The girls had logged off, but I wasn't in the mood to sleep. Hmm, I decided to log into the arena and search for my opponent in the 1v1 channel.
Beep!
My opponent appeared in the next moment. As a Top 10 player, my opponent couldn't be weak. It was none other than the strongest magic knight of Warsky Alliance, Laughing At The Heavens!
Swhoosh swhoosh!
Both of us appeared in the arena at the same time. Laughing At The Heavens looked a bit surprised. "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?
Aren't you supposed to be in Bloody Shield Domain? "
I smiled. "Yeah, I'm done. Let's get some rest after the battle. Everyone else, watch as usual:!"
"Heh!"
Laughing At The Heavens spurred his mount forward and brandished his spear. His speed was neither fast nor slow, and he didn't use Charge. His skill level had improved over the course of his many battles. Back in the day, Laughing At The Heavens was also the guild leader of a major guild, and he led over a hundred thousand of his brothers and sisters as cannon fodder in a Nation War. Even so, he managed to hold off an enemy force ten times his size for almost ten hours. It was exactly because of this that he was inducted into the CGL Hall of Fame. However, that was all in the past, and Laughing At The Heavens was now a general under Warsky's command. He was no longer an overlord.
Swhoosh!
Laughing At The Heavens thrust his spear at me from a tricky angle, and a cone of fire appeared on the tip of the spear. It was none other than Barrier Break. His angle was perfect, and I didn't have the time to parry the attack.
In the blink of an eye, I abruptly swung my left arm and summoned the Mark of the Divine Arm. The Dragon God Shield abruptly shone with light and blocked Laughing At The Heavens' attack beautifully with a "clang". With my skill, I had a 70% chance of parrying an attack, and the Dragon God Shield added a 54% chance of parrying an attack. Laughing At The Heavens' attack was destined to fail.
I raised my shield and parried Laughing At The Heavens' attack. Then, I used the momentum to pull out the Purple Ying Sword from my back and swung it at him!
"Ah?!"
Laughing At The Heavens exclaimed in surprise. Clearly intimidated by the Purple Ying Sword's sharpness, he hurriedly raised his shield to block the attack!
"Bang!"
The shield shuddered violently, and Laughing At The Heavens groaned in pain as he stumbled backward. His Guard was a success, but he was still pushed back. The combination of the Purple Ying Sword's sharpness and my Strength was just too strong!
Before Laughing At The Heavens could retreat, I chased after him and sent him three more Burning Blade Slashes!
Clang clang clang!
The sword struck the shield. Suddenly, the image of a collapsing mountain appeared on the Zi Ying Sword's blade. The effect of Mountain Crush had appeared!
Kacha!
The shield in Laughing At The Heavens's hand abruptly shattered. It had lost all its durability, and while he was panicking, I swung my sword again. The Purple Ying Sword glowed with indigo flames, and the Universe Break penetrated Laughing At The Heavens's black armor!
"Puchi!"
“428375！”
A huge damage number flew up into the air. It was extremely shocking. Laughing At The Heavens' face turned deathly pale as he slowly fell from his horse. He had been instantly killed.
My blood boiled as I stared at the Purple Ying Sword in my hand. Holy shit, this is the effect of 5x damage!
I was so pleased with myself that I couldn't be bothered to continue fighting in the arena after winning a match. I would wait until I had some free time, so I decided to log out and rest for now!
… …
I immediately brought up my friend list and sent a call request to Stranger of Three Lifetimes. A few seconds later, I got a response — "Lu Chen?
What's up? I'm fighting a boss with everyone right now! "
"Momo, there's something I want to ask you."
"Sure. Go ahead!"
"Where are you staying right now?"
"What do you want?"
I smiled. "I want to treat you to a meal. Let's meet offline, shall we?"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes blushed. "I'm not mentally prepared yet …"
Me: "You're overthinking things. Eve and I are going to treat you to a meal, and the rest of you can just watch as normal."
Stranger of Three Lifetimes giggled. "Aiyo, that's not good. I'm so disappointed!
Also … Blazing Hot Lips' main roster has signed with the Lenovo gaming club. As you know, we're going to be holding a regular tournament at Changzhou's Playful Valley for the next three days. I think the substitutes from Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are participating as well. Anyway, I'm at Changzhou right now! "
I was overjoyed. "That's great! It's only an hour from Suzhou to Changzhou, so I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow. Hurry up and give me your phone number!"
Stranger of Three Lifetimes: "Mn, 134-1967- * * * * *.
See you tomorrow?
Just give me a call when you're at Playful Valley. "
"Mn, sure. I might even get to watch your tournament!"
"Hehe, okay. I'm going to focus on killing the boss now!"
"Mn. Goodnight!"
"Goodnight!"
… …
I logged out of the game and took off my gaming helmet. I was so hungry that I ran out the door. He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue and Lian Xin were already eating cake at the table.
I sat down next to He Yi, and Beiming Xue poured me a glass of water. I looked at the sky outside and noted that it was only two in the morning.
While eating, I asked He Yi, "Are you busy tomorrow, Eve?"
He Yi smiled. "Are you going to ask me out?"
"Yeah!"
I nodded. "Er … I'm meeting Stranger of Three Lifetimes offline. If you're free, why don't you come with me to Changzhou for lunch tomorrow? There's something important we need to discuss."
Beiming Xue's eyes widened. "Are you going to date Stranger of Three Lifetimes, big bro?"
"Of course not!"
My eyes widened as I explained, "It's something very important to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Eve, are you free tomorrow?"
He Yi nodded. "Yeah, we're going to grind Ghost Chariots in Bloody Shield Domain. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has almost swept through 25% of Bloody Shield Domain, and we've caught more than ten thousand baby Mingshes. However, the baby Ghost Chariots seem to be a bit stronger than the rest. Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, High Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon are still catching one each, and I'm guessing that we'll have almost twenty thousand Mingshes and five thousand Ghost Chariots as pets by the end of this grind!"
I smiled in pleasant surprise. "That many?
That's great! Hehe, we'll definitely surprise our enemies in the next war! "
"Mn."
He Yi stretched her back lazily, and her chest looked like it was about to jump out of her chest. She smiled at me and said, "Alright, I'll accompany you to Changzhou tomorrow. Oh right, what is it?"
I gave her an enigmatic smile. "It's a military secret. You'll know when you meet Stranger of Three Lifetimes tomorrow."
"Alright …"
… …
After a good night's sleep, I woke up at 9 am the next morning and washed up in a hurry.
By the time I walked out of the bathroom, He Yi was already standing in the living room, dressed to the nines. She was wearing a warm orange robe, a coat that exuded an air of elegance and elegance, a short skirt, and a pair of boots. She was smiling at me as if she knew what I was thinking. She immediately explained, "Er … there are a lot of beautiful girls in Blazing Hot Lips, so I'm going with you. I can't let Stranger of Three Lifetimes outshine me, can I?"
I pouted. "You're clearly trying to one-shot Stranger of Three Lifetimes …"
"Heehee, let's go. Let's eat breakfast together …"
"Okay!"
I went downstairs and drove He Yi's Lamborghini today for the sake of the atmosphere. Actually, I liked sports cars like this one as well. It roared to life as soon as I stepped on the accelerator. It was much more powerful than an X12, and the Lamborghini's super cool design was enough to impress anyone who saw it. Driving a car like this out in the open was especially eye-catching, and book fans loved to watch it too.
I ate some breakfast and left the house. Not long after, I appeared on the highway like a bolt of lightning.
I drove at 150 km/h along the way, but it was still very smooth. A good car really was something else. He Yi was listening to music in the front passenger seat while sneaking glances at me from time to time. She giggled and said, "Slow down, you even overtook that Camaro. How fast are you going? Be careful not to get caught speeding!"
"It's fine, you have money …" I said.
He Yi pursed her lips. "Fine, as long as you're happy …"
… …
It was only 10: 30 am when we arrived at Changzhou. We drove straight into Playfulness Valley and saw a sea of people from afar. There was a super luxurious billboard hanging above the stadium with the words "CCPL Tournament: Blazing Hot Lips VS Candle Dragon VS Snowy Cathaya VS Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. Who Will Be the King?"
He Yi asked in surprise, "Eh? I thought Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls didn't participate in the CCPL this time?"
I nodded. "Yeah, Rose said that the total prize money of the CCPL tournament didn't exceed 1 million, so she didn't send our main players. She sent Remains and a couple of substitutes to represent Lenovo. The tournament is going to last for half a month, and we can't afford to waste that much time."
He Yi giggled. "We should've brought our gaming helmets today and replaced Remains and the others in the CCPL finals. We should've let Momo have a taste of our strength!"
I grinned. "Fuck, my plan is going to fail if we beat Momo. Can you not be so competitive? We're here to talk business!"
"Hmph hmph, slow down. There are students in front of us."
"Oh, okay …"
I slowly parked the car in a parking space next to the eSports stadium and got out with He Yi. After that, I spent 50 RMB per person to buy admission tickets. These scammers!
… …
When we entered the main arena of the eSports stadium, we were immediately greeted by a sea of people. It was normal to see a lot of spectators.
I grabbed He Yi's hand and squeezed my way through the crowd. There were so many people that she was whimpering in pain. The students didn't care who you were, they just wanted to see the legendary guild leader of Blazing Hot Lips, Stranger of Three Lifetimes, and Snowy Cathaya's representatives, Clear Perfume and Shadow Chanel.
I threw my arms around He Yi's shoulders and walked forward. Although my Strength was very high in the game, it wasn't much in real life. It took us almost ten minutes to reach the first row and get closer to the bottom of the stage. The beautiful host looked at me and He Yi many times with puzzlement in her eyes. She looked like she recognized us, but she didn't dare to say who we were. We tried our best to keep a low profile. Today was Blazing Hot Lips and Snowy Cathaya's performance, and we weren't here to steal the limelight.
On the big screen was the final match, Snowy Cathaya versus Blazing Hot Lips. It was a best-of-five match, and in the end, Blazing Hot Lips barely managed to defeat Clear Perfume, Shadow Chanel, and Zi Chuanyu with a score of 3: 2.
He Yi moved closer to my ear and giggled. "If Beauty Lin had participated in the match, the results would've been different."
I nodded. I remembered that she had the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword and the Moonchaser Tiger right now. Even Stranger of Three Lifetimes wouldn't be able to stop her.
… …
During the final award ceremony, Stranger of Three Lifetimes raised the championship trophy and noticed me and He Yi. She immediately giggled and said, "You're here?"
I was about to say something, but Stranger of Three Lifetimes was already bear-hugged by the fat so-called director who was presenting the award. Motherfucker, these award directors are so shameless these days.
