“We tricked Brother Shen into a duel, but five of us went... isn’t that a bit dishonorable?”

Zhou Yue frowned.

“Come on, big brother, when we were ambushing bots in the bush just now, you were the most active in stealing kills.”

Zhou Qiaoling immediately retorted.

It was unclear when it started, but the methods of these Righteous Path Cultivators in the Illusion Realm gradually began to develop in strange directions.

If one were to trace the origin, it seemed to start from Lu Ze’s audacious moves in “Immortal Realm Hegemony.”

In short, the Righteous Path Cultivators’ resistance to these less-than-Righteous Path tactics was no longer as strong.

Under Zhong Yi’s leadership, everyone walked towards the top lane.

During the journey, Zhong Yi saw Li Mozhan constantly swinging °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° her blade, seemingly testing something.

Each time the blade struck the air, she would suddenly change her movements, her footsteps shifting.

“Senior Sister Li, what are you doing?”

Zhou Qiaoling blinked, asking curiously.

“Testing... the rules of this Illusion Realm.”

Li Mozhan looked at the dark green broken blade in her hand and said thoughtfully.

After three rounds of bot matches, she noticed some interesting things.

Every action, like a command, could not be switched arbitrarily as in reality.

For example, when attacking one unit, if one switched to another unit midway, the entire action would restart from the beginning.

Furthermore, as long as one seized the opportunity and “interrupted” one’s own actions at the right time, it could have unexpected effects.

“Oh? Junior Sister Li is... canceling the attack’s backswing?”

Zhong Yi was an Immortal Realm Hegemony veteran and immediately saw the clue.

This operation was also called kiting.

By using movement to cancel the attack’s backswing, one could improve the fluidity of the operation.

After listening to Zhong Yi’s explanation, Zhou Yue laughed, “Old Zhong, you talk a good game, but when it comes to hands-on, you’re a noob.”

“Heh! I don’t like that kind of talk... I was just getting used to the controls! You wait, I’ll show you when we fight Shen Yan later!”

Zhong Yi immediately expressed his defiance.

“You guys go ambush in the river first, let me spar with Brother Shen first... He definitely won’t be able to beat me later, then you guys come out and cut off his retreat!”

Under Zhong Yi’s arrangement, the other four circled to the river.

Zhong Yi walked up alone, where Shen Yan was holding a golden holy hammer, having waited for a long time.

“Lao Zhou, watch closely, I’m about to make a move!”

Zhong Yi cleared his throat, and everyone else focused their view on him.

“I’ll teach you a new knowledge point!”

“Attack backswing doesn’t necessarily have to be canceled by movement...”

“Skills can too!”

Hearing Zhong Yi’s words, Li Mozhan raised an eyebrow, seemingly gaining some inspiration.

“Watch closely!”

Zhong Yi stepped forward, and Shen Yan raised his hand, striking his forehead with a small flying hammer, but Zhong Yi remained unafraid.

He deftly drew the rusty sword from his waist, and just as he was about to strike down with a sword,

Zhong Yi used 【Steel Slash】.

The blade-drawing motion was instantly interrupted, transforming into a thrust imbued with wind Spiritual Qi.

Zhong Yi exclaimed, “Holy crap! I poked off target!”

Li Mozhan: “...”

Mu Yawen: “Strange, Senior Brother, why did the opponent not lose a single drop of blood after this combo...”

Zhou Yue: “As expected of Old Zhong, interrupting a normal attack with a skill, and then the skill missed.”

Zhou Qiaoling: “I don’t know why, but I don’t find it strange at all...”

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He slammed the holy hammer heavily onto the ground.

A golden Spiritual Qi instantly knocked down a section of Zhong Yi’s health bar.

“Damn it! What are you guys still watching? Come out and beat him up!!”

Zhong Yi shouted.

Only then did the four awaken as if from a dream, rushing out of the river.

Shen Yan was shocked and opened his public voice chat, shouting, “Bah!! How can your Lingxiao Sect be so dishonorable!?”

With that, he plunged into the bush behind him, his figure instantly disappearing.

“Hahahaha! Brother Shen, just accept your death~~”

Zhong Yi laughed loudly and followed closely.

The moment he entered,

Five formidable men, ready for battle, had been waiting inside for a long time.

“???”

Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment.

“Wait...”

His words were cut short.

Behind three of them, three heroic spirit phantoms appeared simultaneously, roaring in unison:

“Demacia!!!!”

“Hey, hey...!! You, your Tianxuan Sect is too... Holy crap, don’t hit my face!!!”

...

...

Starting with zero kills and three deaths.

Lingxiao Sect was at a huge disadvantage.

The team’s atmosphere immediately became very heavy.

Top lane.

“Junior Brother Mu, don’t be unhappy. We should play the Illusion Realm with a smile, not with a frown!”

Zhong Yi patted Mu Yawen’s shoulder, comforting him.

“I’m not you, I don’t have that... 【Dash】.”

Mu Yawen sighed gloomily.

He initially thought 【Molten Giant】 would be very powerful, but it wasn’t that tanky.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi consumption was enormous; he’d throw two flying discs and be out of mana.

Zhong Yi felt that it wasn’t good for the team to remain so depressed, so he decided to step up and save the team.

“Hmph, it’s nothing! Watch Senior Brother turn the tide!”

After three rounds of practice, he had gradually gotten used to the feel of the Wind Swordsman.

Seeing the minion wave coming, Zhong Yi couldn’t help himself again.

“Dash!”

As Zhong Yi’s body flew towards the minion,

Shen Yan, who was facing him, suddenly flashed with a golden Protective Aura around his body.

With a “bang,” Zhong Yi seemed to hit a wall, his flying body abruptly stopped, and he was completely disoriented.

Immediately after, the person behind Shen Yan, with a golden light emanating from the greatsword in his hands, rushed over, shouting Demacia.

Zhong Yi fled in disarray, being chased very miserably.

“Pfft”

This scene made Mu Yawen, who had just been frowning, burst into laughter.

“Hahahahaha... Senior Brother, why aren’t you laughing? It’s so funny...”

...

The bottom lane wasn’t happy either.

The opponent’s 【Arrow of Retribution】 had taken two kills, leaving the base with two more longswords than Zhou Yue.

There was a 【Demacian Prince】 camping in the bush, so Zhou Yue didn’t dare to get close at all.

Then he looked at his teammates—

Zhou Qiaoling stood in the bush behind him, staring at a half-health siege minion, her eyes gleaming.

Her skill allowed her to devour minions or jungle monsters to restore some health.

“Big brother, I’m hungry... No, I’m low on health! Can I eat a minion to restore health?”

“You...”

Hearing this, Zhou Yue’s breathing hitched.

He vigorously began to pull his bowstring, wishing he could grind sparks out of it.

Normal attacks, volley of arrows...

All of them!

However, the Ice Shooter’s output was simply too low.

Zhou Qiaoling rushed out of the bush and swallowed the siege minion whole.

“You ate both siege minions! How am I supposed to play 1v3 in the bottom lane, Awww!!!”
