The King's Avatar Chapter 1110-1111Chapter 1110: Forcing Demon Subduer

Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi

Fang Rui didn’t immediately contend with Ye Xiu. If Ye Xiu was over here, then what was happening on the other side? Fang Rui immediately turned his camera to look.

When he looked, Fang Rui almost cried.

Demon Subduer had always been the symbol of Wind Howl. But the number one Brawler in Glory was currently being ridden by another Brawler, who was using Tyrannical Chain Punch on him.

Fang Rui couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Tang Hao, who was sitting not far away from him.

It was evident that Tang Hao was furious. The veins on his forehead looked as if they would burst into antennas.

What are they doing!

Fang Rui found it hard to believe. Didn’t they all go over to assist him? Why was Tang Hao being bullied to such a state?

When he looked more carefully, he realized that Tang Hao wasn’t the only person who was in a difficult situation.

The three classes that went over to help were an Elementalist, a Knight, and a Cleric.

It was needless to talk about the Cleric. He was a strong shield, but not a strong attacker.

The Knight? Since he moved so slowly in that plate armor of his, he was currently being blown to bits by Su Mucheng’s Dancing Rain.

The Elementalist? It was unknown what had happened, but the Ninja from Happy was able to get close to him through a sneak attack, so Zhao Yuzhe was also in a thorny situation. However, the greater threat was still behind him. After Soft Mist had switched places with Lord Grim, she sprinted straight towards him.

What is happening?

Fang Rui found it unimaginable. He didn’t mean to be contemptuous towards Happy, but to be completely oppressed by Happy like this?

“Retreat retreat retreat!”

Regardless of this, Fang Rui was still a general who could take charge. Although he was shocked at their current state, he wasn’t panicked. It was still too early to determine whether this was a victory or a loss. Wind Howl just needed to reorganize themselves. After all, their team made it to the semifinals last season, so it would be illogical for them to be completely oppressed by a new team like Happy. There was only one explanation: their attacks were too careless. Without having a clear plan behind their attacks, it became very easy for Happy to catch their weaknesses.

Happy was able to catch this point and counterattacked. Every mix-up was aimed at their flaws, forcing them into a passive state, making it difficult for them to establish a steady tempo. Excellent Era was defeated in the same way in the Challenger League.

At least Excellent Era had the advantage in equipment at the time. They had made preparations as well unlike Wind Howl. As a result, it wasn’t surprising that Wind Howl was in an even more embarrassing situation.

In any case, they should fully break away from the fight in order to cut off Happy’s tempo. After that, they could start anew.

Fang Rui thought. Instead of challenging Ye Xiu by himself, he quickly turned away to provide cover for his teammates to retreat.

“In the end, it’s the experienced players who are harder to deal with!” When Ye Xiu saw Fang Rui’s decision, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. However, he still continued to taunt: “Why are you running, you crude thief? Won’t you listen to my lecture?”

Fang Rui ignored him. He was regretful that the middle finger wasn’t an emoji, otherwise, he would definitely pointing it at Ye Xiu.

Doubtful Demon continued to run. He continuously planted traps in order to shrink Happy’s maneuver space. Lord Grim pursued him, but how could Fang Rui give him another chance to close in again? He increased his speed to sprint all over the place.

Thieves weren’t able to directly break through places like certain ferocious classes, but by letting him lay out his pieces in formation, the limitations that he created would affect the battle as a whole. Ye Xiu knew about this, but Fang Rui wasn’t an opponent he could catch just by wanting to. The master of playing dirty wasn’t a joke.

As a result, Ye Xiu decided not to waste any more energy and switched targets.

F*ck, this guy wants to kill Tang Hao!

Fang Rui immediately perceived Ye Xiu’s intentions. As expected, it was unrealistic for him to divert Ye Xiu’s attention so easily

In the end, it’s the experienced players who are harder to deal with! Fang Rui came up with the same evaluation.

The oppressed Tang Hao was finally able to find an opportunity to break out. After all, Steamed Bun couldn’t oppress him forever

Uppercut, Knee Attack, Powerful Knee Strike!

Tang Hao delivered a wave of counterattacks after seizing the opportunity. He nailed Steamed Bun Invasion onto the wall in an instant.

He then spun his view around. In the end, he still remembered to take note of their situation first and saw Soft Mist charging forward in a threatening and aggressive manner. Tang Rou originally intended to fight Zhao Yuzhe’s Elementalist with Mo Fan, but when she saw Steamed Bun being knocked over by Tang Hao, she immediately assisted him first.

Tang Hao let out a cold ‘hmph’. He was incomparably confident in a direct confrontation.

Demon Subduer didn’t retreat and sprinted straight towards Soft Mist.

You’re fierce? I’ll be even fiercer!

Tang Hao liked this style.

He wasn’t afraid, so Tang Rou was even more fearless. When it seemed like the two characters were about to clash, Tang Hao took advantage of a Brawler’s mid-ranged attacks and launched the first attack. As his body flickered, he sneakily threw out a Poison Needle.

If you played a Brawler and couldn’t play dirty, then you couldn’t possibly be qualified to be called a Brawler. This class had many skills that were suited to trick people.

Tang Rou didn’t detect Demon Subduer’s hidden Poison Needle sneak attack, so she was hit by it. Tang Hao seized the opening and used a Powerful Knee Strike. Right when his flying figure was about to crash into Soft Mist, he heard his teammate warn him to watch out.

A sneak attack?

Tang Hao laughed coldly. He knew that Steamed Bun Invasion was currently behind him and that the fellow was very restless.

Tang Hao had been prepared. The Powerful Knee Strike was originally an attack that could fly out at high speed. If he slightly turned his body, how could a sneak attack hit him?

As he turned, Tang Hao shot a glance at Steamed Bun Invasion behind him. The glance showed contempt: Little guy, if you want to play with me, you’re still lacking!

Unfortunately, a handful of sand immediately blinded Demon Subduer’s eyes.

Why would you use a Sand Toss when sneaking up on a person from behind??? Steamed Bun Invasion turned out to use it, so when Tang Hao turned his head to look, he happened to be hit by it.

His screen completely blacked out as if the power was cut. Tang Hao was about to go mad.

In order to prevent the opponent from closing up on him, he quickly used a chain of punches and kicks for the sake of self-defense. But then, a Satellite Beam dropped down from the sky and completely engulfed Demon Subduer.

Supporting any spot on the map was one of Su Mucheng’s strengths.

Screen Cannon?

This attack had an air of tactics to it. Fang Rui discovered that Happy’s tempo provided many tactical options. Just a slight change could produce a different tactic.

Tang Hao immediately fell back down after just gaining the upper hand.

His other teammates were finally able to search for ways to retreat under Fang Rui’s commands. The traps that the Doubtful Demon had buried started to reveal its might. The existence of traps was similar to the principle of a skill cooldown. As long as it was there and not set off, then it would be an excellent restriction and limitation. Fang Rui was able to see the awkwardness of Happy’s formation in regards to the traps: They didn’t bring their Cleric, so they definitely wouldn’t dare to use methods like clear them out forcibly with their characters.

Their tempo slowed down immediately, which met Fang Rui’s expectation. The players from Wind Howl slowly started to withdraw.

But their captain…

Demon Subduer was forcefully kept there.

Fang Rui was gloomy. Happy even used such a shameful method like abducting a hostage.

Should they return and launch a total fight with Happy with the help of traps?

It seemed that this was the only way!

The four made slight adjustments before advancing as a whole. This time, they kept a complete a formation.

Clang!

A Spike Trap suddenly flipped up from the ground and clamped onto the Knight’s ankle. It locked his foot, so he wasn’t able to move.

The Knight’s player looked at Fang Rui with astonishment.

Fang Rui didn’t know whether he should cry or laugh: “Are you stupid, is it even possible for it to be my trap?”

Traps couldn’t be triggered by allies, so there was no doubt that it had been placed there by Happy. Fang Rui knew Lord Grim’s unspecialized possessed three traps. However, Fang Rui wasn’t aware in the least about when this guy secretly planted his own trap among his.

However, there were only three traps, so the threat wouldn’t be too great. But the Spike Trap’s effect in sealing one’s movement was rather worrisome because their offense instantly became strangled.

After that, Fang Rui realized that Ye Xiu did something even more shameful.

He summoned a Goblin……

That’s right, compared to clearing the traps on one’s own, there was one method that was even more grievous for fellow Thieves. That was to… summon creatures to clear out the traps.

Unspecialized characters were too shameless.

Fang Rui wept as he commanded everyone to destroy the goblin as soon as possible. However, under the command Ye Xiu’s control, the goblin was abnormally nimble. It managed to step into three mines before it died a heroic death.

He can remember the location of my traps better than me, Fang Rui thought with a tear-streaked face. If he had these methods earlier on, why did he only just use it? Fang Rui now understood, in fact, he understood too well. It was in order to get an opportunity to kill Demon Subduer.

Although Tang Hao was strong, he still feared being grouped on. People like Fang Rui wanted to rescue him, but they needed a systematic approach in their rescue. Unfortunately, Ye Xiu’s hidden trap was able to detonate Fang Rui’s traps, which immediately messed up their plans. They could definitely continue to charge ahead, but if they did so, what difference would it be from the unplanned attacks they had launched previously? It would probably be oppressed by Happy in two or three moves again.

Happy wasn’t a jack of all trades team that they could forcefully take down by merely relying on their skills. Happy was a pro team, so they had their own strength.

“Cut across to the right!” Fang Rui called. His traps on that side were in good condition and could still be used.

Wind Howl’s players finally came over and met up with Tang Hao. The battle started once more. However, Fang Rui’s original tactical plans were cut into bits and pieces earlier on.

Retreat after rescuing Tang Hao!

Fang Rui already made up his mind. He was resolute in not fighting with Happy and going at their pace.

They wanted to retreat, but Happy wouldn’t allow it. The power of focusing a single target was extremely prominent. They charged towards Demon Subduer, refusing to give up until he died.

When had Tang Hao ever been this type of target? Fury burned in his heart.

Fang Rui didn’t understand. If they attacked forcefully like this, they could indeed take out Demon Subduer, but without a Cleric, they would also take a lot of damage. Even if it was a 4v5, it was very possible for Wind Howl to wear them down to death!

But considering the dungeon’s contents, they would still have to face competition with the other teams. Without their ace player Tang Hao, they couldn’t bear this trade!

However, the current situation didn’t leave them with any choice because Happy was the side attacking.

Either the fish dies or the net splits… Fang Rui couldn’t come up with any ideas. Tang Hao also seemed to have understood the situation, and that it was very possible for his character to die the earliest. However, he could also strive for the team’s victory. Due to his professional attitude, he wasn’t discouraged. In fact, he fought even fiercer than before. If he could exchange the team’s victory by sacrificing himself, then he would have fulfilled his responsibilities as the ace.

Demon Subduer finally fell. As Fang Rui had predicted, Team Happy had paid a great price for this kill.

Let’s see how you’ll keep going! Fang Rui thought.

He then heard Ye Xiu cry out: “F*ck, the shard wasn’t on him? Retreat!”

F*ck, that was their aim? Fang Rui felt like fainting…

Chapter 1111: Wind Howl Internal Strife

Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi

Just like this, Tang Hao became the first member of Team Wind Howl to get eliminated, but at this moment, Fang Rui didn’t have time to pay attention to Tang Hao’s expression. After understanding Team Happy’s intentions, a feeling of dizziness washed over him, making him almost fail to hold onto his own mouse.

If this were the competitive stage, Wind Howl might be down a member, but they had the overall advantage right now. Happy had sacrificed a lot of health to take down Demon Subduer. Let alone having no healer, even if Happy did have a healer, in a situation where every team member was at low health, it was very possible for the healing speed to not be able to keep up, resulting in the team being killed off one by one.

But the problem was that this wasn’t on the competitive stage.

As a result, Happy had previously been fighting in disregard for everything else, but now they were running away as fast as possible.

“Where are you running!” Zhao Yuzhe roared. How could he put up with Happy running away? Elementalists had powerful attacks and strong AoE skills, the bane of Happy, whose members were on the brink of death.

Their captain’s sacrifice couldn’t be wasted!

Zhao Yuzhe was quite confident. His Elementalist charged forward like a Battle Mage.

“Careful!” Fang Rui immediately warned.

He hadn’t seen what exactly Happy had set up, but since their intentions were so obvious, how could Happy not have made any arrangements for their escape? Let Wind Howl chase and kill them? If that was the case, it was no different from seeking their own deaths.

Fang Rui’s intention told him that Happy definitely had traps set up during their escape. Rashly chasing after them was dangerous.

But Zhao Yuzhe seemed to not be able to hear him. Even though Fang Rui was his senior in the team and had named a God for a long time, playing dirty was looked down upon by many. Zhao Yuzhe rather liked Tang Hao’s vigor with his “the junior succeeds the senior”. He didn’t admire Fang Rui’s dirty playing from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn’t dare disrespect his senior most of the time, his hot-bloodedness had consumed him. There were a bunch of nearly dead players in front of him, ripe for him to kill. It wasn’t hard to understand why he ignored Fang Rui’s warning.

Teleport!

Zhao Yuzhe was afraid of letting go of even a single player from Happy. He directly teleported into the enemy ranks in an attempt to kill all five of them at once. When he teleported, he had already activated Mobile Cast. His magic staff glowed with light, ready to release a spell.

Fang Rui saw Zhao Yuzhe’s audaciousness and was stupefied. The opponents were at low health, but they weren’t dead. For him to advance prematurely, did he really think these five were frightened dungeon monsters? Or did he think that his bold move would catch Happy off guard…

Okay, Fang Rui admitted. From a reverse psychology standpoint, such a stupid decision was truly surprising. He only hoped that everyone in Happy was too smart and think that it wasn’t possible for someone to be so stupid! Maybe because Zhao Yuzhe had done it so quickly, the other side wouldn’t be able to react in time?

He looked back. Beautiful Light 1 was already laying on the ground…

Fang Rui felt it was a pity that he couldn’t see the expressions on everyone in Happy. Were they surprised? Were they in admiration of Zhao Yuzhe’s boundless bravery? They didn’t seem to think twice though. After Beautiful Light was smacked to the ground, he was quickly smacked into the air. Then, Lord Grim and Soft Mist both used Falling Flower Palms, sending him back along with an artillery shell from Dancing Rain.

After all, no one in Happy had a lot of heath. They didn’t dare keep fighting. After sending away Beautiful Light, they borrowed his body as their first form of obstruction and then utilized long-ranged attacks to suppress them further. The team’s Knight wanted to rush forward and block the damage, but in the end, he was yelled at by Fang Rui.

“Why aren’t you all attacking!!!” Zhao Yuzhe’s Beautiful Light climbed up from the ground after being sent back and shouted thunderously. In this instant, his dissatisfaction towards Fang Rui had reached its peak.

“The other side has made preparations beforehand. They’re just waiting for us to fall into their trap.” Fang Rui said.

“How would you know if you don’t try!” Zhao Yuzhe yelled.

“Did you not just try?” Fang Rui asked back.

Zhao Yuzhe was suddenly at a loss for words. He had tried, but he really wanted to say that Happy’s way of dealing with him didn’t seem to be the result of careful preparation. But why did it turn out the way it did? Because he had been an idiot! In a moment of hot-bloodedness and impulse, he had made a move thinking he was invincible. The other side didn’t need any careful set ups to deal with him. The openings that he showed were too big so much so that they instantly swatted him away. However, Zhao Yuzhe was unwilling to admit that he was stupid to Fang Rui. He felt like if he had just been a bit faster, the ones lying on the ground would Happy.

“Hurry up and chase!” Zhao Yuzhe didn’t reply to Fang Rui’s retort. He just called over the other two members to give chase.

Without captain Tang Hao, there was a clear disagreement to how Wind Howl should fight. The Knight and Cleric weren’t entirely focused on the game. They stole a glance at Fang Rui and Zhao Yuzhe outside of the game. In the end, they didn’t move. Zhao Yuzhe’s was an important part of Wind Howl’s future, but Fang Rui was their team’s most experienced senior. In addition to Fang Rui’s status as vice-captain, the two didn’t move, implying that they recognized Fang Rui’s authority.

Zhao Yuzhe’s Beautiful Light rushed out, but discovered that the other two didn’t go with him. This time, he didn’t dare charge into Happy’s enemy ranks so simply. In the end, he could only have his Beautiful Light stop. Outside of the game, he glared fiercely at those two players. He didn’t dare be too brazen to Fang Rui, but he wasn’t scared of those two at all.

The entire practice room was deathly silent. There were only five players that could form a team to this Ghost Lair. The other five team members, who weren’t participating, hadn’t left. They also wanted to see what this Ghost Lair was all about. Instead, they got an internal conflict between their team’s players.

Most of the people there felt very uneasy, but a certain resolute person watched with interest at everything that was happening.

Liu Hao.

He gave up on Thunderclap and transferred to Wind Howl.

It hadn’t been long since he had joined the team. He didn’t impatiently jump into the team and instead carefully observed this new team. Because this time, he truly wanted a achieve something here unlike with Team Thunderclap. In his eyes, Thunderclap was nothing more than a stepping stone. That type of small team couldn’t contain this senior.

Speaking of which, Liu Hao felt like his strength was enough to replace Team Samsara’s Jiang Botao. Unfortunately, Samsara was clearly very satisfied with the synergy between Jiang Botao and Zhou Zekai. They had invited Liu Hao’s former teammate, Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf, but they definitely had no intentions of dropping Jiang Botao. In the end, Liu Hao was brought into Team Wind Howl. This rising team had performed outstandingly last season. Liu Hao was very satisfied and decided that he would do well here.

However, in Team Wind Howl, Tang Hao was their core. Zhao Yuzhe was the Best Rookie. His talent and growth would put him as a star in the future. Fang Rui was an All Star and their team’s most experienced member. The team couldn’t lack any healers, so of the five positions, only one spot remained.

Was this spot for Liu Hao?

From what he saw, he didn’t think that Wind Howl valued him that much. They didn’t seem to have determined that Liu Hao was the missing jigsaw piece. They were still searching for the most suitable combination. As for Liu Hao, as someone skilled and someone who free transferred, their thoughts were that they might as well sign him and test him out.

This type of attitude meant that they weren’t particularly fervent about signing Liu Hao. In fact, there were many other teams that were sincerely interested in him such as Team Miracle.

This team had took in three Excellent Era players. They had contacted Liu Hao too and gave him sincere promises. Core, team captain. They had prepared a generous offer and clearly laid it out to Liu Hao, but he rejected it without much thought.

Miracle? In Liu Hao’s eyes, more like joke*. They were a team that had just gotten into the Alliance, and they wanted him to play for them? He might as well have just stayed on Thunderclap then! Core? Team captain? You think I care about being the core or team captain of a team like that?

Liu Hao ignored their sincere offer. When Team Wind Howl expressed their interest towards him, he immediately accepted. This type of powerhouse with hopes of winning the championships was where he hoped to be!

Liu Hao. At the moment, he was just one of Team Wind Howl’s choices. Rather than saying that their sincerity moved Liu Hao, it was more like Liu Hao’s eagerness moved them to just sign him along in the passing.

The team didn’t need to offer any signing bonuses to a free player. The only requirement was to provide a salary. To be champions, no team would find it difficult to try out a player like that. As a result, Team Wind Howl moved quickly and immediately took Liu Hao as soon as the transfer window opened.

Wind Howl hoped that Liu Hao would bring change to the team. However, they didn’t have any clear plans at the moment. They were still studying Liu Hao, so Liu Hao could feel that he didn’t have a stable position in the team right now. As a result, he was careful. As someone who had once been a part of a powerhouse, he obviously knew how to find opportunities in the team.

And at this moment, a conflict had erupted in Team Wind Howl. Liu Hao observed it with interest.

Fang Rui.

Zhao Yuzhe.

It was a common conflict between a rookie and a senior. The rookie felt like the senior was blocking his path forward. The senior felt like the rookie was a threat to his position… This type of conflict didn’t appear only in pro teams. It happened all the time in all levels of society.

Right now, at Wind Howl, the conflict was fully out in the open. However, whether it was Fang Rui or Zhao Yuzhe, they weren’t the players with the most authority in the team! The direction that this conflict would move towards would depend on Team Wind Howl’s captain and core, Tang Hao.

Yes, Tang Hao. The Tang Hao who had become famous with his “junior succeeds the senior”. Liu Hao realized that the resolution to this conflict was very easy to predict.
