Chengdu AG Super Play Club Training Base.
"You said you'd challenge any one of the three: mid lane, jungle, or bottom lane. What's with challenging the top lane?"
Xuanran stared in disbelief at the official live stream.
Turning a bystander into a party involved? Is that even possible?
" Martial General, you can rest assured." Zhongyi patted Xuanran on the shoulder. "You're the most qualified to comment on eStar's Shiyue's top lane skill level. Even if Exalted Emperor's top lane is at Overlord level, he still absolutely cannot beat Shiyue!"
"After all the guessing, Exalted Emperor tricked everyone."
Sitting in the gaming chair, Yinuo raised an eyebrow slightly. "But that's fine too. Since Exalted Emperor has chosen to tackle this tough nut of Shiyue, let's see just how strong his teeth really are."
"Oh?"
Seeing that Shiyue had chosen Mulan, Xuanran scratched his head and said, " Shiyue 'Mulan is absolutely top-notch. Her technique and micro-management are both impeccable."
Zhongyi glanced at him and asked, " Martial General, are you confident you can defeat Mulan, who has Shiyue?"
"It's a 30/70 split," Xuanran said confidently. "If it's a mirror match in a one-on-one contest, I'm 70% confident I can suppress Shiyue's Mulan."
This is not an exaggeration, but the truth.
As the strongest sidelaner in AG's history, Xuanran has an extremely deep hero pool. Whether it's a tank or a warrior, he can play them with ease. His skillful maneuvers are something other sidelaner players can only dream of.
"Now it all depends on the heroes that Exalted Emperor will send out."
Yinuo, Zhongyi, Xuanran, and others watched the official live stream of the Overlord Feast with bated breath.
With a bang, the hero was locked on.
Everyone was stunned.
"Also Mulan?"
Douyin, Su Hang's live stream room.
The public chat was flooded with comments like a black tide, surging and turbulent.
"Holy crap! A mirror match?"
"Damn it, Mulan vs. Mulan!"
"I thought the Exalted Emperor would choose Charlotte, who counters Mulan, but he locked in Mulan instead!"
"Awesome, Kras! Our Exalted Emperor doesn't take advantage of others at all. With the same hero selection, it's all about skill and execution!"
"Unexpected yet reasonable, the revamped Mulan is one of the five great warriors of the side lane, and in the ancient seasons, she was the side lane hero with the highest skill ceiling besides Guan Yu."
"EStar's Shiyue is currently the best Mulan player in the country. Even Jierui exclaimed 'Exalted Emperor crap, this is cheating!' Mulan, you better watch out!"
Su Hang glanced at the live chat and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. Mulan is one of my most skilled heroes. To be honest, no one Mulan better than me!"
These words were like a thunderbolt.
The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar.
"Holy crap, streamer, aren't you afraid of getting attacked? Did you even ask Fly, the Mulan jinchūriki, for his opinion before saying that?"
Su Hang glanced at the chat, then asked while selecting his runes and equipment, "Are you playing Fly in the KPL League?"
"If it wasn't him, then who else could it be?"
"Excuse me."
Su Hang shrugged and said calmly, "My Mulan is actually a bit stronger than him."
The barrage of comments, amidst the fragrance of rice blossoms, speaks of a bountiful year, accompanied by a chorus of "Holy crap!"
"Then the brothers should really keep a close eye on things."
The game has entered the loading screen.
Shiyue Mulan [ Radiance of the Nine Heavens ] ( Flash )
VS
Exalted Emperor Mulan [ Crystal Dragon Hunter ] ( Flash ).
"Welcome to Honor of Kings! The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds. Get ready, all troops, attack!"
With the familiar opening remarks, the game officially began.
Su Hang upgraded his second skill, bought an iron sword, and headed towards the top lane while checking the opponent's stats on the hero's attribute panel.
"The inscription is the same as the one I'm wearing, with full penetration."
In a 1v1 duel, early-game rune bonuses are crucial.
Su Hang couldn't help but sigh at the ancient seasons. Now, there's no need to save up runes, and there are even limited-time trials of level 5 rune packs. Unlike before, when it would take half a year to save up a set of level 5 runes.
Some special inscriptions require Silver money to purchase.
"Let me see where your limits are?"
Arriving at the first tower on the top lane, Su Hang looked at the approaching [ Radiance of the Nine Heavens ] Mulan and carefully observed her movement details.
"It is indeed of national top-tier quality."
Su Hang muttered to himself, "But compared to Fly Mulan, she's still a long way off."
Knowing everything clearly, Mulan Shiyue her vow.
Su Hang cleared the starting line step by step.
Shiyue had no intention of fighting, and simply followed the rules to clear the line.
The atmosphere on the road was peaceful, but some spectators began to murmur amongst themselves.
Why isn't the Exalted Emperor attacking the Shiyue?
"Shouldn't the first encounter in the top lane be a fight to the death? What's with everyone clearing their own lanes at the start?"
"It feels like a performance."
At this moment, Mulan's ancestor [ Jierui ] appears, showering everyone with generous gifts and answering their questions.
"Before reaching level four, Mulan has no room for maneuver. Her only options are to use the 2-1-1 combo to silence the opponent. If you engage in a fight at the start, it will inevitably result in mutual destruction. It's better to wait until level four to have a proper showdown!"
The viewers in the live stream suddenly realized what was going on.
As Jierui explained.
Su Hang and Shiyue shared the same thoughts.
However, Su Hang was a bit more radical and reckless.
At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the level 4 minion waves converge.
Su Hang Mulan raised her sword to clear the minion wave, dragging the view with three fingers to lock onto Shiyue Mulan, who was also clearing the wave.
"Three kills or one turret will decide the outcome, right?"
"Let's get the first kill!"
As he took down the last backline minion, Su Hang's Mulan leveled up to level four. His palm veins bulged, and he flashed twice in quick succession, rushing towards Shiyue Mulan like a red streak of light.
Shiyue 'Mulan reaction was noticeably slower, by 1 millisecond.
In that mere 1 millisecond, Su Hang's Mulan silenced him instantly!
"Dragon hunting, dragon training, and dragon taming!"
Su Hang Mulan immediately switched to her heavy sword form, slashing out fiercely with her fiery red greatsword. She then swiftly followed up with her first skill, the heavy sword phase, striking without charging, and then slashing again with her heavy sword.
The second skill of the heavy sword can be used to push and break instantly, followed immediately by the uncharged first skill of the heavy sword in its second stage, and a fierce slash!
Light Sword 21 Flash a3 Heavy Sword a121a!
This is Mulan's advanced combo, maximizing early-game damage and boasting a highly visually appealing [ Thirteen Slashes ]!
The Shiyue Mulan is like a training camp puppet, controlled and unable to unleash any skills, only able to watch helplessly as her health rapidly decreases until it reaches zero.
" Mulan defeats Mulan."
"First Blood!"
The public chat went blank for a moment.
Within seconds, a deluge of black text appeared.
"Holy crap! Thirteen Slashes in two seconds?"
"Dude, isn't this right? A single set to control the Shiyue to death!"
"Damn it, why? I clearly saw Shiyue use Mulan second skill too, how come she's slower than Exalted Emperor?"
A large gift effect appeared in the public chat, clearly a gift from Jierui on Douyin ), with the comment: Holy crap! Exalted Emperor, you weren't using Thirteen Slashes in two seconds, were you?
