** As Blue Brook lies in wait with rival guilds Herb Garden and Tyrannical Ambition so they can strike down Yagg and claim the boss' loot at the best opportunity, in comes Bao Rongxing with "Steamed Bun Invasion", who puts on an impressionable display of combat skills against Yagg, such that the guild leaders are surprised this newbie is lasting as long as he can, at least until Bao foolishly uses the Brawler-class skill "[[DrawAggro Slap]]", [[WhatAnIdiot leading Yagg to target only him]]. Fortunately, [[BigDamnHeroes Ye Xiu enters with Lord Grim and begins pummeling on Yagg]] so quickly, the Wild Boss can't counterattack.

** On a minor note, [[spoiler: seeing the other pro players and even the commentators show open disgust and condemnation at Sun Xiang humiliating and taunting Tang Rou by CherryTapping her repeatedly, shows the stark difference in mentality between Sun and the veteran pro players.]]

** Until Xiao Shiqin shows why he considered one of the 4 master tacticians of Glory, using a [[TakingYouWithMe self-destruct]] attack to wipe out 2 of Happy's players and almost take a third with him, and evening up the playing field. [[Spoiler: At the time Happy was losing in cumulative points, and had to win with at least 3 players alive in order to catch up on points. Killing all 3 players would have been an instant win for Excellent Era, and only the timely arrival of Ye Xiu to save Tang Rou prevented her death]].

* Ye Xiu's telling an embittered Excellent Era fan (who, to be fair to him, didn't know any better about why Ye Xiu really left Excellent Era) about how [=eSports=] entertains several fans and that the professional players appreciate their support doesn't automatically mean that they play for the fans, since first and foremost they play for themselves. While that might come off as too harsh, which both An Wenyi and Wei Chen point out. Ye Xiu's response is an unexpected RousingSpeech that can [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings resonate with anyone who's stressed between doing what they love for themselves and doing it to please those who are more likely to complain about their efforts instead of appreciating it]].

* After a brief, yet memorable scuffle with Lord Grim by using Plantago Seed's same-named avatar, Captain Wang Jiexi of Tiny Herb sends his professional players to find and kill Lord Grim on the tenth server, as he's been causing so much trouble for Herb Garden (while simultaneously getting them to train with Ye Xiu). The pros are naturally confident and smug since they believe Lord Grim is nothing, but just another random player, until Lord Grim easily blocks their attacks with barely any movement and proceeds to utterly dominate their failed ambush.
** Besides Wang Jiexi, the only other player from Tiny Herb who manages to make a good impression on Ye Xiu is Qiao Yifan, who the former commends for his keen observation skills and map awareness in the midst of the fight. Keep in mind that among Tiny Herb, Yifan is seen as the weakest, who's relegated to that of a reserve player and errand boy for the rest of the team, but to the "[[RedBaron Battle God]]" himself, he's definitely far from that.

** Credit goes to Tang Rou during this StoryArc, who winds up deducing that Ye Xiu is the Battle God simply by figuring out who the players behind "Cleansing Mist" (Su Mucheng) and "Flowing Tree" (Huang Shaotian) avatars are. Not even the many guild leaders, who've played Glory for much longer than her and have repeatedly interacted with him beforehand on the tenth server, were able to catch even the smallest of hints of Lord Grim's real identity.

* With his newly-created avatar "Lord Grim", Ye Xiu smugly allows "Sleeping Moon" to die from the "Midnight Phantom Cat" boss in the Main/NoobCave after ousting his plan to hoard all the loot comes to light. Afterwards, Ye Xiu effortlessly kills the boss while setting the first of many records on the tenth server.

** Credit goes to Tang Rou during this StoryArc, who's the first person outside of pro players and the top guilds to deduce that Ye Xiu is the Battle God simply by figuring out who the players behind "Cleansing Mist" (Su Mucheng) and "Flowing Tree" (Huang Shaotian) avatars are. Not even the many guild leaders, who've played Glory for much longer than her and have repeatedly interacted with him beforehand on the tenth server, were able to catch even the smallest of hints of Lord Grim's real identity.

*** Making Dragon Raises Its Head even more of a SignatureScene for ''The King's Avatar'', pro players from Sun Xiang to Yu Wenzhou of Blue Rain to Zhou Zekai of Samsara are dumbfounded upon realizing who the person playing for Tang Rou is all along; even Han Wenqing is furious to discover his rival has been in the stadium all this time, to the point where he demands event organizers show who's been competing at the booth, only to find an empty seat (Ye Xiu has left the stadium at this point). Meanwhile, the audience in the stadium are awestruck as they repeatedly chant "YE QIU!"; [[HesBack the Battle God has returned]].

---> '''Ye Xiu''': "With your poor attitude, don't play Glory. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mario]] or VideoGame/{{Galaxian}} might suit you better."

* Due to 301 Degrees being AdaptedOut, Blue Rain takes their place in trouncing Excellent Era in the match.
** Initially, things look bad for Blue Rain after Sun Xiang {{CurbStomp|Battle}}s part of their team in the 1v3 Individual Challenge, but the team completely turns it around using Yu Wenzhou's "Box One" tactic, where they isolate Sun Xiang from the rest of Excellent Era, leaving the remaining four completely vulnerable.
** According to Ye Xiu, it was Wenzhou's plan to have Blue Rain lose purposefully for the Individual Challenge as it will [[ArrogantKungfuGuy inflate Sun Xiang's ego, making him easier to aggravate during the 5v5 Team Challenge]]. Naturally, to achieve the latter, Blue Rain has Huang Shaotian, whose {{Trash Talk}}ing isn't infamous for nothing.

* For the past episode and the first half of this one, Ye Xiu's party is in a tight spot since they're separated and out-numbered by seven of the major guilds on the tenth server, yet each one of them easily gets through their obstacles. How?

** Despite being told to stay within Kongee City's limits (as [=PvP=] cannot occur there) after losing her Soft Mist's orange-tiered weapon to Chen Yehui, Tang Rou decides to head back out to the field, only to be ambushed ten-to-one by the enemy guilds. However, recalling Ye Xiu's advice for the Battle Mage-class, Tang Rou fights off all her attackers, even using a skill that strikes them all down in one fell swoop.
* The fight between the future Team Happy (plus [[GuestStarPartyMember Huang Shaotian]]) and the remainder of the seven guilds still alive on the tenth server during this episode: while they initially plan to retreat by logging out at a blind spot on the map (courtesy of Luo Ji), Tang Rou stays behind to dish out some payback against her ambushers that led to her losing her orange-tiered spear. Again, the collective guild members outnumber Ye Xiu's party roughly three-to-one; they're also running low on {{Hit Point}}s and {{Mana}}. Upon asking his team if they all want to help Tang Rou get her weapon back, none of them have any objections, as they rush towards their attackers, beating all of them down simply with skill - their numbers ultimately don't matter.
** The icing on the cake is Tang Rou taking {{Revenge}} on Chen Yehui: recall that in this adaptation, Yehui was on Excellent Era's roster before Ye Xiu retired and had him demoted to guild duties. Nevertheless, Yehui remains a formidable player, giving Tang Rou some trouble at the start, such that Bao Rongxing wanted to help her, but Ye Xiu pulls Bao back to let her handle it on her own. Tang Rou outplays Chen Yehui at every turn and overwhelms him into defeat, all while using a stock spear (since Yehui took hers), reclaiming her orange-tiered spear. [[UnflinchingWalk The party walks back to Kongee City with no one impeding them like the badasses they are]].

* Just like the ''donghua'', the 6th All-Star Competition potrays the same event, though the live-action pulls a few twists to give noteworthy moments a different brand of awesome.
** Han Wenqing telling Sun Xiang that while he did well in using One Autumn Leaf's skills, he's nowhere near as proficient as Ye Xiu, who wouldn't have made any mistakes. Unlike the ''donghua'', Wenqing is saying this on a microphone rather than privately in ''SP''; he even calls out Xiang's earlier boast before the match. To reiterate, everyone in the stadium hears Han Wenqing's live roast.
*** Bonus points also goes to Chang Xian (Sleeping Moon's {{name|dByTheAdaptation}} for this adaptation): since the media is present in the stadium, they're allowed to question players post-match. Xian, an amateur reporter in the drama, posits an ArmorPiercingQuestion towards Sun Xiang in the form of "Are you even taking competitive Glory seriously?" after the loss. Xiang is incensed at the question that it appears he wants to tear Chang Xian's head off, but the latter stands firm with his query, leading to Han Wenqing answering in Sun Xiang's stead, yet subtlely puts him in his place in the Alliance just like the ''donghua''. Sure, Chang Xian may be biased because he's a {{Fanboy}} of Ye Xiu, but his question is a legitimate one when Sun Xiang has yet to show he can be a worthy successor to One Autumn Leaf and Ye Xiu's legacy in the league.
** Due to the absence of Samsara's players (except Zhou Zekai, but even then, he's only referenced by name), Tang Rou's match in the fan vs. professional event goes to Li Rui, an Excellent Era reserve player. Like Du Ming, Rui doesn't take the game seriously, mistaking Tang Rou for an amateur, but instantly pays for it when Tang Rou starts giving him a CurbStompBattle. However, unlike Du Ming, Li Rui has no chance throughout the match to recuperate, leading commentators to state how Rui looks like the amateur, whereas Tang Rou plays like a pro.
** Unfortunately, Tang Rou's performance is undone because of an interfering Sun Xiang, whose ego is getting the better of him by heading to Li Rui's booth secretly and playing in his place; the difference between Tang Rou and Xiang is evident. Having seen enough of Xiang humiliating and taunting his disciple as the match devolves into nothing more than bullying, Ye Xiu decides to do the same as Xiang by playing for Tang Rou secretly, giving viewers a prelude to their inevitable match-up down the line.
*** Capping off the All-Star Competition for the drama is Sun Xiang unleashing Rising Dragon Soars The Sky at the same time as Ye Xiu; although both miss their mark, Xiu follows it up with the SignatureMove Dragon Raises Its Head. The latter happens so fast that everyone in the stadium, including the commentators, need a slow-motion instant replay to confirm that's what really occurred. Unlike the ''donghua'', none of the pro team captains are panicking about who's playing behind the stage, because they already know full well who is capable of pulling a stunt like this. As the competition draws to a close in the next episode, they're collectively glad to know he's back on the scene.

[[AC: Episode 15]]

* The steps necessary to completing the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella. Normally, in order to enter the Heavenly Domain, players have to kill all the monsters in the dungeon so the Tower of Babel will open its doors to them. However, if the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella so much as even touches any of the monsters there, it will ''[[WreckedWeapon break]]'', leaving the only viable option to reach the Heavenly Domain by way of climbing the tower on the outside. This final task forces Ye Xiu to use everything he knows, using every form of Myriad Manifestation Umbrella, in order to climb the tower without letting so much as a single monster touch him, all within ten minutes. And the best part? ''He succeeds''.

** Tang Rou's fight against Li Rui. Because she's mistaken to be just another noob, Li Rui doesn't take the fight that seriously... and he pays for it dearly when Tang Rou starts curb-stomping him thanks to both her high APM and everything that Ye Xiu taught her. Had Sun Xiang not intervened, she would have won the match.
** Ye Xiu's usage of the technique ''Dragon Raises Its Head'', and bonus points for using it not against another Samsara player, but Sun Xiang himself. And unlike in the ''donghua'', none of the team's captains are panicking about who's playing behind the stage... because they already know very well who it is, and they're glad to know he's back on the scene.
