In less than five seconds, Si Fuqing killed all five opponents, wiping out the entire team.
The victory announcement sounded, and the healer, with her cute, loli-like appearance, jumped up joyfully again.
The five members of Peak team stared at their darkened computer screens, unable to react.
ââ¦â
The entire venue fell into dead silence.
Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
The commentator stared dumbfounded at the big screen, stammering, âOur spokesperson⦠wiped out the entire opposing teamâ¦â
The female commentator was equally shocked, almost speechless, âOh my God, the first pentakill of this OPL! The first one! Si Fuqing, this name is destined to go down in OPL history!â
This comment finally snapped the audience out of their shock.
[Damn! A pentakill! Even Kill couldnât do it!]
[Put âSi Fuqing is awesomeâ on the screen! Today we have to praise her; no words are too much!]
[Let me explain to casual fans the difficulty of a pentakill in professional matchesâ¦]
Achieving a pentakill in a professional match is vastly different from doing it in a regular game.
In regular matches, getting a pentakill is already brag-worthy on the global channel, but itâs unlikely youâd face five professional players at once.
The Peak team was ranked tenth in the world, with all players having APM above 400. Si Fuqing managed to defeat five of them on her own.
At this moment, any comments about âSi Fuqing lacking esports spirit and disrespecting the competitionâ vanished completely.
This was absolute strength.
She proved that she could determine the outcome of the match without needing any fame.
âOur spokesperson is truly powerful.â The commentator snapped back to reality with a prompt from the backstage, âWe understand that Miss Si Fuqing was injured while rescuing someone before the match, and many are concerned about her condition. On behalf of her fans, I extend our best wishes.â
âThank you for your concern.â Si Fuqing took off her headset and stood up, âI was fortunate to meet a miraculous doctor. My hand has fully recovered. I also want to thank my teammates for their support and trust, allowing me to devise our strategy. Todayâs victory was a team effort.â
She waved to the audience with a slight smile, her eyes filled with confidence and brilliance, âWe are the Five States team of the Great Xia Empire. See you in the finals.â
âSee you in the finals!â
âFive States team! Five States team!â
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
Everyone was ecstatic.
âAh! Uncle Nine, Qingqing is so cool! Iâve decided to be her wife fan! How is she so awesome!â Yu Tang exclaimed, holding her face in excitement.
Yu Xiheng heard her and then glanced at her emotionlessly.
Yu Tang instantly quieted down, covering her mouth and whispering, âJust for a few days. I promise I wonât betray you, Uncle Nine!â
Yu Xiheng didnât continue the topic but asked, âHow did you sleep last night?â
âVery well, even without the air conditioner, it was cool,â Yu Tang replied, puzzled. âIs there something wrong?â
Yu Xiheng sighed, âNothing. Itâs good. After the match, letâs head back quickly. Donât go out alone. Call me if anything happens.â
Yu Tang felt she couldnât keep up with Yu Xihengâs intellect.
She took out her phone and secretly asked Lu Xingheng for help.
[Lu Xingheng]: â¦
[Lu Xingheng]: Your uncle means, itâs good that youâre a pretty but clueless beauty.
Yu Tang was furious.
[How dare you call me clueless? Iâm not talking to you anymore!]
[Lu Xingheng]: â¦
He felt exhausted; so be it.
In the individual competition, Si Fuqing didnât participate. The Five States Team achieved three wins and two losses, advancing to the next round smoothly.
After the match.
Si Fuqing returned to the hotel. âBrother Nine, how was it? Was I impressive?â
Yu Xiheng looked at her âseeking praiseâ expression, his eyes softening with a faint smile.
He handed her a bottle of cola, never stingy with his compliments. âVery impressive.â
âDid you place your bet?â Si Fuqing asked, holding the ice-cold cola. âI calculated it clearly. The funds should have multiplied several times.â
Like soccer matches, each OPL round had its betting pools, down to specific roles and kills.
Si Fuqing had specifically asked Yu Xiheng to bet on her achieving a pentakill as a healer, with odds of 500 to 1.
âI did,â Yu Xihengâs eyebrows raised slightly, smiling. âThe staff just called, asking the lady to take it easy.â
Si Fuqing propped her chin. âAlright, then Iâll place bets again during the finals.â
She truly was a genius at making money.

Si Fuqingâs name appeared on social media platforms worldwide.
[Damn, I was at the scene. I was already stunned when she got a triple kill. She was up against professional players!]
[Iâm really looking forward to the championship.]
[Could Si Fuqing be the best healer? But I remember the best healer is in an Eastern Mulberry team.]
[While other stars are trying to gain international recognition through acting and works, our girl Si Fuqing first steps into the spotlight with her gaming skills. As expected of you, Si Fuqing.]
The Oracle forum exploded repeatedly. Major teams started to list the Five States team as their top adversary, preparing strategies against Si Fuqing overnight.
The Western Deities team was no exception.
Jing Zhou and Jiang Changfeng were already rare esports geniuses, but they hadnât made the Western Deities team feel this threatened.
Hunter frowned, repeatedly replaying the footage of Si Fuqing killing the five members of Peak team. The more he watched, the more astonished he became.
âWhatâs wrong?â Kill noticed, speaking coldly, âScared already? The five from Peak team were half-dead. You could have gotten a pentakill too.â
âNo, I just feel her combat style is very familiar.â Hunter took a deep breath, his voice trembling. âCaptain, she resembles NINE too much. Could she be NINE?â
A few days ago, he encountered NINE in the arena and was instantly killed. Even after watching the replay, he couldnât figure out NINEâs combo.
As expected of the heaven of Oracle.
It made him lose the will to challenge.
âHow could that be?â The vice-captain laughed. âIf she were NINE, why play the healer? She would use the swordsman. Besides, how old was she when NINE played Oracle?â
âShe was nine. The captain was twelve when he joined the youth training team. Thereâs no way Si Fuqing could be NINE.â
Esports prodigies show their talent early. Kill was one such prodigy.
He joined the Western Deities team youth training at twelve and reached the challenger rank in the arena the same year.
There were prodigious esports players as young as nine, but reaching NINEâs level was impossible.
Hunter opened his mouth. âBut Iâve analyzed it, and sheââ
âNo need to analyze.â Kill interrupted, âThe ages donât match. Itâs impossible. I saw it; when she killed two opponents, the Peak team was already disorganized, leading to her pentakill. The Peak teamâs mentality was too weak. That wonât happen to us.â
âAlright, Hunter, if she really were NINE, why wouldnât she use the swordsman?â The vice-captain shrugged. âIt canât just be for money, right?â
Hunter felt relieved.
NINE had left such a shadow on him that his hands trembled whenever he saw a swordsman.
If Si Fuqing were NINE, there was no point in even trying to compete.
**
The first round of eliminations ended quickly, with twenty-four teams advancing to the next round.
The second round of eliminations still used a draw system, with the same rules.
The team drawn against the Western Deities team also came from the Western Continent.
At the hotel where the esports players stayed, a training room had a sign reading âPhoenix Fire.â
Phoenix Fire was another strong team from Eastern Mulberry, named after the mythical creature in their folklore, representing death.
âThe good news is we didnât draw the Western Deities team.â The captain said, âThe bad news is our opponent in the second round is the Five States team. Last time, they wiped out the opponents without their two strongest players. Weâre on par with Peak team, so weâre bound to lose this match.â
The Five States team was a new team in this OPL. Before Si Fuqingâs pentakill, they werenât considered a tough opponent.
Few esports players made a name for themselves in a single OPL match; only Kill had done it before, and now Si Fuqing.
Phoenix Fire didnât want to face the Five States team, but bad luck led to this draw.
âWhat do we do now?â A team member frowned. âIs there any way to make the Five States team lose to us?â
The training room fell silent.
A young man who hadnât spoken suddenly opened his eyes, smiling faintly. âItâs simple, just ensure their main players canât participate.â
The captainâs eyes lit up. âRight, Chiya, you come from the Takizawa family and are skilled in the power of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The Peak team has already lost; we canât afford to.â
Takizawa Chiya nodded. âLeave it to me. Iâll teach them a lesson.â
This was Eastern Mulberry, the domain of Masters of Yin-Yang.
Ghosts roamed, and darkness lurked.
On their turf, even if the Five States Team were dragons, theyâd have to bow their head here.
