It was initially thought that this would be RNG's final killing blow against Xu Junyan, especially since all LPL clubs had issued statements of boycott, and even the LPL official itself had personally come out to support RNG.

It was initially thought that the Weibo post Xu Junyan made was an act of desperation and rage, directly mocking the entire LPL, completely burning his bridges. He must have gone completely mad!

It was initially thought that with the LPL officially announcing a ten-year ban for Xu Junyan, he was finished, and the Royal Hooligans had descended into bottomless jubilation, clamoring quite fiercely.

Who would have thought that he would turn around and, not even bothering to stay in the LPL, directly join the LCK's three-time dynasty, the only three-time dynasty in the global LOL world, and become teammates with that man.

The first mid-laner from China in LCK history, recognized by the LCK's three-time dynasty, teammates with that man, Faker! ... Which of these titles isn't dazzling? Compared to them, RNG is nothing!

This immense drop in expectations almost completely crushed the Royal Hooligans' spirits, making them feel like they were more than just clowns this time! It was like a massive slap across their faces!

Just then.

SKT's official Instagram account posted a new profile picture, which was Xu Junyan's.

On Weibo in China, Xu Junyan also updated his status at this moment, posting his own profile picture.

At the same time, he specifically tagged Uzi's Weibo post that had just mocked him, commenting: "Yeah, I'm not worthy of wearing a jersey with one star, so I'll reluctantly wear one with three stars. What can I say, I've tried it out, and the jersey with three stars actually feels more comfortable to wear than one with a voided star, huh? What do you think, Little Rumble?"

Void?

Little Rumble?

And he's asking Little Rumble what he thinks?

Holy crap!

The Royal Hooligans were still reeling from the immense psychological blow of being clowns, each feeling as if the sky had fallen. Nothing could make them feel worse than knowing Xu Junyan was doing well.

The largest group among the Royal Hooligans, the gsls, felt the same way, but their mental fortitude was, after all, more stubborn than that of ordinary Royal Hooligans.

Seeing their idol being directly mocked, they felt immensely humiliated. In their rage, they all went crazy again and started a desperate fight with Xu Junyan.

Uzi is God: "Hahaha! It's not your three stars, if you have the guts, go get three stars yourself! Can this thing even be inherited? What a joke!"

Boiling Mud Monster: "Just you wait, soon, it won't be long, this year Uzi will have his first championship! Then our RNG jersey will have its own star!"

May Uzi Win a Championship: "Exactly! This year is definitely our RNG's championship! No one can stop us, wake up, this is the truly meaningful star!"

Raging Little Bird: "No, what right do you have to mock our Uzi? Our Uzi is the world's number one ADC, what are you?"

Xu Junyan promptly tagged the comment from 'May Uzi Win a Championship' and replied: "Oh yes, yes, yes, you guys are the ones who win championships in the void. Every year you aim for the title, and every year it's just a void. This feeling must be amazing! Come on, let's enter the void with Kassadin! That way, maybe our championship in the void will be the real championship! And their real championship will be fake! Humph!"

Following that, Xu Junyan tagged the comment from 'Raging Little Bird' and replied: "World's number one ADC? Who says so? Do you have any championships to back that up? Don't tell me it's the All-Star Solo Competition champion... Of course, if you want to use that, then you're right, we'll cheer with you, World's Number One Solo Competition Champion, awesome! /wave flag"

"Damn it!" The gsls' eyes instantly widened in fury, their defenses completely shattered, making them tremble with anger. They were all cursing Xu Junyan madly in their hearts, but in reality, they were helpless.

What made them even more furious was that even on Weibo, they momentarily lost the confidence to continue confronting Xu Junyan, fearing being singled out by him.

The best course of action now was to temporarily retreat. While they were used to playing from behind, today's situation was truly too disadvantageous! If they continued to hold on, they would only be like fools, toyed with and humiliated by Xu Junyan at will.

"Hahaha!"

"Silence God did a great job!"

"Silence Emperor, well said! Curse these idiot Royal Hooligans to hell, I'll go insult their mothers! A bunch of LPL parasites!"

"Go, Silence God! I support you!"

In the SKT base training room, Xu Junyan, who had just finished taking profile pictures and was waiting for practice matches, was scrolling through Weibo when he was suddenly caught off guard.

He stared at the comments laughing and cheering for Silence God, unable to help but fall into thought.

What was the meaning of this?

Was Silence God referring to him? After all, his ID, Silence, meant quietness and taciturnity in English.

He was fighting against the Royal Hooligans, fighting against the entire LPL, and unexpectedly, there were a few true fans in the LPL?

Xu Junyan scrolled through carefully and was astonished to find that there seemed to be quite a few of these true fans!

Tracing back to the source, he finally understood the whole story. These true fans were the original LPL casual viewers who had regained their senses after being indiscriminately attacked by the Royal Hooligans.

"When things reach an extreme, they reverse. Interesting. Not all LPL viewers are easily fooled idiots."

Xu Junyan's lips curved slightly, his gaze gradually losing focus, looking into the void where the newly revealed titles had appeared.

The little Royal Hooligans and Uzi had both received their rewards.

Title: [Stock God!]

Annotation: "Upon equipping this title, you will be known as the 'Buffett of Esports' in others' eyes. You will be highly enthusiastic about trading stocks, feeling restless if you don't trade daily. If you stop in time, there might be a possibility of making money. If you don't stop in time, you will lose everything. Warm reminder: The stock market is risky, approach with caution. Do not become arrogant just because you've made a little money, or you will be severely embarrassed."

Xu Junyan's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered 'bad luck' before quickly looking at another.

Title: [World's Number One Solo Competition Champion]

Annotation: "Upon equipping this title, you will be invincible in 1v1 battles, gaining the passive effect of never being solo-killed, and randomly triggering one of two effects: either you will definitely solo-kill your opponent every 4 minutes without interference, or your last hits will always reach 100 faster than your opponent. Note: Once your last hits exceed 100, the effect of this title will automatically become invalid, because by the time you reach 100 last hits, the solo competition is already over. Solo competitions are, after all, just solo competitions and cannot be compared to official matches."

Xu Junyan nodded slightly. Although this title didn't have much lasting power, ending in about 10-11 minutes, its effects were truly good.

Combined with [My Hands Are Really Shaking], it would achieve a fusion buff where he absolutely wouldn't die before 11-12 minutes, unless the opponent played a perverted game and sent 4 or more people to gank him in the top lane so early. But was that even possible?

Xu Junyan then examined his status bar. The available slots for installation were now all filled.

From left to right: ['Eh~! I just don't ban Galio'], [Tiger Emperor in Spring, Trash in Summer], [My Hands Are Really Shaking], [Don't you want your nationality?], [Peeking in the Dark! Sharp Eyes]

After thinking it over, Xu Junyan temporarily removed [Peeking in the Dark! Sharp Eyes] and replaced it with [World's Number One Solo Competition Champion]. For tomorrow's match, the command would still be in the hands of Faker and Wolf, so he wouldn't have much to do. It would be better to get a more practical combat power boost.

"For this wave, I really have to thank the little Royal Hooligans for their full effort."

Getting this kind of warmth right before a match made Xu Junyan blush. He couldn't help but purse his lips.

He then imagined Uzi at the RNG base right now, his face flushed red as he raged.

Pfft~! He really couldn't hold back his laughter!

After a slight pause to organize his thoughts for the match, Chapter 49 was starting, which was indeed a bit late. However, he was jumping straight into the main match without padding with training sessions, so it should balance out, right? He would post three updates tomorrow.
