"Interactive Flow State?"
The last row of spectator seats in the stadium.
Wearing sunglasses, [ Lin Ying ]'s eyes flashed with shock. He hadn't expected that Mountain Lord would be forced into a Flow State" by Fly. "Taking time off to come to Hainan to watch the Clash of Kings offline was definitely worth it!"
What was initially thought to be an ordinary championship match turned into a surprise when Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, Hu, revealed Mountain Lord's identity midway through. Even more unexpectedly, Mountain Lord was solo-killed by Fly.
"You can tell that Mountain Lord and Fly are in Flow State; this young man is quite skilled at the game," the man in the white hat on the left exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Ying turned her head to look and was instantly stunned.
"Mr. Hu?"
"You know me?" the man in the white hat asked, puzzled.
"It's me, Lin Ying from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School." Lin Ying quickly took off her sunglasses, beaming with delight. "I even went to your Lanzhou noodle shop with some friends a while ago."
"Oh my god, look at my brain!" [ Hu Yang ] exclaimed with a mix of surprise and delight. "What a coincidence, Little Ying, how did we end up meeting here?"
"What a coincidence, Mr. Hu." Lin Ying grasped Hu Yang's hands, her eyes welling with tears as if she were a fellow countryman meeting someone from the same hometown. "No wonder your noodle shop was closed for three days; you came to Hainan, Sanya, to watch the Clash of Kings."
Hu Yang chuckled and said, "I don't like Honor of Kings, do I? Whether it's [ Overlord Feast ], [ Clash of Kings ], or [ Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ], as long as the shop isn't busy, I'll basically make time to watch the matches offline."
Lin Ying suddenly realized.
"Student Lin?"
A surprised male voice suddenly rang out from the right.
Lin Ying turned her head and saw a man wearing a mask.
Who are you...?
"The owner of that reptile shop near your school." [ Xu Lin ] took off her mask, her eyes flashing with surprise, "I thought you looked familiar, and now that you've taken off your sunglasses, it really is you!"
"My God, Mr. Xu?" Lin Ying's eyes widened in shock. Every student at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School knew Xu Lin, after all, his reptile shop had been located next to the school for many years.
"Boss Hu, this is Boss Xu, just like us, she's from Jiangcheng..." Lin Ying quickly introduced Xu Lin to Hu Yang.
I thought Xu Lin and Hu Yang would be reserved and awkward because they were strangers.
Unexpectedly, after a few polite greetings, the two found themselves having a very pleasant conversation.
Most importantly, the two of them talked about nothing but Honor of Kings, and Lin Ying not only understood what they were saying, but was also able to join in the conversation.
"Actually, I think that although the current e-sports scene seems to be multipolar, with Twilight of the Gods, Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes and Embroidered Robe, Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest, it's actually one superpower and many strong teams. Imperial Crown unilaterally dominates the e-sports scene!"
"Holy crap! Little Ying is absolutely right. The Imperial Crown Team is undoubtedly the strongest team, especially its three Uncrowned Emperor, who are no weaker than the Three Champion Emperors!"
"Brother Hu is absolutely right. Any veteran player knows that if the Imperial Crown hadn't prohibited participation in the [ Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ], the Three Champion Emperors would have been replaced long ago by the three Uncrowned Emperor of the Imperial Crown!"
Lin Ying, Xu Lin, Hu Yang chatted more and more enthusiastically, looking like they had known each other for a long time. If it weren't for the sudden cheers from the audience, the three of them would have sworn brotherhood like the Three Sworn Brothers of the Peach Garden, regardless of whether they were born on the same day, month, or year!
" Sovereign Dominion pushed to the high ground; they're poised to win." Lin Ying looked up at the live stream screen.
But then Sovereign Dominion, along with Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li, Liuli Shao Siyuan, Feng Yang Yuhuan, and Long Lan, destroyed the development lane high ground of the team that was protecting the title. At that time, the game had only been going on for eight minutes.
" Mountain Lord and Fly are still locked in a battle on the top lane, it's been going on for four minutes already," Xu Lin couldn't help but complain. "Our base is about to fall, and they're still not back at the crystal base to help their teammates defend it."
"They've both entered Flow State, all to determine the victor!" Hu Yang said, arms crossed, his eyes deep. "After all, they each killed the other once in the early stages, which is considered a draw. Only by killing each other again can a winner be decided!"
Lin Ying asked with interest, "So, Mr. Hu, who do you think will win?"
Hu Yang casually remarked, "Although Mountain Lord's actual skill level has declined significantly, even in Flow State he can only barely hold his own against Fly, who is also in Flow mode, he will definitely win."
"Why?"
The Hu Yang held up one finger and said, word by word, "Because the Mountain Lord was once the Vice Captain of the Imperial Crown, that alone is enough!"
Lin Ying and Xu Lin's hearts trembled violently.
That's absolutely true; none of the players who emerge from the Imperial Crown are cowards!
"Are you coming back or not?"
"We want it back!"
"They held on! They held on! Baocheng's team fought tooth and nail to clear the high ground minion wave!" In the commentary booth, Li Jiu, sweating profusely, exclaimed with relief, "At least until 10 minutes ago, Sovereign Dominion couldn't push down the enemy base in one wave."
"Is it a coincidence, or a tacit agreement?" Pingzi exclaimed in astonishment, "After four minutes, neither team paid any attention to the top lane, and Mountain Lord and Fly battled it out for a full five minutes."
"This should be the longest confrontation in the history of the Clash of Kings, and the outcome is still undecided!"
"But time is running out for Fly," Gemini said nervously, clenching his fist. "Under the leadership of Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li, Sovereign Dominion has taken control of the second Tyrant and is organizing a third, all-out attack to wipe them out!"
"The team can only hold out for a maximum of 10 minutes. If Fly's duel with Mountain Lord doesn't yield a result in the next 60 seconds, he must return to base to help defend, otherwise this game will undoubtedly be lost!"
Gemini's heart was in his throat. As Fly's former coach, he knew very well that Fly no longer cared about winning or losing the game, but was willing to risk all his past honors and achievements to go all in on the game against the Mountain Lord!
However.
Xiaopang Yaodao and his gang were utterly defeated by Exalted Emperor's forces.
Having repelled Sovereign Dominion's all-out attack twice in a row, they were already at their limit and exhausted. No matter what, they could not withstand Sovereign Dominion's third all-out attack at the 10-minute mark!
Therefore, Fly must decide the winner with the Mountain Lord in the final 60 seconds!
Tens of thousands of spectators were on edge.
"Holy crap! Guys, I can't watch anymore! I secretly hope Mountain Lord wins, but I also don't want to see Feiniu lose!"
"Being able to compete with Tiger Emperor Mountain Lord for so long, I have to admit that Fly's gaming skills are comparable to those of Champion Emperor player."
"The pressure on Mountain Lord is no less than that on Fly. If he loses, he will definitely be ridiculed by the entire King of King of Glory community. The mighty Emperor of the Clash Lane is just a paper tiger with a strong exterior but a weak interior?"
Time ticked by, second by second.
The time quickly reached 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li led the entire team to break through the central high ground of the Baocheng team. Despite the fierce resistance, all their struggles were in vain in the face of absolute economic superiority.
9 minutes and 50 seconds.
Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li secured a quadra kill, nearly wiping out the enemy team. A new wave of super minions was on its way, and they only needed to wait a dozen seconds to push down the enemy crystal in one fell swoop!
"The top laner has made a move!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and the live stream camera quickly switched to the top lane.
Mountain Lord, the Mountain Guan Yu, and Mulan, charged towards each other, their swords clashing head-on!
The final battle is about to begin!
