Chapter 241 -238 Exchange (6th release! Extra release for monthly tickets)
Mo Shigui slammed the spike-tipped conical shield in his hand downward… the spiked part of the shield precisely struck the throat of the Swordsman player before him.
A critical hit damage leaped from the Swordsman player’s head, and his remaining fifteen percent of health was instantly reduced to ten percent.
To claim victory in the Flag Challenge, one only needed to reduce the opponent’s health below ten percent.
A victory message accompanied by streamers sprang from above Mo Shigui’s head, signifying another win for him.
“This is so embarrassing… You guys are really embarrassing. The guild leader Mo is an elderly man, and all of you in your early twenties can’t beat him? How many consecutive wins does guild leader Mo have now?” Tan Suan was holding his forehead. He really had a headache now.
“Thirteen consecutive wins.” A member of the guild said, “Why don’t you try, president?”
“I am an Elemental Bomber! Have you ever seen an Elemental Bomber in PK?” Tan Suan might be the weakest in the strategy group.
“The seventh on the PK rankings is an Elemental Bomber.”
“Who said that? Dock pay! Dock their pay!”
Tan Suan ranted a few times and looked at Mo Shigui in the distance, drinking potions to recover his HP and MP, finally letting out a long sigh… Originally, Tan Suan thought that since Mo Shigui had retired for so long, his own players, whose skills would be considered top-notch in any small guild, were now being consecutively defeated by Mo Shigui, thirteen times in a row.
How embarrassing! Extremely embarrassing!
“President, let me do it.”
A player from the guild named Obsidian suddenly walked up to Tan Suan and said.
“Won’t it be too much to send you against guild leader Mo?” Tan Suan asked.
“It’s not really bullying. Guild leader Mo is my respected senior…”
“Then go ahead, Obsidian. If you lose after stepping in, it’ll really be shameful.”
After nodding, the player named Obsidian approached Mo Shigui… Mo Shigui also recalled him slightly, one of the substitutes obsessed with Cola. The reason he was a substitute was that he was too young, perhaps just eighteen years old in reality.
Obsidian didn’t go with the team to the international competition in Korea this time.

But even a substitute professional player is still a professional player, with physical fitness and reaction abilities that are not on the same level as ordinary players.
“Come on.”
Mo Shigui adjusted his breathing and switched his right-hand shield to the smaller round shield specialized for PK.
The occupation Obsidian used was assassin. The medium shield and the large shield used in PVE became a burden when facing agile characters like assassins.
Mo Shigui adjusted his breathing; he felt a bit out of breath just now, as if he had just run a half-marathon.
Playing VR games really is a physically demanding activity. Although players can complete actions like running and walking through some buttons on the VR system,
Mo Shigui also used buttons for extensive movements during PVE; after all… it saves energy. But during PVP, moving and running had to be performed directly in reality by Mo Shigui.
Because this made movements more precise, allowing him to quickly get to the desired position and make the best moves and dodges.
Thus, Mo Shigui’s amount of physical activity now exceeded his total last month! If not for the Holy Spirit enhancing his physical fitness, Mo Shigui might have collapsed from exhaustion after facing the tenth opponent.
One versus thirteen was already the limit for an elderly person like Mo Shigui… right?
Mo Shigui didn’t think so; he believed he could still fight!
“Senior… I’ll learn from you.” Although Obsidian kept respectfully calling him senior, he was quite cunning… As a newcomer, his PK experience wasn’t as high as Mo Shigui’s. Now, with Mo Shigui’s remaining stamina almost depleted, it was almost guaranteed that he’d win the fight.
The flag representing the duel was planted between them, Mo Shigui instantly activated a defensive stance, raising his round shield and longsword towards Obsidian who was farther away.
Obsidian gripped his twin daggers inversely, and his figure disappeared from in front of Mo Shigui.
Stealth.
Mo Shigui concentrated, listening to the footsteps around him, he had plenty of experience fighting invisible enemies. Stealth in the Holy Spirit was not invincible; footsteps could still be heard.
Mo Shigui instantly captured Obsidian’s footsteps, on his left!
Mo Shigui swung his longsword at the air to his left, but only managed to slice through Tan Suan’s pale grey hair… Tan Suan’s dagger glided over Mo Shigui’s sword blade like a venomous snake, aiming for his throat.
But in that moment, Mo Shigui did not block Tan Suan’s incoming dagger; instead, he raised the small round shield in his hand behind him.
Another figure of Tan Suan appeared in the air behind Mo Shigui.
One of the skills common to stealthy professions like assassins and thieves… Clone.
The clone retained the player’s skills and attack moves from three seconds prior. Tan Suan’s clone’s attack was too realistic; any veteran could have been deceived, potentially wasting all their abilities on the clone.
But Mo Shigui’s experience was not limited to that of a veteran. Tan Suan’s real body had already used a displacement skill named “Shadow Strike” to move behind Mo Shigui!
Tan Suan’s two daggers struck Mo Shigui’s small round shield, which could only block twenty percent of the damage. Two damage figures, nearly seven hundred each, popped above Mo Shigui’s head, but at least the shield blocked the stun from Tan Suan’s attack.
After being discovered, Tan Suan didn’t back off; he switched his left hand’s reverse grip to a forward grip and stabbed directly at Mo Shigui’s abdomen.
The strike accurately pierced the gap in the armor around Mo Shigui’s belly, causing another high damage figure to emerge above his head. However, Mo Shigui also gripped his longsword in reverse and struck the assailant’s face with the pommel of his sword.
This assassin, likely inexperienced in the arena with shield warriors using the hilt to strike, collided face-first with Mo Shigui’s sword hilt, and a stun indicator appeared above his head.
The Holy Spirit skill combination is incredibly flexible. Although some professions have unique skill mechanics, such as the assassin’s combo mechanism, skill deployment is as comfortable as it comes.
Some of Mo Shigui’s skills that required the longsword could be released using either the blade or the hilt of the sword.
Mo Shigui certainly wouldn’t miss the chance offered by a stun lasting less than 0.2 seconds. He used the Shield Warrior’s uplift skill to put his opponent into a floated state… but it was very simple for an assassin to break out of floatation. Mo Shigui’s combo lasted less than two seconds before Tan Suan found an opportunity and stepped on the blade of his sword.
It wasn’t about seeing through the move… but finding a fulcrum. Tan Suan saw his skill bar light up with the “Spiral Piercing” skill, and he released it mid-air, switching from defense to offense as he surged toward Mo Shigui with both daggers.
The battle lasted a very long time, almost thirteen minutes. The duel between the Shield Warrior and the assassin eventually became a war of attrition. In the end, Mo Shigui leveraged his experience to catch a flaw in Tan Suan and depleted his health to below ten percent.
Mo Shigui’s final sword stroke crossed Tan Suan’s abdomen… A damage figure less than two hundred popped above Tan Suan’s head, but his health was less than ten percent.
The word “Victory” popped up above Mo Shigui’s head once again.
“Senior, you are still formidable…” Tan Suan sighed helplessly, sitting on the obsidian ground.
Assassins drain more energy in PK than Shield Warriors, having to maintain high-intensity displacements continuously to find the weaknesses of such ironclad opponents.
But Mo Shigui also expended a great deal of physical strength and energy in this battle, incessantly gasping and adjusting his breathing… He now felt not just like he had run a half marathon, but a full marathon, to the point of wanting to lie down on the ground.
“Next… one.”
Even speaking seemed difficult for Mo Shigui at this point, but he still had to defeat fifty-nine more players!
“Guild leader Mo is amazing, but maybe it’s about time you stopped, or you might literally drop dead,” Bubble said, observing Mo Shigui who knelt gasping on the ground. Although not a PK player, Bubble had been fighting the Flame Ash Dragon using his legs for movement and certainly knew how tiring it was to move using legs rather than VR keys.
“Keep going, it’s fine,” Mo Shigui said, sticking his longsword into the ground to support himself and stand up, ready to face the next player’s challenge.
But just then, another flying mount descended from the sky.
“The barbecue party is over,” a figure jumped down from the flying mount and said to Mo Shigui.
At this moment, the entire Cool Madness guild fell into an eerie silence… Mo Shigui turned and saw it was Zhao Mingwei.
“Flag PK? Let me take over,” Zhao Mingwei, grasping the situation at a glance, said, “I also took that hidden mission from Sheral.”
“Even if I say this is my issue now, you probably wouldn’t agree,” Mo Shigui looked at Zhao Mingwei, and both exchanged rueful smiles.
“Swap?” Zhao Mingwei approached the half-kneeling Mo Shigui and raised his hand.
“Swap,” Mo Shigui lifted his arm and gently touched hands with Zhao Mingwei.
A thunderous arc of sparks erupted the moment their arms collided.
Zhao Mingwei didn’t need to say much else, their understanding was established seven years ago.
Zhao Mingwei calmly walked over to face all members of the Cool Madness guild, then violently planted a challenge flag into the ground.
“Guild leader Bubble, let’s just brawl,” Zhao Mingwei’s pupils erupted with a roaring thunder resembling the ascent of a dragon and a tiger, which also reflected the dumbfounded expressions of all Cool Madness members, “I remember there are still fifty-nine left? I might not beat fifty-nine alone, but I can try one against ten, that saves time, right? Guild leader Bubble?”
