"Tch, what's so great about that? That Runes Mage was already low on health. If I played, I could do it too." "Exactly, this streamer is terrible! Even got chased around by that Black Widow. Can't he just turn around and fight? Totally not manly!" "But he's really good..." Hao Jian pulled off that move, sparking discussions among many people. Some started to change their opinions, giving Hao Jian a preliminary nod of approval. But the keyboard warriors remained indifferent. To them, it didn't matter if the skill level was high or not, as long as they could vent and feel satisfied. Hao Jian chuckled, ignoring these comments. He continued to control his hero, wandering in the jungle. Meanwhile, taking advantage of his teammates keeping the opponents occupied, he casually cleared a wave of minions, then led them straight up. Try as they might, the opponents held back by his teammates wanted to break free and stop Hao Jian. But how could his teammates let them leave easily? The goal was to give Hao Jian enough time to take down the tower. If those guys got past to cause trouble, what would they do? The tower would remain standing, and with the two heroes Hao Jian had killed still having over ten seconds until respawn, all they needed was to keep these three occupied, and they could destroy a tower. Hao Jian smirked, quickly demolishing the tower. Seeing the opponents still not approaching, he cleared the incoming minion wave and patted himself on the back as he left. For the rest of the time, Hao Jian roamed between lanes, farming. Regardless of his teammates' actions, he focused on his own growth, slowly catching up economically to all the opponents' heroes. Meanwhile, his teammates' economy was still lagging behind slightly, and in several assaults, it was only thanks to Hao Jian that they managed to hold on. Hao Jian felt particularly speechless about these teammates. How could anyone with such poor skills dare to play in the Challenger ranks? What especially exasperated Hao Jian was having to run back and forth multiple times to defend the dragon, killing several people on the way, while his teammates still lazily increased their economy. As Hao Jian was passing by the river, he stepped into a bush and suddenly saw Black Widow hiding there, along with a Runes Mage, catching him off guard. "You killed me just now, now you'll see our power!" Black Widow roared, launching her skills. Those bone spikes surged from the ground as if for free, stabbing towards Hao Jian's controlled Garen. The Runes Mage's magic orb also flew from his hand, targeting Hao Jian! "Haha, this guy's done for! The pincer attack from Black Widow and Runes Mage is something he can't withstand! It's a loss!" As the battle commenced, Hao Jian's remaining four teammates were forcefully engaged by the opposition's three players, trying to prevent them from assisting Hao Jian. It seemed Black Widow had told her teammates, planning to take revenge... Hao Jian smirked slightly, then maneuvered Garen back, a silence landing on Runes Mage, taking the chance to close in, and stood firm against the two's combined attack. Amidst Garen's spin, Runes Mage's health dropped bar by bar, scaring the player into a panic. Just as he was about to retreat, a sword light suddenly descended from the sky, and then the screen went black. "Tch, piece of cake." Watching the fallen Runes Mage, Hao Jian curled his lips in disdain, nonchalantly flicking his ear, blowing a puff, then quickly directing Garen to charge at Black Widow. The big sword fell, silencing Black Widow entirely, unable to activate any skills. In that instant, Hao Jian activated his skills, swiftly draining Black Widow's health bar. Then, with some maneuvering, dodging Black Widow's skills, he lowered her health to a critical level. His eyes flashed, Hao Jian's fingers flew fast, pressing the Ultimate Skill. In Black Widow's gaze of despair, a massive sword descended from the sky, finishing her off. "What the hell! How did they get counter-killed?!" Black Widow's teammates were utterly dumbfounded to see both Runes Mage and Black Widow, who went after Garen, get turned on and eliminated: "You guys are something else! Did you buy your way into the Challenger ranks?!" "Their items and levels are way below ours, how did you two get counter-killed?! Tell us, what on earth happened?!" Runes Mage and Black Widow were speechless, not knowing how to respond. Any attempt to explain felt embarrassing. After all, they were Challenger-levels being counter-killed by someone of the same tier. If word got out, they'd be laughed at! Hao Jian chuckled lightly and glanced at his teammates; not bad, at least no one was counter-killed. After all, they've reached the King rank, so they must have some strategic thinking. Especially now that they're at a disadvantage, if they aren't cautious, they might really end up losing. They only have one Crystal left, and all the towers have been dismantled by the opposing team. If they plan to win, it's not going to be easy. Now with Garen's sudden rise, it gave them a glimmer of hope. As long as Garen can disrupt their pace, they can slowly build up their economy. They just don't believe it; under the same conditions, would they really lose to these guys?! The next step for Hao Jian was straightforward: kill players and take down towers, directly dismantling those towers to turn the tide. With the support of his teammates, as long as fewer than three opponents come, Hao Jian will absolutely annihilate them. After initially getting familiar with the game, Hao Jian started to master it, with maneuvers and control feeling as easy as playing. Those who came to chase him either ended up fleeing with slivers of health or got killed instantly. And those who fled were all tanks; as for the fragile ones, they were easily one-shotted in seconds. In pursuit of the ultimate, Hao Jian swapped what should've been Garen's tank items for pure offense, stacking up in various ways, making his Physical Attack Power incredibly strong. Roaming, encountering enemies, lane pushing, tower taking, all kinds of tactics in his control were like a professional player, utterly dominating these Kings. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 "Damn! Could this Garen be a professional player?! Look at that maneuvering, that anticipation — damn! Is this even human?!" "This Garen was weak before! How is he so strong now?!" "Definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing! Absolutely!" "Crap, this guy isn't the Garen from before! This guy probably has a booster playing for him!" In the game, Hao Jian's opponents were panic-stricken by the hero he controlled, this was entirely a kill machine, no matter who approached, their fate was undoubtedly dire. How could they cope? The opposing team has four people who could hold off their three, so would the remaining two dare to go after Garen? Even if they don't want to find Garen, Garen would directly run to them; the fragile ones were instantly one-shotted with maneuvering that couldn't be dodged. "Does Garen have moves ?!" Watching Hao Jian's livestream, the viewers witnessed how Hao Jian flamboyantly counter-killed the opponents' heroes and then charged into the crowd with an assault, killing a fragile hero while losing only half his health! The maneuvers within the crowd were beyond their belief. They clearly saw Skills coming at him, but this Garen dodged them by a hair's breadth like a prophet, using dexterous techniques requiring top speed and high skill to evade all Skills. And for the Skills that needed to be taken head-on, he resisted them, then with Skills, finished off the fragile hero he had already bled. Afterward, he flashed, leaving the crowd with half health. As Hao Jian charged in, his teammates also followed suit with the long-range attacking while maintaining distance and melee focusing on fragile ones, preventing them from outputting damage. Seeing this, Hao Jian charged again, and with Skills cooled down, he joined his teammates for a brilliant wave of attacks, causing havoc to the opponents. "Carrying the game! That's true carrying! This streamer is awesome! I must follow him!" "Yeah, I gotta follow him too!" "Tsk, while you're following, I'm sending gifts! This streamer is both handsome and skillful — totally my type!" "What do you know? You call this carrying? With his skill, we could easily do this too!" Some praised, some criticized, but for Hao Jian, none of it mattered. What mattered was seeing the number of followers in the livestream room jump from just 10,000 to over 80,000, and the growth rate was still accelerating. Soon enough, it could break 100,000! "Let me show you what precise anticipation means." Hao Jian raised an eyebrow due to a teammate's oversight letting an enemy escape with low health, and Hao Jian's lips formed a slight smile. After disengaging, Hao Jian's Speed Boots took effect, swiftly routing into the jungle... The low-health fleeing hero, who was returning at the High Ground Tower, suddenly saw a sword light descend from the sky. His screen blacked out, and his face turned grim...
