Chapter 167 Xuanwu Appears
When Yi Nuo heard that Gu Lin'an was behind it, she retaliated with her "Return My Beauty Fist" punch, only to be picked up by Gu Lin'an and thrown onto the sofa.
Then came a minute-long period of bullying.
"You've got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on me. I'll teach you a lesson."
"Whether it's right or wrong," Gu Lin'an said, patting Yi Nuo's bottom.
Xuanran covered her eyes and muttered, "Yinuo, protect your butt, your butt."
"Alright, stop fooling around, the competition is about to start," Milk Tea said.
Gu Lin'an then let Yi Nuo go, and the five of them gathered around the milk tea to watch the game. Just then, the director cut to the camera to introduce each team member.
"Wait a minute, Coach, look, HG has changed their support player. It doesn't seem to be the same one as before."
The sharp-eyed Zhong Yi noticed that HG's support had become a boy even wider than Xuan Ran.
Milk Tea smacked her lips and said, "I heard HG is going to make a blood transfusion. At first, I thought it was fake."
"After all, it's a competition, and there are bound to be problems with teamwork between teammates. I didn't expect them to actually dare to do it."
Gu Lin'an said, "But judging from the way Zhuque and Xuanwu exchanged glances, they seemed to know each other very well."
"The Vermilion Bird was transferred from the alliance next door, so this Black Tortoise wouldn't be either, would it?"
"Oh no, Brother An, does that mean the HG owner bought an entire league team?"
Milk Tea's gaze sharpened, and she said in a deep voice, "Very likely. We'd better be careful when we face HG next week."
The most dreaded teams in competitions are rookie teams, because we can't figure out their strategies and are easily taken advantage of.
Just like XYG at the beginning, they posed a huge threat to all teams back then.
Returning our focus to the match, the commentary team remains the "Curie" duo.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the KLP match venue. I'm commentator Li Jiu."
"I am Juju."
"Today's match is between HG team and Beijing WB, which is sure to be a highlight."
"How so?" Juju continued to play the straight man.
"HG has a new member joining today, his name is Xuanwu."
"Zhuque made some very impressive plays in the last match against Wuhan eStarPro. I wonder what kind of performance Xuanwu will deliver this time."
Juju said, "Then without further ado, let's wait and see."
"Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, and maybe they'll have White Tiger later on?" Changsheng joked.
"Where did I come from? HG has raised a bunch of mythical beasts."
Milk Tea said, "There's nothing we can do; the owner of the HG team is rather superstitious."
The AG members stopped joking and continued watching the match.
The group stared intently at the computer screen. Zhong Yi nudged Gu Lin'an and asked, "Brother An, which team do you think will win?"
Gu Lin'an shrugged, "I don't know either. Although I really hope HG loses, I think their marksman and support are quite strong."
After a round of drafting and banning, both sides ended up with relatively satisfactory lineups.
HG acquired these five heroes: Ya Lian for the top lane, Jiang Ziya for the mid lane, Gongsun Li for the bottom lane, Yao for support, and Lan for jungle.
The heroes Beijing WB received are: Lian Po for the top lane, Gan Jiang Mo Xie for the mid lane, Lu Ban No. 7 for the bottom lane, Lu Ban Master for support, and Kai for jungle.
Both sides have good lineups, with two core players. It remains to be seen how much impact their core players can have in this game.
At the start of the game, Gu Lin'an and his team focused primarily on HG's bottom lane duo.
Suzaku first used a precise basic attack to attack the second minion, and then began attacking the neutral resources next to it.
I dodged the egg's passive ability with my movement, but I still lost most of my health.
Yi Nuo muttered to himself, "This method seems familiar. Damn, isn't this the same tactic you used against me in the peak competition?"
He still vividly remembers the terror he felt when he was controlled by Gu Lin'an and Gongsun Li.
Gu Lin'an nodded. "This time, Lu Dan needs to use Flash, or he'll be dead for sure."
As soon as Gu Lin'an finished speaking, Zhuque's Gongsun Li used her second skill to block Qiao Xi's passive sweeping attack, while simultaneously clearing out the low-health minions and monsters to reach level two.
Once the berserk mode was activated, Qiao Xi started firing incessantly, and her spiky health was about to drop to zero.
Yi Nuo said, "Isn't Qiao Xi leaving this time? What is he waiting for?"
"He probably wanted to launch a counterattack. He leveled up his second skill after clearing the last minion," Gu Lin'an explained.
After Qiao Xi finished off the last minion, she used Flash followed by her second skill to try and pin Zhu Que against the wall, but the latter disappeared in front of her, dodging the attack.
Qiao Xi didn't expect this guy to be so fast. It was too late to leave. The carrot had already caught up with him, and then he let out a scream.
"Such fast hand speed!" Zhong Yi exclaimed.
Gu Lin'an analyzed in his mind that his hand speed was currently 73.5 points, while Zhuque's was at least around 72 points, and Yi Nuo's hand speed was around 68 points.
If Yi Nuo were to face Zhu Que, the outcome would be hard to predict. Fortunately, he can heal his teammates.
He just checked the entry and found that Yi Nuo's cat-licking level had reached an astonishing 100%, enjoying a 15% boost.
Gu Lin'an looked at Yi Nuo with a puzzled expression. Was he really that charming? Even Zhong Yi and Chang Sheng's level of licking his boots was only fifty percent.
However, the more he watched Suzaku's fighting style, the more familiar it became to him, and he was certain that he had encountered this person before.
"buzz"
The phone beeped, and Gu Lin'an opened it to find that it was a message from Xiao Tian.
"Why is this kid sending me messages when he's not even watching the game?" Gu Lin'an muttered.
Logically, they were enemies. In ancient times, it was punishable by death to pass messages between them before a battle.
Gu Lin'an walked out of the room and replied: [What is it?]
[An Shen, are you watching the game right now?]
[Watching, your new marksman is really strong.]
[Even An Shen can't beat him?] Xiao Tian's words were filled with shock.
No, not really. They're very strong, but not so strong as to be invincible.
"Xiao Tian, why did you message me? Are you trying to scout out the enemy?" Gu Lin'an joked.
A few seconds later, Xiao Tian replied: [Reassure you, Zhuque is the Marco Polo you met when you were aiming for the top spot.]
[The heroes that Zhuque excels at playing are Gongsun Li, Marco Polo, and Huang Zhong.]
Other marksmen are fine too, but I haven't seen him play any.
Xuanwu excels at supporting tanky heroes, such as Su Lie, Niu Mo, and Zhang Fei.
Two more players will be joining HG later. I heard from Zhuque that they are both very strong, so you need to be careful.
Gu Lin'an felt that Xiao Tian was giving his last words.
【Xiao Tian, what do you mean?】
[Anshen, I'm planning to retire.]
Xiao Tian's words left Gu Lin'an completely stunned.
