The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 102: Cheating?! Whose knight has such high damage?!

Within the Dragon Team Club,
The captain of the Dragon Squad, [Demon Dragon], witnessed [Azure Dragon's] defeat and spat without hesitation:
"Oh dear, it seems the opponent really does have some strength. [Azure Dragon], step down and let [Ice Dragon] go."

【Demon Dragon】's voice is incredibly alluring. The captain of the Dragon Squad is actually a little girl, but her voice is anything but that of a little girl. Instead, it's a typical mature and seductive voice that makes the members of the Dragon Squad flock to her every time she speaks.

The Dragon Team is basically a one-man show by [Magic Dragon]. [Magic Dragon] claims to be a retired professional player, but in reality, he only spent a period of time in the Blue Rain team's youth training camp before being kicked out by Blue Rain. The reason for his expulsion was that he cheated!
This time, [Dragon] finally seized the opportunity. She signed up because she saw that the challenge was being held online. She had something in hand, so why would she be afraid of this little online competition?

[Ice Dragon] is the vice-captain of the Dragon Squad and a capable assistant to [Demon Dragon]. Of course, he also has his own tasks; the Dragon Squad doesn't have many capable members.
There are too many people active, but there's a risk of having their accounts banned. [Dragon] understands this well. She still remembers what Yu Wenzhou said to her when she was kicked out of the Blue Rain Youth Training Camp:
"You are indeed very capable, but you are using your abilities in the wrong place."

【Dragon】scoffed at this. What do you mean by "misplaced"? 【Dragon】has never been afraid of being misunderstood. Today Yu Wenzhou may have misjudged 【Dragon】, and tomorrow someone else may have misjudged her, but 【Dragon】is still 【Dragon】, and that has never changed.

Cheating is fun for a while, and cheating all the time is even more fun – that's the motto of [Dragon].

The second match began as scheduled. Tang Rou's current character, [Han Yanrou], was wielding a defensive, low-health spear. This was in preparation for the upcoming team battles, where Tang Rou would need to withstand all the pressure and hold off the opponent's attacks.

It was precisely because Tang Rou had a relatively high defense that she didn't lose too much health or mana in the first battle.

However, at the start of the second match, Tang Rou sensed that her opponent was somewhat different.
[Ice Dragon], as the vice-captain of the Dragon Squad, uses the Knight class.
As soon as the battle began, Tang Rou rushed forward eagerly. The previous match had been incredibly exciting for her; winning the first game had greatly encouraged her. So, Tang Rou charged straight in, wanting to take down the opponent's knight first.

However, someone who could become the vice-captain was no ordinary player. [Ice Dragon] decisively raised his knight's shield, blocking Tang Rou's attack, and then delivered a shield bash.

With a loud "Bang!", for some reason, [Ice Dragon's] shield bash seemed to have struck Tang Rou's vital artery, instantly reducing her health by a significant amount.
"Hmm? That's not right—does the Knight's Shield Bash really deal that much damage?"

Mo Qian has a sharp eye and is very sensitive to data. He quickly realized that such a shield bash shouldn't be able to deal that much damage to a battle mage who mainly focuses on defense, but this [Ice Dragon] did just that.

Mo Qian didn't believe that this [Ice Dragon] possessed superhuman strength. In reality, people with "natural superhuman strength" might actually exist, but in online games, Mo Qian only believed the data.
"Lao Ye!"

"Ah, I know, looks like we've run into some kind of superpower. But they probably won't dare to be too arrogant. Maybe they're using a cheat that ignores 20% defense, and they actually managed to fool the inspectors?"

Ye Xiu sighed. Could this person, who could fool the testing personnel's eagle eyes, be considered a genius or a fool? "A genius who misused his talent?" Ye Xiu thought silently. It seemed Team Happy was missing someone like that computer genius.

Ye Xiu silently made a plan in his mind. It seems that Ye Xiu will have to take action to save a wayward youth again. Ye Xiu wants to win over this computer genius. It would be good to add a network consultant to Team Happy.

"Little Tang is going to lose."

Ye Xiu said to Chen Guo, who had been watching Xiao Tang's match with great tension, "This time, Chen Guo couldn't understand it. Isn't Xiao Tang just suppressing the opponent's knight the whole time?"
After being hit by the shield bash, Tang Rou immediately adjusted her character's position and then unleashed a frenzy of hand speed, suppressing the opponent's knight.
Of course, it may seem that way, but the reality is not so.
Ye Xiu pointed to the health bars of both sides. Only then did Chen Guo notice something strange: the enemy knight's health bars hadn't changed at all.
It seems that the opposing knight also has very strong basic skills, otherwise it would be impossible for him to perfectly block every attack from Tang Rou. This is not a cheat code, but a solid foundation of basic skills.

"Shield Bash!"

After enduring ten minutes of intense combat, Tang Rou finally revealed a slight opening. [Ice Dragon] unleashed a "Shield Bash," stunning [Han Yanrou] once more. The damage was exceptionally considerable, seemingly unlike the typical damage output of a knight.
"Awaken! Crusade! Judgment!"

This time, the Ice Dragon seized the opportunity and activated the Knight's "Awakening Skill" without hesitation. Then, with a powerful attack from the Knight, "Crusader Judgment," Tang Rou's last bit of health was wiped out!

"glory!"

This icon appeared on Tang Rou's screen, indicating that she had lost. If her opponent hadn't been cheating, Tang Rou might have had a chance. The opponent's damage was clearly abnormal; according to Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's speculation, it should be "ignore 20% defense".
However, this cheat wasn't a major problem; Ye Xiu and Mo Qian were still confident they could slay a god.
Ye Xiu and Mo Qian have a history of killing gods before. They're just gods, right? As long as it's not a case of invincibility, Ye Xiu and Mo Qian will always find a way.

"Next round, um, Baozi! Baozi, come here, it's your turn!"

After much deliberation, Ye Xiu decided that Baozi was the most suitable choice. Against a knight, simply engaging in a direct, head-on fight would only lead to losses, just like Tang Rou did earlier. Trying to fight a knight in a positional battle would ultimately result in being worn down.

Xu Bin, known as the "Grinding King" in the league, uses this kind of play—a very annoying but effective style, and one of the Cavaliers' main offensive tactics.

Ye Xiu sent Baozi to fight, partly because he wanted to train Baozi.
Of course, the biggest reason is the unexpectedness of Baozi No.1. We don't know if Baozi can successfully defeat this god!
