The King's Avatar Episode 16 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Ye Xiu arrived at the Heavenly Domain, only to unexpectedly find someone waiting for him there. Several people successively launched attacks on Ye Xiu, and Ye Xiu easily dealt with each one. These people were Lan Yu's Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian, Ba Tu's Han Wenqing, and Wei Cao's Wang Jiexi. Ye Xiu knew these people weren't really trying to spar with him and wanted to log off, but Huang Shaotian stopped him.
Huang Shaotian asked the question everyone was concerned about: what did Ye Xiu's statement mean? Ye Xiu only replied that he just didn't want his old friends to be sad. He told everyone they could log off now and perhaps see each other on the competition stage. Hearing this, they knew Ye Xiu had made up his mind to return to Glory and all showed knowing smiles.
They unanimously left the same message: "Welcome back to the Heavenly Domain, may the Glory with you never end." Ye Xiu was very grateful for his opponents' welcome. Chen Guo saw the statement Ye Xiu posted and couldn't help but complain about why he had to repay kindness with resentment like that. Bao Rongxing was confused, thinking Chen Guo was criticizing Ye Qiu, and he echoed her words repeatedly, even making a move to smash Ye Qiu's figurine.
Chen Guo asked him if he knew who Ye Qiu was. Bao Rongxing jokingly asked, "Could Ye Qiu be Ye Xiu?" After getting a positive answer, Bao Rongxing couldn't control his shock and still broke Ye Qiu's figurine. Su Mucheng brought a photo of Ye Qiu to find him, and the two together chose a photo of participating in the Challenger League. The two of them rode bikes side by side.
Su Mucheng asked Ye Qiu if he could handle all the preparations for returning to the alliance by himself. Ye Qiu replied that he needed a boss and had already thought of a candidate for the boss. Su Mucheng told him that in the new year, everyone should have a new beginning. As they were talking, magnificent fireworks bloomed in the sky above the city. The two of them watched the fireworks, both full of anticipation for the new year.
Qiao Yifan was still training in the training camp, but it seemed he had no intention of returning to Wei Cao. Wang Jiexi looked at Qiao Yifan's training report and found that he hadn't participated in the training camp assessment. Ye Xiu stated that his own exam was more important. Hearing this, Wang Jiexi asked about Qiao Yifan's score. Ye Xiu replied that the Assassin score was negative, and the Ghostblade score was zero.
Wang Jiexi sighed upon hearing this, thinking it was just zero points. But Ye Xiu said that they also started from zero points back then; zero points is the starting point. Wang Jiexi saw through Ye Xiu's intention to have Qiao Yifan go to him and expressed his gratitude to Ye Xiu for helping Qiao Yifan find a starting point.
Wang Jiexi wanted Ye Xiu to join Wei Cao, but Ye Xiu said he didn't like Wei Cao green; he wanted his own color. Wang Jiexi asked Ye Xiu what his plans were. Ye Xiu replied that he wanted to build a team. The two of them bantered about each other's ages and finally reached the consensus that newcomers are the future of Glory. Ye Xiu took Wang Jiexi to Xingxin Internet Cafe.
Chen Guo was behind him complaining about Wang Jiexi's interview being too official, but she was overheard by the person himself. Chen Guo awkwardly apologized to Wang Jiexi, but Wang Jiexi seriously took her words into consideration. Ye Xiu then introduced Tang Rou to Wang Jiexi. Wang Jiexi commented that her playstyle was very similar to Ye Qiu's, but Tang Rou felt that she was herself.
Chen Guo was very proud to see various master-level figures coming to her internet cafe now, but seeing how good Ye Xiu's relationship with Wang Jiexi seemed, she was afraid Wang Jiexi would take Ye Xiu away, so she decided to follow and see. Ye Xiu knew Chen Guo was eavesdropping, so he hinted in a roundabout way, wanting Chen Guo to propose becoming the boss of his team herself. Chen Guo indeed fell into the trap.
When she heard Ye Xiu was considering joining the Wei Cao team, she couldn't help but voice her objection. Ye Xiu brought up the difficulties that building a team might encounter, wanting to test Chen Guo's determination through this. Chen Guo showed him that she would never give up. Chen Guo found Tang Rou and wanted to discuss building a team with her.
Tang Rou seriously told her that building a team is very serious and not a joke, and Chen Guo also firmly expressed her attitude. To show her determination, Chen Guo slapped her ID card and bank cards down in front of Ye Xiu, telling him she had already thought about how to build a team. Ye Xiu asked her if she could endure hardship, stay up late, and withstand setbacks. Chen Guo insisted she could.
Seeing her like this, Ye Xiu told her that to build a team, she must at least first have a Glory guild and pass the license exam. Chen Guo smiled upon hearing this and told Ye Xiu that she would definitely prove it to him. Chen Guo was finally going to fulfill her eSports dream, and she began preparing nervously. She established the Invincible Handsome Guy Guild and recruited new members by offering rewards for scanning a code.
The number of guild members grew, and the level also increased. Chen Guo was very proud and conveniently accepted the guardian power task. She fantasized that after she finished her exam and Ye Xiu finished the guardian power task, they could have a celebration banquet that night. Ye Xiu was so surprised to hear they still had to do the guardian power task that he couldn't even swallow the water in his mouth.
After accepting the guardian power task, it had to be completed within two hours, or the guild would disband. Ye Xiu could only urgently summon the team members and start the guardian power task. Although the elites who joined the guild were skilled, the monsters' health just wouldn't decrease. Ye Xiu saw that these few people were deliberately missing their shots. It turned out that these elites who joined the guild were spies from other guilds.
They knew that Ye Xiu's next step after forming a guild was to build a team, which would be a threat to all of them. There were only two chances for the guardian power challenge. The first one was wasted like this. With not much time left, how to pass the guardian power task became a difficult problem. Ye Xiu and the team members all fell into low spirits. Chen Guo returned from buying things and saw the heavy atmosphere.
She felt very guilty but could only try her best to lighten the mood. Ye Xiu criticized her, saying that others surpassed her not because they were better, but because Chen Guo hadn't even taken action yet and had already given herself a red light; she should carefully consider whether she was suitable to build a team. Hearing this, Chen Guo said stubbornly that she would quit and not be the team's boss anymore.
Ye Xiu was very helpless and taunted her, saying that it wasn't the first or second day Chen Guo had given up halfway and that she shouldn't participate in the following exams either. Chen Guo talked back and stormed out of the internet cafe. Luo Ji calculated the combat data and told it to Ye Xiu. Hearing this, Ye Xiu organized everyone to hurry and challenge again.
In this challenge, Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng controlled the monsters, and the others went all out with their output, focusing on full attack. Chen Yehui was still smug, telling the other spies to miss their shots as much as possible, continuously attacking the mountain wall, thus causing Ye Xiu's task to fail. The challenge proceeded minute by minute. The monster's health remained high, and the team members were all very anxious.
Bao Rongxing even wanted to give up but continued attacking the monster under Ye Xiu's persuasion. As the challenge time was about to run out, the monster still hadn't been killed, but Ye Xiu still didn't give up, and Luo Ji was still calculating the combat data.
At the last moment of the challenge, just when everyone thought this challenge would fail again, the stone wall, made vulnerable by the spies' attacks, collapsed with a crash, exactly hitting the monster under the stone wall. The spies' actions accidentally helped kill the monster, and Chen Yehui felt extremely frustrated. After the battle, everyone celebrated the victory. Bao Rongxing hadn't seen the various schemes hidden in this challenge and thought it was just good luck.
Qiao Yifan and Tang Rou pointed out that Ye Xiu was turning the enemy's plan against them. Ye Xiu then explained his strategy with Luo Ji. Tang Rou asked him why he still provoked Chen Guo since he had planned it all along. Ye Xiu replied that he was just using a motivational tactic to make Chen Guo focus more on her exam. Chen Guo walked out of the internet cafe and wandered aimlessly on the street. She repeatedly recalled what Ye Xiu had said to her and deeply reflected on her own personality and actions.
