Chapter 928: Ruler of Esports 42

The NDF team was already frustrated, but the one truly shaken was Lin Haiyang, who was watching the match through the livestream.

He had played Luban No. 7 before. Long-distance snipes and stealing objectives weren’t impossible.

But those moments were based on luck.

What Tang Wan was doing wasn’t luck.

From the start of the match until now, not a single one of her second-skill shots had missed. Every angle, every timing—it was deliberate and precise.

That wasn’t coincidence. That was mastery.

And that was what unsettled him the most.

Before they broke up, Tang Wan hadn’t even touched Honor of Kings. She had even urged him to quit gaming and focus on studying.

Yet in less than half a year, she had gone from that… to standing on a professional stage, completely dominating.

It was something he had never imagined.

Meanwhile, after securing the Dominator, Tang Wan regrouped with her teammates and prepared for a team fight.

As soon as the clash began, Xiang Yu and the frontline immediately positioned themselves in front of her, creating a safe output environment for her Luban.

Tang Wan didn’t hesitate.

The moment she opened fire, Luna—who had rushed in to target her—instantly lost half her health.

Sensing danger, Luna tried to retreat by dashing through minions.

But Fan Tong reacted faster.

Controlling Xiang Yu, he shoved Luna straight into the wall along with a nearby minion.

In the next second, Luban’s passive triggered.

A burst of damage.

Then—

A perfectly timed second skill.

Two kills secured in an instant.

The opposing assassins and fighters were left speechless.

No game experience at all.

Was this really the same short-legged Luban everyone knew?

But for the audience, it was exhilarating.

Ten minutes into the game, the first match ended decisively.

As the crystal exploded, the TG team members couldn’t hide their smiles. Compared to last week’s difficult group stage, this match had been unexpectedly easy.

After a short break, the second round began.

Due to tournament rules, previously used heroes could no longer be selected. This time, the opposing team did not ban Zhuge Liang.

That decision cost them.

Tang Wan locked in Zhuge Liang—and crushed them again.

By the third round, she switched to Li Bai, delivering yet another flawless performance.

At this point, no one dared to question TG’s decision anymore.

If anything, not letting Tang Wan play would have been the real mistake.

After securing the clean victory, Fan Tong stood up and pulled Tang Wan into a tight hug.

“Wan Wan, you were amazing!”

Even if it was just a group-stage match, her performance had been nearly perfect.

Tang Wan smiled softly. “Isn’t it thanks to your support? Without you, Tongtong, I wouldn’t have played this well.”

Fan Tong grinned, clearly pleased. “That’s what they call husband and wife joining forces—invincible together. When two hearts unite, even gold can be cut…”

“Hey, hey!” Tiger cut in immediately, rolling his eyes. “Don’t act like we don’t exist.”

“Exactly! Do you have any shame?”

“Showing off your relationship on stage—have some mercy on us!”

Fan Tong glanced at them lazily and smirked. “You’re just jealous because I have a girlfriend.”

Then he added, completely unapologetic, “I have one. You don’t. That’s why I can show off.”

The rest of the team fell silent, their expressions twisting.

They were just about to gang up on him when staff called them over for post-match handshakes.

Fan Tong shot them a look before heading over with the team to greet their opponents.
