Chapter 1366 No Love Left

Without a Knight's Provocation or similar forced aggro skills, it's impossible to suddenly transfer aggro. Over-aggro (OT), or loss of aggro control, also has certain rules. It's not simply a matter of your damage exceeding mine in a single hit, causing the aggro to immediately shift to you. If that were the case, two characters could create a back-and-forth aggro situation by repeatedly attacking from a distance, effectively toying with the Boss to death.

The aggro settings are clearly not that idiotic. To OT, the aggro overflow needs to reach a certain percentage. From this, it's clear that Mu Yu Orange Wind's sudden aggro steal was a prepared move.

Seeing Mu Yu Orange Wind pull the Boss away, Steamed Bun Invasion and Deception followed closely. Lin Jingyan was helpless because Ye Xiu stood in his way.

Soft Mist, a Battle Mage, in Ye Xiu's hands, was by no means something Lin Jingyan could easily dismiss. In the blink of an eye, Ghost King and the three from Happy disappeared around the corner of the corridor, while Lin Jingyan's Dark Forest Thunder was still struggling under Soft Mist's continuous attacks.

For him, the important thing was to find out where the Ghost King had gone. But to do that, he had to first accomplish the first point: defeat Ye Xiu.

For Lin Jingyan, this wasn't an entirely impossible task. Over his career, the two had clashed countless times, and Lin Jingyan had a few victories under his belt. But each time was extremely difficult. He could potentially defeat Ye Xiu, but he could never quickly and decisively crush him.

What's worse, in the current situation, Ye Xiu was taking the initiative while he was passively taking hits. Thinking about defeating Ye Xiu at this point was a bit much; just holding on would be a good outcome.

Continuing to fight would not end well.

Lin Jingyan had already calculated everything clearly. So, the only thing he could do was to rush past Ye Xiu's blockade at all costs and see where the Ghost King went.

Just as he was thinking this, Ye Xiu suddenly stopped his offensive.

Soft Mist took several consecutive back jumps, actually creating distance.

Lin Jingyan was surprised, and then he saw Ye Xiu position Soft Mist in the passage.

The original battle with the Ghost King was in a relatively spacious area, probably some kind of underground tomb. But the passage at the other end of the tomb was not so wide. When Ye Xiu placed Soft Mist there, Lin Jingyan could only think of one phrase: "One man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot pass."

"Hehehe, what to do? Can't get through," Ye Xiu said cheerfully.

"Ye Xiu, you're shameless!" From Dark Forest Thunder's side, a voice sounded a bit distant. With his experience, Ye Xiu knew that someone next to the operator was shouting into their headset.

"Whose team's player is so ill-mannered?" Ye Xiu asked.

Actually, he recognized the voice: Zhang Jiale!

Zhang Jiale had already been eliminated, but he was still concerned about the battle. From Lin Jingyan's screen, he saw the current situation and knew things were going to go bad. Even if Han Wenqing and the others arrived and ganged up to push Ye Xiu down, they wouldn't know where the Ghost King was and would have to search again. By that time, the Ghost King would probably have already been killed by the three from Happy.

Zhang Jiale had truly become a screenwriter this time.

Lin Jingyan tried to break through a few times, but Ye Xiu didn't engage with him too much, just stubbornly guarding the passage and preventing him from passing. Lin Jingyan charged a few times without success, nearly getting killed in the process.

Next, Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie, and Qin Muyun arrived one after another. Four against one, the outcome was obvious. This time, Ye Xiu didn't try to escape, just desperately resisted, but was quickly taken down by the four.

But next, where was the Ghost King?

The four chased forward, and the fork in the road quickly appeared, breaking their hearts.

"Give up!" At this time, Ye Xiu sent them a message on the world channel!

Until the very last moment, Tyranny was still unwilling to give up, searching separately. In the end, they only found the system notification.

Deception's team successfully killed the Ghost King.

The announcement was for the whole world. Online players were in an uproar when they saw the news.

Although they weren't qualified to participate in this special event, they knew that all the participants were professional teams, sending out professional players, including Tyranny with its luxurious lineup of the Four Heavenly Kings.

And they didn't know exactly what was happening in the Hundred Ghosts Den competition, but in the end, the team that successfully killed the Ghost King was Deception's team? Deception's team was Happy, wasn't it?

Was Happy really that strong?

Discussions arose everywhere.

Obviously, in the players' eyes, a grassroots team like Happy was still relatively weak. Otherwise, their victory over Excellent Era wouldn't have been called a miracle.

But after defeating Excellent Era, Happy actually won in such a competition, and against Tyranny... Miracles are called miracles precisely because they are extraordinary. Frequent occurrences cannot be called miracles.

Happy defeated Excellent Era, and now they've won against Tyranny in such a competition?

Not only Tyranny, but also Wind Howl, Misty Rain, Royal Wind... These teams shouldn't be ignored.

Everyone was mulling over the meaning of this, and even some media outlets had left.

During the summer break, there were no matches to write about, so the number of topics naturally decreased. Publications like *Electronic Athletics Weekly*, which focused on reporting Glory matches, would shrink in size during this period. Even so, everyone had to rack their brains to find topics. The most worthwhile topic in the summer was, of course, transfer information, whether completed or just rumored. Reporters and editors would treat it like a treasure and write about it extensively. But this alone wasn't enough to fill the pages. After all, transfers either happen or they don't, unlike the league, which is stable and consistently provides ten matches every week, rain or shine.

So, the media had to find material elsewhere, and the Glory online game naturally became the obvious choice. Gossip news from the online game usually had a section in *Electronic Athletics Weekly*, but when there were no matches to write about and no major news to report, the online game section could be expanded.

Eleven normal servers, plus the Heavenly Domain, with tens of millions of players, the online game world is filled with all kinds of strange and scandalous news every day. Using the online game to fill the pages, as long as you're willing, there's definitely enough material to turn the weekly into a daily.

But as a professional electronic sports media, *Electronic Athletics Home*, still hoped to collect the most high-end content possible.

Professional players working or training in the online game during the summer break could certainly be considered high-end content. In previous summer reports, some professional players were discovered playing online games and reported as diligent and upward-moving examples.

And this year, it was even more lively, especially with the opening of the Summer Carnival event. The professional players of the major teams directly entered the game with their main characters, which was rare.

So, this week's two issues of *Electronic Athletics Weekly* would focus on reporting the performance of professional players in the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade. Many reporters opened their game characters, rushed into Excellent Era, contacted guilds, or found channels to directly contact the players, paying attention to their performance.

And this night, the event actually produced a special event, and five teams were suddenly involved in direct competition, and the reporters were already waiting for the results to come out to ask questions.

The one who finally killed the Ghost King was actually Happy? The reporters' professional sensitivity told them that there must be many twists and turns in this, and they were all excited.

They followed the five teams participating in the special event. Those who had friends among these professional character players quickly discovered the teams' defeat from the characters' logout sequence.

Because after exiting the Hundred Ghosts Den, these players all went offline directly, so the reporters couldn't interview them in the game. Outside the game, the obvious choice was QQ and other chat tools. These teams all had reporters from *Electronic Athletics Weekly* following them, and these reporters who were familiar with the teams basically had the players' QQ accounts. However, whether they were online or would reply after being asked was another matter.

After all, it was just an online game event, not particularly sensational news, and there was still time before publication, so the reporters weren't in a hurry. If they could contact them, they would ask; if they couldn't, they would pay attention to other resources.

Soon, a reporter saw the latest Weibo post from Fang Rui on his Weibo.

This Weibo post was sent from a mobile phone after Ghost Haunt went offline.

The Weibo post had only three words: "The weather is changing." Then, it was accompanied by a sighing and melancholic emoji.

Under the Weibo post, a group of fans lined up and formed a团 (tuán - group). They couldn't make too many comments on these three words, mostly just teasing like "Fang Da, be careful, it's raining, bring in the clothes."

But reporters are so sharp-eyed that they inevitably think more about what they see. Especially the resident reporter in Wind Howl, who was from the same city as Fang Rui. When he saw "the weather is changing," he subconsciously checked the city's weather forecast. The next few days were sunny with no clouds, and the weather was extremely stable.

Even if it was observing the heavens... The reporter looked out the window at the sky. It was pitch black, and there were no particularly unusual signs at all!

Combined with Fang Rui's sighing and melancholic emoji, the reporter faintly felt that these words were meaningful.

The reporter patiently flipped through the comments under the Weibo post. This was a lot of work. Fang Rui was also a star-level player with a large number of fans. Shortly after the Weibo post was sent, there were already hundreds of comments. It was fortunate that the content of this Weibo post was too simple, and many people may not have known what to say, so they didn't reply.

The reporter patiently flipped through them. Since Fang Rui was a "wretched" (weisuo) great god, his fans were naturally all wretched types, and all kinds of strange and weird replies emerged, which was quite an eye-opener.

However, starting from the homepage, after flipping through only a few pages, the reporter found another clue.

A fan, probably noticing that Fang Rui was in a bad mood, asked in a very ordinary way, "What's wrong, Fang Da?"

It was this comment that received Fang Rui's reply.

Four words: "Tired, no love."
