Chapter 242: Chapter 239: Is it a bit compelling?
How is it? Does the bubble grow?
How is your horse? Do you play like a world champion? Now come here and give me an autograph!
These words were just thought in his mind. Zhao Mingwei’s performance in this intercontinental competition was indeed too dazzling. It was so dazzling that even those who bad-mouthed him posted on forums and threads saying, ‘We’ve unanimously decided to grant Smile Lord immunity from bashing until he retires! Anyone dares to bash Smile Lord after this will face our wrath.’
“President! I’m coming!”
“How can I not go first as a big shot with a score of 1900 in the PK arena?”
“A score of 1900 dares to speak here?”
As Bubble was hesitating about who to send up against this world champion, his strategy team descended into complete chaos.

If defeating Mo Shigui allowed you to boast for a year… then just being ranked up against Zhao Mingwei was enough to boast for a whole year. Imagine if it was live-streamed; even if Smile Lord devastated him, the popularity would explode.
Now, Zhao Mingwei’s popularity in Huaguo’s esports circle was extremely high. After all, having been oppressed by Bangguo in the intercontinental competitions for many years, Zhao Mingwei had kicked the four top players from the opposing side into confusion. This victory in the intercontinental competition was not only a win but a thrilling one!
The true National Guardian Saint.
“Those who still have a place, post your arena ladder scores!” Seeing the faint signs of physical confrontations among his strategy team members, Bubble shouted in the team channel.
The remaining fifty-nine players gradually posted their ladder scores in the team channel. Of course, one or two players, who had been defeated by Mo Shigui, joined in too, but Bubble selectively ignored them.
There were many PvP experts in Bubble’s strategy team. Now, in the Holy Spirit Arena, the ranking was based on ladder scores. Generally, those who reached scores above 1900 were experts, 2300 scores were top-notch, and beyond 2400 scores, they could directly enter the leaderboard.
Zhao Mingwei’s ladder score was exactly 2400, and that was when he wasn’t even playing.
“You guys are so bad… I wonder if all ten of you would get blown up by Smile Lord?” Bubble checked his strategy team’s PvP rankings and found none of them had broken 2000 points.
“The arena has too few newcomers; it’s generally the same few people fighting each other. Besides, you are at a 600-point ladder segment, so what are you talking about?”
“That’s because I haven’t played!” Bubble said, his face turning red. He then chose ten players with scores of 1800 and 1900 from his strategy group, “If you get wiped out by one against ten, it would be too embarrassing!”
The ten selected players, filled with excitement, walked to Zhao Mingwei’s flag challenge area. As they entered the flag challenge range in a team state, the system determined it was one versus ten.
Flag challenges, a type of scoreless wilderness duel, lacked any form of balance.
“I hope everyone can go easy on me.” After saying this, Zhao Mingwei adjusted the dueling range of the flag challenge to its maximum, large enough to rival a train station’s waiting hall.
If it had been a tight space one against ten, even with Zhao Mingwei’s skills, he probably would have been instantly taken down by the AOE. He wasn’t foolish…
“Smile Lord! Give me an autograph, and I’ll just lie down and let you hit me,” said a Wandering Gunman player with an orange ID over his head.
“Can you show some spirit? Smile Lord… if we win, you definitely have to give us an autograph, right?” But this orange was soon struck on the head by a nearby Magic Scholar named Lemon to Mouth.
“Sure thing.”
Zhao Mingwei took a deep breath and posed the initial stance of Dragon Tiger Roar. The countdown to the duel also appeared above the flag.
Six ranged, four melee… seven squishy, three tough.
The moment the duel countdown ended, a Gun Master player targeted Zhao Mingwei and fired an anti-tank cannon.
The Telekinesis Energy Cannon was instantly released from Zhao Mingwei’s hands, colliding with the anti-tank cannon mid-air. The explosion of the anti-tank cannon temporarily obscured their vision. Taking advantage of this, Zhao Mingwei activated Telekinesis Beast·Dragon Tiger Roar and Wind Breath to increase his speed and charged straight at them!
So fast!
The Gun Master who had launched the anti-tank cannon was momentarily stupefied as he saw Zhao Mingwei rushing towards them.
This guy… could he be cheating?
But no. Zhao Mingwei’s movement speed was bafflingly fast. Despite a ten-meter gap between them, he appeared instantly in front of the leading Berserker player.
Mind Energy Masters, or any Fighter class, have a tiny movement trick. If your attack speed is fast enough, other players can’t catch up to you.
Fighters’ punches involve a short displacement effect, which most Fighter players don’t use because… it’s uncomfortable to move like that, and there’s a high chance of losing balance, being dragged around by your own punch isn’t a pleasant feeling, and it’s impossible to adjust the moving angle.
Zhao Mingwei certainly knew the drawbacks of this movement method. Right as he was about to fall forward, his punch, covered by Dragon Tiger Roar, directly hit the leading Berserker player.
The Berserker player, having just activated Blood Frenzy, hadn’t even realized what had happened when his face was bitten by Zhao Mingwei’s Dragon Tiger Roar… and then he flew up into the sky.
“Lord Lemon to Mouth is at Gadei’s place! Come into my acid rain range!” shouted the Magic Scholar known as Lemon to Mouth.
Her first reaction was to throw a magic potion capable of creating acid rain towards her Berserker teammate, and then thunderclouds filled with lightning began to gather in the sky, bringing down a deluge of acid rain!
Just as she was about to throw a lava potion to trap Zhao Mingwei’s movements… Zhao Mingwei’s eyes, lit up with electric arcs, suddenly appeared before her.
Damn!
Her hand trembled instantly, and the lava potion flew off into the sky before she could release it.
Being the most fragile member among the ten players, she knew from past encounters with Mind Energy Masters… This was the Mind Energy Master’s strongest skill in the duel arena, Tiger Earthquake.
Zhao Mingwei intended to reduce her health to below ten percent in one go. In this chaotic battle, a Magic Scholar with large-scale terrain skills posed the greatest threat.
With the extremely high damage of a Mind Energy Master, it was entirely possible to achieve this. This was a flag duel, without the damage modification present in an arena, and the fragile frame of the Magic Scholar simply couldn’t withstand a major strike from a Mind Energy Master.
As she was sent flying by Zhao Mingwei, Lemon to Mouth immediately swapped places with her Substitute Grass Man, reappearing amidst her acid rain area.
Thank goodness for life-saving… what’s it again?
As Lemon to Mouth looked up, she saw a fierce tiger pouncing towards her. Zhao Mingwei had already targeted the spot where her substitute would land. The worst part was that the Substitute Grass Man’s position was right where many of her teammates were gathered.
The god-devouring tiger bit into Lemon to Mouth and exploded on the ground a second later, causing her health to drop by seventy percent instantly. The teammates by her side also suffered, experiencing a certain amount of stiffness in their movements.
A Swordsman player outside the range of the acid rain seized the opportunity and launched a Fierce Dragon Breaking Air Slash directly at Zhao Mingwei from behind.
The moment he swung his longsword and charged at Zhao Mingwei, he realized he had slammed into a Telekinesis Energy Illusion summoned by Zhao Mingwei. The illusion couldn’t stop his Dragon Head Sword Qi attack, but it slowed his pace.
Then… as he watched in despair, Zhao Mingwei sidestepped and back jumped to dodge his Fierce Dragon Breaking Air Slash, soon flying into the sky himself.
The Swordsman player, feeling dejected, floated mid-air, holding his lightsaber… and then enjoyed a three-second long combo massage from Zhao Mingwei. He was more resilient, losing only ten percent of his health after the full combo.
The teammates restrained by Zhao Mingwei’s Tiger Earthquake finally pinpointed Zhao Mingwei’s position. The Gun Master pulled out his Laser Cannon aiming to fire without charging, but before he could pull the trigger, something flew in front of him.
What the heck is that?
The Gun Master was stunned for a moment, realizing it was the Swordsman’s face, who looked like he’d been “massaged” into a saintly state.
Although there might be no friendly fire among teammates, body collisions still occurred, and the two collided heavily.
“Don’t come over here!” Lemon to Mouth had just risen from the ground when she saw Zhao Mingwei’s form already appearing before her again.
……
Bubble spectated from outside, feeling relieved that he hadn’t rashly entered the fray… Now Zhao Mingwei alone had turned the flag duel arena into complete chaos.
In a ten versus one scenario, managing to execute a normal combo successfully was nearly impossible, but Zhao Mingwei’s timing was so precise it was chilling.
His damage may not have been the highest among those present, but he was always in the right place at the right time… and attacking the right person.
What puzzled Bubble was Zhao Mingwei’s reaction speed seemed a bit too fast; he could understand quick attack speeds since in the game, attacks and movements were completed through player motions as well as by pressing buttons.
With a high attack speed, most players would use buttons, because their hands simply couldn’t keep up!
But there’s a disadvantage to using buttons; the Basic Attack style is too monotonous. Bubble could confirm that Zhao Mingwei was entirely replicating the Basic Attack with his own movements, his punches and kicks angling extremely tricky.
So this is what a grandmaster is? Even a grandmaster couldn’t achieve this feat.
The secretly spectating Shadow Chosen of the Saints had a deeper understanding of the saints’ battling style.
In her eyes, skilled in assassination, the moving speed and responsiveness of ordinary saints were unsatisfactory. Although the saints commanded formidable power, their bodies and reactions couldn’t keep up with the speeds that this power warranted.
But these saints were getting stronger!
Over the three days, the Shadow Chosen felt this most acutely; the responsiveness and physical condition of all members of Bubble’s strategy team were slowly growing through battles.
These saints’ perfected forms might just end up being like Zhao Mingwei, who could take down ten saints of the same level in the snow!
Ferocious, precise, and brutal, just watching Zhao Mingwei battle made the Shadow Chosen feel a trace of palpitations.
