Chapter 35: Extreme Maneuver, Solo Kill on Rookie!
As Tong Xi exclaimed in surprise, all eyes turned to the big screen.
Rookie's plane was now down to half health and was farming minions under the tower.
This was a very strong minion wave, and he was reluctant to give it up, nor did he believe that Chen Xiao could directly overtake him.
He still has his W and Flash available, so he's ready to make any moves if anyone dares to cross him!
Although his reaction time and skills are not as good as they used to be, he is still confident in himself.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to lead the crumbling NIP back into the top ranks of the LPL.
"Once I clear this wave of minions, I'll reach level six. After buying a Sheen at back to base, I can go back to base and buy a Warhammer. Then, Tristana won't dare to be so reckless!"
The plane's ultimate ability can be used frequently to harass, which is something Tristana can't match.
The cannon can only jump in to unleash burst damage. If you control the distance well, you have a real chance to turn the tide in lane!
But he didn't expect Chen Xiao to be so stubborn as to actually dare to force his way through!
Miller's voice suddenly rose:
"Wow! Little Cannon used Rocket Jump to land directly on the plane's nose, exploding with sparks and inflicting weakness all at once. He gave himself no way out!"
"But Rookie's Corki still had half health, and he had his W and Flash ready. Was it really reasonable to force a kill like that?"
No one answered.
Chen Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he didn't stop operating at all.
After applying Explosive Spark and Weakness, immediately activate Q skill [Rapid Fire]. The attack speed bonus of Q at level 3 is as high as 90%!
He instantly unleashed two attacks, and it looked like he was about to detonate the bomb!
Rookie panicked and, unable to wait any longer, immediately used his W [Valkyrie Dive] to try and create distance from Tristana's basic attack.
But Chen Xiao's lips curled up in the shot, as if he had already anticipated his move and pressed his ultimate move almost instantly.
Devastating Shot!
A massive cannonball, carrying destructive power, erupted and shot towards the taking-off aircraft...
"OMG! Lucifer's reaction was outrageous! His ultimate skill completely interrupted the plane's W!"
Even more incredibly, the plane, which was hit by the knockback effect of the cannon's ultimate, was being pushed straight towards the six bird pits next to the wall.
The plane was pushed over the wall at almost the absolute limit, pulling it out of the turret's attack range!
The whole process was lightning fast; the defensive tower only had time to fire one shot, which was negligible!
Xiongxiong's voice was frantic: "What...what's going on?"
Not finished yet.
The moment Chen Xiao unleashed his ultimate move, his cannon had already taken a step forward.
Once the distance was sufficient, I immediately used Flash and went into the F6 pit, where I landed my third basic attack!
By the time Rookie reacted and tried to flash away to create distance again, it was too late.
The scorching hot fourth shell had already spewed from the Yodal gunner's cannon muzzle and slammed into the plane that had just landed!
Four layers of explosive sparks stacked up, rocket jump refreshed!
"Run? You think you can run?"
Chen Xiao sneered, then followed up with a double rocket jump to stomp on the enemy's head!
After being slowed down again, Rookie was powerless to escape and could only watch helplessly as his plane was taken down by a few basic attacks.
Hurry up and go watch black and white TV!
Use W immediately after the kill refreshes to pull the enemy out of the turret's attack range again.
The whole process was smooth and silky, just like eating Dove chocolate!
When the kill notification echoed throughout Summoner's Rift, the live stream chat went completely wild!
【？？？？？？？？】
Holy crap, a solo kill! And a tower dive solo kill at that!
[Lucifer riding and shooting Rookie? Am I dreaming?!]
[What a violent newbie! How dare he be so daring! He doesn't give the veterans any face at all!]
Is the LPL finally about to produce another super rookie?
【…】
In the players' stands, everyone was already screaming:
"Nice, nice, nice!"
"Chen Xiao, you're fucking awesome! You solo-killed Rookie!"
"Still a tower dive solo kill, you're going to be trending on social media after the game!"
"Aren't you going to treat your buddies to dinner tonight?"
"..."
On the commentary stand, Miller adjusted his crooked glasses, his voice a little hoarse:
"Wow... such a brutal tower dive! First, he used W to enter the tower, adjusted his angle, and used his ultimate to interrupt the enemy's W while sending him to the F6 pit. Then he flashed in and auto-attacked to proc the Blast Cone, refreshing his second W and completely cutting off any possibility of Rookie's escape. So ruthless! Such a fast reaction!"
Tong Xi's eyes widened, and her tongue stammered:
"Tian helped Lucifer gank and kill the jungler once, and now he's gotten another solo kill in his lane. NIP's mid and jungle are going to be in trouble!"
Xiongxiong coughed twice, his face slightly sore.
"I take back what I just said. Top Esports' rookie mid laner is much stronger than I imagined!"
Nobody expected it.
Rookie, who was highly anticipated, was surprisingly solo killed in less than eight minutes at the start of the game!
No one would have believed this would happen before the match, but it did happen without any warning!
Under the camera's lens, Chen Xiao's expression remained normal, as if he had simply completed the task of repairing a cannon vehicle.
Was this also part of your plan?
???
The thought popped into everyone's mind.
Backstage.
Mao Kai and Guo Hao stood up excitedly, raising their fists.
"Nice! Great! Chen Xiao's solo kill is a huge morale booster!"
"His meticulous skills and calm demeanor show he has the makings of a great leader; his future is promising!"
"..."
NIP players' seat.
Rookie stared at the black-and-white television in front of him and fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally managed to speak:
"I...I was careless, I didn't use my flashbang immediately!"
On the other side, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He really took a gamble on that tower dive.
Although there is a certain degree of confidence, the success rate is only about 50/50.
A single mistake could lead to a comeback defeat!
Whether it was a sudden flash of inspiration or not, he ultimately chose to trust his own actions and reactions!
He had even mentally rehearsed this amazing solo kill beforehand.
Clearly, Lady Luck was on his side, and he succeeded!
Everything was just as he had predicted!
He also won applause and cheers.
That's the charm of esports!
……
After that solo kill, the team gained a decisive advantage.
The oppressive atmosphere from losing the first game dissipated, and everyone's passion was reignited.
Although morale is something invisible and intangible, it does have a real impact on the players' reactions and actions.
At the same time, it undermines the opponent's confidence!
After logging back in, Rookie bought the Cloth Armor Shoes and behaved himself.
They completely abandoned lane control in the mid lane!
Facing two small cannons with their heads in his hands, he dared not take any chances anymore; the scene from just now was still vivid in his mind.
Aki glanced at Rookie out of the corner of her eye, sighed inwardly, and knew that she couldn't help the mid lane anymore.
He could only turn his attention to the top lane, hoping to find a breakthrough against 369!
He actually found an opportunity.
After Chen Xiao secured the solo kill, 369 became arrogant.
The younger generation is so formidable, how can he, as a senior, show weakness?
He was secretly planning to get a solo kill himself and show off his leadership skills!
As a wanderer returning home from the "King" of JD.com, he felt that his strength was beyond doubt.
Just as he seized a perfect "opportunity" to relentlessly pursue Quesanti, a sudden change occurred!
