Chapter 92

The three FNC mid and bot players who had intended to surround and suppress Rek'Sai lost their appetite immediately after witnessing Rek'Sai reach level six.

Not to mention Rek'Sai already had his ultimate ready to fly away at any moment; even if caught, whether they could win was questionable—at this point, even the mid lane vampire hadn't reached level six yet.

This shows how terrifying Liang Yan's development speed is.

Of course, this is thanks to the two waves of minions that AP "let" out.

After clearing both sets of the enemy Graves' jungle camps, Liang Yan pressed recall in place, went home and directly crafted his short sword into attack speed boots, then added two longswords and a Control Ward, flew out straight to his own jungle, first helped AP take the blue buff, then headed straight for the enemy F4.

While passing the river, he took the river crab along the way, then went uphill; using Earth Ear Technique he detected the target, after slipping out from the wall corner he used 【Burrow Tunnel】 to get close to the target.

Then it's just a frantic bite-fest.

QWAQE.

With the damage from Thunderlord, it's an instant kill.

Less than a minute since his last death, Spirit was sent back to the fountain to soak again.

Moreover, when taking down the Graves kill, Rek'Sai again burst forth with a dazzling white light.

Now it's a level 7 versus level 5.

The camera cut to the FNC bench; Spirit could no longer smile, his expression looked constipated, with his brows, eyes, nose, and mouth all scrunched together.

Then the view switched to the G2 bench; Firrrrrre remained as calm as ever.

Next, Liang Yan easily took down F4 and handed over Smite to it, then, facing the vampire, he cut across mid lane, cleared the vampire's ward placed in the lower river brush, re-entered FNC's lower jungle, quickly ate the Graves' second blue buff, and slipped away before the FNC duo could arrive.

In the bottom lane, although Zven and Mithy each got a kill, Ezreal had to build 【Tear of the Goddess】; this item gives no combat stats early on, so the fight could only be considered even.

Moreover, in terms of lane control, the enemy duo still held the advantage.

Zven kept complaining in his headset, saying that Yuumi + Bard were too cheesy whether pushing lane or draining health, then he started flaming Janna's abilities combined with the Thunderlord rune brainless synergy, utterly shameless, to the point that if Riot doesn't nerf it in the next patch, even mothers wouldn't want it.

Tracing back, this should be a referee who is a Riot employee; hearing these curses at Riot constantly spouting from Zven's mouth made him feel quite awkward. Players swearing when excited is a common occurrence, and the Player Rules do not explicitly forbid profanity, but cursing at Riot in front of its staff is a bit awkward, so the referee reluctantly told Zven a sentence—not a warning, just a reminder.

But Zven kept muttering, though his voice was much softer, sounding like a chant; combined with the constant white noise in his headset, the hypnotic effect was excellent.

Liang Yan, hearing it, couldn't stand it anymore; he went to bottom lane and made a strong grab, killing Bard, allowing his own duo to push the lane, recall, and buy items; Zven went home and combined 【Tear of the Goddess】 into 【Maw】, which converts a portion of mana into attack damage, greatly boosting his combat power—his strength was now incomparable—so the enemy no longer dared to recklessly spam abilities to push lane, lest they be caught in an ability cooldown and be punished.

At last, Zven's mouth was shut.

The time came to around nine minutes.

Liang Yan returned home again, finally willing to spend the money to fuse his Hunter's Machete into a second-tier jungle knife, while his two longswords combined into a 【Titanic Hydra】.

Jungle clearing efficiency doubled again; now he could truly walk sideways.

Spirit's Graves reappeared.

Level 6, 24 minion kills, boots + second-tier jungle knife + Caulfield's Warhammer.

His gear didn't look far behind Liang Yan's, but he was two levels lower, and his jungle clear CS was twenty-four less than Liang Yan's… setting aside items, his development speed was on par with a support's—couldn't be worse.

Liang Yan, however, still had no intention of letting him off.

Who told you to pick Rek'Sai right off the bat in the first game?

If you can play, just lock it in.

Learn from it!

Liang Yan headed out again to the red side's upper half, placed a Control Ward in the brush opposite the red buff camp and left a concealed tunnel, then went to top lane, where he and Lao Zhang's Jax trapped Kikis's Nautilus under the tower and killed him; just as the kill was finished, Graves appeared in the vision of that jungle ward, and Liang Yan directly ulted onto him.

The two came face to face; Liang Yan, without a word, unleashed a no-explanation combo.

QFWAQE.

Crack!

The Graves kill went into Rek'Sai's belly once again.

Spirit also flashed.

Liang Yan watched the opponent flash to a corpse hundreds of yards away, couldn't help himself, and instinctively typed in all-chat:

【？】

The female referee standing behind Liang Yan snorted, then put on a stern face and warned:

"Firrrrrre player, please do not post insults toward opponents in the game's public chat; warning issued, repeat offense will be fined."

Liang Yan scratched his head embarrassedly:

"I'm just wondering; he looks like he's never played Rek'Sai……"

"Alright, don't say any more."

"Fine."

Conscience aside, Liang Yan truly didn't intend to mock the enemy.

He really, really was just feeling doubtful.

After all, the enemy is also a professional jungler, and he played Rek'Sai in the previous game—doesn't he know that Rek'Sai's engage combo cannot be dodged with Flash?

Knowing he'd die anyway, he still flashed!

Just so fake!

Until Lao Zhang laughed and said, "The enemy jungler's already broken."

Only then did Liang Yan suddenly realize.

Oh, it's broken.

Then it's fine.

But does being broken mean we shouldn't catch him?

No, being broken makes him easier to catch!

……

More than ten minutes later, when the FNC nexus exploded, Spirit's Graves ended with a final stat line of 2-8-2.

Yes, after taking two kills five minutes prior, he never got another kill nor completed a streak.

When the match ended, Spirit loudly shouted "fuck", then yanked off his headset and smashed it onto the keyboard, on the spot receiving a penalty notice.

The combined combat time of the two games was less than fifty minutes.

Liang Yan also fulfilled his promise, unreservedly showing everyone what "this game I carry" means.

With a 16-0-7 record, the commentator exclaimed in shock, "A killing star has descended!"

As the MVP of the two matches, Liang Yan was left alone on the stage; behind him on the big screen, the Ancient War Soul·Rek'Sai (skin) radiating a bloody aura, and the three large letters "MVP" shone brightly.

The interview host was again Laure, who had only debuted a month or so ago; her image and temperament had undergone a huge change, and she now knew how to use her appearance to advance her career. Today, this yellow-patterned strappy lace top paired with a high-slit black long skirt showed off her slender figure to perfection.

Laure finally asked a rather sharp question, asking Liang Yan to evaluate Spirit's performance with Rek'Sai in the first game.

Liang Yan thought seriously, then said:

"Feels like an amateur."
