EVIL SPAWN

YING CHEN was still a distance away from them, so Luo Yan had time to stare at the other.  He still looked like one of those pretty high school boys that was the favorite of younger girls. 

No matter in which angle Luo Yan looked, Ying Chen was really similar to his game avatar's appearance.  The only difference was the color of his skin, hair, and eyes.  But otherwise, it was the very image of him. 

The only reason Luo Yan wasn't able to immediately know it was him when they met during the prelims of the Rookie Carnival was because the other never crossed his mind.  He only thought that the other was familiar.  Until he remembered the teenager who bumped purposely into him while he was walking out of the elevator. 

Besides, there was also that thing when the panther beastkin mentioned Huang Wen.  After that, it was easy to connect the dots.  So, he quickly realized that the dark elf named Malekith was actually Ying Chen.
