LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 358 Dare to let it go, dare to get a pentakill! "Dance of the Falcon"! A champion skin engraved with the player's ID!
October 1, 2023, Hangzhou Beijing Ecological Park E-sports Center venue.

As the most watched of the seven e-sports events at the Hangzhou Asian Games, and undoubtedly the king of viewership, the finals were specially scheduled to be held as the first event on the first day of the National Day holiday.

Perhaps it was also due to the "correctness" of the final match between the two sides.

Even the stage design of the venue has undergone significant changes specifically for this final.

Suddenly, a special pattern lit up the colored screen, with flowing light trails embedded in the flaky pastry texture, and osmanthus flower projections around the edges falling onto the glass partition, transforming the entire circular main stage into a "golden mooncake"!
At the same time, the opening song "Wishing We Last Forever," a classic Mid-Autumn Festival song sung by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng, began to play.

The melody, symbolizing "reunion," complements the five-star red flag displayed in the stands, making it all the more meaningful.

The packed stadium was almost entirely filled with Chinese faces, and everyone was all smiles—feeling that the gold medal was already in their grasp, and that reaching the finals was already a huge success!

And look at the words "China" VS "Chinese Taipei" at the top.

Those who orchestrated all of this, both backstage and in front of the screen, wore satisfied expressions.

Previously, live streams were restricted to specific official apps, but now broadcasting rights have been opened up to everyone!
This moment was truly the focus of everyone's attention.

The number of viewers for online live streams is growing rapidly and relentlessly, with viewership ratings far surpassing those of most other traditional sports events that are currently underway.

A male CCTV host took to the stage.

"After five days of competition, there are now two teams remaining in the League of Legends finals!"

"First of all, let's welcome the Chinese team to the stage!"

The stadium lights focused on the stage entrance, and each person's appearance drew cheers from the crowd.

The moment Ye Bo stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted in a frenzy of noise. The combined roar from both sides was terrifying, and countless palm-sized red flags fluttered in the wind.

Ye Bo, still carrying the bright red flag, stood in the center of the stage, enjoying the most solemn welcome ceremony of the entire event.

He saw familiar faces sitting in the front row of the audience, including his parents, former and current teammates, and a host of acquaintances from the e-sports circle, cheering him on. His face was filled with genuine pride and joy.

He successfully brought the five-star red flag to the center of the Hangzhou Asian Games venue!
The host was clearly a bit taken aback by the spectacle, and after a slight pause, he drew out his words: "Next, please welcome the Chinese Taipei team!"

One by one, familiar faces, almost all of them players from the Taipei team in the LPL, took to the stage, receiving a unified cheer from the audience below.

"I now declare the League of Legends finals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games officially open!"

The two players took their seats.

In contrast to the relaxed and natural demeanor of the Chinese team, the Taipei team on the other side appeared rather serious.

Especially Coach Zhanma, perhaps because the Asian Games journey has been too smooth, he has misjudged his team's strength. Right now, all he can think about is the impact of winning against the opponent, even if it's just one game.

Therefore, he made a "brilliant move" comparable to JackeyLove stealing Draven.
"Is the red team going to use the 'Stealth of the Wild'?"

Wang Duoduo, who was analyzing the draft picks just a second ago, suddenly realized that the fixed figure that seemed to be embedded in the draft position was not there, and his eyes widened immediately.

"Could it be that the first surprise of this final match will be Ye Bo's unexpected brilliance!?"

"I remember the last time I saw Master Ye's Akali, the championship skin hadn't even been released yet! We haven't even seen the real Master Ye use a championship skin!"

The already incredibly heated barrage of comments exploded instantly.

[Holy crap, they put Akali in?! Is this for the New Year?!?!]

[It's true! The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can meet once a year, but my Master Ye and Akali almost never see each other!]

[GALA: Holy crap, Akali's here! Akali's here! I'm not kidding you guys! She's really coming this time!!]

[Don't worry, my good buddies, I'll definitely leave you with a decent corpse today. I guarantee you won't break the 1550 record!]

【还在1550还在1550还在1550，这两天我走到哪哪都是1550，看得我都快认不清1550这个数字了，你们说对不对啊1550】

Is it possible that if Master Ye hadn't chosen them, it would prove that all the teams banned for the previous year were clowns?

Say something.

Warhorse really has his own understanding of this move.

On one hand, in the 13.9 MSI version, Akali, as an assassin, is not considered strong. Whether then or now, only V5 has banned her.

Importantly, Ye Bo hasn't picked Akali in a very, very long time!

Meanwhile, a thought was also vaguely forming in the warhorse's mind.
Is it possible that Akali is actually just a fear "imagined" by all the teams, simply a matter of "respect"?

Maybe they don't even play it!

To put it another way, the blue side already had a significant advantage in the first game's ban/pick phase, leaving the red side with insufficient bans, making it even more difficult for them to win the first game.

At worst, we can just burn the body of a hero.

As expected, the Chinese team locked their avatars almost instantly.

The camera panned to the players' seats, where Ye Bo could be seen with a clearly surprised expression, looking unusually flustered.

And soon.

The truth has finally come out for everyone.

The effort put into those hundreds of bans over the course of a year was not in vain.

Despite the jungler Karsa and support Snake frequently roaming to the mid lane, mid laner FOFO also picked Azir and played cautiously, only farming minions from the back.

But you can reach level 6.

It's like the movie "It's High Noon".

Surrounded by a bluish mist, Akali feigned to move forward, her toes barely off the ground resembling the footless flight of a serpent, her movements even more ghostly than those of an ordinary assassin.

The moment the Tsar turned halfway around, he suddenly unleashed his ultimate move, [Inner and Outer Kill Chaos], leaping forward to strike!
As he somersaulted forward, he left a trail of bluish-purple afterimages, with the phantom of the Teng Snake encircling him like a protective divine beast.

Fortunately, FOFO was even more nervous than during the "Battle of Sin" in the Summer Split. Under such intense pressure, he almost instantly and in the opposite direction unleashed his ultimate move, [Forbidden Army Wall]!
But the next moment.

The ethereal blue skirt swayed with her breath, Akali lifted her legs slightly, and a pair of small blue wings unfurled behind her as she flipped backward—at an extremely bizarre 90° angle, she narrowly slid past the edge of the Imperial Guard's sand soldiers' shields to dodge!

It's like dancing a "Dance of the Falcon"!
At the same time, a dark-colored falcon-shaped weapon, silently concealed behind his crotch, shot out, piercing through the morning mist and striking straight at the Tsar's vital point!

FOFO was so shocked that he trembled and quickly used Flash to try to escape into the tower.

Beneath the thin black veil hanging over her forehead, a chilling glint flashed in her misty crimson eyes.

The next moment, the bare ankle stomped down from the air with the force of the surging movement, and the straightened calf was still wrapped with a few wisps of light blue snake-shaped energy, turning in the air to track the Tsar's flashing figure!
Even the lasers from the pursuing defense towers "turned" in mid-air!
Just as he was about to kill him, a seemingly rough kick slammed into the Tsar's back and heart!

Then, with a casual and leisurely R2 thrust outside the tower, it was as if he had done something insignificant.

"Single-target kill!!!"

Overjoyed, Wang Duoduo was completely fired up: "Despite the Taipei team's slight disadvantage in the early laning phase with the jungle and bottom lanes, they still managed to secure a solo kill in the mid lane at five and a half minutes! Akali didn't even have to use Flash!"

"Incredible skill! This is Master Ye's Akali! This is the championship skin Akali with his ID engraved on it!!"

"The Tsar is going to be completely destroyed in lane!"

The person next to him, Gugu, had a rather strange observation: "In previous matches, everyone seemed to prefer using the Prestige Edition [Candle Dragon] skin, but after seeing Master Ye use it today, I suddenly feel that the basic [Tengshe] skin looks better."

Wang Duoduo joked, "Master Ye is here to promote the products. It looks like the basic models are going to sell out after today. This is Master Ye's premium selection!" Everyone on the Taipei team knew they couldn't win in the mid lane.

But I never expected it to collapse so quickly!

And this is clearly just the beginning.

To be fair, the gap in strength between the Taipei team and the CN team is quite obvious. Even without Akali, it's hard to say that they have any fighting power.

Not to mention, Akali really does seem to have some kind of "magic".

Materialistically speaking, whenever the Taipei team sees Akali on the field, almost everyone involuntarily becomes "cowardly," or rather, feels a little hesitant to "operate," causing some team fights that could have been won to become impossible.

From a purely subjective perspective: the group just had this inexplicable feeling that the person on the other side suddenly became incredibly skilled, or rather, even more terrifying, when playing Akali.
"They fought back! The three who tried to capture them were actually killed!"

"Master Ip is going on a killing spree!!!"

Akali treated Summoner's Rift like a playground, assassinating and slaughtering everyone around her, making everyone else's light pale in comparison, as if the spotlight was solely focused on her.

The final team fight on the high ground.

Akali unfurled a blue mist domain, traversing the mist as she approached, leaving a trail of pale purple mist behind her that snaked like a snake.

As the fog gradually dissipated.

Suddenly, a kunai wrapped in blue lightning was flung out of the air, and a semi-transparent snake tongue phantom quickly climbed up her forearm along the chain blade, instantly leaving a bright blue lightning mark!

Through the gap in the veil, Akali's misty, crimson eyes pierced the air, and Akali's figure suddenly accelerated.

The phantom of the Teng Snake, formed by nebula and lightning, surged from her body and suddenly grew larger the instant the chaotic attack began!
"hiss--!"

"brake--!"

The giant snake raised its head and exploded with dazzling lightning in the crowd. Its terrifying growth meant it could almost tear the bodies of everyone on the Taipei team apart by itself!
The splattering blood seemed to be turning her misty, crimson eyes into a deep scarlet.

"Quadruple kill!!!"

"Did you get a pentakill?! Did you get a pentakill?!"

The Chinese team's voice chat was filled with the sounds of "Charge! Charge! Kill!"

Meanwhile, FOFO, who was standing at the very back and had originally flashed towards the fountain to escape, saw the system notification of a quadra kill coming from behind. His "emotional intelligence," which had been honed to a high level this season, instantly exploded. He actually turned around and ran back!

"Penta Kill!"

An inspiring announcement echoed throughout the stadium.

The entire audience erupted in a continuous, astonishing scream.

"A pentakill!!!"

"This seems to be his second pentakill with Akali!?"

"Master Ye picked Akali twice this year, and got two pentakills on both! Truly a worthy signature champion!!"

【Hey buddy! You can just take it!?】

[This is the power of Akali, the Goddess! It's not just about daring to let her go and winning; it's about daring to let her go and getting a pentakill!]

[To be honest, FOFO is too sensible. Those who have been reformed after being in prison really have emotional intelligence. I personally declare him innocent! Innocent!!]

[You're all happy, but I'm the only one sad—after doing this to Akali, isn't she really sentenced to life imprisonment? I ask you, who would dare let her go after this? Let her out to get a pentakill?!]

【Holy crap, it really is! Oh, my dear Lauri! Waaaaah, my Lauri!】

[I think FOFO is absolutely malicious! Brothers, let's take him down!]

The warhorse backstage suddenly felt dizzy, clearly realizing just how terribly wrong it had been.
Ye Bo also showed a bright smile on the live stream screen.

"Brothers, take it slow, take it slow!"

Upon hearing this, the four people who were dismantling the crystal immediately stopped and even took a step back.

Ye Bo certainly didn't intend to torture the other party—he just wanted to watch "Return to the City."

The smoke of battle had not yet dissipated in the canyon.

On the ground, five bodies lay fallen, fittingly placed.

A pale golden halo swirled around Akali as she sat suspended in mid-air, her legs dangling gracefully. A bright blue film spread upwards from her smooth ankles, rippled across the blue mist-patterned hem of her skirt three inches above her knees.

In the recall animation, the Easter egg shouts "YE! YE! YE!" that come from afar seem to echo the scene unfolding on the scene.

It was more like a shout that transcended the time and space of the competition.

The next moment, Akali's toes touched the ground—*snap! snap! snap! snap!* Her figure flashed four times.

Wait until the afterimage dissipates.

When her figure reappeared in the center of the halo, two fluffy Hakimi appeared in her previously empty arms.

The assassin's cold, icy gaze seemed to soften suddenly. His misty, crimson eyes lost their sharpness from the battle. He even gently tugged at his elbows, worried that the two small trucks might slip off. His movements were so slow that he was nothing like the person who had just been traversing the fog and chasing shadows on the battlefield.

A ragdoll kitten curiously stretched out its paw and tugged at the blue mist-patterned hem of her skirt on her knees.

A plump blue cat buried its large face in her forearm, rubbed its head against the kunai at its waist, and made a "purring" sound like a V8 engine.

The shouts of "YE! YE!" continued behind me.

Akali turned her back in the last second of the recall countdown and vanished from the spot.

The four people who remained waiting around the crystal did not make a move immediately. Only after receiving a response from the crystal did they all raise their hands and detonate it together.

Congratulations to Team China! They're leading 1-0!

The sound of shouting suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Obviously.

The next two matches were also largely predictable.

After all, apart from Karsa, FOFO, Big Dog, and Snake are only considered second-tier players on the Taipei team. The gap in strength between the two sides is huge in all aspects.

Especially after the first match, they basically lost all fighting spirit.
"The Chinese mainland team won the team fight in front of the inhibitor turret, and only after gathering super minions from all three lanes of high ground and advancing side by side could they push straight towards the crystal."

"But the last five members of the Chinese mainland team rushed into the fountain, resulting in a mutual wipeout, and finally the super minions had no choice but to destroy the crystal!"

When the main crystal of the Chinese Taipei team collapsed into pieces for the third time.

Spotlights suddenly flashed and crisscrossed in the sky above Hangzhou.

They finally converged above the Chinese team's seating area!
Meanwhile, everyone in the audience was waving the same flag vigorously.

"We are the champions!!!"
