Their own team's defeat left Qin Zikang unable to resist cursing under his breath,

As a member of the Anti-Lin team, he had failed to carry the banner, which was somewhat embarrassing.

At that moment, his good friend Zhao Hong came over to comfort him, "Zikang! Don't be sad, we will help you take your revenge."

"You guys have to beat the hell out of that bastard for me!" Qin Zikang brooded silently, heartache upon heartache.

"Don't worry, we definitely will," Zhao Hong responded.

On the other hand, ever since they had been playing professionally, Lin Yifan and his team hadn't lost a single match, astonishing all Honor of Kings players.

Because normally, newly advanced teams would lose one or two matches to the clan teams; but the Lin Family's Invincible Five had never suffered defeat, which proved one thing—that the Lin Family's Invincible Five squad was too strong and had already reached the ranks of a world-class team that few could ever dream of reaching.

"The city tournament was a dark horse, do you think in the professional league, they could also be a dark horse?"

"It's hard to say, but it's also possible, depending on the upcoming matches."

In the following days, the Lin Family's Invincible Five squad successively faced the Tian Family's team, the Zhao Family's team, and the Song Family's team in PK, and won an unbeaten streak against them all.

By now, the clan teams from the league that were openly targeting the Lin Family's Invincible Five had all been overthrown, falling off their horses to a very ugly defeat.

However, the future still seemed bleak for Lin Yifan and his team because behind the scenes, the league's strongest clan teams were planning to put an end to their winning streak.

After losing match after match, Qin Zikang, Zhao Hong, Song Baoshi, and the others lost all face. They had vowed to beat Lin Yifan, but instead, they got beaten by him in return. The feeling of trying to show off only to be humiliated was extremely frustrating.

"Damn it! How can they be so strong?" Zhao Hong and Song Baoshi could hardly understand it.

But Qin Zikang, who had crossed paths with Lin Yifan, understood a bit more.

Lin Yifan's learning ability was too strong. Even if he lost a few matches, he could quickly win them back, which was quite terrifying.

As for Lin Yifan's woman, although he hadn't faced her directly, he could tell from their demeanor that they were not the naive and sweet type; they must have their own intelligence and the capability to stand on their own in society.

With a team built out of these five individuals, their strength should certainly not be underestimated; in fact, his guess had been proven correct. The Lin Family's Invincible Five squad was really strong, far from the third-rate team that they had been considered in their eyes.

A few more days passed, and Lin Yifan and his group successively defeated the Luqiu Family's teams and the Long Family's teams, advancing as the top seed in their group to the playoffs.

Many Honor of Kings players found it unbelievable. Lin Family's Invincible Five had fought a harrowing journey, overcoming five challenges and slaying six generals, defeating numerous experts to win first place in the group stage—they were simply godlike.

"Unbelievable! Just unbelievable! I always thought that Lin Family's Invincible Five would lose to the Long Family's team, but they actually won, and their winning streak continued. The dark horse is very likely."

"This is the Lin Family's Invincible Five, they have never been afraid of anyone on their path."

"I have a premonition that there will be a place for the Lin Family's Invincible Five in the future world championship."

Having lost to Lin Yifan, both Luqiu Shaoge and Long Tengyu were somewhat bitter, a result they had never expected.

They had underestimated the overall strength of the Lin Family's Invincible Five, so getting their faces slapped was only expected.

It's often said that underestimating the enemy leads to easy destruction, and that's exactly the point.

A week later, the playoffs began, and it was then that Lin Yifan and his team would face the team that advanced from the same group to compete for a spot in the season's grand finals.

This was an elimination match; a loss meant defeat.

Since the Lin Family's Invincible Five was ranked first, they had to wait for the other teams to finish their matches before they could play; thus, they had a brief holiday to relax, and also to adjust their tactics to face the advancing teams.

Who exactly they would meet in the quarter-finals, an "old friend," they were really looking forward to it.

Two weeks later, the quarter-final spots were decided, and Lin Yifan and his team would face their old friends, the Long Family Team.

This time, it was a question of whether the Lin Family's Invincible Five would defend their title or if the Long Family Team would stage a comeback and avenge their previous loss. Everyone waited with bated breath.

The match was a best-of-three series. In the first game, Lin Yifan and his team were still stuck in their preseason mindset. Their tactics and lineup against the Long Family Team hadn't changed, leading to a swift defeat.

Indeed, the enemy was also improving, and if you stand still, you're bound to suffer.

Learning from the first game's lessons, in the second game, Lin Yifan and his team changed their tactics and lineup to face the Long Family Team once more.

With the new strategy and lineup, they won the match with ease.

In the deciding game, Lin Yifan and his team chose their best lineup, aiming to defeat the Long Family Team in one fell swoop, and the Long Family Team did the same.

Thus, both sides fought a spectacular and intense third game that was utterly memorable.

In the last team fight, almost all players on both sides were wiped out; however, the Lin Family's Invincible Five's ADC, Sun Shangxiang, relying on her own strength, defeated the opposing ADC, achieving a team kill against the Long Family Team; thus, with the help of her lifesteal equipment, she regained full health and secured the victory in the match.

All players felt a sense of pity for the Long Family Team. In fact, if in the last wave of the team fight, the Long Family Team's ADC had chosen to retreat instead of clashing head-on with Lin Yifei's Sun Shangxiang, they might have been able to defend the base crystal.

But at that moment, the Long Family Team's ADC had more health than Lin Yifei's Sun Shangxiang and thought he could take her down. Instead, Lin Yifei's Sun Shangxiang rolled, dodged a critical skill, and killed him, which was a shame.

In fact, had the Long Family Team's ADC killed Lin Yifei, he also had the power to take down the Lin Family's Invincible Five's base crystal in one push; because at that time, both sides' mid-lane High Ground Towers were gone, and with good minion waves and the ability to push fast with high attack damage, he really could have taken down the base crystal of the Lin Family's Invincible Five.

Unfortunately, it was a miscalculation.

Long Tengyu did not blame his team, because they played very well and made the right choices; the loss indicated they still had room to grow.

Before the professional competition began, Long Tengyu had always believed it would be easy for his pro team to defeat the Lin Family's Invincible Five on the professional stage, but it turned out quite the opposite.

Now, it was time for him to reflect and correct his own arrogance.

Two days later, the finalists were announced, and the Lin Family's Invincible Five from Group B would face the Mu Family Team from Group A in the ultimate showdown.

Upon hearing the name of the final opposing team, Lin Yifei felt somewhat mixed; she didn't know if the Mu Family Team belonged to Mu Yu, nor did she know if she would see Mu Yu on the field the following week.

Time flew by, and the final battle of the season was about to begin.
