Bab 15: Chapter 14 - Merciless Beat-down
Huang Shaotian simply watched as Lord Grim approached his character. Since he proclaimed that he won't touch the keyboard until Li Haoxuan finished his 15 hits, he decided to lean back against the chair in a relaxed manner.
The arena map that Huang Shaotian picked was everyone's favorite. They were placed in a high platformed area. There were little to none hiding places, and the area is small. The edge of the arena was broken off and if one were to fall, it would cause instant death.
Li Haoxuan's opening attack was Sky Strike, then he followed it with Falling Flower Palm, sending Huang Shaotian's avatar flying through the distance. "Remember not to touch your keyboard, uncle," Li Haoxuan said with a smile on his face.
"Of course! Do you think this ancestor's word is so cheap? You just used up two of your 15 hits. You only have 13 left and my health is only down to 94%. If it's like this, you won't be able to beat me!" Huang Shaotian said in a tone full of confidence.
Li Haoxuan didn't reply as he was focused on his match. He made Lord Grim approached Huang Shaotian's avatar once more but he didn't immediately attack.
"What's wrong? Hurry and attack! If you don't attack then when can I start attacking? Or do you plan on not attacking now you know that you can't beat me? Xiao Xuan, you can't be like this, ah! Even if you know that you'll lose, you still have to accept it like a man!"
As Huang Shaotian continued to ramble, Ye Xiu just stared at Li Haoxuan who looked relaxed. It was as if the boy was not in a hurry. As soon as the two skills he used from earlier finished its cooldown, Li Haoxuan once more executed them and sends his opponent further towards the edge.
By now, Ye Xiu finally figured out what Li Haoxuan's plan is and a smile formed on his face. "Shaotian, would you like to bet?" Ye Xiu asked the person on the other side.
"Bet? Are you going to bet that you will lose later? Sure! If you lose later, you will go out and scream that Huang Shaotian is your ancestor three times! And you will also promise not to mute me again in the future!" Huang Shaotian replied.
"Hahaha, no. I'm betting five yuan that on Xiao Xuan's 8th hit, you will end up touching your keyboard and starts your counter attack!" Ye Xiu announced.
"Old Ye, what are you talking about? Are you trying to say that this, Huang Shaotian is someone who will go back on his word? Fine! If I do touch my keyboard before he used up his 15 hit handicap, then I will accept my loss!"
Li Haoxuan continued to ignore the two exchanges and kept on doing as he planned. On his sixth hit, Huang Shaotian finally realized what is happening. One more Sky Strike and Falling Flower Palm combo, and he would be knocked out of the platform and fall down to his death. But by now, Li Haoxuan had changed his tactic. After sending Huang Shaotian flying, he rushed over to connect more hits before Huang Shaotian can react.
Out of instinct, Huang Shaotian immediately sat straight up and his hands went to his keyboard and mouse. With a burst of hand speed, the passive avatar of Huang Shaotian finally moved. He dodged Li Haoxuan's next attack and started his own counter-attack.
"This little devil! I gave you 15 hits out of compassion and you actually try to push me out of the arena?! This kind of dirty play, did your master tells you to do it, huh? Old Ye! It's not even a day and he's already corrupted by you! Even that Xiao Tang didn't play this dirty before!"
Li Haoxuan clicked his tongue when Huang Shaotian starts his counter attack. He struggled to keep up, dodging and moving away. But no matter where he moved, Huang Shaotian seems to know his next step and would appear from a direction that Li Haoxuan wouldn't expect.
From the moment Huang Shaotian touched his keyboard until Lord Grim's health reached 0, not even a minute has passed.
"Hmm… 54 seconds. Not bad," Ye Xiu stared at his phone which shows the stopwatch application.
Li Haoxuan on the other hand stared at the grayed out screen with the huge word 'Defeat' plastered on it. With a sigh, he kicked his feet on the ground and the chair moved away slightly from the table. And then, he turned around, stood up and helped Li Zhihuan to the chair.
He didn't even complain that Huang Shaotian didn't adhere to his promise. Instead, the fire of competition was roused in him in that short 54 seconds.
'I want to go again,' Li Haoxuan thought as he watched his brother getting ready.
Li Zhihuan was extremely nervous after seeing his brother being brutally beaten. When he logged in and entered the PK room, Huang Shaotian was already there waiting for him.
"Are you ready? Don't worry. As long as you don't follow your brother's dirty footsteps, this elder won't be too harsh on you. Of course, since you're a cleric, there is nothing much that you can—"
While Huang Shaotian was talking, the countdown reached zero and Li Zhihuan immediately casts Hypnosis on Huang Shaotian, inflicting him with sleep status. After that, he followed it with Angel Wings. Li Zhihuan flew, moving further away from Huang Shaotian.
"…" Huang Shaotian who was taken by surprise was speechless for a second. He did not expect that this child, who looked decent, would attack him without any warning while he was still talking.
"These twins are both a devil with an angel's disguise! Angel Wings? It should be a devil wings instead! When your elder is still speaking, never interrupt them! Did no one ever tell you that? Then let this elder teach you then!" Huang Shaotian quickly moved his character as soon as the sleep effect disappeared.
Li Zhihuan was prepared, and he quickly maneuvered his own character, following the Z-path in an attempt to shake away Huang Shaotian. He managed to dodge some attack, but unfortunately, Huang Shaotian is still someone with a richer experience than him.
On the 29th seconds, Li Zhihuan was staring at the defeat logo before letting out a heavy sigh. "God Huang, didn't you say that you won't be too harsh on me?" Li Zhihuan asked.
"Who was the one who casts Hypnosis on me without waiting for me to finish talking? You two little devils… I wouldn't have expected that such obedient looking children would play this dirty! Alright, tell this ancestor honestly. It was Old Ye that taught you to play dirty, right? You two should not follow his footsteps, ah! Do you know what his title is in the professional player circle?"
"The Glory Textbook?" Li Haoxuan answered.
"Battle God?" Li Zhihuan answered a second later.
"Pei! Those are what others knew him as! In the pro circle, he has one more title, ah! 'The God of Shamelessness'! His face is so thick that nothing can break through his face! Not even Captain Wei can beat him in terms of shamelessness! Did you know, one of his members once complained that in order to force him to join Happy, Old Ye harassed him in the game every day!"
The twin stays quiet before both of them looked at Ye Xiu with a questioning expression.
"He's talking about one of your seniors. Don't listen to what Shaotian is saying. That senior of yours became a very good professional player before retiring so you just have to trust me," Ye Xiu answered their unspoken question.
"No! He will definitely corrupt you! Why do you have to take him as a master, ah! Of all people, you can even choose Old Han! Or me! I can teach you to be a great professional player! Look at Lu Hanwen!"
"Can you play unspecialized?"
Surprisingly the question came from three people at the same time. The twin looked at Ye Xiu and Ye Xiu also looked at them with a surprised expression.
Huang Shaotian who was asked if he could play unspecialized: …
In the end, Li Zhihuan was replaced by Qiu Fei who finally beat Huang Shaotian, and thus, Li Haoxuan get his turn once more.
On the second round, Huang Shaotian didn't play around with the twins anymore. He decided to treat them seriously, giving the two a good trashing as their first experience in fighting against a professional player.
By 9:00 PM, Li Wenyan came over to call for his two sons to go to bed. With much reluctance, the twin left the room and followed their father.
"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Huan, come tomorrow after breakfast. We'll review your matches today and I'll tell you where you can improve yourself," Ye Xiu said out loud before the twins left the room.
"After breakfast? Okay! We'll be here!" Li Zhihuan answered happily.

Lin_XiaoLong By the time this chapter is up, I should already be on my vacation XD
This chapter is a bit slow to what I expect it to be so I've scheduled another chapter for later today. I only managed to have 4 chapters buffer so after these 2 chapters today, there will be another 2 more released on Sunday and Monday. If I can, I'll try to write during my time at the hotel.
There's not much action after the two chapters, mostly just a time skip. But there will be a battle scene during the 20th Season of the League and then, come the announcement where Ye Xiu and the rest will showcase the new system. So, stay tuned!
If you like the series, vote, comment and leave a review! Share it with friends if you like. The more support, the more fun I can share!
PS: Writing battle scene is hard but I do try my best. If anyone can help me with it, I would appreciate it very much!
