The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 119 [I am Old Wei, a lewd and unscrupulous warlock!]
When Bajie got close enough to Tang Rou, Tang Rou raised her spear and thrust it forward!
In an instant, countless afterimages appeared—the afterimages of Dragon Fang. "Phantom Dragon Fang" is a standard technique for Battle Mages and a skill frequently used by professional players.
"Damn! You little girl, don't you have any martial ethics? So you weren't AFK after all!"

The honest and simple-minded Pigsy has been tricked by a woman again. Pigsy has been tricked many times before.

"I'll raise my shield!" But it didn't work; Tang Rou interrupted him again. Phantom Dragon Fang was too fast, knocking Bajie's shield away. The timing of raising the shield was completely wrong.
"I'll raise my shield again!" Pigsy was still unwilling to give up. He felt that what happened just now was an accident, and he refused to believe that he could be interrupted again if he tried to activate it once more.

"V-shaped Sky Strike!"

But the result was that Pigsy was interrupted again. The first time could be considered a coincidence, but the second time could not be called a coincidence. The second time, he was genuinely captured.

"Damn it, the shield won't hold up!"

Bajie panicked a little. The knight's sense of security was gone. Wasn't this the end of the game?
After Tang Rou seized one opportunity, Bajie never used his shield again and was suppressed until the very end.
Even at the very end, Pigsy couldn't understand why he had been suppressed for so long.

"Wow, not bad—you've already won two games!"

Mo Qian commented on Tang Rou's actions.
Bajie's health was completely depleted by Tang Rou's final, point-blank attack, "Dragon Soaring to the Sky." Tang Rou was now capable of taking on two opponents at once, something Mo Qian hadn't expected at all.

He had initially thought Tang Rou would need more time to grow, but it seems Mo Qian underestimated her talent.

"Old Ye, you've taught well. Looks like you're almost done. Do you think you can take on three at once?"

Ye Xiu glanced at Tang Rou's health and mana, and subtly shook his head. She was still short.

"It probably won't work. It's too early for her to take on three opponents at once, and her condition isn't very good anymore. Two matches should be her limit."

Ye Xiu saw it very clearly: Tang Rou possessed both ability and talent; what she lacked was simply time and experience.

As expected, when Sha Wujing appeared, Tang Rou couldn't hold on any longer and unfortunately left the scene, failing to complete the feat of taking on three opponents at once.
Baozi next to him was so envious he cried. When could he be like that? It was all that awful rock-paper-scissors game. How could Baozi have lost to Tang Rou back then?
No, I'll never play rock-paper-scissors with Tang Rou again. Dice are much more suitable for Baozi. But what Baozi doesn't know is that whether it's dice or rock-paper-scissors, Baozi's luck is actually no match for Tang Rou's.

Luck is a fickle thing; it's often innate. Some people are just lucky and soar to great heights, while others are unlucky and get every guess wrong. This kind of situation is quite common. —"Boss Wei, please, let me go! Let me do it!"

Baozi clung to Lao Wei's leg, refusing to let go, because he knew that if Lao Wei intervened, there was a high chance that Baozi would be out of the picture.
Recently, Lao Wei's skills have been improving day by day, and he has gradually rediscovered his peak three-point shooting ability from back in the day.

Even Lao Wei's previously dejected face showed some vitality. Lao Wei used to be the most beautiful player on the Blue Rain team.

Back then, Wei was incredibly handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and well-defined features. He even had quite a few fans who admired his looks.

However, times have changed. Now, Old Wei has a bit of a beer belly and is no longer the dashing figure he once was. His thick beard, messy hair, and weathered face all testify to this:
This is a disillusioned middle-aged man, but in reality, Lao Wei is only around thirty years old. Although his condition has declined somewhat, he still has some foundation.
Although the training Ye Xiu and Mo Qian provided to Mo Qian couldn't help Lao Wei recover all his strength, it could at least restore about one-third of it.
Old Wei felt that a score of 3 was already enough for him to dominate, and playing in a challenge match would be no problem at all.
Game start!
From the very beginning, Lao Wei employed his sneaky and defensive playstyle to the fullest, making it impossible for Sha Wujing to touch him.

Sha Wujing's profession is a berserker swordsman. Logically speaking, he should have an easier time fighting against Lao Wei's sorcerer. Why not just charge in and be done with it?

But they were oversimplifying things. Old Wei is no longer the颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, demoralized, or dispirited) Old Wei. He's now using his "exquisite skills" [which is actually just a simple kiting tactic to kite the opponent].

But in Lao Wei's mouth, it became an incredibly exquisite "cursed arrow".
Old Wei kept kiting [Sha Wujing]. This playstyle isn't inherently bad; it's allowed in professional matches. However, it's not something most people would do.

Because everyone who can compete professionally is a top-tier talent, an exceptional player. Naturally, none of them are willing to concede to the others; they'll fight to the death whenever they meet. Who would want to keep running away and avoiding battles, except for Old Wei?

"Hey buddy, can't you have some backbone? This is a professional competition. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by fans for this?"

Although [Sha Wujing] typed it this way, it seemed like casting pearls before swine to Lao Wei. Lao Wei wouldn't change his typing style because of this; he was completely unyielding.
Say whatever you want, but Lao Wei won't change his mind. Lao Wei is still counting on using his incredibly sneaky tactical style to take on three opponents at once—

Do you really think Lao Wei intends to use such tactics and playstyle? Lao Wei used to be an incredibly aggressive Warlock, a Warlock who loved to show off his skills.
But now, though the hero is past his prime, his spirit remains high. Old Wei has also reached this age. Since his skills are far inferior to what they were in his youth, he will use a different approach to compete.
That means abandoning all pride and adopting a completely "sneaky" playstyle—playing as sneaky as possible. Only in this way can the skill requirements be minimized.

More importantly, this also reduces the positioning requirements for Lao Wei, which will have a good effect in team matches.
Old Wei, the sneaky and cunning warlock who strikes from the shadows, reporting for duty!
Half an hour later, the torturous battle against Sha Wujing finally ended. Heaven knows what kind of torture Sha Wujing had just endured.
If Xu Bin's title of "King of Grinding" is because he is extremely good at grinding, then it seems that Lao Wei might also deserve the title of "King of Torture."
