Upon seeing PG lock Burial Sword, Fang Luofan’s mouth twitches. He really wants nothing more than to crawl through the Internet and give this bunch of bastards from his own family a good beating – What the hell are you stirring things up for?! Can’t you go one round without fooling around?!

This is because in his impression, Jing Yu is a player who will never use Burial Sword. Therefore, upon seeing Burial Sword, he leaps to the immediate conclusion that it is Qin Fei, who wants to use it.

It’s rare enough for Lilith and Satan to both be let out. Yet, you’re not picking either one of them and instead, you’re going for Burial Sword?!

What else can this be but them fooling around?

With that, his tone turns disconcerted as he remarks: 【PG unexpectedly locks Burial Sword. Are they intending to use him to solo-lane? They are very likely to use solo-laner demons to play the auxiliary. It’s only unknown whether they’re intending to emulate ANE’s two-point offense combat style.】

Yoyo is surprised: 【Burial Sword is usually used for jungling, right? Why do you immediately think that they’re using it as a solo-laner?】

Fang Luofan: 【Up to this point, PG’s Jungler has yet to use Burial Sword in a formal match even once. Therefore, I believe he’s very unlikely to use it.】

【Nh. Once you put it in that perspective, that really does seem to be the case.】As she says this, Yoyo is suddenly very intrigued about whether Goldfish normally uses Burial Sword in their training sessions, but in the end, she still can’t bring herself to ask.

On Kcc’s side, the moment they see their enemies lock Burial Sword, their hearts pound in their ears, but they quickly calm down – It’s okay. Not a single solo-laner demon was banned. Even if the Top Jungler is out of their grasp, they still have lots to pick from.

In the end, they lock Satan and True Arrow.

Yoyo: 【Kcc locks Satan and True Arrow. Satan can be used to solo-lane, as well as to jungle. Before Kcc picks a second solo-laner, this demon’s position can only remain a mystery. Meanwhile, if we’re talking about True Arrow, he is indeed the best one out of the remaining marksmen. This C-position demon is a must-snatch!】

Right then, PG instalocks Lilith and Death God – two solo-laning demons.

Fang Luofan: 【En?!】

Yoyo: 【Huan?!】

The Barrage: 【? ? ?】

Burial Sword should be the solo-laner. If you add Burial Sword to the count, PG has picked three solo-laner demons in one fell swoop!

Fang Luofan itches badly to set himself aside from the comments barrage by asking this one question: Excuse me, is there something wrong with your heads?!

Thankfully, he is a professional live commentator. He is able to cool his head briskly, and make an attempt at working out a line of reasoning from PG’s outrageous line-up: 【If they are going with this formation, Burial Sword should likely be used to jungle.】This act of swallowing one’s words certainly doesn’t feel good at all, 【Lilith must be used to solo-lane. Then, Death God should be the auxiliary.】

【In this round, PG’s line-up is a bit overbearing.】Yoyo can’t help exclaiming, 【The solo-laner, the jungler, the support. If they are not tanks, then they are warriors. If they open a team battle in the latter half, their defence and offense will simply defy the heavens**!】

(**break through the sky’s limit)

【Over on this side, Kcc picks Peacock Plume and Mad Bones.】Fang Luofan announces, 【Compared to Satan, Mad Bones is the better solo-laner. Therefore, no questions asked, Satan should indeed be used by the jungler.】

Yoyo: 【PG’s last two picks are Scarlet Fury and Chronos.】

Fang Luofan: 【Kcc decides on Sariel for their last pick. Speaking of Sariel, the blood-lock and speed-booster effect of his Ultimate is pretty handy. This is especially the case when it’s used on a demon with high base speed stats like True Arrow.】

Yoyo: 【Based on what you said, Kcc’s line-up does seem to make sense. As for PG…… 】

If not for his public image, Fang Luofan would seriously roll his eyes on the spot – PG’s line-up has never been tested by that bunch of rascals from his own family! Especially that Burial Sword. Fang Luofan has never seen Jing Yu use it in the least! Be it in their usual practice, or solo practice, Jing Yu has always made Frozen Heart his first priority when it comes to picking.

While he has certainly trained with Moonshadow Spider and Mandala Petals too, the time he spent with them is lesser than Frozen Heart due to time constraints.

But what about Burial Sword? He has never once used it before!

Fang Luofan seriously suspects it is that trouble-loving meddler, Ye Hong, stirring things up again. He must have said something to Jing Yu right before the match to cajole him into choosing Burial Sword.

Fang Luofan has arrived at the truth. However, he would never have thought – Ye Hong doesn’t hold one ounce of influence over Jing Yu. The one who sweet-talked Jing Yu into it in the end is still Qin Fei.

After Kcc locks Sariel, the countdown quickly comes to an end. Both sides enter the battlefield.

Despite switching up their line-up, PG’s game-plan remains the same old:

Jing Yu: “Fei Ge, I won’t be keeping an eye on the Top Lane.”

Qin Fei: “You never had to to begin with.”

Jing Yu: “Ye Zi, Mid-laner and Jungler co-op.”

Ye Hong: “Okay~”

Ye Hong answers him without thinking too much. He thought Jing Yu would be like in the previous few matches and dash to the Mid Lane only after killing all monsters in the Bottom Jungle.

Much to his surprise, his own Scarlet Fury’s 2nd ability has only just been refreshed when he hears Jing Yu’s calm order: “I’m here. Use your 2nd ability!”

“So fast?” Despite his complain, Ye Hong still charges straight at Peacock Plume and uses 2nd and 1st ability in a combo-attack. After Blood Entanglement CC’s the enemy in place, Blood Drain saps away a third of the enemy’s blood briskly.

Nearly at the same time, Burial Sword raises his 40-metre-long sword and Teleports over, unleashing his ability upon Peacock Plume to hack down madly at her!

When the CC loses its effect, Peacock Plume is left with only a thin skin of blood. Knowing that she can’t flee with Flash, she opts instead for an open attack with a combo-move where she stands. Yet unexpectedly, Scarlet Fury is slippery as a snake and evades it perfectly. After Burial Sword promptly and timingly forks out his Defend to tank the attack, quick as lightning, he swiftly counter-attacks!

The First Blood has been made!

System: 【Burial Sword, First Kill!】

System: 【The enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!】

Burial Sword immediately slips away after his kill. He Teleports through the walls and back to his own family’s Jungle, jungling at a scary pace and slaughtering all demons.

The audiences riveted to their screens are unable to snap out of it even after a while. A few minutes later, seeing as though Peacock Plume’s silhouette has darkened following her death, only then do they truly dare to believe the first blood has been made. At once, they begin spamming the barrage as though they’re crazed!

【HOLY CRAP! How many minutes has it been?!】

【Ye Zi, this sneaky snake! His motion-control’s far too 6!】

【How was Burial Sword able to grasp such good timing to tank? Is Goldfish a mind reader or what? 】

Yoyo wears a face full of incredulity: 【Huan? Has the first blood really been made? What just happened?】

Fang Luofan descends into a period of silence, then he replays the scene from just now, explaining at a sedate pace: 【Look here. After Scarlet Fury got his Lv. 2*, he immediately released his CC. And yet, right before this occurred, Burial Sword had already hit level 2 by killing a monster and was rushing towards the Mid Lane. In this particular gank, it was absolutely vital that Scarlet Fury gets his Lv. 2. Nonetheless, Burial Sword acted with the assumption that Scarlet Fury would get it for sure, hurrying to the Mid Lane from early on. From this execution, we can clearly see the synergy that exists between the members of PG’s team.】

(*Getting his Lv. 2 = Getting his 2nd ability)

Yoyo: 【Goldfish’s timing simply is enough to render anyone speechless! His timing when he reached the Mid Lane, his timing when he teleported over to Peacock Plume’s side, his timing when he used Defend to tank the damage – This player’s way too unbelievable! Each time the screen pans to him, I still think he is capable of reading minds!】

Fang Luofan: 【All of that should be attributed to his calculations. Goldfish, as a player, does indeed have strong tactical ability. Be it the timing at which Scarlet Fury gets his 2nd ability, or the timing at which Peacock Plume releases her ability, he seems to know everything as though they’re plain as day.】

Yoyo: 【Not to mention, Ye Zi’s sleek motion-control! That was remarkable too!】

Fang Luofan: 【En…… If we’re talking about PG, the first half of their games has always been outstanding.】

–The same can’t be said about the latter half.

Be that as it may, PG’s style has always been to – Bag the match within the first half! Never drag out the latter stage!

Up till this point in the Pro’s League, PG has indeed never once dragged out the latter stage. Every match sees them wrapping up within 30 minutes. In fact, there are even some that are settled in 20.

As for this particular match, Jing Yu intends to finish it off at the 20-minute mark: “Still recall the setting where the dragon refreshes early after pentakill?”

Upon hearing those words, Ye Hong nearly chokes on his spit: “Of course I remember…… Still, this is the Qualifiers. This isn’t that kind of veggie-abusing round from the Preliminaries. Don’t fool around.”

Words like “Don’t fool around” actually came straight from Ye Hong’s mouth…… Jing Yu truly feels a bit complicated: “Even if you say that, I used Frozen Heart in the Preliminaries. This time, I am using Burial Sword.”

Seeing as though Ye Hong might still not get his words, Jing Yu can only seriously add: “My Burial Sword’s smooth as heck!”

These words sink in. Ye Hong has yet to process them, but the side-viewer Qin Fei already can’t stand it and laughs out loud. He doesn’t have the slightest intention of discouraging Jing Yu, bolstering him on with an easy-going tone instead: “En. I know. Your Burial Sword’s smooth as heck.”

It seems Qin Fei intends to connive Jing Yu’s actions. Ye Hong furrows his brows.

As expected. Love truly makes a man go blind.

Little did he know, Qin Fei is so sure of himself because he has already solo-ed Jing Yu once with Burial Sword before he entered PG. And the end result was – Qin Fei lost.

Even if they didn’t reach the endgame, Qin Fei is still certain he wouldn’t have been able to turn the tables around.

Jing Yu’s strength is something that Qin Fei has experienced for himself. If not for that, the captain who has roared away countless junglers and solo-laners would definitely not have given Jing Yu the special treatment, smugly signing him up and never once hollering in his face.

Jing Yu may fool around, but even this fooling of his is done with absolute certainty of their victory. Therefore, Qin Fei has never worried in the slightest with him: “Go on. Carry us with a pentakill!”

Having received Qin Fei’s encouragement, Jing Yu’s expression instantly relaxes. Putting Ye Hong out of his mind, after he clears the Bottom Jungle of its demons, he promptly makes his Burial Sword dash towards the enemy’s Jungle.

No matter which demon it is, no one can play it well right off the bat. This fact is more or less true.

Therefore, even if he rarely uses Burial Sword, Jing Yu has still put in some effort into training with it.

Or rather, it will be more apt to say, it’s abnormal for any player in the jungler position to not have practiced using the Top Jungler to some extent.

He doesn’t know how Fang Luofan and the audiences before their screens react upon seeing him snatch Burial Sword. He only knows – Since I’m using the Top Jungler amongst all jungler demons, I will naturally have to live up to his name!

If he can’t even pentakill using Burial Sword, why even bother playing Frozen Heart?

Following this line of thought, Jing Yu can’t stop himself from quirking his lips in a simper: “Burial Sword is not called the Top Jungler of the game without reason. Now, I shall show you the correct way of playing Burial Sword~”

Here is it! His playful lilt’s back!

Ye Hong’s worries instantly vaporizes: “Alright. Let’s go wild. Fool around once, and you’ll feel gaily. Fool around always, and you’ll never stop being merry!”

Luo Yiming: “Hahahaha, you sure said it!”

Han Leng: “Go on, Goldfish! Make them regret not snatching Burial Sword!”

Thus, under the enthusiastic cheering of his teammates, Burial Sword dives into the enemy’s Jungle without the slightest remote hesitation.

Almost at the same time, the live-stream’s display cuts to the enemy’s Jungle. Upon spotting Burial Sword, Yoyo’s eyes widen to the size of dinner plates in disbelief: 【Burial Sword is counter-jungling!】

Mara: Luofan will have a heart attack at this point… Poor him….  Our feral puppy really knows how to lead the mood around, that Sassy Sue, love him!~~

Tama: (*艸) ‘Sassy Sue’! It’s also at this point that I realized the author doesn’t keep track of their own demons’ gender. (ㅇㅅㅇ) Peacock Plume is a gal. I remember because I fixed it 2 times. But this time, Peacock Plume suddenly received a gender change and turned into a dude. For consistency sake, I kept her a gal.
