The King's Avatar Episode 23 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
An Wenyi, who was going to find Qiao Yifan, was stopped by Chen Yehui. An Wenyi didn't recognize him, but Chen Yehui said An Wenyi was a hack. An Wenyi didn't want to pay attention to him, but Chen Yehui pointed out the matter of him ghostwriting (playing for someone else). An Wenyi turned around upon hearing this and asked Chen Yehui who he was. Chen Yehui said that he wanted to make a deal with An Wenyi.
As long as An Wenyi played passively and made Xing Xin lose, he could give An Wenyi double the reward Xing Xin offered. An Wenyi was unmoved. Chen Yehui then threatened to expose the ghostwriting matter, leaving An Wenyi with only two choices: take the money or suffer ruin and disgrace. Before the match, Ye Xiu had a serious duel with Qiao Yifan. Qiao Yifan's moves were very hesitant, and he was knocked down by Ye Xiu again and again.
Ye Xiu told Qiao Yifan that the consequence of hesitation was being constrained everywhere. Qiao Yifan finally got Ye Xiu under control, but he hesitated at the moment he swung his blade, giving Ye Xiu a chance to counterattack. Ye Xiu asked Qiao Yifan what he truly wanted. Qiao Yifan looked at the other teams coming and going and finally made up his mind, saying he wanted to win.
Hearing this, Ye Xiu told Qiao Yifan that if he wanted to win, he should point his blade at him. However, Qiao Yifan was still afraid. Ye Xiu asked him what exactly he was afraid of. Qiao Yifan replied that he was afraid of not being able to bear the responsibility, afraid of making everyone lose the match because of him, and also afraid of disappointing Ye Xiu.
But Ye Xiu said that Glory was never a world for just one person, and they would wait for Qiao Yifan. The Mentor Match was the most basic screening mechanism in Glory professional matches. Rather than a competition, it was more like a teaching guidance, where strong teams participating in the professional league served as mentors. Each member of the Challenger team needed to complete the task of crossing the line under the mentors' interception.
Within the specified time, each person who crossed the line counted as one point, and the final ranking was based on the points. Gao Yingjie didn't see Qiao Yifan in the Xing Xin team and asked Wang Jiexi if he would come. Wang Jiexi replied that if he was a professional player, he would come. Qiao Yifan finally overcame the hurdle in his heart and arrived at the competition venue before the match.
Ye Xiu saw him, smiled with relief, and patted him on the shoulder. There was another exciting highlight in this match: Ye Xiu activated his new account Jun Moxiao and chose the Unspecialized profession. The Unspecialized profession was equivalent to having no profession, relying solely on the self-made weapon in his hand, the thousand-machine umbrella. The thousand-machine umbrella could make corresponding changes based on all 120 low-level pre-specialization skills from all twenty-four professions in Glory below level 20.
This meant it could switch between various forms without cooldown, having both obvious advantages and disadvantages, and being extremely difficult to use. The Mentor Match between Xing Xin and Wei Cao began. The Xing Xin team members pushed forward together under the leadership of Ye Xiu. Wei Cao utilized the terrain of Empty Forest to set up an ambush, gaining a significant advantage. In this situation, Xing Xin could only counterattack.
Ye Xiu's surprise attack was successful, temporarily stabilizing the situation, and both sides fell into a stalemate. Wei Cao surrounded Xing Xin but did not rush into the next round of offense. The situation was unfavorable for Xing Xin. Currently, all Xing Xin members had progressed 25%. The Wei Cao team, with two Witches, had strong mobility, and if Xing Xin was pinned down, it would be difficult for them to escape.
At this point, only by delaying the two Witches could Xing Xin possibly achieve victory. Thinking of this, Qiao Yifan decided to stay behind and hold back the Witches while the rest continued running the map. Qiao Yifan cast a Ghost Array from a tree, effectively disrupting Wang Jiexi's rhythm. Wei Cao intended to control Xing Xin by managing their health. Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing were covered in negative effects, their health dropping rapidly.
It was time for the Cleric to step up. However, An Wenyi seemed to be out of sync and didn't remove the negative effects for his teammates. If this continued, Xing Xin's battle situation would be extremely unfavorable. Seeing this, Ye Xiu decided to stay behind and cover the retreat, letting the others go first. Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing's health was about to be depleted. An Wenyi finally cast a skill, but it had no effect.
Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing were still eliminated, and Xing Xin's progress retreated from 90% to 80%. Ye Xiu told An Wenyi to just heal him. After speaking, he continued to counter Wei Cao's offense. Ye Xiu's health bar was also nearing the bottom. At the critical moment, An Wenyi finally healed Ye Xiu, preventing his death. An Wenyi's timing for healing was excellent, allowing Ye Xiu to continue fighting.
Seeing this, Wei Cao felt the Cleric was a greater threat and decided to eliminate An Wenyi first. Ye Xiu and Qiao Yifan jointly protected An Wenyi, letting him rush past the finish line first. However, just when he was about to score the first point, An Wenyi stopped. He remembered what Chen Yehui had said to him before the match and fell into a fierce internal struggle. Everyone was very puzzled by his stopping.
An Wenyi's heart was constantly in conflict. He recalled Xing Xin's team spirit and finally decided to rush across the finish line, winning the victory for Xing Xin. Xing Xin achieved a good start. In the joyful atmosphere of victory, An Wenyi walked out of the competition room and called Chen Yehui. He told Chen Yehui that he was no longer afraid of him, that he had chosen his own path, and that he would bear the consequences.
Ye Xiu noticed An Wenyi's action and followed him. An Wenyi discovered Ye Xiu behind him and confessed everything to him. Ye Xiu asked him if learning the magic to clear negative effects would make the lie go away. But An Wenyi knew that the magic to clear negative effects was not that easy to learn. Yet, Ye Xiu asked him to stay and said he would teach him.
After the match, Qiao Yifan waited at the entrance for the Wei Cao team to come out. Upon seeing Qiao Yifan, Wang Jiexi expressed his praise for him, telling him that choosing Xing Xin was the right decision. Other team members also encouraged Qiao Yifan. Qiao Yifan and the Wei Cao team agreed to see each other on the competition field in the future.
Back at Xing Xin Internet Cafe, Chen Guo distributed the contracts to all the team members and asked if anyone had any opinions. An Wenyi said he wanted to change the contract duration to until Xing Xin won the championship. An Wenyi found Qiao Yifan and told him that the equipment he bought for him was not cost-effective, being twice the market price. Qiao Yifan explained that time was urgent then, and he could only buy such equipment.
Moreover, not everything could achieve optimal cost-effectiveness. Hearing this, An Wenyi told Qiao Yifan that him playing Glory with him indeed didn't need any cost-effectiveness. Upon hearing this, Qiao Yifan turned over the photo. Below the sentence he had written, An Wenyi's reply was added - "You're welcome." Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian were discussing this week's match against the Xing Xin team.
Huang Shaotian kept flattering Yu Wenzhou, while Yu Wenzhou gradually led him into his trap and assigned him the task of dealing with Xing Xin. Huang Shaotian secretly complained to Ye Xiu that Yu Wenzhou was a devil. Unexpectedly, his conversation with Ye Xiu was projected onto the big screen. Yu Wenzhou saw it, smiled without speaking, and asked Huang Shaotian if typing so much was tiring.
Only then did Huang Shaotian realize his complaint had long been exposed and quickly pretended that nothing had happened. Ye Xiu listened to Huang Shaotian calling to complain about Yu Wenzhou and asked him what he wanted to say. Huang Shaotian told Ye Xiu that Yu Wenzhou was very serious about this match, and it was basically impossible for them to get five points by crossing the line.
Luo Ji calculated the data for Xing Xin and Lan Yu, concluding that the probability of every Xing Xin team member crossing the line was only a little over four percent. The few of them analyzed Lan Yu's tactics. Ye Xiu said they needed someone who knew Lan Yu inside and out, whose tactics were best completely different from Lan Yu's, a wild card approach, and it would be even better if the profession was Warlock.
Qiao Yifan heard Ye Xiu's words and asked him if he had a candidate in mind. Ye Xiu replied that some old bones should come out and see the light of day. Ye Xiu contacted Wei Chen and told him his purpose, but Wei Chen said that he had long since stopped being a professional player. As he was speaking, Luo Ji found Wei Chen's address. Seeing this, Ye Xiu exited the conversation window with Wei Chen. On the other side, Wei Chen also found Ye Xiu's address. Both of them, by coincidence, headed to the other person's location to check.
