LPL didn't want me? I joined SKT instead!

"boom!"

With that deafening roar that shook the canyon, the seemingly peaceful laning balance was instantly shattered.

To everyone's astonishment, Xiao Yan's little cannon, like a shooting star falling from the sky, activated "Rocket Jump" the moment it reached level six.

iBoy's Kog'Maw was standing at the edge of the minion wave, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Watching Xiao Yan's restless movements, the seventeen-year-old prodigy was calculating in his mind: "Go ahead and jump. If you dare to jump, Clearlove is right behind you. If you jump, you'll die!" He deliberately took a half step forward, a temptation befitting a top-tier AD carry. He was using his own body as bait, trying to lure Xiao Yan into the trap.

The little cannon drew a very high arc in the air, its chubby body looking particularly ferocious against the backdrop of Summoner's Rift bathed in the setting sun. Just before its body hit the ground...

"Explosive sparks!"

A time bomb flashing a dangerous red light was precisely positioned above Big Mouth's head in mid-air.

"Now! Wolf!" Xiao Yan roared in the voice chat.

"Growing wildly!"

The originally petite Xiaopao suddenly swelled up a lot, and a ring of emerald green energy ripples spread wildly from him.

Kog'Maw, who was about to unleash a spit of mud, was launched into the air by Lulu's ultimate before he could even press any skill button. Then, Tristana's landing slow followed perfectly with Lulu's ultimate's subsequent crowd control.

"Damn it!" iBoy's pupils shrank suddenly as he realized he was unable to move in his turret form.

Meiko's Janna reacted incredibly quickly, but he was only level five and didn't have the "Revival Monsoon" that could repel everything. He could only desperately put "Eye of the Storm" on Kog'Maw, trying to use that thin shield to withstand the barrage of attacks from the cannon.

But this is too powerless.

After landing, Xiao Yan immediately activated his Q skill "Rapid Fire," and the cannon in his hand became a blur.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each basic attack deals bonus magic damage from Lulu Pix, and each basic attack makes the bomb above Kog'Maw's head even darker red.

Kog'Maw's health was dwindling at a visible rate. iBoy frantically pressed the keyboard, trying to retreat after the control ended, but Tristana's slightly longer attack range, along with Lulu's follow-up slow, made him feel like he was struggling in a quagmire.

"Die." Xiao Yan coldly uttered two words.

With the final basic attack, the explosive sparks above Kog'Maw's head reached their limit. With a deafening "boom," flames shot into the sky, instantly taking away Kog'Maw's last sliver of health.

First Blood!

The sound effects of First Blood resounded throughout the stadium, and the screams in the Guangzhou Gymnasium almost lifted the roof off.

However, the battle was far from over.

"The factory manager is here!" Miller's voice was shrill due to excessive tension.

Just as Big Mouth fell, the factory manager, who had been lurking behind the triangular bushes, finally made his move.

He couldn't just stand by and watch iBoy die without doing anything; then EDG's bot lane would be completely ruined.

The blind monk's figure shot out from the bushes like a silver lightning bolt.

The factory manager's eyes were unusually cold; he had calculated every angle.

At this moment, Tristana has just completed the kill. Although her W skill has been refreshed, there will be an extremely slight moment of lag after Lulu's ultimate skill disappears.

"Ward Touch! Flash!"

The factory manager's operation was smooth and effortless. The Lee Sin first used his W skill to dash to the side of Tristana, and then with a flash of golden light, he dashed directly behind Tristana.

From this position, as long as the R skill "Dragon Tail" is pressed, Tristana will be irresistibly kicked deep into EDG's turret.

With the combined damage from the turret and the slowing effect from Janna, Xiao Yan is doomed!

"Come back here!" the factory manager roared in his mind, his finger already pressing the R key.

The entire audience held their breath; Wawa even shouted, "Is it going to be a one-for-one trade?"

However, the moment the blind monk raised his leg, the little trinket who was standing still also unleashed a golden light!

"flash!"

Xiao Yan actually predicted the angle of the Factory Manager's R-flash at that critical moment!

The little cannon's figure instantly appeared behind and to the side of the Lee Sin.

"What?!" The factory manager's mind went blank.

He had been a professional player for many years and had seen countless top AD carries, but Xiao Yan was the first to accurately predict the position of Lee Sin's R-flash in such close range and in such a chaotic battle!

Xiao Yan didn't give the factory manager any time to think.

"Get out of here."

The little cannon raises its cannon, and its ultimate move, "Destructive Shot," erupts with a deafening roar.

A massive cannonball slammed into the blind monk's chest, the immense impact sending him flying hundreds of yards before crashing into the edge of the riverbank.

This shot not only shattered the factory manager's attack, but also shattered EDG's last hope of a comeback.

Xiao Yan, controlling the cannon, accelerated towards his own minion wave without looking back, thanks to Lulu's speed boost. His figure, amidst the billowing smoke, appeared both elegant and arrogant.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

A full three seconds passed before the commentator, Wawa, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "My God! He dodged it! Xiao Yan used a god-level flash to dodge the Factory Manager's ultimate R-flash! What kind of reaction speed is that? Is this even a human being capable of?"

Miller, equally shocked, analyzed rapidly, "Watch the replay! The instant the Clearlove landed with Flash, Xiao Yan pressed Flash almost simultaneously. This shows he didn't react only after seeing the Lee Sin land; he guessed Clearlove's next move the instant Clearlove touched his ward! He was playing a game of cat and mouse with Clearlove, and he won, won completely!"

The LPL fans at the scene looked at each other, their prepared cheers stuck in their throats. Looking at the seemingly invincible Tristana on the big screen with only half its health remaining, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside them.

Meanwhile, on EDG's stage, iBoy stared blankly at the black screen, his hands leaving the mouse.

His eyes were somewhat unfocused, and the scene from just now kept replaying in his mind.

He thought he was the hunter, that his seduction was flawless, and that as long as the factory manager was behind him, he would be safe. But what happened? Xiao Yan didn't care whether there was anyone behind you; he crushed you in the most brutal way when you were at your most confident.

"I...I got killed instantly?" iBoy muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

That was the bewilderment that followed when the pride of a prodigy was shattered head-on. He had always believed that as long as he had time to develop, he would have no fear of Xiao Yan. But now he realized that in front of Xiao Yan, he even needed the other's charity to qualify for development.
