Mulan’s move was actually rather clever—he chose to flash away, clear the minions to reach level four, then switched to his heavy sword and used his second skill’s damage, which did indeed drain a considerable amount of health from my minions.

But unfortunately for him, I was even more meticulous. Even when my minions were struck by his area damage, I maintained the defensive position of my turret, Mulan, and myself—a straight line of defense!

In this way, I unconsciously mitigated most of the damage!

In Lin Hao’s streaming room, after hearing such an intricate explanation, many viewers had an epiphany, instantly grasping the nuances of playing Meng Tian.

“This Meng Tian is savage—learned a lot!”

“Ah, this is the difference between buyer’s display and seller’s display. Every time I watch a streamer play, I feel like I understand, but my hands tell me I’ll never get it.”

“Hao’s attention to detail is something I’ll never master; all I can do is mimic his ultimate taunting style, hahaha.”

“Originally, seeing the streamer play so brilliantly, I wanted to open a match as Meng Tian myself, but thinking it over, the credibility points matter more.”

“Hao: Mulan, you really thought you could take on five at once? Hm? How dare you?”

Lin Hao saw the barrage about one-versus-five and burst out laughing.

“That’s right—Meng Tian’s early game is all about showing the momentum of fighting five at once. After all, it’s a brawl; being timid won’t cut it.”

While Mulan was respawning, Lin Hao stepped out from the turret to poke the river crab.

He stayed in defensive stance, auto-attacking until the river crab fell, bringing Meng Tian’s health back to two-thirds.

Then, Lin Hao returned under the turret and collected a health pack, restoring himself to full.

That’s Meng Tian’s sustain!

However, the top lane was already collapsing across the board.

Lin Hao, having just solo killed Mulan, hadn’t paid attention to the top lane.

When he shifted his perspective back, Nakoruru had secured another double kill.

This time, Agu Duo and Yu Ji had fallen.

The top lane turret exploded simultaneously.

Yu Ji managed to exchange for a Liu Chan, but given the overall situation, it was still a heavy loss.

It seemed Nakoruru made a quick retreat, while Liu Chan once again used a flanking strategy.

Moreover, the opposing midlaner Angela was relentless, letting the second wave of minions through, lying in wait, and repeating the maneuver for another kill.

Although Lin Hao couldn’t see the whole situation, he could infer most of what happened.

“So this is the control of a champion jungler?” Lin Hao mused, impressed.

Even though Wen Yang on the bottom lane had never bothered with him, Lin Hao could feel Wen Yang’s oppressive presence from afar.

Less than three minutes in, the opponent’s development lane turret was already pressured and destroyed.

Their marksman was completely shut down.

Truly impressive skill!

“Yu Ji is going to rot in the cell!” Lin Hao sighed. “Looks like we need to hurry and crush Mulan, otherwise when Nakoruru finishes her second jungle rotation and swings over to our lane, it’ll be much harder to fight.”

Meng Tian’s ultimate refreshes quickly in the early game, about thirty seconds.

Now, Lin Hao still had priority in clearing the lane. After dealing with the wave, he triggered his ultimate again.

“Army, form ranks!”

Another fair five-on-one brawl!

Lin Hao pushed under the turret!

Laughing, Meng Tian activated his wild goose formation and began stabbing at the turret.

When the weakened turret was reduced to only a third of its health, Mulan finally reappeared.

This guy had once again gone to the mid lane to help Angela clear a wave while Lin Hao was pushing.

Mulan threw a dart, and Lin Hao dodged outward slightly.

Then he thrust his spear!

A critical hit!

Mulan’s health dropped by a quarter.

That critical prompted Lin Hao, who was about to retreat, to pause. His mind raced.

“Nakoruru is in poor shape, and the others are barely hanging on. They should be recalling near the top lane.”

“Even if Nakoruru rushes straight down, avoiding the minimap’s vision, she still can’t reach the mid lane yet.”

“So, it’s only Mulan here fighting alone.”

“Go for it!”

Meng Tian scuttled back in crab step, charging in again!

He maintained wild goose formation, gathering power!

Mulan, seeing this, switched to heavy sword and began charging up as well!

They began their duel!

Lin Hao struck first, thrusting his spear!

Then he continued to charge up!

After a tense second, Mulan’s fully charged heavy sword slashed Meng Tian, delivering a shocking 601 points of damage!

Wild goose formation, defensive stance, frontal block, and charged up—this was Meng Tian’s strongest damage reduction!

On the health bar, it barely made a dent—not even a fifth!

Now it was his turn.

“Ha!”

Meng Tian thrust his spear, perfectly timing it as Mulan’s heavy sword landed, causing Mulan’s health to vanish, leaving only a sliver!

Finally, Meng Tian used his first skill to bash, then quickly stabbed without charging, and Mulan fell again!

Another blatant turret dive and kill!

“Mulan’s rage value +700!”

You could see, Mulan’s heavy sword charge was well aimed, hitting both Meng Tian and the minions, and managed to clear the wave.

But it didn’t change his fate—Meng Tian pinned him inside the turret and stabbed him to death with no minion wave.

“Whoa!”

“This is insane!”

“Is Meng Tian cheating?”

“How can Meng Tian be so fierce? He fights Mulan’s heavy sword head-on and doesn’t lose health?”

Even the calmest fans couldn’t sit still, flooding the chat with question marks.

“I told you, Meng Tian’s damage reduction is terrifying. Compared to me, Mulan’s attack is just a drizzle.”

“Of course, I mainly won this round with superior attention to detail. When Mulan’s heavy sword skill was charging, I struck first, then charged myself. That gave me enough time to wait for him to fully charge and hit me, then counter with another spear thrust.”

“Block his strongest hit with maximum damage reduction, then strike when he’s most vulnerable.”

“And another thing—Mulan isn’t building any armor at all, as if he’s completely disregarding me, so naturally he’s going to take a beating.”

Lin Hao had been watching Mulan’s build—it was just a Black Cleaver component and boots.

He knew Mulan’s plan was to avoid dueling Meng Tian, clearing waves when they reached the turret, and mostly heading mid to help the bomb cat, so there was no need for armor.

He just didn’t expect Lin Hao’s Meng Tian to be so fierce, diving the turret and crushing him twice in a row.

After killing Mulan, Lin Hao pushed the lane again.

With the next minion wave, he tore down the turret.

Thus, the bot lane’s tempo was restored.

Just then, Agu Duo at the bot river was ambushed by Angela and Nakoruru, instantly giving away another kill.

“Ah, I wanted to warn him.”

Lin Hao sighed in regret. His top-tier game sense told him Wen Yang’s Nakoruru was about to sweep over, likely targeting him, so Lin Hao planned to leave first.

He just hadn’t expected his teammate to be so clueless, as if lining up in the river to hand Wen Yang free kills.
