Chapter 551: The Outlanders Who Were Stupefied by the Opening Cinematics
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The advanced civilization on this land had been destroyed many years ago.
In the ancient war, immortals had died, and the continent was shattered.
In the eyes of the people who regarded themselves as advanced existences, this barbaric civilization that was just emerging from waste was something beneath their notice.
For them, these people were similar to a group of apes and primitive humans.
"Lady Jessica!" Respectfully, a maid stood beside a blonde woman who was lounging lazily on a big chair covered in fur pelts. Her crimson eyes oozed wickedness and a blood-thirsty aura.
She stretched a bit as if she were not here to battle but to take a holiday.
For her, a skirmish of this level couldn't be called a war.
It was only an easy one-sided suppression; nothing more.
"The family actually sent me here for this task; I wonder if they have no regard for my abilities." She snorted and shook her head. "Forget it. I'll just take it as a holiday."
"Let me see what antics and stupid things these ignorant natives are doing now." In these people's eyes, the people of the Spiritual State were a group of ignorant bumpkins.
She cast a spiritual spell leisurely, and a scene of Yuanyang City appeared before her.
"So many people?!" She froze for a moment because there hadn't been so many people in the city when she checked last time...
What's happening?!
All kinds of giant horizontal posters were on the streets and in the alleys of Yuanyang City.
[All Participants, Warm Welcome to Yuanyang City!]
The crowds almost blocked the streets.
She even heard a girl shouting in the crowd, "Ah-! New Snow! You're gorgeous!"
"Look! That's Academy Master Gu! Academy Master Gu, show the super psionic lightning matrix again!"
"Academy Master's Protoss is unrivaled!"
"Look over there! Liu Ningyun, the Nanhua Fairy! My goodness! She is even more beautiful than in the game!"
"Over there! He's said to be the most talented young man! He looks so young!"
"It's said that he's only 12 years old! Hahaha!"
The venue of the competition was the Spiritual State. Since the teleportation array between Half City and Jiuhua City had been built, people of Half City could travel to the Spiritual State from Jiuhua City. There was no issue for transportation.
Jessica's jaw almost dropped as her mouth was wide open. "What are they doing?!"
With us at your door, can't you act frightened and create that atmosphere?!
"Lady Jessica, here is your 1,000-year-old jade melon." The maid handed her a plate of neatly placed spiritual melon slices which looked like green jade.
"Okay..." Picking up a slice distractedly, she began to watch what was going on.
...
The virtual E-Sports competition venue in Qzone could accommodate about 40,000 people, which meant that all the players in the three shops after the expansions could enter and have seats.
"Master... How come there are so many people?!" Zhuge Yu gaped at the scene before her with widened eyes. The circular audience stands surrounding the arena were crammed with people.
– Meanwhile, in Liuyun Daoist Palace –
In the central square, the disciples of Liuyun Daoist Palace each carried a small futon and sat down.
– In the Nanhua Faction of Morning Star Sea Realm –
A huge screen created by a spiritual spell appeared in the sky above the square, and the disciples could see everything on it clearly.
"Senior Brother... What's this?" A young boy who had just entered the faction asked in a low voice.
"This is E-Sports that only the senior brothers and sisters can get in touch with! Hush! Don't make any noise! It's said that even the major factions in the Spiritual State are watching it! Senior Sister Liu and the others are fighting for the glory for our faction!"
"Awesome!" The young boy looked eager. "If I cultivate hard, can I enter this E-Sports in the future, just like them?"
"You must cultivate hard! Remember, all participants in the E-Sports competition are powerful!"
"Okay!"
Kevin was one of the leaders in this expedition. The family had sent them to clear this newly-found land, which was lost in the ancient times, and they planned to use this place to develop new energy sources and store resources.
At this moment, he came in with a copy of the plan, intending to discuss with the others about the preparations of this battle.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
"Come in!"
The blond young man walked in and saw Jessica watching something intently with a slice of melon in her hands.
"What are you watching?!"
Bewildered, Kevin watched the scene before Jessica.
At this moment, the opening cinematics had begun playing in the virtual arena in Qzone. The other major broadcasting platforms were showing it on the livestream as well.
Before Jessica was the Chongxu Dao Discussion Field in Yuanyang City.
The field was crammed with cultivators and warriors from all over the Spiritual State.
The lights dimmed. In the darkness, a clock ticked as the huge screen showed an ancient gear engraved with some ancient characters – Dungeon Fighter Online.
It represented the dreams of millions of adventurers.
Each adventurer who came here all had their own ambitious goals that were perhaps unattainable.
Suddenly, a sword beam lit up in the darkness.
[Does swordsmanship have a limit?] On the screen, this sentence showed when a blade master pulled out a longsword and awakened as a grandmaster.
This simple sentence resonated with the hunger in the hearts of the warriors who used swords; this sentence voiced their life-long pursuits, and they were excited by it.
"The dark night gives me dark eyes, but why do they emit such dazzling lights?" Before them, the silent eye suppressed darkness with his jade-like sword beam.
It was silent, but the words that were as radiant as the sword beam were louder than shouts.
"F...!" Zong Wu almost cussed when he saw this short sentence since it expressed the desire in the hearts of all asura players.
On the screen, the hellbringer with blood-red eyes and blood-covered hands looked like a lunatic.
...
[God, please forgive me...]
The priest on the screen turned into a demon, but the fire of revenge would never die down!
One after another, the stunning figures appeared before the audience.
The opening cinematics were divided into two parts. The first part was about Dungeon Fighter Online, and the other was about StarCraft.
"The Queen! Look! The Queen of Blades!"
Outside a huge fortress that appeared endless, groups of flying dragon-like creatures flew up like a black curtain in the sky. Under the fortress walls, cannons fired like blooming flowers, and the tank army of humans fired in huge waves, pushing dust into the air like a curtain.
On the screen, a battlecruiser that was as huge as an ancient mountain crashed down from the sky, shattering the whole city. While the unimaginable, epic battle scenes appeared before them, the audience fell silent and stared at the screen with widened eyes.
"What's this?!"
The melon in Jessica's hand already dropped to the ground.
Holding his plans, Kevin froze on the spot in a daze.
Damn it! What was the thing that teleported in the void?!
When did this grand war happen? How come we don't know about that?!
How come cultivators and warriors in this world have reached such high realms?!
They are even chasing after the ultimate realm of swordsmanship?!
They all turned ashen-faced.
Chapter 552: Dazzling? or Just Crazy?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Carrying the heavy burden of their fates, all the players had experienced the stunning adventure in the continent of Dungeon Fighter Online as they walked toward their awakenings step by step.
"I have nothing to lose..." In Empyrean, that gunner who was wearing a dark purple windbreaker pressed on a bomb trigger and leaped down under the gazes of the enemies who had surrounded him.
"You must care for your weapon like it's your baby." When the music of Dungeon Fighter Online sounded, the words of Blacksmith Uncle Linus in Elvenguard resonated in their ears.
While the scenes flashed before them, the music suddenly turned high and passionate.
[Awakening]
One word appeared on the dark screen.
Among the beams of flowing array light, countless demons floated in space. The scene where that horrifying Blache dashed out of the death swamp flashed on the screen.
Then, the crazy-looking demon hacked down his sword, shattering the ground. Lava and beams of fire instantly shot up into the sky!
The scenes of earth-shaking battles flashed before the eyes of the audience.
"My goodness!" Dong Qingli exclaimed when the screen paused at the scene when a champion (Female strikers' 1st awakening) killed an Abyss Demon with one kick.
"This is my champion!"
Sitting in Heaven-Hiding Palace, Jessica and the others' jaws almost dropped as they watched this scene.
"What are you doing here? Lord Vanguard General is holding a meeting, and you guys..." Some luxuriously-dressed men and women walked in. At this moment, on the screen, golden battleships flew across the void in the starry sky, looking like ever-lasting fortresses in space.
The huge golden battlecruisers spread out in space. The unrivaled golden battleship fleet of the Protoss ignited the audience.
Screams and exclamations rose in waves!
Sitting on futons cross-legged on their respective squares, the disciples and elders of the Liuyun Daoist Palace and Cloud Ocean Faction intently watched the opening cinematics with blood boiling in their veins.
The disciples sitting in the back clenched their fists and thought, I must work hard! One day, I'll also become an E-Sports player and attend this competition!
"Look! Isn't that young man from the Nanhua Faction?!" A disciple from the Heavenly Sword Faction pointed at a swift master flashing on the big screen.
"He's now a core disciple now! His talent in gaming is much greater than ours!"
"My goodness..." The first disciple's face darkened.
At this moment, the faces of Jessica and the other outlanders were now all pale, and they thought, We are here to spend our holiday, and you natives present this stuff to us?
Who are the barbarians? You or me?!
"What on earth is this?!" Kevin yelled in alarm.
"Quickly call over Carl!"
"Call them all here to watch this!"
Soon, all the outlanders sat down in rows and watched the E-Sports competition intently.
They had totally forgotten about their claims to stun the people of the Spiritual State.
It seemed like they had come all the way here to watch the competition.
...
When the opening cinematics came to an end, the high and passionate music of electric guitar came from below. Under the spotlights, a charming woman wearing a green, trailing long dress was holding a dark blue electric guitar. Her green-jade-like eyes looked like the surface of a lake in the autumn with reflective lights.
The audience was charmed by her smile and moves.
With the passionate and echoing heavy-metal music, the big screen behind her was filled with fire and smoke of a war between stars.
Then, her clear and passionate singing sounded.
"What's she singing about? I don't understand one word of it." Sitting in a seat in the front row, Sia asked in her poor Spiritual State language.
"It's said to be a Western language... She is singing a song named 'Nightwish – She Is My Sin,' Luo Piaoling whispered to her.
[TL Note: This song is the theme song for Counter Strike 1.6, which was really popular in China.]
"Why can't she sing in the language of the Ultimate West Realm?"
Although the audience couldn't understand the words, they were enchanted by the rhythm. At this moment, another voice joined in as the music switched, and it sounded light, ethereal, pure, and melodious.
Two songs intertwined with each other as if a holy angel and a seductive demon joined their voices. In the end, a fairy-like woman wearing pure-white clothes flew down from the sky.
"F*ck!"
"Awesome!"
"It is worth it to not play games today!"
Stunned by these visual effects, the audience erupted into cheers, and the atmosphere was hyped.
Then, thunder seemed to be rumbling in the sky, and the big screen showed some fascinating scenes where players fought their way up from the low ranking to the high ranking to get into the competition. Some of them made it, and some of them didn't.
An elemental bomber waved his magic staff, and the magic arrays on the ground exploded in flames.
Meanwhile, the singers seemed to have begun to sing in the language of the Spiritual State.
"The witch lifted her wand and left a frost flower on the windowsill;
She seemed to remember that the prophecy told this story;
He came from a snowstorm, freezing time that was anxious..."
...
A desperado (Male rangers' 1st awakening) fought back in an impossible situation and claimed victory.
A desperado player who had entered the competition had tears in his eyes when he saw this scene. It was a flashback of his last battle before he entered the top 64. Even watching it now, his heart raced, and he was a little scared.
At this moment, even the outlanders in the Heaven-Hiding Palace were stupefied by what they saw.
"How can these people have such terrifying combat experience?!"
"Are they still humans?!"
Of course, they didn't know that each participant in this E-Sports competition had fought more than 4,000 matches, not including their battles with the Abyss Demons.
"Look! What's that?!"
A golden transportation aircraft flew over, and Protoss high templars dropped from the sky. Then, a psi storm swept across the whole battlefield!
A horrifying sea of zerg units was turned into ashes in one instant.
"Psionic lightning matrix! It's a play that consists of dropping psionic storms from the air!" one player exclaimed.
"Airdropping ten Protoss high templars! This is a super psionic lightning matrix!"
"My goodness!"
In the Heaven-Hiding Palace, Jessica and the other outlanders yelled, "Holy God!"
"What's this now?!"
"They seem to be yelling something like psionic lightning matrix?! It's crazy! So powerful!"
"What am I watching?! These people are holding battles among such grandmasters?!"
At this moment, the songs came to an end while the last few words resonating in their ears, "Dazzling or just crazy?"
With wide-open eyes, the outlanders exchanged a look while gaping.
They had never been stunned and shocked like this before.
Chapter 553: The Poison Milk Duo's Powerful Return
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
[TL Note: Poison Milk is a Chinese slang where praying for someone makes that person perform worse.]
"My goodness!" Jessica covered her head with her arms and shrieked, "How did these people develop? Their civilization already developed to such a high level?!"
It was impossible to imagine how this could have happened for these people.
Among other things, the transition (spatial warp) in StarCraft was beyond their understanding; it was way more advanced than traditional teleportation!
What is transition? It originally refers to the transition in quantum physics, describing the drastic shift in quantum phases. Although it was different from the transition in StarCraft, it can be used to explain the instant teleportation method in the game.
The transition technique of Terrans was something like the warp drive as shown in Star Wars. The Protoss used their unique technology of particle reform, and Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, created wormholes to teleport units to Mengsk's home.
Carl, the Vanguard General, had a cup of wine in his hand, and he was planning to enjoy wine while watching the competition. However, he spilled it on his pants instead.
What did I say earlier?!
Fortunately, I didn't show my face earlier!
His face turned pale.
The others around him saw his wet pants. "..."
"I spilled my wine! I spilled my wine!" He hurried to explain.
"..."
"Lady Jessica, your melon!" The maid picked up the slice of melon for Jessica.
"Forget it. Give me another slice!" She continued watching the competition.
...
Although the System provided the awards and venue for the competition, Mr. Fang, as the owner of the shop, had spent a lot of energy on this event as well.
For example, he had arranged the hosts for the gala.
Even now, he was still hurting for the money that he had paid from his own pocket.
"Wow! Awesome! Superb!" Ning Bi, the demonic woman, praised her companion, "This super cool and pure fairy with a beautiful singing voice beside me is a great figure."
"Daoist Friend, you are exaggerating. I'm Qing Yun, an independent cultivator. I'm honored to stand here together with you." Fairy Qing Yun looked calm and elegant, but her beautiful eyes showed her excitement. She was thrilled that Mr. Fang had gathered so many grandmasters together to defend against the enemies from the outland.
Since she would go to her auction house when she was free, Ning Bi was very familiar with this role. "First of all, let's welcome all the friends who came from distant places and friends who are watching through the livestream! I'm Ning Bi! Welcome, everyone!"
Fairy Qing Yun was more reserved. "I'm Qing Yun! Welcome, everyone!"
"Wow-!"
"Welcome! Welcome!"
The audience outside the arena all screamed.
"Our blade master is awesome!"
"Hellbringer is unrivaled!"
"For the zerg!"
"Cheers for the Queen of Blades!"
"Fairy Qing Yun is awesome!"
"..."
"The atmosphere is so lively..." Jessica ate her melon slice while watching the show.
"Gulp! Gulp..." Carl gulped down his wine and stared at the scene before him.
Calmly, Ning Bi introduced, "After the group draw, our contestants are ready. 64 players from all over the world will engage in fierce battles in four groups."
"Right." Fairy Qing Yun nodded and said, "After the fierce battles in the groups, the four winners will battle for the first place."
"The StarCraft competition and Dungeon Fighter Online competition will be held separately," Ning Bi explained, "Now, let's see who are in Group A of the Dungeon Fighter Online competition!"
She looked at the name list. "It seems like Group A is the group of death. King of the Swift Masters, Wang Xie!"
"F*ck!"
"This first participant is so powerful already!"
"Who's Wang Xie? How come we don't know about him?" The audience in the Heaven-Hiding Palace looked puzzled.
Jessica moved her spell and said, "Let's hear what the audience members are saying about him!"
"He's the genius of the Wang Family and the No. 1 Genius in the Heavenly Academy!"
"He won the first place in the academy entrance exam of the Heavenly Academy!"
What was wind?
Ordinary people would think that it was just a natural phenomenon.
However, for the people in the ancient magic realm, wind was an important factor in deciding one's fate.
The depths of the Storm Hill, where the gales swept around, was the place where swift masters studied the origin of wind.
They were called wind chasers and swift masters.
"It's said that he is the first person who could deftly control each of the hurricanes that swift masters summon using Vortex Hurrican!"
"Vortex Hurricane?!" The outlanders exchanged a look, recalling the destructive storm in the opening cinematics. That horrifying wind storm could be called the origin of wind!
"How can one control it deftly?!" F*ck...
They had the urge to cuss. Who are these weirdos!
Since the virtual reality games were different from the original ones, the players did more than controlling the timing and trying to connect combos.
In Dungeon Fighter Online, the players could control each move to the exact second!
The godlike masters wouldn't hurt their teammates at all even if the latter stood in the attack range of a powerful skill that they learned after their first awakening.
"The next is Grand master Zhu Yanxiao!" A warrior with short hair walked up to the arena with a cool expression.
"My goodness-!" the audience yelled in astonishment.
"F*ck! Zhu Yanxiao!"
"How come I've never heard of him before?"
"I can't believe that you haven't heard of him! He is rumored to be the No.1 Blade Master. I don't know where he is from for sure, but it seems like he is a civilian warrior from the Jiuhua City Shop. He's super powerful!"
"A civilian warrior? Can he defeat the master warriors of the Spiritual State?"
"I didn't believe it either, but this guy's talent is... too insane!"
"Grand Master?!" The outlanders froze. They had just seen a person who had mastered the origin of wind, and now here came a grandmaster?!
At this moment, two figures who were engulfed in black cloaks and sitting in the rear were whispering to each other.
"What's going on? Do we need to go up there and show ourselves on stage to participate in the competition?!
"Will our backgrounds be exposed?"
After Ning Bi introduced the contestants, she said, "Now, let's turn the camera to our casters."
"Hello, everyone. I'm Caster Xiao Yulv." Although Xiao Yulv couldn't play games, Mr. Fang had to go against his own will and managed to get Xiao Yulv a position as a caster.
"I'm Caster Mu Donglai."
This time, the two of them sat in the special broadcasting hall in the Jiuhua City Shop.
Compared to their previous 'casting experience' where they sat on couches among the rest of the audience, this hall looked much grander.
"It's the first time that we have such a big audience watching a competition..." Mu Donglai commented.
"You're right."
Mu Donglai said, "Gongzi Xiao, what do you think of the contestants in Group A?"
"For example, this group has Swift Master Wang Xie, Mechanic Tang Yu, Grand Master Zhu Yanxiao who many civilian players favor, and the No.1 Hellbringer from the Half City Shop... Nanhua Fairy Liu Ningyun. Wow! It seems like the contestants in Group A are all in the group of death."
Chapter 554: Unleash the Power
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Xiao Yulv said, "I think Mr. Mu knows more about this field than I do. From what I know, Mr. Mu has reached the Master-Tier in the Ladder Ranking System of StarCraft and thus has unique understanding of strategies and tactics. Besides, he has just reached the supreme-tier in Dungeon Fighter Online yesterday."
Mr. Mu smiled in understanding and said, "This... I'm sure that everyone knows the big contribution that Gongzi Xiao made with his game guides."
As usual, they first complimented each other very well.
-Inside the Heaven-Hiding Palace-
"What are these two people doing here?! They sound quite powerful?" These outlanders clearly knew nothing about the topic that these two men were discussing except the words 'master' and 'supreme'.
"I know that Mr. Mu had fought with many contestants, so I think your opinion is valuable," Xiao Yulv said, "I want to ask who you think is stronger when you were fighting your way to the supreme-tier. Who do you think is stronger or who do you think has the potential to be the champion?"
"From what I know, this 'Crazy Butcher' and 'Zhu Yanxiao' are the weakest in Group A. Not for any particular reason; when I encountered them while I fought my way up, that was how I felt."
"Only these two?" Xiao Yulv asked, "How about Young Master Song Qingfeng? He's in this group too."
"Young Master Song might have more competition experience than the others," Mu Donglai said calmly.
"Indeed. Gongzi Song has taken quite a few great rankings in previous competitions."
"Oh." Mu Donglai looked at the time and saw that the competition was about to begin. "I'll tell you this. The most powerful contestant in the competition, on the warrior side, is Old Duke Nalan who surpasses the others in both swordsmanship and Sword Dao. Among the Mages, Elder Xuanyuan Changqing of the Xuanyuan Family is good. Also, Wang Xie is a young genius."
"How about Vice Academy Master Zhang of the Heavenly Academy and Ms. Xue Bi? They are both powerful masters, right?"
"I'm sure that the champion will be one of them." Mu Donglai nodded and said, "If Senior Gu Tingyun didn't choose to enter StarCraft, he would be a powerful candidate in the Dungeon Fighter Online competition as well."
Xiao Yulv said, "Now, everyone, please remember the five people who Mr. Mu just mentioned; the champion will be one of them."
"Oh! One more." Mr. Mu patted his hand on his forehead when a thought struck him, and he said, "Nalan Mingxue! This girl is quite powerful."
"Right. She won the championship title for several competitions. Then, we have six prime candidates in the competition."
Mr. Fang was also watching the livestream while drinking Coke. When he saw this scene, he spewed out his Coke. "Pu!"
"Are these six people the most powerful ones among them?" The outlanders memorized these six names and ironed them into their memory.
"Now, the competition will officially begin!" Xiao Yulv glanced at the time and announced, "Now, let's turn the camera to the contestants.
"The first match is between Bellatrix Liu Ningyun of the Nanhua Faction in the Morning Star Sea Realm versus the young desperado genius of Half City, the King of Rangers!"
...
– Meanwhile, in the audience stand in Qzone –
Fairy Qing Yun continued to hum the song, "The witch lifted her wand and left a frost flower on the windowsill..."
In her arms was a big bag of potato chips that Mr. Fang gave to her. Before she could eat, her little disciple Zhuge Yu grabbed a big handful from the bag.
"Crunch! Crunch!" Zhuge Yu ate more than half of the chips that she grabbed in a few seconds.
"Yu'er!" Fairy Qing Yun glared at Zhuge Yu with her beautiful eyes and said, "What did I tell you before we came out? You must wash your hands before eating! And you must chew and eat slowly!
"One more thing; don't eat chips in secret without my permission! Do you remember?"
Sitting near them, Mr. Fang's face twitched as he thought, I think she's really your daughter...
...
It was the outlanders' first time watching an E-Sports competition.
Jessica ate her melon, and Carl poured himself another cup of wine.
"The six powerful people that those two mentioned are not in the first match, right?" Carl sipped his wine and said, "Although these natives' power goes beyond our imagination, some of them are not as strong as the others."
While taking a bite from her melon, Jessica said, "This girl looks no older than us. It seems that they are letting the ordinary masters in the younger generation battle first, and the more powerful ones will come out later."
Kevin said, "Yeah. If my memory serves me right, Jessica, you are one of the best in your family, right?"
"She isn't called the Shadow Spirit for nothing." Carl lifted his cup and chuckled.
"I wonder if I can defeat this woman." Jessica licked her red lips, looking very interested.
She had wanted to beat all the people in this world senseless. But now, she had lowered her expectations and began to compare herself with the geniuses in the younger generation.
Although the contestants all looked powerful, they represented more than half of the most powerful masters in this world.
The outlanders were sent here with a mission. Although they had been stunned by the opening cinematics, they must do their due diligence and investigate, and they would never do nothing and just go back.
At least, they must investigate their enemies' strength first.
To do the investigation, watching the competition was the first step.
These outlanders could only watch from the distance, but they were not stupid. If the contestants had poor combat techniques and battle experience and had disguised their poor performance with grand and dazzling explosive effects, they would have seen through it.
However, from the previous opening cinematics, they could see that every move, technique, and spiritual spell that these people used followed certain laws of nature, and they could roughly understand them.
They couldn't fake these techniques.
Outsiders only watched for fun, but the experts could see the differences. Since these outlanders were true masters, they could see the essence and great power of these techniques.
In fact, after learning their awakening skills, many cultivators of the Spiritual State didn't know how horrifying these skills were since they didn't have anything to compare them with.
Perhaps only the few ancient families that had studied the ethereal celestial relics knew something about the true power of these skills.
However, these outlanders had the most direct experience. They could compare these skills with their own and understand which was stronger and by how much.
"This contestant is only a child who is about 12 years old." Carl shook his head and said, "I think their younger generation is still no match for ours."
The moment he said it, the scene before them suddenly changed. Liu Ningyun who was holding a spear suddenly emitted golden light like an imposing godly statue!
As if she were defying gravity, her whole body floated up while horrifying magic power surrounded her and condensed into armor and a huge battle spear. While emitting golden light, she looked like a goddess!
A huge streak of magic power exploded, turning everything around her to dust!
"My goodness! Liu Ningyun successfully used the skill, Teana Transformation! The King of Rangers is in danger!" The two casters were shouting on top of their lungs.
"Teana Transformation?"
"Aren't they just two young people?!" Seeing the horrifying presence sweeping across the space, and the golden blade chopping everything before it into two halves, Carl subconsciously dropped his wine cup.
"I spilled my wine again! I spilled it again!" His pants were wet.
"My melon!" With an exclamation, Jessica dropped it again.
Chapter 555: The Quality of Supreme-Tier Players
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the prehistoric times when the planet Terra was still intact, and magic was yet to be discovered, the advanced Terra science created 12 Teanas.
Teanas glowed in gold, and they had saint-like wisdom and battle-god-like strength. All the people of Terra worshiped them, and these people's biggest dream was to become like them.
This was why battle mages would transform into Teana after awakening.
"Now, let's review their previous moves," Xiao Yulv said, "They fought steadily, and then Contestant Liu Ningyun grabbed an opportunity to use her killing technique!"
"She seemed to use Sky Assault and missed on purpose to trick her opponent into moving in a specific direction. Then, she sent him flying. While her opponent was airborne, she chanted spells to apply buffs to herself before transforming into a Teana!" Mu Donglai explained, "This contestant is very decisive! If not for the magic protection that came with his reinforced equipment, the King of Ranger would have been killed!"
"But we can see that the King of Rangers's HP isn't in a good situation now! He has been knocked up! Can he regain his balance and slow down the tempo of this battle?!"
"The King of Rangers tried his best to protect his vital parts, but we can see that he had been severely wounded!"
On the big screen, the dignified Teana who looked like the Martial God slashed out her saber, and the terrifying golden saber energy would turn everything before her into two halves.
It wasn't a power that humans could block! The blade turned back and hacked down with vicious force!
"Finished!" Xiao Yulv yelled, "He will die if he is hit by this blade strike!"
Mu Donglai shook his head and said, "The King of Rangers is too young after all. I encountered this contestant in the dojo and found that he is a hard-working and talented player."
"But on this arena, experience is very important!"
Right now, Jessica had no time to pick up melons. She almost stuck her head into the screen before her!
What did she just see?! This all originated from the man getting hit by the spear which wasn't a hard strike. A few seconds later, the battle had entered a critical stage where one contestant was going to be killed.
"It's finished," Carl said, "This Teana obviously has god-level strength, and this cultivator using the weird spiritual artifact (a gun) is too weak."
"It seems that there are weak ones among them," Kevin said cheerfully, "For example, this young man is one of the weak ones. I wonder why they allowed a weakling like him to enter the competition!"
"The match is coming to an end. Let's congratulate..."
To survive in the chaotic and lawless zone in Empyrean, the gunners must be able to draw out their guns and shoot very swiftly. In most cases, one mistake would mean death.
Wang Luo, a survivor in the chaotic Half City, had never imagined that some people in another world would have lives so similar to his.
Without great talents like other cultivators, guns were his best option as weapons.
In the competition venue on the second floor of Yuanyang City, the young man wearing a virtual reality headset wasn't fearful or regretful that he would soon lose this match.
At least, he had come to the competition with his beloved guns and shouldn't go back in disgrace. More importantly, he didn't want his desperado character who was wearing a purple windbreaker to lose without firing one bullet.
At least, he still had one chance to fire...
In the next moment, the outlanders in the Heaven-Hiding Palace widened their eyes while they watched the scene shown by the screen created by the spiritual spell.
The contestant's body seemed to defy the law of physics while he lifted his hand and fired unexpectedly!
"Revenger! The King of Rangers used the recoil force of Revenger to dodge the attack!"
"He could even dodge this attack?!"
"Who's this King of Rangers?!"
"He's too powerful! How come I've never heard of him before?!"
All the cultivators and warriors in Qzone and before the various big screens of the livestream stood up without thinking.
Boom!
With a loud, earth-shaking sound, the ground of the arena cracked into two halves!
For rangers who were constantly gripped by the fear of death, drawing and firing had become their second nature, and they could do it as easily as breathing. Even when they lost balance or consciousness, they could fire like a conditional reflex.
"Flying gun!" In fact, any gunner who reached the supreme-tier could use this technique, but now...
"The King of Rangers dodged another strike with the flying gun technique! He is pulling away from his opponent swiftly. Does he still have a chance?!"
"Moving Shot! Silver Bullet! Rising Shot! Oh! They are useless!" Mu Donglai yelled, "The bellatrix won't be sent flying by magic power!"
On the screen, the desperado retreated under the attacks from the bellatrix.
"My goodness! This King of Rangers is so calm!" Xiao Yulv exclaimed, "He's on the verge of dying, but he's still dodging attacks!"
"We can see that the King of Rangers is using all kinds of weapons including Gatling gun, grenades, and rising bullets to interfere with his opponent's attacks. Although the effects are insignificant, he doesn't want to admit defeat!"
"It looks like an ant's struggle before death." Carl shook his head and said, "Facing an opponent much stronger than him, he is seeking death if he doesn't give up."
"Aya! I have to say that Contestant Liu Ningyun has chosen the perfect time to transform!" Mu Donglai lamented, "At this moment, even if the King of Rangers uses his awakening skill, it will be in vain."
"Have you guys noticed that the King of Rangers hasn't used Headshot!" Xiao Yulv suddenly said.
Headshot didn't only refer to shooting the opponent's head; it was a skill to shoot at the opponent's vital points.
This technique consumed lots of energy and magic power.
They could only see the bellatrix's golden saber energies, which showed that this wasn't a battle between opponents of the same level.
However, in the next moment, a bullet shot through the saber energies.
The audience saw a weird skeleton flashing past.
"Sudden Death-!" Mu Donglai yelled in shock, "Is this Sudden Death?!"
"The King of Rangers used Sudden Death in the match!"
At this moment, even Mr. Fang stood up.
The passive skill, Sudden Death, of desperadoes was an instinctive combat skill which was obtained through many battles. With this skill, the desperadoes could sense their opponents' vital points, but its accuracy is extremely low.
"He actually hit her?!"
The moment that the weird skeleton appeared, the bellatrix collapsed!
"This is..."
"What's this spiritual artifact? It can even kill gods?!"
It was an instant kill!
The people in the Heaven-Hiding Palace yelled in shock.
"Grenade and then sliding tackle! Contestant Liu Ningyun was knocked back to her ordinary form by the hit! My goodness, the King of Rangers is fighting back! He is fighting back while he's on the verge of death!" The two casters yelled hoarsely.
"At this moment, regardless if he wins or loses, this player has won our respect. His unyielding spirit is a quality that all of us, both warriors and cultivators, must have!" Mu Donglai yelled, "It's the spirit of our supreme-tier players! He deserves the name of desperado!"
At this moment, the audience all stood up with excitement, and the whole venue was engulfed by earth-shaking cheering!
Chapter 555: The Quality of Supreme-Tier Players
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the prehistoric times when the planet Terra was still intact, and magic was yet to be discovered, the advanced Terra science created 12 Teanas.
Teanas glowed in gold, and they had saint-like wisdom and battle-god-like strength. All the people of Terra worshiped them, and these people's biggest dream was to become like them.
This was why battle mages would transform into Teana after awakening.
"Now, let's review their previous moves," Xiao Yulv said, "They fought steadily, and then Contestant Liu Ningyun grabbed an opportunity to use her killing technique!"
"She seemed to use Sky Assault and missed on purpose to trick her opponent into moving in a specific direction. Then, she sent him flying. While her opponent was airborne, she chanted spells to apply buffs to herself before transforming into a Teana!" Mu Donglai explained, "This contestant is very decisive! If not for the magic protection that came with his reinforced equipment, the King of Ranger would have been killed!"
"But we can see that the King of Rangers's HP isn't in a good situation now! He has been knocked up! Can he regain his balance and slow down the tempo of this battle?!"
"The King of Rangers tried his best to protect his vital parts, but we can see that he had been severely wounded!"
On the big screen, the dignified Teana who looked like the Martial God slashed out her saber, and the terrifying golden saber energy would turn everything before her into two halves.
It wasn't a power that humans could block! The blade turned back and hacked down with vicious force!
"Finished!" Xiao Yulv yelled, "He will die if he is hit by this blade strike!"
Mu Donglai shook his head and said, "The King of Rangers is too young after all. I encountered this contestant in the dojo and found that he is a hard-working and talented player."
"But on this arena, experience is very important!"
Right now, Jessica had no time to pick up melons. She almost stuck her head into the screen before her!
What did she just see?! This all originated from the man getting hit by the spear which wasn't a hard strike. A few seconds later, the battle had entered a critical stage where one contestant was going to be killed.
"It's finished," Carl said, "This Teana obviously has god-level strength, and this cultivator using the weird spiritual artifact (a gun) is too weak."
"It seems that there are weak ones among them," Kevin said cheerfully, "For example, this young man is one of the weak ones. I wonder why they allowed a weakling like him to enter the competition!"
"The match is coming to an end. Let's congratulate..."
To survive in the chaotic and lawless zone in Empyrean, the gunners must be able to draw out their guns and shoot very swiftly. In most cases, one mistake would mean death.
Wang Luo, a survivor in the chaotic Half City, had never imagined that some people in another world would have lives so similar to his.
Without great talents like other cultivators, guns were his best option as weapons.
In the competition venue on the second floor of Yuanyang City, the young man wearing a virtual reality headset wasn't fearful or regretful that he would soon lose this match.
At least, he had come to the competition with his beloved guns and shouldn't go back in disgrace. More importantly, he didn't want his desperado character who was wearing a purple windbreaker to lose without firing one bullet.
At least, he still had one chance to fire...
In the next moment, the outlanders in the Heaven-Hiding Palace widened their eyes while they watched the scene shown by the screen created by the spiritual spell.
The contestant's body seemed to defy the law of physics while he lifted his hand and fired unexpectedly!
"Revenger! The King of Rangers used the recoil force of Revenger to dodge the attack!"
"He could even dodge this attack?!"
"Who's this King of Rangers?!"
"He's too powerful! How come I've never heard of him before?!"
All the cultivators and warriors in Qzone and before the various big screens of the livestream stood up without thinking.
Boom!
With a loud, earth-shaking sound, the ground of the arena cracked into two halves!
For rangers who were constantly gripped by the fear of death, drawing and firing had become their second nature, and they could do it as easily as breathing. Even when they lost balance or consciousness, they could fire like a conditional reflex.
"Flying gun!" In fact, any gunner who reached the supreme-tier could use this technique, but now...
"The King of Rangers dodged another strike with the flying gun technique! He is pulling away from his opponent swiftly. Does he still have a chance?!"
"Moving Shot! Silver Bullet! Rising Shot! Oh! They are useless!" Mu Donglai yelled, "The bellatrix won't be sent flying by magic power!"
On the screen, the desperado retreated under the attacks from the bellatrix.
"My goodness! This King of Rangers is so calm!" Xiao Yulv exclaimed, "He's on the verge of dying, but he's still dodging attacks!"
"We can see that the King of Rangers is using all kinds of weapons including Gatling gun, grenades, and rising bullets to interfere with his opponent's attacks. Although the effects are insignificant, he doesn't want to admit defeat!"
