Chapter 8

After patiently and skillfully "teaching" He Rui, Lin Xiao, whose mood remained completely unaffected, turned around and once again took control of his support Hextech Hammerstone, moving back and forth along the minion line to look for opportunities. At the same time, he asked the nearby Ouyang Yang:

"Hey, how much longer until your summoner spells are off cooldown?"

Ouyang Yang instinctively glanced at his summoner spell bar: "Flash is still one minute away, and Heal is already ready." He then asked, "When my summoner spells are ready, can we go for a strong engage?"

Although he didn't speak up when He Rui was being critical, Ouyang Yang still had some anticipation for a strong fight against the enemy.

What was that line from the Barbarian? Oh right, my big axe is thirsty!

Ouyang Yang felt that his dual guns were already thirsty.

But Lin Xiao shook his head repeatedly: "A strong engage? Oh, it's not that serious. I was just asking casually..."

"Okay, okay." Ouyang Yang's face was still black, and he then added with some concern, "So we just keep farming peacefully against the enemy... If Vayne develops steadily like this, it will be hard to fight in team battles later on, right?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan!" Lin Xiao said confidently.

This immediately piqued the curiosity of the classmates watching the game: Vayne's cautious movement makes it hard to hook her, and you, Hammerstone, don't plan to pull their support Prince... So it's basically a stalemate. Is there really a way to break this deadlock?

Then, they saw Lin Xiao's hands on the keyboard, typing quickly, and finally pressing Enter.

A line of text appeared in the team chat box at the bottom left of the screen:

"Jungler daddy, mid laner daddy, please come for support!"

The classmates instantly fell over: You b*tch! So your plan was just to ask for support!? Your confidence made us think you had some amazing trick up your sleeve!

However, to be fair, the best way to break a stalemate in lane is to get your jungler or mid laner to roam and gank.

And soon, a reply came from a teammate in the chat box:

"Don't worry, I'll be down in a moment."

This was the Amumu player's firm promise.

"Set up vision in the bottom lane, I'll look for an opportunity to teleport."

This was the message from the mid laner, Nocturne. As the blue side mid laner, this player named "Feng Dashan Tongue" had Flash and Teleport, a typical support-oriented playstyle. The only assist for He Rui and Ouyang Yang earlier came from his roaming gank.

After receiving the reply from his teammate, Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said to Ouyang Yang, "Alright, just wait for the teammates to come and help with the gank."

"Oh, oh, okay..." Ouyang Yang nodded, feeling a bit stiff in the neck.

I thought you had a good plan, but it turns out you can only rely on your teammates... He Rui couldn't help but complain in his mind, but after the previous lesson, he only dared to mutter these words to himself.

...

At 17:30 in the game, a text message appeared in the chat box:

"LeBlanc has no ultimate and no Flash."

This was from the mid laner, the Katarina player. Lin Xiao switched his view and noticed that their mid laner teammate was low on health and chose to recall—probably because he was just forced to fight by the enemy LeBlanc, but at least he didn't die.

Then he quickly scanned the minimap. The enemy mid laner LeBlanc was nowhere to be seen, either recalling or moving somewhere else.

"LeBlanc might come to the bottom lane, control the minion wave—" Lin Xiao reminded Ouyang Yang.

Ouyang Yang naturally followed the advice without hesitation, and the minion wave was slowly pushed back toward the blue side's outer turret by the enemy purple side Vayne and Prince.

At 17:40, the minion wave stopped about 400 to 500 units outside the range of the blue side's outer turret. At the same time, Lin Xiao noticed that the enemy support Prince's movement became more aggressive, constantly moving near the bush at the bottom of the Summoner's Rift.

However, when Lin Xiao controlled Hammerstone to move toward the enemy, the Prince quickly retreated. When Lin Xiao retreated, the enemy Prince advanced again. When Lin Xiao advanced again, the enemy retreated again.

Even the enemy ADC Vayne was showing various movement flaws, almost openly inviting Lin Xiao's Hammerstone to hook them.

Something was definitely off.

"This acting is too bad..." Lin Xiao shook his head repeatedly and instructed Ouyang Yang, "Get ready to retreat, the enemy LeBlanc or jungler Monk is probably coming."

"Okay." Ouyang Yang agreed, but before he could control his ADC Miss Fortune to retreat to the turret, the enemy jungler Prince couldn't hold back and attacked.

He used Flash, and a burst of brilliant golden light suddenly appeared!

Instantly moving to the target Miss Fortune, the purple side support Prince player used his ultimate "Unstoppable Force" decisively, trapping Ouyang Yang's Miss Fortune in a high, jagged ring of rock with a loud boom.

Flash followed by ultimate, simple, violent, and effective.

The purple side Prince player even skipped the EQ combo, having learned from the lesson of being interrupted by Lin Xiao's Hammerstone's E skill—essentially, he had a psychological shadow.

However, at the moment, this choice was not inappropriate. After all, as an ADC without any escape skills, Ouyang Yang's Miss Fortune had no way to escape once trapped by the enemy Prince's ultimate.

"Damn, this Prince is so aggressive!!"

"Ouyang, don't be scared, stand and fight him!!"

"Stand and fight? The enemy definitely has support coming, okay!!?"

The classmates watching the game were in a chaotic uproar, each with different opinions and suggestions. Amidst the noisy arguments, Lin Xiao's calm voice still sounded in Ouyang Yang's ear: "It's fine, stand and fight."

Hearing this command, Ouyang Yang felt reassured and immediately threw away his nervousness, controlling his ADC Miss Fortune to quickly activate the W skill "Black Gun" to increase his attack speed, and then started a rapid burst of attacks on the enemy support Prince.

Auto-attack, Q, then auto-attack again, and finally the ultimate "Bullet Time."
