Chapter 919: Ruler of Esports 33

When viewers saw Tang Wan lock in Sun Shangxiang, the chat immediately became lively.

“This is the first time I’ve seen the anchor play Xiangxiang!”
“Xiangxiang is my main—now I’m curious how good she is!”
“Wait… she has that skin? I’m jealous!”

It wasn’t just one skin either—Tang Wan had multiple premium skins for Sun Shangxiang.

Of course, the original host had never bought them. Tang Wan had simply asked Little Cutie to unlock everything for her, including inscriptions. Otherwise, just preparing a full set would have cost a fortune—and right now, she had no intention of wasting money on cosmetics.

Soon, the match began.

Tang Wan chose Sun Shangxiang’s “Doomsday Mecha” skin. The moment it appeared on screen, it looked sleek, sharp, and imposing.

Among players, there was a well-known saying—Sun Shangxiang without skins and Sun Shangxiang with skins were practically two different heroes. And among all skins, the Doomsday Mecha version felt like an entirely separate tier.

The animations were smoother. The attack range felt longer. Everything just clicked better.

In short—

Doomsday Mecha Sun Shangxiang was simply stronger.

…

After entering the game, Tang Wan headed straight to the bottom lane with Fan Tong’s Taiyi.

They quickly cleared the first wave of minions, then moved toward the river monster.

The enemy laner had picked Kai.

Seeing them contesting the river monster, Kai chose to stay near his tower and clear safely.

A few seconds later, Tang Wan secured the river monster. Without hesitation, she rolled forward with her first skill and fired a sudden shot at Kai.

A chunk of his health disappeared instantly.

The second wave of minions arrived.

After clearing it cleanly, Tang Wan positioned herself precisely at the edge of the tower’s attack range, then launched another quick poke under the tower.

Kai’s health dropped again—now down to barely half.

At this moment, their minions entered the tower.

With minions tanking, the tower wouldn’t target heroes unless they attacked first.

Tang Wan calculated quickly, then said decisively, “Tong Tong, let’s dive.”

“Got it,” Fan Tong replied.

He immediately moved in, using Taiyi’s first skill to close distance and his second skill to stun Kai.

At the same time, Tang Wan rolled forward again. Her burst damage landed cleanly, leaving Kai with only a sliver of health.

Then—

She released her second skill.

A crisp hit.

Kai fell.

First blood.

Because Taiyi had engaged first, the tower’s aggro locked onto him. After taking a hit, he retreated smoothly, while Tang Wan rolled out of range just in time.

A perfect execution.

…

At the same time, on the other side of the map, Qiqi had reached level four after clearing her jungle.

She moved to gank the enemy marksman.

The opponent was using Yu Ji, whose second skill could nullify physical damage. The moment Li Bai approached, Yu Ji activated it and retreated, completely avoiding the burst.

Without securing the kill, Qiqi had no choice but to disengage.

Just then—

The system announced:

First Blood—Sun Shangxiang.

Qiqi’s expression tightened slightly.

Even though they were on the same team, her previous loss to Tang Wan still lingered in her mind. Seeing Tang Wan take the lead again made her feel a trace of irritation.

But she was still live.

So she quickly adjusted her tone and said with a light laugh, “Wow, looks like her Sun Shangxiang is just as good as her Han Xin.”
