Lingxiao Sect, Spectating Area.

A brief silence.

After all, everyone in the Lingxiao Sect had originally come to see how the "legend" would continue.

For a grand future Saint to suddenly commit such an outrageous act, and in such a highly-anticipated public setting, was rather embarrassing.

"Everyone, there is no need to worry too much."

The silence was finally broken by Zhong Yi.

Right now, Lu Ze's match had just concluded, and the next one hadn't started yet, leaving the central screen pitch black.

Zhong Yi stared at the empty screen, his eyes burning with absolute trust in Lu Ze.

"Although Junior Brother Lu's actions just now weren't very honorable, the circumstances were special after all, so it's understandable... Entering late in the game, one must win through unconventional tactics."

"From just this one round, Junior Brother Lu must have amassed at least three million in assets."

"In the first round, Junior Brother Lu probably wanted to buy equipment but lacked the funds, but now the situation is different."

"Not only does he have money, but he also has ready-made Tier 6 gear."

"Everyone can completely forget what just happened..."

"Because from this moment on, it is the highlight moment of our Lingxiao Sect's future Saint, True Disciple Lu!"

Just as his ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) voice fell,

the screen in the arena suddenly lit up.

Everyone's eyes lit up. This meant that Lu Ze's second match had begun.

As a new match began, the crowd from various sects around the spectating area suddenly swelled.

Zhong Yi stared eagerly at the screen in the center of the arena, his gaze firmly locked onto Lu Ze's perspective.

With the appearance of Lu Ze's character selection, Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief internally.

Because this time, Lu Ze had not chosen Red Wolf, but Uluru.

At the thought of the scene earlier where Red Wolf mutated in a second and sprinted all the way after possessing someone, Zhong Yi found it hard to keep a straight face.

Although Uluru's reputation wasn't great either due to the Bridge-blocking incident,

compared to Lu Ze's performance just now, it was a minor issue.

The Lingxiao Sect Disciples grew restless once more.

"It's not Red Wolf, it's Uluru!"

"??? Isn't Uluru even more of a scumbag than Red Wolf??"

"We haven't seen Uluru disgusting people on the dam yet... It shouldn't go that far, right?"

"Could it be... True Disciple Lu is really going to start getting serious?"

"Scared me to death... I almost thought I wouldn't have the face to see anyone after tonight..."

"Let's see what gun he's using first. What if it's a pistol again..."

...

Soon, the match officially began.

Lu Ze's perspective slowly unfolded before everyone.

Zhong Yi immediately checked Lu Ze's loadout info, and his slightly worried brow finally smoothed out!

"Junior Brother Lu is indeed getting serious! This time, he brought a fully-modded 【Zhentian-25】!"

Zhong Yi was extremely familiar with this gun.

Back then, for Bridge-blocking, he had specifically developed this DMR.

Wait!

Zhong Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Uluru with a 【Zhentian-25】...

Bridge-blocking?!

Zhong Yi's heart instantly tightened. He quickly recalled every corner of Dam Zero in his mind. Only after confirming there was no bugged terrain like the Celestial Bridge in the Ascension Base did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"That was close, that was close. I almost thought Junior Brother Lu was going to stop acting like a decent human being again..."

Zhong Yi muttered to himself in a low voice, then fixed his gaze on Lu Ze once more.

"Junior Brother Lu isn't wearing a helmet or armor, but being thrifty has always been a traditional virtue of our Lingxiao Sect. Presumably, Junior Brother Lu is highly confident in himself."

"Junior Brother Lu spawned at Spawn Point One on the east side of the Administrative Palace this time. Let's see what he chooses..."

"Junior Brother Lu still doesn't plan on entering the building! This time, he chose to turn right back!"

"Just as I said in the last round, entering a building alone is extremely risky, and Junior Brother Lu knows this well... I guess he's turning back to counter-attack the team from the Wanderer Temple!"

"Huh? Ziplining straight to the back slope? Junior Brother Lu is going to..."

"The dam top?!"

...

...

Inside Lu Ze's Illusion Realm.

When it came to how to play like a complete scumbag, he knew every trick in the book.

Especially on this dam map, Lu Ze could pull out dozens of different camping spots without repeating any.

He glanced at the quest progress bar.

The progress bar was divided into two.

One was the progress bar for killing Righteous Cultivators, which was straightforward.

The other was the progress bar for his 'reputation' in this match.

Lu Ze guessed that the more of a scumbag he was, and the more disgusted the audience was with him, the faster this progress bar would rise.

With just a little effort earlier, merely performing 'Hua Lai' once, the progress bar had moved by 5%.

Lu Ze was curious: would different scumbag behaviors bring different increases?

So this time, he chose another path—

Dam-top sniping.

Of course, it didn't necessarily have to be dam-top sniping.

If he had spawned at other spots, Lu Ze had plenty of other clever tricks for long-range camping, but this time he just happened to spawn near the dam top.

Lu Ze made his way to the dam top with practiced ease.

Sliding down the zipline, he arrived at a gap in the iron plates suspended in mid-air.

Lu Ze found a good spot and lay down on the ground like an experienced pro.

The entire container area was fully within his line of sight!

...

...

At the same time,

at the Administrative Palace.

"Holy crap! We got matched with Old Devil Lu!!!"

A player named 【Liusha】, seeing the announcement of the star Cultivator in the sky, spoke in a tone filled with both anger and excitement.

"Old Devil Lu?? Then we definitely have to take him down!!!"

【Liusha】's teammate was a random stranger. Upon hearing they were matched with Lu Ze, his eyes instantly gleamed with excitement.

For any player, solo-killing Lu Ze was a highly prestigious achievement.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know where Old Devil Lu usually camps..."

【Liusha】 smiled mysteriously.

Those who had intentionally queued up to snipe Lu Ze weren't just one or two.

But rather a fairly large crowd.

【Liusha】 was one of them.

Lu Ze's 'Hua Lai' tactic from the last round was already spreading like wildfire on the forums.

【Liusha】, who had intentionally queued to snipe Lu Ze, had naturally received the relevant information.

"Come, everyone follow me!"

【Liusha】 waved them over.

They had originally planned to follow the Spawn Point One team into the building, but upon hearing that Lu Ze was in the match, they instantly changed their minds.

Led by 【Liusha】, the three of them came to the east side of the containers, the classic spot for 'Hua Lai'.

In an instant, lightning arrows, bombs, grenades...

all sorts of throwables were thrown in all at once.

"Got a hit!!!"

【Liusha】 was delighted, immediately following up with a second lightning arrow.

Then, a kill notification popped up.

But it wasn't Lu Ze.

Looking at the familiar name 【Zishu 12】, the three of them couldn't help but be a bit dazed.

Clearly, this guy, just like 【Liusha】, had also watched the forum posts or live streams.

However, he hadn't come to hunt down Lu Ze, but rather to imitate Lu Ze and play like a scumbag.

"Strange... Why isn't he here?"

【Liusha】 scratched his head in confusion.

"Maybe he spawned at Longbow Spawn Point One. It's too far, so he didn't come... Let's just loot what we can."

his teammate analyzed.

"Alright!"

The three of them had no choice but to split up and start looting the containers.

"Damn it! We actually failed to catch Old Devil Lu..."

【Liusha】 walked over to the upper container on the east side in frustration, having just opened a large medical kit.

*Bang!*

Two golden Spirit Bullets instantly pierced through his head.

【Realm Master Lu Ze has knocked down Liusha!】

"FUCK!! Old Devil Lu is nearby!!!"
