Chapter 466 - It’s Not That You’re Too Weak, but I’m Too Strong

I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 466 It’s Not That You’re Too Weak, but I’m Too Strong

“Gotcha!”Hearing Ye Lingchen’s instructions, Xiang put his heart to it. Gritting his teeth, he decided to go all-in and engaged the opposing team.

Earthshaker’s skills were a combination of damage and crowd control. He aimed them all straight at Zeus.

Potato was on the same lane as Xiang. He too went in with abandon, unleashing all the skills he could onto Zeus.

As expected, Earthshaker howled skywards and fell to the ground unwillingly.

However, under such a serious struggle, Slardar and Zeus had their hit points significantly reduced. Zeus had only one-third of his hit points remaining.

Ye Lingchen once again adjusted his camera angle over the fight, then casually placed a Sun Strike near Zeus.

Sun Strike: Causes massive damage within the area of the spell. Global casting range. Two seconds delay.

The skill has high damage, but it was a delayed skill. Unless the opponent stands still, it would be very difficult to predict the position to hit. Under normal circumstances, the casting of this skill would be very much calculated.

Instead, Ye Lingchen had only given it a quick glance and immediately went off with the skill, as though he did not care for the results at all.

However, two seconds later—

“Ah!”

Wu’er’s scream could be heard. She was surprised by the Sun Strike that appeared out of nowhere as she watched Zeus going into respawn cooldown. She was completely flabbergasted.

“OMG, that’s amazing…”

“This Sun Strike is just too accurate. Isn’t that just too decisive?!”

“What’s the matter? Zeus’ positioning was not predictable at all. He was randomly walking around, yet he got hit.”

“That’s just too amazing. That person did not even look carefully and casually placed the skill.”

“Could it be luck?”

Everyone was stunned by that maneuver. At first, they thought that the five hosts would bring them surprises. Unexpectedly it was the maneuver of this random person that brightened their eyes.

Exchanging one life for another. To Ye Lingchen, that was a profitable exchange. After all, the four he was carrying were all rookies.

After getting a kill, Ye Lingchen did not purchase any equipment that boosted his stats. Instead, he bought Hand of Midas.

Hand of Midas: Cooldown 90 seconds. Target non-hero unit, obtain 190 gold.

Strictly speaking, it was an item purely used to farm gold.

That item caused everyone to have a confused look on them. ‘Such a weird item build. Is that to help in late game?’

Coold had also noticed Ye Lingchen’s item purchase. Her eyebrows twitched lightly. Such abnormal item purchase reminded her of someone. She then announced, “Carl purchased a Hand of Midas? He did not even buy boots!”

Her teammates quickly understood Coold’s intention. Love Letter, who was using Tidehunter replied, “I’m on my way.”

Soon, Tidehunter stealthily hid himself in the shadows along the middle lane. Just as Carl was up closer to the frontline, he rushed out from the shadows and immediately used a slow debuff on him!

Slayer was already in position. As she planned to chain her skills on Carl, she took the riskier position.

Nevertheless, when faced with the ambush, Carl showed no signs of retreating. Sun Strike was placed right under Slayer’s position. Right after that was a Chaos Meteor, followed by a Deafening Blast!

Three skills had seemingly appeared at the same time. In an instant…it exploded!

Boom!

Slayer was decimated in an instant. She was taken out straight away after using only one skill!

“T-t-this speed. That’s too monstrous!”

“OMG, how did he do it? Is it possible to change skills instantly?”

“My goodness, is he hacking? Getting ganked by two hosts yet he managed to take one out instantly?!”

“This is an expert. At first, I thought my 20 years of celibacy allowed me to develop my undefeatable Kirin’s arm. Today I’ve learned something new.”

With only two moves, it made the five top hosts and the crowd realize that Ye Lingchen was not just a random passerby.

Coold and her team were also getting more serious.

“The other four are his weakness!” 09’s situational awareness kicked in as he voiced his opinion.

Following that, Ye Lingchen did not move anywhere. He continued to dominate the middle lane and continued to grow patiently. Just the money he earned from getting last hits were sufficient to stun the viewers.

“F*ck, Ye’zi, they’re coming after me again! This Slardar is like a rabid dog,” Xiang mumbled, then looked at the opponents rushing at him, passing through the tower directly!

“Use all your skills!” Ye Lingchen calmly instructed without even taking a look at the battlefield.

After Xiang’s death was announced, he finally took a glance at the battlefield and saw a near-death Slardar disappearing from the line of sight. The corner of his mouth curled up into a mysterious grin.

Under the watchful eyes of the viewers, he chose to place Sun Strike right in the middle of the opponent’s fountain!

Normally, that was the location when someone teleported back to base!

The next moment—

Slardar appeared, and Sun Strike exploded right at the same time! Slardar had fallen right at the fountain!

[Carl is on a killing spree!]

“F*ck! That godly prediction. That’s the predictive power of a god! Such blinding brilliance.”

“How did he know that Slardar would return to base, and at that exact moment?”

“Getting killed at the fountain. That must be the most upsetting death that the host faced, right?”

“I’ll rate this maneuver at 82 points. The remaining 18 points I’ll give it in the form of 666.”

“Such blinding brilliance. This random person’s skills are way stronger than the hosts. He’s just too amazing!”

This time the whole crowd erupted. They were utterly shocked by such powerful visual effects.

Everyone was having heated discussions with reddened faces. Their gazes at Ye Lingchen were all glowing. That random player was too amazing. He was worthy of being the king of pub players!

“F*ck! This guy is definitely someone sent over to hunt down our hosts. Those skills are beyond words. This time we’re in for a good show!” The crowd was all boiling with excitement, watching the match with rapt attention.

They did not expect a friendly match to have such a scene. It was really surprising. Quite a number of people had even rushed over after hearing the news, causing the gathering of people to increase in size.

“This person is very strong!” Little Guai exclaimed. He couldn’t help muttering, “I’ve only felt this oppressive feeling from our big boss.”

His big boss was naturally Y-God.

The listener might take things to heart despite the intention of the speaker. Coold and Wu’er’s hearts skipped a beat. Their gaze focused on Ye Lingchen, as though trying to see right through him.

The match continued.

The five hosts turned a lot more cautious. They started to take things slow and steady. Under such circumstances, Potato and the gang were quickly blasted away. They contributed eight kills to the opponents, averaging two each.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen had finally bought his first equipment for killing, Eul’s Scepter of Divinity!

“Carl has left the middle lane!” 09 warned. He was keeping an eye on Ye Lingchen’s whereabouts.

“F*ck! He’s here!” Wu’er was playing Spectre and was farming in the jungle area. Ye Lingchen’s sudden appearance surprised her to the point that she unleashed some vulgarities. The next moment, Specter was sent flying by Eul’s Scepter of Divinity.

Sun Strike was placed right under Spectre, followed by a Chaos Meteor and Deafening Blast. Ye Lingchen did not even bother to check the final results, nonchalantly turned and left the area!

Following that was the announcement of Spectre’s death.

[Carl is dominating!]

Eul’s Scepter of Divinity could toss someone in the air for 2.25 seconds, nicely synergizing with Carl’s Sun Strike delay of two seconds. A simple triple combo that allowed him to take out someone instantly!

Casually taking down a hero, then leaving confidently just like that.

That maneuver had almost everyone taking notes. They just realized that Carl had such a powerful synergy with Eul’s Scepter of Divinity!

“This kind of tide-turning item purchase and skillful maneuver…could it be our boss?” 09 was starting to get suspicious.

Next, along with Carl’s item coming together, the entire battlefield turned into Ye Lingchen’s personal show. He would kill wherever he went, taking out whoever that was in his way. Scepter, Sun Strike, Chaos Meteor, and Deafening Blast. A brutal yet simple four-hit combo with explosive damage!

When Ye Lingchen had a seven killstreak, achieving the Wicked Sick status, he finally managed to purchase the item for Carl to undergo a qualitative change, Aghanim’s Scepter!

Originally, Carl’s skill swap had a cooldown. However, with this item, the cooldown for the skill swap would be greatly reduced. All 10 skills could be unleashed within 20 seconds!

Along with Ye Lingchen’s speed, one could imagine how monstrous that would be. Nobody was able to stand up against him!

Coold and the gang’s nightmare arrived at that moment. Almost as soon as they appeared in front of Ye Lingchen, they would immediately be helplessly beaten down. A myriad of skills could overwhelm them, not even allowing them to move an inch.

Most importantly, Carl’s skills were mostly area of effect type. Even if they grouped up, they would still be led along by the nose. Nobody could tell when some skills would just come out at them from some unknown direction.

In other words, skills were flashing about all over their screens.

Furthermore, with the threat of Sun Strike, they would be forced to take awkward positioning at times. They felt a mountain’s worth of pressure on their backs!

A single Carl was able to utterly crush Coold and her team. Putting others aside, Carl’s unique maneuver was monstrous. First, he would send you flying, then freeze, following that he could push you away while preventing you from initiating any attacks. The play style was just too trollish. It made them grit their teeth in frustration.

“Nightmare. This type of Carl is a nightmare! If he’s my opponent, I will definitely have a mental breakdown.”

“Why do I feel that Carl’s skill has no cooldown when that person is playing it? He could just throw a bunch of skills out at any single time. It’s just too crazy!”

“Five hosts teamed up and had their ass handed to them by a random player. Can you believe that?”

“His finger speed is unrivaled. To swap skills at that speed, isn’t he afraid of maiming his hand?”

“That’s just as good as one against five, and that’s one person defeating five hosts all on his own! This must be a dream!”

“You look at the expression of the hosts, so dark. Wahahaha…”

The result of that match was inevitable. However, Coold and Wu’er stood up immediately right after the match and shot their gaze towards Ye Lingchen. However, Ye Lingchen was one step faster, already leading his team away from their seats and headed towards the exit.

Along the way, Potato and the rest did not say a single word. Their brains were still all buzzed up and their faces flushed with excitement. They had somehow just won a match against their idols?!

That was just unbelievable. It was something they could show off for life!

Ye Lingchen lowered his head, then took out his phone. He first sent a message to Song Qian, then went into Y-God’s Weibo to post a status. [Don’t be disappointed. It’s not that you’re too weak, but I’m too strong. After all…it’s impossible for my Carl to lose!]

After that, he took a picture of the anime convention and uploaded it along with the status.

At the same time, the emcee received a phone call. Following that, the big screen that was still showing the game suddenly changed into Y-God’s Weibo space!

On it was the latest update that Ye Lingchen just posted, displayed for all to see…
