Zhou Zekai/History

Volume 4: All-Star Weekend
In the last Rookie Challenge Competition match, Zhou Zekai fights against his own team’s rookie. Zekai easily defeats his fellow teammate. Zekai thanks the crowd. After waving to the crowd, he leaves the stage. Later, he attends the press conference. Zekai answers the questions with quick and short responses, which do not satisfy the reporters. In a roundabout way, Zekai chooses the 4 random audience members to play with him in the Hurdles event.

Zhou Zekai and a few pro players join the audience members in the Hurdles game. Zekai rushes out in front with his Aerial Fire. Zekai wins the Hurdles event. With Du Ming repeatedly dueling Tang Rou, Zekai tells other professional players that he has no idea on what is going on. Zekai does not know Du Ming’s opponent is Ye Xiu. Zekai sees that Du Ming is completely suppressed.

On Day 3, Zhou Zekai, Samsara’s ace player, is the first player to walk onto the stage. Zekai is captain of Team A, which includes Jiang Botao, Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, Yu Feng, Chu Yunxiu, Li Hua, Tang Hao, Zou Yuan, Sun Xiang, Su Mucheng, and Yang Cong. Zekai gives over the team captain role to Wenzhou, who is one of the Four Master Tacticians and an amazing shot caller. For Team A’s Team Challenge, Zekai joins Mucheng, Wenzhou, Shaotian, and Yunxiu with Jiang Botao as the substitute.

Zhou Zekai’s Cloud Piercer fires at Wang Jiexi and Deng Fusheng. Zekai switches targets to Li Xuan’s Crying Devil. With Yu Wenzhou's Swoksaar, Zekai suppresses Li Xuan’s Crying Devil to death. Zekai uses Random Firing to split up the enemy team surrounding Wenzhou. Zekai uses Delivery Gun to knock up Wu Yuce’s Carved Ghost. Zekai keeps attacking Wu Yuce until Deng Fusheng’s Angelica jumps in. Zekai jumps into the air and uses Random Firing to suppress Fusheng. Zekai rushes towards Zhang Xinjie’s Cleric, which is a class known for poor combat. With Shaotian, Zekai kills Xinjie’s Immovable Rock. Zekai and Team A win the team challenge. Zekai is interviewed by reporters after the match, which gives Team A the overall win.

Volume 5: Deception
In a pro player group chat, Zhou Zekai, who is normally quiet, sends a laughing emoji when Ye Xiu greets and leaves without talking to Huang Shaotian. Zekai sees Shaotian and Ye Xiu agree to a Fixed Field duel. Zekai logs onto his Cloud Piercer account. In Loulan Slash’s Arena room, Zekai watches Shaotian’s Troubling Rain kill Loulan Slash in a duel. In the next duel, Zekai sees Troubling Rain suppress Homeward Bound to death. Zhou Zekai watches Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim duel Shaotian’s Troubling Rain.

Zhou Zekai learns that Ye Xiu is dragged by Tong Lin to the manager’s office. Zekai learns that the manager wants to talk to him with Botao. With Botao, Zekai enters the manager’s office and greets Ye Xiu. Zekai smiles at Ye Xiu and does not speak. Zekai hears Ye Xiu claim that Samsara Manager is trying to take advantage of Ye Xiu’s skill points guide without paying first. Zekai hears the manager joke that he will kill Ye Xiu for the skill books guide. Zekai is surprised to hear Ye Xiu boast that with luck getting 5000 skill points is possible on Empty Waves. Zekai watches Ye Xiu fail to get two quests from NPCs until his third attempt. Zekai watches Ye Xiu complete the third quest attempt and fail to get a 20-point skill book. Zekai learns that this quest has a 63 percent chance of dropping a skill book. Zekai hears Samsara Manager’s doubts. Zekai sees Ye Xiu show of an account with 4920 skill points.
