"Lou Lan, add oil!!!"

Seeing how Zhan Lou Lan perked up, Xiao Bei and the others were also invigorated. They emerged from the corner and spammed messages in the public channel, cheering Zhan Lou Lan on.

20 seconds...

15 seconds...

10 seconds...

Zhan Lou Lan carefully watched his opponent's every move, not letting a single detail escape his eyes. He played exceptionally well during this period of maneuvering. There were no mistakes, and every response was perfectly timed. He wasn't hit by any attacks, nor did he impulsively step into any openings that Huang Shaotian deliberately baited him with. He was single-mindedly waiting for the Berserk skill to cool down. Apart from Night Rain Sound’s movements and the cooldown time of Berserk, he paid attention to nothing else.

Only 5 seconds left...

At this point, Zhan Lou Lan finally felt a surge of excitement. He had actually managed to hold on for this long during Berserk's cooldown period, maneuvering without taking any damage!

His opponent was Huang Shaotian! Zhan Lou Lan felt that this was something to be proud of.

If he could do it once, he could do it a second time!

The 20 seconds of being in a Berserk state had to be cherished, treated with the same seriousness as this past period. If he continued to fight like this, perhaps he could win?

Zhan Lou Lan gained confidence and suddenly felt fired up.

The 5 seconds passed quickly, and Berserk's cooldown ended. Zhan Lou Lan didn't dare to be careless. He carefully maneuvered for a few more rounds, and then, seizing an opportunity, he activated Berserk!

Another tremor ran through his body, and a bloody light appeared. Seeing the exposed skin of his character instantly turn scarlet, Zhan Lou Lan felt as if he could feel the hot blood surging through him after activating Berserk. He felt like he was invincible and possessed boundless strength.

His perspective shifted, and Zhan Lou Lan was just about to unleash his planned attack when he suddenly saw a storm of sword shadows sweeping over him like a tidal wave.

No words could describe Zhan Lou Lan's feelings at that moment.

The hot blood that had been boiling within him and his character was instantly frozen by the icy sword, then crushed into pieces.

Zhan Lou Lan fell.

The greatly reduced defense in the Berserk state was simply not enough to withstand such a sharp and powerful attack. He didn't even last until the final blow of the ultimate skill. He had already exhausted his life before then. Huang Shaotian also didn't use the Phantom Invisible Sword to its full extent. Right after the sword that killed Zhan Lou Lan, he precisely stopped his actions, halting the icy blade in his character's hand.

Ice Rain!

Zhan Lou Lan knew the name of the Silver weapon in Night Rain Sound’s hand. Although equipment attributes were adjusted in the training arena, in the moment he fell, the glimpse Zhan Lou Lan caught of Ice Rain revealed an unusual cold glint. Was it from the sword, the person holding the sword, or something further away, beyond the screen?

"You played well, but I'm just better," Huang Shaotian's last sentence was surprisingly brief, without any repeated words.

Zhan Lou Lan suddenly woke up.

His opponent was Huang Shaotian!

When he had performed well, he had felt this sentiment, and it had helped him boost his confidence and morale. Now, after being killed in one hit, he felt the same sentiment again.

His opponent was Huang Shaotian, the most famous opportunist in the Alliance.

At the most crucial moment, he had still been careless. Was the opening that allowed him to use Berserk really an opening? It clearly wasn't. It was a trap, a complete trap.

It seemed that when facing Huang Shaotian, whenever an opportunity arose, you always had to consider one question: Was this opportunity yours, or his?

"Huang Shao is mighty and domineering!!!"

Someone was already shouting in the public channel. Since it wasn't an official match, no one particularly wanted to win or lose. Besides getting a sense of Zhan Lou Lan's strength, they were just there for the excitement. Seeing Huang Shaotian win, everyone was happy to cheer him on.

"Hahahaha, no big deal, no big deal. Where's Ye Qiu? Hurry up and come down! And this brother here, don't really think you're a corpse lying here unmoving. Quickly make way. You shouldn't miss a single moment of the next match. It will definitely help improve your level. Hahahaha," Huang Shaotian responded enthusiastically.

Zhan Lou Lan wasn't trying to linger. He had just lost and Xiao Bei and the others immediately sent messages of comfort. He was just busy replying and hadn't moved yet. Seeing Huang Shaotian start to taunt again, he quickly left without saying goodbye.

Thus, Zhan Lou Lan logged out, and Xiao Bei's Guilai Quhe logged in.

"Battle Mage?" Huang Shaotian wondered. "Ye Qiu?"

"Why are you using a Battle Mage! Damn, who wants to fight your Battle Mage? I'm already sick of fighting them. Use your unspecialized! Unspecialized, unspecialized, unspecialized!" Huang Shaotian shouted.

"I'm not..." Xiao Bei weakly replied, "I'm not Ye Qiu."

"Then who are you?" Huang Shaotian asked in surprise.

"I'm also from Yi Zhan." Xiao Bei said.

"I'll be damned!!!" Huang Shaotian immediately cursed and spammed the public channel, "Ye Qiu, get down here!! Why did you send another person from Yi Zhan? Do I have to challenge you one by one? How long will it take to challenge ten thousand people???"

The game had a rich selection of emoticons, and a string of smacking-the-table-and-laughing faces appeared.

"A gauntlet match! Huang Shao, stop struggling!"

"That's right, that's right. Playing the game should be one level at a time. You don't just get to see the final boss right away, do you?"

"Huang Shao, add oil! Don't lose face. Everyone is watching!"

"How many levels did Autumn God set up for him?"

"Five or six levels, I guess!" Ye Xiu casually replied.

"Too few, right? Yi Zhan has ten thousand people. Even if you discount that by a factor of 100, there should be 100 levels!"

"That's right, 100 levels, 100 levels!"

"100 levels, no explanation needed!"

"100 levels +1, no explanation needed."

"100 levels +2, no explanation needed."

"..."

A string of numbers was quickly typed out. These were all professional players, and their hands were the fastest. In an instant, they had spammed Huang Shaotian to 100 levels +50, no explanation needed. Huang Shaotian was spitting blood from anger, while Xiao Bei was timid and didn't know if he should fight this match.

"I said, hurry up. Look at how much time you're wasting. Zhang Xinjie has already gone to sleep," Ye Xiu said.

"What does his early bedtime have to do with me!" Huang Shaotian roared.

"If he wants to sleep, everyone wants to sleep. Are you going to fight or not? If you're not, we're all going to sleep," Ye Xiu said.

"That's right, that's right. Let's go to sleep, let's go to sleep," everyone chimed in.

"You guys get lost. Ye Qiu, stay," Huang Shaotian shouted.

"That won't do. We're all professional players. We have to stick together." Without even waiting for Ye Xiu to respond, everyone had already grabbed Huang Shaotian's weakness. This guy really wanted to fight Ye Qiu's unspecialized.

"Damn it, chalk it up to bad luck!" Huang Shaotian said helplessly.

"Come, come, come. Let's hurry up. Guilai Quhe, right? I'll send you back quickly." Before Huang Shaotian could even finish speaking, he directly attacked. Xiao Bei's mood hadn't even recovered yet, so he was caught off guard. Huang Shaotian was clearly depressed and showed no mercy. As he fought, he felt like this Battle Mage was Ye Qiu, extremely shameless. He attacked even more ruthlessly. Xiao Bei had basically become a punching bag, getting beaten up so badly that the other professional players couldn't bear to watch. "Too cruel, right? What a beast!"

"Beast +1."

"Beast +2."

"Beast +3."

"..."

In an instant, it was Beast +50.

"I'll be damned, won't you guys ever stop!!!" Huang Shaotian raged, spamming the public channel while fighting in the arena, unleashing a non-stop tirade.

"I'll be damned, the aggro has shifted!"

"Something bad is happening..."

The professional players were in tears. They couldn't even speak. They just watched as text soared across the screen. Zhan Lou Lan and the others were also stunned, watching Xiao Bei getting beaten up so badly, yet this guy could still find the time to spam the chat like this. How frightening was his hand speed and multitasking ability?

"Room host, who's the room host? Ban the channel!!!" Finally, someone thought of a solution and frantically called out in the chat. The other professional players immediately realized this and joined the call. No matter how fierce Huang Shaotian was, he couldn't possibly out-spam so many people. Seeing the screen filled with calls to ban the chat, Zhan Lou Lan felt dizzy and quickly banned the public channel.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they soon realized that without the message screen, they couldn't discuss the match collectively. They could only silently watch the match, which was a bit boring.

"We can use this!" Suddenly, a message came from somewhere.

"Oh, right! We still have this!"

The message came from a QQ group outside the game. Everyone windowed the game and watched the match while chatting on QQ, which didn't interfere with anything. But there was no way Huang Shaotian could switch between two screens, fighting and chatting on QQ at the same time.

"We should have done this earlier!"

The professional players discussed it for a few more sentences before refocusing on the match.

"This little Battle Mage isn't good!"

"It's because Huang Shao is too ruthless! He's taking all his anger out on him."

"So pitiful."

"That's why I said he's a beast!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Hey, hey, what are you guys talking about?" Someone who didn't know what was going on popped up in the group.

"Watching the show. Get in the game." Someone pointed out the obvious.

Thus, another wave of professional players ran to the game to join in. But by the time these people had found their way to the arena from all over the place, Huang Shaotian had already defeated all of Zhan Lou Lan's group.

The professional players had been having a lively time for quite a while. They finally quieted down because they saw Unspecialized, a character that had never appeared in the professional scene before, finally enter the arena. Zhan Lou Lan and his group finally understood that this was the real reason why all the professional players had flocked here. At that moment, Zhan Lou Lan quietly unbanned the channel and said something to hint at everyone. He hoped to see the professional players' discussion of this match here.

"Well, that's about it. Should we wash up and go to sleep?" The first person to speak was actually Ye Xiu.

"I'll be damned, I'll fight you to the death!!" Huang Shaotian shouted, drawing his sword.
