    Title: The King's Return 王者重临
    Author: Die Zhiling 蝶之灵
    Raws: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=1797238

    Original Summary:
    天才电竞选手遭受磨难后没有放弃梦想,重返联盟,再创辉煌的故事。
    The genius of the e-sports world was unwilling to give up their dream, returning to the e-sports alliance and creating a brilliant story after suffering.

    主角为双子星秦陌、肖寒。游戏背景《独步江湖》是作者原创的武侠网游,八大门派、十六种玩法、几十种江湖秘籍和特色的竞技模式,欢迎大家进入全新的竞技网游世界。
    The protagonists are the "twin gemini stars" of the e-sports world, Qin Mo and Xiao Han. The setting of the game [Peerless Jianghu] is based off the author's original wuxia online game. Eight big occupations/sects, sixteen play methods, dozens of jianghu secrets and characteristics of the competitive mode, welcoming you to join a new competitive online game world.

    Brief Summary:
    After suffering a career-impacting injury, Qin Mo recovers enough after 3 years to take a chance at entering the competitive circle again, joining a new VR-based game that has just launched. He runs into his old rival & best friend Xiao Han on the new game's first server, and they reunite to build a team, aiming for the top of the gaming world!

    Lots of unspoken/tacit understanding, sweet moments, HE. No real 'rivalry' or jealousy, the angst or drama comes from the competition environment, not the characters themselves.

    The book is really good on it's own, but even better if you've read the previous two. The two main characters are the 'disciples' of the two main characters from God Level Summoner, and because it's a new game, there's a lot of young competitors coming in from various games that have links to popular characters from both book 1 & book 2. Lots of gaming gods from the previous two books also make cameos and you get to see what their lives have turned into after gaming retirement.

    Third in the gaming series, second book in the series is being translated by Rainbow Turtle here: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/god-level-summoner/ & spoiler thread

    gong is Xiao Han, shou is Qin Mo.. it's the reverse of their shifus in God Level Summoner. The ML from that story lamented about it for a second in the story too :blobcheeky:

    which two? a few "possible couples" ended up staying ambiguous towards the end. but from book 2+3 together, all the side pairings are:


    note: this has spoilers from BOTH books!

    God Level Summoner
    Chen Wei x Tan Shitian
    - Crazy Cat God fanboy and his captain from Time Team
    - Chen Wei is the shou, Tan Shitian is the gong

    Zhang Shaohui x Lou Wushuang
    - The assassin brothers, Zhang Shaohui is the pretty clueless one and Lou Wushuang is the captain of their team
    - They're distant distant relations and possibly not even blood related
    - Zhang Shaohui is the gong, Lou Wushuang is the shou

    Su Guangmo x Yu Pingsheng
    - A'shu (Xie Shurong's) apprentice-brothers
    - Su Guangmo is the captain of Feiyu (Flying Feathers?) and Yu Pingsheng is the vice-captain
    - They're the ones that travel everywhere, basically Su Guangmo travels and just takes Yu Pingsheng with him, Yu Pingsheng is the super introverted one that only says one or two words at a time
    - Su Guangmo - gong, Yu Pingsheng - shou

    Bai Xuan x Xie Shurong
    - they finally get official!
    - Bai Xuan - shou, Xie Shurong - gong

    The King's Return
    Qiu Zongping x Yuan Xi
    - Qin Mo trained up a few successors before he left the Wind Color team, these two are from that group
    - Qiu Zongping became captain, Yuan Xi originally had beef with Qiu Zongping and wanted to make his name in Peerless Jianghu instead, things happened, and Qiu Zongping also left Miracle, becoming the captain of the Peerless Jianghu team
    - Drama happens because Yuan Xi gets a crush on Qiu Zongping and it gets exposed mid-season, but Qiu Zongping didn't feel the same way (...yet. muahaha)
    - Qiu Zongping - gong, Yuan Xi - shou

    Chu Yan x Zhu Qingyue
    - Characters from GDS!!!!
    - Zhu Qingyue is the little 'cry bag' from GDS that started crying after being beaten by Cat God, captain of Pure Cleansing (the support-focused team) while Chu Yan is/was the vice president of the team, they have/had a Shifu/Apprentice relationship
    - In TKR timeline, Chu Yan retired and disappeared from Zhu Qingyue's life for three years, Pure Cleansing due to being unable to gain victories in that period of time has disbanded
    - Qin Mo & Xiao Yan recruit Zhu Qingyue to join their Peerless Jianghu team, things happen & Zhu Qingyue/Chu Yan meet again
    - Originally Chu Yan always loved Zhu Qingyue, but because of the fact that he was Zhu Qingyue's shifu and basically watched him grow up, he felt it was too taboo and disappeared three years ago...
    - Chu Yan - gong, Zhu Qingyue - shou

    San Jun x Chu Jianxin
    - Captain & vice-captain from Huaxia Team in Peerless Jianghu, they are in the same 'group' as Miracle's Time team
    - Chu Jianxin is talkative but semi-useless captain, San Jun is the vice-captain that's effectively a captain
    - San Jun has liked Chu Jianxin for a long time - in the novel it's funny because San Jun will say very normal things in response to Chu Jianxin's gushing, but his internal dialogue is very different. like:
    Sang Jun smiled and said, "What are you doing, being so polite with me?"
    Chu Jianxin said stubbornly, "I have eaten and lived in your house for most of the month. The money I brought to Suzhou this time hasn't even been spent much. Don't be polite to me. I'll buy you something useful. What do you want?"
    Sang Jun thought, what I want most is you.

    - San Jun - gong, Chu Jianxin - shou

    Li Muran & Shen He
    - Two young teammates from Qin Mo's team
    - Li Muran was originally in the training camps and got selected, he plays 'agility-based' healer, Shen He is a little genius summoner-type player that Qin Mo found in the game
    - Qin Mo arranged from them to room together because Li Muran is not talkative while Shen He talks nonstop. they develop a friendship and send eachother redpackets on wechat to encourage eachother for winning/losing throughout the game (it's cute)
    - Li Muran - gong, Shen He - shou

    Lin Shuangcheng x Song Changdong
    - Lin Shuangcheng is the captain of another team in Peerless Jianghu, Song Changdong is their new amazing player that joined due to a recommendation from Qin Mo, he was originally from the same training camp as Li Muran but didn't fit into Qin Mo's team build
    - Their team & Qin Mo's team are on good terms, Lin Shuangcheng is filthy rich, his team was built for fun and so he's not crazy about winning - just staying in the league is enough for him
    - Throughout the story Lin Shuangcheng basically takes Song Changdong around and supports him as he grows
    - Lin Shuangcheng - gong, Song Changdong - shou

    Finally this novel got translated! So far, there are two chapters released, so might as well revive this thread for some spoilers if anyone has some.
    Translation: http://www.oyensblog.com/2019/05/kings-return-chapter-01.html

    Now we just need someone to pick up the first novel of the trilogy... *prays*

    Anyway.. The career-impacting injury QM got, is it related to his hands or fingers? From the first chapter, QM is completely relying on finger sliding. Like what happened? How did he cripple his fingers to the point where he can't perform his usual fast APM?

    What are the gaming gods from book 1 and book 2 doing?

    Thanks for telling me! Although it doesn't seem like we'll get any updates on it soon, since there are many other novels being translated at the same time. ^^; Guess we'll have to wait patiently..

    I’m not sure if you’ve continued MTLing to find out for yourself... but I finally have the answer! :D
    They are indeed related. Qin Ye is Qin Mo’s little uncle. Qin Mo both respects and fears this little uncle of his because Qin Ye had bullied him when young. And he can’t talk back to Qin Ye’s poisonous mouth.

    I really loved their relationship in the novel! Ling Xuefeng was rather hurt that Qin Mo never told him the reason why he suddenly left the professional league, hurt that Qin Mo so easily cut him, his master, out of his life.

    Qin Mo on the other hand greatly respects (and fears) Ling Xuefeng. He didn’t want to disappoint Ling Xuefeng, he didn’t want his master to pity him. He also believed that his master was angry at him for leaving and failing to meet his expectations when Ling Xuefeng was more hurt and angered about Qin Mo cutting him out of his life.

    Luckily, Qin Mo finally learned that his master was never angry at him for that. He still fears him, but he’s now aware that he has a really good master who is constantly watching over him and trying to protect him as much as possible.

    Ling Xuefeng is the protective papa that keeps on assessing Xiao Han the moment he realizes their relationship. And just like Qin Mo, Xiao Han respects and fears this man. Like he would try to drag Li Cangyu out to pacify Ling Xuefeng first before doing or saying anything. But seriously, Ling Xuefeng makes sure that Xiao Han will treat Qin Mo like royalty. He makes sure that Xiao Han can cook, clean, etc to serve, dote, and spoil Qin Mo as much as possible. He even makes Xiao Han promise him that he will treat Qin Mo like the world. But even then, Ling Xuefeng barely gives him a passing grade.

    So.... Qin Mo and Xiao Han get together. A question that is often asked is “how far have you guys gone?”

    Obviously, only kissing. So, they’re still pure. Thus.... Our beloved Cat God took the opportunity to pull out a hard drive full of information to teach Qin Mo (Ling Xuefeng disapproves but Cat God already gave it to Qin Mo).

    Li Cangyu actually also told Xiao Han to look at the hard drive as well, but Xiao Han didn’t need to because he looked at gay porn many times and did research already.

    On the other hand, Qin Ye personally pulled Qin Mo away to personally give him a lecture on toys, positions, etc.. very explicit lecture.
