The King's Avatar Episode 38 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Qiao Yifan used visual deception, shocking everyone. Wei Chen was confused and kept asking Ye Xiu what was going on, but Ye Xiu said he didn't know either. Qiao Yifan had created a completely new playstyle for Ghostblade. Feast of Ghost Array's cooldown was almost finished. Qiao Yifan seized the last opportunity and cast Feast of Ghost Array towards Xiao Shiqin. However, just as Xiao Shiqin was about to lose, he used Mechanic Pursuit.
Although Qiao Yifan successfully dodged, he triggered the bouncing mines that Xiao Shiqin had already set up in ambush, and both were eliminated simultaneously. The wonderful match between Qiao Yifan and Xiao Shiqin made the entire venue erupt in thunderous applause. And Gao Yingjie in the audience knew that today's success was the result of Qiao Yifan's consistent and unremitting efforts. The next match was the crucial point of this group arena.
Xing Xin sent out Ye Xiu to face the challenge, while Jia Shi sent out Qiu Fei. Both were very familiar with each other's playstyle and operational details. This match would skip a lot of probing and get straight to the point. Sure enough, at the start, the two of them made no tactical movements and charged directly towards each other. However, Jia Shi already had a two-kill lead.
At this moment, Ye Xiu bore great responsibility; he had to take down as many players as possible, otherwise Xing Xin's group arena would be very dangerous. Ye Xiu unleashed a fluid Felling Palm, while Qiu Fei launched Mountain Breaking Dragon Fall, interrupting Ye Xiu's offense. Qiu Fei then followed up with a twenty-one hit combo on Ye Xiu. After Ye Xiu broke free, both attacked each other simultaneously, but Ye Xiu suddenly disappeared.
Qiu Fei lost his target and fell into a passive situation. He was very cautious and did not move randomly. Just as everyone was guessing where Ye Xiu would cut in from, Ye Xiu used Ninja Technique: Earth Concealment, attacking Qiu Fei from underground. Qiu Fei quickly dodged, and then launched Dragon Tooth at Ye Xiu, but he was repelled by Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu gradually gained control of the battle and used a twenty-six hit combo to take down Qiu Fei. Xing Xin took another round, leveling the score to four to six, with Jia Shi temporarily in the lead. Although Qiu Fei lost the match, he once again received guidance from Ye Xiu during the match. He recalled Ye Xiu's guidance to him on his journey into Glory and typed "Thank you" on the keyboard to Ye Xiu.
The next player to come out for Jia Shi was Sun Xiang, and the showdown between Jia Shi's two former captains was about to begin. As soon as he entered the stage, Sun Xiang declared that he would have a direct head-on confrontation with Ye Xiu, and he also charged directly towards the center of the map as he said he would. However, Sun Xiang, who had reached the center of the map, did not see Ye Xiu.
At this moment, Ye Xiu was healing himself in a corner. Seeing this, Sun Xiang provoked Ye Xiu, saying that healing himself now might leave him with insufficient mana during their later fight. This remark actually reminded Ye Xiu, so Ye Xiu started regenerating his mana again. Seeing the operation of healing himself and regenerating mana in the group arena, everyone couldn't help but exclaim that Ye Xiu was truly shameless.
The match finally officially began, and the two commenced their duel. Sun Xiang, seeking damage, immediately used the ultimate skill Sea Overturning Dragon as soon as he came up, but Ye Xiu seized an opening. Ye Xiu used Z-move to dodge the attack, and Sun Xiang immediately followed up with Magical Streak attacks. Although most people were somewhat confused by Sun Xiang's operation, some saw the key to the problem. This was a combination play used by Sun Xiang.
His Sea Overturning Dragon was not for showing off skills, but to use the water wave effect to obscure the trajectory of the Magical Streak attacks, making it impossible for Ye Xiu to dodge. After a round of attacks, the situation remained balanced. Both sides closed in again. Tyrannical Break triggered a Mountain Collapse effect, extending the attack range, and Ye Xiu was hit.
The Battle Lance Evil Annihilation had a significant increase in attack speed after being upgraded to Level 75. And Sun Xiang's attack rhythm could even keep up with the Unspecialized character who only used low-level skills. Besides the character upgrade, Sun Xiang had also become stronger. The exchange of skills between the two sides became faster and faster. This match had become a contest of hand speed between two top-tier players.
Both sides continuously switched between offense and defense, and their hand speed also became faster and faster. Sun Xiang continued to suppress Ye Xiu. Facing Sun Xiang's offense, Ye Xiu seemed to be having some difficulty parrying. Ye Xiu's health was already low, and the rhythm of the match was completely in Sun Xiang's hands. If this continued, Ye Xiu was probably going to lose. Ye Xiu used Gatling Gun to attack Sun Xiang, forcing Sun Xiang to move.
Sun Xiang dodged to the side, attempting to get behind Ye Xiu, but he was hit by Shuriken Rotation. The two continued to clash, and Ye Xiu actually turned the tide of the battle despite his disadvantageous health. It turned out that Ye Xiu had intentionally sacrificed health earlier, wanting to find Sun Xiang's weakness.
Ye Xiu also realized that the current Sun Xiang was indeed difficult to deal with, but he would not give Sun Xiang any more chances from now on. Sun Xiang's health continued to drop. He used Soaring Dragon Creation Array, but it was avoided by Ye Xiu. Unexpectedly, Sun Xiang's move turned out to be Dragon's Return, which hit Ye Xiu.
Just when everyone thought Sun Xiang had won, the winning side displayed on the big screen was actually Ye Xiu! It turned out that Ye Xiu used the grapple effect of Soaring Dragon Creation Array to send himself in front of Sun Xiang, and took advantage of the stun effect after Soaring Dragon Creation Array was released to launch a Sky Strike.
But it was also relying on the low-level skill Block below Level 20 that Ye Xiu snatched back zero point zero three percent of his health, and it was precisely this zero point zero three percent of health that won him this match. The brilliance of this match was absolutely top-notch. And in preparation for the duel with Ye Xiu in the finals, Sun Xiang had also trained tirelessly day and night, continuously breaking through his limits.
Losing this match, he did not feel frustrated and impulsive like before. Instead, he smiled with relief and bowed deeply to the audience. And he also understood a principle today: one should not be accomplished by the character, but rather accomplish the character oneself. Although Ye Xiu won the match, he chose to leave the stage immediately due to his extremely low health. The next match would be between Xing Xin's Wei Chen and Jia Shi's Shen Jian.
The key to a Warlock versus Striker duel lies in whether the Warlock can control the distance and use range advantage to wear down the opponent. The Striker must continuously close in to have a chance to defeat the Warlock. At the start, Shen Jian charged towards Wei Chen. Wei Chen used Magic Bullet to affect his opponent's movement. Shen Jian closed in, Wei Chen backstepped to dodge, and directly released Six Star Prison, hitting his opponent.
Although seemingly calm on the surface, Wei Chen was actually worried about his injured right hand. And at this moment, Ye Xiu also noticed that something was wrong and asked Bao Rongxing what had happened to Wei Chen's hand. Although Shen Jian didn't have much health left, his playstyle was still very aggressive, looking for every opportunity to wear down Wei Chen. Shen Jian closed in again. Wei Chen used Magic Mirror Block.
Shen Jian used High Flying Kick, wearing down Wei Chen further. Shen Jian, with only a sliver of health left, was still charging forward. Wei Chen released a Magic Bullet and directly finished him off. Although Bao Rongxing wanted to conceal Wei Chen's injury, Ye Xiu still decided to call Wei Chen down. He knew how important hands were to an esports player. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bao Rongxing revealed everything about Wei Chen's injury.
Wei Chen had said that Xing Xin needed him, so he had to play and he had to win this match, because this might also be his last match. Hearing these words, Ye Xiu said that without winning the championship, there was no talk of 'last'. The last player to come out for Jia Shi was Su Mucheng. Seeing this arrangement, Su Mucheng was very surprised because the initial tactical arrangement was not like this.
Tao Xuan told her that this was a tactical adjustment made on the spot. Su Mucheng could only go on stage. Seeing this, Xiao Shiqin comforted her and told her not to feel burdened. After Su Mucheng went on stage, Xiao Shiqin accused Tao Xuan of putting Su Mucheng in a dilemma. Even if Su Mucheng lost the match normally, it would arouse suspicion. But this was exactly the effect Tao Xuan wanted. Su Mucheng had only one choice, and that was to win.
