Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Arriving at the Rising Dragon Internet Cafe, Luocheng adjusted his glasses and lowered his head in case anyone recognized him as he walked in.

Walking over to the gaming area, Qianqian saw Wang Qin, Xiaoyun, and Kesong first. The three were called the three musketeers of Class Eight, and during the holidays, if you wanted to find them, you just needed to come to the Rising Dragon Internet Cafe and they would be here.

“My brother is here, enough with your chattering and nonsense. Just sit down, wait to be wrecked, and obediently shove off from Rising Dragon. F*cking hate Chinese noobs like you guys, the environments in internet cafes are destroyed by people like you to the extent that even girls are afraid to come.” Wang Qin said as he spotted Luocheng walk in, his tone more confident.

“Can’t you just shut your mouth!” Xiao Bin said, his face had long passed the red color of anger until it was nearly white.

If you were comparing insults, Xiao Bin wouldn’t be able to win over Wang Qin, who had received higher education and had chosen to study in the Chinese Literature Department.

Luocheng glanced at the guy who was scolding Wang Qin and the girl beside him.

She really was flat-faced, Wang Qin was just stating a fact.

Forget about the flat-faced issue if that was the only thing, however, with that colorful chicken-butt styled hair, seeing the young couple who were still immersed in this kind of punk gothic fashion which might have been popular more than a decade ago, you could only say one thing…backwater thinking!

Xiao Bin was already calling out for them to get ready while Xiaoyun and Kesong were chattering nonstop at the side.

Xiao Bin was distributing cigarettes to his buddies. One of them who was wearing a shirt and looked slightly smarter than the rest looked to be their leader, and he gave a sweeping glance over to Wang Qin and the others.

“What’s this, you even brought a girl to fight?” The guy in the shirt laughed.

“Yeah, got a problem?” Wang Qin retorted.

“Hahaha, bringing a girl to fight…don’t tease us okay. If you can’t find people, I can help you find some!” Xiao Bin saw that there was a girl among them and he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Yo, do you want me to play too?” The flat-faced Wei Wei asked.

“Why not!”

If they dared to bring a girl, why couldn’t they do the same?

Seeing that Xiao Bin was really going to let the flat-faced girl play, Qianqian laughed with no words left to say.

Seriously nuts, an Ashe who buys Mejai’s Soulstealer wanted to be compared to her ADC which could carry with a Quicksilver Sash?

They were just asking for it, it was no one else’s fault.

***

Logging in and entering the custom lobby, it wasn’t as though they had never used draft picks.

After simply banning some champions, Kesong offered to Support for Qianqian, letting Luocheng take Mid.

Qianqian picked Ezreal as she had recently been fascinated by Ezreal who was like the wind. Various flexible movements and controls which was more interesting than the other ADCs.

Wang Qin was playing Jungler and he picked a higher-end champion, Elise.

Elise was a champion that needed a fixed movement set of combos, you usually wouldn’t see this champion appearing in normal games. Like Lee Sin, this champion required a lot of practice before even the smallest of results could be achieved, but once you had practiced to a certain extent, this champion would be invincible.

Xiaoyun was playing Top and he picked Renekton!

Judging by the champions they picked, this bunch were no longer like they were in elementary school. No more Garen, Master Yi, Ashe…

Luocheng had been pondering for what seemed like half a day, thinking long and hard about it, and finally, he decided to pick a champion who had been silent for a long time, Talon!

The Blade’s Shadow, Talon!

Luocheng had always liked this champion, he was the most typical representative of assassins in the entire League of Legends. Gorgeous and cool skills, dazzling and chic combo moves. The moment the assassin’s blade was thrust and pulled free from the enemy’s body, the bloodied scene and the calm indifference on his face…

When playing other games in the past, Luocheng liked assassin characters. The Blade’s Shadow, Talon, which had been created by Riot was created for people who loved assassins.

Talon, the best burst damage champion who was unrivaled by any!

Today, let the sharp volley of daggers dance and the blood flow, becoming a river!

***

On the other side, Xiao Bin glanced at the man in the shirt, “Lin Ming, the opponent Mid should be the Talon, who are you picking?”

“Hehe, such a champion from the cold storage and he still dared to pick it. He’s just digging his grave, I’ll pick Fizz and teach him a lesson!” Lin Ming said.

He had already taught a lot of people in Rising Dragon Cafe a lesson.

“Wei Wei, pick Soraka and support me.” Xiao Bin said.

Xiao Bin had picked Sivir, and pairing her up with Soraka, it would be impossible for their bottom lane to lose.

It didn’t matter how Wei Wei played, as long as she healed him and gave him mana, he could face-off by himself against the lot.

***

Entering the rift, it was a normal start, and Luocheng moved Talon toward the lane.

For a Talon against Fizz, you could say that it was a so-so match up. This mainly depended on the grasp of their understanding and skills on the champion. If Fizz could use his E-skill to avoid the main damage from Talon’s skills, Fizz would be able to outplay Talon, but if Fizz was careless, Talon could easily kill him.

Getting into the lane, Luocheng just farmed peacefully.

It was true that Luocheng was indeed a master, but that didn’t mean that he needed to keep slaughtering the Fizz from the beginning. A true master was often calm and alert, observing his own champion’s advantage, determining when to use his skills and when was a good time to counter.

This Fizz, he didn’t show any obvious flaws in the beginning. You couldn’t tell how good he was from just farming, you would have to wait to see how good a grasp he had on his champion’s skills.

Luocheng continued to farm, not using any of his skills to harass Fizz.

After some observation on Fizz, Lin Ming felt that this Talon was somewhat a wimp, so he decisively used a WQ-combo to move forward, then using his E-skill to jump back.

This set of combos knocked out two-fifths of Talon’s health, and if he could pull off the same combo and throw in an Ignite, it should easily give him first blood.

Lin Ming noticed that Talon was indifferent to the damage to his health, and this made him even more sure that this guy was just a wimp, so he prepared to launch his combo once again.

Fizz’s capabilities at clearing a wave was slow, and now, his skills were focused on harassing the enemy instead. So by the time Lin Ming once again had his WQ-combo prepared, Luocheng had already reached Level 4.

Luocheng had been consuming his pots since the beginning, ignoring Fizz’s harassment. He had maintained his health pretty well, and when he reached Level 4, Fizz, who was still at Level 3 suddenly launched his WQ-combo, however, Luocheng met the attack head-on!

He used his Ignite directly and cast an auto-attack right after, and then continuing to cast his auto attacks. Fizz didn’t seem weak either, and since he had his W-skill and slightly more health, he stood there and exchanged basic attacks with Luocheng!

“This guy, why isn’t he using his skills!” Lin Ming cursed.

He kept using his basic attack and Luocheng wasn’t using any of his skills. He didn’t even have one-third of his health left whilst Fizz still had three-fifths remaining.

Soon, the effect from Fizz’s W-skill—Seastone Trident was gone, and there was no longer any bonus magic damage from his attacks.

Feeling that an E-skill would be able to kill Talon, Lin Ming pressed his E key—Playful!

Fizz jumped up, and using the trident in his hand, his body flipped over in the air, his legs aiming downward heavily!

This first blood, it’s mine!

Lin Ming was about to pick up the cigarette beside him to have a pull.

Faced against this, Luocheng didn’t panic at all, instead, his fingers smoothly pressed his E key!

And then, all you could see was Talon disappearing suddenly from his spot, reappearing on the far side behind the minion wave, changing his position!

This repositioning had him beautifully dodging Fizz’s E-skill that was coming from the sky!

When Fizz landed on the ground, the skills that Luocheng had been holding on to for what seemed like a day was finally unleashed. First, a W-skill, and you could see a volley of daggers flying out from beneath Talon’s cloak, cutting into Fizz’s body piece by piece!

Talon’s W-skill at Level 1 and 2 had quite a difference in damage between the two, and at Level 4, Luocheng had upped it to Level 2 already. As the daggers swept past Fizz, his health dropped significantly, leaving about one-third of his HP remaining.

Luocheng walked up, taking advantage of the fact that Fizz was still slowed by his skills to immediately hit the latter with a basic attack which had bonus damage from his passive!

Talon’s basic attacks dealt 10% bonus physical damage to enemies affected by slows, stuns, roots, or suppression. After being slowed by the volley of daggers, Fizz was immediately hit by Luocheng’s AQ-combo and his remaining one-thirds of health immediately hit rock bottom!

Lin Ming was stunned. He had still had a lot of health left earlier, but now, suddenly this Talon had just countered with one set of combo and all his health was gone immediately. He hurriedly pressed his Flash, trying to escape!

Luocheng glanced at Fizz’s health and realized that his attack just needed a little bit more to hit that remaining 20 health to kill Fizz, so he let him go…Anyway, for Talon to take his life, he only needed an instant!

Drinking the last red pot that he had, Luocheng pushed the minion wave toward the enemies’ turret.

This way, Fizz who had run away would remain lagging behind Luocheng by one level…

Recalling back to base, Luocheng had about 1,000 gold and he bought The Brutalizer, a ward, and a few red pots before going back to lane.

6 minutes into the game, he needed another 6 minions before he could reach Level 6. Luocheng placed his ward to avoid ganks from the opponent’s side, and the minion wave was already headed in his direction.

Now, a real master could control the minion waves in the lane. Fizz obviously didn’t understand this concept, daring to push the lane when Luocheng was almost at Level 6.

Alright then, Talon will take your head with pleasure!

What combo could Talon use to ensure maximum damage?

If you could get the enemy with a W-skill first and then follow up with a set of EQR-combo, this would definitely maximize the damage output. However, most of the time, it was impossible to use the W-skill to initiate.

So then, how could Talon deal the most damage with his skills in the shortest amount of time?

Fizz had his E-skill which would allow him to avoid a lot of damage from Talon, and Luocheng was clearly aware of this…

However, this didn’t mean anything to Luocheng.

The set of combos that he was going to use, it was completely possible to deal a massive amount of damage to Fizz before the latter could use his E-skill to avoid everything for that 1 second!
