The Person Who Once Got the Better of Imperial Emperor During Honor of Kings' Closed Beta!
"Open!"
Xiaopang Erlang roared to the sky, his body growing a hundredfold, transforming into a towering giant.
"Holy crap?"
Xiaopang was struck dumb, his face blank as he watched the culprit, Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li, Xiaosa depart, his shoulders trembling violently.
After painstakingly accumulating the passive effect of "Dharma Heaven and Earth," it was triggered by Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li's effortless umbrella-spinning second skill. This feeling was as unpleasant as swallowing a dead child!
" Exalted Emperor, you immortal!"
Xiaopang was incredibly frustrated. Without the Dharma Heaven and Earth Transformation," he had no way to help the mid-laner catch Feng Yang Yuhuan. He could only let her go and expand the laning advantage across all three lanes.
"Don't panic, I can solo kill the top laner."
Suddenly, Fly's steady voice rang in my ears.
"Solo kill?"
Xiaopang Fatty froze, then pulled three fingers to lock onto the minimap of the top lane, only to see Fly 'Mulan, who had respawned, scrambling towards the intersection of the minion waves.
" Brother Niu, can you solo kill the enemy Mountain Lord?"
Xiaopang was skeptical. After all, Fly had just been solo-killed by the Mountain Lord. How could he possibly manage a solo kill against the Mountain Lord Guan Yu, who had an economic advantage?
"I've figured out the Mountain Lord's fighting style and tactics." Fly's eyes gleamed with confidence, his arrogance fully revealed. "Just watch, within a minute, I'll definitely behead the Mountain Lord!"
The Sovereign Dominion Team's competition area.
"It seems Fly made a breakthrough on the spot." Su Hang's eyes flashed with amazement. In the previous battle on the top lane, the result was indeed that Mountain Lord won, but in terms of the process of the game, Fly won by a small margin.
Hu Xiao's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and he said with lingering fear, "Damn it, that was really dangerous! If my Guan Yu hadn't brought Flash, I would have definitely been solo-killed by that enemy Feiniu!"
Su Hang said in a deep voice, " Deputy Hu, has your technique declined compared to before?"
"Brother Su, that's a harsh word." Hu Xiao wiped his forehead and laughed awkwardly, "I'm 28 years old this year, a parent now, and I'm no longer the invincible top lane god I was at 18."
Su Hang felt a slight tremor in his heart. He remembered that ten years ago, Mountain Lord was his greatest rival. Every time they sparred in private, he had to go all out and even unleash his potential in order to defeat him by a narrow margin.
Now, Mountain Lord's competitive form has visibly declined. Just like his battle with Fly Mulan just now, if it were Mountain Lord ten years ago, he could have easily defeated him in a one-on-one fight without breaking a sweat.
Hu Xiao Roar cracked his knuckles, regaining his strength, and said, "But damn it, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how much my condition declines, I'm not so weak that I can't take down a Supreme King Title."
Su Hang simply smiled and let it go.
He knew very well that Hu Xiao's words were half true and half false. Fly's current gaming skills were almost on par with Mountain Lord's ten years ago, and dealing with him would not be an easy task.
" The Mountain Lord is getting old."
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed deep in Su Hang's eyes. Nine years ago, when the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord left the team and declared his revenge.
He then focused on honing his gaming skills and improving his King of Glory- level performance, all so that one day, when the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord returned, he could defeat the three of them and bring them back to the Imperial Crown's embrace.
Right now, Mountain Lord is sitting right next to him, still fighting alongside him as the Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion. The reunion of old friends should have been a joyous occasion.
But he couldn't be happy at all. First, he had mixed feelings and didn't know how to face the Mountain Lord. Second, and most importantly, he was frustrated and disappointed.
He had considered that the Mountain Lord might become stronger, and even thought that the Mountain Lord's level in the top lane might surpass his, but he had forgotten the power of time.
Just as Mountain Lord Jun said, he is 28 years old and quite old, no longer the invincible wing warrior he was at 18.
" The Silver Dragon and Phoenix are about my age, or if they're older, not by much. Their competitive form should still be at its peak!"
Su Hang pinned his hopes on the Silver Dragon Phoenix.
There are many reasons that have sustained his focus on King of Glory for ten years, but the most important reason is that there were four players who were either evenly matched or slightly better than him, waiting for him to rematch them!
And among these [four players].
Former Imperial Crown Vice-Captain Yin Tiger, now the captain of Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest, and Champion Emperor player Mountain Lord have been eliminated and are no longer a threat.
Only the Silver Dragon Phoenix remained.
There was also the guy who, in October 2015, during the closed beta of Honor of Kings, had a 9-9 record against him. In the 19th decisive match, before a winner was decided, he quietly went offline and disappeared for nearly ten years.
"Don't let me down."
The front row of the spectator stands for the participating teams.
"Great! Brother Exalted Emperor, just like that, you brutally Yaodao Lady Sun! Damn it, you're a top laner comparable to Imperial Emperor in the top lane, Yaodao is nothing! Take him down!"
Huahai was filled with excitement. Unlike the other spectators who were focused on Champion Emperor Mountain Lord, he kept his eyes glued to Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li, watching him dive the tower for the third time to kill Yaodao, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of passion.
"Why not aim for the title of Farm Lane King as well? Then, as a player in the development lane, I'll be Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor the first Farm Lane Emperor in the history of King of Glory of Glory!"
Qingrong, standing nearby, sighed. Although she didn't have any particular feelings about Exalted Emperor, she had to admit that the opponent's development lane skill was absolutely unmatched in the King of Glory scene. Even Imperial Crown · Jueying couldn't compete with him!
"Currently, Imperial Emperor's top lane and Exalted Emperor's bottom lane are unique in the entire King of Glory community." [ Peacock ] didn't forget to praise their Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes captain, "However, our Mother Huang's mid lane skill is also exceptionally high."
I support myself with both hands and feet.
Qingrong gave a thumbs up, wholeheartedly agreeing. Any player who praised their Mother Huang could become a good friend.
Huahai crossed his arms and said proudly, "Don't compare my brother Exalted Emperor with Imperial Emperor and your captain Phoenix. They all suffered setbacks when they first started out, but my brother Exalted Emperor has never suffered a setback."
Qingrong instantly turned ugly.
But they couldn't find a single word to refute it: their captain, Phoenix, had suffered a setback under Imperial Emperor, and Imperial Emperor had also suffered a setback during the closed beta.
" The Imperial Emperor... has he ever suffered a setback?"
The Peacock exclaimed in surprise, "How come I didn't know?"
Huahai raised an eyebrow and asked, "When did you start playing Honor of Kings?"
The Peacock pondered for a moment and said, "It should be 2017."
Huahai smiled and said, "Then you probably don't know that Imperial Emperor suffered a setback during the closed beta of Honor of Kings, around 2015. Only a very small number of veteran players know about this."
"How exactly did you get thrashed?" Peacock asked suspiciously. "Could it be like those Douyin where someone manages to solo kill Imperial Emperor Cai Wenji once, and then posts 999 videos in a row to show that their gaming skills are better than the Imperial Emperor's?"
"No, that's not it." Huahai stroked his chin, recalling for a moment, "I remember that back then, Imperial Emperor and the other side wagered their respective teams on eighteen one-on-one matches, with a record of nine wins and nine losses."
"Ah?"
Peacock stared wide-eyed, hardly believing his ears. To win nine games against the Imperial Emperor was no ordinary feat; it was enough to make the Imperial Emperor suffer a humiliation.
Just then...
Suddenly, a huge, exclamation erupted throughout the venue.
Huahai, Qingrong, Peacock Que looked in the direction of the sound.
I froze on the spot!
"Solo kill?"
