There might not appear to be much difference between the two statements to outsiders.

After all, what was the difference between giving EVE a championship and Xie He wanting to win the championship?

EVE would still be the champion either way.

But the distinction was extremely clear to EVE and to Xie He as well.

It was no longer a matter of duty or gratitude, neither a responsibility nor a burden. It meant letting go of everything and finally allowing himself to give voice to a longing buried in the deepest corner of his heart, a longing that even he had forgotten.

Echo once asked him, "With a conviction like that, can you win the championship?"

The answer that Xie He gave was this: it was because of his conviction that he could win the championship!

After a brief silence in the internal voice chat, Echo spoke and her limpid voice had never been more enchanting than it was then. "Okay!"

It was merely a single word, just two syllables, yet it managed to rouse all five members.

To be the champions!

A championship that belonged to everyone in EVE!

They had waited too long for this!

It was impossible for the audience to learn of what transpired in EVE's internal voice chat. All they could see was that EVE was currently defending the match point, and yet the team still managed to pull themselves together in a disadvantageous situation.

Their morale soared, and they were ignited with unprecedented fighting spirit. It appeared as if the team's resolve had peaked at that very moment.

The livestream chat started discussing the change. "What did Echo say?"

"It couldn't have been longer than a sentence... but that still managed to fire all of them up?"

"It's the power of a beautiful coach!"

"No, that's not right... why do I feel that Xie He also said something?"

"Yeah, I saw that too. God Xie's mouth moved, then Echo looked as if she was on the verge of tears!"

"???"

"He didn't propose to her just then, did he hahahahahahahaha."

"In your dreams. Don't forget that God Xie and our Goddess treat each other like siblings. Even if there was something going on there, the only response he could get from a confession at this time would be a slap before getting benched."

That was a fact. It was widely known that Echo was a queen who ruled with an iron fist.

While the audience remained in the dark, there were also those who each saw more clearly than the next.

Such as Teacher Yuan, the proud flower, and their former captain.

Yan Jiang knew better than anyone else. He naturally understood the members on his team. Every single one.

But he had always paid more attention to Xie He by virtue of the fact that they were competing in the same competition zone.

He knew better than anyone else how much Xie He wanted to return, and knew better than anyone else that Xie He could not.

EVE had been regularly in touch with Yan Jiang these two years.

No one knew that it was on Yan Jiang's suggestion that Echo had gone to the youth training camp that year to select Xie He.
