge impact on their mindset.

As members of "Shattered Stars," they are more aware than outsiders of the crisis the club is currently facing.

By lunchtime, rumors had already spread throughout the entire team, and even the cleaning staff could describe them vividly and logically.

It is said that the two clubs, "Ben Teng" and "Hui Huang," have joined forces to put pressure on the organizers of the Dawn Cup, hoping that the organizers will conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation into the fairness and impartiality of the competition under the supervision of the Lingka Association.

This includes, but is not limited to, investigating the sudden rise of the Kuangtie Squad and whether the sealing cards they use involve excessive modifications.

It's also worth investigating whether the members of the Kuangtie team took excessive amounts of banned drugs, otherwise how could they be so powerful, overcoming all obstacles and even the second player of the Shattered Star team couldn't stop their rapid advance?

Of course, this was to make the Kuangtie team truly convinced.

The players and coaching teams of "Ben Teng" and "Hui Huang" are all willing to undergo the same rigorous investigation, so that the innocent will prove themselves innocent and the guilty will prove themselves guilty.

Even a fool would know that the two established clubs were truly targeting the Shattered Star Club.

Add to that the sensationalism from major media outlets, the embellishment online, and the overwhelming public opinion at the scene.

It would be almost impossible for the event organizers to withstand such immense pressure.

An investigation is necessary.

Even if they don't get to the bottom of it, they should at least scapegoat a few unlucky people.

Another rumor was even more deadly.

It is said that the biggest sponsor of Shattered Star Club, Aurora Life, one of the four major card manufacturing companies, is very dissatisfied with Shattered Star team's poor performance in this Dawn Cup. It has decided to terminate all cooperation with Shattered Star Club and cancel the annual new product launch event, including "Silver Moon Meteor", which was to be held in Dawn City.

The annual advertising and sponsorship fees from "Aurora Life" are the largest single source of income for the Shattered Star Club.

A true sugar daddy. If Aurora Life Sciences really terminates the cooperation and withdraws all support, the price war at Shattered Star Club won't even last a day.

No, it's not as simple as just not being able to continue the price war.

It's important to understand that the Shattered Star Club is currently selling membership cards and various high-value-added services at prices far below cost, all in order to snatch up all the members of "Brilliance" and "Galloping," monopolize the high-end market in Dawn City, and then slowly recoup their losses.

They have already paid astronomical costs, betting their past and future.

Once Aurora Life withdraws its support.

What appears to be a brightly lit castle in the air can collapse in an instant.

Unlike the Kuangtie Club, which values ​​relationships and loyalty.

Shattered Star Club has signed very strict contracts with its main players, senior coaches and technical team.

Let alone betrayal, even parting ways would come at an astronomical price.

Of course, the Shattered Star Club also offered an irresistible price in the contract and painted an incredibly bright future for them.

Most of the players, coaches, and technical staff hold a large number of shares in the Shattered Star Club, binding their lives and fortunes to the "super battleship" that is Shattered Star.

No one wanted to believe that this newly reinforced and upgraded "super battleship" would be riddled with holes by a "small boat" like the Crazy Iron Squad and was about to sink into the deep sea.

However, when "Golden Boy" Carlos and several senior coaches tried to find Sheikh Krat to inquire, they discovered that the boss had abandoned the afternoon's match and disappeared.

Some say the boss went to influential figures in the Lingka Association to smooth things over.

Some say the boss went to apologize to the representatives of "Aurora Life" and begged them to change their minds.

There were even various unfounded and absurd claims, like unseen ghosts lingering in the Shattered Stars team's rest area.

In this situation, how can they achieve perfect resonance with their guardian spirit and unleash 100% of their fighting power in the arena?

Thus, in the final match of the day, they suffered another crushing defeat.

Xiong Rulong of the Kuangtie team versus the vice-captain of the Suixing team.

There is a certain gap in the hard power of the two sides.

But the former went into battle unburdened and with overwhelming momentum.

The latter, however, was full of concerns and had no desire to fight.

Having tasted success in Hou Zhijian's match, Kuangtie's team equipped Xiong Rulong with a super flash card that had been enhanced and modified by Xu Yan, called "Flame Firefly," an advanced version of "Firefly."

However, during the match, before Xiong Rulong could even activate the flash card, waves of light erupted from the audience.

Countless spectators held all sorts of strange flashlights and lighting tools, constantly throwing light spears into the ring.

This behavior certainly raises suspicions of interfering with the game.

But even the referees couldn't stop hundreds of spectators from gathering together, their anger and mockery palpable.

The vice-captain of the Shattered Star team was not severely affected by the high-frequency flashes.

However, faced with the overwhelming tide of light and the deafening boos, his mental defenses, which had invested most of his wealth in the Shattered Star Club, quietly crumbled without him even realizing it.
