Su Mucheng's Mishap

Su Mucheng's heavy artillery shot toward the sky due to the tremendous recoil, causing Dancing Rain's figure to be unstable, unable to timely retract the heavy artillery for defence.

Liu Hao seized the opportunity, swiftly waved his sword, accurately hitting Dancing Rain's slim waist. Golden light penetrated Dancing Rain's body, causing the short sword to be stained with bright red blood.

At this moment, Dancing Rain's defence was completely broken, and her rhythm was completely lost.

Su Mucheng's mind was completely in disarray.

She felt like a fool, ridiculed by Liu Hao for missing three empty shots, then predicted by Flame Wave Sword, pressured by Frost Wave Sword, and finally, unable to even retreat in defence. She felt like a transparent doll, completely seen through.

Su Mucheng's actions became frantic, unable to even parry the most basic normal attacks. In the end, Dancing Rain fell under the Total Darkness's short sword, without any waves, meeting a quiet end.

Everyone stared at the remaining blood volume of Total darkness, 52%, undoubtedly declaring Su Mucheng's tragic defeat.

"Nice!"

"Brother Hao is amazing!"

"Brother Hao is awesome!"

Wang Ze, Shen Jian, and He Ming, the three loyal followers, enthusiastically cheered for their boss.

Ye Qiu also wanted to applaud for this exciting match, but seeing Su Mucheng sitting on her seat looking miserable and alone, he ultimately refrained from clapping, simply saying, "Well played."

Having defeated Su Mucheng, Liu Hao vented out the frustration for his original self, but he didn't cheer for this hard-earned victory.

Liu Hao took off his headphones and stood up from his seat, walking slowly towards Su Mucheng.

Su Mucheng was staring blankly at the screen, as if her soul had left her body. She wasn't fragile,she just struggled to accept reality. The people she used to easily defeat now managed to crush her so miserably?

What made it even sadder was that the one who crushed her was Liu Hao, whom she had always disliked. Su Mucheng felt embarrassed in front of Ye Xiu.

Noticing Liu Hao approaching, Su Mucheng's already gloomy heart sank further. She felt that Liu Hao was like a big villain, not only bullying Ye Xiu but now also bullying her. Did he want to show off his power?

Liu Hao: "I'm innocent, it's always been Ye Xiu bullying me…"

Ye Xiu, seeing Liu Hao getting closer to Su Mucheng, felt worried that he would continue to mock her and immediately stepped forward to intervene. However, what Liu Hao blurted out was, "Well played."

Then, without waiting for Su Mucheng's reaction, Liu Hao spoke again, "I'm sorry."

This sentence caught everyone present off guard. Liu Hao apologised to Su Mucheng? What did it mean?

Shen Jian, He Ming, and Wang Ze, the three companions of Liu Hao, felt like their worldviews had collapsed. Was this still their familiar Brother Hao? Could it be that Brother Hao would invite them for drinks later and then complain after drinking that neither Ye Xiu nor Su Mucheng were sincere? Isn't it said that drunk words are sober thoughts?

Su Mucheng also looked puzzled, "Liu Hao, you won against me, so why apologise to me? Do you think I can't accept losing? Actually, you don't need to apologise to me. I can accept losing. You played really well, very impressive..."

Su Mucheng's pitiful appearance, as if being bullied by a villain, made everyone present unable to bear it. Even Liu Hao's three followers, Wang Ze, He Ming, and Shen Jian, turned against him at the same time, starting to criticise Liu Hao's inappropriate behaviour during the solo process.

"I'm not apologising to you because I won. I know you're strong and can accept defeat. I apologise because I said a lot of rubbish to you during the solo just now." Liu Hao explained sincerely. "That was just a despicable tactic to mess with your mentality, not intended to mock you."

But as he spoke, even Liu Hao himself didn't believe what he was saying.

What was the relationship between him and Su Mucheng? On the surface, they were teammates, but in reality, they were enemies, constantly at odds with each other, both openly and secretly.

His explanation just now, made his situation just worse. They would only think it was further mockery.

Sure enough, after hearing what Liu Hao said, Ye Xiu's face instantly turned cold. In his eyes, Liu Hao wanted to continue mocking Su Mucheng by using a tactic to retreat in order to advance.

Liu Hao felt a wave of killing intent behind him. Turning around, he met Ye Xiu's eyes full of killing intent, and his heart skipped a beat.

Liu Hao: Uh-oh, I am heavily misunderstood. I'm going to be in trouble with Ye Xiu from now on…(inner monologue)

His original intention was not to let a solo match affect the team's relationship, so he apologised and explained. But now it seems to be going against his intentions...

Watching Liu Hao's constantly changing expression, Su Mucheng found it interesting. She was a thoughtful and emotional girl who could discern Liu Hao's sincerity.

Having just felt it, she realised that it seemed like Liu Hao was the one who was isolated, being cautious in the meeting room.

"It's... it's okay." Su Mucheng smiled brightly again. "Trash talk is a tactic, right? Ye Xiu often trash-talks during solo matches too. I didn't mind."

Liu Hao was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you for understanding, thank you for understanding."

Seeing Su Mucheng forgive Liu Hao, Ye Xiu stopped meddling. He clapped his hands, announcing the end of today's training session. The Excellent Era Club would officially go on vacation starting today. The players could go home and rest, returning to the club for training in a month, preparing for the upcoming eighth season.

The seventh season of Glory Professional League had entered the playoffs stage, and the Excellent Era failed to qualify, so they had to take a vacation a month earlier.

When the players heard about the early vacation, they didn't dare to cheer too loudly. They felt happy inside and then returned to their seats to pack up their things.

Liu Hao also returned to his seat, about to take out his account card, when suddenly an electronic sound rang in his mind.
