Chapter 14: Can the battle be played like this? ?

Lu Ze was slightly astonished.

After a moment of thought, he chose to decline.

Bearing too many secrets, he didn't want to have too much contact with True Disciples, even in the game.

But the other party, as if unwilling to give up, sent another application.

“Forget it. Winning against her will only make her want to catch up more.”

After some hesitation, Lu Ze finally chose to accept.

【A Righteous Path Cultivator has challenged you! As a Demonic Path Genius, even if the opponent’s strength is far superior to yours, you will not flinch!】

【Quest: Defeat the Righteous Path Cultivator Li Moran】

【Reward: One of the opponent's random skills】

Lu Ze was first dumbfounded, then he chuckled.

Now he had no choice but to ruthlessly crush the opponent.

He entered the Illusion Realm.

The account Lu Ze was currently using was a GM account.

He had specifically bought a set of equipment from the mall that could obscure his face, and with backend modifications, others couldn't see his true appearance.

Even Li Moran, who was at the Soul Transformation Stage, was no exception.

Li Moran looked at the flamboyantly dressed “Nameless” beside her, her brows slightly furrowed.

‘He’s not quite what I imagined.’

She thought to herself.

She challenged “Nameless” because she wanted to see what aspect the other party was better at than herself.

Although “Demon Sect Escape” was not cultivation in the traditional sense, and the final score did not represent the level of one’s Realm.

For example, Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen, who were currently battling.

The two had high cultivation Realms, but they performed no differently from ordinary Disciples in “Demon Sect Escape”.

But she had witnessed how perverse the difficulty became after three thousand steps.

She felt that anyone who could run further than her must be extraordinary.

Among Cultivators, the best way to understand an opponent was through sparring.

As the countdown was about to end,

Li Moran became even more focused, her expression colder than usual.

‘What exactly did he do better than me...?’

With this thought, Li Moran’s gaze was constantly fixed on “Nameless”’s every move.

She wanted to witness the methods of this “master”.

She saw the other party running, then suddenly bending down to pick up something she had never seen before.

The next moment.

A spittoon flew towards her forehead...

...

...

Soon.

Li Moran lost.

Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

This battle was far from what she had imagined.

Throwing a spittoon during the battle was one thing.

She accepted him causing her trouble with various Talismans.

She could even accept that Talismans had combination skills.

What she truly couldn’t understand was...

This “Nameless” walked ahead of her and actually reached over to pick up the items in her lane??

Is there no law anymore!!

For the first time, Li Moran felt that her combat intelligence seemed somewhat lacking.

Every Elder had said she was a Genius in a million.

“Nameless...”

She murmured softly, deep in thought.

Originally, she thought this “Nameless” must be an unworldly Genius.

Talented but not arrogant, deliberately hiding his identity.

In her impression, such Cultivators were usually gentlemen of pure character.

She never expected the other party’s methods to be so despicable...

But for some reason,

Li Moran didn’t feel disgusted.

Instead, she found it somewhat amusing.

Thinking of the moment of decisive victory, when the other party bent down and picked up her item,

A subtle curve involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth.

As for disgust.

It was those Cultivators who deliberately acted like gentlemen in front of her on ordinary days that truly disgusted her.

...

...

“Uh, it seems a bit simpler than I imagined?”

Exiting the Illusion Realm, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally thought that Li Moran, with her astonishing gaming talent, would put him under considerable pressure.

To get ahead of her and keep this hot commodity pursuing “Demon Sect Escape”,

Lu Ze went all out from the start.

Lu Ze’s use of various combat items was superb, completely subverting others’ perceptions.

He also used some little tricks that others didn’t know about.

For example, although each player only had one item slot, they could actually time their usage.

Proper timing and item cards could achieve the effect of combination skills.

Just now, he picked up a wooden Talisman and kept it in his hand without rushing to use it.

When he was about to pick up a water Talisman, he threw the wooden Talisman not far in front of Li Moran, causing a few branches to actively entangle her legs;

Then he quickly threw out the water Talisman, sprinkling spiritual rain on the branches.

The branches rapidly grew larger and became incredibly violent, much more powerful than ordinary traps.

This was a combination skill that most people would find hard to think of.

Another example: the two players’ tracks were separated, with a lethal barrier in between, so they could only run on their own tracks.

However, the lethal judgment of the barrier in battle mode didn’t mean that any part of the body touching it would result in death.

Slightly crossing the barrier with a part of the body would not trigger an instant death judgment.

In other words, with proper operation, enemy items on one’s own side could be taken over.

Lu Ze used this trick to stun Li Moran, and in her distraction, she fell victim to Lu Ze’s Talisman attack, subsequently dying tragically under the claws and fangs of Demonic Path Yao Beasts.

“She should play ‘Demon Sect Escape’ well now, right?”

Lu Ze muttered to himself, feeling very satisfied.

This afternoon, the three True Disciples in the hall, plus that unknown powerful Cultivator, had already increased his Demonic Path value by a thousand points.

At this rate, he would probably be able to Foundation Establishment tonight.

【Quest complete! You defeated a Righteous Path Cultivator whose strength was far superior to yours. You are indeed the hope of the Demonic Path!】

【Congratulations! You have obtained: Ice Breath Technique】

The quest settlement notification finally arrived.

“Holy crap! An Inner Sect Disciple’s skill, and it’s gold quality!”

Lu Ze was overjoyed.

As expected of an Inner Sect Disciple, the Rank of the skills dropped were different.

If he had known there was such a reward, why would he have hesitated?

He would fleece as much as he could!

He even hoped that Li Moran would come and give him a few more kills.

Or if Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen wanted to challenge him, he wouldn't mind.

Unfortunately, the former knew the significant gap in strength and went to solo mode to refine her skills.

The latter two were still immersed in their novice bickering...

Lu Ze had no choice but to give up.

He began to consider whether to build himself a very annoying persona to attract various Senior Brothers to solo him.

Such quests were pure wool-shearing.

He thought about the possibility of real-world consequences and decided against it.

He was still too weak for now.

...

...

Another hour passed.

“Junior Brother Lu, do you still have copies of the ‘Demon Sect Escape’ crystal?”

After battling Mu Yawen for a long time, Zhong Yi found “Demon Sect Escape” increasingly interesting and hurried to Lu Ze to purchase copies.

“Yes, I do. 10 Spirit Stones each.”

Lu Ze smiled and pulled out a crystal.

“I’ll take... two copies.”

Zhong Yi looked back at Mu Yawen and Li Moran, finally holding up two fingers.

As a True Disciple, he was not short of Spirit Stones.

But Li Moran, in his impression, had always been uninterested in anything outside of cultivation, so even if he bought an extra copy, she would probably just refuse.

To his surprise,

Li Moran actually took out ten Spirit Stones and placed them in front of Lu Ze.

“I want one too.”

Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen exchanged glances, telepathically communicating with their Divine Sense.

‘Did I hear that right? Junior Sister Li is actually interested in this kind of thing?’

‘Did she really find a cultivation method in ‘Demon Sect Escape’? As expected of Junior Sister Li, truly a cultivation Genius!’

‘It seems there must be some cultivation method hidden later in ‘Demon Sect Escape’. We still need to work hard... Junior Brother, let’s continue playing... no, continue battling tonight?’

‘Okay!’

‘Watch how I crush you later!’
