At this moment, in the distant East, countless fans ignored the stillness of the early morning and shouted in excitement. This might not have been Liu Han and Yao Min's most brilliant performance, but it was undoubtedly their most tenacious and unexpected one. Facing the formidable American team, the Chinese team had displayed their spirit and attitude.
Currently, the Thunder King, with a lightning spear in his right hand and the Shield of Zeus in his left, was struggling to resist hundreds of transformed spiritual entities.
