The viewers in the live stream were absolutely stunned.
"Holy crap! He took two ultimate attacks and not only survived, but he also managed to kill two people?"
"Terrifying indeed! You're still Kai, Kai! This attack reminds me of Kai at his peak with his 10,000-burst power!"
"Outrageous! Kai's ultimate skill does provide high damage reduction, but it can't be this ridiculously high, right? Sun Quan's ultimate skill and Musashi's ultimate skill didn't take down Kai immediately?"
"Brother, let me tell you why! Exalted Emperor's grandma instantly switched to Boots of Dexterity, which drastically increased his physical defense, allowing him to survive."
"Damn, the instant switch to Boots of Dexterity is amazing! They're so incredibly detailed. When I play Kai, I'm like I've lost my mind when I use my ultimate, I just hack and slash at anything I can get my hands on, I don't pay any attention to the details at all."
"While Kai's father is terrifying, Exalted Emperor is even more terrifying!"
" Shejun, what happened to you? How did you get killed by Exalted Emperor with just two blows?"
Inside the police station's reception room, Jiang Shu's face alternated between pale and flushed as she hoarsely said, "I thought that by joining forces with Musashi, we could take him down, but who would have thought he would instantly switch to Boots of Dexterity and launch a last-minute counterattack!"
"I still greatly underestimated Exalted Emperor."
"A mistake is a mistake," Yuejing said irritably. "Don't brag and exaggerate Exalted Emperor's skills. You're supposed to be the Strongest Uncrowned King of our Imperial Crown, so at least show us some amazing plays."
"I see."
Jiang Shu calmed himself down and said, "Once I have my four divine items and reach level twelve, killing Exalted Emperor Kai will be a piece of cake."
"I'll help you hold off Exalted Emperor in the early to mid-game."
Yuejing also understands Sun Quan's power spike; unless this hero can develop to the late game, he's useless.
"OK."
Jiang Shu locked onto Exalted Emperor Kai in the mid lane, his voice hoarse, " Exalted Emperor, you'd better pray the game ends in the mid-game, otherwise your disastrous performance is a foregone conclusion."
Jiangcheng, Huating Residential Complex.
Xu Lin, watching Su Hang's live stream from her bedside, looked extremely solemn. Back then, Su Hang from Chonghuang had Exalted Emperor in ranked matches, resulting in a disastrous 3-55 record. At the time, she only thought it was a problem with the hero lineup.
Now, watching the Su Hang game up close in person, I discovered that things are probably not so simple.
Is it Flow State?
Xu Lin carefully analyzed Su Hang's mental state. The focus he exuded from within could be felt from a distance, just like Flow State.
Can.
"I saw a viewer in the live stream asking what items Kai should build in the current version. My answer is a semi-tank build: red jungle item, Boots of Resistance, Black Cleaver, Spikemail, and Trinity Force. If the enemy team has a lot of Witch's Cloak damage, build Athena's Unholy Zongshi; if they have less magic damage, build Dawnlight."
"Not in Flow State."
Xu Lin rejected the conjecture, saying that Flow State requires a high degree of mental concentration while playing a game, oblivious to everything else. How could someone like Su Hang be able to play a game and answer audience questions at the same time?
"But what's with this extraordinary level of focus?"
Xu Lin was completely confused and wondered to herself. After answering the audience's questions, Su Hang instantly focused on the game, seemingly entering Flow State, but only a few seconds later...
"I saw someone in the live stream asking which hero counters Kai. My answer is Lam, because Lam's backstab has a 100% critical hit rate, and her ultimate allows her to become invisible and avoid damage, so she can counter Kai."
What exactly happened?
Xu Lin was shocked. She knew that once the Flow State was interrupted, it would take a lot of time to get back into it. How could Su Hang have entered the Flow State so quickly after answering the audience's questions?
"Could it be that his normal gaming state is comparable to the Flow State of players of the same level?"
A bold guess formed in Xu Lin's mind: this was a terrifying thing—was the limit for players of equal skill merely Su Hang's starting point?
" King-Titled Player's initial value is 2, and if we calculate based on the average increase of 2 times Flow State, that's 4."
" The Exalted Emperor's self-destruction state can boost his Flow State by 4 times; it should originally be 8, but his initial value is the limit of 4 for players of the same level."
"That's actually --[16]!"
Xu Lin's pupils dilated; what an incredible concept 16 is!
Keep in mind that even though he is the Strongest Uncrowned Emperor the Imperial Crown, his initial value is 3. Even when he enters the Flow State and his true level increases by 5 times, it is still only 15!
Exalted Emperor is 1 level higher than him?
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Lin's forehead, her shoulders trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with shock. But Su Hang's pseudo- Flow State of advancing and retreating at will could not be explained by any other reasonable explanation!
"If my guesses are all correct, doesn't that mean Yuejing and Shejun will lose?"
The game has been going on for 3 minutes.
"Initiate the attack!"
Su Hang gave a signal, maneuvering Kai to the top lane confrontation lane.
At that moment, Sun Ce, an ally, and Sikong Zhen, an enemy, were locked in a tug-of-war. When they saw their team's star player, Kai, coming to their aid, Sun Ce immediately activated his ultimate skill to ram into Sikong Zhen. However, Sikong Zhen his agile first skill to successfully dodge the attack.
"Oh my god! Sorry, Exalted Emperor, this is my fault."
Sun Ce sighed with regret. If he had run into Sikong Zhen, he could have definitely cooperated with Exalted Emperor Chong to take his head.
"It's alright, I'll help you catch Sikong Zhen next time."
Sun Ce was filled with regret, "That's all we can do."
Su Hang leeched a wave of minions, then turned and went to Teleport Teleport circle. He locked onto the mid-lane tower and entered Teleport mode.
Suddenly, Boss Sikong Zhen appeared from the bushes on the top lane, using his second skill, Thunder Orb, to interrupt Su Hang's Teleport!
"I was about to let you go, but you insisted on interrupting my Teleport. Sigh, I really can't do anything with you, Sikong Zhen."
Su Hang raised his right arm, and instantly azure armor covered his entire body. The longsword in his hand suddenly grew into a forty-meter-long cleaver, and he slashed down fiercely. "You've got power and Frenzy, do you even dare to hit me?"
Sikong Zhen, who had taken a hit, was somewhat dumbfounded. He never expected that Exalted Emperor Kai would be so sensitive. He had only interrupted Chonghuang Kai's Teleport, but Chonghuang Kai had actually launched a counterattack!
"I am the universe!"
Disregarding everything else, Sikong Zhen activated his ultimate move and Frenzy, summoning lightning to slowly ascend into the sky. His white hair stood on end, and massive red lightning surged around his body, revealing him to be the fully-formed Frenzy Thunder King!
However
The next second.
Exalted Emperor Kai swung his greatsword and smashed down, causing Sikong Zhen, who was halfway into the air, to lose all his health and crash instantly!
"Holy crap?"
Sun Ce, who had just received reinforcements, was stunned. That was Sikong Zhen at full health, unleashing his ultimate and Frenzy! Kai had killed him in just two strikes?
"Boss Exalted Emperor, your damage is terrifying."
"So-so."
Su Hang re-entered the Teleport array, locked onto his own mid-lane tower, and had just Teleport halfway when a scream suddenly came from the team's voice chat.
"Don't Teleport to mid lane, Exalted Emperor! The enemy Wan'er is waiting for you!"
But... it was too late.
Su Hang Teleport to the mid-lane tower.
"Fourth Uncle, bring me a cigarette!"
The enemy's Yuejing Wan'er, stepping on ink droplets from a calligraphy brush, flew close to the ground and over the tower. The mere collision damage from the ink droplets reduced Su Hang to half health.
The viewers in the live stream were on tenterhooks, because Exalted Emperor Kai's ultimate skill was on cooldown. Without the damage reduction from his ultimate skill, there was absolutely no way he could withstand the damage from Wan'er's five-stage flying attack!
This wave seems... really going to be a disaster.
" Bronze says I'm dead, Supreme Star says I can run." Su Hang ran in the opposite direction towards the outside of the tower, his health plummeting, already at the Execute threshold. "But King of Glory says—"
