Chapter 150: Operations at the Level of AI Luna
Page 1/3
Yet, the venerable master on Lin Hao’s side staggered forward to stand before Golden Cicada, the ruler in his hand striking first against him. Golden Cicada’s health was rapidly dwindling, but with the master’s ultimate ability still unused, even though Wei Liang was in good form, he dared not recklessly close in for damage.
At that moment, the fencer Charlotte swept past from the riverbank with her first skill, then dashed forward with her second, arriving right behind the master. At level four, he had failed to steal the master’s advantage earlier, arriving a step late, but now the timing seemed perfect.
Wei Liang’s eyes lit up; he saw the opportunity. With Charlotte assisting in dismantling the fire, the two of them killing the master was no problem. However, Lin Hao’s Luna, striking twice through the wall with basic attacks, then a strengthened strike through the barrier, marked the Blue Buff.
Luna struck again with a basic attack, drew close to the Blue Buff, and with a third skill slide, despite having only about a third of her health remaining, she boldly continued her maneuvers.
Wei Liang, seeing Lin Hao’s Luna daring a counterattack, quickly abandoned his plan to dash in and kill the master. After repositioning once more, he charged straight at Luna with his first skill!
Lin Hao lightly moved his fingers. As his first skill brushed past Charlotte, an ultimate skill shot out again. For a moment, Wei Liang’s Mirror chased from behind, while Lin Hao’s Luna flew ahead. Initially, Mirror could have easily finished off Luna with a first skill followed by a basic attack, but Luna managed to evade most of the damage!
Mirror’s first skill hit, but the sharp basic attack missed. Anxious, Wei Liang intended to break through and continue pursuing Luna. Yet, what greeted him was the master’s merciless ultimate.
“Tightly bound!”
The spot where Lin Hao released his first skill was the narrow passage above the Blue Buff. The skill hit Golden Cicada, who was low on health, and also struck Charlotte at the passage’s end.
He flew twice in succession, controlling the distance perfectly, using the marks on Golden Cicada and Charlotte to instantly retreat from the battlefield once more.
Still, even so, this in-and-out strike caused considerable damage.
After binding Mirror, the master used his first skill to simultaneously pull Mirror and Golden Cicada close, then hammered away wildly, finishing Golden Cicada first.
As for Charlotte on the opposing side, seeing Luna flying away hesitated briefly, then turned to focus fire on the master.
Chasing Luna uncertain if she could be killed, from Charlotte’s perspective Luna hadn’t lost her ultimate. Meanwhile, on the front lines, since the master was entangling her teammate, dismantling the fire was the priority.
Right now, the most comfortable damage dealer on the field was Xinran’s Xi Shi, though she wasn’t dealing much damage at the moment.
Lin Hao watched the frontline scene with three fingers poised.
The battle was fiercely heated.

Though fierce, the master was knocked airborne by Charlotte’s combo and suffered an attack speed reduction debuff.
Wei Liang’s Mirror, though out of position, still dealt respectable damage.
Lin Hao observed while flanking, taking a few seconds to reach the Lizard Pit. A basic attack hit the lizard, followed by his first skill marking it, and then marking the lizard, Mirror, and Charlotte.
At this moment, the master finally succumbed to the focused fire of two enemies, falling first.
Wei Liang’s passive triggered perfectly; after using his second skill to swipe and finish off the master, he refreshed his first skill and immediately turned back, targeting Luna near the Lizard Pit!
Then Lin Hao’s top-tier prediction came into play again.
His ultimate skill pulled backward. Luna was knocked airborne, flying out of the Lizard Pit, landing just across the wall in the upper lane area.
The ultimate’s distance was controlled impeccably — not too far, just over the wall.
Wei Liang’s first skill followed by a basic attack landed directly on the lizard, finishing it off!
Another prediction!
“Anger +300 from Wei Liang.”
But it wasn’t over. Lin Hao used his third skill to pull Luna back once more. Luna’s ultimate hit Wei Liang!
Before Wei Liang could react, Lin Hao’s second skill sucked in, marking Wei Liang once again!
Then continuing to fly, this time toward the lower area — Xi Shi’s position!
Lin Hao felt Charlotte’s skills might be ready soon. Though his first skill had just marked Charlotte, it was better not to provoke her.
Yet Charlotte aggressively pursued, releasing her second skill near the fountain, hitting Xi Shi beside Lin Hao!
Still no hit on Lin Hao!
Looking at Wei Liang’s Mirror and Charlotte’s positions, Lin Hao, originally intending to break the ultimate and fly toward the high ground, suddenly changed tactics.
Luna took flight again, hitting Charlotte before her mark vanished, quickly following with a basic attack and a strengthened strike, marking Charlotte once more!
While controlling Wei Liang earlier, Lin Hao had canceled animation delays with basic attacks during the two flights near the wall opposite the Lizard Pit, accumulating two basic attacks.
Finally, two rapid flights, at Charlotte’s location, the ultimate flew toward Mirror, then another ultimate pressed, passing directly through the Blue Buff area!
Mirror fell!

At this moment, Luna’s ultimate was nearly depleted of both health and mana — truly at the edge.
Charlotte, having just hit Lin Hao with her first skill, attempted to chase using her speed boost, but Xi Shi’s well-timed first skill pulled her away twice in succession.
It’s fair to say that Xi Shi’s earlier failed ultimate cast was a setup; these two pulls effectively removed half-health Charlotte from the fight, denying her any opportunity to secure kills.
“Well pulled!” Lin Hao exclaimed.
Charlotte’s pursuit was formidable; even with Luna’s two-phase ultimate flight escape, she could easily be caught.
“That was truly impressive!” Xinran said excitedly. “Should we call it a triangular kill?”
Indeed, in the final move, Lin Hao skillfully used jungle monster respawn to refresh skills, flying out to dodge Wei Liang’s burst, then back in, weaving rapidly between Wei Liang, Xi Shi, and Charlotte’s positions, completing a swift triangular repositioning. Luna then escaped with her ult intact, using the last bit of damage to kill Wei Liang.
This was arguably the pinnacle of human Luna gameplay.
Xinran almost became Lin Hao’s little fan, and he shyly scratched his nose: “It’s alright…”
Yet Lin Hao’s livestream chat was livelier than ever, flooded with “666” — the Chinese expression for “awesome.”
“Lin Hao’s play this round feels like AI Luna!”
“Technique suppression for sure.”
“The one being operated on is Wei Liang! Haha, Wei Liang ended up just a background player.”
“Tomorrow’s Penguin Highlights will surely include this play, right?”
