Chapter 5

"An enemy has been slained (A enemy hero has been killed)."

Accompanied by the pleasant female voice from the old speaker, the group of classmates standing behind Lin Xiao and Ouyang Yang burst into cheers:

"Oh, oh, that's awesome!!"

"Counterkill, counterkill!!"

"This prince was still trying to kill, he deserved to die, hahaha—"

"Ouyang, that ultimate was well done! All the damage was dealt!"

It was no wonder they were so excited and jubilant. After all, they had been watching from behind, putting themselves in the shoes of the female gunner and Hecarim on the screen. Seeing their classmates being so passively controlled, it made them feel incredibly frustrated and stifled as spectators.

And now, this counterkill under the tower was truly satisfying and exhilarating!!

"Hehe, just so-so..." Ouyang Yang modestly replied to the praise from his classmates, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face. After all, he had been under pressure for a full ten minutes, and this was his first kill.

Of course, amidst the excitement and joy, Ouyang Yang didn't forget the biggest contributor who had helped him secure the prince's kill: "It's mainly because the Hecarim support was so good. Those two skill uses were just perfect!"

At his mention, the classmates watching the game also seemed to wake up from a dream.

Right, if it weren't for Hecarim's E skill interrupting the prince's EQ combo, Ouyang Yang's female gunner might have been the one lying in the fountain waiting to respawn!

The biggest contributor was Hecarim!

The classmates' gazes immediately turned to Lin Xiao, and a wave of enthusiastic praise followed.

Lin Xiao, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, said, "It's okay..."

Before he could modestly add a few more words, Ouyang Yang enthusiastically interrupted him: "Bro, don't be modest. If it weren't for you, I would have definitely been killed by that prince—no wonder you're Silver 3, your skill level is different! Hey, by the way, I don't even know your name?"

"Oh, I'm Lin Xiao, 'Lin' as in 'two woods,' and 'Xiao' as in 'grass on top.'" As he answered, Lin Xiao scratched his head, wondering if Silver 3 skill level could be described with such a term...

"Lin Xiao..." After a moment of thought, Ouyang Yang slapped his thigh, "What a great name! It sounds like someone who plays LoL!"

He Rui, standing behind, had a black line on his face: What the hell, can you tell someone's gaming skill from their name? He just helped you get a kill, do you have to flatter him so shamelessly... At least have some logic, okay...

But to his surprise, the surrounding classmates agreed with Ouyang Yang:

"That's right! Lin Xiao sounds like a pro player!"

"Hey, isn't the support Bingma of our server's Lightwind team also surnamed Lin?"

"And Lin Hai Ting Chao from the Seven Nights team!"

"Ha, it seems that your surname is important for gaming—like surnames like He, which sound like someone who will be stuck in Bronze forever..."

He Rui, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, started twitching at the corners of his mouth: These bastards... have no shame at all...

Finally, Lin Xiao's reminder temporarily halted this bizarre discussion:

"Hey, the prince is dead, we can push against Vayne again."

"Oh, oh, good!" Ouyang Yang readily agreed. At this moment, he had complete trust in Lin Xiao, the new support Hecarim who had taken his place, and naturally followed his lead.

At this moment, the wave of minions was still lingering at the edge of the blue team's first tower's range, but Ouyang Yang was already controlling his ADC female gunner to follow the support Hecarim, quickly crossing the minion line and pressing towards the purple team's ADC Vayne.

Lin Xiao glanced at the female gunner following him, and while continuing to control Hecarim to chase and kill Vayne, he threw a W skill "Soultorch" behind him: "Click the lantern."

Ouyang Yang naturally stepped on the lantern without hesitation, and the female gunner's figure was instantly enveloped in a green lantern light, quickly pulled to Hecarim's side by the green light.

In an instant, the distance to the enemy ADC Vayne was shortened by over 300 units.

"Slow him down—" Lin Xiao reminded.

"Okay!" Ouyang Yang pressed the E key, and the skill "Crimson Rain" instantly covered the ground in front of Vayne.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter—

A shower of bullets rained down from the sky, landing on the purple team's ADC Vayne, drastically reducing her movement speed.

Then Lin Xiao controlled his support Hecarim to swing his scythe chain and deal a basic attack, while Ouyang Yang's female gunner also aimed at the slowed Vayne and fired several basic attack bullets.

After a wave of pursuit, Vayne's health was reduced to just over half.

Although Ouyang Yang was still excited, he followed Lin Xiao's instructions and returned to continue last-hitting minions.

"Next, I'll look for an opportunity, just focus on last-hitting."

Lin Xiao tilted his head and said to Ouyang Yang.

He Rui, standing behind, sneered inwardly: Wait for an opportunity? The Vayne on the other side is so cautious, not even last-hitting, just eating minion experience from a distance, and with the Q skill "Vault" to dodge your hooks, it's easy for her.

When the enemy support prince respawns and returns to the lane, the bottom lane will still be at a disadvantage.

We'll see how you find an opportunity then!

...

A few seconds passed quickly, and the minion wave in the bottom lane was slowly pushed by Ouyang Yang's ADC female gunner to a position near the river mouth.

Lin Xiao glanced at his summoner spell bar, [Flash] was already off cooldown, and [Ignite] was 4 seconds away.

Speaking of which, the only thing he was quite satisfied with about the support Hecarim position he had taken over was that the summoner spell was [Ignite] rather than [Exhaust].

After all, for an aggressive and fierce support like Hecarim, [Ignite] was much stronger, and [Exhaust] didn't fit Lin Xiao's usual playstyle at all.

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked ahead.

The purple team's ADC Vayne was still recklessly moving around behind the minion line, probably relying on her Q skill's mobility and E skill's knockback, not taking the support Hecarim seriously.

Young man, 1v2 and still so reckless, that's not appropriate, is it?

"Must give a lesson—"

Lin Xiao muttered, then sent a message to his teammate Ouyang Yang: "Pay attention, I'm going to make a move."

"Okay!" Ouyang Yang instinctively agreed, then realized what Lin Xiao had said and was taken aback: "Ah? How now?"

But at this moment, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at He Rui, who was standing behind, and politely asked: "Hey, does the enemy Vayne still have both summoner spells?"

"Ah?"

Caught off guard by the question, He Rui's reaction was like a student caught daydreaming in class, and he was taken aback.

Lin Xiao quickly explained: "When did the enemy Vayne use [Flash] and [Heal], and are they off cooldown now?" Then he was confused by He Rui's reaction: "Hey, isn't remembering the enemy's summoner spell cooldowns a basic skill for a support...?"

Your basic skill, my ass!

I was just beaten like a dog, how could I remember these things!?

He Rui couldn't help but want to go crazy and roar, but seeing the classmates' gazes all turn to him, he forced himself to answer: "Should... not be off cooldown yet."

"Oh, good, thanks." Lin Xiao nodded in understanding.

The next moment, his finger on the F key struck like lightning!

Summoner spell, [Flash] used!!

A burst of golden light with fine particles suddenly appeared.

On the screen, the blue team's support Hecarim had already flashed to a position not far behind the purple team's ADC Vayne, swinging his scythe chain.

E skill "Doom's Bell" was used, pulling back with a powerful force!!

Vayne's figure involuntarily leaned back and stumbled backward.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
