Chapter 69: A man should have ambitions. Just look, I particularly want to... (2/2)
Commentator B: “Quiet killed Marshal! He used the movement skill from earlier and basic auto attacks to activate the immortal thief’s second passive, giving him an invulnerability status effect for 0.01 seconds!”
For the average player, this passive ability was basically useless, and even an average professional player wouldn’t dare to rely on it in such a situation.
It was like the shadow thief’s light arcs. Everyone knew that it was very powerful if it could be activated, but the margin of error was too slight.. If they relied on this skill for survival, the possibility of failure was too high.
But Wei Xiao did it!
It was precise and perfectly executed!
Commentator A quickly followed up, “The immortal thief was right not to retreat. If he’d been timid and left the kill to Close, he would have definitely died. He was still within the blood warrior’s range of attack!”
Commentator B: “That’s right. His movement skill and that last attack activated the second passive ability, allowing him to use invulnerability to resist Yuan Ze’s post-death attack.”
The fans were even more shocked after the experts explained the situation.
“Who just said that Quiet was stealing kills? Come out and die!”
“To hell with stealing kills. This was him calculating accurately that he could only survive if he charged in!”
“Isn’t Quiet strongest with the shadow thief? Why is his immortal thief also so amazing.”
“It’s only three minutes since the game started. God Yuan’s sending of the First Blood has probably broken a record.”
“In last year’s global competition, God Yuan was killed in a one against one at the start of the game. But it was only once.”
“I know! It was Eve’s God Xie and his captain who went into the opposing jungle and killed God Yuan!”
……
“How exciting. It’s so heated even at the start of the game. FTW’s really different this year!”
The fans were discussing heatedly amongst themselves when another system announcement came up in the game––
L&P.VIVI killed FTW.Silvery.
VIVI was L&P’s mid-lane, and Silvery was Ning Zhehan.
L&P’s mid-lane had killed FTW’s mid-lane in a one against one fight!
Both teams had chosen agile and flexible talents for their mid-lane positions.
The immortal warlock was relatively weak before it reached level six because it couldn’t stack up continuous moves and fly up into the clouds.
The spirit mage had no such scruples. It could fly into the shadows as soon as it went out, and it could cover a very long distance with its movement skill, basically spanning the distance between both towers. After it reached level two, it would also have its core DPS ability that dealt considerable damage and also applied a deceleration effect.
In general, before it reached level six, the spirit mage should be able to suppress the immortal warlock and beat them up.
But Ning Zhehan had been killed by the immortal warlock while hiding beneath the tower!
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had taken First Blood on the top lane, but half a second later, L&P’s mid-lane had already gotten even.
This was the strength of a team who could contend for the world cup. None of its players could be underestimated!
The screen went dark. Ning Zhehan’s voice trembled, “I’m sorry.”
It hadn’t been easy for the captain and Brother Xiao to gain the advantage at the start of the game, but he’d ended up sending over a kill.
Wei Xiao: “What are you sorry for? If you hadn’t held down VIVI, then the captain and I would’ve died.”
Ning Zhehan was stunned.
Wei Xiao continued, “I dared to go and attack Old Dog Yuan because I saw that you were keeping VIVI occupied.”
5v5 really was really reliant on cooperation. Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were fighting against L&P in the bottom lane, and the four of them nibbled at each other, with nobody gaining the upper hand.
In the mid-lane, VIVI had cleared his soldiers faster than Ning Zhehan. If Ning Zhehan had shrunk back, then VIVI would immediately be able to go up to the top lane to provide support, cooperating with Yuan Ze to send both Lu Feng and Wei Xiao home dead.
Now, although Ning Zhehan had been killed, he’d already cleared his soldiers and wouldn’t suffer any losses in farming. Additionally, he’d kept VIVI occupied and given Lu Feng and Wei Xiao enough time to kill Yuan Ze.
He’d used his life to save two people, and had also helped his teammates take First Blood. FTW had come out on top in this exchange!
Ning Zhehan couldn’t help but say, “I-I should’ve been able to kill him.”
If both sides were evenly matched, then Ning Zhehan’s spirit mage should’ve been able to kill the immortal warlock before they reached level six.
Wei Xiao was amused, “Little Ning, you’re quite ambitious. Who is VIVI? He’s someone in the global top three mid-laners. You’ve just started, and you already want to screw him over?”
Ning Zhehan: “…………”
Wei Xiao continued to make pithy remarks as he went to clear his jungle, “Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. A man should have ambitions. Just look, I particularly want to…”
Brother Cai, who was busy providing vision, didn’t dare to listen any further, “Hurry the hell up. If you don’t want the red daddy, then give it to Old G as a gift.”
Wei Xiao was anxious, “I’m coming, I’m coming!”
Although his words just now had been a little bizarre, it still held some truth.
The immortal warlock in front of him was a player who’d once won the world championship and was up there in the Glory rankings.
It had previously been unimaginable that Ning Zhehan would be able to survive while standing across from him in the lane. So what if he’d been killed once?
Brother Xiao had been killed thousands of times by their captain and treated it like it was nothing!
When he thought about it that way, Ning Zhehan was suddenly full of energy!
On L&P’s side, the team chat turned quiet for a while after Yuan Ze died.
VIVI: “FTW’s mid-lane isn’t very good. Gary, come get him.”
Yuan Ze: “No need.”
VIVI: “As long as we destroy the mid-lane, FTW will lose without being able to put up a fight.”
Yuan Ze stared at the screen and spoke in a deep voice, “Old G, come to the top lane.”
Was it meaningful to attack FTW’s weakness?
He’d been looking forward to this game because of Lu Feng and Wei Xiao.
He wanted to beat them.
He wanted to beat FTW thoroughly, from their very roots!
The commentators immediately spoke up, “Gary is going to the top lane. Judging from this angle and this position, it seems that L&P wants to clear out their previous shame!”
“It’s happening, it’s happening, Marshal and Gary are going to gank Close!”
“Most of FTW’s team is in the lower jungle area. They definitely won’t have time to go support, and the payback for the 2v1 at the start of the game is coming!”
“So, will Close be killed like Marshal was?”
These sentences heated up the atmosphere and the audience followed suit, growing nervous as they watched.
Wei Xiao’s intuition was very keen. He seemed to have caught on to something, “Old Bai, toss some vision over the dragon cave!”
Bai Cai cursed, “F*ck, Old G must have gone up. Captain, be careful!”
Lu Feng’s voice was calm, “Wei Xiao, go to the mid-lane and cooperate with Ning to kill the immortal warlock.”
Wei Xiao: “Captain…” He wanted to go up and support the top lane.
Lu Feng suddenly asked him, “Just now, what did you say you particularly wanted to do?”
Wei Xiao paused for a moment before remembering the trash talk he’d been saying to Little Ning just now.
––A man should have ambitions. Just look, I particularly want to… screw the captain.
Bai Cai had interrupted him before he could finish, and he wouldn’t dare to say it now even if he was beaten to death. Wei Xiao quickly changed his words, “… Get screwed over by the captain!”
FTW’s mid-laner, bottom laner, and support almost simultaneously smashed their faces into their keyboards.
Lu Feng’s expression didn’t change at all, “So, what are you worried about.”
His voice dropped, and the berserker warrior switched states. He was covered in heavy armor, and his long sword flashed with cold light. His second skill swept across, his icy blue blade sending Gary, who was crouched in the bushes, flying into the air.
xiin: “… Get screwed over by the captain!” heeheeeheee, don’t worry it’ll happen~
