The King's Avatar Episode 13 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Wang Jiexi, in order to build confidence for Gao Yingjie, did not hesitate to use himself as a stepping stone, allowing Gao Yingjie to win the match. For a time, Gao Yingjie shocked everyone present, and reporters scrambled to interview this league rookie. Gao Yingjie was somewhat overwhelmed for a moment, and Wang Jiexi helped him fend off the reporters' questions, and the two left the stage one after another.
The other Wei Cao teammates saw that Wang Jiexi had lost and came to comfort him, but Wang Jiexi told them that they were the future of Wei Cao. Gao Yingjie winning the match felt like a dream for a while and he hadn't fully recovered, but Qiao Yifan recalled seeing Wang Jiexi lowering his skill points before the match. He understood his captain's painstaking efforts, so he also encouraged Gao Yingjie, telling him that this was his strength.
The next player to go on stage was Qiao Yifan. Qiao Yifan decided to go on stage this time on his own and did not tell Wang Jiexi. When Wang Jiexi heard his name, he was a little surprised, but still told Qiao Yifan that if he wanted to play, he should play well. The opponent Qiao Yifan wanted to challenge was Li Xuan, the captain of Team Void, known as the league's number one Ghostblade.
Hearing this name, Ye Xiu commented that Qiao Yifan had chosen the wrong opponent. The match map was Desolate Land, which is a regular map for Ghostblades. If Qiao Yifan could strategically arrange his Ghost arrays in advance based on the terrain, he would have a chance to take out the opponent in one wave, but he was facing the league's number one Ghostblade, who probably wouldn't give him such an opportunity.
Neither of them attacked first, but carefully observed the terrain. Li Xuan attacked first. The terrain Qiao Yifan chose was very open, which, while reducing blind spots, also exposed himself. Li Xuan didn't attack directly, but instead looked for Qiao Yifan's visual blind spots, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack. Facing the league's number one Ghostblade, Qiao Yifan was completely suppressed and could only barely defend, his health dropping rapidly, and Li Xuan gave him no chance to breathe.
Qiao Yifan used a feint, taking the opportunity to control Li Xuan, temporarily gaining a chance to counterattack. Tang Rou saw this scene and thought that Qiao Yifan might also win, but Ye Xiu asserted that he would lose. Unexpectedly, Li Xuan was only pretending to be controlled, but in fact counterattacked when Qiao Yifan rushed up, taking him out in one wave. Qiao Yifan failed his challenge and was very dejected.
Facing the aggressive questioning from reporters, Qiao Yifan's emotions were on the verge of collapse. He couldn't control his tears and quickly ran backstage. Ye Xiu was waiting for Qiao Yifan backstage at this time. He understood that Qiao Yifan wanted to use this stage to showcase his talent as a Ghostblade, but still criticized Qiao Yifan for challenging the league's number one Ghostblade after only practicing for a month.
Ye Xiu said that if Qiao Yifan was seeking guidance, choosing Li Xuan was not wrong, but if he was trying to showcase his talent, the last person he should have chosen was Li Xuan. No one in the entire league understood Ghostblades better than Li Xuan, and as a support class, Ghostblades have the most value in a team.
In such a one-on-one match, team skills and awareness are difficult to reflect, and Qiao Yifan's experience was still shallow, so mistakes were bound to happen sooner or later. As Qiao Yifan listened to Ye Xiu's words, his tears flowed even more uncontrollably. He just wanted an opportunity, an opportunity for his captain to value him. But Ye Xiu replied that it wasn't time yet. Qiao Yifan finally couldn't hold back. He had suffered too many cold shoulders.
He didn't know when it would be time. Was he just going to wait like this until he was abandoned? Seeing this, Ye Xiu also softened his tone. He told Qiao Yifan that the only person who could abandon him was himself. Don't doubt yourself, he was still young and had plenty of time to hone his skills. Keep looking for opportunities, bounce back from the bottom, and never say give up. Qiao Yifan was very moved by these words.
He asked Ye Xiu why he retired. Ye Xiu said that he hadn't given up either and was also looking for opportunities. No one wants to live in the shadow of others. On the way back, Ye Xiu brushed past Han Wenqing. Han Wenqing asked him how it felt to sit in the audience. Ye Xiu asked Han Wenqing in return, since he was a year older than him, had he really never thought about leaving the competition arena?
Han Wenqing just snorted lightly, indicating that he would not give up. The next match was between Sun Xiang, the captain of Jia Shi, and Han Wenqing, the captain of Ba Tu. Sun Xiang was the Rookie King last season. This was his first year in the league and he was already selected as an All-Star. Now inheriting Leaf of Autumn, his strength had further improved.
Before the match, Sun Xiang stated that he would settle the many years of grudges between Jia Shi and Ba Tu, and between Leaf of Autumn and Desert Dust. The atmosphere on the scene was very tense, and a great battle was about to erupt. There were no tactical maneuvers at the start, both players rushed directly to the center of the map. Han Wenqing's personality was very strong and he never retreated.
His character, King of Fists Desert Dust, was also a first-generation god-level character in Glory. Sun Xiang's Leaf of Autumn was likewise a first-generation god-level character, with the title of Fighting God, and coupled with Sun Xiang's own personality, his fighting style was also very fierce. This match was destined to be a thrilling close-quarters duel. Han Wenqing launched a fierce attack on Sun Xiang, and Sun Xiang responded with a fluid set of combos.
Tang Rou asked Ye Xiu why Han Wenqing was fighting so hard. Ye Xiu replied that although Han Wenqing was only twenty-six years old, he was already a veteran player. Every match he played was one less match, which was admirable. Tang Rou had overheard the conversation between Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing backstage. Hearing this, she asked him why he, as Ye Qiu, was enjoying early retirement.
Seeing that Tang Rou knew his identity, Ye Xiu quickly asked her to keep it a secret. Tang Rou then asked, if Chen Guo one day found out Ye Xiu's identity, how would he bear Chen Guo's wrath? Ye Xiu looked at Chen Guo's figure cheering vigorously, smiled slightly, and said that Chen Guo would like the surprise when it arrived. Sun Xiang used the same move that Ye Xiu used back then.
Seeing this, Han Wenqing recalled his past with Ye Xiu, and his attention was unconsciously distracted. Sun Xiang took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, temporarily taking the lead in health. Gao Yingjie, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh at Han Wenqing's disadvantage. Qiao Yifan told him that a professional player's career is very short, which is why Wang Jiexi wanted to train Gao Yingjie as the future of Wei Cao.
Seeing this, Gao Yingjie comforted him, saying that it wasn't just his future alone, but their future. But Qiao Yifan smiled with relief. He had figured it out. His future was not in Wei Cao, but he could still have his own light. Seeing Han Wenqing at a disadvantage, Sun Xiang spoke mockingly, saying that Han Wenqing was already old. Hearing this, Han Wenqing's fighting spirit soared, and he launched a fierce counterattack.
Han Wenqing knew that one day he would leave the arena, would be defeated, and would leave Glory, but it wouldn't be today, not here. Both players' health was nearing the bottom, and the result of this duel was about to be revealed. Sun Xiang used the Battlemage ultimate skill, Dragon Raising Head. If this hit, it would directly take out Han Wenqing.
Han Wenqing used Eagle Stamp to dodge the Dragon Raising Head, and at the last moment used the Striker ultimate skill, Wild Tiger Flurry, making a comeback and defeating Sun Xiang. Han Wenqing, with his strength and persistence, proved the capability of a veteran and won the cheers of the entire audience. After the match, although Sun Xiang lost, he was still filled with defiance.
Chang Xian, as a reporter, asked him if what he said before the match was just bragging. Sun Xiang was furious hearing this, but Han Wenqing said from the side that Sun Xiang had played very well, but if it were Ye Qiu playing, that last Dragon Raising Head would never have missed. Before leaving, Han Wenqing patted Sun Xiang on the shoulder and told him that he was still too green to think about changing the era now.
Next was the audience interaction match. In this segment, players from various training camps and lucky audience members would be invited to spar. This was an unexpected segment in the All-Stars, which was not restricted by match rules, focusing on exchange and performance, often featuring expert assistance, making it full of highlights and surprises. The first professional player to take the stage was Li Rui from Jia Shi, and the lucky audience member happened to be Tang Rou.
Both of them were Battlemages. As soon as they came on stage, Tang Rou charged directly at her opponent. Li Rui saw that Tang Rou was just a small account registered less than a month ago and greatly underestimated her. Just then, Tang Rou, with her astonishing hand speed, directly knocked Li Rui flying. Only then did Li Rui begin to take this match seriously. Tang Rou recalled Ye Xiu's guide and beat Li Rui back step by step.
Just when Tang Rou's victory was certain, Li Rui's character, Battle Mage, suddenly dodged the attack and turned the tide of the battle. Everyone present was shocked by this scene. It turned out that Sun Xiang had come on stage to replace Li Rui and began operating the character. Yu Wenzhou saw that Sun Xiang had come on stage to help and couldn't help but lament how strong Sun Xiang's self-esteem was.
After Sun Xiang came on stage, Tang Rou was instantly at a disadvantage. Even though Sun Xiang was facing an ordinary audience member, he still had a strong desire to win and kept humiliating his opponent with small moves. Everyone condemned Sun Xiang's behavior, but Tang Rou did not give up and kept looking for opportunities to counterattack. Seeing this situation, Ye Xiu also walked onto the stage, replaced Tang Rou, and dodged the fatal blow Sun Xiang sent out.
Everyone present was amazed by the frequent reversals in this match. The situation was very tight. In this situation, only using ultimate skills could take down the opponent, otherwise, with small skill exchanges, neither side had full confidence in winning the match when their health was low. Both sides simultaneously released Dragon Raising Head. The match was about to be decided.
At this moment, Han Yanrou's Dragon Raising Head seemed to miss, but suddenly turned around, and Battle Mage did not dodge it. Everyone was shocked that a mere audience member could use Dragon Raising Head, a move only used by Ye Qiu, and they cheered for this victory. People who had fought against Ye Qiu in the past saw this scene and concluded that Ye Qiu had indeed not given up.
That former great god was finally about to return to Glory. Seeing the beautiful move, reporters rushed backstage wanting to interview the great god Ye Qiu, but they only saw an empty chair. Ye Xiu left silently. He knew that every reluctant departure was for the final return.
