Ethan Carter saw that the support in the bottom lane had suddenly disappeared from the lane for over 40 seconds, and the ADC was frantically using abilities to clear the wave. He typed to his teammates: "The enemy might force us to fight for dragon in 20 seconds. VN, watch your positioning. Thresh, consider engaging first. If the opportunity isn't good, Lux, hold onto your Q and don't use it."

"Roger that."

"1."

Sure enough, Gangplank also disappeared from the lane. He had already used his teleport earlier in a rush to catch a big wave under the tower. Ethan Carter still had his teleport, so he calmly cleared the wave and leisurely attacked the tower. With his current attack power, taking down the tower was a breeze. Before Gangplank could even reach mid, the minion wave had already reached the enemy's inner turret. Looking at the two and a half waves under the inner turret, Gangplank felt like he'd just eaten crap—he almost wanted to use his ult to clear the wave.

"Lux, fall back!" Ethan Carter typed. He could tell from Lux's positioning that something was off. How could she just walk straight into the river at this time? The enemy was all active in that area!

Just as he finished typing, Lux was instantly taken down by a flash yellow card from Twisted Fate, a double barrel from Gangplank, and a Q from Lee Sin.

"Forcing the game to be harder, huh..." Ethan Carter smiled helplessly, but it was fine—they'd fight on all the same!

Their ADC Vayne, support Thresh, and jungler Amumu were caught in a tough spot. Seeing only three left, the enemy chose to engage directly, and Gangplank used his ult to cut off their escape!

Riven's teleport lit up behind Gangplank—she was choosing to flank the enemy with her teammates!

Thresh's Q, Death Sentence, hit the advancing Lee Sin, but he didn't dare to follow up with the second Q. Instead, he immediately activated his ultimate, The Box, to block the enemy's advance. VN kited from the back, dealing damage to the frontline.

"Do you want to win?! Then follow me—fight them!" Ethan Carter wore a determined expression. In my life, I've never backed down!

Amumu saw Riven's message and seemed inspired, decisively Q-ing back in. It was as if Amumu's voice echoed through Summoner's Rift: Where are we going? Come play with me! So sad! Let me give you a hug! Hahahahaha! Embrace death! He activated his ultimate—Curse of the Sad Mummy!

"Awakened"—Riven's broken blade shone with dazzling light. Upon landing, her unstoppable momentum was just like the vow the Exile once made to the wind: When the broken blade is reforged, the knight shall return.

Ethan Carter quickly approached the battlefield. The first cast of Broken Wings—this is my resolve.

The second cast of Broken Wings—this is my conviction.

And in the next moment...

Yes, that's right. Please, keep fighting me. I'm back, and you're all going to die.

Flash! E—Valor!

Did you... see your own deaths?

The third cast of Broken Wings—this is a kind of faith! Riven's reforged blade, at a miraculous angle, slammed into all five enemies within Amumu's ult range. At a speed invisible to the naked eye, she auto-attacked the Gangplank with the lowest HP, followed up with Ki Burst, and unleashed her ultimate—Blade of the Exile!

I've wandered for so long. It seems all my friends in the League have forgotten me, but today, you witness my return.

Pentakill!

"This... must be the most brutal Riven engage I've ever seen. Using the third Q as the initial CC, maxing W, then following up with the ult to clean up everything..."

"Riven... is a kind of faith!"

"I don't even know why I'm suddenly tearing up..."

...

"God, you killed me after promising you wouldn't... Add me as a friend, you owe me compensation." Alice Green typed cutely.

"Okay."

Henry Thompson stared at the chat on the screen, feeling stung: "I'm done! Can't play anymore!"

The game ended at 19 minutes. Henry Thompson gritted his teeth and opened the report option: "Dear Hero Star, the moment I saw the ID 'What are you looking at' in this match, I knew we were going to lose. This ID seriously affects the experience of all comrades fighting in League of Legends. I strongly recommend a ban!"

"Hahaha, I gotta hand it to this Lee Sin!"

"666!"

Henry Thompson forgot that this match had so many spectators—even his first-person view was being watched...

This report quickly blew up the entire platform and became a joke.

Chapter 15: Awakening Skill

Ethan Carter didn't have time to look at the comments on the streaming platform. In the night sky, an invisible starlight shone down on him. He instinctively understood that his rank power had settled at level 1 again. Although he still had no rank, his physical abilities were already at Silver 5 level. What does Silver 5 mean? It means that even some official students at the War Academy are only Silver 5! And to advance from Silver to Gold, you need to slay a large number of demons to collect demon souls!

The promotion matches in this world aren't as easy as people imagine. You have to challenge higher ranks! For major rank promotions, you must win three out of five matches against higher-ranked opponents, or else Alice Green and the others would have advanced long ago. That's why they're still accumulating match experience at Bronze 1.

Ethan Carter's promotion speed is unimaginable for normal people. This growth rate is truly terrifying. What will happen when he finally finishes his placement matches?
